It had been raining since last night.He was sleeping cuddling to his beautiful wife.Her head rested on his chest,exactly where his heart was.He slowly opened his eyes when his phone beeped indicating it was time to wake up.She too woke up.Planting a good morning kiss on her forehead,he wished,
"Happy second anniversary,my love."
"Same to you,Bagad Billa."She wished him back.
"Don't call me that,Panika"he warned.
"Stop calling me Panika then."She said matching his voice.
"Ok,Ok.Let's not get into an argument today.You freshen up and I shall serve you with your favourite aloo puri"He said smiling.
She pulled his shirt that was lying on the edge of the bed,wore it and went to the washroom blushing.They celebrated the occasion at night.Smiling to himself he got an idea.He jumped out of his bed and went to freshen up in Om's room.
After half an hour,she came out taking a shower wearing a red Saree.Getting all dressed up,she moved towards the kitchen area,where she was sure her hubby-dearest would be.But she found it empty.She searched the whole area but couldn't find him.The house was unusually silent today.Only her and him were in the house.Rest of the family went to attend a relative's wedding but she couldn't as her hubby,Mr.Workaholic Singh Oberoi had a meeting to attend.Though the family members would be back by evening to celebrate their marriage anniversary.
Suddenly her phone rang and she made a mad dash to their room.The screen flashed SSO.She received the call hurriedly as if her life depended on it.
"Where are you,Shivaay?Where did you go without telling me."She shot with questions.
"Relax my jaan.I'm very much in the house.Come to the terrace .A surprise waits you here."he replied from the other side.
Cutting the call,she went to the terrace .A small table with two chairs facing each other were there.On it two cups-one held his espresso and the other one held her green tea,a plate full of her favourite aloo puri and a bottle of champagne.She wondered how rain wasn't falling on them given that they were in the terrace,when her eyes fall on a automated roof.Rudra had insisted that they get one so that when it was raining they still can sit here.
A strong pair of hands grabbed her by her waist.She knew very well to whom these hands belonged to.
"May I have the pleasure to dance with you ma'am?asked Shivaay,going onto his knees stretching his one hand to her.She slide her hand into his in return.
Tu safar mera
Hai tu hi meri manzil
Tere bina guzara
Ae dil hai mushkil
Tu mera Khuda
Tu hi duaa mein shaamil
Tere bina guzara
Ae dil hai mushkil
Mujhe aazmaati hai teri kami
Meri har kami ko hai tu laazmi
Junoon hai mera
Banoon main tere qaabil
Tere bina guzaara
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
"I love you,Anika."he whispered touching her earlobe with his lips.
"I love you, Shivaay."She repeated kissing his cheek.
Both of them took their seats and enjoyed their little blissful moment chatting about everything to everyone,arguing occasionally.
"I'll be right back and then we shall open the champagne to celebrate it my way."saying so he left to send an important email.
Anika on the other hand,opened it and gulped two glasses.She always wondered how it taste.Whenever she would go with Shivaay to a party,she would see all other women would drink it.Shivaay never asked her to be like them as he knew she didn't drink.All he would do was just tapping his glass with her soft drink but there was that craving in her to taste it once.And today she got the chance.
The champagne was doing its work and she patted herself for coming up with this idea.
Shivaay came back apologizing for making her wait when his eyes fell on her and his eyes grew wider. He instantly scanned the table and understood she was drunk now.
.
"Anika,get down from there right now."Shivaay shouted.
"Don't come near Shivaay,else,else I'll jump from here."Anika fake warned him,trying to maintain her balance.She was standing on the wall of the terrace which was slippery now due to the rain.
"Ok fine just get down damn it."Shivaay ordered giving a hand to her.
"Don't boss around me Bagad Billa.I'll only come down if you agree to my demand."she said balancing her right foot again.
"Anika! Just get down from here.I'll agree to all your demands just..just come down."he replied pleading.
"Ok that means you won't stop me from calling you Bagad Billa,Billu ji."Anika clapped her hands in excitement.
"What?Yeah,yeah now just hold my hand and come down."he held his hand to her.
She was about to grab his hand when her feet slipped.
Anika!!
Shivaay woke up with a start from yet another nightmare.Sweat beads on his forehead.He immediately looked down at the bed where she,hisAnika was sleeping.He let go off the breath that he was holding for so long. Sighing he creased her cheeks lovingly and later placed a soft kiss as if not trying to disturb her sleeping form.He left an ironic chuckle at the thought of disturbing her sleeping form.There was time when she used to disturb him in his sleep with her antics and now she did with her nightmares.Only difference was earlier he could scold her but now even if he yelled she would not retote back like before.He took a glance at the machine hooked to her.He thought back at the memory.It had been one year now to the incident which changed his world upside down.
"Anika hold my hand and get down,now"
She slipped from the 5th floor.Shivaay rushed down to her.Blood oozing from her body.Carrying her in his muscular arms he got her into his car and sped to the nearby hospital.
He placed outside the OT when the Dr. came with the worst news of his life,
"I'm sorry Mr.Oberoi!Even though we could save her but she slipped to coma."
Shivaay was brought back to his past when he heard the door knob clicked.Om and Rudra came rushing to his room when they heard him scream.It was a regular occurrence in their house.Every night after all retrieving to bed this exact scenario would follow.
"Are you Ok?"both of them asked in unison.
"Yeah,I'm fine.Go back to sleep."followed the usually answer.
After his brothers left,he started talking to her like always.He would tell about his day,Rudra's antics,Om's new sculptures everything hoping she would react at any of these things.He even went out of his way making fun of himself but still no response came from her.His body,his soul longed for her touch,her feel.
Yeh rooh bhi meri
Yeh jism bhi mera
Utna mera nahi
Jitna hua tera
Tune diya hai jo
Woh dard hi sahi
Tujhse mila hai toh
Inaam hai mera
Mera aasmaan dhoondhe teri zameen
Meri har kami ko hai tu laazmi
Zameen pe na sahi
Toh aasmaan mein aa mil
Tere bina guzara
Ae dil hai mushkil
But he would always make him understand that he was fortunate.At least she was still alive and there was a chance of her coming out of coma,even if it was as faint as his own heartbeat seemed to him.He was barely alive without her but still he was surviving and so would she,he knew.
The next morning brought a new ray of light into his life.Every morning he would wake up hoping this morning would hold something new.Finally that day came.It brought something new with.Only not what he was hoping for.He was still holding her hand and it was getting cold now.Every second felt like years to now.With every breath he took,it was becoming hard for him to let go of the breath.He looked around the empty room and wanted to yell, but he had to be strong in front of her. There was a beeping sound of the machine hooked to her and then it stopped. He saw a flat line on the screen with a long never ending beep. She took her last breath and he just kept looking at her.
Shivaay stood up,moved back from her lifeless body not taking his eyes off her.He placed his hand to his heart to check if he was even breathing.With a sharp u-turn he marched out of the room.Om and rudra who were coming to check on shivaay,ran immediately towards his room.From past one year Shivaay would hardly come out from his room and today he left the house without even a word.What they saw upon entering the room took the ground from under their feet.
Shivaay sat in his office trying desperately to hold back his tears.He came from there because he knew the battle was lost.The lifeline he was so dreadfully clinging to for his life had now sneaked out of his hold.He lost.The great Shivaay Singh Oberoi had lost his life to fate.He was living,his heart was beating even though meekly but it still was beating and he knew what to do.
He got up from his chair and went back to his house.He went right past Anika's body which was now lying on the hall.All family members called out to him but he turned a deaf ear to them.He looked himself in his room.He could here everyone banging at his door but he couldn't care less.Shivaay moved to the large sized photo frame of their wedding hung on the wall of their room.He creased her picture and a lone tear finally made its way from his otherwise blue eyes,which was now red.
Maana ki teri maujoodgi se
Ye zindagani mehroom hai
Jeene ka koi dooja tareeka
Na mere dil ko maaloom hai
Tujhko main kitni
Shiddat se chaahun
Chaahe toh rehna tu be-khabar
With that he picked up the knife from the fruit bowl that was kept in his room.
He opened his room and started walking towards the terrace.Everyone grasped in horror when they saw blood traces following him.they all followed him.
Shivaay woked up to the wall from where Anika fell one year back.
Mohtaaz manzil ka toh nahi hai
Ye ek tarfa mera safar, safar
Khoobsurat hai manzil se bhi
Meri har kami ko hai tu laazm
He knew he was going to hurt his family badly but he also knew the pain he was going through now wouldn't let him live which in turn wouldn't let his family to live.And for the first time in his life he became selfish.For the first time he put himself first. Closing his eyes he smiled to himself knowing he was only a fall away from reuniting with the love of his life.Before his family member could catch him,he fell from the 5th floor and a loud sound could be heard.
Adhura hoke bhi
Hai ishq mera kaamil
Tere bina guzara
Ae dil hai mushkil
Shivaay's eyes blurred with all the tears that formed in them and he was losing his consciousness,He could see Anika waiting with her arms open for him on the other end. Teardrops streamed out freely from his eyes as he took his final breath with a satisfied smile adorn his lips.
Om's chain of thoughts broke when he heard Rudra calling to him.People started to gather to pay their respect to the eldest grandson-grand-daughter in law of the Oberoi family in their first death anniversary.Om clenched tightly to the note that he got from Shivaay's hand on wicked day.

SORRY
