Parking his car in the parking area of his apartment Shivaay moved towards the lift. He was about to enter into the lift but stopped as he bumped into something. He looked at front and then realized the lift door was closed as he didn't press the button. He rubbed his nose a small smile crept on his lips.

      This is not the first time. He did many mistakes while driving back to his apartment. Broke one-two traffic rules, about to hit one street dog and while entering into apartment area forgot to open the gate and so his car hits on the gate.

"Shivaay, you are behaving like this for the first time. And that too because of one girl? No no...not because of her...but because of her words. But both are same....and don't tell me you didn't drool over her when you saw her....of course you did that's why you realized on very next moment that bangle was hers."

      Shivaay now pressed the lift button and while waiting for lift to come on the ground floor his mind and heart started arguing with each other. Heart was saying something but mind was apposing each n every thing which heart says. And it was happening after her words which she used to convince him. He nodded his head in no coming out of his thoughts when lift door opened and then went inside.

      The moment he entered into the house Rudra ran to him and literally jumped on him.

"Bhaiya Bhaiya Bhaiya thank you for coming...."

      Rudra shouted while hugging his brother. Shivaay was startled by this as he was again lost in her thoughts.

"Huh??... What happened Rudra?"

      Shivaay asked coming out of his thoughts.Rudra moved back and looked at Shivaay's face.

"You are looking as if you are lost somewhere."

      Rudra said when he observed his brother's face.

"What happened?"

      Rudra questioned.

"Nothing."

      Shivaay replied on next moment with a smile and so stopping Rudra from asking many questions.

"Ok leave that... see who is here."

      Rudra said pointing at the sofa and Shivaay turned to look. Little Aarya was sitting there looking at them with grumpy face.

"Hey hello Aarya....why you are here at this hour of night? You don't want to sleep?"

      Shivaay questioned Aarya and before she replied Rudra said,

"She wants to sleep Bhaiya. But you know na she can't sleep without listening a story and Yash Bhaiya slept early as he was tired and she don't want to listen it from bhabhi. So as usual she is here."

      Rudra informed with details.

"Shivaay Bhaiya thank god you are here. Now you tell me the story na... Rudy refused to tell."

      Little Aarya said pleadingly and at the end glanced at Rudra angrily. Shivaay smiled.

"Okay"

      Rudra clapped happily.

"Toh I am going. I have to complete my assignment but she was forcing me to tell her story. So I refused. Now you both see what you want to do. I am going. Bye"

      Rudra said and left from there. Shivaay came to Aarya.

"Bhaiya story...."

"Yeah sure but can I go and change my this dress first?"

      Shivaay asked looking at his kurta as he was feeling not comfortable now in that but Aarya refused,

"No I have school tomorrow and I want to sleep early."

     She stated and Shivaay nodded his head in disbelief.

"You want to sleep and also want to listen story?"

     Aarya nodded sheepishly and Shivaay moved towards kitchen.

"Bhaiya story....."

      He turned to her.

"Yes princess just give me 2 minutes."

      Shivaay said and she nodded. He disappeared into the kitchen and came back with two bowls of chocolate ice cream. Aarya jumped from her seat when she saw ice cream.

"Yayyyyy ice cream"

      She shouted happily snatching bowl from his hand.

"Yeah but don't forget to brush your teeth after that. And eat slowly beta."

      Shivaay asked her to eat slow and she agreed. Both enjoyed their ice cream and then Aarya put bowl on the table.

"Now story"

      Shivaay also put down his bowl saying,

"I don't have any other option. So let's start."

      Shivaay said adjusting on the sofa. Aarya was already sitting there looking at him with concentration.

"So in one forest there was lion and his....."

      Shivaay started but she cutted him off.

"No I heard this. Please tell something new."

      Aarya demanded.

"Ok then Cinderella?"

      Shivaay suggested but she nodded in no.

"You only told this story in last week."

      Aarya said and Shivaay bite his tongue.

"Oh sorry.... Then what?"

"Something beautiful, something magical...aisa kuch jisko sunate hi jaane ka mann kre."

      Aarya dreamingly said and,

"Just like her?"

      These words came out of Shivaay's mouth. Aarya was confused.

"Her? You mean the girl in the story?"

      Aarya asked and Shivaay who was again lost in her came back from his thoughts.

"Huh?? No no.... I was just....."

      He stopped for a second and then continued with smile,

"Ok fine let's assume her as the girl in our story."

      Aarya nodded with a smile.

"So there was one girl and she was living....."

      Shivaay started but Aarya stopped him.

"What's her name?"

      She asked.

"That's the problem I don't know her name."

      Shivaay sadly replied.

"How's that possible Bhaiya? You are telling me the story of one girl and she don't have name?"

      Aarya asked.

"No no....she has name. But I don't.....wait a minute....."

      His eyes shined as he remember something.

"When Sahil came to take her he called her by her name only....what was that...what was that..."

      Shivaay said trying to recall her name. Little Aarya was looking at him.

"Who is Sahil? Hero of the story? So you knows his name and not heroine's? Not fair Bhaiya. Girls and boys are equal equal."

      Aarya complained and Shivaay looked at her coming out of his thoughts and smiled,

"No Sahil is her brother's name. And I seriously don't remember her name. What was that??"

      He said again trying to remember it.

"Wait a minute Mallika's mother  also called her by her name? Yeah I remember. And may be Mallika also called her name... But then what was that....."

      Shivaay murmured trying to recall but was unsuccessful again.

"Bhaiya that's ok. You can tell me the story first. We will give her name at the end."

      Aarya said but he nodded in no while saying,

"No that's not ok. I thought I don't know her name. But in front of me someone called her by her name and I didn't notice...how's that possible?..think Shivaay think"

      He scolded himself recalling all the events of the evening. Aarya was staring at him cluelessly. After a minute Shivaay shouted happily,

"A....."

      Looking at Aarya and now / little girl was more confused.

"A?? Girl's name A? Only A? Aise kaise?"

      Aarya questioned him folding her hands.

"No no not A beta. I mean to say it starts from A....but what was the full name....A.... A....."

      He tried putting extra pressure on his head but still didn't able to remember. Aarya came to help him.

"Aarya??"

      Shivaay looked at her and nodded in no with a smile.

"Then Aastha?"

      Aarya suggested but he nodded in no.

"Then Aarti, Aasha....or Aabha...."

      Aarya took some more names which starts from alphabet 'A'. But Shivaay nodded in no.

"No no. Nothing from these. It was something different and something unique."

      Shivaay stated.

"Then Aashi, Aahana??"

      Aarya said after thinking a bit but still he nodded in no.

"No.... something different."

      Aarya again said 2-3 names after thinking for another 2-3 minutes but he was refusing every name which she suggested. Now Aarya was tired.

"Bhaiya let it be."

      She said in a sleepy voice.

"No no I have to remember her name at any cost."

      Shivaay was not ready to let it go now. Aarya started thinking about something and then,

"Ok Bhaiya fine, you tell me she is beautiful, right?"

      Aarya asked and Shivaay nodded in positive with a smile.

"Yeah very beautiful."

      Shivaay answered and Aarya asked again,

"And you said magical too?"

      She asked and Shivaay replied on very next moment without thinking,

"Haa she is the most beautiful, magical, sweet and...and angry too."

      Shivaay stated again recalling their all meets. Aarya thought for one minute before asking another question,

"And it's starts from A right?"

      She asked and he nodded.

"Yeah starts from A. I am very sure."

      Shivaay replied and Aarya smiled.

"Ok then we can keep her name as Angel."

      Aarya suggested and Shivaay stared at her for a moment and then replied,

"Angel?? No no not Angel her name was something else."

      Shivaay refused to assume any other name.

"Offfo..... I know that Bhaiya. But you are not remembering it now na. N we want her name to proceed further. We want her name so that you can tell me the main story. So it's Angel only."

      Aarya stated sternly.

"But....."

      Shivaay tried to refuse again but she cutted him off.

"See you said she is beautiful and magical....so she is not less than any Pari right?"

      Aarya asked and her smiling face came in front of Shivaay's eyes.

"Yeah...bilkul Pari jaisi hi thi."

      Words escaped from his mouth. And Aarya clapped.

"See...so I was right. And in english language we use Angel word for Pari....  N you also said her name starts from A......so taking all things into mind, Angel is just perfect"

      Aarya explained and Shivaay stared at her but his mind filled with her thoughts. After few moments he replied,

"Angel???... Yeah you are right. Indeed she us truly an angel, real life angel."

     He said as he recalled how she explained things to Vishal and how he changed within some minutes. He again came back from his thoughts when Aarya said,

"Haa so now her final name is Angel. Now let's move to our story...... Heroine name is Angel her brother's name is Sahil....n hero's name? What's that?"

      Aarya asked trying to guess out what it could be.

      "Shivaay" before Shivaay or Aarya says something came a voice. Aarya and Shivaay looked up and saw Om at the door. 

"Hero name is Shivaay? Really?"

      Aarya asked as she was surprised. Om laughed at her words.

"No baby I was just calling your Shivaay Bhaiya."

     Om said and Aarya was little bit upset.

"I thought hero was our Bhaiya only."

      She said and Shivaay smiled looking at her sad but cute face.

"Shivaay, bhabhi is calling her. Aarya tomorrow you have school, you know na?"

      Om asked and she nodded in yes.

"But I will go after story ends."

      Aarya said.

"Shivaay Bhaiya tell me, what happened next?"

      She turned his gaze to Shivaay.

"Aarya baby it's late. I promise I will tell you 2 stories tomorrow. But now go and sleep."

      Shivaay tried to convince her. She was not ready but when Shivaay said he will tell her 2 stories tomorrow she agreed.

"Twooo?? But promise?"

      She asked in sleepy voice.

"Haa I promise. Now go."

      Aarya nodded with a smile as Shivaay asked her to go and she left from there not before wishing them good night. Om closed the door and looked at Shivaay who was again lost in thought. But Om was surprised when he noticed Shivaay's smile. And he was shocked to witness that his brother smiling without a reason may be for the first time in his life. He came to Shivaay.

"Are you alright?"

      Shivaay looked at Om coming out of his thoughts.

"Yeah I am fine. Why you asked?"

      Shivaay replied with a small smile.

"You are fine? So what was that Shivaay? So much drama for just name? You can take any random name na?"

      Om said and Shivaay looked at him surprised.

"You heard??"

      Shivaay asked and Om nodded.

"Yeah I heard Aarya was suggesting some names but you were refusing. Shivaay that was just a story. Why that much drama for a mere name?"

      Om asked and Shivaay looked away from his.

"H...haa woh Angel....I... I mean Aarya was not ready for any random name."

      Shivaay said looking out of the window.

"Aarya?? Really Shivaay?  She was suggesting some names  it was you who was doing drama over one simple name."

      Om said and Shivaay turned to look at Om trying to look surprised.

"Me?? No no not me.... Ohh haa just...I just want to keep her busy as I didn't remember any new story. And she wanted new story. So I was doing that."

     Shivaay reasoned and Om looked at him.

"Really Shivaay?"

      Shivaay got up from sofa.

"Haa that's why I was doing that.  Om I am very tired today. Want to sleep. So I am going. Good night."

      Shivaay said in one go and before Om replied he left from there. Om stood there looking at Shivaay's back. After Shivaay disappeared into his room Om said,

"Strange..... He was not agreeing to Aarya when she was suggesting names. Don't know what name he wants to listen from Aarya."

"Annika, see I have made chocolate....."

      Megha said in her cheerful voice entering into Annika's room but stopped in middle and her eyes widened in shock as she witnessed the condition of room. Nothing at it's own place, closets were open, some clothes falling from that, many on the floor also. Bed is filled with all ornaments, books and makeup boxes.

"Hey bhagwaan what's this? Kahi chor toh nhi?"

      Megha shouted in fear after she examined the whole room and then called Gauri and Annika's name.

"Annika, Gauri.....are you here?"

      She asked looking around but she saw no one there.

"That means Pakka chor...no no kidnapper..... Oh my God I have to tell Raj."

      Megha was so scared now. She turned to go but stopped as she saw something under the bed. Slowly tiptoeing she came towards the bed. Before she bend down to see, Annika came out from there. She sighed in relief.

"Annika....what were you doing there? And what's this?"

      Megha said pointing at the room. Getting no response from Annika she looked at him and saw she was lost somewhere.

"What happened to you? Are you ok?"

      Megha asked worriedly placing her hand on Annika's shoulder. Annika turned to look at Megha and Megha noticed tears in Annika's eyes. She kept the tray which was in her hand on the side table and cupped Annika's face.

"You are crying? What happened??"

     Megha asked and Annika looked at her for a second before hugging her tightly.

"Chachi mera kangan. I don't know where I lost it."

      Annika said in low voice, she was on the verge of crying.

"Kangan??"

      Megha was confused so she asked while patting on Annika's back.

"Haa Kangan. When we came back I was removing my jewellery and I noticed only one is with me. That means other one is missing."

      Annika said and broke the hug.

"I searched it everywhere. But kahi bhi nhi hai."

      Annika said and tears formed in her eyes again.

"So what's there to cry haa? We will search it. Trust me it will be here only."

      Megha said trying to pacify Annika but she nodded in no.

"I searched it everywhere Chachi. Oh god how could I... I am so irresponsible. I lost it."

      Annika said cursing herself while crying.

"Shshhh it's not your mistake. N don't worry we can search it in Mallika's house also. You were so busy in one or other work so may be you lost it there only."

      Megha said making Annika sit on the bed. She was not ready to sit but Megha forcefully made her sit.

"Haa Chachi I also think so. So I asked Gauri to call Mallika."

      Annika said and Megha looked at her little bit shocked.

"Annika they must be busy in some work na. Shaadi ka ghar hai woh. Why you asked Gauri to call. We should have go to her house tomorrow morning, right?"

      Megha scolded Annika.

"No Chachi. You know na what that kangan is to me. I can't afford to lose it at any cost. I want my kangan back."

      Annika said and again tears formed in her eyes. Before Megha replies Gauri came there. Annika ran to her.

"What happened? They got it?"

      Annika asked but Gauri nodded in no.

"Nhi Di... Mallika Di asked all servants to search but no one was able to find it."

      Gauri informed and Annika was more upset now.

"That means it's not in Mallika's house too. Oh God then where it is? I want it back please."

      Annika said and started crying loudly now. Megha and Gauri tried to convince her but she was not listening.

"Di, I don't know why that kangan is so important for you. But don't worry we can buy new one."

      Gauri suggested but Annika refused.

"I want my kangan only."

      Annika said and Megha asked Gauri to stop suggesting her. But Gauri didn't listen.

"Di don't worry I will go and ask jeweller to make same to same bangle. See one is with you already. So it's very easy to get new one same as that lost bangle."

      Gauri suggested and Annika cried more.

"Gauri you just keep quite."

      Megha asked Gauri to don't talk anything now. And once again made Annika sit on the bed and gave her some water. But Annika refused to have it. Gauri went to them and forcefully made her drink little bit water. She then wiped Annika's tears.

"I am sorry Di. But you don't worry now we will search your kangan only."

      Gauri said sitting beside Annika. Annika was still crying silently.

"But why that kangan is so important for you Di?"

      Gauri asked as she was so confused about Annika's behavior. She was seeing her like this for the first time.

"Gauri....."

      Megha again scolded Gauri. But Annika spoke,

"That kangan is really very important to me. Sabse jyada important hai."

      Annika said looking at the other one which was in her hand.

"Ok, now I will not ask anything. But stop crying and rest for sometime."

      Gauri said wiping Annika's tears. Megha also sat on the bed and asked Annika to sleep on her lap. Annika placed her head on Megha's lap and closed her eyes. Megha started caressing her hairs. Gauri was just looking at them confused plus worried.

      Sometime passed like this. Annika opened her eyes when she heard her phone ringtone. Gauri went to take her phone from side table.

"It's from life care hospital."

      Gauri said coming to Annika. Annika immediately got up from Megha's lap and taking phone from Gauri she received the call.

"Hello...yes speaking...ohh... ok...fine I am coming...in 30 minutes??(she said looking at the clock)....no no I will come in my car....yeah I will be there on time....."

      She said on phone and cuts the call. She jumped down from the bed.

"Where?"

      Megha asked her. Annika went to the clothes which were on the floor and picked up some random dress.

"There is one immergency case Chachi and no any doctor is available so they asked me to come. So I have to go."

      Annika said moving towards the washroom but Gauri stopped her.

"Di, you are not well and you need rest. So why....."

     Annika cutted her off in between.

"That patient's life is more important than me and my rest Gauri."

      She said with a small smile and went to washroom. She came back after exact two minutes.

"Ok Chachi. I am going. You don't worry about me. I will come once my work is over. So you sleep. And I am taking driver with me,so don't need to worry. Bye Gauri."

      She said in one go and then ran out of the room. Gauri and Megha just smiled.

"Just 2 minutes back she was so shattered and was crying and now look at her. All fresh and smiling happily."

      Gauri said and Megha smiled.

"That's why she is the best heart surgeon. Her patients are very important for her. And she very well knows how to keep difference between professional and personal life. "

Ok, so you are surprised (or shocked) to see this side of Annika??

Why she is behaving like this?

Any guesses??
