When Anika got down from the car, the entire place was engulfed in darkness. The only lights existing there was the headlights of the car she was travelling in. The cold breeze that just softly brushed against her bare skin sent some chilly sensations to her bone. There were faint sounds of the ocean; the serene sound of the waves rushing to the sands. The air smelled fresh with a tiny bit of saltiness in it. She knew it then that she was by the beach but why was it so dark and where was Shivaay were the only thing running in her mind. Her mind began to run wild. What if Veer had outsmarted them and had Shivaay and her trapped here? What if this was a trap to lure her here by Veer? What if the driver was bought by Veer? 

Thousands of such possibilities were beginning to pop up in her head one by one and to add to her worries, the driver drove away with the car. Anika stood numb. She couldn't comprehend what was going on with her. All she knew that she needs her Shivaay now. Her fear towards darkness was growing every second. She immediately grabbed the moons from her charm bracelet. She felt as if her long gown was suddenly beginning to tighten around her petite body causing her to feel suffocated. She took tiny steps backwards until her back crashed upon someone. She lost her balance due to the heels she was wearing and fell further but one familiar firm arms grabbed her by her waist as she was about to hit the sand beneath.

As soon as the strong arms grabbed her to prevent her from falling, a dozens of fireworks were setting the sky above them ablaze. As it explodes, the sparks illuminated the dark surrounding. Her gaze fell upon her favourite 'Khanji-Aankhon' (blue-green eyes); her Shivaay's eyes. She couldn't help but to immediately throw an ear-to-ear smile to him. 

'Hey!', he greeted her ever lovingly.

'Shivaay...', was the only word that she could utter.

He lifted her upper body and made her stand on her feet. 

'Tum theek ho? (Are you okay?)', he asked her with full concern and care.

'Haan, main theek hun! Hum yahan kya kar rahi hai? Aapka woh party yahin hai kya? (Yes,I'm fine. What are we doing here and where's the party of yours?)', she asked curiously.

As Anika was busy querying her husband, he on the other hand was checking her out. If he said he wasn't smitten  by her looks, even a blind man could have caught him lying. She looked nothing less than an angel in the red, long off-shoulder princess dress, paired perfectly with the diamond set he had gifted her and her personal charm, her chand bracelet added the Anika touch to her looks. But, his favourite part about her entire look was the vermilion of his name which filled her hair partition and the star nuptial chain. It reminded him that she was his and also that he belonged to her.

'Khidkithod khoobsurat lagrahi ho!', Shivaay complimented her even before she could ask, still being awestruck by her beauty.

Anika looked at him as if he was an alien which alarmed Shivaay. His all grinning face went into a the one with a questioning look. She always blushed whenever he said that to her. He wondered what was wrong with her today. He wondered where had her blush gone not realizing what he had did earlier.

'Aap theek tho haina? Kahin yeh saari problems main aapka screw thoda lose hogaya? (You are fine right? Or is it that in between all these mess, your screw has gone lose?) ', she questioned him.

'Of course I'm fine! Mujhe kya hoga? (What will happen to me?)', he retaliated.

'Hmm... abhi thodi ther pehele, maine aapse kya poocha aur apne kya jawab diya mujhe? (hmm... what did I ask you a few moments ago and what was your reply to me?)', she questioned him further.

'Kya poocha tune? (What did you ask?) Were you even saying something?', he asked innocently as of course he didn't hear her out as he was completely lost in her.

'Waah! Ab yeh dhin bhi aagaya jahan meri pati ko meri baatein sun nahi deta! Aur abhi shaadi hote hue 2 saal bhi nahi hue hai! Aur apne... (Wow! So it has come to this day where my husband couldn't hear me out. And we are not even married for 2 years! And you... )', her words died right there as Shivaay pulled her closer to him by her wrist. This action of his made her entire body jerk for a second as a strange sensation ran down her spine. He brought her closer to himself and rubbed his stubble against her cheeks as he whispered into her ears.

'Kya karoon? Meri biwi itna khoobsurat jo lagrahi hai that I couldn't take my eyes off you! (What am I supposed to do? My wife is looking that beautiful that I couldn't take my eyes off you!)', he confessed honestly making her turn as red as her dress.

He smiled to himself upon the return of his blushing queen. He reminisced how he had caught her blushing the first time and she didn't even know what it was.

'Koi blush.. (Someone is blushing...)', before he could complete his tease, she interrupted him.

'Aap bhi tho.. looking hot! (You're also... looking hot!)', she commented very boldly making him go red this time. 

After all, this is the first ever time she has complimented him so openly and honestly. He was indeed looking very much hot in the red suit which matched her dress and his accessories to glam up the looks into a royal one fitted perfectly. She always had admired the way he dressed up. He had his own way and style of carrying the cliched three piece suit. No one could match up to the suaveness he carry in that clothing.

Shivaay and Anika took a while to get them out of the blushing zone they've landed into. As soon as they were out of it, Shivaay clapped his hand twice, and a trail of lights lighten up one by one, row by row, next to an elegant red carpet and finally a pretty tent was revealed at the end of the trail, just by the sea shore. Anika gasped at the most beautiful and scenic setting in front of her. 

'Yeh sab... (all of this?)', she began to ask. 

'Happy Valentine's Day Anika!', he wished her as he showed the beautiful handwriting of his with a huge heart carved on the sand. 

Tears filled Anika's eyes as she saw the effort her husband had took for her. He always without fail could make her feel special. He always without fail, made her feel as if she's the number one in his life. All of these sweet gestures from him was making her feel simply out of this world.

'Happy Valentine's Day Shivaay!', she wished him back as she crushed him in a tight hug.

Shivaay tighten the hug further and asked her, 'Did you like it?'.

'Bohath! Thank you Shivaay!', she told him. 

'Alright! Let's go get something to eat. I didn't set the table up so that we can stand and admire it from far like this!', he said as he took her arms in his and they walked to the table.

Shivaay had prepared all her favourite food by himself. There was her favourite Aloo Poori, Pav Bhaaji in chowpati style, raita and gajar ka halwa. Before they could begin with their dinner, Shivaay had asked Anika to forget all the recent happenings in their life for the whole night. He revealed to her that he didn't just do this to make their Valentine's special, but also to make things light between them. It had been really hard for them the past few months and of course he wasn't sure when things would go back to being normal again, hence this Valentine get away was just to ensure that Anika isn't too stressed out. In addition to this, the game is in his hands now. Veer is lying crippled in Oberoi Mansion and there's a CCTV camera fixed in his room. So, there was no getting away for Veer.

Their dinner talk went on really random topics. Anika kept on talking about their journey, from what they were to what they've become to Shivaay's surprise. She had specifically mentioned all the parts which Shivaay had told her in the video from her point of view. She was doing that in a hope to hear what she heard in the video from the person himself but too bad, her bhagad billa wasn't bulging. He kept on the mask. Although it angered her a little, but she knew that he isn't the kind of person who will be able to use words to convey his feelings. His actions had always spoke louder than his words. After the dinner and a trip down their Shivika memory lane, Shivaay decided to change the way the topic was heading from the past to the future.

'Waise Anika, tumne mujhe kabhi bataya nahi ki tume kitni babies chahiye. (By the way Anika, you've never told me how many kids you would want)', Shivaay questioned his wife.

Anika who was about to drink some water got nervous upon listening to Shivaay's question or statement and accidentally poured the water upon herself. Shivaay was stunned at her reaction. He never knew that she would be this 'chui mui' in her language in that matter. He handed over the tissues there for her so that she could wipe the water off.

'Errmm... Shivaay, mujhe lagta hai ki hume ghar jaana chahiye! (Errmm.. Shivaay, I think we should be going back home!)', Anika snapped out.

'Abhi ghar jaana hai tume? ( You want to go home now?)', he asked her in a shocked tone.

'Haan... late horah hai! (Yeah... It's getting late!)', Anika said ever innocently. Her husband had given his part of the surprise, it was her turn now. 

'But, mera ek aur surprise bhi hai tumhare liye! (But, I have planned another surprise for you!)', he informed her. 

Anika's lighten up face fell right away. She was excited for his surprise but her surprise for him was also waiting at home. She was in a fix. Turning him down would be the last thing she wanted to do. At last, she decided to give in and receive his surprise for her first before throwing her surprise to him.

Shivaay smiled gleefully when she agreed to come along for the next surprise. Shivaay had her eyes closed with a blindfold and scooped her in his arms.

'Yeh aap kya kar raha h? Main kuth chalsakti hun Shivaay. (What are you doing? I can walk by myself, Shivaay)', she reminded him.

'That's okay, I can't take the chance of you getting hurt. Aankh kholi rehene ki bawajuth bhi tum ghir sakti ho, toh jab aankh banth ho tho kya pharosa? (You can fell even when your eyes are open, so not taking the chance with your eyes closed like this)', he stated the fact.

She just resented to her husband's statement as it was true in a way. She could never manage a couple of steps without skidding in front of him. Strangely it happens only in front of him. Maybe her body had deactivated her proper walking skills whenever he's around. He brought her some distance before finally letting her feet tough the ground. Anika had wanted to remove the blindfold right away but Shivaay stopped her and slowly back-hugged her. He locked his hands on her tummy and rested his head by the crook of her neck.

'I've always wanted to do this with you Anika. I really hope you'll like it!', he whispered into her ears. 

Anika smiled at his revelation and turned around to engulf him in a hug. She said nothing. She just stayed in the hug. She couldn't comprehend her feelings at that time. She felt grateful that her husband is actually doing something for himself as well. Otherwise, Shivaay always did things for others selflessly without any complaints nor hard feelings. She was more than glad that she decided to stay-back for his surprise. She also wondered if he had any other wishes. She knows that he was one the person who dedicated his entire life living for everyone else. Pinky always reprimanded this quality about him but that's what made her Shivaay as The GREAT WALL OF SHIVAAY SINGH OBEROI and she promised herself then and there that no matter what, she will always be the wall for him. 

'You want to remain in this hug forever  or will you break away so that I  can show you what it is?', Shivaay asked her.

Anika broke the hug and said sorry continously with a giggle and asked for her surprise from Shivaay. Shivaay opened her blindfold slowly, making her face the surprise he had planned for her. Anika's jaw dropped when she saw the huge, luxurious yacht docked in front of her. She had seen a couple of this thing in the Bollywood movies she had watched but seeing it for real shook her up.

(So yeah, your author was actually wondering about the yacht in which ShivOmRu made their grand entry and how it was never shown after that. So this is the result of it! Hahaha! Bear with this crazy me!)

'Shivaay yeh boat... (Shivaay this boat...)', Anika was about to ask him when he cut in.

Shivaay was enjoying the surprised look on her face but as soon as she opened her mouth, it annoyed him. From which angle does his yacht looked like a boat that she's addressing it boat? He always has had trouble accepting her dictionary. 

'Anika... This is not a boat... its called a yacht, okay?', he corrected her as usual being slightly agitated.

'Yo.. Yo..Yolk?', she tried repeating his words but failed miserably.

'Yolk nahi yacht! Come on you can say it. Just try a bit. Khoshish se sab hojayega!', he motivated her.

'Mujhe yeh yolk.. yacht.. kuch nahi pata. Yeh boat hai. Aur boat hi rahega! (I dont know all those. For me, this is a boat and it will remain a boat!)', she gave up after trying a couple of times.

'Just like how chopper is helicopter for you right?', Shivaay kind off taunted her a bit.

'Haan! (YES!)', she replied right away.

They looked at each other with a stern look before breaking into a hearty laughter. After coming out of the laughter zone, Shivaay brought Anika into the yacht holding her close to him by her arms. Anika was completely mind-blown as he showed her around the yacht. It was nothing less than a luxurious apartment. There was a full equipped kitchen, a huge hall with TV, a swimming pool, a rooftop, a couple bedroom indoors and a beautiful bed right next to the pool. 

'Shivaay... yeh boat tho sachme khidkithod nikhli! (Shivaay, this boat turns out to be total mind-blowing piece!)', she squealed in excitement. 

Shivaay was happy to hear her comment but the word boat had turned him off. He then remembered one of their marital vows; he'll listen and be prepared for whatever her dictionary has in store for him. Hence, he didn't correct her and just went with the flow.

'I'm glad that you liked it so much! This yacht is very special to me. It has some priceless moments of OmRu and me. Lots of O'Bro moments! Those moments were just so priceless!', Shivaay revealed to her being slightly teary eyed.

'There will be more in the future!', she assured him.

Shivaay just nodded and wiped the silent tears from his eyes. They were glad to back in Oberoi Mansion but things weren't like before and deep down she knew that her Bhagad Billa missed those moments with his brothers. Before Shivaay could turn their Valentine's Day celebration into Bhai Dhoj, Anika's chantomind came up with an idea. Since they were standing by the poolside, Anika pushed him into the pool. And as usual, with just a single push, he fell into the water creating a huge splash due to his inertia.

'Fhat the wuck?', he exclaimed loudly as soon as he resurfaced and composed himself.

Anika on the other hand began laughing out loud upon the condition he was in while he was fuming at the way how he always become the prey to her and water. If Shivaay had symbolized himself as the Sun, then Anika could be symbolized as the sea. Fire and water. Just the right element to balance each other and give takkar to the other.

As Anika was laughing her heart out, her feet slipped and she also fell into the same pool. Shivaay helped her to stand up as soon as she fell. He took a proper look at her to be sure that she wasn't hurt anywhere while scolding her for being so careless.

'Shivaay... main theek hun! Aap relax hojaye! (Shivaay.. I'm fine! Please relax!)', she told him.

Shivaay just nodded and was about to leave the pool with her when Anika held him back. He looked at her surprised. 

'Kya hua Anika? (What happened Anika?)', he asked curiously.

'Saansein rukh rahi hai meri! (My breath is stopping)', she barely whispered.

Shivaay's blue-green orbs turned dark immediately after hearing that sentence from her. That very sentence of hers pushed him back to the time they were reconciled by Om and Gauri after Prinku's marriage drama. He reminisced his first attempt to bring their relationship to the next level and how she ran away from their room being embarrassed by her own husband. Everything flashed through his mind and a mischievous smirk formed on his lips as he pulled her closer to him by her waist, just like the other day. He reduced the distance between them, pulling her closer to him, only if it was possible. He leaned his head down a little as he brushed his stubble against her cheeks.

'Saansein rukh rahi hai?', he whispered into her ears mischievously.

Anika just nodded blushing.

Shivaay removed his hand from her waist and placed her hair to one side. He buried his face in the crook of her neck which was completely exposed to him and placed a lingering kiss there. Anika's clutches on his shirt tighten right then. Love and desire was taking over full control of them. Shivaay then broke away and leaned down to her lips. He stopped at a proximate enough distance to ensure that he's gotten her permission. She just smiled as he stopped at that distance which was creating thousands of explosions in her head. Just before she could interpret the explosions in her head, his lips touched hers and the explosions turned into beautiful fireworks. Her clutch on his shirt tighten for a few seconds before they were set lose into his hair pulling him closer to her. His hands were pulling her closer by her waist as every second passed by. It was one magical kiss of true love!

They broke away from the kiss as both were short of breath and joined their foreheads together. Shivaay's hand raised to caress her cheeks almost right away as he opened his eyes to steal a glance at his blushing queen. The effects of the kiss was still lingering in her when he pulled her in for another soft and passionate kiss. No matter how many kisses they've had together, each time was a magical one. Each of it induced a dozens of hormones and set them to fire. They can never get enough of each other. That was Shivika's magic. Even we can never get enough of them.

The camera panned away from both the kissing souls to show the whole yacht and finally towards the night sky where millions of stars twinkled and illuminated the sea celebrating the joy of the two souls uniting once again, surpassing all their barriers, creating memories which was going to fill their heart till the end of time, for eternity!
