Oberoi Mansion,

Shivaay came to OM from Annika's house and saw everyone is busy in work.

Shivaay-"Good morning"

All family members looked at him and smiled.

S-"Kya chal raha hai?"

Jhanvi-"Hum function ki arrangements kr rahe hai. Taaki Annika pr jyada load naa aaye."

S-"Ok"

Pinky-"Waise shivaay tu kaha se aa raha hai?"

S-"Woh... kuch kaam tha"

Rudra-"Kaisa kaam?"

S-"Tha kuch."

P-"Office ka kaam tha?"

Shivaay nodded.

P-"Office ke kaam ke liye tu kurta payjama pehen kr gaya tha?"

S-"H.....Haa woh.. important tha na toh... bh.....bhul gaya"

R-"Haa ha sab pata hai aapka important kaam.."

S-"Matlab????"

R-"Matlab I know ki aap jhooth bol rahe ho"

Daad-"Jhooth bol rahaa hai? Kya?"

R-"Daadi mein dikhata hu aapko aapke billu ka important kaam."

He smirked and showed the photo in his phone to everyone except Shivaay.

All looked at shivaay and started teasing him.

S-"What?Aisa kya hai dikhao mujhe bhi."

He said and snatched phone from Rudra. He looked at the screen and his jaw dropped.

S-"Y.....Yeh k.....kya hai?"

Om-"Yeh toh hume tujhse puchna chahiye na? Kya hai yeh?"

S-""woh.... actually mein.... ek minute.....pehle yeh batao yeh pic tumhe kaise mili Rudy?"

R-"Bhavya ne send ki. Woh subah uthi toh aap dono ko aise dekha n usne pic bhej di. Waise you both were looking cute."

Shivaay blushed.

P-"Shivaay but tu krne kya gaya tha waha? N Annika ne daanta nhi tujhe ?Gussa nhi hui ki raat ko gaya tha usse milne."

O-"Gussa kyu hogi? Aree ha aap logo ko toh pata hi nhi hai. Bhabhi pyaar krne lagi hai hamare Shivaay se"

R-"Ek baar phir"

O-"Haa phirse"

All asked Shivaay ad he simply nodded.

P-"Oh my maata. Matlab inki love story start ho gayi phir se. Mummyji kyu na hum Ruvya ke saath saath Shivaay Annika ki bhi shaadi krade"

S-"Mom....."

P-"Kya mom? Mein kuch nhi sunungi. Shaadi toh krni hi padegi"

S-"No mom. Kuch bhi kaise bolti hai aap?"

P-"Ajeeb ho tum. Pehle mein khud tum dono ke shaadi ke khilaaf thi. N ab mein bol rahi hu ki shaadi kro. Toh tum naa bol rahe ho."

S-"Mom we are already married. Phir shaadi kyu kare? N jabtak Annika ki memory nhi aati aisa kuch nhi sochna please. Kuch nhi batane wala me use"

O-"Kyu?? aab kya problem hai batane me?"

S-"Agar usne kuch alag react kr diya past jaanane ke baad toh? Waise bhi Germany jaane ke baad uski memory wapas aayegi hi. Toh tabtak koi use past ke baare me nhi batayega. Jaise hum dono abhi hai waise hi khush hu mein tabtak."

All agreed.

S-"Ok mein aata hu."

He said and left from there.

Annika's house,

Annika ,Bhavya and Gauri having their bresk fast.

Bhavya-"Annika didi kal raat neend toh thik se aayi thi na aapko?"

Annika-"Haa. Kyu?"

B-"Nahi bas puch liya. Thik hai na ab aap? Kuch sprain vgera toh nhi hai."

A-"Thik hu mein. Kyu puch rahi ho?"

B-"Kuch nhi aise hi."

Bhavya was smiling.

Gauri-"Kya hua?Itna kyu has rahi ho?"

B-"Kuch nhi. Waise bhabhi mujhe aapko kuch dikhana hai".

G-"Kya?"

Bhvya showed that shivika picture to Gauri. Both hi-fived each other and giggled.

A-"Kya hai? Mujhe bhi toh dikhao."

She said and snatched phone from them. She looked at picture and her eyes widened in shock.

A-"Y.....yeh....."

b-"Mein suabh jaldi uth gayi thito dekh liya. You guys are looking so cute. Ki maine pic nikal diya."

G-"Waise Bhaiya kyu aaye the?"

A-"Are unhone koi dream dekh liya tha. N us dream me mein unhe chodke jaa rahi thi. Toh woh darr gaye the. Kitna darr gaye the pata hai. Maine unhe kabhi nhi dekha tha waisa."

g-"Darenge hi woh. Di chahe kuch bhi ho jaye pr aap bhaiya ko phir kabhi chodkr mat jaana."

A-"Arree nhi jaungi baba. Shivaay bhi baar baar yahi bol rahe yhe. Ro rahe the kitna. Isliye maine kaha ki yahi ruk jao. Subah chale jaana."

B-"Bhaiya bhi aapse utna hi pyaar krte hai jitna aap unse."

A-"Ha mujhe pata hai. But propose nhi krte bas. Bagadbilla kahi ke.Bol rahe the memory aane ke baad."

G-"Toh aap kr lo na"

A-"Haa mein toh krne hi wali hu ab. Unhe bhi pata chale ki mein bhi kam nhi hu surprise dene me. Ruvya marriage n Aarav ki party se pehle krdungi. pr pata nhi kaisa react krenge Shivaay?"

B-"Dont worry bhaiya haa hi bol denge."

G-"And bahut khush bhi honge, ki apne unhe pehle propose kiya,dekhna."

A-"Hmm. Chalo hamari baate khatam hi nhi hoti. hume OM jaana hai. Tum dono kya daughters in-laws ho OM ki. Tumhe kuch kaam nhi hai. But mujhe bahut saara kaam hai.  Ready ho jao."

B-"Toh aap bhi bahu ho na us ghar ki"

A-"What?"

B-"I... I mean hone wali "

      Annika blushed a little. Suddenly door bell rings.

A-"Mein dekhti hu."

Annika said and walked towards door. She opened the door. There was one man stading with the gift box. Annika looked at him confused.

A-"Yess"

Person-"Ms.Annika??"

A-"Ji mein hu"

Person-"This is for you." He said and gave that box to Annika.

A-"But maine kuch order nhi kiya tha."

Person-"No mam. This is gift for you."

   He gave her one letter and left from there. Annika was asking him something but he left before that. She closed the door,kept that box on table and opened that letter. She read it and big smile appeared on her fce.

      Yes the letter is from Shivaay. It reads,

Dear Annika,
      You remember I was talking about one surprise when Aarav( 😠 )disturbed us. So,this is the surprise. Hope you like it.
Please wear this tonight. Cant wait to see my Annika in this dress.
                              Only yours,
                               Shivaay ❤❤

      Annika smiled and dialled his number.

On call,

S-"Hello"

A-"Thank you so much"

S-"Thank you? You know na no sorry no thank you in friendship"

A-"But we are not friends anymore,now we became...."

        She stopped after realizing what she was going to say. She bites her toungue. Shivaay laughed.

S(husky voice)-"Now we what...?"

A-"K... Kuch nhi. Thank you for the dress byee.."

S-"Aree listen... Come soon. I am waiting for you."

A-"Byee"

       She said and kept phone on the table but forgot to cut it. She took that box and opened it. Guuri and Bhavya came there.

B-"Woww what is this?"

A-"Dress"

G-"Bhaiya ne bheja hai?"

A-"Yess"

B-"How romantic..."

A-"Haa. Shivaay is best. Kitna kuch krte hai mujhe special feel krane ke liye.Abhi yeh sab kr rahe hai mere liye. Pata nhi baad me kya kya krenge."

       Shivaay was listening their conversation. He smiled after listening Annika's sentence.

G-"Chalo. Ab chalna chahiye."

B-"Haa. I am so happy. Kitna accha lag raha hai na hum sab saath me hai. Puri family ke saath aise functions celebrate krna kitna accha lagta hai na?"

A-"Haa bas ek ki kami hai. Sahil.....I am missing him so much. Mere accident ke baad woh hostel gaya hai. Ek baar bhi nhi aaya uske baad."

G-"Di uske exams chal rahe hai na... Isliye nhi aaya. Koi baat nhi. Hum usse milne chale jaayenge."

A-"Abhi kaha ho paayega Gauri. Kitna kuch kaam hai. Yeh sab hone ke baad hi use milna hoga. Leave all this. Chalo."

      Annika said and they left from there to get ready. On other side, Shivaay was listening their conversation. He smiled and cuts the call. He then calls someone.

Oberoi Mansion,

      Annika , Gauri and Bhavya came there.

P-"Lo aa gayi. Kabse waits kr rahe hai hum sab."

A-"Sorry aunty traffic tha."

J-"Its ok. Chalo breakfast krlo tum."

A-"Nahi aunty hum ne kiya hai ghar pr. Ab mein kaam pr lag jaati hu. Bahut kaam baaki hai."

D-"Dont worry beta. Humne tumhara sab kaam kr diya hai. Bas tum ek baar dekh lo kuch reh gaya hai toh..."

A-"Daadi kyu aap logo ne takleef ki. Mein kr deti na waise bhi yeh mera kaam hai."

O-"Aur hamara bhi. isliye kiya. But abhi bhi kuch baaki hai. Let's go. woh bhi krte hai saath me."

P-"Haa krlo hum log mandir jaa rahe hai. Aane tak sab kuch krlo."

A-"Ji aunty sab ho jaayega. N thank you meri help krne ke liye."

    Pinky smiled and hugs her and Jhanvi,Pinky and daadi left from there.

Shivika's room,

    Shivaay was doing his office work when he sensed Annika. He smiled and was about to go to the hall when his phone rings. He loked at caller Id. It shows Bela. He receives phone worriedly.

S-"Hello Bela, are you ok?Phit kuch problem hui?"

Bela-"Hello sir,good morning. Nahi sab kuch thik hai. In fact, bahut accha hai. Woh dad aapse baat krna chahte hai."

S-"Oh ok"

Bela's dad-"Hello sir"

S-"Hello uncle how are you?"

Bela's dad-"I am fine beta. Maine bas thank you bolne ke liye call kiya tha. Jo bhi kuch kal aapne hamari Bela ke liye kiya....."

S-"Aree uncle its ok. Jo bhi kiya Annika ne kiya."

Bela's dad-"Haa beta. Aap dono bahut acche ho. Aaj ke baad mein Bela pr kisi bhi baat ke liye jabardasti nhi krunga. Aapne meri aankhe khol di. waise Annika mam was right. Jo bhi aadmi aisa krta hai use punishment milni hi chahiye. Maine toh decide kr liya hai,ki agar koi mujhe aisa person milega na jo kisi ke saath aisa kr raha ho toh mein chup nhi rahunga,police ko inform krdunga."

S-"J.....Ji un....uncle"

Bela's dad-"Haa. Koi kisi ke saath aisa kr bhi kaise sakta hai. Agar koi krega na toh uss ladkine uss ladke ko kbahi bhi maaf nhi krna chahiye... kabhi bhi nhi"

S-"Un.....uncle actually I am busy. Hum baad me baat kre plz."

Bela's dad-"Oh sorry beta. Ok, once again thank you. Annika mam ko bhi bol dena. bye."

S-Ji haa,bye"

    Shivaay sat on the bed. Again last nights dream came infront of his eyes.

In hall,

     Annika was working with OmRu and Gauri-Bhavya. But her mind was somewhere else. Rudra told her that Shivaay is at home. So she was thinking why he didn't came once to meet her.

R-"Didi...."

A-"....."

R-"Annika didi....." Rudra said loudly.

A-"H.....Haa"

G-"Di kaha dhyaan hai aapka?"

A-"k.....kahi nhi. Kya bol rahi thi tum?"

R-"Gauri bhabhi nhi mein bol raha tha"

A-"Ok sorry. Bolo kya hua?"

R-"Kuch nhi bhul gaya ab."

O-"Accha hua. Waise bhi tera koi faltu question yaa idea hoga. Thank god bhul gaya."

R-"O tumne meri ideas ko faltu kaha??"

G-"Aap dono fight baad me krna pehle kaam kro."

R-"Ok"

A-"Tum log kaam kro mein abhi aati hu."

     Annika said and before anyone asks her questions she left from there.

Shivika's room,

    Anika came there and knocked on the door.

S-"Kaun hai?"

    Anika came inside. Shivaay was sitting on sofa and working on his laptop. But his face showed that he was worried for something. Annika smiled and came towards him. He looked up.

S-"Annika....."

    Annika sat beside him.

A-"Ji mein. Phone pr toh bol rahe the ki jaldi aao. Ab 1 hour ho gaya hai mujhe yaha aaye hue. And aap ek baar bhi milne nhi aaye mujhse."

S-"H...haa kuch kaam tha."

      He said without looking at her.

A-"Haa pata hai kya kaam hai."

     She closed his laptop.

S-"Annika..... Mein ..... Mein kaam kr raha tha and....."

     Annika turned him towards her.

A-"Kya hua hai Shivaay? Kyu itne pareshaan lag rahe hai?"

S-"K...kuch nhi just..woh..... nothing..."

A-"Shivaay jhooth mat boliye. Kuch hua hai kya? Subah toh thik the." She asked cupping his face."

s-"Kuch nhi Annika just work stress."He said removing her hands from his face.

A-"Aapko kya lagta hai mein maan jaaungi. Kya hua hai batao. ek minute,kahi aap phir kal ke dream ke baare me toh nhi soch rahe hai na?

      Shivaay looked at her. His eyes are moist. Annika shakes her head in disbelief.

A-"Shivaay. Kya kaha tha maine kal. Nahi jaa rahi hu mein kahi."

    Shivaay hugs her. She smiled and hugs him back.

S-"Agar gayi toh....."

A-"Itna bhi bharosa nhi hai mujh pr?'

S-"Pura bharosa hai pr..... agar gayi toh....."

    Annika broke the hug.

A-"Shivaay maine promise kiya hai na? Bhul gaye kya aap? Nahi jaaungi mein. Ab aur kya kru jisse aapko yakeen ho jaaye?"

    Shivaay hold her hands.

S-I am sorry Anika. I know tum apna promise kabhi nhi todogi but....."

A-Business man hai na aap? business ki language hi samjhte hai,ruko."

      She removed his hands from her and left from there. Shivaay looked at her confused. She came back with pen and paper.

S-"Yeh kya hai?"

A-"Dikhati hu"

    She took that paper and wrote on it

      Mein Annika Trivedi , Mr. Shivaay singh Oberoi ko kabhi bhi chodke nhi jaaungi. Kuch bhi hua toh bhi nhi.
      Agar Shivaay Singh Oberoi ne khud bhi kaha toh bhi nhi jaaungi.
      Agar maine aisa kiya toh Shivaay Singh Oberoi mujhe kuch bhi punishment de sakte hai.
            Thank you.....
                                  Aapki Annika.

She signed on that paper and gave that paper to Shivaay.

S-"Annika..."

A-"Ab toh yakkeen aa gaya?"

S-"I am sorry Annika."

       He hugs her. 

S-"Phir kabhi nhi kahunga. I am sorry. I know kabhi nhi jaaogi tum."

A-"Good. Aur ha ise sambhalke rakhna"

   She said and broke the hug. 

S-"Haa"

A-"Toh deal pakki?"

     She said and winked at him.

S-"Yes deal pakki. Mere jindagi ki sabse important deal"

      He said and kissed her hand. She smiled at him. He came closer to her.

A-"What are you doing Shivaay?"

S-"Deal pakki kr raha hu"
      He said and held her waist. Annika wiggled in his arms.

A-"Chodiye mujhe. Deal toh pakki ho gayi hai." She said stammering.

S-"Haa but confirmation jaroori hai"

      He said tracing her lips with his thumb. She pushed him and gets up from sofa.

S-"Kya hua deal final nhi krni?" He said smirking.

A-"Cheapde. Koi jaroorat nhi hai aise confirmation ki. Samjhe?Ab chalo mere saath."

S-"Kaha?"

A-"Kaam nhi krna?"

S-"Kaisa kaam?"

A-"Sab log kaam mein meri help kr rahe hai and aap yaha baithe hue hai gubbare ki tarah mooh fulakr. Chalo aap bhi kaam me help krdo."

S-"No way. Mein kuch nhi krne wala."

A-"Mein puch nhi rahi hu bata rahi hu. Kaam  krenge toh aapki height nhi kam ho jaayegi"

S-Annika don't you dare go there."

A-"Nahi chahte na ki mein aapki height ka majaak udau toh chalo. "

     Shivaay nodded and Annika dragged him with her to the hall.

In evening,

Guest room,

A-"Chalo. Ho gayi ab tum dono ready. Dekhu toh jra, bahut acchi lag rahi ho tum dono. Omru ki khair nhi aaj toh..."

            (Gauri's Dress)

B-"Thank you. Chalo ab aap tayyar ho jao."

G-"Ha chalo phir neeche chalte hai."

A-Tum dono jao mein ready hokar aati hu."

B-"No sab saath me jaayenge"

G-"Haa hum apki help kr dete hai"

A-"Nahi tum dono jao. Pinky aunty n Jhanvi aunty wait kr rahi hogi. Guest bhi aa rahe honge. Mein aa jaungi bas 10 minutes me"

B-"Are you sure?"

A-"Haa"

G-"Ok jaldi aa jana"

A-"Haa jao ab tum isse pehle koi bulane aa jaye."

     Gauri and Bhavya left from there.

    Annika changed her dress and she was setting her dupatta when two hands came from behind and wrapped around her waist. Anika smiled.

A-"Shivaay....."

S(whispered)-"Tumhe kaise pata mein hu?"

A-"Jaise aapko hamesh pata hota hai ki mein hu."

    Shivaay smiled and turned her towards her.

             (Annika's Dress)

He looked at her from head to toe. He smiled and said,

S-"Beautiful"

A-Yeah, This dress is really very beautiful. I loved it."

      Shivaay cupped her face and tucked her hairs behind her ear.

S-"Mein dress ki nhi tumhari baat kr raha hu. Tum koi bhi dress pehenogi toh aise hi beautiful lagogi"

    She blushed and looked down.

S-"Someone is blushing....haa?? Maine toh kuch kiya bhi nhi phir bhi blush kr rahi ho. Pata nhi kuch krne ke baad kya krogi..."

     He said smirking. She looked at him shocked and hits on his shoulder.

A-"Cheapde"

      She said and her face turned into a crimson red.

S-"Dekho phir blush kr rahi ho"

      Suddenly he remembered something. He left her and went outside. Annika looked at him confused. He came back.

S-"Koi nhi hai"

A-"Matlab"

S-"Matlab pata hai subah kya hua? Woh kal hum jab so rahe the toh Bhavya ne hamari......"

A-"Picture click ki thi na?"

S-"Tumhe pata hai?"

A-"Haa."

S-"But yeh nhi pata hoga ki sabne dekh li woh picture."

A-"WHAT?? Yaha? Kaise?Bhavya ne click ki thi na?'

S-"Haa usne Rudy ko send ki thi. N Rudy ne puri family ko dikha di"

A-"What? Sabko?"

S-"Yess my dear sabko"

A-"Oh my god. Ab mein kaise jau sabke saamne? Pata nhi kya sochenge sab? Kya kru mein ab??"

S-"Shsh relax relax..... Kuch nhi hoga. Koi kuch nhi bolega"

A-"Par Shivaay....."

S-"Koi kuch nhi bolega Annika. But hume OmRu n Gauri-Bhavya se ab bachke rehna chahiye."

A-"Haa hamesha tease krte rehte hai."

S-"Haa. Ok woh sab jaane do. Ready ho jao jaldi. Function start hone wala hai."

A-"Haa.Once again thank you for dress."

   Annika said and kissed his cheek. Shivaay looked at her surprised and touched his cheek.

S-"Agar yeh return gift milne wala hai pata hota toh roj tumhe dress gift krta mein..."

     He said coming close to her. She pushed him.

A-"Shut up."

S-"Shivaay Singh Oberoi ko chup krane ki himmat kisi me nhi hai."

A-"Jyada woh kya kehte ho aap..... Haa jyada tadi mat maaro."

S-"Mein nhi tum kehti thi woh"

A-"Haa thik hai. Shivaay Singh Oberoi ko chup krane ki himmat kisi me nhi hai but Annika me hai" she said raising her imaginary collar.

S-"Haa woh bhi hai. Sirf aur sirf tum me himaat hai and mein surf tumhe allow krta hu mujhse aise baat krne ke liye."

A-"I know I know. I am best"

S-"Jyada udo mat"

S-"Haa... But usse pehle ek surprise hai tumhare liye."

A-"Surprise?? Again?"
