Anika Pov

As we came back Manav who was sitting in living room stop us.

" Ohh you guys went on a date. " teasingly to which shivaay roll his eyes.

" You don't have any other thing to do rather than keeping eyes on others."

" Oh I understand that's by you were in so much hurry. You should had told me." 

" And why I have to " I looked towards Shivaay horrified. We didn't went to date and why the hell he is saying if gauri got to know she will tease me to no end.

"Progress I see it's good. "

" Idiot " shivaay muttered shaking his head in disbelief leave to his room.

Manav looked towards me with raised brows.

"  You feel happy to make him irritate don't you." I asked.

" Very much " he said controlling his laugh.

Later in evening me and gauri are sitting up the dinner in garden area as per everyone wish.

Boys were signalling us to join with fire raging behind them brightly.

Soon we all settle around the born fire under the blankets that we kept because it's cold outside. Having dinner chit chatting pulling eachother legs.

" So what we should just sit around this fire and leave after extinguish??"
Om questioned sarcastically.

" I am not that bad. We are planning to play game to celebrate this wonderful time we get. "

" What game ??" Gauri asked coming and set on a ground between me and Om.

" It's game for couples we will ask the question that you have to answer and so that we know how much you guys know eachother. "

Start with gauri and Om. 
Now it's turn of newly couple.
I take the marker and cards.

" So first question "

" Shivaay Jiju favourite thing that he love to do in free time." Rudra asked it's easy. I wrote the answer.
I showed and looked towards Shivaay.

" Ohh anyone who knows shivaay know his love to do only one thing which is his work." Manav said. I chuckled.

" Now question for Shivaay bhaiya" priyanka said.

" With what name bhabhi saved your number in her mobile. " And I frowned I don't want him or anyone to know that.

" Mr. Sso " priyanka said. And my eyes immediately landed on Shivaay card which he is showing proudly.
How he get to know. And I looked towards everyone who is looking at us with teasing smile. I am gone now.

" Bhabhi Mr. Sso not bad " Gauri said god by me.

" Gauri why this question is only for me " I said why I became the target of their teasing. And Shivaay face smile dropped who is silently enjoying.

" So next question is for  bhabhi your name in bhaiya phone "

" You guys only said that question are not going to repeat then you are breaking the rule " shivaay interrupted immediately.

" Bhaiya .." gauri said.

" Rules are rules Gauri. If guys are breaking I am not playing " he said standing nice way to escape.

"Ohk we are changing the question now sit and play " Manav said.

" So bhabhi what do you like the most about bhaiya?" Ranveer asked.

" The way he loves family. " I never seen anyone who love his family like this not even me. He forgets everything about himself also when it comes to family. He can do anything and make others to do for family. Family is everything from him.

I can feel Shivaay gaze on me but I didn't look towards him.

" Now next question is for bhaiya"

" So tell us the best gift bhabhi had given to you " om asked. And realisation dawn upon me. I didn't give him a single gift . And here every time he make sure to give me something. And the one I brought from him i didn't give him yet.

" Her trust is the best gift that she has given to me " came shivaay answer shocking me to the core. I looked towards him who is already looking at me with a smile on face. And at that moment I fall out of words. I never had seen such person.
Here I am thinking about the materialistic thing . What good I had done that I got him in my life.

" Aww so sweet bhaiya bhabhi " gauri said breaking my thoughts.

" You guys are definitely something " Manav said.

"Now so it's turn for priyanka and Ranveer." All were engrossed again but that line is keep ringing in my mind "Her trust is the best gift for me"
When ever I thought I understand Shivaay he do something that took me in surprise and yet again I come back to square one that I don't know him.
How many shades you have Shivaay.
I don't know you feel like me or not.

Manav put on soft music. And it feel so good. Manav take Gauri for dancing. Rudra come to me.

" Di come lets dance "

" Rudra no please "

" Di don't be spoil brat. When we get this chance again. " Signing I take his hand.

Priyanka drag shivaay with her much to his dismay.

And Ranveer don't having any option start dancing with om. And it's so much fun I tell you. Then we exchange as they also want to dance with girls.

Next I danced with ranveer, then Manav and he is so happy. Cracking jokes making all of us laugh. Then he twirl me and I about to loose the balance but before two hands save me before touching the ground like always.

And my breath hitched as I looked upwards to find him standing so close to me looking at me certain emotions that I unable to read. My hands on his shoulder and his on my waist. The moment his colonge enter my nostrils with him so close to me. Everything around us seemed to vanished, everything disappeared. I cloud feel nothing, hear nothing other than him to close to me and the slow music entering my ears.  And only he make me feel like this. I lost my all senses whenever he is so close to me.

" Always ready to fall " shivaay said.

"And I know you will not let me fall "
I said with a small smile on my face. I know how I am controlling my racing heart.

" Well I didn't knew you dance also."

" You surely underestimate me don't you. " narrowing his eyebrows.

Shivaay take one hand of mine in his . We started moving slowly with the beat. I looked  around now Gauri is dancing with om, priyanka and Ranveer , Manav and Rudra were nowhere to be seen. They were lost in their own world only.

" I am sorry I didn't have given you anything " I said in a low voice. I am really feeling guilty.

" And who said that as I said you had trusted me enough to share everything isn't that is the best gift. And if you are talking about any materialistic then that doesn't matter to me. I got what I want " and my heart skip a beat looking him smiling can't he stop being so good.

" Why are you like this "

" Like this " he asked with raised brows.

" Being so good "

" Oh I am taking as it's complement I am glad to know " he also teasing me.

" And how you get to know about your name in my mobile "

" About that you had given me your mobile in my room that night when I broke mine. That time I saw in your contact list. " Great Anika you didn't realise this.

" But Mr. Oberoi you have to change mine in your mobile from Mrs. Oberoi to soon to be Mrs.Oberoi. " and he jaw dropped after listening.

" How you get to know ??? I didn't give my phone to you and nobody knows about this ??"

" That I know long time ago. And I have my sources Mr. Oberoi "

" You are spying on me " he said with raised brows. And I laughed listening him.

" And why I will do that. Also who dare to spy on Shivaay Singh Oberoi. " He twirl me now my back is facing him.His hands were above mine. I can feel  his breath near my neck surely I am going to faint.

" Don't you having so much fun Ms. Trivedi " he said in a husky voice which sending shriver all over my body. Before I can say anything he twirl me again.

" Someone is blushing "

" Highly mistaken Mr. Oberoi" I said I know he is saying truth.

" Whatever helps you to sleep "

" Shivaay " Manav said in a loud voice. He is coming towards our direction walking fast. I stand aside. Thanks for saving me Manav.
He come and hugged Shivaay tightly.
Rudra also came with a smile in his face.

" Congratulations Shivaay " he said.
We are looking eachother clueless.

" Manav let me breath " shivaay said. To which he broke the hug and stand grinning.

" Manav bhaiyaa what happened "
Gauri asked.

" Shivaay won the best businesses man of the year "

" Seriously " Om asked. When he nodded again. Om hugged Shivaay congratulating him.

" So proud of Shivaay you deserved this. " But unlike others shivaay looking all others with a smile.
We are so proud of him. Like Om said he deserved this day night he is working so hard. I am so happy for him.

" Congratulations " I said after everyone congrats him.

" This call for a celebration " Rudra said.

" What's the need of this it's just a award " shivaay said.

" Totally agree with you Rudra and Shivaay this is not a small thing." Om said.

" Give me two minutes. I am coming back " Manav Said and disappeared inside. After 10 minutes he come back with a guitar in his hand.

" What better way to celebrate by listening song played by Shivaay " he said forwarding guitar towards Shivaay. And he is looking at him shocked . His face became pale.
That day also he is very uncomfortable when we got to know.

" Oh yeah we never listened bhaiya please. " Priyanka said

" No I am not doing. It's been years I played this. "

" Shivaay you never told us. Atleast now you can play we want to listen" om said.

" Om it was something I used to do in school time when I was free. "

" Shivaay please " Manav said.

"Bhabhi you tell bhaiya to play only once" Gauri said at last looking towards me. I looked towards Shivaay he is looking at the other side. He is hiding something which he is not comfortable to share. How can I say.

" Bale papa " came voice from behind.

We look towards to find Ishaan is coming towards us running.

" What are doing here Ishaan you were sleeping right. " Gauri asked as he came.

" I am not sleepy. " He said moving towards me.

" Balii maa " he said extending his arms towards me. I take him as now my hand is not paining.

" Bale papa is playing this like in tv hero do " he asked looking towards everyone and pointing his finger towards guiter in Manav hand.
To which Manav nodded his head.

" But your bale Papa is not listening us. You told him to play " Manav said earning a glare from shivaay.

" It's already late we should sleep let's go and Ishaan it's cold here why you came. " Shivaay said.

" No bale papa play please " he said looking innocently towards him. As he never say no any of his wishes.

" See now he is also saying shivaay one time " Om Said.

" Shivaay please one time for him " this time I said softly looking towards him. Manav take his hand and placed
in Shivaay hand.

" Only for Ishaan. " Shivaay said.

Ishaan Start clapping his hand. Everyone becomes so excited they all take their seats again. I sat beside Shivaay and Ishaan sat on my lap . I covered him properly with shawl.

As Shivaay start to play I recognise the tune. Lag ja gale. And truth to be told I had goosebumps on my hands. He played with a perfection only not me all other were also shocked listening as first we never know that shivaay play guitar and second this was so good. After he complete everyone clap for him. Ishaan he is so happy he didn't understand anything but he is happy as his bade papa playing guitar.

" Bhaiya you played so good why you didn't tell us " priyanka complained.

" Yes shivaay" om also agreed with priyanka.

" As I said before in school time.I think it's already very late. Tomorrow is Rakhi we should sleep " he said standing and left.

" It was dadi favourite song. " Om said with a sad smile.

After nobody said anything and left to their respective room. Except me and Manav.

Manav keep looking at guitar in his hand with a sad smile lost in his thought.

" Manav what happened " I said gaining his attention.

" Uh nothing it's just after so many years I saw Shivaay playing guitar.  I remembered he used to play in free time when all students goes to play. He used to find the residual place and played guitar. Even I don't know he know how to play. One day I decided to follow him to know we're he used to go then I got to know about his hidden talent that he always try to hide. I asked  him to tell everyone but   he made me promise to never told this thing to anyone. And whenever I asked him the reasons he always made some excuses or left like this.
I know I should not broke the promise or force him to play. But I want to others to know about this.  I want him to do things that he liked which give him happiness but I think I shouldn't had done this." he said in a guilty voice.

" You don't have to feel guilty Manav. You did this with good intentions right. You know your friend better than me. If he got to know about you. He will blame himself don't he . "  he nodded his head.

" Because he is idiot but he is the best friend one would ever ask "  he said chuckling.

" Now go and sleep. Good night " 

" Good night bhabhi "

Saying he left and I also came in my room. I thought to go shivaay room. But might he need some time alone.  I don't wanna force him.
