Annika was in the ocean of happiness and the words of Tej were like music to her ears, they had called her family, every time this thought crossed her brain a beautiful smile formed on her face.

Rich people were not so bad after all, she realized how foolishly she had judged them before. Now everything was prefect, she had a well paid job, an amazing brother , a bunch of wonderful people whom she could call her family and then there was him.

Every time she thought about him, it wasn't hate that came across her mind now, it was something else, something very complex and that something was completely new and different for her to understand. Those eyes which haunted her then, now made her find peace in them.

She turned and rolled over the bed trying to shrug off the weird thoughts, but that was of no help. Her brain now drifted to his hair, a chuckle escaped her lips as she thought about his fuzziness regarding them. Everything was just perfect in him, a handsome face, best dressing sense, fit body, family man all he lacked was he had never thought about her as she did now .. and also height.

"Urgh Annika. Go to sleep." she whisper shouted, rolling again to Sahil's side, she looked at him, her bundle of joy. She ran her hand slowly through his hair silently promising that she would always do the best for him.

She closed her eyes, yet again the smug face of the blue eyed man came across but she didn't want to shrug it off she just accepted it with a smile.

"Annika di do you really have to go to work today. It is a Sunday." Sahil asked his sister who was running around looking through the requirements for Sahil. "Don't you know Billu ji ,Sahil. Would you think he will let me off" Annika replied. Sahil just sighed, he knew how hard his sister worked so that he could have a better future, but he missed her, he missed how they used to spend time before.

His eyes fell on his sister's phone, he picked it up, he knew the Baggad Billa would deny his sister but would he also deny a small kid's wish. He clicked on the contact entitled, 'Mr.SOberoi'.

It hadn't been two rings and the call was accepted, "Hello, Annika" A hoarse voice answered, "Hello Bi- I mean Mr. Oberoi." Sahil replied. "Hello Sahil." Shivaay corrected himself.

"I know that you are very busy, but I had a small request. Can Annika didi please have a holiday today?" Sahil asked with a trembling voice, it wasn't because he was scared of this certain blue eyed man but he needed this more for himself.

There was a long pause of silence, Annika rushed into the hall picking up her bag, she said "Sahil I have prepared aloo puri, eat it right at time, study well and don't spend to much time on phone."

Sahil looked at her and then at her phone, certainly Shivaay would have heard that and would now not bother to give her the day off as she was all set for work.

"Mr. Oberoi please." Sahil requested. Annika's eyes went wide open listening to him, she snatched the phone, "What are doing Sahil?" she shouted softly.

"You can have a leave Annika, spend some time with your brother." The voice came from the phone and Sahil's face bloomed with happiness.

"Thank you so much SSO" He shouted in delight. The call got disconnected and Sahil could say how happy his sister was with his tiny decision.

"So what do you want to do little monster." Annika said as she sat with a thud of the sofa next to him.

He recited an unending list and the duo smiled at each other trying to suppress their excitement.

Shivaay made his way towards the main door trying to escape off his brothers but no one has ever escaped from the eyes of Rudra.

"Bhaiya, you said you won't go to work today." Rudra whined. "Common man it is a Sunday." Om continued.

"Yeah I did say that, but an urgent meeting came up." Shivaay lied. He couldn't understand why did he want to stay back in the first place.

"Okay fine but come soon alright. "Rudra ordered with his dorky features and Shivaay just smiled back at him nodding his head in affirmative.

Heading out he made his way towards his car, going to office wasn't the plan for today, he didn't know why, he worshiped his work yet something had been disturbing him, things had started becoming complex for a straight forward person like him.

Sighing hard he speeded up the car towards the Oberoi industries.

Mumbai traffic was world famous and one of the things that did not manage to strike his temper. It was his thinking hub from the time when a certain girl has entered his life.

He remembered the soft voice for her brother earlier, he couldn't refuse the little kid, all he wanted was to spend some time with his sister and he could let that happen. He thought he wasn't being reasonable to himself, this was the first time he cared about someone else apart from his family and it was irking him. 

His sister could have asked him, did she think he was so stone hearted, a chuckle escaped when he remembered her calling him Stone Singh Oberoi, she surely did think that. His thoughts made a way towards her features, her face that was always so vibrant, her honey brown orbs which held on all her emotions, her beautiful lips, she was a pretty woman.

Shivaay glanced outside, trying to distract himself from the unnecessary imagination and thoughts. He was stuck up in a crowded market, he looked  around to find small dingy shops, not his favorite place to be at.

Soon his eyes fell on a  figure whose back facing him, but he could recognize her with his eyes closed. He always had.

She was dressed up as usual in her simple attire and held many shopping bags, she slightly titled her head and now he could look at her half face, she managed to look beautiful at every moment. A small smile made its way on his face.

He looked behind her to find her brother sitting on a chair and munching two ice creams while Annika started at him in awe. He was close enough to gaze at her lips and judge that her ice cream was long eaten. Always messy. He chuckled.

The traffic cleared and he smiled with satisfaction and drove away.

Annika rushed into Oberoi Mansion, she was late for the tenth time this month, nobody actually cared about it but if the Baggad Billa was in a bad mood she would be surely dead.

Looking at the empty breakfast table she was sure something was not right for the day. She made her way towards the other side of her mansion to find the complete family standing there gawking at a situation.

She moved closer and halted soon enough, she held onto the pillar for the support as she looked at him holding a ring in his hand and there stood Tia with a excited face!
