Annika-"Maa, Shivaay bahut gussa ho gaye hai mujhpe."

Pinky-"Gussa toh hoga hi na. Par tu tension mat le. Insaan jisse pyaar krta hai usise gussa bhi hota hai. Thik ho jayega uska gussa bhi jald hi."

Shakti-"Ha beta. Shivaay ka gussa thik hoga. You don't worry."

Om came to Annika to apologize.

Om-"I am sorry. Meri wajah se aapko takleef hui uske liye. Aur aap tension mat lijiye. Shivaay aapse bahut pyaar krta hai, maine dekha hai."

A-"It's ok. Aapko sorry bolne ki jaroorat nhi hai."

Sh-"Annika, yeh Om Kumar wahi hai jisse Gauri shaadi krna chahti hai."

P-"Oh my mata. Hamari Gauri?? Are waah bataya bhi nahi usne."

A-"Maa, Shivaay ko pata tha. Woh toh milne bhi gaye the , par mil nahi paaye."

Sh-"Sach?? Accha hua , warna mera plan pura flop hi hota. Aur yeh sab nhi ho pata."

A-"Haa. Maa,uncle me jaake Shivaay se baat krti hu."

Sh-"Kya kaha tumne mujhe? Uncle?? Aajse tum mujhe dad kahogi,samjhi?"

A-"Kya me Papa bula sakti hu?"

Sh-"Ha kyu nahi, jaroor."

A-"Thank you Papa."

Sh-"Hmmm. Ab jao Shivaay ko jaake manao."

A-"Ji"

Pinky and Shakti smiled at her. Annika turns to go.
"Shakti , Shakti kaise ho?" Came a voice. Om heard that voice and turn left side and gulped hard.

Sh-"Amit , tum yaha?"

Amit-"Ha. Me aur Gauri yaha se jaa rahe the socha aapse milke jau."

Sh-"Accha kiya. Isse milo meri bahu Annika. "

Annika took blessings from Amit. Amit smiled at her. Gauri came and hugs Annika.

Gauri-"Maine bahut suna hai tumhare baare me. Tum bahut acchi ho , Shivaay bahut lucky hai. Par uncle Shivaay ne kaha tha ki Annika ka husband wapas aaya....."

Sh-"Are nahi. Woh sab naatak tha. Actually Annika ki shaadi hui hi nahi hai."

G-"Oh....."

Sh-"Are Amit , maine Gauri ke liye ek ladka dekha hai."

G-"Kya??? Nahi uncle mujhe nahi karni shaa...."

Sh-"Are pehle ladka toh dekho accha hai."

Amit-"Kaun hai?"

Shakti came to Om.

Sh-"Yeh dekho."

Om face is not visible to Amit and Gauri. Om is in army uniform.

Amit-"Army officer hai kya? Waah waah mujhe pasand hai."

Shakti turned Om face towards Amit.

Amit-"Tum???"

G-"Mujhe pasand hai."

Amit-"Tum chup raho. Om tum yaha kya kar rahe ho? Kitne din se gayab ho. Shakti yeh ladka mujhe bilkul pasand nahi hai."

Sh-"Are meri baat toh sun lo. Look he is nice guy. Aur Gauri pyaar krti hai isse. Ab toh me use job aur ghar bhi de raha hu toh kya problem hai?"

Amit-"Are par....."

G-"Dad , please na. Me sach me Om se pyaar krti hu. Om bahut accha ladka hai."

O-"Sir , I am sorry for everything. But me sach me bahut pyaar krta hu aapki beti se. Me wada krta hu Gauri ko hamesha khush rakhunga."

Amit-"Ab me kya kahu? Tum dono ne decide kr hi liya hai toh me ready hu. Par ha meri beti ko khush rakhoge tum."

O-"Ji sir. Aap tension mat lo."

Amit hugs Om.Everyone smiled at them. Pinky and Annika hugs Gauri and congratulate her and Om. All are chit chatting when Shivaay came there.

Shivaay-"Gauri tum yaha."

G-"Hi Shivaay. Om se milo."

S-"Om yaha aaya hai. Kabse usse milna baki hai. Kaha hai batao?"

Gauri points to Om.

S-"Yeh?? Yeh Om hai."

Sh-"Haa Shivaay. Me sab batata hu."

Shakti explain him all situation. Shivaay smiled at him.
Shivaay came to Om and congratulate him. Om apologize for his behavior. Shivaay said,

S-"It's ok. Tum dono bahut acche lagte ho ek saath. Hamesha khush rehna. Aur ha Om Gauri ko khush rakhna hamesha."

Om nodded. Gauri came to Annika and brought her near Shivaay and give her hand in his.

G-"Tum dono bhi ek saath bahut acche lagte ho. Ab jaldi se shaadi krlo. Aur hamesha khush raho."

Shivaay left Annika's hand and said,

S-"Gauri tumhe kuch misunderstanding ho gayi hai. Me kisise shaadi nahi kr raha hu. Me..... Mujhe kuch kaam hai. Me bahar jaa raha hu."

He said and left from there. Annika was calling his name. But he didn't stop. Annika became sad.

G-"It's ok Annika. Shivaay ka mood jaldi thik hoga."

A-"Hmm" she respond sadly.

Amit-"Ab hum chalte hai. "

Amit , Gauri and Om left from there. Shakti and Pinky assured Annika that Shivaay will became normal soon. They left from there.

A-"I know Shivaay mujhpe bahut gussa hai. Mujhe kuch karna padega."

She was thinking how to convince him. She got one idea. She called in office and asked about Shivaay. The receptionist said he left the office sometime ago. Annika got ready in beautiful red saree with some simple make-up. She told Pinky that she was going to meet Shivaay and came to the point where Shivaay saved her first time. She waited for some time. It was night by now. Shivaay came there. Annika smiled and told driver to go back with car. She stand in the middle of road. Shivaay was driving fastly. He looked up and saw Annika on the road and stop the car. He looked at her and got mesmerized by her beauty but kept stern face and came out of the car. Annika smiled at him and came to him.

A-"Excuse me. Can you help me? Actually I am alone and my car is not working. "

S-"What's all this? Kya hai yeh sab? Kya kar rahi ho itni raat ko yaha??"

A-"Kaha na maine ki meri gaadi bigad gayi hai. Can you please give me lift."

S-"Stop all this nonsense. And just go from here. I don't want to talk to you."

A-"Par maine kya kiya? Me toh bas lift hi maang rahi....."

S-"Shut up Annika. Kya kr rahi ho? Itna sab drama krke bhi mann nahi bhara kya tumhara? Isliye aur drama kr rahi ho?"

A-"Shivaay mujhe aapse baat krni hai."

S-"Par mujhe tumse kuch baat nhi krni. Kabhi nhi. Chali jao yaha se."

A-"Kyu? Abhi bhi kisi widow se hi shaadi krne ka irada hai kya?"

S-"Tumhe usse matlab? Mujhe kisi se nahi krni shaadi."

A-"Mujhse bhi nahi??"

S-"Tumse toh bilkul nahi. Jo ladki itna jhooth bol sakti hai usse mujhe kuch relation nhi rakhna."

A-"Shivaay , par maine woh sab jaan bujhke thodi kiya na? Maine jab aapko party me pehli baar dekha tha tabhi pyaar hua tha mujhe aapse,sach me. Par phir aapne woh condition batayi na widow se shaadi krne ki. Toh maine socha ki....."

S-"Ki iss ladke ko bewakoof banate hai,hai na?"

A-"Nahi Shivaay. Meri baat toh suniye na. Phir jab aapne mujhe uss din goons se bachaya na....."

S-"You mean nakli goons,hai na??"

A-"Haa wahi. Shivaay please meri baat toh suniye na?"

S-"Jaldi bolo mere paas time nahi hai."

A-"Thank you. Jab aapne mujhe bachaya na yahi tabse toh me aapse pyaar krne lagi. Aur jab aap mujhe ghar leke gaye aur maa ne mujhe apni beti kaha,me khushi se pagal ho gayi. Par mujhe laga ki pata nahi aap mujhse pyaar krenge ya nahi. Isiliye maine woh sab apne husband ke baare me bataya taaki aap jealous ho aur mujhse pyaar krne lago. "

S-"Aur jab maine kaha ki mujhe tum se pyaar ho gaya, tab sach kyu nahi bataya."

A-"Ha me batane wali thi. Par maine socha ki pehle me mere pyaar ka ijhaar kru phir sab sach batau. Aur jab maine aapse 'I love you' kaha tab maine socha hi tha ki ab batadungi. Par phir woh photo wali baat aa gayi."

S-"Tab bhi nahi bataya. Tab toh batati na? Par nahi jhootha photo aur information leke aayi tum, hai na?"

A-"Shivaay tab mujhe laga ki agar maine tabhi bataya toh aap gussa honge. Aur mujhse nafrat karne lagenge."

S-"You know what. Sab kuch tum hi decide kr rahi thi na? Ek baar toh keh kar dekhti. Phir woh captain wali baat hoti hi nahi. Pata hai jab woh OM tumhara husband banke aaya tha , kitni takleef hui mujhe. Mujhe laga ab woh tumhe mujhse alag krega. Aur me.....me nhi jee sakta tumhare bina"

He said with tears in his eyes. Annika hugs him and smiled a bit. He reciprocate the hug tightly. After sometime , Annika came out of the hug and wipes his tears.

A-"Shivaay, me kahi nahi jaa rahi. Hamesha aapke saath hi hu. I love you Shivaay." She said and kissed his cheek.

S-"Tum na bilkul pagal ho."

A-"Kyu??"

S-"Tumne uss din party me woh sun liya ki me ek widow se shaadi krna chahta hu. Par uske aage ka nhi suna na?"

A-"Kya? Jab aapne woh kaha uske baad mama ne mujhe bulaya aur phir me waha se chali gayi. "

S-"Pagal ladki. Pura sunn leti toh yeh sab naatak nhi krna padta tumhe."

A-"Aisa kya kaha aapne?"

S-"Mere friends ne mujhe kaha ki jaisi ladki tumhe chahiye sabko help krne wali, kind hearted, baaki logo ke baare me pehle sochne wali. Agar aisi koi ladki mili jo unmarried ho toh ??"

A-"Phir??"

S-"Tab maine kaha tha ki agar aisi koi ladki mujhe mili na toh me khushi khushi use shaadi karunga."

A-"Sach me????"

S-"Haa. You are mad. Pura toh sunn leti na?"

A-"Haa na. Puri mehnat bekaar gayi. "

S-"Kya???? "

A-"Nahi. Mera matlab hai ki itni mehnat ki na maine woh sab drama krne ki. Agar puri baat sun li hoti toh thodi hi mehnat krni padti."

S-"Ab pata chali na puri baat. Ab krlo woh thodi mehnat."

A-"Kya???? Par ab kyu? "

S-"Shaadi krni hai na mujhse?"

A-"Ha par ab toh aap bhi karte hai na pyaar mujhse. Toh phir kyu?"

S-"Kyuki me gussa hu tumse. Chalo kro ab."

A-"Shivaay..... "

S-"Kya Shivaay?? Me abhi bhi gussa hu. "

A-"Toh kya kru me jisse aapka gussa kam ho?"

S-"Mere ek sawaal ka jawaab do."

A-"Bas itni si baat. Puchiye."

Shivaay smiled at her and sat on one knee infront of her. She looked at him surprised. He took her hand in his and asked,

S-"Will you marry me Ms. Annika? "

Annika smiled with tears flowing through her eyes. She also sat down and nodded positively. He hugs her and she reciprocate with same passion. After sometime he broke the hug and kissed her forehead with love.

S-"Ab aur kisise permission nahi li. Jaise pichle baar apne nakli husband se li thi."

A-"Hmm. Tab bhi toh maine hi ha kiya tha na. Aur ab bhi. I am very happy now. Finally I found my Billanioure Husband. "

S-"Ha aur mujhe meri Annika mili."

A-"Haa. Ab hum hamesha aise hi rahenge."

S-"Aise hi road pe baithe hue??"

She hits his shoulder playfully. He caught her hand and drag her towards himself.

A-"Kya kr rahe ho aap?"

S-"Biwi ho tum meri"

A-"Honewali....."

S-"Accha????"

A-"Ha aur abhi....."

Her sentence cut off in-between as Shivaay placed his lips on her. Annika shocked but smiled after sometime and started reciprocating the kiss. Soon rain started and two love birds gets drenched in rain as well as in each others love.
