Ishq sukoon hai

[Annika - A, Shivaay - S, Rudra - Ru, Gauri - G]

Shivaay couldn't take his eyes off Annika. Rudra had to shake him to pull him out of his reverie.

Om: Annika, how are you feeling? Does it hurt a lot?

A: I'm fine Om, Rudra I didn't even ask, did you get hurt?

Ru: I'm fine didi, you saved us.

S: You, you were disguised as choti daadi. Did you guys know?

Ru: yes bhaiyya

S: I didn't even recognise you. You gave me so many clues, all those conversations, the head massage. I always felt a connection with choti daadi but i couldn't figure it out

A: Honestly, I expected you to put the pieces together days ago, when I told everyone my husband's name. Don't you remember when you came up with that name?

S: Ohhh oh how could I forget, Diljit the waiter!

Ru: What's this all about? I thought the name was random

Shivaay took her in his embrace. He was happy after days, his smile resurfaced after so long, not the fake one he put on in front of everyone, but the one that reached his eyes. He cupped her face and kissed her forehead.

S: But why are you here Annika? Why did you come here as choti daadi?

A: I knew you were in trouble, i had to find out for myself

S: even after everything i said that day

A: Yes

Shivaay had tears in his eyes, he couldn't believe this woman, who loved him so much, who came to help him even after he broke her heart, who didn't care about her own life and saved him.

Annika pulled herself out of his hold. Shivaay was overwhelmed with his love for Annika.

Om: I'll finish up the formalities

A: Rudy, can you hold your front camera, i have to put the wig back on

Rudra helped Annika get back in disguise, Shivaay walked out of the room to get the medicines. Soon they returned home. Om and Annika got out of the car

Ru: bhaiyya, Annika didi knows all about Rupali, she came up with that seduction plan. Win her back bhaiyya, you won't find someone like her again. She really loves you unconditionally, true ishqbaazi like daadi says.

At night, Shivaay went to her room. She was still in her wig, with her ipad in her hand

S: Did you take your medicines?

A: Yeah, I did. Did you talk to her today?

S: Yes, Rudra told me it was your idea. How are you doing this? How are you okay with this?

A: Because this is the only option we have

S: How did you know?

A: You gave it away, you wore that shirt

S: What if there was no condition? What would you have done if your hunch was wrong and this was all genuine?

A: I would have returned right away, left you in peace
