Becoming Independent- A Shivika Journey(FF)(A/N: Page 1, Before Part 1

The hall of Oberoi mansion was smeared with paint. The red color was evident in midst of all other colors. It was like a masterpiece of art. Lots of colors in the outer area, red color in the middle area like a big circle. A couple was lying naked in the middle of the red color. The girls hand on the man's chest, her hands wrapped around his torso, and the man's hands wrapped around her waist. It's Shivika(obviously. did you guys think of anyone else?).

Annika woke up first. She blushed seeing herself naked in his arms. He was still inside her. She came out of him after a lot of hard work. She kissed his left cheek, then found her saree on her left. She took her saree and wrapped it around her like a towel. Shivaay called Annika in his sleep. Annika turned back. Shivaay opened his eyes, and asked for another kiss on his right cheek. Blushing Annika kissed his right cheek too. Then she got up to go when Shivaay pulled her back.

(S= Shivaay A= Annika)

A: Shivaay

S: Yes (playing with her hairs)

A: Leave me.

S: No, Annika. I want some more sex.

A(blushes): Shivaay! We already did it many times last night. How much more do you want?

S: As many times as we can.

A(cheeks gone more red): Shivaay! I am tired.

S: Baby, I am not.

Shivaay picked up Annika. He took Annika to their room. He place her on his side of the bed, and towered over her. The saree was loosely wrapped around her. Shivaay removed the saree in one go. He started kissing her neck up to the cleavage. Annika was moaning his name. After he was satisfied with her cleavage, he went to her assets. He kissed her right asset while caressing the left one. After some time, he did the same with her left asset caressing the left one. Annika was a moaning mess right now. Shivaay kissed around her navel area. She felt herself getting wet for him. Shivaay realized that she is getting wet, and he went further down. He kissed on her thighs, then licked her pussy. Annika wanted to do it right now, but Shivaay planned to tease her. He teased her for some more time. Then he came top of her. His private part was touching her pussy. But he did not enter her.

A: Shivaay right now. Or I swear, I will never let you touch me again.

S: As you say, baby.

Shivaay entered her. The room was filled with moans and groans. After sometime, Shivaay came out of her. Then he pulled Annika to himself, and they slept for some more time.

It was noon when Shivaay's phone started to ring. Shivaay woke up. His one hand still wrapped around Annika's back, he reached his other hand to pick up the call. After some okay and nods and hmms(guys he is tired too), he disconnected the call.

S: Annika!

A: hmm Shivaay?

S: Tonight, we have a party at Oberoi Mansion.

A: Shivaay, I am really tired.

She snuggles into him.

S: Annika, I understand baby. You are tired and I am too. But this party is organized by Dadi. We cannot say her no.

A: Shivaay, please can we or I not go tonight. I am super tired. All because of you.

S: You are right. I should not have gone raw and hard on you the first time. (he kissed her forehead) Sorry. But we cannot say no. All the elders have gone for a month long shaadi in Amritsar. Dadi couldn't go because of her health, and that's why she is organizing this party to celebrate the wedding here only. Even Omkara and Gauri left for Germany. They aren't coming back until May 2018(it is November 2017). Rudy is still immature and Bhavya will not be able to handle all this alone.

A: Okay, but promise me that I will be fine.

S: Promise, I will be by your side. Okay.

He kissed her again, and they cuddled for some time.

Shivika came down to see everything arranged for the party. The caterers arrived, decorations were done, guests were welcomed with juices and drinks, tables for games were set and Rudra was looking over everything.

Shivaay went to Rudra.

(S= Shivaay R= Rudra)

S: Rudy boy. I am so glad to see you taking care of the guests. Do you want pocket money or is it something else?

R: What Bhaiya. Bhavya told me that you both must be busy and O and chulbul bhabi went for Germany. Mumma-Papa Choti ma- chote Papa is not here as well. So I thought I should look after everything. After all this is my family's party and I am the host too.

S: Of course. (caresses his hair) you have grown up.

R: You realized it just now, after 23 years!

A: What's going on between two brothers(Annika arrives and holds Shivaay's arms)

S: Nothing, I was just wondering how our Rudy has grown up.

A: You realized it just now, after 23 years!

Rudra laughed. Annika made a confused face and Shivaay frowned.

R: You don't know bhabhi, I was saying the same thing to Bhaiya as few seconds ago.

Both of them burst down laughing.

S: If Devar-Bhabhi is done, can we proceed and attend the guests.

R: Ok, but Bhaiya I have a question.

S: Yes, Rudy.

R: Why do people call it Devar-Bhabhi. I mean when people call their two children, they say the elder one's name first, when they call sibling, they say the elder ones' names first. When calling Dada-Dadi, Mama-Mami, Chacha-Chachi, Pati-Patni, we always call the elder one's name first. But Bhabhi is elder than Devar, then why we call it Devar-Bhabi and not Bhabi-Devar. Logic?

S: Rudra, I don't have the answer to your question this time. You know our society is so male-dominated that we don't even notice these things. When a bride comes to her husband's house, no matter how her husband is, others in the family will consider you as a second class member. The wife has no say in the affairs of her husband's family. That's how our society is.

A: But, Oberois are always different than other. Look at me. Shivaay or anyone in this family has never let me feel second class after we married again.

Shivaay holds her by the shoulder as if giving her support as she was getting emotional.

S: Let's attend the guests Rudy. (To Annika) Come baby.

R: Baby?

A: Baby? (whispers) Rudra is here.

S: So what, you are my wife?

R: Bhaiya stop it, it's a Family function with most people being of our Dadi's age.

S: Whatever. Bye Rudy. Take care.

R: Yeah, Yeah going.

Rudy left.

A: Shivaay what was that?

S: What?

A: Why did you ask Rudra to go?

S: Annika, I did not ask him to. He went by himself. And he needs to talk to Bhavya. They need to solve whatever issues they are having.

A: Yes, I hope Rudy did not make any mistake this time.

S: You tell me, is it still paining?

A: Yes. A lot.

S: Sorry.

A: It's okay Shivaay, I will go and look over the guests.

Annika was about to leave when Shivaay called her back.

S: Annie. Come back to me soon.

A: I will Shiv.

(I had tears while writing this scene, but it is important for the story. Annika's character after 1st marriage is such that she won't decide to become independent again without getting a shock)

Annika went to look over the guests. On her way she heard some guests' conversations. Some Dadis(imagine as chuglikhor aunties who are of Grandmom's age) were talking.

(D1= Dadi 1 D2= Dadi 2 and so on)

D1: Do you know who is is this Annika?

D2: Shivaay's wife.

D1: But they divorced right?

D3: You know right how girls die to marry a man from rich family. She got divorced to Shivaay, but returned back for his money. How will she let go of the businessman of the year so easily?

D2: But why would Shivaay agree for marrying her again?

D1: Yes, she is not so rich too right? Who is her family?

D3: She is an orphan.

D2: And I have heard that Shivaay pays the fees of her adoptive brother's school as well.

D4: Haven't you look at her. She is so beautiful. Shivaay's mind must have stopped working when she came decked up to seduce him.

D5: I think the same. Maybe she gave Shivaay her virginity, and the man's mind in him was sleeping.

D3: Today's girls do anything for money.

D1: It's really the age of downfall(kalyug).

Annika bursted into tears and went to their room.
