Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

Ayush -  " maa mai anu di ke room mai jaa rha hu merko mat bulana.. "

Mit-" haa abh toh tumhari anu di aagyi toh maa ka kya kaam " she said

Ayush - " sahi toh kha apne.. Par aapko pta haina anu di 5 saal baad aayi hai "

Mitali-" jii pinky jii phle hyi anu ko humne force kiya tha par iss bar woh glti wapis nhi karegye.  Jab uska maan hoga tab karegye "
Pinky stood their with a fake smile.. 

In annika room -

Ayu -  " diiiiii app abh kabhi is bandar ko chod ke maat jana merko leke jaana.." he said

Anni-" Aachaa aabh mai kahi jaugyi hyi nhi ite saal aapne sai dur rahi uss ki wajah sai par abh nhi abh yeh Annika kya cheez hai woh batayegyi " she said massaging his hair as ayush was sleeping on her lap

Ayush - " Mujhe toh laga bhi nhi tha ki woh Shivaay oberio aaesa nikle gaa..aacha hua aapne usse shaadhi nhi ki.. Woh Tia aur ragini jaisi ladki ke liye hyi hai "

Annika-" Mtlb mai smjhi nhi ayu kuch hua h kya "

P1- " Humare bina hyi..."

P2- "Annika di aap hume bhul gye naa apko meri yaad nhi aayi " the person said

Annika looked up and saw her two more brother standing their crying

Annika - "om. ..ru. rudra " she said and ran towards them and engulfed them in a bone crushing hug

Om - " Mt khe. Humari yaad nhi aayi ite saalo mai ki ek baar India wapis aajaye " he sajd

Rudra - " Aur nhi toh kya mai Apni khidkitod annika di ko nhi dekhta tha toh Mera din aacha nhi jata tha " .

Annika - " Aacha sorry aage sai aaesa kabhi nhi hogaa pinky promise iss bar maaf kardo " she said and they all hugged her.. Shivaay who was passing by her room stopped seeing the scene.

Shivaay pov -
I never saw omru hugging Ragini or tia.. They always use to distance themselves from them when ever they use to come home but seeing annika with them why i am feeling happy ..??  Jiss ladki nai mujhe ignore kiya shivaay singh OBERIO koo usske liye tu kyu pagal horha hai..  Abhi pinku nhi hai warna woh toh annika ko chode hyi naa.. 

Shiv - "uhmm uhmm" he cleared his throat gaining their attention when annika looked towards him he stood rotted seeing her.. How much she has changed her look of carrying herself ,and definitely the strong confident aura  .

Om - " Aree shivaay tu yha kya kar rha hai.. "
He said

Shiv - " kyu mai nhi aa sakta kya.. Mai yha sai jaa rha tha but tumlog ko dekkh ke ruk gya " he said eyeing towards annika.. Who was busy talking to her baby bro ..

Ayush - " Chalo sab neeche Chalte hai maa ne khane ke liye bula ya hai " everyone nodded and left leaving the two disturbed souls alone

Shiv-" uhh..hi annika " he said stammering for the first time which shocked him to the core.

Annika - " Hello Mr OBERIO " she said smirking .

Shiv - " Annika tum mr oberio kab sai bulane lag gyi " he said with a hurt tone

Annika - " Jabse maine kisi apne ko khoke kisi anajaan admi sai mulaqt ki thi tab se jab shiv bulati thi tab aapko pasand nhi tha irritation hota tha na. Toh woh chod diya mai apni nhi hu aapki joh abh aapko Billu ya shiv sai bulaugyi. " she said and left..

Shivaay - (yeh meri annika nhi hai,meri annika mujhe dukh dena nhi janti thi dukh ko sukh naj badalna janti thi, yeh woh nhi hai joh humesa mujhe khush karne ke liye khud roti thi)  He sadlt left from their.. 

In dinning are -

Pinky - " Waise annika tu abh kya kregyi mtlb kuch jobs yaa.. "

Annika - " Pinky aunty mai abh Kappor industries ko sambhhalu gyi taki papa aur mummy khud ke liye samaye nikal paye " .she said while her parents looked at her with adoration.

The hall was filled with laughter echoing around..as everyone shared some childhood memories ..annika was laughing and their stood shivaay busy admiring her laughter ..
Ayush saw these and fisted his hand together but calmed himself as he didn't want to create any scene so he just excused himself

Ayush - " Shivaay can you please come outside for a min " he said and Shivaay nodded

Shiv - " kya hua bol.. Kuch kaam hai " he said non interested

Ayush - " Meri bhen sai dur rahoo agar wapis uske ankh mai aasu aaye. Tumhare kaaran agr woh wapis kahi gyi Tumhare karan mujhsai bura koi nhi hoga " he said holding his collar.

Shiv - " What the hell yeh kya khe rhe ho tum aur if you don't know mai tumsai bara hu so give me some respect Ayush " he said pushing him

Ayus - " Huh joh khud kisi aur ko respect nhi karta kisi aur ko bol rha hai respect dene wahhh. Maine aapko respect dena tab hyi chod diya jab aapne meri dii ka majak udaaya smjhe Mr OBERIO mujhe sab pta hai.. Samjhe and i warn you to be in your limits " he said in anger and left..

Shivaay didn't knew this was just a teaser that he got today.. More is to explore

                      *************
It was evening when all oberios decided to departure elders were busy talking about something but were soon disturbed by a voice from back

P1- " This is not fair annie yaar tu aagyi aur koi bola bhi nhi mujhe " .

Ann - " Adii...tu...tu kab aayaa " she said running and hugging him while adii twirled her everyone went aww leaving one frustrated soul behind.

Adi - " huhh ek ayush hyi hai joh mujhe yaad karta hai warnaa iss ghar mai koi yaad karta hai uncle aunty yeh expected nhi tha "

Mit-" chup karja badmass jab annika aayi tab hyi tu aaya hai warna yeh mahasay ko toh yha ka rasta bhi nhi pta " she said holding his ears

Abhi-"Aree mitali uske kaan toh chodo. Beechara thaka hua aaya hoga " seeing his puppy face

Ann-"thaaaka wah aur yeh huhhh phir cricket ita khel ke kya fyada hua iska "

They were busy talking with him while Shivaay stoood their in jealousy

Shi -" mere sai aake toh mili bhi nhi jabki i am his childhood Bestfriend " he said in low voice but om heard it

Om-" Question yourself are you really her childhood Bestfriend"?

After thinking shivaay asked himself "am i "?
