After taking her hands in his Shivaay looked at her face. Her face and eyes were red due to crying. He left her hands and Annika who was looking down looked up at him. He just smiled and getting up from the sofa he went to the table and came back with a glass of water.
He sat beside her again and forward that glass to her. She nodded in no. So he forcefully made her drink water. She drank a little bit and he kept that glass on the table and took her hands in his again.
Shivaay-"What's all this haa?"
Shivaay asked and she looked up at him.
S-"What's this?"
He again asked and she was confused now.
Annika-"I.... I am asking you the sa...same. What's this?"
She said looking at that whole room.
S-"Let's talk about it later. First you tell me why you are behaving like this?"
He asked a little bit rudely and she was confused. He wiped her face with his handkerchief and then puts her hair strands behind her ears. Then cupping her face he said,
S-"Annika I know you are angry on me, you are upset too. But you know right what you does normally when you are angry on me?"
He asked and she was still in confused state.
S-"You know when my Annika gets angry on me na, she throws water on me, she fights with me, she scolds me....but you...you are crying...bas royi jaa rahi ho. Annika hi ho na tum?"
Shivaay said and then laughed but stopped when he saw she was not reacting. He side hugged her and placed her head on his chest.
S-"Annika, you know na I hate tears in your eyes. I know they comes because of me only. But...but what's the need to cry haa? You are angry right so throw water on me, scold me. Do what you want but don't cry. You are my khidkitod Annika right? But from last some days you are behaving like this only. Bas roti ho kuch hua toh. Not done ok...I want my khidkitod Annika, not this rotlu Annika."
He said and she clutched his blazer in her hand. Shivaay kissed on her hairs and moved back.
S-"So now in future if you don't like something about me or my behavior na, then act like my old khidkitod Annika. Okay?"
He asked and she was silent. He placed his finger on her chin and made her look at him.
S-"Okay?"
He asked again and she nodded in yes. Shivaay removed his finger and smiled.
S-"That's like my Annika. Now let's talk about this matter."
He said and again took her hand in his.
S-"Annika you think I did all this just because you are my wife right? This cabin, this job I am giving you just because you are my wife. Aisa lagta hai na tumhe?"
She didn't say anything. He left her hand and took out his phone from his blazer pocket. He opened something and showed it to Annika.
S-"See it's CCTV footage of our company. See this one..."
He clicked on one video and there was one room, bigger than the one in which they were sitting.
S-"This one. You know whose cabin is this? It's Mishra's cabin. You know him right? He is the same person on whom I shout 24 * 7. Look at his cabin. It's bigger than this one."
He said looking around. Annika looked at that video. Indeed Mishra's cabin was bigger than the one in which they were sitting.
S-"Then this, bade papa's secretary Priya. It's her cabin."
He showed her another video.
S-"See it's same to same like this one."
He said and she nodded when she saw both cabins, Priya's and this one. Both were similar to each other. Shivaay kept his phone back.
S-"You saw right? I am not giving you any special treatment. This is Oberoi industries. The one reputed, successful running and one of the biggest offices in India. Here each n every person's cabin is well arranged and royal. You know the head of every department have bigger cabin than this one. You want to see?"
Shivaay was about to take his phone again but she held his hand stopping him.
A-"I understand Shivaay. But....."
S-"But what? You are thinking about what Rudra said to you right? Being a owner of this industry why I personally designed your cabin? Right? Okay here I am saying the truth. I did it because I am your husband."
She looked at him.
S-"Every employee can arrange and decorate their cabin by their own. By their own choice and likings. But here I know my Annika's favorite color, favorite things so I did this. And in true sense this is the gift from me. Come on, I can do atleast this much right?"
Shivaay asked.
A-"I am not talking about all this. I am talking about the main thing Shivaay. This job. Why me Shivaay? Why me?"
She asked and he smiled.
S-"Because you are perfect for this job Annika."
A-"Ohh so I am perfect so you just appointed me. What about the previous event manager? You removed him or her just because you wanted to give me this job? And this job...you said one of the best offices right? So you hire employees without seeing their CVS? Without any job interview??"
She asked all questions which were running in her mind in one go. She was angry on him for doing this to her. She asked them all at once and then looked at him confused as he was smiling.
A-"What? I am not joking? I want answer for my each question Shivaay."
She said and he smiled more. And then coming close to her, he kissed on her forehead.
S-"That's like my Annika. I love it when you say whatever in your mind. I love it when you ask questions to me and that too angrily. I hate it when you keep all that in mind and cry like weak person. I hate it."
Shivaay said and she smiled but hide it from him.
A-"Tell me. Why??"
She asked.
S-"Haa haa. I am doing the same."
Saying so he again took her hand in his.
S-"You know it's not a quick process. You are thinking, I thought to give you job here and so gave it to you on next moment, right?"
She didn't say anything.
S-"Hmm I know you are thinking like that only. But that's not the truth Annika. You know when it all started?"
A-"When?"
She asked and he smiled.
S-"It happened before 5-6 months. You know one party was arranged at Oberoi industries. Bade papa cracked one big deal. So they wanted to give party to all our business friends. That time bade papa and me too were little bit nervous about all things. And all things was not happening as per our wish. We both had to look after each n everything. Bade papa was frustrated and you know what he said that time?"
A-"What?"
Annika asked.
S-"Bade papa said, 'kaash Annika yaha hoti. Agar Annika hoti na toh hume kisibhi cheez ki koi bhi fikar krne ki koi jaroorat nhi thi. She is just perfect when it comes to her work. She handles everything so perfectly that too alone. At first I thought her job is very easy. But see now...now I realized that she is the most hardworking girl'."
Shivaay said what Tej told him once and Annika looked at him surprised.
S-"You know Annika, bade papa never praised me like this. And he praised you that day. Then that time I also thought about it. You know that time...we were not...not together....I mean after those 3 months and...before...before that maa's truth revelation and....."
Shivaay stopped as she placed her other hand on their hands. He looked at their hands and then at her.
A-"Shivaay..... No need to....."
Before she completes he nodded in yes and took a deep breath. And then smiled before continues,
S-"So where was I..... Haa so I thought about it and then I recalled all the functions that we celebrated in Oberoi Mansion after you came to our lives. You arranged many functions, parties, pujas that too very perfectly without giving anyone any chance to find faults. Then I thought kaash hum saath hote toh mein tumse puchta ki you want to work again? As I know you left your work after our marriage."
Shivaay stopped for a second and then continued,
S-"After that we reunited again. And then I decided to talk with you about this matter. But after that one by one many problems came in our lives and I forgot about it. I remembered it again when you joined our IPL office. And then I decided I will talk with you after we solve everything between us."
Shivaay stopped again and looked at her. She was listening his every word very carefully. He then continued again,
S-"So we are here. And haa about that previous event manager, Mr. Mehra was I mean is our previous event manager. He is 55+ years old and wanted to take retirement. But bade papa requested him to stay. When I talked about your job to bade papa, he agreed happily and Mr. Mehra was also happy. "
Shivaay said and Annika was more surprised now. Shivaay was observing change in her expressions. He continued again,
S-"And about taking interview, it's not needed as me and bade papa both knows how you works. And we are not taking interview not only because of this, but one more reason is there. I know till now you arranged only family functions. So bade papa said Mr. Mehra will give you training about business events and parties and after that we will give you one event to organize. If you will able to do all things perfectly then this job is yours if not then..... But I know my Annika will do it. So I did all this decoration and designed this cabin for you.
Shivaay said and Annika was too surprised more precisely shocked by all this.
A-"S....Shivaay....."
She tried to talk but he didn't give her chance to speak.
S-"Shshhh let me complete it first. I know you want to open your own event management company. And I also want you to do that. So this job is not permanent. You know, here one rule is there for all employees. We always sees your work for 3 months if you give good reports we make you permanent or else we terminate you. And haa employees also resign if they want after 3 months."
Shivaay stopped as he saw some tears in Annika's eyes. But before he reacts she wiped them looking at other direction and then looked at him. Shivaay smiled and his hold on her hand got tighten.
S-"And all this information is in these papers."
He placed some papers on her lap. They were same papers on which she signed before sometime.
S-"You can read it. The all information which I told you now is written here."
Shivaay said and looked at her face. Her face showing many emotions at the same time. She was just looking at him without getting what to say. She looked down after sometime when she didn't find words. And looked at her lap where he kept those papers.
S-"Now I am done"
He said after a minute seeing her silent. She looked up but didn't say anything.
S-"What happened Annika?"
Shivaay asked trying to conclude reason behind her silence.
A-"K....kuch nhi..."
She said looking away from him.
S-"I am not forcing for you anything Annika. Actually it was my mistake. I am sorry. You want to work or not that decision is yours. But I did all this surprise thing. Sorry. But now you have to decide. I will not say anything phir tum jo bhi decide kro."
Shivaay said and she was still silent. She looked at him and again at those papers.
S-"Annika are you ok?"
Shivaay asked getting no any response from her. She nodded in yes on that.
S-"Annika....."
Before he continues she looked at him and asked,
A-"Can I go to home now?"
He looked at her face and realized she needs some time to think. He smiled.
S-"Ok Chalo I will drop you."
A-"No I will go by myself."
She replied.
S-"But..... Ok Khanna is outside. He will drop you."
Shivaay said with a smile. She nodded and got up from the sofa before he stops her and moved towards the door.
S-"Annika....."
He called her and she stopped but didn't turn. He came to her.
S-"Don't think much about it ok. Do what your heart will ask you to do. And take care."
She just nodded. He kissed on her forehead.
S-"I love you."
He said and she said,
A-"Byee"
And hurriedly went out. Once she came out she closed the door and looked at her name on it. She caressed it by her hands and tears which she controlled from last 15-20 minutes started flowing from her eyes.
A-"I was always angry on you bhagwaan ji for not giving me anything from childhood. But I was wrong. You gave me double of them now. You fulfilled all my unsaid wishes by giving me my Shivaay. I am so so lucky to have him."
She said while crying. She was looking at her name and tears were rolling down on her cheeks continuously. After sometime she leaned on the door and closed her eyes.
A-"He did so much for me. And what I did..... I questioned about his intentions? About his...love?? I thought he...he...how can you Annika? He must be very hurt. And I don't even know how to face him and how to talk with him? I did a very big mistake."
She said to herself. And after a minute opened her eyes and looked around. She took a deep breath.
A-"It's office. For now I have to go home. Then I will decide how to talk with him."
She said and after wiping her tears and face she left from there.
Inside the cabin,
S-"I hope she understands."
Shivaay said to himself looking at the whole room. He smiled sadly and was about to left from there but stopped as his phone rings. He received it without looking at the name.
S-"Hello, Shivaay Singh Oberoi speaking."
He said in his usual attitude.
"I know darling" came a female voice from other side. Shivaay was confused.
S-"Who are you?"
"Pehli biwi aa gayi toh new and real biwi ko bhul gaye, not fair"
Shivaay looked at the screen immediately and hits on his own forehead when he realized it was from Pooja.
S-"What rubbish. What do you want haa?"
Pooja-"As if you don't know."
S-"I don't know."
P-"What don't know. I said na I am your real wife. So what one wife needs haa? Just her husband and....."
S-"You called me for doing this rubbish talk? Listen I am not interested in your stupid talks. Better you stay away from me."
P-"Stay away?? Hahaha not possible. We are couple how can we stay away from each other."
S-"Listen I am not....."
Before he continues she said,
P-"Ohh stay away se yaad aaya. What I told you haa? I asked you to stay away from that Annika. But what are you doing Shivaay? You don't have any respect for my feelings right? Socha bhi nhi mujhe kitna bura lagega."
S-"Excuse me?"
P-"What excuse me? I am your wife. So I have rights to stay with you not that tras....."
S-"Not a single word against my Annika. And what wife haa? Me, you and now everyone knows that marriage was fake."
P-"But for me it was real. I told you this thing before also. That marriage was real and I am your wife."
S-"Shut up. Just because you want you can't be my wife. My wife is Annika. Do you understand?"
P-"You need to understand man. That I am your wife who loves you. Koi nhi, after some days you will accept it by your own."
S-"What do you mean?"
P-"That you will get to know soon. Leave it for now. Tell me first, I asked you to stay away from that girl right? But what you did? You took her with you to Oberoi Mansion? Really Shivaay? And now this. You gave her job in your company? How could you Shivaay?"
S-"That none of your .....wait a minute how would you know about it?"
P-"Hahaha. I am Shivaay Singh Oberoi's wife after all."
S-"Listen....."
P-"I know everything when it comes to you darling. I even know that your security guards are keeping an eye on me."
S-"What do you want?"
P-"Ek Patni ko apne Pati se aur kyaa chahiye hota hai. Bas thoda sa pyaar and....."
S-"Shut up..... I am not your husband. Annika is my.....'
P-"I am your wife. And now be a good husband and listen you your wife. Stay away from that Annika else....."
S-"Else? Else what haa? Listen I am not afraid of you."
P-"That we will see darling. I am giving you one day. Kal subah tak ka time hai tumhare pass. Throw her out of your life or else I will do something which you never imagined."
S-"I am not afraid do what you want."
Shivaay said and cuts the call and throws his phone angrily.
S-"I have to do something with this woman."
He then went to his cabin and then decided to ask Khanna to search about her again. But stopped when he realized Annika is with him right now.
S-"I will call him after sometime. As he is with Annika now. Annika se baat kru kyaa issbare me? No no... she is already disturbed by this job thing. I think I need to make her understand about this first. Then if she will be fine I will tell her about Pooja. Yeah that will be good. And I have to do something with this Pooja very soon. Don't know what's cooking in her mind."
Shivaay said and went to his desk to do his work.
In evening,
Shivaay was busy in his work when his phone rings. He thought it was from that Pooja again. He looked at the caller ID and was surprised to see it's from Annika.
S-"Annika....."
He immediately received it.
S-"He..... Hello Annika"
He said in low voice as he was afraid to see her reaction.
A-"Hello Shivaay where are you?"
Annika asked and he was confused.
S-"Huh?"
A-"I asked where are you? Stucked in traffic again?"
She asked and he was more confused as she was talking normally.
S-"Huh? I... I am in office."
A-"Still? Offo Shivaay we all are waiting for you at home."
She said and he thought may be she is with family so talking normally with him.
S-"H...haa I am in office. Why you all are waiting for me?"
He also tried to talk normally.
A-"Shivaay how could you forget haa? Doctor is coming to see maa today, right? He will be here in sometime. When you are coming?"
Shivaay remembered that doctor visit. He totally forgot about it because Annika's behavior and then Pooja's.
S-"I.... I will be there in next half n hour."
He said.
A-"Okay. No need to come fast. We are here. Drive safely. Bye."
She said with smile and ended the call. He also smiled.
S-"She is fine. I know she talked with me nicely because family was there but still, she is fine."
He sighed in relief and then immediately left from there.
Oberoi Mansion,
Shivaay entered into the mansion and one servant told him that doctor came and all family is with him in Pinky's room. Shivaay nodded and moved towards the Pinky's room but stopped in middle when he heard Annika's voice. He turned and saw she was coming out of kitchen with one servant. Shivaay looked at her face.
S-"She is looking fine. No but she never tell anyone if she is upset with me."
Shivaay said to himself looking at her. On other side Annika who was walking with that servant looked up when she felt his presence. She saw him at some distance.
A-"Shivaay....."
Shivaay was surprised when she called him that to happily.
A-"Aap yeh lekar jaayiye. I will come."
Annika said to that servant and gave the tray to her which was in her hands and walked towards him.
A-"You came?"
She asked and he looked around.
A-"Thank god you came. I was about to call you again."
She said with a smile and he was more confused now. He looked around to see if anyone from the family was there. But no one was around.
A-"Kya hua Shivaay?"
Annika asked placing her hand on his shoulder and he looked at her.
A-"What?"
She asked when he looked at her hand on his shoulder. He nodded in no.
S-"A..... Annika you don't need to pretend."
He said
A-"Pretend? About what?"
She asked.
S-"Woh...about whatever happened in the office and....."
He stopped as he heard Rudra's voice calling Annika. She held his hand.
A-"Let's go and meet doctor first. He is waiting for you. Chalo."
She said and before he reacts she started walking. So he went with her.
Pinky's room,
Shivika came inside and doctor greeted Shivaay.
S-"Hello doctor, is everything fine?"
Shivaay asked and before that doctor answered Annika said,
A-"Look at maa first then you will get to know by your own."
Annika said and Shivaay looked at Pinky's bed. His eyes gets moistened when he saw Pinky was sitting on the bed with the help of pillows.
S-"Maa....."
Shivaay said and walked to her bed and sat beside her.
S-"Mom you....."
A-"Yes Shivaay our maa is fine now."
Shivaay looked at Annika and then at Pinky again. Pinky moved her hand and Shivaay noticed it so he held her hands and Pinky smiled.
Doctor-"Mr. Oberoi she is fine now. And can go anywhere. And now she is able to stand on her feet also. But she is weak so don't make her walk for now. We will see it after one week. For now you can take her anywhere with the help of wheelchair. She can able to sit for longer time. But make sure she will take rest too."
Doctor said to Shivaay and Shivaay came to him.
S-"Thank you so much doctor.
D-"It's my duty Mr. Oberoi. Right now I gave her one injection. So today let her rest. From Tomorrow you can take her anywhere. Anywhere I mean in this mansion only."
S-"Ok doctor."
Doctor-"So Mrs. Oberoi I told you all instructions. If anything happens then call me "
He said to Annika and Annika nodded.
D-"Ok Mr. Oberoi. I have to take leave now."
Shivaay nodded and that doctor left from there. Daadi came to Shivaay.
S-"Daadi....."
Shivaay hugs her happily and tears formed in his eyes. Annika and others smiled.
A-"Dusro ko rotlu bolte hai and what you are doing haa?"
Annika asked him and everyone smiled. Shivaay moved back wiping his tears and looked at Annika. He was happy and surprised to see her like this. But again he thought it was because of family's presence.
Daadi-"Okay now you both stay here with Pinky. We are going out."
Daadi said and everyone left from there except Shivika. Shivaay looked at her. She smiled and went to Pinky. Shivaay was confused about her normal behavior now. He also came to the bed where Pinky and Annika were sitting. Annika's ka started talking with Pinky and she involved him also in their talks. After sometime Pinky was feeling sleepy so they made her lie on the bed. Annika covered her with duvet.
S-"Annika....."
He whispered.
A-"Hmm....."
S-"I want to talk with you."
A-"Bolo....."
She said and he held her hand and took her to the window.
S-"Annika....."
A-"Hmm....."
S-"Woh....woh...woh..."
A-"Woh kyaa? Saare shabd khatam ho gaye?"
S-"I want to ask that...that why you are behaving like this?"
A-"Like this matlab?"
S-"Matlab this. Why you are behaving like a normal person. As if nothing happened."
A-"I am behaving like normal person because I am normal. Not abnormal."
She laughed on her own joke. He held her hands.
S-"Annika....you don't have to behave like this. Atleast not in front of me right?"
A-"What are you talking about Shivaay? I don't get anything."
S-"Annika whatever happened in the office... I mean I know you are upset and I know...it's...it's..."
A-"Offo Shivaay, I don't get it what you are saying. You look tired. Go and freshen up. Waise bhi I have lots of work to do."
She said and before he answers left from there.
S-"Why she is behaving like this? As if nothing happened?"
Shivaay was confused. He looked at Pinky once and then left from there.
Whole evening shivaay tried to talk with Annika about that office matter but he was not successful as sometimes she left from there before he starts speaking and when he starts to speak someone called her for some work. This happened many times. And now Shivaay was frustrated as well as worried as he thought she is angry.
At dinner time also he tried to speak but didn't get any response from her on that office matter. After dinner everyone disappeared into their rooms. Shivaay was about to talk to her but she left from there to give Sahil his medicines. So Shivaay decided that he will talk to her when she comes to their room and left from there.
Shivika's room,
Shivaay was busy talking to someone on the phone when Annika entered into the room. He immediately ended the conversation with the person on other side and cut the call. He then looked at Annika and saw she was busy finding something in the cupboard. Shivaay walked towards her. And stood behind her.
S-"Annika....."
He called her.
A-"Hmm....."
She said still busy in searching something.
S-"I.... I want..... I mean..... You....are you......"
A-"Offo Shivaay, what you want to say? I don't understand exactly. Say it fast I have to do lots of work."
S-"Haa woh..... I....."
She turned to him.
A-"Offo again same. Leave it. Jab yaad aaye bata dena. First help me in this."
She said and again turned to cupboard and after a second looked back at him.
A-"Which one is good?"
She asked him showing her hands. There was one saree in her each hands. He looked at those Sarees and then at her.
A-"What? Say na? Blue or green."
She said showing him her hands.
S-"Huh?"
He was confused.
A-"What? Offo I know your favorite color is yellow. But what to do? Only these two are simple. Others are functional and heavy. I can't wear them na."
She said and he was more confused now. Here he was trying to talk with her from afternoon about some important issue and she was behaving normally as if nothing happened. And now it's too much asking him to chose saree.
A-"Shivaay..... Please say it fast. I have lots of work to do."
He came out of his thoughts.
S-"That...that one."
He said pointing at her right hand.
A-"This green one?"
He nodded.
A-"Okay. Thank you."
She smiled and turned to keep her sarees in cupboard again.
S-"Annika....."
Before he continues she said,
A-"Accha let's sleep now. I don't want to be late on my first day. You don't know my boss. He is too strict."
She said turning to him.
S-"Hmm ok."
Shivaay said sadly. She smiled and walked to their bed and something striked in his mind.
S-"Ek minute....."
He screamed. She stopped in her tracks and turned to him.
A-"What happened?"
He ran to her.
S-"What did you say?"
A-"What??"
S-" First day? Strict boss?"
A-"Yeah. Of course. Tomorrow is my first day at office na? And you know right how strict you are as a boss and khadoos too."
She said making faces. Shivaay's eyes shined with happiness.
S-"So that saree.... simple..... work....boss...you....you are ready? Ready to work in Oberoi industries?"
Shivaay literally screamed. In turn she just smiled and nodded in yes and on next second he engulfed her in a tight hug.
So, this is the next part. Please read and give me your suggestions and views. Till then bye. Take care. Stay happy. Stay blessed.
