Dealing with it in a Unique Way.~Shivika OS (based on 31/5)
I had to write this to make myself feel better. It isn't ur normal OS and I may come across as a bit crazy so read at ur own risk :D
Here u go..
'Before I say something I regret,just leave!!' He shouted at her. In between all the crying, she froze. Something within Anika snapped at that moment. ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH. She had tolerated all his mistrusts, his rants, his actions,his insults for way too long. She couldn't anymore. This wasn't about Pinky aunty now. This was about them, and she had to confront the cold reality that he could go back to being the cold SSO every time his trust in her took a hit. The SSO who didn't have much regard for humanity or human feelings. She couldn't take it anymore. Way past time to give it back. She wished to hell that she could shout 'Go to hell, MR SSO' but she knew she couldn't stoop that low and create a scene. Calmly,she wiped her tears,raised her chin in defiance and walked out. Shivaay,who was looking at her all this while saw her eyes go through immense deep pain and then harden in resolve, and in that moment even admist his misunderstandings and his anger he knew he had awakened the sleeping lioness and making up wouldn't be easy this Tim's.
Annika took her phone and purse and walked out of OM calmly. She felt nothing,not even pain. She was too numb. She would have taken Sahil, but he was at boarding school so for the time being she was alone. Hell, I'm alone all the time. There is no one even when they say they are. She thought, her eyes clouding. She kept walking and walking till she reached the Railway Station. She had a particular destination in mind. The one thing she always turned to when nothing around her made sense anymore and she needed help. She took a ticket and boarded the local train to reach her destination,where she landed in about 35 mins,courtesy the speed of local trains, Mumbai's lifeline. Brushing aside her tears, she entered the building. Mani Bhavan. The place where she always went for guidance and peace. The origin of her telling Sahil 'Ladai Ladai maaf karo, Gandhiji ko yaad karo' . She smiled wryly as she entered the building. Shivaay was the kind of man who would drive a girl towards the Gandhiwaadi way of life, she thought.
She walked through the rooms, the library and the museum containing various materials related to the life of the Mahatma, searching for inspiration. How in the world did he fight with the entire British administration alone with so little power when I can't fight 3-4 ppl accusing him without breaking down? She thought,half amazed,half dejected. As she was inspecting the books in the library,she saw Dubey uncle,the library incharge smile at her kindly. She had been in there often and he was fond of her. 'Kuch chahiye beta,koi madad karu? ' he asked her. 'Nahi uncle.. Mai thik hu. Waise bhi apni madad khud hi karni chahiye. ' she said with a sad smile. Uncle smiled back and left her alone. She sat there for a long time, absorbing the words, the peace and finally smiling. Gandhigiri. That would be her solution!!
Meanwhile, after his anger cooled off, Shivaay started panicking. She had left again! He knew she was hurt and angry beyond measure this time and bringing her back wouldn't be easy. He was already regretting everything he said in his fit of anger. He called her but she didn't pick it up. After 10 times her number became switched off. He tossed the phone in anger. He then went to Chanda 's house but Anika wasn't there either. Worse, Annika hadnt contacted her and she had no idea at all where Annika was. He slumped to the floor in defeat. Where was she? How will he find her? Will she forgive him? He thought and thought about how to track her down. Finally, he flicked his hair SSO style and called Khanna and asked him to track her phone number down and give him the location.
Khanna called him within minutes and gave him the location. When he saw it, he was puzzled beyond measure. What was Annika doing at Mani Bhavan!? This girl will drive me completely crazy and have me admitted at a mental institution,he thought as he made his way towards Mani Bhavan. Driving like a maniac, he reached the building in 45 minutes. His arrival caused a bit of a storm since it wasn't everyday a billionaire businessman made his way into the abode of the Gandhiwaadis. However, he quitened everyone down, and went from room to room searching for Annika. Finally,he saw her in the library, sitting with her head down on a book and eyes closed,trails of tears still visible, her hands clutching the book like it was her last hope. His heart tightened. Everytime. Everytime he hurt her feelings even when he had promised to give her nothing but happiness. And everytime she emerged stronger and better,all on her own. He would never forgive himself but first he had to atleast try to make things right 'Annika!' he shouted. Her head shot up from the book and she looked at him as if she had seen an alien. Which was kind of true as SSO in his 3 piece suit in the middle of the surrounding darkness standing in Mani Bhavan looked no less than a hallucination of her mind,and for a second she wondered if she had landed in the movie Lage Raho Munna Bhai before coming back to reality and standing up immediately, giving him an icy cold look. 'What r u doing here!? '
Will continue if by chance u guys liked this crazy crazy piece...i just wrote it to get over today's episode :p
