8 months later

"Bhaiya, that flower has to be arranged there, not here. Do it fast, the timing is of today's evening", Annika said running fastly from one corner to another.

She entered the kitchen muttering things to herself and saw cooks and servants preparing the delicacies.

"Listen. Prepare the sweets first. Dadi wants everything homemade so first make sure it's done anyhow by evening", Annika informed one of them who nodded.

Shivaay, who was leaning to a wall smiled seeing this. He has been looking at his wife since past 30 minutes, who is running here and there to make sure everything is ready for evening's engagement ceremony.

Several things happened in past 8 months. Gauri and Omkara got ready for the wedding after realising their feelings for each other. Rudra and Bhavya were now unofficially a couple, though they want an year or two before getting married. Arnav and Khushi are pregnant and all set to welcome their first baby. Happiness has come over their home in these months.

Shivaay and Annika are having blissful marital life, with all the ups and downs a couple faces. They fight, there are times when they don't agree with each other but they talk over the thing and sorts out the problems. In these months, Shivaay has become more casual about his romantic side, now entire family knows how much he is smitten by his wife. Both are doing success in their professional lives and had learn to balance well between their personal and professional life.

It was Om and Gauri's engagement ceremony today, it was firstly scheduled one month ago but because of some crisis in their london branch, Shivaay had to go there and being his secretary, she had to accompany him. They have come back this morning.

"Shivaay", Om exclaimed seeing his brother after a month. Shivaay smile seeing him and both shared a hug.

"When did you come back?", he asked Shivaay.

"This morning, jet delayed because of weather else we would have come back last night. So? All set?", Shivaay asked.

"Yeah, I guess. I mean I am ready but slightly nervous", Om said.

"Remember what you told me at my engagement. You love her, she's going to be your finally. Just stay happy and live the moment", Shivaay patted his back making Om smile and nod.

"I will go and talk to Gauri, hasn't talked since morning", Om said.

"Yeah, I need to talk to your bhabhi who seems upset from me", Shivaay sighed.

"Definitely she is. She missed you badly these days. She was smiling for us but we noticed her gloomy face", Om informed.

"I know. I missed her too, if it won't have been emergency, I won't have left for London. She was also busy in their dental that I would have taken her along", Shivaay replied.

"Now what ever it is, handle Bhabhi", Om winked going from there. Shivaay nodded walking to the kitchen.

"Dare anyone go from here, mujhse bura koi nahi hoga", he heard Annika's voice as soon as he enter the kitchen. He always makes servants leave from the place if he comes in the kitchen while she's working.
