Author's POV
Anika fell asleep on the shoulder of Shivaay with her hands wrapped around his back. Shivaay took a little glance of his sleeping beauty, her face is hidden in his chest. However, he could see her side face.

beautiful and serene!

He took her in his arms and made it to the room.
********
So beautiful, so serene and So mine. How does she always succeed in making me go nuts?

He thought staring at her. After a minute or two, as he was too busy in cherishing the beauty lying beside him, he did not notice the slight change in her position. He also failed to see those hands of hers which were kept clasped close to her chest, had also changed their places.

Now, her hands were kept around his waist, quite shockingly and slowly pulling him to her side more. With that steady pull by a sleepy Anika, Shivaay suddenly became aware of his new position.

Was he really all over her side? Like really? Literally there was not an inch gap between them and she kept snuggling more into him.

At least they could have let the air pass!

Her right upper front was pressed against his left upper body and right under his chest. Without having any other option left, he let it happen and quite in reflex, hugged that sleepy figure of his ladylove.

It was very awkward to get close to her on bed as this was the first time in two years, they slept together. He sighed in peace. Peace being with the same crazy lady, who had made him almost chase her across the world, down the island.

He could not imagine what could have happened if he would not have been in the pub at the right moment. It was him who always thought the worse of the situation when it comes to their love.

The moment, he was informed about Anika being at the night club for whatever reason, he did know something like this, was bound to take place.

He had no qualms to get into the feat of rage and start arguing with her that moment. Rather he was determined to take her away from the place. However it was when they got caught offguard by the media.

Let bygones be bygones.

Looking at her sleep engulfed, calm face with a tiny shy smile playing on her lips, as if she was in her dream fairy land, Shivaay too wished to be with her in her dreamland.

Only if, he would know that her dreams only moved around him.
*********
The clock showed 2 AM.

But sleep was far from his eyes. As if still in a bedazzled state, he kept looking at Anika in his arms. He never thought that he could have got her back after what they both had gone through all these years. He had almost no expectations for getting her love.

But he never lost his hopes to achieve that love from her. He literally earned it. He recalled how much efforts and sources he had to put in work only to trace her.

Unknown to everyone, he quite literally became her silent follower. Wherever she went, he followed her discreetly either with the help of his innumerable agents or we know technologies help us a lot. Okay! He got into the shoes of a stalker, not completely though. However there was a lot of times he thought to whisk her away but he never tried to intrude in her privacy.

Shivaay knew about her job, her staying with Vikram and Mallika. But Vikram's truth wasn't known as it only came to his knowledge while watching that clip on the other day.

Apart from this, in the absence of Anika, he also looked after Suresh and Sahil. He brought them in Oberoi mansion. Also, Sahil got admitted in a good school as Shivaay helped Suresh. Shivaay advised him if he wanted his son to get proper education, he should have thought of a good school without thinking about the fees.

Even, he made sure that Anika's Dadaji, Rishiraj Mittal got a proper redemption. More than half percent of the shares in Mittal's group got transferred to Anika's accounts. He didn't stop here. He also took legal actions against the lawyer uncle of Mittal family who supported Dadaji.
********
Recalling all these and staring at her constantly, he didn't know when sleep made its way in his eyes. He felt dizzy. Having hands around her hips and waist, nuzzling more in her hair, he dozed off. It was indeed a peaceful windy cold night when it was continuously drizzling outside. Only the source of warmth was forming in each other's arms and giving them solace.
**********
Next Day

Anika wriggled up as the warm sunlight finally and successfully got her awake from her slumber. Her hands got a reach to something and grabbed the nearest pillow and cuddled with it.

After a good few seconds, she understood the darn difference between a soft pillow and a human being. Her eyes were opened wide as the realisation dawned on her sleepy state.

"Shivaay"
She looked beside her, thought to nudge him and wake him up. Also yes! To show some tadi? How did he dare to lay beside her? But she melted to have a look at the child snoring beside her.

Awww.. how cute he looks while sleeping and snoring lightly. Few strands in his beard were glistening. She examined those as she neared more to his face.

She narrowed her eyes only to have a bright smile that crept up to her lips.

Saliva? Really? Does he still sleep like a baby who drools in sleep?

She couldn't help but burst into soft giggles still concerned not to break bagad billa's slumber. She slowly and carefully took her hands back from his fist and murmered a "bagad billa" while getting up from the bed.
********
Anika got freshen up and took a quick shower before Shivaay could have made her hurry to get out of the bathroom. As she went out and stood before the dressing table for an even more swift touch up, she got aware of him being already woken up.

"You woke up? Good morning" Anika greeted him with a warm nice smile while looking at Shivaay with messy hair and crumbled up kurta through the mirror. In return, she got a stern look of him. His blue eyes were now having a shade of light navy blue. How strange! She had yet to discover the exact colour of his eyes. Blue but which blue?

"I only awake with someone's khik khik. Some Panika was sleeping beside me and suddenly started giggling for God knows what reason. Let her know my good morning!" With a grumpy face, he pouted and left the bed to go to the washroom.

Indeed it was a good morning! To wake up to such morning, also beside him, having him pissed off. It felt so blissful. She smiled unknowingly and started combing her wet dripping hair. It's going to be a hectic day, she needed to find that person out. But morning shows the day! Therefore she knew that she would be successful.
