It was finally the day when everyone will leave for their holiday destination.

Shivika's apartment was filled with hustle-bustle. Tej was on a call discussing about the arrangements while Jhanvi was in the kitchen making breakfast for everyone. OmRu were running behind Shivaay if he was ready or not while Shivaay was finding a chance to romance his wife and was getting irritated by OmRu's continuous pestering. Gauri was deciding Anika's dress while Mallika was lost in her thoughts of meeting Advay. Anika was checking if everything was packed or anything is left.

Harshvardhan, Sunaina, Tia and Advay also reached Shivika's apartment.

Everyone welcomed them. Anika smiled widely and hugged them. Shivaay also went towards them and touched Harshvardhan's and Sunaina's feet. They smiled and blessed him.

H- It's so good to see you.

Anika smiled.

Su- How are you beta?

A- I'm good, mumma.

Sunaina smiled and patted her cheek.

Anika hugged Advay who in return kissed her forehead. Then she went towards Tia who was looking at the house with her wide eyes.

Anika hugged Tia and she hugged her back.

Tej smiled and asked everyone to have a seat. They settled down.

H- So where are we going?

T- Well. That's a surprise, samdhiji.

J- He didn't even told me anything. I am just afraid that he's not taking us to amazon forest.

Everyone burst into laughter while Tej scrunched his nose.

J- Kids, go and get ready fast. We'll be leaving in 15 minutes.

All the youngsters except Advay and Tia shouted - OK MOM.

They ran towards Shivika's room. Shivaay held Anika's hand and ran inside the room and stood there while holding the door. Om, Rudra, Mallika and Gauri were about to enter the room when he stopped them by showing his hand.

S- Where are you guys coming?

O- In your room..

R- To get...

G- You...

M- READY.

Shivaay frowned while Anika was chuckling from inside the room as she knew that Shivaay was already very irritated by them.

S- What are we, a 3 year old, that you all are coming inside to dress us up? We can get ready by ourselves.

He shut the door and they burst into laughter.

R- It's so fun to irritate him.

G- Definitely.

They chuckled and moved to the Hall.

Shivaay sighed in relief after closing the door and looked at Anika who was sitting on the bed with a smirk.

A- You look very cute while getting irritated.

S- Hey.. Don't call me cute. I'm not cute but Hot.

A- Really.. But for me, you are my cute Billu.

S- What? No...

Then he noticed her smirk and understood that she was just playing with him.

S- Wait.. Let me tell you who's cute.

He launched towards her and pushed her back on the bed. Anika gasped in surprise.

Shivaay started tickling her and Anika started laughing.

A- Ok.... O... K... I'm...... So... Sorry..... Yo.... You..... Are...... No... Not.... Cu... Cute.....

S- Tell me I'm hot.

Anika shook her head in no while laughing. Shivaay started tickling her more.

A- Ok.... Yo... You.... Ar.... Are.... Ho.... Hot.

Shivaay stopped tickling and smiled victoriously.

S- That's like my girl.

He lied beside her. They were smiling to the fullest. Both turned a little and faced each other. Shivaay traced her face with his fingers and Anika closed her eyes. He then slowly leaned towards her face and decreased the gap between their lips. He slowly captured her lips in his. They started moving their lips in sync. They were lost in their moment when it got disturbed by a knock.

Shivaay and Anika broke the kiss while breathing heavily. They looked into each other's eyes. They again heard a knock.

O- Are you guys going to take forever to get ready?

G- Come on, Tej uncle is calling you both. We have to leave.

M- Yes. Open the door.

R- I'm wondering what must they be doing inside?

O/G/M- Shut up Rudy.

Here inside, Shivaay groaned in irritation while Anika chuckled.

S- You know, these guys are demons who always put their nose in between my romance.

Anika chuckled.

A- Ok. Now let's go otherwise we'll get late.

S- We'll not get late jaan because we all are going by our private jet.

Anika looked at him with wide eyes.

A- What? Are you serious?

Shivaay smiled and nodded his head.

A- Wow.. I can't wait to see it.

She excitedly ran inside the washroom to get ready. Shivaay chuckled at her excitement.

Anika was taking bath when Shivaay started taking out their clothes from the cupboard.

S- Jaan, what are you going to wear? I'll take that out for you.

A- Just a simple t-shirt and jeans, Shivaay. It'll be comfortable for the journey.

S- Ok.

Shivaay took out a white T-shirt and jeans for her and same for himself.

After sometime, Anika came out of the washroom in a bathrobe.

A- Shivaay, go and get ready fast.

Shivaay nodded and went to frehen up. Anika noticed her clothes on the bed and smiled.

A- He's the sweetest hubby in the world.

She smiled and got ready.

She applied Vermillion in her parting and wore her nuptial chain.

After sometime, Shivaay also came out from the washroom after getting ready.

A- Hey handsome.

S- Hello beautiful.

Shivaay said while kissing her cheek and Anika chuckled.

A- Let's go.

Shivaay nodded. Shivaay picked up his bag & a suitcase and Anika was about to lift her travel bag when Shivaay took it from her.

S- Don't worry about that. I'll carry it.

A- But I can carry that. Already you're holding two bags.

S- Hush.. I'm carrying it and if you spoke another word then I don't mind carrying you also.

Shivaay said with a smirk and Anika looked at him with wide eyes.

S- Shall we go?

Anika nodded her head silently with a small smile playing on her lips.

They reached the Hall where everyone was all ready to leave. Harshvardhan and Sunaina noticed Anika's attire and frowned. Tia was also shocked to see Anika's attire as Anika never worn modern dress, according to her.

They looked at each other. Sunaina went towards Anika.

Su- Anika, will you come with me for a minute?

Anika smiled and nodded her head.

Sunaina and Anika went towards the kitchen.

A- What happened, mumma?

Su- Anika, what type of clothes are you wearing? Is this what you wear in front of your in-laws? Anika, I haven't taught you this. You should've worn some saree or even a salwar suit would've been better but you're wearing this. What must be Tej bhaisahab and Jhanvi bhabhi thinking about you or our family?

A- Wo... I...

Su- Go and change. Wear something decent. We've given you freedom that doesn't mean that you wear these types of clothes in front of your in-laws.

Anika had tears in her eyes because she never thought her mother would react this way. She slowly nodded her head and was about to leave to change when Jhanvi stopped her.

J- Wait, Anika.

Anika and Sunaina looked at Jhanvi.

Su- I'm sorry, Jhanvi bhabhi. Actually I was making her understand that she can't wear such clothes in front of her in-laws. Please don't mind. She's just a kid. Please forgive her.

J- No. It wasn't Anika's fault. Sunaina ji, I understand that it's believed that a girl can't wear the clothes of her wish after marriage but its totally wrong. A girl can wear and do whatever she wants, no matter after or before marriage. We have accepted Anika as our daughter and she can do whatever she wants. We will never come in her way. If she wants to wear this then we are more than happy. We don't have any problem with her clothes, Sunaina ji.

Sunaina smiled with tears.

Su- I'm happy that my daughter got in-laws like you all.

Anika also smiled widely. She thanked Jhanvi through her eyes. In return, Jhanvi smiled at her.

J- I think we should leave.

They nodded their head and went towards the hall.

Sunaina made Harshvardhan understand everything and he smiled.

They finally left to the airport.
