Anika's speech at the awards function continued, Shivaay was feeling insecure because she acknowledged all family members except him, she did not reply to the host when he said that she's single.

Host: Miss Anika, before you continue your speech, we all would like to do something that everyone wanted to see from a long time.

Everyone looked at the host in confusion but smiled when he said "We would like to call Mr. Tej Singh Oberoi to bestow this honour to Superior 4 who have taken the business world by storm only in 5 years of their organisations's establishment"

Anika was more than happy to get this award from her Dad, she wanted to run and engulf Tej in a tight hug but she controlled her emotions and waited for him to come on the stage. Host gave him a trophy and he proudly presented it to the girls and shook their hands.

Tej requested for a mic from the host "All these girls represent hundreds of women of our country who were never blessed with luxuries but they proved their mettle and achieved great heights in many field. It is this kind of talent which makes us happy that our country's future is in safe hands. I congratulate them and hopefully I will get an opportunity to work with these brilliant girls in future". Everyone applauded and Tej walked away from the stage after mumbling "Princess, I will deal with you at home." She gulped in fear but ignored it for the moment to continue her speech

Annika smiled widely and she looked at her biggest supporters "I would also like to thank my Geeta maa, my younger brother Sahil and elder brother Akash BHAIYAA for all the support. if they were not by our side we would have never achieved this success." She moved the mic towards her sisters, all shouted "Thank you Maa, Sahil and Bhaiyaa/Akash"

This came as a shock for the detective, if not for his hat he could have ended up in a police station and that too for nothing, he looked at girls with a questioning glare only to get a smirk in return. Other one was still sulking because of his insecurities but Anika smirked at the host "Sweeheart, I'm so sorry but I have to break your heart about something you said earlier", host looked at her in confusion to know what's coming next?

Anika chuckled at his expressions "I'm already taken and I LOVE MY HUSBAND A LOT and he loves me like crazy so next time think before holding my hand. Believe me he can attack you anytime and you won't be able to stop him, I'm sure that he was glaring at you with murderous intent." She turned and looked at the host, he was looking a bit scared and then she looked at her man, she was not sure why he was grinning like a Cheshire Cat.

Host tried to ask something but she shook her head immediately "I will not entertain any question about my Husband or his family, we will soon make a public appearance and clear all your doubts".

Anika smiled widely at her sisters "Last but not the least our success couldn't have been possible without us sisters fighting together against every challenge, love you all my darlings, let's keep showing the world, why they should not mess with Superior Four. Thank you again for showering your love. Have a good night."

All the girls stepped down from the stage and to avoid any media commotion they were escorted into their car by their security team and cops. The crowd dispersed and moved towards dining area but Oberoi family decided that they will directly go to the mansion. They moved towards the exit but Rudy came back running and he yelled at his lost brother "Bhaiyaaaa..yehi khade rahoge kya poori raat, jaldi chalo sab chale gaye, bas hum teeno reh gaye" (Brooo, will you keep standing here for the whole night? Lets go, everyone has gone only three of us are left"). Rudy got puzzled when he saw his elder brother jumping like a kid and chanting in a sing tone "Rudy, she said she loves me, My Annika loves me, My Anika said she loves me"

Shivaay was totally shocked, he was assuming the worst and as usual Anika surprised him with her actions. He has always ignored her in the past because of her status, so his traitor brain confused him. What if Anika also believes that she is richer than him now and maybe she is not ready to reveal her marital status to the world.

His thoughts also said that his girl was a self made Billionaire and her networth is more than the current combined worth of Oberoi Family, despite everything how come she is so humble and amazing? It's not easy to change the thought process and values ingrained since childhood, so he obviously agreed with his traitor brain.

Rudy was confused, his Bhabhi never leaves a chance to make his Brother feel special then why is he behaving like a maniac, he voiced out his confusion "Apko ajtakk doubt tha Bhabhi ke pyaar pe?" (You still have a doubt?). Om jumped in to save the situation, he kept a palm on Shivaay's mouth lest he will start shouting again and attract the attention of crowd, he mumbled in his ear "What are you doing Shivaay?"

Shivaay licked Om's hand and Om glared at him in disgust, then he started again "Did you hear it Ommm, she said it in everyone's presence...Hayeeeee, she loves me so much" and he kept a hand on his heart, while pretending to faint.

OmRu were finding hard to control their mad brother so they dragged him away while keeping a hand on his mouth. If the cops would have seen them they will surely assume that the Great Shivaay Singh Oberoi was being kidnapped by his brothers. Om yelled at Rudy "Call his medicine" without any delay Rudy dialed the emergency services "Mediccc...ooops..I mean Bhabhiiiii"

Anika got worried after hearing his impatient tone "Kya hua Rudy, itne pareshan kyu ho" (What happened Rudy, why are you sounding tensed) but his reply made her laugh loudly "Bhabhi apke Billu ji pagal ho rahe hai yahan, apne Majnu Singh Oberoi ko kuch boliye" (Bhabhi your Billu Ji has lost his mind, please control your Romeo Singh Oberoi")

Annika controlled her laughter to listen to his madness, she heard him chanting in background "My Anika said she loves me" "My Anika said she loves me". Annika laughed at the antics of her crazy man and said to Rudy "Ru phone unke kaan k pass le jao" (Rudy take the phone near his ears) and he did it without any delay.

Then she said something to him, Shivaay said "Hmmm" three times and widened his eyes in amazement. After cutting the call he kept a finger on his lips and went all quiet while grinning from ear to ear. OmRu were surprised, what could have Anika said to this crazy man, minutes back he was behaving like a love struck idiot but now he is sitting like a saint.

Some moments back

Anika on call: Shivaaayy

Shivaay: Hmmm

Annika: If you stay quiet I will do something special for you. Do you want to know about your gift?

Shivaay: Hmmm

Annika: Tonight I will be staying at Oberoi mansion. I will come to meet you at 1 am. Do you want to know what I will wear?

Shivaay: Hmmm

Annika lowered her tone a few decibels and it sounded too seductive for Shivaay to handle "Remember you gifted me a black net saree. I will wear that tonight, if you will be a good boy you can help me in taking it off. Now keep a finger on your lips and stop troubling my devars"

She disconnected the call without waiting for his reply and smiled while hugging her phone, this will be a huge step in their relationship and she's finally ready for it.

So this is how she tamed her crazy in love Kanji eyed cat.

After sometime at Oberoi Mansion

Whole Oberoi family was desperately waiting in the main hall. When ShivOmRu entered, everybody looked at them with wide smiles and started moving towards them with excitement. All three boys stood there with wide smiles and open arms but they were pushed away from the door and all they could hear was -

"O my mata my heera bahu" (O my God, my precious DIL)

"I'm so proud of you my Princesses"

"I'm so happy for you"

"Puttar, you all made us proud today"

Boys were shocked with all the ignorance they received from their own family. They were just coming out of their first shock but they were pushed again and someone said "Move away, let my daughter come inside."

Om was the first one to come out of shock "Did they really unsee their sons?"

Shivay acknowledged Om's statement "Lagta toh aisa hi hai, ye pehli family hai jo apne bete ko dhakka maar kar apni bahu ko ghar ke andar laye hai" (I think so, this is the first family which pushed away their own son to welcome their Daughter in law)

Rudy was suddenly reminded of his childhood "Bhaiya, ap log mujhe bolte the main adopted hu, aj aisa feel ho raha hai ap dono bhi adopted hi ho" (Brother, you used to tell me that I'm adopted but it seems that you both were also adopted from the same orpahange") which made his brothers yell in unison "Shut up Rudra"

Rudy recalled the events of the evening, nothing can keep him away from congratulating his Bhabhi "Ap dono shut up, shut up karte raho, main chala apni Bhabhi k pass" (You both keep chanting shut up, I'm going to meet my Bhabhi). ShivOm again felt betrayed "Ye ladka humesha humein ditch kyu karta hai" (Why he is always ready to ditch us?)

Rudy rushed towards Anika, he immediately lifted her in a bone crushing hug and twirled her around "My beauty with Brains wali Bhabhi, I'm so happy, mujhe kya pata tha ki humari business class ki jo case study hai, wohi meri Bhabhi niklegi. Ab main apne saare friends ko bataunga jaake" (My Beauty with brains Bhabhi, I'm so happy. I was not aware that my business class case study will turn out to be my Sister in law, now I will tell all my friends. I'm so proud of you my Bhabhi)

Anika was out of breath with Rudy's special celebrations and everyone was chuckling at his enthusiasm. He has always been attached to Anika more than others, he twirled her again. She laughed and tapped his shoulder "Acha baba, mujhe ab neeche toh utaaro" (Do whatever you want, but let me down), Dadi also said at the same time "Haan puttar neeche toh utaar usse" (Put her down) but he denied immediately and kept twirling her around "Nahi Dadi, aj main bahut khush hu" (No Grandma, I'm very happy today)

Dadi's next sentence earned her some questioning glares "Haan puttar jab mujhe pehli baar pata chala jata tab mera bhi yehi haal tha, bas main aise utha nahi sakti thi" (Yes dear, when I came to know for the first time, I was also in same condition but I cannot lift her like this) Dadi bit her tongue and Annika facepalmed mentally after noticing everyone's angry gaze.

Tej looked at her suspiciously "Matlab apko pehle se pata tha?" (It means you were aware about it?), followed by Pinky "O my mata, aapne bataya kyu nahi" (O my God, why did you hide it?)

Shivaay was also curious like his family members, he looked at Anika, she was busy in mumbling her favourite lines "Phail Gaya Raita" when Dadi said "Sorry" to no one in particular. She pointed a finger towards Anika and then everybody looked at Anika, she was standing there with closed eyes and muttering something incoherently.

Anika finally gathered some courage to open her eyes, only to meet everyone's questioning gaze but some puppy faces and they melted easily. She mentally thanked Rudy for teaching her this trick "I'm sorry everyone, hum sab log apko surprise dena chahte the aur abhi baaki log nahi aaye, kyunki unki meetings hai" (I'm sorry everyone, we wanted to surprise you and others are not here because they're busy in some meetings). She received the first reply from Tej "Princess, ye surprise nahi shock tha" (This wasn't a surprise, it was shock) but he melted when Anika pouted and said to him "Dad, I love you na"

Tej looked at her proudly, he was already in love with this girl's qualities and now he is extremely proud of her achievements too "I love you too my princess, I'm so proud of you my girl".

Anika hugged him tightly, this man knows how to give her unconditional support. When she started coming to Oberoi Mansion as SSO's wedding planner she was always scared of him and now she is the only one who can mock him anytime and she's sure that he will only end up saying "I Love you my Princess".

Shivaay looked at Dadi and asked his next query "Dadi aapko kabse pata hai?" (When did you find it out Grandma?) and Dadi's reply made him glare at Anika again "Mujhe to Delhi mein hi pata chal gaya tha phir Anika ne kaha ki kisi ko batana nahi, isliye toh wo 2 feet doori wala rule nikala tha" (I came to know about it when I was in Delhi but Anika requested to hide their identity, that's why I declared the 2 feet distance punishment"

Anika looked at Dadi, why is she so interested in getting her favourite grand daughter murdered by a raging wild cat and she knows she will surely be dead when Shivaay asked "Matlab ap logo ki planning thi mere khilaaf?" (It was your planning against me?). Anika looked at him with Puppy eyes but he glared at her again, she knows it will take many efforts to convince him and she is a woman with a plan, 1:00 am it is for her Bagad billa but first he she has to deal with others.

Rudy was standing quietly till now, it was time for him to complain "Bhaiya aap chup raho...Bhabhiiiii main apse bahut gussa hu, ap apne crime partner ko toh bata deti" (Bro, let me talk first...Bhabhi, I'm very angry, at least you have shared it with your crime partner)

Shivaay was happy, finally Rudy was in his team, he whispered to Om "Finally he asked something to his pyaari bhabhi, warna humesha party badal leta hai" (Finally he asked something to his dear Bhabhi, he is always the first one to ditch us)

Anika looked around, time to put her first plan in action "Rudy, check right side pocket of your jacket". He got confused but he did what he was told and pulled out a key "Congratulations for your new Ecosse Founder's Edition Titanium chassis bike." Then he gave a loud kiss on Anika's cheek "Its okay Bhabhi, I love you sooooo much. I'm sure aapne kuch soch kar hi kia hoga" (Its okay Bhabhi, I love you sooooo much. I'm sure you have an expolanation for it)

..

..

..

..

ShivOm were again looking at their traitor brother, who was fraternizing with the other party and they don't even know what he got in exchange this time. Shivaay muttered to Om "Phir dhoka dia isne humein" (He has again ditched us), Om shook his head in disbelief "Ye toh aisa hi hai, Koi nahi main tumhare saath hoon. MAIN TUJHE KABHI DHOKHA NAHI DOONGA" (He was always like this, don't worry I'm in your team and I will never ditch you)

Shivaay was happy, at least one of his brothers is not a traitor "I trust you Om" and next second Om walked towards Anika, he cleared his throat loudly "Bhabhi, apko chupaane ki kya zarurat thi?" (Bhabhi, what was the need to hide it?) Anika smiled at him, time to bring out her next weapon was here, she whispered to Om "Check your mailbox"

Om checked his phone and to his amazement he has just received a mail to inform that his favourite artist Francois Le Borne has offered him a position to assist in his next project at French Art Gallery and at the end of this project he can take any of his two paintings as a gift. Om's next words were "I agree with you Rudy, Bhabhi samajhdaar hai, kuch soch kar hi kia hoga" (I agree with you Rudy, Bhabhi is wise and she must have thought about it thoroughly)

Shivaay stood baffled while glaring at his traitor brothers and a victorious smirk on Annika's face was not helping at all. Anika called someone inside and then the 5 elders also grinned widely. Dadi received a beautiful jewellery set, Tej got diamond studded cuffs from South Africa, Shakti was gifted a rare antique statue of Goddess Durga and the ladies were given an option to go on a shopping spree and girl vacation to Europe.

Anika cleared her throat and looked at   everyone "Mujhe ap logo ko surprise dena tha isliye karna pada aur family ka naam isliye announce nahi kia kyunki pehle Oberoi Industries apni financial position strong kar le, tab hum public announcement karenge. Tab takk aap sab logo se request hai ki humara relation public matt kijiye" (I wanted to surprise you all and family's name was not announced because we want Oberoi Industries to gain back their financial standing and then we will make a public announcement. Till then please hide that I'm related to you all)

Tej smiled at her widely and patted her back "Princess we are proud of you, but humein abhi announcement karne se koi problem nahi hai" (Princess we are proud of you but we don't have a problem making an announcement)

Shakti also nodded happily "Haan beta, tumhara hakk banta hai" (Yes dear, you have full rights on us)

Anika had tears in her eyes, Shivaay was thinking that she's sad, he was about to say something but Anika beat him to it "Papa, Dad I understand but main ye nahi chahti ki kal ko aap logo ko koi kuch galat kahe. Agar naam announce ho jata toh Shivaay aur aap dono ki saari mehnat ko log yehi kahenge ki apni Bahu se financial support lia hoga. Main nahi chahti ki hum behno ki tarah aapko bhi logo ke taane sunn ne pade ki aapne ameer logo ka fayda uthaya hai. Please samajhne ki koshish kariye (Papa, Dad I understand but I don't want anyone to badmouth about you all. If I would have announced your names then all your efforts would have been undermined by everyone saying that you must have taken financial support from your Daughter in law. I don't want you all to hear taunts which we sisters have heard throughout our life about taking favours from rich people. Please understand Papa and Dad)

Tej pulled her in a side hug "Princess, ek hi din mein kitni baar humein proud feel karaogi? But always remember we will never be ashamed if people said such things about us, we are proud to have a daughter like you" (Princess, how many times you will make us feel proud of your thinking? But always remember we will never be ashamed if people said such things about us, we are proud to have a daughter like you)

Shakti also caressed her head "Haan beta, you are our pride, we will be happy to associate our name with you"

Shivaay was silent till now but he never wants Anika to feel left out "Anika, you are a part of this family, phir mehnat ka tag hum logo ko miley ya tumhe, iss se koi farak nahi padta (Anika, you are a part of this family, what's the difference of you will get the credit for all the hard work)"

Dadi looked at everyone, its time for her to take a decision as the Matriarch of Oberoi family for the future of family's happiness "Tum log sab sahi keh rahe ho lekin ye decision mera bhi hai. Past mein hum logo ne bina soche samjhe bahut saare decisions liye par ab main nahi chahti ki phir se kisi ki wajah se baad mein jaake koi clashes ho. Abhi hum logo ke beech sab sahi hai, par aage ka kisi ko nahi pata aur business paise power ki wajah se phir se sab barbaad ho jaye, main bardasht nahi kar paungi" (You all are right but this is also my decision. In the past we have taken many decisions without thinking about them but now I don't want any clashes because of some rash decisions. At present everything is fine but nobody can say about the future of our relationships, hopefully they will be good but I don't want them to turn sour again because of money and business)

Anika smiled and looked at Dadi, she's always the first one to understand her perspective, she cannot be more thankful to her all time supporter.

Anika received a call from someone, she was about to yell at the person on other side but she noticed everyone was looking at her keenly because of her angry expressions.

Anika stepped aside, she was furious and yelling on call "Malhotra, agar ye baat bahar gayi toh tum jaante nahi ho ki tumhari saath kya ho sakta hai...Galat insaan ko dhamki de rahe ho Malhotra, bas 10 minute rukk phir dekh tere saath kya hota hai" (Malhotra if this news gets leaked then be ready to face my wrath... You're trying to blackmail the wrong person, just wait for 10 minutes and you will be the first one to hear tonight's breaking news)

Family was shocked to see the way she was dealing with the caller, business really brings a lot of changes in everyone's personality. They could only hear her side of the conversation but it was enough to understand that something troublesome might have happened.

Anika was seconds away from throwing her phone but Rudy held her hand "Bhabhi, aap Bhaiya ke saath thoda kamm raha karo warna aap bhi phone todna seekh jaogi" (Try to stay away from brother or you will learn his habit of breaking phones).

Tej looked at her worried expressions and asked if everything was fine, she was about to say something but she received another call and this time she smirked evilly "Do it and send me a message, I'm with family right now."

Everyone looked at her evil smirk, now they know that the problem is solved but nobody dared to ask any questions. After some time Shakti checked his phone when a news article popped up, he snapped his head towards Anika and looked at her in amusement. She was busy in showing her martial arts skills to Rudy and laughing loudly about something Om might have said like she is not responsible for the latest trending news on media.

Shakti showed the news article to Tej and Shivaay, both mirrored Shakti's expressions while looking at Anika. She turned around when she felt strong gaze on her and understood what might have happened. She shrugged her shoulder "Malhotra was blackmailing me with an old footage, when I accepted to spend a night with Shivaay and Sundari bua did lots of drama in front of media. My team took care of other media houses but Malhotra was looking for special treatment."

Shivaay looked at her in amusement "So you destroyed him in one hour?" This gained everyone's attention but her reply made them laugh "No, he was destroyed in half an hour, you came to know about it in one hour. His news channel and business wasn't doing well and he tried to reap benefit from that old scandal. All news channels are now aware, they know what can happen if they try to run that footage or talk anything about my past with OF"

Tej patted her back and looked at Shivaay who was still trying to process her working style, people were right when they said that nobody can mess with AGCS and go unscathed.

Tej chuckled while thinking, they should be really happy that Anika is by their side otherwise old SSO would have left no stone unturned to challenge her and maybe she would have destroyed their business too. It will be great to see both the powerhouses clashing in some board meeting. He quickly stopped what he was thinking, this Billu Billi couple is crazy and capable of anything, he can just hope that his wish shouldn't come true.

..

..

Precap:

Clock struck 1 and Billu's heart was pounding against his chest waiting for his lady love, Clock struck 2 and Billu was getting hyper, then the clock struck 3 but there was no sign of Anika, he was angry, frustrated, annoyed and what not.
