Anika: toh ab tu Mahir se pyaar nahi karti???

All looked at Bela. "Please say no Bela. Keh do ki tum mujh se abhi bhi pyaar karti ho. Please" whispered Mahir under neath his breath.

"Nahi" answered Bela not meeting her eyes with anyone.

Anika: yeh hi baat meri taraf dekh ke bol

She looked in her eyes. "NAHI MAIN MR. SEHGAL SE AB KYA NAHI KARTI" she said.

Mahir closed his eyes his heart was bleeding as she said that. Anika went near her and held her chin.

Anika: mujh se jhooth bolna kab sikha Bela?

Bela: main jhooth nahi bol rahi.

Anika (sighed heavy): theek hai fir. Gauri, Tingu, Soumya Sahil (to Bela) aur tu. Sabhi apne bags pack karlo. We are leaving

All looked at her with shocked face. Dadi who slient till now spoke.

Dadi: kahan ja na hai Anika?

Anika: jahan se aaye the dadi, APNE ghar.

She emphasized the word APNE. Shivaay looked at her and she too.

Shivaay asked why was she leaving through eyes. Anika blinked her eyes conveying that she will tell him everything later and for now support her. Shivaay sighed and agreed.

Rudra: par kyu di?

Anika: ek na ek din jana hi tha na Rudy. Aap hi ne kaha na Bela aur Mahir roz jagdte hai. Toh jab dono sath rahenge hi nahi toh jagda ho ga hi nahi.

Shivaay: theek hai. It's better tum Bela ko le hi jao. Roz roz ke tamashe se toh chhutti milegi

Saying he left saying so.

Anika: Chaki, Tingu aur Sumo tum log bhi jao. Aur haan please don't make a villain.

Om: yeh aap kya bol rahi hai aap di?

Anika: tum lovebirds ko dur jo kar rahi hun

Gauri (chuckled): kya di?

Anika: haan par aisa toh hai nahi ke tum log ek dusre se mil nahi sakte. Om Rudy tum log jab chahe aa jana.

Om: main toh aaunga hi

Rudra: main bhi.

All chuckled. Gauri Soumya and Tia went to their rooms. Om followed Gauri and Rudra followed Soumya. All the while Bela and Mahir were looking at each other.

All the elders left. Anika asked Sahil to leave and start packing she will join in sometime.

Vish: Anika ab hum bhi chalte hai.

Anika: nahi tum dono bhi humare saath chalo ge.

Rohit: par.....

Anika: koi par war nahi. You are coming that's it.

Vish: okay. Par hume packing to karni padegi na.

Anika: theek hai. Main address message karti hun tum dono aa jana kal.

Rohit: bye. Take care

Anika: you too. Bye.

They left and Anika turned towards BeHir. She shook her head

Anika (thought): dekho toh kaise ghur rahe hai ek dusre ko. Aur kehte hai pyaar nahi hai.

Anika fake coughed to bring them back. Bela jerked and snapped her head away from Mahir.

Anika: ja tu bhi kar de packing start.

Bela nodded and went to her room. Mahir glared her.

Anika: gussa aa raha hai na?

Mahir: bohat. Atleast Bela mere saamne toh thi lekin ab tumhein woh bhi manzoor nahi hai.

Anika: waah bhai. Bhalai ka toh zamana hi nahi raha. Yahan main tum dono ko milane ki koshish kar rahi hun tum mujh pe hi raation paani leke chade ja rahe ho

Mahir (frowned): kya matlab?

Anika: mere saath chalo.

Mahir: kahan?

Anika: chalo na

She took him to Bela's room where she was crying hugging her knees. Mahir's heart squeezed seeing this.

Anika: dekha. Woh abhi bhi tumse pyaar karti hai. Issiliye tumse dur jaana usse manzoor nahi hai...... Tum log jagda issiliye karte the taki tum dono ek dusre se baat kar sako. Hai na?

Mahir looked her with shocked face.

Anika: aise mat dekho. Bela na pagal hai uss khud nahi pata hota ke woh kya kar rahi hai. Mera aur Bela ka rista aisa hi hai. Agar mere khilaf ek word bhi kisine bola toh usska gussa aashman chhuleta hai. Mera bhi yeh hi haal hai. Woh tum se kal bhi pyaar karti thi aur aaj bhi karti hai. Warna woh kab ka yeh ghar chhod ke chali gai hoti. Don't you think so?

Mahir realized she was right.

Anika: you can still stop her Mahir. Jao uske pass maafi mango, manao usse. Forget about past agar aaj tumne usse jaane diya toh kabhi wapish nahi aayegi woh. Go Mahir. Save your love.

Mahir: I am sorry Anika maine tumhein.......

Anika: nahi Mahir. Iss mein na toh tumhari galati hai aur naa hi Bela ki. Dono kisi ek ko choose nahi kar sakte. Tum Shivaay aur Bela mein se nahi kar sakte. Aur woh tumhare aur mere mein se kisi ko choose nahi kar sakti. So it's okay. Jao.

Mahir smiled and nodding he went in. Anika stood there itself. Shivaay came in search of her. Before he could say anything she sealed his mouth by her hands.

Anika (whispering): shh..... abhi aap chup rahiye.

She turned towards her room and continued "Chup rahiye aur suniye"

He looked at that direction and saw Mahir standing little away from her while Bela, totally unaware of his presence was sliently sitting on the floor.

Shivaay (whispering): dusron ki baaten sunna is bad manners. School mein padha nahi?

Anika: lekin yahan main Mahir ko support karne khadi hun.

Shivaay: kaise?

Anika: aise (she showed Mr. Cuddles) agar Bela shanti se maan gai toh theek hai warna tede tarike aate hai mujhe.

Shivaay: tum pagal ho...

Anika: bata rahe hai ya puch rahe hai?

Shivaay: bata raha hun

Anika: toh mujhe pata hai batane ki zarrorat nahi hai.

She again turned and saw the same scene. "Yeh Mahir kuch bol kyu nahi raha?" Thought Anika.

"Chiis.... Mahir..... Mahir" called Anika. He turned and Anika actioned him to say something. He nodded and called her name. "Bela!!"

Bela looked at him.

Bela: aap yahan kya kar rahe hai Mr. Sehgal?

Mahir gulped hard hearing Mr. Sehgal but still composing himself he spoke.

Mahir: mujhe tum se kuch baat karni hai.

Bela (standing up): kya?... (walking towards her wardrobe) mujhe koi baat nahi karni.

But she felt a tug on her wrist. She stopped and saw Mahir's hand.

Mahir: aaj nahi Bela. Please aaj nahi. Aaj tujhe meri baat sun ni padegi

Bela: mujhe kuch nahi sun na

Mahir: please Bela. Kal toh tu chali jayegi. Acha apne bachpan ke dost ki toh baat sunle. Please.

She saw him in verge of crying. "Sunle meri maa" whispered Anika. Shivaay nodded asked her to listen. Bela sighed and nodded.

Bela: say.

Mahir: I am sorry. Maine bohat galat behave kiya. I am sorry jab tujhe meri zarrorat thi tab tera saath na dene kiye liye. I am sorry Anika ke baare mein kuch bhi bakwas kar ne ke liye. I am sorry. I am sorry for everything Bela. Please mujhe maaf kar do.

Saying he hugged her hiding his face in her neck. She stood still without any movement. Anika and Shivaay too plead her to forgive him. Suddenly she felt something wet on her neck. It was Mahir's tears. That's it. She too wrapped her hands and let a sob out.

Bela: I am sorry too Mahir....

Anika and Shivaay smiled gave a high five to each other.

Bela: I am sorry too. Maine bhi tujhse bewajah hi jagda kiya, humara rista bhi tood diya. I am sorry. Shivaay ke baare mein bhi bohat kuch galat bola. I am sorry

He broke the hug and joined their heads together.

Anika: chalo mera kaam toh ho gaya. Let's go.

Shivaay nodded and they went.

Bela: I am sorry

Mahir: I am sorry too. Par waada karo mujh se dur jaane ki baat..... baat kya yeh khayal bhi apne dimag mein nahi laogi.

Bela: nahi. Kabhi nahi.

Mahir: I love you Bela

Bela: I love you too Mahir.

Finally the broken relation was mended with a deep liplock.

Next morning.

Anika woke up early and went to kitchen and was preparing breakfast. Shivaay came there and back hugged her. She jerked.

Anika: Shivaay.... you scared me.

Shivaay: good morning

Anika: good morning.

Shivaay: finally 6 mahine baad Anika ke haath ka bana khana milega.

Anika smiled. Shivaay nudged in her neck. Anika closed her eyes.

Anika: Shiv.... Shivaay what are you doing?

Shivaay: kuch nahi.

Anika: leave me Shivaay

He didn't listen and continued. "Chodiye mujhe Shivaay" said Anika jerking him away.

Anika: kya kar rahe the aap?

Shivaay: Anika...

Anika (interrupting): Shivaay... please don't do this. I know aap mujh se pyaar karte hai. But I don't. Yeh sab kar ke humari dosti mat todiye. You are my friend that's it

Shivaay: really? Yeh sirf dosti hai?

Anika: haan

Shivaay: but friend don't kiss Anika.

She looked at him while he too did the same.

Shivaay: tell me Anika. Kya sach mein sirf dosti hai? Bolo Anika

Anika: haan

Shivaay: nahi. It's not just friendship. Yeh baat tumhein bhi pata hai aur mujhe bhi. Batao mujhe who kiss her just friend?

He air quoted "just friend"

Shivaay: tell me

Anika: I don't wanna talk about this

Shivaay: kyu? Kyu ke tumhare pass koi jawab nahi hai. Hai na?

Anika: Shivaay please....

Shivaay: kya please?....

Before he could say anything further Gauri came there.

Gauri: good morning di, good morning bhaiyaa

Anika: good morning

Shivaay: good morning

Gauri: kya kar rahe the?

Anika: kuch nahi. Nasta ready hai sab ko bula le

Gauri: ji.

She went and Anika set the table. Shivaay sighed and went out. Everyone gathered had breakfast. BeHir didn't tell anyone about their patch up. After breakfast all were seated in the hall. Shivaay had apologised for his behaviour and she forgave him

Anika: chalo sab ki packing ho gai na?

Gauri Soumya Tia and Sahil agreed.

Anika: Bela teri?

Bela: a..... woh...

Anika: kya woh? Hui ke nahi? Kuch baaki hai toh jaldi kar le we are leaving.

Mahir: koi kahin nahi jayega

Gauri: matlab?

Mahir: matlab yeh ke.....

Anika: haan jaanti hun tum dono ke bich sulah ho gai hai.

All (except Shivaay and BeHir): kyaa!!!!

Tia: yeh kab hua?

Bela: ka... kal raat ko

Soumya: aur aap ab bata rahi hai?

Om: inhone kahan bataya. Di ne bataya.

Sahil: matlab hum yahin rahenge?

Anika: nahi. Hum jaa toh rahe hi hai.

Shivaay: kyu?? Ab kyu ja na hai?

Anika: woh....

Tej: haan Anika yeh ghar tumhara hi hai.

Anika: I know uncle par ab bohat hua ab hum yahan kitna rahenge? Ab hume jaana ho ga uncle. Gauri ki shaadi se pehle usse apna ghar wapish karne ka wada kiya tha maine. Ab woh waada pura karne ka waqt ho gaya hai.

Oberois were confused. While Gauri gasped.

Jhanvi: hum kuch samje nahi Anika.

Anika: samjati hun.

She narrated everything her identity and everything.

Anika: ab hume wapish jana hai. Apne ghar.

Tej: tum..... tum Avinash ki beti ho?

Anika: ji uncle

He hugged her and kissed her forehead. He did the same with Gauri and Sahil.

Tej: tumhein pata hai maine tum kitna dhunda. Jab mujhe pata chala Anand ne tumare aur Gauri ke saath.... Jhanvi kaha tha na maine. I feel connected to them. I finally found my daughter.

Anika: yes you did Bade uncle

Tej: you still remember.

Anika: main kuch nahi bhulti.

Dadi, Jhanvi, Shakti, Pinky too hugged them. While ShivOmRuHir were confused

Rudra: yeh kya ho raha hai?

ShivOmHir: exactly

Tej: Avinash Modi mera bohat acha dost tha. We were like brothers. Shivaay tumhein toh pata hai na

Shivaay: yes bade papa. Par main kabhi unki family se mila nahi.

Anika: So Bela ja jaldi se packing kar le.

Bela nodded and went. Mahir was following her but Rudra stopped her.

Rudra: kahan chale bhaiyaa?

Mahir: woh....

Rudra: kya woh? Bhabhi ke piche ja rahe the?

Mahir: haan. Jane de na

Rudra: nahi bikul nahi.

Om: haan Mahir. Tune hum se chupaya ke tum dono ke bich sulah ho gai hai. Saza toh milegi.

Mahir: arey yaar

Shivaay: naa bhai. Yeh baat toh sahi hai.

They forced Mahir to sit. All were taling to each other. While Mahir was sitting with a grumpy face. Anika noticed.

Anika: arey bhai jaane do usse. Jao Mahir.

His face lit up and immediately ran inside without letting anyone speak. All laughed at his antics. After a while both came out.

Anika: ho gaya?

Bela: hmm....

Anika: chalo Chaki, Tingu, Sumo, Sahil tum log bhi apna bag leke aao

All nodded and bought their bags. All were ready to leave. All left to Modi Villa. Anika asked Oberois to come there. They happily agreed

Anika: andar se toh aur beautiful hai.

All entered in.

(Guys D and Gauri Bela Tia ka emotional moment aap log guess karlo please. Mujhe kuch suj nahi raha. 🙏🙏)

*******

It been two week since Anika and all left Oberoi Mansion. OmRuHir do meet everyone. But our Shivaay and Anika didn't even got the time to talk.

Anika was very busy handling the jewellery showrooms and business. Shivaay missed Anika like hell.

Now been 14 days since they met. Anika too missed everyone and Shivaay. They hardly talk.

It was the fresh morning. Shivaay woke up.

Shivaay: happy birthday Shivaay!!

He self wished himself and got up from the bed. After sometime he went to have breakfast. Everyone were present there.

Shivaay: good morning everyone

Everyone: good morning

He expected a birthday wish but no one wished. Not even Rudra who never miss his birthday. He felt hurt but soon shrugged his thought off.

Whole day passed no one wished him. Not even a message from Anika or anyone.

He was going back to home after office hours. Khanna was driving.

Khanna: a.... bhaiyaa

Shivaay: haan?

Khanna: happy birthday

Shivaay: chalo kisiko toh yaad hai. Thank you Khanna

Khanna smiled and turned the car left. Shivaay frowned.

Shivaay: Khanna kahan ja rahe ho? Ghar toh....

But he stopped the car and went out to open the door for him. Khanna pulled him out.

Shivaay: Khanna what is this?

But he got no response and Khanna pulled him inside. It was a pose hotel. As he entered everything was black. Khanna left his hand.

Shivaay: Khanna kahan ho tum?

Suddenly he felt a spotlight on his face. He covered his eyes and blinked it to adjust with the light.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHIVAAY/BHAIYAA" screamed everyone. All the lights turned on. He smiled broadly.

All the family members were present there (except Anika) all sung the birthday song along with the other people.

Shivaay (with broad smile): thank you everyone. Toh yeh tha aapka surprise?

Rudra: happy birthday bhaiyaa

He hugged him. OmHir too hugged him. All wished him.

Shivaay: thank you everyone. (To other people) thank you everyone. Please aap sab apna khana continue kijiye.

One man: happy birthday bro. Cake zarror khilana

Shivaay (chuckled): thank you. And haan cake zarror mile ga.

His eyes were searching Anika.

Rudra: chale bhaiyaa. Cake cut karte hai.

Shivaay: haan. A.... Gauri Anika nahi aai?

"Mere dost ka birthday hai aur main na aaun. Aisa ho sakta hai?" Spoke Anika who came with the cake from behind. He smiled and turned.

Anika: Happy Birthday Shivaay.

She hugged him.

Shivaay: thank you.

Anika: sorry

Shivaay (frowned): kyu?

Anika: 2 hafte se aap se baat nahi kar pai. Bohat kaam tha.

Shivaay: it's okay. I understand

Anika: kaisa laga surprise?

Shivaay: bohat acha.

Sahil: chalo na cake cut karo na. Mujhe khana hai.

All chuckled Shivaay cut the cake. He fed everyone and asked the waiter to disturb to everyone.

All had their dinner. As the dinner was over Rudra announced

Rudra: now gift time. Yeh lo bhaiyaa meri taraf se.

He gifted a wrist watch "Yeh meri taraf se" said Om handling a painting to him. It was the photo of ShivOmRuHir with AniRiBeYa. Rest to gave him gift all boys stuffs. Now it was Anika's turn.

Rudra: Anika di ab aapki baari.

Anika nodded and stood on the middle of the table. All were confused expect D, Gauri and Bela.

Shivaay: yeh kya kar rahi ho?

Anika: rukiye. (To everyone present in the restaurant) Ladies and gentlemen. Please do min meri baat suniye

All looked at her.

A Man: kyu hua?

Anika: batati hun. I have to tell you all something.

A girl: kya?

Anika: I Am In Love

Shivaay's eyes widened while the rest smiled.

Anika went near Shivaay and sat to his height.

Anika: and do you know woh kon hai?

Shivaay: kon?

Anika: pehle aa upar aaiye?

Shivaay: Anika......

Anika: aaiye na.

She pulled him up and made him stand in the middle of the table.

Shivaay: kya kar rahi ho Anika?

Anika: rukiye na.

She turned to everyone.

Anika: aur usska naam hai Shivaay Singh Oberoi. Humara birthday boy.

Shivaay stood rooted but her next step was more shocking. She sat on her knees.

Anika: I Love You Shivaay. Will you Marry me?

She took out a mini box. It was ring. A couple ring.

Anika: will you?

He was still in shock.

A man: say yes bro. Ladki khud propose kar rahi hai. Lucky ho tum.

All too encouraged " Say yes!!! Say yes!!!"

Rudra: arey bhaiyaa bolo na.

Shivaay smiled and made her stand up.

Shivaay: YES!!!

Anika smiled and slide the ring in his ring finger. He too slide the other ring. Everyone clapped and howled for them.

Anika kissed his lips shocking him but he responded. The howling increased. They broke it quickly and rested their forehead together.

So they finally confessed their feelings and got tied in a wedding knot.

***********

The Happy End.

Sorry guys to end it without any notice. I didn't want to drag it further cause if I will it become boring and I don't want that.

I am sorry again if the ending was not what you have expected.

Love Love❤❤
