"Mr. Oberoi, what are you doing herei?" Annika asked in a stern tone. Shivaay turned to her, wrapped one of his arms around her waist and pulled her towards him.

"Mr Oberoi? I am your Shivaay Annika, your husband." Annika looked around to see if the kids saw (Luckily they were busy chatting amongst themselves) and tried pushing herself away from Shivaay but his grip was too strong.

"You lost the right to call yourself my husband many years ago.....leave me!" Annika whispered pushing against Shivaay's chest.

"I didnt come here to leave you Annika." Shivaay slowly let go of Annika and brought his hands to her face. Annika held her breathe as Shivaay came closer to her until their noses touched. "I love you.....I know that I lost all my rights on you by my own mistake but I still love you alot.....please...please just listen to me."

(Ignore what they are wearing but this is the pose)

Annika stared into Shivaay's eyes, forgetting where they are, what he did...everything. As a tear rolled down her face, Shivaay gently used his thumb to wipe it away.

"Annika..." Shivaay whispered.

"Annika Ma'am." Snapping back to reality, Annika finally pushed Shivaay away from her as one of the kids called out to her.

"Yeah...Im coming." Annika cleared her throat, turned to Shivaay and glared at him, "Mr Oberoi, I dont have time to listen to you, I need to start class."

"Thats fine....I'll wait here until you are free." Shivaay replied and went to sit on the bench at the side of the room. Sighing in defeat, Annika decided to ignore Shivaay and continue class.

"Hey...lets go." Meera came back and told Alia.

"What? But what about Annika aunty and Shivaay uncle?"

"Ive handled that...now lets go, we have to go shopping with Sona."

"I really hate when you do this. Can't you tell me what the plan is?" Alia whined as the two of them sat in Meera's car.

"Ok fine....the plan is that Ma & Papa have to spend the whole night in the dance school....alone."

"But Annika aunty doesnt even want to speak to Shivaay uncle."

"I know...but Ma will have no choice, they will be trapped." Meera said with a smile.

"Bhai....tell me we are gonna kill that little b-" Faisal growled.

"Of course....she killed our brother. I wont leave her. We will kill her." Abdul replied. "But not now."

"Not now? Then when? She killed our brother, she killed Javed and the police didnt even question her...are we just gonna sit silently? Why cant we do something now?" Faisal yelled.

"Because we said so...thats why." Two older women stepped out of the shadows. They were none other than Svetlana & Saumya.

"Who are these two aunties?" 

(Imagine Svetlana & Saumya are older)

"Excuse me! I know that we are older than you but dont dare call us aunty!" Saumya angrily said.

"Relax Saumya....the four of us are on the same side." Svetlana calmed her sister down.

"Svetlana...you still havent said why you stopped me from take revenge for my brother's death. And what enemity do you have with that Meera?" Abdul asked.

"With Meera? None but with the Oberois we do....a very old enemity. When you werent even born....since then."

"What connection is there between your enemity with Oberoi's and our revenge?" Faisal asked confused.

"There is a connection...just think, Why didnt the police question Meera after the death of your brother? Because the Oberois are protecting her, if you try anything without thinking it through then you will either find yourself in jail or with your brother up there." Svetlana explained. "Trust me, I have been dealing with the oberois for years, Shivaay Singh Oberoi is not someone to be taken lightly. We have to be very careful."

"But why are you helping us?" Abdul asked.

"Because even though I have no personal problem with Meera, she is helping the Oberois and the Oberois are protecting her. There is something that I dont know...and there is also a warrant out for you two...its better if you stay hidden for awhile."

After leaving from there Saumya turned to Svetlana.

"Di...they are right. Why are we helping them? And where di you find them?"

"I hired detectives to find ou the relation between Meera and the Oberoi. They didnt find anything but I found these two." Svetlana smirked, "Saumya you know your Di, I never do anything without reason.I am helping them because they will be my weapon against the Oberois. Just as soon as I figure out the connection between Meera & Oberois...."

Location: Dance School

"Bye Annika ma'am!" The kids called out as their parents took them home. True to his word Shivaay was still sitting their, waiting to talk to Annika but she had no plan to listen so she started to walk out with her students.

"Annika." Mrs Patel walked in at that moment, "Im so sorry, but before you leave can you do something for me? There are some chairs in the other room, please keep them in the store room. I would do it myself but Im in a rush. Once your done, just let the watchman know and he will lock the school after you leave."

"Haan...Ill do it."

"Thank you so much Annika." Mrs. Patel smiled and quickly went downstairs. Before going home, she told the watchman to lock the doors and go home. Taking out her phone, Mrs Patel sent a txt to Meera.

'Your work is done'

Meanwhile, Annika was upstairs putting the chairs into the store room.

"Ill help you." Shivaay tried to take a chair from her but Annika ignored him and continued on. "Annika you will get hurt...let me help you."

"I have been doing everything alone for the last 25 years Mr. Oberoi....I dont need your help."

Annoyed Shivaay grabbed her arm and twisted it behind her back holding her tightly. "Enough is enough Annika! I dont want to hear Mr. Oberoi Mr. Oberoi....I am Shivaay your Shivaay.

"Mr. Oberoi...I need to go home..leave me."

"Say Shivaay."

"Mr. Oberoi."

"Shiv...aay." Shivaay brought Annika closer.

"Mr....Oberoi." Annika defiantly stared at shivaay unwilling to obey him.

"You are still as stubborn as you were years ago arent you?" Shivaay asked with defeat letting Annika go.

"You are the one who is stubborn and tadibaaz (full of attitude).....not me." She replied before walking downstairs to the front entrance with Shivaay following close behind. Annika reached for the door only to realize it was locked. "Why is the door locked?"

"What happened?" Shivaay asked. Ignoring him Annika continued to pull on the door and started to knock on it to get someone's attention.

"Hello? Pintu bhaiyyaji! Is someone there?"

"Who is Pintu bhaiyyaji?!" Shivaay asked.

"The watchman's name." Annika answered before going back to calling for help. "Hello! We are still inside! Pintu Bhaiyyaji open the door!"

"Annika why do you know the watchman's name?"

"Because I work here and he is the watchman here. Im not like you....who doesnt know the name of the people who works under him." Annika taunted and turned back to the door, "Is someone there! Open the door! Hello!"

"Maybe he left...is there another entrance?"

"No, there is only one entrance in the school for the safety of the kids. What will we do now!"

"Ok relax...relax. Ill just call someone." Shivaay reached in his pockets for his phone but couldnt find, "Where is my phone?"

"What do you mean?Your phone is always with you?"

"Yeah....I dont know where it went."

"Went? Did your phone grow legs that it will just go somewhere?Im sure you did all this on purpose right?"

"Annika what are you saying....why would I do this on purpose? And I was with you upstairs....then how did the door down here get locked?"

"I...you....you....I dont know!" Annika said, "I'll try calling someone."

She reached inside her bag but also didnt find her phone. "I cant find it."

"What? You too?" At that moment the lights suddenly turned off.

"Shivaay!" Annika screamed and hugged Shivaay tightly.

"Relax Annika, Im right here. Nothing happened. Everything is fine," Shivaay comforted Annika. "How did the lights turn off?"

"There is a timer. It turns off automatically."

"Ok...do you know how to turn on the lights?"

"No..."

"Acha...Ill see if there are any candles or something" Shivaay slowly made Annika let go of him. "Dont be scared Annika, Im right here. Okay?"

Shivaay held Annika and took her with him as he looked around in the dark. After awhile, Shivaay found a candle and matchbox on the front desk and he lit the candle. As the light illuminated Shivaay's face, Annika stared at him remembering all the times he comforted her in the dark.

"Yes! We got so much shopping done This was fun!" Sona exclaimed as the three girls entered Oberoi mansion each holding many shopping bags.

"Woah...Sona did you three buy the whole mall?" Jai walked upto the girls with Dev close behind.

"Very funny Jai...I didnt just shop for myself. There are things for you too." Sona glared at Jai.

"Acha baba...sorry." 

(What the three girls are wearing...ignore Alia's bangs)

"Hey....I did what you asked me to.Before Bade Papa left, I took his phone without him knowing." Dev whispered to Meera as Jai & Sona talked.

"Great...Sahil Mama also took Ma's phone. Now both of them have no phone & they will be stuck in there the whole night." Meera whispered back with a smile.

"Will this work?"

"I think so....Ma is scared of the dark and the lights there automatically turn off. So its perfect, when the lights turn off, Ma will get scared and Papa is there to comfort her. "
