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

Next morning,
Annika's house,

Annika-"Sahil, come here."

Annika said loudly from the bedroom. Sahil who was busy watching TV, came inside and saw Annika who was looking in the mirror. He sighed in disbelief.

Sahil-"What happened Annika didi?"

A-"How am I looking?"

Sa-"10....."

Annika turned and looked at him in confusion.

A-"10?? What 10??"

Sa-"10th time. It's 10th time now. You are asking me the same question. Kitni baar answer dega yeh bechara chota baccha?"

Annika smiled and called him near her. Sahil came to her.

Sa-"What??"

Annika smiled sweetly.

A-"Sach sach batao na kaisi lag rahi hu?"

Sa-"Ekdum kadak, Khidkitod khubsoorat..... ab khush??"

A-"Thank you."

Annika smiled at him and again turned towards the mirror.

Sa-"But Annika didi, nothing will happen with this."

She turned to him.

A-"Means??"

Sa-"There are two reasons. First, SSO is so hurt now, you know that right? N may be he is now angry on you because of your words. So, yeh sirf aise ready hoke kya hoga??"

Annika started thinking.

A-"Hmm, I know nothing will happen with only this. But don't worry, I have many plans and many surprises for him. Maanana toh Shivaay ko padega hi."

Sa-"Hmm ok"

A-"N second reason??"

Sa-"Reason nhi prediction."

A-"Which prediction?"

Sa-"Look, you are wearing this beautiful Saree today n looking pretty n all. But......"

A-"But? What??"

Sa-"What if SSO don't come to office today?"

Annika looked at him angrily.

A-"What do you mean?"

Sahil just shrugged his shoulders. Annika started thinking.

A-"He went to Bangalore yesterday. According to Rudy he came back today morning. So he will definitely come. Yeah he will come Sahil."

Sa-"You are convincing me or yourself? He is angry at you. So what if he decided not to come in that office everyday."

Annika looked at him.

A-"No way Sahil. Stop thinking like that."

Annika said but she was worried too. She hits her forehead with her hand.

A-"Annika if this is true na then it's because of you only. Gadhi kahiki. Why you said all those things to him?"

Sa-"Because you are Annika. The great Annika who always did all the things first and then started crying for what you did. Action pehle leti hai n sochti baad me hai. Like SSO. Same to same ho dono."

A-"Sahil, I have an idea....."

Sa-"What?"

A-"Call him n ask, is he coming to office today or not."

Sa-"I think you forgot, he is not receiving my calls." Sahil said casually.

A-"No no. I am sure he will answer now. Just try it."

Annika went to the table and came back with Sahil's phone.

A-"Here. Call him."

Sahil looked at her.

Sa-"Nhi bolenge didi"

A-"Just call him Sahil"

Sahil looked at her for few seconds and then took phone from her and dialled Shivaay's number.

A-"What happened?"

Sa-"Told you. He is not receiving."

Annika was sad now.

A-"Now??"

Sa-"It's all your mistake. Because of you he is not talking to me from two days. Milne bhi nhi aaye mujhse."

Sahil said sadly. Annika looked at his face and felt guilty. She sat on her knees in front of him.

A-"I am sorry Sahil. It's all because of me. Naa mein Shivaay ko kuch bolti aur naahi woh yeh krte. I am sorry."

Sahil didn't say anything.

A-"But now I promise you, Shivaay will talk with you. No no he will come to meet you. Pakka"

Sa-"Really??"

A-"Yeah. I will bring him here."

Sa-"Today??" Sahil asked in excitement.

A-"Hmm aaj ka mushkil hai but tomorrow pakka"

Sa-"Pinky promise?"

A-"Pinky promise. Shivaay tujhse milne aayenge. "

Sahil smiled widely. Annika also smiled and kissed his cheek. Sahil immediately wiped his cheek with his hand.

Sa-"Chiiii..... I am a big boy now. Go and give this to your Shivaay"

Sahil said and Annika blushed hard.

A-"Badmaash..... I kissed you because I want to thank you Sahil. You helped me so much."

Sa-"That toh I was doing from last one month. But aapke dimaag ki batti abhi jali. But what to do? Everyone is not smart like me n SSO."

Sahil said raising his collar.

A-"SSO ke chamche"

Annika said and hugged him.

A-"Really Sahil. Thank you, thank you so much for scolding me. Thank you for make me understand all the things. Thank you so much. Tu nhi hota toh kya hota mera?"

Sahil smiled.

Sa-"Mein hu isliye aap ho. Warna aap toh pata nhi kya krti..... Intelligent people are needed in everyone's life,you know. Jaise aapke life me mein hu, SSO hai."

A-"Haa bas ho gayi khud ki taarif"

Annika said breaking the hug.

A-"But sach hai, tum dono nhi hote toh mera kya hota? Mein aise hi akele....."

Tears formed in Annika's eyes.

Sa-"Offo don't start now. You are doing all this makeup from last one hour. Kharaab ho gaya toh kya fayda? SSO bhaag jaayenge dekhke aapko."

Annika hits on his shoulder and both started laughing. Sahil stopped after sometime and looked at Annika.

A-"Kya hua? Aise kya dekh raha hai?"

      Annika was still laughing.

Sa-"You are smiling like this after one month Annika didi."

      Annika stopped laughing and looked at him.

Sa-"Finally meri khidkitod Annika didi wapas aa rahi hai."

Annika smiled and cupped his face by her hands.

A-"I am sorry, mein khud itni pareshaan thi aur tujhe bhi kr rahi thi. But now I promise you, mein hamesha aise hi rahungi khidkitod."

Sa-"Yayyyyyyyyyy"

        Sahil hugged her happily and Annika smiled hugging him back.

A-"I love you Sahil."

Sa-"I love you too. Haa but....."

A-"But??"

Sa-"SSO se thoda kam."

Sahil said and started laughing. Annika smiled widely and ruffled his hairs.

A-"I know I know. Kya kr sakte hai ab........ Ab chalo, ready ho na tum?"

Sa-"Yes. But when will they come?"

Before Annika says something door bell rang.

A-"Dekho aa gaye. Go and get your medicines box. I will open the door."

Sahil nodded and Annika went to open the door. She smiled looking at OmRu who were standing at the door.

Rudra-"Woww bhabhi you are looking so beautiful."

A-"Thank you Rudra. Come."

OmRu came inside.

Om-"Bhabhi, this is for you. Gauri ne bheja hai. Your favorite Aloo-Puri."

A-"Aloo-Puri??? Wowwww."

Annika took that Tiffin box from him.

R-"Bhabhi this house is really very beautiful."

Rudra said looking around.

O-"Yeah. Very nice."

A-"Tumhare Bhaiya ki hi choice hai."

R-"O, jabtak bhabhi yaha hai na hum bhi yahi rehne aa jaate hai."

A-"Nice idea"

Annika laughed and said,

O-"Bhabhi where is our champ?"

"I am here Om Bhaiya." Sahil said coming there. Om and Rudra came to him and hugged him.

R-"Sahil, Sahil , Sahil we missed you so much"

Rudra said picking him up and twirling around.

O-"Rudy sambhalke."

Rudra made Sahil stand on his feet.

O-"How is your leg Sahil?"

Sa-"Fine. It will be more fine after operation."

O-"Yeah, now let's go"

R-"Haa, bhabhi we will drop you in your office first. Then we can go to the Oberoi Mansion."

A-"OmRu....."

Om and Rudra looked at her and saw she was tensed about something.

O-"What happened bhabhi?"

Om asked coming towards her.

A-"Shivaay office toh aayenge na aaj?"

Om and Rudra started laughing. Annika looked at them angrily.

A-"What??"

R-"Bhabhi is baat ki tension hai aapko? Don't worry, he will come. Aap jaha......"

O-"Shivaay waha"

R-"Yesss. Don't worry bhabhi. All the best."

O-"Bhabhi, don't take tension. Everything will be fine. All the best. But ha agar Shivaay ne phir kuch kiya na toh batana mujhe, acchi khabar lunga."

Annika smiled.

A-"Thank you now, let's go. Sahil don't trouble them ha. N OmRu drop him back before Shivaay comes to Oberoi Mansion."

O-"Yeah bhabhi, don't worry."

A-"And Sahil take care."

Sa-"Haa Annika Didi. I will take care of myself. All the best for your work. "

R-"Now let's go. Yahi shaam ho jaayegi warna"

Rudra said and they left from there.

Oberoi Mansion,

            Shivaay came to the dinning table for breakfast and was surprised to see all his favorite dishes there. He looked at all ladies who were present there.

Shivaay-"What's this?"

Gauri-"Breakfast bade Bhaiya. Come let's eat."

      Shivaay sat on his seat and looked around.

Daadi-"What happened Billu?"

S-"Where is bade Papa and dad?"

Jhanvi-"They left already. Some important meeting."

S-"ohh....n OmRu?? Where are they?"  
  
Bhavya-"Woh......woh....pata nhi."

S-"Pata nhi means?"

G-"Pata nhi means pata nhi bade Bhaiya. Subah subah gaye hai. "

D-"Haa Billu, I think Om ke studio me kuch kaam tha."

J-"Shivaay, don't waste time. Chalo breakfast krlo. Phir office bhi toh jaana hai."

S-"Yeah. Waise what's special today? Why all these dishes?"

G-"Because we are so so happy today."

S-"Why??"

B-"Kyuki kal An....."

J-"Bhavya....."

B-"Woh.....kal.....kal hume ek new case mila toh"

      She said looking at Jhanvi and daadi who were looking at her angrily. Shivaay noticed that.

       He was confused now. In fact he was so confused about something from morning only. Yesterday he went to Bangalore to support his IPL team.  They won the match so he was happy. He came back from Bangalore at 4 AM. When he entered his room he felt something. He felt Annika's presence near him. He don't know why but he was feeling her presence near him. But then he stopped thinking about that and then talked with Annika's picture for sometime,as it's his daily routine. Then he tried to sleep and surprisingly he slept peacefully. Usually from last one month, he was not able to sleep properly. But today, he slept peacefully. And now this..... His all favorite dishes for breakfast and these ladies are behaving strange. So he was more confused now.

D-"Billu..... Billu....."

       Shivaay came back from his thoughts and looked at daadi.

S-"Huh??....."

D-"Where are you lost? What happened?"

S-"Nothing. Let's eat."

      Shivaay said and started filling his plate with food. He was taking some pasta when his eyes fell on the.....

S-"Aloo-Puri??"

       All ladies looked at each other.

D-"H.....haa. Mera mann kr raha tha khane ka. Kitne dino dino se nhi khayi na..."

S-"Hmm from last month."

      He said sadly and started eating.

S-"Kaash Annika yeh Aloo-Puri kha pati."

      He murmured but Gauri and Bhavya heard.

G(whispered)-"Don't worry Bhaiya, she will"

S-"Kuch kaha tumne Gauri?"

G-"Nahi woh.....Hum keh rahe the pack krke de Bhojai ko?"

D-"Haa Billu tu de dena na use."

S-"Daadi....."

D-"Ok. Chodo. Khao ab."

      Shivaay nodded and silently ate his breakfast.

S-"Daadi, now I have to go."

       Daadi nodded and Shivaay bend down to take blessings from daadi and Jhanvi.

B-"All the best Bhaiya"

S-"All the best??"

B-"Ha...woh... Kitna kaam hota hai na aapko. Isliye."

G-"Haa haa. All the best. And Annika bhojai ko hamara namaste kehna. Aur ha don't get angry on her."

      Shivaay just looked at her.

S(mind)-"What happened to them today?"

     He just nodded and left from there.

Shivaay's office,

      Annika came there before the 9 AM. She thanked OmRu and they left from there. Annika went inside and sat on her chair. She was continuously looking at her watch and her heart was beating so fast.

    Ramona who just entered into the office looked at her and came to her.

Ramona-"Annika, you came so early today."

      Annika just smiled and looked at her watch again.

R-"What happened? Something is wrong?"

A-"Something was wrong. But now everything is just prefect."

R-"Means??"

A-"Nothing. Mam I want to ask you something"

R-"What?"

A-"Not now"

      Annika said looking at the entrance.

A-"I will talk to you later. Office ke baad?"

R-"Ok fine."

      Annika smiled and again looked at her watch.

R-"By the way Annika, you are looking so pretty today. Waise, Saree n all ha..... Something special?"

A-"Nhi woh....."

R-"OMG today is your birthday?"

A-"No no. Nothing special"

R-"Then?"

A-"Aise hi...... Aa gayeee"

       She jumped from her place. Ramona looked at her shocked.

R-"Kon?"

      She said looking around.

A-"N.....no.. koi nhi. Mam now I have some work. We will talk in the evening. If you are free then,ok??....."

R-"Ok....."

      Before Ramona says something Annika sat on her chair and acted like she is reading one file with full concentration. Ramona looked at her as she was so confused about her behavior and then left from there as Annika was busy now.

     Outside the office, Shivaay came out of his car and felt Annika's presence. He smiled widely and started walking towards the office. But stopped in middle.

S-"What's wrong with you Shivaay? You are angry on her. So stop smiling."

       He warned himself and went inside the office. Annika was eagerly waiting for him. As soon as he entered in the office Annika looked at him. Tears formed in her eyes when she saw him. She remembered whatever she heard from family members yesterday. She just wanted to go to him and hugged him tightly. But then they were in the office. So Annika controlled herself and wiped her tears and then looked at him with smile playing on her lips.

      Shivaay came inside and he just wants to look at her but he controlled himself and then looked at his employees who were wishing him good morning. He wished them back and move forward. He wished everyone and while doing this he just looked at her from the corner of his eyes. She was standing near her desk like others and was smiling looking at him. Shivaay was shocked by this. Then he looked at her straight and was surprised to see her in Saree.

       She was looking so beautiful in that Saree that Shivaay forgot everything and was looking at her without blinking her eyes. Annika looked at him and their eyes locked with each other. Shivaay was so confused as he saw her eyes showing the same feelings which he was feeling from the last month.

      Without breaking the eyelock Shivaay started walking towards her. Annika now smiling more widely as she saw Shivaay was coming towards her. But to her disappointment, Shivaay's phone started ringing and he came out of his dreamland. He just looked around and then at his phone. He received his phone and again looked at her. She was still looking at him. Shivaay turned his gaze to other employees.

S(mind)-"What's wrong with you Shivaay? What are you doing? Control yourself."

      Shivaay just hummed on phone and cuts the call. He then looked at other employees and just smiled and moved towards his cabin. He decided that he will not look at her. So he was walking fastly but stopped near her desk as she said,

A-"Good morning Shivaay sir"

     In a sweet voice. Shivaay frozed at his place hearing her chirpy, khidkitod, bindhast voice after many days. He just looked at her and she smiled. She was about to say something when he turned again and left from there hurriedly.

      Annika laughed and sat on her chair.

A-"First step was nice. Awesome... Khidkitod... 10 out of 10 Annika."

      She said patting her back.

Shivaay's cabin,

      Shivaay came inside and closed the door behind him.

S-"What happened to her? Why she was behaving like Annika?"

      He was so confused now. At first, she was smiling looking at him, then he saw so much love in her eyes for him, and above all
she was looking so beautiful in that Saree. Why she is wearing that today?

      His mind was filled with many questions now. He remembered what she said 2 days ago. N now this. Two things are totally apposite. Why??

      Shivaay came out of his thoughts and decided that he will not think about her behavior now. He took one deep breath and came to his desk.

       He came to his desk and sat on his chair. He then looked at his table and surprised to see one big bouquet there.

S-"What's this?? Ohh..... May be some of our sponsors send it for yesterday's win."

      Shivaay took that bouquet in his hands. He just smiled looking at the flowers. He was about to place it on table when he noticed something. One note was on the table below that bouquet.

      Shivaay kept that bouquet on the table and took that paper and opened it.

"Saare Aansoon Toh Ho Tere
Aur Aankhein Ho Humaari..
Tere Dard Humein Jo Mile Pyaar Mein..
Hum Khushi Se Yun Bhar Jayenge.....
Mere Yaara Tere Gham Agar Payenge
Humein Teri Hai Kasam, Hum Sanwar Jayenge....."

      Shivaay read that note and he was confused.

S-"What's this?"

      He again read that note. He was not getting anything. He turned that paper and was searching name or some other information. But nothing was there.

      He again looked at those lines for few seconds and then his eyes widened in shock as he realized.....

S-"Annika? It's her hand writing."

        Shivaay was so shocked by this realization. He again read those lines.

S-"What this means? What she is trying to do?"

      He was so confused now. Before two days, she accused him for many things. And today behaving like everything is good between them.

S-"What's wrong with her? N what's this means?"

      Shivaay said looking at those lines again.

      Outside, Annika was looking at his cabin every now and then. After sometime, she saw one peon entering his cabin. Annika smiled widely.

A-"Wowww....... Now 9...8...7...6...5...4...3..."

         "Annika mam, Shivaay sir ne aapko bulaya hai." Peon said coming towards her. Annika jumped in happiness.

A-"I knew it. Thank you Bhaiya."

      Annika said and ran towards his cabin. That peon stood there looking at her in confusion.

Precap :-

Annika-"Ok. You don't want this na? Fine."

      Annika said wiping her tears. Shivaay didn't say anything he just went to his chair and sat on it. Annika took those flowers and throws them near the dustbin and left from there. Shivaay went there and picked those flowers and kept them on table . Annika who was seeing this from outside, smirked and left from there.

(And previous part ka precap bhi aayega next me ☺☺)
