Happy reading

In whole time shivaay's eyes were tucked on his wife who is walking around working whatever her mother or his mother is saying. Exhaustion he can clearly see on her face. Sometime he try to go to her but she didn't pay attention to him and ignored him fully without uttering a single word. Soon engagement ceremony started and after passing rings to couple she quietly got down and sat near her parents taking ayaan in her arms ,, who was desperately wanted to go to his mother. She caresses his hair and peck his head lovingly. Shivaay who was standing in the corner silently goes towards her and stand behind her resting his hand on her chair. Feeling him near her ,she scoot near her mother avoiding his closeness ,which didn't go unnoticed by him. Soon ceremony started and  he found his wife's eyes tucked on the couple. He can see that something is going on in her mind. He little bit have doubt that she would be thinking about her marriage but he shrugged it off his assumption guessing he can be wrong. Simultaneously He raises his hand to touch her shoulder ,, but then he pulled his hand back thinking she won't like it. Anika's who was lost in her thoughts she blink her eyes and turn her face away avoiding thinking about her marriage nonsense ,which gonna finish in few days. it's better if she don't think about it and burn her own blood.

Anika did you eat anything. You look tired.. Her mother says caressing her cheek lovingly

No mum I'm not hungry I'll eat later. Shivaay who was listening their conversation he got worried and interrupted between them gaining her attention

Anima you didn't eat anything. Before anika answer to him pinky come running there and asked them to join family in photo session which gonna happen soon . Anika really wanna escape from this unnecessary thing but before she does, her mother in law hold her hand and drag her towards the stage. Soon she made her stand in the corner  and pushed Shivaay towards her making anika stumble.. she about to fell but he hold her on meantime in his arms securely.

You alright,,?? he instantly said seeing fear in her eyes. Anika  heave out breath and nods tucking her hair back

Shivaay why are you standing like this. Stand straight with your wife. His mother spoke seeing him standing back facing the camera ...

Yes mom ",saying this he stood besides anika sliding his cold hand around her waist pulling her towards him. Anika close her eyes and wriggle to come out from his hold but he held her firmly without letting her move ....

You don't need to hold me. No one gonna ask you to do it. She mumbles giving small smile towards camera without showing they are having conversation.

It won't look good like that. So let me hold you. Anika glare him and then turn her face away shaking her head in disbelief. That guy who was expressing his hate for her before few days. Today she don't know what got into him that he is behaving so odd which he never did with her before. Eventually She just wriggle  in his hold and make distance between them making him sigh in sadness. He closed his eyes tightly and unwillingly brought smile on his face keeping hand  on his wife's shoulder which soon got   Clicked by the photographer. As anika saw photo session is done she took the opportunity and left from there silently.

After some hours

Whole guests left except these two families  who decided to chit chat with each other about further functions and everything.

I think it's too late.  We should leave now.  Anika's father says looking at his wrist watch.

Yes dad we should. Let me get my bag then we will  leave. Anika chimed and about to head towards  her bag but  before she do , pinky stood up stopping her to leave. .

Where are you going anika.   I thought you are staying.  Shivaay eyes instantly shoot up towards her as he heard she is leaving. He so wanna stop her but he don't want her to be angry on him for stopping her here without her will

P. Yes they are right moreover I guess you should stay here and help me rather than going back in your parents house.  I need your suggestion in many things.  Please mrs malhotra let her stay. Pinky requested looking her parents.

If she wants then we don't have any objection. She can stay here.  Her mother shrugg her shoulders.

Anika take a shaky breath and divert her eyes towards shivaay who is already looking at her longingly she so wanna deny it but seeing her family. She could and nods her head unwillingly .

Fine maa I'll stay. She   Smiles.

Yayayaya bhavya and gouri run towards her and take her in  hug making her stumble back little. .

Ok anika . Let's go omru. They held their hands and left from there.  Anika heaved out breath and  look at shivaay who is still looking at her. Without uttering a single word she  decided to go. Seeing her going he also followed   Her like a lost puppy

After making sure ayaan have been slept" she kept him on the bed surrounding him with pillows  and kept monitor near him so that when he get up she get to know. She kiss his forehead and about to go but soon a groan left her mouth when her head collided with the hard chest.

Hey you alright ?,,shivaay raises his hand to touch her forehead but she didn't  let him and move back

I'm fine ,"she  says sternly and try to move but he didn't let her and block her way making her annoyed.

But I don't want to.  So please leave my way.

We need to talk anika if  we won't discuss problem between us. then how will things get solve.  He says gripping her arm pulling her little closer.

I don't think so we have anything to discuss when we knows what's  the future of this Marriage which is nothing but a namesake.   She whispered in thick voice not intended to wake her son up.

Anika it's not gonna happen.  We have to just ......

Brother ,  anika you both are here and we are waiting for you from last 10 minutes.  Gouri says entering in there room not before knocking. Anika immediately come out from his hold and muttered sorry.

I'm sorry gouri.  Just ayaan took little long for  sleep.she passed her tight smile trying to lighten the atmosphere.

Ayaan or someone else stopped you. She winks giving her teasing grin earning tight smile from her.  

It's nothing like that gouri. Nothing was happening between us. Anyways let's go. All would be waiting for us. Saying this she  grab the second monitor and left from there following with shivaay behind.

Whaoo bhiya is also here we thought  you gonna avoid our party by calling it childish. Rudra spoke being shocked with his brother's sudden appearance who never partied with them ever.  Whenever they asked him ,he called it childish and said let him stay away from these stuff...

I don't have anything to do today  so I thought to do little party with you people. He lied giving them  smile but anika knows he came here for her.  Otherwise He didn't want to come in this stupid party. He just wanted see to her whole time that's why he decided to land in here

Ok guys let's start the game. Already it's too late.  Anika sighs and take seat on the floor near the gouri. She thought shivaay gonna take seat  somewhere else but she got shocked when he requested dev to go near prinku so that he could sit  with anika. Before she say something he  settle besides her resting his knee on her thigh. She try to remove it but he didn't let her and scoot more closer to her making her shake her head seeing his absurd antics..

Ok so let's spin the bottle.   Rudy clap excitedly and spin the bottle which  directly landed on  the om.

Waoo om  . So choose  ... truth or dare.  Dev says patting his shoulder...

Ok so I dare you to finish all this ice cream in two minutes. He grin keeping big dub of ben&jerry ice cream infront of him.

What the hell I won't do it.  It's so big. I don't wanna be sick tomorrow.  He says  pushing the tub away.

So you accepted your defeat. Rudra arch  his brows  while asking him

Ok so be ready for punishment before he say something dev grab full plate of  whipped cream  and smeared on his face making all people burst into  laughter except  anika who smile little.

Yukkk you are such  a pervert Rudy.   He again hit in his head making him laugh so hard.  Like this all people got their turns.  Some chose truth and some chose dares. And if someone didn't choose anything then his face was being caked up with the whipped cream and became laughing stock for others. .

Ok so let's do it again.  Rudra held the bottle and spin it which straight landed on anika making her tensed which shivaay noticed instantly.

Anika  pressed her lips together and then spoke hesitantly

Come on anika tell us na what had bhiya gave you on your first day marriage  and what had happened  that day. Bhavya chimed excitedly.

......

Marriage day ;::

Anika is walking around in the room holding ayaan who is crying nonstop. Today was such a bad day for her. Everything got shattered in her life. She never thought that her family would do this to her and will force her to marry her sister's husband who still in daze of her sister's death. who died before few days. She tried to make them understand that she can take care of ayaan without marrying shivaay. but they didn't listen and made her marry with him by saying if she won't do it then they will lose their last symbol of their daughter, which is ayaan. . Seeing her parents state she couldn't say no and got ready to ruin her life without uttering a single word. Suddenly she gasp when he entered there stumbling. Seeing his way of walk and eyes she got to know that he is drunk. He about to fell down but she immediately run towards him and held him on meantime protectively

So you married me ha. He chuckle jerking her hand off him stumbling back ..

Mr oberoi "she try to touch him but he didn't let her and point finger at her  having red puffy eyes.

You would be on cloud nine after marrying me don't you. He hitched looking at her dizzily

No it's nothing like that I ...

I know everything about you. Radhika had told me how you always wanted to be like her. He chuckle again going towards the bed

She always said we're jealous of us as well. You always had an eye on me. That's why  as she died  you got ready to marry me. He hitch and goes back to her again making her walk bacl.

But let me tell you one thing. You will be never my wife. I will never accept you. You can't take place of Radhika. She only had right on my everything . I would never give you right of my wife. You will stay in this house but just a caretaker of ayaan other than that we won't have any relation between us ... did you understand. He shakes her holding her elbow

And one more thing don't you dare to come
Near me or try to be my radhika. Otherwise I will do that which you never imagined. Now get out of this room. Just leave me alone. I don't wanna see your stupid face . Get out. He held her arm and drag her towards exit. He made her stand out of the door and stood inside the room holding the door knobs.

The way you don't have place in my heart same you don't have right on my things not even on my room. Keep this straight in your head. Saying this he shut the door on her face making her flinch with such a loud voice

Anika anika , where are you lost. You didn't tell us anything. Show us what bhiya had gave you. Rudra nudge her bringing her back in the reality.

Anika first look at them and then shivaay who seems tensed finding the situation heating up. Errr this bracelet she instantly shown them a small bracelet which is resting in her wrist looking down hiding her tears.

Whaoo this is so pretty anika . Awww bhiya you are so romantic. Bhavya praised shivaay adoring her bracelet   Shivaay felt so embarrassed seeing her lying for him infront of his siblings. He knows what had happened that day. He had treated her so shit  and even he had kicked her out of his room and because of it she had to spend  whole night   Pool side  along with ayaan whom she somehow protected him by cold but itseld she had got  sick for full two days.  Omru who knew their marriage truth they exchanged  sad gaze and look at their brother being disappointed for not stopping her lying about their marriage.  

Now I guess we don't need to spin as only Shivay bhiya left behind. So bhiya tell us whom you love the most in the world. And who is your first choice in everyone.  Bhavya knitted her brows having grin on her face. Hearing her anika look at Shivaay  being known the answer as she knows he loves her sister more than anyone else even more than ayaan. so obviously he gonna take her name Neverthelessly.

Err I I  .... he  lick his dry lips and try to say something but nothing is coming out of it

Come on bhiya tell us.  Hurry up.  Gouri  smiles.

I actually I  ..... suddenly he stopped talking when they heard ayaan crying through thr monitor

Ayaan is up.  I should go  saying this  she hurriedly grab the monitor and left from there making him sigh. 

I guess it's late now. Let's go for sleep....   om Interrupted stopping the game in between as he knows his brother won't answer. So better if they end the game here only.

But let bhiya answer. Bhavya pout sadly.

Some other day bhavya. Om is right. We all should go and sleep.   Saying this without losing opportunity shivaay left from there fastly towards his room

......
Anika " he calls her name as he entered there but finding her not there made him confused. As he remember he had seen her coming this side then where's she. Suddenly his eyes fell on the broken bracelet which she had shown before few minutes. now it's scattered in many pieces laying on the floor. He pick it up all the pieces and put in his pocket silently.

Ani " he calls her again moving towards the washroom. He hold the knob and twist it but it's locked inside

Errrr anika are you fine in there??? . Can you come outside please. but he didn't hear anything in return except water running noice

Anika he calls again knocking on the door. This time she opened it standing infront of him with blood shot eyes. He can clearly see that she cried.

Do you need anything she whispered maintaining her stern face

No I just wanted to know that you are fine or not. He stutter giving her small smile

Yes I'm fine what will happen to me. Saying this she went towards the bed and started fixing the things around ayaan " who again went to sleep after getting one glimpse of his mom ....

Just take care of him. Sometimes he get cranky after getting up. So if you feel you can't handle him you can call me. I'll be here next second.... she says grabbing the pillow and sheet from the sofa which seems likes she  arranged for herself to go out and sleep.

What do you mean call you. You will be sleeping here right. Where are you going. He chuckle not able to understand her words

This is your room mr oberoi and I guess you don't like if someone spoil your privacy.

It's nothing like that anika I don't mind if you stay here with me and ....

But I do mind mr oberoi I don't wanna share room with you. Hearing her answer he Didn't feel nice. He try to say something but she just grab her stuff and Went towards exit. She open the door and about head out but stopped seeing pinky Coming towards their room.

Anika where are you going ??? she frown seeing blanket in her hands.

Woh mom actually i erm I. She stutter not able to tell her that she is going to sleep outside as apparently her son doesn't want her to be with him.

She was going to put them in machine. They are dirty. Shivaay answered instantly taking anika in side hug making her shell shocked.

Oh ok that's fine. Anyways give to me. I'm going towards laundry room side. you don't need to worry about them . Go and sleep you both. Pinky says taking it in her hand

Yes mom. He smiles and closed the door. As He shut it anika removed his hold from her shoulder and shot glare him

An. Let mom go then I'll go out.

You can't go if someone again saw you out then. He says calmly walking towards the bed.

I'll handle it. You don't need to worry about.... Seeing her being stubborn on her decision he grounded his teeth in anger and comes back making her step back little.

But I've to. they will ask me several questions if you sleepy outside. which I don't wanna answer so better you stay in this room. He says holding her elbow controlling his rage.

Anika closed her eyes being annoyed and went towards the sofa deciding to arrange her sheet there.

You can sleep with ayaan I mean I can sleep on the sofa. He suggested  trying to lighten the atmosphere.

No thank you I'm fine here. Saying this she lay down there turning her face towards sofa board. Shivaay sighs tiredly and rub his forehead and closed the light deciding to sleep instead making issue between them in this middle of night. As he turn off the light anika open her eyes which are filled with the tears. All the memory of party rushed towards her mind. She remember Each and every memory of it and specially his face when they asked him whom he loved the most. She knew his answer. but still wanted to hear him. but when he didn't answer and she understood that he love her sister most no one else not even her son. She wipes her tears and decided to finish all this. Waiting for him is just not worth it. better they end this before it gets more worse. Tomorrow morning only she will take him to her lawyer and put full stop on their Dead story.

Precap ..... shivaay got shocked when she sign the divorcee papers later anika's friend comes in their house
