Next morning,
Shivika's room,

Shivika were sleeping on their bed cuddling with each other. Annika was first one to get up. She opened her eyes slowly as sunrays disturbed her. She then tried to get up but unable to do so as she felt strong hand on her waist. She looked down at her waist and then at the left side and smiled widely as Shivaay was sleeping there with his face hide in her hairs. She slowly turned to his side and removed her hairs and then looked at his face. He was sleeping peacefully with a smile on his face.

Annika-"He is sleeping like this after whole 3 months. Shivaay I tortured you in last three months na, but now I promise you that you will always smile like this."

She said and leaning over him she kissed his forehead. His hold got tighten on her and one wide smile came to his lips. Annika too smiled looking at him. She then lied down again looking at his sleeping form.

A-"Kitne dino se thik se nhi soye. Aaj sone deti hu inhe jitna mann kre inka."

Annika said to herself and again hugged him and closed her eyes.

Half hour passed like this. And he was still sleeping. Annika opened her eyes and looked at him.

A-"Offo he is still sleeping. Shivaay...Shivaay utho na"

She tried to wake him up but he didn't open his eyes. Annika tried many ways but he didn't open his eyes. Now she was frustrated as she was very hungry and wanted to eat Aloo-Puri made by Shivaay. But here he was sleeping like a log. She thought for a minute how to wake him up and one idea striked in her mind. She shouted,

A-"Hey bhagwaan, what's this? What I am doing here?"

She shouted in his ears and he opened his eyes unwillingly and looked up. She was sitting on the bed with horrified face.

Shivaay-"Kya hua Annika?"

He asked in sleepy voice.

A-"Annika? Who is Annika? And what are you doing in my bed? Hey bhagwaan mein kon hu and yaha kaise aayi? And you....you how can you sleep with stranger? Koi sharam hai ya nhi."

Annika said in one go and covered her face and started crying(fake). But she stopped her acting on next second as Shivaay pinned her to the bed and hovering over her. She opened her eyes in shock. Shivaay smirked and nuzzled into her hairs and then neck.

A-"What...what are you doing?"

Annika whispered. He looked up at her and started tickling her. She was taken a back by this and started laughing.

A-"Shivaay....stop...stop Shivaay..."

He stopped on next moment and held her hands.

S-"Ohh toh mera name yaad hai n khudka nhi?"

He asked raising one eyebrow and she looked away embarrassed.

S-"My Annika promised me that she will never leave me again. And she will never break this promise now. Toh yeh stupid games khelna band kro. Agali baar drama bhi kiya na memory loss ka I will punish you."

Shivaay said and she looked at him.

A-"Toh aap uth kyu nhi rahe the? Kabse mein try kr rahi hu."

She said placing her hands on his chest.

S-"Accha ji? You don't know the reason? Last 3 months se mein thik se soya nhi hu. Khabrdaar agar phir kabhi mujhse durr jaane ka socha bhi toh."

Shivaay warned her sweetly kissing on her forehead.

A-"Mein toh ab kabhi bhi kahi bhi nhi jaaungi. But aapko toh jaana padega na aapke business ki wajah se."

S-"Toh mein tumhe saath le jaaunga."

Shivaay said kissing her eyes and cheeks.

A-"Ok waha baad me jaayenge. First go into the kitchen and make Aloo-Puri for me."

Annika said playing with his kurta button.

S-"Offo ab aajse phir yeh naatak start hoga. Roj Aloo-Puri banani padegi."

A-"Haa... N mere tarah Aloo-Puri bhi aapka peecha kabhi nhi chodegi. Now go."

She said trying to push him
But he didn't move.

S-"Fees lagenge."

Shivaay said coming close to her and she slapped him lightly on cheek.

A-"First go and make Aloo-Puri. Fees baad me dekhenge."

S-"No pehle fees."

A-"Ok."

Annika said and changed their positions and he smiled. She traced her fingers on his face and his hold on her waist loosened. She smiled and slowly moved back. She stood on her feet getting down from the bed. Shivaay opened his eyes and saw her away from him.

S-"Annika....."

A-"I am going to take a bath. Go and make Aloo-Puri in half hour."

She said and ran to the washroom. He smiled.

S-"Pagal"

He said and went towards the kitchen.

A-"Thank you so much"

Annika throws herself on Shivaay after eating her Aloo-Puri. He smiled pulling her close.

A-"You are an amazing husband. Love you."

She said kissing his cheek and he smiled. Before he says or do something he got a call from Tej asking him to come to the study room as they have attend some video conference. She was not ready to go but Annika forced him to go. So unwillingly he went from there.

Shivaay came back to their room after one hour.

S-"Annika, now I am free. Let's go for....."

He stopped as she was not there.

S-"Annika..... Annika"

He checked washroom and poolside but she was not there.

S-"May be bahar hogi kisike saath."

He said and went outside. He saw Rudra in the hall. He had his headphone on his ears. Shivaay came to him.

S-"Annika ko dekha?"

Shivaay asked and Rudra who was busy in listening song nodded in no and left to his room.

S-"Kaha gayi hogi?"

Shivaay searched her everywhere in the mansion but she was nowhere to be seen.

After half an hour everyone was present in the hall and all were worried for her now.

S-"Where is she? Phone tak nhi utha rahi hai. Naa kisise kuch kaha na koi message choda. Where are you Annika?"

Shivaay said dialling her number again. He was scared now.

Gauri-"Jiju yeh Di ka phone. Kitchen me mila. Silent pr hai."

Gauri said coming to others.

S-"Iska matlab yeh phone yahi chodke gayi. Careless girl. Office ka bhi number nhi lag raha. Kaha hogi phir?"

Shivaay said helplessly.

Daadi-"Billu tu chinta mat kr. Woh thik hogi and aa jaayegi."

Daadi said coming to Shivaay.

S-"Pr kab daadi? Ek minute kahi use phirse kuch.....no no aisa nhi ho sakta.... Noo"

Daadi patted on his back to calm him down. Pinky also came to him. Shivaay looked at Pinky.

S-"Maa, use phir se kuch nhi hua hoga na?"

He asked holding Pinky's hands tightly. Pinky hugged him.

P-"Shshhh kuch bhi mat soch Shivaay. Annika thik hogi."

S-"Pr kaha hai woh maa? Mujhe uske pass jaana hai abhi ke abhi."

Shivaay said breaking the hug. Rudra who came out of his room looked at all members confused. He went to Bhavya.

Rudra-"Kya hua Bhavya?"

Before Bhavya says something Shivaay came to her.

S-"Bhavya please ask your team to search Annika. Mein khud bhi jaa raha hu."

R-"Kaha?"

Rudra was more confused now.

Bhavya-"Bhabhi ke pass Rudra. She is missing. Shivaay Bhaiya you go I am going to call them."

R-"Arre nhi nhi. Pehle meri baat suno aap log."

But Shivaay again went to Pinky.

S-"Maa mein jaa raha hu use dhundhne bas pray kro ki phir use kuch....."

Tears formed in his eyes and he stopped.

Om-"Shivaay, mein aur Gauri bhi aate hai tere saath. Chalo Gauri."

Gauri nodded. Rudra tried to say something but no one listened to him.

S-"I just hope woh thik ho. Mujhe bahut darr lag raha hai ab."

Shivaay said and ran towards the door. But before he moved forward he saw Annika outside. She was coming out from one car. Shivaay sighed in relief and ran towards her. Annika looked at Shivaay and smiled widely.

A-"Shivaay, accha hua aap yahi mil gaye. You know mere pass aapke liye na kuch....."

She stopped as he came near her and held her hand and dragged her inside with him. All looked at Annika and sighed in relief. Annika was confused. Once they reached Shivaay checked her face, hands.

A-"What??"

S-"Are you ok?"

Shivaay asked and she smiled.

A-"I am more than ok patidev. Aapko pata hai mein kaha gayi thi?"

She excitedly said taking his hands in hers but he removed his hands from her hold.

S-"Ghumne gayi thi right? You have any idea mein kis situation me hu last one hour se. Meri toh jaan hi nikal gayi thi. Mujhe laga maine phir se tumhe....."

He stopped as tears formed in his eyes again. Annika looked at him worriedly and came to him.

A-"What happened Shivaay? Dekho mein toh thik hu."

She said cupping his face by her hands but he removed her hands.

S-"Haa tum thik ho. But yeh hume kaise pata chalega? You just left without informing anyone. Na koi message na koi call."

A-"Shivaay maine....."

She tried to speak but he cutted her in between.

S-"Kya maine? Haaa kya maine? Jaanti bhi ho tum kya haalath hui thi meri aur sabki. Three month pehle bhi same thing suffer ki thi humne. But tumhe kaise pata na? Tum jaanti tak nhi kya beeti thi humpr us din. Agar jaanti toh phir kabhi aisa krne ka sochti bhi nhi."

He shouted angrily and tears formed in Annika's eyes.

D-"Billu shant ho jaa. Aayi hai na ab woh? And thik bhi hai."

Daadi tried to stop him but he didn't listen.

S-"Nhi daadi. Use sabkuch ek majaak lagta hai, hai na Annika? Batao ab konsa game khelne ka sochke gayi thi? Ohhh tum dekhna chahti thi hamari condition kya hui thi three months pehle. Hai na? Uske liye gayi thi na?"

Shivaay again shouted looking at Annika. Annika was confused, shocked, hurt and what not. Still she wiped her tears and came to him.

A-"Pehle meri baat toh suno Shivaay."

She said holding his shoulders. But he looked away. She smiled sadly and continued looking at others.

A-"I am sorry. I know meri wajah se bahut takleef hui hai. But trust me, maine kuch bhi jaan bujhke nhi kiya tha. Ek important kaam tha, toh jaana pada. Since no one at the home and Shivaay and bade Papa was busy in meeting, I messaged Shivaay. Phir jab mein bahar jaa rahi thi toh Rudra mila tha."

She said and all looked at Rudra.

R-"Wahi batane ki koshish kr raha tha bhabhi mein. But koi sunane ko tayyar hi nhi."

Rudra said and Shivaay was confused.

S-"But you said you don't know when I asked you?"

R-"Haa Bhaiya. But maine toh headphones lagaye the. Mujhe laga aapne pucha Annika ghar pr hai kya..... Toh maine nhi kaha."

Rudra said and Shivaay looked at Annika.

A-"And Shivaay maine aapko bhi messages kiye the. Ek nhi chaar baar kiye the. Maybe network issue hoga. Aap conference me busy the toh call nhi kiya."

She said and Shivaay don't know how to react. Annika came to him again and said,

A-"Aur Shivaay sab assume krne se pehle soch toh lete na. Subah aapne khud kaha na ki ab mein kahi nhi jaaungi aapko chodkr. Toh aapne khud hi kaise maan liya ki mein aapse durr gayi hu abhi."

She said softly and Shivaay looked down.

A-"Phir bhi galti meri hi hai. Mujhe hi sabko batake jaana chahiye tha. I know you all cares for me and was worried about me. Mujhe baad me yaad aaya but phone ghar pr hi bhul gayi thi. I am sorry."

Annika said looking at others and Pinky came to her.

P-"Koi nhi Annika. Aisa hota rehta hai na. Koi nhi ab jo hua so hua."

A-"Nhi maa, aap sab pareshaan the meri wajah se. I am sorry. But I promise aage se aisa kuch nhi krungi."

Annika said and Pinky patted her back. Annika smiled and left from there. All were silent for few moments. All came back from their thoughts as Shivaay's phone rings. He checked and there was four messages from Annika before one hour telling him that she is going out. He told everyone and they smiled sadly.

P-"Koi nhi Shivaay it's ok. But now go and talk to her. She must be crying."

Pinky said and Shivaay nodded before running to their room.

Shivika's room,

Shivaay came there but she was not in the room.

S-"Kaha gayi. pool side me gayi hogi"

He said and was about to go there but stopped as he heard some noise near cupboard. Shivaay walked towards the cupboard and saw her there. Shivaay came close to her and was about to say something but he opened his mouth in shock as he saw she was taking her clothes from cupboard and keeping them in a big suitcase.

S-"Annika yeh....."

He managed to say these two words only. Annika looked at him and again resumed her work.

S-"Annika...kya kya kr kyaa rahi ho tum?"

He said coming to her and tried to take clothes from her hand but she didn't allow him to do so.

S-"Annika I am sorry. I shouted at you because I was worried for you. You know na, ab mein ghabra jaata hu tum saamne nhi hoti ho toh."

Shivaay said and she just smiled looking at him and then continued her work. Shivaay snatched clothes from her hand and throws them on the floor and took her hands in his.

S-"Annika, I am really sorry. I know galti meri hai. Tum chaho toh punishment dedo. But itni badi bhi galti nhi thi na ki tum Ghar chodke jaa rahi ho?"

He pleaded to her and she looked at him confused.

A-"What??? Ghar chodke??"

She said again trying to remember what he meant exactly.

S-"Haa please mat jao na ghar chodke. I am sorry. Tum jo bologi I will do that but don't go please."

Shivaay said kissing her hands. She was so confused about his behavior. She removed her hands from his and kept her hand on his forehead.

A-"Aapki tabiyat toh thik hai? Kya bole jaa rahe ho Shivaay? Kuch bhi."

She smiled and picked up her clothes from the floor and kept them neatly in the suitcase. Shivaay again came to her.

S-"Haa abhi tum ho toh thik hi hu mein. But agar phir tum durr chali jaogi na toh...."

Annika looked at him.

A-"Shivaay bol kyaa rahe ho aap? Mujhe kuch samajh nhi aa raha. Accha hato yaha se mujhe kaam krne do. Bahut kaam baaki hai."

She said and asked him to move from there as he was standing in front of the cupboard now. But he didn't move. She went from his right side and again came with some cothes and kept them too in the suitcase. Now Shivaay looked at her confused as she was placing his some shirts and kurtas in the suitcase. He came to her.

S-"Ab mere kapde kyu pack kr rahi ho?"

She asked and she looked at him.

A-"Kyu matlab? Aap yeh ek hi suit me rahenge kya itne din? Yaa phir wahi kuch naye clothes kharidoge aap?"

She asked and he looked at his suit which he was wearing and then looked at her again.

S-"Kya bol rahi ho tum? Mujhe kuch....."

Before he completes someone knocked on the door.

S-"Come in"

Shivaay said and looked at the door and saw OmRu and Gauri-Bhavya there.

S-"You guys here?"

R-"Haa bhabhi called us. What happened bhabhi?"

They came inside and Rudra asked Annika why she called them.

A-"Ek minute batati hu."

She said and went to the table and taking her bag in her hands she took out three envelopes from the bag. She gave one to Om and one to Rudra.

A-"This is for you four."

OmRu opened that envelopes.

O-"What's this bhabhi?"

A-"Your tickets. Go and enjoy."

S-"Tickets??"

Shivaay said looking at Om's hand.

R-"Bhabhi yeh toh....."

A-"Haa you guys are going on vacation. And this is gift from me and Shivaay."

Annika said with a smile looking at Shivaay and he was more confused now.

G-"But Di....."

A-"Shshhh... I know meri wajah se tujhe n Om ko kitne din alag rehna pada. And Rudra-Bhavya tum dono ko bhi Shaadi ke baad kahi jaane ka mauka nhi mila. Woh bhi meri wajah se hi. So now I want you guys to spend some time with each other."

Annika said and Shivaay now smiled and looked at her proudly. OmRu and Gauri-Bhavya agreed after Annika's requests and left from there thanking Shivika.

S-"Annika....."

Shivaay said coming to her.

A-"And this is your gift. From your khidkitod Annika."

She said giving him that third envelope. Shivaay opened it and there was two tickets for Switzerland. He looked at her surprised.

S-"That means....."

Annika came to him and encircled her arms around his neck.

A-"I know you missed me so much in last three months. I was not with you na, so now this is for you. I will spend next two weeks only with you. Bas hum dono. I know those three months were unforgettable but I will try to give you more happy moments that will lessen the pain which you experienced in last three months."

She said softly and he looked at her for few seconds before engulfing her in a tight hug. She smiled hugging him back.

S-"I love you."

A-"Jaanti hu."

Annika said and broke the hug but he didn't remove his hands from her waist. She smiled.

A-"Waise aap kya bakbak kiye jaa rahe the kuch derr pehle? Chodke mat jao n all?"

S-"Mujhe laga ki tum...tum mujhe chodke jaa rahi ho, kyuki maine gussa kiya na tumpr isliye."

He said with sad puppy face and Annika started laughing.

A-"You are Soo cute my Billuji"

Annika said pulling his cheeks. Shivaay smiled.

S-"Annika....."

A-"Hmm....."

S-"I am sorry for what I said in....."

He couldn't able to complete as she kept her palm on his mouth.

A-"Aapko sorry bolne ki koi jaroorat nhi thi. It was not your mistake."

S-"But galti toh tumhari bhi nhi thi na?"

A-"Pata hai. But mujhe yeh bhi pata hai ki aap aajkal bahut darr jaate ho mujhe khone ki darr se. Tou aapne wohi kiya jo aapko sahi laga. Us baat ko bhul jao ab. Sirkf yeh ek baat yaad rakho ki I am here only with you hamesha ke liye."

She said keeping her head on his chest and he smiled stroking her hairs. She moved back after some moments.

A-"Ab chalo meri help kro packing me."

S-"Hmm ok..... Ek minute"

He was about to move but stopped as he remembered something. Annika looked at him.

S-"Pehle yeh batao we six are going to same place? If yes then cancel this plan right now. Waha bhi tum un logo ke saath busy rahogi all time. Phir yaha hi thik hai hum. Kam se kam kuch waqt toh saath hote hai."

Shivaay said with a pout and Annika laughed pulling his cheeks.

A-"Stupid Singh Oberoi, maine kya kaha unse ki meri wajah se woh log ek dusre ke saath time nhi spend kr paaye, hai na?"

S-"Haa but it was not your mistake na. Phir baar baar yeh kya bol rahi ho ki meri wajah se hua n all."

A-"Haa directly nhi indirectly toh hua na Shivaay. And pehle Puri baat you krne do. Kaha thi mein...haa and aapse kya kaha tickets dene ke baad?ki yeh next two weeks sirf hum donoke hai. Toh what it means?"

She asked and Shivaay smiled after thinking a bit.

S-"Ohh that means we are going to Switzerland alone. Great. But woh log kaha jaa rahe hai?"

A-"Gauri and Om Paris kyuki Gauri ko Paris jaana tha ek baar and Rudra and Bhavya Germany kyuki Rudra ko kabse Germany jaana tha."

Annika said and Shivaay pulled her towards him and locked her in his arms.

S-"And hum dono Switzerland kyuki tumhare Bagadbille ko woh place pasand hai right?"

Shivaay asked and she nodded in yes trying to come out of his hold.

A-"Chalo ab packing krte hai."

Annika said but he tighten his hold on her.

S-"Itni jaldi kyaa hai? Kyu na hum honeymoon yahi se start kre."

Shivaay asked placing a soft kiss on her ear.

A-"H..... Honeymoon?"

S-"Haa honeymoon. Waise you are desperate than me hai na? Kal Shaadi hui nhi aaj honeymoon ki tickets lekar aa gayi. Not bad."

Shivaay said pulling her more close.

A-"Offo Shivaay leave me."

S-"Bilkul nhi"

A-"Shivaay....."

S-"Accha thik hai but ek kiss toh banta hai na. Phir mein samjhunga ki tum naaraz nhi ho mujhse woh thodi derr pehle jo hua us baat ko lekar."

A-"Shivaay....."

She punched on his chest but soon kissed him. Shivaay held her close deepening the kiss. They broke the kiss after sometime.

A-"Ab toh chalo"

She said blushingly and he smiled.

S-"Ok my blushika, let's go."

She again hits him and then they went to do remaining packing.

A-"Hushh finally it's done. Now go and get ready. Hume time pr pahunchna hai."

She said keeping their bags aside.

S-"But flight toh kal ki hai na?"

He asked confused and then checked their tickets once again.

S-"Haa tickets toh kal ki hai. Toh abhi kaha jaana hai?"

A-"Arre aaj Aarav wapas jaa raha hai na London. Bhul gaye? Hume usse milne jaana hai na. Aapne hi toh bola tha ki jaayenge."

S-"Opps sorry mein bhul gaya. Koi nhi. Chalo let's go."

At airport,

Aarav was continuously looking at his watch. His friend Vishal was with him.

Vishal-"I don't think woh log aayenge."

Aarav-"Nhi they will come."

Vishal-"Ok you wait here. I am going to make one call."

Aarav nodded and Vishal left from there.

Aa-"Shivaay ne kaha toh tha ki aayenge. Abtak kyu nhi aaye phir?"

He said again looking at his watch.

Aa-"Only half hour is left now for his flight."

He said sadly and then looked down as someone pulled his jeans. He looked down and saw one small boy there. That boy was looking at Aarav with a smile. Aarav was confused. That boy asked,

Boy-"Uncle you lememble me?"

Aarav looked at him for few seconds and then smiled.

Aa-"Arre tum toh same ho...jo mujhe yahi mile the"

Aarav said happily and that boy nodded. Aarav picked him up in his arms.

Aa-"But that day you were crying abhi toh has rahe ho."

Boy-"You said na lalke(ladke) nhi lote(rote)."

That boy said and Aarav laughed.

Aa-"So you remember?"

That boy nodded and held his palm in front of Aarav.

Boy-"Chocolate??"

He said with puppy face and Aarav smiled. Before he gives him chocolate someone snatched that boy from Aarav. Aarav looked at the person confused. He saw one young girl wearing blue kurti and white leggings.

Aa-"What??"

Aarav was more confused as she was looking at him angrily.

Girl-"How dare you to touch my baby?"

She asked shooting daggers to him.

Aa-"Excuse me you are not his mother. I know his mother."

Aarav said looking at her.

Girl-"Ohh shut up mein jaanti hu yaa tum. Mein acche se jaanti hu tum jaise middle class logo ko. Kisika bhi baccha utha lete ho. Tameez naam ki koi cheez hi nhi hai."

That girl said looking at Aarav from head to toe. He was wearing simple grey shirt with blue jeans.

Aa-"Dekhiye miss whatever....."

Before he completes she cutted him in between.

Girl-"Ohh hello I am not middle class girl like you. Mere pass naam Khoon khaandaan sab kuch hai. Mera naam Khusboo Surya Rajvanshi hai. Aur status ki baat kro toh agar yaha ke saare logo ko puchoge na toh Mera parivaar sabse first number pr hoga. N tumhe dekhke lagta hai tumhare sabse last number place pr."

Aa-"Excuse me, jo log yeh naam Khoon khaandaan pr ghamand krte hai na woh insaan kehne laayak nhi hai. Insaan ko apni pehchaan khud banani hoti hai."

Khusboo-"Oh please itne bhi bure din nhi aaye mere ki tum jaise middle class ladke se me moral gyaan sunu."

Aa-"Ek minute mujhe koi shauk bhi nhi hai tum jaisi ghamandi ladki ko moral gyaan dene ka"

Khusboo-"Don't call me that"

Aa-"Kya ghamandi? Mein bolunga ghamandi kyuki tum ho ghamandi."

Khusboo-"4 baar, 4 baar tumne mujhe ghamandi bola?"

Aa-"Jitna IQ maths me hai na kaash uska 10% logo se kaise behave krna usme hota."

Khusboo-"Mere pass hai toh. Tumhare pass toh minus me hai.

Aa-"Accha hai. Waise bhi tumhare jaisa IQ hone se accha hai na ho. Ghamandi aurat"

Khusboo-"Excuse me my name is Khusboo Surya Rajvanshi."

Aa-"Toh what can I do with this name of yours? Mein kyaa khud ke bhi kaam nhi aayega jyada din yeh naam and khaandaan. Meri maano do something on your own. Kabtak yeh naam khaandaan krti rahogi."

Khusboo-"You middle class boy. Khudke pass nhi hai na koi khaandaan isliye yeh bol rahe o."

"No iske pass bhi hai. But yeh dikhata nhi hai." Came a voice. Khusboo and Aarav turned and saw Shivaay and Annika there. They came before sometime but was enjoying their fight. Now Shivika went near them. Aarav smiled.

Khusboo-"You are Shivaay Singh Oberoi na? I know you."

S-"Hello I am Shivaay. Aarav's friend."

Khusboo looked at Shivaay surprised.

S-"N about Naam and khaandaan Aarav ke pass bhi hai. But woh kisiko dikhata nhi hai."

Shivaay said and Aarav and Annika smiled. Khusboo looked at him confused but before she says something that baby's mother came to them.

Lady-"Khusboo why you were fighting with him. He is the one who last time saved our baby. Sir I am sorry she is my sister and possessive for him so."

Aa-"Koi baat nhi."

Lady-"Chalo Khusboo."

Khusboo-"I am glad I meet you both"

Khusboo said looking at Shivika and left from there not before looking at Aarav he looked away making faces. After they left Aarav turned to Shivika.

S-"So she is the one?"

Shivaay winked at Aarav.

Aa-"Means?"

S-"Bhul gaye maine us din kyaa kaha tha you will get one girl which is totally apposite to you like me and Annika."

Shivaay said and Aarav hits on his arms.

Aa-"Kuch bhi Shivaay. Leave all this, thanks for coming guys."

A-"Dosti me no sorry no thank you Aarav. Waise mein tumhe bahut miss krungi."

Annika said with a sad smile.

Aa-"Mein bhi"

A-"Jaldi se Shaadi kro taaki mein tumhara wedding plan kr saku."

Annika said excitedly.

S-"Annika abhi abhi toh mile hai. Abhi kaafi time hai Shaadi n all me, kyu Aarav?"

Shivaay asked Aarav and Annika was confused.

A-"Matlab?"

Aa-"Kuch nhi. Shivaay stop it yaar. Nothing like this will happen."

S-"Dekhte hai."

Aa-"ok dekho. Waise guys I have to go now. Formalities bhi complete krni hai."

A-"Ok go byee... Waha jaake hume bhul mat jaana."

Aa-"Bilkul nhi."

He hugged Shivika and asked Shivaay to take care of Annika and vice versa.

Aa-"Chalo good bye. Phir milenge kabhi."

Aarav said and left from there. Annika was looking at him sadly. Shivaay held her hand.

S-"Don't worry he will come back soon."

A-"Hmm waise kya baat kr rahe the aap dono?"

S-"Us din maine Aarav ko kaha tha ki use bilkul meri jaisi ladki milegi kyuki woh bilkul tumhare jaisa hai."

Shivaay said and Annika was confused at first but then she smiled widely.

A-"And yeh Khusboo bilkul waisi hi hai?"

Annika asked surprisingly. Shivaay nodded.

S-"See waha bhi lad rahe hai."

Shivaay said and Annika looked in front and saw Khusboo and Aarav there .

Khusboo-"Aahh how dare you to come and bump on me?"

Aa-"excuse me it was just an accident."

Khusboo-"Oho...stay away from Khusboo Surya Rajvanshi. I am telling you for the last time."

Aa-"Your name and presence both are so irritating. Itna bada naam kon leta hai. Kitna sweet name hai Khusboo but tumhe toh uska kachra krna hai na yeh khaandaan aage lagakr."

Khusboo looked at him when he says sweet name but again composed herself and said,

Khusboo-"How dare you to call my khaandaan kachra? You and your....."

Shivika were looking at them with a smile.

A-"Hum bhi aise hi ladte hai na Shivaay?"

Annika asked holding Shivaay's hand tightly.

S-"Noo... Hum aise ladte the Annika. Abhi hum..... Haaa waise ladte hai."

Shivaay said pointing at the right side and Annika looked at that direction. There was one married couple sitting on one bench. Annika tried to listen what they were talking about.

Man-"Maine kaha tha na aisa hi hoga. But nhi tumhe toh kuch maanana hi nhi na."

Lady-"Aahaa.... Jaise khud toh meri sab baat maante ho na"

Man-"Haa aur nhi toh kyaa saari tumhari hi baate maanani padti hai. Phir woh sahi ho ya galat."

Lady-"Accha ji? Aise bol rahe jaise ehsaan kr rahe ho mujhpr. Khud ki hi bhalai hoti hai na..meri nhi. N ek minute yeh white shirt, I told you to wear blue not white. See yeh baat tak nhi maani n bolte ho saari baate maanta hu...great."

Annika laughed and looked at Shivaay who was also laughing with her.

S-"Dekha.... Hai na same to same hamare jaise?"

A-"Hmmm bilkul hamari carbon copy."

Shivaay nodded and then his eyes fell on the another couple.

S-"And see kuch saal baad hum waise honge."

Annika looked at the direction where he was looking. There was also one couple with their 3-4 years daughter.

Lady-"Dekho jra ise, bilkul tumpr gayi hai. Kuch sunana hi nhi hai ise jo mein kahu. Papa yeh papa woh...papa sabkuch... Mamma ka kya hai na...hu hi kon mein?"

Man-"Haa toh she is my princess and I am glad ki koi hai jo mera sunta hai. Warna 4 saal pehle tak toh mujhe kuch kehne ki bhi permission nhi thi."

Lady-"Accha toh phir yeh lo tumhari princess. Aaj ke baad iska suno bhi and sab kaam bhi tum hi krna iska. Khane se lekar padhai tak. Mein bhi toh dekhu kya kya kr sakte ho aap. Agar kr paate toh kuch nhi kahung uske baad kabhi bhi aapko."

Man-"But Maine kab kaha ki mein tumse better yeh kaam kr sakta hu."

Lady-"Abhi..... Abhi kaha na aapne."

Man-"Maine aisa nhi kaha tha. Mein toh bas...."

Lady-"Kya bas....."

Annika was so lost looking at them but came back from her thoughts as Shivaay called her. She looked at him.

A-"Shivaay hum bhi aise hi ladenge kya?"

She asked and Shivaay smiled.

S-"Haa but aisa ladne ke liye kuch krna hoga na"

A-"kya??"

S-"Arre woh log kyu jhagda kr rahe the?"

A-"Unki bacchi ko lekar."

S-"Exactly toh waisa ladne ke liye hume bhi toh ek princess....."

Shivaay came close to her face and she slapped lightly and looked away.

A-"Shivaay aap bhi na....."

S-"Mein bhi kyaa?"

A-"Cheapde ho"

S-"Abhi tumne dekha hi kaha hai mujhe cheapda. Then let me show you how cheapda I mean cheap I am."

Shivaay again said coming close to her.

A-"Offo Shivaay stop embarrassing me. We are at public place."

She said moving away from him.

S-"Hmm sad thing. Abhi toh hume ghar me hamare room me hamare....."

She closed his mouth.

A-"Chi chi chi...I don't like your Prem Chopra avtaar. So better shut up."

She said and removed her hand from his mouth as he kissed on her pal.

S-"Ok fine abhi ke liye hota hu shut up but kal dikhata hu tumhe."

A-"Shivaay stop it."

She said as he pulled her close by holding her waist. But he didn't listen. Annika looked away as she was blushing hard. She then looked at Shivaay.

A-"Shivaay unhe dekho..... Hum aise bhi ho jaayenge nhi?"

Shivaay looked at the direction she was pointing. There was one old couple around their 80 were seated in another side.

Lady-"Kisne kaha tha woh saare pakode khane ko kal raat. Iss umar me bhi yeh harkatein ab ho gaye na bimaar?"

Man-"Tumne apne pyaare haathon se khud banaya tha kaise mana krta mein?"

Lady-"Yeh jhooth mere saamne mat bolo. Pakode pasand hai isliye kha gaye Abhi saare. Abhi jo yeh bimaar ho uska bhi sab mujhe hi dekhna padega ab. Kitna kuch kru mein hi..."

Man-"Kuch bimaar nhi padta mein. I am still healthy not like you. Tum toh bahar ka kuch khaati bhi nhi phir bhi itni saari medicines. Mujhe rakhni padti hai pass sab kahi bahar jaaye toh."

Lady-"Toh mat rakho. Lao mein mere pass rakhungi. Kisiko koi pareshaani uthani ki jaroorat nhi hai mere liye."

Man-"Nhi rehne do. Bhulne ki bimaari hai tumhe. Phir bhul jaogi rakhke n phir mujhe hi dhoondhni padegi. Toh abhi yahi mere pass hi thik hai."

Shivika looked at each other and laughed.

A-"Sab log hamari tarah hi ladte hai na Shivaay. Yaa phir hum sab logo jaise."

She asked and Shivaay smiled.

A-"Kya hua?"

S-"Sab hi couples aise ladte hai Annika. Ladne se hi pyaar badhta hai, hai na? And hum yeh baat acche se jaante hai."

A-"Hmm means we all are same."

S-"Yeah all are same but still we are different and unique from others."

A-"Haa woh isliye kyuki hum khidkitod Shivika hai."

Annika said and Shivaay smiled.

S-"Haa woh toh hai hi. But uske saath hum aisa couple hai jo chahe kuch bhi ho end me hamesha saath aata hai, kyuki hamara pyaar, hamara ek dusre pr trust sab kuch ek alag level pr hai. Dekho from very first kitni mushkile aayi hamare raaste me, kitne logo ne hume alag krne ki koshish ki phir bhi woh saari mushkilo ko paar krke hum yaha aaye hai. Aur us sab problems se hamara rishta kitna majboot hua hai. Hai na?"

Shivaay asked and Annika nodded in yes.

S-"Problems toh aage bhi aayengi but....."

She completed his sentence.

A-"But hum dono uska bhi saamna krenge. Phir koi problem aayegi phir koi badi fight bhi hogi hamari phir bhi hum ek dusre ka saath kabhi nhi chodenge. Aur kuch pal ke liye saath chuta bhi toh bhi phir saath aa hi jaayenge."

Annika said and Shivaay nodded.

S-"Kyuki hum jaante hai Annika hai to Shivaay hai and Shivaay hai to Annika. And Shivaay and Annika hai isliye Shivika hai."

Shivaay said and Annika nodded and some tears formed in her eyes. Shivaay wiped them and kissed her forehead. He then side hugged her and she kept her head on his chest.

Tu Humsafar Hai, Phir Kya Fikar Hai
Jeene Ki Wajah Hi Yahi Marna Issi Ke Liye...
