******************************

Shivaay was lying on the sofa but sleep was far away from his eyes. So he was just lying there and smiling while remembering his Annika.

      Suddenly he heard some laughing voices. He opened his eyes and looked here and there but no one was there. He again closed his eyes but again same voices came. He opened his eyes and heard that again.

Shivaay-"This voice is coming from daadi's room. But what she is doing at this time?"

      He went to daadi's room . He opened door and surprised as he saw daadi, Pinky and Jhanvi  watching one movie. They were watching movie , having popcorn and were laughing at some scene. He came to them. Pinky noticed him first.

Pinky-"Shivaay, what are you doing here?"

    Daadi and Jhanvi also looked at him.

Daadi-"Billu??"

      Shivaay smiled and sat beside them on the bed.

S-"So movie and all ha? But it's too late. And it's not good to your health ladies."

Jhanvi-"It's not good to your health too Shivaay."

P-"Yes Shivaay, why are you still awake?"

S-"Woh.... Neend nhi aa rahi..."

P-"Why? You are ok na? Can I calls doctor?"

S-"Mom mom, relax relax. I just had tea now. So I think that because of it I am not able to sleep."

J-"What you had??? Tea? Seriously Shivaay?"

D-"Billu tu kabse chai peene laga?"

S-"No daadi , actually I wanted to have hot chocolate but I made tea by mistake."

P-"By mistake? Shivaay there is huge difference between tea and hot chocolate..."

S-"Yes mom I think I am missing Annika so much that I....."

      He stopped as he realized what he said. Trio ladies laughed at him and started teasing him.

S-"Stop you all. Mujhe yaha aana hi nhi chahiye tha. I am going bye.."

      He was about to get up from bed but daadi held his hand.

D-"Arre hum toh majaak kr rahe the."

S-"Hmm I know... you are  not less than OmRu. Always ready to tease me."

D-"That's our favorite work."

      Daadi said and Shivaay smiled.

P-"Shivaay, you have to sleep now. Agar Annika ko pata chala ki you are still awake then??"

S-"So who said you to tell her about it."

P-"Haww..... Mein jhooth nhi bolungi meri bahu se"

S-"You love me or Annika?"

P-"Haa I love you but not more than Annika."

S-"Haa. No one loves me. Sab usise pyaar krte ho."

J-"Ha ha but don't forget tum bhi sab me aate ho." She said winking at him.

S-"Yes I love her more than anyone else."

      He said proudly and ladies laughed again. Shivaay blushed and lies on daadi's lap. She caressed his hairs.

P-"Shivaay , abhi Annika ka message aaya tha."

S-"Really? Why??"

P-"She was asking about you.... Shivaay ne khana khaya, medicines li, so gaye kya?....."

S-"Hmm.... Mujhe bhi aaya tha. But I didn't reply her."

D-"Why? Phirse ladai ki kya tum dono ne?"

S-"No daadi, look at the time. Abhi use message krta toh pata chalta na ki mein abhi bhi jaag raha hu"

P-"I told her that you slept."

S-"Good"

J-"But why you are lied?"

S-"No no accha kiya. Agar use pata chalega toh pata hai na kitna gussa hogi. Pehle hi upset hai ki maine use bheja mujhse durr. I promised her that I'll take care of myself. But use pata chala that I am still awake then..... Jyada sad ho jayegi na..."

P-"Hmm right."

D-"Missing her?"

S-"Hmmm so much"

      Shivaay said and closed his eyes. Pinky Jhanvi and daadi looked at him lovingly.

S-"Daadi....."

D-"Hmm....."

S-"Yeh Mehra's apne bete ki shaadi Mumbai me nhi kr sakte the?"

      He said, his eyes were still closed. Daadi , Jhanvi and Pinky laughed at him. He opened his eyes.

S-"What?"

      They laughed more.

S-"What's so funny? Tell me what's the need to go to Jaypur just for wedding? There are many beautiful venues in Mumbai. If they asked me I would have suggested them some good venues na. Our Oberoi hotels also too good. I would give them discounts also."

      He said all this like a kid who is complaining about something to his mom. All the ladies laughed. Shivaay looked at them confused.

S-"What?? Kuch galat bola maine?"

P-"Shivaay , you are so cute. Kitna miss kr rahe ho Annika ko....."

S-"Arre what are you saying? Maine kab kaha ki I am missing her. I am just telling about Mehra's. What's the need to go to Jaypur? Just for wedding? Yaha bhi ho jaati na acche se, then??"

J-"Shivaay, it's called destination wedding."

S-"Haa I know. But what's the need? Kyu jaana itni durr?"

D-"Billu just because you are missing Annika, what you want? They should not do destination wedding?"

S-"Phir wohi baat. I am not missing her. I am not talking about Annika. I am talking about efforts , their comforts. If they would have plan wedding here, kitni help hoti unko. All guests would be able to attend wedding, kuch kaam reh gaya ho toh kr sakte ho. N ghar pr hi rehkr sab kr sakte na kaam. Dekho kitne fayde hai. Hai na?"

       Pinky , Jhanvi and daadi just nodded at his answer. They are trying to hide their laughs now.

S-"And agar wedding yaha Mumbai me hoti toh Annika ko bhi nhi jaana padta na waha. Yaha bas kaam ke liye jaakar woh wapas aa jati mere pass.... Aise waha stay krna nhi padta na....."

      He said in sad tone. Now again trio ladies laughed at him.

S-"What?? Look I am....."

P & J-"Haa I know, you are not missing Annika. You are just stating the facts."

      They said and hi-fived with each other. Shivaay looked at them and said,

S-"No, you are right. I am missing her. I am missing her so much. I don't know why but aisa pehle kabhi nhi hua. Mein kitni baar jaata hu meetings ke liye out of station. Annika bhi 2 times gayi thi destination wedding ke liye. Phir bhi , this time it's different. I am missing her so so much."

      He said in sad tone and they looked at him sadly.

P-"You know why this happening with you?"

S-"Why??"

P-"Because this is first time, when you are at home but not Annika. When she went for that 2 destination wedding , you were not at home. You were out of country that time because of your meetings."

S-"Hmm yeah. This is also true."

P-"Ab pata chala tumhe ki kaisa lagta hai dusre ke bina..... Jab tum jate ho out of station, n jab Annika tumhe miss krti thi tab kaise majaak udate the uska."

S-"Hmm. Now mujhe pata chala ki it's so difficult to live without her. No it's just impossible to live without her."

D-"And there is one more reason."

S-"What?"

D-"Today you came home early na, because you want to tell her something. So , you are missing her so much because you wanted to tell her about that thing. And now as you are not able to tell her, you are upset and missing her."

S-"Haa..... Aaj mein kitni khushi se aaya tha ghar, because I wanted to give her surprise but....."

P-"Waise Shivaay, what's the surprise?"

J-"Haa what's that surprise?"

S-"No no. I'll tell Annika first. It was her dream no no our dream." He said thinking about their restaurant.

P-"Ok fine. You have to wait for 3 days more."

S-"What?? 3 days hai abhi use aane me? Oh no....how can I able to wait?"

D-"Shivaay, do one thing"

S-"What?"

D-"Milne chale jao na use."

S-"Whatt???"

D-"Haa go to Jaypur and meet her."

S-"Daadi kuch bhi. It's just matter of 3 days. 3 din tak I can wait."

P-"But Shivaay....."

S-"I think you have to sleep now. Mein chalta hu. I have to sleep too. Kal meri ek very important meeting hai."

    He said and left from there after wishing them good night.

D-"Kya bolti ho? Bet lagaye?"

P-"Ha ha I am readys"

J-"Me too"

All-"Shivaay will go to Jaypur "

     They said and looked at each other surprised and started laughing.

P-"Koi fayda nhi bet ka. We all are in one side."

D-"Yes because we know our Billu. He will definitely go to meet his Annika."

J-"Yes.... Just wait for confirmation now. Kal aayega and bolega, ' I am going to Jaypur . Ab Annika ke saath hi wapas aaunga.' "

     She said mimicking Shivaay and they laughed again.

Shivika's room,

      Shivaay came there and sat on his bed.

S-"Kya mujhe jaana..... No no no Shivaay. Pagal hai tu? Sirf 3 din ki toh baat hai. Annika aa jayegi phir. But 3 din..... How can I able to wait for more 3 days now. I think I have to go to her..... But wait she will tease me then, and OmRu..... OmRu toh mera jeena haraam kr denge. Oh my god kya kru mein?"

      He was so confused about his thoughts. And can't able to decide anything. Soon he slept thinking about the correct answer.

Next morning,
Jaypur,
In hotel room,
     Sunrays came from the window and falls on one beautiful girl's face who was sleeping with a frown on her face. She gets disturbed by sunrays and opened her eyes slightly.

      "Shivaay, please close that curtains, I want to sleep more." She said and again closed her eyes. But she can't able to sleep because of light. She again said, "Shivaay I know, you are doing this deliberately but please I want to sleep. Kal se pakka jaldi uthungi. Pinky promise. But not today , you know na I am very tired because of that function preparations." She said in sleeping tone. "Shivaay....."

     She opened her eyes suddenly and woke up with jerk. She sat on the bed and sadly looked at other side of the bed. She closed her eyes and open it again.

      Yes she was our no no Shivaay's Annika.

Annika-"You are not here. And I am....."

      She said sadly and took her mobile in her hand. It shows one message from Shivaay as name flashed on her screen, ' My Bagadbilla'

      She excitedly opened it and read.

"Good morning my jaan. Slept well? Well, I am sorry for not replying in night. I was so so tired due to office work, so I just slept before 10:00PM. Waise how are you? Missing me?? I know I know you are missing me so much. But don't miss me too much. I am getting hiccups every now and then. Stop worrying about me. I am perfectly fine. You focus on your work. Do your best. And finish your work soon and come back to me as soon as possible. No I am not missing you , as much as you are missing me, but phir bhi come soon. Love you.... Take care.... And ha do one thing, please send me your pictures from every ceremony. Want to see how MY Wify looking. Ok now bye...I have lots of work in the office. Take care....."

      Annika read that message and chuckled.

A-"Mere bagadbille ko toh thik se jhooth bhi bolna nhi aata. Message abhi padha bole toh raat ko maine send krne ke baad next minute blue ticks kaise aaye?"

     She said and blushed remembering their moments.

A-"I know he is also missing me. But he will never admit that. Tadibaaz jo hai."

      She said and took his small photo frame from table in her hands.

A-"I love you" she said and hugged that frame.

A-"But I am very angry on you. You send me away from you, when I didn't want to go. Ab jabtak aap nhi maante na ki you are missing me as much as I am missing you.....no no more than that..... And jabtak bolte nhi na,'Annika mujhe tumhe nhi bhejna chahiye tha khudse durr' tabtak gussa rahungi me."

      She said and kissed his photo 2-3 times. She then went to get ready for next function.

Mumbai,
Oberoi Industries,
Shivaay's cabin,
      Shivaay was sitting on his chair and was looking at Annika's photo frame on his desk. It's 2:00 PM now. And he didn't finish any single work from morning. All he was doing is just thinking about his Annika. He was waiting for her message since morning.

      She replied at 10:00 PM. He excitedly opened it but frowned when he read her message. Her message was "Good morning"    Shivaay was now angry on her, he said many things to her, but her reply....

      He then thought that she is angry on him. Again he thought that may be she is busy in wedding preparations. May be her mobile is not working.....may be.....and the list goes on.

      So he was so engrossed in her thoughts that he forgot to work, and forgot to eat lunch also. He came back from his la la land when Tej came to his cabin.

      Tej entered into Shivaay's cabin without a knock. He saw that Shivaay was thinking something. He came to his desk and smiled as he saw Shivaay was looking at Annika's photo with so much love. Tej smiled and called him.

Tej-"Shivaay....."

S-"....."

     Tej smiled and loudly called him,

T-"Shivaayyyy....."

      Shivaay came back from his dream land when he hear Tej's voice.

S-"B.....bade p.....papa aa.....aap?"

      He said getting up from his seat.

T-"Where are you lost Shivaay? I am calling you from last 5 minutes."

S-"S.....sorry. I was thinking about Anni...... I was thinking about work..... Haa was thinking about work"

T-"I know I know"

       Tej said looking at Annika's photo. Shivaay looked down embarrassed.

S-"Bade papa you here? You want something."

T-"You forgot about our meeting?"

S-"Which meeting?"

T-"We have meeting with Malhotra's today. You forgot about it?"

S-"Mehra?? But they are out of station na? Ek minute they came back? They came back means Annika also....."

     Tej smiled at his behavior but hide his smile and said,

T-"Shivaay Shivaay Shivaay..... What are you talking about? Mehra? Kon Mehra?? I was talking about Malhotra.....not any Mehra"

    Shivaay realized what he said and smiled a bit and looked down.

S-"I am sorry, I thought..... Forget it. Let's go to the meeting."

      He said and they both went to conference hall.

Conference hall,

    The meeting started with Malhotra's. Everyone was listening about the deal as Mr. Malhotra was explaining. But Shivaay's mind was not there. His mind was in Annika's land. He was thinking about her when Mr. Malhotra asked him,

Mr. Malhotra-"Mr. Shivaay did you like the concept?"

      Shivaay looked at him confused and nodded positively.

Mr. Malhotra-"So when we will start this project?"

S-"3 days. 3 days are still remaining." 😂😂

Mr. Malhotra-"3 days? Only? But we have to do analysis first."

T-"Shivaay they are talking about our new deal. Not about what you are thinking."

      Tej said , he lknows well what Shivaay was talking about.

    Shivaay just nodded.

S-"I am sorry Mr. Malhotra. Yes we will start this project once we finish the analysis."

Mr. Malhotra-"Ok that's great."

S-"And for that we have to go to  Jaypur ." 😂😂😂

Mr. Malhotra-"Jaypur ? Why Jaypur . Our project site is in Mumbai itself."

T-"Yes yes. He was just confused about this deal and one other deal."

     He said giving angry glare to Shivaay.

S-"I am..... I am very sorry. Actually I was..... Never mind. We'll visit our project site"

Mr. Malhotra-"Ok fine. But I have lots of other work. So can you please go there with my some responsible good employees."

S-"Ok no issues"

Mr. Malhotra-"Ok then I'll tell Raj and Alisha. They'll visit site with you."

S-"Annika?? Annika kaise aa sakti hai Annika toh yaha nhi Jaypur me hai and......" 😂😂😂

      He stopped in between as everyone started laughing at him. Shivaay looked at them confused.

Mr. Malhotra-"Oh, you loves your wife so much, hai na? Many people told me about you and your wife, about your love. You both are great."

      Shivaay now realized what he said.

S-"I am so...... so sorry.... And th.....thank you for the compliment"

Mr. Malhotra-"You are always welcome. And if you are missing her so much, then go and meet her na."

S-"Yeah but she is not her....."

Mr. Malhotra-"You are missing her, so imagine woh aapko kitna jyada miss kr rahi hongi.But yeh ladkiya kabhi nhi batati. Hamesha jo aapko chahiye woh krti hai. Toh kabhi kabhi hume bhi unhe khush krna chahiye na. And maine suna hai your wife is too good."

S-"Haa she is too good. No no she is best."

      Shivaay said proudly.

Mr. Malhotra-"All the best for your future. And ha aapke wife ko batana meri baare me and bolna ki thoda kam miss kre aapko.  Woh aapko jyada miss kr rahi isiliye aap bhi kr rahe unhe miss."

      Shivaay nodded.

Mr.Malhotra-"Ok Mr. Tej. I have to go now. I'll meet you soon."

T-"Yes of course"

     Tej said and smiled.

Mr. Malhotra-"Bye Shivaay"

S-"Bye Mr. Malhotra. And thank you"

     Mr. Malhotra smiled and left from their with his team. All employees also left from there. Only Shivaay and Tej left.

S-"Bade papa I am sorry"

T-"Aree what's sorry n this? Waise drink this water. You are getting hiccups. Kal se aa rahe hai na?"

      Shivaay looked at Tej once and gets up from his seat.

S-"Bade papa I have to go"

T-"Where?"

S-"Jaha mujhe hona chahiye."

     Shivaay left from there.

T-"I know kaha hona chahiye tumhe....."

      Tej smiled and called at Oberoi Mansion. Rudra picks up the phone.

Rudra-"Hello Rudra Singh Oberoi is speaking"

T-"Rudra.....listen....."

      But he couldn't able to complete his sentence because he was laughing.

R-"Dad..... Are you ok?"

J-"What happened?"

      As Rudra was sitting with whole family in hall, all were present there.

R-"Dad gone mad"

J-"Rudraaaa....."

R-"Seriously mom, listen this....."

      He put his phone on speaker and everyone heard that Tej is laughing loudly.

D-"Tej, what happened puttar?"

T-"Oh, maa..... You know what.....??"

      He again laughed.

P-"I think Rudra is right. Jethji mads ho gaye hai."

    Pinky said and Jhanvi asked Tej,

J-"Tej, can you please tell us what happened?'

T-"Ok, I am sorry everyone. I'll explain everything when I'll come back home. But please tell Khanna that keep chopper ready."

J-"Chopper?? Are you going somewhere?"

T-"No no not me. Shivaay ja raha hai."

P-"Shivaay? Shivaay kaha jaa raha hai?"

T-"Oho.... Kaha jayega aur..... Jaypur jaa raha hai...."

P-"Jaypur? Jaypur me konsi meetings hai ab uski?"

T-"Pinky meeting nhi....."

D-"Meeting nhi.....toh...?? Ek minute, Shivaay ...Annika..... Jaypur ....."

T-"Yes maa"

P-"Oh my maata, Shivaay Annika ke pass jaa raha hai??..... How romantics. Dekha mummyji humne bola tha na kal."

D-"Haa."

P-"But jethji, aisa Shivaay ne kaha aapse?"

T-"No no. You know na he is very shy in all these matters."

O-"Toh aapko kaise pata chala?"

T-"Yaha jo office me hua na uske baad woh yaha se nikal gaya hai. And I am sure ghar aayega and bolega....."
   

        "Hello. Guys I am going to Jaypur ." came a Shivaay's voice. All looked at door and saw Shivaay who was standing there with a wide smile on his face.
