Happy Reading 😅

"Salt..salt...Na na na That's sugar.Add salt" Pinky instructed Mallika for the umpteenth time on 'How to make a Halwa' reason there was a marriage proposal for Mallika whose proposers were to visit today and hence the preparations.

"Mujhse nahi hoga"(I can't) Mallika whined whilst throwing the saute spoon which directly landed near the feet of our naughty Prince who was sneakily looking inside the kitchen so that he can update his Angel about all this drama unknown to Annika who was still in her office.

"Pagal...I mean Shivaay tum?" Mallika smiled nervously upon seeing Shivaay standing there with a serious expression. All the tortures her makeups and dresses  went through played like a reel infront of her eyes making a chill run down her spine.

"Hello Mallika didi" He flashed his brightest smile upon being caught and his sugar coated words were heard making Mallika's eye pop out of socket.

"Tumhari tabiyat toh thik h na?"(Is your medical condition normal?) She asked checking her own temprature.

"Mujhe kya hua hai, I am toh very fine"(What will happen to me, I am very fine)  He smiled with his usual Hi-hi-hi tune which emerges only when with Mallika. His Hi-hi-hi laughter is 'khatre ki ghanti'.

"Kya kar rahe ho"(What are you doing?) He asked whilst moving towards the gas stove carrying the thrown spatuala in his hand.

"Kuch nhi Shivaay tum jao na"(Nothing Shivaay, you should leave) Mallika said being more nervous as she saw Pinky tiptoeing towards the kitchen's exit.

"Aap mujhe bhaga rahe ho?"(You are shooing me?) His usual puppy face on display which changed into a suspicious face soon  and his question to "Aap mujhse kuch  chupa rahe ho?" (You are hiding something from me?)

Mallika gulped and Pinky increased her pace, her legs already shaking and Statue!

Shivaay called her "Aye you Hippo maid, stop!"

"Yes Shiva__"  Pinky gulped in her words remembering the time when he added extra spice in her food and warned her not to call him by his name but 'Sir'

"I mean Yes Sir" She corrected herself  seeing his raised eyebrow.

"Did you moped the floor?" Pinky nodded. "Are the dirty dished washed?" Pinky again nodded. "Clothes done?" He questioned again to which Pinky widened her eyes and ran towards the laundry screaming she would do it right now.

He smirked like a naughty child before focusing on Mallika now and showcased his most innocent smile before making his way out of the door not before murmuring "All the best..."

"Hey Prince, missed me?" Annika asked whilst placing her bag on the dressing table moving towards Shivaay whose face instantly lit up hearing her voice.

"Angel! You camed." He rushed towards her hugging her tightly and the red hue was yet again visible in her face nonetheless she caressed his hairs kissing the top of his head.

"What's the matter, naughty Shivaay is being a cutie Prince today?" Anika asked still in the hug only to hear him grinning.

"Your talented Shivaay aka Prince has arranged a fun comedy drama for you, come with me I will show you" He dragged her with him breaking the hug not before kissing her cheek welcoming her home.

They reached the hall and Shivaay pulled Annika with him behind the pillar from where they can very well see the guest sitting in the sofa in the middle of the hall who were being attended by Pinky and Mallika as well as listen to their conversation.

Shivaay was tapping his fingers against his cheek waiting excitedly while Annika was standing there utterly confused on what the heck was happening and her biggest question for now was 'Why was Mallika blushing like that?' She decided to keep quite and wait for the drama that her husband had arranged.

"Mallika Beta, go and bring the sweet that you prepared for them, let's start this alliance with something sweet" Pinky said in her sugar coated voice which was a shock for Annika for she doubted if Pinky even had a sweet voice, Annika grew quite serious and intrested to know the matter.

She leaned over Shivaay shoulder taking it as a support and watched the show with all her attention focused on it while out dear poor Shivaay was having a hard time controlling himself, her scent hit his nostril making him want to kiss her right now at the moment, but damn the timing and the situation.

"Ye lijiye, muh mitha kijiye" Pinky said while Mallika served each one of them with the halwa that she had prepared.

Annika's curiousity grew stronger, she wanted to know what would happen next, she analysed the situation coming to a conclusion that the guest were here to see Mallika, maybe a marriage proposal it was.

"Yuck!"  "Eww!" Many such exclamations were made with the intake of the first bite and the eyes towards Mallika. She was in a spot.

Shivaay giggled. Annika widened her eyes biting her nails.

"You were saying to mark this alliance with something sweet but this is not sweetness this is venomous." One of them who seemed like the head of the family exclaimed.

And the drama went on but Annika dragged Shivaay in middle towards their room.

"What is this Shivaay?" She confronted him closing the door while Shivaay seemed flabbergasted at her sudden increased tone.

"What Angel?"

"Why did you do that? What was Mallika's fault Shivaay? Doesn't she deserve to be married? Marriage is a very big thing is every girl's life how can you play with this?" She put allegations on him without giving him a minute to explain himself.

"What are you saying Angel?" He seemed hurt but broken.

"Don't angel me Shivaay and tell me the reason?"

"If I did something, there must be a reason Annika" He explained himself with glassy eyes which Annika failed to notice.

"Then tell me the reason Shivaay" She retorted back making him lose his calm.

"Fine! If you are so much curious to know the reason and so concerned about that girl who torchered your husband like anything, then listen...They weren't good people Annika, the boy whose alliance was fixed with Mallika was already married, they were fraud. I am also a brother Annika and before that a human being, I am good enough to not ruin any girl's future. You couldn't trust me Annika, you couldn't" He uttered his words with utmost pain, she broke him unknowingly but he knows she would blame herself more than anything now.

Shivaay walked out of the room while Annika collapsed on the floor with tears running down her face, she felt guilty and wanted to slap herself for her stupidity. How can she blame him? She wanted to die right now at the moment. She would never be able to confidently say that she trusts him. She is feeling ashamed of herself.

One must be very careful with the choice of their words for words are like arrows which once launched cannot be stopped from hurting the other person. She learned that today and was ready to do anything to gain his forgiveness. She will gain his forgiveness. She was determined.
