Hola! Happy Halloween guys! I've got something to tell you guys. Some time ago, I had told you guys that I have an idea for a horror plot right? So, taking advantage of Halloween, I'm giving you guys the first look of the horror book. It's at the end of this chapter and yes I'll start the book once I complete Forget Me Not. Please do let me know what you guys think about it ;).

Shivika and Rikara went for shopping together. Rikara were happily choosing clothes and all but Shivika were just strolling around with them. Anika's mood was totally off because of what Shivaay did and his mood on the contrary was affected by hers. He couldn't see her being worried and disturbed like that. He knows that he messed up big time and also that he needs to do something to make her back to her normal self. But how?

Just then, Gauri showed a dress to them and suggested it for Anika. Shivaay took this chance to make her alright.

'That's lovely Gauri! Anika, what do you think?', he asked her.

She turned to glare at him and turned back to Gauri.

'It's too grand and heavy Gauri. Can you find me something simpler?', she requested in a dull tone, clearly not interested in whatever that's going on.

'Bhabhi??? Are you okay??? Why do you sound like your mood has been crushed??? It's your engagement tonight and there's not even a tinge of excitement on your face. Is everything okay?', Om questioned worriedly.

'Yeah, Ani... I also noticed it! Tell what's wrong with you!', Gauri instructed.

Shivaay looked at her worriedly. Both shared an awkward look. Suddenly, a smile crept up to Anika's face and she began laughing.

'Got you both!!!', she squealed in excitement.

'Huh?', all three of them looked at her confusedly.

'I was just playing a prank with you both. Shivaay is also in it. And finally you guys realized it!!!', she exclaimed while laughing.

Rikara sighed a relief. Gauri wanted to pinch Anika's ears to teach her a lesson but she moved away in the right moment and the girls began a chasing session which ended with Anika hiding behind Shivaay while Gauri was held back by Om. They then calmed down and continued shopping.

Shivaay chose an elegant, simple yet classy red dress for Anika in one of the shop. Rikara were impressed by his choice and they got her to try it up. She left with the dress and Gauri followed her to help. Shivaay and Om waited outside.

'Shivaay, is everything really okay?', Om questioned being doubtful still.

'Yeah! It's all good. She told you just now right. It was a prank. Now let's drop the topic and yeah, choose something for Gauri. By the time she comes back, be ready with a dress for her', Shivaay diverts the topic.

Soon both the brothers got busy in finding dress for Gauri. Om was rejecting every single suggestion of Shivaay and finally, he picked up a beige coloured dress. Both the brothers loved it. Just then, Gauri came there with huge smiles.

'Jiju! Are you ready to look at your bride??? Ohw,  and I must say this! What a great choice it was!!! So are uo ready?', she asked.

'Yeah, of course!', Shivaay replied with a clear tinge of enthusiasm in his voice.

Gauri pulled the curtains and revealed Anika who's wearing that dress that Shivaay chose for her. She was looking drop dead gorgeous in it.

Shivaay was awestruck upon looking at her. All he could do was smile. Right at the moment, Anika looked up at him and asked through her eyes if it's okay. He replied via his eyes that its perfect. A small smile curved up to her lips and she took the dress. Gauri also took the dress that Om has chose for her and they shopped clothes for all the women folk in their house there itself.

After that, they went for the guy's sherwani. Anika chose Shivaay a baby blue sherwani which complemented her dress well.

As the tailor was taking Shivaay's measurements to alter the Sherwani, Anika was watching him while leaning against the wall behind. Rikara on the other hand were busy choosing outfit for Om and the rest of the men folk. Shivaay looked up at her with a huge smile.

'Anika, thank you!', he said out to her.

'For what?', she asked unbelievably.

'For everything. For forgiving me and returning to be yourself! Thank you! I really appreciate it!', he told her being genuinely grateful.

The tailor was done by then and he left the couple alone there. Anika went near Shivaay and adjusted his collar properly.

'I haven't forgive you Shivaay! You've hurt me big time. I can't forgive you that easily. I'm doing all of this so that no one else knows that we are having dispute between us. I suggest you do the same as well', she told him coldly with a stern voice.

As she completes her sentence, tears were formed in her eyes and she turned away wiping them off. Shivaay held her by her wrist to stop her from going but she jerked it off and walked away towards Rikara.

'God! How do I appease her now? She's not even willing to talk to me', Shivaay thought to himself.

That evening, everything was set by the time the youngsters returned home. They were amused upon looking at the decorations. It was an outdoor engagement by the open space next to Anika's house. A small tent-like place was set up. White curtains with gold ribbons were the theme of the entire decoration. Gold firefly lights were added and the lightning of the place was pretty soft and lovely for the evening. It was very much simple but still elegant in its own way.

'Do you like it beta?', Jhanvi Aunty asked them.

'I just love it Aunty!!! It's amazing!!! Thank you so much!!!', Anika replied while hugging her tightly.

'Okay, okay. Chill. Let me get some air to breath!!! Now go and get ready. Go!!! You guys also go and get ready. We don't want to get late for our own family's function right?', Jhanvi Aunty instructed her and she left along with Rikara.

Shivaay was still standing there looking at Jhanvi. She smiled faintly at him and weent near him.

'Shivaay, go and get ready beta. You don't want to be late for your own engagement right?', she asked him in a very much lovingly and motherly manner.

Shivaay opened and closed his mouth several times but nothing came out of his mouth. He was speechless. He didn't know how to react. Jhanvi understood the situation her son is in and pulls him along with her into the house to get ready. Shivaay was shocked yet again when he entered the house. His father, Mr. Tej Singh Oberoi was helping out in moving things outside to the venue. Tej Uncle greeted him happily and urged him to go get ready quick. Shivaay just left being speechless and gets ready for his official engagement.

Shivaay and the rest of the family were already and awaited for Anika to come. Anika was brought to the venue in a very special manner by her most special people. She was ushered by Gauri and Saahil who were both holding candles in front of her. Anika walked in hand by hand with her father and Pinky Aunty was right behind them. Shakti Uncle brought Anika to Shivaay and gives her hand to his.

'I'm handing over my princess to you! I know you'll look after her very well!', Shakti Uncle exclaimed.

The engagement ceremony began. Shivaay adorns the same ring taht he had bought for her earlier into her ring finger while Anika adorns his ring finger with a platinum band which has a a small diamond embeded in the centre of it, perfectly complementing her ring which he got her.

Shivika got engaged in the presence of their parents and family. As soon as the ring ceremony was over, the music was turned on and everyone began dancing happily. Anika was happily enjoying everything while being seated in her place. Shivaay was undergoing some huge emotional turmoil in him and was unable to register whatever that is happening around him. He just went with the flow.

Shivaay was hesitating to start a conversation with Anika when the family pulled the couple to the dance floor for a couple's dance. Both shyed away initially, but when the music played, Shivaay forwaded his hand and Anika took it willingly. They began dancing to the song while being completely lost in each other's embrace.

PRECAP : Where would the wedding take place?
