Shivika went downstairs for the lunch with Mr. Oberoi. Although Shivay asked Annika to have lunch in the room itself but she insisted on having lunch together. After all a family that eats together stays together that's what she believed moreover it didn't felt right to leave dad alone and have lunch in the room alone.

Shivay himself served Annika which instantly brought a cheeky smile on her face. Mr. Oberoi smiled at watching this over protective side of his son.

Annika was enjoying her food. Shivay made sure that he arranged her favourite food in the lunch. So keeping in mind her love for potatoes, he asked the cooks to prepare Aloo Pranthas for Annika.

She forwarded her hand to serve herself some pickle when he caught her hand and said,

"No Annika, you already had enough of it. it's not good for your throat" he cleared himself.

Annika could not hide the heat of embarrassment that smeared on her cheeks.
"This man is such a cute fool, doesn't he knows that a pregnant women always craves for something tangy"
She frowned at him and tried to look down, it was embarrassing in front of her dad in law.

"What ???" Shivay said to her, trying to understand the reason behind her frowning face.

A sudden laughter caught their attention, it was Mr. Oberoi, laughing at Shivay and Annika.

"Wh..What happened dad? Why you laughing?" Shivay asked him.
It was really confusing him to guess what was happening, first of all Annika gave him some tough looks and now his dad suddenly started laughing, What the hell was happening! he thought.

"Nothing billu, Annika will tell you! You both continue, I am full" Dad said and left still chuckling.

As soon as he left he heard Annika blabbering something.

"Now what are you saying? And tell me why was dad laughing?" he asked in amusement.

"You are such a stupid daddy Shivay!" Annika said in annoyance while a smile crept her lips.

"What? What made you say this now?" he asked in confusion.
Stupid? He was being called stupid and that too a stupid dad? Why!! he was now going mad.

"Don't you know that a pregnant lady can't live without pickles?? Raw mango, tangy lemon, all these are such delicious craving while pregnancy" she said pouting.

"Well I don't know because I m going to be father for the first time probably" Shivay said looking straight into her eyes.

"Even I m gonna be a mommy for the first time in that case" she said while stuffing her mouth with the paranthas and pickles.

Shivay chuckled at her cute frustrated face. He surely needed to go through some books on the do's and dont's for a father to be. He can not afford to make his queen angry and then suffer her mood swings moreover it was his responsibility to know what all a women goes through pregnancy.

"Okay Okay, it was my fault. I'll make sure I arrange all kinds of healthy and hygienic pickles for you" he said trying to woo his angry cute wife.

She grew excited and said, "pinky promise" while forwarding her pinky finger towards him.

This lady and her antics will surely make him fall for her again, this time more harder he thought while entangled his pinky finger with hers he spoke "Yes baby, pinky promise" , her eyes twinkled with happiness.
