PART 01
"Siddharth Pratap Rana" he mumbled.
Sid was a far cousin that the OBros hated with all burning passion because of his annoying nature.
"You're too funny, yaar" Anika held her stomach laughing.
Shivaay found himself annoyed seeing them together.For the past week since Sid had arrived Anika and him seemed to always stick together like fevicol.
He realized that Anika not achknowledging his presence anymore,he was almost invisible to her.He missed her blabbering,
her loud words,her fights and her cute expressions though he kept telling himself "Muje koi farak nehi padta"
"O do you smell something burning" Rudra asked sniffing around.
"Ya,Do you smell it too?" Om asked pretending to be amazed.
"Shivaay bhai you seem to be burning every second" Rudra smirked.
Shivaay just walked away muttering his famous "Shut up Rudra"
Time passed and Shivaay locked himself up in the room plotting secretly on how to drive Sid out of Anika's life. Dinner time
arrived and Shivaay walked into the hall to find Anika waving at him smiling so widley. Shivaay was beyond happy about the development but decided to play it cool looking the least affected by ignoring her. He looked up to see Anika pass him and hug Sid.
"Where did you go? Thank you so much for the awesome bracelet you sent me" Anika said.
"Where did you go" Shivaay mimicked. His blood boiled seeing Sid hold Anika's hand.
"That bloody idiot I ,hope he breaks his hand"Shivaay cursed what he didn't see was Om and Rudra silently enjoying the scene taking place infront of them.
"Shivaay bhai has lost it"Rudra commented leaving Om laughing at the background.
"We need to help him" Om finally said.
Om and Rudra walked inside Shivaay's room to find him blabber walking to and fro his blue eyes burning in anger.
"Shivaay what happened?" Om pretended to be clueless.
"Nothing Om just a business rival eying the same contract I want" Shivaay replied.
"Business rival or Siddharth,Business contract or Anika"Rudra piped in freingning innocence.
Shivaay's eyes popped out "What noncense" Shivaay huffed.
"Ok, then we thought about helping you since you ae not need of it we'll leave.Besides tomorrow Anika di is going out for lunch with Sid" Rudra tried to aggrivate him.
"Om let's go" Rudra finally said pulling Om by his elbow.
"Stop! I mean where are you'll going aren't you'll here to help me, I mean it's not like I care, but..." Shivaay stammered.
"we knew it" OmRu said in union in a sing song voice.
"What?" Shivaay questioned arching an eyebrow.
"That you have feelings for Anika" Rudra dreamily said.
"Ok,Ok now ifyou guys are done with your comments tell me what i have to do?" Shivaay asked impatiently.
"I've got an idea" Om said cheekily grinning.
Anika was hastily making the preparations for the wedding trying to wrap up with the work fast to get ready to go for lunch when she heard OmRu having a serious conversation.
"What can we do now O, we have to attend the function the elders have already left but how can we leave bhai in this state?" Rudra looked worried.
"Thats true we need to find someone reliable" Om said.
"what is the matter is there anything I can do to help" Anika asked with genuine concern.
"Actually bhai... It's ok di don't worry you need to get ready, don't you have a lunch to attend to today?"Rudra pretended to be worried.
Before Anika could talk the shrill sound of a glass breaking echoed inside the house. The trio rushed into Shivaay's room to find a pale looking Shivaay lay on the bed with a glass shattered next to his bed.
"What happened Shivaay" Om askes.
"I tries to reach the glass and accidently dropped it" Shivaay dully said.
"You could've called us"Om continued with a serious expression his hands crossed.
"Yes but weren't you'll supposed to attend a party. I thought about training myself to do my work until you guys return" Shivaay commented.
"What happened to Bagad Billa I mean your Bhai" Anika whispered into Rudra's ear.
"Yesterday in a shoot out one of our business rivals shot his leg"Rudra whispered back.
Anika was taken back though she kept telling herself that she hated him it hurt her to see Shivaay like this. He looked pale and fragile she told herself that she liked him beter with attitide dripping with every action of his while he walked around with his Canada sized ego.
"Anika are you ready to go?" Siddhath asked bringing Anika back to her senses.
The OBros frowned at Sid.
widley at his Anika. Yes, His Anika she was his and he was determined to make her know that.
"I'm sorry Sid... I won't be able to make it."Anika said.
"Yes, but an emergency popped up"Anika said
"An emergency"Sid intervened.
"Not an emergency of that sort it's just that i've got to stay back to look after Shivaay"Anika declared.
"But Anika... you don't have to" Shivaay tried to protest.
"Mr.Shivaay Singh Obroi it's my life and my wish, I won't go out I will stay back for you" She cut him halfway leaving behind a shocked Shivaay.
"But..."before Sid could protest OmRu dragged Sid out of the room while Sid just helplessly looked back.Anika and Shivaay
were finally alone the air turned awkward and silence washed in the room.Anika sat in the corner of the bed while Shivaay inwardly
smiled congratulating himself on his victory.
"Ma.. Papa..." Anika screamt as she woke up her face tear stained and her temperature shot up.
Shivaay reached for a hug and mumbled sweet nothings to her ear hoping she'll calm down. She did calm down a little while later but she still kept holding Shivaay's hand and rested her head on his chest while he carassed her hair.
"What happened Anika" Shivaay finally broke the long silence that prevailed.
Anika looked up to meet his blue eyes that mirrored his worry. She thought for a moment a sudden to release her botled up emotions rushed within. She finally decided to let it all out.
