Guys.. Guys.. This is an unedited part. So feel free to correct my mistakes 🙂❤

The next morning annika woke up with heavy headache and a paining abdomen. Her fingers massaged her forehead as she sat up on the bed. When duvet sliding down her body, she realized herself being naked. She grabbed the end to prevent it from falling down
A: what... How did it..
She closed her eyes as last night incident constantly played in her mind. She had a clear view of all the happenings.
'Sh*t' she cursed herself while stabbing on the bed with her clenched fist
' I just blurted that'
Nothing bothered her but the revelation of her and harsh's relationship. Her hand went through her messy hair while she inhaled a good amount of oxygen
*******
Annika was sitting on the sofa in hall. Her legs folded near to her chest while gaze was at nothing particular. She seemed lost in thoughts.
'How can he take your custody as long as we are married! If he is your father I am your husband, right?' His words were ringing in her mind. She gave a thought to it and he was right!
She couldn't believe in herself that she just confessed her feelings, her love for him. Though she had recognized her intense feelings for him earlier, she was never ready to express it. She feared to experience that phase. If they didn't end up together, she was scared
Harsh's presence beside her didn't wag her.
H: didn't you also go to college today?
Harsh casually enquired as worked on the remote to switch on the tv
A: huh? Shivaay didn't go?
She asked surprised as she had concluded shivaay might have left for college when she didn't find him downstairs also
H: No. He told he has somewhere else to go. He didn't tell me the exact place
He told with a frown
A: hmm..
H: why did you take leave anyway...
A: I am not feeling good. So...
She mumbled
H: what's wrong with you doll?
He asked concerned as his whole attention shifted to her
A: can you help me dad. If I tell you something don't scold me
Holding his arm she told ever so softly
H: never.. Just tell me
A: how can I get him back now?
H: huh? Whom?
Though he know about whom she is talking. He wanted to confirm. He looks shocked plus surprised at her sudden question
A: shivaay
She told with a slightly flushed face
H: are you sure?
He exclaimed as his face beamed with happiness..
A: but he is getting married
Her face lost the colors while she looked down, being a little guilty
H: never mind! I have something to tell you. But you should promise the same. Don't scold me afterwards
His eyes turned puppy which could bring a chuckle to her face
A: ok, fine. Go on
H: Actually, Annika that was a drama. Bhavya is not his fiancee. Even I am the one who planned this to make you realise. I swear I did this only for your goodness only...
He feared to witness her anger. He held his ears while his puppy eyes seeked forgiveness. Her reaction wondered him. Her face glowed with delight and a beautiful grin spread on her face
'Really?!' She exclaimed
Harsh nodded being surprised with her gesture
A: that means there is nothing to stop us now. Thank you dad.. Thank you so much
She shouted deliciously before holding him tight to kiss on his cheek which went as tight as her hold.
An astonished harsh stared at annika who ran upstairs like a super excited kid
Unknowingly his eyes teared up, seeing his daughter smiling wholeheartedly after ages.
'I only want to see you happy like this' he whispered to himself and wiped off the tears which has reflected his happiness
********
Reaching her room, she fetched her phone to call shivaay. She hesitated to press the call icon as her heartbeat raced. After yesterday's incident there must be awkwardness between them. She was nervous to face it. It took her ten minutes to gain a bit courage to call him at last. She gets tensed more as he was late to attend the call. On the other hand, he was also fearing same as her. Moreover, he thought she would accuse him for whatever has happened. However, he couldn't ignore her call
S: hello.
A: woh... Shivaay
S: hmm..
A: do you remember anything I told yesterday?
Hesitantly she asked
S: I don't. But only one thing that you and dad are...
He faltered. He remembered it may be because the fact had shocked him to the core. Unfortunately he remembered nothing else
Closing her eyes she took a deep breath...
'Ok, I want to talk to you. Where are you?'
She had nothing to hide from him when he knows that truth
S: I am going somewhere right now...
A: I can come there if you don't mind. We should meet somewhere outside anyways
S: ok, that would be great. Then come to 'xyz hotel'. I have a surprise for you there
He told while a ear to ear smile claimed his lips
A: ok
She muttered with a smile before hanging up the call. No one regretted nor complained regarding anything happened between them, since they are married and loved each other
Shivaay's phone beeped again as he left it aside. He sighed in disbelief realising who's call was it.
S: how many times you are calling rudy. I told you na. I am coming. Don't distract me. I am driving for god's sake
He told off
R: please... Make it fast bhaiyya.. I am extremely nervous
Rudr whined
S: an experienced guy like you is nervous. Unbelievable!
He commented
R: because I am serious this time
S: seriously
He teased. He didn't get any response further but a beeping sound of disconnecting the call to which he chuckled
Rudr have planned to give a surprise birthday party to bhavya. At the same time he was being nervous to pour his heart to her, he wants to express his feelings for her today. But he was experiencing a seldom phase who once was a play boy. He had been committed in many relationships but none turned serious like this. Neither no one was genuine as bhavya is. Shivaay had been a part of his plans and accompanying him through out. After all she is his sister too. The same hotel where shivaay has called annika is, settled up the party. As per shivaay Annika doesn't know about his fake marriage drama yet. He wants to surprise her by opening up everything include ruvya's relationship. He doesn't know if she would come back to him, though he had decided to try a different approach. Unknown to the storm he invited into his life himself.
*******
Rudra's decorations were beyond shivaay's expectation.
'I didn't know you were so good in this kind of things' glancing around the room shivaay appreciatingly patted on rudra's shoulder to which he grinned widely
'hope bhavya might like this' rudr told with a tint of nervousness in his voice
'a small gesture is enough for her. If you just wished with words, she would the happiest ' shivaay replied admiringly to which rudr agreed with a slight nod
'I know but still I am nervous... Give some courage na before she comes'
Shivaay chuckled when rudy whined like a kid
S: I don't know. I am not expert at it. Either in motivating
He laughed out
R: haven't you proposed bhabhi yet?!
Rudr asked out of shock
S: unfortunately not
He shrugged, holding his lips tight
R: are you planning to do after kids
Though he told it seriously he got nothing in return but a deadly glare from his elder brother
' ok, anyways I am sorry. That's your matter. But are you both in good term or is there any problem. A few weeks back I had noticed you both good with each other. But now it doesn't seem so.. If you don't want to tell me. It's ok'
S: I will tell you soon. I feel it's time to say many things. I don't know what is bothering me. But something is there which gives me kinda negative vibe, like there is something going to be worse... Hope everything will be fine
Shivaay assured squeezing his shoulder a bit
R: ok, if you need any help. I am all yours
S: do you think you can help me by any chance. who himself is not able to work on his love story can peep into others
R: I.. I am doing great on mine by the way
He blabbered as he himself is not sure
S: are you sure?
Shivaay teasingly asked, trying to look into his eyes while he shifted gaze everywhere around
R: I will prove you wrong today bhaiyya
Finally he looked straight into his eyes and exclaimed confidently
*******
As bhavya entered the room, rudr twisted the party popper, twinkling pieces spread all around with a loud noise. She was super excited when saw the mesmerizing decorations. She could feel something getting stuck in her eye but glanced around never being bothered. 'Happy Birthday bhavya, our favourite girl ' letters hanging on the wall with a huge yet beautiful cake lying on the table. Roof was filled with flying balloons. She admired everything while shivaay and rudr sang birthday song for her. When the irritation grew higher, she blinked her eyes a few times to get rid of it.
S: what happened?
Shivaay enquired who noticed her uncomfortableness first
B: I think a bit went in my eye when he used the party popper
She mumbled rubbing her eyes
R: hey! Don't rub it
Being concerned rudr pulled back her hand
' look, your eye is completely red now. Let me see if there is something'
Saying so he keenly looked into her eye. Bhavya became frustrated when he could find nothing
B: rudy make it fast. It hurts yaar
R: I don't see anything bhavu
S: let me see..
Shivaay interrupted before pulling bhavya and making her stand in front of him. After a minute or two, he found something in corner of her eye and began to blow. But there happened something they had never imagined. Annika was standing at the door highly misunderstanding the situation. as their back was facing her, she thought they were kissing. Bhavya's moans added fuel to fire. Annika was numb yet feeling mixture of numerous emotions. She pulled back her numb body before letting it lean on the wall, she looked totally dead and frozen. Nothing came into her mind except the heartbreaking sight. She thought to sort out everything today but opposite happened.
Shivaay's phone was not reachable when she called him once reached the hotel. Without any other option she enquired to the receptionist to know if he had booked any room. With that piece of knowledge, she headed to the room where her world collapsed, at the sight she saw there
On the other hand, bhavya muttered a thanks to shivaay once her eye became fine. He grinned before pushing her head from behind to place a kiss on her forehead which could leave a wide smile on her lips. Shivaay frowned as couldn't feel presence of rudr for a past few minutes. He saw him standing in corner being occupied with something else, with a piece of paper laying in his hand, he made some gestures with his hand while lips moved as he talked something soundlessly. Rudra's eyes wide in shock when the paper reached in shivaay's custody. Shivaay narrowed his eyes at him before looking at the paper. He looked back at him with a 'seriously?' Look to which rudr pleaded through eyes.
' bhavya I wanna confess something today. You have made me fall for you madly. This is the first time I am experiencing this beautiful feelings. I thought love is just an illusion until you came into my life. Only attraction exists in this world, that is what I believed. Love is where we doesn't want to lose our partner, where we wish to be together till our last breath, where we care for each other, where we can't endure a single wound on our partner, where we would rejoice in their happiness and cry while they are in pain. You taught me how does it feel to love someone. I found the reason for my smile the day I found you. You are the one I wanted to find, to tell that I need you all my life, from this day on till the rest of my life. Sometimes I wonder are you Google search engine? Because you’ve got everything I’ve been searching for in life. You deserve the world and all the good things it has to offer. If I fail to find that world for you, I promise to give you mine! I would love for you to grow old with me! The best is yet to be and it begins from the moment you say yes! I love you so much baby"
That was more than enough for annika. She ran away while her heart broke into million pieces, tears made her vision blurry.
Those words touched bhavya's heart. She was overwhelmed like never before, tears streamed in her eyes
R: bhaiyya you just spoiled everything. This is not fair
Rudy whined like a kid
S: you might be the first one in the world who writing in paper and memorizing it to propose..
Shivaay chuckled
R: but whatever I wrote is what I want to tell her from the bottom of my heart. I swear, I meant those words... I am not good at explaining in poetic words. That's why I had taken om's help. I didn't want to disappoint her with saying my boring words. Especially on her special day. So..
He kept blabbering until bhavya hugged him tight 'I love you too baby' she whispered. His eyes widened in shock when she used such a endearment for the first time..
'Bhavya you called me baby'
He exclaimed pulling her out of the hug
B: Ha! Because you were crying like a baby right now
She teased to which he frowned and the room echoed with laughter of shivaay and bhavya
B: by the way om bhaiyya is a doctor, right..
S/R: a writer too
Both told together
Later, they cut the cake and fed each other. Rudy gifted her a adorable ring with beautiful bouquet. And a mesmerizing pendant was gifted by shivaay making the day a blissful one for her
Three of them had waited for annika before leaving the venue. But neither she showed up nor picked up shivaay's call
********
There, annika reached at her place and rushed towards her room. She closed the door behind with a thud before falling on her knees. She cried horribly
'You cheated me. You bl**dy chea.. You used to ask me right?! Why didn't I trust anybody. Now look what you gave me after trusting you. You did what I feared. I have told you again and again to leave me. But you didn't. For what?! To break my heart'
She cried before standing up on her weak legs. The next she did was throwing away everything came in her sight. Blood came out of her hands as she hit the sharp objects. Nevertheless she didn't care even a bit
' why did you make me fall for you. Why did you pretend to care for me? I hate you shivaay. I hate you for everything'
She yelled leaning against the wall.
' I never trusted or let anybody come closer. But in past few years I loved someone other than my dad. It was you, only you'
She fumbled while tears oozed out of her eyes..
' how could you do this to me'
She screamed throwing a vase which was left unharmed aside. Her eyes were bloodshot. She behaved like a mad but less cared. Later, her eyes caught sight of a knife beside. Slowly she grabbed it with her shaking hands. Holding it in front of her, she stared at it. Slowly an evil smirk formed on her lips
