Shivika SS:Agar Tum Saath Ho...
Chapter 17
Annika walked through the venue of the Oberoi Expo...this was her most prestigious project...under normal circumstances she would have been proud at what she and her team had achieved in limited time since they won the deal for the event management of the Expo 6 months ago...
Winning the deal was a huge challenge for her as she was competing with hundreds of Event management firms from all over the world...But Jashnn had won it...
And though her heart was still conflicted about the entire issue with Mr.Tej Singh Oberoi...She was here to do last minute inspection of the site...She owed it to Shivaay...Oberoi industries is his sweat and blood for the past 25 years...
Dadi used to tell her the stories of how Shivaay started to work as an errand boy in OI since the time he was studying in 1st standard and earn his pocket money..
Her war was with Tej Singh Oberoi...And she wouldn't let Dadaji's dreams and Shivaay's Hardwork go in vain...
Annika:"Sandhya check the arrangements once again...Make sure the security is tightened.. All the arrangements must be made according to our rehearsal..."
"Annika"
Annika turned to see Jhanvi Oberoi...
Annika:"Jhanvi Aunty..."
She said looking least interested in the conversation she was about to be a part of...She kinda had an idea about the purpose of Jhanvi's arrival...Annika drummed her fingers on the files she was carrying without uttering a word...
Jhanvi looked around appreciatively at the arrangements Annika made...
Jhanvi:"It's a nice arrangements you have made here ...And also the efforts you have taken to build your business up is really admirable...that too on your own..."
Annika nodded not at all interested in the Buttering up that's happening before the ultimate slaughter...
Jhanvi:"Your mother would be proud..."
She said softly looking at Annika...
Annika started...
Jhanvi:"Now that I think about it...you kinda look like your mom too...and her character too...she was such a firecracker..."
Jhanvi said with a smile...
Jhanvi:"we were besties...Me-Roop-Sunaina...It's through Roop that I met Tej and fell in love with him..."
She said dreamily...
Jhanvi:"Sunaina was working with Singhania constructions under her father as an intern after the graduation...it was there that she met Harshvardhan...He was the prized architect of the company...a true prodigy..."
Jhanvi:"he was from a middle class background but each stoke of his pencil made a masterpiece...Sunaina was mesmerized by his talent and also by his character...Well you kinda know how these High strata families are by now..."
Jhanvi:"Harshvardhan touched her lonely heart...knowingly or unknowingly he wiped out all the pain She had in her heart that had accumulated after her mother passed away..."
Annika:"Baas..."
Annika said stopping her from continuing...
Annika:"Why are you here...?"
Jhanvi:"Why do you have to be so aggressive every time Annika...?I thought we could speak and maybe kinda make a truce...After all in spite of everything that happened you completed organizing this Oberoi Expo...it's Tej's dream...And I'm so happy that you..."
Annika:"I DIDN'T DO IT FOR MR.OBEROI..."
People turned towards her abruptly...confused at her outburst...
Jhanvi:"Annika...you are creating a scene..."
Annika took a deep breath and walked towards her office room in the venue...
But as she sat on the chair , Jhanvi walked in...
Annika:"if I had done this for Tej Singh Oberoi...I would have cheerfully set fire on the entire thing...but there are a lot of people's sweat and blood linked to this event...And I couldn't let my hatred towards one man make me ruin the dreams of thousands of people involved in this..."
Jhanvi:"I know ki Tej has done a lot of bad things in life...but he was changing Annika...he was becoming a family man..."
Annika snorted at that..."Changed man indeed.."
Jhanvi:"I agree that you are right in your place to be angry with Tej...but just think Annika...you are ruining my and my kids happiness for your need for revenge...we have been suffering for long too..."
Jhanvi:"Abhi jaake mujhe mera Tej vapas mila hein Annika...aur mere bachoom ko unke papa...And you are going to ruin any shot we have at happiness..."
Annika just stared at the woman sitting before her...She turned her head away disgusted by what she was hearing...can a person be more delusional...?
Annika:"Tej Singh Oberoi was changing...what a joke...?You are living a lie Mrs.Oberoi...He has never changed...he is same...The same man who cheated on you with Svetlana..."
Annika:"he just put on the mask of a good husband and a good father for sometime ...that's it...But he hasn't ever really changed...he is man who joined hands with Svetlana to destroy Shivaay during the so called changing period..."
Annika:".The person who did Shrad of his Bahu...He hasn't changed Mrs.Oberoi...And he never will...there can't be a friendly cobra Mrs.Oberoi...kitna bhi vo homely and cute kyu na dikhe...it will bite you some day..."
Jhanvi:"it was all Tej's anger and ignorance...He is very sorry for everything that happened..."
Annika:"anger and ignorance...?
Annika scoffed...
Annika:"Did you forget how Tej Singh Oberoi made Shivaay stay away from Rudra's wedding...?Shivaay used to be sad at having Rudra's shaadi happening in Goa away from family...isliye usne decide kiya ki Shaadi ki rasam Goa mein aur shaadi OM mein puure parivaar ke saath hoga..."
Annika:"he had 100% faith in his family...ki badom naraz zaroor ho sakhe hein par nafrat nahi..."
Annika:"And also that Rudy's marriage would heal all the wounds and darars of hearts...par itna pathar dil tha uss admi ka...ki Shivaay ko apne bhai ke shaadi pe ane se rok diya uss admi nein...dhoor se dekhne ko bhi permit nahi kiya...Gate ke bahar khada tha mera pathi apne he bhai ke shaadi pe...apko maalum hein...?"
Annika:"Jho ussne Shivaay se kiya...it's not anger and ignorance...Mrs Oberoi...it's sin... sin towards a man who brought up his brothers when their own parents didn't care two hoots about the kids they gave birth to..."
Annika:"Janam dene se koi Ma baap nahi banthe Mrs.Oberoi...You also know that Rudra is like Shivaay's first child..Rudra calles him Daddyvaay...And Om as Momkaara...what does that tell about his own parents...Jhanvi Singh Oberoi...?"
Annika:"And Mr.Tej Singh oberoi stole My husband's right to see his Rudy's wedding..."
Annika:"you know...No matter what Mr.Oberoi did to ruin him...Shivaay ek baar bhi usse hate nahi kiya...jab the great Oberoi industries went down because of all the drama Mr.Oberoi did, Shivaay was the one who took the reins again...trust me on this Mrs.Oberoi..."
Annika:"agar mein hothI na. Shivaay ki jagah...tho dobne dethi...I would have let Oberoi industries breathe it's last...but Shivaay... ek word tak nahi bola usne...Bas Vapas aya aur company ko phir se unchayi par le gaya..."
Annika:"you think I should forget the past Mrs.Oberoi...chalo I'll forget...bhool he jathi hoon ki He ruined my family...I'll forget that he killed my parents...that he took my sister away from me..."
Annika:"Fine...I'll forget all that...but what about the present...?what about all that you people did to my Shivaay...should I let go that too...?all that he did to Om, Gauri, Rudy...?Should I forget that too...?"
She said her temper soaring...
Jhanvi:"You have really changed Annika...tum kabhi aise nahi the..."
Annika laughed mockingly...
Annika:"I was always like this Mrs.Oberoi...apne parivaar ke dushman ke khilaf mein aisa he tha...just afzooz iss baath ki hein ki meine galath logon ko apna parivaar samcha..."
Annika:"apna izzath aur pyaar diya...abb mujhe patha chal he gaya hein ki mere apne kaun hein aur mere enemies kaun hein...Aur abb ek clarity aa he gaya hein how to deal with you..."
Jhanvi:"Annika listen..."
Annika:"Why should i...?why should I listen to you Mrs.Oberoi...?bolne suun ne ka time nikal gaya hein...abb karne ka vakth aya hein...apkI pathi nein apna vaar sahi dang se kiya...abb meri baari hein..."
Jhanvi: "Annika we are family...aise openly fight karna acha nahi lagtha..."
Annika:"We are NOT family...we never will be family Mrs .Oberoi...Not when you are here to justify your husband who is NOTHING BUT A MURDERER..."
Jhanvi:"Shut Up Annika...don't you dare...don't you dare badmouth my husband in front of me..."
She screeched...
Annika:"Then I want you gone...abhi ke abhi...before I end up loosing my temper...let me do my job...And leave this place..."
Jhanvi:".Annika...I am here for my kids happiness...You love OmRu nahi..?"
Jhanvi:"I'm begging you Annika...Will you be able to bring your parents back alive with whatever you are doing...?they are gone...THEY ARE DEAD..."
Annika:"ENOUGH MRS.OBEROI...you are speaking about my parents...jho apke pathi ke vajah se mara...aur aap kah rahe hein ki I have to stop because they wouldn't come back to me...?HOW DARE YOU...?"
The door to her office opened and Tej walked in ...
Annika's temper flared up at the people she loathed the most ...
Annika:"KYU...Kyu aye ho yaha...?mere barbadi dekhne...?Tho dekho...Banks rejected y loan sanctions...I lost many of the contracts...And you destroyed my childhood house...And all my memories along with it...aur kuch bacha hein...?"
Annika:".aur ho javo khush...yahi chahthe the na aap...?"
She said to Tej...
Tej:"I'll make it all right Annika..."
Annika folded her hands in front of her...Annika:''jho bhi kiya hein wo he kafi hein Mr.Oberoi...abb aur ehsaan math karo mujhpar...chale jayiye yaham se please...aur mujhe thoda peace dho..."
Jhanvi:"Betta..."
Jhanvi stood up to leave but Tej didn't move...
Annika:"get out of my office now...or I'll have to call the security..."
Annika walked out of the room and opened the door...
Annika:"Nikaliye..."
Tej:"Annika try to understand..."
Annika:"kuch nahi suun ni hein mujhe...please leave..."
Jhanvi pulled Tej and walked out of the room...
As soon as she was sure that Tej and Jhanvi were out of the office, Annika dialed the number of her lawyer...
Annika:"Hello...Mrs.Bhatnagar...did you get what I asked for...?"
Annika:"Good...come to Oberoi Expo venue ASAP...Bohot hogaya yeh drama..."

Shivaay:"Dr. Rajveer..."
Om:"What did the doctor say...?"
Shivaay:"Said that the reports will be ready by evening..."
Om:"well the girls have waited so long...hopefully a few more hours won't hurt..."

Bhavya:"Going to office..."
Rudra:"For Pete's sake you are still recovering from a blasted gun shot damn it...you can't even stand firmly on the ground...And you are going to that Mad Qhureshi...?"
Bhavya:"it's ok Rudra...I'm not going to do anything this time...the media will do it for me...All the proofs I have against Qhureshi will go to the media...And then I'll present a copy for investigation and then to the court...Qhureshi won't be able to touch a hair in my head..."
Rudra:"You are insane.."
Bhavya:"Trust me Rudra...This time it will be fine...I won't go into the playground soon...I'll be the trump card..."
Rudra humphed...

When Shivaay walked to Annika's office she was lying down with her head on the table...
"Annika"
Shivaay called her...
Annika looked up at Shivaay...her eyes haunted...
Shivaay sat opposite her and placed his hands on hers...
Annika:"It's getting harder for me to ignore everything Shivaay..."
Shivaay:"it Will be over soon...we are together in this Annika...I have got your back...no matter what happens...I'll be there for you..."
Annika:"I'm burning with rage all the time...And all I want to do is slam his head right to the wall..."

Shivaay:"We will make it alright..."
*********************************
Oberoi Expo
12:00 PM
Gauri was rechecking and making the last minute arrangements when she clashed into a man...
Gauri:" I'm so sorr..."
She looked up to see the face of the man that rules in her nightmares since childhood...
"Koi nahi..."
The man smiled at her with his paan stained teeth visible...
Gauri started shivering...words got choked in her throat...
"Apna khayal rakhiyega..."
He said and walked away whistling...
Gauri stood frozen as the image of her childhood flashed before her eyes...
The vision of a man hitting her Di, till she fainted...
"Gauri...GAURI..."
She was jerked out of her trance by Om who was calling her continuously...
Om:"kya huva Gauri...?"
Gauri:"Omkara ji...vo..."
She said pointing to the path through which the man passed...
Om:"Bolo..."
He encouraged her to speak up...
Gauri just hugged him tight...Hiding herself in his arms...
Om led Gauri into the Jashnn office space...
Once they reached the office...He made her look at him...
Om:"Bolo...why are you upset...?"
Gauri:"vo..."
Before Gauri could say anything her phone rang...
Gauri:"Amma...?"
Amma:"Ga...Gauri..."
Gauri:"Amma are you ok...?aap tek heina...?"
She asked concerned...Listening to her mother's weak voice...
Amma:"Betta...Will you come here...Mujhe tumhe dekhna hein..."
Gauri:"Ha...Ma...I'm coming...Omkara ji ko bathathi hoon...iss expo ki events khatham..."
Amma:"nahi betta...yeh baath mujhe tumse akeli karni hein...aur expo khatam hone tak nahi ruk saktha yeh kaam...jaldi Ana betta..."
Gauri:"par Ammaji ko achanak kya hogaya...?"
Bareily jaana hoga...aur amma se baath karke sab teek karungi...
