"Was hiding about our marriage a right decision?", Asked Anika from herself. Now she thinks that it was a wrong decision. Shivaay's words are true. He is a billionaire so if anyone will get news about his marriage they will congratulate him but only if they tell them otherwise nobody will dream about his marriage
Shivaay and Rudra noticed that Anika is thinking something deep. Rudra gestured to Shivaay to check Anika. Shivaay nodded and placed his hand on her shoulder. Anika shivered and looked toward Shivaay to ask the reason why he held her shoulder suddenly
"A.. anything serious?", asked Anika in fear. She thought that Samar told everything to him and Rudra told everything to Shivaay. She doesn't want to lose a person like Shivaay who respect her. She doesn't want to let her image go down in front of him
"No instead we want to let you know that we were not serious. It is totally fine that you told him about us. I don't have any problem if you will tell others too so stop worrying", Shivaay laughed along with Rudra who hified with him. Anika nodded with a smile. These brothers can never let anyone stay sad. These two are adorable one is mature but sweet and another one is a child but caring
"Yes but I will not tell anyone", Anika replied and picked files and her designs to keep them safe in his office. Rudra took files from Anika and placed them inside Shivaay's drawer
"Bhabhi let's go", said Rudra and pulled Anika with him. She looked toward Shivaay because she don't want to go alone with Rudra. Even if she considers him as her brother and is comfortable around him but she doesn't want to go with him. Shivaay and Anika married recently Anika doesn't think that she should roam around with Rudra rather than Shivaay
She wants to ask Shivaay if he wants to go but she doesn't know how to. That too in front of Rudra. She trusts Rudra that he is a nice guy but she doesn't want to go with him for now
"Jao", Shivaay said shocking Anika. She thought he will ask her if she want to go with Rudra or not. Whereas Shivaay thought to give her independence. She is married to him but that doesn't mean he will not let her enjoy her freedom. She has the right to go alone. His presence may irritate her if he will go with her 24×7. He doesn't want her to feel that he doesn't trust her
" W... won't... you come? If possible can you.... join us please", asked Anika softly. Her voice was breaking because of her fear that he will ask "can't she trust Rudra", in front of Rudra which she don't want
"Yes I can but if you want you can go with him", Shivaay replied
"No you should come", said Anika. Shivaay nodded and asked Anika and Rudra to wait for him outside the office. Anika and Rudra nodded and came out of his cabin. When they were going Samar came in front of Rudra scaring Anika. Samar smirked because he guessed whom she married recently as Oberoi's will never hire someone when Samar changed her resume. Other companies rejected Anika thinking about their loss but Oberoi's won't lose anything if they hire Anika
"Ohh so you are married Mr Rudra Singh Oberoi?", Asked Samar shocking Anika. She thought he guessed that she married Shivaay but here he misunderstood her. She doesn't want this kind of misunderstanding anywhere which will ruin Shivaay's reputation too. Rudra looked toward Anika to ask if he can tell him that Shivaay is married or not. Anika nodded and noticed Samar's smirk which was indirectly warning her that he will not let her live peacefully. Anika closed her eyes tightly to gain strength. Now she needs to clear his misunderstanding regarding her and Rudra's relationship. She was about to tell when Shivaay came from the back and answered Samar's question.
"No, Mr Samar Rajput. She is my wife. She is Mrs Anika Shivaay Singh Oberoi", Shivaay said and placed his hand on Anika's shoulder. Anika smiled and held Shivaay's hand. Samar gritted angrily as Anika never gave him the right to touch her like that but she gave Shivaay the same right
"Ohh but do you know about her background? I mean do you know everything regarding her past", asked Samar eyeing Anika. Anika looked down and pressed Shivaay's hand more tightly in fear. What if he told her that he was trying to marry her? What if he told Shivaay that she married him in hurry because of him?
"I think it's our personal matter which doesn't involve business. Even if I know I think you don't have any right to ask the same", Shivaay said in a cold voice standing straight. He didn't like when someone questioned her and his brother. Nobody has the right to ask about them when he doesn't want to.
"Bhaiya we are getting late", Rudra said interrupting them. Shivaay glared at Samar angrily and left from there with Anika. Anika sighed in relief as he was unable to tell Shivaay anything. She need to talk with Gauri before he could do anything otherwise he can create a big problem. Anika didn't look back at Samar because she know he will warn her again. She never liked him that was the reason she never said yes to marrying him.

Trio reached the Oberoi mansion within 10 minutes. The whole drive was silent as Anika didn't speak anything nor did she show her interest when Rudra was trying to talk with them. Shivaay sensed that something is bothering Anika otherwise she never ignored Rudra's jokes. She is mostly the first one to laugh at his lame jokes. After reaching Shivaay noticed that Anika was lost somewhere so he tapped her shoulder
"What happened? You can tell me", Shivaay assured Anika but she shooked her head and came out of the car. Shivaay came out and asked her to walk as she was waiting for him. Rudra already left when Shivaay stopped the car
Both entered the mansion at the same time and noticed that dadi was already present there. Shivika came toward dadi and took her blessings together. Dadi blessed them happily and asked them to sit
"It's good to see you back dadi", Shivaay squealed In happiness. He hugged dadi and sat beside her. Dadi ruffled his hair and giggled
"(mujhe maaf karde puttar mai aa ni pai teri shaddi mai. Mera jana jaruri tha Chandigarh mai. Teri bua ki tabiyat kharab thi aur mujhe dhund rhi thi toh...)
I'm sorry my son that I was unable to come to your marriage but it was important for me to visit Chandigarh. Your aunt (massi) was searching for me because of her illness so...", Shivaay stopped her in middle
"I know dadi. It is totally fine ", said Shivaay and looked towards Anika who was again lost in something serious. Her expressions told that something is bothering her very much
"Hyee puttar did you gave her this bracket? You never gave this to anyone"asked dadi when she noticed Anika's hand. She held Anika's hand softly and rubbed her palms. Anika smiled and hugged her tightly. She heard what dadi said which shocked her as everyone are reacting this way. Dadi kissed Shivaay's forehead as he was very possessive when someone used to touch Pinky's belongings but here he gave her bracelet to Anika which impressed her otherwise he always used to say "you can't value it"
"I missed you soo much dadi. I thought I will be alone here. Thank you so much for coming", Anika said in a baby voice. Dadi rubbed Anika's back and pulled her out of the hug
"You are not alone here dear. See the whole family is with you so don't worry. We all love you as our daughter. Even if Shivaay will not then we are with you. Now we all are a family", said dadi
"Dadi why are you dragging me here? I never said that she is not a part of our family", Shivaay said immediately when dadi finished her sentence. He doesn't want dadi to feel that he is not giving her respect or she is unhappy because of him. Dadi trusted Shivaay that he will always respect Anika but she want to hear this from Anika so she stayed quiet
"Yes dadi he is right", replied Anika eying Shivaay lovingly. Anika then asked dadi to take a rest to which dadi nodded
"Anika I want to talk with you", Shivaay called Anika who was going towards the kitchen for work.
"Can you wait for an hour or its urgent?", asked Anika
"No, it is not urgent but.... important. So after work come to our room. By the way, do you need help?", asked Shivaay
"Sure I will come there. Regarding work so no because after warming water for dadi I want to talk with Gauri so I will talk with Gauri later. First I will talk with you", Anika said
"What if she is tensed because of Gauri only?", Shivaay thought and looked towards Anika again
"No talk with her first then meet me", Shivaay said to which Anika nodded with a smile. She noticed his smile, she want him to stay happy like this for his whole life. Dadi's reaction also told that this bracelet is very precious for him and now for her as well. Shivaay left from there, Anika kissed the bracelet and warmed water for dadi.
After giving dadi water she called Gauri and told her everything which happened inside the office. Gauri suggested Anika collect proofs before telling him as Anika told her she won't want to trouble Shivaay in all this mess
