So, before you read the chapter, read this announcement first. Though I posted an announcement for this but as I got no response I am gonna repeat that again. Hihi! 

So, I was thinking of starting a book where I would write poems and stories on topics given by you guys. 

Think this as a gift from me to you guys for being loyal readers throughout my journey on Wattpad.

I will accept every request for poems, short stories, one shots, two shots on topics given by you guys. You can give me topics related to anything, be it a poem on a specific Shivika moment or a personal moment, a story on any theme and of any genre you wish for, any story line, any characters would be accepted.

The main motive behind me doing this is I want to thank you guys for everything. Thankyou readers. I really love you guys..

Enjoy reading.....

"What's wrong with him? He's been acting weird for a while" Anika thought as she folded her clothes, her mind already messed up with too many thoughts, all about Shivaay though. She smiled to herself as his face crossed her mind. 

His innocent orbs were enough to make her have not-so-innocent thoughts, his smile meant everything to her even when she wasn't the reason behind it, his tears felt like salt to her wounds and his laughter felt like the sweet taste of candy a child craves for. 'He was a baby', she thought, 'her baby' she corrected herself as a continued doing her chores. 

She still couldn't figure out the reason why her heart started beating faster whenever she thinks about him, it feels as if she has everything the moment she hugs him, the way he looks at her with that toothy grin, the cutest that she has ever seen melts her like a child and the fear of losing him, her biggest nightmare. No, she can never afford to lose him, no power in this world can pull them apart, she won't be able to survive without him, he's the only reason to her happiness, only one to make her smile, the only soul she's livin' for. She's nothing without him. 

"He's my world" She smiled as her eyes started welling up with tears. Her chain of thoughts was broken by her phone's ring that's been ringing since long trying to gain her attention only if she was aware of the surroundings, and that's what love can do to you, it's beautiful, dangerous, complicated yet everything one ever wishes for. 

 She shaked off her thoughts as answered the call.

"Arrey, that wasn't needed, I could have done that, I had promised you na we would surely show up" She was talking when Shivaay walked in and heard the last few words which again made him curious and wreck his head over the question 'Where were they even going?' 

Realising he was self talking again, he decided to announce his arrival by clearing his throat as he walked towards the side table to fetch a glass of water when Annika said " Shivaay, umm...Pack your bags we have to go somewhere, pack enough clothes that could last for at least 1 month" And with that she intentionally walked out of the room before he could ask any further questions leaving Shivaay with a half open mouth as he was about to question her.

'Where are we going? Is she taking me to honeymoon!' He jumped being excited as this thought crossed his mind until he realised that they weren't still on that stage where they could surprise each other with a honeymoon trip, but again equations change, if not now maybe someday she would surely plan a honeymoon trip for them. 

The thought of her and him alone for a honeymoon made him blush the deepest shade of red. His cheeks started heating up and palms began to perspire. "I love you my Angel" He whispered as he rubbed his neck, an idiotic smile plastered on his face wishing for the best future for them.

"Me and my Angel will go for a trip!"

"Me and my Angel will go for a trip!"

"Me and my Angel will go for a trip!" 

He sang with joy as he walked towards the cupboard to pack his clothes with spring in his steps. He was really excited for his first ever trip with a loved one, a person who really cares for him, a person who is exclusively for him. He chuckled imagining the expression on her face when he would confess her what's in his heart, she would be clean bowled for sure, wide eyes, half hung mouth. "Awwie, My Angel is the best." He smiled to the fullest jumping in joy.

"Here, I am not able to sleep and look at her, she's already snoring" Shivaay whisper-yelled to himself as he laid on the bed, with Anika beside him. The radiant moon light was peeking through the white satin curtains, soft breeze playing with the leaves on the trees whose branches were occupied by the nest of tiny résidants who lived there with their family, the nocturnals were hooting in joy hunting down their prey and the crickets were playing their own tune, and Shivaay was still awake despite such a wonderful atmosphere of peace and serenity, while Anika was already drifted in a peaceful slumber. 

"Annieee..." He whispered her name in an attempt to call her, but who was he kidding, such a sleepy head she was and he knew that. 

"She toh already slept and now I am not able to sleep, oh bhagwaan ji, yesterday I had such a peaceful sleep in her arms but today...umm" He scratched his chin in an attempt to find out a solution to his problem. "Yessss!" He exclaimed in joy as an idea popped into his mind and he slowly, steadily with steps like a hunter aiming at their predator got down from his side of bed and began to move towards her side trying his best to not disturb her. He felt as if he was a CID officer breaking into a criminals house. He straightened his collor as he safely made it to the other end with a proud smirk.

"Mission 1, accomplished, time for the second half" He moved towards her whispering to himself. "Hope I make it to her arms without waking her up" He laid himself next to her and somehow managed to get her arms around him, and as he was about to celebrate his little victory by kissing her forehead, she stirred in her sleep and he ever so quickly acted asleep. Dramebaaz!

"Shivaay? What is he doing here?" She said confused as she saw him in her arms, nevertheless she smiled kissing his forehead, as she continued to circle her arms around him ever so tightly, holding him like her most priced possesion making Shivaay do a small mental dance as he thanked his stars both for her and her hug. She patted him till she fell into the slumber once again and Shivaay gaining the chance hugged her back with enormous amount of love, finally drifting into sleep whispering in her ears "I love you Annika" 

Thankyou for reading ❤️
