All of them had a hearty lunch all the gang gifted Rikara. Shivaay got a phone call from office and he went to their room. After completing the call he opened his phone gallery to see the photos he had with his family. Tears flowed from his eyes. He kept his phone inside and looked at the sky. 

S: Mein aapko bohot miss kar raha hoon papa! 

Anika was searching for Shivaay and she came to their room. She saw Shivaay standing in the balcony and she moved to him.

A: Shivaay aap yaha kya kar rahe hai? Waha sab aap ke liye wait kar rahe hai!

Anika turned to see Shivaay's face was dull. She moved close to him and he took her tightly in her embrace. She felt he was not feeling good and rubbed his back gently. Both of them stood there for a while. 

A: Shivaay are you okay?

S: I am fine Anika! Thank you!!!

He said and gently kissed her forehead. All he wanted is her support and a person to share his pain. Getting that from his wife he never felt alone. Anika had became his best friend, his support, his family and his love. After listening to his heart he smiled. 

A: Shivaay Gayathri ma was calling you? Abhi chale?

She asked looking into his eyes. Shivaay slightly nodded no and asked for 2 more minutes. She did not protest him. Both of them closed their eyes feeling the moment. Rudra made his way to their room disturbing them.

R: Aahh! Meine kuch nahi dekha hai!

Both of them broke the hug and embarrassed. 

R: Di! Gayathri aunty was calling you and jiju! 

Shivaay: Tum chalo hum aate hai!

Rudra turned back to move and he reached near the door. He turned back seeing them and said,

R: If you want to continue this please close the door. Chotte bache bigad jayenge!

He said and ran away. Shivika chuckled. Both of them looked at each other. 

A: Abhi chale?

S: Hmm..

He gave his hand to her and she held it. Both of them went to Gayathri. Everyone had a happy time sharing their memories. It was decided to move back to Mumbai that evening as Gayathri wanted to welcome Gauri to their home as soon as possible. Packing their bags everyone reached near the entrance. Gauri's bidaai was done and her mother had a very hard time to control her emotions. Everyone reached Mumbai, late in the evening. All moved to Om's house. 

Gayathri welcomed Rikara after doing aarthi. Rikara were made to perform post-marriage rituals. After having dinner everyone left to their homes. Anika dozed off into sleep on Shivaay's shoulder with in their journey back to home. He took her in his arms and made her sleep comfortably on the bed. Shivaay then slept being tired. 

Next day: 

Shivaay woke up very late being tired completely. But his tiredness vanished into air when he saw Anika sleeping peacefully. Covering the duvet on her properly he got up from the bed and did his morning chores. After having a relaxing shower, he came out in his three piece suit to see his Anika still having a good sleep. He went to the kitchen and prepared breakfast for both of them. Placing them neatly in a tray he made his way to their room. 

Anika just came from a relaxing shower and drying up her wet hair. Water drops on her neck and on her face made his lose his senses. Control Shivaay, he muttered. Anika looked him and smiled.
