Shivika - Day of Fateful Encounter
It seemed like a normal morning in the Oberoi Mansion. Problems that haunted the family had slowly subsided. Shivaay Singh Oberoi stood in his room, on the phone. It was his usual business call. As the businessman was on the phone, he sensed a familiar presence enter his room. Shivaay saw his wife enter the room. The Mrs. Shivaay Singh Oberoi, Anika Singh Oberoi caught his eye as they stared at each other for a moment. Shivaay and Anika had gotten closer after Tia and Svetlana had been exposed for their transgressions. He caught himself staring at her. Realizing this, he turned his attention to the phone again.
"Yeah, alright. I'll call you back. Bye." Shivaay ended the call. He glanced back at Anika.
Anika realizing it would be a good time to talk to Shivaay, walked up to him. The man noticed her gentle smile and that she seemed to be a in a good mood, more than usual.
"Are you busy today?" Anika spoke as she questioned him, looking into his kanji eyes.
The businessman paused for a moment to think. "Yeah, I have some calls to do. Why?" Shivaay answered curiously. Anika was never usually one to inquire if he was busy today. She would know he always is.
"I want to take you somewhere today. I was hoping you would take time out of your schedule to go somewhere with me." Anika asked pleasantly.
Shivaay couldn't help but smile. He stepped closer to Anika. "Is my Tadibaaz wife asking me out on a date?" Shivaay stepped closer to her with own tashan, putting his hands in his pocket. Shivaay smirked with superiority as Anika, in shock, looked away immediately. Anika was blushing again. Shivaay was enjoying this moment.
"N-No, it's not a d-date. I was-" Anika stuttered, as she tried to explain her actions. Anika was not able to make eye contact.
"You were...?" Shivaay repeated her words, hoping she'd finish her sentence.
Anika paused, regaining her composure, stepped toward him. Anika realized he doesn't know what today is for them. She was in her tadibaaz mode now. "You know what, if you don't want to come with me, fine. I'll go alone." Anika begins to walk away.
Shivaay swiftly grabs her hand, making sure she wouldn't leave. Anika turned her head to her husband, who was still smiling. "Okay, okay fine. I'll go with you, but where are we going?" Shivaay inquired as he didn't understand what Anika was trying to do.
"Just get ready, you'll find out soon." Anika smiled, she was being mysterious. It made Shivaay curious.
The couple had gotten ready. They were in the car, Shivaay was driving. Anika simply told him the direction. Shivaay didn't understand why she wouldn't tell him where they were going. Anika knew that Shivaay would realize eventually. This did not stop Shivaay from constantly asking Anika during the ride there, sadly.
Some time passed and eventually Anika asked Shivaay to stop the car. They had reached their destination. Shivaay looked outside from his car. They were at a temple. Shivaay was confused. Why did she bring all the way out here to go to a temple? He turned to Anika wondering what they were doing here.
"Let's go." Anika got out of the car. She stared at the temple and let of a small laugh, recalling memories. Anika began walking toward the temple without Shivaay.
As Shivaay stepped outside the car, he realized where exactly there were and why. Shivaay suddenly started putting the pieces together. Noticing Anika walking without him, he speed-walked to her side.
The couple stopped together in front of the temple together.
"This is..." Shivaay began as he looked at Anika.
"Yes, this is where we first met. Today is the anniversary of the day we first met. Right here, at this temple on this day." Anika finished Shivaay's sentence, explaining what they were doing here. She looked at him with a smile, she almost laughed with the look on his face. Shivaay Singh Oberoi actually didn't know what today was for the two of them.
Shivaay looked in the distance, but in the direction of the temple. "It's been a year..." Shivaay started. "I almost can't believe it."
"Yes, so much has happened since that day. You changed. I changed. Our lives completely changed from what it was. And look at us now." Anika began thinking as she explained her feelings.
"I never would've thought so much could change in so little time. We used to hate each other and fight each other everyday." Shivaay looked back at Anika, he looked at the mangalsutra and sindoor. They were of his name. Shivaay smiled at Anika.
"If one-year-ago Anika saw me now, she'd faint." Anika laughed.
"If one-year-ago Shivaay saw me, he'd beat me." Shivaay agreeing with Anika, laughed together with her.
After laughing for a while, Anika calms herself. "Okay, let's go inside." Anika takes Shivaay inside to pray to Lord Ganesh. The couple prayed to their god. They thanked Bappa for bringing them together on that day. If it were not for him, who knows how different their lives would've be. Some time passed.
Shivaay and Anika started leaving the temple. They began holding hands. Both of them were glad to have been here today. It was day of their fateful encounter. The day that changed their worlds for the better. Shivaay and Anika knew that their story isn't pleasant, but it's their story and they appreciated it.
While walking, Anika stopped suddenly. "Wait!" Anika shouted for a moment. Shivaay stopped. He looked to his wife, wondering what happened. "Wait, one minute. Let me get a bat, I can break your glass again." Anika became excited, letting go of Shivaay's hand, and headed back to find a cricket bat.
Shivaay looked nervously, trying to reach out to her. "Ani- Wait, Anika!" Shivaay reluctantly followed after his wife, trying to stop her and her craziness.
And so their story continues...
~~The End~~
