"Bhaiya what's going on? Are you ok?"

Rudra asked worriedly. He was standing at the kitchen entrance. His right hand was on his mouth and he was coughing.

"Nothing Rudra...I am fine."

He heard Shivaay's voice and sighed in relief.

"Can I come inside?"

Rudra asked and then walked inside after Shivaay asked him to come. Rudra directly went towards Shivaay who was standing in front of kitchen counter holding one bowl in his hand.

"What happened Bhaiya? Are you alright?"

Rudra asked looking around.

"Nothing just...I kept the flame high so that's why this smoke...ok forget it...here...your favorite pasta"

Shivaay said forwarding that bowl to Rudra. Rudra looked inside that bowl.

"Pasta??brown colored pasta?"

He asked looking back at Shivaay.

"I told you na flame was high so..."

Shivaay said looking here n there. Rudra nodded taking that bowl from him.

"Ok koi nhi."

He smiled at Shivaay and take spoonful of pasta and brought that to his nose and smelled it.

"Kya hua?"

Shivaay asked. Rudra nodded in no and ate that pasta but on next second he started coughing.

"Rudy...are you ok?"

Shivaay patted his back and ran to take some water. Coming back he made Rudra drink some water.

"Are you ok?"

Rudra cleared his throat and placed that bowl on the counter and looked at Shivaay.

"I am ok but you are not."

"What happened to me? I am fine."

Shivaay answered shrugging his shoulders and then walked towards the kitchen counter to clean the mess he created while making that pasta. Rudra looked at the counter and saw whole counter was filled with leftover veggies, flour and oil. He looked up at Shivaay.

"Bhaiya, I am fed up of this answer. From last five months you are repeating same sentence...which is not true."

Rudra said and Shivaay stood silent looking down.

"What? I am talking to you Bhaiya. This pasta...look at it. No one will believe that it's made by you. In last five months the chef in you is lost somewhere. Forget about complicated dishes you are not even able to make one cup of coffee perfectly."

Rudra said and Shivaay looked up at him.

"Woh...Om...I am worried for him na from last some months...that's why Rudy, nothing else."

Shivaay answered with a small smile and again looked away.

"Om?? Seriously Bhaiya? One month before he came out of Coma...now getting better day by day. From last week he started speaking normally and you are still saying you are worried for him?"

Rudra asked folding his hands. Shivaay didn't say anything.

"I know it's not because of Om it's because of something else most accurate...someone else."

"Rudra there is nothing....."

Shivaay started but Rudra cutted him off.

"Bhaiya, you n me both knew that you are not worried for Om now. But for her."

"Rudra, let's....."

"What Rudra? For how many days you will change this topic? It's been five months she left... correction...it's been five months you pushed her away from you n this house and from that moment you didn't talk about her in front of others. But I know you think about her every day, every minute and every second."

Shivaay was looking here and there. After hearing this he took a deep breath and turned to Rudra and said,

"Sorry for burnt pasta. Other breakfast is on dinning table. Go and eat something else."

He said without looking into Rudra's eyes and turned to go from there but Rudra held his hand before he started walking.

"Bhaiya, stop running away like you does everytime. You still miss her and that's why you are doing many things like she used to do. For example this burnt pasta."

Shivaay freed his hand from Rudra's and turned to him.

"Rudra, I already told you why n what happened? Don't connect things together. I am not missing anyone my whole family is here in this house. Understood? Now go and have your breakfast and let me clean it."

Saying so he again turned to the counter and started cleaning the counter with one cloth. Rudra was looking at his every action.

"Why you are doing this Bhaiya?"

"Rudra I am not doing anything. Now stop your questions and let me work."

Shivaay said picking up that pasta bowl. He was about to keep that on the gas but that fell from his hand and whole pasta fell on the floor.

"Phail gaya raita."

Shivaay said and hurriedly bend down to clean the floor. But he looked up on next second as he heard Rudra laughing loudly.

"What? Why you are laughing now?"

"You are making burnt food like her, you are creating mess while doing any work, you became clumsy just like her, you are using her language and then you says you are not missing her...so I am laughing on your poor acting skill Bhaiya."

Rudra said and laughed more. Shivaay heard that and stood up on his feet.

"Woh...woh..."

He tried but no words escaped from his mouth.

"Rehne do Bhaiya...I know you can't speak the truth and now I caught you red handed so you can't speak lie also. So let it be. I just want to say one thing, you still miss my Annika bhabhi...because your life is incomplete without her."

Rudra said and without waiting for Shivaay's answer he left from there. Shivaay looked at Rudra's back and then at the mess he created. A lone tear escaped from his eye.

"You...you are right Rudra. I am slowly becoming like my Annika...but she is not here to see this...You are right Rudra, I am missing her...you are right, my life is incomplete without her...but what should I tell you...that I pushed her away from me when she was innocent? I..."

He closed his eyes and tears started falling from his eyes continuously. After a minute he wiped his tears and opened his eyes.

"I miss you Annika...I am missing you terribly. Where are you?"

He said again wiping his fresh tears.

"Don't know where is she. Don't know she still remember me or not? Don't know she forgave me or not for my deeds...don't know...I just don't know."

He again closed his eyes and Annika's smiling face came infront of his eyes.

"I miss you Annika, I miss you..."

He opened his eyes as his phone rings. Wiping his tears again he answered it.

"Yes Khanna..."

"Sir, you flight ticket is confirmed. Flight is at twelve O' clock."

"Flight ticket??"

Shivaay was confused.

"Sir you asked me to book ticket for Chitrakoot. That resort deal..."

"Ohh yeah...I completely forgot about it. Twelve right? Ok I will leave in sometime."

"Ok sir"

Shivaay ended call and opening the gallery in his phone he clicked on one of the Annika's picture. Smile crept on his lips seeing her smiling face.

"I am going to Chitrakoot today. You know that my business friend? Sanjeev Kaur? Actually it's his resort but now from tomorrow it will be ours. Don't know when you will come back but I am so fed up of this work, stressful life, noise and all...I want some peace away from Mumbai. So planned to buy this. I can go n spend time remembering you till you come back. Then we will go there on every vacation. Okay?"

He said caressing that photo. And after sometime left from there to get ready.

"Hello Khanna...get the car ready. I am coming."

He said coming out of his room with one small suitcase and walked towards the exit but stopped as he heard,

"Oh my mata Shivaay kaha ja raha tu?"

He turned and saw Pinky standing there.

"Aapse matlab Mrs. Oberoi?"

"Don't call me that. I don't know why from last month you are calling me Mrs. Oberoi and not mom."

Shivaay chuckled.

"Really?? You n me both know the reason. It's just I am waiting for right moment to reveal the truth. So till then stop interfering in my life."

"Shivaay don't talk to your mother like this."

"Mother... really?"

Shivaay asked raising an eyebrow and Pinky looked away from him.

"A... accha leave that. Ragini sent you sherwani pictures right? You chosed one among them? I think blue one is nice."

"Sherwani for what?"

"For engagement ceremony...Panditji said next Monday..."

"I told you I don't want this engagement n all."

"But we went to jeweller that day."

"Yeah n I chosed ring there but that's not for Ragini. I already told you this."

"Shivaay, you have to do this engagement. Whole media is aware of this news."

"That's because you n Ragini made it public. But my decision is final."

"Shivaay you know right, media will not stay silent after that. They will try to destroy your image and..."

"I don't care...I don't care about my image and all. I am not going to do any engagement."

"But Shivaay..."

"And media will question you and Ragini soon. That how you fixed this engagement when I am already married."

"Shivaay that marriage is not exist now. You gave her divorce."

"I am not mad to give divorce to my wife. And definitely not after knowing the whole truth. I stopped the procedure and me n my Annika are legally married to the whole world."

"But Shivaay....she will not come back to you."

"I know. After your threats that's equal to impossible. But me...I can go to her, right?"

"Shivaay, you can't do like this."

"Why? She is my wife and she will come back to me and this house. Do whatever you want."

Shivaay loudly said and left from there. Pinky tried to stop him but he stopped only when he sat in the car. He asked Khanna to start the car and again opened Annika's picture in his phone.

"Till when you are planning to give me this punishment Annika? I tried to search you on every possible place. But you...don't know where are you. I know I deserve this for my all deeds but still come back yaar. Come back n give me some other punishment. I can't handle this."

He said and again tears formed in his eyes. He wiped them and closed his eyes.
.
.
.
After completing all the formalities Shivaay came out of the airport and looked around taking a deep breath.

"Fresh air...I am feeling very good here."

He said again looking around and walked towards the taxi stand but stopped when he found something different. He then come back two-three steps and saw one man there standing with one white board in his hands. Shivaay looked at that board and there was his name written in capital letters.

"I am Shivaay Singh Oberoi"

He said to that man and that man smiled widely shaking his hand with Shivaay's.

"Hello Sir I am Dheeraj Kumar
...Sanjeev's cousin."

"Ohh hello. Nice to meet you."

"Actually the weather is not so good. So his flight got delayed. Now he can come tomorrow morning."

"Ohh...koi nhi...but you? You live here?"

"Yeah...I am owner of one small hotel here."

"Oh great. Then you are coming with me to the resort now?"

"No no...the resort is far away from this airport and weather is not good. So today you can stay in my hotel n tomorrow morning Sanjeev will come so you both can go to resort."

"Ohh...ok fine. Let's go."

Shivaay said and Dheeraj was surprised. His brother told him he is very strict n somewhat arrogant man so he will not agree with you instantly. But here Shivaay agreed in just one try. On other side Shivaay was also surprised by his own decision that why he agreed. But his heart just felt to say yes. And from last some months he started listening to his heart.

They both sat in the car and Dheeraj started the car. Shivaay looked outside of the window and felt so nice seeing that place.

"Don't know why but today I am not missing you Annika. It feels like you are with me only."

Shivaay closed his eyes feeling that cold air.

"Sir we reached."

He opened his eyes and looked around.

"Yeah..."

He smiled and came out of the car.

"This is my hotel...it's very small actually...and this...the building in front of this hotel is my house."

Dheeraj said but Shivaay was not listening. Dheeraj looked at him confused as he saw Shivaay was standing there keeping his hand on his chest.

"Sir, are you ok?"

"Why I am feeling that she is near me?"

Shivaay said looking around.

"Who??"

Shivaay turned to Dheeraj and then nodded in no.

"Nothing...let's go"

"Okay"

They walked towards the building but Shivaay stopped again as he heard,

"Stop it now. I am not going to run behind you again."

"She is here."

Shivaay said looking around.

"Who??"

Dheeraj asked.

"Umm....I heard...."

He started but stopped.

"Shivaay why will she come here? On this place?? No you are missing her too much that's why hearing her voice. It's not the first time right?"

He thought to himself and then turned to look at Dheeraj.

"Nothing let's go."

Dheeraj nodded and they went to the hotel. Dheeraj gave him room keys.

"Sir you go and freshen up. Then come for dinner. The next hall is dining room and your room is on first floor."

Shivaay nodded and walked towards the stairs.
.
.
.
He came to the dining room and fresh aroma hits his nostrils.

"This aroma is..."

Before he finish Dheeraj came to him and asked him to sit.

"Sir, actually we changed our cook two months back only. And only few people come here so there are not many items for you to decide."

Shivaay smiled.

"It's ok. Jo bhi ho chalega. The food will be great I can feel that."

"Yeah sir. Our cook is very good chef. So will you eat aloo-puri? Or some western dish...we have pasta and..."

"Aloo-puri..."

Shivaay answered before Dheeraj completed.

"Ok sir."

He left from there and came back after five minutes with one plate of aloo-puri.

"Sir you eat. I will be right back."

Shivaay nodded and turned to look at the plate.

"See Annika your favorite aloo-puri. It's looking yummy. But if you want to eat you have to come back."

His smile vanished but he smiled again.

"Let me eat this one. After you come back I will make for you. Waise bhi you love aloo-puri made by me only."

He said taking one puri in his hand.

"It's so perfect. Just like I love to make."

He said looking at it and then taking one piece he dipped into the aloo and ate it. As soon as he ate that piece his eyes widened in shock.

"This...yeh toh..."

He looked at that plate and taste it again.

"This...how's this possible. It's taste is same like my aloo-puri... exact same taste...the extra ingredients I use are here. Howw?? I never told anyone about it."

He was so confused about all things. Dheeraj came back and saw he was not eating.

"What happened sir?"

"This...who made this aloo-puri?"

"Our cook sir. What happened? Kuch..."

"Can I meet that cook?"

Shivaay asked. Dheeraj nodded.

"Yes sir but what happened? If there is some mistake I am sorry."

"Take me to that cook first...now."

"Ok sir kitchen is there."

Dheeraj agreed looking at Shivaay's shocked face and pointed to his left side room.

Shivaay ran towards that room without saying anything. He looked around but found the whole kitchen empty. Dheeraj came there.

"No one is here"

Shivaay said turning to him.

"Yeah maybe..."

Dheeraj started but Shivaay cutted him off.

"What's that?"

He said looking at something. Dheeraj looked at that direction and saw one mobile phone on kitchen counter.

"Ohh this...this is..."

Shivaay walked towards counter and took that phone in his hands. He looked at it and his eyes widened in shock. There was a video of Shivaay making aloo-puri.

"This....this is me....it's my video."

Shivaay said to Dheeraj and again looked back at that phone. He checked that phone and saw there are many videos of him while making one or another dish. But other than that there was nothing in that phone. Shivaay looked up at Dheeraj.

"This...kiska phone hai yeh?"

He shouted.

"What happened sir?"

"Yeh phone kiska hai?"

"Our cook"

"Where is he?"

"It's a girl sir."

Shivaay was surprised.

"Girl?? So it's....where is she?"

"Maybe she went to teach my daughter. She is my daughter's maths teacher also."

"Maths??"

Dheeraj nodded.

"Then it's not possible."

Shivaay said sadly looking back at that phone.

"What sir?"

"Nothing let's go. We will meet her later. I want to ask that person how my videos are with her."

"I am sorry sir I don't know about it. But she always cooks by watching these videos."

Shivaay nodded and left that room. He was going back to his room and was still looking at that phone. He stopped at his tracks as someone bumped into him. He held his elbow.

"Ouch..."

"Aankhe hai ya button dikhta nhi kya?"

Shivaay heard this and looked up instantly but found no one. Then he looked down and saw one small girl standing there folding her hands.

"What did you say?"

Shivaay asked her.

"Aankhe hai ya button..."

She repeated and Shivaay's eyes widened in shock again. Before he says something Dheeraj came there.

"Gayu, he is our guest...say hello."

"Oh bete ki, guest hai...I am sorry."

That little girl said.

"This.. her.. her language is..."

Shivaay couldn't able to speak more.

"I know ajeeb hai. But her teacher...it's because of her."

Dheeraj said glaring at Gayu .

"Her teacher uses this language?"

Shivaay asked and Dheeraj nodded.

"And this teacher and that cook is same?"

He asked and Dheeraj nodded again. Shivaay turned to Gayu.

"Tell me she use other words like this?"

Gayu nodded.

"Yeah...phail gaya raita, michmichi, khidkitod...it's cool language na?"

Gayu asked with a smile and tears formed in Shivaay's eyes.

"What...what's her name?"

"Her name is Annika...but I call her Anni Di."

Shivaay heard this and tears rolled down on his cheeks. Dheeraj was confused.

"Tell me where is she right now? I want to meet her... finally my Annika...tell me where is she?"

Shivaay said looking at Gayu.

"It's night time na. She went to her favorite garden. Everyday she goes there to spend some time with stars."

"Where is that garden?"

"Sir it's here only...backside of this hotel."

Dheeraj answered and Shivaay ran from there without saying anything.

"What happened papa?"

Gayu asked and Dheeraj shrugged his shoulders.
.
.
.

Shivaay stopped only when he saw someone sitting on one bench in that garden.

"Annika... finally I found her."

He said catching his breath. Tears were falling from his eyes continuously. He walked towards her and he was recalling that moment when he threw her out of the mansion. He reached to that bench and saw Annika was looking down at something. He tried to see and saw one frame in her hands and tears rolled down on his cheeks when he saw that was their picture clicked on their engagement.

Annika was so lost looking at her and Shivaay's picture. But she came back from her thoughts as she felt something wet on her shoulder. She looked up in confusion. And her eyes widened in shock.

"Sh...Sh...Shivaay..."

She rubbed her eyes and again looked at him and found him staring at her.

"You...you are here in real??"

She asked. Before Shivaay says something Dheeraj came there.

"Sir, what happened? Are you alright?"

Shivaay wiped his tears and Annika looked away.

"Yeah I am fine. And we know each other."

Dheeraj looked at Annika and she nodded in yes.

"Okay..."

Dheeraj smiled and left from there. Annika looked at Shivaay once before turning her gaze to her front. Shivaay came and sat beside her. Both were silent for sometime.

"You...you here?"

Annika started the conversation.

"Yeah for one business deal."

Shivaay said without looking at her but he knew her face fell on that answer.

"Ohh..."

"Waise you here?"

He asked.

"Yeah I work here"

"Ohh...great. But I can file complaint against you for using my skills."

Shivaay said still looking at the front. She looked at him for a second before looking away.

"I was missing you so learned cooking by watching your videos."

He looked at her surprised. But didn't say anything and turned his gaze after some seconds. Both sat silent again.

"Con... congratulations"

Annika said after sometime. He turned to look at her.

"Deal is not confirmed yet."

"No...not for deal. For your engagement."

"Ohh...you got the news?"

"Yeah saw it on TV."

"Hmm...thanks."

"Ragini... her name right?"

"Yeah"

"Nice name...she must be lucky."

"Lucky? Yeah maybe she is. But I am the luckiest."

"Huh??"

"Yeah I am going to get engaged with best girl so I am the luckiest right?"

Shivaay said looking at her eyes finally but she looked away.

"Ohh that's great. I have to go now."

Annika said not getting what to say more and got up from that bench. She turned to go but stopped as she felt something heavy on her finger. She turned back and saw Shivaay was fixing one ring on her ring finger above her original ring which he made her wear on their engagement.

"Shivaay......"

Shivaay looked up at her and smiled.

"Now you have to agree that I am the luckiest man."

He said winking at her.

"What you did Shivaay?"

She said looking at her finger.

"Just engaged with my wife...for the second time if I am not wrong."

Shivaay said pulling her down.

"Whyyy??...n I am not your wife anymore."

Annika said freeing her hand.

"Who are you to decide that alone?"

Shivaay asked making her look at him.

"Alone?"

"Yeah alone...Just like you took decision and left me without even asking me. That time also you took that step alone right?"

He said looking into her eyes directly.

"Shivaay..."

She looked at her hand and tried to remove that ring.

"What are you doing?"

He stopped her.

"What you want to prove by this? There is nothing between us."

She said trying to remove his hand but he didn't allow.

"There is everything between us n you know that Annika."

He said directly looking into her eyes. She looked away.

"Shivaay why you came here?"

"First I came to buy that resort but now to take my wife back."

He said holding her hand tightly.

"Shivaay I...your marriage already fixed with Ragini."

"That's illegal as you are my wife and we are married."

She looked at him.

"Yeah...I stopped that procedure long back. So you are my wife. And don't argue with me on that now."

She looked at him.

"Shivaay...you don't know what happened and why I..."

"I know everything."

He said cutting her in between. She was shocked.

"Everything means?"

"Everything means everything Annika. Why you did that and who asked you to do that. I know everything."

He said playing with her fingers.

"But you...you look normal."

He looked up and smiled.

"Because everything is normal Annika. Whatever mom told you was wrong. She told you that just to make you weak."

Shivaay said leaving her hand and cupping her face. Annika's eyes filled with tears listening this.

"A...all that was not t.. true?"

She asked still not believing it.

"Annika...why you didn't fight with her ha? Why you agreed for that stupid deal? Our relation is not that weak Annika."

He said wiping her tears.

"I...I was scared to lose you."

She said touching his cheek with her fingers.

"To lose me? But that happened na anyway?"

"I can stay away from you Shivaay. But I can't handle if something happens to you."

She said looking into his eyes and soon hugged him tightly and broke down in his arms. Shivaay hugged her back. Both stayed in each other's embrace for a long time. After few minutes Annika broke the hug and wiped his tears.

"I am sorry."

"You should be. You don't even know what happened to me after you left."

"What?? What happened to you?"

She asked worriedly.

"That I will tell you later. Maybe on our flight back to Mumbai."

"Shivaay I am not coming with..."

"Stoppp just stop. I don't want to listen anything. You are coming with me right now."

"Shivaay..."

"You are my wife and now my fiancee too."

He said looking at the ring he made her wear sometime before.

"Shivaay it's not that easy."

She said looking at him helplessly.

"Annika it's...ok tell me you love me?"

She looked at him surprised.

"Don't look at me like this. We both know what we feel for each other. But were so fool to realise that long back. But now after staying away from you I realised this. And I know you too."

Shivaay said and she sat silent.

"Tell me Annika you love me?"

She nodded looking into his eyes.

"And I love you more than anyone else and anything else in this world."

Tears formed in Annika's eyes. He wiped them.

"So if we love each other and wants to be with each other then everything is easy Annika. We can handle everything together just say yes."

She looked at him and nodded after few seconds. He came forward and kissed on her forehead.

"So believe on me n our love n let's go back to our house and start a new, beautiful life."

Shivaay said looking into his eyes and she nodded in yes and hugged him. He smiled hugging her back.

"Now I got it."

"What?"

"That why I agreed to stay here for night without any investigation and all... because you are here and it's decided that I will meet you here today."

She smiled kissing on his chest above his heart.

"This day...this day is special for me. You met me today again also our engagement happened today."

"Second time...that too after marriage."

"Yeah but this day is very special for me. From next year we will celebrate this day as... reunion day? What say?"

She moved back.

"What?? What's the need? We have our anniversary to celebrate."

"Offo...you can't remember dates that's why saying this."

"Really? I was just helping you. You are busy with your work, business, laptop and phone that you will not remember it. So no need to decide anything. I know you will forget."

"No way. I got you back on this day I will remember it know matter what."

"Ok let's see then...I will send you on some business trip or some meeting this time of the year. Then let's see."

"You can send me whenever you want but I will remember this date for sure."

"Dekhte hai..."

"Dekh lena...waise..."

He put her hairs behind her ears and looked at her.

"Sirf dekhna allowed hai ya?"

He said coming close to her.

"Cheapde..."

She hits on his shoulder and he hugged her tightly. She smiled placing her head on his chest and he kissed on her hairs closing his eyes.
