Anika Pov

As we reach the main point I looked the beauty of nature it's so peaceful here. Whole place is surrounded by mountains and slowly sunrays are spreading giving the scenic view.
Watching sky is something which give me inner peace whenever I feel low or i am upset I always sit in my balcony looking at the sky.

" What are you looking at so intently. "
Shivaay asked.

" You ever sit under the sky  doing nothing just looking at sky."

" No  "

"Then you should try it this will give peace. Whenever I feel low, upset  or don't wanna do anything I always sit under the sky it's give inner peace.
What did you do when you are upset."

" Me I like to sit near the water. It give calmness and peace. "

" Any specific reason " I asked.

" Water is transparent, it will show you everything. Whatever going on in your mind or in you it will show you the real you. Flowing water always  courage us to move on in life. It gives me the much needed calmness and peace as you find by looking at the sky. "  His voice itself showing the depth of his words I never thought about this in this way.

Today when I don't find Shivaay around  I freaked out seeing the dogs. I seriously had very bad past with them. I don't like  dogs not at all.  Then they started coming behind as I am their food.But there was no one from whom I could take help. I started walking as fast as I can. Even I don't know in which direction I moving. But when I listened Shivaay voice I couldn't control  myself nothing comes in my mind. I just run towards him and hugged him.

I feel safe and protected in his arms.
I felt a sense of affinity. I feel so good in his embrace other than papa and Rudra . Shivaay is one who make  me feel like this and much more than that.
When I realised I hugged I don't know how he will react I started to fighting in order to not face him.
I am glad he didn't say anything about that.

Then being a little clumsy I am ready to break my leg but again Shivaay saved me. The care and concern visible on his face.  Why this man is liked this by a single look he always get to  know what is going on in my mind or any other family member. I had seen in this one and half day he know everyone so well that he knows what is going on in others mind.

We sit their in silence lost in our thoughts. I saw Shivaay looking around the people's who are busy in their world laughing enjoying some are capturing the view in their phone.

Soon priyanka ranveer ,  om gauri join us.

" See Om because of you we lost "
Gauri said.

" You are the one who is taking break every 5 min . "Om said.

" Where is Manav and Rudra they are not taking to much of time " om said.

" I know why are they late " Shivaay said.

" Let them come we will take pictures " priyanka said dragging everyone. Soon Manav and Rudra join us.

I saw Manav is saying something to Shivaay  in his ear to which Shivaay hit him.  I go towards Rudra .

" Why did you guys came late "

" Di we have taken the wrong route. " One girl  come towards Manav she is talking something to him when Shivaay goes towards him.

" Manav what are doing here your wife is calling me again and again talk to her " to which Manav get shocked.

" Wife you have wife then why you lied. You know what you are sick " saying girl left from their.  And the look on Manav face.

We all burst out laughing.

" Shivaay why did you lie. I kept trying all the way to get her number. "

" I know you that's why you took so long to come but you deserve it .Tit for tat Manav." Shivaay said smirking looking at him.

"I will see you man " saying Manav left to other side. And here our stomach hurt by laughing. This two and their banter. I am missing Bhavya here.

Shivaay left behind him.

" What's for we  are  waiting let's take pictures. "  Priyanka dragged all of us.  I take pictures  with everyone and clicked some goods pictures of gauri om they are very cute. I always want  to see them like this.

" Bhaiya where are you we are waiting for you  now come i will take some good pictures. "  priyanka said.

" Your obsession of photos are increasing day by day " he came stand beside me to priyanka smile sheepishly.

She take some pictures.We decided to spend some time their.

"Anika you have water bottle give me"

" Yeah wait a min " I take out the bottle and give him.

I saw him deep in thoughts looking towards Omkara and Gauri.

" Why are you looking them like this "
I asked him.

" I am happy seeing them  enjoying like this.They do not get time, together as both remain  always busy in work and if  they get it will go in take care of Ishaan. They have come  this far  facing every struggle."

I looked towards them they were hugging eachother side ways laughing and enjoying indeed they are perfect for eachother. They have love marriage as gauri told me I don't know the whole story but I am eager much to know.

As we are going back  Manav mood is not good. I go towards him.

" What happened " I asked him.

"All because of your husband with so much difficulty I convinced that girl and he spoiled everything. "

" Can I say something if you don't feel bad " I asked him.

" Bhabhi why are you saying like this you can say anything you know "

" The girl who will be in your destiny she will come to you by herself  you do not need to do all this. I am sure the girl going to be very lucky to have you " I said. He is joking around make others happy he annoy others little mischievous also but he has very good heart.

" And why do you think like this "

" Because I know now smile this doesn't suit you  "  to which smile genuinely.

I get back to Gauri and priyanka where priyanka is telling about his and Ranveer story.

We came back around lunch time all were very hungry as we didn't have breakfast. After taking shower we came downstairs . All were having lunch when pinky mom said.

" Shivaay Anika tomorrow we all are visiting mata temple we kept a small pooja you both will sit. "

" Okk mom " I said. At starting I felt weird saying mom but now it become habit.  We were engrossed in talking when  Shivaay phone ping. After seeing his phone suddenly he stand.

" I am done " saying he left the food. His whole plate remain as it is. He barely eat anything.

" Again he left the food. This office people never let him eat in peace. "
Pinky mom said.

" He leave in anger. Don't know who is going to face his worth today " Manav said. Now only he is sitting here normally what happened that he leave like this.

"Bhabhi let him alone for sometime when  his anger subsides he will come" gauri said.

We all finished our lunch.  It's been hours I last saw him. His room door is closed. And according to everyone he didn't like anyone to interfere when he is angry or busy in work.

We roam around the town. Om goes to call him but he said he is busy in work. First who the hell do work in vacations well your soon to be husband mocked by mind.

We came around the dinner time. Elders already eat out and I eat snacks in evening or we can say gauri and Priyanka force me so I am not feeling like eating.

As everyone is tried all go back to room. I am in kitchen taking the water when pinky mom came.

" Anika  you have your dinner or not "

" I am not feeling like eating "

" What will i do of you. I already have one  now   don't become like Shivaay " she said.

" That son of mine didn't came out from his room sitting their doing god knows what without eating anything . I am so tried of him " she complained .

" He didn't eat anything " I asked.

"No so now take both of your food in his room and have dinner. Dare you both sleep without eating. "  she said leaving the kitchen.

There is limit of carelessness . He didn't eat from morning. What is so important that he forgot to eat. I take his plate to his room. As I am near his room I heard sound of something breaking. It's came from his room only.

I knock the door. But he didn't open.

" Whoever it is leave. I am busy " came his voice.

I again knocked.

" I said leave. " Came his voice this time louder. What's with him today.

I again knocked.  And this time he open the door. Though he didn't open fully. Hair messy eyes were red and he is looking angry.

" Anika what are you doing here "

"Here I bring food for you if you are done with your important work have it " I said showing him the tray.

" I am not hungry " he said.

" You are hungry or not you have to finish this now open the door. "
Before he can do anything I came inside.

And guess what the condition of room vase were broken pillow were on floor. Phone is broken in pieces. Four five cups of coffee. Is he do work like this.

" Is this was your work "  I said keeping the tray at the side table and turn towards him. And I saw blood on floor it's coming from his hand which he keep behind his back.  And he is standing their unaffected looking everywhere but not me.

I go and stand infront of him and take his hand.

"Shivaay your hand where is first aid box"  I asked him looking for first aid box.

" Anika it's just a small cut " and I glare him. Small cut it's bleeding.

" Where is first aid box shivaay " I again asked.

" In cupboard " he said.

I take out box. Made him sit on bed and myself on knees. I clean wound and bandaged it. And he even not  flinched. And i can feel  his gaze on me.

" Why did you do this"  I asked him.

He didn't say anything. I always had heard about his anger and even saw today. How badly he hurt himself.

" What is bothering you ?? " I asked.

"Nothing business related issue " he lied. It's not business related I can bet. His eyes were saying something else.

"No you are lying Shivaay.Their is something else that's bothering you it's okay if you don't want to tell. But what you did today is not right. I said you this thing many time but this is last time I am saying stop hurting yourself. You feel happy by hurting yourself "

"I know this but I just can't control myself. And that's me Anika " he said standing but I pull him back.

" When you have control over everything why can't you control your anger. What did you get by hurting  yourself like this.When ever you get angry next time, then close your eyes, remember the thing that makes you happy  and your anger will go away like this. And if you  have so much blood in you from next donate it not waste like this " I said and he is looking at me.

" What I am saying the truth try it by yourself "

" Who told you this ?? " He asked.

" It discover by me as everyone has their own way I have mine. But why this many medicines " I asked him seeing the box it's full of medicine.

" All are mine I always carry them for precautions "

" All are yours " I asked him looking shocked.  He nodded his head.

"The food must have become cold, I will bring after heating it." I stand to leave but he stopped me.

" Did you eat ?? " He asked.

" No I will have later " I said.

"What you didn't have dinner yet it's late bring your food " he said.

"See who is saying the one who himself forgot to eat " I said with full of sarcasm.

I take the food and came downstairs.  to heat the food and with two plates I came back. Whole mess is cleaned.
I looked for him but he is not present maybe in washroom.

I set the table until he came I kept the salt also. He came back after 5 mins.

" Why you didn't eat till now " he said taking the seat opposite to mine.

" I had snacks at evening so not feeling hungry "

Here I passed his plate with salt. To which he is quite surprise.

" You remembered " pointing towards the salt.

" And why I will not. Now have."

And I remember the most important thing that I forgot to tell him.

" I am thinking to resign ." he stop eating.

"Wait why do you leaving your job suddenly ??"

" No I thought about this. Barely 4 months left for marriage I want to spend time with maa and papa. Because of job I didn't get time. And I have to help them . Both were taking so much stress. "

First school,then college then job making me busy. I didn't able to spend time with family. Though we lived together but one tension or the other. And only 4 months remaining for marriage then I have to move to Mumbai. So I want to spend my whole time with family. Maa and papa both were stressing with  the wedding preparations when I say not to take stress they say you will never understand the feeling until and unless you yourself become parents.

"Well it's your call. I don't have problem with anything .What uncle and aunty said "

" I didn't told them. After they came back I will talk to them. "

We finished our dinner.

" Anika can  you give your phone. I have to make a call "  shivaay asked hesitantly.

" Can you tell me one thing I am very curious to know "

" What "

" How many phones you break."

" I don't know ask Khanna he know because he always carry extra "

I give him my phone. He called Khanna to ask whether he kept extra phone or not.  He phone his small bag which is full of files.

" Which section Khanna why can't you do one thing properly "

Atlast he take out two box of phones.
I looked him in disbelief. I am  using this phone for three years. Here he break god knows how many phones in month.

" Here thank you " I take my  phone.

" You are planning to work again "

" Yeah I have some work left "

" Then I am taking your laptop with me like Om does . You seriously over work. "

" Heyy i am not giving my laptop to you "

"Who is asking you. I am telling you. So don't work till late.  Good night "

" Good night "

Taking the plates and cups I came out from his room.
