Today something was different. The great Shivaay Singh Oberoi was in office at eight'o clock in the morning. The biggest shock for all the employees was that Shivaay, for the first time replied to their 'good morning'. He went to his cabin, smiling like an idiot. Shivaay was continously looking towards Anika's cabin that was attached to his cabin and was separated only by a glass window.

As soon as Anika entered the cabin, Shivaay immidiately rushed towards her cabin. He greeted her with his most charming smile he could give, but she ignored it. He came close to her and trapped her between him and the table. Her cheeks turned into a deep shade of crimson and her breathing became uneven. She closed her eyes due to the close proximity. He was always proud of himself at the way he affected her. He rubbed his cheek against hers. He kissed her ckeeks one by one, letting his lips linger on her soft cheeks. Suddenly Anika realised what he was doing and pushed him away from herself. He wasn't shocked from her action as he knew she was hurt. He tried to justify himself but she asked him to leave.

Surprisingly, He left. She sat on the floor leaning to the table and cried hugging her knees. Shivaay, who saw everything through the glass window, made a promise to himself that he would never let her cry again.

Shivaay tried every possible way to convince her, to make her understand his love for her. The Shivaay Singh Oberoi wasn't able to do what he wanted, afterall, the girl he had to deal with, wasn't an ordinary girl. This girl can't be ordinary as she has the audacity to make SSO restless, to make him feel michmichi in her absence.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Obro moments at poolside were common but they became special in a way. Shivaay, used to narrate his sad story of being rejected and ignored by anika. OmRu used to find some or the other funny thing in it and they used to laugh on their brother's condition. Shivaay's glares that once used to scare people, stopped working on Rudra who kept teasing him by singing songs like " Hum lut gye bhai aa ke tere mohalle.." Or "Billu Badnam hua darling tere liye..." and many more.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One of the routines of Shivaay was, to arrange a group lunch for the staff twice in a weak. The sole purpose of such gesture was to make sure that Anika eats properly. He had observed her routine and got to know only one thing that she often skips her meals, especially her lunch. So, when he would arrange a group lunch, he would make sure that she is present there. He would never behave as SSO, the Khadoos bagad billa but, as Shivaay, The sweet billu. He would laugh and make others laugh, he would ask his staff to share something interesting that happened with them in their life. Most of the time he would try to piss Anika off with his stupid acts. Sometimes he would give her extra work so that she gets angry and vent out her anger on him just like she used to do, but throwing water at him. He used to call her Panika for that. But Anika always tolerated all his stupidities.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shivaay decided to make everything ok today, not knowing that things are going to get even worst. Today, the whole office staff was on their toes because the project in hand was very important. Shivaay was going to do a deal with the Raizada company and the CEO of Raizada company was coming to sign the contract. Moreover, Advaay was Shivaay’s childhood friend so Shivaay was excited to meet his friend after so long.

Shivaay, Anika and some other staff members were present in the conference room waiting for Mr. Advaay singh raizada. As soon as Advaay entered, Shivaay and Advaay greeted each other with a formal handshake. During the whole procedure Advaay's eyes were fixed on Anika. He was mesmerised by her simplicity and her innocence. Anika's full concentration was on her work, but Advaay's eyes were fixed on Anika. These two were busy in their own works, unaware about the third person, Shivaay, who was getting restless after observing Advaay's constant gaze on his Lady. He was thinking ways to ask Anika to go out somehow. As soon as the procedures for the deal finalisation were done, Shivaay asked Anika to go so that he can talk to Advaay alone. He literally pushed Anika out of the conference room. Anika had no clue about what was going on in shivaay's mind.

As Anika exited the room, Advaay hugged Shivaay, smiling widely. Shivaay sensed something fishy in his behaviour but kept quite. The first thing Advaay asked was about Anika.

"Hey bro, who's she ? Nice girl and beautiful too." Advaay asked Shivaay about Anika.

"Who ?" Shivaay tried to show that he doesn't know.

"Your beautiful secretary, Anika. Well bro, I've to say, she has something in her. She's beautiful, intelligent and so innocent. Don't you think so ?" Advaay said and it cause havoc in Shivaay's heart.

"Yo..you're just over thinking. Anika, she..she's actually not what she looks. She's just.. you know what I mean right. Innocent and Anika n..not at all. She's complete teekhi mirchi (Chilli). If you thought about her in any wrong way then I won't... I mean she won't leave you. So..." Shivaay spoke as bad as he could, so that Advaay stops thinking about Anika.

"Chill bro ! I just shared my thoughts about her but you told me her whole biography. Why am I getting smell of jealousy ? Do you like her ?" Advaay asked abd smirked seeing Shivaay's face.

"Wh..what do you mean?" Shivaay stammered. "I mean, do you like Anika, your P.A ?" Advaay asked, stressing the word PA.

"N...no I d..don't." Shivaay replied unwillingly.

Shivaay didn't tell Advaay about his feelings for Anika because he didn't want to be teased as in college days he used to say "Love isn't my cup of tea".

"That's really good. Now I can try my luck. I'll surely give it a try." Advaay spoke and Shivaay felt he would get a heart attack.

Advaay went out of the conference room, leaving a flabbergasted Shivaay behind. It was too late for Shivaay to do anything because Advaay already approached Anika. Anika was in the backyard of the office. She wanted to spend some time alone.

"Hello, beautiful lady." Advaay greeted Anika, making her surprised. "He..hello, Sir." Anika replied hesitatingly.

"No, please don't be formal. Call me Advaay." Advaay said and Anika know what to say.

"Please" Advaay pleaded and Anika had to agree. "Ok, Advaay." She replied.

"Haye ! That sounds beautiful from your mouth, Beautiful." Advaay openly flirted with her.

"Are you flirting with me ?" Anika asked as a smile played on her lips.

"If you're ready to go for a coffee with me then... yes I'm flirting with you, dear beautiful." Advaay continued to make his cheesy remarks.

Advaay was talking to Anika but his full concentration was on making a certain blue eyed billu jealous as per his and OmRu's Plan.

Advaay went to Oberoi Mansion before going to Oberoi office. He met all the family members. OmRu told him everything regarding Shivaay and Anika and about Shivaay's mistake. They decided to make Shivaay jealous so that he confesses his love to Anika.

Advaay was trying to keep the conversation going and make Shivaay more jealous. At last, SSO's patience was broken. He came to them and stood between Advaay and Anika.

"Anika, go and do your work." Shivaay ordered Anika and she looked at him in confusion.

"But Shivaay, the lunch break isn't over yet. So she can stand here for some more time." Advaay said, smiling inwardly.

"No ! I..I mean She shouldn't stand in sun you know. Girls are protective about their skin and beauty." Shivaay blabbered whatever came into his mind and asked Anika to go, sternly.

"Shivaay, What did you just do ? I was trying to convince her for a coffee date. You just... let me go and talk to her." Advaay said and tried to go behind Anika.

"Just forget it. She won't agree." Said Shivaay, trying to calm down his anger.

"Very funny. You didn't even let me try properly and you're saying she won't agree. Now let me go." Advaay didn't stop.

With this, the last string of Shivaay’s patience broke and he grabbed Advaay from his collar.

"I said stop it !" Shouted Shivaay. "Why are you getting angry bro ? I just want to try..." Advaay continued the same rant.

"You're not going to do anything." Shivaay warned him.

"Why do you care so much ? Why my closeness with her bothers you ? She's your P.A man, just a P.A. So let me just..." Advaay said deliberately, to make Shivaay angry.

"Because I love her. She's mine, only mine. No one means no one has any right on her." Shivaay shouted and spoke his feelings out.

"Oh God, thank you. Om ! Ru ! Come, your stupid brother's ego has died." Advaay called Om and Rudra who were standing behind a tree.

Om and Rudra came out from where they were hiding. Seeing Shivaay’s confused face, they cleared his confusion. They made all this jealousy plan because they know that Shivaay loves Anika. But his dinosaur sized ego never let him admit it infront of others. They wanted Shivaay to confess it aloud. Moreover, they wanted Shivaay to feel that pain and agony that Anika must have gone through when Shivaay introduced Tia to Anika. Only then he'll be able to woo Anika.

"That means you don't like Anika." Shivaay asked Advaay and smiled widely.

"Ofcourse I do. Although this was just our plan but whatever I was saying about Anika, her beauty and her innocence was hundered percent true from my side. I didn't lie about it. If you still..." Advaay spoke, making Shivaay's smile fade away.

"Ok just cut it. I got it. No Need to do Ph.D on My anika." Said Shivaay possessively.

"My Anika... not bad." Advaay and OmRu said in unison in rider to tease Shivaay.

"Ok stop it. Now tell me what should I do ? I tried almost everything but Anika is more stubborn than me." Shivaay asked for some idea to woo his lady.

"Bhaiya, Haven't you watched sholay movie ? How Mr. Dharmendra climbed up the water tank and convinced his heroine's aunt to let him marry her niece. You also do that." Rudra suggested the idea that popped up in his tiny brain.

"Shutup Rudra !" Poor Rudra was reprimanded by Shivaay as always.

"But Rudy's Idea is good yaar. Go for it." Advaay suggested.

"Have you gone mad, I'm not going to do anything of this sort. I want to convince Anika as soon as possible and you want me to find a big water tank and then do all that drama." Said Shivaay.

Advaay, Om and Rudra face palmed themselves and said "Now you Shutup !" to Shivaay.

"Shivaay you just have to go to the terrace of your office and stand on the railing with a bottle of vodka in your hand." Said Om, the sensible brother of Shivaay and Shivaay agreed hesitatingly.

Rudra was more excited as he wanted to see The SSO doing such tactics. Infact, he already called whole family here to show the live Sholay movie.

Anika was trying to focus on her work. But her mind was occupied by Shivaay’s thoughts only. She was confused by Shivaay's gestures. She knew that he was repenting his mistakes and was trying every way to win her heart. He was successful in it too but now, it was Anika's mind that was stopping her from taking a step towards Shivaay. She had so many 'What ifs' in her mind. "What if he broke my heart again ?". She feared that if same thing happened again, She wouldn't be able to mend her heart. She was getting more and more confused. Just then she heard some commotion from outside. She went out to see what was happening.

The whole office staff was shocked to see their ever so strict and sophisticated boss standing on the railing of the terrace. Shivaay was embarrassed already. He once again looked towards Advaay, Om and Rudra with puppy eyes so that they ask him to stop but they ignored his requests and gestured through their eyes to continue.

Anika came out and saw the "O shaped mouths of the staff members". They were looking upwards. As she looked in the direction where they were looking, her own mouth turned in a bigger O shape. As soon as Shivaay spotted Anika, he grabbed the vodka bottle, that actually contained water in it. He started his drama.

"Suno Gaaon valo ! Mai mit gaya, lut gaya barbaad ho gaya. Meri zindagi achchi bhali chal rahi thi, lekin ek khoobsurat toofan ne sab khatam kar diya. Uss toofan ne mujhse mera sukh, chain, meri raaton ki neend, sab uda diya. Are usne jab pehli baar meri Kanji aankhon mein dekha, uski nazar dil par thaah kar ke lagi. Voh zaalim ne mujhe seedha dil pe chot di aur mud kar bhi nahi dekha. Ph.. phir ek din hum phir se mile, baat ki, dosti hui aur hum best friends ban gye. Aur phir, Humein ek doosre se pyaar ho gaya. Par, meri ek bevakoofi ki vajah se sab barbaad ho gaya. Maine apni stupidity ki vajah se Uska nazuk sa dil tod diya. Galati ka ehsas tab hua jab, jab usne mujhe ignore karna shuru kiya. Tab realise hua ki meri life mein uski importance kya hai. I realised ki mai usi se pyar karta tha, karta hun aur.. karta rahunga. Maine use manane ki bhut koshish ki, par voh nahi maan rahi." Shivaay acted lije a drunkard and narrated his sad story.

Shivaay was stumbling continously as if he would fall any moment. Whole office was enjoying first, but seeing Shivaay stumbling, they were now panicked. Only Advaay, Om and Rudra knew that the bottle contains water and shivaay wasn't drunk.

"Aap sab puchhenge nahi ki kaun hai voh larki, jo meri Jaan hai ? ( Won't you people ask who is that girl ?)" Shivaay asked the office staff.

Office staff was silent and scared too. Advaay asked Shivaay to come down but Shivaay was completely intoxicated.

"Koi..koi nahi ayega mere kareeb, agar aaj Meri PANIKA ne Mujhe maaf nahi kiya toh mai Kood jaunga. Yeh ( Pointing towards Anika ) Yeh hai mera pyaar, meri jaan. (Smiling sheepishly
) I LOVE YOU ANIKA." Shivaay confessed his feelings finally.
Whole staff's heads turned towards Anika in a jiffy and she gave a shivery smile, looking towards her left and then right.

Girl 1 : SSO

Girl 2 : LOVES

Girl 3 : ANIKA

Boy 1 : Anika

Boy 2 : Also

Boy 3 : Loves

Boy 4 : SSO

Boy 5 : That means we don't have any scope.

"Sir.." Anika called Shivaay.

"Dekha, Yeh mujhe SIR bol rahi hai, abb toh mai Kood jaunga pakka. Mai aa raha hoon.( Look, She's calling me SIR, Now I'll definitely jump. I'm coming)" Shivaay cried like a kid and acted as if he would jump.

"No ! Please nahi. Aa..aap ruk jaiye. Aap neeche utar jaiye please. ( No !! Please come down )" Anika requested him.

"Toh tumne mujhe maaf kiya ? ( So you forgave me ?)" Shivaay asked hopefully but Anika didn't reply.

"Dekha, tumne mujhe maaf nahi kiya. mai marna chahta hun. (See, you've not forgiven me. O God ! I want to die )" Shivaay said and again tried to jump.

Shivaay was going to take a step ahead, where there was no railing surface. But he Stopped listening to everyone's shouts. Shakti and Tej were all calm and composed because they knew Anika won't let anything happen, But Pinky and Janvi were tensed.

"Arey Anika puttar, Shivaay ko maaf kar de varna mere kanji aankhon vale pote-potiyan toh aane se rahe. Puttar tujhe jo karna hai kar par use neeche toh le aa. (Anika Puttar, please Forgive him. Do whatever you want to do once he comes down but please save him or else, I'll never be able to see my green-eyed grand children. )" Said Pinky, Shivaay's mother to Anika.

"Han Anika, Shivaay tumse bhut pyaar karta hai. Please maan jao beta. ( Yes Anika, Shivaay loves you a lot. Please forgive him. )" Said Janvi, Shivaay's aunt.

"Puttar, Usse bas neeche le aa, Phir chahe uske kaan kheechna, thappad marna chahe kuchh bhi karna. ( Yes, Just bring him down then you can slap him, Pull hus ears or do whatever you want. )" Said Shivaay's Dadi.

"Dadi, aap log apni BAHU ke saath Kya khusar-Pusar Kar rahe hai ? ( Dadi What are you whispering in your DAUGHTER IN LAW's ears ?)" Asked Shivaay.

Anika blushed hearing the word BAHU from his mouth. "Mai aa raha hun Bhagwan. (I'm coming, God.)" But her trance broke listening Shivaay’s voice.

"Nahi ! Dekhiye please ruk jaiye. ( No! please stop.)" Anika stopped him.

Anika ran towards the terrace to stop him. She requested him to come down and talk, but got only one answer.

"Pehle kaho ki tumne mujhe maaf kiya aur tum mujhse pyar karti ho. ( No, You say that you forgave me and Say that You Love me. )" Shivaay put a condition.

Anika tried to pull him down but all in vain.

"Ok ! Maine aapko maaf kiya SHIVAAY, maine Aapko maaf kiya. ( Ok ! I forgave you SHIVAAY, I forgave you. )" Anika said.

Shivaay couldn't believe what he just heard. He was very happy to hear SHIVAAY from her mouth. He was so happy that he tried to twirl in happiness and then, he was hanging on the railing.

Everyone gasped whereas Advaay, Om and Rudra ran to save him. Anika suddenly realised that he wasn't stuttering anymore which means that he wasn't drunk.

"You weren't drunk, right  ?" Asked Anika angrily. "Ac..tually I.." Shivaay had no answer.

"Aap ek number ke jhoote hain, aap kabhi nahi badal sakte. Aur aap mujhse maafi maang rahe hain kyunki Tia aapke parivaar ko barbaad karna chaah rahi thi. Pehle maine Tia ki baat par bharosa nahi kiya. Mujhe laga voh jhooth bol rahi hai, par voh sab sach tha." Anika accused him and cried. She remembered the time when Tia called her and told all of this.

"No Anika, I know, I was doing drama but my intentions weren't wrong. I just want you to forgive me. Anika, you don't even know how much I regret my stupid mistake. You don't know what I've gone through when you were not talking to me. I always loved you, I love you and I will only love you. I don't know how this stupid brain of mine manipulated me. I hate myself for every thing I did to you, for hurting you, for making you cry. Every tear of yours stabbed my heart thousand times Anika, Your pain kills me. I can't see you hurt. Anika, I realised my mistake and my love for you  even before I knew that Tia was plotting against my family. I swear Anika. Earlier, I was doing everything to get you but now, I just want forgiveness and your happiness. If you're happy being away from me, then I won't force you to come to me. I just want you to be happy anika." Shivaay said everything while looking into her eyes.

Advaay, Om and Rudra came there and told her that Shivaay realised his mistakes even before he knew about Tia's intentions. They also told her that this was their plan, They forced Shivaay to do all this. Anika started crying while looking at Shivaay. She asked Shivaay to hold her hand and come up. Advaay, Om and Rudra also helped him. Shivaay sat on his knees and proposed Anika.

Shivaay : I promise, Anika, I won't hurt you ever again. I won't let tears come in your eyes. You will be the Queen of my heart. Please give me one chance. Will you continue throwing water on me for the rest of my life ? Will you correct me when I'm wrong ? Will you support me when I need you ? Will you walk beside me for the rest of my life ? Will you marry me, Panika ?" Asked Shivaay.

Anika didn't reply and made him stand up. When he was standing infront of Anika, she slapped him making everybody's jaws dropped. Shivaay himself was shocked. His hand was on his cheek where Anika slapped. He was about to speak but Anika slapped him on his another cheek. Now both of his hands were on his cheeks.

"I hate you, BAGAD BILLE." Said Anika angrily.

"But I Love you." Shivaay said earnestly. Anika hugged him tightly and started crying. Shivaay strocked her back, kissing her hair numerous times. Anika cried till she was satisfied. She poured out all the emotions, that she kept bottled up in her heart from so long. After good ten minutes they broke the hug. Everyone were just admiring the two Ishqbaaz who are one Souldern on two bodies.

"Now please give me the answer of my question." Asked Shivaay.

Anika suddenly kissed his cheeks which wasn't noticed by anyone except for Advaay, Om and Rudra.

Shivaay was shocked, Surprised and Happy and said "I'M DEAD !"

"Bhabhi, Kids are here. You can continue your romance when you both are alone." Said Advaay and Advaay and Om closed Rudra's eyes.

Anika blushed at this statement and hugged Shivaay due to embarassment. Rudra removed their hands from his eyes, "I'm 18+ By the way." Said Rudra while making faces.

"You all can leave." Said Shivaay hugging Anika even more tightly.

"Ehsaan faramosh insaan." Said Om and Advaay, Om and Rudra left from there.

Shivaay didn't care about anything else now. His Lady was with him and that was mattered to him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shivaay was standing by the window, engrossed in his thinking. A lone tear escaped from his eyes, but he was too lost to realise anything. Just then, someone back hugged him. He immidiately wiped his tears off and turned towards Anika and smiled.

"Till when you will keep feeling guilty over that mistake, shivaay ? It was Past. Two years have passed. Now we are together." Said Anika and cupped his face in her hands.

Shivaay held her hands in his and kissed them softly. "I hurted you so much Anika. I would never be able to remove this guilt from my heart. I made you cry so much." He cried.

"Shhh ! Yes you did a mistake, yes you made me cry. But, You gave me happiness too. You gave me whatever I dreamt of. You gave me a beautiful family who loves me a lot. You saved Papa. You did more than I ever expected. You gave me everything, even before I could ask for it. You've always treated me like a Queen, Shivaay. So, my King is the best. And you know, you gave me the best gift of my life" said Anika while caressing her 8 months old baby bump.

"Our Prince, Shivaay. You gifted me a junior SSO. You gave me the happiness of being a mother. I love you, Shivaay." Said Anika and kissed his chest.

"I love you more than anything, Anika. I love you." Said Shivaay and kissed her forhead. Then he realised something and frowned.

"By the way, It's a junior Panika, who will be your King's princess." Said Shivaay while caressing Anika's baby bump.

"No, it's a Junior SSO, my prince." Argued Anika.

"My princess."

"My prince."

"My princess."

"I hate you." Said Anika as she got tired of arguing with him, all thanks to her pregnancy.

"But your king loves you, jaan. And yes, whether it's a prince or a princess, this baby is the symbol of our love. We will always love our symbol of love." Said Shivaay and hugged his life.

YOU'RE MY ANSWERED PRAYER..

MY FULFILLED WISH..

AND, MY REALISED DREAM..
