Next day

Annika and shalini were eating breakfast,and it was shalini who broke the silence first...

Sh-ah...I'll stay in hostel itself ,I'm fine with it(hesitating)
A-shalini(sighing)I know ,everything happened suddenly and so you would be disturbed but plss try to understand and accept the reality.We both are sisters (holding her hands),it is not possible for both of us to adapt all of a sudden but we can just give it a try. Don't feel awkward ,it's your house,Resh is also your sister.We are with you and we want to be with you ,why do you want to live alone.But I respect your opinion, if you still want to move you can,but remember one thing I'm always there to support you (saying this she got up but instantly shalini held her hand and she looked at her)
Sh-I'll stay here(smiling)

Annika also nodded with a smile.Reshma had gone to meet her friend today....

Then annika and shivaay were going in the car to the station,annika was feeling nervous as it's her first presentation today and she was constantly ranting to shivaay...

S-annika, put on your seatbelt (without looking at her)
A-hmm.?

He signalled her again and she did it silently ...

A-so,you didn't listen to me all this time(grumpy face)

But he remained silent throughout the journey and she just turned her gaze through the window being angry.They reached the station and she was about to get down suddenly he pulled her in a hug and rubbed her back gently...

S-I can't guarantee that you will be selected ,but I am sure you are going to give your best.So be confident and do well hmm(holding her head)
A-hmm(nodded)

Then they both went and annika got on the train shivaay also went along to find her seat,and she found her place and sat there...

S-I'll come with you (requesting)
A-I know that you have an important meeting today so ,no such thoughts go(ordering)

And he also left from the train being dissapointed,and the train started moving and she was standing on the footboard....

S-annika ....go inside.(running with the train)
A-shivaay,I forgot to tell. I'll return by evening itself ,I'll call you(still standing there)
S-first go inside baby (insisting worriedly)

And she also went and sat near the window and waved bye to him to which he also responded still running along with the train.After sending her he went to his office.

Evening

After work shalini was waiting for an auto, as usual she was listening to FM...But suddenly her vision started blurring when she heard that the pune to Mumbai train had blasted due to some engine failure(she knew that annika was returning in that train).She immediately rushed to the office as shivaay was still working .

Sh-sir(panting)sir...
S-what happened shalini?
Sh-sir vo annika...annika(tears continuously flowing from her eyes)

Hearing the word annika from her he immediately stood up and headed towards her...

S-kya huwa annika ko ...haan(tensed and worried )

Then she told everything with so much difficulty, as she herself was crying badly.But on the other side shivaay stood numb ,he heard everything what she said but he stood as though he was deaf and dumb.Watching this shalini shook his shoulders and he immediately went down without speaking anything and started his car .She also sat beside him.Throughout the way he was calling her but it was switched off.He was driving the car like a mad breaking all the traffic barriers, whereas shalini was scared to see him like this and she was crying continuously.

Finally they both reached the station and they went to the counter to check the name list.Shivaay never looked like a normal person, he was just moving like a lifeless body. They found the counter to be crowded like hell ,but shivaay didn't care about anything he somehow managed and went near the counter...

S-an..ni..ka(stammering as he was scared to death)

And the person checked the list (ticket)and nodded positively to shivaay.

Shivaay came out from the crowd and instantly shalini came running to him and continuously shot him with questions, but witnessing his tears she understood. She sat with a thud on the ground not being able to bear it.

While shivaay just kept on walking straightly...

S-what will I do now...meri annika ...(mumbling to himself) meri annika...

Like this he continued walking mumbling like a mad person...

Here shalini was crying hysterically, at the same time she received a call from an unknown number continuously. At one point she attended the call...

A-shalini where are you why is the door locked ,come soon I'm in sheena's home.

Listening to her shalini felt extreme relief and instantly she searched for shivaay ,but the phone slipped from her hand when she witnessed shivaay walking towards the track subconsciously and a train was coming that way.She immediately ran to him but the train was approaching more close to him and he was about to step forward (on the track) but instantly shalini pulled him onto the platform...

Sh-aap pagal hogaya hai kya(angrily)
S-(jerking out her hands)tho kya,what am I going to do without her (crying hysterically)
Sh-just shutup...your annika is safe ,she fine come with me (pulling him)

Shivaay was just confused and he moved with her.They both reached sheena's home and sheena told that annika is in the room .Shivaay rushed into the room.
Annika who was sitting on the bed instantly stood up watching his condition. His half tucked in shirt with opened buttons in the top.His always perfectly gelled up hair was in the worst condition...

A-shivaay ,ye ky...

Before she could complete he came running and hugged her tightly and due to imbalance she fell on the bed with him on the top still in hugging position. She was confused by his act whereas he was continuously kissing her neck placing his head in the crook of her neck(leaving out all his tears) .She didn't knew the reason but once she felt his tears on her skin she rubbed her fingers through his hair mumbling "it's ok...it's fine now" in his ears continuously. But he was not to be convinced so soon,the last two hours were literally like hell to him,so it was only her who could soothe him now .And so he pressed his lips all over her face not leaving an inch gap between them.She also didn't question him as she realized he's in need of it .They remained in the same position for 15 minutes ,now shivaay was just laying beside her with his head on her chest and pulling her more closer by holding her waist...

A-Shivaay ...kya huwa(running her fingers gently through his hair)
S-.......pune to Mumbai train....blast aur muje laga tum...(again kissing her collar bone and pulling her close)

Annika understood what would have happened ,she slowly lifted his head and made him meet her eyes....

A-what will I do without you haan(kissing his forehead)I won't go anywhere(pressing her lips on both his eyes with her hands making way through his bare chest to his neck)Annika will never leave shivaay and it's a promise(again kissing his forehead ).

It was a long kiss,and shivaay closed his eyes feeling her.And he felt as though his lost soul returned back,he could never imagine his life without her,.That one kiss was all enough for him to forget what all happened,it was indeed that only she could soothe him be it any situation.And she made him sit cupping his face and rubbing his tears away...

A-who told you all this (while adjusting his hair)
S-Shalini.
A-where is she?
S-shayad bahar(still not out of the fear totally)

And they both went to the living room,seeing her at once shalini crushed her in a hug...

Sh-today morning only you told that you won't leave me alone ,(crying more)you scared me very much.
A-ok ok...I'm fine(consoling her)

And after a long time she was able to convince her,and she told that she missed the train and so she came by cab...
S-why didn't you tell me ?(angry)
A-my phone's battery was dead.
S-your very careless annika(scolding tone)
A-I tried calling you from sheena's mobile ,it was unreachable then only I called shalini(trying to defend herself)

Shivaay just nodded in disbelief...

Every time I look at the keyboard,I see that U and I are always together❤
