"shivaay for the god sake you are the Bussinessman of the year. Where the hell is your confidence" anika crossed hands glaring her boyfriend who is currently making excuses to not meet her father.

"but listen ----"

"no but, just drive in directions I say" taking deep breath shivaay followed her instructions parallelly preparing mind to face his father-in-law.

"Shouldn't we get gifts for them? I mean this is my first visit so---"

" There is no need for being formal. Chill. Take deep breaths and drive" shivaay silently drove to raizada mansion.

"God! Ani, poor shivaay. He is so nervous. Go to him" avanthi pushed her daughter outside kitchen, who was till now peeping into hall where both Bussinessmen. Vikram singh raizada and shivaay singh oberoi were seated.

One was glaring, the other looking nervous. "uncle that day I was rude. Sorry for that"

"That's okay. Anika already explained that issue. Now that main point is how dare you love my daughter" the relief shivaay got for me vikram first sentence didn't last long with his least sentence.

"Papa is seriously acting like typical father from daily soap" anika slapped her forehead before moving to hall. She internally chuckled at the stiff position of shivaay. A sigh left shivaay as he saw anika entering the area, she is the only thing he need now.

Anika leaned on his chest side ward, as a reflex his body relaxed, unconsciously his hand reached around her shoulder to hold her in place, fingers pushing her bra strap properly under tee. His attentiveness towards anika didn't go unnoticed by Mr. Raizada

"papa, he is the one" anika said with smile, placing her left hand on shivaay thigh. Mrs. Raizada, avanthi smiled at the young couple before her "look how good they are looking with each other. Stop your drama vikram" she warned her husband, as expected he ignored her words.

"how could you be so sure ani that he is the one?"

"because papa, you just didn't teach me how a lady should be but also the way she need to be treated" vikram nodded his head, "he treat me right" shivaay lips curved up with the compliment.

Anika passed a smile to shivaay, he pecked her forehead in return earning a clap from avanthi and throat clearing from vikram. "awww " avanthi exclaimed with twinkling eyes, vikram glared his wife warning her not to go fan girling on their daughter Jodi.

"Say me a reason to accept you" vikram seriously turned to shivaay. Before shivaay could answer avanthi turned to her husband back questioning "say me a reason to reject him?"

"Look at him, very successful Bussinessmen at very young age, topper in Cambridge University, grown with manners, is stuck to Bussiness instead passing any political statements in Bussiness world, handsome. Now, I can happily show him as my son-in-law" vikram sighed at his wife, "remember ani how radha aunty taunted you as you couldn't get a boyfriend for yourself like her daughter. What does he do? Ha, MD of some reputed company but my son-in-law is CEO of oberoi industries"avanthi dramatically explained her problems in her friends circle.

Shivaay gave an awkward smile, anika noticed this and whispered "chill, Ma is not going to take you to her kitty parties. But she will definitely flaunt our couple pic there" vikram glared avanthi for misguiding the actual issue. She bit her tongue added "most importantly he love our daughter. What more you need vikram?"
