My Destination: Cafe Coffee Day- Chapter 9 by Jerry

As soon as the words girlfriend and Anika escaped Shivaay’s mouth, Rudra and Om spoke “Oh My Maata” simultaneously as Pinky. Both his brothers were standing at the door and were invading the mother- son privacy. They decided to listen the whole conversation.

Pinky had form a thin layer of water in her eyes. She spoke “Shivaay beta am I not important to you to tell all these things with me. I kept asking but I always gained a negative response, why so beta ? Do I not love you ? Or will I not respect your choice ?” She kept weeping. He hugged her mother tight and apologized to the god for keeping him in this situation and telling her mom a lie. Had he not told his mother that he had a girlfriend she would make him marry and that he didn’t want. At least not now.

He kissed his mother’s forehead and said “I am sorry Mom. My intention was not to hurt you. It all happened in just a few days. Sorry mom, I don’t like the tears in your eyes and they are because of me. I am really sorry Mom.” Pinky nodded in negation and said “Okay I will not cry and yesss I am very angry with you but for how much time. I forgive you my bachha. I also liked Anika and was going to ask you about her only. Chalk now let me go ! I have to do the preparations.”

Shivaay did not knew what he said. They had barely started their friendship and he admitted her as his girlfriend. He was really messed up. He was thinking what to do next when his brothers gently paced into the room. Shivaay asked “You both here….?” Rudra spoke “We were thinking of a punishment to give you. You hided such a big thing. You broke the Obro code, bhaiya.” Shivaay was shocked that they too knew “You both were eavesdropping,no. This is wrong you should not….” “And what you did is right Shivaay ? Hiding such a big matter from us….” Om spoke. “Woh…actually….I ” “But bhaiya I am very happy that you chose Anika di. I really like her and at least someone will be like me in the house. Cool !” He exclaimed while hugging him forgetting all the anger. Om too joined the hug. “Obro Moment are the best” shivaay thought kissing the heads of his brothers.

“Okay bhaiya so that you are in a relationship I will teach you some basic points. Listen carefully.” Rudra became the teacher. Shivaay nodded and om giggled at his situation.
“First of all never tell a girl, she is fat or else you are gone. Say to her everyday that she is beautiful and flirt with her. No matter what, they love these pamperings and as I know you are a very unromantic person let me tell you how to flirt.” Rudra spoke.

He took out his phone and called on the number Vanshika. “Hey Vanshika what’s up baby. Are your legs aching too much ?” He pretended to be full of concern. Shivaay and om were clueless of what their baby brother was saying but they decided to listen. “No rudra. Why did you asked ?” Vanshika questioned from the other side. “Woh actually you were running in my mind since I woke up, so thought to ask.” Rudra said. “Oh love you shoo much shona, you are too cute.” Vanshika replied admiring him. “Love you too. Okay bye. Will meet you in the college” he ended the call. “You saw ?” He asked his brother who’s jaw had dropped. They both thought he is such a dramebaaz. Rudra was flicking his hair when from the corner of her eyes he saw Saumya. “Oh shit” he muttered. He thought “she must have misunderstood” as he saw her running fast towards her room. He excused him saying he has to complete his assignment and went. Om too went to attend a call regarding his work. Shivaay heaved a sigh of releif and headed towards Anika’s house.

He reached there and rang the bell. After some time a boy with crutches opened the door and asked “Who ?” “Shivaay Singh Oberoi” he answered softly. “I want to meet Anika. Is she there ?” “No she has gone to CCD.” “Ohh okay” he completely forgot about that. He was going when he stopped and turned towards the little boy. He bent down and asked “you are his brother, no ?” “Yesss ” he replied cheerfully. “Can I ask you a question?” He inquired. “Hmmm” he gave a not interested look. “Does your di have a boyfriend.” He spoke nervously. “And why do I have to tell you this ?” His sweet reply made him admire the little piece of cuteness more. “I am his best friend.” Shivaay spoke, doubtful thou. “oh so you are SSO. I know about you. Anika di has told me about you. Kanji Ankhon Vale Bagad Bills.” He giggled. “Now tell me.” He tried to control himself. “When a person who has went through so much in life, faced pain and betrayal, it takes only a extraordinary thing or a person to make her believe in love, make her feel wanted and no one has yet taken that initiative.” He wondered the child to be mature at such an age. Exotic. Shivaay ruffled his hair and headed towards his destination Cafe Coffee Day.

As he the door opened he heard some gossips about Anika. ” You know what, tomorrow I got a scolding from the boss. If Anika ma’am had been there she would have saved me.” “And Yess you know what she have got scolded because of you. She is really adorable. I wish I could be like her.” The two waiters continued chatting as Shivaay moved ahead smiling at her down to wards nature. He spotted her doing something in her mind. May be calculations. He waved at her and she too smiled. She opened her palm to indicate five minutes with a incredibly cute face. He again smiled and sat on the last table waiting for her to come.

She came after 10 minutes and muttered an apology. He accepted thou his time did not went in vain, he was staring at her all through out guessing how could some one be so selfless, beautiful, humorous and intelligent at the same time. Anika glanced at him and then the other side to talk about something saying she’ll come in some time. She then looked there and there. He blewed over her eyelids to blow away the tear, she had. She closed her eyes in response. He wondered what happened and made a mental note to ask her some other time. He went close to her ear and said “Will you be my Girlfriend ?” She opened her eyes and it seemed they will pop out any moment. She said “What ?” “Will you pretend to be my girlfriend Anika ?” She was shocked and don’t know what to reply. She said “If I say no….” “You know Anika there was a Saint Relaswami ? You know he always taught us that we should help others and if we are friends then the word ‘not’ should not be in the dictionary. I think you should imply this in you life.” He stopped waiting for her to speak. “But….” She couldn’t complete “Please. I am really stuck. I need help. You will not be in trouble.

I will make sure of that. My mom wants grandchildren…” “What ?” She again spoked mouth open. “I mean…she want my marriage and till I find some one can you be the one.” He closed her mouth. After a lot of convincing she said “Okay. But my work…..” You can do it simultaneously. I will tell my mom about it.” He said. “But I have one condition.” She said “What?” He asked. “You have to do whatever I want. I mean even if I ask you to wake up at 3 to do anything.” She said mischievously. “Okay” he wondered what she’ll ask. They had a fist bump. “Deal” they said.
