Three days later :

"Shivaay! No!" Her twittering echoed in the mansion as she ran from her husband. 

"Oh I ain't sparing you today, darling!" He shouted running behind her. "You told mom that I was scared of a cockroach. Like seriously? She anyways keeps making fun of me now she will tell the world. "

"Serves you right! Who asked you to do that when I am talking over the phone. " she said running around the pool. Shivaay was practically seducing her while she was having a nice conversation with his mother. To give him back for it, she made up a story and told his mother how she had saved a scared Shivaay from a tiny cockroach. Pinky was laughing while Shivaay was gaping at her. Once she had ended the call she quickly was leaving his side when he began chasing her.

"What was I doing? Nothing. But you spun a tale and told it to mom. Biw that's not fair."

"Look whose speaking of being fair?" She said laughing at him.

"Very funny know." He ran and she entered the room trying to escape him. She was slow, or perhaps he was faster. He caught her and his strong arm wrapped around her stomach pulling her close to his chest. "Caught you!"

She was laughing. He began tickling her. He knew all her soft spots. 

"Shivaay stop!" She yelled in ecstasy her laugh not stopping.

Her laughter was infectious. He was laughing as well. "Serves you well!" He said pulling her closer while continuing to tickle her.

"Okay enough!" She said breathless. "Pleaseeeee..stooppppp!" She said holding her stomach.

He stopped resting his head on her shoulder. She took her hand all the way to his head, leaning back. She loved this. His presence. Their laughter. Their euphoria. Their togetherness. Both stood still feeling each other's presence. Just one word could define the moment-Bliss.

"Give me two minutes I will change." She said turning to him and kissing his forehead. They had both planned to go for a long drive over dinner. The weather was perfect and so was the mood. Shivaay had been very happy when his sister and brother in law had announced their second baby. He had promised he would attend her baby shower. Last time he hadn't, because of being upset on her. The couple was missed by both Shivaay and Anika.But they both missed Raunak the most. The house had fell so silent owing yo the little boy's absence.

Anika stood frowning before her open cupboard. "Shivaay what should I wear?"

He came behind her and peeked at the wardrobe full of clothes. "Wear anything you look pretty in anything and also nothing! "He grinned. Almost immediately he was the recipient of her tap on his cheek. 

" ouch!" 

"Tell me!"

"Hmmm.. This blue top .." He said removing her top from the cupboard. As he did so, an entire pile fell. 

"Shivaay!" Anika whined.

"I have got this!" He said quickly bending down to pick the clothes up. That's when he notes a pink envelope on it was written "To Shivaay".

" Woah. Love letter on my name." He exclaimed handing Anika the clothes and proceeding to open the envelope. Color drained from Anika's face when she saw the letter in Shivaay's hand. "Shivaay leave that!" She said snatching it away. Her heart beating frantically. 

"Hey its for me! Let me read it!" He said quickly snatching it back.

"Shivaay please. No."

"What secrets have you written huh...?" He said playfully raising his eyebrows.

She tried taking it away from him but he dodged well. 

"Shivaay, it makes no sense now. Please give it back."

"Let me see what my wife writes to me ." he said excited to read it.

"I am asking you to not, Shivaay!" She said irritated.

"Why are you irked? You wrote it for me right! So I might as well have a look. " he turned to the letter . He noticed the date, written in small digits. His smile faded slightly. It was dated five months back. That meant after their fight. He looked at her.

"Don't!" She said, it was almost a plea.

He opened it and got the letter out. Anika's heart froze. How would he react? Maybe he would just understand!

Dear Shivaay,

I hated when we fought like that. I hated of when you rejected my calls and  didn't call back. I wanted you to understand that it is difficult for me to be without you. I miss you. Bit I hate you for what you did. You've never screamed at me like that. You called it immaturity. It hurt me. 

But that doesn't change things. I love you. I love you very much.But there is something you must know.

You know why you are important to me? Why I behave so "immature"? Because it's more than love.

You are my life Shivaay. My Best Friend, my guide, my mentor, my secret keeper, my teacher, my caretaker, my everything. You are much more than a lover or a husband Shivaay. You became my lifeline. I depend on you. My whole existence spins about you. When you left you took everything. 

When you said you won't come back soon - I was mad. Mad because I was waiting. I am tired of waiting. Its like I don't have a life without you. I need you Shivaay. Everyday, every moment of my life!

It's been three weeks. We haven't even spoken properly since that day. You just said 'sorry and let's close the discussion'. I hate you for it.

But something happened today. I don't think it should have. I don't know, I felt guilty. I wanted to talk but you wrapped up the conversation so fast. It's like you barely give conversation time. That's why I am writing this. I don't know whether I will ever give you this. But I have only you to share everything with. 

I was depressed. I can't stop thinking about you. It's been days and I still think of it. I miss you a lot more. I was at the office. No matter how much I try to focus on work, I just can't runaway from thoughts about you and us. 

The lights went out and I was so scared. I was waiting for you. I was scared. Its as like my life would end. I have been fearing that ever since the almost accident. Yes, I almost met with one. I was absentmindedly crossing the road, if it hadn't been for Vishal, I was probably dead. I didn't want to die without seeing you. 

Vishal came in and he reminds me of you. He tries to make me laugh, always makes sure I have eaten so that  I don't faint like I once did. I know it's wrong. I shouldn't be seeing you in anybody. But Vishal reminds me of you. He is caring and so friendly. He came in to make sure I was okay. I was too lost. Too vulnerable. I hugged him. Like I hugged you when I was scared. In that moment I had forgotten it wasn't you it was Vishal. 

I am scared Shivaay. I haven't felt this way before. I haven't hugged a man other than you. I haven't admired any man besides you. It scares me. I don't know who to share this with. You are so faraway. So busy to hear me out. I feel I am losing you Shivaay. I feel my love becoming weak. I feel you don't love me like you used to. I don't know. This is maddening Shivaay. I don't want to fall out of love.

Please comeback before its late.

-Anika.

Shivaay was shaken by the contents the letter carried. At first he felt so mad at at himself but later he couldn't believe he had read that. Anika had feelings for Vishal? Was that what she meant? She..she compared another man to him? Tears rolled down his eyes. He raised his gaze to took at her. She had moisture in eyes.

"Vishal?" He said doubtfully. She was still in touch with him. After all that. What more had happened in these five months?  He saved her from accident was practically with her entire day and she had hugged him. It burnt him. His body was on fire. 

While he was away thinking of seeing his Anika proud of her husband, she was here...thinking about another man?

"How could you Anika?" He asked in a dispirited voice.

"How!" He screamed the second time. 

Woosh. Had been waiting for this!

Now I need all your PoVs on this! Waiting °_°

-Anami!
