Karan had already left for London. After bidding farewell to him till the main door, Shivika came back to their room.

She woke up after a nap, it had been 4 hours since Karan left and that was the last time she saw Shivay in the room. He didnt even said anything to her, just directly went to the washroom. She lied down on the bed, without knowing when did she drifted to sleep.

"Where is he?" She thought.

She quickly went out of the room, although her face showing no hurry. She didnt wanted him to notice that she was worried for him. After checking dad's room, she went to the hall, then to the kitchen & the living area but he was no where to be seen. Sighing she came back to her room.

"Where has he gone?? Its a sunday, he cant even go to the office today" she spoke to herself.

Now she was worried. She knew what all he has gone through was too much for a person to bear suddenly. She cant deny the fact that he was guilty plus he himself suffered a heart break ( Jennifer being a total fraud ) she was still not sure that if he loved her or not but she knew she loved him with all her heart & soul. Her heart started sinking with the thought of him hurting himself.
This was it, she took out her phone from her purse & was about to dial, when she felt him coming inside the room.

"Where the hell do you think you had gone?" She literally shouted on him.

He entered the room only to see his lioness ready to pound on him. The way she shouted actually reflected her care & worry for him. He realised she was worried for him.

"Ann..nikaa?" he said moving towards her.

"Ohh shit! Did I just showed him that I was worried!??? No!!! think something Annika. You cant show it to him" She thought getting nervous.

"Don...Dont you have any responsibility towards Dad? He is still not fine. What if he would have needed something? You know its a sunday, no servant is there at home. I think you should be more responsible" she said trying to hide her embarrassment & suddenly rushed into the washroom.

Shivay was on the verge of smiling & the moment she went inside, his lips curved into a smile. The way she suddenly changed her expressions made her look so cute. He knew she was just trying to hide her real feelings. He knew she didnt wanted to show him that she was worried for him, that she was waiting for him.
"My crazy wife!! " he wispered to himself with a smile on his face.

"Annika" he called her when she came out of the washroom.

She just looked at him in response. His eyes wanted to speak volumes. The longing in his blazing eyes was reflecting.

"Come with me I want to show you something" he said to her.

"I dont want to go anywhere" she said looking at the floor.

"Annika please" he said trying to convinve her.

"I said I dont want to go anywhere nor do I want to talk" she said folding her hands against her chest.

"Fine" he said while the next moment he scooped her into his arms leaving her all amazed & startled.

"Shivay!! Leave me!!! Dont you understand? Leave meeee" she said struggling in his arms but it was as if he had gone all deaf.

She saw him smiling cutely.
"Oh this man & his charming smile. Why cant she just kiss him right away? No! She have to control" she thought still struggling.

He smiled because this was the first time after that incident that she called him "SHIVAY" & not "MR. OBEROI" ! May be they were small but the changes started coming.

"Dont you dare think that you can force me into anything okay? Leave me I said" she said looking into his eyes. The way she was clutching the collar of his shirt, he felt like kissing her at that moment but he knew he have to control.

"Shhhhhh!" he said looking into her eyes & then at her lips, as if giving her a warning that if she didnt stopped, he might smash his lips on hers.

The way he adored her lips gave her a shiver down her spine. There were so many unsaid desires in his eyes which gave her butterflies in her tummy. She literally understood his warning & It took her no another second to shut her mouth.

"She looked so cute" he thought & smiled while still carrying her.

He finally reached a room ( In Oberoi Mansion itself). The room was dark with no lights. The moment he entered, her grip on his shirt tightened, she feared darkness, a lot.

"I am here Annika, dont worry" he said making her stand properly on the floor while still holding her hand.

"Shivayyy" she said, while the other moment she realised the room litting up.

It was a huge room painted mostly with blue colour while the walls were decorated with different cartoon characters. The moment her eyes fell on the numerous cute toys on the room filled her eyes with uncountable tears. She didnt knew when she started touching them all with her hands. The teddies, the monkeys, the birds, the stuffed toys, the trains, the candies, the cars, the balloons everything looked so enchanting. She caressed everything with immense love. Her eyes shedding numerous tears. The small bed with blue bedsheets. She went ahead to see something covered with a satin sheet on the corner of the room. She uncovered it to see a beautiful wooden cradle. It was so beautiful & adorable. She looked up at the ceiling to see beautiful stars shining like small beads. The ceiling was decorated into sky theme. Her eyes flooded with hundreds of emotions.
Happiness, confusion, nervousness, surprise everything.

He was quietly observing her different expressions. The way she adored & smiled between the tears looking at the room made his heart bloom with happiness. The happiness on her face was priceless. He so wanted to hug her at that moment but he knew he cant do it right now. It took him 4 hours to decorate the room. He made sure no one saw him going into the room while he decorated it. His heart schreamed that his baby is gonna be a cute little boy thus he chose the blue theme to decorate the room. Although he made sure that he arranges one room for a Baby girl too. Incase they get twins *wink wink*

Surprisingly her heart also said that her baby is gonna be a junior kanji ankho wala boy. The room literally gave a life to her dream. She was more startled on his imagination. And suddenly a question hit her mind. She turned to look at him in amazement. Did he knew that she was pregnant? How? Who told him? Her eyes asking thousands of questions.

"Shivayyy??" she said looking at him who was just smiling at her with tears in her eyes.

He came to her & wiping away the tears from her eyes he said

"Congratulations to the mother to be" he said making her eyes more moist.

"I know you decided not to tell this to me & you were right on your place Annika. Your confusion, your insecurity, your fear was justified but may be I did something worth praising in my last birth thats why god made sure that this good news reaches to me on the same day when you got to know it." he said with the utmost honesty.

"Karan?" she asked him.

"Hmm" he said.

"Annika I know what all I made you go through was more traumatic than a hell. I know I have always given you pain & sufferings. I know I have insulted you, I have only expected you to give while I never understood your plight. I know right now I m the last person on this planet with whom you want to live your life with. I know I have hurted you more than someone ever could. I know your behaviour with me is what I deserve. I m not asking you to just forget everything & forgive me, infact I request you to please give me a chance to rectify my mistakes Annika. I promise I will keep my words this time. Just give me one last chance to give you everything that you have been craving out for so long & everything that you deserve" he said looking into her eyes. Both of them were lost in each other.

"Annika you might hide this reality from me but the truth is even if you tell me or not the baby is equally mine. Dont I deserve to do something for him being his father!?" he said trying to cup her face.

"Father? You are claiming to be his father? Where were you when I wanted you with me? Did you even regarded discussing about the night when we made him? Did you even tried telling me or discussing anything about me regarding the night we spend together? Did you even consider talking to me after that night? Do you even know what all I have gone through after that night!? I m not regretting it, because I myself was equally involved in that & whatever I did, I did it out of pure love. I was somewhere hoping in my mind that you will talk to me about it, anything, may it be just few lines but you will but you didnt. You behaved so normal as if nothing happened. I was still relieved over the fact that you might have forgot about it coz you were under drinks but the day you accused me of having a lose character, I realised you knew about that night. Even after knowing about it you kept quite, why??? Even after knowing that I only loved you & whatever happened between us was out of love you accused my feelings as fake? How can you do this with me? Whyyyy?"
She cried bitterly pushing him hard on his chest repeatedly. She was hitting him with her soft hands on his chest while the tears flowed continuously. The pain, the unsaid complaints that she had were coming out. He was allowing her to hit him, she might feel good after that.

She hugged him tightly still asking why he did that while he tried to speak.
"Annikaa! I swear I had no idea about anything that happened between us the next day I woke up but I wont lie, I felt so light & different that morning. Everything seemed so refreshing, the feeling was beautiful. I swear I had no idea about it, after that dad's health deteriorated & you know I was literally lost for the next few days. I just recollected the memories of that night when I hit my hand & the blood drops fell on the bedsheet. I remembered the bedsheet that your were washing when I entered the bathroom. I swear I was so happy when I recollected the moments. I was proud of the fact that it was you whom I gifted my dignity. I was so proud of our special moments. They literally made my heart dance with joy, What all I did was not out of my pain Annika, it was out of love. I swear I didnt realised when it happened, but the truth is I graduated fell in love with you. I decided to confess all my feelings to you, but then Jennifer came & she trapped us all. I m not lying Annika, I really love you" he said trying to caress her hair, while he felt her body getting heavy over his chest.

"Annika??" he said trying to look at her face & make her stand properly when he realised that she fainted.

That means she didnt heard anything that he said to her?
That means she still thinks that he didnt recognised anything about that night!?
That means she still didnt know that he loved her??

Disappointedly & worriedly he scooped her in his arms & took her to the room. He knew she has freaked out due to continuous crying. He sprinkled some water droplets on her face. She slowly opened her eyes to see him sitting beside her. His eyes looked worried. His face all flushed out.

"Are you okay Annika?" he said looking at her.

"Hmmm" she replied while getting up.

"Stay there. No need to sit. The doctor has asked you to take complete rest. Just tell me whatever you need, Ill bring it." he said.

The care in his eyes was genuine. She remembers she was listening to him when she fainted. He was saying that he recolleted the memories after some weeks of that night. Did he said he felt very different & light hearted that morning? Watever it is she knew he cant lie to her. She will talk to him about it, but not now. She realised he was not at fault, the moment he realised about that night, Jennifer came to make their life hell. She felt guilty for misunderstanding him.

He asked her to lie down & take rest while he was about to go out to bring soup for her when she said "Thanku Shivay"

He was quite amazed to listen to her.
"Why Annika?" he asked turning back.

"For the cute room! I liked it alot" she said smiling towards him.

"You did? Really!?" he asked excitedly.

She nodded. She realised his eyes looked glassy, shining with the sheet of tears. They were filled with the tears of happiness & content.
She was happy, atleast he was trying, thats what she wanted him to do. Atleast his eyes spoke what she wanted him to say.

"I think I should give you a chance Shivay. But If you wont be able to keep your words, I will understand that we are not meant to be together." She said looking straight into his eyes. He could say she was serious. Damn seroius.

Atleast she was melted, may be only 5% but it was happening. He was so happy, his eyes shined with happiness. He could find no words to thank her.
"I wont let you & my baby down Annika, I promise" he said.
