"Shivaay!" She whispered before closing her eyes and snuggling into his chest.

Shivaay looked at his now drunken wife and shook his head before carrying her towards the car. He dropped a message to Om and Arnav about the same before driving to Rathore Mansion.

"Oye Billu...I hate you. I..I .. don't wanna go with..you..you.." Anika's stumbled with words.

"Shh..who told you to get this drunk..huh! You are gonna have one hell hangover tomorrow in the morning." He scolded her like a five year old kid while she pouted folding her arms.

"Haww ...I will not talk to you..you bad!" Shivaay sighed knowing drunk Anika isn't gonna be easy to handle.

He agrees that he was late to the party but he had a reason which he decided to let her know tomorrow once she is all sober.

Shivaay parked the car and moved on other side to help her get out of the car.
He opened the door for her forwarding his hand but she just made a face not making any attempt to get down.

"Anika...come out."

"No!" She spoke showing her tongue.

"Anika ..stop behaving like a kid or else I will have to force you out of the car."

Anika ignored him and without wasting another second he pulled her into his arms and walked inside the mansion.

"You Billu..you are bad, you didn't even call me everyday and just texted once! How Boring Singh Oberoi you are.." Anika complained jabbing her fingers on his chest."

"Hmm...I see...but couldn't you instead call me?" Shivaay asked looking at her.

"Haww... don't you know that it's the guy who always misses the girl. Itna toh mere Wattpad readers ko bhi pata hai.Huh!" Anika scoffed .

"Wattpad? What's that?" Shivaay was confused as he settled her on her bed.

"Hawww...how dare you don't know your wife's first love!" Anika dramatically started crying. A possessive feeling ran down his veins hearing the word first love.

Shivaay raised his eyebrows in question and folded his arms waiting for her to answer.

"My Wattpad..my love... " She continued mumbling. He sighed and took seat beside her.

"It's already late, sleep Anika."

"No...I'm ..hiccup .not..hiccup.. hiccup sleepy."

Shivaay made her drink some water, he didn't knew how to take care of drunken Anika.

"You..You .. are bad hubby!" Anika complained crawling on his lap. Shivaay's eyes were popped out of the socket. He hesitated before holding her securely so that she doesn't fall.

"I..

"Kiss me!"

"What?" Shivaay shouted listening to her demand.

"Aww..my poor ears." She glared at him rubbing her ears.

God please help me! Where have I got myself stuck! Shivaay whispered feeling helpless.

"You, Billu..kiss me!" Anika demanded puling him closer by his collars.

"Anika..you are drunk and you don't know yourself what you're speaking!"

"You are bad..you are not kissing me." She started hitting him with her small fist and faking sobs.

"Shh... please don't cry. I can't see you crying." He gently cupped her cheeks trying to calm her down.

"But how can ...cann..I Billu, when ...you hiccup, reason." She slumped on his shoulder. Her words striked his heart.

"I don't know what to say Anika, I'm not like a prince charming every girl dreams about. I live in reality and I know love and happy life are mere imaginations evolved through people's mind. In sense, every relationship is filled with complications, sacrifices, hurdles..no relationship is perfect.

And I can't promise you the perfect relationship but can promise you that no matter what, you will always find me by your side. You are now part of my family, my better half and Shivaay Singh Oberoi apne family ke liye kuch bhi kar sakta hai. (SSO can do anything for his family) Unknown to him, his hands were busy carressing her hairs.

As he tilted to look at her, she was already asleep nestled into his arms. He slowly made her lie down and wrapped blanket around her.

He sat there looking at her sleeping figure, his gaze paused at her pink lips, he shook his head for having extreme thoughts.

Without giving much thought, he kissed her forehead making a smile form on her lips. He smiled seeing her react to his touch.

"Good night Mrs.Oberoi." He wished before walking out towards guest room.

He could have stayed in the same room with her but he respected Dadi's orders. Yes, she had given them permission to meet but not to stay together in one room until mairrage.

Changing into his night suit, Shivaay lied down on the bed, closing his eyes and allowing sleep to engulf him.

...

Anika woke up with a bad hungover. She moaned as her head was throbbing in pain. She looked at the table beside to find medicine and water already kept there.

Thanks Bhai! Anika mentally spoke and left to get ready. As the cold shower hit her body, all the events from yesterday came rushing down.

How she was desperately waiting for Shivaay, how he stood her up and then she got drunk. She tried remembering what happened next, who bought her here but it was like that part was wiped out of her brain.

She decided not to put so much pressure on head and dried herself before walking out in the closet to get ready.

Anika walked down the stairs towards kitchen, to find something to calm her grumbling tummy. With just few steps away from the kitchen door she was welcomed with an aroma.

"Wow..Aloo Puri! Bha..." She stopped in a mid as she saw that the person was not Arnav but Shivaay.

"Good morning Anika. You can take a seat, I will be there soon." He spoke while serving Puri's in the plate.

Anika didn't acknowledge his wish and went outside grabbing a seat. Huh! He has audacity to come infront after what he did last night! Anika mumbled to self and Shivaay walked out carrying the plate.

"Here you go. I hope you like it." Shivaay grabbed his seat infront and started sipping his coffee, looking at her to start.

Anika's tummy rumbled taking in the aroma of her favourite dish. Her mind and heart battled whether to eat it or not and finally she decided to eat as it's nit good to pour your anger out on the food.

Taking in the first bite, the flavour and spices burst out into her mouth wanting to moan out loud but she maintained blank expression while relishing the finger licking food.

"Ahmmm... Shivaay cleared his throat trying to gain her attention. He was keenly observing her, waiting for her reaction but she gave him nun.

Anika looked up, I hope I haven't made it too spicy!" He asked hopeful to atleast get a bit hint.

"Nope. It's tolerable." She answered before continuing with her food.

Shivaay sighed knowing she is mad at him and she should be. He hurt her indirectly, she was waiting for him and hoping that he would join her celebration.

"Anika I.....

"Shivaay, Anika..good morning." Shivaay's sentence was cutoff as Arnav entered the room.

"Morning bhai." Anika wished dully.

Arnav raised his eyebrows at Shivaay to which he nodded directing him that she is mad at him. It was Arnav who had given Shivaay idea to cook Anika's favourite dish Aloo Puri for breakfast and to ask her forgiveness but this time Aloo puri failed in doing its magic.

....

"Bhai I'm leaving for office. "Anika informed.

"Anika your car has gone for service today morning so..." Arnav answered

"Oh! Can you drop me to the office right?" She asked.

"I would have if I was going to office today. But I have to go to Lonavala and the route is opposite to the office one.."

"No problem bhai. I shall go by cab." Anika grabbed her phone while Arnav looked at Shivaay, frantically trying to find some excuse to stop her.

"Anika why don't you go with Shivaay! He has to meet some investors near your office. Haina Shivaay" Arnav looked at Shivaay.

"Umm..yeah. Anika, I will drop you." Anika didn't have any excuse to say no and especially nit infront of her brother.

"Okay." she answered before walking out. Shivaay gave Arnav a bro hug before following her.

Before he could reach to open the door for her, she had already opened it for herself and settled inside.

Shivaay walked to his side and settled inside, wearing the seatbelt.

"Anika, I know you are mad at me which you should be. I am guilty and I want to apologise for what I did yesterday. Please forgive me." Shivaay spoke breaking the tension.

"I'm not mad at you, I'm hurt Shivaay. Damn it I'm your wife now! You needed to be part of my success, my celebration.

Yes, I agree being such successful business is not easy you have tons of work and pressure on your shoulder everyday but couldn't you just for a day, not even a day, few hours take out time for me.

Don't you see me as your family Shivaay?" Anika wiped a tear that slipped down her eyes.

"You are my family Anika, and I'm truly sorry for what I did. I have no right to justify myself. Could you forgive me?" He stopped the car infront of her office.

Anika looked at him, his words and expressions showcased how sorry he was.

"No not yet. If Priyanka was in my place, would you have done the same? Thank you for the ride." She walked out leaving a stunned Shivaay behind.

He had screwed a big this time.

... To be continued.

                              ***

How will Shivaay earn her forgiveness?

Will this thrift create a barrier in their married life?

To know what happens next, Stay tuned.
