😊😊Hi all... Ishqbaaz is quickly becoming one of my favourite serials thanks to the wonderful chemistry❤️ between Shivay and Anika! So, I thought- based on the current track- I would write my own little plot- something which I would like to see for "Shivika"! 😊
"How could he even think of such a thing? It's disgusting.. It's... No.. It's my mistake that I thought that I could ever like such a person", thought Anika. The events that morning had absolutely shaken her up.💔 She felt dirty. That Shivay could think that she would sleep with Daksh for money! Is this what he thought of her?! And here she was- trying to make him see the truth about Tia! No. She was wrong. "Shivay and Tia- deserve each other", thought Anika bitterly. But then- a tiny part of her heart began to beat faster. She knew Shivay was somewhere nearby. She quickly wiped her tears. 😭
She turned back to see Tia😡 and Shivay together entering the room. Her room. No. It was Shivay's room. She should probably leave. She had no right to be there. "Anika! Where are you going"? called out Tia. "I am going to see Sahil", she replied. She did not have any desire to be in the presence of Shivay right now. She could feel his eyes looking at her. What was in them? contempt? Disgust? No. She couldn't bear to see those eyes. Those eyes, that she once felt that she could gaze into them forever. She could live her entire life gazing into those eyes. Not now. Not anymore. Those eyes disgusted her. "Anika"- she heard him say her name. She froze. How dare he!? How dare he say her name with those lips that called her a woman of questionable character? 🤢😭Said that she had slept with Daksh? She turned back to see him. She wanted to see him say her name. How much further could he stoop? Her anger must have affected him. He was drunk. He gave her a look of pure spite. She would not stay and answer him. She left the room.😔
It was well past midnight. She could not sleep. The moonlight spread though the swimming pool. If she should touch the water- she would be blessed by the moonlight. Her tears, she thought, would be blessed by that light. Perhaps her happiness would return to her. The day before she ever met Shivay Singh Oberoi. A drop of tear fell into the water in the pool. She closed her eyes. She prayed- take me back to the time before I every knew him. Take me back to the time before I started feeling his presence. Before I knew those eyes. Where I was with Sahil, in our house, happy. The breeze arrived with the familiar feeling of Shivay being somewhere near her. 😒"Come", he said. She stopped thinking. As though drawn by his voice. All her resolve, her anger, her disgust. She felt angry at herself. How could she feel that way about him? She followed him like she was under some spell. Their room. No Shivay's room. Where was Tia?
"Well congratulations"! he said.
"What for", asked Anika.He seemed unusually happy. No. He was not happy. He was .. She did not know. She was scared of this Shivay. This was the Shivay who had forced her to marry him. The Shivay who threatened to kill her brother. 😲
"What for?! Oh come-on Anika! You are still not going to put up with that 'Miss Goody-Two Shoes' Act are you"?
"I don't know what you are talking about", she said. This was scary. He was getting into that mode where he did not care about anything else. She was terrified of what this Shivay would do next.
"Oh you do! You first slept with Daksh and got your money and thought you are done with that. But then, you found out that you needed more. You know- to support.. And Daksh was never going to stay around. So, you conveniently drove off the girl I was originally supposed to marry temporarily and made it all look like you were my only option... So that you could marry me and come up with a larger sum..." 😡
"Are you out of your mind?!😡 I knew you didn't think clearly sometimes. But this is beyond any reason! How could you possibly think that I would deliberately.."
"Shut up Anika"!😡
She froze. His arms had gripped either side of her's and she was pulled closer to him. That madness in his eyes!
"Fifty Lakhs"- he said.
"What"?
"Fifty lakhs. And your house. Along with a trust fund for Sahil till he finishes his education".
"I don't need your charity. If you think..."
"No. You misunderstand me Anika. I don't do charity. I am a businessman, Anika. I weigh my profits and losses before I take any decision. But you are a decision I am not able to..."
She could feel his heart beat. They were in sync with her's. Surely he must have heard it too. She could feel his breath. They were uneven. Her's was too. He must have felt it too.
"One night. With me. Here. Now. And all of that's yours", he said.😡
She had no words. And this was the man she had come to love? What was wrong with her? She was too weak to speak. A familiar liquid heat touched her cheeks. She felt his hand on her cheek wiping those tears. She felt her whole body burning. Anger consumed her.
...
"I take that as yes"...
Both his hands were on her cheeks. He was coming closer. She needed her voice. He disgusted her. She pushed him away. He fell on the ground. When he looked at her- she was sure he could only see an empty shell standing in front of him.
She ran out of the room. 😡
She did not know where to go. She did not have any one to talk to. She had no house that she could call her home. Shivay Singh Oberoi had broken her- completely. 😭
...
He could not find Anika anywhere in the house. He knew he had crossed all limits last night. That did not mean she ran off like this! What would he tell Dadi? What would he tell..? That he asked her to sleep with him? He knew what he saw. He knew what he heard from Daksh. About them spending the night together. Yet, somewhere, when he saw the look on Anika's face the previous night, he wasn't so sure. She was genuinely shocked. Or did she find Daksh better than him? No. He must focus on searching for Anika. Anika would never leave Sahil behind. Where was Sahil?
..."... Anika should have been back by now.." he heard dadi say.
"Dadi..." he began.
Dadi stood up to leave. It had been that way ever since she found out what he had done to make Anika marry him.
"Dadi.. please... Where is Anika"?
"She has gone to the bank", said Saumya.
"Bank"? he asked.😕
"Ya. To return the loan papers...", said Saumya.
Loan papers? What was this now? "Loan...?"
"Yes loan", said dadi, without looking at Shivay. "Anika wanted a loan of Rs 15.00 Lakhs to get Sahil admitted to a boarding school. Shakti knew the bank manager so her loan was passed", said daadi.
"Fifteen Lakhs...", he whispererd.
"Yes. But now she wants to return the papers. For she does not know how her life is going to be. Without a house... she has to find a job... she felt that she won't be able to repay the loan. So she is going to return the papers... She was so full of hope the day she got those papers... When Daksh had given her the papers.. She had rushed to inform me about it. Thanked me... Billu, I will never forgive you for what you did to Anika"...
It was all coming back to him. It was the loan papers which Daksh had in his hands that day! How could he! No...😲
At that precise moment- he felt her near...
Those eyes... No. He can never meet with those eyes again. What had he done? He felt angry. He had always prided himself to be the best judge of characters. But this! No... He could not see hatred for him in her eyes... Her hands were clasped around Sahil's. He wanted to reach out. Hold her hand. Say that he was sorry. Say that he would never doubt her again. Say that all her troubles will be his. Promise that all the difficulties in her life should face him first. Those eyes. He wanted to see them happy... Yet.. He was the reason for her unhappiness. Her misery. What has he done!
...
The sun was on his face. It was trying to melt the ice that had formed in his heart. He felt her presence in the room once again.
He turned around. There she was. Arranging the bed. As though nothing had happened. How can she be this way? some other woman would have shouted at him. Called him names. Disgrace him in front of his family. But Anika... ❤️
He caught her hand...
She tried to wriggle it out.
What was this in her eyes? Anger? Oh! Not anger... it was fear! Of him. No. He cannot see her like this. Not afraid of him. What kind of an animal must he have been!
He held her palm with both his hands. He did not know what he was doing. He bent his head and took her hand to his eyes. He felt a liquid heat in his eyes. He felt its moisture on her hand... He did not know what it meant... He just wanted to do that...
...
She touched his head with her other hand. She could not see him like this. After what he did to her- why was it that she still couldn't see him in this condition? When he looked up, his eyes were on the ground. Tears, wiped away by her hand. She touched his cheek. He looked up.
And They both understood each other, perfectly.
