Shivika were in the back seat of the car along with Khanna who occupied the passenger seat.
"Shiv where did the baby went?. She was not with us in the morning".
"With her father. She tried a lot to wake you up, it is easy to climb the mountain to break your sleep."
His statement made her huffing in anger to which he checked his puffy cheeks adding more annoyance to her behaviour in response she turns her face towards the window.
Shiv smile at her tactic. He took out a king-size chocolate bar from his coat's pocket rubbed its outer plastic cover to make a sound which gains Anika's attention but she controlled herself to turn around to grab her sweet. Shivaay was calmly noticing her moves and was smiling shaking his head.
"I think Anu is not interested in chocolate. Khanna let's share this chocolate as for whom I have brought is not even seeing me". With a sad voice, he said pretending to rip open the wrapper.
'It's mine". Stanching the bar she said holding it as her dear life.
"You were angry with me naa". He tried to be innocent.
'Aarree how could I be mad at my shiv. I was just kidding". Trying to rip open the cover of the bar with a sweet smile she buttered him.
"Really..". With rise brows, he asked as not believing her excuse.
"Sachi". Holding her Thorat she said looking like a kid who pranked and now doesn't want to get punished.
Shivaay laughed whole heartily giving a shock to the driver who heard a lot out about his new boss's short temper and rude behaviour but here he is tolerating a girl's silly tantrums.
Till then they reached the college. Shivaay adjusted her hair and hand over her backpack to Khanna.
"Princess dad will be here at your college around leaving time but if he gets late don't leave the gate and if anyone tries to misbehave with you give me a call at the moment. Don't stain yourself and most importantly you will not eat the whole bar today itself". He lectured her as a father who is leaving his daughter for the first time in the school.
"Shiv don't you get bored every day repeating the same lines again and again."
"Exactly!!! Now I am fed up listing the same thing again and again". Making faces Khanna added his thoughts.
"You are fried". Shivaya said his famous dialogue.
"Thank god I am free now. Let's go Ani I can finally do anything without a care and don't have to follow orders". Happiness overwhelmed from his words.
Shivaay sat there with open mouths while Anika was laughing holding her stomach whereas the driver was like how can someone make fun of Shivaay Singh Oberoi who is ready to destroy your career.
"Don't you dare to even think to take her anywhere I will kill you" gritting teeth he said with the serious face which Khanna measured it?
"Yes, boss". He saluted him and hopped out of the car.
Shivaay steps down from the car then helped Anika to hop off as well.
"Take care". He kissed her bye on the forehead.
"You too". Kissing his checks she said.
Khanna with one hand holds her backpack while putting the other on her shoulder and both walked as buddies inside the college. Shivaay stood there till they vanish into the crowd after that he also left for his office this time sat with a stern face which gives a breath back to the driver who was in dilemma but now seeing him described by people he sighs in relief.

Kalyani Singh Oberoi suggested Ragini work under Shivaay with any available post.
"Why should I work when I am going to be Mrs Oberoi". Twisting her face Ragini spoke.
"To trap him" answered Priyanka in an annoying tone seeing her friend's dumbness.
"We have to win his trust to make him our puppet". Jhanvi said.
"Exactly!! Find his weak point to attack". Dadi suggested.
"Do you think he has one?" This time Gauri butted in.
"That girl named Anika". Priyanka said.
"I don't think so it is just might be a favourite of the month". Omkara said.
"As far as I searched about him he never brings such girls till his house". Dadi pointed out.
Silence covered the room for several minutes. Each and everyone's brain was weaving one or the other theory.
"Why Shivaay will give her a job?". Omkara questioned.
"I heard he has a vacancy in the accounting department". Jhanvi shared the information.
"He will go with the proper procedure only. He never appoints anyone based on recommendation." Gauri said.
"I am eligible to get that post do you think that I am uneducated". Ragini snapped on her not Liking Gauri's statement.
" We all know how good you are at balancing money'. Somaiya taunted.
'As if we don't know how you are managing your husband'. Came a hot reply by Ragini.
"Show me how to do it because as far as I have seen you had tried to manipulate Shivaay who has multiple times rejected you". Gauri showed her a mirror.
"Of course we should learn from you cause with a cheap trick you succeed to be Oberoi's daughter in law," Priyanka replied on behalf of Ragini who was smirking seeing the pale face of Gauri.
"Stop". Dadi yelled. "We have to be one to gain power fight among us will need to destruction". Future she added.
"Dadi is saying right. We should concentrate on how to make a place for Ragini in Shivaay's office rather than forcing on each other's negative side". Omkara said to which all nodded in agreement.
"I will get information about the interview". Said Jhanvi.
"I will ask dad to go through his contacts to get a safe place on interview day". Omkara said.
"I think I should go and start preparing for it as we don't know who will be the interviewer".
"I will help you". Priyanka said.
All left to do their tasks leaving behind dadi in her thoughts.
"I will not leave any stone unturned to destroy you Shivaay. Because of you, I lost a piece of my heart so now I will break your heart into million pieces."
