ShivIka SS | Remarriage Chapter 6 More Plans, Dreams and a Good Morning Anika hurried to Shivaay's study to find him calmly sitting in his chair and a confident looking man sitting opposite.
"Finally aa gayi." Shivaay raised his eyebrows.
"Woh Pinky aunty ka kuch kaam kar rahi thi." Anika muttered.
"Sir, ma'am?" The man interjected. "I have sorted out some card designs on basis of what Pinky ma'am told me. You can now see what card suits you."
He handed over a tablet to Shivaay and Anika stood by his side. Shivaay had just begun to go through it when he suddenly put it down and looked at Anika looking at him in confusion. He stood up and made her sit on the chair. Anika's eyes shone with warmth as she was filled with it. As they continued to look at each other, the man coughed feeling awkward yet grinning. It brought them out of their reverie.
Anika looked at the tablet quite intently while Shivaay was halfway between a smirk and an awkward smile.
After staring at it for quite long, Anika locked onto a card she found beautiful. She excitedly showed it to Shivaay. When Shivaay saw what she had selected, he smiled. A card with colour matching his eye colour - cerulean blue with a tinge of green, rather it was kanji aankhein shade, Anika's new personal favorite. It had a golden-brown traditional pattern with the bride and groom's names.
Without waiting for Shivaay to speak his opinion, she forwarded the tablet to the card designer and started instructing him of all their choices. Shivaay was surprised how she managed to blend both their choices in it.

The Oberois sat in the living room, sipping their choice of drinks as the sun settled for the day. They had all discussed each and every function, planned through and through from the menu to the guest list from the dresses to the decorations.
Shivaay said that the reception will be arranged by him and only him. Though all of them were quite against the idea, after all which dulha plans his reception in secret, they had to agree when Shivaay bargained and let Om and Rudra in. The Oberoi's surely are a business family.
As Saumya, Anika and Prinku sat in a corner, discussing something very excitedly, giggling and then hushing themselves, Rudra nudged Om and Shivaay. "Bhaiya, main bol raha hun inn sab ka koi secret hai."
Om and Shivaay nodded in understanding. "Well. I will try to find out." Om said. "Me too." Shivaay added.
-
Rudra looked around to make sure no one else was around, especially the dulha and dulhan. With one last glance and a raised eyebrow, he entered Om's room to find an impatient Saumya with her hands across her chest and a pacing Om.
"Finally!" Om exclaimed with a smile that Rudra was sure was sarcastic.
"Thank god Rudra!" Saumya grinned. "You finally found time to meet us." Rudra gulped, trying to rack his brain for an excuse. They were supposed to meet about 20 minutes ago when Rudra decided that a phone conversation with Chubby, about the newest girls in college won't be harmful.
"I am sorry, okay?" Rudra licked his dry lips. "I had some important work."
"Exactly! Something extremely important, like talking about the latest girls in college." Saumya glared at him.
"Haww Sumo!" Rudra exclaimed. "You were eavesdropping on my conversation." His eyes went wide.
"Dekha bade baal wale bhaiya! Maine kaha tha na, crybaby ke liye sabse important kaam humara sabse bakwaas kaam hoga." Saumya huffed in annoyance. Before Rudra could retaliate in defence, Om pushed them apart, not realising when they had almost come to each others' throats.
"Honestly guys, I see the next Shivaay and Anika in you."
Saumya looked away, slightly embarrassed. Rudra rolled his eyes at her, "Guys, can we please plan what we are here for."
Om and Saumya exchanged I-am-fed-up-of-this-Dumbell-Oberoi glances and decide to save an earful for Rudra for later. They had an important task at hand.

Anika's breath hitched as Shivaay came closer to her. Her hands reached out to the window sill behind her for support. Shivaay smirked and leaned in, his stubble grazing her jaw. He smiled and kissed her one her cheek, making the blood rise in her cheeks.
To her surprise, her mobile started ringing. She giggled at Shivaay's disgruntled expression and reached out to disconnect the call when to her surprise, Shivaay started shaking her maddeningly.
Blinking her eyes a few times, she realised that in truth, she had been dreaming about the man. Saumya sighed when she finally managed to shake Anika out of her dream. She had been giggling in her dreams, quite absurd.
"Finally Anika Didi! Do you realise how difficult it is to wale you up?"
Anika smiled sheepishly.
"By the way, were you dreaming about Bade Bhaiya?" Saumya raised her eye brow.
"No! What made you think about this?"
"Uh, well you were blushing, even in sleep and that is the first time I have seen something like this happening." Saumya grinned and walked out of the room, not before shouting "Get ready soon. Pinky Aunty has invited us for shopping for your marriage. Now that is extremely important."
Anika blushed profusely as she recalled her dream. Surely, Shivaay's cheapdapan had rubbed off on her.
Shaking her thoughts, she rushed to the bathroom.
Anika came out of the bathroom, drying her hair when her phone started buzzing.
It was Shivaay's video call. Anika didn't understand the sudden butterflies that exploded in her stomach.
Calm down Anika. You and Shivaay have know each other for so long. And now you are feeling nervous for a video call?'
As she swiped to pick the call up, Shivaay's face came in front of her. Apparently he was in his car.
"Good Morning Anika!" Shivaay smiled, glancing at the screen.
Anika smiled back. "Aapko ho kya gaya hai?"
"You were supposed to wish me back but anyways. Kya hua mujhe?" he raised his eyebrows, all his concentration on driving.
"Yeh yeh, video call or sab."
"Anika, this is normal." Shivaay shrugged. "We always wish each other good morning, don't we?"
"But," Anika hesitated. He is right, isn't he? What is weird about this?
"Kuch nahi." She sighed.
"Mujhe morning kiss chahiye." Shivaay spoke after a few minutes of silence.
Anika's eyes widened. "Shivaay, kaisi cheapde wali baat kar rahe hai?"
"What is so cheap here Anika?" Shivaay made no attempts to hide his amused smile.
"Haww!" Anika's mouth formed an 'O'. But then she thought and gave him a flying kiss. "Advanced technology Shivaay." She grinned and did her 'logic' sign.
"This won't work Anika. I need a proper kiss."
"Neither can I come to you, nor can you come to me." She shrugged.
"What if we meet?"
"I am going out with Pinky Aunty and Badi Maa, we can't meet right now. We might meet in the afternoon but you can't call it a morning kiss. Sorry Shivaay, not okay." She winked.
"But what if we meet?"
"Aap kaam par jao!" Anika narrowed her eyes. "If you leave your work, I might think about it." She added as an afterthought.
She grinned, satisfied with her escape. He won't leave his work early in the morning. SSO has a lot of work to do, apart from roaming around her.
Anika, calm your nerves down. You need to understand, he is just playing with your mind. He isn't going to come. The butterflies in your stomach are meddling with your brain too. Anika gave her beating heart a pep-talk. She couldn't decipher the smirk on Shivaay's face. Shivaay just cut the call. Sadu Singh Oberoi, bye bhi nahi bola.
Saumya walked in the room. "Anika Didi, jaldi ready ho jao! Dadi ne kaha ki Bade Bhaiya hume lene aa rahe hai. He'll drop us to the boutique."
Anika's eyes widened. "Kya?"

I am so sorry for making you guys wait for so long. I had lost all inspiration for this story until the episode where Anika told Shivaay how she was scared of loosing everyone.
I hope you guys are still up for this fic. I don't promise regular updates but twice in a week might do, hai na?
What do you think happens next? Will Shivaay get his morning kiss? 😆 What have OmRuMya planned? I am still open to any ideas. After the next 2 chapters, we start with ShivIka marriage functions ;) But I will spice it up with lots of drama (positive stuff) and sweeten it with romance. This is a ShivIka story, so I'll be using all characters to their potential in Anika and Shivaay's life.
