It's a long chapter ,read when you have time.
The car halted infront of OM,
A - ok shivaay ,bye ! Thanks for your help . Muje bahut saare friends hain, would need your help anytime.
She spoke hurrying her words while he looked shocked . Not again !
S- chaltha hoon mein ,
He clung the door open,
A- ek minute, what about my driving charges ? I've saved your payment for cab right, then (interrupted)
S- ok ok fine , take this ?
He gave a 2000 rupee note and she crooked her yes.
A- I know you really are a big millionaire, but don't you think 2000 is too much . I didn't ask for this actually, vo kya haina ... bahut tired hoon . Will you offer a coffee? Subah se ( interrupted)
S- teek hai ,aao . But bathein thoda kam karo , I can feel my head bursting out !
He insisted and she widened her eyes ,
A- haww!
Both headed near the doorway when suddenly her toe crumpled bad and she slipped lightly.
A- ouch !! Aah!
S- kya huwa ?
A- pata nahi ,maybe a cramp . Aah!
S- you must be so clumsy,
He complained ,and she reacted immediately.
A- arey, it's natural to slip sometimes . As if you don't,
She made faces ,rolling her eyes.
S - never
He smirked,
A- even if there is oil down there on the floor ? Wow! Skating aathi hai kya ?
She asked excitedly while he looked bewildered ,God ! what even ? He just grabbed her hand and pulled her inside ,both entered in together hand in hand .
And again her body reacted the same way it did when she held his hand the other time, she remained stiff continuing her inhale exhale practise to manage her breath which was rushing fast. True that she enjoyed the moment though !
She was stunned by the elegance carried by the big huge mansion ,travelling her gaze throughout the surrounding she remained bewitched.
P- annika ,what a surprise !
A- hi aunty , just came here to drop your son .Actually, I'm surprised too. Your house is really good !
She expressed and pinky smiled before speaking,
P- good that you're here ,vo kal engagement haina. Got to select a ring for charuka , agar tum yahan ho tho madadh karoge na ?
A- sure aunty ,vaise bhi . Charu ke liye kya sahi aur kya nahi ... mere alawa kaun jaan saktha hai .
She replied looking at him who reacted nil.
A- you must be a blue lover ,am I right ?
She asked gazing his entire room which was nothing but blue everywhere .
S- yeah ,
A- actually it's suits you good, Blue on you is like wow!
She complimented , he reacted as though he didn't hear it .
S- baito,
She saw him fetching a cramp spray from the cupboard.
" Oh God ! is he going to touch my leg now ? Already I'm shivering with the effect of his hands ab ...! "
She looked keen as he made way towards her , she could actually feel her heart pouncing out in different rhythms every second .
A- shivaay it's ok ,mein kardungi . You don't have to ,
S- excuse me ? Stop imagining , Shivaay Singh Oberoi kissi ke samne nahi juktha.
He did his famous SSO hairflick ,before giving it to her .
A- aise kaise? ( she took a pen from the table and dropped it down ) will you call a maid to pick this too ? you ( interrupted)
S- ok just shut up annika ! Enough !
He shouted getting irritated with her contagious words, while she stayed quiet with a frown. Silence surrounded for a few minutes .
He sighed rubbing his forehead ,watching her seated quite .
S- uhh, I'm....you just never stop you know? and I couldn't...I...
He stammered ,
A- why are you suffering so much ,simple
S O R R Y - sorry! spelling nahi jaanthe hai kya ? It's ok ,I forgot it already, vaise tell me one thing (she imitated his hairflick with the sound effects) must be your signature style haan?
She asked being excited and he was like what was she ? I just shouted at her and she ... ?
S- tum hamesha aise ho ?
A- kaise ?
She asked while applying the spray,
S- aise ,
He replied rotating his finger near this head and immediately she glared deep .
A- speaking much doesn't mean I'm mad ok ,
That's when pinky entered with a glass of juice for annika ,
A- thank you aunty ,
P- beta, I've kept the rings in his cupboard. You know charuka's size right ?
A- ji aunty , don't worry .
She sat with the tray consisting of rings arranged in streaks ,while he was engrossed in his laptop .
A- this is nice ,but the centre stone must have been more big ...ye size bahut small hai and this ...
S- you speak with things too?
A- I was talking with my own self , (she responded with a wide smile ) haan! I think she would like this , what about you ? Acha haina ye?
S- yeah ,it's good.
He answered without looking at it ,
A- you didn't even see it ?
Complaining with a grumpy face she was about to add more knowing which he immediately stopped her ,
S- wait ....oh wow it's so good ! Happy ?
He faked exclaiming and looked at her who looked all frozen by now, with her eyebrows stiffened high like two grounded mountains. She fixed her pupils down to insist him that he had just made her wear it already, even he was devoid any words knowing it . They both served equal in the cute eyelock which followed back .
She was practising hard to explore his chameleon featured orbs which were now revealing a deep shade of blue green ,and he was traversing his sight along her small hair strands which were now leaving no way out from fluctuating across her face . He didn't accept it ,but he did wanted to pull it aside to get a better view of her . He controlled his hand,
" Prince ne muje ring pehna diya !"
She thought and smiled wide ,while he instantly looked away .
S- without trying on a hand how will I know ? Isliye ,
He somehow tried managing,
A- it was meant to happen anyways , not your fault .
She shook her head,
A- hey charu, this is your engagement ring . You like it ?
She asked showing the pic in her mobile and charu looked baffled ,
C- who sent you this pic?
A- arey, I chose this ring for you . Actually I went to OM ,pinky aunty told me to (interrupted)
C- you went to shivaay's house ? Why?
She asked being curious ,
A- to drop him ,
She answered causally and failed to notice charu's reaction which immediately changed knowing that annika had been with shivaay .
C- you dropped him ? Matlab ? I mean how ?
She questioned straight ,
A- it's a long story , will tell you afterwards . Just want a peaceful nap for now,
Saying this she directly hit the bed leaving a tempered charu.
Charuka wasn't a bad sister ,she loved annika too . But it's just that certain situation doesn't move good . Annika being the ever so bubbly girl ,is more attached to her parents when compared with charu. A kind of insecurity emerges within her everytime she finds her parents being close with annika ,this certainly was very common from their childhood . If only she knew that her parents treasured both equally, moreover she has a thought that it's always annika who acquires better in everything, which somewhere hurts her deep down .
Currently ,after knowing that annika has a crush on the person whom she wants to marry ,she couldn't act normal . She knew that her sister is very specific and obsessive in what she prefers. Things wouldn't fall well now ,especially when annika's got to spend time with him .No ,not a good thing . She has to do something ,
Next day
M- annika ...charu, it's getting late . Come soon .
A/C - ji maa ,
A- oops! I just forgot it ,charu wait a minute .
She grabbed a box from her bag and gave it to charu.
A- pinky aunty had bought this for you, I forgot to give it . Lo ,
There were two broad bangles inside the box , charu looked at annika for a second before voicing .
C- annika , I don't like this.
She stated ,
A- are you nuts? It's so pretty ! Try it once na .
She insisted and charu shook .
C- muje pasand nahi hai, wait ...you like it right ? Pehno phir ,
Saying this she slid it in annika's hands while she remained unconvinced.
A- aunty bought this specially for you charu, I'm ok with my own bangles.
She tried to remove them when charu instantly held her hand indicating not to .
C - tumhari haath pe achi lagthi hai ,I'm telling you right ? Now come ,it's already late ,maa bularahi hai .
Without waiting for her reply she pulled her along ,
OM
Om- gauri had exclusively designed these suits for you ,select one for today.
Shivaay glanced the four suits, black ...brown ...red and blue .
"Actually it suits you good ,blue on you is like wow! "
He heard her voice from within ,
S- I'll take this ,
He pointed the blue one.
Om- ok .
S- Om,don't forget to tell gauri that, these are just damn good and she's doing a great job in this .
Om nodded passing a smile before something striked him ,
Om- hey shivaay ,gauri said that your would be wife is annika's sister .
He asked with an uncertain face ,while shivaay let a nod .
S- ji ,
Om- ohh , when gauri told that it was annika's family which you all visited the other day . I mistook annika to be the one !
Shivaay noticed some displeasure in his reaction ,
S- why would you guess something like that ?
He asked being curious,
Om- I don't know, after meeting her ...I somewhere belived that she was perfect for you but ...it's ok ,I trust your decision .
He assured holding his shoulder and left. Shivaay was entirely immersed in his thoughts after hearing his words ,
S- annika aur mein? ...woah...never !
He acted to have been recovering from a nightmare and rocked his head hard .
Annika's family had reached OM and all the elders were owning their time together while charu conversed with gauri .
R- baiya, choti maa is searching for you .
Rudra was confused to find his brother having lost his concentration on something else . He was actually facing Rudra but his eyes just didn't gather attention to look at him because they were too busy visioning the other side . And he had to wave his hands ahead to bring him back ,
S- Rudy tum? What ... ? Kuch huwa hai kya ?
He stammered slightly ,
R- pinky maa is searching for you ,kabse bol raha hoon aur aap?
S- ohh ,ok . I'll go then
Saying this he immediately walked out. Rudy sharpened his detective eyes to find who stood the other side that his baiya had to deliver all his concentration on them .
He could only see Khanna standing there near the doorway,
R- ye tho Khanna hai ,why would baiya look at him like that ?
He wondered and failed to notice annika who stood beside Khanna as the pillar had blocked her entirely .
She looked a beautiful butterfly in a silver spotted yellow lehanga . A stoned bindi centred her forehead with all her hair pulled on one side which was getting clutched up with her white studded long earing every now and then for her to flaunt them back to position everytime . Breathtaking ,No wonder certain people go nil of words looking at this pretty woman here ;)
She was fighting with Khanna who was forbidding oreo from entering inside .
K- nahi mam , plss try to understand. Pets aren't allowed inside ,
A- arey baiya, oreo is a part of our family...without him ? Nahi !
K- mam , I can't do anything ...sorry .
A - iske bina hamare ghar mei koi function nahi hoga baiya,plss.
K- teek hai , chaliye .
He accepted with no other go as even he found that this girl wasn't the one who could be convinced soon .
Annika was secretly serving her eyes with something which they could never get over off . Him!! and this man here was totally unaware of what all his very tiny gestures certainly provided her . She blushed hard for reasons only she knew ,
Watching his brother Om being all fine and happy with his wife was something which he had always wished for . He felt so good and contented watching them like that ,
A- haven't you seen your brother anytime before ? Why would you stare at them like this?
He turned back hearing her voice, preparing himself to control his sight which would do all stunts when it's her infront.
S- vo kya haina ? It's been so long since they both have had a good time like this , I feel happy for them, that's it . I just hope this lasts forever.
He shrugged sighing and she smiled ,
A- don't worry, kuch nahi hoga . If there is anything wrong and if you need my help ,plss don't hesitate to contact me.
" number ?"
His inner voice demanded ,but as we all know this egoist is never going to open up.
A- wait , I guess you wouldn't have my number right?
" she could really read minds man!" He was shocked.
S- I don't ,
A- ek minute ,
She took her mobile and swiped for letter P in her contacts ,and clicked green on Prince.
His mobile rang with an unknown number ,
A- pick up ,
She signalled and he did ,
A- this is my number , don't save it as annika plss . Bahut usual hoga ,
She insisted and he agreed.
S- double ok , moreover you are one of an abnormal kind . I just don't know what word would suffice ,....hey one second, how did you get my number?
A- from charu's mobile!
They both were literally conversing through their respective mobiles, standing exactly infront of each other . If it was the usual SSO ,this wouldn't have happened. Crazy things which only she could make him do !
He saved her contact as " weird woman " and pressed the call button by mistake .
' Kaun tuje yun pyaar karega jaise mein karthi hoon'
He heard this ringtone from her mobile and immediately looked at her. She had no objection or hesitation in her eyes ,
A- my favourite song !
S- ohh,
He nodded , only if had known that, this favourite song of her's was set as the ringtone for an exclusively special member alone...the cutest woman she is !
S- still, I just couldn't believe that you both are sisters ,I mean she's entirely way apart from you in everything.
He expressed his amazement to charu ,while she had her own anger growing within . Why is he speaking about her now ?
C- yeah I know, we both are extremely different.
She faked her smile ,
S- by the way ,is there anything else she does too? Psychiatrist...counsellor at court ...
C-vo hai aisi , hamesha paise ke peeche baagthi hai .
She said in a casual tone ,
S- matlab ?
C- you know shivaay ...she's kind of calculative and a very money minded person.
He looked totally unconvinced with whatever he heard right now .
S- par ,she doesn't seem like one .
He clearly expressed his displeasure and she gritted her teeth before acting normal.
C- you don't believe me ?
S- aise nahi hai charu , it's just that she looks too innocent .
C- she isn't the one whom she pretends to be shivaay , she's my sister and I shouldn't be telling this to you but since we're going to share our future together, I think I've to tell this to you .
She faked her hesitation .
S- what ?
C- before few months annika had a big fight with papa and maa claiming for all the family properties , at one point we all were just fed up with her fights everyday and we had no other go rather to transfer everything to her name .
She stated ,and he looked shocked.
Annika would never do that! His heart declared and his mind was practising to believe charu claiming that any normal human being would go mad for money ,but she won't his heart mentioned again .
His trance of thoughts were broken when pinky came there ,
P- charu beta ,didn't you like those bangles? Isliye tumne annika ko de di hai kya ?
C- which bangles aunty?
She pretended ,
P- the one which I gave to annika yesterday ,I told her to give it to you . She didn't?
C- I'm really sorry aunty, muje pata nahi aap kis bangles ke baath kar rahe hain . She didn't tell me anything about it ,
P- aise kaise ? Why did she do this ?
Shivaay stood silent listening to their conversation, even he saw pinky giving it to annika .
C- maybe she liked it , chodiye aunty . It's ok ,
P- but she could've told me right ? I would have given it to her whole heartedly, she told that she would give it to you. Par ,aise kyun...why she had to steal ( interrupted)
S- mom, just leave it . We'll get something else for charu .
He spoke at once ,
P- haan ...arey, it's already time . Chalo charu,...shivaay tum bhi .
Saying which she pulled charu along . Halfway on ,charu slowly turned back to find shivaay standing there with a confused face . The length of her lips inched on either sides leisurely to spread a smirk soon .
He watched annika taking selfies with Rikara and Rudra , cheerful and happy .She looked so innocent and naive , he could hear two opposite voices fighting within . One supporting her and the other against it , he entirely wanted to believe the former side though.
She didn't actually know that watching him sliding the ring on another girl's finger would bring such a pain in her . She plastered a smile to cover her face all over and bent down to look at her ring finger .
" when will you realize shivaay ?"
You don't find love, it finds you . It's got a little bit to do with destiny, fate and what's written in the stars 💘
