Annika looked at the sky as she sat in the sitting area of the patio. It was evening and they're back from Oberoi mansion after having meet with pandit ji who took out the date for their roka and engagement.

She looked up as she saw Shivaay coming with a tray having coffee cups. She smiled taking it from her and keeps on the table.

"What are you thinking?", he asked softly sitting beside her taking his cup of coffee. She smiled shaking her head.

"Nothing much, just thinking about our roka and then going to Goa as mom and dad wants", she said making him hold her hand.

"Relax baby, everything will be fine now. We'll go through everything together and now our happy time is starting, we'll soon be married in few months", he said pecking her hand making her smile nodding.

"I am very happy Shivaay, now I am yours. No one can separate us", she said wrapping arms around his torso keeping head on his chest. He smiled hugging her back.

"You're always mine baby, nothing could have separated us", he said looking at her, "we're meant to be together", he pecked her lips as she looked up at him making her smile widely.

"Okay, now you're coming Allure with me tomorrow, you remember we have a photoshoot right?", he asked making her smile widely.

"Of course! I am so excited for this one. It's definitely gonna be the best one, Malika always comes out with best set ups", she grinned at him making him smile.

"That's true. Her intelligence, artistic mind is mind-blowing, I remember when we first met. She was so confident and impressed me instantly", Shivaay praised making her smile.

"So Mr. CEO was impressed huh?", she said teasingly making him chuckle shrugging.

"Waise..did I impress this CEO?", she asked moving fingers over his chest with a naughty smile making him raise his eyebrows.

"Ohh! Well, I am more them impressed by you, Ms. D'Souza", he said rubbing his nose over her cheek making her giggle. He nuzzles inhaling her.

"Don't make me loose my control before our marriage pumpkin, I might have made that decision but trust me, I can break it too", he whispered against her ear making her blush.

"You know I won't deny you", she said looking at him, arms still around his torso.

"But I want to wait. For us, I want to make that night the most beautiful one", he said softly kissing her forehead making her heart flutter.

"Let's order sometime from outside today, I don't wanna leave you", he said snuggling into her making her giggle and nods.

He smiled picking her up and going inside kissing her lips making her giggle against his mouth kissing him back.

Annika hugged his neck before pecking his cheek while he took her to their bedroom.

"Mr. Oberoi is looking very handsome today", she muttered as he made her lay down on the bed.

"And to-be Mrs. Oberoi is looking gorgeous as always", he said hovering her and kisses her cheek moving down to her neck, making her shudder feeling his kisses on her crook.

"Um.. Shivaay", she moaned moving hands behind his neck caressing the back of his hair. He smiled feeling her fingers and starts kissing her crook when her phone started ringing.

He sighed looking up at her making her look at apologitically with a pout. He gently pecked it before laying beside her holding her hand. Sighing, she took the phone and saw her mom calling.

"Why is mom calling me now?", she muttered confused as her mother rarely calls apart from having some work from her.

"Hello? Yes mom", she said picking up the call while Shivaay looked at her while playing with her fingers.

"Hello Annie, I hope you're free. I wanted to talk about something important", she replied from other side.

"Um..yeah mom I am free, what is it?", she asked blinking, hoping to get positive response from other side.

"I want you to be free for entire upcoming week. First, it's your roka and then we will leave for Goa too by Sunday evening. Your dad and I wanted to throw a small engagement party back at home with friends and family. I also wanted you to ask Shivaay also if he could take out a week from his schedule", Lily said making Annika silent for a while. Shivaay noticed it.

"What happened?", he whispered tucking her hair. Keeping hand on her speaker of phone, she looked at him.

"Mom wants us to have the entire week off for next week, she and dad wants to throw an engagement party for us", she said the same thing to him.

"That's nice baby, of course they would want to celebrate their daughter's new beginnings. What's the problem?", he asked.

"Will you be free for entire week? You must be having work. I can reschedule as it's just some interviews but can you?", she asked again with a worried face.

"Come on, it's for our engagement. I have all my time for you. We'll spend entire week with your parents", he said softly making her smile and peck his cheek. He chuckled.

"Now talk to her, she must be wondering where you went", he said pointing on the phone making Annika realise and nod.

"Hello? Annika are you there?", Lily said from other side.

"Umm..yeah mom sorry, I was asking from Shivaay if he was free", she said getting back on the call.

"Oh! So is he?", she asked again.

"Yes mom, he's free and we'll spend the next week in Goa. Afterall, it's you and dad wishing to do something for us", she said softly making Shivaay smile widely seeing Annika being soft towards her mother. On the other side, even Lily felt good.

"Thank you beta. We'll see each other on Friday for the shopping of your engagement", Lily said making Annika hum and both kept the call.

"Very good pumpkin, I am happy you're taking steps towards your mom to makes things better between you guys", he said wrapping arm around her neck. She smiled softly moving close to his chest.

"Shivaay. It's not like I hate mom. She's my mother, of course I want everything perfect with her but it's just we've fought so much in past, specially me for myself that now I have fear that if I let her come back in my comfort circle, she'll again try to make me do what she want", she said softly gulping making him sigh knowing her.

Since the time he has met her and known her, he has seen how Annika never held grudges towards anyone. She is forgiving and soft from her heart. He knew the fear she has regarding her mother was valid but he knew that one day she'll over come it, she'll realise that it's her life and she'll always her own control over it.

"And now when she's taking steps towards me to solve matters between us, I won't take my steps back, I'll also try to solve", she continued softly making him smile and kiss her temple.

"Everything will be fine baby. I am with you now and now you'll face everything with me beside you", he said pecking her head firmly hugging her close making her smile widely.

"I love you, babe" she said softly kissing his chest.

"I always love you more", he replied closing his eyes feeling her close in his arms.

Next morning,

"Annika! Come fast, yaar, we're getting late. Traffic would be there too", he said wearing his shoes at the door, ready in a white shirt with beige tie and off white waist coat paired up with black and beige checked pants. His coat similar to his pants was laying beside the couch. His hair was well gelled with his perfectly trimmed beard.

"Aree baba, aa rahi hun! Let me just check that doors and windows are closed or not", she said checking the windows in the living room before going to the front door to him, wearing her earrings.

"Annika! I don't want to get late, you know I like punctuality and we're definitely gonna get huge traffic. Hurry up. Don't make me late for first time", she heard his complaining voice.

"Rude Mr. Oberoi! It's not true that you're always punctual", she said coming in front of him with hands on her waist. He looked up and a smile came itself, seeing her looking gorgeous in her look.

Annika was in a knee-length bodycon dress with full sleeves having an in-built belt tied loosely around her waist, sideways. She was having her hair wavy and left open with minimal makeup and just golden ear loops and her rings as jewelleries.

[P.C: Pinterest]

"When am I late?", he asked getting up with a smile finding her hot and cute at the same time.

"Oh please! You're mostly late for our dates, always giving excuse of either traffic or work", she said twisting her mouth. He chuckled lightly before wrapping his arms around her waist.

"Is my love complaining?", he asked leaning closer to her, pecking her cheek. She blushes smiling lightly.

"Maybe", she shrugged trying to show she's not affected. He noticed it and pecked her other cheek.

"Well, then what can I do to remove this complaint?", he whispered huskily nearing to her lips making her chuckle and slap his cheek lightly and playfully.

"Ab late nahi ho raha?", she asked narrowing eyes making him shake his head hugging her close. She smiled wrapping arms around him.

"I love you", he said softly, pecking her temple making her smile brighten.

"I love you too", she hugged him closer sighing in happiness.

"Let's leave now, we're actually very late. We've errands to run" she said palming his stubbled cheek making him smile and nod.

Taking her handbag and keeping her pair of home keys inside it, she held his hand and both left for Allure.

About and hour or so, Shivaay and Annika reached Allure. The security of the company already kept the media away so that they could go inside easily. Shivaay got down from the car and at the same moment, Annika also came out. He went on her side keeping hand on her waist.

"Let's go inside", he said smiling softly, caressing her waist calmly.

"Yeah one second", she smiled and turned towards the media waving at them making them happy seeing their favourite actress being humble towards them.

"Always sweetest towards everyone", he said softly as they entered inside the office. She smiled shrugging making him kiss her cheek.

"Shivaay! We're in your office", she said shyly making him chuckle and both walked towards the reception. There, the receptionist Naina smiled seeing them making the couple smile back.

"Good morning Sir and ma'am. How are you doing? It's great to see you two after so long", she said smiling politely but

"Good morning Naina, we're definitely doing good. How are you?", she asked back while Shivaay let the ladies talk, having arm around Annika's waist.

"I am doing good ma'am. By the way, a big congratulations for your engagement sir and ma'am" she said happily making ShivIka smile.

"Thank you so much Naina", she said smiling and then the girls started talking. Shivaay shook his head seeing that Annika is friends with literally everyone in his office.

"Sorry to intervene ladies", he said while Annika was showing her ring, which she still couldn't stop gushing over. Both looked at him blinking while Annika gave a sheepish smile. He chuckled seeing that.

"Naina, Sia will update you with all my meetings today, just make sure none of the clients gets late. Sia will be slightly busy in photoshoot today", he said looking at the reception making her smile politely and nod.

"Yes sir, Sia has already updated me. Don't worry, I'll handle everything. Have a great photoshoot ma'am", she said looking at Annika.

"Aww thank you Naina", Annika said hugging her making her smile hugging her favourite actress back.

"Shall we go upstairs now?", Shivaay said making her nod humming and both left for his cabin.

|••|

Reaching his cabin, Shivaay got busy immediately in a work call while Annika called her assistant to get her schedule for next day. Both were trying to complete as much work as possible before the weekend as they'll be busy for a week after that.

Just as Shivaay finished his call and turned to look at Annika, who was at the couch, Malika barged in with a worried face.

"Hey Mal, is everything fine?", Annika asked seeing her facial expressions.

"I don't think it is, Arnav just got a call from Rudy telling that Om met with an accident", she said making Shivaay getting shouting.

"What? How? And why didn't he call me?", he asked worries immediately taking his car keys, ready to leave.

"He was trying to call you but both yours and Annika's phones were busy. I think we should leave for hospital, Arnav has left taking Bhavya and Gauri", she said making Shivaay and Annika nod and the three left for hospital.

Annika drove the car to hospital knowing Shivaay's condition right now. Om and Rudra are like his limbs, like a body cannot function properly without limbs similarly Shivaay cannot function properly without his OmRu.

As she stopped the car at the hospital, Shivaay immediately got down from the car rushing inside the hospital. Annika and Malika rushed behind him. They saw him going towards a direction, following him.

"I just hope Om is fine", Annika said herself being worried. Malika blinked at her assuringly.

"I am worried for Gauri", she said making Annika confused. They reached near the ward where Om is admitted, Shivaay already went inside.

"What do you mean?", she asked confused, Malika blinked nodding and said she'll tell in sometime. Annika nods and both went inside.

There, Shivaay was talking to the doctor, while Om was on the bed and Gauri, Bhavya, Rudra and Arnav beside him.

"Doctor are you sure there's nothing to be worried about?", Shivaay asked the doctor.

"No Mr. Oberoi, fortunately the accident was not severe, just his arm's muscles has been stretched because of which it might stay limp for somedays and then, just a small cut on his forehead", doctor explained after examining.

Shivaay sighed in relief hearing this and hummed going beside Om caressing his head.

"How were you driving the car Om? What if this accident would have got severe!", Shivaay said with a frown, worry lacing in his voice. Doctor left from there to give some privacy.

"Shivaay I was driving slow, I don't know suddenly from where a car came from wrong direction and..", he sighed making Shivaay hum nodding and gently caressed his forehead over the bandage. Both looked towards Rudra who was standing with tears.

"Oye! Stop crying, Rudy. I am fine", Om said raising hand towards Rudra who held it and then immediately hugged him, crying. Shivaay caressed his hair while Om was holding him close.

"Isn't this looking like parents handling their crying baby?", Arnav whispered to ladies making them chuckle.

"Shivaay is really like a father figure to Om and Rudy", Annika said softly looking at the boys with a smile making others hum.

Annika looked towards Gauri who was wiping her tears. She went towards her and kept hand on shoulder making Gauri look at her.

"What happened to you? I know you two are close friends but this is not tears of friendship Ri", she said softly making Gauri look down fiddling with her fingers.

"Um..I like him Annika", Gauri whispered to her making Annika's eyes widen. She looked towards Malika and Bhavya who nodded.

"What? And you didn't even tell me Ri? We had a girl code between three of us, whenever we'll like any boy, we'll tell each other", she whisper said with a frown making Malika hold her shoulder.

"Annika, even we got to know last night. Gauri was not telling anyone, we just guessed, she and Om were talking secretly in her room over the call when we noticed and confronted her", Bhavya said making Annika look at her and then at Gauri who still had some tears.

"I am sorry", Annika said hugging her tightly with closed eyes. Gauri sighs in relief realising she's not angry and hugged her back.

"Main pehle Om se confess karna chahti thi, that's why I didn't tell anyone. Last night itself, Om also confessed that he likes me", Gauri said hugging Annika tightly with a soft smile. Annika hummed smiling. The other two were also smiling.

"I am happy that you and Om are together now", she said parting making Gauri smile softly.

"Finally, she calmed down from you Anu", Bhavya said making Annika side hug her again.

"What are you four talking there?", Shivaay asked looking towards the girls who was standing little away talking. Annika looked at him and shook her head.

"Just Gauri got little scared after Om's accident, now she's fine", Annika said as they came by near boys.

"Gauri, I am fine. Don't worry", Om said holding her hand who hummed caressing his hair gently. Shivaay, Rudra and Arnav looked at each other confused. Girls noticed this.

"Jo tum teeno ko lag raha hai, wahi hai! Gauri and Om are seeing each other now", Malika said making boys gasp.

"That means I am getting two bhabhis together?", Rudy exclaimed making Shivaay and Om give him looks.

"He just want bhabhis" Shivaay muttered and then looked towards Gauri smilng. Rudra pouted before smiling brightly at Gauri and went to her, hugging her tightly. Gauri smiles brightly hugging him back.

"I am really happy for you and Om, Gauri. Always remember if any issues come, you have me, you can tell me", Shivaay said softly. He always preferred Gauri, Bhavya and Malika as his sisters, specially Gauri. He had a special protective nature towards him, like a elder brother for his little sister.

"I know bhaiya, I am sure Omkara and me will build up our relationship", Gauri replied assuring him making Om smile while Shivaay nodded.

"Shivaay, I am so sorry. I won't be able to do Annika's photoshoot today", Om said making Shivaay roll his eyes.

"Are you mad Om? Of course we know you can't and it's completely fine. There are other photographers who can do the photoshoot", Shivaay said making Om smile softly.

"You need to rest Om, we'll look after the photoshoot", Annika said pressing his shoulder gently.

"Shivaay, I am afraid we won't be able to shoot today then", Arnav said making everyone look at him.

"Why? There are other photographers Arnav", Malika said confused.

"I know but this morning I sent some of them for outdoor shoots and others who are there, they're also busy. I thought Om will be free then there won't be any problem", Arnav said making everyone sigh.

"I think we can appoint some photographer from outside too, I guess?", Annika asked making Shivaay and Arnav nod.

"That's true. We can do that Annika. Om, you have someone in your contact?", Arnav asked.

"Yeah, I have some. Numbers are in my phone", he eyed his phone on the table beside.

"One second. If you don't mind, I have one friend. Can he come for the shoot?", Annika asked making everyone smile while Shivaay frowned lightly.

"Friend? Kaun Annika?", Shivaay said sounding casual making everyone control their smiles. They could clearly see Shivaay getting possessive.

"I have many friends Shivaay, you know", Annika said pressing lips together noticing him getting possessive. He sighed.

"Of course I know. Call him", he muttered making Annika chuckle. Jealous Shivaay is always adorable.

"I'll just go and call him", Annika said making him nod while others were still controlling their laugh.

"What?", he gave everyone a look making everyone burst into laughter.

"Shut up guys! I will go and get the discharge papers", he muttered fumbling making everyone control their laughs and he went out.
