"You are going anywhere, Anni? If yes, then I will come with you too," Shivaay said with a frown.

"You think I will go alone, leaving you? We both are going, and why are you always impatient and don't listen to my words fully and come to conclusions?" Annika asked with a chuckle, and her eyes held amusement.

"Oh," Shivaay said, rubbing his neck with a chuckle. Annika shook her head and laughed at his reaction.

She led him to the bike and handed him a helmet.

"Ohoo, looks like it's going to be a romantic bike ride, Khanna," Dev said, looking at both of them with a teasing smile. Shivaay blushed at that.

"So what? Do you have any problem, Dev?" Annika asked boldly, making Shivaay's ears turn redder, and Khanna, Dev, and Shivaay also looked surprised at her direct admission.

Shivaay noticed that her cheeks were tinged red and looked at her with amusement. She was bold enough to say those things but would also blush at the same time! It was adorable how she could appear both shy and bold at the same time.

"No, not at all. Bye-bye, guys; I won't waste your romantic time anymore," Dev said dramatically and moved towards his car and leaving a blushing Shivika behind.

Annika tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. Noticing Shivaay staring at her, she turned around and was about to take a step forward when she felt him tugging on her hand.

He already placed the helmet on the bike before gently took hold of her hand.

Annika's heart skipped a beat at the simple touch. There was a mixture of both excitement and nervousness washing over her. It was as if her feelings, which had been simmering all day, were finally coming to the surface. This was a new feeling for her, and she knew this was because of her admitting her feelings and also realizing how she had already accepted him as her life partner.

"I wanted to tell you something," she heard Shivaay's voice and came out of her thoughts.

She turned to face him and looked into his eyes and raised her eyebrows with a soft smile.

Shivaay's grip remained firm, his gaze locked onto hers with an intensity that made her heart race for a second.

"No, actually, I wanted to do something." Before Annika could process his words, Shivaay pulled her closer, their bodies are almost touching. She placed her hand on his shoulder in reflex; she could even feel the warmth of his closeness.

"What...?" she started to ask, but he took her by surprise by gently removing the hairband which held her hair in a ponytail. Letting her hair fall freely, he buried his face in her now loose hair and nuzzled into it and inhaled it's intoxicating scent.

"This," he murmured, his voice filled with a contented sigh. "I missed this!"

His husky voice, his words, and his act-all these sent a flurry of butterflies through Annika's stomach, and her cheeks flushed red.

They stayed in the same position for a while, the cool breeze gently swirling around them.

"I didn't even do this for more than a day. When I tried to do it in the morning, you escaped," Shivaay whined, nuzzling deeper into her hair. Annika chuckled softly at his complaint.

"Don't blame me, huh? You should blame your stupid punishment for it," Annika said with a playful tone.

"Yeah, I agree, it was one stupid punishment. I even felt it was more like my punishment than yours," Shivaay grumbled, making her chuckle.
