“I was waiting for you”-Jhanvi met Annika in her room, she had kept her promise of respect and followed Gouri.
“Nothing much…I just thought for our introduction”- Annika smiled politely,” Gouri leave us alone for sometime”.
“Ji bhaujai…”- Gouri used Bareilly language.
“You means cosister right!!-” Annika cleared her confusion.
“Haan wohi”- Gouri answered,” hum aate hai…”.
“What shall I address you as”- Annika asked Jhanvi.
“Kyun…Tumhari Badi Mummy nahi hoon main??!!”- Jhanvi caressed her head softly,” Shivaay calls me Badi Mummy and I think you are his wife and maintains every relation clearly”.
“Ok..I thought you will not like me calling you that”- Annika frowned.
“You are right..I will not like to be your Badi Maa”- Jhanvi sat straight on bed,” I will love it”.
“I heard you have joined our business back, so I was thinking if we could help each other”- Annika proposed.
“A deal!!”- Jhanvi got happy,” For Oberoi family…”.
“Right!!”- Annika start to leave,” For our Oberoi family”.
“You have to teach me basic of business and I will bring Bade Papa back to you…”- Annika cleared,”let me know if you want to sign this deal with me…iss baare mein ek baar sochiyega”.
“There is nothing to think. I think you have to learn basic of business as the sole property holder of Oberoi group companies and I need Tej back because not for me or my childrens but because Mummyji wanted all family togetherness always”- Jhnavi cleared her faunda.
“Waise I was thinking …to keep a party for this..tonight”- Jhanvi tag with Annika.
“For our deal, but its a secret between us”- Annika got her doubt.
“For your marriage reception”- Jhanvi laughed at the girl’s innocence.
********************************
“Oh pati parmeswar..I am so sorry…I forgot to give your Saira baano today”- Annika irritated her Bhagad Billa.
“I know you did not..I was not expecting your coffee at all”- Shivaay gave angry look,” Oberoi property ke maalkin mujhe subah subah coffee degi, I never thought also”.
She was trying to pull his leg, irritate him but he just pulled her entire anger out.
“But I wanted to make it for you…”- Annika closed her eyes to control her anger…She don’t have any habit to break mobiles or any other things to calm it down,” Aap har mahine kitne lenge for working in office”.
“kisses!!”- Shivaay smirked,” I don’t think you will be able to give me”, after a pause,” my salary!!”.
“You heartless..shameless…dirty fellow”- Annika kept on cursing him,” aap kp sharm nahi aati aise baat karte hue ek ladki se…”.
“I am very good boy Annika, a shy one too”- Shivaay got his idea a hit of irritating her,” but you are my legally wedded wife aur tumhare saamne kya shame… kyun Annika will you give me salary on daily basis or per month??”.
“You chantumai Billu”- Annika walked hurriedly from every corner of the room,” where is my Chameli, I will give it at your face”.
“Wo sister hai tumhari..Cha..cham..whatever..”- Shivaay continued.
“Abhi pata chal jaayega”- Annika keeps her searching on,” Kahan gayi meri Chameli abhi toh usse dekha tha, par kahan dekha tha yaad nehi aaraha hai”.
“Let me help in searching Annika..I didn’t see any girl in entire Oberoi mansion till now, I mean not any unknown one..”- Shivaay, the volunteer joined ,” explain me about the sister of Chantumai…Chameli”.
“My slipper…My footwear…”- Annika smiled, a mich michi creating smile.
“What!!! A foot wear, Chameli..I thought..ek minute meri face par maarne ki plan cancel karo , I will search your Chameli for you”.
“Achchha thik hai…”- Annika said,” pinky promise”.
Suddenly Shivaay lifted Annika and put her on bad, right in front of mirror,” Milagayi meri Chikni Chameli!!!”.
“Cheppda…I will really hit you, slap you on your cheeks, both cheeks and I will…”.
“Shut up damn you…I am not a characterless gold digger..”- Shivaay shocked her,” See your foot in mirror or in real, Your that whatever cheap foot wear is in your feet only. I am not any cheap man like, you act like one, behaving like one..and accusing me”.
“I thought…”- Annika turned sad at his anger…She knee she deserve it still It just…leave him and finish your work soon Annika.
“And listen, You have challenged Shivaay Singh Oberoi, This is the biggest mistake you commit in your life”- Shivaay left, banging the door hardly,” I thought she is a good girl but she just pointed finger at my character”.
“My team is after you Annika, soon I will expose you with your motives and show you your real place”- SSO ran his fingers through his think hairs.
********************************
“Rudra…”- Annika met her chote devar on her way down stair.
“Are you calling me”- Rudra gave him funny smile,” Jab se aap iss ghar mein aayi ha, I was waiting ki when will my bhabhi talk with me. Huh!! Thank God now you spare sometimes for me. Iss bhai par aap ne..”.
“I never thought our first conversation will be like this”- Annika patted his back,” any way we will be staying in the same house..We will rock it with craziness”.
“Maza aayega bhabhi…”- Rudra hummed his song,” Bye bhabhi, I am going out for some work now”.
“Isse kaun si important kaam aagaya??”- Annika left wondering,” I too. Meeting Omkara Singh Oberoi is important work as per my information”.
“Oh lambe baal wala prani is in his room”- Rudra informed,” Gouri bhabhi too”.
” Ok Rudy..Will talk later with you…”- Annika left.
“Yeah yeah yeah…. Annika bhabhi talk nice with me…”- Rudra too left singing his tuneless song.
********************************
“What the hell!!”- Shivaay shouted, nothing new about his anger, just murder of a new smart phone,” Dadi ne aisa kiya…wo bhi apni marzi se. I thought this Annika has did something with Dadi, warna Dadi toh hum teeno bhai se kitna pyaar karti hai…achanak se yeh sab. whatever locate my Daadi soon”.
His team of detectives left. Annika , Dadi and….His kanji eyes roam around all incidents.
“Annika come to your office soon”- Shivaay thought,” I have to confront you…”.
********************************
“Omkara Singh Oberoi”- Annika knocked the door,” can I come in?”…
“Its Om”- The cool boy smiled,” Annika bhabhi”.
” I am meeting every one in this house personally”- Annika smiled,” You are Omkara Singh Oberoi, tum maano yaa na mano, yehi sach hai…Hope you will not insult the surname Shivaay adores the most. He loves you and Rudra the most. I have seen it and felt it”.
“I don’t the show up, using family name, this all”- Om put emotions in to words,” pata nahi kyun achchha nahi lagta hai…”.
“Jo achchha lagta hai aur jo karna padta hai insaan ko..farm hota hai”- Annika beat the philosopher,” par karna padta hai..shayad iska naam zindegi hai…”.
Annika didn’t take much time from Omkara, just saw few painting, a few white granite or clay statues,”Nice works Lambe baal wala prani, I like those”.
“Alright, main try karunga”- Om agreed.
“I will take your leave now…”- Annika got introduced with all by now,” Accepting truth is life..living with faults and learning is life…. You are mature enough”.
“Gouri kahan hai…”- Annika asked.
“Terrace…”- Omkara have the news at least.
