No matter how much a girl denies that she would never get married, deep down her heart every girl wants to meet her mister right. Every girl wants to be no.1 in someone's life. She also wanted to be no.1, not in someone's life But, in HIS life and she became.

Today Anika is sitting here as his bride, his wife looking ethereal in her Red bridal lehenga. She waited for him for 15 long years and finally, her wait for him came to an end before two months and today she got married to a thief. She can never forget that time, when she saw him after whole 13 years. He looked completely changed.

Flashback

Anika was strolling in the fruit garden. This is her favourite place to come and sit. From childhood, she loves to sit here alone. In this garden, there are many fruit trees like peaches, Guavas, lichis, strawberries, plums and cherries etc. But she likes sit under this specific tree because it has a beautiful memory attatched with it. Here, she met HIM.

She was lost in herself when someone fell from the tree. She was startled for a minute but when she noticed who the person was, she froze on her place. Her eyes were glued to that blue eyed man with black hair and fair skin tone. She doesn't need any proof to know that it's HIM. He has changed. When she had seen him last time, he was only 11 and She was 8. This man, wearing a white formal shirt and black pants and the sleeves of his shirt rolled up, he didn't look the same. That time he was a mischievous teenager and she was a shy princess of her parents, she still is. He was the first person other than her parents with whom she talked without any fear or hesitation.

Flashback in the flashback
A girl of 8 years was strolling in the garden as it is the only place where she can be alone. Anika don't have any friends, not because no one wants to be her friend, but because no body can understand this shy girl. This fruit garden is their family's personal farm so she can come here whenever she wants. One day, there was a change.

She was standing under a mango tree when someone fell off the tree. In such a situation, Anika must have been very scared but she was not scared. Rather she was looking at the blue eyed boy with her eyes filled with surprise.

The boy who fell off the tree was also looking at her without blinking. He found the little girl very cute. Her big brown eyes were looking at him as if she saw another human for the first time. Shivaay was here in someone else' garden, to steal mangoes for his brothers and little sister. Not a dangerous One, but he is a thief and the owner of the garden must be here itself. He should run from there to save himself from the scoldings of some khadoos owner of this garden. But the little girl's big brown eyes ,her chubby cheeks and her little fingers of both the hands intertwined made him stop in his tracks. She looked a little shy.

"Hello" said Shivaay smiling. She, for the first time ever replied to a stranger saying "Hello" with her enchanting smile. "Who are you ? You came here to steal mangoes from our garden ?" She asked while fidgeting with her fingers. Shivaay smiled sheepishly and said in a hushed tone "Sorry. Please don't tell anyone, I won't steal mangoes again and I won't come here again." He felt sad saying the last part and she felt equally sad hearing that.

"No. Can I come here again ? I won't steal the mangoes I promise." Shivaay asked with his best smile. He wanted to come here again, may be to see her again.

"Why you come if you don't want mangoes ?" Anika asked from him.

"I want to meet you again, Pastry. We will be friends. can I come to meet you ?" Shivaay asked with a hope to meet this cute shy princess again.

"Friend ? You be my friend ?" Anika asked from Shivaay.

“Yes pastry. I want to be your friend. Shivaay replied.

“Friends ?” He asked from her hopefully.

“Ok.” She replied simply and gave one of her best and cutest smiles to him. That was the beginning of their friendship. Infact he was Anika's first friend.

Shivaay was in Shimla with his family for holidays. One day he was strolling in the city with his siblings. That's when they came across this garden. His little brothers OmRu and sister Prinku wanted those mangoes so he being the loving brother sneaked in the garden and climbed up the tree. He lost his balance and fell down. But that was the most lovely thing in his life as well as Anika's. He met her that day and it was the best day of his life.

After that, he started visiting the garden everyday. Anika used to wait for him to come and play with her. She used to hide at different places, behind different trees but he always managed to find her. When he would enter the garden hiding from the guards, like a thief, little Anika would giggle and hide behind a tree and try to see him when he is trying to find her. But Don't know how, he would come from behind and pick her up from the ground making her shriek and giggle. She would close her own eyes with her palms as if he wouldn't be able to find her by doing this. Her already pink chubby cheeks would turn scarlet, don't know why ?

Then, Shivaay's holidays came to an end and he had to go back to Mumbai. She was really sad. She cried a lot and Shivaay gave her a pinky promise to come back again.
Second flashback ends
She kept staring him until her tears blurred her vision. She turned her face away from him, to show him that he hurt her by breaking his pinky promise. He had promised to come back soon. But he took 13 years to fulfil his promise. In those 13 years how many hours she have waited for him, she can't count.
Shivaay stood where she was looking and she turned to go but he stopped her. “I'm here, Pastry. Won't you talk to me ?” Shivaay asked in his husky and manly voice that she heard for the first time. She didn’t reply to him.
“Haven't  you recognised me, Pastry ? I'm you Shiv, the thief. Remember ?” He tried to sound funny so that he could get to see her smile but all in vain.

“You must be here because of your siblings wanted these mangoes right ? Don't worry, I won’t tell anyone.” Anika said breaking their eyelock.

“I told you pastry, that I won't come here to steal mangoes.” Shivaay asked still looking at her face. He didn't know that he will be so lost seeing her. She still looked his cute, innocent and shy pastry in that yellow Ankle length Anarkali with long silver Earrings and bangles with ghungroos. Long shiny hair, Rosy lips and those big brown eyes protected by those long feather like eyelashes she looked like a piece of art created by God. For 13 years, he had been portraying her in his dreams. Today, after seeing her he though it was in vain because he had never thought that she would be this beautiful.

“Why you come if you don't want mangoes .” She asked the same question, with same innocence and with the expectation to get the same answer from him. Don’t know why she feared that her heart will cry more than her eyes if he said no.

“I came here to meet you, Pastry. How could I not come here and meet my friend ? Infact the friend who never let me think about anyone else but her.” Shivaay replied making her heart jump in excitement but her eyes looked down nothing at particular to avoid blushing.

“You forgive me pastry, This time I will give you such PROMISES that we will always be together.” Shivaay said. He held her chin with his fingers softly and made her look at him. “Will you forgive me pastry ?” he asked from her again.

“Only if you promise to not leave me.” Anika told him in a slow yet authoritative voice. He nodded happily and hugged her making her surprised.  First time ever she hugged someone other than her family members.
They continued their routine again. This time, with new additions from Shivaay's side. He sometimes would peck her cheeks while coming from behind, or close her eyes with his palms before she could do that. Sometimes he would bring a pink rose and fix it in her hair and she would squeal in happiness as pink roses were her favourite.

One day, he brought a beautiful flower bracelet for her and made her wear that with his own hands. He intertwined his fingers with hers and kissed her knuckles. She never knew she could feel so relaxed and excited at the same time.

One day, Anika didn't go to the garden as it was raining heavily. She thought Shivaay would also not come due to the heavy rain. But Shivaay kept waiting for her. She has promised to him to come as she will make his favourite Gajar ka halwa with her own hands and bring it for him.
He kept waiting for her whole night, in heavy rain under the same tree. Next day Anika went to the garden with the Halwa made by her. She thought he would come anytime soon. But she got the biggest shock seeing him sleeping under the tree in a messy condition. As she touched his shoulder to wake him up, she realised that his clothes were wet. She gasped in shock when she realised that he was here from yesterday and waiting for her.

“Shivaay you were here from yesterday, in the rain. Why did you come ? It was raining heavily.” She asked with her eyes full of worry for him.
“My pastry promised me to come so how could I stay at home. By chance if you would have come and I wasn't here, I didn't want you to feel sad.” His reply was so simple yet it meant so much to her. He respected that one promise given to her so much. She hugged him so tightly that he stumbled.
“Pastry, I'm still hungry you know, I want my Gajar ka halwa.” Shivaay said to her to change her mood as he knew that she must be crying because she made him wait.

She laughed at his childish brhavior. She couldn't help smiling because the Shivaay Singh Oberoi who is a ruthless arrogant and businessman for the world, behaves so sweet with her. She read an article about him in a magazine and what had been written in it was not at all the way her Shivaay behaved with her. And She was very happy to be known to this side of him. She made him eat the Halwa with her own hands and Shivaay was over the moon. Never ever in his life he had such delicious halwa.

But love can never be hidden from the world, especially you have three naughty siblings, you being the elder one. Shivaay’s behavior had made Om, Rudra and Priyanka suspicious. He used to smile, good thing, but without reason ? It was way more suspicious.

They started investigating and what they found, fell like thunderbolt on them. Shivaay Singh Oberoi, their brother, who always kept a 100 metres distance between himself and girls, is here hugging a girl and laughing freely. Not that they weren't happy to see him smiling but they were not out of the shock.

They were so happy to see that genuine smile on his face. He was always strict because he had to play the role of their wall to guide them. But here he was Shivaay, not SSO.

The girl ( Anika ) snatched his phone from him to stop him from attending a call and their big brother didn't say anything. Instead, he smiled at the girl's antics. If any one else would have dared to do this, Shivaay would have shown him hell. Rudra was about to faint after seeing this phenomena.

They decided to talk to dadi about this and they even made a video to show this sweet side of Shivaay to the family members.

When Shivaay reached home late in the evening, whole family was ready to confront him with their question list. "I was in an important meeting" Shivaay's reply was short and simple to pinky's question and it was an expected answer. But today he had no escape.

"Your meeting was in someone's fruit farm, Shivaay ?" Om said making Shivaay numb. Shivaay had definitely not expected this. He tried to deny, but the video proved him a big liar. Only when Dadi pulled his ear, he told about his childhood crush, friendship and Love.

Shivaay felt his heart breaking into millions of pieces as Dadi strictly denied him to meet that Girl as they had already fixed his alliance with a girl of their own choice. He tried to make Dadi known to his point of view but she clearly sent him to his room. First time ever in his life he didn't like Dadi's decision.

Anika's state wasn't better either. Her family gave her the news about her alliance with the son of a business partner of her father. She was a dady's girl always. Her dad never denied her for anything. What she wanted was known to his dad even before she could voice out her thoughts. And first time her dad asked something from her, she didn't have the heart to deny. She suppressed her feelings and put on a fake smile on her face. Today she admitted that she loves that little thief, the naughty invader whom she met 13 years ago. Today itself she had to kill that love. But she knows that he will be her first and last love.

After that day neither Anika nor Shivaay went to the garden. Both of them thought that the other would be waiting and were guilty, unknown to the fact that the other is also not there.

One week passed by. Today, it was the engagement. Shivaay  was standing on the stage of this royal looking mansion. His face didn't even have the fake smile. He was going to kill his own soul by marrying someone he doesn't know. Om had given him the photo of his to be bride but he didn't glanced it. His first and last love will be the little shy princess, His pastry.

Anika was not happy at all. But she knew she have to smile as, if her father got to know that she's not happy he would not even think once  whose breaking the alliance even if it would cost him his life. She was going to be someone's fiancee and in somedays, his wife. Her mother had given her the photo of the groom but she didn't glance it. Why would she ? When she has picture of a thief imprinted on her heart.

She stood on the stage, beside  her to be husband. It pricked her heart to call this stranger as her to be husband. She didn't look at his face but kept staring the floor. He took her hand in his, to make her wear the ring. She felt the touch was known to her, it was soothing. The ring was slipped into her finger. It looked beautiful, but how beautiful it would have looked if that thief would have made her wear it.

Shivaay felt this girl's touch so soothing, so similar but didn't dare to look up. It was time for them to pose for the photo. When the girl, to be precise, his fiancee took a step ahead, she stumbled. He supported her to stand properly. But... What he noticed was unbelievable. The bracelet on her hand, it was the bracelet he gave to his pastry.

Anika looked up to see her beloved thief standing in front her. She stumbled, he supported her. But she didn't look at him. She would not have looked at him if she wouldn't have heard a similar voice saying her name.

Both of them couldn't believe their eyes. The person whom they wanted to see, to be with and to hold forever was standing infront of them, His pastry and her thief. The smile that was lost came back on his face, the genuine smile that only his pastry could bring. Her fake smile turned to a genuine one, that only this thief could bring.

Before they could say anything to each other, Om and Rudra took him with them and Anika was taken by her sisters. Both kept wiggling to see each other once. They were still not able to believe that they are going to get married to each other.

Anika went to her favourite place, where she met her love for the first time. This place was her favourite before she met him but when she met him, it became more and more special. She looked at the white and shiny moon staring from behind the clouds. Today it looked more beautiful.

She stated at her ring finger and closed her eyes feeling his touch. She kissed the ring. And in a swift motion, she was picked up by someone from behind. She close her eyes and giggled.

"Pastry, I can't say what I'm feeling right now. You know last one week was the most horrible time of my life. Staying away from you was the most difficult thing for me. I thought... I lost you forever and I won't be able to see you again when dadi told me that she has fixed my alliance. Thank god... Thank god you are here with me. I realised one thing that... we should say our feelings when we are with out loved ones. No body knows if we'll be able to meet them again or not. So, I want to say that... that I Love you pastry. You entered my heart when I found you fidgeting with your little fingers. I fell for you when you says I was your first friend. I felt myself on the cloud nine when you said that You waited for me and missed me. I.. love you pastry. I love you very much." Anika had tears in her eyes as she heard his confession.

Whole family gathered there to see the love birds' confession. They had fixed this alliance. But they were in a dilemma, what if Shivaay and Anika won't like each other. But Shivaay's video with Anika that OmRu showed to Dadi, erases all those worries. But these two kept their feelings hidden from everyone so the family also played this little prank.

"I...don't love you, Shivaay." Anika said making Shivaay's heart come out of his ribcage. Both the families were also shocked.

Flashback ends

She was once again surprised to find someone back hugging her and She shrieked and giggled the same way she used to do. She again closed her eyes with her palms red with mehndi of his name as if it would change anything. But the only change today was  that she was in her husband's arms.

"What were you so lost in, pastry ?" Shivaay asked his wife.

"I was thinking that my life has become even more beautiful as I got married to a thief today, the thief whom I love so much." Anika said to Shivaay as he back hugged her and she stared at the moon.

"Now you are confessing your love, you know you gave me a heart attack by saying that you don't love me." Shivaay said with a cute frown.

Flashback

"I love that thief who used to come and meet me here, hiding from the guards. He was my first friend and my first love." Anika said making Shivaay smile sheepishly. The families smiled whole heartedly as they witnessed the two lovers hugging each other unknown to the others' presence.

Flashback ends

"Yes, I don't love you. I love my little, naughty thief" Anika said as she rested her head in his chest.

He kissed her hair when she was busy staring the moo in the sky and he, in staring at his own beautiful blushing Chaand.
