His Ex-Girlfriend [Completed]

Chapter 49 | The best man

Recap ~
Kick start

"Well, he married his love!" Anika spoke honestly while Shivaay smiled realising how jealous he was of his own self.
"You loved him so much but didn't he?!" Rudra asked confused to which Shivaay spoke, "He did and does as well."
"How do you know?!" Om asked raising his eyebrow out of suspicion while Anika and Shivaay looked at each other alarmed at the situation.
"Phail gaya raita!" Anika muttered, loud enough for Shivaay to hear and he looked back apologetically at her.

"So here is what happened, Anika loved him, he loved back but soon realized another girl loves him. Hence, these two decided to sacrifice their love and got married!" Sid rambled a story confusing everyone around except ShivIka.
"That's quite contradicting from Anika's statement!" Om spoke clearly suspicious.
"We are not in maths class now to discuss on Proof by contradiction method!" Rudra fake cried remembering his terrible skills in Math and the rest laughed.

In no time they all resumed their journey to Goa. As suggested by the locals, lunch was amazing at Satara, the 17th century capital of Maratha empire known for its historical spots and heritage. On their way they stopped at Kolhapur, located on the banks of Panchganga River only to have the famous Misal paav.

"We planned the itinerary! There is no stopping at Kolhapur." ShivOm spoke annoyed at the fact that they didn't follow the planning.
"Jatadhari! Stop over reacting, okay? Is a tsunami on its way if we stop at Kolhapur to eat Misal paav?" Gauri asked sarcastically and Om remained silent.
"How could you guys not stop at Kolhapur which is famous for saree and footwear shopping?!" Mallika chided and Anika looked alarmed at her friend who takes hours to shop.

After a big debate, the girls along with SidRu won and ShivOm could no longer reprimand their decision.
"Chaliye!" Anika gestured Shivaay who frowned at her making her chuckle.

By evening, they reached the final stop before reaching their destination, Belgaum, a must-stop in the Mumbai to Goa road trip. Located on the south west corner of Karnataka, it was simply beautiful and astounding. They visited the famous Jain temple located within the Belgaum fort.

"What are you wishing for Mrs.?!" He asked looking at his wife who was busy praying when she said still closing her eyes, "Wishing that you should learn to ride a bike Mr.!"
"Of course I will!" He frowned as he noticed the smirk on her lips.
"You know what I wished for?!" He asked when she strictly warned him nodding, "Yes! So now don't you dare tell me because I already know it!" making him chuckle.

"Guys, we need to stop!" Rudra said halting his bike to a corner of the road and the others groaned, "Not again Rudra! You are not hungry right?!"
"I'm but that's not the problem!" He smiled sheepishly letting the others roll their eyes.

"Okay now tell us what is the so called problem?!" Shivaay asked irritated with the fact that the sun has set already and they still didn't reach their destination.
"I left my phone at home!" He said annoyed with himself for being so careless, "That's the best thing you have ever done so far! Otherwise you would click a thousand pictures and post it in your Instagram feed." Om commented and Rudra pouted. 

Finally deciding to buy a new phone for Rudy, they started back and reached Goa in about half an hour. Checking into their respective rooms, pairing it up with Shivaay and Sid, Om and Rudra, Anika and Mallika, Gauri and Tia; they decided they would rest for the night and start their tour from the next day.

"Mallika, Sid was calling you!" Shivaay spoke as Mallika opened the door of their room.
"Okay, tell him I would call him. Bye Shivaay!" She bluntly said and was about to close the door when he stopped her.
"No, he wants to talk something very important! So please go to him." He said letting Mallika raise her eyebrow, "What is so important?!"
"I have no clue yaar!" He tried sounding casual.

Mallika left to deal with Sid while Shivaay silently entered the room to see no one around.

"Where is Anika?!" He impatiently spoke to himself when he heard the sound of a door opening and he turned behind to see Anika in her above knee length bathrobe.
"Sorry, super sorry Anu!" He apologized and turned back cursing himself for the situation when he heard a chuckle.
"Aww Shivaay!" He heard making him confuse "You should be scolding me for entering your room without permission Anika! I'm such a billu."
"That you are!" She chuckled again and hugged him from behind.

"I'm sorry again Anika, I didn't mean to..." His voice trailed off when her finger touched his lips.
"I can't accept your apology unless and until you look at me." She said and he sensed her smirk.
"Anika is that you speaking!?" He asked shocked when he heard back "No your wife speaking!"
He turned to look in her eyes, deeply attracted to it when she swung her arms around his neck and said, "You are the best man I have ever met Shiv!"
