It came as a shock to the business world when famous Business Tycoon Shivaay Singh Oberoi announced Annika,the girl with no name,bloodline or lineage as his wife.They seemed like a perfect couple to the world,with a perfect family.They had respect a...
"What was the name of the beach,again?", Annika asked for the umpteenth time for the day.
"Copacabana",Shivaay shook his head while entering the elevator with the shopping bags.He had offered to carry all the bags being the gentleman that he is.
They left the hotel after breakfast and directly hit the beach thereafter.Since then Annika have had a gala time.After sitting for a while and enjoying the early morning breeze,they visited famous streets nearby and had gone for some shopping.
In short,the day went amazingly well for the duo with lots of food and bickering included.Annika would have some or the other witty remarks to make about things around and it made their day all the way more lively.Shivaay could already say that this was the best trip of his lifetime.
Now,they were finally back to their hotel room and needless to say,were exhausted.As soon as they entered the room,there was a knock on the door.Annika offered to attend the door while Shivaay placed the bags.
She came back with a bouquet of lavender and purple rose along with a gift wrapped package.Shivaay smiled looking at it."A man just gave it to me,stating that it is for me.Ajeeb hai.",Annika said looking at the bouquet and the box.
She looked at a smiling Shivaay and instantly knew the source of the parcel.Her face lit up with glee.Shivaay stood with his arms crossed while she read the note card on the packet.It said,"For my beautiful lady".Annika couldn't help but blush,this man left no stones unturned to make her feel special.
"Are you even gonna open that?",Shivaay asked in a cheeky way.
Annika neatly unwrapped the gift.Something that she have picked up from Shivaay.
He watched carefully as her lips curved into a beautiful smile while taking his gift out of the box.
It was a navy blue draped dress with a spaghetti strap with a draped hem and v-neck.Clearly not Annika's style.

"Shivaay?",Annika prompted.
"Well,tomorrow,after the deal will be finalised there'll a party and I know you don't have any evening dress.You wouldn't yield,so I thought to,you know..",he trailed looking at her sheepishly.
Annika kept the bouquet and dress on the couch and walked towards Shivaay.He was surprised as she took him a bone crushing hug."Thank you,I love it.The flowers and the dress both.",she spoke in a muffled voice still hugging him.
"And me?",Shivaay teased making Annika loosen her hold.
Shivaay realised it and and hugged her back firmly."I'm kidding Annika.Relax",he spoke though he knew it wasn't the truth.
He had something for Annika,maybe not love but there was some force that always have them bound together.He didn't know what it was.
Breaking the hug,Annika gave Shivaay an unsure look."I've never pulled off a dress like that before.I'm not quite sure if I can carry it off.Besides,I don't think people would appreciate Oberoi bahu wearing such dresses.I'm the daughter in la-"
Shivaay spoke interrupting her,"Are you serious,Annika?Do you know how pathetic you sound right now?There's nothing like that.This isn't the eighteenth century!You can wear whatever you want and we're in Brazil if you've forgotten.Even if it was back in India,you would have no restrictions as such.You are my wife and you may do things as you please.I clearly didn't expect you to have such insecurities."
"Shivaay,it's just that..I..",Annika trailed
"What is it Annika?",Shivaay asked cupping her face.
"I don't know,I mean I've heard some aunty's talk about others' dressing style and stuff during some social parties we've been to.",she spoke looking down.
"And?",Shivaay asked unsure of where this is going.
"And,I don't want to be talked about in that way.They talk about daughter in laws of the family and expect them to be ideally dressed and ideally behaved.I don't want to hamper your family name.It's your pride.I thought wouldn't appreciate me wearing such dresses."Annika spoke looking down.
Shivaay lifted her face with his index finger by her chin and spoke in a soothing tone."It's OUR family,Annika.You are an equally important part of the family.And not only the family name,even you are my pride,you're my strength.You're the foundation to this wall that I am.You get that?",Tears started making it's way on Annika cheek as Shivaay spoke.
"Stop crying now!",he complained wiping her tears that didn't seem to stop."Also,it doesn't matter what people say,it really doesn't.It's your comfort and wish that matters.Why would you even think that I'll stop you from wearing what you like?All these while I thought you don't prefer wearing them because of comfort,why didn't you tell me before about this?",he wiped her tears.
"I don't want you to be ideal or perfect.I want you to be you.I like your flaws,they make you all the way more perfect.More than you can imagine.",he said kissing her forehead.
"You're the best,Shivaay.I'm lucky to have you.",Annika said resting her head on his chest.
"That I am.Tell me something new.",he said haughtily making Annika roll her eyes.
Lifting her head,she hit him on the shoulder."Trust you to spoil such moments being the high headed jerk that you are.",she spoke with fake annoyance.
Shivaay caught her hand,twisting it behind her back.He had an impish look,"I didn't knew that we were having a moment here",he whispered in her ears.
Annika gulped as he pulled her closer,leaving no space between their bodies.
"I-I didn't mean that.My phone is ringing,let me get it.",Annika wriggled under his hold.
Shivaay brought his face closer before pulling back altogether,making Annika's breath uneven.
She quickly took her phone and literally ran to the pool side making Shivaay chuckle.
*** All those who are waiting for their 'honeymoon' to unfold would have to wait a bit more😂❤️
