Thanks for taking time to drop the comments.

Note:

Firstly, that made me make Shivaay's softer version in the recent OS is the patience and softness she shows when he sees Annika is feeling low. I must admit, men in general, many a times, just blow the head off when they don't get proper reply from their women. Its their basic nature. Very few who have their head at appropriate place and balance show patience to whomsoever it be. I have put Shivaay in the second category in the recent OS, because thats how he reacts when she is in tears or upset.

Secondly, I always feel proposing someone or confession of love is a tricky one. Fear of rejection is primarily the most bothering thought. Second, many would have already dreamt of future with the other, that they cannot give up their dream that bothers them. The only persons who confess and propose are the once who dont have fear of rejection/they are not bothered of rejection and overcome it. Here, I made Annika confess because she knows she doesn't have anything to lose - Neither she has any dreams associated with Shivaay nor she wanted him to accept her badly. She is clear of what place she holds in Shivaay's present - a well-wisher and nothing.

Besides, since they understand each other no matter they like the other's views or not, they are true to their feelings when each other is taken into account. So, I felt, to keep their understanding intact, it is necessary to let the other person know their true feeling to avoid awkward moments latter in their so called 6 months to come before their separate lawfully.

Thirdly, I am against unnecessary drama, which leads to only miscommunication and misunderstanding.

Once again, thanks for liking and reading.

wow just cant comprehend the awe i am felling right now

Wooow.it's just mind blowing. I really really hoping that they will show almost like this in the show also. Because this is anika yaar. She always do it in a special way. She is not at all any other typical girl. Whenever she talk something special like love, the words will always comes from her heart. Her emotions are so pure and naked. I love this girl and her weird language very much. Shivaay can't never stop loving her...

OS: The Arising

The questions reverberated in her ears:

Humara sawaal hai ki Tia Kapoor yahaan kyun nahin hai?

Kya iski wajah ye hai? Yeh toh aapki family member bhi nahin hain.

Yeh kaun hai aakhir? Aapka kya rishta hai inke saath?

Kya Tia inhi ki wajah se toh ghar chodkar nahin chali gayi hai?

Mr. Oberoi abhi kuch waqt pehle hi aapki shaadi Tia kapoor ke saath huyi thi. Kya aap donon ka affair, shaadi se pehle se chal raha hai?

Kya aap donon ke beech najayeez rishta hai?

Jawaab dijiye, Mr. Oberoi

Aap batayiye, Mr. Oberoi. Aapka aur Annika ka kya samband hai? Kya aap donon ke beech avaidh samband hai?

Annika's whole being shook as the questions echoed again and again. She fisted tightly to control herself. She closed her eyes and shook mentally to shrug off the questions bombarded. But she couldn't. She needs to do damage control. Damage has already been made. But right now, she needs to control the already made damage. She looked at Shivaay sideways. His head was upright as usual at ninety degree, but his eyes were not looking straight. 'Kabhi nahin bata payenge...' her mind spoke silently.

She took a deep breath. 'Woh kabhi mujhe izzat nahin de sakte. Lekin, khud ke izzat main nahin kho sakti. Kisi ke liye bhi nahin. Ek baar unke wajah se kho diya, dobara nahin!' She stepped forward.

Om and Rudra watched her stepping forward. They looked at each other questioning what to do. They nodded their head in unison.

"Aapko mere baare mein jo bhi poochna hai, mujhse poochiye." Annika's voice made Shivaay raise his eyes and everybody to turn their attention towards her - Oberoi's, Randhawa's, Press, Guests and Daksh.

Shivvay turned his head to right to see her standing with her head held high. A few seconds late, he saw Om and Rudra standing on her either side.

There was a minute of silence among the press at the sudden turn. Since, all they needed was a Page 3 news than truth, they were ready to shoot their questions, as long as their questions are answered.

"Aap log mere baare mein hi pooch rahe the na?" Annika spoke calmly. "Aap log jaante hi honge ki Shivaay Singh Oberoi, koi bhi personal sawaal ka, kisi ko bhi jawaab dena zaroori nahin samajte." She looked at Shivaay once and looked at the crowd in front of her. "Kaha jaye toh unke jagah woh sahi hai. Hai na? Aap hi batayiye? Agar aapse koi bhi aira-gaira aadmi aake personal sawaal poochta hai toh aapko kaise lagega?"

The crowd went into pregnant silence for few seconds. Om and Rudra smirked. Shivaay's eyes never left Annika's face. Jhanvi's face gave away a pride smile. Shakti nodded his head. Pinky's eyes grew wide. Tej and Ranveer gave a curious look. Kamini gave a disinterested look. Daksh felt something going the wrong way.

Annika continued, "Phir bhi inhone, aap logon ka maan rakhte huye, apne ghar khade hone ki ijazat di hai toh aapko bhi inke maan rakhna chahiye na?" She gave some time for the crowd to absorb what she meant. "Ghar aaya mehman ka maan tabhi rakha jaata hai, jab mehman ghar walon ke izzat kare. Aap log... ghar aaye mehmaan hai, aapki izzat rakhna humara farz hai. Toh, jo poochna hai, poochiye..."

The questions were shot upon her.

"Aapke aur Mr. Oberoi ke beech kya rishta hai?"

"Kya aap donon ke beech koi avaidh samband hai?"

"Kya aapki wajah se Tia Kapoor ghar chodke chali gayi hai?"

Annika smiled, "Main aapko ghar todnewali lagti hoon kya?" She threw back a question at them. "Aap function attend karne aaye hai ya mere baare mein poochne aaye hai? Ya yoon kahoon ki mera character certificate nikhaalne aaye hai?"

The reporters looked at each other.

"Khair, phir bhi, aapke sawaalon ka jawaab zaroor doongi." She paused and continued, "Tia Kapoor ke baare mein bolne ka koi haq nahin hai mujhe. Tia kapoor kya? Kisi aur ke baare mein koi bhi baat kehna ka haq kisi ko nahin hai. Lekin... mere baare mein jo bhi sawaal hai, uska jawaab main zaroor doongi." She spoke with a straight face.

"Mere aur Mr. Shivaay Singh Oberoi ke beech" She looked sideways at Shivaay as she spoke. "Ehsaan ka rishta hai. Main zindagi bhar inke ehsaanmand rahoongi. Thode hi samay ke liye sahi, ek parivaar ke saath rehne ka mauka mila." She looked straight at the reporters. "Mujhe nahin pata ki aap jaante hai ya nahin... waise aap jaante honge. Main inki shaadi arrange karne ke liye aayi thi. Is parivaar ke buzurg logon ki badappan hai ki mujh jaise ladki ko apne ghar mein izzat di, pyar diya. Iske liye jitna bhi karoon dadi ke liye kam hi hoga. Unka yeh ehsaan kabhi nahin bhooloongi. Yeh badappan nahin toh kya? Itna bada parivaar kahaan? Aur main kahaan?' Annika let out a dry smile.

She continued further. "Shivaay Singh Oberoi aur mere beech... zimmedari ka rishta hai."

This brought murmurs among the reporters.

"Zimmedari ka rishta?" One of the reporters asked.

"Haan. Ismein hairaani ki kya baat hai? Oberoi family ke saath jo bhi accha bura hota hai, unki khabar toh aapko hamesha rehta hai. Acche se zyada agar inke saath kuch bhi ya koi bhi bura hota hai toh pata nahin kaise, in logon se pehle aap logon ko khabar pahunch jaati hai."

Om held her shoulders. Annika looked at him.

Om spoke, "Aap logon ko zaroor pata hoga ki recently, humare family members pe koi na koi attacks kahin na kahin hota hi rehta hai. Kaun kar raha hai, kyun kar raha hai, humein koi clue nahin hai. Ise kismat ka khel kahe ya humara luck, kayi baar Annika ki wajah se hum log marte-marte bache hai. Tab se inke upar bhi attacks aana shuru ho gaya."

There were murmurs among the crowd. Om and Rudra gave a side look to Daksh.

Rudra continued, "Jinhone humein bachaya hai, uski safety humare responsibility hai. Toh ho gayi na, zimmedari ka rishta?"

Annika bent her head.

"Agar aap logon ka sawaal ho gaya ho toh kya hum function pe dyaan de?" Om cut the questions about to start.

"Thank you so much for coming." Rudra spoke politely. "Humare security aapko bahar tak chod degi."

Rudra signed the security guards to clear the crowd. Om put a protective arm around Annika making her to look at him. "Chalo" he said.

"Chalo bhaiya." Rudra brought Shivaay out of his reverie. "Huh?!" He looked at Rudra. "Chalo bhaiya, function baaki hai." he reminded Shivaay. "Bhabhi aap bhi chalo." Rudra held her hand.

"Nahin Rudra." She spoke softly.

"Kya hua?" he asked and looked at Om. Om looked at her concerned.

"Jaane-aanjane mein hi sahi, majboori mein hi sahi, na chahte huye hi sahi, rishta toh jud gaya. Sapne mein bhi nahin socha ki meri shaadi bhi hogi." Shivaay, Om and Rudra looked at her. "Ab jab ho hi gaya, toh jitna ho sake, nibhaoongi." She looked straight at Shivaay. "Rishta nibhaoongi, jaan dena pade toh woh bhi doongi, lekin.. lekin apni izzat toh apne haath hoti hai na? Agar main khud apni izzat nahin kar sakti toh doosron se kya ummeed karoon?"

She looked at Om and Rudra once and started walking towards the guest room to see if all work was done.

Unshed tears accumulated in Shivaay's eyes as he watched her walking away from him.

Awesome...

Amazing
Anika took her own stand
I hope something like this happens in the show
