Last times when they distanced from each other this pain was not there but this time a slight pain is making them insane. She as decided is leaving with Sid to New York. He tried, he really tried hard to stop her but she was adamant to take the actual matter out in no time. She applied for a long break from her office and she was granted one, as being a regular employee it really helps a lot to get leave when you need it badly. Her major concern was her parents and Sahil, Ishana is not there and she is also leaving. Rudra and Priyanka has promised her to take care of her parents and she is really thankful to them. She bid her parents bye and climbed up on car to leave for airport. Major thing she will miss is her and Shivay's alone time after her office.

It has become a routine for her to take Shivay to a park and help him to walk and he has really improved well though not completely yet. Getting up at an instant from wheelchair is still a problem. Leaving that he is able to walk for small distances without help now, but long distances triggers his knee pain and his physiotherapist, sorry the doctor aunty, has said it is good sign in one sense. He is gradually getting back his sensations near his knee portion.

Shivay has promised Anika that he would definitely come to airport to see her off and her eyes are continuously searching for him. She knew he is still not recovered but she couldn't stop her selfish desires to rise up inside her.

"Hey... hi..." Sid gladly greeted Shivay walking up to him.

He was on his wheelchair and this made Anika a bit low but she will have to give him last piece of strength before she goes and for that...

"Walk to me Shivay, I won't bid you bye if you come towards me on wheelchair" her demand was adamant and he would even die for her.

He tried to get up by his own but slipped at the first try, Rudra extended his hand to help him but he nodded no and Rudra stepped back.

Second try also went in vain, this pained Anika that he still needs help to stand up and she won't be there to help him for few days.

"Get up Shivay" she did not allow her tears to flow down looking at the pain of her man rather she encouraged him knowing he would do, if not for himself then definitely for her.

"Get up Shivay" she repeated and he had to, he stood straight without anyone's help and took a small step towards her.

Rudra was shocked and happy and in tears to see his brother getting up alone. Anika was proud and Sid was happy. Shivay neared the woman leaving inches gap.

"I said you can do it" she smiled letting the tear drop traverse down.

"I had to do it" he took the drop over her finger and smiled for no reason.

"Thank You" she had no other words and badly wanted him to initiate a hug.

"Will miss you" he said and as she wanted wrapped her close to his heart that soothed their heart.

"I won't miss you, Sid will be there" she joked without even knowing that it really has affected him and possessiveness took over.

"No need, my side of missing will be enough for both of us" he said trying to not show that he was hurt, after all he can't see her off with a sad face.

"Uhh-uhh good, listen take medicines at time and date you make excuses to not go to physiotherapist, Rudra or Om will take you there" they were still in hug while she said all these.

Om... Om is seen no where at the mansion these days. After all his long time friend Gauri D'souza has come and she is an important part to him so he will have to stay with her everytime. Gauri and Om are childhood friends and both of them shared a very special friendship. Initially Oberoi family members thought Om and Gauri will confess love to each other but then Ishana came into picture and assumptions changed, but now Om is all busy with his Gauri.

"Where are you lost?" Anika jerked Shivay lightly and took him out from the thought zone of I'em and Gauri.

Shivay realised that she had broke the hug already and is looking at him.

"Don't eat Sid's head up and have control on eating over there" he knew how much she loves food so he had to warn this.

"Jaisi aapki aagya, as you say my lord" she said and smiled.

He too smiled looking her folding hands and bowing to prove him as her lord.

"We will get late now Miss. Mukherjee, let's go" Sid came forward and held Anika's shoulder.

Shivay has no hard feeling towards Sid but these friendly actions of him makes Shivay insecure at times and he badly hated that. His possessiveness triggered a level up.

"Anika" he held her hand firmly and made her look towards him.

"Yeah... you want to say something?" she asked innocently thinking he would ask about the case maybe.

He leaned and placed his lips over her forehead and they closed their eyes. His legs was paining by then but the calmness his heart got after feeling her as his own has surpassed any other pain.

He thought she would push him but she didn't and she smiled.

"Bye" she greeted after he left her with contended smile curving his lips up.

This small touch will help him to stay alive until she returns. And this small touch will help her to re-think about their marriage until she sees his face again.

She misses that naughty grin over his face and to get that back only one thing she is needed to do and that is to prove that Stella did everything intentionally and he is purely innocent.

For the last time she turned back to look at him and moved her lips throwing a flying kiss and winked.

"Haawwww" Shivay heard Rudra's gasp and he couldn't help but blush and Anika looked forward smiling widely.

"Bhaiya, your's one is going to be death of your's for sure. She is so bold" Rudra himself didn't knew he said these words while his hands were busy cupping his mouth.

"Shut up, she is elder to you" this sentence brought back little borther's senses and he helped his brother to sit over the wheelchair.

Well teasing session followed the whole night.

------------------------------

"Hello Mrs. Agarwal, how is Sahana now?" a caring and mature voice made big brother came out of his thoughts and look into the direction where stood a figure in formals.

"Okay... listen did you get the milk or should I..." the formally dressed man stopped, Shivay understood maybe the woman at other side has cut him down in middle.

"Ohh fine... when is doctor's appointment? Okay, I will be there. Sahana needs me, she loves me equally then what is my mistake... arre... relax... I will maintain distance, okay bye" he cut the call and turned towards Shivay.

"Sahana... nice name" Shivay complimented.

"Yeah... she is too cute and equally naughty" Rudy boy complained like a father, a responsibility can change a baby boy into fatherly figure but this side he wasn't even the father and the mother actually tries to push him away always.

"If possible please bring Soumya to our place someday, I would love to know her" Shivay smiled. Rudra reciprocated the smile and went away checking his tie.

Being a handsome figure he has already become the hot topic for gossip of young girls at office, but unlike his character he is focused on his work... determined to prove himself.

While on the other side Mr. Shivay Singh Oberoi is missing his woman as it had been a long week after she went away to New York.

------------------------------

"No... Stella please cooperate" young lady asked while detective Sid looked straight into her.

"Believe me I just... I don't know anything about my hubby's death... why would I kill him?" Stella explained with tears in eyes.

Innocent people will believe her but these two person who are actually a bit intelligent didn't melt at her tears.

"You had an eye over Shivay Singh Oberoi" Anika felt a tinge of jealousy rising in her while Sid asked specifically this question.

"Not exactly" Stella looked down, maybe ashamed or something else.

*Tring Tring*

Anika's phone buzzed flashing Indian number, maybe Shivay. She has not saved any number on her new sim card.

"Hello" she made her way out of the room picking up the call.

"When are you going to return?" possessive voice made her lips curved up.

"We are still trying to collect clues Shivay... I don't know exactly but Sid said that probably it would take a week or two more" she could hear him murmur something from the other side.

"Are you feeling bad that you didn't get the chance to come" she tried to play tough.

"I am... now I have nothing to hide from you so let me be true, it affects me a lot when you are not close to me... now it is affecting me because you are there with Sid, yeah he is your long time friend but somewhere it pains inside my heart knowing that you must be smiling at his silly jokes and definitely not missing me" his broken words made her heart dance in joy for minutes but the joy is covered with pain.

"I will be there soon" she tried to sound promising to make him smile.

"I know you are there for me, but then... then... why am I fearing that Sid will woo your heart and you will never come back to me" he has hid all these feelings until but now he got a strength to let her know that he is missing her.

He thought he has that right. Something correctly jammed up in his heart and it synced with his brain and a mixture of feeling got his goosebumps up every night he slept. 

"I will return soon B..." she held back the urge to call him Bub.

"Promise me you won't be much close to Sid" he had no right to ask this promise but he did, though he feared the next moment that she will shout stating she is an independent woman and she can do anything stuff but she gasped rather.

"I am here for you... only... for... you" her breath exhaled the last three words. His goosebumps betrayed him and it stood up.

He was pleasured that she is gaining trust over him but he still wants to do something to woo her correctly so that no storm separates them apart again.

"Come back soon" he didn't allow his voice to sound hoarse because of the feeling his body is facing.

"Bye" she cut down the call fearing to listen to his erratic breathing that was doing something to her.

The day passed and that night Mr. Shivay Singh Oberoi dreamt of him and his Anika. The dream was enough to make him feel more elated but will Anika's parents accept him as their son-in-law ever? Next morning this question haunted him but now according to him he has waited enough, so he should definitely plan something special to propose her for marriage. It is getting seriously difficult for him to accept dreams of the girl who rules him now.

------------------------------  

So... What about Stella? According to you all is she the culprit or someone else? I am also trying to figure out though and about ShivIka... Hehehuhuhaha... I had naughty ideas but didn't pen it down *tongue out*
