Anika was seating on a bench near the gate eating a chocolate bar given by her Shiv while Khanna was doing something on his phone. Till noon chocolate melted and as she was eating like a kid her lips, cheeks and hands are covered in it but do she cared?
Shakti came by 1:40 to pick her up.
"Darling...". He waved her from the outside side of the gate.
Anika made a run to hug him as in the morning she didn't get a chance to do so. But in this process, she rubs off the chocolate on his white shirt making it brown in some areas.
"How was your day darling". He asked coming out of a hug not caring about his messed up shirt.
"It was good but that miss Balani gave a lot of work to do and even shouted on me". She complained with a sad pout.
"How dare she shouted on my darling." Angrily he spoke.
'First, ask what she did to make her mad at her". Khanna interpreted.
"What I did I just asked her that's she is the one I saw yesterday kissing in the rest room'". Innocently she said.
Shakti laughs loudly.
"You are laughing at me". Offended she asked.
'No...Jaani it's just you can't ask something like this to your teacher". He softly explained.
"But why? I was just confirming that it was her because one girl denied believing me. "
"She might feel insulted or embarrassing".
"I will apologise to her tomorrow'. Understandingly she said.
"Let's go you must be hungry".
"Seriously after eating this big bar do you think she has an appetite for actual food". Taunted Khanna.
'We are not taking Khanna Bhaya with us". Declared Anika before sitting into Shakti's car not eyeing poor Khanna who stood there with Cry baby face to be left out.
"Sorry, Mr Khanna we can't let you come with us as you offended my jaani.' In a professional tone, Shakti said hiding a smile under his lips.
Khanna left from there while Anika and Shakti had their lunch at Pizza Hut.
"Can we go shopping"? She asked batting her nails.
"Why not I have cleared my schedule for rest of the day."
They went to the mall when Anika move towards the kid's section Shakti followed her thinking she might want to buy soft toys as she loves teddy bears.
Anika started to pick teddy's, she got two of four feet one of six feet and four of three feet after that picked a few cartoon character's plushes of different centimetres. Shakti was following her with a shop worker caring for all her purchases. Satisfied with soft toys she moved to the barbie section which confused her father in law but chose to keep quiet thinking she might develop a liking towards it.
She selects different dolls including a few males also got a big tent house along with two barbie houses one of Frozen having a swimming pool and elevator while the other has a whole kitchen set up. Her feet move towards sport racks where she picks a few outdoor games like football, badminton, cricket kit etc..etc...
Choosing colouring books and toddler reading books went to the clothes department. Now it was hard for Shakti to be patient so he asked.
"Jaani are you planning to wear kids clothes. Or wait a minute am I going to be grandpa". Almost jumping on his place her asked.
"You should have informed me when we came here only I know you just want to share the news with Shivaay first but you could have hinted me right anyway now as I know let us go home you have stained yourself enough". Further, he added without taking a break while Anika stood there with an open mouth.
"Take a breath darling I am not pregnant". She cleared the misunderstanding making him sad.
"Then why are you buying all this". Becoming upset he asked.
"For Kesha and Ryan".
"Ohhhkkk". Shaking his head he moves with her to get clothed.
Both select a lot of clothes in a variety of styles.

Shivaay order Mishra to look after the interview of an Accountant as he is planning to spend time with his lady love due to his busy schedule he wasn't able to give her time so now as things are settled here spending some quality without any interpretation with his lady love will give inseam peace.
"Don't be in hurry to select take your time. Choose the best". Shivaay instructed his PA.
"Don't worry SSO I know how to get the right person for the post". Confidently Mishra said.
"Hmmm...."
After that Mishra left from there.
Shivaay calls him after to know Anika's whereabouts as she had lost her phone or someone stole it, it's not too clear for now will get with time.
"Where is my wife?" He asked as soon as Shakti received the call
"Hello to you too my dear son". Shakti greeted him with a sarcastic tone
"Give her a phone".
"Wouldn't you talk to your poor old dad"? Sadly he asked.
"You and poor it's a joke Mr Oberoi so now stop wasting time". Irritatingly he said.
"She is busy".
"Busy!! In what watching some stupid show".
"No. Busy in selecting the colour of her new mobile".
"She doesn't need one".
"Come on my son nowadays kids of the 4-5th standard have one since she is in college she needs to have a personal cell".
"Now again I have to do something to disappear it". Shivaay muttered but was heard by Shakti.
"I knew it. Only you can do something like this."
"So what? I will not let anyone grab her attention". Possessively he spoke.
"You spend a lakh every week just because you think a non-living thing is coming between you two," Shakti asked being shocked
"She spends more than 10 to 20 minutes on social site before going to sleep when she should give that time to me".
"Have you realise that you are sounding like a kid who doesn't want to share his toys". He teased him.
"Done wasting time. Kindly pass mobile to my love". He cut off the matter not wanting to get caught by his father.
Before he passes Anika shouted.
"Darling please make a call to Shiv I am confused about which colour I should take".
Now it was Shivaay's time to smirk in victory. Shakti passes the cell signalling that it is her husband on the call.
"Shiv which colour I should choose".
"Which model you are going to get?
"12 pro max".
"Sliver!!"
No, I used that".
"Pacific Blue".
"It's perfect". She clapped in happiness which brought a big smile to Shivaay's face although he has to plan something to hide that stupid device anyway her happiness is more important than anything.
"Darling I am going to get the phone in pacific blue colour".
"Jaana do you want to buy something else". Shakti asked eyeing surrounding.
"I pad and AirPods!!"
"Done".
"please pack all the mentioned items". Shakti said to the worker.
Soon they got a package and left from there.
Other purchases also send to the Oberoi mansion.
