Annika looked at Tia laying on their bed, worry seeping into her mind as she looked at the unconscious woman in front of them.

"Why do you think she decided to come here?" Omkara looked at Shivaay who was rubbing his jaw in contemplation.

"I don't know," he shook his head. He looked at his brothers, "Well at least we can get information from her without having to go to her."

Rudra nodded. "Less work for us."

Omkara tilted his head, staying quiet as he pointed at her, "Whoever electrocuted her wanted to hurt one of you." He turned to Shivaay and Annika.

The couple exchanged a worried glance.

"Veer?" Annika asked, anger lacing her tone. Shivaay blinked in surprise as did Rudra and Omkara. Annika sighed, shaking her head. Her temper had been rising since her dreams the previous night.

Shivaay shook his head slowly, "Unlikely."

"Kyun?" Rudra agreed with Annika. "He tried to send Bhabhi to a mental asylum and we know that he's working towards the destruction of our family."

"But we still haven't been able to figure out the why behind it," Omkara nodded at Shivaay. "I'm with Shivaay on this."

Annika and Rudra rolled their eyes.

"Tum log jao," Shivaay nodded, walking towards the drawer near Tia, and taking out a thin blanket before covering his ex fiancée with it.

Annika raised an eyebrow, a smirk on her lips as she thought to herself, 'Overacting? Ab dekhiye asli acting kya hota hain!'

She turned to Omkara and Rudra, "Shivaay is correct. There's a lot to be done for the bonfire ceremony tomorrow." Shivaay looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "You guys should go and check on the status while I stay here alongside Shivaay to look after Tia."

"Wait," Shivaay frowned, "Why are you going to stay here? Main hoon na?" He pointed at the unconscious figure of Tia, "I can look after her."

"Yeah," Annika nodded, "And I'll help you to look after her."

Shivaay's lips twitched upwards, "One person is enough to look after an unconscious one."

Annika pursed her lips, "You might need assistance."

"Problem kya hain?" Shivaay prodded.

"Problem hain nahi, ho jayegi," Annika muttered under her breath.

"Kya?" Rudra scrunched his nose in confusion.

"I mean," Annika noticed Shivaay and Omkara's knowing smiles and walked towards Tia, adjusting the duvet, making sure to tuck in the sides. "Clearly, Shivaay cannot be trusted to look after Tia. Bechari shiver kar rahi hain. And he didn't even notice."

Shivaay chuckled, "You're jealous."

"Jealous?" Annika crossed her arms in front of her, raising an eyebrow in challenge. "Hum?" She scoffed, "Please! As if!"

"Arre Bhabhi, kaha aap khidkitod Annika Bhabhi, aur kaha ye behosh Lady Baba. Aapko chinta karne ki koi zarurat nahi hain." Rudra assured her.

"I'm not worried," Annika stomped a foot for good measure, a frown on her lips.

Shivaay shook his head, shoulders shaking in silent laughter. "It's alright to admit it, you know?"

Annika's eyes narrowed, "I'm not worried." She looked at Tia laying unconscious on the bed, "Truth be told, anytime these three sisters come into our lives, kuch na kuch raita phela ta hain."
