Happy reading

Shivaay shut the door and look at anika who is sitting silently besides him " putting seat belt around her pulling it with her already injured arm.

Ani. sss she hissed when her wound touched the fabric of seat belt.

Shiv. Are you ok  ??? he got panic and try to  touch her but she didn't let him and pulled her arm away.

Ani. I'm fine.  Don't need to worry about ... she said sternly fixing her dress sleeve so that "no one could see it.

Shiv. Erm if your parents ask you about it then what will you answer??? He stutters looking at her with question. 

Ani. I will tell them you beaten me up....

Shiv. Wait what ??, when did I do it ? He widen his eyes after hearing her.

Ani.  I'm kidding " Don't worry I won't take your name.   Infect I won't let them know about it.  That's why I've worn long sleeves dress. Though they won't bother to ask me  so no worries ...

Shiv. Why won't they ??? He frown.

Ani. Because they are not like your parents "who loves their kids. It's mine who  are not normal parents.  She said tucking her hair back of her ear.

Shiv. I really don't get you. First you say " you wanna meet them. then other side you says they don't like you. He said farrowing her brows.

Ani. So don't scroll about my life. Let it be na. Because remember one thing" as much as you will  try to get into this. it will get complicated so stay away

Shiv. Why are you being so rude ??? He huffs.

Ani. Sangat ka Asar Hai. Now shall we leave or you wanna stay here forever

Shiv. Yh going ,, he shakes his head and drove away from there.

At Anika's house

He stopped the car near the door and got down passing key to  security guard. 

Shiv. Chale. They about to go ahead" when A maid come running towards anika  and take her in bone crushing hug.

Ani.  How are you mimi ??

M. I'm fine. Just missed you so much. I'm so happy you cAme here. Since you have left ..this house had became so dull. There was no charm in there.  She said squeezing her in tight hug closing her eyes.

Ani.  I'm glad someone missed me. Otherwise  no one tried to even call me for once. if I'm alive and dead. Shivaay who are standing near them. His all attention went towards her " when she talked about death.  Indeed her family didn't care to call her.  Being brother of her " Arnav didn't Inquiry  about her. if she is ok or not.   It's felt like they just got rid of her and now don't wanna know about her existence. 

Shiv. Erm chale.  Mimi gave him glare realising his presence there. She hate this man " who dragged her like animal for marrying her.  She was so innocent and nice. and look what god did " he tied her with the beast " who didn't care about  her  life or  wish.

Ani.  Yep let's go  ... shivaay nods  removing his glasses and went ahead of her following with anika and mimi.

As they reached in the door " shivaay thought her parents will come running towards her  and will take her in bone crushing hug like the maid. but they just stood up on their seats looking at them awkwardly like they didn't expect them to be here

Ani. Maa she whispered and goes towards her with heavy steps. 

Ani. I missed you maa she said hugging her which she didn't reciprocate making  awful situation for her infront of shivaay. 

Ani. Dad she hugs him as well   Getting a little a pat on her back.

Anj.what are you doing here. Hearing her mother she part away from her dad and look at her awkwardly.

Ani.  I I cAme to meet you. She said softly.

Anj. It wasn't needed.  We didn't miss you she Twist her mouth and set on the sofa  again blowing her nail.

M.  Bhai she goes towards shivaay and hugged  him. 

Shiv. How's my princess ???he smiles caressing her head.

M. I'm really good bhai. just planning to go on honeymoon. me and Arnav decided to go for some days. 

Shiv. I'm glad he is taking care of you.

M. He is.

Shiv. He has to otherwise he knows what would I do with him. he said looking at him angrily making arnav  chuckle.

Ar. Don't worry brother in law. I'll take care of your sister properly. after all she is my love of life. He said taking his wife in side hug.

Anj. Shivay beta , why are you standing there come have seat.  Anika's mother spoke sweetly  seeing him glaring her son.

Shiv. Erm ya he nods and sat on the sofa shrugging his clothes.

Ram.  Why are you standing here Anika. Go and get tea for all of us along with snacks.  Ram the father of anika orders her earning nod from her.

Shiv. But she is ... he try to say something. But her father again interrupted making him sign.

Ram.  Anika why are you standing still. gooo ... hearing his bit over loud voice Anika flinch and left to get  tea for them. 

Anj. Shivaay does she bother you ?? No I mean she has habit to do. That's why I'm asking you. Anjali her mother ask shivaay passing him extra big smile.

Shiv.no she doesn't.

Anj. I can understand beta she is bit mad even.  we were fed up from her. But don't worry with passing times"   you will get use to it.

Shiv. Ya I will.  I guess so. he chuckle  keeping his leg on his another one.

Ram. If she do something then give us a single call. We will itseld straighten her up. As we know how  stubborn and idiotic girl she is.  He  smiles patting his thigh " making shivaay shocked with their behaviour.   As per as he know Anika was dying to meet them. She was literally crying everyday to visit her home and look at those people" It's feeling like  they are happy to get rid of her. There is no any  parents thing in them. It's feel like she is not their daughter. on the other side with his sister and their son " they are so sweet and actually being their goodparents. but for that girl "who kept ranting for them till now " they r being so weird infect giving concern to that person " who  dragged her infront of them to Marry him forcefully

Ani.   Espresso  she  passed him a big mug of coffee breaking his trance. 

Anj. I had asked you to get tea then why did you get coffee ??  Her mother said glaring her gritting her teeth.

Ani. He doesn't like tea " that's why I got him coffee.shivaay got shocked after hearing her as it's been two weeks only they are married and she got to know about his like and dislikes already. .

M. Bhai how's ridhima ?is she fine. I'm sure she would be sad after seeing her. .  Malika ask  looking at anika with pure hate making her  divert her gaze. 

Shiv. She is  stressed. but not that much. After a day she was fine. He answered taking sip of his coffee. Which he actually liked it.

Anj. where ever this girl goes spread stress only nothing more.  Anjali twist her lips keeping hand on her forehead.

Arn. Mom.  He glares her in warning.

Anj. I'm not lying. I just spilled facts. she  rolls her eyes looking at anika who is standing near shivaay

Ar. Mom please be quiet.

Anj. Yh ya I'm she scoffs.

Shiv. Anika why are you standing sit down??

Ar. No she has to go with mum as she wanna give her something.   right mom ?? he flick his eyelashes making her understand his  indicates

Anj. Yh let's go saying this she hold her hand and dragged her with her

After sometime

Anika comes out with a little bag And with pouch of Medicines and sar besides shivaay  " who is still confused with all people behaviour which is so odd and uncomfortable.

Anj. Ok shivaay beta see you later. Actually We have party to attend. So We going there

Ram. Anika take care of shivaay ha. If he needs anything then give him without any  hesitation. Got it.  Her father  speaks in order tone giving her stern look.

Anika nods getting up from her seat.

Shiv. She cAme after so many days how can they leave. He murmur seeing there retreating figure.

M.  Bhai you sit with Arnav I've some work. 

Shiv. Yh she smiles and left from there

Ani. Bhai how are you vvv

Ar. I'm fine. One second I've to attend this call.  As his phone ring " he got up and went to attend it leaving them both alone.  Seeing the situation shivaay also decided to leave as there is nothing which left to do. as all people left for their respective work without caring about their daughter " who has came to meet them.

Shiv. If you are done meeting your parents then shall we leave.  ???

Anika look at her brother in hope he will come back after cutting the call but he is still busy talking on it.

Ani.  You are right we should leave. 

Mimi. Ani. You are you are going.   mimi spoke who came to take the tea pot and cups away from there

Ani. There is none for whom I stopped ?? Her voice drop sadness while speaking.

Mimi got sad and caresses her face lovingly.

Ani. I'll definitely do.  She hugs her tightly closing her eyes letting her tears come out  

M. Take care of yourself.

Shiv. Chale. Anika nods and left behind all silent hanging her head down

In car

Shivaay exhale the breath and look at her who is fiddling the pouch which her mum gave her

Shiv. You were so excited to meet them   I thought your family would be same. but they are really an asshole yar he giggle looking at her. but she didn't answer in return  keeping her head down out of shame.

Ani. Now I would never ask you to bring me here. she spoke in low voice keeping her head down thinking about her brother and parents. They behaved so bad with her. she thought they will be happy after seeing her. but it happened opposite. Leave happy they didn't even meet her properly. One side shivaay who was showing so much love and affection to his sister infect for her" he married her. then on the other side is her brother "who didn't even attempt to stop him to marry his sister.  And today when she went "he didn't even keep hand on her head showing a little love to her. 

Shiv. Good very good Atleast now I don't need to bring you here.  Anyways tie your seat belt we are leaving Anika nods and they drove away from there in fast  speed

At home

Seeing shivaay coming  ridhima comes towards him and hold his hand having glint in her eyes.

R. Baby I was waiting for you only.

Shiv.  what happened ?? Why were you waiting for me. ??? Is everything fine.

R. Nothing  my mom dad are here. and they want us to tell them when we wanna get marry. hearing  her Anika's eyes directly landing on Shivaay's face fiddling with the bag which she got from her home. . 

Shiv. Erm ridhima I guess it's not time for all this. I mean I'm not in situation to marry you.

R. Why? why can't you marry me ha ?? when you itself had promised me for that

Shiv. Yes I did. and I'll fulfil as well. but not right now !! infect not until I don't get solution for this girl. He says pointing at anika who is feeling not very good to he around these two particular people.

R. Shivaay  I'm fed up now with all this. When you are divorcing her for god sake. ???

Shiv.  I don't know he stammers looking at anika who is already looking at him

Shivaay, ridhima why are you standing there come here. Shivaay look behind ridhima and saw her family is sitting along with his parents.

Shiv. Yes uncle. Ridhima smiles and pull him with her holding his arms leaving Anika behind.

Mr  k. That's good you cAme here " we  were talking about your both marriage only. Ridhima  father  said passing extra smile to shivaay. 

Ri. He is ready dad.  He said he can marry me whenever you want us to do. . Hearing her shivaay widen his eyes along with anika who is standing  near the door being clueless with all. . She so wanted to pull him away from that stupid ridhima and shout that he is her husband. but she can't do it.  And how would she " when he considers her nothing and  planning to leave her anytime soon

Shiv. Ridhima I ....

Mr k. That's really good then I guess we should start preparations. What's say Shakti.

Shiv. Uncle listen to me I ...

Ri. Oh baby I know you are feeling bit awkward with this sudden twist of  your life. but don't worry I'm with you and we will cope up properly I assure you. Ridhima says holding his arm tightly.

Mrs k. Ok shivaay I guess we should fix the date then

P. One second mrs kapoor.  Hold your horses 🐎 here.  I don't think so you are a child or some naive person " who don't know that shivaay is already married.

Tej.  Pinky   Can you talk politely. Tej retorted.

P. I'm talking politely  bhai sahab. 

Shiv. Mom listen.

P. You calm dow shivaay. I'm talking to them so mrs kapoor.  I don't think so your daughter can marry my son till he is married to Anika. I mean he is already married and by law " your daughter can't marry a  man who is already married.  Am I right or wrong

R. Our alliance is fixed aunty.  She  retorted.

Sha.  We know beta your Alliance is fixed   but Anika and shivaay are married.  Alliance  can be call off anytime. but not marriage. It's strong relationship which hard to finish so fast. .  You know what I mean

R.  So you mean to say that me and shivaay are finished. She rebuke glaring her.

Ru.  You can think that Lizard.  Rudra twist his mouth looking at her being annoyed.

R.  Shivaay baby why are you silent " say something please  I can't live without you. You can't finish this marriage. she cry shaking his arm ranting  like child.

D. You can get someone else   Beta " who would be more better than shivaay. Grandma suggested raising her brow in facts.

R.  This is bullshit. I won't let you finish our relation like this. He is my fiancé and I will see how you snatch  him from me. I will marry him and that's final. Shivaay speak up why are you silent.  Ridhima whined shaking him by his arm.

Shiv. She is right.  I will marry her but not now.    Atleast till I don't divorce Anika.

P. Shivaay .... She bawled.

Shiv. Mom her brother  gave me permission that I can divorce her after six months of our marriage . infect I can carry on my relationship with ridhima. He doesn't have any problem with that. Hearing him Anika's eyes got cloudy " she can't believe her brother would do such thing to her.  First he didn't  stop this man to marry her and after that without any hesitation  he gave him permission to leave her whenever he feels like . How could he. Didn't he think about her life.

Tej.  If that  so then i think we don't have any problem with that. Isn't maa. 

D. Lakin Anika .... Dadi says looking at anima sadly.

Jhanvi. Oh common mummy ji.  This is modern world. If her marriage couldn't last with shivaay then she can get with someone else. It's not  a big  deal.

Sha. But this is wrong. It's about her life. Shakti interrupted.

Tej. When her brother gave the permission then who are we to say anything.

Shiv. Yh right  though today i saw her family. they don't care about her.    Their won't be any problem to them if  I got marry to someone else. . Infect I think if we  kept any engagement function during these six months then surely they won't have any problem with it.   He said keeping stern face without giving shit to  anika's feelings " who is standing behind them listening  everything. He is not caring how it's going through her heart or how bad she would be feeling. he  is speaking whatever he is feeling as fact.

Mr k. Then  it's fixed " we will do their engagement soon and marriage we will do after his divorce.

Ri. I'm so happy baby she smile and hugged him. Seeing them all happy Anika decided to leave instead of  making herself more embarrassed. She just  Fix her heavy  dupata and left from there.

In room.

Anika is sitting on the bed keeping her both arms  her sides   Lost in her own thoughts when rudra enters there with om.

Ru.  Annie. Sensing someone's presence she wipe her tears and look at them with innocent gaze. Omru look at each other and went towards her. 

Ru. Actually we were getting bore so thought to come and chit chat with you. both brother smiles taking seat her both sides. One side om sat and another side rudra.

Ani. Do you need anything ??? She stutter looking at  them.

Om.  Actually yes

Ani. And what's it is.???

Ru.  Since you have cAme you didnt talk to someone properly. infect you Didn't even try to mingle with us

Ani. Your brother said I'm here for few days so what's the need of doing it. Though when I get attach with someone then I've really bad habit to love them a lot. which I really don't wanna do here. so better I keep good distance. She smiles looking at them

Om.  You can  love us I'm sure we won't  disappoint you. He said keeping hand on her shoulder

Ru. Correct.  So friends. He said forwarding hand towards her Anika first hesitate but then hand shakes with both of them

Om. We can call you Bhabi right ???

Ani.  No Annie is fine. I mean your brother don't consider me his wife. so .... she chuckle  answering him biting her lips

Ru.  I can understand  so Annie is fine.  Anika nods having smile

Om. So  when we are friends then  we can ask you whatever we want... isn't

Ani. Yes you can....

Ru. Then we want you to show right over bhiya. He directly said without  buzzing around.

Ani. Means ??? she frowns.

Ru. I mean  you are married to him so being his wife " you should show right over him more than anyone else. and specially more than that ridhima.  Am I right or wrong.  He said looking at om for approval.

Ani. But he doesn't consider me his wife and we gonna get separate soon. so what's the need of it

Om. It is needed. you are his wife.  He married you.  if you would had forced him then it was fine. but he did it so technically you can ask for your rights

Ani. That's so sweet of you people but you understand me as well. I know I'm his wife and I should show my rights at him. but why  would I do " when for him I'm nothing but a doll whom he dragged into this relationship for his own motives .  it's feel like I'm killing my own self respect.  He  would  consider me a cheap girl" who is throwing herself on him for being his wife. When someone doesn't consider you anything then we shouldn't try to get into him as well. We should stay away from him as much as we could. so that he don't criticise us more. That person who  rants everytime that I'm not his wife xxxx then why would  I show my right over him.  No I won't do it. i would never. If he married me then he itself has to appreciate me.  I won't do any effort for that.  I've my self respect as well. If he want us to get separate then fine !!! I'm ready to do it. but I won't bend myself to save this name sake relationship. which  doesn't have any chances to get mend. Hearing her both brothers got silent and understood her point of view as well. She is right. their brother don't  appreciate her anything. then why would she do it. Better they see their own ways instead of being tied in  this relationship

Ani. I'm sorry if I said something bad ...

Ru. No you didn't. We didn't feel bad. Infect we are happy you shared your inner feelings. He smiles.

Om. He is right. being friends of yours we can understand your point of view as well.

Ru. Yes now  whenever you feel anything. just come to us.  I promise  we won't disappoint you.

Ani. I will. She smiles looking at  them.

Om. Anyways  we should leave now. Bye Annie.  He waves his hand and left from there leaving her alone there.

After sometime

Anika  get her clothes out from her bag which she got from her house and about to go when shivaay enters there.

Shiv. That's good you are here I didn't want mum dad to shout at me again.

Ani.  If you want I can go back to my room.

Shiv. No I'm ok with that.  Though it's matter of few months.

Ani. Hmm

Shiv. Anyways I'll go first for freshen up then you go.  Anika nods and he went inside throwing his jacket aside .

Anika kept her  clothes aside and started fixing the bed  which got curled up by now.  After couple of seconds she about to head towards outside " when suddenly she heard shivaay's shout

Shiv. Wtf why has water stopped.  Aaaa my eyes are burning. he  screams rubbing his eyes  harshly

Anika. What happened ?? she run towards the door and knock over it making him alert

Shiv.  Water is not coming.  My eyes are freaking burning. Get me water from somewhere.

Ani. From where ???

Shiv.  From anywhere. Just get it aaaa

Anika look here and there In panic to get some idea. but there is nothing which could help her. Suddenly her eyes fell on the  bucket" which is laying near the pool. She got an idea and run towards it.  She filled the water bending down and run back towards inside

Ani. Open the door let me in.

Shiv. How ?I mean i'm naked.

Ani.  Wrap towel or something. 

Shiv. Yh yh wait he hissed and with much difficulties get towel and wrap around his waist

Shiv. come now. Anika nods and get in.  As she got view of his body her cheek  heat up leaving them red crimson. She  bite her lips in uncomfortable situation and turn her face away  having trembling hands.

Shiv. What you waiting for. help me girl. 

Ani. Y.... yes yes .... she  get the spare towel  and started clearing his eyes wetting in water.   One side her hand is resting on his cheek then another one is busy wiping  his face.  After couple of seconds " when he able to  feel comfortable he open his eyes and look at her face finding her standing so close to him clearing his face blowing on his eyes. Her pinkish Without lipstick lips are formed in pout throwing soft blow from  it. Her own hair strands from front got wet. But she is standing firmly without moving  bit from him.  Not able to keep her steady on toes she about to slip when he hold her on meantime from her waist wrapping his  both hands   Around her.

Ani. Are you ok.??? She spoke in low voice looking at him with her beautiful black big eyes.

Shiv. Yes I'm ok. He said tucking his eyes on her elegant face only. 

Ani. Ok now can I go ???

Shiv. Huh ??? He frown.

Ani. I said leave me. I wanna go out. so that I could ask someone for  tap problem.

Shiv. It's fine now he said gripping her tightly

Ani. Matlb she pout looking at his face acutely.

Shiv. Its fixed he said pointing towards shower Anika turns and saw water is coming out from it. 

Ani.  Thank god otherwise you had to Stand here whole day being  naked  soaked in soap.  She giggle looking at him tip to toe. but soon her giggle stopped when he pulled her along with him in water but his one move Make them slip and both fell down on the floor making him cry in pain and why won't it when a wave of pain run through his vain from back.

Shiv.  Aaaaaa he screams.
