Ch-9
Hello guys!So my exams have finally ended today, and I have unlimited time on my hands now! I was supposed to update this tomorrow, but then I thought to sort of celebrate the start of vacations by posting the chapter now. Hope you guys like it :)
"So you're saying, Annika asked Shivaay for the umpteenth time in the past few minutes, still in disbelief over what he had told her, "that all this time, that cheapdi Tia has been deceiving your family so badly, and you didn't even suspect her for once?!
"Nope, Shivaay replied, popping out the p'.
"Gosh, Annika exclaimed, and then suddenly, she burst out laughing. It was a full-blown laughter, with tears of mirth running down her face as she tightly clutched her stomach. Taken aback by this sudden outburst, Shivaay stared at her disbelievingly.
"Why are you laughing?
Annika somehow managed to control herself, and replied,
"It's just, I can't believe that the GREAT Shivaay Singh Oberoi was being made a pappu of for the past three years, she said, and then burst into laughter again.
Shivaay couldn't help but smile at her in fondness. If she wasn't in his life, he would never have been able to handle the situation, never have been able to be so much at ease with what he had found out. Ofcourse, he reminded himself, if she wasn't in his life, he wouldn't have found out the truth at all, not until it was too late. Reaching out to caress her cheeks, he placed a soft kiss on her forehead.
"Thankyou, He whispered, lips still lingering against her skin.
"What for?
"For...everything. For coming into my life, breaking my windshield and my ego, all at once. For being so damn beautiful that I just couldn't stay from you. Thankyou for making me find out Tia's truth and saving my family from an almost inevitable doom.
Annika scrunched her nose in confusion.
"But Shivaay, what did I even- "
"Sshh, Shivaay interrupted her, his lips trailing down her cheeks, and slowly, but surely, towards her lips.
"You're not angry at me anymore, and neither do you have any restrictions, so how about we don't speak and use our mouths for...more interesting things? He asked her with a smirk.
Annika blushed. She was indeed feeling so much better, and lighter, now that she was no linger burdened by the feeling of guilt. Infact, she was craving him just as much as he was craving her, after a whole day of separation. However, giving in so easily just wouldn't do now, would it...
So just as Shivaay leaned in to claim her lips, she moved her head sideways, leaving Shivaay yelling "What NOW?! irately.
Giggling at his restlessness, Annika placed a chaste kiss on his cheek, and picked up her bag from where it lay on the dashboard.
"We're in my chawl, Shivaay. In front my house, where my little brother is waiting for me. This is definitely not the place to, uh, do 'interesting' things with our mouths. Saying that, she placed another kiss, this time on his pointed nose, got out of the car, and went into her house.
Shivaay stared after her, shocked with her sudden departure, and after a while, his face broke into a smile. Running a hand through his hair, he shook his head at his girlfriend's cute antics that always left him drooling. He then drove off into the darkness, thinking about exactly how he'd make her make up tomorrow for the torture she had put him through today.

Upon reaching home and freshening up, Shivaay got down to business. He had to plan a, what was it Annika said? Yeah, a khidkitod plan to ruin the Kapoors. He had to make them realize that by messing with Shivaay Ssingh Oberoi, they had made the biggest mistake of their life. And it wasn't going to be easy; someone who had gotten away with such a big scam was surely capable of a lot, and so revenge would have to be taken slowly. Shivaay would have to take his time so that when he finally destroyed them, they had no way of redemption. He was busy devising his upcoming moves when his brothers walked in.
Settling themselves on his bed, they only stared at him with a playful, knowing look.
Shivaay looked up from where he was typing at his laptop, and raised his eyebrows at them.
"Why are you both looking at me like that?
"No reason, bhaiya. Rudra replied.
Narrowing his eyes at them, Shivaay closed his laptop and joined them on his bed.
"No, seriously, what's wrong with you two? Om, atleast you tell me?
"I think we should be asking you that, Shivaay. What's wrong with YOU? When did you start hiding things from us, huh?
Shivaay's heart skipped a beat. How had they possibly found out about the Kapoor scam? He hadn't wanted to tell them, since he didn't want them to worry about it. He wanted to sort everything out, make a clear-cut plan, and then finally let the family know before the huge showdown. Moreover, he still considered OmRu as his babies, as they would always be, and he would make sure that as long as he was around, nothing would trouble them at all.
Guess that won't be possible now, he thought.
Sighing, he decided to come out about it.
"Look, I would have told you guys. Eventually. I just needed time to...figure everything out.
"What's there to figure out? Rudra asked incredulously. "Itna sab ho gaya, uske baad bhi you want to figure things out'?
"Well, I mean, it's still not too late, you know. It could have been worse. We've only gotten engaged and not marri-"
He couldn't finish, however, since both his brothers suddenly let out a dramatic grasp, that made his ears cringe, followed by a loud Oh My Mata' from Rudra.
Rudra then wailed out even more dramatically.
"You got ENGAGED to Annika didi, and you didn't even TELL us?
Shivaay was taken aback at that, and after a few moments of utter confusion, it finally dawned on him that they had been on entirely different pages all this time.
Oh God, it seems like the 'universe' is all set out to testing my sanity today.
Sorry for yet another short chapter, but I just cannot write longer ones, somehow. Will put in lots of Shivika romance, as you all want, in the upcoming chapters.
Let me know your thoughts, if possible!
Chapter-10
