Excited to go on a ride?
So let's stop our bak bak and dive into the chapter.....
Enjoy.....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scene starts with a couple seen taking wedding vows.... Where the groom has a stern face and the bride is hidden in her veil.

*Wedding venue*
Priest: Vivah sampannah hua.... Aajse aap dono pati patni hue....

The groom........ Or more precisely Our Hero of the story Shivaay had a stern face while the bride remained under her veil. He stood up and helped her too. Both of them went and took blessing from the elders.

Pinky: God bless you.... I am so happy today that Tia is permanently going to live with us.... I will take you to all the parties and everything....
Shakti(stopping her) : Pinky.... I guess you can discuss about this in the house also. Now let them go and take blessings. They are tired also. God bless you both. Always stay happy and always stay beside each other.

Shivaay and the bride looked at each other. He broke the trans and went towards his Baade papa and Baadi maa.

Tej: Finally, Tia is coming to our house. Not only she but also her....
Janvi(in low voice) : Tej at least don't talk about this now. (to the couple) I am so happy for you, Shivaay. Finally the eldest bahu of the Family is coming to take up our responsibilities. What say Pinky?
Pinky: Exactly Jethaniji....

The couple moved towards Dadi, where the bride bent down to take her blessings. Dadi happily blessed her but something struck her eyes which made her shock. She looked at Shivaay in a horrific manner and he understood that he was caught. He bent his head down in shame. Dadi, with slight tears hugged the bride tightly.

Dadi(in low voice) : Saab thik ho jayega..... Have faith in God.... Everything will be fine..... God bless you both..... I know you are perfect for him...... I am so happy but...... (looked at Shivaay) I didn't expect this.....

Shivaay was guilty.... But why? Dadi broke the hug. Shivaay held his Wife's hand softly yet firmly and walked out of the venue with his Family in tou.

*Oberoi mansion *
Pinky was glandly welcoming her Daughter in law with a huge smile on her face.

Pinky : Tia , kick this pot lightly with your right leg and then put your leg on this red water and then walk inside the house with your right leg.

Bride followed everything as said. Dadi watched the ritual and the foot impression gave her a clear knowledge about the entry of Laxmi in the house. Dadi was happy seeing it. Then, Pinky instructed bride to put her hand impression on the wall of the mandir.

Pinky: Chalo sab ho gaya. Now let my daughter in law take rests. Prinku take your bhabi to Bhaiya's room.

She obeyed and took her. Shivaay was avoiding Dadi's glares from a long time but he couldn't. Dadi was calculating something intendedly and said.

Dadi: I want the Muh dekhayi rasam now.
Pinky: But Mummyjis now? I thought about conducting it tomorrow in the morning.
Dadi: No... I want it now. I want to see how my bahu is looking.
Pinky: As you says Mummyji. Prinku make Tia sit in the sofa.
Dadi: Billu, you also sit beside Tia. It's a ritual.

Shivaay silently obeyed his Dadi. He sat beside her and saw her figiting with her fingers. He slowly placed his hand over hers as if assuring her and giving her strength. She stiffened feeling his hand on her but remained quite. This small might have gone unnoticed by others but Dadi did take a note of every movement that was going on between them.

Pinky came back with the puja plate and the gifts for her bahu.

Dadi: First, Pinky will do then others will do.
Pinky : Aare no.. No.. Mummyji.... You do it first. After all you are the eldest in our Family.

Dadi smiled seeing her plan work. She went to her room and brought a jewellery set. Pinky handed over the puja plate to her. Dadi completed all the procedures and slowly lifted up the veil. She smiled seeing the girl under the veil.

Dadi: Welcome to the Oberoi Family..... Anika.....

Everyone was shocked hearing her.

Pinky: Oh my Maata ..... Anika....
Janvi: Anika....
OmRu : Anika/ Anika didi...
Priyanka : Anika.....
Tej: Anika....
Shakti: Anika.....

Everyone had their own thoughts roaming around in their head. Dadi avoided everyone and gave her the box.

Dadi: This is for my bahu.... This is the khandani bangles of the Family which my Mother in law had given me. Now I am giving it to you. Billu make her wear it.

Shivaay took the bangles from Dadi and made Anika wear it. He was unable to look straight into her eyes because he was guilty.... But why?

Dadi: Chalo, now Janvi and Pinky will do it. Come.....
Pinky(coming out of shock) : Anika... What are you doing here? And where is Tia? Don't tell me you and Shivaay got married.... (they remained silent) No.... I can never accept this marraige.... I will never accept this.
Dadi: Pinky.... Whatever has happened can't be changed now. Anika is Billu's wife and it is the reality whether you like it or not.
Pinky: But Mummyji how can I accept it? Anika doesn't have naam khoon khandan.... We have no idea about her background then how can I allow her to be the bahu of this house. No I can never.
Dadi: You are having problems because Anika doesn't have naam khoon khandan ...... When Billu doesn't have any problem then why are you tensed?
Pinky: I am sure this Girl has done something to my Shivaay because of which he has done something like this. I know these type of girls who are always behind rich guys and trap them in their webs and......
Shivaay(roared): Enough..... Not a word more..... She is my wife and I don't want to hear anything against it..... Dadi if the ritual is over then can we leave.
Dadi: Yes, Priyanka take Anika to...
Shivaay: No need Dadi. I will take her. (holding Anika's hand softly yet firmly) Come.

He pulled her along with him towards his room.... No... Their room.....

Everyone was still in a state of shock. Pinky was shocked more then insulted. She never thought that her son would talk like this with her that to because of some roadside thrash..... Roadside thrash seriously? No she is my bahu now..... But wasn't Tia supposed to be in her place and why is she thinking about her so much. Anika had betrayed them and she would never forgive her.

OmRu and Priyanka were shock seeing the change of events. Rudra was shocked but still very happy seeing his Anika di becoming his bhabi. Om was confused. One side, he thought what would have forced Shivaay to take such a step without even consulting with the other Family memebers and why did he even defend Anika. Priyanka was happy seeing her best friend becoming her bhabi. But was it something that they were missing.

Dadi was the most happiest one. She was finally releaved seeing that her Billu had finally got his takkar ki ishqbaaz.

Dadi(within herself) : Whatever happens never let their relation break. I can see that they will be perfect for eachother. Just give them strength to win every hurdles in their lives. Just give them strength.....

*Shivaay's room*
Shivaay and Anika entered the room. He left her hand and closed the door.

Anika: Kiyu?
Shivaay: What?
Anika: Why did you do like this? Wasn't it a contract marraige for you? Then why did you do like this?
Shivaay: Whatever I did, I am not answerable to you. I have done what I felt was right.
Anika: Yes, of course. Whatever you feel will be right and the feelings of the other person doesn't matter to you at all. Have you ever realised what kind of emotional turmoil I am going through? Aare, how will you understand, you are a stone hearted person who only knows how to break people..... How to torture them.... How to abuse them..... You don't have a heart.... You are heartless..... A heartless beast......

She broke down finally letting her tears flow. She had been holding on to her emotions for a long.... Long time and now finally, she let it go. Shivaay heard her sobs and tightly fisted his hand causing him to injure himself slightly due to his nails. But he was least concerned about himself. Her tears, her sobs were creating havoc within himself.

He turned around and slowly held her by the shoulder and made her stand up. Her head was hung down as she doesn't want to show her tears. He placed his finger under her chin and forced her to look at him.

Shivaay(low voice) : Don't cry please. I can't see tears in your eyes.
Anika(cracked voice) : Why can't you see tears in my eyes? Why can't you see me crying?
Shivaay: Because, you are very much important for me.....

She stared at him with her wet eyes and tried to find out the emotion behind his blue green eyes. He stared at her brown eyes and found only confusion and hurt. He could never withstand those emotions in her eyes. Slowly, he covered the distance between them and hugged her. She froze on the spot.

Shivaay(whispering in her ear) : I'm your husband.... You have the right to hug me.... I won't mind....

The words registered in her head and with lot of hesitation hugged him back. It felt good to be in the arms of your husband..... To be in the arms of your Love.....

*Next Day*
Though Anika was a late riser, but the recent turn of events in her life made her more conscious about her surroundings and changed her drastically. She found herself wide awake when even the Sun hadn't shown up himself. She turned to look towards the other side of the bed, where her husband was sleeping. She took this opportunity to stare at him and went into her thoughts.

Anika's POV
Life is so much unpredictable. Where I thought that after the grand marraige of Shivaay Singh Oberoi, I will do Sahil's operation using the money I will get. But seems like my fate is on a mood to play games with me. The first time when I came across this Man, he was an arrogant rich jerk who can do anything using his money. But, the moment I took that bat in my hand and broke his car glass.... No... No... Windscreen..... I broke his ego along with it. The notes he threw on my face, I returned him back with the same tadi.... Ahh... Attitude..... From that started my encounter with this Man... The Ganzi Aakhon wala Bagaad billa.... The great Shivaay Singh Oberoi.....

Our useless cat and mouse fight.... Teasing him with the name Billu.... Showing Tadi..... The uncontrollable water fights... Me throwing water on him or he throwing me into the water.... Funny right? Why not after who am I to him that everytime throws me into the water? But whatever it is, we can never be friends...... But now circumstances and situation made him my husband..... Not yesterday but days back..... When we had just met each other.... Again a situation, a circumstance made him take such a step..... I thought he will never acknowledge this relationship.... After all he was going to get married to Tia Kapoor.... But yesterday...... With Tia's disappearance on one hand and Family reputation on the other side.... He politely asked me to be his bride.

*FLASHBACK *
Me(shocked): Do you even know what are you asking me to do?
Shivaay: Yes, I know very well.
Me: How can you even think about it like that? How can you even think that I will betray your Family like this? No... I can't do this.
Shivaay: You have to do it and I won't listen anything against it.
Me: Why are you doing this? Why?
Shivaay: You want to know why. Okay then answer me one question(removing the hair covering the partition) why do you still have that vermilion on your hair when I had clearly said that day that I don't accept this relation? Then why do you still have it?

I was shocked hearing his question. And truely speaking I didn't have any answer to it. I was tongue tied. He approached me and held my shoulders.

Shivaay: You seriously have forgotten the relation we have. Bolo Anika. Have you seriously forgotten what you are to me?
Me(looking straight into his eyes) : Your responsibility.... But I don't think you need to worry about this responsibility so much. It is my problem and I will solve it. And I will surely not accept your offer.
Shivaay: Then you have left me with any other option.

Before, I could understand what he meant he picked me up and took me towards a room. I tried to protest but all went in vain. I saw some ladies standing near the dressing table.

Shivaay: You all have 30 minutes to make my would be wife ready. And remember that she is going to be Shivaay Singh Oberoi's wife. So accordingly she should look elegant. Now hurry up and if (looking at me) She tries to deny anything then give me a call. I will handle her.

He made me sit on the chair and went out of the room. Feeling nothing but helpless on my situation, I did whatever the beautician said me to do. In less than 30 minutes, stood an elegent looking Lady clad in bright red lehenga with heavy Jewels in front of me. But the difference was that she lacked the smile on her face. I looked up and my eyes looked with his. He came forward.

Shivaay: Everyone leave.

The room was empty within few seconds and only we were there. He turned me towards him and eyed each and everything about me. I felt a bit uncomfortable but his touch brought me back.

Shivaay: I had always imagined that you would look this beautiful.... But unknowninly, you are looking too beautiful.

I was shocked hearing him. Here, he was literally forcing me to marry him and now he is praising my beauty. If he a bipolar person?

Shivaay: As much as I want to take you like this only but I have to do this.

He took the veil from the dress hanger and covered my head. But he didn't stop there, he pulled down to cover my face as well.

Shivaay: I am sorry for doing this. But I can't tell the Family about this right now. I will handle everything once marraige is over. (taking my hand in his) Have faith in me. I will make everything fine.

Though I wanted to shout on him and ask him many things but his this small promise don't know what magic it did but made me trust him and I went along with him.

*FLASHBACK ENDS*

Though I have no idea, why did he even choose me to be his bride and why did he even accept me as his wife. He is very mysterious and I don't know what more mystery is yet to come. But one thing is clear from yesterday's incident that He has something for me. But why?

*POV ends*

The sun finally rose above the horizon and shined into the room. Anika broke her staring tras and got out of the bed to be ready for the day because she knows a lot awaits for her.

Within 30 minutes, she took a bath and was getting ready in a red sari which Dadi had given her yesterday. The dangling sound of her bangles, woke Shivaay up. He opened his eyes and saw the beauty in front of his eyes. He couldn't help but stare at her. She was struggling with the strings of her blouse. He slowly got up from the bed and went towards her. Silently standing behind her, he took the strings from her hand which made her freeze. He looked up and his eyes looked with hers. While looking at her eyes, he completed his work. He slowly bend towards her and she closed her eyes in nervousness. But feeling him fill her hairline, she opened her eyes. He took hold of her mangalsutra and made her wear it delicately. He looked at the epitome of beauty in front of him and admired it. The stupid knock on the door broke his tras. He quickly took his clothes and went to the bathroom. Anika randomly set her hair and opened the door to see a worker.

Anika: Yes?
Worker: Woh Dadi is calling you and Shivaay Sir downstairs for puja.
Anika: Tell her that we are coming.

She nodded and went. Anika got ready mean while Shivaay arrived wearing a off white kurta. He was setting his hair when Anika spoke.

Anika: Woh.... Dadi is calling us downstairs for puja.
Shivaay : Yaa, she said me yesterday that there are some rituals to be done also. Let's go.

Like yesterday, he again took hold of her hand and walked down the stairs to the hall.

*Hall*
Everyone was waiting for the newly wed couple to come. Finally there wait was over and Shivaay and Anika came down. Dadi went towards them and Anika bent down to take her blessings.

Dadi: Khush raho. Let's go. Some more rituals are felt to be done.
Pinky: But Mummyjis I still haven't accepted this marraige.
Dadi: So what? Your acceptance or not will not change the fact that Anika is Shivaay's wife and the eldest bahu of this house. I don't want anymore discuss on this topic. Billu chaal rasam karna hai.

Shivaay along with Anika followed Dadi. She made them sit opposite to each other with a large bowl of rose milk in it.

Dadi(showing a ring) : Now I am dropping this ring into the bowl. You both have to find the ring and the one who finds it first will be the winner. (dropped the ring) Now start.

Shivika started finding the ring where Anika was sincerely doing it but Shivaay seemed to be lost in her. He was brought back by the touch of her hand which sent shiver down the spine. Their eyes got locked and both of them lifted their hand together holding the ring. Everyone clapped seeing it and Dadi had a known smile on her face.

Dadi(thinking): Takkar ki ishqbaazi...... (to Shivaay) Billu make Anika wear the ring.

Shivaay put the ring in her finger and promised within himself.

Shivaay (within himself) : I promise to protect you always..... Stay beside you.... And always keep you happy..... I promise.....

''Shivaay Baby..... '',a loud shrick was heard. Everyone turned towards the source of the voice to see Tia standing at the door.

Shivaay and Anika stood up seeing her entering the house. Anika couldn't understand how to react or what to do. The place where Tia was supposed to be now she is. But wasn't she the rightful owner of that place? After all she was His Wife from a long time..... But previously they never acknowledged it. A hand slipped into her's and held it tightly giving her the warmth and assurance that she needed. Looking up, she saw Him with an emosionless face. She wasn't unable to comprehend anything.

Shivaay(monotonous voice) : Why are you here Tia?
Tia(crying voice) : Shivaay Baby... I didn't mean to do whatever happened yesterday. But, I couldn't help it. I was kidnapped from the room all of a sudden. Before I could respond to anything I was blacked out. I am sorry Shivaay Baby.
Shivaay: And you think that I will believe in your lie?
Tia: Why can't you believe in what I am saying? Don't you trust me Baby? Don't you love me Baby?
Shivaay(tightening his grip) : Trust..... (chuckled) That's a good word. Yes, I had trusted you so much.... That you will not leave at the last moment. .... Sorry get kidnapped at the last moment.... But I am sorry to break your bubble, I don't believe in whatever you are saying. And how come you are here, the very next day and that too unhurt?
Tia: Shivaay.... I ran away from their clunches and immediately came here. I....
Shivaay(showing his hand to stop) : I don't want to hear anything more. You may leave now.
Tia: Shivaay Baby.... I really love you.....
Shivaay(roared): No.... You don't love me..... (Anika flinched hearing his voice, he calmed down) Leave the house before I do something worse with you.
Tia(angry): How can you change so much within a day? Oh now I realise.... This girl (indicating Anika) might have said you something wrong about me right.... (coming close to Anika and pulled her harshly) How could you? I thought you as my friend but I never knew that you would be doing something like this behind my back. You, middle class people... Always behind money.... Now I clearly understand.... How did all this happen? You, cheap.... Characterless woman.....
Shivaay(roared): Enough.... Not a word more..... I guess you are forgetting with whom you are talking..... She is my wife.... Shivaay Singh Oberoi's wife.... And no one dares to raise a finger at her...... Now before I drag you and threw you out of the house.... It's better that you leave..... Right now.....

Tia stamped her foot on the gound after giving a pointed look to Anika, walked out of the house. In all this commotion, the most shocked were the Family, especially OmRu. Dadi was somewhere happy seeing Shivaay taking a stand for Anika.

Shivaay: Dadi any other ritual to be done?
Dadi: Haa.... You have give new clothes and feed Anika.
Soumya(being curious) : But Dadi what is the signifince of it?
Dadi: It signifies that from now onwards the responsibility of wife's clothing and food in the hands of the husband. Whatever be the situation, whatever be the financial status both have to adjust themselves according to it and manage.... Husband shouldn't forget his responsibility and a wife shouldn't forget hers.
(This ritual is actually in Bengali wedding. So thought of adding it. I hope you all don't mind)

Shiviki looked at eachother. Priyanka brought the plates having cloths and jewelry and the other one had food of varoius kinds.
Shivaay took the plate of clothes and handed over to Anika while keeping the eye contact with her.
Someone passed the food plate to him.

Dadi: Billu, make Anika eat and Anika you too will make Billu eat.

Shivaay took a spoon full of kheer and made her eat. Anika took a piece of roti dipped it in the curry and made him eat. During the whole time, they were drowned in each others eyes.

Dadi(breaking their trans) : Challo.... Everything is over now. Billu I guess you have organised for a reception party in the evening?
Shivaay: Haa, Dadi.
Dadi: Good. Anika, puttar you go and rest. Later Priyanka and Soumya will help in getting ready for the reception. Billu you aren't going to office today. Am I clear?

Both of nodded and Anika walked back to His....nope their room. Shivaay kept on looking at her direction with a hint of admiration...... Is the Stone Singh Oberoi melting? Or is there any other reason?

*Shivika's room *
Anika entered and closed the door behind her. She finally let the tears flow down her eyes. The accusations of Tia ran in her head and it was making her restless.

''Characterless woman....... Middle class people...... ''
''Gold digger...... Black spot in the society in the name of woman.... ''
'' Useless girl..... Burden on our life..... Good for nothing..... ''

Many voices were echoing around her. She closed her ears trying to stop the voices.

Anika(panting heavily) : No.... I am not characterless...... I am not a gold digger..... No.... No......

She screamed and fell down on the floor with a thud becoming unconscious.

The moment she fell unconscious, Shivaay felt a prick in his heart.

Shivaay(whispered): Anika.....

Precap: Doctor: I had already told you about her condition.... Still you are being ignorant of it. I am sorry to say..... But if it occurs then you might loose her again......
-*-
Om(angry): So this is the reason why Anika is here instead of Tia? How can you even think of doing like this with her?
