Shot Four
Anika sat there, hand caressing Shivaay's hair at he knelt in front of her talking to their baby. The feeling of that moment total bliss. She finally had a family, people to call her own apart from Sahil, someone who loved her and wanted to make her happy. But even as she watched the most beautiful scene of her life play out in front of her and felt her heart swell with contentment and love, she felt something amiss. What's wrong with me? Here I am with the man I love, and who actually loves me back, yet my mind keeps looking for thing to phailao! I admit that we still have a lot of things to clear up but we're together and that's what matters the most. I just want to relish this moment of feeling complete. We'll have days, w... She gasped and instantly stilled on realising what her mind was trying to remind her all this while. Tears formed in her eyes blinding her as her heart clenched painfully.
Shivaay, who had been enjoying the feeling of fatherhood by talking to their baby, looked up as he felt Anika's hands drop away from his hair. Scared by what he saw, he jumped to his feet. "Anika" he called out to her, touching her cheek lightly, but she just remained still, crying silently making him feel more distressed. "Anika, what is wrong? Please talk to me" he whispered to her, afraid of raising his voice in case it made things worse but he didn't get any reaction from her. Fear gripping his heart, he felt like he'd been shot again. Unable to bear seeing her like this and feeling frustrated on not knowing what had happened to make her cry like this, he held her shoulders and shook her "Anika! Stop this! Tell me what's wrong. Please" he whispered the last part, pulling her up from the bed to bring her closer to him, hugging her to his chest while we arms just stayed at her sides, tears still falling.
When she finally spoke, it was Shivaay who stilled, his hold on her loosening, the pain in his chest increasing as his heart clenched painfully. "We're getting divorced"
No, No, No. She can't...We just...I told her...She can't leave me! I. Won't. Let. Her! Iloveher. She can't go. His world that had just slipped off its axis righted itself as his heart gave him courage and the grip on her that had loosened, tightened again as he roared at her "NO! I said I will make things right so what is the need for a divorce?! If you think I will let you go, Anika, then you are sadly mistaken. Shivaay Singh Oberoi doesn't let go of the people he loves!" Seeing her cry even harder at his words, he pressed his lips to her temple and said in a soft, hoarse voice as his eyes filled with tears "Please, iloveyou". Sayings those words his eyes shed a tear. Shivaay Singh Oberoi was crying once again for his Love. For the woman who had become his reason to live. For the person who challenged him every day and every minute. For the one his heart belonged to. For Anika.
Feeling Shivaay's tears on her cheek and hearing his words, Anika snapped out of her daze and looked up at him confused. He's the one divorcing me but he's acting as if I asked him for a divorce. Bipolar Anika. He's bipolar. Tsserk! Leaving the voices in her head to battle it out she reach up and touched Shivaay cheek, waiting for him to open his eyes. And when he did, Anika felt her breath catch in her throat. "Shivaay" she whispered shocked at seeing him look so distraught. He looked at her and said "Why do you want a divorce Anika? We will make things work. We will be ok. So why do you want this?" And her expression mirrored his confused one, not understanding what was going on, he waited for her to speak again.
"Huh? What are you saying? You're the one who wants a divorce! You made me sign those damn papers! Don't you remember?!" She pushed against his chest as she threw those words at him, trying to get out of his hold. But her efforts halted on seeing his eyes darken, it didn't send out warning bells tho', infact quite the opposite. Her pulse rate rose, her breathing got deeper, her cheeks warmed up and before she knew it her husband was kissing her senseless. Left with no choice but to hold onto him tighter, she kissed him back. Shivaay. Sensing his anger, fear, frustration and most of all Love through his kiss, Anika sighed internally, she was confused but she wasn't going to complain about kissing her husband. Especially when he was in his full senses. There was just something magically beautiful about being this close to the one person who owned your heart. And Anika's heart never felt happier.
Making sure they were both thoroughly breathless, Shivaay pulled back, shifted her head to his chest, right above his irregular beating heart and waited until they both caught their breath. Damn this woman will be the death of me...But aren't you feeling a bit too smug!...Who wouldn't? Smiling to himself as his thoughts replayed the kiss, he didn't notice Anika look up at him confused until she poked his chest. "Ouch! Anika!" He told her sternly but his eyes showed that he was still in the after-effects of kissing her. Remembering what had caused all of this he dropped his hold on her and started pacing the length of the room. "Don't ever do that again! Don't freeze up like that again Anika. If something is wrong then you will damn well talk to me " And his tadi was back
Anika caught onto Shivaay's arm to stop his pacing "Shivaay, did you forget that we're going to get divorced? Tia is still here with your so called child and". Shivaay turned around, silencing her by giving her his SSO stare while holding up his hand "My child is here Anika" he said pointing to her stomach "So please, don't ever again say Tia's baby is mine!" his cold eyes meeting her teary ones "As for the divorce, I never wanted to make you sign those papers, hell, I didn't even want to divorce you. I didn't sign, Anika. It was fake. I faked it". Running his hand, SSO style, through his hair, he sat down on the sofa, gesturing for her to follow. Making sure they both were comfortable, he told her..."I have a lot to tell you, Mrs Shivaay Singh Oberoi"
*************************
9 Months Later
"Bhabi c'mon, you have to make our team win. Somu will not let us be in peace if we lose. She will gloat for days and make me eat parantha's" Rudra told Anika as she duck walked to stand in the centre of the room. Saumya turned to Rudra and stuck her tongue out at him and said "Don't act like you haven't started liking parantha's" to which everyone laughed. Rudra looked down and muttered something that sounded to Anika like "it's only because they're your favourite".
Smiling at the cuteness of her devar, she took her place in front of everyone. And stood there for a few minutes just watching the beautiful scene of her family. My family. They're mine. It had been 9 months since the Oberoi's became Anika's and Anika had become theirs. Shivaay had kept true to his word. He had made things right. He had righted all the wrong he did. Tia and her family were exposed. Anika was given full rights and respect, among family and the public, as the eldest Oberoi bahu. Pinky had slowly grown to love Anika and Anika loved her back. He had set things right for Om by bringing bade ma and bade papa back together. Saumya and Rudra were mending their 'relationship'. Om had found his partner in Gauri. And basically all was well in Oberoi Mansion.
Anika watched her family laugh and gently rubbed her belly. You're going to have the most khidkitod family. So many people who will love you, play with you, help you grow. You will never feel like you don't belong or you are alone. You will want for nothing my baby. Mamma is waiting for you. "And papa is too" She looked to her side startled, and found a smiling Shivaay who looked at content as she felt. How did he know? Hand on her tummy, he kissed her cheeks lightly after making sure no one was looking and replied to her unasked question "I always know, Anika. Ohh and iloveyou". Leaving her blushing he went back to his seat next to Dadi who had tears of happiness in her eyes. Shaking her head at her husband's antics she realised things had quietened down.
"Uhm ok, let's start" She told them, trying to hide her blush after she got knowing looks and not so subtle winks from everyone. They were playing dumb charades, a usual habit every night since things had gotten normal in the Mansion. They would all sit in the lounge and play games, chat or just relax with each other. Today Anika had suggested that they play dumb charades as she had decided that she made Shivaay wait long enough to hear her say 'iloveyou'. She wanted to make her proposal abit different so she thought of expressing it through this. Breathing in deeply she started to sign.
Shivaay watched his wife glow as she stood in the centre of the room. All attention on her, it was where she belonged. At the centre of his family. Because to be honest, she was the heart of this family. Everyone was connected to the other through her. She was the power bank that fed energy to him and his family. Without her their lives would be dark. Anika was their heart. She was his heart. Mine. She's mine. He watched his wife start her turn of the game, mischievous smile on her face with an undertone of blush. Knowing she was up to something, he waited, watching her every move. Maybe today is the day she says it?.. Even if she doesn't, I will wait.
She started to sign 'I', but the next instant her piercing scream resonated throughout the Mansion. She held her stomach as pain shot through her. "SHIVAAY". Everyone froze, Time standing still as they all looked at Anika. Silence except for her heavy breathing. And then "Arre bhabi, this one is so easy, anyone can guess that it's someone who's going into labour" Rudra said as he walked towards Anika, rolling his eyes wondering why his bhabi was making things so easy. And the next minute he was pushed back into his seat as Shivaay and Om rushed to Anika, the rest of the family also running towards her. The flurry of movement confusing him until he heard his Shivaay bhaiya roar "GET THE DAMN CAR" ... Anika bhabi was going into labour
*****************************
"Anika, breathe baby. You'll be ok. We're almost there..OM FOR GOD'S SAKE, I DON'T CARE HOW MANY TRAFFIC RULES YOU BREAK. GET US THERE IN THE NEXT 2 MINUTES!" Shivaay said the first part gently to a hyperventilating Anika while wiping her forehead as she leaned on him in the back seat, and the second part was shouted at Om who was driving the car. His stomach felt upset from all the pain and fear he was feeling. Seeing Anika in this much agony was making him feel so helpless. Not now Shivaay, be strong for her. She needs you. "OM!"
"Shivaay I'm driving as fast as I can without causing as accident. Shouting won't magically make the distance to the hospital shorter!" Om said through gritted teeth. I know he's worried but how can he change from loving husband to deranged father to be in seconds. God help us all until my nephew or niece arrives. He sighed and applied alittle more pressure to the accelerator.
"O', doesn't it seem like bhaiya is the one who is in labour" Rudra whispered to Om from the passenger seat as he heard Shivaay take deep breaths instead of Anik bhabi. "Shut up, Rudra!"
**************************
They reached the hospital in exactly 3 minutes, with the rest of the family arriving just a minute after. Anika was immediately taken to the delivery theatre while Shivaay had to stay back and fill out some forms. Though he looked like he would have rather murdered the nurse who told him to fill the forms before going, he filled, signed it and rushed to Anika. He saw his family waiting outside the theatre room, some praying, some excitedly waiting, others holding onto each other unable to stay still and in spite of being scared, he smiled as he took in the picture. They're Anika's. Every last one of them. Smile disappearing as he heard Anika's, he started panicking, it broke his heart hearing her in so much of pain. Rushing to the door he put his hand out to open it when the doctor came out looking slightly harassed and tired already.
Everyone stood up on seeing the doctor exit the room. Shivaay was on full alert, but before he could speak the doctor said in a hurried voice "Who is Billuji'? Mrs Oberoi says that unless Billuji isn't by her side, she will not give birth" Turning to a wide eye, red earred Shivaay she said sternly "Mr Oberoi, please come in and explain to your wife that she needs to give birth now, she's ready and also make her understand that cats aren't allowed in the hospital. She can see her cat after she gives birth" and the poor doctor was met with a rare sight of seeing Mr Shivaay Singh Oberoi suspended between embarrassment and glaring a deadly stare. Laughter erupted all around and the doctor looked at the Oberoi's confused. What? Are they delusional?...Gosh, I don't have time for this.
"Actually, Dr Raichand, I'm Billuji'" Shivaay said to a highly confused looking doctor, who just looked even more confused when Shivaay answered her. Clearing his throat, he explained again hurriedly as he heard another scream from inside "She calls me Billuji...Can we go in now?" The doctor smiled and nodded, walking inside quickly to hide her laugh. Glaring at his family members, he did his SSO signature move and walked inside the room to his screaming wife. If I didn't love her so bloody much, I would definitely have killed her...But damn I love her calling me Billuji...Yes but at home it's fine, in pu...Hearing Anika yell his name broke his thought process and he rushed to her side. "Shivaay" Now she calls me Shivaay. This woman!
"Anika, I'm here. I'm here" He told her soothingly, wiping the sweat that had formed on her forehead. He pushed her hair back and kissed her on her temple. "C'mon now, you have to do as the doctors says ok. For our baby, Anika. Please". Taking hold of her hand, he waited for her to bring their baby into their world. Feeling her painfully tighten her hold on his hand, she screamed as she gave him another reason to love her even more.
**********************************
4 painful hours later, an exhausted Shivaay rested his forehead against Anika's sweaty one thanking God for keeping him conscious. Even though all he had done was comfort Anika inbetween her cursing of him and the lodge in Shimla, he felt tired to the bone. In these 4 hours his respect for women grew 10 fold, and his respect and love for his wife grew by double that. He was amazed by how much of pain she had endured and yet she had still managed to smile when she heard the baby's cry as their baby finally entered their world. When the doctor tapped the baby's bottom, Shivaay had seen red. He knew that it was procedure but he still hadn't been able to bear it. He had given the doctor a blazing look to which the doctor replied in an exasperated voice "Mr Oberoi, calm down, it's procedure" and then she proceeded to wipe and clothe the baby.
Anika opened her eyes, feeling strangely bereft, and was immediately met with misty blue-green eyes that was mixed with dark and light shades at the moment. She smiled at him and saw him lean down to kiss her forehead. "Thank you" he told her, his voice thick with emotion.. She raised her hand feebly and cupped his cheek "I'm amazed that you're still conscious. I remember that time I hurt my hand and you couldn't even apply the ointment fearing it would burn. Ohh how you screamed that day" She laughed as she recounted the memory, but winced at the pain that shot through her body. Seeing him wince as well, she caressed his cheek and asked "Are you ok?"
Amazed at how she was worried about him even though she was the one in pain, he nodded slowly as he stared at the most beautiful person in his life. The one he loved with every essence of his being. Anika, iloveyou. Thank you for giving everything I didn't know I needed. "Mr & Mrs Oberoi, your baby girl. Congratulations again" Dr Raichand interrupted them, by walking over with their baby bundled in a white blanky. "Shivaay, take her" Anika said softly, after she saw his hesitation. He took their baby in his arms and he felt like he was holding his entire wealth. Our baby. A perfect combination of both of us. "Look Billuji, she has your kanji eyes. But she has my cheeks and hair" Anika said excitedly after Shivaay had sat down on her bed so she could see their baby as well. "She's perfect" He replied in a revered tone.
"Shivaay" Anika waited to get his attention, for his kanji eyes to meet hers. When they did and she saw the love reflecting in them, she said the words he had patiently waited for. The words that just made everything even more perfect.
"iloveyou Shivaay"
