Relacion Eterna - OS

Shivaay stood infront of the mirror giving final touches to his hair while Anika chose out a good tie for him. She sighed as she picked through his ties.

Anika : Don't you even have one good tie to suit yourself ?? Inn sab tion ko dekhke michmichi hoti hai mujhe. And to tell that you were in London for a year

Shivaay : Paanika. Tion nahi hota hai. Ties hote hai. And what's wrong with those ties ?

Anika : What's wrong ?? Everything is wrong . Who wears poka-dot ties and ties with pictures ?? And those socks.. Those hideous things you call socks are actually fit to clean the kitchen. Aapko pata bhi hai ki tion hona kaisa chahye !!

Shivaay : Come on Anika. Your husband has returned from London today only. You don't want to kill him this moment.

Shivaay rolled his eyes. She had started one more of her never-ending baubles. How ever had he managed to warm up to her. Heck, he even had a dictionary to make out what she said in her language. He suddenly remembered something. His eyes widened. Anika had stopped her talk. She was looking at him now.

Shivaay : Where is..

Anika : Down.. With Rudra and Om. Ofcourse with Rudra and Om.

Shivaay : How did you know what I was going to ask ?

Anika : Four years of practice. Itna practice ho chukka hai ki bhul bhi nahi sakti, dhanyavaad to you, Baghad Billa. But I missed you a lot for one year.

Shivaay : I missed you too. I don't know how I had survived for one year without you.

Anika : No idea. But itna tho pata hai kii I missed you a lot. Happy Birthday Shivaay.

Shivaay : Thanku Anika. Thankyou so much for everything. For coming into my life. For making me understand the value of life and for giving me all the happiness.

Anika : Shivaay. Its ok.

Both joined their foreheads together. Shivaay cupped her cheek lovingly and put her hand atop the one on her cheek and leaned into the loving touch. It was a beautiful moment. None except two lovers finding their way into another journey to love and bliss. Shivaay brought his lips down to pull his wife in for a kiss. Anika blushed and moved in. And then there was a cough. Both broke out of the wonderful reverie and turned around to see Om standing slantingly against the door, arms folded and smirking at the couple. Anika blushed red and turned away elsewhere.

Shivaay : OM !! You've got the worst timing in the world. I don't have anymore degree more than worst. Unfortunately, worst is the superlative degree. Would you stop walking in on me and my wife !!!

Om : LOL.. You must have locked the dooe before getting into one of your lovey-dovey sessions. And I didn't do it on purpose.

Shivaay : But you anyway.

Om: Fine.. Next time, put up a board with big letters and a gun on top of these words Stay away !! Am romancing with my wife. Disturb us and get a shot with AK-47 free by me. Trust me.. No one will dare ever disturb you.

Shivaay rolled his eyes. He should have kept in mind Om and his humor. He missed his brother a lot. Whatever it was, he did miss him a lot and was happy to be back again. Om walked towards him and hugged Shivaay tightly.. Shivaay hugged him back.

Om : Happy Birthday, Shivaay.

Shivaay : Thankyou Om. I missed you so much.

Om : Me too Shivaay. Me too.

Anika cleared her throat from behind. Both turned to look at her shooting a mischievous smile at them. She looked at Om questioningly. Om looked back and remembered what he was here for in the first place.

Om : Shivaay, I need to tell you something.

Shivaay : Yup. Go ahead.

Om : You know I love Ganga very much, right ?

Shivaay : Ehh yes.

Om : So I was thinking if I could propose her on your birthday and declare her as my fiance infront of everybody.

Shivaay was stunned.. For a moment, he went still and stood like a statue. Anika looked at him skeptically and shook his arm gingerly.

Anika : Shivaay.. Shivaay.. Mr. Kanji Eyes ?? Baghad Billa !!!

Shivaay's face broke into a big smile and he hugged Om very tight. Om squinted his eyes since Shivaay was squeezing the life out of him while Anika stood wondering as to what had happened to her husband.

Om : Shivaay ! You are killing me..

Shivaay (breaking the hug) : Om.. Do you know how happy I am !! I have always wanted you to get married and start a life. Gosh !! You are 31. Am so happy you are getting married. And Ganga!! She completes you, Om. You both are just made for each other. I am so happy. Do go ahead.. It would be my birthday gift for me.

IN THE LIVING ROOM..

The living room was full of people. His birthday, it was afterall. His business associates had come. Tej was standing with his arm over Jhaanvi, laughing with his friends. His mother and father were greeting guests. Priyanka had come with her husband and her eight month old son, Vansh. But his eyes were searching for one person desperately. He wanted to see that one person.

Shivaay : Where is she ?

Anika : There.

Pointing towards a direction, Anika looked. Shivaay's eyes followed her finger and looked. There she was. Perched upon a table was a big chocolate cake and behind it sat a beautiful child with black thick hair, blue eyes and a beautiful smile.

Shivaay : Anshi...

He went towards the table and looked down at his two year old daughter.

Shivaay : Baby, dekho kaun aaya hai !!!

The child looked up at him from the cake and her eyes twinkled at the sight of him. Her mouth spread into a wide smile and she laughed cutely at him.

Anshi : Papa !!!

Shivaay : Baby !!

He scooped his daughter into his arms and held her close. He had missed his baby so much for one year. He cursed himself for missing his daughter's first steps, his daughter's first word and his daughter's first day at a photoshoot. Shivaay had ofcourse been furious at the idea of having his baby girl's photo been taken but his Badi Maa and mother had talked him into calming down. Anika had ofcourse sent him the video of her first steps and her first word but still being there was different. He had even punished his assistant into painting his cabin perfectly with grey and white for setting up meetings and not being there for a live view if his baby girl.

Anshi : Paapa..

Shivaay : Haan my Princess.

She offered the remains of the cake in her hand generously to him with those those blue eyes. Shivaay looked at her and took a small bite out of it. It tasted very sweet. Infact, it was sweetest for him. He heard a TCHING sound behind. Anika walked over to them with her arms crossed.

Anika : Anshi !! Kapde dekho. Gandhe go gaye.

Shivaay : Bachi hai.

Anika : Shivaay.. Bachi hai.. Mujhe bhi pata hai. Zyaada sar pe mat chaadhaana.

Anshi : Papa...Cake..

Anika : No Anshi. No more cake for you. Daant abhi abhi badh rahe hai.

Shivaay (whispering to Anshi) : Don't worry Princess. Let you mother go away to the guests. We both can eat yummy chocolate cake.

Anika : I heard that Shivaay. Don't spoil our daughter. Tum dono ne tho mujhe gundi bana dii.

Anshi : Gundi.. Gundi..

Shivaay : Fhat the whack Anika. Tumne meri Princess ko bhi apna language sikha dia !!!

Anika : Shivaay ! Ye whack duck sab idhar nahi.. And where is Rudra ?? Meine use choda tha Anshi ka khyaal rakhne keliye. Kaha gaayab ho gaya vo ?

Anshi : Rooo...

Rudra walked up to them. He was no longer the kid. Indeed he was a fine grown young man dressd up in a tee and jeans. He had become a fitness novelist and was famous for his advice on fitness. He hugged Shivaay.

Rudra : Happy Birthday Bhaiyya.

Shivaay : Thankyou Rudra. Ab bacha bada ho gaya lag raha hai.

Rudra : Bhaiyya No.. Mei hamesha aapke baby rahunga.

Om (walking up to them) : Aww.. Our little girl with six-pack abs !!

Anika slapped Rudra lightly on the shoulder. Rudra rubbed his arm faking an Ouch and turned to Anika.

Rudra : Anika Bhabs.. Why did you slap me ?

Anika : Meine tumhe Anshi ka khyaal rakhne boli thi. Aur tum use chodke chala gaya.

Shivaay : Haan Rudra. Agar vo gir gayi tho ?? Agar chot lag jaata tho. Koi use kidnap kar leta tho.

Om: That last part was totally uncalled for, Shivaay.

Anika : Haan Billu Ji. Vo tho chaahye nahi tha.

Rudra : O !! Bhaiyya abhi aise behave kar rahe hai. Aur jab Anshi ka boyfriend hoga aur shaadi hogi, tab kya bolenge ?

Om and Rudra hified each other and started snickering. Anika couldn't stop the smile tugging at the corner of her mouth. And Shivaay.. Well, he was staring at Om and Rudra and clutched Anshi even tighter.

Shivaay : Well. There's gonna be none of that.

Om : Kya ?

Shivaay : Agar koi ladke mere Princess kea as-pass bhi bhatka tho mei uso tukde tukde kaatke bhediyo ko khilaa dunga.

Anika's eyes almost bulged out. Om's mouth hung open while Rudra spit out the water when he heard this.

Anika : Ye aap kya keh rahe hai ??

Shivaay : Meine kya galat kaha ? Anshi boyfriend nahi rakh sakkti. Boys are so dangerous and their minds are always roaming around.

Om : Matlab, tu iski shaadi nahi karvaayega ?

Shivaay : Bilkul !!! Karaaunga.. But she's not allowed to date anyone until she reaches the age of 56.

Rudra : Bhaiyaa. Ye kuch zyaada nahi hai ??

Shivaay : Bilkul nahi. I won't let anyone hurt my baby girl.

Anika : Tho kya ye zindigi bhar kunwaari rahegi !! Mei apni pota-poti ko nahi dekh paaungi. Mummyji keh rahi thi unhe par pota-par poti dekhna tha.

Shivaay : Ok ok.. Shaadi kar sakti hai. But I will do a thorough checkup of the guy before letting him anywhere near my girl.

Rudra (to Om) : Bechaara ladka, jo bhi hai.

Om (snickering) : Chu pho jaa.

Shivaay : And bache ka baare me bole tho.. I don't mind my baby having kids. Its just how she makes them that's the problem.

Anika : Shivaay !!! Anshi teri god me hai.. Aise baatein kia mat karo yahaan !!

Shivaay : Fine.. Ok..

He hugged his daughter close and whispered,"I missed you so much, Princess".

Rudra : Bhaiyya. You weren't the only one who missed someone. Anika Bhabs missed you a lot too. Now kiss and make up. The last time I saw you kiss was a few years ago when she lost a Hide And Seek game and had to kiss tou.

Shivaay : Thanks but no thanks Rudra. We have something named decency.

Rudra : Bhaiyaa. Are you indirectly taunting O ?

They turned to see that Om was joined by Ganga a few steps away and he was kissing her nose lightly. Shivaay rolled his eyes. He turned back to his daughter who was sucking on her thumb now. They heard an announcement. It was Om up the stage with a mic.

Om : Hello everyone. First of all, let me take this opportunity to wish my brother a very very Happy Birthday. Shivaay, I love you. The reason I stand infront of you all is entirely different.

Kuch pal khoobsurat hote hai

Kuch pal mohabbat hote hai

Usi mohabbat ka nikaah karaane keliye

Aaya mei apni ishq ke saath...

Ganga... My Ganga.. You have been my strong support. Throughout the year while I was estranged, it was you that gave me the courage and strength to face the obstacles. You made me view obstacles as challenges and help me overcome them. Ganga, you are my soul, my breath, my everything. On this day, I bow down infront of you ask you Will you be mine forever !! Will you be my my better half !! Will you be the Om for my Kara !! Ganga looked in shock at him, hand covering her mouth with tears on her face. She was astounded. Anika and Sowmya came and pushed her over to Om. Rudra put his arm around Sowmya as she came back. Ganga looked at Om with awaiting eyes. Om looked at her intensely and bowed down.

Om : Ganga. I repeat my words again. These come straight from my heart and I don't mean to undo those strings. Will you be mine forever ?

Ganga : Yes..

Om : Ganga.. Will you be my better half ?

Ganga : Yes. I will, Om.

Om : Ganga.. Will you be the Om to my Kara ?

Ganga : Yes yes yes.. Om.. I will..

Omkara took the diamond studded ring. He took her fair, soft hand into his and slipped the ring onto her finger and ended it by kissing her hand.

Om : I love you, my Parvati.

Ganga : I love you, my Shiv.
