Morning , 9:20 AM

All were waiting for there breakfast but nobody was in right frame of mind . Shivaay was constantly checking his phone but no message from anika he was frustrated and confused .
Dadi broke the silence :
Dadi : shivaay its morning know . She said with raised eyebrows .

Shivaay : yeah i know that dadi a very good morning to u ...
Shivaay said sarcastically
Dadi fumed , shakti and pinky chuckled they like this side of shivaay ......

Dadi : so what have you decided .... she was about to say more but was interupted by loud voice coming from the kitchen .
As if shivaay got his clue he got up and rushed to kitched totally ignoring dadi .

Kitchen :

The scene inside the kitchen was rather comical .
Anika was sitting on the slab and laughing her heads off whereas om and rudra are fully covered with flour and were looking like cartoons i could not stop my laugh and laughed out loud .
There was a complete silence for 2 min .
Shivaay straighten himself :
Shivaay : what ?

Omkara : were you laughing or i imagined something ?

Rudra : not only you O even i m imagining .

Shivaay : whatever , what are you two doing here at this time  ?

Omru : making breakfast .
Both of them said together making baby faces .

Anika : breakfast really u both were busy fighting . She said accusingly .

Omru glared at anika . Anika ate her words and started eating apple .

Shivaay : ok ok cool down people . First tell me whats the need to make breakfast when we have servants .

Om : i just wanted to surprise MY FAMILY ......
said om slowly ....looking down

Rudra : i want to help O .
Rudra said sheepishly ... ruffling his hairs

Shivaay has a serene smile on his face which only anika noticed . She knew shivaay always craved for this .

She was abt to leave the obros alone in there moment but shivaay hold her hand and said :
Shivaay : you also deserve this happiness wifeyyyy 😉

Anika : w...hat r u saying s..irrrr ????

Shivaay narrowed his eyes as if warning her ...
Anika stammered ...
Anika : leave my hand shivaay ...

Shivaay leave her hand but promise himself to settle this once and for all he went towards his brother's who were still looking down ...

Shivaay : how come i was not invited in obros moment ???

Omru : what ?????

Shivaay : yeah cooking is relaxing time na with family hw could u both not involve me in this ..... ????
Look at both of u what have you done to yourself ????

Omru still in shock and so as anika as she has never seen shivaay this relaxed he was always the guarded one .....

Omru : u will help us ???

Shivaay : obviously bcoz u both are miserablyyy failing ....

Omru smiled sheppishlyyyy....

Shivaay : so let's begin ???

Shivomru together : YESSSSSSSSSS ...

anika was overjoyed ... she prayed to god to keep these obros always together .

Anika : what should i do ???
She asked innocently....

Shivaay : just sit on the slab and keep quiet for sometime that will be the biggest thing u could do !
Shivaay said sarcastically ...
Anika pouted and sat on the slab

Omru observed there bantar and signalled each other ....
" something is fishyyy" both thought together ...

Om : shivaay dont you think u were pretty rude to anika
whispered om ..

Shivaay : trust me om she cant keep quiet for 30 sec..still making breakfast ..

Rudra : 10 sec left bhaiya if what u r saying is true ....

And as if on clue ,

Anika : guys can i make coffee ?

Shivomru stared at each other and burst out laughing making anika pout again ...

Anika : you all are making fun of me ... huh i m going from here i dont want to have breakfast ....

She was moving out of kitchen but suddenly omru curdle her and started pamparing her ...

Rudra : big di we were joking u know i love you sooooo much .
Said rudra in baby language ,

Omkara : you are my best friend anika hw can u be angry on me ?
He also made baby face ..

Shivaay : and i m your hus........ i mean your boss so u dont have any right to be angry on me !!!
Said shivaay with straight face ....

Anika was stumped .. what was shivaay gonna say ??

Shivaay avoided looking at anika and concentrated on his cooking skills .

Omru were sure they heard something but how can they question shivaay ...

Finally the breakfast was made shivaay ordered the servants to serve the breakfast .
He was leaving the kitchen when om hold his hand and requested shivaay to stay .

Om : i m sorry shivaay . I was never the brother who can stand by his brother in every thick and thins . You , mom ,dad and anika never consider me an outsider but my own insecurities never let u people to come close to me . I m so very sorry bhai but know i understand i m an oberoi and we oberoi's never quit . Will u give me another chance ? I want to be with you always ....
Omkara for the very first time opened himself to his elder brother ... he was crying like a baby ....
Shivaay immediately hugged him and ordered him like an elder brother to never cry ....
Shivaay : om you are my brother no matter what r the circumstances . I understood your insecurities due to dadi that was why i gave you space so that with clear mind you can think . I think that was my fault i should have been with you in your lows and gave you support and console you that i would be always with you . But i am glad you opened yourself to me . And u r right we are oberoi's we dont cry like babies saying that he wipes om's tears ....
Then shivaay turned towards rudra h
Who was listening everything with a lot of concentration .

Shivaay : you also want to say something rudy ????

Rudra : i.... ammm.... also sorryyy bhaiya . I really dont understand why were we so distant from each other . Its not like i never wanted to be with you both but as i was always with dadi i thought being selfish is the only moto through which you can survive . I always used to feel bad about how dadi treats om bhaiya but dadi always used to tell me that om is taking away my parents from me . Insecurities here also bhaiya thats why i started talking rudely to om and you . I started living my life on my own terms . But yesterday was an eye opener for me . I was happy in my life with my friends but the happiness and satisfaction which i got yesterday by standing beside you and om was  something else . I realised my mistakes bhaiya i apologise to both of you pls forgive me . I want to live my life like this only . This kitchen time was the most purest and happy time of my life .

Shivaay and om were speechless they just realised one thing not talking and  ignoring the situations leads to there insecurities which in long run impacts on there bond ....
Obros hugged each other tightly promising each other that from know on they will be more vocal about there insecurities and resolve there differences .

Anika was just thanking her stars she was glad she was witnessing the scene from her own eyes .

Anika : hawww this much hugs in one day what is happening in oberoi mantion ??
She tries to make the atmosphere light ...

Rudra : jealous much ???

Anika : huh jealous and me never , comon obros move to dining table other wise the scene will change from ramayan to mahabharat if dadi comes here .... she was joking but she knows it can happen dadi is unpredictable ...

Shivaay : anika where do u get such unique examples ???
And by the way rudra no smoking and drinking from know on understood ?

Rudra fake saluted him : yes sirrrr
he laughed ....

Rudra hugged anika and said thank you to her which was not missed by shivaay ....

They all moved to dining table ...

Pinky and shakti praised om and rudra for there cooking skills while shivaay smirked ...

Dadi avoided the whole conversation so all in all breakfast was a silent affair ....

Shivaay received a msg :
" cant meet today u have a meeting at 10.20 am will discuss later "

Shivaay frowned , he know anika is deliberately avoiding there conversation .

But he said nothing and moved to his office as he knew anika left already as she wants to avoid dadi as much as she can .

10:20 AM :

shivaay was waiting for the confirmation for his meeting when he heard a knock . He thought it must anika so he allowed the person in .

Ragini : hello shivaay !!

Shivaay : who are u ??? And what are you doing here ???

Ragini : oh you know me pretty well we have met many a times in business parties i m ragini malhotra .
Said ragini in a flirty way

Shivaay rolled his eyes ,
Shivaay : first of all miss ragini i dont know you i dont have time to waste . Secondly we never met bcoz as far as i remember the md of malhotra industries is your father not you , so meeting you is next to impossible know if you can excuse me i have a meeting to attend u may leave know .

Shivaay insulted her in one sentence and was gonna call his pa when ,

Ragini : how dare you to insult me . I m ragini malhotra and by the way your meeting was fixed with me so dont show me this attitude people die for my one look and here you are lucky i came here to meet you . Just appreciate your luck .

Shivaay : i m not sure if its my luck or nightmare . But anyways why does self proclaimed ragini malhotra wants to have a meeting in me . You are not interested in business then what possibly can be the reason ?

Ragini : oh dont act know i understand if you cant handle my beauty ... and getting nervous ...
Ragini was cut short ,
Shivaay : get to the point ms. Malhotra .

Ragini : what point ? We are getting married so i m here to know u better ...

Shivaay : WE ARE WHAT ?????
shouted shivaay ..

Ragini : relax shivaay baby ....
Lets just sit and discuss we dont have enough time your dadi is forcing our marriage in 10 days how can she do this ? I want my wedding lehenga from a very famous fashion label how will it be completen in 10 days moreover what about the rest of the rasams your dadi is really adamant in performing all the rituals why is your old hag so annoying ?? She was continuously nagging .....

Shivaay : ENOUGH ....
You miss malhotra just get out of my cabin ... i dont want to listen anything ..
GET OUT .......

Ragini left the cabin with huff ...

Shivaay's mind was blocked he was in a state of shock how could dadi do this to him ??

He needs to calm his nerves and the only person who can  calm him know is ANIKA !!!!!!

he msged her immediately :

" EMERGENCY  meet me in 10 min at the back side of the oberoi industries "
