Anika started choking and Shivaay laughed and patted her back, and Anika looked at him giving her best death stare.

"Why the hell are you laughing?!" She snapped at Shivaay

"Nothing, its just that the whole situation is too funny", he said trying to stop laughing

Anika shook her head and started speaking to her unknown sister-in-law, "Look, I don't care, who you are, I will not ever accept you as my bhabhi, because only one person in the world is fit to be my bhabhi", she said in style looking outside the car window not wanting anyone to see her tears.

"And who is that?" Arnav, Khushi and Shivaay asked with interest and Anika started telling them...

FLASHBACK--when Anika was 13 and Aadhi was 15--

Anika was playing by herself in the orphanage as Aadhi had went to the boy's playground and Anika had to stay in the girl's playground. She didn't make any friends because no-one was ever really kind to her and would insult her.

Then she felt a soft hand on her shoulder, she looked to see the face and it was a girl of her brother's age who was a smiling at her.

"Hi baby, why aren't you playing with anyone?" The kind girl asked Anika

"I don't really talk to anyone as friends here to be honest" Anika said looking up at the girl.

"What? Oh that's okay, you have got me now. Let's introduce ourselves" The girl said looking at Anika who was happy to find a new friend.

"Myself, Anika" Anika said cutely

"Myself Mallika" Mallika said smiling

Anika fell down when looking at Mallika and she quickly went to her when she saw that Anika was crying, "Don't cry, sweetie, look, the pain's gone now" Mallika said blowing on the injury.

Anika smiled with tears and looked hopefully at Mallika and both of them knew that from that day onwards they would be the best of friends. They would have fun where Anika would call Mallika- junior and Anika would call Mallika- senior.

Anika introduced Mallika to Aadhi and both of them felt a connection at that time itself and Anika would tease both of them for blushing whenever they heard each other's names.

Anika even started calling her bhabhi and then finally they officially became boyfriend and girlfriend and they were the cutest couple who cared for Anika so much.

One day, an older gang who was jealous of Aadhi had said to Aadhi that they would attack Anika and do something to her if Aadhi and Mallika go out as boyfriend and girlfriend but they told him to NOT EVER tell Mallika about this or else something will happen to Anika.

Aadhi being an overprotective brother felt heartbroken but knew he had to do this so he went and spoke to Mallika

"Mallika, I don't think this is working out,I want to focus on my studies, let's break up", Aadhi said quickly not looking in to Mallika's eyes

Mallika had tears in her eyes and said, "I can't believe that you would do this to me but always remember this, even though you want to break up and you want me to leave you. I love you and you will always be with me, here" pointing to her heart
