CHAPTER-25
JASOOSI MISSION!
Priyanka---- ANIKA??! (her face shows how much shocked she is)
Anika turned as she heard some familiar tone say her name.
Anika---- PRIYANKA?!? (she gets up from her chair and is equally shocked)
No one speaks as AniPri just looks at each other, too shocked to react while everyone else is left confused. AniPri stares at each other blindly and the very next instant, they both hug each other with bright smiles on their faces.
Anika---- Prinku? Kaisi hai tu? (she said pulling away but still holding her hands)
Priyanka---- Mai bilkul badia! Tu bata Anii! Tu kaisi hai? Aur kya chal raha hai aaj kar? (she said smile not leaving her face)
Everyone looks at AnIPri and then at each other's faces getting more and more confused by every passing second. But they all noticed Anika was calling Priyanka 'Prinku' and Priyanka calling her 'Anii', it was evident that they were close but HOW? Shivaay interrupted AniPri as they started talking.
Shivaay---- Ek minute! TUM DONO EK DUSRE KO JAANTE KAISE HO?!? (he asked with a confused expression which was shared by all)
Anika---- Aree... Kaise nahi janenge? Priyanka was my best friend in shcool! (she said with a smile)
Priyanka---- WAS? Itni jaldi bhul gayi na tu mujhe! (she said in a fake angry tone)
Anika---- Mera vo matlab nahi tha Prinku! You are still my best friend. (she said defending herself)
Priyanka---- Main teri taang kheech rahi thi Anii! Itni serious mat ho! ( she giggled)
Anika---- Tu kabhi nahi sudhar sakti! (she also chuckled)
Om---- Tum dono ek school mai the? How is it possible? (he said not believing them)
Priyanka---- Aree Bhaiya, yaad hai jab papa apna business expand karne ke liye Delhi ruke the lagbhag 4-5 saalo ke liye, aur main unhi ke saath hi to thi, that's when I met Anika. She was my first friend there and we got along really well. (she said remembering old days)
Anika---- Lekin jab tu chali gayi thi na, tab maine tughe bahot miss kiya! (she said with a sad smile on her face)
Priyanka also smiled.
Priyanka---- Vaise tu yaha kya kar rahi hai? Aur tujhe mera ghar kaise pata chala? (she asked curiously)
Anika---- Kya? Ye tera ghar hai matlab ki.. (she turned to ShivOmRu)
Om---- Matlab ki Prinku hamari behen hai!
Anika---- Behen? Mujhe aaj tak ye baat kisi ne batai kyo nahi? (she said looking at Shivaay in particular)
Before Shivaay could reply, Ridra interrupted.
Rudra---- Agar friendship reunion ho gaya ho to ab mai khana kha lu? Mujhe bahot bhuk lag rahi hai! (he smiled sheepishly and began to eat his food)
Rest also took their seats and had breakfast while AniPri talked nonstop.
Priyanka---- Vaise tune Mumbai nahi dekha na.. Bahot sundar sheher hai! (she said while eating her food)
Anika---- Haa suna to bahot hai aur vaise bhi Om aur Ishana ne mujhe kaha tha ki vo mujhe Mumbai ka ek tour denge! (she said while looking at ISHKARA, and they coughed)
The moment Anika said this IshSidOmRu looked at each other and exchanged meaningful look.
Anika---- Tum dono mujhe Mumbai ghumaoge na?
Om---- Umm.. Vo... Vo.. (he fumbled)
Ishana---- Aree... Vo kya hai na ki... Actually, main aur Om ek art exhibition mai jaa rahe hai.. (she covered up)
Anika---- Art exhibition? Kal raat to ham yaha aye the aur aaj hi tum log art exhibition ke liye jaa rahe ho?(she asked in a interrogating them)
Ishana---- Haa.. Vo, Om ke favourite artist ki exhibition hai na. (Anika didn't seem satisfied so, Ishana continued) To isliye vo ye miss nahi karna chahta. Am I right Om? (she linked her arm with Om and looked at him questioningly)
Om moved his head in negative, denying what Ishana said but spoke a 'Yes'. His expressions and words didn't match. Everyone got confused and then gave him 'Are you nuts?' look and then he smiled awkwardly.
Anika---- Koi baat nahi, Sid mujhe Mumbai tour dega! (her gaze turned towards Sid who was stuffing his mouth with food)
Sid---- Actually, main na bahot thaka hua hu, to mera aaj pure din sone ka plan. So, sorry, Anika! (he then diverted whole his attention towards food)
Anika---- Rudra? Tum... (before she could even complete her sentence, Rudra interrupted)
Rudra---- Sorry, Anika di! Vo aaj mujhe apne ek school project ke liye apne dost ke ghar jana hai! So, I am very busy! Sorry. (he hid his grin)
Anika looked upset and disappointed and Shivaay took notice of that. Priyanka thought of offering her to show around the city. But the moment she opened her mouth, Rudra who was sitting beside her, pressed her left leg by keeping his right leg on it.
Priyanka---- Ouch! (she flinched)
Everyone looked at Priyanka and she smiled to brush off the topic. Then, she turned to Rudra and glared at him.
Priyanka---- Mera paer kyo dabaya? (she asked in a whisper)
Rudra---- Kyonki tum Anika di ko Mumbai ghumane ka offer dene wali thi! (he also whispered)
Priyanka---- To? (she looked confused)
Rudra---- Vo abhi tumhe thodi der mai pata chal jayega! Abhi chup raho!
After giving another glare to him, she turned towards her food. After sometime, everyone was nearly finished having the breakfast. That's when Shivaay cleared his throat as if he wanted to say something.
Shivaay---- Umm.. Paanika? (Anika looked at him) You know... Ki agar tum chaho... to, I can give you the city tour. (he said looking at Anika after finishing his food and keeping his fork and knife aside)
Anika---- Sach mai?(she asked excitedly with hope in her eyes)
Shivaay nodded and hid his smile on seeing her excitement.
Shivaay---- But you have 15 minutes to get ready! Meet me outside the mansion.
On hearing this, Anika hurried towards her room, leaving her breakfast and Shivaay smiled. IshSidOmRu and even Dadi grinned at Shivaay, making him confused. But he ignored it and left. IshSidOm and Dadi also left leaving PriRu alone. Priyanka turned to Rudra with a confused expression.
Priyanka---- Ab tu mujhe kuch batayega? (she demanded explanation)
He fed her with every information and even showed the YouTube videos. He also told her that IshSid are the ones who made this channel. "MY BEST FRIEND AND MY BROTHER!!?", she thought. At first, Priyanka was surprised but later she liked this idea.
Priyanka---- Oh! iska matlab... (she said making a serious expression)
Rudra---- Kiska matlab? (he asked confused)
Priyanka---- Aree... Iska matlab hua ki my best friend is going to be my future bhabhi! (she literally jumped with excitement)
Rudra---- Aisa hi kuch samjhle! (he laughed at her elder sister's childish behaviour)
Priyanka---- Oh! Mere dimaag mai na ek idea aya hai!
Rudra---- Kaisa idea?
Priyanka---- Bas tu ab dekhta jaa! (she kept her hand on Rudra's shoulder and smirked)
Rudra----- Ye to bata de tu karne kya wali hai! (he asked keenly)
Priyanka---- Bas itna samajh le ki HAM KUCH TOOFANI KARNE WALE HAI! (she said grinning to him)
Rudra---- HAM? (he asked with a frightened expression)
Priyanka---- Haa, Ham! Aur tu chal mere saath!
Rudra---- Nahiii!
She started dragging him against his whimpers and complaints.
...
Time is 10:37 AM. Shivaay is outside the mansion, leaning onto a black BMW, wearing his goggles and looking at time after every second. Anika came running from the door, wearing a fancy big hat and a basket in her hands, she stood in front of Shivaay with a smiling face.
Shivaay---- You are 2 minutes late! (he said showing her his watch)
Anika---- To 2 minute mai kaunsi apki train nikal jayegi!
Shivaay---- Acha ye choddo, tum ye batao, what is inside it? (he said pointing the basket)
Anika---- Areee... Isme hamara LUNCH hai!
Shivaay---- Lunch? Don't tell me ki ye lunch tumne banaya hai!
Anika---- Nahi, maine nahi banaya! Ishana ne pack kar ke diya!
Shivaay---- Thank God! (he heaved a sigh of relief)
Anika---- Agar mai banati to kya ho jata? (she said with slight anger visible in her tone)
Shivaay---- To ye lunch khaane layak nahi hota na! Kyonki tumhe khaana banana to aata hi nahi hai!
Anika---- Aisa kisne kaha? Mujhe... khaana banana ataa hai.. vo.. vo bhi ache se! (her voice was a little shaky)
Shivaay---- Shayad tum hi ne mujhse kaha tha ki tumhe Aloo Poori ke alava, kuch aur banana nahi aata! Yaad aya kuch?
Anika---- Haa... Vo... vo to...
Shivaay---- Tum rehne hi do! Ham late ho rahe hai! Chalna chahiye.
Shivaay opened the gate of the car for Anika and she sat down. Shivaay then took his driving seat and started the car. They rod in silence for sometime and as Anika was, she got bored easily.
Anika---- Main FM chala rahi hu. (after saying this in a authorising voice, she turned on FM)
Shivaay---- Oh! How nice of you to ASK THAT! (he said with a forced smile)
Anika---- Ab aap ladai shuru karke mera mood kharab mat ki jiye! (she gave him an annoyed look)
Shivaay glared at her but kept quiet because he too didn't want to start a fight on such a lovely day. He didn't wanted to spoil both of their moods but just enjoy today, together. After like 40 minutes drive, Shivaay stopped the car and got out of it, Anika followed his action. The moment she stepped out, she could see a huge old structure in front of her eyes. It looked liked some majestic monument. The structure was built in yellow basalt and indissoluble concrete. She could see lots of people roaming around, talking to each other, eating snacks and taking selfies. Different types of food stalls were settled up. It seemed like a picnic spot. Shivaay looked at Anika's amazed expressions.
Shivaay----- So, here's our first stop! The Gateway of India, also called as The Taj Mahal of Mumbai!
Anika---- Wah! Mumbai ke paas bhi khudka Taj Mahal hai! (she said to herself, making amazed expression)
Shivaay started walking forward with Anika beside him. He told her the historical significance of the place and they walked together, talking. The weather was good and light wind was blowing. Anika's hair was blowing lightly as she talked about something random. Unaware to her that instead of paying attention to her talks, Shivaay was busy starring. He himself didn't know why but he just couldn't focus on whatever she was saying, the only thing he could focus on was her expressions while she talked, her hand movements and how beautiful and happy she looked right now. Shivaay felt something unknown fill his heart. He was feeling something strange inside him. He couldn't comprehend what it was but this feeling for sure brought warmth and calmness alongside. He was feeling light headed and he felt... happy actually, a lot happy. Anika found Shivaay lost in his thoughts, seeing this she stopped talking and turned towards Shivaay. She waved his hands in front of his eyes.
Anika---- Kaha kho gaye, Billu ji? (she asked with a confused expression)
Shivaay---- Kahi nahi... vo bas aise hi... (he came out of his thoughts)
Anika---- Chalo koi baat nahi, haa mai kaha thi? Yaad aya! Maine abhi kaha na ki vo mere padosi Gupta ji... (she started walking again and blabbering)
She didn't saw that water was spilled in front of her and her leg slipped. She closed her eyes in fear of falling down but a pair of hands prevented her from falling down. Shivaay's one hand was on waist and the other just below the neck while Anika's hands rested on his shoulders for support. Shivaay looked at Anika closely, her beautiful facial features. She looked just like an angel. Anika didn't feel hitting the ground and sighed with relief thinking she was safe. She opened one of her eyes and then the other one cautiously. She found Shivaay holding her tight. His eyes looked as charming as ever. Anika completely lost herself in it. Same was the case with Shivaay, her hazel brown eyes looked so attractive and deep that he drowned in them. So, here they stood, in a public place and in between hundreds of people but still they felt like no one was there, it was just the two of them.
[BACKGROUND TUNE:
Ishq hai aansu ishq hai naghma
Ishq sukoon hai raahat hai
Ishq hai sehra ishq hai dariya
Ishq junoon hai zahmat hai
O jaana... ]
(Imagine SHIVIKA new version tune still playing in the background)
For just a moment, the world around them faded away. And for just a moment, they were lost somewhere, in the paradise of their own, where only they were present and no one else. Shivaay made her stand properly, not breaking the eyelock. They were still holding each other. Their bodies were so close and Anika could feel Shivaay's breath on her face. Her breathing got hitched and Shivaay himself was getting affected.
Anika---- Aapne mujhe bacha liya.. (she said in a whisper because of all the proximity)
Shivaay---- I will always protect you...(he said it barely audible but Anika heard it as they were standing so close)
And she looked deep into his eyes, trying to figure out if what she heard was true or she just assumed himsaying that. SHIVIKA were so lost in each other that they didn't notice that someone was following them from the start and was making their videos and taking pictures of them. The man was wearing a black hat, black goggles, black gloves and even black clothes. He was holding a DSLR camera standing at a distance and recording everything. Some other person was also there with the man. And she was wearing a black top, black jeans, black hat and black goggles. They were in ALL BLACK OUTFIT and it looked like they were on some secret mission and were probably spying. And it was none other than PriRu! Priyanka was standing behind Rudra who was hiding behind a pillar.
Priyanka---- Thoda close up se photo le na! (she ordered him)
Rudra---- Tu shaant reh! Pehle to zabardasti mujhe yaha lekar ayi! Aur ab orders de rahi hai!
Priyanka---- To tujhe maza nahi aa raha kya? Aur jab maine tughe kaha ki ham ek JASOOSI MISSION par jaa rahe hai to mujhse zyada to tu excited tha! (she argued)
Rudra---- Haa... Vo alag baat hai! Mujhe to bahot mazaa aa raha hai, Shivaay bhaiya aur Anika di ki baate record karne mai sach mai mazaa hi aa gaya! (he said excitedly)
Priyanka---- Chup reh! Aur unki vedio aur photos le! Yaad hai na ki ye sab hame Sid aur Ishana ko deni hai?
Rudra---- Ha! Ha Thik hai! Tu shaanti rakhegi ab? (he said in annoyed tone, receiving a glare from Priyanka)
A little while later, SHIVIKA came back to the real world. Anika lifted her hands from Shivaay's shoulder embarrassingly while Shivaay also removed his hands from her waist and they looked in apposite direction, getting slightly awkward.
Shivaay---- Vaise agar tumne ache se dekh liya ho... To ham chale?
Anika nodded and they went back to the car and departed for their next stop.
Rudra---- Aree... Vo log to jaa rahe hai!
Priyanka---- To phir jaldi chalo!
They both ran to reach towards their car and started following SHIVIKA from safe distance.
