She felt someone following her as she went towards kitchen to have some water. At first, she felt it was her misconception and kept walking. Then, she felt some one following her again. She looked behind to find noone. She was scared.

She picked up a glass and poured some water in it. But her hands started trembling and she started sweating when she saw a shadow behind her. She felt a touch on her shoulder and the glass fell down from her hand because of fear.

She was scared to turn around but her fear vanished as soon as Shivaay engulfed her in his embrace.

Shivaay : What happened Anika ? Why are you shivering ? An..And What are you doing here alone ? If you wanted something then you should've asked me.

Anika : I.. I was feeling thirsty b...But the jug was empty. I just came to have water. B..But ( She tightened her hold on him ) but I felt as if.. someone was following me.

Shivaay felt something wrong but he didn't want to show it to her.

Shivaay : It's nothing jaan. It must be some misconception. Come, you need rest.

Shivaay took her to their room and made her sleep. He immediately called khanna and asked him to check if everything was fine or not. After that he slept taking Anika in his arms.

Anika was sleeping till late in the morning whereas, other family members were busy in doing preparations for the special party. Shivaay had given strict instructions to everyone to make the best arrangements.

Anika woke up, rubbing her eyes as she was still unable to open them properly due to the daylight. But then she felt someone's lips on his forhead and she knew who he was. She opened her eyes and saw him staring at her, with his face extremely close to hers.

Shivaay : Get up. You have so many things awaiting you, Jaan.

He said and rubbed his nose with hers, making her smile. She woke up and went to freshen up and Shivaay went to bring her breakfast. Anika was about to step out of the room buy Shivaay came with the breakfast and didn't let her go out.

Even after breakfast Shivaay didn't let her go out and he himself went out. Gauri and Bhavya entered the room with few other girls making Anika totally confused.

Gauri : Bhabi, come on, today we are all ready to give you a total treatment.

Bhavya : Yes bhabi, let's make you ready as a queen.

Anika : But why ? Is there something s...

Gauri/ Bhavya : No questions please.

Gauri ( to the beauticians and hairstylist ) : Lets get to work girls.

They gave Anika a dress to wear. Then they made Anika sit infront of the mirror and started their own work, leaving Anika clueless.

Shivaay entered the room as soon as Gauri and Bhavya told him that Anika was ready. He entered the room but couldn't see Anika's face clearly as she was trying to wear her anklet but it wasn't getting hooked.

Anika was completely unaware of his presence until she found Shivaay's cold fingers touching her feet and making her wear the anklet. She tried to stop him from touching her feet but he didn't stop. Anika stoop up and Shivaay was standing just behind her. He was not able to take his eyes off her as she was looking beautiful beyond he could describe in words.

A skin coloured lehenga with a black, netted dupatta with a heavy embroidery made her look ethereal. The thing that irked him was her hair tired in a loose bun. He opened the bun while anika looked at him with wide eyes.

Shivaay : Keep your hair open, you look more beautiful with open hair.

Anika smiled at his compliment.

Anika : Shivaay what's going on ? No body told me anything.

Anika looked at him with pleading eyes but he just ignored it and kissed her cheek. He asked her to close her eyes and she did it, without questioning him.

She felt something tickling her wrist and then a soft kiss on her knuckles.

Shivaay : Open your eyes, Anika.

Anika directly looked at her wrist to find a beautiful bracelet with diamond studded small moons and stars. Her attention was more on their intertwined hands. The real beauty was in the way their fingers fit in each other perfectly.

Anika : What this is for ?

Shivaay : Anika I don't know when and how did this bracelet came in my pocket. But.. when my accident happened, the nurse told me that this was in my pocket, wrapped in a gift wrapper. That day I was confused but not now. That time i felt it was was something special bought for some one special and now I know it's you only. It's not as beautiful as you but still I want to give it to you.

Anika : It is beautiful, because you have given it to me.

Shivaay : let's go.

Anika knew it was useless to question him, so she took held his hand and went with him.

Party was organised in the garden area which was decorated the way Anika liked. All the media, influential politicians, business associates of Oberois, actors and cricketers were present there but No body knew the reason of such a grand party by the Oberois.

Shivaay brought Anika till the entrance of the garden where Bhavya and Gauri were waiting for them. Then Shivaay went away from there leaving Anika confused once again. The lights went off and Anika panicked.  But soon she relaxed as Gauri and Bhavya were there with her. Shivaay went to stage and a spot light came on him.

Shivaay : A very warm Welcome to all of you and thank you for being a part of these happy moments of our life.

A Reporter : Is there something special, Mr. Oberoi for which you've organised such a grand party.

Shivaay : Special is a short word. It's a really special day for only one reason, but that one reason is my everything.

Another reporter : You sound so happy as well as excited, Mr. Oberoi. What's the reason ?

Shivaay : Today, someone really special to me came to this world. That person is so special to me, to my family, that even one minute without HER seems impossible. She is, my wife MRS. ANIKA SHIVAAY SINGH OBEROI. Happy birthday, Meri Jaan.

This was a shock for all the guests and media to hear the name of Shivaay Singh Oberois wife. They looked in the direction where he was looking and the spot light came on Anika and rose petals started falling on her.

She was surprised but mostly she was overwhelmed. Shivaay went towards her in slow steps and stood infront of her, to find the happiness in her eyes because that would give him peace. But she had tears in her eyes that he hates the most. He embraced her and wiped them off.

The look in Shivaay's eyes was something the world never witnessed. This side of this strict businesses man was unknown to the world until this moment. Shivaay marched towards the stage with Anika's hand in his hand.

Reporter : Mr. Oberoi, how come she's your wife ? And if she is, then why did you introduce Miss. Ragini as your wife ?

Shivaay closed his eyes to control his anger which he felt on himself but Anika's tight hold on his hand gave him the strength he needed.

Shivaay : Mrs. Kamini Malhotra and her daughter Miss. Ragini Malhotra wanted to take revenge on the Oberois just because they thought they became bankrupt because of Oberoi industry's success. To collect proves against them I had to do that.

Another reporter ( to Anika ) : Mam, didn't you feel bad because of this action of Mr. Oberoi ?

Shivaay himself wanted to get an answer of this question. This question was bothering him since the time he got to know everything.

Anika : I knew he can never do something that would hurt me or anyone else. He seems to be a very rude and strict businessman, but he is not bad at heart. He was protecting his family and that is the first thing because of which, I LOVE HIM the most. So tell me, can you get angry on a person for the same reason for which you actually love him ?

The reporter smiled at the answer whereas Shivaay was over the moon. Anika turned towards Shivaay to find him looking at her with admiration and... love ? She didn't know that exactly.

Shivaay cupped her cheeks and placed a kiss on her forhead and then hugged her. Everyone smiled seeimg them and clapped as loudly as they could. The whole family smiled looking at them. Dadi looked extremely happy to see both of them together and happy whereas OmRi, SidIka and RuVya looked at them as their idols. They also wanted their love to be like them, full of trust and respect for each other.

Anika cut the cake and the party finished on a very happy note. But it wasn't the end of celebration for the family.

After all the guests left, Om, Rudra and Sidharth brought one cake, with Happy birthday Bhabi - From your dear brothers written on it whereas Gauri, Bhavya and Mallika brought a cake with Happy birthday, Bhabi, Our Role model written on the cake. Seeing the boys' cake the girls frowned, same was with the boys.

Shivaay ( To Anika in her ear ) : All the best, Jaan.

Anika : Why ?

Shivaay : you'll get to know.

Boys and girls brought their cakes infront of Anika.

Sidharth : Come on Bhabi, cut this cake first. We've especially made it for you.

Rudra : Especially me bhabi. These two were doing minor works, mostly I did everything.

Om : Yeah ! Putting two cherries as a topping is a biiggggggg work, isn't it ? Anyway ! Leave him bhabi. Let's cut the cake.

Gauri : Oh oh oh hello ! Bhaujayi will cut this cake first that we made for her.

Bhavya : Afterall this is her favourite cake.

Mallika : Bhabi, take the knife.

Om/Rudra/Sidharth : Oh hello !

Gauri/Bhavya/Mallika : Bye.

Their fight continued until Anika was fed up of continuous bickering of these six grown up kids. Anika looked at Shivaay with a pout, to melt him and ask him to help her. Shivaay gestured janvi and janvi brought another cake.

Janvi : Shutup, all of you. Anika will cut this cake first and then these two cakes. That's final.

OmRi, RuVya and SidIka made faces but at the end, they also wanted Anika to smile, so they were fine with it. After cutting the three cakes and feeding it to everyone. Rudra and Bhavya were about to put some cake on Anika's face but Mr. Possessive Singh Oberoi didn't let them do it.

Anika smiled at his possesiveness and a naughty idea striked her mind. She picked a piece of cake and smeared it on his cheeks and nose. He looked at her with wide eyes and she started laughing.

Shivaay : This is not fair. I saved you from them and you made me a victim.

Anika : Shoorrry.

Anika said in a very sweet voice and made a pout at the end which was enough to melt him.

Dadi : Ok now go to your rooms, it’s quite late. Billu, take Anika with you. She must be very tired.

Shivaay nodded and took Anika with him. He asked Anika to change her clothes first. After her, he himself went to change his clothes. When he came out of the washroom Anika was already sitting on the bed waiting for him.

When he sat beside her, she hugged him all of a sudden, making him surprised.

Anika : Thank you. I couldn't even imagine this day could end so well. I didn't even remember that it's my birthday but you...( realising something ) How did you know that it's my birthday today ?

Shivaay : Gauri reminded me. She told me that I had been planning A surprise for you even before my accident.

Anika : Thank you so much Shivaay, I can't even tell you in words how happy I am. I wish.. Ma was here to see my happiness. I wish she could see how happy I am with the person whom she chose for me.

Anika sobbed as she missed her mother in these happy moments of her life.

Shivaay : She is here only Anika. She must be seeing you and she must be very happy to see you so happy. So you should keep smiling ok.

Anika nodded and smiled as he kissed her forhead. After that they fell asleep in each other's arms.

A few days passed and the family along with Anika were busy in choosing clothes, toys and other things for the baby already. Shivaay was busy in trying to know who was behind the attacks on Anika. All he had as a hope was the man they caught that day. He was in coma because he tried to escape from khanna's clutches and jumped from the third floor of the hospital. And today he got his consciousness back.

Shivaay left towards hospital because now he himself wanted to investigate the matter. He didn't want to take any risks any more. He tried every possible way to get the truth out from that man, but he only said that HE will kill his wife and children if he said anything avout HIM. Shivaay was literally ready to kill him with his wrath but he fainted and khanna made Shivaay understand that they need him to be alive to know about the culprit. Shivaay calmed down a bit and left towards Oberoi mansion.

At Oberoi mansion, Dadi and janvi along with Anika and Gauri were gossiping about random things. Gauri went to kitchen to bring some fruits for Anika on Dadi's insistence. Just then Anika received a message from Bhavya to come to the backyard as it was something important. Anika told Dadi and janvi and left from there.

Shivaay entered the mansion and seeing Dadi and janvi sitting in the hall and Gauri coming out of the kitchen Shivaay asked about Anika.

Dadi : Bhavya called her to the backyard. What happe...

Dadi saw Rudra and Bhavya entering the house from the front door and she as well as janvi looked perplexed.

Janvi : Bhavya, You called Anika to the backyard but you are here. How and...

Bhavya : What ? No Mom, I didn't call bhabi. I was in the front lawn.

Even before others could think something, Shivaay ran towards backyard as fast as he could. Everyone else also rushed behind him. They didn't know what was awaiting them.

Her mind was only having one thought in her mind and that was ‘her baby'. Anika looked at the MAN infront of her who was a nightmare for her. Even before she could think of how HE was there, HE stabbed her in her stomach. The pain brought a fear with it, the fear of losing her unborn child. One after the another stab increased her fear.

Shivaay's heartbeat almost stopped when he saw her falling on her knees, with blood flowing out of her stomach. She fell on the ground with her teary eyes looking at him and her blood stained hand extended towards him, pleading to stop everything from going wrong.

Shivaay felt his legs numb, but he didn't know how he ran towards Anika and took her head in his lap. His voice choked as his tears spilled out one after the other. Janvi caught hold of her mother in law who almost lost her balance after seeing her daughter in law's condition. Gauri and Bhavya ran towards Anika. Their tears were ready to come out but they knew it wasn't time to cry, they had to be strong for their Bade Bhaiya and Bhabi. Rudra saw the man who tried to escape but was caught by Khanna on time and the security took him with them.

It wasn't the time to think about this man. His Bhabi and their little champ were in danger and he had to act strong and to save them. He rushed towards Shivaay and asked him to take Anika to hospital. Bhavya brought clean towels, to stop blood from flowing as much as they could. They took Anika by car, not wating for the ambulance.

Shivaay couldn't speak anything other than trying to keep Anika awake. He kept kissing Anika's hair. He wanted some one to come and wake him up from this nightmare. Anika kept pleading him to save their baby.

Six hours of the operation were worst then hell. What kept them intact was the hope, that some miracle would happen.

The doctor's words left them wondering what they were suppose to do ? To cry, or to be happy.

Doctor : She had severe wounds in her stomach. We couldn't save the baby. Mrs. Oberoi is fine, but her wounds are too deep. To add to that, this trauma of loosing the baby would not be small. It's not at all easy to grasp in this news. You all have to be extremely careful while dealing with her. It may be dangerous for her.

Shivaay didn't feel so helpless in his whole life. His mind kept reminding him of the moments spent with her in these few days. How she used to talk about their baby and how she would give every happiness to their child. What would he answer her, that they lost their little life ? That he failed to protect her and his child ? He felt like a failure. His head spun and darkness engulfed him.

Their first meeting, the crying girl whom he wanted to console, the girl he married and the girl who stood beside him always, the girl who made him realise that he is in love, deeply and madly, the girl whom he forgot but his heart never stopped beating for her, the girl who was going to be the mother of his child. He saw every single thing roaming in his mind like a hurricane. The memory of her crying in pain and pleading to save her baby came rushing to him and then, he found himself waking up and shouting her name.

He saw Om and Rudra looking at him with worry clear on their faces and found himself on the hospital bed. But he cared the least about himself at the moment. All he cared at the moment was, his Anika.
