Dil tadap k kehta hai

[Annika - A, Shivaay - S, Rudra - Ru, Gauri - G, Bhavya - B]

Shivaay took his files and was heading out while Annika was packing stuff in her handbag to leave.

S: Bye, see you over dinner

Annika was engrossed in looking for something in her bag.

A: Bye, love you

Shivaay stopped mid-step and turned around. He couldn't believe what he heard. His heart was beating fast with excitement

S(in his mind): Did she just say love you?

S: Umm what did you say?

Realization finally dawned upon Annika, she had said those words out loud for the first time and it wasn't even intentional.

A(in her mind): phail gaya raita.

A: I... I said Bye

S: after that?

A: I said luck to you

A(in her mind): well done Annika, this sounds legit. Luck to you

While she thought her "brilliant" cover-up had worked, her husband was much smarter. He knew what he heard

S: Hmmm

He walked out of the room

A(in her mind): baal baal bachi

5 seconds later, Shivaay came back and turned her towards him. He came closer, they could feel each other's breath. Annika's heart was beating so loud and fast with nervousness that one didn't need a stethoscope to hear her heartbeat.

He kissed the corner of her mouth and she basically stopped breathing. Then he whispered in her ear

S: I love you too

Annika's eyes opened up instantly, her insides had turned into mush.

Shivaay pulled apart

S: I'll kiss you properly, when you say the words properly, without taking them back

He winked at her and kissed her cheek before running out of the room. She touched her face where he kissed her a few moments ago, this was the first time she has been kissed by a man. She felt like she was in a movie and Shivaay was her hero. And she wanted to do something special for him.

She called the closest florist shop to Oberoi industries and had them deliver flowers to Shivaay's cabin.

When Shivaay entered his cabin he didn't really care about the flowers, even though they were his favorite. He was used to getting flowers from clients or media houses. He took his seat and then opened the note to see whom he needed to send a thank you note to. Man oh man was he surprised. A smile spread across his face, reaching his eyes as he read the note

"Have a nice day Mr. Husband"

He picked up his phone and called her

A: did you like them?

S: Yes, thank you but may I know the reason behind this?

He couldn't stop smiling like a goofball while talking to her

A: No reason. Who said only men can give flowers?

S: Good point (he nodded his head).
