Hi This is VHM aka Harika coming up with a new story / Fanfiction on Ishqbaaz. This will involve all the three couples . A subtle romance, thrill, accusations, support and family bonding. Get on a new ride with me and do support me.
Please ignore the grammatical and spelling mistakes…….Hope the readers would support me the same way as they have supported me till date…
‘’Mam…’’ …’’mam’’
‘’hmm…haan’’
‘’Should I call him in?’’
Annika TAM ‘’why did he come now? Why does he want to meet me now? When he had to make a …’’
‘’Jiji…’’ Gauri’s voice broke her reverie
‘’Mr.Saini….i want to talk to Jiji personally. If you can kindly excuse us’’
‘’Sure mam’’ saying Mr.Saini left confused as he wasn’t sure of what to answer SSO who was waiting outside.
‘’Gauri anything important?’’
‘’Yes jiji’’
‘’Hmm…tell me !!!’’
‘’Jiji …Shivaay Jiju/Bhayya is waiting outside I met him ‘’
‘’I know’’
‘’did you just say you know’’
‘’yes Chutki I know…Mr.Saini just informed me’’
‘’then what are you doing here…go and meet him’’
‘’Why? I mean what is the need to meet him’’
‘’Jiji…I can’t believe you are saying this…I just can’t believe’’
‘’I have changed Chutki…7 years back whatever has happened made me change ‘’
Gauri smiled
‘’Why are you smiling? Did I crack some joke?””
‘’Yes, the statement you made is just a joke. ‘’
Annika glares at Gauri, she wanted to be tough at that point
‘’Chutki you know let’s not discuss this. Please. I have to prepare for the meeting with Rana’s . it is scheduled and they have confirmed.’’
‘’Jiji today am not going to listen to you. Infact I want you to listen to my words.’’
Annika knew where the discussion was heading to, she wanted to avoid but she knew as a matter of fact that Gauri would not be leaving the topic , it was evident from her tone.
‘’Chutki , please..’’
‘’No Jiji…not today…when did you become so stone hearted? If you have forgotten let me remind you, It was Shivaay’s bhayya’s stubbornness and will power to get back your memory 7 years back. He has always valued you, he did everything for you, every damn thing…otherwise the THEN CEO , RICHEST BUSINESSMAN had no need to even remember…he loved you and had always been loving you and what are you doing with him? How can you forget his favors which he did only for the love he had?’’
‘’Chutki…I never forgot anything. You know this very well. Atleast don’t blame me like this’’ Annika almost said in a teary tone
‘’If you hadn’t then you would have not made him wait. You would have not thought of excuses to avoid meeting him’’
‘’Chutki..’’
‘’Did you get hurt jiji? Because of my words did you get hurt? Then imagine how he should be feeling without any mistake of his? ‘’
‘’You mean to say there was no mistake of him? you were present that day Chutki. Everything happened infront of you’’
‘’Yes, everything happened in front of me. But somewhere you were also wrong Jiji. Even if I convince myself to believe you were right that day and made a right decision, then I can very clearly say THAT YOU ARE WRONG TODAY. Our past was terrible, you suffered a lot but neither of Shivaay jiju/Om/Rudra and Prinku are at fault…they were also of almost same age of us then…’’
‘’I don’t want to hear anything more Chutki…please stop now’’
‘’I will stop jiji…but will you be able to stop that feeling and emotion that’s running through you now, which is flowing in the form of tears from your eyes now? All these years, I supported you, because you had an aim for a reason and I being your sister had to be with you…today you achieved your aim and you have no right to hurt Shivaay / Om / Rudra /Prinku further. Very soon they will be in the place where you wanted Oberois to be. Now please for God sake Jiji, leave the bitterness you have been holding since past. Neither you nor I can change whatever happened but we can change whatever will be going to happen.’’
Annika broke down completely, she was crying…may be the tears that she supressed since years came out with every sentence Gauri spoke
‘’I don’t want to comfort you now Jiji, because I cannot comfort you how much I try, it can be done only by him and I am calling him in. Please Jiji, talk to him, atleast ask him why he came to meet you, you and I are indebted to him for many reasons, for that sake keep away your this fake stubbornness and ego’’
Saying Gauri Left from the cabin. When she opened the door she found Shivaay standing . Gauri understood he listened to their conversation.
‘’Jiju..I…I am…’’ Gauri’s voice choked
‘’Don’t say or feel Sorry Gauri…infact I am sorry, because of me you had to talk to MY STUPID I mean Annika like that..i ..i am sorr..’’
‘’jiju please….please don’t embarrass me further…I am already ashamed of what Jiji did today …someone had to make her realise…someone had to let her suppressed emotions flow out. 7 years Jiju, 7 years she had supressed these tears, let them flow Jiju and yes ‘’ Gauri wiped her tears taking a pause ‘’Please don’t leave from here without talking to her…She needs you Jiju, once again she needs you and I know only you can comfort her. Will you please forgive her and take care of her’’ she folded her hands
Shivaay hugged Gauri lovingly as a brother and assured her that he will talk to Annika. Gauri left from there with a sad smile.
——–In Annika’s cabin
‘’Can…Can I come in Ms.Annika Harshavaradhan Trivedi ?’’
Annika realised he was already there, she quickly stood up and tried wiping her tears looking at him
‘’Please sit Shiv…I mean please take your seat Mr.Shivaay Singh Oberoi’’
‘’I think the former was better’’
She smiled badly and thought
Annika TAM ‘’Gone are those days KHADOOS. My Khadoos !! I wish I never regained my memory’’
Shivaay coughed to bring Annika back to present.
‘’You wanted to meet me Shiv I mean Mr.Oberoi’’
Shivaay’s heart pierced everytime she addressed him as Mr.Oberoi or Mr.Shivaay Singh Oberoi
‘’Mmm..Yeah…’’
‘’So…why did you want to meet me?’’
Shivaay TAM ‘’Why did I come here? What reason should I give now? My feet brought me here as if my heart gave the signals to my feet to take this path ignoring the fact that My brain should give the commands to my feet. What shall I talk to her now?’’
‘’Mr.Oberoi….’’
‘’hmm…yeah’’
‘’Where are you lost?’’
‘’No..nowhere’’
‘’so tell me why are you here?’’
‘’STUPID…I mean Ms.Annika Shivaay Singh Oberoi ‘’ he stopped at once
‘’Sorry, I mean Ms.Annika Harshavardhan Trivedi …’’
‘’you can call me Ms.Annika’’
‘’Fine Ms.Annika….i just came here to know, why do you want to meet Rana’s?’’
‘’Excuse me’’
Shivaay looked on
‘’It’s my personal issue Mr.Oberoi and I don’t think there is any need to answer this question for you. And if this is the sole reason of your coming, I suppose You..’’ she stopped
‘’You suppose I must leave..is this what you were trying to say’’
Annika kept calm
‘’Fine I will leave…I know you now don’t want my presence around you, I know now I am nothing to you, but what to do, I can explain every part of my body that this is the reality , this is the truth , but my HEART, my heart fails to listen and accept. To be honest, I don’t exactly know why I came here all of a sudden, why without my knowledge I landed in your cabin. But I will try, I will try not to come into your life anymore..i will definitely try’’
Annika and Shivaay both had tears as Shivaay tone was tearing her heart and piercing it the same way it was the case with Shivaay
‘’Shivaay please’’ Annika couldn’t control anymore
‘’Please What Ms.Annika. You are now a Successful BusinessWoman, rich, intelligent, beautiful, hardworking….so no need to say please…now I aint rich anymore, infact I have come on roads, see… the once SSO, who never walked on foot and used the best of cars and if required chopper, for whom the bigwigs used to wait for an appointment , today the same SSO is walking almost bare foot, nobody recognises him, he waits for an appointment of everyone….so you can just order me to GET OUT probably’’
”What do you mean Mr.Oberoi, that whatever we shared in the past was all because of your status, or because you were rich? Now, you are stamping me as a GOLD DIGGER, and that you Did come here to taunt and blame me for snatching away everything that was once yours”
”No…not at all….you are taking me wrong…i never meant so and you very well know this”
”i donno anything, i stopped understanding since 7 years , now i take only literal meanings and your words definitely mean what i said just now”
He pulled her near him and held her shoulders tight
”look at me Ms.Annika , look into my eyes and tell me, did i ever mean what you said ? to the matter of fact I have come here to appreciate you, congratulate you for all the success that you attained and achieved by your hardwork and intelligence and most importantly BEING HONEST, unlike …” he couldn’t talk further
Silence prevailed ….he left her and took steps back……..
‘’Will you not give me a treat or party for your success Ms.Annika?’’
‘’I have stopped celebrating any ocaasion since 7 years’’
‘’Why?’’
‘’Do you really donno why?’’
‘’No. I donno many things or rather I donno anything’’
Annika looked at him, this time she observed him from top to bottom , his condition made her miserable, guilt was slowly yet strongly overpowering her
‘’Shivaay I never wanted to put YOU/Om/Rudra/Prinku into any troubled state, my war was only with Mr.Tej Singh Oberoi ‘’
‘’who is apparently my bade papa !! Ms. Annika’’
‘’I was not even aware that you have named YOUR everything to him.’’
‘’How does it make a difference Ms.Annika….by the way i have not named MY EVERYTHING to him…MY EVERYTHING has left me 7 years before…Never turned back to know how I am , what is my state , am I alive or ‘’
‘’Shiv…Shut up…not a word more’’ she came near him and held his collar ‘’How dare you try to take the word DEATH from your mouth..How dare you say all those to me?’’
He held her hands which were holding his collars….
‘’You called me Shiv …that means you still …’’
Annika brought her hands back… ‘’Mr.Oberoi please, don’t make the situations difficult for me’’
Taking a deep sigh she composed herself and said ‘’You came here to know why I asked Rana’s to meet’’
Shivaay looked on
‘’I am gonna make the biggest deal of my life…something which is precious and somewhere my heart lies, there stays someone whom I love beyond a limit…where I can live a proper peaceful life’’
‘’what sort of deal is this? Are you ..’’ his throat was getting dry and his words were trembling while Annika looked on
‘’Are you going to marry Siddharth Vikram Rana? ‘’ he finally gathered courage and assembled the fumbling words
Annika looked at him ………….
