All the annual events of Cantonment were over. The entire month was heavily hectic for Jhanvi as being the wife of the Commander, she was the head of Army Women Welfare orgnisatiom of Ranikhet better known as AWWA. She had to judge all the events alongside Tej who was just available for the sports events. Jhanvi had to also go to various apartments to judge the best kept one along with some other high official's wives and Anika have to accompany her on her order.

How ironic for Anika, the person who herself doesn't keep her apartment clean was judging others!

It was Diwali just the next day and Anika with help of Mallika who had visited again for Diwali as promised cleaned the apartment and decorated it for the festival.

Diwali, festival of lights is celebrated by Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and some Buddhists every autumn in the northern hemisphere while in spring in southern hemisphere. One of the most popular festivals of Hinduism, Diwali symbolises the spiritual 'victory of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance.' Light is a metaphor for knowledge and consciousness.

During the celebration, temples, homes, shops and office buildings are brightly illuminated. Although the festival involves fireworks not traditionally but had evolved overtime, Anika clearly condemn this act considering the heavy environment damage it cause.

Shivaay's house was full of relatives. His Dadi had came over with his Bua, his father's only sister Roop who happened to be a widow and didn't had any kids. Anika was so agitated with the lady.  Even Dadi approves Shivaay and Anika relationship not verbally but silently. She do avoid Shivaay but always bless Anika with the words 'Saubhagyawati bhav' Anika knew that Dadi do love Shivaay even if she doesn't show but she can't say same for his Bua.

The lady get some weird happiness reminding Shivaay about his biological parents or showing pity on him. Well she doesn't dare to do it in presence of Tej Singh Oberoi whose glare could bury her six feet down.

She clearly dislike Anika as well, for what, Anika didn't knew!

Early morning Anika's sleep was disturbed by a phone call. Without seeing the caller ID she received it in a half asleep state, and spoke in a slumbery voice.

"The user you are trying to reach is currently sleeping, please call after sometime!"

"Happy Diwali Kohinoor and yes Good morning"

Her eyes opened wide seeing the caller ID. She could hear him laughing from the other as he commented "You have started working in the call center as well Ms Roy?"

Anika smiled sheepishly before lying back on her pillow with a gorgeous shine on her face credit to the caller on the other side.

"It's holiday Shivaay" she excused to which Shivaay rolled his eyes  "It's eight in the morning Anika and you are still sleeping. Wake up I am coming with some Diwali special breakfast so get ready soon." with this he dropped the call and Anika glared at his picture in her phone's wallpaper before kissing on it and then chuckling at her own act!

She went to wake Mallika and Sahil, well she can't miss food made by Dr. Douchebro!

Within an hour Anika's apartment was full of peoples. Shivaay came along with Rudra and Arnav, how can they miss to call Om, Gauri and Bhavya, who had also arrived for Diwali.

Shivaay had cooked Masala Dosa with peanut chutney, semiya upma along with milk cake for everyone. While others were chatting Anika was more involved in the food and Shivaay was more involved in seeing her eating with his alluring smile on his face.

"Bhaiya----" called Rudra but Shivaay was far lost in seeing Anika eating with Chutney all around her lips.

"Careless adorable Kohinoor" he muttered to himself smiling widely!

"Bhaiya?" called Rudra again as by now everyone's focus was on Shivaay who still was in his own zone. Blood rushed to Anika's cheeks seeing him like this. She snapped her fingers infront of him as he finally came into his senses.

He looked at everyone who were looking him with a teasing smirk except a blushing Anika. "What?" he asked frowning to which Rudra commented snickering "Nothing Bhaiya it's just that someone is so into love that he isn't feeling hungry at all." he said showing the untouched plate of Shivaay.

"Nothing like that I--I was just thinking about the surgery scheduled for tomorrow."

He lied looking at his plate while Anika internally chuckled at his lame excuse when Om commented "But Shivaay there is no surgery scheduled for tomorrow remember I also work there only."

"Ok fine I was lost in Anika, anyway it's her fault to look this adorable while eating."

He gave up frowning "and now if you guys don't eat silently I am snatching the plates away" added Shivaay with a glare to which others giggled looking down back in their dishes.

After breakfast Sahil excused himself for studies, he was having double pressure focusing on his twelfth exams as well as the upcoming NDA exams. Sahil didn't want to let go of a chance after all what his sister did for him. He had been taking classes from Shivaay for SSB practical and was really dedicated toward his goal. Anika can't help but feel proud of her brother who was more like her son!

Mallika dragged Gauri and Bhavya to show them her new dress and jewelry, she had bought for the Diwali occasion leaving Anika behind with the boys knowing very well she isn't a fan of these things. Well if it would have been about techs, cars, bikes or beverages Anika would have been the first one to rush.

"So Rudra I got to know you and Bhavya are seeing each other?" Om initiated a serious conversation to which Rudra nervously looked at Shivaay.

Anika knew about it because Rudra had told about it to Shivaay who had inturn shared with her. Even Bhavya have told to her when last time she, Bhavya, Mallika and Gauri were on a conference call. She expectantly waited for Rudra's answer.

"Om---"Shivaay began but Om showed his palm to him. "Shivaay let Rudra answer, he is your brother after all even he should be honest about his feelings and should have guts to admit it. Rudra just like you are my brother Bhavya is also my sister and in no way I would accept if this is just a fling."

Anika looked at Om surprised because the tone he had used for Rudra was so new. She looked at Arnav and Shivaay who were suprised as well. Om can be dangerous when he comes in his protective brother form.

"O to be honest,  my feeling for Bhavya are still new to decide and Bhavya know this even Bhavya isn't sure about her feelings. We aren't in a romantic relationship. We are just in a situation of compatibility. We are seeing each other because we both are in defence sector so perfectly understand each other's priority. I do like Bhavya but about love I am not sure but trust me she isn't a causal fling for me. I am looking forward for my life with her." answered Rudra honestly.

Anika looked suprised at the way Rudra answered, well she was more used to the goofy Rudra not this mature one.

"Wow Rudy can be serious too" commented an amazed Arnav to which others chuckled as Om pulled Rudra in a hug "I would really want you guys to end together. I know I don't need to say that but don't hurt even though she is a police officer and very independent I always feel a responsibility and protectiveness toward her just like I feel for Anika."

Anika looked at Om with a raised eyebrow "Hey but you never interrogated Shivaay like you interrogated Rudra." That's when even Rudra realized this and came out of the hug "Exactly this is partiality O, no interrogation for Shivaay Bhaiya?"

"Duffer in Shivaay and Anika's case remember I was the first one to ask Shivaay about his feelings and the honesty he kept that day can't even leave a speck of doubt and Anika let me enlighten you, you were the last one to know about Shivaay's feelings for you." Om ended with a tease.

Anika looked at Shivaay with a frown "you should have told me first" she complained to which Shivaay raised an eyebrow "When I told you late then you rejected me if I would have told you earlier you would have even stopped talking to me. Anyway I was so open, I didn't hide a thing you were too naive not to identify."

"Now you are putting the blame on me. If you would have told me earlier I would have realized earlier."

"Really? Trust me you would have even stopped looking at me, I know you more than you know yourself."

"Excuse me don't show this much tadi ok."

"I am showing tadi?  It's you who is fighting without any reason!"

"I am not fighting it's you who is arguing unnecessary. Can't you just accept that if you would have confessed me before I would have realized earlier."

"Why should I accept when this isn't the fact? You weren't in your comfort zone and I would have lost even your friendship if I would have told my feelings."

"Nonsense I would have understood okay!"

"Please you----"Shivaay was interrupted by Om.

"Will you both stop fighting like kids?"

"Don't interrupt Om!" scolded Shivaay to which Anika glared him "Wow now if Om is saying something than also you are having a problem you know what you are a---a----billu!"

"Anika don't call me that!" warned Shivaay pulling her towards him.

"No I will call you Billu, Billujii----" she teased him running out of his hold as he ran after her trying to catch hold of her and they ended up there Tom and Jerry race in Anika's room with Shivaay above her tickling her as she laughed out loud trying to stop her.

"Shivaay---stop---it!" Anika pleaded in between her laughter as she pulled his hand making him completely fall over her. Balancing on one hand he looked at her stroking her cheeks ever so lightly with his thumb, her breaths were uneven, her cheeks were red but still her eyes were locked with his spectral ones while a smile reflecting his alluring one was intact on her cherry red beautiful face.

"Just a reminder guys, even we are present here-----" said Arnav as they both came out of the reverie standing on their feet looking everywhere other then the three men and three ladies standing at the gate with a caught you look on their face.

"You guys are the weirdest couple, just a moment ago you were fighting and now---" trailed of Om and Shivaay faked a cough before speaking.

"I think we should leave now. Anika, Om, Mom and Dad have said or should I say ordered you guys to join us in the Lakshmi- Ganesha pooja tonight at our home once you are done in your apartment." With this he literally ran away picking up empty lunch boxes as Arnav and Rudra follwed him bidding bye to everyone.

"What?" asked Anika as now Mallika, Bhavya, Gauri and Om looked at her with a teasing smirk on their faces. "Nothing----just that someone's face is glowing so much this Diwali" teased Gauri to which Anika ran inside washroom excusing herself leaving everyone other chuckle at the adorable couple.

The eventful day full of Pooja, sweets and the loud sounds of fire crackers from all around came to an end by ten. Everyone sat in the Oberoi's hall chatting over various things. One could still hear the loud noises of crackers but then they will continue entire night in fact two or three nights.

"So Shivaay, Anika we have a small Diwali gift for you guys to be particular Om and Rudra have a gift for you guys because it was actually their idea!" Tej said interrupting the ongoing conversation after sharing a knowing look with others except Shivika and Bua.

Shivaay and Anika looked at Rudra and Om confused when both of them smiled before forwarding an envelope to Shivaay.

"What's this guys?" asked Shivaay as he started opening the envelope. Anika too looked at it curiously when Rudra replied "Just a small present for the world's bestest couple."

"Rudra, Om this?" asked Shivaay visibly surprised as both smiled while Anika still looked curious to know what's there is envelope. Comeon it's her gift as well!

"Actually after talking to Veer we guys decided that before you get posted to Lucknow we want you guys to get engaged here in Ranikhet. He had agreed so we thought to give you some time to spend with each other alone without any work or disturbance before we decide the date of engagement." said Tej.

"So to make it possible me Agent Rudra Singh Oberoi and my assistant Omakara Singh Oberoi oops I mean Omkara----heyy O what's your title?" asked Rudra to which Om rolled his eyes but before he could say something Rudra again started in his over dramatic voice.

"Anyway so we planned to give you a week vacation or you can say pre wedding honeymoon as well in one of my favorite tourist destination sight that is......" he said as everyone other than Shivika, Dadi and Bua screamed together.

"Bali!"

Anika looked at everyone suprised as well as shocked same was the case of Shivaay and Bua who was apparently not aware of it.

"Dad but----"Shivaay trailed of to which Tej interrupted him "I know you are worried about the patients don't worry Dr Desai is coming over Ranikhet Cantonment for a check over he would look after the patient and since the vacation starts next month you can deal with all the important patients by then. "

"And Anika you don't take tension about Sahil, we have discussed with him and he will stay with us in Shivaay's room till than, easy for him to have an access over all the books from Shivaay's collection he would require to prepare for his exams." said Jhanvi as Anika looked at Sahil who nodded smiling, happy that finally his sister is actually living for herself.

"But still if you guys don't have want to go then we can cancel it!" trailed of Tej with a fake dramatic sigh when Shivaay and Anika together let out a loud "No!"

Everyone except an offended Bua chuckled while Shivika looked here and there embarrassed. Well Anika can't miss this vacation especially since Bali is one of her favorite destination, she never got a chance to go out of India for vacation so this was like a dream come true especially with her Dr. Docuhebro.

"Tej Bhaisahab, how can you send these two alone that to when they aren't even married. I mean just think what would other say about us right mummyjii?" Roop focused her arrow toward Dadi very well aware of her dislike for Shivaay.

Tej and Rudra were highly annoyed but before they could say anything Dadi spoke up "They are mature enough to know right and wrong Roop. Let them get to know each other well, the society won't solve issues in their martial life due to lack of understanding. I know they would never do something that would bring a shame to us. I trust Anika and Bi---I mean I trust Anika!"

A huge silence followed this as Anika looked at Shivaay who was looking at his grandmother with some unshed tears while Dadi was showing like she doesn't care. Nobody missed that slight mistake in her speech.

"Okay so everything decided right?" Rudra interrupted lifting up the environment, Shivaay and Anika nodded in a yes smiling at each other.

"Yes and me, Gauri and Bhavya will get your bags packed Anika otherwise I know you would take only denim and shirt even on a vacation." said an over excited Mallika , Anika glared her for speaking like this infront of everyone not that this affected Mallika.

Shivaay bend a little toward Anika who was sitting beside him and asked in a low tone.

"All set for Bali Kohinoor?"
