"You know Tia we all missed you a lot and I hope Dushyant is treating you well!" Omkara said.

Rudra chirped in, not letting Tia say anything. "O, you don't know Dushyant jiju is taking care of her that too really well? And yes he loves her a lot, haven't you seen both the love birds yesterday and their public display of affection?" He teased. Tia blushed remembering the kiss that took place in front of the entire family.

"Rudra you na. . . .why are you teasing her? Now that she has come we'll have lots of fun." Omkara declared.

"Yes Tia we all can go somewhere. Maybe a club?" Priyanka, the youngest child of Oberoi's asked. She was still full of energy after returning from the trekking trip yesterday night .

"No Prinku we'll go to CCD. There is a grand party of its success and all the companies that have sponsored for it are invited with family, so we all will go. Okay?" Rudra asked excitedly.

"Yeah we all will go but, when did we sponsor? " Om questioned.

"Shivaay Bhaiya sponsored that too yesterday only, I toh seriously think, O, something is going between by two favourite persons." Rudra chimed.

Om smacked him, "Am I not your favourite person?"

"We are having a serious talk O. So, shut up." That made Om press his lips in a thin line as Rudra mimicked his gesture, infuriating Om even more.

"Something between whom?" Tia and Priyanka asked not aware of the mouth watering dish cooking between Shivaay and Anika.

Rudra and Om told them everything about Anika. Tia as well as Priyanka were flabbergasted and shook to core. "I wanted to make them friends but I think she soon would become our Bhabhi." Rudra chuckled.

"Shut up Rudra." Everyone screamed in between smiles except Priyanka.

"Tia can we take Gauri there too? She'll enjoy. " Om asked.

"And Saumya too. I think she is bored of eating parathas. There she will get to eat new items." Rudra joked by keeping it casual as he didn't wanted them to tease him, knowing he desperately wanted to spend some time with her.

Tia nodded "Okay-okay we all will go. Fine?"

"Di can Ranveer also go?" Priyanka asked nervously yet shyly.

"No." The brothers spoke.

"Stop becoming so overprotective Om and Rudra. He'll come. No more discussions." Both nodded reluctantly, a foul, displeasing look marking their faces.

"Thank you so much Di." Priyanka side hugged her after her brothers left.

"You're welcome sweetheart. " Tia replied.

Tia was well aware of everyone's love interest. She was really someone whom he/she can be at their best. She always laughed at the silly jokes of Rudra and praised Omkara's Shayari's. Everyone genuinely adored her as whenever she comes to the mansion, it becomes more jaunty as ever. Om had told her, about his crush Gauri, before anyone knew and Rudra hadn't told her but his regular talks about Soumya as if she was ubiquitous cleared her instinct. Priyanka had too told her about Ranveer, how she has met him and the times he appeared as her knight in shining armor.

Only Shivaay had not told as he was less at expressing things but after getting to know about Anika she was having a strong vibe that she can be his partner. . . .life partner.

"Rudra have you called Shivaay? We all are ready. Its eight already. We'll be late." Omkara stated still putting up the buttons of his hand collar.

"He will reach there directly." Rudra answered calling all the ladies to come down so that they'll reach there.

"I heard it right all the girls take so much time in getting ready as if they are preparing for the world war three or are in the giant mission of craving a temple or making Taj." He spoke to Om being frustrated.

"We are here cry baby." Soumya answered coming down with the other three. Both Om and Rudra turned to witness their angels coming down. They were lost so were the angels to see their handsome princes.

"Soumya I think we should leave. We all are already late and ya Gauri we called you here so we all can go together but I think you are lost." Tia remarked giggling. All four were embarrassed and then left for the party.

"Khanna have you brought that black suit from home and ironed it properly?" Shivaay asked still busy in reading some documents. "Yes sir. Here it is." He handed him. "Okay." He changed and directly went to CCD. He was looking dapper.

×××

"Bhaiya ji do this properly. And put the dry plates in that corner." Anika went ahead to look for other arrangements. "Ohh bhaiya not that corner. Put it there and. . . ." She was interrupted by a tap on her shoulder.

"Di" Anika saw Rudra and hugged him immediately.

"How are you? And what are you doing here?" Anika asked wondering, still excited.

"Actually our company has too sponsored and hence the reason of our presence greeting you. By the way Di you are looking beautiful, how many you are gonna flat today?" Rudra asked.

Anika blushed and said, "Thank you so much buddy." Her eyes glanced over the bartender and she squinted. Can they do something perfectly? "You all sit here. I will come in a minute." She ran to stop the him to mess the things again.

Shivaay reached the venue and met his family. Tia complimented, "Hot Damn! Shivaay, you are looking so good."

"Thank you Tia, you cleaned up well too." He too complimented. Then he began looking here and there.

"Bhaiya whom you are looking for, Anika Di ?" Rudra seriously has a degree in teasing. "Uh, actually. . . ."

"Shivaay she is in the terrace." Priyanka unfolded the mystery. "I have to make an important call. . . ." Shivaay spoke and went from there, fastening his pace. "Ya ya go, who has stopped you?" Om spoke, winking at Rudra.

Shivaay reached the terrace which was decorated glamorously looking picturesque. He saw her from the back asking someone to see the preparations downstairs. The waiter went. She too was going, when their eyes met.

He checked her out and then slowly spoke to himself being audible only to himself. "Oh God! I will have a tough time controlling myself."

Heyaa! I hope you enjoyed.
