Anika Pov

Next morning, my sleep disturbed by sunrays. I rubbed my eyes and set I am feeling better now. With this last night events comes across in my mind. First time ever I shared my feelings that were buried inside  my heart from so long.

I  even didn't cried infront of anyone. But yesterday I can't control myself.
I heard what Tia said and honestly I didn't feel bad. I am so used to listen so many things. But what hurt me was someone laying finger on Shivaay or saying something to him or he  became embarassed because of me.

From starting I know their is so much difference between me and Shivaay, our lifestyle ,our way of living everything. All those feelings which I always tried to hide but yesterday emotions  overpowered me.

I lied to pinky mom. I was sitting at the corner near the bad looking outside  crying because how much I tried it hurts. My headache increased last thing I remembered then  everything blackout.

And that  dream which was horrible. Everyone is making fun of Shivaay because of me. I set up with Jerk. And seeing Shivaay infront I just couldn't control myself I cried my heart out. Because I always feel so protected in his embrace the feeling there is someone who was there for you. The warmth which for I had craved.

From starting I can't able to control myself in front of him. When I realised i loosened my hold . Even I didn't looked at him . I don't how I am going to face him . I am expecting the series of questions but to my surprise he ask me to have dinner. When he left I composed my self I can't become weak like this. My eyes fall on time it's already late what Shivaay is doing in my room at this time. I looked at the side table where bowl is  kept with filled water and cloth. And medicine beside means he is here taking care of me.

Why Shivaay you are like this. Sometime I felt I don't deserve you. You deserved the best as you are. I was so lost in thoughts I didn't realise when he came back until he forward spoon infront of me.  I didn't have appetite but he himself make me eat his hands. Like dad used to do in childhood whenever I fall sick. I eat without saying anything.

I told him whatever is going on my mind. All my insecurities. He understands me the way no one.
And more than me. I can't even tell in words the feeling that I am feeling. After listening to his words I wondered what I have done to get this man in my life. Gauri is right he is gem. He is going I realised he is here means he didn't have his dinner as pinky mom informed me that he was busy in his work. And here sitting without eating.

I pulled him back. And he smoothly lied on my face. What is going to happen with this man. After blackmailing he left I kept looking at his recreating features with a smile.

He had  said that he is not expressive what today he expressed his feelings. He also feel the same I feel for him. And I don't think we need words to tell eachother. I had seen in his the care and concern for me. His eyes were enough to tell his emotions.

I get up and get ready and thought to check on Rudra. I think he came back. As I am going  I crossed Shivaay room. It was closed maybe he is sleeping because of me he slept late. I want to check on him but decide opposite and make my way towards rudra room.

" Rudra "

I knocked the door. But didn't get response this boy seriously.

I knocked hard. Wait I remembered very well I locked the door yesterday then how Shivaay come in my room.
And finally Rudra open the door. He is sleeping as predicted.

" You are sleeping till now Rudra " I said coming inside.

" I slept late in night and came back early so I sleepy." He again lay down on bed.

" Di why your eyes were red. What happened to you."

" Nothing to worry Rudra. It's Just soap was gone on eyes."

"Maa called me yesterday saying you are not picking her call "  he said.

" My phone was not with me I will talk to her later. "

" Even Bhavya messaged me " he stopped inbetween.

" Why Bhavya messaged you " I said raising eyebrows.

" You are not replying her messages and didn't receiving her calls . So she said me to inform you. Why are you giving me this look"

" Nothing " I shrugged as I has doubt on both of them.

" Now don't sleep get ready and come " I said keeping his clothes.

" Let me sleep for sometime. "

" No go have shower rudra "

" Fine " he said grumpily and walked out.

I came back to my room as no-one is still up. I thought to talk with Bhavya. Or she will eat me raw. I called her once she didn't pickup. I again tried but same result. I last time tried she finally picked up.

" Why are you calling me. I am busy "
She literally shouted man she is angry.

" Bhavya stop shouting I know you are not busy "

" Yes I am not but you are that you forgot about me . I called you so many messaged you but what did you did. "

" Bhavya I slept early yesterday and I didn't check my phone "

" Why ??"

" I am not feeling well that's why now tell me why you so desperately want to talk me "

" Before marriage you behaving like this what will happen after marriage " Bhavya being Bhavya can't stop her drama.

" Bhavya we can talk as much you want when I will return to Delhi "

" Anyway I called you to inform that your resignation letter is accepted now you have to serve for notice period. "

" That's a good news. I will check the mail. "

"It is important for you to resign. I am gonna miss you"

" You know Bhavya it is. And I am just call away Bhavya "

" Ohkk I have to get ready. Talk to you later. Byy  "

" Byy "

I cut the call. And move towards the balcony.  Today I am feeling happy it's like some weight is off from my shoulder. Fresh air and with morning sun. Then my eyes fall on garden or someone particular jogging in garden.
Automatically smile formed on lips. Who can I forgot Shivaay and rest not possible. My feelings for him is increasing day by day as I am getting to know him.

I don't know about his feelings. But there is something which is constantly attracting me towards him.
Whenever we were  close there is something is I felt that I never. My breathing become uneven. I always lose all my senses.  Only 3-4 days are remaining then again back to Delhi. In these I want to spend mine time with Shivaay. And this thought of going away is not settling good with me.
And before going back I want to do something for him and that I have to figure out.

After sometime I came downstairs with Rudra. Only to find others discussing about something.

" What happened I asked " coming towards them.

" Bhabhi today weather is not good so we are thinking to play games today and at night we are having born fire in garden. " Gauri inform me.

" You children's play we will see who is doing cheating " pinky mom said.

" No everyone is going to play . " Priyanka said .

" But priyanka " Jhanvi aunty said.

" Badi maa please we want you all to play with us " I said.

" Now bhabhi also said for her please " gauri said.

" Fine because it's first time Anika asked something " pinky mom said.

" So after breakfast we will start and their going to be two teams " Manav said.

" Wait let Shivaay bhaiya also come then we will divide teams "  ranveer said.

" Where is he ?? "  Manav said.

" Wait I will call Jiju " rudra said going towards his room.

After sometime we settle on dining table for breakfast and Shivaay , Rudra also come. I know he is looking at me but I did dare look towards his side now don't ask me the reason stupid me.

" So we will divide the team now "

" Team what you guys planned now " Shivaay asked.

" We are going to play today so just to do we say " Manav said.

" This stupid idea is of yours " Shivaay asked.

" Pinky aunty why this guy always like this "

" Even I don't know Manav . God's know how he became my son " and everyone start laughing listening her.

" Mom "

" What mom  "

" So teams we can do girls vs boys what's say " Gauri said.

" But their is problem bhabhi they have extra member " priyanka said.

" No worries I am going to be in girls team " Manav said.

"Now you yourself changed your side"

" Because I know you guys are going to be lose so I am going to be in my sister's team " doing hifi with priyanka.

" Confidence is good but over confidence is not " om said.

" That we will see Om " said Gauri challenging him.

After having breakfast we came at garden. First we are going to do hand wrestling. Elders are not playing this game.

First it's priyanka vs ranveer . In which priyanka won. Then it's rudra between Manav in which Rudra won. Then Om vs Gauri  in which Om won.
Now everything depends on me.

" Bhabhi you have to win this. We can't lose like this. " Manav said.

" You are forgetting noone can beat Shivaay in hand wrestling Manav " om said grinning.

" Bhabhi will win this "

I sat opposite to him.

" All the best to lose " Shivaay said.

" That we will see " now I have to win by hook or crook.

We started and he is clearly to win but I can't lose like this.

" Bhabhi bhabhi you can do it " girls  is cheering for me and  boys for Shivaay . Here  I am struggling and he is sitting there unaffected.  And an I idea pop up in my mind.  Shivaay looked towards me and I wink.  And in a split second his hold lose because of shock. His jaw dropped. And I win.

" Winner " I declared standing. It take a minute for him to release what had happened.

" Bhabhi you win " gauri come and hugged me.

" Wait you cheated . You are cheater " he said standing.

" What cheating. You clearly lose " I said innocently.

" Yeah bhaiya tell what bhabhi did you lose that's why you are doing this "  priyanka said.

" I can't believe Shivaay lose " Om Said exclaiming.

" She did cheating "

" Shivaay stop behaving like a kid . My daughter-in -law clearly win " pinky mom said taking my side.

" Now we play other this game is tie."
Gauri announced. Ishaan has nothing to do he is just cheering   anything running here and there.

" You did cheating." came voice from behind shattering me.

" Why are you scaring me " I said keeping hand on chest. He came and stand beside me looking towards the elders who are doing some kind of race.

" You lose the game why can't you believe." I said looking everywhere not at him.

"You know the reason "

" Whatever which help you to sleep "

" That you will know in some time " 

With that he left from their. After that we decided to play rope pulling. Here teams again changed.
