*Mumbai*
*Oberoi mansion *
Dadi was making preparations for welcoming Anika and Shivaay. Pinky (rather Rinky) saw everything and irked.

Pinky: What's all this mummyji?
Dadi: Aare woh... Woh....
Janvi(came at the right moment) : Woh, just preparations for the upcoming party.
Pinky: Party?
Janvi: Small private party with the business associates.
Pinky(thought something) : Oh that's goods. But where are the kids?
Janvi: They are coming back don't worry.
Pinky: But where did they go?
Dadi: Vacation because I sent them. Now no more questions and help me out with it.
Pinky(escaping): Actually Mummyji, I have some works so I need to go.

Pinky escaped while Dadi and Janvi heaved a sigh of relief.

Dadi: What is this party about?
Janvi: Shivaay had called me this morning and said that he wants to organize a small party with the business associates. He will introduce Anika and the other Obrohus.
Dadi(scared): Media?
Janvi: It will stay but won't post the news until said.
Dadi: Thank god. Okay then let's get everything done.

Dadi and Janvi with the help of the Helpers got everything ready.

*2 hours later*
The honking of the car indicated the arrival of them. Dadi stood by the door with the Aarti thal waiting for thr newly wed couple. Shivika along with the others came and stood in front of the door. Everyone seemed to be happy except Rumya. Rudra was angry while Soumya had a blank face. Rudra wasn't able to understand how to say this to the Family. Seeing everyone happy, he thought of revealing the matter later. Dadi welcomed Anika and Shivaay.

Dadi: Anika... Puttar kalash ko girake grihapravesh karo.

Anika remembered her first grihapravesh. As if sensing her, Shivaay held her hand. She looked at him who assured her to go ahead. Holding each others hand, she kicked the kalash. Janvi brought her in. Dadi did aarti for others too. Everyone except Shivaay was surprised seeing the whole mansion decorated.

Om: Dadi, any special occasion?
Dadi: Billu didn't say you all?
Mahi: What will Shivaay say?
Dadi: That....
Shivaay(cutting her in between) : Dadi.... We are very hungry. Let's have lunch. Please (indicating her not to say anything)
Dadi(understood): Haa let's go.
Rudra: Par Dadi aapne bataya nehi yeh sab kis liye?
Dadi: Woh...
Janvi(completing her words) : For Anika's welcome. Nothing else.
Om: But just now Dadi said Shivaay...
Shivaay: Om... You hear a lot. Aren't you all hungry? I am very hungry. Let's eat naa. Dadi, what you made for lunch?
Dadi: Haa, let's have lunch.

Everyone agreed and left the matter but Anika being Anika knew that something was definitely fishy behind all these. She thought of asking her baggad billa later in her own style. Everyone was enjoying the family time except Rumya. Anika looked through them and found some sort of tension. She thought of asking them later. She was happy seeing the increasing closeness of Rikara and Mohi. She has many things to settle.

*Shivika's room *
Anika locked the door of the room and stood in front of Shivaay with hands folded on her chest. He gave her a confused look while she gave a 'spit out the truth look'

Shivaay: Why such look?
Anika: Will you speak out now?
Shivaay: What should I say?
Anika: What are these decorations for in the house. It's definitely not for my welcome. So speak out.
Shivaay(caging her within his arms) : Why are you so intelligent? It's for a party at the night where I will introduce all the Obrohus and invite everyone for Priyanka and Raghav's marraige.
Anika(scared): Shivaay... Media will be there? Why? I don't want them...
Shivaay: Sshh.... Don't worry, they won't show the news until I say them to do so.
Anika(sighed): Thank god.
Shivaay: But why were you so scared regarding media?
Anika(covering it) : You see.... I am still not accustomed with the fame and popularity of being Shivaay Singh Oberoi's wife.
Shivaay: Only Shivaay....
Anika: But Shivaay, you also know that you are an Oberoi. Then why aren't....
Shivaay: I'm not an Oberoi. I am not..... And I am just in this house, because you said so. Otherwise....
Anika(cutting him) : Okay... Okay... Let's forget it. Why didn't you inform OmRuHi about this?
Shivaay: Surprise for everyone.... But seems like you can understand me too well.
Anika(encircles her hand around his neck) : Aakhir biwi hu mai aapki.
Shivaay(nuzzles his face in her neck) : Biwi... Haa...
Anika(giggles): Shivaay.... Chodiye mujhe.... I am feeling ticklish. (he leaves) Aacha I am noticing something is wrong between Rudra and Soumya. Did you notice it?
Shivaay: Hmm... I have noticed. I thought they have again fought on a very petty issue.
Anika(serious): I don't think so. I guess this time matter is very serious.
Shivaay(tightening his hold on her) : And I know that my Khidkitod wife will sort this out within no time.
Anika: That I will surely do. Leave that on me.
