"Don't you think you should take a break now,Shivaay?"Shivaay looked up from his file when he heard Om.
"It's a new company that we over took so I've to be there and you already know that."said Shivaay,keeping the file in his travelling bag.
"I'll be fine and will be back soon.So relax."Shivaay said when Om didn't say anything.
"Shivaay,do you even realize all these extra work is taking a toll on your body.Stop doing so much of work to just for namesake!You and I both knew,very well,why you are involving yourself in every damn little things in the name of work."said Om with irritation clearly visible on his face and tone.
"If you think being an workaholic will help you run away from her memories,then I'm sorry to inform you,it won't.Because you'll fall sick and end up remembering her even more,instead."Om continued,reminding Shivaay of the time when he fall sick and was calling Anika in his sleep.
"What else am I suppose to do,Omkara?The girl I love went away from me without saying anything as to where she was going,why was she leaving." retored back an angry Shivaay."Hell,I couldn't even tell her that I love her!" He was frustrated that he couldn't find her even after using everything in his power.
It had been a year now since he last saw her.Anika went missing the day Shivaay was supposed to marry Tia.He called it off when he realized he loved her giving a dakm about his usual "khandan ki izzat rant".He went the very next moment to her house but her bua informed Anika left with Sahil, where she didn't know.
Rubbing his temple with his fingers,Shivaay got up from sitting position and continued,
"Let's not talk about it.I'm getting late.Take care of dadi and Rudra and yourself." He hugged Om and went away.
"I hope you get your Anika back,soon."Om sent a silent prayer asking the God,to give his brother his life back.
"Hurry up guys,the new boss will be here any time.Bring the welcome cake quickly."shouted a young lady, grabbing everyone's attention.
"Ani,relax!Sid is bringing it." All other employee shouted back.
"If Sid is bringing it then I can relax." Anika replied, exhaling dramatically.
"Talk of the devil and here he comes."pointed out one of the employee,named Soumya.
"Oh Sid,you are such a life savior."Anika side hugged him.
"Yo love-birds,we are in office,remember." Somuya spoke earning a glaring from Anika.
"Ani ,I think you should go to the washroom and be a little more presentable.You are thePA after all."said Soumya,trying to divert Anika. Anika looked herself through the glass door and realized she was having a bad hair day.
"I'll be right back.Meanwhile, you guys stay here and welcome him if he comes."saying so Anika left for washroom.
"What is the name of the new boss by the way?" Soumya asked.
"I don't know. Prakash sir said,new boss wants to introduce himself to us."replied Siddhart. "Here he comes."
The Oberoi Industries took over the Prakash Enterprise,which was in pune.Being the CEO,Shivaay,himself had to come.As soon as he entered the office premises, a familiar gush or air passed him. Momentarily,he froze.His heart wanted to believe what he felt but his mind said otherwise.
"Shivaay,everything ok?"asked Prakash.
"Such a sexy name.He is also sexy."whispered some female employees.
Shaking his head,Shivaay entered and started scanning everyone in the room,hoping to see the face his heart was yearning for.Disappoint was all he got in return.
After introducing Shivaay to everyone,Prakash took his leave.
"Where is Ani.."She is in the washroom,actually.I'll call her."Soumya cut Prakash.
"No,it ok.I'll like to be alone for some time."said Shivaay,before Soumya went to call Anika."Please send me a cup of Espresso."
"Sure sir."Soumya smiled to him before leaving.
Shivaay closed his eyes and leaned back to his chair,trying to calm both his heart and mind.
"Ani!What are you still doing here?New boss has come already and he is waiting for his Espresso now.So please make it quickly since you make the best espresso."Soumya said excitedly.
Anika took a sharp breath at this.Every time she would make it,she would get reminder of Shivaay.Brushing her thoughts,she made it and was about to go to Shivaay's cabin when her phone rang.
"Ani,I forgot an important file in the store room so please send it by anyone soon."a worried Prakash said.
"Somu,please take the cup to the boss I've an urgent task to do."Anika handed the espresso to Soumya.
"Where is the PA?I need all the files right now on my desk."Shivaay asked Soumya when she kept his espresso in the table.
"Actually Prakash sir called Ani,I mean Anika for some work so.."
As soon as he heard the name,he froze,again!He stood up with a jerk.
"What?Did you just say Anika?"Shivaay asked holding his breath.
"Yes!She is your PA."Soumya answered not understanding his situation.
"Where is she now?"Shivaay opened the door of his cabin and peeked outside looking for her.
"I'll call her." replied Soumya,confusion evident in her face.
Shivaay looked every corner of the office area,when his eyes fell on Anika.His eyes grew wider sharply and for the third time in the day,he froze.His heart skipped a beat or two and he wondered how he was still alive when he was sure he was holding onto his breath for so long now.All kind of emotions were rushing through him.The relief of finally having seen her after one long year,the craving to hold her close to him into a bone-crashing hug,the urge to tell her that he loved her,how much he missed her,what she meant to him,everything!His vision was becoming cloudy due to the formation of tears.
Anika felt,someone's gaze.She looked up but found none and so she went back to chatting with Siddhart.
As soon as Shivaay felt she was about to look at his direction,he hid behind the wall of his cabin.The rush of emotion was so strong that he simply didn't know what to do.Somewhere in the back of his mind,he was afraid that if he approaches her,he might lose her.And probably this time,forever.As much as he wanted to confront her for leaving him,he didn't want to take any chance,what if it was another dream of his,for this time he couldn't take it.
Shivaay paced back and forth in his cabin,trying to get his emotion under-control,but with every passing second it was becoming harder for him,to stay away from her.The love of his life was right in the same palace,only a door separating them from view-point.From the sheer intensity of his own heartbeat,he was now sure,it wasn't a dream.She was right there.
Shivaay flung open the door and started walking to where he saw her.But she wasn't there anymore.He ran his fingers through his hair, cursing himself for not approaching her as soon as he saw her.He looked everywhere frantically hoping he would catch a glimpse of her.Luck was indeed in his favour today.He saw Anika running towards the terrace or so he thought.Without thinking anything,he ran after her,as if he would die if she got away from his sight.
Soumya called out to him but today he couldn't care less.The whole office employees looked perplexed.Soumya and Siddhart exchanged a baffled look.
Shivaay reached the terrace,panting for his breathing.He looked everywhere and was praying at the sametime,to find her.He moved slowly towards the end of the terrace.Like it was his heart's second nature,to feel her presence even before his eyes could see her,he exhaled heavily.Before his mind could register,his hand moved on its own accord and grabbed her hand from his behind.Anika wastrying to sneak away from him,but like always he felt her presence and caught her off guard.
Anika was once again dumfounded at his instinct whenever it came to her and before she knew,Shivaay pinned her against a pillar.He kept looking at her face trying to grasp any change."She is still the same."he thought.Anika,on the other hand,was struggling to get herself free from his grip.It wasn't easy for her staying away from him,not when she saw him after a year."He belongs to Tia."her mind screamed to her and she pushed him with all her force.
Shivaay took a few steps back due to the sudden force but he was quick enough to hold her in his arms into a tight,secure hug.
"Why?Why did you leave me Anika?Why?" Shivaay asked,in a pleading voice.Tears streaming down his face.The surge of feeling was so intense that he didn't fell like hiding them.
"Because you were getting married to the love of your life."Anika finally said,after a long pause.Hurt apparent in her voice.
He pulled away from her and left a chuckle.The love of his life was saying someone else as his love of life.
"I suppose you never read newspaper in a year now."He said directly looking in her eyes.She looked at him, amused.
"I did NOT get married to Tia.I called it off."
Anika kept on looking at him.He continued,"Because,Tia Was Not,Is Not and Never Will be the love of my life."
"God,Anika don't you even realize why I called off the wedding and now trying to tell the reason for it.You know that I'm not expressive much about my feelings. I can't talk about my feelings freely and still you aren't understanding.Beacuse I love you damn it.I love you."Shivaay confessed,in the heat of the moment.
Anika blinked her eyed repeatedly and rapidly and then pinched herself to make sure she wasn't dreming.Shivaay laughed at little at this.
"You are not dreaming,Panika."he assured her.
"Don't call me that,Baggad Billa."Anika retorted back,after composing herself.Ah,how much he had missed her calling him that.
"How did you end up her?"
"Sid...Siddhart is a friend of mine and so he talked to his earlier boss, to hire me and that how I landed here."
"But you've still not said those words." He whispered.
"Which words?" she asked blushing.
"Just say those words,else I can go back to Tia, you know."he blackmailed.
"That's not at all funny,billu ji." She glared at him.
"For heaven-sake Ankia,don't call me that."Shivaay said, irritated.
"Then don't ever joke about this,again."Anika warned.
"Then say those words,Now!"he waited."Anika,if you now don't say it.I'll kiss you"he leaned to her when she blurted out of fear,
"I love you,Shivaay."
"Say it again.''
"I..I love you."
"Anika,You've no idea how long I've waited to hear this."Shivaay hugged her and kissed her forehead.
"And you've no idea how much I suffered thinking you with Tia."
"No more suffering,for both of us."he guaranteed.
They both sat on the floor hugging each other when Anika asked,
"How did you know I was behind you,when you didn't even see me?"
"I Sensed You!" he smiled at her.
"Aww Sid!Anika loves SSO.Now what will happen to you?"Soumya teased Siddhart.
"You are there,na."he winked.
"Shut up,get back to work." With that they left the place.
