The next morning anika woke up and threw her one hand out. She didn't feel shivaay there so she sat up and looked around. Her heart melted when she saw him sleeping with his head on the side of the bed. She touched his hairs and shivaay immediately woke up

Shivaay: anika tu uthgayi?

He gets up and again perches on the bed

Anika: agar itna space nahi tha bed per to mein so jati zameen per

Shivaay: esa kuch nahi hai

He cups her face

Shivaay: aab tabyat kese hai teri?

Anika: mein theek hoon

Shivaay: vese mujhe apna kal ka savaal ka jawab nahi mila abhi tak

Anika blushes

Anika: yes Mr Shivaay Singh Oberoi

Hearing a knock at the door the couple turns their heads towards Sakshi who is standing there

Sakshi: err bhaaiya kanna 20 mint mein ready honga

Shivaay: acha

Sakshi leaves and he turns to anika

Shivaay: tum jao aur fresh hoker aao

Anika: nahi aap pele jao kyu ki aapko office bhi jaana hai

Shivaay goes to washroom and freshens. Later both shivika with their unborn child come to the table

Pinky: agaye mere bache

Shivaay: good morning

Anika: kaane mein kya bana hai

Om: gobi pranthe

Anikas face lit up and rudra passed her the katori in which there were many pranthas. Anika was going to take it when shivaay took it from her hand and passed it on to others

Anika: shivaaaaay

She wails and pouts making everyone laugh at her antics

Shivaay: tere liye special vegetable soup hai

Anika: nahiiiiiiiii

She shreiks while shutting her eyes and covering her ears. All laugh again

Dadi: bete yeh tumhare liye aur bache ke liye bohot hi acha hai

Anika: lekin isme koyi taste nahi hai

Shivaay: chup chap peelo

Anika glances at Priyanka

Anika: Priyanka tune Shivaay ko bola tha mujhe yeh gandhi si soup lene ke liye hena?

Priyanka: bhaabi mene kuch nahi bola I swear

Sakshi: bhaaiya kisne aapko bataya

Shivaay: voh

Pinky: mene bola tha

Anika: aunty.......

She looks at shivaay who gives her a 'what u do that for' glare

Anika: i mean maa......yeh itni tasteless kyu hai

Pinky: shayad bina tastes ka hai lekin bilkul theek hai baby ke liye

Anika: maa.....

Pinky begins talking to her about how she used to drink all this whilst she was pregnant with shivaay. As she was sat next to pinky, anika drank all the soup unknowingly without fuss by the hands of her mother-in-law. All adored their bond

Pinky: yeh lo tune sab finish kiya

Anika looks at shivaay and then around.

Anika: kab? Kese? Mere matlab, saachi?

Priyanka: bhaabi agar aap chaye tho ek prantha le sakti

Shivaay: lekin......

Tej: kaane do yaar bachi ko

Anikas face lights up and she quickly feasts on the prantha before anyone can say her not too

Shivaay: sirf ek hi okay

Anika looks up at shivaay

Anika: arrey sirf ek hi kaari hoon baba

All chuckle and continue eating. All of a sudden anika cups her mouth

Sakshi: bhaabi kya hua

Anika immediately runs away with one hand cupping her mouth and the other clutching her stomach. Shivaay looks up

Shivaay: anika.......

Jhanvi: jao Shivaay

He excuses himself and runs after her. He chases her to find her in the washroom emptying her stomach in the basin

Shivaay: anika........

He runs to her and collects her hairs. He then rubs her back.

After a few minutes anika tries to get ul but due to weakness, she falls. Shivaay catches her and helps her wash her face

Shivaay: it's okay anika kuch nahi hua mein hoon na

They together walks out and he makes her lie down.

Shivaay: tu araam karo mein office jaara

Anika: okay

Shivaay: mein chutti le loo kya?

Anika: iske koy zaroorat nahi hai. Jao

He takes his bag and leaves not before pecking her lips. As soon as he leaves Anika bursts into tears

Anika: chutki sirf tujhko pata hai ki kitna pain hota mujhe. Please aao naa chutki. Kam se kam yeh batao ki mein kya karu. Mujhe Shivaay ko pareshaan nahi karna lekin itna bhi dard kese ho sakta. Agar iss parivaar nahi hoti tjo mein zaroor apne aap ko tere paas bejvati.

She hugs a pillow and the tears continue gushing out of her eyes like a waterfall. This is all witnessed by a pair of eyes.

Person: mujhe pata lagana ki Chutki kaun hai. Aur iss ladki bhi, itna dard seahti aur ese natak karti jese voh theek hai. Pagal ladki

The person sighs before entering the room

(Any guesses who the person is? Challo men batati)

(Agle part mein)

(Challo abhi hi batati)

The person sits beside the bed and strokes anikas hairs.

Anika: dadi?

She tries to get up but fails so dadi tells her to lie down. Anika lifts her head slightly and puts it in dadis lap

Anika: dadi aap

Dadi: puttar chutki kaun hai?

Anika sobs a little but then composes herself

Anika: chutki meri choti behn thi. Voh abhi zindi nahi hai

Dadi: tho agar to uske paas jaati to tu marjaon gi?

Anika: dadi mein yeh sab chutki ke liye kari. Aapko pata hai jab hum chote the voh bolti ki jab hum bade hote aur mere bache hote to voh duniya ke sabse bast maasi hogi. Jab mene poocha tha unke bache je baate mein usne kaha ki voh sirf mere bache ke dhyaan rakungi kyuki mein apne business mein busy rehaoungi

Dadi: konsi business?

Anika: dadi mujhe events management karna chaati thi jab mein bachi thi. I always used to decorate the house jab chutki ki happy birthday hoti aur muma papa ke bhi

Dadi: puttar mujhe poora yakeen hai ki tumhari bhen upar se tujhe dekhti hai. Aab voh sochri hai kya tujhe pata hai?

She shakes her head negatively

Anika: nahi tho

Dadi: voh sochri hai ki 'meri bhen itni kamzor hai ki apne bache ke liye roh ri. Use tho strong hona chaye. Mere liye'

Anika chuckles and wipes her tears

Dadi: sojao puttar

Anika sleeps in dadis lap
