Part Four
Annika awakened and stared wide eyed outside the window. Shivaay had the navigation running with some music in the background. She was surprised he was driving. When they left they had been in the back seat.
" Aap gari chalre hain? Hum toh beche baatien teh she muttered.
" We changed cars. I don't want the media or anyone else to find us, he declared.
" Why would anyone follow us? But then again this area is pretty, she stated as she looked outside her window.
Shivaay smiled to himself.
"I want us to start over Annika. This place is the right place to do it, he stated.
She turned to face him.
Who was this man? He wasn't the ruthless SSO who had thrown money at her and made her feel like she did not belong with his family?
He blindfolded her as he brought her into the bungalow that would be their home next few days.
The caretaker and his young son helped bring in their things. There was a pool next to their bedroom like they had at home. Shivaay had plans for Annika that he hoped she would forgive him when she regained her memories.
He would make sure she was independent like she always had been. He would lead the way but ultimately the decision was hers to make. Sirf Annika or was she going to remain Mrs. Shivaay Singh Oberoi the rest of their lives?
He opened the blind fold, and she gazed around the room in delight. It was like the room in her dreams since she was a child. But she could never afford a place like this nor did she have anyone else besides Sahil.
"Bauth aache hai yeh ghar! Shivaay there is a pool like at home! She ran outside towards the edge.
He gazed at her for a moment, taking in her happy face. Before the accident there had been so much tension between and around them.
Suddenly his reverie broke when he heard the splash.
He rushed over to the pool.
"Annika!, he yelled.
She popped her head out.
"Oh no Shivaay, I need to go change quickly. Why today?, she muttered.
It dawned on him why she had said that.
He offered her his hand and pulled her back to one of the beach chairs.
"Aap please mere kapre leker aayenge. I know this must be so awkward. You probably never got asked that right? At least I think I probably never asked you to right?, she muttered.
He recalled the forced marriage, how he had brought her the wedding attire and locked her in the room and demanded she take Tia's place. He had given kangan as a gift before, but never had he handed her clothes to her.
He reached the room and opened the suitcase. He knew he had to in the first time of his life, pick out underclothing for his wife. Yes he had gifted her lingerie. But never before had he gone through her things like this before.
" Shivaay jaldi karo, mujhe thaand lagri hai and you know my stuff is all ugh!, she yelled.
He shook his head.
" You are Shivaay Singh Oberoi! You are business man of the year. Just pick something and hand it to her, he muttered to himself.
He found the sanitary pads in the other pocket. One of his sister-in-laws must have packed them for her. He sighed and put them in the bathroom. He grabbed a towel and went to his wife.
" Yeh lo towel. Baaki sab andar hai, he said.
She smiled up at him as she took the towel. He shook his head noticing her lost in thought. He started to dry her hair. His fingers brushed her neck along with his warm breath. Annika's pulse increased and she felt goosebumps forming. She felt like she had been electrouted.. She got up suddenly and went towards the washroom.
She undressed and disposed of her wet things. She smiled when she noted the sanitary napkins on the bathroom countertop. The warm water was soothing. She stretched herself out. She put on her black kurti and pink leggings that he had picked out.
She left her hair in a messy bun. When she entered the room she found that she was alone. She felt her stomach growl. She hoped there was something she could cook. She wasn't the best but maybe Shivaay would teach her someday.
She was surprised to find her husband alone in the kitchen. He smiled slightly at her.
"You must be hungry, why don't you take a seat. I will make you some light food, then we can do a tour of the house together, he stated.
"Aap pelhe yahaan aaiye hain?, she asked.
Shivaay paused. He had planned to bring her here during the pretend memory loss phase. He just wanted time with his wife away from the chaos. Where he could be Shivaay and she could be his Annika.
" I had planned to bring you here sometime back, but there was some tension at work and at home. But I think we were meant to come here eventually, he stated.
She merely nodded.
The place was quaint and cozy. She wished she could bring everyone here. She wondered about his mother too. Why she hadn't been there when they had gone back to Oberoi Mansion.
"Shivaay mujhe kuch bura toh nahin huya ? Mujhe saach badtao na please, she stated.
"Annika you know you lost your memories about our marriage, lots of things happened already. I have made mistakes. I am sorry for them. I promise you, I will work hard to keep you happy, he pledged.
She gently removed the knife from his hands.
He was reminded of the chakku romance.
She caressed his cheek, as she moved the things over so that she could sit on the countertop facing him.
"Shivaay galti sab se hoti hain. You know Dadi always was convinced Tia was wrong for you. But never thought I would be married to you instead, she said with a smile.
" Annika I..
" Shivaay main sab kuch maaf karna chahti hoon ek shart pe..
" Kaunsi shart pe?
" Aap mujhe cooking sikaenge, she said with glee.
"Kya? Main nahin seek sakti?,
Actually he never thought of teaching her before now. He decided to give it a shot. At least he would not have to eat burnt food to prevent the rest of the family from getting sick this time.
" Theek hai, you can start by grabbing that pot and adding the cardamom, he stated.
He guided her on how to make paneer the proper way. She inhaled the smell of the masala as it cooked. She would look to him for approval for each step. He realized he was falling more in love with Annika with each moment. He never knew he would find her so alluring.
"Billuji javab toh na?, she yelled at him to wake him up.
He had so been taring her.
" Aap mujhe tare the, haaw! Yeh toh 2 rupees baat huyi na!
He laughed at her.
"No Annika it's called checking you out, he declared.
"Whatever it is 2 rupees. Main aisie larki nahin hoon, she muttered.
"Toh phir kaise larki ho tum?, he asked.
She fumed.
" Aap ko patna hona chaiye, aap ne mujhe se shaadi ki hai, she stated.
"Annika we need to make aata. You wanted to learn right?, he changed the topic.
She nodded. She slipped in front of him and he guided her through making aata. She felt his chest, against her back making it difficult to concentrate but she wanted to learn. She wouldn't want to disappoint him.
She focused on the task ahead.
He threaded his fingers through hers. He had done this before, but never in this situation. He hoped he could keep her by his side for the rest of his days.
When Annika turned to the side to wash the dishes and pack away the food, Shivaay reached over and released her hair from her clip. She turned to face him wide eyed.
He caressed her cheeks. He then nuzzled her neck with his nose and beard. She broke away from him to finish the task at hand.
"Khana acha banega tha, she muttered.
" Acha toh hona tha hum dono ne banaya hai, he replied quietly.
She finished drying the last dish.
He couldn't bear it anymore. He had been wanting to show her exactly how much he cared for her all day.
" Ab kya..
He pulled her to bump against his chest. Then he captured her lips in a fury of passion he had been trying to keep at bay for weeks now.
