It was well past midnight when Shivaay and Annika reached their new home.Both being exhausted after the day's events,they'd gone straight to sleep.So when Annika woke up the next morning, it took her a few minutes to register the alien surroundings.Their room had been prepared by one of the many staff the Oberois had.Albeit being much smaller than their room in OM,it was well furnished, and also much brighter in terms of the paint.It was when Annika finished admiring their new bedroom,that she noticed Shivaay was missing.Freshening up,she wandered out into the hall,feeling quite lost.The apartment was quite large, but somehow warm and cozy and instantly gave her the feeling of being at home.Managing to find the kitchen, she found Shivaay making breakfast.He was already dressed up in his usual attire, and was whistling while frying what looked like puris.The picture was quite odd, but overwhelmed Annika with emotions.Here was her husband,who had left his family to be with her, and was now making her favorite breakfast without any sort of remorse whatsoever.

"I see miss sleeping beauty is finally awake." Shivaay said, breaking Annika out of her reverie.

"Yeah well,not everyone is as robotic as you to be able to get up so early.I mean, we barely just slept a few hours ago!" Annika answered with a frown,perching herself up on the counter.

Shivaay just smiled.

"Anyway,Ive got your favourite aloopuri almost ready.Let's have breakfast;I need to leave for office after that."

Annika scrunched her nose.

"You're leaving for office?" She asked. "What will I do home alone the entire day,huh?I don't even know what place this is, so I can't possibly go out or anything!"

Shivaay sighed.

"Of course I have to go to office,Annika.We're not on a holiday,are we?"

"I never said we were" She muttered sulkily.

Shivaay moved closer to Annika and cupped her face.

"I have a lot of meetings so I have to go." He said,as if explaining to a child. "If you're bored,take Khanna with you and go roam around this place ,alright?Its a beautiful area."

"Okay," Annika nodded in understanding. "But will you be back soon?"

"I'll try.Can't promise anything." Shivaay started setting up the small table beside the kitchen,while Annika only scowled, muttering "Sadu Singh Oberoi" under her breath.However, she had to admit that she was already enjoying this new life-waking up to breakfast by her husband,asking him to return soon from office, and the likes. These simple pleasures couldn't be experienced in the Oberoi Mansion, where the both had always been busy with other works.In fact, after marriage, this was probably the first normal morning the two were having.

"Will you just keep staring at me the whole day or come and have breakfast too?" Shivaay asked with an arrogant smirk.

Annika blushed.She hadn't realised that she had indeed been staring at this gorgeous man.

"What nonsense!I wasn't staring!" She retorted while taking a seat in front of him, trying to cover up her embarrassment at getting caught.

"Come on, Annika.It won't kill you admit that you were checking me out.After all, I am very handsome!"

Annika snorted. "Huh, you and handsome?Don't start joking so early in the morning,Shivaay!"

She could barely control her laughter when she saw his bewildered expression at her words.

"What do you mean?I know you think I'm handsome.In fact, wasn't it you who said I looked better than those angrez in my wine coloured suit?"Shivaay gave a triumphant smile.

"I did.And you do look good in that jamuni suit.But I never said anything about you looking good otherwise..." Annika trailed off, while munching on the delicious aloopuri and trying hard to keep a straight face. Shivaay only gaped at her, his perfectly cooked lasagna left half eaten.

"Oh,so you don't think I'm handsome?" Shivaay asked , trying to prompt her into admitting.

"Um,aren't you getting late for office?" Annika asked innocently, trying to avoid answering.

"Yeah,yeah,I am." Shivaay answered, shaking himself up.The rest of their breakfast was spent in silence, as Annika relished at having one up on her husband, and Shivaay sat fuming, attacking his breakfast with the fork.

After they had finished eating and cleaning up the table, Shivaay picked up his phone and briefcase, and proceeded to leave after wishing his wife goodbye.However, he stopped at the door, stared at her as she advanced towards their room, and muttered while pouting,

"Does she really not think I'm handsome?"
