Staying away from your loved ones isn't easy. Everytime you see some or the other thing, it reminds you of them, it reminds you of the times you spent with them.

His family didn't trust him. Those whom he always protected, were against him. They thought that he could fall so low for property.

He took his brothers' shares, but only to save them and the family from their evil bua ( Aunt ). He didn't know that his family will not trust him. He tried to save them but what he got ? Exile.

Every time, his wife makes him wonder what good has he ever done that God gifted him her. She was a blessing to die for. His own family who knows him since his birth didn't trust him but she did, whom he always troubled, knowingly or unknowingly.

Just an hour ago, he was The Shivaay Singh Oberoi and now he is just Shivaay. His Dadi asked him leave from his own house. The only person who supported him was his wife, Anika. She denied to stay at the place where there was no place for him, her husband. She denied all those luxuries and chose the life where may be she had to live without a roof on her head, but with him. She chose him over everything else despite his family didn't want her to leave.

“let’s go, Anika.” He grabbed her hand and they started their journey, where they both were each other's companions.

“won't you ask where are we going ?” he asked finally breaking the silence. She was unusually quite today, she was trying to be calm so that she can support him. At this very moment he decided to never cry for the family he lost, but to smile for the blessing who is in his arms.

“where you are taking me with you, that place must be very beautiful with you by my side.” She said as she hugged him and started looking outside the window of the train and he kissed her head making her smile.

They reached mussoorie by next day evening as they had started their journey past midnight. This place was heaven in itself. His childish, cute wife had no idea why they were here but she was smiling as if she knows everything about this place. She could find a reason to laugh in anything, and that's what makes him fond of her, she is his little chirpy bird.

The taxi halted infront of a beautiful house, surrounded by mountains and greenary. A wooden gate was there to welcome the person who enters, with green, flowery climbers, making it look more beautiful. A small pavement made of different coloured round shaped stones led to the front door of the house. There were beautiful gardens on both the sides of the pavement with two small ponds in each, filled with water and small white stones could be seen on the surface of the water.

All in all, it was heaven. Sundar, an old man of about sixty and the caretaker of the house came and welcomed them. Anika was surprised by the way Shivaay bowed down to touch his feet but the man engulfed him in a hug. She heard Shivaay calling the man sundar Kaka and the he called Shivaay as chhote sahab despite Shivaay's denial.

Then, an old woman just of the age of that old man came to them and Shivaay greeted her with so much of love that for a minute she felt, Shivaay was standing with dadi. Shivaay called her Durga kaki and she kissed his forhead with love.

Anika felt calm as she saw him smiling but she was standing there as if she was a stranger. Just then the woman noticed her and looked at Shivaay in a quizzical way. Shivaay came towards Anika and engulfed her in a side hug and introduced her to them.

“Kaki ma she's the one for whom you and kaka used to wait, that I'll come with her some day. Meet Anika, my Wife.” Shivaay said still keeping his hand around her shoulder possessively and sundar and Durga smiled.

Anika bent down to touch their feet but they stopped her and hugged. “Aapka bhut bhut swagat hai chhoti dulhan ( welcome, bride)” Durga kaki said to her and kissed her forhead with motherly love.

“Whole arrangement of your stay has been done. By the way till when are you both staying here ?” sundar kaka asked casually and Shivaay’s answer some where shocked him. “For ever, kaka.” Shivaay whispered and left from there making an excuse.

“what happened to him, chhoti dulhan ?” Durga kaki asked from Anika and Anika just controlled her own tears so that he won't see her break down from where he was standing and making some calls.

“I'll tell you some other day, when he isn't nearby.” Anika said politely and Durga and sundar nodded. “Ok, beta, we have to go. You take care of him and yourself too. We live nearby only, if you need anything just call me.” Durga kaki said to Anika and she nodded with a smile. After that they left from there.

“what happened, where are kaka and kaki ?” Shivaay came as soon as sundar and Durga left and asked from Anika about them. “They said they'll come later.” Anika answered to him and he nooded.

They were going to enter the house but he stopped her on the entrance and went inside. After a few minutes he came back with a kalash which was  full of rice and placed it on the floor just infront her feet.

“Don't look at it, it's OUR house and as my bride, your entry should be like this. Now kick it gently with your right foot and enter.” Shivaay said as he saw her chuckling.

“whose house is this Shivaay ? I mean...” Anika asked once she entered the house. “It's our house Anika, our little place to live, only in each other's company.” He said to her but she still looked confused.

“Ok. When I completed MBA, I started working under dada ji as his assistant. I learnt business from him, and he used to give me salary for my work. With my salary of two years I bought this house. I only visited here once, with dada ji. Apart from him nobody knows about this place, and now you know.” He said and hugged her.

“and sundar kaka and durga kaki ?” she asked about the old man and the woman.

“Sundar kaka lives nearby. When I bought this house and came here with dada ji, I got to know he is dada Ji's school friend. So I thought nobody can take care of this place as his own except for him. So he is just doing that for me. I always looked up at him the way I did with dada ji.” Shivaay told her everything, because she was his better half and she needs to know every small detail of his life.

Shivaay broke the hug and asked her to get freshen up till he makes something to eat but she denied because he looked more tired so she sent him to take rest and herself went to kitchen to cook.

She felt dizzy as she started to set the food on table but she was Anika and when did she take care of herself ? She shrugged it off as she knows the reason of it.

Shivaay also came there and they had their dinner. After that they retired to their room. He was looking tensed and she knew what was bothering him. She sat beside him to talk.

“Shivaay, don't worry, we'll do something. It's OUR problem and we'll face it together. I was actually thinking that I'll sell my house with chanda’s help.” Anika told him and he looked at her. He sighed and took her hands in his.

“don't worry Anika, I've some money with me, at least for two three months. And, I've some FDs on my name which were done by dada ji, as a gift. I never wanted to use them because those were his gift. But you see, that time he helped me for this day, he knew that I'll need his help.” He said as the memories of his dada ji made his heart heavy. Anika caressed his hair and he lied down in her lap.

“I'm thinking to start up a small business. I'm thinking to take a small loan from the bank. But I'm confused.” Shivaay looked at her and she understood.

“Why don't you open a cafe and a restaurant ? Mussoorie is a beautiful place and it's a tourist spot so, a restaurant and a cafe is going to be a very good option. And my husband can make it a big success with his excellent culinary skills, afterall he made me learn cooking and today I cook so good, sometimes even better than him.” She said as she praised herself and earned a chuckle from him.

“It's actually a good idea. Restaurant plus cafe, it would be amazing.” He stood up and sat beside her. “See, I never give bad ideas, only You don't value them.” She said with proud and pouted at the end making a fake sad face and he sighed at her dramatic antics.

“One more thing Shivaay, what would I do with that house. So it's better to sell it. And it will also help us.” She tried to convince him but he denied. At last she played her last card and it worked as always, Emotional blackmail.

“I understood Shivaay, you want to fight with all the problems all by yourself. I am nothing to you right ?” She said to him, looking as sad as if she would cry any minute.

“You are too much. I've spoiled you, Anika. That's why you can't take no for an answer and always make me agree to your demands. You're a spoiled little child.” He said in disbelief that he just agreed to her demand, again.

“does that mean you agree ?” She asked excitedly and he nodded. She smiled an ear to ear smile and in excitement she pecked his lips, not realising that she was already sitting in his lap.

He caged her in his arms and tucked her hair strands behind her ear. “Romantic.. ahhan?” he asked in his usual cheapda mode and she blushed as always. But before he could kiss her lips, she covered her mouth with her hand and came out of his grip. She ran towards the bathroom and emptied her stomach.

Shivaay also rushed behind her to help her. After cleaning her face she cane back to room and looked at Shivaay's worried face. Before Shivaay could talk about calling a doctor and put her on full bed rest for a week, she stopped him.

“I'm fine Shivaay, it may be due to sitting for long hours in train and may be food poisoning. I'll take medicine, no need to call the doctor.” She ‘tried’ to convince Shivaay.

“But..” He also ‘tried' to make her understand that she needs a check up but she is more stubborn so he had to give in. Anika sighed in relief and they slept.

Next morning Anika gave a list of things that are needed to be brought from the market to Shivaay. Sundar and Durga came there to ask them about their well being.

“Chhote sahab, the way to the market is quite complicated as you are visiting after such a long time, I'll accompany you if you don't mind.” Sundar asked from Shivaay.

“Why would I mind kaka, let’s go.” Shivaay said merrily and they left leaving the two ladies alone.

“chhoti dulhan actually yesterday you said...” Durga tried to ask about the reason of them coming to live here and that too forever.

Anika told her the whole matter and started crying. “I don't know why it's always him. He never asked for anything for himself, I don't know why God is so cruel to him.” Anika cried more.

“God isn't cruel to him, that's why you are with him. I'm so happy that he has a wife like you, otherwise for a few people money and luxuries matter. But you left everything just to be with him. And I've seen it in his eyes how much he loves you, the way he feels pride while saying you are his wife.” Durga consoled Anika.

Meanwhile Shivaay and sundar came back from the market.

“Now we should leave, take care of yourself beta. Don't hesitate to call if you need anything.” Sundar said and they left from there.

“Shivaay come I'll arrange the lunch.” Anika said and tried to leave but Shivaay caught her wrist. “What happened, why were you crying ?” Shivaay asked cupping her face lovingly.

“Now don't say you weren't crying. I know very well that you cried.” Shivaay said as she tried to shrug it off.

“It's just, I was missing sahil.” She lied to him as she didn't want him to feel bad. “It's just a small matter Anika. Sahil is in Shimla only, infact we can meet him more often now. His vacations are coming any way, then I'll bring him here.” He said and hugged her.

Next day shivaay decided to meet some property dealer to finalise the land for their restaurant and cafe and also to meet the local bank manager to talk about the loan procedure. Anika's health wasn’t good but she didn't let him know otherwise he would have cancelled his meeting.

Anika thought to go for a walk. She had walked a few steps away from the house but due to weakness she had to come back. Her head was spinning and the vomiting made her exhausted. She didn't call Shivaay so that he won't leave his work and it was afternoon anyway so she thought Shivaay will come by the evening. She went to have her medicines but fainted before that only.

It was almost evening and due to snowfall the roads were blocked. Shivaay was stuck in the traffic. He was getting worried for Anika as he was calling her since afternoon but she didn't respond to any of his calls.

“Hello... kaki I'm Shivaay, kaki I'm stuck in the traffic and Anika isn't picking up my calls, can you please go and check her if she's fine. Roads are getting cleared but still, please check on her. I'm not feeling well.” Shivaay called and told the matter to Durga. She told him that she'll go to check Anika.

After almost two hours Shivaay was able to get out of the traffic and came back home. Seeing Durga and sundar’s tensed faces, he panicked.

“Kaki how..hows Anika, is she find ? Whe..where is she ? Careless girl... I'm not going to leave her today... Anika...Anika..” Shivaay started calling Anika but Durga stopped him and asked him to calm down.

“when I came here, the door was open and...” kaki was going to tell him the matter but was worried how would he react. “And...” Shivaay almost whispered fearing to hear something bad. He was praying with his every breathe that Anika should be fine.

“chhoti dulhan was lying on the floor, unconscious. Doctor is checking her.” Durga said and Shivaay stumbled hearing her. It was a nightmare for him. The thought of something happening to Anika made him scared. He lost his family, but Anika was there with him. If anything happened to her then he won't be able to live.

“Don't worry beta, she'll be fine. She had fever when I checked her, may be that's why she fainted. Just calm down.” Durga tried to console him but he was crying.

Just then the doctor came out of the room and Shivaay started asking her about Anika without letting her speak.

“Calm down, Shivaay. Let her speak atleast.” Sundar had to step in to stop him from blabbering.

“It's nothing to be worried about. She had fever and weakness is just normal in pregnancy. May be she fainted due to weakness only. But as Durga aunty told me, she was unconscious from afternoon, such carelessness isn't good for the baby. Make sure someone is there to be with her. Leaving her alone at this stage is not good. I've prescribed some medicines, they will help in curing the weakness.” The doctor said making Shivaay shocked from the sudden revelation.

“I..is she p..pregnant ?” Shivaay asked, still not able to believe what he just heard.

“Don't you know ? I mean... she's almost three months pregnant and she must be aware of it.” The doctor said making him more shocked. Everything was making sense to him. Her feeling dizzy everytime and when he tried to call the doctor, she refused.

The doctor gave him the description and left. Sundar and Durga were very happy and they congratulated Shivaay. They still didn't know the matter and Shivaay didn't tell them either.

“kaka, kaki you both should also go and rest as it's quite late. Thank you so much, if you weren't here.. I don't even want to think about the consequences.” Shivaay thanked them.

“Why are you saying like that. You are just like our children, so next time don't say thank you and all. I'll prepare dinner for you both, chhoti dulhan shouldn't work in this condition. Then we'll go.” Durga suggested but Shivaay told them that he'll manage and they left from there.

He was still not able to believe that Anika could hide such a big news from him. He's going to be a father. Not that he isn't happy, but he should be the first after her to know about such a big matter of their life and she hid it from him.

He went inside their room and caressed her face. Kissing her for head he kept waiting for her to gain consciousness. Ofcourse he was angry with her for hiding such a big thing from him but he also knows that she needs extra care and patience to deal with.

As soon as Anika opened her eyes, she found him standing beside her, his head resting on the headboard with his eyes closed. She thought he was sleeping so she thought not to disturb him. But suddenly she remembered what happened and her eyes widened in shock realising that he must have seen her unconscious and worst, what if he has got to know about her pregnancy ?

She tried to get up from bed without disturbing his sleep, little did she know that he isn't actually sleeping. He opened his eyes When he felt her movement.

“Don't get up. You have already behaved in a careless manner, I don't want you to repeat such things. Just sit here, I'll go and get your dinner.” Shivaay said without looking at her and tried to leave but stopped when he felt a tug on his wrist.

But he didn't look at her and left from there. Anika understood that he got to know everything and it's not going to be easy for him to take it normally. She knows that she did a mistake by hiding about their baby from him.

She went towards the kitchen and found him busy in cooking as if nothing happened, which was not a good sign, at all. Whenever he is angry with her, he behaves more calm overtly so that he doesn't hurt her.

She went towards him and back hugged him, wrapping her arms around his torso.

“You shoukd not be here, go and rest.” He said and freed himself from her grip continuing his work.

“Shivaay please listen to me I...” Anika tried to touch his face but he turned away in anger and threw the hot pan scattering the uncooked food on the floor.

Tears made their way down her cheeks as she was startled with this sudden action of his. She had seen worst of his anger and she was never this scared from him. Today she was scared because she knew he was hurt more than angry. The internal changes in her body due to pregnancy were making her more vulnerable.

Shivaay immediately realised his mistake which he did impulsively. Wasn’t he the one who had decided to deal with her with patience and care ? He tried to hold her but she moved back as she was still scared and staring at her feet.

He gently held her wrist and pulled her in his embrace and kissed her forhead with love.

“I'm sorry Anika I didn't mean to scare you. I Just.. I lost my control when I heard that you fell unconscious and were all alone from afternoon. I was scared of losing you, scared of losing our baby.” He said as she calmed down a bit and hugged him back, almost hiding herself in the crook of his neck.

“Why didn't you tell me Anika, about our little blessing ? I was so happy when I got to know that you're pregnant but more than happy, I was scared. Don't you think that I should have got to know it from you ?” Shivaay spoke his heart out to her.

“Leave it... come with me. You shouldn't stress yourself like this.” He said and picked her up to take her to the room. He made her lie down and she gestured him to sit beside her.

“I got to know about it a week ago. I.. I wanted to tell you first, Infact I... I was going to tell you when you came back from office. But.. you were very tensed, something was already troubling you. I thought to let you rest and to tell you next morning. The next day.. you left early for office and came late. I.. didn't even tell anyone because I wanted to tell you first. After that all of this happ...happened. After that I hid this news from you.. because if I had told you the...then you wouldn't have let me leave the house and come with you. I...didn't want...to stay away from you.” She said between her sobs and kept her head in his lap.

He caressed her hair and started crying because he realised the mistake was his. In the bid to save his family he neglected her. He didn't sit with her for past few days and kept running behind the so cold truth of Kalyani mill accident. But now, no more mistakes. From now on, his one and only priority will be his wife and their baby.

“Anika, the fault was mine, not yours. Now, no more tears. I don't want my little princess to be a cry baby like her mother.” He said to her with a chuckle and she frowned.

“I'm not a cry baby...By the way, it will be a little Prince with blue eyes like you.” She said in an authoritative tone and he wondered is she the same woman who was crying a while ago. Pregnancy and mood swings !!

“Ok my jhansi ki rani, let me go and bring your dinner then you have to take medicines also.” He placed her head on the pillow and covered her with the duvet properly and left.

After that day, Shivaay never talked about his family. He was too hurt this time, that was the reason his family was now Anika and his baby...oops sorry, his twin babies, Rajveer Shivaay Singh and Aaradhya Shivaay Singh.

“Dadda, do you know, nowadays nights are more cold and chances of snow fall at night are 85 percent according to the weather report.” An eight year old little girl said to her father, stating the facts about weather.

“yes I know princy but why are you telling me that sweetheart ?” Shivaay asked from little Aaradhya who gave a look to her big brother, although he was just five minutes elder to her.

“BECAUSE FROM NOW ON YOU ARE GOING TO SLEEP OUTSIDE.” Both of them said in unison and Shivaay looked at them completely puzzled.

“Why is that so ?” he asked. Bending down to their level.

“Because mumma was saying yesterday that if you forgot your wedding anniversary then she will give you the biggest punishment. And we know that for you, staying out of your room without mumma is the biggest punishment.” Rajveer said to Shivaay, stating the biggest fact about him.

“Your mumma can't be angry from me.” Shivaay tried to sound confident infront of his kids so that his respect is saved. But his kids are more smart, credit goes to him and his wife.

"I'll go and give a tight hug to mumma and her anger will fly away." He boasted and Rajveer and Aaradhya nodded and giggled.

Shivaay went inside the house and saw his wife in kitchen. She looked quite calm. He went towards her and back hugged her but the next second he was standing there drenched in red sauce.

"WELL DONE, DADDA" the two little kids started laughing and Shivaay's glares didn't work in scaring them. Anika left from there and Shivaay kept following her. After following her for almost two hours, he was able to gain forgiveness from Anika.

"Now ?" Anika asked holding the red rose in her hand given by Shivaay. Rajveer and Aaradhya also looked at Shivaay excitedly.

"Now... A FAMILY HUG !!!" Shivaay shouted making the kids and their mumma scared. "RUN !!" The trio shouted together and ran in different directions but Shivaay caught them all one by one and hugged them tightly, making them absorbed in tomato sauce too.

"DADDA why you did this ?" Aaradhya pouted cutely as her pretty white frock was red because of sauce.

"So that dadda could have his WHOLE WORLD IN HIS EMBRACE." Shivaay said and Anika smiled looking at him, understanding his emotions.

THE END
