A beautiful morning with the sounds of birds chirping and fresh wind giving the picture of beautiful nature. The sun has raised and all set to shine for the day but our sun has not wake up till now. The sun peeped through the room to disturbing his sleep. Seeing the sun entering, the curtains moved their way  for the sunlight to enter. The sunlight enter and hit the person's face making a frown on his face showing that his sleep has been disturbed. He tried to cover his head with the duvet but the sun light was not leaving him so without any option he decided to get up. He slowly rubbed his eyes with hands like cute children and looked the clock seeing the time he went to the washroom for freshening up.

After some time he came out all dressed in his casuals as he was going somewhere. He came in front of the mirror and took his time to set his hair which is most precious for him. After good five minutes he set his hair and was going outside his room but suddenly stopped and look at the table and saw his phone their. He went and took it and moved out of the room. He entered the hall and saw that no one was up. So he decides to enter the kitchen and make breakfast for everyone. He prepared the breakfast for everyone and he ate his and went from their as he had an important work to do.

He entered his car and drive towards his destination. He was going through the streets and reached a garden were people come for morning walk. He stopped the car and get down and went inside the garden. He saw a  bench vacant their and Sat their. He took his phone and opened his gallery and took a particular folder which was secured with password. He typed the password and the folder got opened. It showed many photos if a lady. He was watching those pictures in that folder and suddenly he heard some one or say a lady  calling him.

Lady : Mr Shivaay Sing Oberoi

He turned his face towards the direction of the voice.

Lady : u didn't know that u should not click your girlfriend's photo secretly.

He gave his killer smile and went towards and hugged her tightly with his almighty. She also hugged him back with same intensity as they both missed each other.

S: Niku I am glad that finally you came back. I am so happy. Thank you so much for coming back.

Lady : oh God what type of boyfriend I got  seeing his girlfriend after one year he is just saying thank you.

S: then tell me what should I tell Ms Annika

A : u have to tell I..... No u thought u r are smart first u then only I will say.

S: okay so I will say
He moved near to her ears and put hair behind her ear and leaned towards her holding her waist tightly and kissing her earlobe
"I love You"

She was breathing heavily due to the proximity and closed her eyes. She felt a magic by hearing that words. She felt blessed loved everything while hearing those three words.

He came in front of her face with an inch gap. He looked at her and saw that her eyes was closed but still a pearl has dropped from her eyes. He suddenly rub it off and his fingers touched her cheeks sending current through her body. She shivered at his touch and open the eyes. They both look into each other's eyes and was lost in each other.

S: I told now it's u r turn.

She hold his face in his hands and kissed both his cheeks and went to his ear and

"I love you"

They both hugged each other relishing the moment. After some time they broke the hug and Sat in the bench holding each other's hand. They both were looking at each other.

Finally breaking the silence annika spoke.

A: shivaay how are you??

He smiled as feeling of pity on himself.

A:what why are u smiling

S: nothing do u think that I will be okay away from you.

She smiled to it. He continued

S: I was dieing each day each minute I was dieing each second and u are asking how I am.

A: I know but what should I do I was also at the same position as yours. I was also dieing without you.

S: then why did u go Niku.

A: hey Mr its not me who went u made me go if u have stopped me once I may not have gone.

S: ha I agree I only made you go because it was your dream to do fashion designing. And I don't want to be a hurdle in u r dreams or u  give up ur dreams because of me.

A: shivaay I have already told you that u r  not responsible for that as u r my life and for me your are important than anything in this world as my soul lies in you and without soul annika has not learned to dream.

S: okay leave it u went and came back as the world's number one fashion designer. And now I can wear my personalised dresses.

A: of course.

S: Niku......

A: hmm what happened

He spread his arms. Seeing that she just hugged him tightly. He also hugged her. She placed her head on his chest and heard his heart beat beating.

A: shivaay what is your heart saying?

S: u didn't understand my heart is saying love u Niku.........

She smiled at him and kissed his cheeks. But disturbing their moment shivaay 's phone rang and he saw his all time enemy in romance his brother Rudra calling him.

Annika asked him who is it and he showed the screen to her. She laughed at that he only has the correct timing in disturbing their romance.
Shivaay thought to not to take but annika instead him to take the call.

S: hello what Rudra

R: but bhaiya she will be expecting you.

Then went towards his car and Sat drove to Oberoi Mansion.
They reached Oberoi Mansion and got down. She looked the building and saw that it has not changed any bit in this one year. Shivaay came to her side hugged her and told

They both holding each other's hand and went inside. He directly took her to his room. They entered his room and he just back hugged  her nuzzled in her neck. He made her turned towards him and leaned towards her lips and captured her lips. They both kissed each other enjoying their love and missing. After good amount of time he broke the kiss and said

She blushed hearing this and hide her face in his chest. He hugged her.

S: Niku u go and change ur dress by the time I will prepare some thing for you.

A: okay

She went to her room as she was living in Oberoi Mansion. She entered her room and saw everything was intact it was the same room she went before clean and neat. She went to cupboard and saw her dress is still their. She went to washroom and freshen up. She wore the dress from her cupboard and went down to see shivaay. She didn't find him in hall and directly went to the kitchen and saw he was making food for her with a smile in his face. By seeing his smile anyone could say that he was so happy.

She went to him. He noticed her standing their and saw her wearing his favourite dress. He was staring at her forgetting that the food was getting burn but by God's help annika saw it and switched of the gas.

S: sorry Niku

A: it's okay

He made the food and both Sat at the dining hall and was having the food. Shivaay was feeding annika. After having food they went to the hall and Sat their.

But hearing this shivaay went inside angry.

O: annika I think he became angry it's okay be with him today.

A: no need om he has to come out from it otherwise he will not be able to  live his life.

Saying this she went to his room to calm him down.

She entered inside and saw he is sitting in the bed holding his head in hand and tapping his feet angrily in the floor. She closed the door and ready to face the wrath of shivaay sing Oberoi.

She slowly walked towards him and kept hand on his shoulder. As expected it was removed. She again kept her hand and Sat beside him. She slightly rubbed his hairs. She thought he will remove her hand but instead he hugged her hiding his face in her chest. She was taken aback by his gesture. She held him tightly.

A: shivaay kya hua

S: please niku I don't want any party then she will come again.

A: no shivaay no one will come u cannot be afraid u r shivaay sing Oberoi u are not afraid of anything, anyone then why.

S: are you sure

A: yes 100 %

S: I will come for party but on one condition.

A: what

S: u will hold my hand all the time. U will not leave my hand.

A: okay.
They both hugged each other.

At night Rudra has arranged all the necessary things for the party and their was only friends of them.

Annika went to call shivaay and saw he was talking in the phone to khannna ji regarding increasing the security.

A: shivaay come let's go

S: Haa
But he was doubtful. She showed her hand and asked him to hold it. He hold her hand and both went to the party side.

The party started and their was gauri om 's girl friend and bhavya Rudra' s girl friend and their some other friends and our own tia. By seeing tia their shivaay became scared and hold on annika 's hand become tighter.

She sensed it and looked at him and saw him looking at tia.

A: shivaay let's go in.

They went inside and they were playing some games, dancing etc. All the time he didn't leave her hand. But the water was over so she thought to take it.

A: shivaay leave my hand I will go get the water and come.

S: no u will not go alone

A: nothing will happen shivaay trust me.

He left her after a lot pestering. But his mind was reluctant so Rudra came and dragged him to others making him leave her hand.

She went to the kitchen and took the water and was coming back but stopped by tia who suddenly appeared in front of her.

A: do u need anything tia

T: yes ur life will you give me

A: what nonsense move I have to go.

T: u cannot go easily annika u have snatched my live my shivaay from me.

A: tia I said leave

T: no I will kill u and she hold her neck and started to strangle her.
She was breathing heavily.

Other side shivaay was becoming restless not seeing annika so he went to look. When he reached the seen he saw made his ground slip away from. Tia was trying to kill her his niku.

He roared startling tia and she left annika but she fell unconscious. And hearing the sound all came and saw and om ru were going to annika but shivaay stopped them.

S: don't u dare he took her in his arm and took her to his room.

O called the doctor and within no time doctor arrived and told she was okay.
He was relieved but his anger was not gone and she was came out and was going to hold tia 's neck but before that Rudra and om hold him.

O: shivaay listen to us

R: bhaiya please listen.
But instead Rudra received a slap on his face. All were shocked seeing this.

S: why u made me away from niku because if that only this happened.

He was going to hold Rudra 's collar but before that one hand stopped him and he looked towards that direction and saw his niku standing their. He hugged her with all force. She also hugged him calming him. But suddenly reality strike him how come she woke up.

S: niku how did u get up

A: shivaay listen to me I am totally fine tia didn't try to do anything it was a drama to make u come out from that fear.

Their was a silence and she knew the silence was before the storm.

S: what did u say how could u do that to me. Why u r not understanding that I cannot live without u but u r more interested in hurting me.

A: shivaay I just want u  to be the old tadibaaz who does not fear about anything. I just need that

S: i know understand that u don't love me anymore.

And he was blabbering unnecessarily and she couldn't take it more so she smashed her lips on his. All those who were seeing the fight turned their expression O. And all turned towards other side.

They broke the kiss once she felt that he calm down.

He looked at her and she hold his hand.

Shivaay went to Rudra and om and hugged them and said sorry.

S: I am sorry Rudra I should not have slap u.

O: yes shivaay and always don't forget we are always with you.
