Ranvi pushed open the door and barged in with full range. She came in front of her papa who was engrossed in his phone, scrolling through something, sitting on the bed.

Shivay saw her and smiled at her and gave his attention back to the phone. Ranvi just gritted her teeth and took long steps as much as she could, towards him. She stood infront of him.

"What happened princess?" He asked without looking at her, still being in the phone.

"I want to talk to you something important papa." She said in serious stone.

"Yes princess, go on." He said looking at the phone, still.

Suddenly Shivay felt his hands empty. He confusingly looked at his princess, whose hands were up in the air, with his phone. Even before he could digest the happenings, his phone was doing french kiss with the floor.

"WHAT THE FU........ I MEAN WHAT THE FISH......" Shivay screamed with widened eyes. He looked at his princess, who was standing there like a little lioness.

"Why Princess?" Shivay asked like a lion, infront of a lioness.

"WHEN I AM TALKING TO YOU, JUST LISTEN TO MEEE." Ranvi screamed, on the top of her voice, which was actually very low for others. Shivay looked at her in amusement for some seconds, before smiling, remembering his old days. How they both took eachother's phone and clashed it into the wall, floor or anywhere, they could, when the other didn't listen to them. Even both did the same with OmRu as well.

"Okay, my angry princess." Shivay sat on the bed and dragged his princess towards him. He lifted her up and made her sit on his lap.

"Tell me, what do you wanna say?" Shivay asked hugging her towards him, looking at her face.

"Tell me one thing papa...." Shivay raised his eyebrows.

"You are my papa, right?" Shivay nodded his head up and down, with a confused humming.

"Then why mumma is marrying Veer uncle and you are letting her do it?" Ranvi asked as her eyes become watery. Shivay opened his mouth to say something, but Ranvi continued.

"If he married mumma, then he will become my papa, i don't want him as my papa, i want you as my papa. Please papa do something. Stop this marriage, i don't wanna be his daughter. I am your daughter, i just wanna be your daughter , for my entire life papa, please do something." By now, she was crying loudly, with hiccups. She clutched into his shirt near his heart and rested her head on his chest.

"Shhhh.....princess......see, nothing will happen, i promise. I was your papa and only i will be your papa. You will be my daughter for my entire life, nobody else, never ever can take your place in my life." Shivay said hugging her more to him, one hand on her back and other on her head, caressing it smoothly, kissing her head time to time.

"Papa......" And thats it, both father-daughter cried hugging eachother, tightly. That one call held her entire emotions withing and that one call broke the wall around his emotions, letting it flow unconditionally.

After sometime, her cries died, now only hiccups were heard, time to time. Shivay looked down and saw his princess sleeping. Tears dried on her cheeks, with trembling lips, her hands still clutched into his shirt tightly. Shivay kissed on her forehead and wiped her cheeks, kissing there lovingly. He made her lie down on the bed and tucked the duvet on her. Shivay got up from the bed and heard a knock. He turned towards the door and saw Veer standing there.

"I want to talk to you Shivay. Please come to the pool side, i don't wanna disturb your princess's sleep. Shivay nodded his head and turned towards Ranvi again. He took her little hand in his and kissed on the back of her palm. Keeping her hand back on the bed, he wiped his own tears, which were dried on his cheeks and walked to the pool side.

"Yes Veer, what do you wanna talk?" Shivay asked to Veer, who was back facing him, entering the poolside.

"What was that all Shivay?" Veer asked still back facing him.

"What?" Shivay asked sounding confuse but he knew what was the topic.

"Don't act Shivay, you very well know about what i am talking." Veer asked finally turning and facing Shivay. Shivay sighed. Veer walked to him and stood just some inch apart. He took Shivay's right hand and held it infront of him. He held out his own right hand as well.

"What's this doing on your finger?" Veer asked showing the ring on his finger. Shivay looked everywhere but Veer.

"And, look at my hand man....is this what you chose for the engagement?" Veer asked pushing his hand just infront of Shivay.

"Now spill the beans or else I'll really marry Anika, and i am not gonna back off from my words." Veer raised his voice throwing Shivay's hand which were he holding.

"Okay..... Okay.... Calm down...." Shivay said keeping his hand on Veer's shoulder.

"Seriously Shivay? You want me to calm down?" Veer asked shaking his head in disbelieve.

"Tell me what happened and, i just wanna know that whom i got engaged in real." Veer asked rolling his eyes. Shivay chuckled but pressed his lips watching Veer's glare.

"Okay... I... I'll tell you. Just sit down, and you really should sit down, i can't carry you if you got fainted." Shivay said making Veer sit on the couch nearby. Veer gave him a demanding look.

Flashback

On the stage, as soon as the lights went off, Shivay told them to Begin the engagement. As both Anika and Veer were searching for the other one's hand, Shivay held out his own hand and kept it infront of Anika. As she was looking at Veer, she didn't noticed it when the spotlight slightly hit them, but Veer noticed it. He mentally smiled and as soon as Anika looked at him, he nodded his head in approval to slide the ring. Veer felt someone sliding the ring on his hand, but couldn't understand who was it.

Then, Anika held out her hand for Veer, and he knew that Shivay is gonna slide the ring for her. But he held out his hand as well. When Anika looked at him, he knew, Shivay already found her hand. Then he felt a finger slipping into the ring, he was holding.

Then the lights came back and as shivay's instruction they both showed their hand to the guests.

Flashback end

"Still i didn't got the answer Shivay?" Veer screamed in frustration and shock.

"Okay, just drink this, you need it actually." Veer looked at him in confusion. Shivay gave the water and said 'just drink' through his eyes. Veer drank a sip.

"Tell me for god sake man." Veer said.

"You really wanna know?" Veer nodded his head.

"No, jus....just...let it be...." Shivay said and turned to go. Veer held his hand.

"No i wanna know, just tell me." Veer said standing up. He left Shivay's hand and took a sip again.

"KHANNA." Andddddd our bagad billa was standing there all looking bheega billa. Veer's eyes popped out.

"K....ko... Kon?"

"Khanna, mera bhai, mera bodyguard, my manager." Shivay said confirming.

"Are you serious Shivay?" Veer asked and next moment he was lying on the couch laughing his heat out and in between he fake cried. Shivay also started to laugh along with him.

After a lot of attempt, both managed to stop their laugh. Both composed themselves.

"That means you knew about our plan?" Veer asked and Shivay nodded his head smiling

"How?"

"Tell your #to-be-fake-wife to discuss the plan little low." Veer's eyes widened in horror.

"You were there?" Shivay nodded his head.

"I had came to see Anika, and was climbing through the terrace, but i saw you both talking. But i knew it before only that it all was her plans." Shivay said chuckling.

"How?" Veer asked and Shivay let out a small laugh.

"Remeber you guys discussing the plan with my family?" Veer nodded his head.

"I had came back to take one of my file. Then i saw that nobody was at home. When i asked the servants they said everyone is in Rudy's room. And i saw Khanna walking there. I just followed him. And got to know everything." Veer's jaw dropped down.

"And, how did Khanna came into your team?" Veer asked again with the same shocked face.

"He saw me standing at the door of Rudy. He was about to make everyone aware but i made him shut his mouth. And i told him my plans and he told me your all plans time to time." Shivay said shrugging his houlder.

"Shivayyyy...... You are just impossible man. But i must say, none can love Anika like you." Veer said with a bright smile making Shivay blush.

"Dare you say anything to anyone. Don't let them know about my plan, or else....." Veer just joined his hand surrendering himself.

"I won't say anything, just one thing..." Shivay narrowed his eyebrows.

"Never ever leave Anika please." Veer said as his eyes softened.

"Never ever Veer, neither in this birth nor in the thousands of births we take. She is my life, my love." Shivay said smiling. Veer nodded his head smiling.

"You love her so much man...."

"So as you...." And at that point Veer's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Shivay who was smiling.

"Wh... What do you...mean?" Veer asked with a choking voice.

"I know everything Veer, and i really don't have a problem with it. I know your love is pure, from your heart. And i also know that your love is not for Anika, but for her face, you don't want Anika in your life, you just want her face in your life......" Veer kept mum, standing there with his teary eyes.
