Chalte Chalte:A Journey Of Love(Shivika FF)

Chapter 15

Shivaay recalls that room in Trivedi Villa where he talked with Mrs.Trivedi,going there for the first time which was full of cloths and design materials,decorated systematically.He starts listening to Anika's words with rapt attention.There Anika continues-

A:  I became one of the executive designers of Trivedi Jewels & Diamonds,especially for bridal collection branch.Dad launched my designs keeping my name hidden,as his daughter!

S:  Why?

A:  Because I wanted to.When Dad got to know the reason,he was really surprised.

"Even me too"
Shivaay says in his mind.

A:  I wanted to create my own identity as Anika,not being the daughter of Harshvardhan Trivedi,the famous diamond merchant.I wanted people to know me through my work.

S:  That's excellent.What your Dad said?

A:  Dad agreed with much happiness.He was so proud on my decision and of me.Very soon I started getting projects and my designs reached almost all the showrooms of Trivedi Jewels & Diamonds,across India.

But,I wanted to have my own fashion and jewellery house,in the money I was earning.Dad opened a separate bank account and all my monthly salary being the executive designer of Trivedi Jewels & Diamonds got deposited in it.Dad was very much excited even more than me on the prospect of my own showroom.Everything was set but......

S:  But?But what Anika?

A:  It was pre-decided that once I return India after completing my post graduation,my jewellery and fashion house would be inaugurated.But now....Anika stops.

Now I have forgotten where I left everything,my dream and all.Don't know whether I will be able to relive my dream or not......Anika looks down getting sad.Shivaay moves close to Anika then takes her hand in his hands then says-

S:  You know Anika,Dadi always says when it's comes to fulfilling one's dream,it's never late.You can catch up anytime no matter what.Just you have to trust your heart and work accordingly.
And your dream will be a vivid reality,my heart is saying that.Shivaay smiles sweetly looking at Anika.
She hugs Shivaay while he too reciprocates her hug,caressing her hair.Anika says remaining in Shivaay's arms-

A:  Shivaay,I am missing Dad so very much.He has not called me even once nor he came to meet me.He gets shocked.

S:  He will come to meet you Anika,very soon.He is not in India.Once he comes,he will meet you.

A:  Really?Are you sure?

S:  Pinky Promise.Where is your finger?Anika forwards her finger and they perform Pinky Promise!

Anika hugs Shivaay getting all excited and happy.

Some Time Later
_______________

Shivaay is seen sitting in the hall,in front of laptop,typing away something.Anika comes there tip-toeing from behind and covers Shivaay's eyes with her hands.Shivaay touches Anika's hands and says-

S:  Anika?

A:  Are you sure that I am Anika?

S:  Of course.My heart is saying,you are Anika and my heart never tells lies.Do you need proof?

Anika removes her fingers.Then,leaning ahead she captures Shivaay with both her hands,bringing her face close to him.She says-

A:  How do you know without even seeing?Is there any secret?

S:  Hai na ek secret......Shivaay brings Anika next to him holding her hands over the sofa-
I have an inbuilt Anika sensometer in me.So,it's very easy.Anika laughs sitting next to Shivaay.

S:  Do you need anything?

A:  First tell me,are you busy?What are you doing?

S:  Nothing.Just checking some official documents.Why?

A:  Then come with me.

S:  Where?

Anika takes Shivaay out of the house,in the lawn garden.Going there Shivaay finds house staffs are placing net-stand,making court with chalk powder.Some are arranging table.

S:  What is this Anika?

A:  We will play badminton here,together.

S:  What?

A:  Kya what Shivaay?
See,you keep yourself busy whole day in my works and invest your time only in me.In all these,you forget sparing time for you.You too deserve few minutes which will be tension free,peaceful,at least.So,I have arranged it.Kaisa laga meri idea?

S:  Hmmm...Bilkul khidkitode.

A:  Pick up your racket bat then?

Shivaay takes one so does Anika.

A:  Shivaay,are you ready to-Lose?

S:  Are you,Anika?

A:  Let's see.

S:  Will see.

A:  Don't challenge me.You will lose very badly.

S:  Shivaay Singh Oberoi ko harana mushkil hi nahi,na-mumkin hai!

A:  Confidence is good but,not overconfidence.Don't forget,you are going to play against Anika,Anika Shivaay Singh Oberoi and that's me.She points at herself."Lose",this word does not exist in my dictionary.I make other include this specific word in their dictionary.Understand?

Shivaay fixes his gaze on Anika then throws the racket in the air.Anika looks up.Shivaay catches it without looking,with his one hand.

S:  Are you challenging me?

A:  Yes,challenging you.

S:  Okay then,challenge accepted.

Saying that,Shivaay Singh Oberoi does his famous hair flick.
Game is totally on and on fire!
