Anika jerked in fear by his sudden stunt, chuckling at her reaction shivaay sat on skipping a step which is above to the step she was sitting. He sat with his legs on either side of her, which results their position as anika sitting between his legs on stairs. Anika turned towards the her left, supporting  back on his right knee which is just behind her, turning her face towards him she questioned "what?" through expression

"what are you doing here?"  shivaay questioned combing her unsettled hair with his fingers. " they are few last minute decorations, I will go to sleep after making sure everything is done for tomorrow's pooja" anika yawned , she was asked to decorate hall for pooja which dadi wanted to perform next day morning.

"humm!" shivaay reacted in low voice with his concentration  on wiping her sweat beads, he signalled one of the workers in hall to direct table fan towards anika making her pass a soft smile.

Shivaay took anika's left hand and pushed a ring on her ring finger taking her by surprise. It was a ring with stones designed in moon shape along with a small star. Shivaay already warned that he is not gonna take ring back it would be better if she accept without any drama.

"this... -" seeing her expression shivaay continued "the same ring which you liked when we went to buy engagement ring!"

" what's running in your mind. Continously gifting me!?" anika twisted ring on finger, admiring it.
