Anika, gauri and bavya present their cake to rudra, it's the perfect chocolate cake but shivay walks over to the table and destroys the cake with his hands. Anika for the first time in ages feels happy to see his tadi back. She can finally see glimpses of the old shivay in this person. But very soon he goes back to his indifference look, but she is anika after all and she can't give so easily. Wiping the smile away from her face she brings back the anger and walks over to shivay, grabbing a handful of the smashed cake she smears it all over shivay's face.
Shivay stood still to have the cake rubbed on his face because he got her touch, the touch that he had been craving for the past 3 months. Her coming back to the mansion as the owner gave shivay a shock but at the same he was relieved that she was around him. He had tried to hate he in these past months but had failed because heart knew that whatever anika did to be thrown out of his life must have a reason behind it. He knew, he understood her more than she did herself, he couldn't believe that she is the gold digger she was pretending to be. Without thinking shivay also picked up the cake and returned the favour by covering her face in it too.
Soon a great big cake fight broke out between the oberio family members. Om and gauri cake faced each other as well as birthday boy rudra and bavya, not only them but even the elder family members also joined in. Everyone was running after one another like crazy, anika chased after shivay while he ran around the hall and the out into the pool area. She ran towards him but he moved out the way and she was about to fall into the pool but he couldn't let that happen. Shivay quickly grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her into him.
Falling into his arms bought an amazing sense of satisfaction to her heart, she looked into eyes but those eyes that once had love for her, that twinkled with mischief once were now dead. There was nothing in them anymore, she felt guilty for doing this to him, for killing apart of him and secretly promised to herself that she will bring him back no matter what. He started to let go steadying her on her feet but she stopped him by holding onto his hand. He stopped, she looked into his eyes once again but he wore his indifferent mask hiding his inner feelings. "Do you really not care" " no" "really I don't matter to you" "no" "you don't feel anything for me" "no".
Shivay was adamant not to admit how he was still affected by her, he didn't want to suffer the heartbreak again. But anika's determination was softening him up little by little. He wanted to walk away but couldn't as he had been longing for their moments together for months now, this here felt so good that he wasn't able to just walk away.
Still looking into his eyes, she bought his hand up and entwined their fingers together, she saw his expressions change, his eyes teared slightly as he sighed, "you still don't feel anything" "no". She moved her other hand to his face, starting from his hairline she traced his face with her fingers, moving down his cheek, caressing it, causing him to gasp. She lightly touched his lips with her fingertips and then rested her hand holding the side of his neck, "can you feel it now" "no", even though he was still denying it, she could see the love and passion slowly creeping back into his eyes.
She let go of his hand that she was holding and moved both of her arms around his neck, bringing her face close to his, she rubbed her cheek with his and whispered in his ears, " do you still not feel anything for me", he remained silent this time, but she felt his breathing deepen and his lips shiver next to her ear. His silence showed that he still had feelings for her but that wasn't enough for anika so she proceeded her mission of getting him to admit that he is still hers. She continued to caress his cheek with hers, his heart loving their closeness but his mind not wanting to go back there again, " you're not my wife anymore... you've lost the right to do this" he whispers in an attempt to stop her, somewhere deep inside wishing she didn't stop. "A piece of paper can't determine my right on you... and anyway a marriage is a life long commitment... you can't just break it". " you broke me though...why did you do it"
He was finally letting of his mask and allowing himself to voice his pain. She could feel his pain too, but she was relieved that finally he has started to react. "Why did you do it" he repeated, " I had no choice... please don't ask me why...if I could tell you then I would've told back then and not put both of through all this agony", she knew the extent of the damage she had done but it is time put things rights she thought. The only way forward was to be as honest as possible without hurting him any further. "How can I trust you again", he asked, knowing in his heart that the trust was still there, it was always there, he never believed she could gain any joy from breaking him.
Moving back slightly she once again looked into his eyes, this time she saw hurt pain, the wall of indifference has started to crumble and his feelings were starting to show through. " do you believe me" she asked nervously, fearing his answer. Still being able to read her eyes, shivay saw the pain, hurt that reflected his own but he also saw the love for him. Slowly nodding in agreement he hugged her tight. This was the best they had felt in a long time, enjoying the moment both allowed their pain to flush away through their tears as happiness once again warmed their hearts.
