💢knock knock 💢

Ranvi ran to the door and opened it. She saw the person and jumped on him hugging his legs tightly. He got shocked for a second due the sudden tug on his leg. He looked down and smiled. He kneed down infront of her.

"How are you princess?" He asked softly, cupping her face with love and atmost care.

"I am toh Khidkithod,how are you papa?" She replied grinning widely.

"I am too much Khidkithod." Shivay replied and rubbed his nose with her making her giggle.

Shivay stood up and picked her up walking inside the house.

"Where is your mumma?" Shivay whispered to Ranvi.

"Kitchen." Ranvi replied in the same tone. Shivay nodded his head, pressing his lips together, raising his eyebrows with wide eyes.

"Baaki sab?" Shivay asked loking around.

"Bhavu and Gauri Maasi are in their room. Veer uncle is gone out for some work." Ranvi replied being busy in finding the total pockets of his coat and shirt.

"Okay.... Go and call everyone immediately here." Shivay said dropping Ranvi on the sofa. She nodded her head and ran to upstairs.

"Princess, slow down." Shivay said but Ranvi just ran out of his sight swiftly.

Suddenly Shivay smirked mischievously. He ran his eyes from the living room to the kitchen. Some music were coming from the kitchen. He walked to the there and stood at the entry leaning his left shoulder to the wall crossing his hands on his chest with a wide smirk.

There stood Anika swaying her body along with the music. She was wearing a sari, with the end tucked on her waist side, her waist visible quite clearly and messy bun on her head.

Shivay's heart skip a beat, his eyes were stuck on her face. Some hair strands were disturbing her. She was making dough and her both hands were filled with atta. Anika was trying her best to keep the strands away from her face but in vein.

Shivay slowly waked to her and stood just behind her without her notice as she was deeply engrossed in the song and the dough making session. He blow air on her back neck. Anika's eyes widened and she stopped making dough.

"Shivay...." Anika whispered making him smile from heart.

"Hello hone wali dulhan." He came to her sight and Anika blinked her eyes for few times.

"Yo... You did that actually?" Anika asked with shocked expression.

"What did i do?" Shivay asked innocently raising his eyebrows.

"Nothing...." She focussed back on her job.

"Why did you come here suddenly?" Anika asked being busy in her job.

"I came to meet my princess, choco and doll." Shivay said moving towards the fridge. He opened it and took out a bottle and came back to his previous place beside Anika, leaning on the kitchen slab.

"Then you should meet them. Why are you standing here?" Anika rolled her eyes looking into his direction.

"Water....?" Shivay raised the bottle and Anika nodded her head and looked back at the atta. He drank the water and kept the bottle on the slab.

Shivay straightened him self and moved a little near to her.

"Bye..." Shivay whispered leaning to her ear. He brought his hand to her waist and rubbed his hand on her waist sensuously. Anika looked up at him with a startle. Both shared an eyelock. Shivay brought his hand to the sari end which was tugged on her waist and released it from there without breaking the eyelock. He again rubbed his hand on her stomach and suddenly pinched there making Anika gasped. Shivay winked at her with a mischief smile and walked out of the kitchen. Anika was all red by now.

When Shivay reached the living room, there Ranvi was already waiting for him with Gauri and Bhavya. Both came to him and hugged.

"Princess, go and call your mumma also." Shivay said sitting on the sofa, along with RiVya.

"Aap wahi toh the, why didn't you call her?" Ranvi asked keeping her both hands on her hip glaring cutely at Shivay. He looked here and there, when he noticed that Gauri was looking at him suspiciously.

"Go beta please..." Shivay said making puppy face. Ranvi ran to the kitchen.

After some second, Ranvi came with Anika. She sat on the chair near the sofa. Ranvi came and sat on Shivay's lap. He securely held his princess to him and kissed her cheek.

"When will Veer come?" Shivay asked. Gauri opened her mouth to reply

"I am here Shivay, what happened?" All shift their eyes to the entrance. Veer came in and sat on the sofa beside gauri.

"I have a surprise for you both." Shivay said looking towards Anika and Veer respectively.

"What surprise?" Veer raised his eyebrows.

"3 days later is your marriage day. And i got to know that Anika's vidayi is gonna happen from Oberoi Mansion. I want to arrange your marriage myself." Shivay said making all of them gasp in shock. Veer and Anika looked at eachother.

Veer tried to say something but got interrupted by Shivay.

"No offence, i have decided. Your engagement dress will be here by evening. Tomorrow is your engagement. Next day mehendi. And after that, next morning is your haldi and at evening Shaadi." Shivay finished in one breath. He glanced at Anika. She looked at his eyes, both sharing an eyelock for some second. Suddenly Anika got up and ran to her room. Shivay was about to get up and run behind her but he stopped himself after watching Veer tunning behind her. Shivay closed his eyes and took a deep breath controlling himself.

****************

"Anika...." Veer stepped into the room and saw her standing at the balcony. He moved towards her.

"Anika...." Veer kept her hand on her shoulder. Suddenly Anika turned and hugged him and the emotion that she was holding a few moments before burst out as loud cry.

"Why Veer? I know i have done mistake, but i love him and he know that.... Then why is he doing it? Why? Why he wanna see me getting married to another man? Doesn't i mean nothing to him? Wese toh bahut baby baby bulakar peeche ghuma karta tha, ek second keliye bhi muje kisi or ke saath nahi dekh sakta tha, or...or aaj...aaj wahi meri....." And she started to cry loud clutching into Veer's shirt.

"Shhhh.... It's okay... Calm down... I am sure, he won't let you go away from him. Or agar woh apne aap pyaar ka ishaar nhi kiya toh mei karwaunga usse." Veer tried to console her. She stopped crying and got out from the hug.

"Pinky promise?" She brought her little finger to him.

"Pinky promise." He locked his little finger with her. Anika smiled ear to ear and hugged him again. Veer reciprocated the hug with a smile.

**************
Next day

Oberoi mansion was decorated like a bride and guests were flowing in like ocean.

Anika was on the stage sitting with Veer and was examining Shivay who was talking to guests happily. The Oberois and Trivedis were faking smile to the guests as their own plan was backfiring on them.

"Ladies and gentlemen,

Welcome to this grand engagement of my.... I mean Anika and Veer Singhaniya. Give a huge round of applause." Shivay was standing on the stage with mike, smiling ear to ear. Everyone clapped hooting.

"So lets start the ceremony then?" Everyone agreed.

"But....." Everyone looked at him confused.

"Not so easily Mr. Veer Singhaniya. You have to find your partner by yourself." Shivay announced making everyone confused.

"Sheena...." Shivay called out a staff and she came to him. He indicated something with his eyes. She smiled and walked off from there. Everyone were confused.

Suddenly the current got off. Everyone were whispering to themselves.

Anika was feeling uneasy. She started to panick. Suddenly a hand got wrapped on her waist taking her into a side hug. She relaxed herself on the touch.

"OmRu.." Shivay called out and both of them reached on the stage. He gave Anika's hand to Om.

"Take care." He whispered and moved infront.

"So, Mr. Veer, you have to make your partner wear the ring, without seeing her, just by touching her hand."

Shivay brought two rings and gave to both and stand behind them clapping. Hearing his clapping everyone rest also clapped.

"Go on Veer and Anika... All the best." Shivay whispered to them.

Anika and Veer stretched their hands to hold the other's hand. Both looked at eachother getting the hands. There was very dim light they could barely see anything. Anika took a deep breath closing her eyes. Opening her eyes she slided the ring to his hand. Feeling the ring slipping into his finger, Veer looked at Anika. She blinked her eyes. He nodded his head and clutched her hand and slided the ring into her hand.

Suddenly the lights got on.

"Show your fingers to the audience guys, let them know that you both got engaged." Shivay said hooting and clapping. Anika and Veer looked at Shivay. He smiled at both and said to show the ring, through his eyes. Both showed their hand and the guests saw the respective rings.

All clapped hooting.
