||REPURCUSSIONS & FALLOUT ||
Premise: After Tia's revelations, Anika's and Rudy's plan revealed. Rohit is Anika's childhood friend. They grew up in the same orphanage till she was adopted. He helps her find Dushayant.
SHOT 1
"So that was your master plan." His sardonic voice cuts through the haze that everyone seemed to be suspended in.
"Positively unbelievable...don't you think" I mutter, crossing my fingers, already picking up on his less than pleased demeanor.
"Do you even realize what you have done?" I unconsciously take a step back moving towards Rohit. "Don't you dare move away from me." He growls grabbing my arms, a gesture he seems to take immense pleasure in. I wince. How had I forgotten that MR.SSO's mind didn't quite work the way normal peoples does.
"I don't understand." I frown. "No one in their right minds would dare lift a finger against your reputation now. Everyone knows the Oberois are beyond reprimand. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if Tia..." I trail off as I see the fire in his eyes. He doesn't seem happy..."What did I not account ..."
"That is not what I am..." he thunders leaving me suddenly to fall back. I suddenly feel bereft.
"Do you...Do you have any idea...Do you not know what you have put me through in the last few days?"
"If it is anything close to what I have felt..." I mutter " I mean, all you had to do was convince Tia that you would marry her, and you seemed to be doing a pretty good job of that even without knowing the whole story. So it seemed pointless letting you on in. Now I on the other hand had to make sure that you would sit in that dratted mandap, but time dushyant's entry so perfectly that you wouldn't tie your self to that cheapde. Bade aiye mujhe batane waale ..."
His mutinous expression does nothing to reassure me. For the life of me I can't understand what is annoying him. Except if...even the thought hurts but... "Shivaay, are you...are you angry because...this means your deal won't go through." He stiffens imperceptibly and my heart sinks "Shivaay I understand business is important for you...but she was foisting someone's child on you Shivaay!"
"You think I'm mad because of the merger?!" He thunders incredulously.
I frown. Bhagad billa really doesn't make anything easy does he?
"Then...is it because you...love her?"
"Shut up Anika!...just just Shut up! If you can't even figure out why I'm angry then there really is nothing left to talk about" He grabs my arms and I wince.
"Woah dude...you're hurting her. You should be thanking her." As his hands tighten around me I want to kill Rohit for interfering. Talking back to Shivaay when he is in the ZONE is like waving a red flag infront of a bull.
" Lagta hai kissi ne apko tameez nahi sikhaye hain. Jab pati patni baat karte hain tho beech main nahi bolte. Itne bhi manners nahi sikhayen kya, tumhare mom aur dad ne?"
i feel Rohit stiffen behind me and instinctively squeeze his hand. This man will always manage to find the exact buttons to hurt my friends. Not today.
"Shivaay! You have no right to speak to Rohit like that! Aur konsi patni? Kiski patni? Aap tho tia se shaadi karne ke liye itne excited the. You will never, never speak to Rohit like that. Maafi Maango!"
The expression on his face sends shivers down my spine.
" Maafi maangana tho door ki baat anika, he will never breathe next to you again. Thank you for helping Anika, but Get the hell away from anika and get the hell out of here!"
" Okay he'll leave." i pause drinking in the surprise on his face before adding "But I leave with him." i take a step back afraid that he might just as well incerinate me with the fire in his eyes.
"Aap mariye apna tadi kisi aur ke saamne. Main apki raita phir kabhi saaf nahi karne waali." I say furiously grabbing Rohit's arm. Rohit raises one eyebrow, but doesn't risk saying anything. He knows not to mess when I am furious.
"Anika! If you don't leave his hand I will kill him." His soft voice chills me. I drop Rohit's hand unconsciously.
He look at me for a long second before picking up my hand, and i hate the way it makes my arm tingle. " Omkara, Rudra, find Rohit a guestroom. Away from mine and Anika's room. I don't think Anika would appreciate it if I accidently hurt her...friend. I and my wife need to have a long talk." he mutters before dragging me towards...our room.
