Part 38: The New Shades
"Shivaay, Main Samjh Gayi...ab aapka ho gaya toh main andar Jaoon!?" She rolled her eyes, he had repeated his "Be Safe " lecture for the tenth time!
She enters the mansion in awe. "Arre wah..kya mast garden hai!"
Shivaay over Bluetooth-"Anika, plan pe focus please.!"
Anika-"Kitni tension lete hain aap...yaad hai naa Doctor ne kaha thaa..tension nahi lene kaa...Tension dene ka.!"
Shivaay- "Anika!"
Someone taps her shoulder, she turns to see Khanna.
Khanna-"Ma'am aap...kis se baat kar rahi hai!'
Shivaay wonders why she went all silent he could her someone speak but the voice wasn't clear as there was some machinery sound in background. He panicked.
Anika-"Arre Khanna Ji Aap.! Arey main nahi...WO baat kar rahe hain!
Khanna confused-"Wo?"
Anika-"Wo...SSO...aapke!"
Khanna-"Ok..Sir.!"
Shivaay-"Anhhiika!?!" He screamed over the Bluetooth.
"Khaana se baat band karo ...and focus and go inside.!"
Anika- "haan ! Chilaaye mat jaa rahi hoon main!"
And she leaves after Khanna wishes her a All The Best!
She entered the Mansion, at once she was gaping at the interiors ! She knew The Oberois were one of the richest family in India but had no clue of what there status and power was actually like. Damn, the man she has been living with belongs here!
"Anika all okay!?"
"Hmm..she said as she composed herself. She spoke fo the servant, telling her she was here to meet Tia Kapoor. The servant nodded and disappeared. A few minutes later, Tia entered the living room.
Tia-" Yes!?"
Anika turned to face her.
Tia-"O hi...! You here!"
Anika-"Miss Tia Kapoor?"
Tia smiled-"Yes!"
Anika-"Hello Anika..! Toh aap hai Tia Kapoor!"
Shivaay who was hearing face palmed, why did she have to sound so dramatic.
Tia amused and surprised-"Yes...wo spa mein theek se...thank you bhi nahi bol paayi thii main...but you here!?"
Anika- "Wo actually, Aastha Singhania has sent me here.!I m an event manager, and wedding planner!"
Tia looks confused-"Aastha Singhania...u mean...The Singhanias ki Daughter In Law.!"
Anika-"ha...Precisely! " she says with an air of formality.
Shivaay smirks.
Tia-"But I dint call for any...I think there is some confusion! "
Shivaay tensed up, hoping all would go as planned.
Anika-"Really!? Aap aisa ki jiye ek baar unse baat kar li jiye!"
Tia -"Hmm I will call her right away!"
She called one of her assistants and asked another to serve Anika with refreshments. She came out a minute later. Anika tensed, hoping Aastha had done just what she had wanted.
Tia-"I'm Sorry Anika.? " she said hesitantly.
Anika's heart sank and so did Shivaay's who heard a faint voice. "Anika kya hua?"
Anika-"Sorry...?!" She asked doubtfully.
"To keep you waiting! " Tia smiled.
"Ab dehko Universe has its ways, Aaj morning mein hi Maine Ek Wedding Plaaner Ke Saath Meeting set ki...aur yahan Aastha ne Tumhe khud bhej diya...aur phir, I couldn't even thank you properly ...Shaayad Universe Hi Yeh Chatha Thaa Ki Tum Meri Wedding Plan Karo...!"
Anika to herself-" O bete ki...iski haan hain...itni confusing speech dene ki kya zaroorat this.!"
Anika smiles. "Toh planning start kare!"
Tia-"Right Now.! Cool...Today I will brief you on the schedule and what we are looking for exactly, you can start working on it from tomorrow onwards , waise bhi , bahut kam time hai, sab itni jaldi hua ki pata hi nahi chala!"
Anika smiling -"You must be excited naa, itne bade businessman se shaadi..!"
Tia smiles-"Of Course, Couldn't ask for someone better. "
Anika looked at her smiling and then turned away wearing a disgusted look on her face. Shivaay on the other end clenched his fist, punching on to the arm rest of the sofa.
What a fool he had been to consider her as his perfect match!!! How he wished he would have listened to his brothers, they kept saying he was playing with his life marrying Tia...He had actually played on his life...his brothers his family...she had played the traitor. ! He punched hard as his boiling tears left his eyes.
The day went normal. Anika was much more disgusted to meet Rana.! Tia had shown her the mansion, and explained the schedule to her. Everything went smoothly. It was late evening when Anika finally left the mansion, now even more determined to help Shivaay win back what was his!
"main bas Mansion se nikal Rahi hoon , ! " She said quietly over the Bluetooth.
"arey Khanna ji ! " She said seeing Khanna standing far off at the east gate."Main abhi inko Bye Bol ke aati hoon!"
"Anika, No.! Don't be stupid, tum Khanna se openly baat nahi kar sakti! So just get outside from the North Gate!" He commanded.
"Okay!" She dragged her voice.
Once out she looked far off on both sides ! Not a single auto. She decided to walk down the lane till the turning. She had removed the Bluetooth.
When she reached down the lane and turned. She suddenly felt an arm around her back and panicked. Without waiting, she bent down and picked her slipper in hand, and was about to strike the man with brown hair who wore glasses.!
The man held her wrist in time, she lifted her leg off the ground to hit the man with her knee, when the man turned slightly avoiding it and held her from behind such that her back was against his chest. He covered her mouth with the other hand. She raised her hand to hit the man behind with her elbow, but the man was faster, he held her hand in time and turned her .
"Its Me Anika!" He spoke gasping for air, as his wig fell off.
She was about to punch him on the nose when she heard him and he held her punch in his palm in time to avoid a wounded nose.
"Aap.!" She said shocked.
"Haan Main" he said quickly removing the fake beard and then wearing it again!"
Anika-"Aap ko dimaag pe chot aai kya?!? Aap theek toh hain! Ye kya kar rahe the aap!" She asked annoyed.
Shivaay placing a hand on his chest and breathing hard-"Exactly.. Tum paagal ho Kya...ye kya thaa!"
Anika glaring-"Self Defense! Yeh kya hai...thaa..! Aur ye kapde aur ye huliyaa.! Kya ...ye ho kya raha hai!" She asked raising a tone. Luckily they were near the edge of the footpath in a shadowed region , so no one could see.
Shivaay-"Car mein baitho.!" He said pointing to their car.
Anika rolls her eyes and sits and so does he.
As he drives, she turns towards him for an explanation.
"What!? Tumhe pick up karne aaya thaa...itni raat ko akele kaise aane deta! Hence the disguise. Lekin bhalai ka toh zamaana hi nahi hai! Tum toh mere pe.."
Anika cutting him off-" Ye aapke pick up karne ka style hai...aise...By God...! Aap ka upar ka maala yaan toh hai nahi...aur hain...toh poora ka poora kiska hua hai!"
Shivaay- "Hey watch that...you should be showing some gratitude and tum..."
Anika-" Thank You... Aapko bolna chaiye... Ki Maine aapka thopda nahi kharab kiya...!"
Shivaay- "What's Thopda now.!
Anika-" Arey ye thopda...your face!"
Shivaay- "Enough...! You owe me a sorry for that!"
Anika-"O ...SSO. You owe me a Sorry..koi aise daraata hai kya!"
Shivaay- Don't call me that! And lemme remind you...tumne call disconnect kiya, without even listening.! and when I call back you don't respond.! So how am I supposed to tell you that I am waiting around the corner ??"
She stealthily took out her phone and peeped "5 missed calls"
She smiled sheepishly and he gave a taunting smile.
Anika-"Lekin agar aap gundo waali harkat karenege toh gundo waali treatment toh milegi naa...aise kaun aake suddenly haath rakhta hai..!"
Shivaay- "Really...Pehle Announce Karna Chaiye thaa...Shivaay Singh Oberoi here...!"
Anika-"Aap kitni Tadi maarte hain...thak thee nahi hai naa! "
Shivaay- "Shut Up! " he said as he parked the car, and got out, removing the fake beard and putting it in his pocket and picking up the glasses from the tray and fixing it on his shirt.
She got out frowning and followed him to the lift. A small smile playing, in her head, he came to pick her up!!! He was angry young man but he was so sweet and caring at the same time. And he was handsome as well.!!! She smacked her head. What's got into her.? Why is she thinking about him so much!?
He walks ahead an impressive smile adorning his face. This woman was indeed, one Crazy Woman! She was independent, she was crazy, she was mature, she was adventurous, she was responsible, she was Beautiful! Wait a minute..why is he thinking about her so much..! He shook his head as they entered the lift.
Anika to break the silence which was getting awkward-"By the way... Mera plan kaam kiya you owe me for that!"
His head which was looking down at the metallic floor of the lift, remembering the night she was high, now looked up, with his signature attitude."Really!? " A playful smile adorned his lips, as he took a step closer ,"Kya Chaiye Tumhe!" He said raising an eyebrow.
She read through his camouflaging decent look,he was flirting, she could make out, but her system had already started panicking. Turn the topic Anika ! Her head screamed.
"Mujhe... ..
Shivaay-" Tell Me...What do you want from Me!" He exclaimed quirkily, his eyes smiling at the unrest he had caused in her.
Anika's system was hijacked, she had even forgotten how to think. The atmosphere in the lift had suddenly turned suffocating. He was openly hitting at her, and she couldn't frame a single simple sentence.
She cursed herself, and now his eyes moved lower. Is he staring at my...My Lips!? She studied his gaze. Yes it was slightly downwards...maybe my nose...! she thought. After all I was going to punch his...Is he planning to punch my nose or something! She smacked herself at the thought, why was she justifying this..! Panick made her think outright crazy thoughts.
She felt him move an inch closer, or was she dreaming? Quick...! Think something Anika! She said as yet another 440 volt current strangely incapable of electrocuting her, ran down her. Forget about making him loose at their words war, she wanted to escape now.
What will he do anyway?!? She thought. Not the time, think later. Escape his gaze first. His gaze was now melting her. Gosh this sudden mushiness,her eyes slowly left his captivating greenish blue eyes and traveled down and down and down. She saw those glasses.
"Mujhe wo Glasses chaiye!" she said pointing to the full framed glasses.
He was bought out of his daze, ! Had he been gawking at her lips all this while!? Wait. Where were they? In the Elevator.! Right! His playful self came back. He saw the way she pretened not to be affected. Does she know she fails at it terribly!? He giggled in his head.
He extended the glasses to her and she took it like she had won Gold from him! Crazy! He said to himself.
"Aur kuch bhi chaiye tumhe!?" He said giving her one of his charming playful smile!
It took her quite sometime to speak up. His smile locking her attention. He is flirting Anika! She told herself. Or maybe I am seeing too much , she thought.
"Nothing !" She said in a composed voic and turned the other way and grinned.
He turned the other way as well, letting out a silent laughter.
Glimpse Of Journey So Far:
Shivaay has been attracted to Anika ever since the start of the story. As for Anika, her attraction is growing as she is getting to know him. The months before,Shivaay got his memory back, he was barely himself so Anika never really saw him that way , she never really knew him. But ever since his memory is back, he has started being himself, she has started knowing him. Its all about Chances. Shivaay got another chance to Life...!
They have been attracted. Yes they call it friendship. But both know there is something from their side at least which is more than friendship, which for now they are trying to understand.!!!
