Anika woke up to a weight on her stomach, along with soft, tiny hands moving across her face

Anika: arrey sone do yaar

She lifts the hands from her face and keeps them aside carefully, as she recognises the hands of her beautiful daughter. The small angel this time fed up with her Mumma not spending time with her, tries to stand on her. In her attempts, Chutki's little arms fling around and grabs the arms of her father for support. Anika immediately but carefully sweeps her hand near the legs of the baby and flips their position so that the child is lying on the bed, face covered with her mother's hair

Anika: Mumma ko uthaygi, huh

The helpless baby only laughs at Anika's fake anger and she raises her arms to push away the hair in between them

Anika: meri nani si jaan, meri cutipie, meri princess

With each name she kisses her face, resulting in the sweet melody of her giggles escaping the baby's mouth

Anika: challo, aaj Mumma tujhe ready kar lungi, aur phir teri Angel Dadi tujhe stories sunaogi, challo bathroom mein chalte

She gets up and the baby also folllows, trying to walk towards the door. Unfortunately as she tries to take a step, she falls on the floor, Anika who was up till now watching her moves from behind, moves to rush over. But a tight grip around her waist prevents her from proceeding any further

Anika: Shivaay yeh gir gayi

Shivaay: Shivaay Singh Oberoi ki beti hai, kuch tareeke se chalegi

They both turn their heads and see the baby quickly crawling. Taking the clothes, Anika goes as well but the grip on her waist doesn't loosen

Anika: Shivaay chodiye mujhe

Shivaay: nahi, pehle kiss de

Anika: kiss? Mein tori na doongi kiss

Shivaay: Chutki ko dene mein tune socha bhi nahi

Anika: kyuki voh meri soni si pari hai

Shivaay: toh mein bhi tere hot, handsome and dashing pati hoon

Anika: aap naa ek baat batao, agar ek din apne aap ki tareef nahi kiya, toh kya aapko height kam hogi?

Shivaay: not on the height yaar, sensitive subject hai

Anika: okay, ek kiss phir

Shivaay: do

She moves towards his lips but then last second her path changes and she plants a kiss on his cheek

Shivaay: yeh kya tha?

Anika: gadi tha, obviously kiss tha

Shivaay: lekin cheek per?

Anika: aapne tori naa bola ki maat per kiss karu yaa lips per, right?

Shivaay: acha phirse do

Anika: kyu, ek kaafi nahi tha?

Shivaay: iss baar lips per

Anika: sorry Shivaay Singh Oberoi, aap apne kisses ke limit ponch chuke hai, agar aapko aur chahiye, toh please baad mein arrangements karo, limit ko badal ne ke liye

She speaks with a voice similar to the airport announcements, making Shivaay burst out in laughter

Shivaay: okay lekin ek exemption

Anika: no, shaam me

Shivaay: Anika

Anika: Shivaay

Shivaay: I'll find my way

Anika: shayad bed per hai

Shivaay: kya?

His face turns to the bed and next thing he knows is Anika has pushed him onto the bed and quickly runs off to the washroom

Shivaay: chalaak hai yeh ladki

Heading towards the door, he moves down for breakfast and bumps into Bhavya on the way

Bhavya: good morning Bhaaiya

Shivaay: good morning, breakfast tiyaar hai?

Bhavya: ji, Bhaabi kaha hai?

Shivaay: Chutki ko ready kari hai, jaa sakti she's in the washroom

Bhavya: Thank you Bhaaiya

Bhavya heads towards the room and knocks at the washroom door

Anika: kaun hai?

Bhavya: mein, Bhavya

Anika: aajao

Bhavya enters the washroom and sees the baby in the small bathtub. On seeing her inly Chaachi, Chutki splashes her arms up and down in excitement, making water splash out of the bath

Bhavya: hey, Miss Chanda Singh Oberoi

In a joking manner, her two hands join to make a gun, and it is pointed in baby's direction. Our little angel remembers seeing this before, and just like her Rudy Chaachu surrenders to this police officer, her small arms also shoot up

Bhavya: awwww how cute

The raised hands quickly transform into the attempt to make her own gun from her hands, and points them at Bhavya

Anika: Chutki ese karo

Anika makes a gun and pretends to pull a trigger, so Chutki also does the same, but with a sound effect. Bhavya makes the acting of dying, only increasing the laughter

Bhavya: bilkul gundi hai yeh bachi

Anika: zaroor, acha batao, kohi kaam tha?

Bhavya: yes, darasal meine kal socha tha ki events tore on and off hai lately

Anika: mein samjhi nahi

Bhavya: pehle Oberois ki attack, saare goons ka murder hua. Phir a period of long happiness, matlab kohi problems nahi. Uske baad shaadi aur aap logo ka kidnapping ya kuch bhi hua. New York chalke vaha bhi kohi problem nahi tha

Anika: sahi bolri, lekin mein yeh nahi samajhti ki Tia Di chaahti kya? Kidnappers ne uski phone per call kiya but voh abhi kohi move nahi banari

Bhavya: humesha esi thi?

Anika: nahi, voh mujhse doh saal badi hai, aur mere humesha dhyaan rakhti thi. She used to take care of me and shout at elders jab vob mujhper chilate. Sirf kuch pichle saal yeh badli.

Bhavya: kahi esa na ho sakta kisi ne usko influence kiya, jese usko badkhaya aapke khilaf

Anika: ho sakta lekin I don't know who

Bhavya: acha anyways mein chalti, Police Station jaana hai aaj

Anika: theek hai, take care naa

Bhavya: aap bhi

She leaves and like this, the day continues as normal, everyone indulged in their own works, when Sakshi comes through the doors with her suitcase

Sakshi: kohi hai andhar?

Anika immediately looks to the source of the voice, and without wasting a second, runs to engulf her into a hug

Anika: Sakshi!

Sakshi: Bhaabi, kese ho aap?

Anika: mein theek, tu hi batao, Dehli wali ladki

Sakshi: sab sahi chalra hai

Pinky: Oh My Mata!! Meri Beti aagayi???

Pinky also exclaims, leading to all members of the family rushing downstairs

Shakti: kesi ho beti?

Sakshi: bilkul theek

Tej: betho naa

Gauri: aapko paani chaiye yaa Chai, coffee, cold drink?

Sakshi: Bhaabi chai mil sakta please?

Jhanvi: tera hi ghaar hai, sharmao maat

Dadi: Dehli kese tha?

Sakshi: nice, aur mujhe vaha shift hona

Shakti: lekin Sakshi

Sakshi: kya Papa? Mein khud decisions le sakti, I'm not a small girl. Aur ese tori na hoga ki hum milege nahi

Shakti: baat yeh nahi hai, balki vaha aaspaas kohi family member ya close friend/ relative nahi hai, naya jaga aur.... mein toh sirf tense hoon

Sakshi: Papa, mein theek hogi, bohot ache dost hai vaha

Om: tu kush hogi?

Sakshi: bohot

Om: toh theek hai phir

Sakshi: lekin sirf agar Papa ko mere decision ke saath hai, varna mein yahoo rakungi

Shakti: jaha teri kushi, vaha humare bhi hota hai. Sirf safety ke baare mekn hum concerned reh gaye

Jhanvi: acha yeh batao kab vaapis jaari?

Sakshi: Meri Titli ke 1st birthday ke hi baad, I don't want to miss that

Dadi: zaroor, humari choti bachi badi hori hai

Tej: abhi bhi yaad hai, jab pehle baar aayi, iss ghar mein

Shakti: mujhe Sakshi aur Priyanka ke yaad aaye, choti bachi

Anika: hai kaha?

Rudra: mere saath

Rudra walks in with the laughing baby in his arms. He continuously lifts the baby as if she is weights for fun

Sakshi: Meri Titli!

Running over she immediately takes the child, who smiles seeing the face

Sakshi: hey Chutki, mujhko pechana? Obviously, mein hoon teri favourite Bua, heina?

Dadi: Shukar Priyanka kaam per gayi, varna kya siyaape kadhe ho jaata

Sakshi: chalne shuru nahi kiya, naa?

Pinky: nahi lekein bohot tez chalti, bilkul Shivaay ki tarha

Jhanvi: kab kaha jaati pata hi nahi chalta

Sakshi: mein isse leh ri apne saath, Khannak samaan kamre mein chodho naa

Khannah: yes Ma'am

Anika: Bade Papa Shivaay ne kaha kab vaapis aayega?

Tej: actually humme bhi jaana hai, merting hai kuch ek ghante mein

Shakti: challe

Pinky: all the very bests of lucks

Shakti: deal leker hi aayenge hum

They both go out

Anika: mein bhi chalti, Tia se milne

Pinky: naa, tu nahi jaayegi

Jhanvi: kyu nahi, jaa sakti Anika, challe jao

Pinky: meine kaha tha nahi, matlab nahi

Dadi: kya hua Pinky?

Pinky: mein apni beti ko Tia jesi khatharnaak ladki ko milne se kese manna nahi kar sakti? Yaad nahi hai usne kya kya kiya

Jhanvi: oh haa, sorry beta lekin yeh better hoga ki tu naa ja

Gauri: kya kiya usne, Tia Di, right?

Pinky: hum chaar ki kidnappings kiya, aur kuch bhi

Gauri: Sach?

Anika: Maa mujhe pata chalna ki usne esa kyu kiya, Kyu humare peeche hai, bohot ajeeb hai. Bachpan mein yeh esi nahi thi, meri dhyaan rakhti thi

Jhanvi: lekin phir bhi Anika, kya kya ho sakta

Pinky: jab Shivaay vaapis aajata, tab jao

Rudra: yar Bhavya or Police ke saath jao

Om: akele tho bilkul nahi

Anika: aap shayad bhool gaye ki kesi bahu mein hoon, haddi thodker aa sakti mein

Pinky: aur agar kuch ho jaata toh?

Anika: nahi hoga Maa, I'll be careful

Om: baat careful hone ka nahi hai, baat safety precautions lene ka hai

Anika: Bhavya ko bataker jaaoungi mein, kuch nahi hoga

Jhanvi: risk nahi le sakte, samajh lo

Gauri: Di yeh be yaad karo ki choti bachi hai, kuch ho jaata toh phir kya jawab dege hum?

Anika: Aap log samajhne ki koshish kar, voh log kabhi bhi kuch kar sakte, aur iss parivaar ke safety meri priority hai. Mein bohot careful hogi

Dadi: Point toh hai, lekin puttar doosre thareeke hai naa

Om: toh phir mein bhi chalta

Anika: Om please, aap ghar per jab Shivaay aa jaata toh usse samjhal aur.....

Rudra: Bhaabi Shivaay Bhaaiya ka meeting hai, time se aajayega, aur aap kehre hai ki tum vaapas nahi hoge jab voh aata hai?

Anika: aur agar voh jaldi aaja ta phir?

Gauri: Di mujhe yeh bilkul acha nahi lagta

Dadi: Khannah ko saath leker jao

Anika: Thank you Dadi, dekhna, mein sahi salamat ghar aaoungi

Pinky: Gauri aajao mandir mein

Gauri: haa, challo

After waiting for Khannah, the two go towards Tia's house and on the way, inform Bhavya of their whereabouts.

Anika: Khannah Bhaaiya aap bhaar rukhiye, mein andhar jaari

Khannah: yeh li jiye Anika Di, bluetooth device hai

Anika: Thanks

She goes off and walks to the entrance of the mansion

Man: Kisse milna hai?

The security guard asks Anika on her way

Anika: Miss Tia Kapoor se milna hai

Man: ghar per nahi hai

Anika: pata hai kab aayegi? Ya kaha gayi, mein uski cousin sister hoon, Anika

Man: Anika, hmm?

Anika: ji haa, Anika

Man: attack!

He shouts loudly and all of a sudden, a few armed men pick up their guns and begin firing in her direction. Anika immediately runs back to the car and the door is already open by Khannah after hearing the gunshots. Without wasting any more time, they both drive off

Khannah: Aap theek hai Anika Di

Anika: haa, thank God meine bulletproof vest pehna tha. achanak se sab kuch hua, mujhper goli kyu mare the?

Khannah: zaroor uss ghattiyan Mrs Kamini Kapoor ne kiya hai ya uski beti

Anika: ghar per nahi the dono

Anika's mobile phone begins to ring and she picks up the call after seeing Bhavya's name as the caller ID

Anika: haa bol Bhavya

Bhavya: Bhaabi aap kaha hai iss vact?

Anika: kyu? tu itni ghabrahi kyu lagri?

Bhavya: Anika Bhaabi kohi logo ne Oberoi Industries mein ghussker logo Bhaaiya ko dhoond re hai

Anika: Kya?!! Oberoi's ko?

With this Khannah increases the speed of the car and drives towards the Office

Anika: Tu vaha hai?

Bhavya: police teams hai lekin action lene ke orders nahi diya gaye

Anika: aab yeh kya musibaat hai, Papa, Shivaay aur Bade Papa vaha hai, Oh God, hum aare hai

Bhavya: Bhaabi hum police hai naa, aur kohi risky move nahi le sakte. Ek galat kadam aur 1000 of lives are at stake, employees and all

Anika: Shivaay ko pata hai?

Bhavya: abhi tak nahi, hum usse call karne wale the

Anika: mein karti please

Bhavya: okay

Anika: Khannah jaldi chalao

She ends one call and hurriedly begins another one

Anika: Shivaay

Shivaay: hey Anika, actually I was about to call you.....

Anika: kaha hai aap aur kiske saath?

Shivaay: Dad, Bade Papa ke saath and Imyin office.....kya....kyu....kuch hua

Anika: kamre boldo

Small tears brim in her eyes and her voice slightly cracks. The mere thought of anything happening to her love makes her heart clench inside her, as if trying to stop itself.

Shivaay: hum mere office mein hai, my room

Anika: jaldi kohi storeroom ya janitors closet mein jao, aap teeno jaldi abhi ke abhi right now

Shivaay: kuch hua kya?

Anika: Shivaay log hai aapke office mein, joh aapko maarna chaahte, isi liye jao kahi chuplo Papa aur Bade Papa ke saath

Shivaay: what?

How to react? Scared? Afraid? Nervous? Should he be the strong one? What will the family do when they know what's going on? Numerous questions sprouted in his head, and Shakti took the phone from him as he had no reply for a while

Anika: Shivaay please don't blank out, jaldi kahi chup li jiye ise pehle kohi aapko dhoondh ker maar daale, please Shivaay

Tej also hears this and begins panicking as well. If their sherni bahu is tense then this definitely not some choti moti baat.

Shivaay: storeroom jaate, jaldi

Shivaay takes some sort of control over the situation and tries to lead his father and Bade Papa to safety.

Meanwhile, Anika and Khannah soon reach outside and the two immediately rush to Bhavya

Bhavya: Bhaabi, fikar maat ki jiye, Bhaaiya theek hoga

Anika: Papa aur Bade Papa bhi hai

Khannah: Anika Di yeh lo Building ka blueprint

Bhavya: blueprint?

Anika: mein andhar jaari

Bhavya: pagaal ho gayi aap? Nahi mein ese hone nahi deh sakti

Anika: agar isse baad tujhe meri arrest kar wani hai toh ki jiye, lekin mein Oberois ko kisi bhi nuksaan tak ponchne naho doongi

Bhavya: pehle aapko mere supervisor se permission lena hai, shayad voh aapko team ke saath andhar jaane dega

Anika: kaha hai voh

Bhavya: aaye

Bhavya leads Anika to a tall man dressed in uniform smartly

Bhavya: Officer Ranveer Singh Randhawa Sir

Ranveer: yes ACP Bhavya

Bhavya: yeh Mrs Anika Shivaay Singh Oberoi, Undercover agent aur Academy ki best. Voh aapke team ko join karna chaathi

Ranveer: nahi, yeh bhi Oberoi hai aur kyuki it's family matter I can't let you go, emotional ho jayegi aap

Anika: Excuse me Mr Ranveer Singh Randhawa, mein kaam aur personal life mix nahi karti, aur I am the best agent in my field toh mujhe nahi bejna naa insaafi hoga

Ranveer: theek hai, ACP Bhavya this is on you

Anika: okay mein jaari

Bhavya: sab theek hoga Bhaabi

Anika goes in nervously. She's handled situations like this before where she has to take a stand and rescue someone, but today seems very different for her. Maybe it's the fact her father-in-laws and husband are being searched for by these goons. She never thought that her teasing Shivaay would be their last interaction, and she was still praying it wouldn't be.

All these innocent people, simply at work or for a meeting, none of these are aware that disguised goons are trespassing around the building

Her hand gripped tighter on the weapon she had in her hands, hidden with her cardigan. It's hard to tell who is unaware of the issue, going on about their normal daily lives and who is possessing weapons and roaming.

With every step she took, Anika only felt uttermost discomfort thinking if Shivaay was found then what would happen. Quickly but as calmly as she could be, Anika quietly ran to the storeroom which attracted her like a magnet. Her trembling hand reached the door knob and she tried to twist it open

Shivaay: Shhh, kohi hai vaha

Shakti: joh Anika ne kaha.... goons ho sakte

On the inside of the door, the men were afraid, not even imagining being in such a situation before really didn't help and here Shakti grabbed his chest suddenly

Shivaay: Dad

Trying not to shout, Shivaay was alarmed. On one side his father was experiencing shortness of breath in this mayhem but also, the three of them could have their lives snatched with the opening door. Tej's eyes caught a glimmer as if something was slipped underneath the door

Tej: vaha dekh, Shivaay, darvaasa ke neeche kuch hai

Shivaay: Dad paani peelo

Shivaay gives a glass of water and then with fear, cautiously approaches the door. His hands slowly reach the piece of jewellery which was slid underneath the door. Identify the Chand Bracelet, his heart found some sort of relief in this chaos

Shivaay: Anika. Anika hai Dad, Bade Papa, chinta maat karo

Tej: Shakti deep breaths

Shivaay's hands reach the lock of the door and carefully turn the handle. On opening it, he catches a mere glimpse of Anika before a group of people rush in and reach Shakti and Tej

Tej: yeh ache se saans nahi le paara hai

The police team escort Shakti out of the room with assistance and soon he is followed by Tej

Ranveer: good job Mrs Anika

He turns back but doesn't see anyone left apart from Shivaay

Ranveer: Mr Oberoi

Shivaay: Anika kaha gayi?

Ranveer: aap neeche aa jaye, Mrs Oberoi ko hum dhoond lenge

Shivaay: mein bhi aata

Ranveer: police orders Mr Oberoi

Shivaay: bhaad mein gaya police orders

Aggressively shaking off his hold, Shivaay chases in the direction his dil-ka-navigator is leading him.

Anika: kohi hai?

A few floors down, Anika reaches another empty space. Someone ought to be here, the majority of the office thinks it's a simple ordinary working day. Cautiously taking baby steps, she looks around and immediately has set backs of coming here. Why didn't she stay behind with Shivaay? Why does she feel the need to find the root of each problem? Can't she just be satisfied with her husband fit and fine?

A cable lead is swung over her eyes and tugged at her neck. Anika begins to cough and splutter as her hands try to free herself from the tight hold around her neck. She kicks and tries to hit her attacker but her attempts all go in fail. However, Anika doesn't loose hope. She's determined to see Shivaay and grab him in her arms. She struggles even more and more, despite her energy nearly out. Suddenly, her kicks become less powerful. Her body stops shaking in struggle. Her hands leave the wire around her neck. Her eyes shutting

Bang!

The strangler falls to the ground after being hit with great force on the head. The goon immediately falls unconscious and drops leaving Shivaay behind him

Shivaay: Anika, Anika utho

He takes the cable from her neck and pats her cheeks. Her eyes slightly open and seeing this, Shivaay immediately locks his lips with hers. The fear, anger, anxiety Shivaay had was all poured out in this kiss, and it restored Anika's lost energy. He's okay, he's fine

Bang!
