Hey guys, I'll want to apologize beforehand. After this, I may not be able to update every night like I always do. Exams are upcoming and I'm seriously having very long days. Sorry about that! This will go on until January. Once I'm on my break, you guys will be getting everyday updates as usual if everything goes on just right ;).

And yes, are we all eagerly waiting to die of hotness tomorrow??? Excited Adda!

Okay! Enough of my talks, let's get the chapter started before I receive chameli, chandni and rotten tomatoes!

Anika frees herself from Shivaay and wriggles out of his embrace.

'What happened? I thought you wanted some filmy romance', he asked her.

'You know what? You will always be the unromantic Sadu! Who does this? Huh? You held me is good that's romance but after that... what exactly was that huh? Oh jaana??? For God's sake!!! Don't spoil our song with your toad-like voice. And to add to this you even asked if it's filmy romantic!!! Nothing can be done with you!!! Unromantic Boring Singh Oberoi!!!', she yelled out all frustrated at him and tries to walk away but he held her by her wrist and pulled her closer to him.

'Boring, I might be! But don't call me unromantic. Have you forgotten the proposal just a little while ago? Huh? (She blushes but turns away so that he won't be able to see it). Blushing, eh? (He teased her seeing her turning pink) And yes, don't call me unromantic ever again. Otherwise...', he was interrupted by her.

'Otherwise what??? Huh??? The proposal was sweet! I agree. But you're unromantic!! You can't do romance!', Anika hurt his male ego.

'I just warned you but you won't listen right???', Shivaay gritted in anger and scooped her in his arms.

He kind of slightly threw her on the bed and before she could get up, he was on top of her, caging her with both his hands.

'What are you doing???', she stammered.

'I warned you but you didn't listen. Now face my wrath!', he exclaimed and began rubbing his stuble against her soft cheeks.

'It tickles!!! Hihihi... Shivaaaaay!!!', Anika called out as she was giggling and managed to push him to the other side of the bed. Both looked at each other with a michevious smile.

'Okay now stop calling me unromantic, deal?', he asked her and she nodded in agreement.

'That's like my girl!', he said out and took her hand in his and brought it forward to his mouth and gave her a small kiss on it.

'Just a minute! I'm wearing your shirt!  Then how came you have one as well? Huh?', Anika questioned him.

'Woh!!! My suitcase is still here. So I changed into this shirt', Shivaay answered back casually.

'Then why didn't you give me a new shirt to wear instead??? Huh??', Anika asked as she faked her anger.

'You didn't give me a chance to say it! You just strip my shirt off and ran into the bathroom with it!', Shivaay replied.

'Okay! Whatever! But you wouldn't know the kind of feeling I'm getting when I'm in your shirt! Somewhat it makes me feel complete', Anika replied with a huge smile.

Shivaay smiled at her silliness and pulled her onto him, making her head settle down perfectly on her custom-made pillow.

And within minutes, both of them went into a deep slumber. They were finally sleeping well after a while of 16 days. They finally feel like they have returned to the place they belong; each other's embrace.

The next day, Anika got up first. She looked up to see a fast asleep Shivaay and pecked on his forehead after ruffling his hair a little. After that, she went into the kitchen. She was quite startled to find some shopping bags on the dining table. In two of the bags, there were clothes for her. And in other two, there were some grocceries. She wonders how he made this happen when he didn't once left her the whole night yesterday.

'Come on Anika! It's SSO we're talking about!', she thought to herself and takes the clothes to the washroom to get freshed. After freshening up, she found Shivaay still sleeping.

'He must be having jet lag! I think I should just let him sleep and make breakfast for the both of us!', she thought to herself and went to the kitchen right away.

In a little while, Anika came into their room with a tray in her hand. She went upto him and places another kiss on his temple.

She then went upto his ears and whispered very softly.

'Shivaay! Baby! Shiv... please wake up! It's late already and you need to eat something. Shivaay!', finally he gained himself from the slumber and wakes up rubbing his eyes lazily.

'Good morning!', Anika greeted him with a huge smile on her face.

'Good morning!', he replied in a dull manner, still half-sober and half sleepy.

'I made you breakfast Shivaay! Taste it and tell me how it is!', she exclaimed excitedly and places the tray on his lap.

'Wow!!! It looks wonderful love! Thank you!', he thanked her and began digging into the meal in front of him. He was mentally preparing himself for some unexpected dashes of salt or sugar or dome abnormality in the food but to his surprise, everything was in its right ratio.

'It's wonderful!!! Seriously!', he exclaimed and began relishing the food.

'It has to be! I got a 15 days cooking lessons from someone special when you weren't here!', she revealed.

'Really??? You didn't even inform me about it! And who's that special person???', Shivaay complained.

'It's a surprise! And that special person wants to keep it a secret', she added his curiosity about the special person.

'Okay fine! Keep it a secret! By the way, how come you are so interested in cooking all of the sudden? I remember Pinky Aunty telling me how you used to escape whenever she wants to teach you cooking', and Question Singh Oberoi popped up.

'I didn't had a reason to learn cooking before! But now I do!!!', she grinned widely.

'Really??? What is it???', he threw a question on her again.

'Woh Dadi told me that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, dp that's why to make way to your heart... eh... eh... no... no... I just... eermm... I wanted to cook... that's all!', she blurted everything and covered up in a cute manner.

Shivaay noticed that and wanted to tease her because of it but drops the idea when he heard her stomach rumbling. He then realized that she hasn't ate anything yet and began feeding her as well.

And that was how they spent the whole day with each other. A little teasing game here and there. A little romance with tiny arguments and lots of love.

They resumed work the next day and one whole week was gone with meetings and workload. Despite the busy schedule, both made sure to spend at least 1 hour daily with each other outside their workplace. At times, certain arguments gets a little heaty but the calmer one at that time managed it preventing the argument from turning into a fight. Office staffs began talking about Shivika. Some weird rumours by the jealous folks. Some even taunt Anika on her face. Shivaay would have fired them all but Anika didn't allow him to do so. She reassured him that people who talk, will always talk. We need to be the smart ones and ignore them. Even if she potrayed herself to be strong and happy in front him, somewhat, deep down he knows that all these things were making her morale down apart from making her hurt.

That day, as usual, after work, Anika gets into Shivaay's cabin as he has not only become her fiance but also her personal driver. It's like a routine. He'll pick her up every morning and send her back every evening. But that evening, Shivaay wasn't there in his cabin when Anika entered. There was a note on the table instead. She walked upto it and picked it up.

Dear Panika,

I know that you are going to be very worried when you don't find me in the cabin. Don't worry! Keep calm. There was an emergency, so I had to fly as soon as possible. About the rumours, all will set down as soon as I return. I'll call you around 10 p.m. later. Stay awake Lady Khumbkaran. I will get back to you as soon as possible my love! Till then, I'll miss you and keep on loving you!

Always Yours,
Sadu Singh Oberoi.

'Where did he go but then???', Anika wondered to herself as she keeps the letter inside her bag and takes her phone out.

On the other hand, Shivaay is seen boarding his private jet along with Khanna. His phone rings and of course, it was his love, Anika. He cancels the call and turns flight mode on his phone.

'Sorry Anika! But this is very important for us and I can't afford to tell this to you!', he thinks to himself.

And the jet takes-off.

PRECAP : NONE.

Okay, stop cursing me! Here we go.

PRECAP : Shivaay was walking on the street when suddenly someone hugged him from the back.
