Ayaan jumped out of Shivani's lap and ran to hug the girl on the door.

"Masiiiiiii😍", he exclaimed while hugging her legs.

Antara chuckled and bend down to his height hugging him properly.

Everyone got up and came towards them with a smile while Shivani was still confused.

"How are you Champ😊!!", Antara tickled him and he grinned in response.

She got up and touched Amar and Shweta's feet.

Next she hugged Ruchi,

"How are you di...😄"

"I am perfectly fine!!! What about you...!?", Ruchi hugged her back.

"Arre hum se bhi puch lo..", Sameer taunted.

"Jijuuuu!! Aapko kaise bhulega koi..😁", she grinned and hugged him.

Shivani looked at Abhimanyu with a questioning look and before he could answer they were interrupted.

"Heyyy Abhiiii... Long time😃", she smiled at him and side-hugged him. Abhimanyu passed a small smile to her nodding his head.

Antara looked at Shivani and spoke up,

"Umm.. Shivani right!?"

Shivani nodded her head with a nervous smile.

"Hiii..Myself Antara Bhatia. Ruchi di ki one and only sister..😊", Antara forwarded her hand to her.

Shivani took the hand gladly with a smile,

"Hi Antara!! Nice to meet you..☺️"

"Antara suddenly you here!?", Sameer asked.

"I was missing Di so I came... I hope all don't mind by my sudden arrival😐", Antara said.

"Not at all beta... Infact we are very happy. Now you have to stay for some days", Shweta smiled.

"Offcourse aunty..😁", Antara grinned.

"You get freshen up and unpack your stuff... Tab tak we will ready dinner..", Ruchi stated and everyone left to do their respective work.

After having a peaceful and delicious dinner all were settled in the living room.

Something inside Shivani was burning like fire......🤭

Not that she hates anyone but all of sudden Ayaan's centre of attraction was His Masi.

Ayaan has always been close to her and she treated him like her own child, but it seems like he forgot His Chachi...

And to her surprise Antara involved Abhimanyu in her talks too.....

Inshort the two boys which were her closest behaved like she was not in the room.

Though Antara is a nice girl with bubbly nature but Shivani is hell possessive about her belongings and people🙃.

She was upset and somewhere triggered by the fact that no one is paying heed to her.

"You are a lucky man Abhi... Got such a beautiful wife not bad!!! I hope she is able to handle you🤭", Antara complimented and giggled.

"Yeah very well handlingggg..😏", Shweta smirked making Abhimanyu blush a little.

"Offcourse I can see the change very well.. The man who was always engrossed in files and work spending time with family....Frown replaced with a killer smile😝!!

And karela shahad uglega toh achambhe ki baat toh hai..😌", Antara mocked while placing her hand on Abhi's shoulder.

Shivani faked a smile to her and pretended to read something in magazine.

"I am a little late... Warna I would have married him😗!!", Antara complaint and Shivani looked at her with shocked filled expression.

Abhimanyu rolled his eyes in disagreement and spoke up,

"Ohh come on!! I would have never given you that chance..🙄"

"Yeah yeah I know!!! You don't spare a glance to me before and atleast now you are talking to me!! Not bad....😉", Antara winked at him.

Shivani crushed the magazine's page in a fist when all giggled at her statement.

"Umm I have some work...!", Shivani excused herself and left to her room.

Now when she has already left Abhimanyu was in no mood to sit there anymore. Getting a good chance to escape he too left from there. Smiling he ascended the stairs and reached his room.

But he was surprised when he saw the lights were off and Shivani was sleeping peacefully on the bed.

"Isse toh kaam tha and here she is sleeping!!! Shayad thak gayi hogi jyada...😊", Abhimanyu smiled to himself caressing her hair. Mailing some files he too dozed off.

*

Next morning after breakfast,

"Mumma we are going!!', Shivani exclaimed.

"Hey guys.. where are you going😗!?", Antara came there.

Shivani faked smiled and said,

"Shopping.."

"Whatttttt🤩!!! Oh my god... Can I join you guys", she pleaded.

Abhimanyu was about to deny her Shivani nodded her head,

"Offcourse Antara☺️!!"

Abhimanyu gave an annoyed expression to Shivani who didn't noticed it.

They went for shopping along with Jai and Tanu who were waiting for them.

Whole day passed in shopping and they were tired...

Abhimanyu didn't get much time to spend with Shivani, mostly he was talking to Jai or when he wanted to start a conversation with Shivani somehow he kept getting interrupted by Antara.

Shivani was eyeing him all the time and was huffing in anger at his ignorance.

She hated being ignored by her closed ones and him talking to Antara made her sad more.

Next day was the Engagement day....

Abhimanyu and Shivani decided to left early to manage the arrangements...

Off offcourse it was their their bffs' engagement🥰!!! How could they miss any moment of it...💖

Thankfully this time Antara was not going with them and will be joining their family who will leave a little late.

But to their dismay Shivani had an important call to attend during their journey to the venue.

Reaching their once again they got busy in management. Shivani had to make Tanu ready too...... And Jai would have fainted on the spot watching his beauty decked up so gracefully♥️😍♥️

By god's grace everything went great and it was blast engagement.....🎊

Tanu's engagement ring

Jai's engagement ring

Shivani was beaming with happiness as she had waited for this moment for years that's why she got a little bit emotional too when they were exchanging the rings.....💞

The function continued with a dance performances💃🏻

Abhimanyu was just staring Shivani as she was looking like an angel decended from heaven💓.

He sighed and kept his hand on his racing heart.....❤️

He muttered a 'Ufffff' when she smiled making him weak on his knees.

He staring session was interrupted by Antara.

"One dance please😙!!!", she pouted and dragged him on the floor before he could answer.

He wanted to dance but not with her.....

Offcourse with his wife who was probably shooting bullets from her eyes.....

She was gritting her teeth so bad that even a pencil could get sharped with such jagged teeth🌚🤭.

Ignoring him she continued to talk to others while Abhimanyu was dieing for her to glance at him even once.

Soon it was evening and all came back home.....

Changing into comfy clothes they decided to have light snacks and tea.

Shivani was showing Ayaan the pics of engagement and here Abhimanyu was stuck with Antara.

Shivani yawned and said she is tired and full so she will not have dinner and going to her room.

It's been one hour she left to the room and Abhimanyu was feeling restless...

"Maa I am going too!!! Bahut thak gaya...🥱", Abhimanyu faked yawn and ran to his room.

As soon as he entered the room and closed the door something hit his head...

Baffled he turned and saw Shivani sitting on bed in anger gone all red like an apple...😝

She was crushing a smiley sponge ball in one hand and the other one was holding one more ball.

He passed her a look and she threw the ball on his face.

Unaware of her sudden anger he got scared seeing a basket full of balls lying beside her..

"Aaiye aaiye patidev☺️!!!", Shivani smiled at him extra sweetly.

"Haan haan aa gaya ye sab kya hai par🤨!!!", Abhimanyu asked while coming towards her.

She threw one more ball at him and he catched him backing off.

"Aapke swagat ki tayari ke liye hai...🙂", Shivani gritted her teeth while fake smiling.

Abhimanyu scrunched his eyebrows getting another ball on his nose.

"Aaaaoouu😕!!!!", He voiced.

"Shivi kya kar rahi ho!?", he complaint.

"Mai....(throw)....kya...(throw)...kar(throw)....rahi (throw)....hun😠", she continuously three balls on him while he made a shield of his hands to protect himself.

"Arre....meri baat toh suno😕!!", Abhimanyu uttered.

"Main kyu sunu!!? Tumhe Sunni chahiye meri baat...🙄", She rolled her eyes.

"Haan acha sorry bolo!!! Par pehle maarna baand karo...", He pleaded while taking a seat on bed in front of her.

"Tumne mujhe ignore Kiya😶!!!", Shivani said in a low voice.

Abhimanyu got surprised at the sudden statement.

"Kab🤨!?", Abhimanyu asked.

"Achaaa jiii kabbb🙄!?", she said in a sarcastic tone.

"Arre sach mai nahi pata!!!", he spoke up.

"Pichle 2 dino se busy jo ho apni best friend ke saath....🙂", Sarcasm dripped off her words.

"Baat toh chhodo meri taraf dekha bhi nahi. Aur engagement mai uske saath hi dance Kiya mujhse bhi toh puch sakte the na...😕", Shivani hung her head down.

Abhimanyu smiled and held her by shoulders,

"I am sorry Shivi!! Maine jaan-bujhke nahi kiya... infact I was dieing to spend time with you but due to one reason and other nahi ho paaya...."

Shivani looked up at him and a tiny droplet fall off her eyes.

Abhimanyu immediately hugged her and asked,

"Isme rone ki kya baat hai!!"

"Mujhe laga tum mujhe bhul gaye🥺!!!", She sniffled wrapping her arms around his huge body.

"Nahi baby aise kaise..... Acha I am sorry!! Tum ro mat", he comforted her.

"Theek hai iss baar maaf Kiya par agli baar aisa kiya na toh dekh lena Saduuuu....🥺🙄", Shivani made a crying face and started hitting him with her tiny hands.

Abhimanyu though was unaffected by her attack but was trying to defend himself.

He held her wrists and pinned her to the bed hovering over her.

Shivani's eyes came out of the sockets at the sudden change of actions😳. She tried to take off her hands from his grip but couldn't succeed.

She kept looking him while blinking her eyes and gulped audibly at the intensity of passion his eyes held🔥.

Abhimanyu left her one wrist and wiped a tear at the corner of her eyes.

"Why are so angry Biwi😚!!!", He smiled at her.

"Are you jealous of Antara...😏", he smirked settling her baby strands.

Shivani's eyes can anytime hang out as she kept widening them.

"Nn....no ....I am....no...not j...jeal.... jealous😶", she muttered with a great difficulty.

"Ohh is that!!! Stop lying Shiviiiii...", He whispered huskily near her ears.

"Iamnotlying", she said in a single breathe making him chuckle.

"Okay okay agreed!!! Relax your irregular heartbeats Sweetheart...😘", He kissed her cheek and got up from her.

Shivani's heart pounded much faster against her chest and her cheeks reddened at the recent encounter.

She got up fidgeting her fingers and ran to bathroom to avoid any further embarrassment leaving a grinning Abhimanyu behind.
