It was early morning when Anika woke up from her sleep. She looked at the clock and it was 7 a.m.

She immediately got up from the bed and went to get ready for college. After get ready, she immediately rushed to kitchen to make her breakfast.

She was preparing her breakfast when suddenly the doorbell rang.

A- Who will come so early in the morning? Must be that psycho.

She went towards the door to open it.

On the other side, Shivaay was lost in the land of his dreams. Suddenly the doorbell rang which disturbed his sleep. He groaned in sleep and slowly opened his eyes.

S- Who's dying on my door so early in the morning?

He got up from the bed and went to open the door.

Shivaay and Anika opened the door at the same time and looked at each other confused.

Anika looked around in the corridor but found no one.

S- Hey nutsy!

Shivaay greeted Anika enthusiastically.

Anika just glared at him and said-

A- Don't ever try to call me that, Mr. Dimwit.

Shivaay scowled at her on his new nickname.

S- How many names you have for me? Tell me all at once so that I don't get surprised next time.

A- Oh! You want more names, Mr. Psycho. Don't worry, I'll find the synonyms of psycho by today itself. Okay.

Shivaay scrunched his nose in irritation.

Their argument was broken by a loud cry of a baby.

A- Now you are losing the argument, so you started crying like a baby.

S- Oh hello, Nutsy. Firstly I am not losing the argument and secondly I didn't cried.

A- Then who is crying? Have you called people to cry on behalf of you?

Anika said with a chuckle. Shivaay frowned.

They heard another cry and they started looking in the corridor and found a baby in a basket. They were beyond shocked.

A- Whose baby is this?

Anika said totally shocked to see the baby in front of her door.

S- Must be yours, that's why it's in front of your door.

Shivaay said mockingly.

A-Oh Hello, Mr. Bagad billa, if you haven't noticed that the basket is kept between both of our doors so it can be yours too because you always go around with girls not me.

Anika was now fuming in anger.

S- It's not my problem that girls swoon over me. Anyways this baby isn't mine because if it was mine, it must have blue eyes.

Shivaay said boasting himself.

A- What stupid logic is this? The baby can have his or hers mother's eyes also.

S- But my mom always says that she will have blue eyed grandchildren and I believe in her. And for your kind information, I haven't crossed my line with any of my girlfriends. I am pure like river Thames.

Shivaay said with confidence and Anika rolled her eyes at his over dramatic acting.

A- If this baby isn't mine not yours then whose baby is this?

Anika said confused.

Shivaay was also puzzled after the sudden appearance of the baby.

Shivaay bent on his knees in front of the baby and picked up the chit which was kept in the basket. Anika also sat beside him.

It was written, "Congratulations Mr. Shivaay and Ms. Anika for participating in our competition, 'Tan Tana Tan, Tan Tan Tara, ab se baby ho gaya tumhara'. You are lucky to win the contest and now this baby, Pari is yours. Best wishes."

Shivaay and Anika looked at each other horrified.

A/S- Phail Gaya Raita.

They looked at Pari who was chuckling at them.

S- Sh*t! So this was the prize. This is totally not fair.

Shivaay made a crying face while Anika was glaring at him angrily. Shivaay looked at her and composed himself.

S- Now why are you looking at me like you'll eat me raw?

A- I won't eat you raw but I'll throw in fire and cook you first then I'll feed you to the dogs.

Shivaay looked at her horrified.

S- Why? What did I do?

A- Oh Really! Its all because of you. "Nutsy please let's go, we'll play this game, Maybe I'll get a girlfriend."

Anika said mimicking him.

S- I know it was my fault but I didn't knew the winning prize. I wasn't aware that this cruel world will make me an unmarried father. If it's my fault, then kill me. KILL ME.

Shivaay said dramatically. Anika rolled her eyes. The baby started crying loudly.

A- Sh*t! We have to stop her from crying otherwise the whole building will get to know that there is a baby with us. Lets take her to my flat.

Shivaay immediately nodded his head. Anika picked up the baby from the basket and headed inside her flat. Shivaay picked up the basket and followed her inside.

Anika was trying to make Pari lye down on her bed but she wasn't ready to get down from Anika's lap and has clutched her top in her fist and started crying so Anika started patting Pari's back.

S- What happened?

A- I don't know, she's not ready to get down from my lap.

S- Oh! Then carry her in your lap.

A- Wow! What a brilliant solution. I'm proud of you.

Shivaay raised his collar in appreciation.

A- Shut up, psycho. Now we have to do something. We can't keep this baby with us.

S- Yes you're right. It'll kill my reputation. Anyways, babies are the most irritating creatures of this world.

A- I think you're right, your mom and dad would've thought the same after seeing you.

Shivaay glares at her and Anika chuckled.

They sat on the bed and started thinking for a solution. After some minutes, an idea clicked Shivaay's brain.

S- Idea!

A- What?

S- See, this baby is the prize of that competition which was conducted by that orphanage, so this baby is brought here from that orphanage. Let's go and leave this baby there.

After hearing orphanage, something pinched Anika's heart. She saw Pari and thought that she will also have a same life like hers, full of struggles and lack of love. Tears filled Anika's eyes. But she can't keep the baby to herself as she is not financially stable. Her chain of thoughts were broken by Shivaay's voice.

A- Huh?

S- Where are you lost?

A- Nothing. Let's go to the orphanage.

S- But we have to hide this baby.

A- I'll think of something. For now, go and have bath, you're stinking.

S- Don't utter rubbish, it's my natural aroma.

Anika scrunched her nose in disgust.

A- Are you going or should I throw you out?

S- Okay. Okay. I'm going.

Shivaay left from there. Anika looked at the Pari who slept in her arms. She slowly made her lye down on the bed and covered her with the blanket.

A- Why we do we have fate like that? I just hope that you get all the happiness in the world.
