Anika's every word was ringing in shivaye's head, stabbing his heart, her accusing eyes piercing his soul, he was so lost, he wanted this torture to end but unknown to him, it was just the starting point of the torture going on around him. He was so lost, he wanted the earth to open up & swallow him whole, he couldn't face anyone now, the Anika that he met a few minutes ago from the Anika he remember, shy, sweet, innocent who couldn't even hurt a fly & the girl who threatened him a few minutes ago was anything but those things, she was stubborn, rude, haughty & fearless. He was still looking at the direction her car went with dejected eyes. when his brother's word brought him out of his trance.

" They say hell had no fury like a women scorned but I say hell had no fury like a mother whose child has been scorned" Om spoke with a dark humorless chuckle.

"Omkara" his mother shouted at him looking shocked at his audacity

"what, what did I say wrong mom did you all forget how you bad mouthed the child in her womb in front of her, calling it Satan's spawn if someone called me that in front of you, will you keep quite won't you hate that person too, so what's diff in this situation huh, she hates the family that scorned her child, did any of you ever thought what side effect of Anika's stress could have befallen on the kid, have you ever thought how delicate Anika's condition was then, She could have even lost her child if it wasn't for Sid" Stating so Om moved inside the house not before giving Rudra a look that simply stated you were wrong, she was right & she hates you now.

Quitely everyone entered back the mansion, Tej reminding everyone that Priyanka was still getting married, so they need to concentrate on the preparation too.

Nodding slightly everyone went to their rooms.

Ruvya room

"Are you regretting marrying me now, Rudra," Bhavya asked her husband softly afraid for his answer

"No, I love you Bhavya, I love you but Sumo was my best friend & I did wrong her" He spoke sounding guilty

"Don't worry, She will forgive you" Bhavya told her smiling lightly

"I hope so, Bhav" He spoke looking at her hopefully

On the other hand when Anika reached her mansion, she found it really quite in accordance with the number of troublemakers the house was holding presently. She saw a servant going towards kitchen & quickly asked her

"Radha, Where is everyone??" she asked her with raised eyebrows

"Sir with mam, Saumya mam, Nandini mam, Taani mam, Ishana mam, Harry sir & Baby mam are in kitchen preparing the dinner while the others are with Swayam sir, should I bring something for you to drink mam " She informed her smiling brightly

"oh, no thank you Radha inform bhai I'm with Swayam alright" she spoke softly as she made her way to Swayam's room only to find the remaining members of gang lounging happily around Swayam creating as much as noise they want to make, she rolled her eyes as she entered the room watching Manik lying on the king side bed beside Swayam, on top of him  Tanish & Kashika were sitting as he sang with them "Papa kehte hai" on top of his Voice while the other people present in the room were totally ignoring him watching Kashika her eyes lighten up a bit as she was seeing her Niece after ages, then her eyes landed on Rv & Omisha sitting along with Mike & Diya as Sonam & Amar fooled around in the room.

"you know it's such a regretful thing that you didn't break your leg" Manik told Swayam smiling brightly

"And why that's so if I may ask" Swayam asked back Manik squinting

"because if you broke your leg, your leg would have to be plastered than we could draw various things on that white thing, don't worry now we will make do with your face" Manik told swayam smirking mischievously

"Wow, great dushmano ki zarurat kya h jab aise mahaan dost mile hai mujhe"Swayam replied back sarcastically but his eyes were shinning in mirth as everyone else present in the room laughed along with the two even Ansh & Kashika, Ansh finally looked normal & she understood Manik & the others were behaving like that so Ansh will not go in trauma because of all the stress she has gone through during her Pregnancy Ansh was a late speaker, he couldn't speak when the other children around his age could. So, they know such trauma can make him stop speaking forever.

"heya, guys & good morning too both of you sleeping beauties" Anika added teasingly

"not you too, is it tease Swayam day ??" Swayam asked sounding dejected but his eyes were still sparkling with mischief

"yes" every single person in the room deadpanned making Swayam roll his eye

"I hate you all" he spoke whining slightly

"love you tooo" everyone answered laughing softly

"Mumma, Kashi wants choco-choco, Ansh wants choco-choco too & can we have some choco-choco for daddy too, daddy will get well soon then" Ansh spoke for the first time looking expectantly at Anika, Anika knew their were no chocolates at the house this time but she couldn't say no to her son's hopeful face. Rv understanding her problem blinked at her reassuringly

"we will eat choco-choco after dinner alright" Rv told the kids

"ok dadda/mamu" come the reply of the two exited children as Rv get up with Omisha moved towards the door & drag Anika with him outside

"so, I heard you threatened the oberoi's today, I'm sooo proud of you baby sis" Rv spoke too Anika mock wiping fake tears of happiness

Anika couldn't help but giggle at her brother's antics while Omisha rolled her eyes at her Fiance's antics

"so, where too, you two??" Anika asked them with raised eyebrows

"I think I just promised chocolates to those kiddo's so obviously I'm going to buy them" Rv told Anika as if explained it all

"you know it's not safe out"

"no, one knows who I'm really Anu, it will be fine & I want to show Isha the city I grew up in" Rv told her with pleading eyes

"alright, but come back soon fine"

"yeah, promise" Rv told her smiling brightly as she gave Omisha pls keep him in line look, Omisha smiled at her in return as they both exited the house hands in hands.

"you sure, Elina was spotted there" Omisha asked Rv as soon as they were in the car

"hmm, he told so"

"I think we should just go to the chocolate shop in that area, I heard it's the best chocolate shop in whole Mumbai, check out the location of cctv cameras, ask shree to hack the camera's & send live feeds to our phone's, we don't want to make her know of our knowledge right now, now do we" Omisha asked him with raised eyebrows

"you know, you're really-really smart Isha" Rv told her sounding impressed

"I know that pati dev, now drive" She replied to him smiling sweetly

"you know you never ordered me around like this when you were  my junior" he asked her with raised eyebrows

"cause I wasn't your fiance then & you were sadu" she retorted back

"hey, I'm not sadu"

"ask your juniors"

"I rather not, thank you very much" he told her smirking slightly as he stopped the car in front of the store as both of them got out of the car, Omisha come towards Rv's side & interlocked her fingers with her as they enter the store.

"we should take a box for each of them  what say??" Omisha asked him smiling looking around the store

"and why would I do that??" Rv asked her teasingly

"because all of your friends are children, who loves to fight over chocolate  & I don't want a world war in my home" she replied sassily to him

"my home" he asked her smiling brightly

"yes"she replied blushed looking down when she collided with someone as she wasn't looking forward, she went off-balance & was about to fall down when the strong arms of her fiance held her & steadied her back

"you ok," he asked her concerned

"yeah, I'm fine" then both of them looked at the girl in front of them whose all chocolate boxes & ice-cream containers were rolling on the ground & she picking them one by one.

"Oh, I'm so sorry mam, I wasn't looking" Omisha spoke instantly bending down & helping the girl with the boxes while Rv did the same silently rolling his eyes

"It's fine, I wasn't looking too" the girl replied softly still collecting the items rolling around her.

"prinku, you okay" another guy came to them asking the girl in front of them  and helping her collect the things. Omisha have noticed Rv's hand momentarily stop in the mid air hearing her name before he regained his composure & collected the box in front of her handling it back too the boy. All of them stood up & for the first time Omisha noticed the girl & Boy in front of her as she interlinked her arm with Rv's gently tapping her fingers on his tense muscle.

"thanks for the help, I'm Priyanka & this is my brother Omkara" the girl replied to them smiling lightly but her eye rims still have red circle around them pointing out the obvious fact that she cried recently.

"nice to meet you mam, I'm Omisha & this is my husband Rian but goes with the name Rv, we have to buy chocolate for our daughter, so will you please excuse us, she must be waiting" She told them, her smile bright & friendly making people feel at ease

"yeah sure, " Omkara replied this time as he exited the shop with his sister.

Her eyes didn't miss the way priyanka's hand by mistake came in contact with Rv's & she stopped in her tracks looking at him with shocked filled eyes, not pleased with the situation she dragged Rv with her towards the store owner. They purchased many chocolate boxes & ice-cream for their crazy family before exiting the store.

"so, husband huh" Rv asked her teasingly not able to take her silence any longer

"yups, any problem" She asked him fiercely, she didn't like the way Priyanka was looking at her love.

"naah, I just love when you become so possessive of me, I love ya btw" he spoke winking at her as he went to keep all their purchases on the backseat, leaving a shock her behind this was the first time he told her he loves her & she couldn't believe her ears nor could she control the smile that automatically bloomed on her face as she climbed up the cars. She smiled the whole way to the house no matter how much she denied about that too Anika & Taani latter.

On the other hand

Om & Prinku were driving back to OM

"What happened, you look lost??" Om asked Prinku

"Nothing" she replied broodingly, how could she explain to her brother how her heart skipped beats when that Rian guy came close to her, how heart beamed in joy when the women by his side introduced him as Rv, how her heart burned with jealousy when that girl's arms was interlinked with his or how her whole body experienced a sparkling sensation when her hand touched his, how could she explain all this to him, that he heart tells her this is her Rv, the Rv which everyone declared dead, yeah he doesn't look even a bit like her Rv but the way her heart behaved around him was the same way her heart behaved around her Rv.
