Shivaay and Anika reached in front of the Principal's office and the peon asked them to wait outside till their parents reach.

Anika looks worriedly at Shivaay.

A- Shivaay, Mom-Dad are coming. What will we tell them? Oh God! Everything is so bad.

S- Anika, Calm down. We'll tell them the truth. I'm sure they'll understand.

A- But....

S- Shhhh... Everything will be fine.

Anika nodded her head.

After sometime, Jhanvi and Tej reached near Principal's office worriedly.

Anika immediately ran towards Tej with teary eyes and hugged him.

A- I am sorry dad. I didn't wanted it to happen.

Anika started crying. Tej and Jhanvi were tensed. Tej caressed her head.

T- What happened princess? Why are you crying?

But Anika continued to cry. Jhanvi looked at Shivaay who was also tensed for Anika.

J- Shivaay, what's going on? Why is princess crying?

S- Mom Dad, actually......

Shivaay narrated the whole story to them. They were now fuming in anger.

T- How dare she? I never knew that Ragini would stoop so low. This is totally not acceptable. Don't worry princess. I'll handle the principal. Anyways, it's not yours or Shivaay's fault.

Anika broke the hug and looked at them with teary eyes. Shivaay looked at her pale face and teary eyes. He side hugged her and rubbed her back.

Jhanvi also cupped Anika's cheeks and kissed her forehead.

J- Don't worry beta. It wasn't your fault. Now don't cry. We'll handle everything.

Anika nods her head with a small smile.

A peon came out of the principal's room and told them that Principal is calling them inside.

They went inside Principal's office.

Tej and Jhanvi occupied their seats in front of the principal while Shivaay and Anika stood beside the Principal's table.

P- Hello Mr. and Mrs. Oberoi.

T/J- Hello Sir.

Principal looked at Anika and frowned.

P- Anika, why are you here? I'll call your parents to talk. For now, go and attend your classes.

Anika's face paled and Shivaay clutched her hands.

T- Sir, actually Anika is our daughter in law and we are her guardian here so you can tell us.

P- Oh ok. So the thing is I got to know from a student Ragini that Anika has got into a fight with her and violated the discipline of the college. The fight was for Shivaay. That's why I called you both.

T- I'm really sorry sir on behalf of my children but you don't know the whole truth. Ragini was the one who started the fight. My daughter was just standing for the truth. It's their personal matter and I don't think we should interfere in their personal matters.

P- I understand, Mr. Oberoi but rules are rules. So I had to punish them.

J- But...

P- I'm sorry, Mrs. Oberoi but Shivaay and Anika will be suspended from college for a week.

Shivaay and Anika were shocked.

S/A- WHAT?

A- But sir, Ragini was at fault, not us.

P- Whatever it is, You both are suspended for a week because anyhow you both have violated the discipline. And about Ragini, then I'll ask college authorities to prepare the termination letter for her.

Tej and Jhanvi nodded their heads.

P- Ok. Thank you Mr. And Mrs. Oberoi for your precious time.

T- No problem sir.

They shook hands and Tej & Janvi & Shivika left the Principal office.

Anika was upset as it was the first time when she was punished.

Tej& Janvi and Shivaay noticed this.

J- What happened, Anika beta?

A- Mom, I'm suspended.

She made a crying face while Tej and Jhanvi burst into laughter.

T- Then why are you crying princess? It's not a big deal. You know from childhood, Shivaay used to get suspended at least twice in the month. I don't know maybe he's suspended for the 100th time today. Congratulations Shivaay for completing your century. 😂😂

They all burst into laughter while Shivaay whined.

S- Dad.

J- ok. Ok. Enough. So to lighten our daughter's mood, let's go and have ice cream.

Anika gets excited.

A- Iceeeee creeeeeeaaaaam.

T- Yes princess. Now let's go.

They drove towards the Ice cream parlour. They settled at a table.

S- Ok so tell me which ice cream do you want to have? Dad?

T- Umm.. Triple sundae ice cream for me and Jhanvi. We'll share like always, right Jhanvi.

Jhanvi blushed and nodded her head.

Shivaay shook his head in disbelief after seeing their parent's romance. Anika was totally awed by them.

S- Anika, what do you want?

A-Chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, strawberry ice cream and tutti fruity ice cream.

S- Anika, I'll order for myself. You tell me which flavour do you want?

A- Who said I am ordering for you? I told you mine only.

Shivaay's eyes widened in shock.

S- What? Are you mad? You'll get sick after eating so much ice cream.

Anika glared at him.

A- I want all three. And don't forget that we're celebrating your century. 😂

Jhanvi and Tej who were silent spectators, now burst into laughter. Shivaay scrunched his nose.

S- Ok fine. (Mutters) Thank you so much God for making me a part of this mad family.

Shivaay said in sarcasm.

A- Did you say something?

S- No. What will I say? I'll go and get our ice creams.

Anika nodded her head happily. After sometime, Shivaay came back to the table with a tray filled with ice cream.

He gave a bowl of ice cream triple sundae to Tej & Janvi, Chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, strawberry ice cream and tutti frutti ice cream cups to Anika and a chocolate mint ice cream for himself.

They started eating the ice cream. Anika was very excited for eating her ice creams.

S(thinks) -Look at my parents who are surviving on a single ice cream and look at my wife, who is still not satisfied after eating three cups of ice cream.😂😂 But anyways, she is looking so cute while eating. I just want to gobble her up instead of these boring ice creams.

T- Shivaay? SHIVAAY?

Shivaay came out of his thoughts and looked at Tej.

S- Yes Dad.

T- Stop staring at my daughter and listen to me.

Shivaay clears his throat in embarrassment and Jhanvi chuckled while Anika blushed.

T- Ok. So I was thinking that you guys don't have college for a week and I'll take some break from office and we can go on a family trip. How's the idea?

S- That's so cool Dad. But where?

T- Well, that's a surprise.

A- Wow... It will be so fun.

J- Yes. In fact, you can ask Om, Gauri, Rudra and Mallika to accompany us. The more, the merrier. Right?

S- Ok. I'll inform them.

T- So buddies, pack your bags.

Shivika and Jhanvi chuckled at his excitement.
