"Since I can't be with you right now..... I will have to be content just dreaming about when we will be together again....."

Pune,
Chanda's House,
      Sahil was sitting in the hall studying. Suddenly the landline phone rings. Sahil went to the phone and picked it up.

Sahil-"Hello"

    "Sahil..." Person at the other side said. Sahil smiled and shouted happily,

Sahil-"SSO....."

Shivaay-"Shshhhh..... Sahil dheere bolo. Annika sun legi"

Sahil(whispered)-"Sorry..... SSO, how are you?"

Shivaay-"I am fine Sahil. How are you? Leg is paining too much?"

Sahil-"Haa but medicines lene ke baad thik hota hai."

Shivaay-"Good"

Sahil-"Why did you called?"

Shivaay-"Haa. You have to do something for me"

Sahil-"What?"

Shivaay-"(Muted)"

      Sahil started laughing.

Shivaay-"Don't laugh. Bolo, kroge?"

Sahil-"SSO, nautanki krna mere baaye haath ka khel hai."

Shivaay-"I know I know. Tumhara bhi n tumhari tadibaaz behen ka bhi"

Sahil-"Oh...then you are also not less than us. What are you doing now that is also nautanki na...."

Shivaay-"Ok mere baap.... Hum teeno nautanki krte hai. Now happy?"

      Sahil smiled.

Shivaay-"Now go and do what I told you. Go....all the best"

Sahil-"Haa bye"

Shivaay-"Bye"

      Shivaay cuts the call. Sahil kept receiver as Annika came there.

Annika-"With whom you were talking Sahil?"

Sahil-"N..... No one didi.... Just a wrong number..."

      He said stammering.

A-"Ok fine. Come here, I want to talk to you about something really important."

Sahil-"What?"

      Once they sat on the sofa, Sahil asked. Chanda also came there.

Annika-"Sahil, I have to go to Mumbai tomorrow. I got one job there."

Sahil-"Woww...Congo."

      He said and hugs Annika. Annika broke the hug and about to say something when Sahil asked,

Sahil-"Kab jaayenge hum?"

A-"Hum nhi mein. I'll go alone."

Sahil-"Why??"

A-"Sahil, because I....."

Sahil-"Hum jaha bhi jaate hai waha saath jaate hai na?"

      He said fake crying.

A-"I know Sahil. But it's just for 2 months. Uske baad mein....."

Sahil-"2 months?? You'll be away from me for 2 months? How can I live without you didi?"

      He said and started crying. Annika was confused about his behavior. She wiped his tears and hugs him.

A-"Sahil, tum mere acche bacche ho na? Ro mat. And why you are crying? Hostel mein toh rehte the na mujhse durr?"

Sahil-"Haa but now I don't want to. Mein bhi aaunga aapke saath."

A-"Sahil, bas 2-3 months ki baat hai na?"

Sahil-"2-3?? Abhi toh 2 the....3 ho gaye..... Next time you will say you have to go for one year.....no no no.....mein bhi aaunga"

A-"Sahil..... Only 2-3 months I promise. Pinky promise..... And don't worry I'll come here on weekends na..... Mumbai toh yahi hai na pass me..."

Sahil-"Pass me?? 3-4 hours lagte hai....kitne???.....3-4 hours."

A-"Haa toh pass hi hai na...."

Sahil-"No No no.....mujhe bhi le chalo"

      He said in angry tone.

A-"Sahil, tujhe ho kya gaya hai? Har baar toh baat maante ho meri. And mujhse durr rehne ke liye bhi toh ready hote ho...... Hostel me jaate waqt bhi nhi roye the.....n mujhe has rahe the when I was crying at that time....now look at yourself"

Sahil-"I don't know anything. I just want to come with you....."

A-"Sahil mein....."

      Annika stopped as her mobile beeped. She checked and it was mail from Ramona. She sent her the list of rules and conditions. Annika opened it to read. She read that and was shocked at the rules and conditions. Sahil took phone from her and read that list loudly.

      After finishing the list Sahil looked at Annika and started crying.

Sahil-"Look, they said you can't leave Mumbai. So how come you will come to meet me?"

     He said cryingly. Annika hugged him. She also don't know what to do now. She was telling Sahil that it was just for 2-3 months.....but she also don't want to live without Sahil, her only family now. For her, no one was there for her except Sahil now. So how can she able to live alone in Mumbai.

     She kissed his hairs.

A-"Don't cry Sahil. We will go to Mumbai together."

      Sahil broke the hug.

Sahil-"Sach?"

     Annika nodded and ruffled his hairs.

Sahil-"Yaayyyyy..... Thank you Annika didi"

      Sahil said and hugs her. Annika smiled at him.

Sahil(mind)-"SSO, aapka kaam ho gaya. Meri nautanki ki wajah se didi mujhe saath me laane ke liye ready ho gayi."

      Annika was thinking about her job and how can she able to work with Shivaay, work in presence of him. She don't want to bring Sahil with her as she knew that Sahil will want to meet Shivaay and other family members. And if not others then OmRu and Gauri-Bhavya will get to know about this and they all will always come to meet Sahil. But Annika don't want to meet them as she will not able to handle herself then and she knew that Shivaay will not like if they came to meet her..... Still thinking about his likes n deslikes.....Annika smiled sadly and then asked Sahil to start packing.

Next Day,

Oberoi Mansion,

In kitchen,

      Gauri and Bhavya came there to make breakfast but was shocked at looking the scene infront of them. Shivaay was standing there near the kitchen counter & was cooking something . They looked at each other as Shivaay started humming the song.

      They were shocked as he didn't came in the kitchen in last 15 days. They were looking at him shocked standing at the kitchen entrance. Shivaay who was about to place something in the microwave noticed them. He close the door of microwave and smiled at them.

S-"Good Morning"

      He said in very happy and excited tone.

Gauri & Bhavya-"G.....good...good morning"

S-"Good you came. Breakfast is ready. Let's go."

Gauri-"Bhaiya, you made breakfast today?"

S-"Yes"

G-"How?"

S-"How means? Should I teach you how to make breakfast. But you know cooking na unlike your bhabhi who knows only how to burn food"

      Shivaay said and laughed. Gauri and Bhavya looked at him as if they saw ghost. Their Bhaiya who said,'don't take Annika's name in this house'.... That same person is talking about her happily? And there was no pain, no anger on his face after that ......

      Shivaay looked at them as they were stood there shocked.

S-"What?? What happened?"

Bhavya-"N..... Nothing. Bhaiya why you made breakfast? Hum kr lete na? You hand is also injured na?"

S-"No no I am ok. Perfectly fine."

     OmRu came there. Shivaay smiled at them.

S-"Good Morning"

      OmRu looked at him and then at each other.

Rudra-"G.....good morning Bhaiya"

S-"Chalo let's have breakfast. I made it specially for you guys."

Om-"Ok...... One minute, you what? You made breakfast?"

S-"Yes. Why you are shocked? Mein toh hamesha banata hu na?"

R-"Haa but....."

      Rudra stops as Shivaay's phone rings.

S-"Hello..... Oh that's great..... Ok fine..... Haa haa.... and thanks for your help...bye..."

      He cuts the call and looked at others who were looking at him shocked.

S-"You all have the breakfast. Mein maa se milkr aaya."

      He smiled and left from there.

R-"Bhaiya ne kisiko thank you bola?? I can't believe it."

O-"Leave that. You looked at his face? He was looking so happy....."

G-"Yes he is happy. When we came here , he was singing."

B-"And he made breakfast today. After 15 days."

O-"Yeah... I am surprised.."

B-"Haa and he took Annika bhabhi's name. And gusse se nhi ulta unki khana banane ki baat pr has rahe the."

O-"What? Really??"

G-"Yes"

O-"Kuch toh jaroor hua hai. Shivaay ke iss behavior ke peeche kuch na kuch toh jaroor hai."

R-"Par kya?"

O-"Don't know exactly. But let's see. Pata chal hi jaayega."

      Annika reached Mumbai with Sahil. One assistant of Ramona came to drop her to her new house. Soon they reached to Annika's new house. That house was so nice and big than Annika's old house. Soon that assistant left and Annika and Sahil started arranging their things in the new house.

At night,
Annika's house,
      Sahil who was sitting near the window, called Shivaay. Shivaay picked his phone on the very first ring.

Shivaay-"Hello you reached safely na? Are you both ok?"

Sahil-"SSO , I messaged you when we reached here. Toh phir kyu puch rahe ho?"

Shivaay"H...haa.....woh.
.aise hi..."

Sahil-"And why you are asking? When you know what is going on here then what's the need to ask."

Shivaay-"Woh.....Kya bol rahe ho tum Sa... Sahil..."

Sahil-"Don't lie SSO. I can see you. You are here only, from the time we came here. You are in your black color car just apposite to this road."

      Shivaay opened his car window and looked at Annika's house and saw Sahil there.

Shivaay-"Sahil.....you are so smart."

Sahil-"That I know. What are you doing there in the car? Come here"

Shivaay-"Sahil, you know na....."

Sahil-"I know everything. Don't worry, Annika didi is sleeping. And she had her medicines before sleeping, so she'll not wake up. Come"

      Shivaay cuts the call , came out of the car and went to Annika's house. He came to Sahil who was standing at the door , and sat on his knees in front of Sahil. Sahil hugs him. Shivaay smiled , hugged him back and ruffled his hairs.

Shivaay-"How are you?"

Sahil-"I am super fine."

       Shivaay broke the hug.

Shivaay-"How is your leg? Still paining??"

Sahil-"Yes but not that much....."

Shivaay-"Don't worry soon it will be fine."

Sahil-"Hmm. Now go and meet Annika didi"

Shivaay-"What? No no. I am fine here"

Sahil-"Arre she is sleeping. Pata nhi chalega unhe. Pata hai na kitni gehri neend me soti hai."

Shivaay-"Sahil it's too late I think ab mujhe....."

Sahil-"I know aap didi se naaraz ho. But pyaar bhi krte ho na unse. Unke liye hi aaye ho na yaha? Toh ab mil bhi lo na....."

Shivaay-"Sahil....."

Sahil-"Go....."

Shivaay-"Ok....."

     Shivaay smiled and left to the bedroom.

In Bedroom,

      Shivaay entered and looked at the bed. Annika was sleeping there. Shivaay slowly came towards the bed and looked at her. She was sleeping peacefully. But there was frown on her forehead and she was looking pale. Shivaay sat there on the bed beside her.

      Shivaay was only looking at her and was smiling sadly. His gaze turned towards her hand and his smile faded away. He slowly took that hand in his.

Shivaay-"Abhi bhi pain ho raha hai? I am sorry Annika for hurting you that day but....."

       He stopped as his eyes got moist. He looked at her angelic face.

Shivaay-" I am very bad, hai na? But tum bhi toh kam nhi ho na....."

      He chuckled a bit and again tears formed in his eyes.

Shivaay-"Ab tum aayi ho na Mumbai Annika, ab mein tumhe jaane nhi dunga. Kabhi nhi jaane dunga tumhe mujhse durr."

      He said caressing her hand.

Shivaay-"But jaisa maine kaha tha, you have to do all things to win my heart again , to win me again Annika. Mere dil tak pahunchna hai tumhe, phirse. And uske liye sab kuch krna padega tumhe...sab kuch."

      He said and tucked her hairs behind her ears which were disturbing her.

Shivaay-"I am sorry Annika. But kal se bahut takleef hogi tumhe. Mein bahut takleef dunga tumhe Annika. But haa jeetni takleef tumhe hogi use kai jyada mujhe hogi Annika."

     He laughed at his own sentence.

Shivaay-"Hum dono kitne weird hai na? Khud ke hi pyaar ko kaun takleef deta hai??..... I know hum... the great Shivika"

      He laughed.

Shivaay-"Be strong Annika. You know na I love my fighter Annika. Toh be strong and jaldi mere saare pain, meri saari shikayate durr krke mere pass aana hamesha ke liye. I am missing you."

      He wiped his eyes which were having tears.

Shivaay-"Now I have to go Annika. All the best..... From tomorrow the real game will begin."

      He stood up and looked at her.

Shivaau-"I love you"

      He said lovingly.

Annika-"I love you too Shivaay"

     Shivaay looked at her shocked but sighed in relief as she was sleeping. She just murmured that in sleep. Shivaay bent down and kissed her forehead lovingly. He for last time looked at her for 2-3 minutes and left from there.

Precap :-

Annika-"What? No I can't go....."

Shivaay-"Ms. Trivedi , you are my employee. And you have to follow my orders."

Annika-"Yes but....."

Shivaay-"What but? You signed on the document where written 'you can't say no to any work'. Remember?"

Annika-"Shivaay aap jaante hai na ki mujhe....."

Shivaay-"Excuse me, What did you call me? Shivaay???  What's wrong with you? I am your boss call me 'Sir'."
