Anika woke up late feeling fresh yet bit weak. She slowly walked out of her bed and completed her daily chores.

By the time she came out all ready, she found Arnav sitting on her bed with breakfast in a tray and him busy scrolling his phone.

"Good morning Bhai!" She wished walking upto him and giving him a hug.

"Morning Princess. How do you feel?" He asked kissing her forehead.

"Good" she smiled settling on the bed.

"Come on, have this" Arnav passed her the tray filled with fruit bowl, juice, pancakes.

"Bhai, let's go and eat downstairs with mom and dad."

"Annie, they have went to the hospital for regular check up. And from there they will be leaving for Shirdi Darshan."

"Oh! Okay..."

...time skip

In hall

"Bhai, I have few questions and I need you to be honest with me." Anika sat down beside Arnav who stopped working on his laptop listening to her serious tone.

He knew what's coming next and he was ready for it.

"Ask"

"Bhai, yesterday in hospital Om and Rudra were addressing me as there Bhabhi which means..

"Which means you are there Bhabhi and wife of Shivaay Singh Oberoi." Arnav completed.

"But how did I get married bhai? I mean I...

"Shh... don't stress out darling. You aren't remembering anything as you have lost your past year memory temporarily but that does not mean you can not know what happened and how did you end up getting married."

"Please Bhai I want to know what happened and how did I end up losing my memory."

"I will but promise me if you feel a bit heavy or uncomfortable you will immediately let me know. Story can wait but your health is my first priority."

"Promise Bhai" she sat folding her legs up and facing Arnav.

"It all started with you and Shivaay getting to know about how our grandfather 's had promised each other that they will get their children's first born married if it's a girl and a boy and will turn their long friendship into relationship.

You both agreed to marry just for sake of fulfilling our grandfather's wish. Which I'm very proud of. Arnav patted her head.

Engagement happened in a week and it was decided that you guys would get married after a month. You and Shivaay are very much tadibaaz in your language, never left a moment to show each other tadi.

And prior to your marriage Summer Collection Week was there. And even though there were many hurdles in your path you and your team with your hardwork and passion won the event. Look here are the pics. " Arnav showed her there engagement and ramp walk pic.

"Bhai how is Shivaay and me are show stopper!" Anika asked looking questionably at pictures.

Long story short, your competitors created a chaos and Shivaay and you cleared up the mess."

"Bhai....then.."

"Patience my dear, before we go ahead. It's your medicine time. Wait here, I'll bring it."

Anika made a face and decided she gonna hide before Arnav Bhai comes. She looked around to find a space and rushed behind curtain to hide.

"Annie...huh! Where did this girl go!" She heard Arnav mumbling.

Bark* Bark* Bravo barked sitting opposite to curtain looking at Anika.

Anika face palmed knowing now she's gonna get caught.

Bark* Bark* Bark* Bravo started walking towards her wagging his tail.

"Shh..go Bravo...no don't come here..shh" Anika tried to be as low as possible but alas se failed.

"You little is hiding behind curtain to avoid eating medicine..Annie.." Arnav called making Anika come out of curtain and smiled sheepishly at him.

"I'm not gonna have that kadvi medicine Bhai. Please.." she made a puppy face.

"Nope, this time it's not gonna work. Be a good girl and come here."

"No.." saying this she started running away with Arnav behind her and Bravo behind them who believed they were playing game.

"Anika come here, have this" Arnav ran behind her with medicine in his hands.

"No, I'm not having that ..." Anika ran fast only to crash into a hard chest. Before she could fall down two pair of arms caught her safely.

Anika closed her eyes in fear of getting hurt but felt no pain, she slowly opened her eyes only to connect with those familiar blue-green orbs.

"Shivaay" she whispered getting lost in it. She felt as if this has happened before..

Flashback...

"Thank god Shivaay, you caught her. This madam is making me run after her since past 5 minutes!" Bhai had victory expression on his face while I tried to free myself from his hold but he just tightened it not letting me go.

"Open your mouth princess, come on.. it's for your own good." I shook my head looking at the other side.

"Anika! Shivaay now you only do something" Bhai sighed giving up.

"Open your mouth Anika or else I'll have to kiss you in front of everyone!" My jaws dropped to the ground hearing him. Before I knew he had popped medicine in my mouth and made me drink water.

Anika felt unconscious making both Shivaay and Arnav panick.

"It seems Mrs.Oberoi has remembered some part of her memory which made her feel weak and go unconscious. You don't have to worry, it's a good sign that she has so early started remembering her past memories." Doctor responded via phone.

Arnav cut the call and looked at Shivaay who seemed lost in his own thoughts.

"Shivaay it's good that Anika is slowly getting her memory back but I just cannot think of consequences of the day she would remember what she has gone through!" Arnav kissed her forehead as she slept tension free.

"Khanna what's the status? "

"Sir as ordered, we have broken his both arms and legs and chipped his all nails from the skin."

"Make sure he stays alive, there is much more he needs to go through before receiving death." Shivaay cut the call and huffed in anger.

"Arnav you have a meet to attend right, you go , I'll be here with Anika."

"But.."

"I know you are worried about her but I also know how much hard you are being working on this project. If anything happens, I will call you immediately. Don't worry."

"Okay. I'll be in office room upstairs." Shivaay nodded and Arnav walked out.

...

"Mmm.." a sound left Anika's mouth as she slowly opened her eyes. Her hands caught hold of her head that was slightly paining. In no moment Shivaay was by her side.

"Here have this. he made her drink some water and helped her sit properly. What happened? Is your head paining?"

"I..I felt that , me running away from Bhai and you catching me all this have happened before! Has it?"

"Yes, but you don't need to stress yourself okay. "

"Umm..Shivaay can we just go out, I feel suffocated here."

"We will but have something first. Look I have made some Aloo Puri for you." Listening to aloo Puri her mouth instantly started watering.

She grabbed plate from his hands and started gobbling up on it.

"Mm...it's tasty. Thank you." She moaned while eating.

"Waise, trust me you should have being chef, why did you choose business?" She asked licking her fingers. Shivaay just sat their amused looking at her eating like a kid. Not that he hasn't seen it prior but he missed this bubbly Anika.

"Just give me a minute, I'll wash my hands and come."

Shivaay texted Arnav and Rudra who was constantly messaging asking about Anika. Since last two days Oberoi Mansion has lost it's light, it's Anika. Everyone stays silent on dining table, Rudra who used to create nusense with his tricks no longer bothers anyone, just  from college to home and home to college.

Environment has turned all dull and sad. They are missing their daughter.

"Let's go" Shivaay 's trance broke as he heard her. They walked out not before taking Bravo with them. It was around 5 in the evening, heat not too high. There was silence between them as they walked around the garden.

"Voh..I.. Actually know that we are married. She spoke making Shivaay stop in his tracks. He turned towards her patiently waiting for her to continue. Before you came, Bhai was about to tell me how we got married but we couldn't reach till there. Will you tell me about it?" She asked hopefully.

"Till where do you know?"

"Umm...last I remember was Bhai telling me about Summer Week Collection winning."

Shivaay filled in her with details of how Dadi had lung faliure and it was her wish to see them married and how they decided to get married. Anika listened to it attentively.

"You guys are here, I was looking for you inside." Arnav walked in stopping their conversation.

"Annie baby, you feel better right?"

"Yes Bhai. I'm all good. Infact Shivaay made me aloo Puri, I'll tell you how tasty it was. Ekdum khidkitod!" Shivaay chuckled listening to the word after so long.

"It's past 6 you guys, come on let's go inside."

"Arnav, I'll take a leave now. "

"But why? I know you have no work today. And have dinner with us tonight. I'm making Chole Bhature!"

"Please Shivaay ruk jao naa, infact call Om and Rudra too. I would like to meet and spend time with them too!" Anika exclaimed.

"Yes, I'm sure Rudra is missing her bhabhi very much." Shivaay nodded with smile and called Om and Rudra who got excited listening to Anika want to meet him.

"They will be here in an hour or so."

"Great, let's go inside." Trio walked inside.
