The happiness of the whole world at one side and the happiness of holding your Queen and a little princess in your embrace, at one side.

It's been three months since Naina has come to their lives. She is a perfect combination of Shivaay, her dad and Anika, her mumma. Hair like her mother, eyes like her father, bubbly like her mother and Ofcourse tadibaaz like her father.

Mahir and Shivaay are the ones to whom Naina is attached the most. Infact, when Priyanka or Anika scold Mahir or Shivaay , naina starts throwing tantrums and both the men take full advantage of this.

Finally the day arrived when Priyanka and Mahir’s marriage was decided to be done. It was definitely going to be a grand wedding of children of the two richest families of the country.

A pooja was decided to be done before starting the rituals. Shivika were a bit emotional but they knew that Mahir was a good man for their first daughter Prinku.

Oberois stepped in the sehgal’s villa and were welcomed by Gayatri, Mahir’s grand mother who was a great friend to Kalyani Singh Oberoi. Oberois and sehgals were going to be business partners soon so Oberois were invited.

Seeing the Oberoi family, it seemed that they were a perfect family but only they knew the reality. The whole family was basically blackmailed by tej so that he can show it to the sehgals that they are a happy family.

The Oberoi industries is not flourishing as it was going years ago. It was at the verge of bankruptcy. That's why tej wanted the deal with sehgals to happen.

Om, Rudra, gauri, bhavya and Mahir were talking to each other and Om and Rudra asked Mahir about the girl he's going to get married. Just then a girl called Mahir from behind and Mahir looked at her smiling. OmRi and RuVya turned and were shocked to see ‘Prinku’ standing infront of them, holding a little girl in her arms.

Priyanka felt angry and scared at the same time. Angry, because these were the people who destroyed her bhaiya and bhabi’s life and  scared because she didn't know how Shivaay would handle all of this.

Mahir introduced Priyanka to OmRi and RuVya, unnkown to the fact that they know each other very well. He was called by someone so he left from there. Priyanka was also about to leave but stopped hearing “Prinku" from Om's mouth.

“oh ! you remember me, that's such a great achievement for me Mr. Omkara Oberoi.” Priyanka said, looking not at all happy to see them.

“Where were you Prinku, and...and Shivaay bhaiya...” Rudra tried to ask but priyanka cut him in middle. “Stop it. Don't you even dare take my brother's name from your mouth. And please, you people are here to attend this wedding so behave as guests.

Priyanka left from there saying this. The pooja was about to start. Dadi and the other family members were waiting to see atleast one glimpse of Shivaay and Anika. Nobody noticed the little cute girl who was in Mahir’s arms and Priyanka talking to her in babyish voice calling herself the baby's bua.

Shivika were busy in their own silly fight unknown to the happenings inside the sehgal villa. Anika wanted to buy some gifts for the sehgal family and she asked Shivaay to accompany her so that he could help her.

Shivaay became busy in buying Barbies and teddy bears for his little doll and on top of that, those babies and teddies were much bigger than the little soul. It angered Anika very much. His ‘shopping for my princess’ was going to cost him too much, he knew that but he couldn't help it. He wants the best for his little princess.

Somehow Shivaay kissed his angry queen and then blushing queen was back. Once Anika’s anger was blower away, they entered sehgal’s villa. They engulfed in hugs by Mahir’s parents and other relatives.

OmRi, RuVya and dadi were observing Priyanka. The was nowhere to be seen, and nobody really cares about him. This priyanka standing infront of them was the same shy and cute Priyanka she used to be when Shivaay was there with her. Unlike the time when they ignored her. She had become a spoilt brat in Shivaay's absence. And today, they are ashamed of their every single deed.

As soon as Priyanka looked at Shivika, she smiled widely and ran towards them. The whole Oberoi clan was happy to see Shivaay and Anika after almost four years.

This Shivaay was not the SSO, nor he was that Shivaay whom they taunted. He was Anika's Shivaay. The way he had held Anika's hand, so possessively, he was a different person.

These much shocks weren't enough for them that Mahir said something that shook them completely.

“Bhaiya, your dear daughter was being so cranky because you were not here and you were busy romancing your hot and beautiful wife.” Mahir said to Shivaay who gave him a deadly glare for his last line about HIS Anika and Mahir shut his mouth. Mahir always flirted with Anika and Shivaay always hated him for that while Priyanka and Anika used to laugh on Shivaay’s possessivenes.

The whole scene was witnessed by the Oberoi family who were in tears by now. Not that they weren't happy but, they were sad that only because of their own stupidities they missed those beautiful moments they would've spent with their big brother and bhabi. Dadi regretted not being able to see her great grand daughter when she was born.

Shivika came fave to face with the Oberoi family and they were Shocked. Shivaay was angry because all those insults came to his mind. But Anika was not that worried because she knew Shivaay wouldn't be that angry when Naina is there in his arms. Around his little doll he remains calm.

Shivaay moved away from them, ignoring the calls from his so called family. He had seen those press conferences of Oberoi family where Tej Singh Oberoi and his two sons used to be present, happily together and he can't deny that it hurted him  a lot. Because he sacrificed five years of his and his wife’s life for them.

The pooja ended and Shivika and Priyanka went back home with a sleeping Naina in Shivaay's embrace. Dadi, janvi, OmRi and RuVya  decided to talk to Shivika and atleast try to apologise for the injustice they did  to them.

So they talked yo Mahir about what happened in iveeoi mansion three years ago. When Mahir got to know about the whole matter he became angry as he had seen Shivaay and Anika’s struggles to be stable. But he also knew how much Shivaay used to love his family as Priyanka used to tell him. So he decides to atleast try, may be it would bring more happiness in Shivika’s life.

Next day, he took the Oberoi family to Shivika mansion. Khanna didn't want to let then go in because he knew how would Shivaay react. But Mahir tackled him and they went inside.

Shivaay was playing with Naina. Basically Naina was sitting in Shivaay's back and Shivaay was giving her a piggy ride. His ruffled hair were a proof how much he loved his princess. As soon as Anika saw Oberoi family, she picked up Naina in her arms and Shivaay also got up. He signalled Anika to take naina upstairs. But Anika told Mahir to take Naina with him to Priyanka's room. Once Mahir left from there, all the barriers were broken which were holding Shivaay’s anger.

“now what do you people want from this murderer and his criminal wife ?” Shivaay's voice held the pain and frustration along with anger as he said these words making everyone ashamed.

Anika tried to stop him but he jerked her hand away. “Not today, you can't stop me today. I know you will become ready to listen to their stories, but I won’t. I can't tolerate these people infront of my eyes.” Shivaay said to Anika while looking at the Oberoi family.

“Billu...” Dadi tried to speak but Shivaay cut her in between. “He died, the day his God like grand mother started doing injustice with his wife who had no fault in whatever happened. He died the day when he got to know about the insults that were hurled at his wife, even by the servants of that So called Oberoi mansion. He died.” Shivaay shouted at the top of his voice.

Anika was shocked to listen to Shivaay's words. Today everything started making sense to her. From last three years she couldn't understand why Shivaay asked her to leave the house that day with him. She knew him very well, she knew that he could never leave his family despite their hatered. But today she realised that he did everything for...her. She was confused whether to be happy that he chose her. Or to cry for being the reason he was away from his family.

“Shivaay please, at least listen to them. Please...” Anika tried to calm his anger. “No. Don't interfere in all this. Just don’t.” Shivaay asked to stay quite and looked at Omkara and Gauri. “What happened Gauri ? Why these tears today ? Where were these tears when you married this man ( pointed towards Om ) in your elder sister's absence ? What happened to that love for your sister when Anika was being insulted by your so called In laws. Instead of supporting her, you yourself started taunting her. ( While clapping ) A big hand of applause for Mrs. Gauri Omkara Singh Oberoi.” Shivaay's words pierced Gauri's heart.

“Shivaay moved towards Rudra and Bhavya. “ACP Bhavya pratap Rathore. ( Saluting her ) I salute you, for being so brave. You used to boast about justice and injustice, right ? Though you didn't say anything to Anika. But did you even once tried to make your husband and his family understand that Anika is not a criminal ? No you didn't try.” He said to Bhavya making her ashamed, showing her the truth that she is not the same ACP Bhavya pratap Rathore who was never scared of standing with those who are innocent.

“Now please, get out. All of you. Don't think it bothers me. No. Not at all, I don't care whether you people are here or somewhere else, but my wife does. If you all will stand here, she will take stress. So please leave.” Shivaay said to them. He left from there and took Anika with him holding Anika’s hand.

The Oberoi family left from there repenting their mistakes more after hearing the bitter truths from Shivaay's mouth. Shivaay locked himself in room. Anika asked him to open the door and he opened the door only because Anika had started crying badly.

“I'm the reason you left your family, I snatched four family from you, right ?” Anika asked from Shivaay, making him Shocked.

“How can you even think like that ? You know Anika that you are my life, I didn't confess my feelings to you that time. But you were my life, may be from the time I saw you. And I couldn't tolerate the burden on my heart that only because of me you were tolerating so much. The family for whom I did everything, ignoring your tears and pleadings, that family insulted you. And I can't tolerate that. Never ever blame yourself for all of this Anika. You and Naina are my everything and if anyone will try to give you pain, then I will not leave him.” Shivaay said to Anika and hugged her.

After that, Anika didn't try to talk to Shivaay. She wanted to give him sometime. All the functions of PriHir’s wedding happened with Shivaay ignoring the Oberoi family. The was shocked to see Shivaay this much successful as a businessman. He tried his or ways to be close to him so that he can use Shivaay's image in the international business world as a pawn but nothing worked.

Infact tej's face was worth watching when Shivaay gave him a deadly warning to not try to come close to him or his family. Tej was a fool to think that Shivaay was the same emotional fool.

Gauri and Bhavya wanted to tell Shivaay about the happenings at home but he didn't listen to them. But Anika had guessed that something was fishy. She secretly talked to RiVya and she was shocked to listen everything about Tej's deeds.

It was the day when Priyanka and Mahir got married when Shivaay proposed a deal infront if Tej and he accepted it thinking it to be in his own favour. Shivika and Naina went to India as Shivaay had to be there for the deal.

The loud shouts of Tej and Svetlana could be heard in the oberoi mansion as they had lost everything because of Shivaay. They had lost the whole property and it belonged to it’s previous owners.

Flashback

The day before Priyanka's wedding, Anika told Shivaay about the happenings in Oberoi mansion. Tej's injustice towards OmRu, Dadi's health being affected badly, OmRu being constantly insulted by Tej and Svetlana’s entry in the mansion due to which janvi slipped into depression.

Though Shivaay was still not ready to forgive the family for Insulting Anika but he couldn't let that house be destroyed. That house and that business was his grand father's everything and he had promises to his grandfather that he will always keep everything the way he was leaving. So he decided to set everything right.

He proposed a deal infront of Tej and he accepted. After that he made him sign the wrong papers.

Flashback ends

When Tej got to know about this, he was raged and in that anger he blurted out the things he did with Shivaay and the family.

Tej's confessions were recorded by Bhavya and Gauri and they released those clips in media so that they could clear Shivaay's name. They even accepted their faults infront of the whole media. Tej was given life time imprisonment for his dirty deeds.

Shivaay was still not ready to let it go. When he was about to leave the mansion, Om and Rudra back hugged him and cried like anything but still Shivaay didn't turn. When Shivaay tried to leave again, OmRu fell at his feet. Shivaay couldn't hold his tears back, he cried but went away from there.

Anika followed him and found him sitting in the nearby park to oberoi mansion. “Shivaay, when a person is repenting his mistakes from heart, he should be given a chance.” Anika said to Shivaay, making him jerked out of his thoughts.

“It's not about me, it's about you. I won't mind if someone even kill me, but I won't forgive the person who would be a reason of your tears.” Shivaay said, cupping her cheeks.

“Shivaay, there was a time when you abandoned me, that time OmRu stood for me. Even you made a mistake, what if I had not given a chance to you to rectify your mistake ? I gave you that chance because I saw the guilt in your eyes. Would you do this injustice with the family ? Don't do this injustice to them. You don't want me to cry, but what if I cry because I became the reason of their miseries ?” Anika tried to give him the valid reason, to make him understand that the family is gulity and repenting their mistakes.

Anika didn't say anything after that and Shivaay kept thinking.

He finally closed his eyes and let the tears flow silently. After good ten minutes of crying, he looked at Anika and hugged her tightly.

“Thank you, thank you so much for showing me what is right ? What I should do ? Thank you for everything, especially for being with me always.” He said to her not breaking the hug.

In Oberoi mansion

Nobody had eaten anything since afternoon and it was half past 7:30 in the evening. The little hope that entered their lives when Shivaay came to help them, was shattered when he scored the mansion ignoring all their pleadings. The lights went off but nobody cared to check it.

Suddenly the door of the mansion opened and, and every single corner of the mansion got lighted, the darkness that had engulfed the mansion was vanished now.

The Ram of this mansion was back, to return the happiness of this lifeless mansion and its family members. Shivaay entered the mansion with Anika, Naina and prinku but found the hall empty. He looked at Anika who blinked her eyes in assurance that everything will be fine.

OmRi, RuVya, janvi and dadi came down listening to the commotion going on in the hall. There they saw Anika and Prinku playing with a super exited naina to see these new surroundings. May be, she was also very happy to be back in her real house.

“Bh.... bhabi, you here and...and Prinku Naina... what...” Om tried to fix this confusion but failed and Anika chucked seeing him. She was about to clear the confusion but a loud sound of utensils broke the silence and OmRu were first one to move towards kitchen to see what was happening.

Shivaay was chopping the vegetables as well as trying to manage the pasta that was burning. He looked towards OmRu who stood shocked at the entrance of the kitchen.

“Stop staring me you idiots and help me otherwise this pasta will be ruined badly. Om you chop these vegetables and you, Mr. Dumble, chop the onions.” Shivaay said in a casual way, the way he used to say when they were together.

Seeing them rooted to their place, Shivaay sighed and said again, “Now will you both move or not. The whole family is waiting for the dinner and we are supposed to make that.”

Slowly things started to register in OmRu’s minds and they became happy when the realisation hit them. They almost ran toward Shivaay and hugged him tightly. Shivaay also hugged them tightly and felt the moment, their special Obro moment.

Anika told about Shivaay’s decision to come back here and everyone was happy. Dadi couldn't ask for more. She looked at Naina who was looking at all of them with an innocent smile and twinkling green eyes, just like her father.

Dadi extended her arms to take Naina in her embrace and Naina didn't act cranky at all. She was showered with numerous kisses by Dadi and Gauri and Bhavya also kissed her temples from either sides.

The three brothers broke the hug after almost half an hour as their pasta was as black as coal by then. The trio prepared the dinner while dancing and singing.

When they served the dinner to everyone, Dadi caressed Shivaay's hair and tears made their way down her wrinkled cheeks. Her voice wasn’t coming out as she couldn't call him by his name, as her billu. She was still ashamed of her actions.

“Dadi, I'm dieing to hear Billu from your mouth. Won't you say that ?” he asked holding her hands and she broke down in his embrace.

Slowly, the whole family joined the hug and the day ended on a good note. The next day would be the new beginning of their lives.

The end
