"Why they are here?", He asked Anika whose eyes were about to close again. Anika opened her eyes with a jolt and looked in the direction to see her daily customers there

"A... actually they are my customers. Byee I will handle them", said Anika and hurriedly came out of his car and rushed towards them

Shivaay didn't feel like leaving her alone with the crowd so he followed her

"Why didn't you open your thela Anika?", Asked that man from Anika. Shivaay listened to his Harsh voice and stood beside Anika. Anika sensed his presence and passed a smile toward Shivaay

"Uncle my marriage is fixed so I am not going to continue", replied Anika as per Shivaay's order. She doesn't want to give them fake hopes from her. They can have it anywhere else as well

"Who is he? Your to be husband to someone else?", Asked that man which angered Shivaay and he grabbed his neck. His heart boiled hearing such a comment for Anika. Even if he doesn't have feelings for her but he can never let someone point a finger at her character. His mother always taught him to take a stand for girl

"Don't you dare. We are engaged. If you tried to poke your nose in our matter then I will kill you", shouted Shivaay angrily. Anika ran towards them and freed that person and looked at Shivaay angrily. Those men left from there so as Anika without looking toward Shivaay as his anger was about to ruin the situation and her self-respect. It is best to let him go from here now otherwise society will make issues. Shivaay looked towards Anika who left from there without saying anything his anger raised more but just then his phone started ringing he was about to decline but he saw Anika's name and picked her to call

"I am sorry for leaving you like that but here couples can't spend a night together without marriage and they will make this an issue if they will see us together. Hope you will forgive me", said Anika as fast as she could

"Calm down. Drink water and sleep it's ok", he replied which made Anika smile

"Good night ", she said and declined call. She was already very sleepy so she slept without changing. Shivaay throws his phone angrily as faking that you are normal is very difficult for him but he knows she was not a mistake here.

He reached Oberoi Mansion after controlling his anger and masking a cold face. He looked towards his brothers who were giving him a teasing smirk. They were waiting for him in the hall which surprised him

"Wahh bhaiya this much late I am sure you enjoyed it a lot", teased Rudra and traced his finger from his forehead to his chin. Shivaay jerked him and moved aside. Rudra smirked and thought to tease him more

"What are you saying?", He asked not understanding their double meaning. Om giggled and placed his chin on Shivaay's shoulder

"He is asking how was night out? Did you both...", asked Om and stopped in middle. Rudra laughed and hified with Om whereas Shivaay was confused regarding their silly talks. Omru know very well that Shivaay will never even touch Anika so doing such things are impossible but they love teasing him

"Aare bhaiya you and Anika bhabhi alone... O think what are the possibilities... Hyee mean I am going to become chachu", he said dramatically and looked towards Shivaay who was shocked. Now he understood their meaning. He thanked God that he didn't reply in a positive way

"Shut up Rudra and Om you too. How can you think like this? Chii go and do same with your girlfriend's", Shivaay said and left from there hurriedly. He closed the door of his room and started opening his tie in front of the mirror. He looked towards the mirror and found his cheeks red which was red unknowingly. He thought maybe because of embarrassed and changed into night clothes and slept

In morning

Shivaay woke up and left after getting ready in formals. Anika came inside Oberoi Mansion wearing yellow coloured Anarkali looking ravishing beautiful. Omru who was talking with Priyanka noticed her and welcomed her

"Hii good morning bhabhi", greeted Rudra with a smile whereas Om and Priyanka wished at on same time

"Hii good morning", Anika replied and hugged Priyanka.

Omru pulled Anika in a side hug and asked her to sit

"Vo... Can you all visit my home tomorrow? I want you people to come there too for further marriage preparations. I will prepare dosa too", said Anika

"Wowww dosa bhabhiii. I want to eat it now, please... Please", pleaded Rudra with puppy eyes. Anika looked toward Om and Priyanka who nodded

"Ok tell me where is the kitchen", she asked. Rudra jumped to hug her but stopped because Priyanka pulled him
