Hello friends,
How are you all?

I am here with the new update.

Before you read it, please read this note.

I have not planned any rain scene before. I just planned to write that Shivaay agreed to drop her then they went to Annika's house.

But since many of you wanted a car/rain scene. So, I wrote this part. This is not a typical romantic rain scene. I just wrote the one which came in my mind and after writing it I liked it. N I think this scene suits to this story also. So thank for all who asked for car/rain scene. I am sure you will like it.

Don't forget to tell me your views about it.

Warning:- Lengthy update

Happy reading..... 😊😊
******************************

Annika-"Sir it's too late. N no bus or auto is available. How can I able to go home now?"

      Annika said fake crying. Shivaay looked at the empty road and then at Annika. She was shivering as there was still heavy rain going on with the lightning and thunder. And strong wind was blowing around. Shivaay just looked at her once and open the door at passenger side. Annika looked at the door and then at him.

Shivaay-"Come n sit. I will drop you."

      He said without looking at her. Annika danced in her mind. She smiled widely and then sat in the car and looked at Shivaay.

      Few seconds passed like this. Now Annika was confused why he is not driving a car. She waited for more few seconds and then asked,

A-"Why we are here till now?"

      Shivaay looked at her.

S-"We are enjoying the rain. Can't you see"

      He said sarcastically.

A-"Really?? Aww..... But for that we have to go out Shivaay. Let's go out n enjoy rain."

      She said excitedly and Shivaay looked at her angrily.

S-"Ms. Trivedi...."

A-"What??"

S-"Don't you know the simple thing? One have to put seatbelt after sitting in the car."

        He said looking at her and then looked at the road.

A-"Ohh..... Sorry"

      Annika said and tried to put seatbelt. But as we all know... whenever Annika tries to put seatbelt everytime she fails . Same happens this time too. Shivaay was looking at her from corner of his eyes. He sighed in disbelief and turned towards her.

S-"Why can't you learn to do this?"

A-"I don't need it. Because I know you will be always there to do this."

      She said looking at him lovingly and he turned his gaze to the road. After few seconds he turned towards her and fasten her seatbelt without looking at her. Annika was smiling while he was doing that. When Shivaay went near her to put the seatbelt, he got to know that she was shivering as her clothes were wet and her whole body is cold. Shivaay came back n sat on his seat. He then pulled out handkerchief from his pocket and gave it to her. Annika was confused and looked at his hand which had handkerchief, and then at him.

S-"You will catch cold. Dry your hair."

      Shivaay said and she smiled and took that handkerchief from him. But kept looking at that without doing anything. Shivaay looked at her confused. Before he says something she sneezed.

S-"Told you.... What are you doing Annika ..... Why you are so careless about your health? Everytime you did this. Just dry your hairs fast. You will catch cold otherwise."

      He said and Annika looked at him. Tears formed in her eyes. Shivaay looked at her confused.

S-"What? Why you are looking at me like this?"

A-"You called me Annika after many days. So I just....."

       She couldn't able to complete as tears formed in her eyes. Shivaay looked at her and realized what he said. He don't know what to say. He just looked straight on the road and started his car. Annika was still looking at him. Shivaay knew this but he didn't say anything.

      After sometime Annika snizzed again. She looked away from his face and wiped her face and then dried her hairs slightly. She again looked at Shivaay who was not even looking at her and busy in driving.

A-"Thank you"

S-"....."

A-"I said, thank you"

S-"Why?"

      Shivaay asked without looking at her.

A-"For many things actually. But now I said thanks for the lift n for this."

      She said showing him his handkerchief.

S-"No need to thank me. I did what I felt right. N if there was any other person who was standing in the rain.... I definitely helped him/her too. So don't think you are special or something like that."

      Shivaay said and Annika smiled.

A-"But when did I say that you helped me because I am special or something like that. I just said thank you. That's it."

      Annika said and Shivaay looked at her.

S-"I..... I mean.... I know what you mean."

A-"What??"

S-"I know you will definitely say that I helped you because you are....you are my....."

A-"Because I am your......"

S-"Because.....because... You will say what you said in the office today. So I just cleared it like I did in office "

A-"What I said in office? I can't remember that now. Can you please explain?"

      She said looking at him. Shivaay looked at her and saw she was hiding her smile. He turned his gaze and kept quite. Annika looked at him.

A-"Ohh.... I remember now. You were talking about what happened in the office, hai na? All things which happened when Mr. Singhania came n after that, hai na? That reminds me, you owns me explanation Shivaay."

S-"What??"

A-"Why you did that?"

S-"What?"

A-"Don't be so innocent Shivaay. You very well know what I mean. On one side you said, you don't care for me now, you said we are no one to each other...... N on other side, you saved me from scolding , you still cares for me. That's why you are going to drop me now. N you cares about my health too."

      Annika stopped and looked at Shivaay who was looking at the road and was thinking what to answer her now. Annika continues,

A-"N now I am so confused between your words n your acts. Both are totally apposite from each other. And I want to clear this confusion. I want you to tell me the truth. So tell me what is the truth Shivaay."

      She said looking at him. Shivaay looked at her but turned his gaze to the road and increased the speed. Annika was continuously looking at him.

A-"Shivaay I asked you something. And I want an answer. N you have to give me explanation of your behavior. Come on, say it. Why?"

S-"....."

A-"Shivaay, today I need answer. I will not keep quite till I get my answers."

S-"....."

A-"Shivaay please.....say something na? Please answer me."

      Shivaay looked at her.

S-"How many times I told you Ms. Trivedi. I did all that because you are my employee. N I said na, I could have helped anyone else who is standing in the heavy rain. On this empty road. Be it a boy or any girl. I could have done the same."

      He said in loud voice but without looking at her.

A-"So still you are not admitting it na...... Ok fine"

      She said and looked out of the window. The rain was stopped by now. Only few drops are touching the ground. But there was heavy n strong wind blowing around and that was looking like some storm. Something came in Annika's mind. She looked at Shivaay who was driving the car and by looking at his face, she conclude that he was frustrated by her questions. She turned her gaze to the window and smiled. She slide down that glass window and the heavy wind came inside. Shivaay looked at her side and saw she was smiling looking outside of the window. The wind was too heavy that Annika felt cold and shivered. And then she started sneezing again. Shivaay looked at her and then at window.

S-"Close that window"

      Annika didn't say anything and was looking outside of the window but was continuously sneezing. Shivaay asked her again to close the window but she didn't respond. Shivaay stopped the car and turned towards her and closed that window. Annika looked at him angrily.

A-"Whaattttt????"

S-"What?"

A-"Why you closed that window? I was enjoying and....."

S-"Enjoying? Can't you see... It's a small storm. And you were already shivering due to cold n was sneezing and still opened that window. Koi fikar nhi hai apni hai na?"

      Annika looked at him once angrily and then at the window. She was about to open it again when Shivaay held her hand.

S-"Are you deaf? Can't you just sit here quietly? You are fully drenched. Pehle hi sneeze kr rahi ho. Bimaar padna hai kya? I don't want you to fall ill. So just sit here without doing any stupidity."

      Shivaay said angrily but by his voice anyone could say that  he was so concerned about her health. Annika looked at him and smiled but hides it n asked,

A-"Why?? Why you don't want me to fall ill?"

      She asked and Shivaay looked at her.

S-"Because..... Because....."

A-"Because I am your employee,right?"

      She said and Shivaay didn't say anything. He starts the car again.

A-"Why you are silent now? Just say it na that I am your employee so you are saying this. Bol do aur ek jhooth."

      She said but he kept quite and was driving with the full speed now.

A-"Till when you are planning to do this avoiding drama? Kabtak bhagte rahoge Shivaay? Mujhse nhi khudse bhaag rahe ho abhi aap. I asked you something so you just avoided me for the whole day. N now also...telling me some stupid things that I am your employee, I will help anyone n bla bla...... Kabtak....till when you are planning to do this Shivaay haa? Just admit it you cares for me, you feel for me , you loves me ...just admit it."

      She said with tears in her eyes. Shivaay didn't say anything and didn't even looked at her. She looked at him and saw he was disturbed by her questions but still not saying anything. She sighed in disbelief. She turned her gaze to the road after sometime and shouted,

A-"Stop the car."

      She shouted in the top voice and Shivaay stopped the car in shock. When Annika was saying all those things his mind was thinking about her words and so his eyes were on the road but mind was not there. When she shouted he thought there must be someone on the road. So he stopped the car. He looked at the road and was scared but then he was confused as no one was there. Then he looked at Annika and saw she was removing her seatbelt. Shivaay was so confused about all this now. Annika looked at him after removing the seatbelt.

A-"Thank you so much for your help sir. Now the rain has stopped, so I will go by myself. Sorry for troubling you."

      Annika said looking directly into his eyes and then opened the door and went out of the car. Shivaay's eyes widened in shock. He was thinking about her words when she went out. Shivaay looked at her and saw she went to one bench there and sat on that. Shivaay looked around and saw no one was there and still the strong wind was there with some droplets of rain. N above that there was no lights on the road too. Shivaay looked at her for few seconds and hits his forehead with his hand.

S-"Yeh ladki bilkul pagal hai. What she is trying to do? She very well knew that I will not leave her here alone n go.....still  she is doing so... Why?? Just to prove herself right?? Don't know what's going on in her mind from yesterday. She changed totally from yesterday. But what's the reason behind that? There must be some reason n you have to find out that Shivaay. N with that you have to find out what exactly she wants....the thing which she said that day...4 days before....or the thing which she is saying from yesterday..... I have to find out the exact truth soon."

        Shivaay decided and again looked at Annika, who was sitting on that bench shivering due to cold and was looking here n there with fear as there was no lights on the road. Shivaay knew that she was also looking at him from the corner of her eyes.

S-"Shivaay, do what you decided later. I know she is acting. But for now I have to handle her, I have to make her sir in the car again. It's too cold n she was already sneezing. What if she will fall ill? No no I don't want that.  I have to go n convince her to come with me."

      He said to himself and came out of the car. Annika who was looking at his every action, smiled when she saw him coming out of the car. But she hides her smile and sat there looking down. Shivaay came to her.

S-"What do you think you are doing Ms. Trivedi?"

      He asked angrily. Annika looked up at him and said in surprised tone,

A-"Sir?? You are still here? I said na.. you can go, I'll manage."

S-"Ms. Trivedi, I said I will drop you to your home. So we are not reached there now. Come let's go."

A-"No sir. I will go by myself. You don't have to worry about it. N you helped me because it was raining na, then see now rain has stopped and you don't have to worry about me. Opps.... I forgot you are not worried about me na....sorry sorry. But sir, you go. I will manage"

S-"Ms. Trivedi, go n sit in the car."

      He said in calm tone looking at her as he was not in mood to argue now.

A-"Sir, I said na... I can manage. You go. Because of me you are late too. I am sorry for that. Please go now."

       She also said in slow voice.     Shivaay looked at her angrily and came towards her.

S-"Annika I said go n sit in the car. Don't play games with me now. It's not safe here we have to leave from here as soon as possible "

      Shivaay said and Annika looked at him and smiled widely.

A-"So it means you cares for me and....."

      Before she continues, Shivaay shouted at her,

S-"Stop...... Don't start again. We are already late. Go n sit in the car."

A-"Ok fine. I will come with you."

      She said and Shivaay sighed in relief.

S-"Good. Come"

      He said and and turned to leave from there.

A-"But for that you have to give answers to my all questions."

      Shivaay stopped and turned to her.

S-"What??"

A-"You have to give answers for my all questions then only I will come with you."

      Annika said and Shivaay looked at her angrily.

S-"Are you mad? Can't you hear what I am trying to say? This road is dangerous and we have to leave from here as soon as possible. And you want to play your stupid question-answer game here?"

      He asked angrily and she looked at him.

S-"Come. We have to go from here."

      He said in low voice now and looked at her.

A-"Fine. I will not ask any questions to you."

      She said and Shivaay looked at her surprised as she heard what he said at first attempt. He was about to say something when she said,

A-"But....."

S-"But? But what??"

A-"But I will come with you only when you will admit that you still cares for me. N you did all things because I am your Annika n not because I am your employee."

      Annika said and Shivaay looked at her shocked. Annika smiled looking at his shocked face.

A-"Now say it fast or just go from here."

      Annika said and turned her gaze to other direction. Shivaay stood there looking at her for few seconds. Then said rather shouted,

S-"Ms. Trivedi, I don't want to admit anything. I just want you to come with me now. Itna bhi samajh nhi aata? Now come with  me Warna....."

A-"Warna?? What will you do?"

      She asked in challenging tone. He was so frustrated by all this now. So he just said in loud voice,

S-"Don't try my patience Annika. Come n sit in the car."

A-"I will not. Do what you want"

      She said sternly. And Shivaay was very angry now. He knew she will not listen to him like  this. He have to do something. He looked at her and saw she was looking at other side and was smiling.

       Shivaay did his famous hair flick and came to her and held her hand tightly. Annika looked at him. She looked into his eyes and realized that he is in SSO mode now. She was scared a bit but then composes herself and jerked his hand. He again held her hand tightly.

S-"Let's go"

A-"I don't want to come"

S-"You have to come with me"

A-"Don't force me. N leave my hand first."

      Annika tried to remove her hands but he tightens his hold on her hand.

A-"Leave me. I don't want to come with you."

      She cried. Shivaay held her hand tightly and pulled her up.

S-"You very well know I don't like when someone says no to me. So better come with me or else....."

      He said pulling her towards himself. She tried to remove her hand from him. But he tightens his hold on her hand. She looked at him and pushed him. He stumbled on his feet but didn't leave his hold on her hand.

A-"I said I don't want to come with you."

      She said and again sat on that bench and tried to remove her hand from his hold. He came dangerously close to her but..... 

       Before Shivaay says something they heard some noise. They both turned and saw one car stopped near them. Shivika looked at each other n then at that car. The car door opened n one old man in his 70's came out running. He came at passenger side and opened the door n one old woman came out holding his hand. Shivaay and Annika looked at them confused.

      They both came towards Shivika running. That lady came and sat beside Annika and man stood between Shivaay and Annika and was looking at Annika's hand which Shivaay was holding tightly. Shivika both was confused and was just looking at that old couple. Before Shivaay says something that lady said to Annika,

Lady-"Don't worry dear. Now we are here. No one can harm our daughter"

      She said caressing Annika's hairs and looking at Shivaay angrily. Annika looked at her confused and tried to remember if she knows that lady. But then she realized that she was seeing her for the first time.

A-"Who..... Who are you? N what....."

      Before Annika says something that man said,

Man-"Don't worry my child. We are here now, with you. You don't have to be afraid of anyone. We will save you dear."

      That man said and then removed Annika's hand from Shivaay's. Shivaay looked at him and then at Annika and saw she was also confused like him.

S-"Who are you? N what are you talking about?"

Man-"That none of your business. We are here to save this innocent girl from you. Who are you? You looks rich."

      That man said looking at Shivaay from head to toe.

Man-" N acche ghar ke bhi lagte ho tum toh. But don't you have any shame??"

S-"Shame??"

Lady-"Haa shame..... You have no shame. Why you are troubling this girl? Look she is so scared n you are forcing her to come with you? Don't you know how to respect women?"

      That lady said angrily looking at Shivaay. And Shivika looked at each other. Now they got to know what that couple was talking about.

S-"Listen.... I think you misunderstood me as....."

Man-"Misunderstood?? I saw that you are forcing this girl. Boys like you are stain on our country's pride. Don't you know how to respect a girl? Akeli ladki dekhi nhi n chance marne lage. What you think of yourself??"

      That man said angrily.

S-"Listen....."

Man-"You listen to me...... Stay away from this girl, ok? Don't you dare to touch her again."

S-"Listen mister....."

      Shivaay again tried to talk but that man cuts him off again.

Man-"You listen to me first. I am brown belt champion. I will beat you black n blue if you touch her again. Phir kisi ladki ki taraf dekhne layak bhi nhi rahoge."

S-"Ftw......"

       Shivaay said and Annika looked at him and then at that couple for few seconds before started laughing loudly. That couple looked at her confused. And Shivaay looked at her angrily.

Lady-"What happened beta?"

A-"Uncle Aunty you two are so sweet. Uncle actually....."

Man-"Beta we will talk later. First I have to teach this guy how to respect girls. You just wait"

A-"Uncle meri....."

Man-"Beta you just sit there. Let me handle this guy. These boys na....don't know what they think of themselves? Ek khubsoorat ladki dekhi nhi ki start ho jaate hai. But not today. I will teach him good lesson now."

      That man said and came to Shivaay. He was about to slap Shivaay when Annika came there running and stood before Shivaay.

Man-"Beta you stay away from this."

A-"Uncle listen to me, he is not....."

Lady-"Don't be afraid of him beta. He will not do anything to you now. My husband will handle him nicely. You come here n sit with me n enjoy. Come come."

A-"Aunty...aap meri baat toh....."

Man-"We will listen later beta, but for now I have to punish this guy... What he think of himself haa? Who gave him rights to force you to come with him? Who is he??"

      That man said looking at Shivaay angrily. And again came to beat Shivaay when Annika shouted,

A-"My husband....."

      Annika said and Shivaay and that couple looked at her surprised. Shivaay looked at her and smiled as she said him her husband.

A-"Yes uncle, he is my husband."

Man-"What did you say? He is..... He is..... Is it true?"

       He was still in shock.

A-"Haa uncle it's true. He is not any stranger n all. He was not forcing me. He is my husband n I am his wife."

Lady-"Is it true beta? Or you are trying to save him from us? If yes then don't worry beta. He will not do anything. We are here with you now n you are not alone."

      That lady came to Annika and placed her hand on Annika's shoulder and said to her lovingly.

A-"No aunty. I am telling the truth only.  We are husband n wife."

      Annika said and that old couple looked at each other. Annika saw that they were still not believing her.

A-"You don't trust me na...wait a minute then... I have a proof."

      She said and went to the bench where she kept her bag. Shivaay was confused now.

S(mind)-"Proof?? Which proof??"

       She came to them again with her bag and took out something from it.

A-"See this"

      She said showing her hand. They looked at her hand. And Shivaay looked at her surprised and tears formed in his eyes. As there was her mangalsutra in her hand.

S(mind)-"It's her... her...mangalsutra??...... She still keeps it near her everytime?? Why? Is that means she also....."

      Shivaay came out of his thoughts when that man said,

Man-"But if he is your husband, then why he was forcing you to come with him?"

      That man asked still not trusting what Annika said.  Shivaay and Annika looked at each other.

A-"Woh......woh hamara jhagda hua tha. N I was angry on him as he was not listening what I said. So I came outside of the car and sat here. N then he came to say sorry. But I ..... I was not in mood to forgive him so soon, so he just asked me to come as it was too late and this road is not safe na....n also we have to go home na so....."

      That man and lady looked at each other.

L-"You mean you both are just fighting like normal husband wife's fights, hai na?"

      Shivika looked at each other. Shivaay didn't say anything and Annika just nodded. That man and lady looked at Shivika for few seconds and then at each other and started laughing. Shivaay and Annika looked at them confused.

A-"What happened uncle-aunty?"

      They both stopped laughing and that man came towards Shivaay.

Man-"I am sorry beta. I thought you are troubling her so..... I just said all those things. I am so sorry."

S-"No need to say sorry uncle. I know what you mean. N you did what you felt right. So I am not angry on you."

      Shivaay said and that lady came towards him.

Lady-"Aww... Look he is so sweet. Kitne acche se baat kr raha hai. Beta(looking at Annika) why you were fighting with him then?"

      That lady said and Annika looked at her surprised.

A-"Aunty I am not....but he was fighting with me. Ask him."

Lady-"No beta, look he is so nice guy. And you also said na that he was saying sorry...then??"

      That lady said and Annika don't know what to say and Shivaay laughed but hide it when Annika looked at him.

A-"Woh.....woh..... Forget that. Tell me why you were laughing before sometime?"

Man-"Because you both are same like us."

S-"Means?"

Lady-"Like you two, we also fights with each other for each n every small thing. So when we saw you both, it reminded us our all fights."

      That lady said looking at her husband and Shivika smiled.

Man-"But haa our fights are always like this..... Like Tom n Jerry fights. No serious one..... Woh kehte hai na, 'Jis Relationship Me Ladayiyan Jyada Hoti Hai Na, Usi Relationship Me Hadd Se Jyada Pyaar Bhi Hota Hai.....' So we just like to fight with each other always."

      That uncle said and Shivaay and Annika looked at each other. They remembered their cute fights. How they always fight with each other. Both were looking at each other without blinking their eyes. And that old couple looked at them. That lady came to Shivika and said,

Lady-"What happened?"

      Shivika broke their eyelock and looked at her.

Lady-"Tum dono bhi aise hi ladte ho na Tom n Jerry ke tarah?"

      That lady asked and Annika nodded looking at Shivaay. Shivaay looked at her and then looked at that couple and just smiled.

Man-"Good. You know what my wife is good poet. Hum jab ladte the na aise that time she wrote something. Sunao na"

      That man said looking at his wife.

Lady-"Haa I wrote many poems but this one will suit you two.....
'Meri Jindagi Me Khushiya Sirf Tere Bahane Se Hai..... Aadhi Tujhe Satane Se hai, Aadhi Tujhe Manane Se Hai.....' "

      Shivika looked at each other at the same time. Tears formed in Annika's eyes and Shivaay felt that those lines are so perfect for them. Shivaay was looking at Annika and tears formed in his eyes too. Both turned their faces away from each other and wiped their tears.

       That couple was looking at Shivika's each n every action. They knew something was wrong between Shivika. That man looked at her wife and she just smiled and nodded.

Lady-"So how was my shayari?"

      She asked Shivika.

A-"It's...... It's too good aunty."

S-"Yeah very nice aunty."

Lady-"Thank you. Toh aise hi ladte raho but don't forget ladai hamesha pyaar se honi chahiye, jaise ki hum dono n tum dono ki, hai na?"

      She asked and Shivika just smiled.

Man-"Chalo now. We have to go. I think tum logo ko bhi jaana chahiye ab. Jhagda khatam ho gaya na?"

      He asked looking at Shivika but they were so lost somewhere.

Man-"I am asking you two"

      He said loudly and Shivika looked at him.

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

Man-"Jhagda khatam ho gaya na?"

       He asked again and Shivaay looked at Annika who was already looking at him.

S-"Woh.....uncle..... I think we have to take your leave now. We are already late.

Lady-"Ha ha hume bhi ab chalna chahiye"

      That lady said and Annika and Shivaay smiled.

A-"Bye uncle and aunty. Nice to meet you."

Lady-"Nice to meet you too beta. Bye"

S-"Bye."

      Shivaay said and turned towards that man and hand shaked with him.

S-"Bye."

M-"All the best for your future life my children."

      Shivaay and Annika just smiled.

M-"Jaate jaate ek baat bolna chahta hu. May I?"

      That man asked and Shivaay smiled and nodded.

M-" 'Zindagi Yunhi Bahut Kam Hai Mohabbat Ke Liye, Phir Ek Dusre Se Ruthkr Waqt Gawane Ki Jaroorat Kya Hai.....' "

      Shivaay and Annika heard that and looked at each other.

Man-"Now you have to go beta. Baarish phir ho rahi hai."

      That man said looking at the sky as rain was started again. Shvika just nodded and turned to leave from there. Both were thinking about all the things which that couple said to them. They were walking towards Shivaay's car. Suddenly Annika slipped due to the mud on the road. She was about to fell but Shivaay held her by her waist. Annika held his shoulders for support and both looked at each other.

      Rain was pouring on them and they stood there looking at each other's eyes. Both saw pain, longing for each other, so much love in each other's eyes. They were so lost in each other n don't care about anything else. They stood there is same position for few minutes. They broke their eyelock when they heard 'click' sound. They turned and saw that couple was still there.

M-"You two are so much in love. Look, perfect example of love."

      He said showing them his phone in which he just clicked their picture. Shivika looked at each other and Shivaay made her stood on her feet properly.

M-"Stay like this always. And don't forget what we said. All the best. Bye"

Lady-"All the best my kids. N bye"

      That lady said and Shivika bids bye to them and that couple left from there. Shivika looked at each other. And without saying anything they came to the car and sat inside. Shivaay started the car and both left from there. The whole journey was silent. They were just stealing glances from each other every now and then.

(Note :- All Shayaris credit goes to my Guru.....Google 🙏🙏😜)
