It was evening, Oberois were ready to bid bye deciding to meet soon to discuss about the engagement and other ceremonies. Just then, Shivaay asked the permission from Annika's parents to take her for the rings selection promising to drop her early.

"Oh! It's totally good with us Shivaay. Annika is going to be your wife, you can of course take her", Rajveer, Annika father said making him smile.

"Thank you papa! I will drop Annika soon at night", Shivaay said to which he nodded smiling.

"Annika, if you change we'll leave now", he said turning towards annika who nodded and went inside with Khushi after bidding bye to Oberois.

"So how do it feels newly roka-ed Ms. Annika Nanda", Khushi teased making Annika giggle on her formation of word.

"Bhabhi! Roka-ed? And I feel really happy, little nervous though", Annika said.

"Nervous?", Khushi confused.

"Haan I mean, I'm gonna have a new family, new responsibilities, my name will be joined with other family, infact one of richest and respected family of India. Will I be able to handle everything, just worried for that", Annika said.

"Don't worry Anu. Even I felt this when I got married but when your partner is supportive, it goes well and I can say from now Shivaay is a supporting partner", Khushi said making Annika smile lightly.

"That's true bhabhi! He's just the way I wanted my partner", smiling Annika said. Khushi saw her dreamy look and nudged her.

"Come out of your dreams Anu! Your dream man is waiting for you downstairs", Khushi teased making her eyes widen.

"Aree haan bhabhi, Shivaay is waiting. I change and come", taking a dress from her wardrobe, she rushed inside washroom making Khushi chuckle and leave.

After 20 minutes, Annika came down wearing a blue palazzo and kurta, just in her basic make up. Coming down, she saw a very beautiful moment.

Shivaay was sitting with her family laughing and talking happily like a family. She smiled seeing this and walked to them. Shivaay saw her coming and smiled getting up.

"Shall we go Annika?", he asked who just hummed looking at him. Bidding bye to her family they walked out when he saw her still looking at him.

"I know I'm handsome Annika but that doesn't mean you'll stare at me", he teased as they got into the car.

She chuckled and looked ahead smiling. He smiled igniting the car.

"Why can't I? I've rights to stare at you", she said back taking him in surprised but he gave an impressed look.

"That's true! Now can I know what suddenly Ms. Nanda found on my face", he asked looking at her.

"Nothing just feeling happy to have man who treats my family as his own", she said smiling looking at her.

"Of course they're my family now, like you are my family now", he said holding her hand on his lap. She smiled holding his hand back.

"So where are you going for rings?", she asked looking out then at him.

"There's a friend of mine, he has this showroom for engagement rings, he personally asked me give a look there, maybe we like something", he said to which she hummed.

"I'm sure we'll like something", she said excitedly.

"Not so easy milady! I want the best ring for you", he said making her smile and holds his hand tightly.
