Chapter 7: Lights, Camera and Action
Anika found herself being lead by Kalyani Oberoi into the great halls of the Oberoi Mansion. "Was this Opulence?" she thought, "No this must be decadence!". A look at the assembled guests and Anika was beginning to feel painfully embarrassed. Each woman in this room was dressed to the nines with a splendid display of finery. Full length ball gowns of every color fluttered around her, while bright colored sparkling jewels were winking at her. The ladies formed a colorful kaleidoscopic image as they twirled and danced around to some english symphony. Anika wore a red, orange and yellow kanjeevaram wrap skirt. This skirt was a gift from the weavers of Kanchi for whom she helped draft petitions to protect their status as a cottage industry. This skirt was woven with all the love and respect they had for Anika. This was the only piece of silk clothing Anika owned. She coupled the skirt with a faux silk black top cut to accentuate her perfect bosom and swan like long neck. Anika accessorized with tribal jewelry gifted to her by a family from Coorg. She helped their daughter leave her abusive household and find respectable employment. With tears in his eyes, the tribal farmer gifted her a pair of heavy metallic jhumkas. On her wrist was a lone charm bracelet. It was the only piece of jewelry she was fond of and never parted with it. While the socialites teased their hair into elaborate up-dos and french knots, Anika wore her soft curls as a wreath around her neck.
Kaylani seemed to sense the shift in Anika's demeanor and said "Beta your radiant glow and confident smile are worth more than all diamonds in this room, please do not let these baubles get to you." Anika instantly flashed her electrifying smile and was quickly put at ease.
Things were going well. After the initial shock of being in the Oberoi Mansion wore off, Anika found herself well... sort of, enjoying. She met Jahnvi Oberoi and Pinky Oberoi who were immediately impressed by her. She was really enjoying her conversation with Rudy who she had taken to quite instantly when she felt a little weird. She felt as though someone was staring at her back. She instantly turned around and found herself being glared at, from about a mile away by a pair of blue-green eyes.
******************************
Shivay was having a perfectly ordinary day till it was not so. He had cracked a million dollar deal this morning, opened up a new branch office in Paris and was on his way to pick up prasad for dadi when it happened. Thinking about that incident made his blood boil. "Who was she anyway? some feral woman off the streets", he shrugged, "But how dare she?." Brushing away these thoughts, after smashing his phone that is, he began to get dressed.
There was a party at the Oberoi Mansion today. This party was in honor of his upcoming nuptials with Tia Kapoor. Honestly he was not excited about the party or Tia Kapoor. His wife to be was more of a business deal than a life partner. "Life partner, ya right!," thinking so Shivay rolled his eyes.
After a quick shower at work, Shivay changed into a custom black Armani suit. Tia was ranting about matching his suit to her dress, but he couldn't care less. He was beginning to get annoyed at Tia and at her want to dress him up. "Must talk to her about this" he thought.
Slipping on his handmade Italian leather loafers, Shivay called up Khanna and asked him to get ready to move. Khanna had disappeared a little earlier saying Prinku had him on some important job. "I hope he is done" thought Shivay lazily. As Khanna pulled up his Rolls, Shivay found himself missing his Bentley "Damn that woman!" he cursed.
Oddly though for some inexplicable reason, Shivay was nervous? maybe anxious to get home. Shivay kept fidgeting all through the ride home. He was getting irritated. "Maybe it was the car!?," "Damn you woman!" he thought. "Maybe it was Khanna?, "Why did he keep looking up and then away?. Shivay hoped a quiet evening with OmRu would calm him down.
Something about the air was changed. Shivay knew it. He did not know why, but he knew it was not the same. As he entered the massive banquet hall, couples twirling around parted to give him way. Women were waiting on either side of him for a signal. A signal was all they needed to start fawning over him. Business men had lined up to shake his hands and pay their respects. While trying to look for his brothers among the sea of swirling satin, Shivay's eyes caught glimpse of a gleaming skirt. This woman had her back to him. For reasons alien to him, Shivay wanted to tug at her hand, that hand with that bracelet, and make her look at him. She was certainly not dressed like the others. Her knee length skirt hugged her hips well and ended with an ever so light sway, giving way to a pair of shapely legs. As she laughed with Rudy and Om her waist length hair kept bouncing off her shoulders and mocked him to come closer and inhale her scent. He was getting angry now, "why did she not turn?." As though on cue, Anika turned. He stiffened and glared "Damn you woman!" he thought.

Blue-green stared down golden brown. Golden brown challenged blue-green. Two hearts raced. Both minds yelled "Oh No!." At that exact moment, the lights went out for a second. Then a spotlight came on, "Ha!" spoke the blue-green eyes, "The world looks at me!". "I don't care" answered the golden brown and started to turn away. "Don't you dare" threatened the blue-green, "Watch me" teased the golden brown.
Chapter 8: A dance for dominance
Kaylani keenly observed Shivay under the spotlight. A second spotlight brought Tia Kapoor into focus. Kalyani did not hate Tia, she just didn't think much of Tia. "Just another plastic doll" thought Kalyani. Tia was related to Prithviji and that was the only reason why Kalyani agreed to this alliance. Pinky picked Tia out for Shivay. Tia was "Perfect" said Pinky. Kaylani knew it was not so, and what she was about to see would confirm her suspicions.
Shivay extended his arm towards Tia, gesturing that they dance. But his eyes looked beyond Tia into the darkness where it seemed liked they were engaged in a dialogue.
A dialogue unlike one he ever participated in. Kaylani squinted to see who his eyes were talking to. Spotting Anika confidently looking into Shivay's eyes, Kalyani's heart did a dance.
Kalyani was not stupid. Sure she no longer involved herself in her sons' affairs and it seemed like she had no idea what was happening around her, but that was far from the truth. Kaylani had her trusted pairs of eyes and ears all around the place. So when Prinku yelled "She is my friend Anika," the first thing Kalyani did was to ask Khanna how did the events in the video come to pass. Long story short, Shivay broke the line at the temple, Anika called him out for it, he was being Shivay and arrogantly shoved some currency notes in her face. Then Anika cooly picked up a bat from the streets and proceeded to smash his windscreen and shoved the same money back, literally, IN HIS FACE. "Oh Shivay!" shrugged Kalyani. Then Kalyani asked Prinku about Anika. Honest and fearless is what Kalyani concluded. "Just Perfect."
**************************************************************************************
Shivay and Tia were soon joined on the dance floor by other couples. Prinku and Anika were busy in conversation when Prinku was approached for a dance. Unable to refuse being the hostess, Prinku shot Anika an apologetic look and said "I will be back soon." Anika nodded her head and said "Go on Prinku, I will be right here", just as the words left her mouth Om said "That is a shame! Care to dance?." Anika would have turned him down just like she had turned down the other two guys before Om, but something about his sincere smile made her say "Yes."
As Om lead Anika to the dance floor, Anika said "Mind you, I have two left feet." Laughingly lightly Om twirled Anika around stepping on her right big toe in the process, "Me too!" he replied. Anika giggled and so did Om. The sound of their laughter reached Shivay who was now burning with rage. "Who the hell is she?" he thought. Just then the symphony ended and a new one began. This one would alternate between fast and slow at a pace comfortable enough for people to switch partners when slow and dance slightly faster than a waltz when fast. Custom dictated that Shivay and Tia be the center of a circle that would be formed by the other dancers. After the first break in pace, Shivay and Tia would exchange partners.
Shivay expertly lead Tia to the center of the circle, all the while keeping an eye on Om and Anika. In his mind he calculated the exact path he would take to get close to Anika just in time as the pace changed. Anika was not oblivious to Shivay. She mentally vowed to get away from him, just in case he created a scene with regards to the incident involving them from earlier in the day. As she tried to follow Om's lead unsuccessfully, Om said "I usually do not dance, as you would have guessed, the reason I asked is just so that I can talk to you." Anika smiled and said "Well thank you, I guess you are also interested about the video involving your brother?." Anika barely registered what Om had to say. All the while Anika realized that she was the object of Shivay Singh Oberoi's attention. Those blue-green eyes blazed with anger as they looked at every move she made. With each passing second those eyes moved closer till she could see that they now changed color to an icy blue. Anika sensed Shivay's intention and could feel the change in pace approaching. "Let me try to lead" saying so Anika tired to direct Om anti clock wise. You see when she did this, they rammed into the couple right next to them and disturbed the sequence. Both couples laughed and made way for other couples to fill their spots. The break in pace happened just then. On cue, Anika and Om exchanged partners. The moment had passed.
Shivay had to exchange Tia for some other dumb socialite. Shivay was livid. For once his plan went awry and all because of "That damn woman." Eyes narrowed and spitting fire Shivay took in Anika's new coordinates. Anika tilted her head just then to catch Shivay's glance. His eyes almost screamed "Don't pull that oneon me again." Anika gulped. "Stop imagining things Anika" she said to herself. "Two can tango, Woman!" thought Shivay to himself. Pealing his eyes away from Anika for a bit, he started to move towards Prinku. Anika saw this and was in disbelief that instead of feeling relieved she felt, well, a bit disappointed. "I am certainly imagining things" she thought. Shaking her head, she attempted to engage in conversation with her partner. Her partner she learned was a young business man apprenticed at his father's firm. He was more than happy to be dancing with "Such a gorgeous woman" he said. Anika was getting anxious, she wished for the change in pace to happen again. "I will excuse myself and go get something to drink" she thought.
Unfortunately for Anika she overlooked the fact that Prinku had been dancing in that quadrant of the circle which was now empty because of three sloppy couples. To keep up pace, the rest of the couples moved ahead. This put Prinku right behind Anika. Anika would have noticed this had she faced Prinku. But right now Anika was too preoccupied to noticed this.
All of a sudden Anika sensed a sudden shift in the air. The music seemed to be slowing too. Anika's partner had seized her hand rather enthusiastically causing her to lose her balance as she was turned around by him. The pace just changed. As Anika steadied herself she found her self face to face with Shivay Singh Oberoi. "Gotcha!" smirked Shivay and the icy blue eyes turned to a deep emerald green. Anika's golden brown eyes widened in disbelief, simultaneously her arms raised to find Shivay's shoulders. But then at that very instant, the symphony ended. Anika's eyes registered the end and now danced with mirth. With one quick curtsey Anika left the dance floor. Head shaking in laughter and hips swaying as she did so. Shivay was mad. A peculiar feeling took him over as he watched her hips sway. Heart racing he made a move to follow her when "Shivay baby..." said Tia and took hold of his arm.
