Ishqbaaz FF -Ae Mere Dil Hai Mushkil

Dostana

Seeing his mother so distressed Shivaay wondered how he was going to survive the wedding; as she always has such an over-active imagination.

Well some of her reasons were valid reason but why this hassle over Mallika when she is just a friend?

Hearing her words Mallika couldn't control her tears anymore, she was lost in her thoughts....

"Why do I always get hurt?
You don't understand that I am not interested in Shivaay, maybe that was how my heart use to work but now I only love Siddharth .
I just hope Siddharth doesn't finds out as this will make matters worse."

Shivaay looked towards Anika and couldn't help but smile seeing her again.

Soumya and Anika look on from both quite bemused at the sight of Pinki and her dramatics but more so the way Shivaay handled his mother and defended Mallika.

I think Shivaay proved that guys can become sensible like girls sometime Soumaya retorted.

Yes, Anika replied and silently thinking that this "Hero" avatar suits Billu ji.

With tears forming at corner of her eyes Mallika couldn't help but thank Shivaay for doing what he did for her today.

He had that Shivaay Singh Oberio intend in his blue eye which had a certain sparkle in them as he confirmed "You know I mean what I say,Mallika".

Then Shivaay heard a familiar word that...... a word that wreaked havoc on his senses.

"Tadi, you just showed me tadi", Mallika repeated

Please don't use such words,he replied.

"Such words look cute", Mallika tried to convince Shivaay but he had his own reasons behind his dislike for those words.

"I know who is teaching you", he snapped and he remembered how he had mistaken Anika that night for Tia.

Flash back....

Anika was always fascinated by the moon and because she had this weird fear of the dark she found its dim glow comforting as she waited in the window.

Anika stood in the window facing the moonlit sky it was serene and seeing the faraway flickering of lights made the city look so peaceful.

Shivaay saw her standing alone, the dim moonlit room made making out who was there impossible ,"Tia and her romance ideas", he thought.

He moved in behind her, pulling her in his arms and clasping his hand in hers, he spoke in her ear, "I know you feel I don't have emotions in me, that's not true, it's just I can't express them."

The breeze calmingly blew playing with strands of her luscious locks causing it to caress his face.

Anika was dumb-struck, but she was caught between telling Shivaay and indulging in the pleasure of his touch.

She liked his touch; she liked the way she felt when he held her.

Protected.

Safe.

He tightened his hold around her waist stating his claim and swaying her ever so gently.

Her skin felt like silk and her perfume intoxicated his senses.

Shivaay relished at the opportunity of this new found intimacy, but something felt strange.

The moment his hands met with hers his every nerve end send shock-waves through him.

Anika too was stunned but the little flutters that spread through her body hypnotized her.

She was losing the battle with her inner voice.

Shivaay....

When Omkara called out his name and he saw Tia standing on the other side of the room, he was totally stunned.

The curtain blew away revealing an equally dazed Anika

Shivaay......

Flash back ends....

This time it was Mallika's voice that brought him back to his current situation.

"I will send Priyanka with some clothes and lets just get you out of this lahenga", Shivaay stated.

This girl is becoming a problem as she seems to invade my dream and even my thoughts, Shivaay thought as he reflected on that night.
