Shivaay was highly worried by the time he reached back to Ranikhet. He just left his bag in the hall, in his home and taking the gift he ordered for his Kohinoor on Raksha bandhan he left to meet her. She wasn't picking up his calls from last two days, everytime he call her she would either the sleeping or on work. All she did was reply to his messages in monosyllabic words!

Something was off and he was now really worried for her so without even changing or drinking water he rushed to her home not bothering that it was eight in night!

Until he doesn't see her in front of his eyes he won't be calmed!

Anyway he had dearly missed her in this one week. Not seeing her, or feeling her presence around had left him tormented and he was dreading that now when he wasn't able to live a single week without her how will he live when he would probably be posted to another place!

He reached to her apartment and rang the bell but nobody opened the door, this made him more worried.

"Anika.....Anika...you there?" he yelled and got more worried when he didn't receive any response "Sahil..... Mallika anyone there?" again he didn't get any response. He checked the door knob and it was open, this literally freaked him out.

Taking a deep breath he entered the apartment only to find it dark, he called for everyone once again but nobody responded. He searched for the switch box and turned on the lights only to find the entire hall decorated with there pictures of various events. From there Ranikhet trip to Nanital the entire hall showcased all the memories.

His eyes fell on the center most picture and a huge smile came on his face seeing the picture he loves the most. The one clicked by Rudra where he was on his knees tying anklet across his Kohinoor's feet. He rubbed his thumb over Anika's face as the smile on his lips got more wide.

He then felt her presence and heard that sweet anklet sound, his favorite music. A relief full, spectral smile came on his face and he turned to greet her only to be awestruck by what he have only seen in his dreams.

There she stood in a black chiffon Saree with her silver anklet playing his favorite music. Her hands were filled with silver metal bangles that added yet another charming music in the beautiful atmosphere. She looked even more beautiful than what he had seen in his dreams and if this is still a dream he don't want to wake up!

A shy smile adorned her beautiful face as she walked toward him nervously, clearly new with the Saree. He just stared her too hypnotized to say a single thing. She was a goddess! His Goddess!

"Hello?" Anika called nervously looking him still staring her with wide eyes and gaping mouth. She closed his mouth with her index finger to which he gulped hard.

He was still staring her and this was making Anika self conscious. "Umm...am I looking awkward?" she asked him but he was too lost to actually hear what she is saying.

He pinched her nose as she frowned and a wide spectral smile came up on his face "O God! This is real, you are actually here in front of me that to as Anika Shivaay Singh Oberoi!!"

He literally jumped as he said that. Anika's cheeks turned red listening him. "Shivaay we are not married yet. I am here in Saree!" She said while fiddling with the edge of her Saree.

His smile fell as he made a disappointment face "O yes we are still not married. Why aren't we married Anika?" he asked with a sad pout and Anika found him extreme cute at this moment.

"I....i don't know Kohinoor what to say. I am now really doubting my vocabulary because I can't find a word to say how....how beautiful you are looking. At this moment all I can say is that I am living my dream and a part of my future with you. I am living a moment with my wife, Anika Shivaay Singh Oberoi!" he said honestly holding her hands.

He saw her holding something in his hand to which he raised his eyebrows. She held his hand and said in a low voice "I...I.. have something to say Shivaay. I want to thank you Shivaay. I want to thank you for loving me. I want to thank you for teaching me how to love." he froze at that point listening this.

He haven't expected this all of a sudden he thought that she did this because he wished for it, because she missed him. This was far beyond his expectations right now not that he was complaining how can he when he was waiting for this moment like forever.

"I never knew how does it feel to love someone who isn't blood related to you, to wish a forever with someone who you don't know since your birth but you taught me love is not based on timing and how long you know the person until you do know him completely. You didn't made me fall in love with you, you made me grow in love with you!"

She confessed as she opened the red box she was holding which contained a platinum gents ring with Shivika embedded on it similar to the one Shivaay got for Anika.

"You were right Shivaay everyone have their own perception of love and I have got mine. I can't spend a single minute without your thought at the back of my mind. Even the thought to live without you leave me tormented. I don't like sharing you and even the thought of someone else admiring you doesn't go well with me. Your compliment, your opinion for me matters a lot. Your smile makes my day. In a way my entire life revolves around you or to be particular you are my life. I love the way you make me feel special and spoil me. With you I forget every tension, every problem of my life. I be the real Anika, my mother's butterfly with you. With this I know I love you Shivaay.... Your Kohinoor loves you Dr. Douchebro."

Anika confessed by sitting on her knees forwarding the ring toward him looking at him with eyes full of love. He bend on his knees and keeping his hand on her chin, rubbed it tenderly and kissed her forehead as a lone tear escaped his spectral eyes!

"Why are you crying? Did I say something wrong? I am sorry I don't know...it just all in my mind I..." Anika kept on mumbling seeing his tear when Shivaay placed his palm on her lips and made her stand on her feet.

"Shh...I love you too Kohinoor. This moment means so much to me that I just got emotional....now kill a man for being emotional!"

He said chuckling, Anika smiled and hugged him tightly keeping her head on his chest as he wrapped his hands around her living the moment he was waiting for like forever. They stayed like this for God knows how much time.

Something clicked in Shivaay as he broke the hug cupping her face "You are not compromising right Anika? Nobody forced you right? You know I can wait for you till my last breath but I want no compromise with your life or happiness just for me. You can tell okay if you don't want it!"

Anika felt blessed to have this man and she jumped in his arms as tears sprinkled out of her eyes "I love you.. I love you so so so much!" she shouted to her capacity as he chuckled wrapping his strong arms around her petite waist.

"Now give me your hand I have to make you wear this ring!" she ordered and Shivaay raised an eyebrow "You know Kohinoor it's actually asked not ordered!" he said and Anika frowned before pulling his hand and pushing the ring into his finger.

"This is my way so now deal with it for all your life!" she said smirking as he fake saluted her "All set Madam!" She chuckled before bringing another box of ring and gave it to him.

"I got the ring you got me from Jhanvi Aunty so that you can make me wear it!" she said sheepishly to which he chuckled before making her wear the ring he got. His happiness knew no bounds finally she accepted him. She accepted him as his life partner.

He kissed her knuckles as she chuckled shyly and at this moment Shivaay felt he loved her all over again! She looks so adorable when she blush!

"By the way who tied your Saree?" Shivaay asked after a moment as they just sat down in each other's arms living their blissful moment. "What do you mean who tied?" Anika asked frowning but not looking into his eyes. He chuckled before lifting her chin with his index finger making her look into his eyes.

"You know Kohinoor I know that you don't know how to tie a Saree...if you knew you would have tied the day I wished it to you!" he said with his alluring smile and Anika pouted "I so hate you for knowing me so much. Okay Gauri tied the Saree!"

He chuckled more before pulling her close to him. "I have something for you." Shivaay said before taking out a red box from his inside pocket of the jacket he was wearing. Anika looked at him confused as he took out a dangling solitaire moon bracelete and passed it through her right hand, middle finger to her wrist.

Anika looked at the bracelet and she couldn't help but gasp. All the moons dangling held the same picture Rudra clicked in miniature form inside them and everytime the lights fall on them they shine to a brightest. One could only see the pictures from close otherwise they look like shiny silver moons. The solitaire held the inscription in beautiful calligraphy 'Dr Douchebro and his Kohinoor!'

"This is so beautiful Shivaay...but this must be very expensive I ca...."she stopped seeing Shivaay glaring her with his wide eyes as she chuckled scared "I can keep it, it's so beautiful see I am keeping ....it tha..nk you so much!" She ended kissing her own hands.

"Good for you!" he declared pulling her close as they stayed silent for yet another moment with Anika admiring her bracelete and Shivaay admiring her.

He then saw her fiddling with it lost in her thoughts "You are worried Anika, you want to share something?" he asked seeing her still lost in her thoughts fiddling with her Saree's end.

She looked toward him, placed her palm on his eyes and said in one go "I don't know why I am doing this but I am doing!"

Before Shivaay could grasp or digest her words he felt her lips on his and he literally froze!

She just touched it and brought it back, it wasn't even a peck but it made the cardiologist's heart beat with a speed of infinity!

"I am sorry I don't know why I did this. Mallika said you wish to kiss me but can't because you consider my happiness and comfort more important so I should kiss you but I know I shouldn't have kissed you. I am so sorry I.. I think I should go!" she stood up to runaway when Shivaay held her hand.

She didn't open her eyes as he stood right beside her with his palms sliding on her bare waist, she breathed heavily as she felt his lips just at her ears touching her earlobe.

"This isn't a kiss Kohinoor!" he spoke in a deep husky voice tracing his nose on the joint of her ear. Anika felt all her blood rushing inside her veins as his breath tingled across her skin. All she could do was let out a humm...

"You want to kiss me?" he asked in the same low, sexy voice this time making her look into his eyes, checking for a sense of discomfort. Anika didn't knew she nodded in positive as his right hand held her waist in a tight grip bending her towards the left.

"This is my kiss to my bestfriend!" he said as he kissed her forehead memorizing each of her nerves out there while Anika just held his collar totally lying herself into his grip.

"This is my kiss to my other half" he said as he planted a deep kiss on her cheek. Anika led out a breath as her hold on him tightened while his lips left an invisible yet strong mark over there.

"This is my kiss to my better half!" he said as he let out another soft yet passionate kiss on her other cheek making Anika's legs go jelly.

"and this is my kiss to my Soulmate, my Kohinoor!" he said as he stared into her eyes for a fraction of minute. It was that moment where nothing is spoken yet million words are exchanged.

Taking an acceptance from her eyes he placed his lips on hers. Tingles passed across there body and each hair stood straight. They just stayed like that for a minute with their lips attached, trying to memorize each cell present out there. Then their lips slowly moved into a synchronicity as if their souls danced together in the musical rhythm of love.

It was the feeling a person thirsty from eternity gets when fed from immortality! It was the feeling which a person get while taking the breath of life after nearly drowning in the water of death! It was blissful! It was surreal! It was heaven! It was magical! It was love!

The beautiful intimacy broke as they took heavy breaths and joined their forhead with closed eyes. Lips swollen and forehead joined with her hands around his collar while his around her waist. Their forhead joined, they looked into each other's eyes as their lips said the same words.

"I love you!"
