For five precious minutes, Anika had rested her head on Shivaay's lap whilst Shivaay made a mental note that he will try to be the reason for her smile. Shivaay had finally realised, the emotion and yes he had realised that he loves Anika with all his heart but he was confused on whether to confess or not because he did not want her to feel awkward.

He looked down to see her beautiful face looking like a sleeping beauty. But then he remembered something...

"Hey, piglet, get up quickly", Shivaay said rapidly leaving Anika confused so she rubbed her eyes thinking what this guy is going to do at this time

"Hey, piglet, get up quickly", Shivaay said rapidly leaving Anika confused so she rubbed her eyes thinking what this guy is going to do at this time.

Shivaay had a huge smile spread on his face while Anika was just confused.

They were on the top of the hotel and it was midnight, pitch black. Anika held Shivaay's hand.

Shivaay slowly said, "I want this birthday to be special for you. Magical... even, I want this to be an unforgettable day where your wishes will come true. And I want you to keep smiling"

Anika smiled at Shivaay, she was touched because no one had cared like this for her birthday apart from Harini. She smiled with tears rolling down.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANIKAAAA!!" Shivaay shouted after taking a deep breath, to the air whilst his voice echoed through the wind.

"THANK YOU SHIVAAYYYYY!" Anika shouted back with the same enthusiasm and they listened for the echos.

"Ask for anything Anika..." Shivaay said looking at Anika hopefully who was hesitating.

"Believe in the magic", Shivaay said gently squeezing Anika's hand.

"Light..." Anika boldly said looking up with hope glistening through her eyes.

When there was nothing, Anika sighed but whilst looking down casually, she could see candles in two separate rows lighting up one by one and the sight looked beautiful.

She could see the candles lighting up till the distance and she squealed and jumped up and down in excitement

She could see the candles lighting up till the distance and she squealed and jumped up and down in excitement. Shivaay chuckled at her childish antics and gestured her to keep asking.

Anika smiled widely whilst Shivaay looked at her and said, "Though I'm not a magician, I'm Shivaay Singh Oberoi", whilst Anika rolled her eyes jokingly.

"Hmmm, teddy bears which I would like " she asked after some thought.

These teddy bears slowly were dropped from above and Anika adored them especially the cat, I wonder why?😂

Anika hugged the cat tightly whilst adoring the moon and Shivaay left Anika's hand to organise the other two teddy bears on a row and whilst doing that, Shivaay asked, "What else? Ask without hesitating Anika!"

Anika stared at the moon for quite some time and took a deep breath and asked quite softly but audible to Shivaay, "Bhaiya?"
