Chapter 7
(Shivaay's perspective)
I left. I left from there. How can I just look at her hugging someone. I don't know what was happening with me. Was it possible to not know someone and still be this affected? What was it about her that I can't stop looking into her eyes. I shrugged my thoughts away. I have better things to do right now. Like finding Samay. I need to call khanna to make sure he found that man. Only two hours left for marriage, and I can't let Ishana's confession game ruin my brother's life.
I came to my room and called khanna to know about Samay.
"Khanna? Did you find samay?
Khanna : "Sorry sir, mene har jagah dekh liya par mujhe wo kahi nai mil raha. "
Shivaay : "Are you kidding me? Tumhe main isiliye paise nai deta hu ki tum mujhe jawab me NO kaho. You better find him in next half and hour otherwise you are fired.
I cut the call. Khanna is always the one I can trust, but people have this weird thing of not working properly until you give them warning about firing them. I should speak to Om. God knows if he was able to catch up with Ishana or not.
"Om, I said entering Om's room. I found him worried. "Om? Baat hui Ishana se?
Om : "Shivaay I don't know what's happening. Ishana apna phone nai utha rahi and uncle ko call kiya toh he said wo parlour woh gayi rahi ready hone. Shivaay I am worried for her. Wo kuch aisa waisa na karde. "
Shivaay : "Om. Be positive. We know Ishana aisi nahi hai. Maybe wo stress se dur rehne ke liye phone dur rakhdi ho.
Om : "I know Shivaay. But ..
Shivaay : "But vut kuch nai O. Tu stress mat le. Main hu na. Main sab thik kar dunga.
Rudra : "Bhaiyan? Ek problem hogayi hai.
I saw Rudra worried.
Shivaay : "Ab kya hua Rudra? I asked rudra. I am so fed up of this fake marriage game now.
Rudra : " Sab guest Ishana didi ke bareme puch rahe hai. Wo keh rahe hai ki 2 gante hi reh gaye shadi ko par dulhan aayi nai. I don't think sab jyada time tak sambhal payegi guests ko. Hame kuch karna hoga bhaiyan jisse sabka dhyan yeh sab se hatt jaye.
Rudra was right. Guests can get out of control now. We have to do something. But what?
Shivaay : " par hum kya kar sakte hai?
Rudra : "Bhaiyan . Mujhe pata tha aap ye pochoge. Isliye mene ek zabardast idea sochke rakha h. Hum guests ko dance floor pe dance karne bula lege jo reception ke liye rakha tha. Iss tarah hame time bhi mil jayega sochneka and guests ke bhi maze.
I looked at rudra shocked. It was indeed a great idea. I wonder how can he think of something so intelligent. I looked at Om who was equally shocked.
Shivaay : "arey wah Rudra. Tu kabse itna intelligent hogaya ?
Rudra pouted at my comment and Om and I started laughing.
Shivaay : "waise great idea. I think this will help us.
Rudra : "Thik hain. Toh main jake announcement karke aata hu.
I looked at my overly excited brother who ran with million dollars smile on his face. Typical Rudra. He always gets excited when it comes to dance and girls.
As per the plan rudra made the announcement and I saw people gathering on the dance floor. Great, now we can have some more time to find Ishana. I got a call from khanna who said samay was already on the way for wedding. Maybe Ishana's plan was working. But where the hell was Ishana. I looked around to find media people looking at the stairs. I think they were waiting for Om. I can't let them make my brother more tensed. I have to do something. I have to divert their attention. Think Shivaay think. I looked at my right to find Tia.
Yes. If I dance with tia then surely media will focus their attention here instead of Om. I walked towards Tia who was surprised to see me. No time to think shivaay just take her to dance floor.
I took her hand and dragged her towards the dance floor not caring about her answer.
Tia : "Shivaay baby, yeh kya kar rahe ho tum? "
Shivaay : "dance kar raha hu. Dikh nai raha? I asked irked at her questions. Before she could start any of her blabbering and universe gyaan I said "Look Tia. Just dance. Please.
Tia : "Ok. Shivaay baby, but you know what I missed you a lot. And I am sure you are feeling the same.
Saying so she locked her hands around my neck. Oh God. She thinks I love her. Damn this girl. But I have to do this for Omkara.
I looked around and found media people looking at us and whispering among themselves. Great. The plan is working. I looked the other side avoiding Tia and her blabbering, only to find her. I saw her sitting on the dance floor staring at the glass in her front of her. She looked so beautiful. I almost forgot I was dancing. My eyes were not ready to look away, like they longed to see her. I saw her sipping the juice. I smiled looking at her. She looked so innocent.
I saw her looking at the juice thinking something, and next I know she was distracted by someone. A man. Who is he? He asked her for a dance. I saw her refusing for the dance. Thank god. I saw her looking at me. I couldn't figure what her eyes were trying to convey me. The lights were too dim by now. The only thing I saw was her entering the dance floor with that guy.
I was shocked. Why would she do that? I looked at her with blank expressions. I can't express my emotions. I knew media is following my every move. I continued to dance with tia, but eyes never left her. She was dancing right next to me, her eyes not leaving mine. I saw that guy saying something in her ears, trying to come closer to her. I tried my best to control my anger, but I couldn't, my eyes couldn't. I saw her now moving her arms around my neck.
Was she trying to make me jealous? Was she doing it on purpose? Too many questions that only she could answer. I saw that guy now holding her waist. She looked shocked and was trying to come out of his hold. That's it. I had it. I left tia and moved towards the dj guy and asked to him to change the song right away. I couldn't create a scene here. I joined the floor again and waited for that guy to leave her. Before anyone could hold her I came and took her in my arms.
I was angry at her. I don't know why. I was just angry. I hold her possessively. I was not happy with the fact that someone else was holding her like this. I saw her shocked, but relaxed. She was angry with that man touching her but not me. Does that mean she is affected by my touch? I looked at her. I don't know when my anger turned into desire. I just wanted her with me right now. I wanted to forget all questions, all media and just enjoy the moment between us.
She was not looking at me. But why? As if sensing my thoughts she slowly looked up at me. I could feel the same desire in her. But what if it's only me who thinks like this? What if my feelings were just an imagination? I was distracted from my thoughts when I felt her hands on my shoulder. I looked at her puzzled. She had her arms around that man's neck and now she was holding me only by my shoulder.
I tightened my hands around her waist pulling her closer. She looked at me surprised and now her hands were around my neck. I was enjoying the proximity between us. She seemed pretty relax. We waved according to the music. I wanted to know her name. I wanted to say sorry for yesterday. I wanted to speak to her. But I just couldn't. I was relaxed with the silence between us.
I don't know when my hands started holding her bare waist inside her duppata. I could feel her shudder with my touch. Her grip got tight around my neck. We were still looking at each other. We were close, really close. I could feel her breath on my lips. I could feel her chest heaving as my hands starting moving up from her waist to her shoulder not leaving her skin. I turned her around slowly not leaving the skin contact. Now her back was facing my front. I could feel her choli was backless. Her bare back touching my chest.
I was lost in her. I unknowingly started nuzzling my nose on the back of her neck. My one hand was holding her waist and other holding her shoulder. She turned her head to give me more access. My lip touched her neck while nuzzling and I felt her vibrating a little. I could feel her loosing herself with my touch. I held her waist tighter, pulling her into me. There was no more space between us. Her hair smelt so good. She smelt so good. I could stay here forever.
I groaned a little not being able to handle this proximity anymore. I knew if I didn't stop right now I would end up doing something stupid.
Gathering every ounce of control in me I moved a little away from her. I have to talk to her. But what will I say? What will I speak ? Common shivaay, you are shivaay singh oberoi. You have handled so many clients and now you can't even open your mouth in front of a girl. Cursing myself mentally I decided to just say something. Anything.
Shivaay : "Sorry. You are beautiful . Thank you. "
WHAT???? WHAT DID I JUST SAY?
I looked at her. She turned around and looked at me shocked. I closed my eyes and mentally slapped myself for being so stupid.
Annika : " Ji?"
She looked at me, embarrassed at my comment. Ya very well done Shivaay. You just made a girl uncomfortable. I have to do something. Say something shivaay.
Shivaay : " I mean I am sorry for yesterday." I said looking into her eyes. I was genuinely sorry. But I didn't felt wrong. I just felt she should know that I am not like other guys. Luckily we were a little away from each other by now. This made me easier to talk to her. She looked at me still confused. Why is she not saying anything? Is she angry? Oh God. What if she leaves me? I wonder at my own Silly thoughts. What am I even thinking.
Annika : "It's ok..?"
She stopped and looked at me. Oh Yeah. We don't know each other's name.
Shivaay : "Shivaay. Shivaay Singh Oberoi."
She looked at me shocked, as if she had seen a ghost. Her hands were trembling. She took a step back and placed her hands on her mouth. Shocked. Before I knew, she ran away from the dance floor. I stayed glued to my place, confused. It took me few seconds to decipher what actually happened. She left. She just left. I looked at her running away from the dance floor. Away from me.
(Omkara's perspective)
I had enough! From past 3 hours the only thing I am doing was calling Ishana. Why the hell is she not picking up my call? And where the hell is she? I think about the day. It was indeed a long day. Thank God my family supported me. But it would have been so hard for me to convince everyone if Shivaay hadn't helped. Well, I was scared about my family's reaction ,but how can I forget I have a brother like Shivaay, who can bear anything, but not his brothers in trouble. And Rudra, well I would thank him for using his brain at the right time. I look around to find everyone dancing and laughing. I wish I could do the same. But here I am sitting on a table having my delicious starters made by the top notch chef of India.
"Akele akele khana khaoge to hazam kaise hoga? "
My thoughts were disrupted as heard a voice. I looked around to see a girl wearing blue lehenga smile at me. I smiled back at her. I start eating my starters when it striked me that she was the same girl from the club yesterday. I look at her in shock and see her looking at me. Or my food? I think she is looking at my food.
"Waana have some? "
She smiled. It was the biggest smile I have seen today. She seat near me as i called the waiter to serve her.
"Thankyou Bade baal wale bhaiyan. " she said taking her plate. I looked at her shocked. Bade baal wale bhaiyan? So strange. I couldn't help but smile. She indeed was sweet. I always wanted a sister and by looking at her I feel I found one. I smile seeing her eat like a little kid.
Om :" BTW, mera naam omkara hai "
"Aur mera saumya." she smiled at me and continued with her eating. Soon rudra joined us and he was staring at her in shock.
Rudra : "Tum? Wapas kha rai Hua ho?"
Saumya :"Excuse me? Tumhe kya karna hai? Tum toh aise baat kar rahe ho jaise tumhare pet me jane wala hai khana. And waise b according to the University of Cambridge.. "
Rudra :" Hai bhagwan. Please wapas nahi. Khao khao. Khana khao. Mera dimag nahi. "
Saumya :" Haww.. How mean. Tum ladke bohot mean hote ho."
She looked at me. "Not you bade baal wale bhaiyan, aap bohot sweet ho." saying so she left the table taking her plate with her.
I was shocked seeing these two Fighting like this. I didn't know who to react. I looked at rudra who was fuming with anger.
Om : "Rudra? Kya tha ye? And What's wrong with you? Usko khana tha usme tumhe kya problem hai? Ye guest hai hamari. Behave yourself?"
Rudra : "Guest? Adhe guests ka khana kha gayi ye saumya. Huh. Sumo kahiki."
Om : "Sumo? Wait a second. Do you know her?"
Rudra : "Ha Kal ye mujhe Club me mili. Aaj dance floor pe. Aur abhi sitting area me. Pata nai kaise main isse baar baar takra jata hu. Janedo bhaiya. Mujhe abhi jana hoga. Sheila wait Kar rahi hogi. "
Om: "Sheila?"
Rudra : "Ha wo abhi nayi patayi." he smiled. Typical rudra style.
Om: "Tera kuch nai hosakta rudra."
Rudra laughed and ran back to the dance floor. I nodded my head. Then suddenly I remembered his words. He said he met saumya at club? But when? Thinking about last night I remembered her. The girl with black kajal, long open hairs. Gauri. I murmured shocked at my own words. Subconsciously I remember her name. Why do I feel I know gauri? I try to recollect my memories. I think I do know her. My thoughts were interrupted when rudra announced the dance was over. I check my watch and realize only 1 hour is left for the fake marriage.
Ok. Om. Don't panic. I get up walking towards my room. I try calling Ishana again only to look at a girl in red lehenga sitting on my bed. I walk around to see her face.
I see her and get shocked. "Ishana?"
