Hidden feelings
Chapter Two
"Morning Everyone" Shiv said as he settled himself in the dinning table for the breakfast. They all greeted him back. He turned to see the seat beside him was empty, Thank God; Behenjee didn't follow me to day! He thought.
Just then gauri emerged from the kitchen holding something in her hand. She smiled as she saw Shiv on the table; she didn't have to wake him today. She sat beside him to notice Shiv frowning. Hurt, she looked away. Why was she thinking so these sorts of things when they were only forced to married?
"Shiv I have a surprise for you today" Mahen said announcing that catches everybody's attention. Nikhila smiled as she knew what it was.
Maybe it was a ticket to getaway from Behenjee he thought. He smiled.
"Me and mom decided that since you have been working so hard, we decided to give you a break" Mahen. Shiv smiled as knowing he knew what it would be.
"So I have got ticked for you two for honeymoon in London and Paris for two weeks!"
Everyone cheered while Shiv's smiling face turned into frown. Only if she wasn't here, he could be enjoying himself with his own wish.
Gauri felt herself so weak and nervous, Honeymoon that too with him?? She could be dead. She was only alive for his family and if they weren't there it would be like hell to him. She turned to see him glaring at her.
"Dad, I can't make it, you know I have not finished the project with Khanna's enterprise." He said, hoping to get away with it.
"Son, if I were you I would be doing anything to get away with it. Don't worry about the project Vivan can handle it? Your flight is today in the evening"
"So early!"
-*-*-*-*-
Gauri paced in the room with her mind confused on what to do. She hasn't seen Shiv since the breakfast. As she turned around she saw Shiv in front of her.
"What are you doing?" Shiv asked her.
Surprised at his calmness, "I-I didn't know what to do. I mean -"
He cut her by saying, "We are going, get packing and we'll eave in about two hours. Do you need help in packing?" he said.
She looked at him surprised, was it the Shiv kapoor she knew or may be she's dreaming. She closed her eyes and opened it again; he was still there starring at her confused.
"Gauri, it's me Shiv and you're not dreaming!"
Oh my God, he knew what I was thinking. She blushed yet at the same time excitement crept in her. She was going to honeymoon, may be things weren't that bad as she thought.
Shiv smirked mentally, it was the time he shows her what her honeymoon with Shiv is like.
"I'll pack my suitcase and you do yours and it'll be lot quicker. Do you want to go for shopping or something?"
Gauri smiled, he was so caring and how wrong she thought of him, "It's O.K and I am fine". Shiv smiled back at her.
They both got busy in the packing of their own stuff. Shiv saw Gauri packing all his Sarees in, he shook his head in disgust, she's too dumb to understand what kind of clothing is worn outside India. May be it's her first time there. After all she is from some low village, what do you expect, Shiv? He thought laughingly. Village people can be fooled so easily and they are nothing more just dumb ass!
Gauri changed herself in red sari and wore light jewellery. She and Shiv bid good byes to the family and left for the airport.
"Sir, since you are here first, would you like to have any special seats in first class?" asked the boarder assistant.
Shiv smirked; he looked around to see Gauri sitting in the chair. "Sure, Make sure my ticket is far away from this person (he showed Gauri's ticket) and I don't care which seat you give. Just far away from that person"
The assistant looked at him for a moment and smiled. He worked for a moment in a computer and did his work and handed the boarding cards to him.
"Thank you" Shiv said at last and left.
Both Shiv and Gauri sat in the waiting area, near their destined gate number. Gauri was busy in reading some magazine, while Shiv was just looking around. Just then his eyes caught pretty lady site, who wore tight jeans and top. He winked at her.
Gauri was hardly reading the magazine, it was just an excuse to make her self busy not nervous in front of him. May be she should start to make a conversation with him, she saw him looking at some lady. Disturbed, she looked away. May be she was right all along.
The announcement of their flight came in and they both stood in the queue. They then made their way to the tunnel that was connected with plane. Shiv felt gauri eyes wander everywhere as if she was looking at this for the first time. He smirked. Then they entered the plane greeted by Air host.
Gauri and Shiv went to First class entrance. Shiv's seat was at the back and Gauri was in the front but they were in the same row. Shiv went his way and saw Gauri following him; he stopped and looked at her.
"Gauri what are you doing? You're not supposed to be here, you're seat is in the front" he led her to her assigned seat and told her, he was at the back. Gauri nodded nervously.
As Shiv settled himself into the seat, he nearly burst into laughter seeing her face. The seat beside him was empty, only cool rich people or hot woman can afford these types of seats. He closed his eyes and rested.
After few minutes he heard the noise of the seat next to him. He thought of opening his eyes when the plane will start moving. Just then he heard the instructions about safety. He felt the plane move; he could imagine Gauri getting scared about it.
Shiv opened his eyes sweetly in a way that all girls drool over him. To his horror, he saw an ugly, hideous and not to mention fat as in 100 pounds looking girl staring at him. His eyes nearly popped put when he saw her smiling at him. He looked away cursing at his own stupid idea.
Gauri looked outside the window in excitement. As the plane left the ground in speed, she sat back and closed her eyes.
"What would you like to have madam?" An air host asked her as she had a trolley of drinks with her.
The man beside her has been engrossed in magazine from a start. She smiled at the lady, "A coke would be fine" The airhost looked at the Guy, "What about you sir?"
"Same as the lady"
Gauri felt as if she has known the person, the voice felt so known. The air host handed the drinks to them and moved. Only if he moves the magazine away then she'll know. Unable to hide it, she snatched the magazine from him.
She looked up at the guy in surprise, "Karan!"
Karan smiled at her. Gauri hugged him in excitement. "What are you doing here?"
"Sir what would you like to have?" Shiv diverted his attention from the window to the Host. "Coke" And the host smiled at him and asked the lady. The lady blushed and replied, "Ji, I want to have same as him"
Shiv looked at her annoyingly, what was her problem. That was it; he's going to sit next to gauri.
"What I am doing here? I should be asking you?" Karan said sipping the can.
Gauri smiled, "I'm here on holiday" That was the right words she can find.
"On your own?"
"With husband"
"Gauri, you're married" He moved to hug her and in the same time Shiv entered the scne and looked at them two in surprise. Shocked yet furious to see them.
"Ahem ahem". Gauri pulled away to see Shiv standing there. She smiled at him. "Are you o.k. Shiv?"
Shiv smiled, "I was coming to check on you"
Gauri smiled, "Shiv this is Karan my friend and Karan this is my husband"
Shiv lifted his eye-brow at her as in boy friend. What was he thinking; this Behenjee has managed to pull good looking guys as friends. They both shook their hands. He waited for few moments to see Karan chatting to gauri not seeing as he's her husband and not allowing him to take his seat. How rude? He thought and went back to his own seat to see the lady still blushing.
