Shivay Pov
As soon as I remember her name from my dream I can't hold back myself. I went to secret room through the door behind my bookshelf. I completed the name under photo frame "ANIKA" with a huge smile. I'm really behaving crazy since last night. I can able too fell changes in myself. If the name itself made me such a crazy man, then what would be my craziness level after she stepped in to my life. Breaking my trance, I hear some one is knocking the door. I closed the secret room and left to open the door. There stood Khanna with phone in his hand. He said that, the team we hired went on search for all girls campus in Bangalore and found nearly 500 names that starts with ANI in 2nd year of there graduation. He asked me whats should be next instruction to them. I must really appreciate Khanna. Here I'm sleeping but he is on his duty and completed the task give by me with in 5 hours. I just smiled to him and said ' Ask them if in those 500 names they could find any "ANIKA" '. Khanna being shocked about how come I came to know about her name gave me a questioning look but didn't open his mouth to ask anything so just nodded and went to attend the call.
Now first thing I want to do is to share this news with Dadi. I went to my room to freshen up and moved to Dadi room. She is arranging some jewelries when I stepped inside.
Shivay : Dadi,Dadi what are you doing with these jewelry now? Ok leave it, You have to listen to me first.
Dadi : Billu, why are you shouting? I'm getting Old, but my ears are functioning pretty well. By the way you seems more happier than when you cracked Australian deal. What's matter?
Shivay : Aree Dadi Listen to me na first. I found her. Means not fully, but I'm close to her.
Dadi being shocked asked : What? You found her? really? When? Where? How is she?
Shivay interrupting Dadi said : Dadi hold on, hold on with your questions. Let me explain. Yesterday I came to know about her location and nick name. Today morning I got to know about her full name. She is fine and met with a small accident.
Dadi with tears of happiness in her eyes said : You came to know about her last night itself but didn't shared to me? Ok leave it now say me her name?
then reality striked Dadi's brain and her expression changed from happiness to worry and asked: Billu, you said accident? What accident? How is she now?
Shivay just gave a reassuring smile and said : She is fine now Dadi. Nothing to worry. Its just a minor accident. In-fact that accident is the reason I came to know about her location. She is leaving in Bangalore for studies.
Dadi : Thank god its just minor accident. What if it is-- ? No, No, No what I'm even thinking? Nothing should happen to her. I want to see her Billu. Take me to her. Bangalore is not so far, so I can travel.
Shivay : Sorry Dadi, I can't take you to her now. I just came to know about the city but not exact location. I'm on that work to find out. Once after getting proper details, I promise, I will take you to her.
Dadi just smiled a sad smile and said : Its all my Karma Billu. What I have done in past is my mistake. I agree. But Arjun is never going to forgive me. I'm sure about it. Making Ms Raizada as elder Bahu is your Dada's wish but I'm asking you for one more wish. Will you fulfill MY WISH?
Shivay holding her hands said : You should not ask Dadi. You should order. I'm very glad to fulfill your wish. Please speak up.
Dadi : I just Wish for Arjun's forgiveness wholeheartedly Billu. I Wish Arjun to forgive me, to forgive our family and especially to accept you as his brother with out any hatter. I Wish For HAppiness Forever in our Family.
Shivay : Dadi please don't say like this. What you have done in past is not a mistake. Its all just our helplessness. So don't think about forgiveness. I will make sure, Arjun to accept us as his family wholeheartedly. Please you don't cry. Its enough of crying. Please. Ok tell me now whats these jewelry?
Dadi : This is for your,Omkar, and Rudra's wives. I'm going to make them polish. Meanwhile you brought such a good news to me.
Shivay : Oh shit! How can I forgot Om? Dadi, I have to go to pick him. Bye bye..
After reaching the door, while closing the door back Shivay said: Dadi, won't you ask for her name?
Dadi just thought how come she forgot that? She is surprised by the news and forgot to ask for name.
Seeing his Dadi's reaction he smiled cheekily and said : Its Anika Singh Raizada.
Saying this Shivay left from Oberio mansion.

Raizada Mansion:
Anika Pov
I'm lying on the bed as sick patient. My legs got fractured, some blood losses, nothing else to get worry. But my family is treating me like I just got out from a major Cardiac Surgery. They are not even allowing me to eat food by my hands. They are feeding me as if I'm an infant. Oh God please let them understand I need movement. I accept I'm weak. But I can hold a spoon or a glass and eat my food ( nothing but a soup of multiple vegetables , milk and walnuts juice). Leela mom is preparing food and Kushi and Atarv Bhai is continuously feeding me. I'm full now. There is no space in my stomach. I just want to rome around the house. I know my legs are not in condition. But I can use wheel chair at-least right? They are placing me in wheel chair for washroom purpose only. Arjun bhai and Arnav bhai gave instructions to family and maids and left to work. I'm very frustrated now and about to outburst. One side my thoughts of newly found family. Other side this over-protective and caring family.
I thought twise to ask my brothers or not about Sinha's and Agarwala. At last I came to a decision that first I need to find out more about Sinha's family and my past. Then only I'm going to revel to my brothers about Our cousins. I came out of my thoughts when Kushi is pinching my hand to gain my attention. I being frustrated shouted"What?" To which she is trying to say something with her eyes,but I failed in garbing her intentions. By this time Atarv bhai got our signs and asked what's the matter.
I too joined bhai and asked Kushi " Stop signing Kushi. I'm not able to get your point. So speak it up. There's nothing that Atarv Bhai doesn't know."
Now Kushi being out of control shouted: "Really Ani? Do he knows about Mouni Di?I think Due to accident your brain is damaged severely. That is why you forgot your Birthday is in 4 days. We need to start our preparation by now. Mouni Di just messaged me that she landed in airport. What should I do now? Me poor soul, should handle everything."
I face palmed myself for asking Kushi to speak up. I really forgot about Mouni Di and my plans on birthday because of sudden revelation of my unknowing family. I looked towards Atarv Bhai with puppy eyes. But he just glared me seriously. I used to share everything with him more than Arnav and Arjun Bhai.
Seeing My silence and fake smile Atarv Bhai asked seriously : "Care to explain?"
Anika : " Yes its high time you all should know about her. Let me call Arnav Bhai too. Kushi please don't let Leela mom come inside. I can't handle all at a time. we will speak to Arjun bhai, Leela mom and Kumar uncle at once ok?"
Kushi just nodded and went out side to cook some stories and make Leela mom busy. I called Arnav Bhai and asked him to come home asap, but don't let Arjun Bhai doubt . After 15 minutes---
Kushi came back and said : " Mom will not come for 1 hour. Its more than sufficient time."
Atarv : " what have you said Kushi? what would take mom 1 hour?"
Kushi smiling sheepishly said " I asked maa to prepare a veg soup as per doctor's prescription with broccoli, cabbage,carrot, cucumber, mushroom, radish, peas, potatoes, tomatoes, onions and last but our Ani's favorite jack fruit."
Immediately I shouted " Yuck,, Jack fruit in vegetable soup? Oh my god noway..."
Atarv and Kushi are laughing loudly holding there stomach. Anika is making faces as if she is going to throw-up.
Just then Arnav entered from the door but seeing Anika in those expressions and Kushi, Atarv laughing hysterically, he ran towards Anika Bed.
Arnav holding Anika with concern asked: "Are you ok Ani? Shall i take you to washroom? "
Listening to this Atarv and Kushi laughed even more and more. Arnav glared both of them making them silent.
Arnav :" What happen to you Atarv? I can understand Kushi is Mental patient from start. But how can you be so irresponsible?"
Atarv : "Its nothing as you thought bhai. Its just Anika is going to eat ---" with out completing his sentence he again started laughing.
Arnav looking at Atarv as 'he is impossible' look and asked Anika : "What happened Ani? Why they both are teasing you?"
Anika again making discrete faces said:" They are going to feed me vegetable soup again and that too with my favorite Jack fruit in it. They are going to spoil my favorite fruit."
Arnav signing in relief said:" Is it the reason you called me?"
Anika :" No Bhai, Its very important matter. We are running out of time. Let me speak. No more jokes ok?"
Atarv and Kushi stooped laughing and nodded. They also moved to the bed sitting close to Anika.
Anika: " Bhai you remember my birth day is in 4 more days."
Both Arnav and Atarv nodded their heads.
Anika : " Actually every year I'm asking for my wish on my Birthday. I actually planned to do the same this year also. But due to this accident I can't make all arrangements. Kushi alone can't do everything. So I'm going to ask from you both, MY WISH now itself."
Arnav and Atarv looked at each other and about to speak some thing but stopped by Anika.
Anika: "Bhai, I'm going to ask My Wish today itself. You both are not going to stop me. but we should keep it as a secret from Arjun Bhai. I'll ask him on my birthday."
Arnav: "Ok Ani, you can ask us now. But we are not going to grant you now. Arjun Bhai decision is important. We both will never go against him. So you have to wait for granting your wish till your Birthday baby."
Anika smirking said :" For My Wish this year you both will go against Arjun Bhai. Because its related to Bhai's happiness."
Atarv mind started working in bullet train speed and said "Oh god! Don't say what i'm thinking is what you are going to ask this year Ani."
Anika simled cheekily and nodded. Arnav is confused and asked Atarvv what's the matter.
Atarv over exited squealed in happiness: "AAawwww, Mouni Di, Birthday wish, Arjun Bhai happiness, wow Ani you are genius."
Arnav not understanding anything asked raising his voice " Care to explain me ?My mind lost its speed to catch you words"
Atarv jumped out of the bed and moved to Arnav side and back hugged him.
Atarv :" Bhai, Anika is speaking about Arjun Bhai's marriage. He is not accepting any match that Kumar uncle is showing. So Anika selected some one named Mouni for Arjun Bhai. If Ani is going to ask Arjun bhai to get married as her Birthday wish, th---"
Arnav interrupted Atarv and said " then he can't deny her wish. So Bhai will get married soon. Wow Ani you are soo cool yar." by praising her Arnav and Atarv hugged Anika in excitement. But due to her scratches all over her hands she winced in pain resulting both of them to leave her.
Arnav :" Sorry, sorry baby. But who is this girl you choose for bhai?"
Atarv :" Have you had her pic with you now?"
Kushi:" Yes we have. Wait its in my phone."
Arnav :"So, you are the one to see our would be Bhabi first than us?"
Kushi : " She will be my would be sister. So I had full rights to see her first."
Anika grabbing phone from Kushi's hand said enough of you both. She opened Mouni pics and showed to them. I'm going to show you. You are not allowed to touch the screen. Ok?
Arnav and Atarv nodded in agreement.
First pic is
after seeing the pic Arnav said :" wow she is beautiful."
Atarv said " Really Bhai, I'm not able to see it clerly. Ani zoom it."
After zooming
Atarv : "Beautiful is very less to describe. She is more than beautiful. I can't find words to describe her. Arjun Bhai will say yes with in first look itself."
Arnav :" No way Atarv, Bhai will find excuses. He will definitely say that she is very traditional out of fashion."
Anika :" I'm Anika Singh Raizada Bhai. never underestimate me. Look here"
Second pic shows
Anika : "What say now?"
Atarv :" She is both traditional and Fashionable. No negative point to raise."
Arnav : "Good but what if Bhai asks for Modern girl ?"
Anika searched in her phone:" Then have a look at this"
Third pic shows
Anika: "This much modern is sufficient? right bhai?"
Atarv's eyes bulged out and said " She is hot man"
Arnav smacked his head and said " Ani baby, Its for marriage yar. Bhai will get heart attack with this pic. a little bit less hot, I mean less modern."
Anika laughing said ok and showed next pic
Fourth pic shows
Atarv : " Arree yar she is looking hot in every picture. "
Arnav gulping water on side table said :" The 2nd pic is better than last two dear. you can send last two pics to Arjun bhai mobile personally. But to Leela maa and Kumar uncle you should show 1st or 2nd pics only ok?"
Anika and Kushi hified each other and laughed hysterically.
Anika controlling her laugh said: " So finally you both granted MY WISH."
Arjun and Arnav looked at each other and said in union " Its OUR WISH too"
Anika signed in relief and said " I Wish for This Happiness Forever God"
