"Arnav any updates from investigator?" Shivaay walked in the guest room where Arnav was staying. He sighed nodding in no.

"Dammit!" He cursed running his hand through his hair.

Knock* Knock*

"Come in"

Khanaa walked in, "Yes Khaana"

"Sir, we have found a track and if everything goes fine we shall be able to find that person in an hour."

"Catch that bastard and tie him up in the warehouse. Understood." Shivaay spoke in deadly voice making Khanna gulp.

"Yes sir" he immediately left.

..
In Om's room..

Om and Anika were busy painting his new sculpture. Om was against Anika to work as her wrist were still a bit sore but looking at her puppy face and constant request he agreed to her but made sure she is comfortable and the work doesn't put much pressure on her hand.

"Vaise Om, tumhari koi girlfriend hai kya?" Listening to this, paintbrush left his hands falling on the ground.

He picked up the brush.." Uh...why are you asking about it suddenly bhabhi?"

"Aise hi, so anyone special?" She raised her eyebrows while continuing her work.

"No..no bhabhi, I'm single okay."

"Which means you are ready for arrange marriage?"

"Voh...ha..yes..but not now bhabhi." How could he tell her that his heart was slowly falling for her best friend. He didn't knew how but it just happened.

Bark* Bark* Bravo rushed in jumping around Anika's stool making her giggle.

"Awww my baby is back from the walk.. " Anika petted him with other hand.

Om grabbed Bravo in his arms which earned lots of licks from him, he slowly settled Bravo on Anika's lap . Since past few days Bravo knew something was wrong with Anika's hands so he made sure not to pounce on her lap here and there and just snuggle into her stomach not before licking her hand once as a sign of love.

Anika and Om continued working with pep talks and taking breaks in between.

"Bhabhi, only little bit is remaining. You go and take rest..I'll do the rest."

"You sure Om? I can help...it won't take much time if we both do it."

"Yes bhabhi but you are still recovering and your hand needs rest." He grabbed the brush from her hand.

Anika nodded and stood up streching herself. "See you at dinner." She walked out towards her room.

Opening the door, she was surprised to find it empty. Usually, Shivaay would be doing his work...he has decided to work from home until she gets all fit and fine..his words.

It's not that Anika didn't persuade him that she is all fine and he can go to office but bagad billa when once makes a decision he doesn't give sh*t what others are saying.

She walked in the shower, allowing hot water to glide down her body. Her eyes caught hold of the marks around her neck that were now healed..thanks to prescribed ointment.

Taking her leisure time , she cleaned herself up before wrapping bathrobe and walking out of the room.

She skipped towards the bed to grab the phone and play some music.. unknown to her, there was already an audience present there who was looking at her wide eyes.

Anika twirled around with lyrics only to get her leg caught into the carpet and loosing her balance.

"Ahhh" Shriek left her mouth, she closed her eyes in fear. Before she could touch the ground two arms wrapped around her waist protecting her from falling.

She slowly opened her eyes only to meet with his kanji aankhein. Anika had his shirt clutched into her fist.

"You okay?" He asked but she was so lost into her eyes that she didn't hear what he was saying.

"Anika....are you okay?" He made her stand with his hands still around her waist. Coming out if trance she just nodded.

"What if you have fallen down and got injury..huh? When will you stop being clumsy Anika." He scolded her but politely.

"Sorry" she mumbled knowing it was her mistake.

"I just want you to be extra careful. You have recently recovered and we don't want you to get injured once again do we?" Anika shook her head making him sigh.

And as if something striked their mind..both turned their back towards each other. Anika felt her cheeks turning red with mere thought that he had seen her in bathrobe especially when it hardly reached her but*.

"I..I will go and freshen up!" Shivaay rushed inside washroom nit waiting for her to answer. Anika rushed inside her closet and quickly put some comfy clothes before walking downstairs.

"Mumma, Pappa.." Anika was surprised seeing her parents present in the hall. Last she met them was three days back.

"How are you princess?" Harsh asked lovingly patting his daughter's head.

"I'm doing great."

"Maaji, ab jab Anika theek ho gai hai toh voh aur Shivaay kal mata ke mandir jo Mumbai ke bahar hai..vaha jakar aakhri vidhi sampan kar le?" Anika's mother asked.

"Sarika iska faisla Shivaay aur Anika karenge, Anika puttar tu bata..tere kya kehna hai?" Dadi asked

"Umm...no problem Dadi, hum chale jayge"

"Nahi!" Came Shivaay's answer from behind.

"Dadi , Anika ko abhi rest ki zaroorat hai."

"Shivaay, I'm fine. And this ritual is important...we have postponed it for a week" countered Anika

"Your health is important here Anika, no discussion." Shivaay glared making Anika huff. Though she had angry expression on her face but from inside her heart warmed seeing his care for her.

"Toh tum dono dekh lena kab jaana hai." They nodded and Anika left for her room followed by Shivaay.

In between Shivaay's phone rang making him stop.

"Hello"

"Sir, we have caught him" answered from the other side.

"Arnav reach the warehouse" Shivaay informed and walked out of the mansion driving to the warehouse.

Shivaay walked in radiating a powerful aura, infront was the person tied up with his face hidden in black mask.

He opened the mask..."You!" Shivaay shouted and punched him on the face making the person groan.

Arnav walked in and was shocked to see the person infront.

....to be continued.
