Anika pov

After tring day i came back home.

" Anika what happened why are you looking so tried."

" Maa new project is going on we have lot of work to do "

"Ohkk . Go and take some rest "

After changing clothes. I laid on bed my head is aching i need nap. I don't know when i fall asleep.

My sleep disturb by continuous ringing of my phone. I so wanted to throw the phone. But i controlled myself. Without seeing the caller ID i pick up the call.

" I will kill you Bhavya if you called me for some stupid reason " i yell at her. As she is the one who called anytime.

"I don't want to die so soon" came manly voice. Wait from when Bhavya voice change. I see the caller ID it's show Mr. Sso. I jerk up. All my sleep flew away. Great way to embarrass your self.

" Hello Anika are you their "

"Yeah sorry i didn't see the caller id.
I thought it was Bhavya "

"Are you sleeping "

"No means i just woke up "

"Sorry i didn't know i will call later "

" It's ohk i just came tried and slept "

I see the it's past half 9 already.

" You had your dinner "

" No i am in office right now "

" Office at this time "

Is he always stay in office.

"Yes new project is going on. Anyway i called you as today pandit jii came home according to him there are two dates one is after 15 days and other one is after 9 months. Which one suits you"

" What 15 days " no i am not ready for this.I need time. It's so fast. It's not easy for me to leave my family.

"Anika you don't have to take tension"

"According to you which one ??"

"According to me the second one after 9 months. I know it's difficult for you to. Moreover i am not ready for this at this time. It's hardly four days that i know you. We both need time. Atlast whatever you decide their is no pressure. You take your time i will call you after sometime and have your dinner. Byy ". I sighed in relief after listening this.

The call disconnected. How he always get to know what is going in my mind. It's hardly 4 days he know me. Sighing i kept my phone on charging. After washing the face i came downstairs. Maa and papa are watching tv. And Rudra is doing something in his phone.

"Anika you came wait i will heat the food."

" Maa i will do it "

After reheating i came with plate and sit beside papa.

"Anika Shakti called me today regarding the wedding dates. "

" I know papa"

"Ohh how would you know we didn't tell you " rudra asked with mischievous smile.

"That.." why  i am stammering.

" That jiju tell you. Oh my god di we thought you were sleeping but you are busy in talking with jiju "

" I was sleeping rudra don't assume thinks "

I see maa and papa are grinning like a teenagers having fun. Rudra wait for you turn then i will see.

" Rudra shut your mouth if you don't want me to say something that you surely don't want maa and papa to know."

To which  he frown. Glaring me. Serve him better. Their are so many secrets that i know about him. And he surely don't want papa and maa to know.

" So what did  you decide " maa asked.

" Maa second one and it's not possible in 15 days. And i need time. Already it's happen all of sudden now in 15 days no maa."

"Anika i understand but you have to get married one day so why not  "

"Maa i know but i need to prepare mentally myself for that. Moreover we both need time."

"Asha she is right. It's her and Shivaay decision. If they get ready it's not possible for us to do  preparation in just 15 days. "

" Yes you are saying right"

" But maa let her go and we will live in piece. "

I throw pillow at him. Everyone start laughing at him.

" Rudra atleast let her eat. "

After having dinner i came back to my room. It's not easy for a girl to leave everything behind and enter to new phase. One day or other i have to enter into crucial stage of  life were everything is going to change from my surname to the city where i am living, my job ,my lifestyle everything. But for that i need time to prepare myself.

Moreover i wanted to know about Shivaay in and out like no one has manage to know.We are at very initial stage of our relationship. And relationships are like flowers. We have to take care of them. Similarly every relation take time to grow. Their are so much to know about each other. New life , new family, new people. This feelings is very new. I am excited for my future but at same time i am sacred it's so confusing.

I take my phone. Their is one missed call from Shivaay. I see the time it's 11 pm. It's late maybe he is sleeping.
And i got to know from Gauri that he is completely work holic. When it's come to work he forgets everything.

I open my whatsapp to find message from Shivaay.

"Call me when you are free"

Timing was 10:50. Should i call him or not. It's better i message him .

" Are you free now "

I waited for 5 min but he didn't see it. Maybe he is busy. Now what can i do. I am not sleepy. It's better to read the book.

After 10 min my phone start ringing. It's from Shivaay.

"Hello "

"Hey "

"So what did you decide. "

" The second one and maa papa is also
considering the same."

"  Great now mom have to listen as it's your decision also "

"Means "

"Mom is hell bent to make me agree for first date. If it's in her hand she get  us get married tomorrow . And she is not ready to listen me. And she said if you don't have problem with first date no chance she will listen me."

" Same with maa also. So what are you doing "

" Just putting Ishaan to sleep. He like your gift so much that he is not ready to leave all time giggling and jumping showing everyone. Also it's a first thing he is playing for so long without breaking it."

"Ishaan is with you "

"Yeah Om and gauri has to attend some party so he was with mom dad. As i came he start crying that he want to sleep with me"

"He is so cute "

"Bale papa bale papa " it's Ishaan voice.

" Ishaan what are doing here. I ask you to sleep in room "

" Ishaan sleep no i wanna play"

"Oh god Ishaan you are playing since morning now sleep it's already late"

" Ishaan  play.."

" Shivaay can i talk to him "

" Yeah wait "

" Ishaan come here see who wants to talk you come here."

" Hello " came his childish voice.

" Hello Ishaan you remember who i am "

" Who "

" Oh that's bad you forgot me . Now when i meet you i will not give you chocolates and gifts"

" Balii maaa" he scream .

"Calm down i am your badi maa only"

" Badii maa badii maa badii maa"

" Ishaan stop jumping and screaming come in room "comes Shivaay voice from behind.

" Ishaan and badi maa will play with the toy that i gift you will with me "

" Yess "

" But if it break before we will together then "

" Ishaan will not break. Ishaan is good boy "

" Ishaan is good boy so Ishaan will listen to her badii maa "

" Yess badii maa "

" So now go and sleep. Then we will meet i will play with you "

" Promise you will play "

" Promise now like a good boy go and sleep. Good night Ishaan"

" Good night badii maa "

" What did you say to him that he directly run to bed "

" That's a secret between him and me"

" And you also sleep. Good night "

" Good night"

Saying i disconnect the call. I am happy to know that Ishaan like my gift. Moreover, i really adore Shivaay and Ishaan relationship. Anyone who see them can say. Shivaay love him a lot. Ishaan also very close to him.

I open my Instagram id and search for Shivaay Singh Oberoi.

I click on his profile. He has followers in million. And following zero.
Their are many posts each one is related to magazine shoot or business related. And in his all pictures he is looking handsome. His profile picture is same as whatsapp were is standing against the car looking towards camera one hand in pocket. And caption busy.

Their are some messages in family group. Today Gauri adds me in group.
Their are pics from engagement. Some with family. Some of us only.
This pictures are so good.

My most favourite in which Ishaan is in Shivaay arms kissing me on my cheek and shivaay is looking at us.

I set the wallpaper of Shivaay contact. Which i saved.  It's Shivaay pic with Ishaan where is showing something to him. They are looking so cute together in that pic.

After reading for an hour. I laid on bed as i have to wake up early tomorrow. And soon darkness engulfed me.

Picture at last..
