Weeks passed shivaay and annika were gradually coming close to each other. They were finding comfort together. Both were more like friends who can openly talk. Their teasing section was part of their routine. Hesitation was nowhere to see between them. All they would do is feel free to express their emotions. Unknown to the storm which is coming to their life.

As usual, shivaay was the first one to take bath. Annika went to the washroom as shivaay came out wiping his wet hair. Shivaay was all set to go when she came out freshened up. He was standing behind her while she puts on the dupatta which was quite lengthy and she had to spend more time adjusting it. The bottom of the dupatta was touching the floor behind her, while she adjusts the other end on her front. She stepped on the material and slipped due to the lacy floor. Shivaay tried to hold her, but he couldn't get a proper grip so he had to push her to the bed in order to prevent her from falling on the floor. As a result, both fell on the bed. shivaay's head was in the crook of her neck as he could not balance due to the sudden force.  Shivaay's hot lips are in contact with her cold skin of nap. Her eyes were shut as a shiver ran through her veins. His lips lingered there as he pulled back to balance himself
S: So.. Sorry
He apologized nervously

He was surprised to see her smiling looking at him. Her one hand reached his face and held it gently while other one was gripping his shoulder. She smiled admiring his face which made him confused to the core.

S: wh...at?

A: thank you! if you hadn't held me I would have fallen down

Smiling ear to ear she said. Raising her head and taking it near to his face, she kissed him on his cheek. He was extremely shocked plus surprised. He was taken back to reality as she pushed him aside and got up from the bed while he laid there, hand touching his cheek where she has kissed

S: heyy, what's that
Sitting on the bed he asked her

A: sweet gift to a sweet person

Looking back she winked at him to which he blushed profusely

There was no more awkwardness between them rather than comfort. He liked the way she initiates things. It was the first time she kissed him after their first kiss. He is glad as she is happy with him

When they were back home in the evening

A smile was playing on her lips while she admired a selfie of shivaay and her, which they had taken when went out to spent a previous holiday.

'he looks good' unknowingly her mind spoke. Biting her tongue she left a smack on her head.
' what's happening to you Annika'
She said to herself and shook her head to divert her thoughts. A frown forms on her face when she received a message from an unknown number. Her heart beats very fast when her eyes caught the sight of the picture that an unknown person had sent. She saw him after ages, her biological father! The biggest nightmare of her life. Her past visuals haunted her. She was numb and began to sweat badly. She read the text below the picture.

'Enjoy your life as much as you can baby. It's going to be a hell soon. Now I don't need much time to find your father. It's a promise from your lovely mother'

The next second she threw her phone with full force, making it scattered on the floor being thousand peace. She quickly grabbed a key from the side table and rushed out of the room. Getting into the car she started it while her hands shivered with fear. Her breaths were heavy. Tears were continuously flowing from her eyes which made her sight blurry. But she didn't care to wipe it. Her hiccups were something she couldn't suppress. Driving the car at full speed, she reached the Trivedi mansion and got down from the car before rushing inside without caring to close the door.
