"Okay fine... bye, we are not going to talk next two days, so enjoy... bye" she instantly cut the call and he instantly sat up. 

She definitely knows tricks to wake him up soon. But what did she mean by not talking next two days. Is she going for any work related to her office, why won't she talk to him? He dialled back her number but only to get no response. Was it his punishment for asking to let him sleep? But she is not that insensible. He dialled her number again and same, no response.

He instantly dialled Om's number so that he get to ask him to check her if she is fine or not.

"Yeah Shivay say" as Om answered some music sounds, wait rock music sounds started to play at the back.

"What's going on?" he asked.

"No one is there at home today... so we youngsters, I mean Anika, Ishana, me, Rudra and Prinku are doing party over here... and believe me we are not even missing you, Anika is enough to entertain us and along with her our own Rudy baba... Shivay you should have been here" to be true everyone was missing Shivay.

"That means she pranked me... ugghh... I will surely pay back to her, and enjoying without me right? Okay fine... carry on, but the moment I return you all are going to get punished for enjoying without me" Shivay cut the call and threw his phone in anger.

He was seriously angry, actually no... he was jealous... there were valid reason though, first was his brothers and sister are enjoying without him, Anika is not receiving his calls and she is enjoying with them too, thirdly he has no meeting that day and fourthly he still has one long month to return back to his home.

------------------------------  

Two more weeks hardly ended for everyone and as promised she did not speak to him. What has suddenly happened to her. If she was pranking then she should have received his call definitely, something seemed really fishy to him. But he can't ask anyone, his brothers and his sister would get unnecessarily tensed if they ask them, he doesn't have Ishana's number and he is hesitating to ask for it. 

He dialled her number eighth time now.

"Yeah Shivay" thank god she picked up... but... but her voice is sounding so different, that chirpiness is missing. Is it because that she is over working or something else.

She, her happiness, her blush, her wide lips, her brown eyes... every thing, every damn thing has started to affect him very badly and now suddenly something has happened to her which she is hiding from him.

"Why weren't you picking up my calls?" he asked desperately.

"I was busy" she answered which is obviously a lie.

"No Anika... something happened, tell me yaar... why hiding from me?" his concern increased and she were left into sobs.

"You... you are crying?" his concern increased more. How badly he wanted to soothe her, calm her down.

"Shivay... we don't know each other completely, here our family... both of our family is planning our marriage... and to be true I am afraid... I am afraid to commit to anyone, I am afraid that whether I will be fulfilling the duties of a daughter-in-law, I am afraid that whether I will meet up to your expectations or not... I am afraid Shivay, you are the first one with whom I agreed to tie the knot but... but now as I am seeing our family getting excited I am getting more and more afraid, what if I let them down?" she sobbed in between.

Her tears... though he just heard her wet voice but his heart became heavy. This was true that they don't know each other and their family want them to tie the knot soon. Both their families loved each other and has already accepted each other as in-law but... what about these two souls? For some or the other reason Anika couldn't say no to her mother this time when her mother asked her that is she ready to marry Shivay or not, but... but now she is afraid.
