********Night..Anika’s room*******
Anika was standing on the balcony connected to her room..she saw Shivaay sitting on the rock front of the house chatting with Raju..
–there–
“Bhayya, why are you here? To get Akka?
“aur nehi tho kya..
“Par kyu?
He thinks for a sec.. “coz..umm..coz I’ve done so bad with her…so I’ve to blot that mistake..
“Nothing else?
“else what?”
“ strange..you just want Akka’s forgiveness..nothing more?
“Raju..thum janthi nehi ho Anika meri zindgi mein kya ho…no one knows..the moments that I had spent with her was the most joyful ones in my life…Raju, I’ve 2 brothers…Om & Rudy…I love them the most..if there is anyone else who can bring chances in this Shivaay Singh Oberoi, then that’s Anika…you know something, after her leaving ,I felt so heavy and I couldn’t do anything…it felt like 1000 knifes are stabbing me…it really hurt..but now…he closed his eyes and sighed out which flew back on his face by the cold breeze..his hair were dancing with that…I feel ease.. I JUST WANT HER FOREVER………
Anika dropped a tear and ran inside…she lied on the bed facing the roof…tear dripped down from the corner of her eyes…she felt a hand caressing her forehead…she opened her eyes and got the sight of gauri..she sat near to Anika
“yennachu Akka? (what happened Akka?)
“naan yenna sollu? (what will I say?) gauri..gauri I don’t know what should I do now..I don’t have any idea..Shivaay is here to take me back…he is guilty for what happened…but Appa..don’t know what black magic has captured his mind…gauri..what should I do now? I can’t let Shivaay do all these just for me..
“Akka..relax..everything will be fine..you know how Appa is..if he is not accepting him then there has to be something..
“I know Gauri..but..but what? What is stopping him? Aur Shivaay..he is so stubborn that not even listening to me…what if..what if something happens to him? Will Appa do something to him? Gauri…will..will he do something? I can’t bear it gauri…she said with cracking voice..
“Akka chill…nothing will happen to him…my bade bhayya is not weak enough to break so easily…I know Appa won’t bear him here…but Shivaay bhayya ki thadi k samne yeh tho kuch bhi nehi hai…so just chill…she succeeded in making Anika smile…later they hug each other and gauri went to her room and offed to sleep..Anika peeped through the window and saw Shivaay already slept hugging Raju that too outside in that cold climate without any blanket…Anika watched that view with teary eyes and she laid down on the floor and slept…
*******Raja’s room*******
“Everything got failed.. we didn’t even expect that Shivaay will come here…now what Anne? “said Raghav looking Raja who was lost in deep thoughts..
“Anne, say something.. Anne, you could have stopped Ramu..”
“nehi Raghav..rather than us it’s only Ramu who knows all the secret..but years before I’ve made him believe that everything has ended…but little did he know that it hadn’t.. Now he is happy with his family..he has suffered a lot..not more..and you know very well that I can’t deny his words and specially of the villagers…they have the equal right on Anu…
“then what should we do Raja? “ asked Gayathri being nervous…
“let him stay here…we’ll see till where this will go..” Raja said
“but what if HE get to know about this? It was to make Shivaay away from Anika, that we brought Anika back as per HIS orders…but now Shivaay himself has arrived here…what will we do? “ Raghav was restless now…
“Shall we tell everything to Shivaay? “ suggested Gayathri
“NO…” Shivaay shouldn’t get to know about all these..he is a young man…let him live his life…we should never ever let Shivaay know anything..
“but Anne, Gayathri Akka has a point..as Shivaay is a well reputed business man, he can help us…he can do anything for Anu..”
“No Raghav….I don’t want to put Shivaay’s life in danger…leave this topic for now…tomorrow is Sunday..we have to go early Raghav…and Sahil will come tomorrow…he is coming after a long time…they greeted each other and offed to sleep…
********Next day******
It was 8.00 am…Raja and Raghav have left early morning…Gayathri and gauri had gone for temple as it was Sunday coz Sunday is a special day for the villagers…the sound of conch was spread all over the village which gave a traditional touch…the bells of temple and ruffling by the wind…Ramu along with other farmers had gone for cultivation…Raju was already awake and he went to freshen himself…the whole people was busy with this and that but surprisingly Shivaay was still sleeping there on the rock..may be bcoz of the cold climate and new place..even Anika was still sleeping on the floor..
Shivaay slowly opened his eyes..he heard sound of water no it wasn’t that..something else..he felt hot breaths on his face whereas everywhere were cold…his eyes were dizzy but he gained complete consciousness soon…he opened his eyes widely and that was it…
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA………………………….”
Anika heard this…she woke up with a jerk
“Shivaay? Shivaay ki aawaz…God what happened? “ she stood and went down without wasting a second…
–There—
Shivaay stood from there moving the cow straight in front of him..he touched his hair and felt so sticky and watery…Rejini came out with pan in her hand while Raju came from behind with brush in his white mouth…just then Anika too arrived…
“Shivaay what happened? Are you ok? Kya…her words got killed by Shivaay’s condition…
Anika and Raju looked each other silently and bursted into laughter..
“BBHAHAHHHAHHHAAAHAHAAAA….” They both laughed pressing their stomach..soon Rejini also joined..
“now don’t tell me this thing has licked my hair..” he said touching his hair..
“sorry to say Shivaay, but it did lick…” Anika controlled her laugh but went vain…
“I think it licked your hair thinking that it is grass…thank God it didn’t eat it…wait did it eat?” saying this Raju gave hi-fi to Anika and laughed more..
“No way Raju..it’ll never eat it…if it had eaten then by now the cow was supposed to fell unconscious…” Anika laughed out loud…Shivaay, till now who was angry, became happy seeing Anika’s old smile…
“ Shivaay, I had told you to sleep inside…what was the need to sleep here?” Rejini said pulling the cow by its coir to the manger…Anika and Raju were still laughing…Shivaay being irritated went near tap and washed his hair…Raju still laughing went to have bath leaving Anika there still trying hard to control…Shivaay wiped off the water droplets in his face by his hand and walked towards Anika..now Shivaay was way too close to Anika…by now her laugh turned stopped…his vicinity was making her take heavy breaths..he held her hand and twisted it back..she got more close to his face…
“bhohuth hasi aa raha hai thujhe??” he asked in a husky voice…Anika got shivers by this…Shivaay looked into her eyes and shook his head resulting the water droplets fall on Anika’s face…the rising sun was gleaming between these both…water dripped from his hair and fell on her lips…both were lost in each other’s eyes..
“BEEP…BEEP…BEEP…”
The sound of an old ambassador car disturbed them…Anika got out from his clutches and felt embarrass…
“SAHIL! !!!!! ! ! !!……” Raju screamed from behind and ran to the car…Anika got shock and turn to the car…there Sahil was descending from the car with his helping stick…Anika was happy beyond borders…she ran to him and kneeled before to hug him tightly…but our Sahil didn’t reciprocate the hug….
“Sahillllll……….kaise ho thum?…she broke the hug…she cups his face… oops ,today is Sunday..God..how can I forget that? Sorry Sahil..I didn’t prepare anything..sorry Sahil..she grabs her eyes with a puppy face..Sahil with an angry face looked Anika folding his hands..
“Aap muhjse pyaar nehi kartha..hai na?”
“kyu? Kisne kaha thujhse? “
“ I heard it how you married a man without informing me…” he said angrily..Shivaay was watching this bro-sis antics..
“umm…voh Sahil..situation was such that I couldn’t…sorry yaar…apni Akka ko maph karde..
“Raju say something, if a sis got married without informing her bro, then how will he feel?
“tho Raju, say something, if a bro didn’t call or had concern for his sis for a month, then how will she feel? At least he could send a msg..
“Raju, us sis ne apni bro ko bhi koi msg nehi bheja tho?
“Raju, tho voh sis se pooch saktha hai ki kyu nehi kiya msg…but where? As this bro is so stubborn, he’ll never ask..just comes and scold the sis…not fair…Raju was looking both of them like a pendulum according to their convo..
“Arrey stop it both of you…my neck is paining and…and why you both are asking me? Asking to each other na… “ said Raju rubbing his neck…
Anika and Sahil looked him and smiled from their anger..
“teek hai..teek hai…now don’t make me cry…this is for the last time..if you do such things again then I will never talk to you…” said Sahil in fed up tone
“Achha baba teek hai…now give your Akka a hug…they both laughed and hugged each other…Shivaay smiled to this..
“HAWWW…..hey Sankar ji…what am I seeing? these both are having emotional hug without me? Hey mahadev…I never thought that this day also I’ll have to see…” came the loud voice from gauri from behind with her hands on her head…
“dramebazz…stop your drama otherwise the moment will finish now..” Anika mocked her an gauri ran smiling and kneeled down to hug the both…now Anika was in the middle with Sahil and gauri ,left and right…they both cuddled into Anika…
“tho mai?” said Raju with lips curved down…
“Do we need to give you any invitation?? Come yaar…” gauri stretched her hand and Raju got into those…
“umm…Sahil..now it’s becoming awkward…”Anika said and they broke the hug laughing…
“tho Akka, what have you brought for me?” Sahil asked excitedly..
“Sahil, I forgot that you’re coming so..so I don’t have anything yaar..so sorry..
“koi nehi..it’s all over spread that you Akka is a useless one…no worries..your choti Akka will make hot super-duper paneer butter masala for you…what say?” gauri said mocking Anika..Sahil and Raju jumped out of happiness..
“one sec..one sec..what do you mean that I’m useless? Huh? She suddenly sneezed hardly..
“you don’t have to argue Akka..”..
“you’re saying this coz you know how to cook which I don’t know… right? “ she sneezed again…”so today, I’ll make food for Sahil..and that’s done..” she intake air roughly..
“Akka, you got cold? “ asked Raju with heavy concern..
“voh sab chod..now just watch I’ll cook..” she said and took 5 steps and gazed Shivaay who was watching all this with a cute smile…she signaled to Sahil and pleaded through her eyes..Shivaay smiled back and closed his eyes in assurance..she left with satisfaction…Sahil saw Shivaay and went near him..
*******A dark place********
“Sir, we’ve got to know that Raja has brought Anika ma’am back to the village…”..the person who was sitting in a easy-chair quivering stopped it and laughed out loud…
“hha..that’s it…this is what I wanted..Anika is now away from Shivaay…good going..
“umm…sir..voh…we..we have also got to know that Shivaay…Shivaay…
“Shivaay what??
“voh Sir, he..he is also there in village to get Anika ma’am back..
“WHAAATTTTT????????…….how can she do that???..she has to pay for that..ithni saal ..ithni saal maine uske lie jo kiya, voh sab mai bekhar nehi hone dengi…never…just…just..just…just…do something and make Anika away from Shivaay…I..I want her..only I…if needed KILL HER….if she can’t be mine, then no one will make her ,own…” HE was totally out of control and was completely mad….
*****Village*****
Sahil went near Shivaay..he looked up and signaled him to come down..Shivaay sat on his kneel..
“you are Akka’s husband, right?” asked Sahil folding his hands…
“not only that, even I’m your jiju…”
“naam?”
“hai…he stretched his hand…Shivaay…Shivaay Singh Oberoi…”
“hmm..Sahil..Sahil Rajarai..but I have only two but you have three…
“huh? What?”
“I mean I’m Sahil Rajarai…but you’re Shivaay Singh Oberoi…I’ve only two name, but you have three…
“OH…I thought something else…umm..so do one thing..make it Sahil Raja Rai…now isn’t it three?
“wow…you’re as smart as I am…nice..well Akka has chosen a good jiju for me..but what are you and Akka doing here? You are supposed to be in Mumbai right now…what happened?”
“that’s a big story yaar..sit first you go and change…,go freshen up and then we can talk…aur patha nehi what will Akka be doing right now…Shivaay smiled hearing the name and suddenly the expression changed and “hecheeeee” that’s it..Shivaay also got cold..
“kamaal hai..first Akka, now you..kithna matching-matching hai na? said Raju giving hi-fi to Sahil…
“urgg…seems like my nose got closed..I even can’t breath properly..” said Shivaay breathing hard
“even Akka have this..actually what’s wrong?” Sahil asked
Shivaay “I think it’s bcoz of the sudden climate change..in Mumbai climate is different…so by coming here it got different…that’s why both we got cold…”
********kitchen..*******
Kitchen was in the back of house connecting to the hall…There was a work area connected to it…Anika went there and took the pan but was confused what to do next…
Anika’s POV
God! What to do next? Bhohuth bade bhashan de rahi dhi na thum Anika…now what happened?? Urggg…and this cold is more than that…heee…heee…heee hecheeeeeqq……humm…Paneer butter masala…target on…
End of POV
She took paneer and other necessary things…she took pan and stayed there for few mins..just then the idea of internet clicked on her mind..she took phone and typed what she needed…the proceedings of making appeared…she followed just like how it says…but as she was new to all these, her every moves happened after a trial…
“huff…now the preparations are over…let’s see what will happen now…she offed the stove and opened the pan…the steam overrode her face..she smelled it and expressed the worst expression ever…
“ewww…. How ridiculous? If Sahil eats it then he’s dead…God what will I do now? Will do one thing..I’ll chuck this and prepare something else…she took the pan and moved opposite..
Suddenly a man came from back door and walked staggering..he went to the stove and without making any noise he turned the stove on and went out…the gas spread all over without any delay..as Anika was having cold she couldn’t smell it…she cleaned the pan and stood back to prepare food..she took the lighter and moved to light the stove…
—-Meanwhile, Raju’s house..—-
Raju and Shivaay were talking about random things and were playing teasing each other…Suddely Raju smelled hard and got doubt..
“Bhayya, some different type of smell is coming isn’t it?
“Huh? Is it? I can’t smell properly yaar..” Shivaay said ignoring the matter..Raju smelled more and eyes bulged…
“Bhayyaaaaa….this is smell of GAS…!!! ! !!!!!! !
“What?? Gas? But kakki is out, right? “
“Bhayya, smell isn’t coming from home…”
“Then?? “….they both thought and….GOT IT!!!! !!
“ ANIKA../AKKA…”
both said together and rushed to her home…Shivaay reached the entrance but stopped remembering his promise to Raja…he stopped which surprised Raju….Shivaay ,without wasting a sec rushed to backside and entered the kitchen…he saw Anika’s hand moving to light the stove…
“ANIKAAA NO…” Shivaay screamed and caught her hand the right time.. Anika got shocked by this…
“Shivaay!!!!, what..what are you doing…she tried to ask but Shivaay was bust in turning off the stove…Anika was out of her sense seeing this…she looked Shivaay who was again and again checking gas…he closed his eyes and relaxed out…he looked Anika whose eyes were on him and held her by her shoulder…
‘’Anika, are you ok??…
Anika wasn’t on the world..
“urgg..Anika say something..ARE..YOU..O..K???” Shivaay shook her asking..Anika was back by this..
“huh? Haa.hha..mai..I’m fine…”
“Anika why can’t you be careful? Huh? what if something happens to you??” Shivaay asks with high concern…
“Shivaay…Shivaay I didn’t do that..I remember how I offed the stove I swear..
“So you mean to say that this was on by it’s own? C’mon Anika…he took the pan from her hand and took the necessary things to make paneer butter masala…Anika noticed what he was taking and frowned her eye bros..
“Shivaay, one sec…don’t tell me that you’re gonna make the dish….”
“very sorry to say but I’m going to” said Shivaay cutting the paneer into pieces..
“Shivaay, I can do it by myself…” Anika argued trying tosteal the knife from him..but Shivaay being stubborn raised the knife for which Anika couldn’t reach…
“Anika..I told you, I’ll make..so be a good girl and obey my words…” Shivaay said pointing the knife towards her…Anika didn’t say anything and kept watching Shivaay making the dish…Shivaay was playing with every thing even with potato and other vegetables..he played with Knife and Anika showed another knife to him ordering to put it down… Shivaay obeyed it being sad…Anika chuckled to this…Anika remembered how ShivOmru used to prepare food together..she looked Shivaay..
“Shivaay…
“hmm..”
“are you missing Omru?? “
“Shivaay’s hand got freeze and looked straight..and few sec later continued..he hummed as an answer..
‘’if you are missing them much then you…you can go..”
“and what if they ask me where is their bhabhi, then what will I answer them?”..Anika didn’t say anything but look down…just then a thing clicked his mind which came out the next sec..
“Anika, say me one thing, why do you want me to go back? “ Anika’s eyes got big and looked his green eyes..
“voh..I..umm..”
“don’t you want me to be here? Like..you really don’t like me here?”
Anika didn’t know what to answer..she opened her mouth but as she doesn’t had any answer, she closed it right away..she was in a total mess..how will she say that she was dying each second to meet him..how will she say that she was forced to do all these as Raja has threatened her..how..how will she explain to him that if anything happens to him bcoz of her then lifelong she can’t forgive herself…how will she say that she has only Shivaay in this world upon whom she can trust and spent her dream with..how will she say that she is doing all these to protect him, as he has only seen one side of her father but not the other one which is a horrifying one..
“I’m doing all these with a reason..and..and you..you’ll get to know why very soon..”..Shivaay understood that something is wrong but polished his mind soon as he decided that he will find the reason soon….
“well ,the food is ready…have it…he took a houseful spoon of masala one and was about to feed Anika…but he stopped and looked into her eyes which were already fixed on his..
“umm.. I’ll eat…” Anika tried to avoid eye contact..Shivaay felt embarrassment…
“Will WE get something to eat?? “ came a sarcastic tone from gauSahju from behind…Shivika got shock and Shivaay tried to scoot away….
“haan…haan.kakki I’m coming…” Shivaay played an act to scoot away…
“arrey…bhayya..no one has called you… I didn’t hear anything..” Raju played back..
“hey, they called me..how will you hear it..stupid fellow..”Shivaay ran from there the next moment…
Gauri laughed to this while her eyes followed the path from where the tasty aroma was coming…
“Akka, she went near to stove, wow, bhayya ne tho kamaal kar diya…what an aroma…she said taking the vapors in..”
“Akka, serve it fast..” Sahil got excited so as Raju..Anika smiled and served it to them..they enjoyed the ffod and commented on each flavors..Anika had a spoon and an unknown smiled captured her lips..she wiped it off soon..
“waise gauri, Rohit kaha hai? I didn’t see him anywhere..” asked Anika gulping a spoon..
“God..even I forgot to inform you..Rohit has gone to Andhra Pradesh along with chachi…”
“but why? “ came the next from Anika..”
“donno Akka, Amma told that there are few problems..you know about land business and all…”
“but what’s the connection with Rohit of all these? He never used to get engaged in all these..”
“Appa sent him..may be out of profit..” gauri answered eating..Raju who was hearing all this went to thoughts..
Raju’s POV
Wow…how can I forget Rohit bhayya? He and Akka are good old friends and moreover he is Raja uncle’s nephew…so Akka’s and Rohit’s relation is gonna make Shivaay bhayya so hot !!!…Oh Rohit bhayya, please come fast.. I’m dying to watch a jealous SSO..
