Sitting over Anika's bed and staring at her fixing her hairs is making Mr. Desperate Singh Oberoi much more desperate. Controling his urge to hug her he got up and smiled looking at her through the mirror.

"Are you going down?" Anika asked pulling out few curls at the left side and fixing the entire hair over right side.

"Yeah, here the temperature is too hot to handle" he smirked unknowing to him and smiled later.

Anika understanding his point blushed and looked down and then mouthed a good bye gathering all her courage. He walked towards the door to go down.

"Hey, stop stop, what are you doing? Why are you going from here?" thank God Anika stopped him before the biggest blunder he was going to do, afterall they cannot do such blunders on the cost of teasing of any kind.

"What happened?" he asked seriously and then his naughty mind alarmed him of being naughty "you don't want me to go from here, baby?" she gasped listening to the last statement but hiding her blush and trying to put up a stern face she gave a serious look, at least she thought that look to be serious but for Mr. Romeo Singh Oberoi it turned out to be cute.

"Why would I want that? I was just saying that don't go from there, because if anyone sees you going out from my room then they would tease us very badly. Please go down from the window" and that was what Mr. Naughty Singh Oberoi wanted, an indirect permission for him to use the window as their meeting pathway.

"Dare you plan to enter into my room from the window ever again" she as if reading his thoughts spoke out.

He nodded with his most cute mischievous grin and like a Romeo climbed down the pipe, much to their relief the pipe was dry. He waved a bye and blew a kiss in air and winked and then went away from the particular spot to enter into the house, as if entering just now after finishing all his official works. But a pair of eyes watched everything and blew hot breaths in air and left the spot.

This side Anika was smiling uncontrollable remembering his flying kiss and wink. She was just waiting for the call from her mother to go to the fixed venue where their sangeet is planned. Wait and wait, the only thing left in her life for all the functions of her own marriage. It seemed unfair to her, that it is her marriage and she is not allowed to go out and speak to people like everyone else is doing, rather she is asked to sit quietly and check her makeup every ten minutes to see that the bride is looking most beautiful. While everyone is dying to see Shivay's expression over Anika's get over, she is just dying to hug him once more. What has he done to her? She smiled remembering the way he jumped in few moments back.

"Anika beta... are you done? Please come out, Shivay has come" at last her mother called her informing that the groom is here, as if she don't know that the groom is here.

For a moment she felt proud because she knew the exact time her groom landed inside her room but her mother just got to know about his arrival. Thinking so she opened the door in a harsh pull in excitement and was about to jump out when Ishana pushed her inside checking her out.

"What are you doing Ishu?" Anika got irritated by the sudden push, she stumbled and her back hit the wall.

"Ohh sorry sorry, listen give me muh dikhayi amount and I would leave you" she grinned extending her hand for the amount.

She waited while Anika took time to understand the exact meaning of Ishu's words. After grasping that Ishana is asking for money to let her go down she looked at Ishana with double irritated look as compared to the last time. Without wasting a second she pulled out a two thousand rupees note and gave it to Ishana to listen that it was less. She was shocked to see her sister asking so much money from her suddenly. Is it the same sister who always refused to take money from her?

"Arre, give me one more two thousand rupees note and happily go and check out your Shivay ji" Ishana smiled mischievously not knowing the fact that the bride and the groom has ready seen each other, poor girl.

After giving Ishana one more big amount note she walked out of her room, let's say ran out from the spot. But the question of why her sister suddenly asked for money remained stuck inside her head.

Winning the bet Ishana went towards Rudra and showed him the notes, Rudra too showed her the notes and both of them smiled. Something is really up. Soumya saw them exchanging mischievous glance and walked towards them to ask the matter but something inside her stopped her and she went back to see the transport arrangement for everyone who are going to the venue from Anika's place.

As the time passed everyone paired up for special dances and then a competition between boys and girls. Not to forget that elders and the bride and the groom is also included. Daadi is the judge, let's compliment her as a strict one as she sat with papers for writing scores. Om went to Ishana and extended his hand to ask her for a dance, he expected her to walk away saying a no but she took his hand and smiled looking at him. They went to the stage and danced, later Rudra asked Soumya for a dance but she refused apologising, he understanding her problem went and asked another friend of his and swayed through the song. Similarly all the elders danced with their respective partners and marked the function as the most funny one until then. Anika's mehendi was as well completed by the end of all the couple dances. Mr. Shivay Singh Oberoi is eager to see his name on her hand and in between all these Daadi announced the competition. Everyone together walked down to the dance floor and the competition blew away in air as they danced together matching up rhythms and swaying their feet with utmost happiness.

The guests blessed the couple and prayed for their ever happiness and started to go back to their hotel rooms respectively when elders decided to leave the couple alone for an hour. And strictly they announced that they would decide the marriage date now, because they had enough of this unplanned thing but they assured that the bride and the groom would be shocked to know the date. Couple feared to get the taste of their own medicine and exchanged defeated looks. But it's the time for their family now to teach them a lesson for every trouble they caused them announcing sudden dates of pre marriage rituals.

Sitting over the bench outside the venue Shivay Anika looked at each other. Vigorous blood rush continued inside their body thinking about the elders' decision.

"I hope they doesn't end up in creating blunders" Shivay looked blankly turning forward.

"I don't think so, moreover they should punish us for the trouble we caused, but Shivay just think that how much more excited we would be to know our own marriage date suddenly" excitement evident in bride's voice and that drew the curve up on groom's face.

"Yeah D, just think how much fun our marriage is turning out" his chirpy voice rang.

"Everything seems so beautiful right?" she said inching close and placing her head over Shivay's shoulder.

"Yes D, everything in our life changed magically. I am glad that you chose me as your partner or else just think what would have happened to me" he adjusted his fingers between hers and rubbed her knuckles.

Playing with his fingers she looked up and smiled with sparkling eyes. She went close and kissed over his stubble and again placed her head over his shoulder. He smiling broadly gripped her fingers between his and lightly kept his head over her's. Silence occupied the space for few moments before Anika broke it.

"You know I never believed in this thing called arrange marriage" she said sharing her inner thoughts.

"Even I also never believed" he agreed to her point.

Although they knew this but sharing it again and getting assured of holding each other's hand forever seemed correct at that moment. They prayed for their ever happiness and hoped that none should come between them ever looking up at the sky.

"Show my name over your hand" he suddenly remembered while playing with her fingers and sat straight.

"Okay I will, but if you fail to find it then you would have to do that what I would demand" pulling up her mischievous grin and sitting straight she said.

"Okay fine, and if I succeed then you will have to do what I demand" thinking of something he too kept the same demand forward.

"We will see" she immediately answered and his face fell but the moment she agreed saying an yes to his demand his smile returned along with the winning spirit.

She extended her hand much more confidently being sure that he would loose in anyway. Well, looking at the designed he too gulped hard. This was the first ever time he is inspecting a girl's mehendi so keenly and so excitedly. After having a good look for more than five minutes he looked up.

"What? Accepting defeat so soon?" she forced adrenaline rush inside him and his head bowed down concentrating back over the art.

Finding the 'S' of his name he looked up again smiling broadly but much to his annoyance Anika informed that their names are written together so just finding 'S' is not the win from his side. Now his search for Shivay and Anika together started but after a good time he failed to find and asked her to show herself and challenged her back that his time would also come when Anika would have to fulfill his demand.

Nodding her head and giving a winning smile she agreed and joined both of her palms. He now noticed that her design has Shiv ji and Parvati Ji drawn over and 'ShivIka' written very beautifully over the God and Goddess.

"Wow" he was mesmerized by the uniqueness and was amazed to see the different style Anika adopted to surprise him. But being Shivay Singh Oberoi he has learnt not to accept defeat easily.

"But this is cheating Anika, you should have Given a clue that I need to look both the hands" he pouted.

"What cheating? You can see the art over both my hands so that's common sense Mr. Romeo" she said answering back in that same winning tone.

"Okay, tell me what I will have to do" he asked knowing that whatever she will ask won't be much difficult for him.

"Wait for the correct time to know" she grinned.

And they are called inside. They sensed something fishy listening to Rudra's choice of words and tone for calling them. They went in just to get the utmost shock of their life.

"Next week on Monday you both are getting married, four days left to the marriage so you both are not allowed to see each other in this time span. Yes you can speak over phone but no video calls, message is allowed and darlings no jumping in through anyone's window" last line made them gasp in shock. Definitely someone had seen Shivay jumping in everytime.

Ishana, thinking about the name Anika turned to look at her sister but her innocent face placed a confusion inside Anika's heart. Poor couple looked at each other feeling sad. Four long days and they are not allowed to meet each other. They hoped that they don't die because of this torture. But this brought an idea inside Anika's head and she pulled Shivay aside.

"Four days, they said that four long days we can't see each other. So yeah plan something in which we get to meet each other but at the same time we never see each other's face. So that's the task for you. All the best Mr. Romeo" everyone has ready tortured poor Shivay Singh Oberoi enough and now his Anika also took advantage.

He stood still at the spot while Anika went back to their family smiling innocently but never rubbing off the grin from her face.

"Let's see Miss Anika Mukherjee, who wins and who looses in this" he said to himself planning something and went forward to join their families back.
