Part 5

Anika woke up sweating, scared of the horrible nightmare she has been having for the past 2 days. She looked around frantically and found Rudra and Om sleeping on the floor next to her side of the bed and then saw Ishaana next to her. She wasn't alone, she tried to calm her heart and reached for the bottle on her bedside table only to find it empty.

Oh no!

Deciding to go to the kitchen, she quietly stepped around the brothers. "I bet Rudra finished my water" she chuckled and made her way out.

Shivaay was in the kitchen, checking the oven. He was done mopping and it was time to win back his wife. He had made a mistake but he will rectify it and win her heart. He planned to apologise, shower her with love and never hurt her again till his last breath. He was alone in this battle but so be it. He didn't need help with this anyway. He made the mistake so he will fix it. He had decided to make her favourite chocolate cake to start with.

The way to ones heart is through the stomach right?

Or does that only apply for me? Sh*t! Im so bad at this

NO! Im Shivaay Singh Oberoi. I can do this. Anika is my wife. She's only mine.

He was so lost in his thoughts that he was startled when he heard her gasped. Accidentally, his upper hand touched the over as he was still checking the cake and got burnt. He hissed and pulled his hand out, blowing onto it. Anika rushed, dropping the empty bottle and took his hand in hers. Shocked, Shivaay stared at her but she was in a panic mode.

"Oh god Shiv, how can you be so careless? Look what happened. What are you even making at this time? Quick..." she pulled him to the sink and opened cold water on his burn, in the process soothing his heart as well. He was still staring at her in shock when she finally realised she was holding his hand, caring about him. She let go of his hand and quickly turned around to run away when he held her hand and stopped her.

Tu jaan hain, armaan hai

Mere pyaar ki pehchaan hai

Par tori tori tu nadaan hai

Astonished, Anika turned and looked at him. He was... singing? To her?

Tu jo kahegi main vaise karunga

Teri har zid ko pura karoonga

Kneeling down, he held her hands and locked his eyes to hers. Anika froze, not knowing how to digest this. The Shivaay Singh Oberoi was singing to her. Where did the sun rise today?

Chalo baba maaf karo hass bhi do

Meine dil saaf kiya keh bhi do

He put his hands on his heart and bowed down, his head resting on the back of her hands. She pulled her hands back and wiped her tears before he could look up. He was making this hard for her. But just because he sang a song doesn't mean she would forgive him. It would take more than that. The scars were deep and she didn't know if she could overcome it. She turned to go when his last words stopped her.

Rootna manana hai pyar ki adaa

Kaise jiyunga main tumse hoke judder

She didn't turn back but perhaps this was a good thing. He couldn't look into her eyes yet and he needed to get everything off his chest. He needed to tell her how sorry he was, how much he loved her and that he would do anything and everything he could to win her heart and make her love him again. He was willing to lay out his heart.

"I'm sorry" this shocked him as much as her because it was the first time he didn't stammer while saying it. "I was wrong. I know that now. I... I got jealous" he admitted, his cheeks turning pink. She faced him and when she didn't say anything he took it as a positive sign to continue. "I saw you with Siddharth and I got jealous. I didn't realise it then but in anger I... I lost it and blamed you. I.. I shouldn't have. I have hurt you a lot and I don't know where to start with the apology. Im sorry for doubting on you, Im sorry for even thinking that my baby... " her breath hitched when he said it was his baby and she met his gaze. "I remember now. I should have remembered but I was drunk which still doesn't justify my actions. Im sorry for hurting you again and again. I know it's hard to forgive me. Heck I wouldn't forgive me too but I'm selfish Anika, I'm selfish because I can't live without you" he took a step towards her as she stepped back. "I love you" he whispered, trapping her against the fridge. She looked at him surprised as she tried to make sense of what he was telling her. "Won't you forgive your Stupid Singh Oberoi? Your Bagad Billa? Your Not So Mahaan Dumbo Idiot Singh Oberoi? ... Your Shiv?" he trailed off, tears in his eyes. He was willing to adopt a thousand new names. Hell he was willing to start naming everything like her. She cried silently, her heart couldn't handle this. Oh she loved him too. So much. Too much. But her wounds were still raw. It was too soon, if he had said things about her she probably would have been able to forgive him but what he thought about the baby hurt her on another level. As a mother she was standing up for her child.

"I... I need time" she said, looking down. "Your apology doesn't reverse everything Shi... Mr Oberoi" he moved back and she started walking away.

"Take your time Anika. Just know that I will always be here whenever you are ready" He shouted behind her, making her heart skip a beat.

I am going to win your heart Mrs Anika Shivaay Singh Oberoi.

He would never give up. Not until his last breath. She was his and he intended to make her his by all means. He had never felt love so profound and so deep and now that he's found it, he wouldn't let it go. She needed time so he will give her time. Every single time in the world. He was Shivaay Singh Oberoi and if his wife asked something, then she would get it. But just because she asked for time doesn't mean he would just sit back and wait. Oh no! He would become the perfect husband and the perfect dad.

Dad

It feels... nice

My baby

If we have a daughter she would look just like Anika

Daughter? She will call me papa

His thoughts broke when the oven timer went off and he remembered his cake. Quickly taking it out, he started decorating it.

...

Just outside the kitchen Omkara and Rudra were watching everything. They were glad Shivaay finally realised his mistake and apologised but they knew Anika would not forgive him that easily. And they totally understood. Even though they were angry and disappointed with Shivaay doesn't mean they didn't feel bad for him. They knew he was regretting and was in pain but this is the one battle he would have to fight by himself. They didn't take Anika's Rakhi for nothing. She was their sister if not by blood and they would protect her. Even from Shivaay. Anika saw them when she came out and stopped dead in her tracks.

"Uh... I came to get water"

"Okay" they said in unison, noticing no water bottle in her hand. She realised she left her empty bottle on the floor and turned to the kitchen but hesitated.

"I will get it. You go." Om said, smiling gently at her. She gave him a relieved smile and made her way to the room with Rudra. Om stepped in the kitchen to find Shivaay decorating a cake. He was writing something on top of the cake and was in deep concentration. Without a word he picked up the bottle and refilled it with water. Shivaay saw him and stopped what he was doing.

"Om"

"I will forgive you when she does Shivaay" he said simply.

"I know. And I promise I will get her forgiveness. I'm sorry Om. I have hurt Anika and I know she is more than your sister so I need to apologise to you too. Please don't hate me" he said sadly. The feeling of his brothers deserting him, hating him hurt just as much as the feeling of Anika hating him. They were everything to him.

"I don't hate you Shivaay. Im just disappointed. I will always love you but I can't be by your side this time"

"Im not telling you to be, Im happy you are standing by Anika. Im proud of you. I know you will look after her and never let anything happen to her. I don't know how to thank you" he said, his eyes honest. Anika was in good hands.

Om nodded, understanding his brother's feelings. "No need. Convince her fast, if there's someone who can do it, it's you" he said, boosting Shivaay's confidence. He might not be standing by his side but he always got his brother's back.

...

Anika woke with the most wonderful aroma around her. Was she dreaming? It smelt like ... Aloo Paratha? Other than her, no one makes that in this house. Following the scent, she found herself in the dining room and saw the table filled with freshly cooked breakfast. Wow. Suddenly she was famished. Like she hadn't eaten for days.

So Bagad Billa cooked

Smells nice... No Anika no. You are not forgiving easily, especially not because of food.

Let him grovel... But shall I eat it or not?

She looked around and didn't see anyone. It was quick late, everyone must have gone by now. Dadi must be in her room and Ishaana would be with Om in his studio. Rudra was probably at college and that Baggad Billa at office. So the coast was clear. She tried hard to resist the food but her cravings got the better of her and she gave in. Her baby was stubborn just like... Shaking her thoughts for taking that direction, she quickly sat down and served herself. Still looking around for any sign of danger aka Shivaay Singh Oberoi, she quickly started eating.

Hmmm so good

Shivaay stood behind the pillar and looked at her. He knew she wouldn't eat it if he was there so when he saw her coming out of the room he quickly hid. He didn't want to spoil her appetite and needed her to eat, for herself and for their baby. He even made fresh juice so he gets plenty of vitamins and energy. Nothing less for his Anika. With a dreamy smile, he watched her eat. He had cleared his scheduled for a few months. He decided to work from home and take care of Anika, fulfil her every wish, her every needs. He would look after her like she looked after him till now.

...

"Listen, take this cake to the dining table" Shivaay gave the cake he made in the middle of the night to the servant. He watched as she eyed the cake, her eyes softening.

Please please please at least have one piece

As if she heard him, Anika quickly cut a piece of cake and groaned with pleasure as it made its way down her throat. Okay so it was the best cake she had ever eaten. She knew he made it as she would know his cooking even in sleep but she couldn't resist the cake. Well she was pregnant and had cravings, it's totally justified, doesn't mean she would admit eating it though. Making sure she was still alone, she quickly made her way to her room. Shivaay watched her with an amused smile.

Kitni pyari hain

...

3 months later.

Shivaay had tried everything to convince her. He cooked everyday and made sure she ate. Even if he had to stay away from the table. He brought her flowers everyday and always kept it next to her during the night so she wakes up with it's fragrance. He always tried different healthy milkshakes for her and the baby. She didn't say anything but she drank it and that made him happy. Most importantly, he had started building the nursery but in secret. He emptied the room next to theirs and had started painting it himself. At first he was confused, he didn't know anything about painting but luckily Om helped him. He had caught Shivaay sneaking boxes in that room a few weeks ago in the middle of the night and found out he was redecorating the room. Sheepishly, Shivaay told him what he was planning and Om was surprised. Shivaay had then requested him to help with the colours but Om offered to help. And what a big help it was. They had painted the room together, although Om didn't say much but he was there with him. He said he was doing it for the baby. For whatever reason, Shivaay was still happy. Om the painted beautiful cartoons around and now Shivaay was planning to start buying new furnitures. But he also needed Anika's opinion and that wasn't easy. He needed someone else's help and he knew just the right person.

Rudra

Rudra tried to stay stern towards Shivaay but he also loves him very much. Yes, for the past few months he has been on his Anika bhabhi's side but he secretly helped them too. Whenever Shivaay made something for Anika, Rudra would always take it to her. He knew that she knew it was from Shivaay but she couldn't refuse him so it worked out well. He knew Om and Shivaay were planning something also but he hasn't figured out what yet.

"Rudra" Shivaay called out and stepped into his room.

"Haan bhaiyaa" he answered but didn't turn around to look at him. Only because he missed him so much and craved a hug. He would break down and he promised himself he would only forgive Shivaay when his bhabhi does.

"Erm.. I.. I need your help" he hesitated.

"Bhaiyaa.. I.."

"It's for Anika. Please" He was desperate. He needed Rudra's help at any cost.

"For bhabhi? Okay, what is it?" he agreed.

"Thank you. Thank you. Okay listen... " Rudra looked at him finally and smiled. Shivaay told him what to do and they devised a plan. It had to work.

...

Anika was in the living room with dadi and Omkara. While Omkara was massaging dadi's head with oil, she was lost in thoughts, holding a pregnancy book. The past few months were the hardest time in her life. She lived under the same roof with Shivaay but was so far from him. He tried so many things to convince her and she knew about it. Everything had his essence and thought and she appreciated it. But she still didn't know why she didn't forgive him. She wanted to... Oh she so wanted to and nearly did but she held back. She missed him so much though, every single day, every single minute. Sometimes early morning, just before he wakes up, she would go to his room and just look at him from the door. She didn't step in though, she couldn't. She always found him on her side of the bed, holding her saree. He would mumble and try looking for her in his sleep and then frown when his hand met nothing. She had cried silently, biting into her hand to not make any noise. She wanted to hug him and forgive him but she couldn't. Not yet.

A few weeks ago he had started putting flowers next to her bed, every night. The first time she saw it she was startled. Her favourite flowers? But she knew he brought it. She didn't say anything and ignored it. But then the next day there was another fresh flowers. She squashed the rising hope in her heart and ignored it again but that night she waited. She waited for him to come with the flowers and when she heard footsteps, she pretended she was asleep.

Shivaay silently came to her room and was so quiet no wonder she didn't hear him the previous nights. He had put her flowers on the bedside table and then sat next to her. She felt the bed dip but didn't stir. Her heart was beating fast and she wanted to know what he would do. He didn't move for so long she had thought he went but then she heard him sobbing.

Is he crying?

He still didn't say anything but suddenly his palm was on her stomach. She frozen and held back a gasp. His touch, after so long, still had the same effect. It ignited a feeling and sent electric shock to every fibre of her being. She needed to stay still but with his hand on her stomach, it was making her want to do things she didn't even know about. He caressed her small bulge where their baby rested. She took a small risk and peeked at him but he was gazing at her stomach with so much love, she quickly closed her eyes. She needed to control her damn heart.

"Im so sorry baby. I have hurt you and your mummy but I will do everything to it make up to both of you. Please forgive your papa..." he cried, putting his head lightly on her stomach. She squeezed her eyes and held the comforter tightly so she doesn't pull him to herself. "I promise I will always take care of both of you. I love you and your mummy a lot" he kissed her belly and whispered to it. She tried to listen but couldn't hear.

Getting up, he bent and kissed her forehead and lightly pecked her lips whispering "I love you" against it and left. She let out a huge breath and got up quickly. She saw him walking away and raised her hand to call him out but stopped herself.

What are you doing Anika?

Control yourself

...

"Bhabhi!!" Rudra skipped to the living room happily, breaking Anika's thoughts. She realised she was thinking about him again but it wasn't surprising. This is a daily thing now.

"Yes Rudra" She replied, putting her book down.

"Bhabhi, I need help!" he whined and sat down next to her with his iPad.

"Arre. Im here, tell me what you need help with" she said, diverting her full attention on him.

"You know bhabhi, my friend, Nisha, her sister is getting a baby and it's her baby shower. And of course I have to give the best gift" he said happily.

"Bas?" she laughed "What have you thought to get her?"

"I was thinking a cot" he said, looking at Shivaay behind the pillar and winked at him. Shivaay smiled and winked back.

"Okay then get one"

"But there are so many and I have no idea how to choose. You choose one please, you have great taste. You are the great Anika bhabhi jaan, meri shaan.."

"Okay bas bas. I get it. Common show me then" he quickly started browsing through different baby furniture and made her choose. He didn't stop at cot though, he ended up getting her opinion on different colours and furniture for a baby room.

"Thank you so much bhabhi, now bah... I mean now I can give the best gift" he laughed nervously and ran off.

"Kamal hai" she said, not understanding his behaviour.

...

"The plan worked bhaiyaa" Rudra jumped on Shivaay in excitement and hugged him. Realising what he just done he quickly stepped back. "Uh woh.. sorry..I.." He stammered and looked down.

"Thank you Rudra" Shivaay said, he was happy his brother hugged him after such a long time, he missed it. He knew it was in excitement but it still felt nice.

"No problem. Now what?" he said, excited about the nursery. When Shivaay told him earlier he was very happy. He was actually impressed his brother came up with this idea.

"Now we go shopping!" Shivaay said, smiling.

...
