TheHerbsandSpiceKingdom - all the best Rudy boi. 👍

OmOberoi - proud of you for bagging this despite our parent's opposition. 🧡

Username - uff I never knew that Oberoi's are this highly talented. The elder one is on the completely indifferent path, cookery. The second one is an excellent sculpture artist. Now the third is an emerging actor. Great. 👍. I appreciate their parents for shaping them. #NoNepotism #StarkidsLearnfromthem.

Nikita579 - Yea true man. Despite being from a well do family they are stepping slowly on their own. I'm happy for them.

Jaiswaldv - 😑 We don't know if it was because of their surname or their hard work. So stop praising them.

Sanjaytalok - I doubt who will take up as successor to Tej sir? 🤔

Mishnah680 - Congratulations 😍 #babyOberoi

Jacksonvilleskp - At least will he compile his education or be a dropout like someone Bhatt? I doubt that 😏

Username2 - 💋💋

DeepakChopra - ^^^ I heard from my cousin (he studies in the same college as her) that his daughter-in-law that is Shivaay Oberoi's rumoured wife is getting trained for the same. #BreakingStereotype.

Meenakshiahuha - the biggest aficionado of the Oberoi family. 💋 I stan.

"How is your health? Mallika is everything okay?" Annika begged again for the nth time to her newfound best friend.

As expected the answers were limited and to the point. Annika smiled a bit and averted her eyes to the Mallika's growing tummy, where a little soul was cropping to a flesh and blood form.

"I fucking hate that specific Rana, Annie." Mallika angrily muttered and swallowed greedily the lemon juice and sighed after her greed for liquid.

"You should solve this sooner or-" Annika pointed at her swelling midsection, which was been hidden under her oversized shirt. "-people will get a chance to taunt you. You should talk to your parents."

"I did talk." Mallika exhaled loud and clear. "But they don't know who the father is. I mean imagine if Abbu gets an idea of Siddharth being a father to his grandchild. And mainly he has a decade long enmity with Sid's father. It's a disaster." She explained it in the simplest way possible.

Nodding understanding at her Annika thought of a few seconds. If they knew their family had long plenty of hostility towards each other then why the approach to pursuing courting.

"By the way, how did Shivi survive with you guys?" With a smug smile sloping towards the end Annika asked. Listening to her Mallika narrowed her eyes and tried scowling at her. Well at least tried to do so. "What do you mean? Do you think we are vultures devouring him?"

"Aree Nahi. What I meant is Shivi is calm, decent, good boy and aloof to be added to the long list. Then how did he join you both, badass also hot people?" Mallika laughed heeding her well-twisted question which was proofed by her diplomatic manners.

[Trans - hey no.]

"He was too good for our good. I, Sid and he studied at the same school where we teased him to be a nerdy worm. As people say everything has a limit and when it was crossed we saw a violent side of Shivaay. He punched Sid black and blue then I initiated friendship. From then we are inseparable. He was the first to get to know of our courting, our baby. He can be extremist."

Annika was at Mallika's residency asking about her health and well-being. Today morning her husband had dropped her at Sheikh Villa owing to the ongoing online things. In just a few days Annika began hating the paparazzi who were always near Oberoi Mansion decked up as factory workers or regular people passing by.

It was already evening. Both didn't realise time passing as quickly as they expected. Annika had never thought of being a friend with any however with Mallika she was at ease sharing her views, and her struggles with family. She was glad that she didn't judge her, unlike others. Frowning at the thoughts Annika returned to the present seeing Mallika's mother Haniya Sheikh.

"Namaste!" Annika stood up and greet the woman, who looked similar to Mallika's appearance but with slight alterations of reddish-brown hairs.

"Ji Namaste." Haniya smiled seeing the warm nature vibing from her.

"Ammi this is Annika Gaikwad my best friend." Mallika came forward introducing Annika to her mother.

[Trans - mother.]

"Nice meeting you Annika beta." Turning towards Mallika she spoke. "As far as I remember it was Shivaay and that Rana's son as your friends. When did you meet Annika?"

"It's a long story aunty, for another time," Annika mumbled being awkward around the mother-daughter duo.

"We were talking about the recent launch of web series ammi. Would you like to join?" Mallika offered a seat beside her and passed on the cookie tray in her direction.

"Kon sa series?"

[Trans - Which series?]

"Rudra ka Never Settle. He is being casted as the second lead of the series." Mallika explained sliding the iPod to her mother.

[Trans - Rudra's]

"The boys of the Oberoi family are such good boys. Specifically, Shivaay." Annika blushed hearing the praises meant for her husband. After all, he was hers.

"Hello, guys." All swirled their heads towards the entrance when heard and we were surprised to see Shivaay standing over with a few boxes of sweets.

"Such a coincidence. I was speaking of you and your presence added to this day. What makes you come here?" Haniya chirped happily giving a bear hug to him. He wasn't less than a son to them after visiting their Villa for years as Mallika's best friend.

"Uhm. I came for Mallika." Shivaay glanced at his wife who was peeking through her lashes with reddened cheeks and then Mallika who smiled brightly looked at them. "I believe pregnancy must be hard and also she might be craving something. So I thought of bringing some Shrikhand."

[Trans - Shrikhand is a traditional sweet of the Indian subcontinent made from strained yoghurt.]

Both Annika and Mallika knew it was some type of excuse for him to meet his wife, who was with Mallika for hours. Rolling her eyes Mallika thought of teasing them.

"Ohh I see. It's it for me? Did you come for me?" Annika suppressed her growing laughter watching him shuffle his weight from one foot to another. "I never knew Shivi had this urgency to meet-" she stopped mid watching the couple go red.

Haniya was the happiest of all watching her daughter interact with Shivaay. Shivaay had grown with her daughter and so she was present during all his important stages of life. She was happy that her daughter had chosen someone decently. Shivaay was the best. And watching him blush the slightest bit Mallika said it confirmed to her that Shivaay and Mallika are together and they were hiding this fact.

"I will go get some more cookies." Excusing herself Haniya dashed into the kitchen to grab her phone and inform her husband.

"My surprise? Great Oberoi has the benevolence of giving his presence in excuse of my pregnancy. Tremendous!" Mallika whirled to look at the couple, by now they were almost clinging to each other whispering some dirty things.

"I missed you," Shivaay mumbled pressing his lips on his wife's hairline. "Me too." She answered back with a sly smile.

"It's been simply four hours." Mallika sarcastically chuckled.

"Kids let's have lunch. The food is prepared." Haniya called out loud after speaking to her husband who insisted her make them stay till he arrives.

New confusion.
