Present

       Annika was getting ready for her engagement. Yes, it was there engagement today and she was really excited for it. Although she was worried about their relation last night but the little time they spent together made her feel comfortable. He washed away her insecurities with his lovey dovey talks, fake though.

      She looked at her reflection in the mirror after getting ready. She was looking ethereal in maroon dress but what made her look more enchanting was her glowing face. Her happiness was evident on her face. Her eyes were shining with the sparks of delight.

      Ishani entered her room and for a moment she got mesmerised looking at annika.

       'Oh my godddd! Annie, you are looking so beautiful.' She squealed in happiness making annika chuckle.

     'Thank you.' Annika smiled.

     'I'm sure shivaay would be a gone case today.' Ishani said dramatically while annika blushed.

     'Aye aye! Blushing queen.' Ishani teased annika who covered her face with her palms not being able to bear her teasing. Ishani laughed looking at her friend.

     'Ishu! Everyone has come right?' Annika asked composing herself trying to not sound too desperate. But her friend was hell bent on making her a walking tomato.

      'Everyone or someone special?' She gave teasing glances to her. Annika rolled her eyes trying to act bold but her red cheeks were saying some other story.

       'Ishuuuuuu.' She whined.

     'Okay! Okay! Your sayian ji is downstairs only. I came to take you down.' Ishani said calming herself.

      Both the friends went down. Annika reached the hall. Her eyes were scanning the whole area trying to meet their favourite pair of eyes that is his cyan orbs. Their search halted when she spotted him talking to his friends. He was looking ravishing in black.

      His eyes fell on her. Their gazes locked to each other.

     Breathtaking was the word which came to his mind looking at her. She smiled looking at him. He smiled back.

     Ishani took her towards the special sofa made for them to sit. Shivaay too came there. Both sat down.

      Ishani went from there as someone called her.

     He leaned towards her ear whispering, 'Looking breathtakingly beautiful........jaana.' He pecked her earlobe. She clutched her lehenga in her fist breathing heavily. His one peck was enough to erupt thousands of butterflies in her stomach.

        He sat straight as if nothing happened. That bloody smirk was there on his face. She looked at him smiling.

     'Thank you.' She replied softly.

     Soon, Pinki, Harsh and Avantika gathered around them along with their friends and guests.

      After the shagun done by Pinky and Avantika, both were asked to exchange the rings.

      He held her hand in his and slid the ring into her finger before kissing the back of her palm making everyone hoot. She blushed looking down. Seems like it was just blushing day for her.

      Annika too slid the ring into his finger smiling widely. Others clapped for the couple.

     Both were lost in each other when the youngsters asked her to kiss his hand just the way he did. Her eyes widened listening to their demand. Elders chuckled. She looked at him who forwarded his hand towards her lips pleading her with his eyes to kiss it. She placed her lips on the back of his palm and he placed his other hand on his chest acting as if he's dying. Everyone cheered for them. Annika hugged him tightly hiding her red face in the crook of his neck. He hugged her back kissing her forehead.

      Everyone dispersed leaving the couple alone.

       'Shivaayyyy.' Came a sultry voice breaking their moment. They turned their heads in the direction of the voice only to see a girl in her mid twenties in a blue gown standing there with a smile on her face.

       Anger rushed to Annika's veins seeing her. She narrowed her eyes at shivaay who rubbed the back of his neck smiling sheepishly. He knew his junglee billi is in action now.

     'Why the hell you invited her?' She whisper-yelled glaring him.

      'Ummm....her name was in my friend list so.......' He said trying to be formal.

       'Friendddd?' She fumed.

    He was about to say something but the same voice again interrupted him. He got up from his seat ignoring annika who was in her glaring mode.

       'Hey, Shivaay! How are you man?' She hugged him.

     'All fine, Trisha! You say?' He said hugging her back. She gave a smirk to Annika which she royally ignored. This girl was still in her illusion world assuming that shivaay would be her prince charming. But shivaay's arms around trisha didn't go well with annika. But soon a thought came to her mind and she smirked. She too stood up from her seat.

      'Shivaay! Woh i just forgot that i didn't invite Abhik for our marriage. So i'll just come after calling him haan.' She said mentally dancing to see his reaction. He immediately shot a hard glare towards her while she smiled as if she was the most innocent girl in the world.

     He excused himself dragging annika with him. Trisha looked on.

      'You won't invite him, Annika.' He said gritting his teeth. She crossed her arms at her chest and stood there as if nothing happened.

      'I'm saying you something.' He again said but she gave him deaf ears. He took a deep breath to cool down his anger.

     'Okay fine! I won't invite her for the marriage but you are not going to invite him.' He said sighing. She smiled looking at him.

     'Finally!' She sighed smiling. He looked on.

     'You better stay away from her or else......' Annika said pointing a finger at him. He nodded seeing her khidkitod behaviour. She left from there flicking her hair grinning widely.

       He still remember how she got jealous of Trisha when shivaay just casually flirted with her. She didn't talk to him for freaking five days which were like hell to him........

Flashback

        Annika took admission in the same college as Shivaay's. Both were very happy as they got to spend more time together. Shivaay even started going regularly to the college just because of annika. His friends even started calling him majnu as he was behaving like a teenager who was badly and madly in love with her.

         Trisha was also in her class who was a spoilt brat. She had her eyes on Shivaay since the day she had seen him. She even taunted annika myriad times that she doesn't deserve him but Annika being khidkitod never gave an ear to her.

      One day, Shivaay and Annika were sitting in the canteen when Trisha came there.

      'Hey annika!' She said over sweetly. Annika raised her eyebrows looking at her. She was confused as how this bitter like salt girl behaved as sweet like sugar.

     Trisha, by then, understood that to be in Shivaay's good books, she had to be in talking terms with annika. And once she befriended shivaay, Annika can go to hell. Only if she knew.

    'Hi!' Annika said awkwardly. Trisha sat on a table beside shivaay like an unexpected guest in a party. Annika fumed in anger looking at her which shivaay noticed. He mentally chuckled noticing his jealous billi.

      'Hello handsome.' Trisha passed a seductive smile to Shivaay who looked at annika from the corner of his eyes. He smirked. It was a nice chance to make his girl jealous but he was unaware that he would have to pay for it very badly.

      'Hey gorgeous lady.' He replied in the same tone as Trisha's. Annika's eyes turned wide. How dare he call her gorgeous? But shivaay was dancing inside seeing her expressions.

      Annika was about to say something when her eyes fell on Abhik, who was her classmate. Annika had developed quite a good friendship with him since he wasn't like other boys who kept flirting with girls. Even he was quite a competition to her being a studious kind of person. Annika passed a wry smile to Shivaay.

      'Hey Abhik!' Annika said going towards him as Shivaay diverted his whole attention from Trisha to them. Well, when was he genuinely paying attention to her anyways?

      'Oh! Hi, Annika.' Abhik replied smiling.

      Annika started talking to him smiling whilst Shivaay closed his fist tightly. Anger rushed to his veins seeing Annika laughing over someone else's talks. He went towards them.

     'Annika, i need to talk.' He said softly calming himself. Annika ignored him. This repeated thrice. Shivaay's anger reached its peak. Before he could do something, Annika left with Abhik saying she would talk to him later. Shivaay too left from there glaring at her retreating figure.

      This continued for five days. Annika completely ignored Shivaay who was getting more furious with each passing day. She was completely in her revenge mode forgetting that she was awakening the beast inside him. She didn't even pick up his calls nor called him herself. What added more to his anger was that she started hanging out with Abhik everyday.

      After five days, Shivaay's patience broke. He couldn't tolerate it anymore.

    At night, she got a message from his when she was trying to sleep. She checked it instantly.

    'Annika! Meet me at the field before going to college. AND DON'T YOU DARE IGNORE ME.'

      The message hurt her ego.

    'Did he just try to threaten me?' She talked to herself huffing in anger.

      'Now just wait and watch, Mr. Shivaay. Hushhh.' She self talked again throwing her phone on the bed slipping into deep slumber.

Next morning,

     Annika and Ishani were going to college when Ishani's phone rang. She was called by her parents that she had an urgent work. Annika asked to go but she was worried as the route to their college was isolated. Annika convinced her that she would be fine so she left reluctantly.

      When annika walked few steps ahead, she noticed that she was being followed by three boys who looked like some goons. She got scared. She prayed for Shivaay to come to save her as he did last time.

     She started to run but they were fast enough to catch her. She thought to scream but they made her inhale the chloroform which made her loose her consciousness. They took her to some isolated place which was very dark. Tying her to a chair, they left from there covering her eyes with a cloth.

     After some time, she gained her conscious back and realised that she was kidnapped. She started to yell for help. Fortunately, her mouth wasn't tied.

     'Somebody help, ple..please...sh..shiv....shivaay.....shivaay please save me....'

     She was crying when a warm hand cupped her right cheek wiping her tears. She calmed down instantly recognising the touch.

       'Shiv!' She whispered. He opened her eyes, arms and legs. She threw herself in his arms hugging him tightly. He hugged her back. Her body was shivering in fear. He could feel how scared she was. Her rapidly beating heart was the proof of her fear. She was clutching his shirt tightly in her fists hiding her face in the crook of his neck. He rubbed her back saying soothing words to her. She was sobbing badly.

      'Nothing happened, jaana. I'm here only.' He whispered trying to break the hug but she didn't let him.

     After some time, she composed herself and looked at him angrily.

     'You moron, you idiot, you heartless monster, you arrogant beast....do you even know how scared i was? I could have died out of cardiac arrest.' She shouted hitting on his chest with her soft hands while he tried to save himself.

      'Oooww....ahhhhh....stop it you mad woman.....it's hurting.....ahhhhh.' He said trying to hold her hands but she was unstoppable.

     Finally, after few minutes, he caught hold of her hands and pulled her closer.

     'Firstly, i already warned you last night so you can't blame me. Secondly, what's this cardiac arrest? And finally, kya khati ho yaar, lagta hai.'('What do you eat, it hurts?') He said sulking at last.

     'Firstly, you deserve to get beaten. Secondly, cardiac arrest means heart attack. And finally, who the hell asked you to flirt with that cheapdi?' She replied in the same tone trying to come out of his hold which he was tightening with each passing second.

     'And who the hell asked you to hang out with that idiot, that too ignoring me?' He asked angrily.

     She looked at him for a few minutes before bursting into tears looking down making him panic.

     'Oye, jaana. Don't cry, baby. Acha I'm sorry, please.' He said softly wiping her tears.

     'Don't you dare...go....ne...near that cheapdi.....you are.....mine....' She said with hiccups while he chuckled realising that she was still not over her jealousy.

      'And you are also not allowed to hang out with anyone, alright?' He commanded. She nodded.

     Both looked at each other. He moved towards her lips which she parted. Soon both were kissing each other hungrily. It was a kiss full of anger, love, possession and lust. They broke apart being breathless. He kissed her jawline and trailed his kisses down her neck. He was kissing her madly. This was the first time when he went beyond her lips and she felt her heartbeats going erratic over his assaults. She moaned softly breaking his passion. He looked at her who was looking down with a blushy smile. He kissed her forehead assuring her that he won't cross his limits. She hugged him tightly. He reciprocated whole heartedly. Both had a content smile on their faces totally unaware that only few days were left for their happiness to last...........
