Teri Meri Aashiqui

Part 10

The month flew past like a breeze. Chutki was regularly going to school and gradually Anika was becoming more relaxed and accepting of this. Shivaay was all packed for their little trip to Paris, but more than him Chutki was more excited. Continuously jumping about, she was eagerly counting the days left till their departure. Finally, she got down to 1 day left, meaning that this time tomorrow they would be on a flight.

Gauri and Om were managing well as their baby started to grow up a little. As well as her newly found talent of babbling, baby Radhika was now crawling behind her big sister, sometimes standing with her support of course.

Bhavya had definitely calmed down. A week back Sakshi had to go but Rudra and Bhavya found a way to manage everything. Sure two 1-month-old babies were a lot to handle but the others were there for support.

Back to the morning, Gauri came to the breakfast table only to find Anika with her head on the tabletop

Gauri: Anika Di?

Anika: Shivaay?

Gauri: Shivaay nahi Gauri

She waved her hand in front of Anika's face, which had slowly lifted up from the table.

Gauri: kya hua?

Anika: a little dizziness and nausea, kuch bada nahi

Hearing this, Gauri became tense but a little angry on her sister

Gauri: I told you ki voh mithai maat khao. Choti Maa ne mujhse bola ki voh Sharmila Aunti bohot cunning hai. Pata nahi konse mithai usne uthaya aur aapne khaya bhi

Gauri began her lecture. A few days back, one of Pinky's "friends" had came to visit them. As a gift she gave them a box of sweets, which Anika consumed before anyone could stop her, or take some for themselves.

Anika: lekin mithai bohot ache the. Sharmila Aunti se poochiye kaha se laaye

Gauri: Di...

What point was it to fight with her stubborn sister? She would never admit that the sweets had something to do with it, especially when she liked them so much

Gauri: acha yeh sab chod

She took a seat beside Anika

Gauri: are you okay to let them go?

Anika: honestly Gauri, I'm so scared. She'll be somewhere that's 9 hours away by flight.

Gauri took her sister's hand in her own

Anika: lekin phir mein yaad karti, uske saath Shivaay hoga. Aur Seema, she's also there

Gauri: Chutki will be fine

Anika: mujhe saare bags ko check karna, kuch bhool naa jaye

Gauri: haa haa, jaaye

She got up to go but as she was, Anika stumbled. Fortunately Shivaay reached at the right moment.

Shivaay: are you okay Anika?

Knowing he wouldn't take this lightly, Anika began to panic. She then noticed the corner of the rug was close to her feet, and so she pushed it a little to raise it.

Anika: vaha rug thora uneven hai, dekho. I probably tripped on that

Luckily Shivaay believed this, and didn't notice her action.

Shivaay: aao I'll take you to the room

He assisted Anika, who sighed in relief. But her rug moving action was noticed by Khannah, who had a keen eye for detail. He thought to ask Gauri if she knew anything
