Dadi was not surprised by shivaay's expression ....

Shivaay : what did you just say ??
Dadi : what u just heard ....
She said in no nonsense tone ...

Shivaay was about to revert back but he felt a tug in his arms he looked back and saw anika loosely holding his shirt and looking down .

Shivaay  was immediately on backfoot he knew if he looses his cool then anika will be the first one to get hurt . He cooled himself and then looked straight in dadi's eyes and said :

Shivaay : its pretty late dadi we'll have a brief discussion tomorrow i m sure u can wait that much .....
Then shivaay moved towards anika and asked her to make coffee for him as he is having headache ....

Dadi : its dinner time shivaay why u want coffee ???

Shivaay : not know dadi its enough for today .
Said shivaay roughly and without any seconds delay he left for his room .

Anika shivered with an intense gaze of dadi she without even looking up ran towards kitchen .

Dadi : headache it is shivaay . She smirked ....

The person who was standing at the entrance laughs out loud by seeing anika's innocense .
Poor girl she thought 😁

Shivaay's room :

Shivaay was pacing from one corner to another he was not sure what exactly is he worried about ?
- is he worried that he is getting married
Or
- is he worried that he is already married ?

Already married shivaay chided himself what married ???
U r barely 25 .....
U were 20 when u got married his heart screamed ....
He know that he himself jokes with anika about that marriage thing but whatever is happening knw is not a joke .

He is in messed up situation ... he was ruffling his hairs .
Anika offered him his coffee he took it and as expected all his tensions flew away by taking just one sip .
He realised something and looked back and saw anika sitting on sofa with pouted face as if cribbing for something .

Awwww he thought ....

Shivaay moved towards his coffee machine and made a vanilla mocha with lots of choclate chunks in it ..... he smiled thats how anika liked her coffee no sugar but enough choclate to suffix its absence .

He came near anika who was still sulking . He passed her coffee which she immediately took with a broad smile ....

Oh that smile .... shivaay thought ..

He took his coffee and sat beside anika ....
Anika : know what ??
Shivaay : no idea ...
Anika : what will you say tomorrow shivaay ?
Shivaay : anika what do u want me to say ?
Anika : i dont know ...
She said unsure ..
Both of them were sitting beside each other and looking at the moon not sure what this new turn in there will leads to ....

Shivaay : we will not stop this evening coffee time its ours and will always remain our's .......
Shivaay did'nt know why he was clearing this to anika ? He was still in trance when he heard ....

Anika : are u thinking about getting married ?
She asked meekly ,
Shivaay : what ? NOOOOOO  how can you think like that anika ?
Anika : shivaay its not wrong u have to get married someday ....
Shivaay cutting her and that someday is in 10 days ??

Anika bowed her head she was herself not sure what r these feelings .....she realised that way back that shivaay is the most important part  of her life and she cant see him sad or in any tension but what more ??? Why is she feeling so lonely again after 5 years .... these 5 years passed in a jiffy she never missed her father but today she wants to cry she was feeling left out .
Shivaay cupped her face and said :
Shivaay : what's wrong anika ?
Anika : i m feeling lonely shivaay ...

tears rolled down from her hazel eyes . She was not thinking at all the thought that shivaay is thinking about marriage took toll on her  .

Shivaay became restless . The great wall of shivaay can handle anything but not anika's tear . They were precious to him .

Shivaay hugged anika ....and sothes her hair ...
Shivaay : how can u feel lonely anika i m here only . Where is my strong tigress anika ? If you will cry what will happen to me ?
He was soothing her like anika is 3 yr old ....
Anika : you r getting married shivaay ! U will have your own family , your own partner , your own beautiful life i will only trouble your happy married life .
Shivaay was thinking about anika's words his own family , his own life partner his happy married life .... his thoughts went to his beautiful dream he had ...
He came back from his thoughts ..
What the hell are you thinking shivaay .

Shivaay's monologue :

Why all the words that anika is saying effecting me ? Me and happy family ? How is that even possible ? Oberoi's dont live in fantacies and me being one cant even think in that way ..... what dadi have decided must be good for business why i m not listening to her ? Marriage is nothing to me ...

Shivaay was still thinking when all his train of thoughts came to halt by anika's one sentence who was blabbering continuously ....

Anika : i should leave this house ....
She was still in her trance Nd was about to continue when shivaay pulled her strongly towards himself and looked in her eyes .

Shivaay : DONT YOU DARE !!!!

shivaay's eyes were blooshot red and he did'nt care if he was hurting anika by his raised tone ...

The thought of anika leaving him made him mad .
He was pretty clear that if he got married to someone or not , if he says yes to dadi or not , anika is going nowhere leaving him alone . He is not gonna live that lonely life again he cant be a robot again without any emotions and feelings .
He was clear if shivaay has to be the wall then anika is his foundation . And noway a wall will survive without its perfect  foundation .

He was still mad at anika but anika was way too emotional at that moment .

Anika : i have to leave shivaay u r getting married ???

Shivaay : you r not leaving this house not in this life atleast ...and i m not getting married get this clear in your thick head u  stupid women ....

Anika : how can u say no to dadi shivaay  ? She will be so angry and forget her what about you why u r not getting married ???
She was in her all time low and was talking all rubbish .........

Shivaay : i cant get married ..
Said shivaay calmly trying hug anika again but she moved back which pissed shivaay more ...

Anika : why u cant get married shivaay ?? Why cant u say clearly always talks in puzzels confusing everyone including me ... she accused him ...

There normal talk was taking an ugly turn the environment was getting heated by there heated argument .

Anika again provoked him ,
Anika : tell me shivaay why u will say no to dadi , why ? Why ? Why ?
Finally she screamed , holding his collar

Shivaay losses his cool and screamed ,

Shivaay : I M ALREADY MARRIED .... so MRS SHIVAAY SINGH OBEROI I WANT THIS CONVERSATION TO END HERE RIGHT AWAY !!! DO YOU GET IT ..

Anika was shocked she came out of her trance and realised what just happened . In a fit of rage both of them lost there calm and said something which maybe both of them doesnt even mean ....

Shivaay was still hoping mad ...

Shivaay : its time anika we should talk on some matters which were untouched before .... its time for both of us to realise somethings which we are avoiding for the longest of time ....

Shivaay without giving her any chance to speak , meet me at our peace point tomorrow at 10 am sharp .

Saying that shivaay left . Leaving a very shocked anika behind .......
