"Anika Di...Anikaaa Diii...Guess what!", Saumya's super-excited voice shrieked over the phone.
"Kya hua?? Tu itni uchhal kyun rahi hai?", Anika asked while rolling her eyes.
"Bade bhaiya ne ek party rakhi hai" Saumya informed.
Anika pursed her lips to a thin line. "Billu ji ne party rakhi hai toh tu mujhe kyun bata rahi hai!!"
"Arey Di...aapko v aana hai iss party mein..." Saumya stated.
"Bilkul nhi...mujhe ghar pe bahut kaam hai...aur phir buaji v mujhe nhi jaane dengi..." Anika replied.
"Come on Anika Di...Bade bhaiya ne aaj sabse bada deal crack kiya hai...aur wo v sirf aapki wajah se possible ho paya hai..." Saumya said from the other end.
"Maine kuch nhi kiya hai...Billu ji ne apne dum pe sab kuch haasil kiya hai...", Anika was too humble.
"Bhaiya ne apne dum pe deal crack zarur kiya hai Anika Di, but agar aap time pe unke office pahunchkar unhe sahi presentation ki CD aur wo file nhi deti toh deal milna toh dur, uss galat CD k chalte unki market mein badnaami ho jaati", Rudra's voice was very clear.
"Rudra...tu!!! Aur kaun hai wahan? Om, tum v ho na?", Anika inquired.
"Yup...", was all that Om said.
"Par Di, Sumo jo bol rahi thi...aap ko v aana hai party mein...please Di, manaa matt karna...", Rudra made puppy eyes & childish voice to plead.
"Rudra...Anika ko tere puppy eyes nhi dikh rehe, so apna nautanki band kar", Om slapped Rudra lightly on his back.
Anika giggled at the brothers' usual behaviour, then after thinking for a few seconds, she asked, "Dadi, Tej aur Shakti uncle, Janhvi aur Pinky aunty, sab kahan hain? Badon ne party karne ki ijazat kaise de di...wo v itne raat ko!!! Kisine kuch kaha nhi?"
"Actually, Anika...party humare farmhouse mein hai...ghar pe nhi...& it's a whole night party", Om explained the fact.
"And one more thing, Anika Di...party mein girls are to wear short dresses...so aap jeans ya leggings ya long skirt matt pehenna,you will look out of the place...", Saumya informed.
"Kyaaa!!!!...Aaah...Mujhe na...bahut kaam hai...main kahin nhi jaa rahi...Baad mein baat karti hun", Anika uttered hurriedly & was about to hung up when Rudra interrupted, "Phone matt kaatna, Di...Ek baar meri baat maanlo...please aa jaao...dekho, main khud aapko lene jaaunga...aur wapas ghar chhodne v jaaunga...par aap please nhi aaogi matt bolo...aapke bina party adhuri hogi...aur phir bhaiya ka v mann nhi lagega..."
Anika pulled the phone away from her ear, as she listened to her childish dear brother, rant on and on about her joining the party. And something about him not leaveing her alone. Anika weighed her options in her head; go to a party where there will be lots of fun, or stay home and listen to Buaji's non-stop irritating taunts as Sahil's away in a school trip..
"Anika Di...please" chorused RuMya.
Anika came out of her thoughts and asked in defeat, "Accha thik hai...kitne baje aaoge tumlog mujhe lene?"
"Yippe! Anika Di aayengi...Anika Di aayengi", Rudra started his dance & Saumya smiled broadly.
"Main tumhare ghar par sharp 8:45 tak pahunch jaaunga...tum ready rehena..." Om ended the conversation.
Anika got up and somberly headed to her wardrobe to find something to wear. Partying like mad is one of Anika's specialty, but for some particular reason she just couldn't convince herself to go to this party. Her mind drifted off to some of the recent happenings in Oberoi Mansion whenever Shivaay is around her. She thought about his all new attitude towards her. He has been giving her some obvious signals which clearly stated the fact that he has fallen for her & the only thing that remains is the confession & after that...Anika didn't dare to think the other C word...She was afraid to meet the business tycoon...bcoz she very well knew that whatever Shivaay feels for her, it's the same as she feels for him...Trying to ignore those thoughts, Anika's brown eyes searched around the wardrobe and she frowned slightly. She hates wearing short dresses. But, now she has fallen head long into a trouble. Her hands searched for the right most dress to wear, and out came a 2 piece simple yet beautiful dress. She stared at the dress & remembered the sheer shock she got on her last birthday when Priyanka gifted her this dress. She knew that for today's party, only this dress will fit in. With hesitation in her heart, she got up & went towards her bathroom to change.
This is what Anika is wearing---
After returning from the bathroom, she stood in front of the one and only large mirror to adjust her breasts so that they were comfortable in the dress. She drew out a pair of white heels with long straps for tying around the ankle. She smiled slightly as she remembered it was a gift from Rudra. Then she slowly tied a simple pearl necklace around her neck. She set her hair in a bit messy bun with two bunches of curls hanging down from either sides of her forehead. After applying proper amount of eye-liner & lip gloss, she gave a sigh of relief as she felt she is done.
"Anika"
Anika came out from the bedroom as she heard Om.
"Hi Om..." Anika greeted.
Om stopped in his steps, & smiled at the beautifully dressed Anika, as he thought, "Aaj toh Shivaay ki band bajegi...You are going to love the party today, Shivaay"
Anika narrowed her eyes as Om's stare lasted for more than 10 seconds, "Kya???"
Om just shook his head & came near saying, "Thanks for accepting to join our party...You look gorgeous...I swear, aaj party mein sab tumhe hi dekhenge"
"Om!! Tum meri abhi se taang khinch rehe ho...!!! Mujhe aise dress mein ek ajeeb si michmichi ho rahi hai...Main kabhi aise dresses nhi pehenti..." Anika complained.
"Anika...believe me...you are carrying this dress perfectly...Aur tum itni ghabra kyun rahi ho...tumhare dono bhai honge tumhare saath...Promise...main aur Rudra tumhe akela nhi chhodenge..." Om assured.
"Tum toh aise baat kar rehe ho jaise wahan bahut saare log honge!!!", Anika's voice was suddenly nervous.
"Well...honge toh zarur...kyunki Shivaay aur mere kuch collge friends v aa rehe hain, & saath mein humare up close business associates jo ki humare generation k hain wo v honge...but no elders", Om revealed.
"Kya!!! Ye tumlogon ne mujhe phone pe kyun nhi bataya?", Anika was freaking out.
"Relax Anika...tum itna tension matt lo...hum sab honge wahan...aur tumhe agar bahut zyada odd lage toh bata dena, I will drop you home", Om made her understand.
Anika agreed at last & they drove off towards Oberoi farmhouse.
.

.
.
"Mujhe abbhi lagta hai ki mujhe wapas chale jaana chahiye..." Anika muttered as she and Om walked towards the entrance of the farmhouse. It was a large house, though not half the size of Oberoi mansion, with dark green shutters, and a sandal coloured door, the house itself was off-white.
"Hey Ishana...Saumya...Rudra..." Om called out & waved his hand.
Anika glared at Om for attracting everyone's attention towards them by calling IshRuMya loudly, but followed him nonetheless, while getting naughty & creepy comments from every guy around her. She bowed her head, and tried her best not to scream at them, it would only earn her more attention. She met up with Rudra, Ishana & Saumya.
"Wow Anika Di! You look sooo pretty!" Saumya commented.
"Thanks Saumya..." Anika smiled.
"Yeah, you look hot, Ani!" Ishana playfully elbowed Anika's side and she blushed.
"Shukriya, Ishu!" Her smile grew wider.
"Bhaiya toh aaj bas aapko hi dekhenge, Anika Di." Rudra teased.
Anika gave a chuckle without catching Rudra's comment properly, but as soon as she realised, she immediately turned serious. Om gave Rudra a stern look & scolded, "Shut up, Rudra"
Once inside, Anika's heart merely stopped at the sight of so many people. Guys and girls were both staring at her, and she could feel the heat rushing up to her face. She spotted Siddhart Vikram Rana & Mallika in the kitchen. She lowered her eyes to avoid the vulgar stares & walked through the sea of people to meet them.
"Mallika!" Anika called.
Said female turned around and she nearly choked on her drink, "ANIKA! Is that YOU!"
"Unfortunately..." Anika muttered smiling sheepishly.
"You look great!!! Tumhari language mein bolun to dhaasu lag rahi ho..." Mallika said with a big grin.
"Thanks..." Anika gave a shy smile.
"Ya...Mallika's right...Tum bahut sundar lag rahi ho, SSOO", Sid commented, stressing on the 'SSOO' part.
Anika beamed at him & took a seat next to Mallika.
"So...Shivaay se mili?" Mallika asked.
"Nhi...Billu ji kahin nhi dikhe..." came Anika's irritated answer.
Mallika flinched. "Let me guess, you guys are going through some denial session..."
"Deni...what!!??!" Anika gave a clueless expression.
"Iske kehene ka matlab, tum aur Shivaay ek dusre k liye jo feel karte ho wo apne dil mein hi chhupa rakkhe ho par unn feelings ko na khud accept kar paa rehe ho aur na ek dusre se confess kar paa rehe ho..." Sid provided an explanation.
Anika turned pink at these words as she remembered Shivaay's love gestures. She couldn't look straight & averted her eyes here & there while keeping her mouth shut. Mallika & Sid looked at each other smiling & continued with their drinks.
After about 35 mins, when Mallika & Sid left her side, Anika was joined by OmRu, who were already half-drunk. Anika chatted with the brothers, while trying to stop them from beating up the guys who walked up to her and tried to trick her into sleeping with them. She laughed a few times at all the pick up lines they came up with, and because how OmRu protected her from them.
"Rudra...mujhe washroom jaana hai...kahan hai washroom?" Anika tapped Rudra's hand to draw his attention.
"Chaliye Di...main aapko leke jaata hun", Rudra led her to the back of the house. Anika thanked him, and entered the large bathroom.
Anika stared at herself in the mirror and sighed softly. She looked up when she heard someone shouting and banging on the walls upstairs. She shook her head. "Mujhe yahan aana hi nhi chahiye tha...main jaakar Om se keheti hun ki mujhe ghar chhod de..." She told herself.
Anika fixed her dress and splashed some water on her face, mentally thanking herself for using waterproof makeup. She walked out of the bathroom and squeaked when a body randomly landed on top of hers.
"Oh... I'm so...rry...Sorry!"
"Ishana! Tu puri talli ho chuki hai! Na toh thik se bol paa rahi hai aur na thik se khadi ho paa rahi...!" Anika shouted over the music, supporting Ishana by holding her shoulders.
"Aaahhh...haah...haaa...Ya.", Ishana giggled in middle of her hiccups.
Anika rolled her eyes and carried Ishana around the house, trying to find somewhere to place her. The scene seemed to get more and more out of control. Everyone was throwing up in corners, or drinking, people were about ready to have sex on the counters, couches, and even on the floor. Anika made a mental note not to ever come to one of Shivaay's farmhouse parties again. She set Ishana down on the couch, and looked around for the host, Shivaay Singh Oberoi. For someone to throw a party, he sure liked to stay away from the limelight.
Anika crouched down to Ishana's height and said, "Ishu, main Billu ji ko dhundne jaa rahi hun...tu yahan thodi der baith main Om ko bhejti hun..."
"Main thik hun...You go find your man, Ani..." Ishana responded with uneven hiccups.
Anika stiffened at the 'your man' comment before she got up and decided to look for Om first in the kitchen. She found Om with Rudra. Both the brothers were drunk & dozing on the kitchen counter.
She snaked her way around the crowd outside the kitchen, and stood up next to Om. "Om, main Ishana ko hall k couch pe bithakar aayi hun...uske pass jaao...wo akeli hai ", she slapped Om's back to bring him to senses. Om left half-tripping & half-falling.
Anika turned to Rudra & jerked his shoulders to wake him from his dozes. "Tu ne Billu ji ko kahin dekha hai?", Anika asked out of breath.
"Haan...Bhaiya pool ke baju mein apne kuch college friends k saath baithe hain" Rudra pointed in the direction and she thanked him again, and walked around towards the back of the house.
In the pool, were at least 10 or so people, most of them were wearing only their shorts or bikinis, and doing the exact same thing people were doing inside the house. She spotted Shivaay with 3 other guys. Out of the 4, only Shivaay seemed to be the one not drunk. She stomped her way towards him.
"Sahi mein, Shubhank...I am really surprised at your story", Shivaay was chatting merrily before Anika called him.
"Billu ji!", she called out.
The handsome Oberoi glanced up and swallowed hard at the sight in front of him. His icy blue eyes turned intense & passionate as his gaze lingered from top to bottom of the standing damsel.
"At last you are here...You make me wait too much..." he muttered to himself straining his eyes to take in more of his lady love's beauty...
Anika frowned & almost ordered, "Billu ji...yahan aayiye..."
Everyone seemed to grow quiet around them, and Shivaay blinked a few times confused at the ordering tone of Anika.
"Why?" He asked while his friend, the one called Shubhank, murmured something in his ears & a naughty one-sided smile appeared on his lips..
"Mr. SSO! Yahan aaiye...Abhi ke abhi..." Anika screamed.
Everyone backed away from the flaming girl, and Shivaay shushed his friends before lazily walking over to Anika. She turned around & waited for him to approach, then spoke up, "Ye sab kya chal raha hai!!!"
Anika again turned around to face Shivaay while he answers her, but her treacherous eyes gave her away as they completely forgot the question & glanced Shivaay's form from up till down, and she mentally slapped herself.
"Kya kehe rahi thi tum?" he asked.
"Ummm...wo...main...ye puchh rahi thi ki...ki---", she spaced out.
Anika completely lost what she was going to say to him. He noticed how spaced out she was and smirked. Anika let out a frustrated sigh, and she started walking around him, but Shivaay caught her arm and spun her around so she was staring right up at him.
"Billu ji..." she was feeling dizzy under his intense gaze.
"Hnnn...never really noticed how...SEXY you are..." He purred stressing on the word which made Anika's face burn bright red and she looked away.
Shivaay took that chance to stare more at her, and he couldn't help but think that Anika is really gorgeous. And, not to mention how amazing her body is. "Beauty with Brains...I am so lucky", Shivaay mentally rejoiced for having Anika in his life. Anika caught Shivaay staring at her intently and she pushed him away.
"Cheapde!!! Aap dur rahiye mujhse...", she hissed.
"Tumhe aise revealing clothes pehenkar iss party mein nhi aana chahiye tha...Gaur se apne chaaron or dekho...I'm not the only one looking at you, Anika." Shivaay countered in defense, with a shrug of his shoulders.
Anika's cheeks puffed out in anger, and she crossed her arms across her chest...Suddenly she felt a strong hand slowly snaking her smooth, soft & revealed waist. She flinched at the sudden touch, but the hold grew tight & a passionate voice followed in.
"Tumhe koi aur meri tarah ghoore...mujhe bardaash nhi, Anika...NO ONE is to stare at you like I do...No one has that right...", Shivaay's voice was growing possessive minute by minute as he felt all the eyes of the guys around brooding on his Anika.
Anika diverted her eyes towards all the others on hearing Shivaay's statement. She felt embarrassed at the public display of possessiveness & pushed away Shivaay lightly.
"Please mujhe chhodiye...mujhe jaana hai", Anika spoke in a low pitch, while stepping back..
"Kahan?" he asked while stepping up to her again. Anika stumbled back, but Shivaay caught her before she could fall.
Anika glanced around them and pursed her lips to a thin line when she realized how everyone was watching them with keen interest.
"What's the matter Anika...Tumne bataya nhi...kahan jaana hai tumhe?" Shivaay purred, his lips curling up into a teasing smirk. Anika glared up at him.
"Kya hum kahin akele chalkar baat nhi kar sakte?" she questioned, not realizing what she's about to get herself into.
Shivaay sighed. He walked into the house and Anika started to naively follow him inside. As they made their way through the crowded party, Shivaay entered a room, and had to kick people out of it.
Anika stepped inside and she stopped immediately when the door locked behind them.
"Billu ji...ye aap kya kar rehe hain?" she asked dumbfounded.
"You wanted privacy, I'm giving us privacy", he answered with a naughty smile plastered on his lips.
Anika felt a bit scared. She knew what Shivaay feels for her. Her heart started beating faster & louder as she watched him walk up to her. He came very close and felt every bit of her waist while slowly wrapping his hands around those revealing curves again. Anika almost jumped out of her skin. He smirked and reached up to touch her angelic face, brushing his thumb across her cheek bones. Anika's breath caught in her throat and her lips quivered. Being this close to Shivaay made her entire body melt, and she suddenly forgot what she was going to talk to him about, again. Shivaay leaned down to kiss her, but Anika moved her head away, and his lips grazed her cheek.
"Ye kya kar rehe hain aap...!" muttered Anika.
"Jo mujhe bahut pehele karna chahiye tha...wo hi kar raha hun..." Shivaay answered against her ear, making her body quiver.
"Kya bol rehe hain aap...mujhe kuch---", Anika couldn't complete her sentence as she felt Shivaay's index figure over her trembling lips.
"Tumhe kuch samajh nhi aa raha...really?? And you call yourself smart!!!" Shivaay chuckled sarcastically.
"Main aapke saath wo nhi kar sakti...", Anika fumbled at the loss of her words. She is getting frightened by the heated environment around them.
"Who told you that we are going to have sex?" Shivaay asked raising one of his brows.
"Aap peechhle kuch hafton se jo ishaare kar rehe hain...uske baad main aur kya samjhun??" Anika asked regaining some of her composure.
"Mere ishaaron ka ye matlab nikali tum??", he backed her up against the wall, and Anika gasped when her back came in contact with the cold walls.
Anika wanted to push herself away, but Shivaay pressed his body against hers, and she whimpered. He was not wearing his 3 piece formal dress today; instead he was in his home clothes, the kurta-pajama. .
"Anika...Mujhe pata hai...tumhe films ka bahut shauk hai...unhi films ki wajah se mere ishaaron ka ye matlab samjhi tum...but let me tell you...until I am in love with a girl, I don't intend to sleep with her...aur phir...mujhe jisse pyaar ho uski marzi k bina toh main kuch v nhi karunga", he persuaded her.
"Aap kehena kya chahte hain??", she sounded lost & nervous.
"That...The gestures I made previously, they meant...I...Love...You...ya...I Love You...Main tumse pyaar karta hun, Anika", Shivaay confessed slowly, feeling every word he is saying while looking straight in the eyes of the love of his life...
"Shivaay...", his name rolled in Anika's mouth very sensually as a pink blush adorned Anika's pretty face & soon enough a shy smile appeared followed by lowering of her eyes...
Shivaay studied Anika's expressions to decipher her reply for his proposal. He smiled as he got his answer. Within seconds he tightened his hold on her waist as he pulled her near completely erasing the tiniest gap between them.
"Ab agar tum mujhe wo nhi dogi toh main khud hi le lunga..." Shivaay stated.
"Kya nhi dungi?", Anika got puzzled.
Shivaay cut her off by slamming his lips over hers. Anika got so startled that at first she resisted, but his hand caught the back of her head and he crushed their lips together harder. Slowly Anika gave in. Soon his tongue hovered inside her mouth, and she kissed him back. Her hands reached up to cup his neck and Shivaay reached down and gripped her waist.
She pulled away and her brown orbs met his icy blue ones..
"Iski baat kar raha tha main..." Shivaay cleared.
Anika chewed on her lower lip and her eyes skimmed over his fair face, and then to his lips.
Shivaay watched her intently.
And then, Anika did something daring. She stood up on her toes to reach his face, and then she kissed him again, only this time, she was pushing him towards the bed.
