Shot 2- The after effects!
He was in shock would be an understatement. He was rendered incapable of thinking, reacting or breaking away from her for that matter. Her soft lips felt like the best thing against his. For that minute he had forgotten where or among whom he was. He was in a world he had never seen, felt before. His hand rested on her waist to not be thrown behind by the force with which she came on him.
As suddenly as she had made contact she broke, it. He blinked breathing hard. Reality sank. Could he for the sake of God disappear somewhere? Shivaay Singh Oberoi had been kissed against his wish, in front of his family, by someone he swore he din't know! Embarrassment couldn't get better than this!
"I missed you so much jaan! her voice trailed dreamily as her hands ran up and down his blazer clad arms. All the eyes in the room were on Shivaay's arms including his very own. Those fair hands with stark red nail paint, moving against the black of his blazer seemed to be the most interesting sight, suddenly. He gulped, then coughed slightly.
"I missed you...so..so..much! She exclaimed stretching her arms. He immediately took the opportunity, which he was pretty well-versed at and took two small steps away. Why was he freaking out? He was The SSO! People trembled before him, so why was he, before her ? Maybe because his calculative mind had guessed that if a woman could pull the stunt the l;ady before him had she was sure capable of shocking and surprising further. The risk here was unpredictable and unprepared for!
"Oh, My Mata! cried Pinky like a mother whose little son had been named someone else's without prior permission.Koi baatayega yahan ho kya raha hai!
Rudra poked Omkra, whispering-"Did she miss it?
"Shut up Rudra! he whispered back still not wholly recovered by the shock the scene before him had left him in.
Anika smiled at her, then turned to Shivaay,Mom?
He looked like a lost kid and simply nodded.
She pulled out a scarf from her bag and put it on her head and then walking to Pinky, bent down to her feet and said Hello Mummy Ji!
"Huh? whispered Shivaay still shocked.
"Mummy Ji!??? Pinky looked terrified.
"Woah! Sanskaari bhi hai! Rudra spoke excitedly.
This time Om only gave him a glare, that did it- silenced Rudra.
"Nameste papa Ji! she touched Shakti's feet who looked at Pinky for an explanation.
She shrugged her shoulders, both turned to Shivaay, questioningly who also shrugged his shoulders and looked at his brothers extremely confused.
"Arey tum ho kaun? asked Jaanvi.
"Anika!
"Anika! Anika! Anika! the oberois reacted.
"ANikaa! SHivaay also repeated, considering that was the best to others know he was shocked as them.
Pinky glared at Shivaay,Anikkkaa! she dragged the name. "Kaun hai?
"Kaun hai? he repeated her question.
"Kaun hai? Pinky threw daggers at her son.
Shivaay looked at her clueless and turned to his brothers. While Om looked shocked, Rudra winked at him. He turned back to his mom when something struck him and he looked back at Rudra who was making his brows dance.
He quickly remembered the previous night.
------
It was half past one at midnight, when Shivaay heard a knock on his room's door. He walked up and opened it. It was his brother Rudra, with his pillow and blanket.
"Bhaiya I can't sleep alone. " he declared and walked in. It was a stormy night, the thunder cracked and made earth tremble.Why do you have to lock your room? You are neither a girl nor are you married!
"Rudra, shut up and sleep! said Shivaay sleepily getting back on the bed.
"Why are you so annoyed? Rudra asked getting on the bed's other side. Rudra should have known that people whose sleep was intruded upon midway were not going to be welcoming conversation like call centres! "Is it because we still haven't found a bhaabhi? Tha was it. A cuhion landed on Rudra.
"More than me everyone in the house is concerned about my non-existent wife! Not a word about it Rudra. Let me sleep!
"I understand Bhaiya! Don't worry, by tomorrow I will solve your problem. Then no one will ever say anything to you about looking for a wife!
"Good Night Rudra! Shivaay's voice trailed least bothered. He had had enough torture and taunts about finding the right match. Why don't they leave a guy alone! He can be single and be great! But the world was bent upon making his life hell!
-----
Was this what Rudra had spoken about? He stared at Rudra, who kept making weird teasing faces at him.
"I' m his wife! declared Anika in the meanwhile.
He coughed, "What!
OmRu had their hands over their gaping mouths.
"Wiiifffiii! Pinky muttered.
"Not Wifi, choti maa, wife, Biwi! Wifi toh easily mil jata hai, wife nahi! he gave his piece of free advice.
"Shut up! Omkara muttered under his breath.
"Shivaay tu ne shaadi kar li! asked Pinky in shock.
"Aur bataya bhi nahi? spoke Daadi.
"Kya Bhaiya! Isliye aap aaj tak saare rishtey reject kar rahe thee naa? asked Rudra.
Shivaay glared at Rudra, raising his eyebrows asking him if it was his plan.
"What? Rudra asked baffled.
Shivaay rolled his eyes.
"Before leaving London six months back, he married me!
"6 mahine pehle! shocked Pinky exclaimed.
Anika smiled shyly. Shivaay gulped.
"Shivaay, please explain! Jaanvi cut in.
Shivaay folded his hands, "What?
"Yeh Jhamela! Pinky replied sharply.
He took in a deep breath. Excuse me.he pulled his brothers and disappeared immediately.
----
"What the heel is this? asked Shivaay finally getting his voice back.
"Exactly, wo kya thaa? Omkara demanded an explanation from Shivaay.
Shivaay-"Why you looking at me like that? You guys need to explain!
"Wait a minute that woman was kissing you...
"Bhaabhi! correct Rudra interrupting.
Omkara looked at Rudra and blinked, maybe he made sense this time,.When did you marry Bhabhi? Om asked.
"Which Bhabhi? Shivaay looked confused.
"The one who was kissing you! How many do you have by the way? Rudra asked bewildered.
"She is not my Bhabhi! Shivaay spoke irritated.
"She is our Bhabhi! corrected Om, pointing towards himself and Rudra.
"Your wife! added Rudra.
"She is not my wife.
"But she was kissing you! Rudra itched his head.
"Stop saying that okay. I don't know who she is! Shivaay threw up his hands in the air.
"Bhabhi! That's what she said, Rudra spoke logically.
"Shut up. Did you guys set her up? Shivaay asked taking a deep breath.
"Why would we do that? asked Omkara confused.
"Because you both love me...
Rudra interrupted again, "That doesn't mean we set up Bhabhis to dive out of nowhere to kiss you!
Shivaay glared at his brother. "Don't say it again and again. And can you let me complete..
"Exactly added Om.
...after yesterday night's conversation, I thought you two set her up , because I was done seeing ladies to suit myself. Remember yesterday night, Rudra, you said, you will do something by today.
"I...I said that...but I din't mean I will get a Bhabhi out of no where! explained Rudra.
"Wait. If none of us know her. then who is she? Asked Omkara.
"Don't answer that Rudra! he added quickly, knowing his brother would come up with his stupid logic.
"Let's go out before Mom starts assuming something is fishy. Suggested Shivaay.
-----
The trio blinked at the scene outside. Everyone was settled on the sofa, and each was looking at a photo. The three looked confused. Only when Rudra bought one and held it before the them did they know what the photo were of. Shivaay & Anika's wedding!
"Phat the wuck! When did this happen! whispered Shivaay.
"Jaan! " Anika called out realising Shivaay was there. "I was showing them our wedding photographs. You were right they are all so surprised! She said holding his arm.
He stared at her and then at his brothers, nodding in a no.
"Wait a minute. Who are you? he said stepping away.
"Shivaay! No drama alright. It's been six months, I know you are upset because I came before time. But I could stay away no longer. And a surprise then or now the same thing, naa? She smiled.
He was left speechless for a moment. Did he have a memory loss or something? None that he remembered.
"Tune Firangi wedding ki!? asked heart-broken Pinky. "Arrey bata deta yeh pasand hai, London aakar destination weddings karte. Surprise nahi shock diya hai, tum dono ne!
"Shocked toh main khud hoon he whispered aside.
"Mummy Ji, we really wanted to, but you know Shivaay, he is so image conscious and all, to add at that time he was setting up the business in London, so we thought once the company is settled we will tell you all.
Shivaay blinked.
"Okay. I'm done. I don't know who she is. Kahan se hai, kya hai. I don't know her. " he declared.
"Haan ye photo London ke ped pe uge thee. Asked Pinky sarcastically.
"Mom!
"And see this marriage certificate, this is also fake right? Shakti asked cross.
While Tej couldn't control his smile. Jaanvi glared at him.
"Welcoem to the family Anika! Tej spoke.
"Bade Papa, she is not my wife!
"Billu! finally Daadi intervened.
"Shaadi ki hai toh nibhaani padegi. Ab naatak bandh kar. Yeh sanskaar diye hain humne tujhe? Chal apni patni ko apne kamre mein le jaa, ab sab khaane pe milenge! she said staring at Shivaay, letting him know that she meant each word.
"Anika puttar jaa, fresh ho jaa. Bhook lagi hogi, sab se toh tu mil hi chuki hain! she turned to Anika.
"Main nahi mila Bhabhi se!' Rudra came forward. Shivaay secretly gave him a glare.
"Main bhi nahi mila! added Omkara hesitantly, followed Rudra.
He too received a glare from Shivaay. Whose side his brothers were on!
"You guys look the same like you did 6 months back. OmRu looked shocked at each other.
"Do we also know you?' asked Omkara shocked.
Anika stared at them weirdly. "Uhh..I meant the photos, Shivaay used to show me.
"Oh, you mean my insta pics and all! Rudra said impressed.
"Yes! " she smiled.
"Catch up two later. Chale Jaan!
Shivaay got irked at that. "Jaan Jaan bol ke meri jaan le legi! he said aside.
She held his arm and dragged her bag. While Shivaay simply followed Daadi's order. He had to do something before it was too late.
"Ma'am! They were stopped by a voice. Anika turned. "Yes?
"You left this bag outside. Smiled Khanna widely.
Anika smiled sheepishly-"Oh . Thanks!
"Nice to meet you Ma'am! spoke Khaana smiling.
Shivaay was already fuming. Was anyone on his side? Or had they all swapped sides?
