A week passed and Shivaay had engrossed himself in his work. Dadi asked him to go and visit Annika but what was the point in visiting someone who couldn't remember you? Prinku and Sahil were the only one to visit her along with Rudra, Om and of course Dadi. They had faith that she would soon recover.

The doctor had said that they couldn't say that she would be able to recover someday. Only time would tell.

However,this morning, Shivaay decided to visit Annika, finally. As he stepped in the hospital, Annika's heart began to thump faster but she didn't know why. He knocked on the door and she told him to come in.

"Hi."Shivaay said, he looked like a shy little boy.

"Hello?"Annika said, or should I say, she asked.

"I'm Prinku's brother, Shivaay Singh Oberoi." He did his famous move and something tilted in Annika's head. She had seen this before.

"I thought that I could visit you. After all, you are Prinku's best friend and she requested that you and your brother stay with us until you fully recover." Shivaay announced.

"What? No! I'm totally able to look after myself."

"Stubborn as always." He muttered.

"What did you say?" She inquired.

"N-Nothing!"He said and just pushed his hair back.

"Prinku cares for you, that's why she wants you to stay with us until you're totally fine." He said and Annika just shrugged.

"Ok."She said and thought that she was dreaming it but she saw a faint smile on his lips.

A week later.

Annika was finally discharged. Shivaay was the one driving her home. He had made it clear that he would take care of Annika. But at home Dadi was doing so much work for everything to be perfect for Annika's return. Shivaay had told her that his blood had fallen on her hairline. Since that, Dadi was sure that Annika was made to be Shivaay's wife.

When they arrived in front of the mansion, Annika saw that people were cleaning in front of the front door. So she pulled out her shoes in respect and walked in too the mansion in bare feet. As she entered the mansion she didn't notice the shattered pieces of glass on the floor and walked on them, leaving footprints of blood.

She cried in pain and Shivaay came behind her. He carried her to his room while she was looking at him, too shocked to make a move while he carried her to his room. He seemed so concerned.

He laid her on the bed then he left outside to pick a first-aid kit. He then came back to his room and took care of her wounds. She hissed in pain when he removed the piece of glass but he softly blew on her feet. Then he bandaged her feet and he put the pillows in place in order to keep her comfortable.

"Please rest." He said brushing her shoulder faintly. 

She nodded and closed her eyes. As she was resting, she smelled lingering fragrance of his cologne . His smell filled her nostrils and she melted. It was so hypnotizing. His fragrance was strong yet so sweet.

He came back with a tray of food and put it on the bedside table. She again smelt his cologne. She positioned herself on the bed and picked the cup of cinnamon chai. She drank it and closed her eyes in delight. It was as good as she was taught how to prepare it. As if she was the one who made it.

A soft memory came to her.

Flashback.

She was in the Oberoi kitchen preparing a cup of chai when Shivaay came in and hugged her from behind.

"Do you want me to do it for you?" He asked kissing her cheek.

"You'll spoil it!" She teased.

"What?! I'm Shivaay Singh , I'm capable of everything." He said.

"If you manage to do a good cinnamon chai then I'll do whatever you want my little husband-to-be." She announced and he smirked. She sat on the counter as he made the chai and after a while he finished it. He gave it to her and she drank it.

"Mmh,tasty.." She said as she closed here eyes in delight. Shivaay walked to her and placed himself between her legs.

"Now that you love my cinnamon chai, I can ask you whatever I want,right?" He asked and she blushed.

"What do you want?" She stuttered.

He kissed her jawline and smiled.

"I love the effect I have on you. Actually, it's quite flattering." He chuckled and she wanted to push him off of her but he didn't even flinch.

"I want a kiss from my beautiful bride-to-be."

End  of flashback.

Annika collapsed on the bed and Shivaay looked at her concerned.

"Annika!"He shouted and cupped her wrist to check on her pulse. He sighed. She was still breathing, he called a doctor though.

Dr Mehra came and checked on Annika.

"Do you know why did she faint?" He asked Shivaay.

"I don't know,you're the doctor, you should be the one telling my why did she faint. She tasted the cinnamon chai, then she was looking at nothing special and next thing I knew she fainted." Shivaay said.

"Did she use to drink cinnamon chai?" He asked.

"Yes,before her amnesia, she used to drink it and I had prepared it for her once, just like today." He said.

"I can't tell it now, but, I think she must have had a piece of memory  back." The doctor said and Shivaay looked at him with hope. He led the doctor to the front door and when he left, he went back to Annika's side.

As he neared the room he heard soft laughters and when he entered the room, he saw that Annika was joking with Rudra and Om.

"I swear! Prinku was a monster when she was a little girl. I remember,when she was 5, she asked our Dad to built a climbing wall behind the house and the latter did it after she complained that he was loving Rudra and I more than her!" Om said. Annika laughed and Shivaay wished that he could capture this moment forever. The way her hair was like a curtain around her face as she pulled her head forward,her lips were curving in an angelic smile and her cheeks were slightly pink. Annika felt that she was being observed so she turned to Shivaay and she stopped laughing.

"Well Didi, we're going now!" Rudra said and dragged Om outside.

"Are you okay now?" Shivaay asked, slightly looking at the tray to see if she has eaten, which was the case. And she saw him doing so.

"Thank you, it was delicious." She praised him and he blushed. "But I have to ask you something. What are we? ....
