Three years later, Shivaay knew Annika was ready for marriage, without her having to say it. She had opened her own publishing house that was only a small office room now, but which she knew would expand soon. He for his part was the most valuable businessman in the country, and their love had only grown stronger over the years, with their families being their biggest shippers. On a lovely moonlit night on the shore of a private beach, Shivaay gave Annika the most romantic proposal she could have asked for. Soon, after a public engagement at Oberoi Mansion and a lavish wedding 3 months later, she was officially Mrs. Shivaay Singh Oberoi.

Years later, as Annika would reminisce their love story while watching her handsome husband play cricket with their three adorable children, she would thank God for blessing her life with this man. From the first day since she had seen him as a 16-year-old till the day he had filled her hair-parting with vermillion, their story had progressed with small steps that had gradually crafted the most beautiful story she could have dreamt of. They still had many years and lifetimes to live together, and with him, Annika would always be excited about every single day that was to come.

The End
