Nearly a week later, Bhavya and Gauri knock on the room door, where Anika is with her daughter. Shivaay told both the girls to meet Anika, and they wondered what the matter was

Anika: ajao Gauri Bhavya

Bhavya: aapne hum dono ko yaha kyu bulaya

Anika: mujhe tum dono se baat karni hai

Gauri: kis baare mein?

Anika: pregnancy. Shivaay Om aur Rudra se baat kara hai

Gauri: kuch hua kha?

Anika: nahi sirf baat karni thi. Acha pehla cheez yeh hai, ki iss time ka poora faida uthao. Om bohot caring hai Gauri, voh tumhe kush hi rakhunga poore pregnancy ke period mein. Aur Bhavya, Rudra jitna bacha lagta hai, aab dheere dheere mature hora hai

Bhavya: voh mein notice kari thi, pichle kuch hafton mein

Anika: agar back mein dard hora ya pear sujhe hue hai, toh batao please. Meine nahi bataya Shivaay ko aur bohot dard hua

Bhavya: kyu nahi bataya?

Anika: shayad mujhe unko pareshaan nahi karna, ya shayad kyuki mujhe laga ki agar mein usse batao, voh mujhe agle din vegetables hi khilaaunga

They giggle a bit at this statement

Gauri: lekin Om mere pear nahi chuh sakta

Anika: toh phir mujhe bulao, lekin zaroor batana

Bhavya: Bhaabi aap cravings kese manage karti?

Anika: bolo apne pati ko, ki bhook lagi. Dekh, healthy foods kaana padega, lekin theek hai, treats kaah sakte. Actually, New York mein roadside per pani puri stalls nahi milte, toh Malika ne ghar per banaya

Gauri: Bhavya ka toh morning sickness shuru hoga naa?

Anika: theek hoga

Gauri: Di, aapke pregnancy ke vact, aap darti thi?

Anika: kyu?

Gauri: matlab, aapko dar nahi lagta ki kahi baby ko kuch ho jata toh....?

Anika: nahi Gauri, ese negative thoughts mein maat ghusso. Tum dono bohot careful ho. Ese nahi sochte

Gauri: Omkara mujhpe gussa hoga ki mein apne bache ko takleef ponchaya

Bhavya: Gaur Bhaabi, esa kuch nahi hoga. Hum sab hai naa aapke paas?

Gauri: pata nahi lekin ese khyaal aate haj mujhko

Anika: mujhe bhi bure sapne aate the, lekin fikar maat karo

Chutki stirs in her sleep, then wakes up

Chutki: Mumma

Anika: haa bebu?

Chutki: kaani time

Anika: kahaani time? Okay. Aaj Bhavya Chaachi tujhe story sunaogi

Gauri: chall bistar mein ghuss jaate

Gauri lies on one end of the bed next to Chutki and Bhavya comes in from the other side next to the child. Anika fits on the end and lets Bhavya begin her story

Bhavya: ek din, there was a small little girl called.....

Gauri: Chutki

Chutki: mein?

Anika: haa

Bhavya: Chutki bohot strong thi, kyu ki voh ache se apna kaana khaati

Chutki: mein kaana khaati

Gauri: haa, bilkul good girl jese

Bhavya: toh, kuch mahine baad, Chutki ki Gauri Massi ke paas ek baby aayi, choti si baby girl

Gauri: phir Chutki ne khoo khela baby ke saath, aur stories sunai

Bhavya continues her story, engaging t he child. After a while, she finishes and finds the baby asleep, hugging her

Bhavya: so gayi

Anika: good. Tum bhi so jao

Bhavya tries to get up but Chutki doesn't let her move

Anika: tu yahi reh jaa

She looks over on the other side of Chutki and see Gauri fast asleep

Anika: yeh bhi so gayi

Bhavya: Bhaabi aap?

Anika: mein manage kar lungi

Bhavya: are you sure

Anika: haa. Bhavya tu bohot achi Maa banegi. Itne ache stories sunke tumhare bache bohot smart hoge, tumhare jese

Bhavya: thank you Bhaabi. Chutki ke vajhe se hume kuch practice mile, varna pata nahi aapne kese pehli baar handle kiya

Anika: agar inti itni supportive parivaar hota, apne aap kaam asaan ho jayega

Bhavya soon doses of, meanwhile ShivOmRu are sitting by the poolside

Om: Baby hone ke baad sab kuch badlega

Rudra: haa

Shivaay: tu khud bacha hai, bichaari Bhavya ko extra kaam karna padega

Rudra: nahi mein bada hoon aab

Om: oh okay, dekhte kitna vact ke liye

Shivaay: vese mujhe aur Anika ko nahi pata hoga, agar bache ke baad kaafi changes hote. Hum to 3-4 hafte se milne ke baad shaadi kardiya, aur it wasn't ling before Anika pregnant hui

Om: toh aap time spend katre New York mein?

Shivaay: itna nahi, mein thora kaam karta ghar mein, Malika ke saath itna vact rehker voh rent nahi accept kari thi

Om: meine bohot suna ki pregnancy ke vact mein aurat depression mein jaa sakti

Shivaay: haa, lekin tu fikhar maat kar, hum sab log hai naa

Om: chall Rudra, tu gym kaam jaana

Rudra: mein tiyaar hoon, ese sacrifices banane ke liye

Om and Shivaay's jaws drop. Their baby brother who was the number one flirt was now ready to make sacrifices for one woman only

Om: tu toh sach mein bada ho gaya

Shivaay: mujhe laga ki yeh mazak kara tha

Om: vese bada wala Rudra, not bad

Shivaay: haa

Rudra: mein bada hua? Muscles mein of course hoga. Vese Bhaabi aur mein bohot workouts karte, results bohot ache dikte. O aapko bhi karna chahiye

Shivaay: aab Bhavya ke saath bhi workout karo, aur Gauri ko bhi leker. Varna baad mein ladkiye complain karenge ki 'moti hogayi, kya karu'

They chuckle

Om: mujhe lagta hai ki hume sone chahiye

Shivaay: haa, kaafi dhee ho chuki

Rudra: vese ladies kaha hai?

Shivaay: saare humare kamre mein hein

Om: challo phir, dekhte kya baate kare hai

They go to the room to see the cute small baby in between the other two sleeping ladies. Anika was simply admiring them when she sensed someone at the door

Om: arrey.....

Anika: sssshhhhhhhhhh, so gaye voh teeno

She whispers and gets up from the bed

Om: mein Gauri ko leker chalta

Anika: nahi, rehne de. Disturb maat karo, vese Chutki Bhavya ko chodi nahi hai

They notice the tiny hand around her neck as she snuggles more with her Chaachi

Rudra: oh okay

Shivaay: Anika aao, hum aaj raat guest room mein sote

Anika: challo, good night

Om: good night Shivaay, Bhaabi

Shivaay: kal dekhte

They all fo off to rest, and the next day, Bhavya brings Chutki in her arms to the breakfast table

Shivaay: good morning

Rudra: ache se so gayi?

Bhavya: haa, neend achi tha

Om: breakfast karke kapre badal ker aana, yaad hai Shivaay ka business associate aara hai

Shivaay: dost bhi hai, itna formalities nahi

Gauri: theek hai

Anika: khanna khaako

After eating, they go and get ready for the guest. Around lunchtime, Anika is strolling in the main hall when she hears a familiar voice, one she had nearly forgotten

Voice: vahi chaal, vahi chehra, vahi figure

But how could she? The voice she hoped never to hear again. Anika turned around to confirm her doubts and the person she had in mind matched the person at the door

Anika:

Daksh: Anika Kapoor, oops, Anika Shivaay Singh Oberoi

Anika: tum yaha kya kare ho

Daksh: you see

He rubs his hands together vigorously and then looks up at her again after taking a few steps towards her

Daksh: kuch kaam tha, some unfinished work

Anika: isse pehle mein tujhe humesha ke liye chup karti, bina tamasha banake get the hell out of my house!

She angrily tells him, trying not to raise her own voice

Shivaay: Daksh, tu aagya?

Dakshi: Shivaay, my friend

Shivaay comes up to him and gives a handshake, followed by a friendly hug.

Shivaay: kese chalra?

Daksh: aab toh bilkul sahi

He says whilst eyeing Anika. She is in utter shock. First of all he is a friend of Shivaay's that too a good childhood one. Secondly, he had the guts to arrange a deal with him. Anika actually still couldn't believe her eyes, he was supposed to be gone for good.

Shivaay: seems toh you've already met my wife, Anika

Daksh: haa, mein jaanta isse

Shivaay: really?

Daksh: puraana rishta hai humara

He again glances at her and Shivaay gives a confused look to Anika

Anika: voh....academy mein

She covers up before Daksh could say another word. Soon everyone else comes and greets him

Rudra: Daksh Bhaaiya

They also greet each other, and Om mutters to himself

Om: Daksh Khuranna, naam jaani pechani lag raha hai

He gets a possible idea, highly unlikely, he thinks. Just to confirm his doubts as being wrong, he looks over to Anika. By the mere sight of panic on her face that she is trying her level best to hide, Om could still make out he was unfortunately right. This was the same Daksh Khuranna who troubled Anika, nearly raped her once. He couldn't control his anger and began walking towards him, but Anika came in front of him quickly

Om: Bhaabi please hatiye

Anika: nahi Om

Om: Bhaabi......

Anika: Om please, mere liye

Somehow he controls listening to Anika, but he's still restless. At that moment, another idea pops in her head. She looks to the side and sees Khannah storming in Daksh's direction, anger raging in him that could be detected from far away. Anika quickly calls out to him and stops him from going any further.

Anika: Om, please aao, mujhe kuch baat karna hai. Kannah tu bhi aao

Om made his way there to their room, but Anika had to practically drag Khannah, as he was ready to pounce at the moment he was released. Daksh smirked at this, and continued to meet everyone in the family. Anika pushed the two inside her room and quickly slammed the door shut. Her hands reached up to lock the door before she turned around

Anika: Khannah Bhaaiya, yeh kya badtameeze hai? Ese behave karte, Shivaay ke business associate......

Khannah: bhad mein gaya behaviour. Kohi bhi ho lekin yeh aadmi nahi

Om: aap bhool gayi usne kya kiya?

Khannah: tere peeche pagal ke tarah ghoomta, aur tujhe apna banane ke liye voh kisi bhi had tak jaa sakta tha, tujhe yeh ache se pata hai.

Om: wait, aapne Shivaay ko nahi bataya Daksh ke baare mein

Anika: Mujhe kaga ki it was a closed chapter mere zindagi mein

Om: toh aab batao

Anika: pagal ho gaye kya? Crores ka deal hai, business ka faiyda hoga aur upar se Shivaay ka dost.....

Khannah: toh kya? Yeh phir bhi voh ganda, kamina insaan tha, hai, aur humesha rahega

Om: abhi jaake usse bataounga

He goes to the door

Anika: Om no

She holds him back and he refrains from the handle

Anika: aur aap Khannah Bhaaiya. Mein khud bataoungi Shivaay ko. Aapko nahi lagta ki mein pareshaan nahi hoon? Meri bachi ke saath yeh kuch bhi kar sakta. Om tu extra dhyaan rakh Gauri ka. Pata nahi kya game plan hai uska. Aur Bhagya ko bhi bol, aware rakho. Dono pregnant hai, kohi stress nahi lena hoga. Aur agar Daksh ko pata chalta ki Gauri meri Chutki hai toh shayad mujhse badla lene mein kahi naa voh gauri ko....

She stops herself from saying anything further like that

Anika: tumhe meri kasam

Khannah: Anika Di please

Anika: Khannah Bhaaiya mein apne haat jodti

She joins her hands together and he takes her in a protective hug

Khannah: iss baar voh kuch nahi karega meri behn ko

Om also keeps a hand on Anika's head

Anika: aab baar jao, Gauri ke saath raho. Khannah Bhaaiya aap please extra cctv cameras lagao. Kohi risk nahi le sakte hum

Khannah: haa challo

They hear Chutki's loud wails

Anika: Chutki!

They rush back to the hall

Moments earlier, in the main hall

Dadi: kese hai tu beta

Dakshi: theek Dadi

Rudra: yeh meri biwi Bhavya

Bhavya: hello

Daksh: hi, it's a pleasure to meet you all

Gauri: Hi, mein Om ki patni aur Anika ki behn

Dakshi: Anika ki behn? Oh My God, Chutki right!

Gauri: haa

Shivaay: ek aur Chutki hai

Shivaay calls out for his daughter, who comes running up to him

Shivaay: yeh hai meri aur Anika ki beti, Chanda Singh Oberoi. Pyaar se hum usse Chutki bulate

Daksh: hello beautiful

He takes the child in his arms.

Daksh: (in mind) toh yeh hai Chanda, Chutki. Aab tu dekh Anika. Jese mein tere liye taras rha rha, vese hi tum apni beti ke liye tarsengi

After a while, the baby starts to cry loudly. Following this, Anika rushes over and seeing her baby girl in Daksh's hold, she becomes angry as well as slightly nervous on what he might do. She runs to him and technically snatches the baby from his arms

Anika: voh, iska sone ka time ho gaya, mein usse leker jaati

She begins to pace for her room hut stops and turns when she hear Shivaay's voice

Shivaay: food?

Anika: baad mein

And she runs off before anyone else can question her. Shivaay finds this weird and strange. Chutki only sleep after her lunch, not now and Anika well and truly knows this. How come she ran off. He shrugs the thoughts off thinking it's nothing. Meanwhile while in his room, Anika was calming the baby. She wasn't quite sure why she was crying, maybe a new stranger was the reason. She sat on the bed and rocked her

Anika: no baby, ese nahi rote. Shaant ho ja

She decides to nurse her, and after some time the baby falls asleep. She keeps her on the bed and strokes her hairs

Anika: I promise, mein tumhe kuch nahi hone dunga

Shivaay after knocking on the door enters the room with a plate of food. He goes to Anika and sits beside her. His hand wipes the tears streaming down her cheeks

Shivaay: tum roh kyu rahi?

He asks. Anika didn't notice when the tears even formed in her eyes

Anika: Chutki ko dekher, aansu khud nikal gaye

Shivaay: jhoot maat bol, tu bohot ajeeb act kari hai. Aur pehle, achanak se Khannah aur Om de baat, what's going on?

Anika: nothing, mein bas thora tension mein hoon

Shivaay: kyu?

Anika: kuch choti moti baat hai

Shivaay: batao

Anika: nahi aap mujhe pehle khilao

Shivaay: okay

He feeds her with his hands and she also gives him one or two bites. Just when he finishes, They hear Daksh's voice calling Shivaay

Anika: aap jao jaldi

Shivaay: okay

He reluctantly goes and attends the needs of the guest

Anika: Shukar ki Daksh ne kuch toh acha kiya, varna pata nahi kya bolti mein Shivaay ko. Mujhe extra precautions lena padega aab se

She says to herself
