Finally it was time to cut the cake. A waiter brought the cake table in the middle of the stage and left.

Shivaay and Anika came forward with Shivika in Shivaay's arms.

Anika was stunned to see the designs made on the cake.

A- This is so beautiful.

S- I'm glad you liked it.

Anika smiled at him and Shivaay pecked her cheek.

Sh- Dadda, my kissy.

Anika and Shivaay chuckled at her cuteness. Shivaay and Anika both pecked her cheeks.

S- Let's cut the cake.

Shivaay and Anika made Shivika hold the knife carefully and then held her hand and cut the cake.

Everyone adored the cute little family.

Soon the party was over. Shivaay, Anika, Shivika, OmRi and Pinky headed to Shivika's home.

They were all sitting in the living room, when Pinky came there with her suitcase.

Shivaay and Anika looked at her.

O- Shivaay, we're leaving for London tonight. Mom and Dad had talked to a doctor there and he's very good. He might help Choti Maa in recovering.

Shivaay looked at Om and nodded his head.

They all stood up and Pinky walked towards Shivaay and Anika.

She cupped Shivaay's cheeks with a small smile.

P- Take care. I don't know if it's the last time I'm seeing you but if it's possible, please forgive me for my deeds. I know I hurt you a lot but I was blinded by my love for you. I'm sorry for everything.

Pinky joined her hands in front of Shivaay and Anika and Anika shook her head in negative with teary eyes.

Anika squeezed Shivaay's hand and Shivaay looked at her and remembered their previous conversation.

Flashback starts-

Shivaay and Anika were getting ready for their reception party when Anika looked at Shivaay.

S- What happened?

A- What have you thought about talking to Mom?

Shivaay avoided eye contact with her.

S- Jaan, we've already talked about this.

A- We haven't talked about this, Shivaay. You had told me your decision. Now I want to talk.

S- Anika, I can't forgive her. It's not easy, after she has done. Please try to understand.

A- It's not fair, Shivaay. Every mistake has forgiveness. Even I forgave you, after everything you did to me.

S- But....

A- No listen to me. Whether you were under Mom's influence or not, you did wrong with me. It's true, your mom wanted me out of your life and she acted but what did you do. You practically abandoned me. You had a option to talk and explain things to me but you chose the other way and abandoned me. Still I forgave you, After facing all the humiliation and difficulties. Why can't you forgive her?

Shivaay looked down in guilt.

A- She brought you up single-handedly, without your father. If she was possessive about you then I don't think it was wrong. She wanted you all by herself. I don't think it was wrong. She was just insecure and whatever she did was out of insecurity of losing you. She did a mistake, Shivaay and now she's suffering. At this time, she needs your support and the least you can do is to forgive her. Please Shivaay, forgive her, for my sake, for Shivi's sake.

Shivaay sat down on the bed with teary eyes.

S- I'm such a bad person, right. I failed everyone.

Anika sat in front of him and cupped his cheeks.

A- No you are not bad, Shivaay and you haven't failed any of us. We all love you. I love you. Shivi loves you. You are her superhero.

Shivaay smiled through tears.

S- But today, mom is leaving for London.

A- So what? You just have to forgive her and give her a hug filled with love and everything will be good as it always was.

Shivaay pecked Anika's forehead.

S- I'm so lucky to have you. I love you.

A- I love you too.

They hugged each other and sat there in each other's embrace for some time.

A- Aren't we getting late for Reception?

S- Of course we are.

They chuckled and started getting ready.

Flashback ends.

Shivaay held Pinky's hands in his and Pinky looked at him in surprise.

S- I forgive you, Mom. If you did bad things then I also did the same. And I've no right to behave rude with you. I'm sorry Mom. I love you.

Pinky listened to him patiently and then burst into tears.

Shivaay hugged her and she cried in his embrace.

P- My son.

Shivaay hugged her more tightly.

They broke the hug and Pinky forwarded her hands towards Anika and hugged her.

P- Thank you for being with him, with us.

Anika smiled softly at her.

OmRi also smiled widely.

O- Choti maa, I think we should leave otherwise we'll miss our flight.

Pinky nodded her head.

S- Get well soon, Mom.

Pinky smiled.

Shivaay hugged Om and Anika hugged Gauri while Pinky pecked Shivika's forehead as she was sleeping on the couch.

They finally left for London.

Shivaay and Anika made Shivika lye down on her bed and were admiring their daughter.

Anika hugged Shivaay.

A- Thank you for being the best husband, son and father.

S- Thank you for being the World's best wife, mother and daughter-in-law.

Anika smiled at him.

S- You know, the other day, Princess was telling me that she wants a baby brother.

Anika looked at Shivaay in shock and she blushed.

Shivaay chuckled.

S- What do you think?

Anika just nodded her head in shyness and Shivaay picked her up in his arms.

She squealed in surprise and Shivaay took her to their room.
