ShivIka One Shot - Dil Kya Kare
A very drenched Anika waded her way through the 4 feet pool, fuming and eyed by a very guilty looking Shivaay. "Anika, I am sorry." He muttered.
"Oh, it's really okay Shivaay. Who cares I wasted 2 hours to get ready, missed an important meeting with a client. It was Rudra and Saumya's sangeet but who cares!?" She started off sarcastically and ended up screeching.
"See I am really sorry. You just scared me, I was talking on the phone and-" but before he could continue Anika cut his words, "So you pushed me into the pool."
She left Shivaay and went towards the bathroom. Shivaay looked at her retreating figure, clad in a drenched saree, mumbling and muttering to himself. He had been caught off guard, standing by the pool and talking to a client when Anika came out to show him how she looked. She had spent so much time because Saumya had gifted her a saree and wanted to wear it for her sangeet. But Mr. Shivaay Singh Oberoi, who wasn't scared of anything, got scared of her and pushed her into the pool as a reflex. Wow! Brilliant!
Shivaay set his hair, checked himself once in the mirror and walked out dejectedly. He would have stayed back to apologize but if Anika's efforts had been ruined so badly, trying now would be a death sentence.

Anika walked out of the bathroom in a bathrobe, still trying to dry her wet hair when Gauri walked in. She was surprised to find Anika still not ready.
"Bhabhi? Aap abhi tak taiyar nahi hue?"
"Hui thi, par tumhare pyare Bhaiya ne mujhe pool main dhakka de diya." Anika muttered angrily.
"Haw!" Gauri exclaimed. She then noticed Anika's face. She looked like she would cry any moment. "Bhabhi, dariye mat. Hum hain na. Hum aapko aisa taiyaar karenge ki Bade Bhaiye aap par yun fida ho jayenge." Gauri grinned.
Anika looked at her doubtfully, a little hope in her eyes. "Shivaay ke liya nahi, Rudra Saumya ke liye taiyar hona hai mujhe." Anika agreed haughtily.
"Bilkul." Gauri rolled her eyes.

Shivaay walked down the stairs in utter confusion. He hadn't gone for the function for an hour already, fearing what he would say. What was he supposed to say to the family? He ruined Anika's get up so easily? They will kill her before he can apologize to Anika. He shuddered. Suddenly, Om appeared in front of him. He was grinning. Shivaay raised his eyebrows in question.
"Look at the star couple today."
Shivaay's eyes turned to find Rudra and Saumya standing by a pillar. Rudra was grinning cheekily as Saumya was blushing beet red. But suddenly Saumya looked into Shivaay's eyes and he regretted it. She definitely will ask him where Anika was. What was he supposed to say?
"By the way, Shivaay, have you seen Anika Bhabhi and Gauri? We thought you guys were romancing but then I noticed Gauri is missing too and now you are here." As if in reply, Saumya exclaimed, "Oh my god, Anika Bhabhi!"
Shivaay turned around, his eyes closed in fear. Realising that he is giving away to the world that he is at fault, he suddenly opened his eyes to find her. Shivaay was star struck. Anika was dressed in a sea-blue net saree, with golden borders. She definitely looked heavenly. Her hair was left open with a thin golden head band. Her face had the perfect make-up, short jhumkas and the perfectly sized necklace. The most important part of her dress up was the vermillion in her hair parting and the mangalsutra around her neck.
As Anika walked down with a bright smile, Shivaay thought she might have forgiven him for she looked more beautiful than before. How would he know though, he had ruined it before he could take in how gorgeous she had looked earlier. He sighed. Om and Rudra were smirking at Shivaay's reaction that looked in-trance first and then... Disappointed?
Before they could ask him what was wrong, Anika walked past Shivaay, rather indifferently. Oh, there is the answer, Rudra and Om shook their heads in disappointment. How can Shivaay manage to upset such a jolly woman at all times?
*
The party was halfway. Anika had conveniently staged a fake leg-twist so she didn't have to dance with Shivaay. He clapped as Om and Gauri finished their performance. Anika was made to sit beside Shivaay yet she wasn't sparing him a glance. She could talk to a Buaji who sat 4 rows behind them but can't do much and talk to him. Finally irritated, because he so badly wanted to dance with her, he went to Rudra and Saumya. As he narrated his tale, Saumya's expressions went from horror to upset to grinning cheekily.
"Aww Bade Bhaiya. Aap Anika Didi ke saath dance karna chahte hai na." Before Shivaay could reply, Rudra butted in, "Sumo... Kitni baar samjhana padega, woh Didi nahi Bhabhi hai. Tum na toh unke relation ka acccept kar rahi ho, na humare." He snorted. At that, Saumya pulled his cheeks to Rudra's horror and Shivaay's amusement.
"Uh, you guys could surely romance after setting me up, right?" he kept himself from grinning. Rudra rolled his eyes, adjusted his kurta and walked towards his Anika Bhabhi.
"Bhabhi!!" Rudra side-hugged Anika.
"Oh-ho, Rudra, tu toh bilkul hero jaise lag raha hai. Par yeh achanak se apni Bhabhi ke paas kaise aa gaya. Sangeet hai tera, Saunya ke saath ek dum jhakaas dance kar."
"Mujhe aapke saath dance karna hai." Rudra stated clearly.
Anika shook her head vehemently. "Rudra mera pair mudd gaya. Main dance nahi kar paungi."
"Bhabhi jab aapke aur Shivaay Bhaiya ke bacche honge toh aap unhe kya kahoge, ki aap unke supercool Rudy Chachu ke sangeet main dance nahi kar paye?"
Anika looked at him like he had grown two horns while Rudra grinned cheekily. Anika turned red and looked away, muttering to herself. She wanted to dance, she really did but if she started dancing now, the family would make her dance with Shivaay and once she does, she'll easily forgive him, which she didn't want to.
While she was still debating at it, Rudra dragged her to the dance floor, asked for her hand and they started talking and chatting, moving to the soft music that played in the background. While Anika looked at everyone else, Rudra winked in Shivaay and Saumya's direction. Saumya dragged Shivaay onto the dance floor and they started dancing. It was only a few minutes when Rudra twirled Anika, literally leaving her to her fate, and Anika crashed into Shivaay's arms.
Anika huffed in annoyance and was about to free herself from his hold when Rudra directed the DJ to play another song. Shivaay caught hold of Anika's waist, entwined his fingers with hers.
[Please imagine Shivaay singing because it will make it more gorgeous than I can ever write]
He started moving slowly and Anika's steps fell into place with his.
zara zara si neend bhi
ajnabi si ho gayi
Shivaay grinned at her while Anika looked away. She had a facade to put up through the night. Shivaay could just shake his head.
zara zara chain se
dushmani si ho gayi
Shivaay twirled Anika, her back now facing him. As he slid his hands against her waist, Anika shuddered at the sparks that were ignited wherever he trailed his hand.
tum mile kho gaya
hai khud ka hi pata
Shivaay sang into Anika's ear, making her shiver ever so slightly. As she feared giving in once again, Anika broke free from his hold and moved away.
kya karoon, kya nahi
kuch bas mein na raha
samjhoon kaise koi samjhaaye..
Before she could walk away, Shivaay grabbed her wrist and pulled her into him. As he continued to sing the words, which surprisingly looked penned down especially for him, he turned her around to face him once again.
dil kya kare jab kisi se
kisi ko pyaar ho jaaye
jaane kahaan kab kisi ko
kisi se pyaar ho jaaye
The sheer amount of love that shone through his eyes as he synced with the song was enough to make Anika weak in her knees. She was thankful he was holding her so tight, she would have fallen for sure.
Oonchi oonchi deewaaron si
is duniya ki rasmein
Shivaay ran his fingers across her face, against her jaw, tipping her chin so she now looked at him. He smiled warmly at her which Anika couldn't help but return.
na kuchh tere bas mein jaana
na kuchh mere bas mein
tum mile kho gaya
hai khud ka hi pata
kya karoon, kya nahi
kuch bas mein na raha
Shivaay twirled her once more, catching her as they faced each other again, pulling her into him, his hand around her waist, pinning her against himself.
samjhoon kaise koi samjhaaye..
dil kya kare jab kisi se
kisi ko pyaar ho jaaye
Anika finally rested her hands on his shoulder, grinning at him. However stupid this Bagadh Billa was, he was like a sweet marshmallow when he was romantic. She mentally rolled her eyes at her own analogy and suppressed her giggles. Shivaay raised his eyebrows in question. What was this woman finding so amusing? When she shook her head negatively, he sighed and rested his forehead against hers.
jaane kahan kab kisi ko
kisi se pyaar ho jaaye..
"Beautiful. You look breathtakingly beautiful Anika." He muttered, eyes closed. "Not that you don't everyday, but today, I can't tell you what I am feeling and what I want to feel." He grinned boyishly.
tum mile kho gaya
hai khud ka hi pata
kya karoon, kya nahi
kuch bas mein na raha
"Cheapde." She snorted, finally loosening herself, giving in to his sweet gesture.
samjhoon kaise koi samjhaye..
"Are you still upset?" Shivaay asked tentatively.
"If Sadu Singh Oberoi, or rather, Scared Singh Oberoi turns so adorable, how can I, Anika Shivaay Singh Oberoi, stay angry for long."
He smiled contentedly. Suddenly, his smile twitched, "I was adorable? Please Anika, you can call me handsome, hot, suave but not adorable and definitely not cute." He stated as if it was the most obvious thing.
"Nah, I like it when Mr. I-am-hot Singh Oberoi turns cute." Anika easily defied Shivaay's statement. "But you are only allowed to be so romantically adorable for me." She added as an after-thought. Shivaay grinned at the untimely jealousy.
dil kya kare jab kisi se
kisi ko pyaar ho jaaye
jaane kahaan kab kisi ko
kisi se pyaar ho jaaye
As the song came to a closure, Anika placed a kiss on Shivaay's cheek. She was about to let go but Shivaay held on to her, his hand still tight around her waist. They stared into each other's eyes, not realising when everyone had clapped for everyone. The Oberois all smirked at the oblivious love birds.
kisi se pyaar ho jaaye
kisi se pyaar ho jaaye..
"Bhaiya gaana khatam ho gaya." Rudra grinned. To everyone's surprise neither of them reacted, still lost in each other.
Rudra showed his hand to everyone, wiping imaginary dust off his kurta and walking towards Shivaay and Anika.
Shivaay was still in trance when Rudra whined in his ears, "Bhaiya, mera sangeet hai. Limelight main aap kyu khade ho." Anika suddenly realised her surroundings and turned red. Shivaay stuttered some excuse that was incomprehensible.
Rudra and Om just smirked at him while Saumya and Gauri grinned cheekily at Anika.
Shivaay excused himself and walked towards the kitchen. As he walked by Anika, he whispered,
Dil Kya Kare Jab Kisi Ko, Kisi Se Pyaar Ho Jaye.

Song : Dil Kya Kare Jab Kisi Ko from Kaabil (2016)
Here you go with an extremely cheesy shot. Honestly, couldn't help but imagine this.
On second thoughts, selecting Hritik's song was a pure co-incidence becuase I absolutely love this song 😆
Tell me how it is :-)
Cheers,
Krishi ❤️
