At night,

In car,

Rudra-"Bhaiya, stop stop stop."

Shivaay-"What happened??" He stops the car.

R-"Bhaiya we have reached. Aage kaha jaa rahe ho?"

Om-"Shivaay , tu thik hai na?"

Shivaay-"Haa. Mujhe kya hua hai?"

O-"Nahi. Par tera dhyaan kidhar hai?"

S-"Kidhar nahi. Chalo utro neeche."

all came out of the car. Shivaay looked at Annika's house.

S(mind)-"Pata nhi Annika kya soch rahi hongi mere baare me. Mujhe bhi sochna chahiye tha krne se pehle. Ab agar woh gussa ho gayi toh me kya krunga?"
(He was talking about the kiss)

Bhavya-"Bhaiya, Shivaay Bhaiya....."

S-"H..... Haa"

O-"Shivaay sach sach bata. Kya hua hai?"

S-"Kuch nhi chalo. Khaana thanda ho jaayega."

Annika's house,

Gauri-"Aa gaye aap log? Kitni der lagadi."

O-"Bhabhi kaisi hai ab?"

G-"She is ok now. Room me hai,chalo."

Annika's room,

R-"Didi how are you now?"

     Rudra asked and hugs Annika. Shivaay came there and stands at the door.

Annika-"I am ok Rudra. Aap log yaha?"

She said without looking at Shivaay.

O-"Haa hum apke liye khana leke aaye hai."

A-"Om,iski kya jaroorat thi?"

R-"Aapko kya lagta hai, jabtak aap bimaar ho bhaiya aapko kisi aur ke haath ka khana khane dete?"

Annika looked at Shivaay. Shivaay smiled at her. But she turned her face at other side.

S(mind)-"Annika gussa ho gayi hai."

A-"Rudy,thank you for coming. But I don't want to eat."

B-"Didi, I know aapko pasand nhi hai na daal-khichdi. But don't worry. Bhaiya ne aapke liye alag style me banaya hai abhi."

O-"Haa, bahut acchi smell bhi aa rahi thi. Please kha lo."

A-"Koi jaroorat hi nhi thi itni mehnat krne ki. Mujhe nhi khana."

S-"Why? Tumhe accha lagega. Khakar toh dekho. Waise bhi medicines leni hai. Khana toh padega."

A-"I don't want it Om. Mujhe nhi chahiye."

R-"Par abhi toh bhaiya baat kr rahe the na?"

O-"Exactly aap mujhe kyu bol rahi hai?"

A-"Bas aise hi."

R-"Ek minute, kahi billu aur billi ke beech fir se fight toh nhi hui?"

      All looked at Rudra shocked. Om hits on his head.

A-"Ek minute, kya kaha tumne? Billu aur billi?? Matlab?

S-"K..... Kuch nhi. Tum chalo khana khalo."

A-"Nahi ek minute, kya bol raha tha Rudy?"

R-"Who.... Who..... Haa are bhaiya ka naam billu hai na. Me bolne wala tha ki billu aur uske best friend ki fight ho gayi. But galti se Billu-billi bol gaya me."

A-"Really??"

S-"Annika, woh sab chodo, khana khao."

A-"Kyu?"

S-"Medicines leni hai na? "

A-"toh..... mera me dekh lungi"

S-"Kyu maine kaha toh problem hai kya?"

A-"Haa. Kyu kr rahe hai aap mere liye itna. Koi jaroorat nhi hai. Waise bhi kya lagti hu me aapki?"

S-"Tum meri biw.....

R-"Bhaiyaa....."

S-"I mean tum friend ho na meri, ab chalo khana kha lo."

A(mind)-"Abhi bolne wale the. Kyu roka Rudy ne. Isliye naatak kr rahi thi ki Shivaay kuch bol de. But ab....."

G-"Di kya soch rahi ho?"

A-"Kuch nhi."

S-"Ok, chalo ab khana kha lo."

A-"H.....Haa"

O-"Are Rudy, kitne din ho gaye ice-cream nhi khayi na?"

R-"O, kal hi toh khayi thi"

O-"Rudy....."

R-"Kya?"

B-"Haa bhaiya, chale kya ab ice-cream khane."

G-"Haa, chalo."

O-"Accha Shivaay, hum jaake aate hai. Tabtak tum aur Annika baate kro."

Shivaay smiled at them, and they left from there. Shivaay feed Annika.

S-"Kaise laga?"

A-"Its awesome."

S-"Toh pehle kyu nhi kha rahi thi?"

A-"Mujhe dekhna tha ki aapko koi farak padta hai ki nhi. Mere khane ya na khane se."

S-"Toh kya pata chala tumhe?"

A-"Farak padta hai yeh toh pata chala, par kyu padta hai yeh nhi pata chala."

S-"Chalo medicines lo aur so jao."

A-"Don't change topic. Batao na Shivaay, kyu farak padta hai aapko?"

S-"Annika, chalo so jao."

A-"Jab me thodi der pehle aapse baat nhi kr rahi thi, toh kya laga aapko?"

S-"Mujhe laga ki tum mujhse naaraz ho. Who... jo maine kiya ..... I mean ki....."

      Annika blushed as she rememerbed his forehead kiss to her.

A-"Toh aapko bura laga ki me aapse baat nhi kr rahi hu."

S-"Haa, bahut bura laga."

A-"Kyu?"

S-"Kyu matlab? Nahi reh sakta me tumse baat na krke."

A-"Kyu??"

S-"Kyuki tum meri....."

      He stopped and looked at her. She was waiting for his answer.

S-"Bahut raat ho chuki hai. Chalo so jao."

He helped her to lay down and covered her with blanket.

S-"So jao."

A-"Hmm"

Shivaay smiled and left from there.

A-"Kabtak chupate rahenge aap? Me sab sach pata krke rahungi. Aur mujhe pata hai ki uske liye mujhe kya krna hai."

She smiled and closed her eyes.

After a week ,

      Now Annika was all ok and she again started her work.

Annika's office,
Annika's cabin,

Annika was seating on the sofa and searching something on her laptop.

A-"Ek bhi news portal par Shivaay ki personal information nhi mil rahi. Kya kru ab me? Mujhe kisi bhi haalath me Shivaay ki puri information chahiye."

She was thinking about Shivaay when someone knocked the door.

A-"Yes Come."

      "Hello gorgeous,how sre you now?" She heard a voice and looked at door. Aarav stands there with one big bouquet.

A-"Aarav tum? Come." She said coming to her desk.

Aarav-" This is for you." He said and gave her that bouquet.

A-"thank you. But iski kya jaroorat thi?"

Aa-" Tum bimaar thi tab me tumse milne nhi aa saka na, toh abhi laaya. Waise how are you now?"

A-"Now I am perfectly fine."

Aa-"Acche se khayaal rakha na tumne khud ka?"

A-"Mujhe khud rakhne ki koi jarrorat hi nhi thi. Koi tha jisse meri mujhse jyada fikar thi."

      She said thinking about Shivaay. Small smile appeared on her face.

Aa-"Accha kaun tha?"

A-"Tha koi. Leave it. Chalo, tumhari party ka kaam krna hai na? Bahut kuch baaki hai. Aur ab kuch hi din bache hai."

Aa-"Haa chalo. Maine kuch aur socha hai. Tumhe batata hu."

Annika settled down on her chair and both resumed their work.

After some time,

      Shivaay came in her office. He came directly to her cabin.

S-"May I come in"

A-"Yes"

Shivaay came inside.

S-"Annika look me tumhare liye....."

But he stopped as he saw Aarav ther.

A-"Shivaay,come"

S-"Woh I am sorry, Actually I thought you are alone. Lunch time ho gaya na toh. Sorry , me baad me aata hu."

A-"Shivaay its ok. Actually kuch pending work tha. "

S-"Its ok. This is for you."

      He said and kept lunch box on her table.

S-"Me chalta hu, bye."

A-"Shivaay , rukiye na. bas thoda hi reh gaya hai. Aap baithiye waha. Me aati hu."

S-" ok, take your time."

      He said and looked at Aarav. Aarav smiled at him. Shivaay smiled back at him and went to the sofa.

S(mind)-"Annika, tumhe pata hai ki mujhe bura lagta hai tumhe aur Aarav ko dekh ke. Isliye mujhe yaha rukne ko kaha tumne. But ab nhi. I know tum mere liye kya feel krti ho. Aur mujhe pata hai ki jo me soch raha tha waisa kuch nhi hoga."

      He smiled and sat on the sofa. He was looking around and his eyes fall on her laptop. He looked at the screen. There are many tabs open with only one name Shivvay Singh Oberoi. Shivaay read it and looked at Annika shocked.

S(mind)-"Kya kr rahi hai yeh ladki? Meri information ??? Ohh... kahi yeh kuch past ke baare me..... nhi nhi. Aisa nhi ho sakta. Thank god maine information khud hi hatwane ko kaha tha hamari shaadi ki bare me. "

He called Khanna.

S-"Khanna search all news portals. If anyone has information regarding me and Annika please contact them and ask to remove all information."

Khanna-"Ok sir."

S-"Do it fast. Kahi bhi Annika ko kuch bhi information nhi milni chahiye, did you get that?"

K-"Yes sir. Me abhi search krke action leta hu."

S-"Ok."

      Shivaay cuts the phone and looked at Annika. She was busy in her work with Aarav.

S(mind)-"Kyu Annika? Koi bata nhi raha hai toh ab tum yeh sab kr rahi ho. Kaha na maine ki jab yaad aana hoga yaad aajayega. Agar tumhe kuch aisa pata chala, jo nhi pata chalna chahiye toh?? Nahi nahi..... Aissa nhi ho sakta. Me aisa kabhi nhi hone dunga."

      He said and sat there silently. Afetr some time Annika came to him.

A-"Shivaay ho gaya."

Aa-"Accha Annika, me chalta hu. See you Mr. Oberoi."

S-"Yeah. Bye."

Aa-"Bye. Bye Annika."

A-"Bye Aarav"

     Annika smiled at Aarav an Aarav left from there.

A-"Lunch kre?"

S-"Haa"

    She came towards sofa and saw her lapto there. She runs and closed it.

S-"What happened?"

A-"Kuch nhi."

S-"Kuch chupa rahi ho mujhse?"

A-"Na..... Nahi toh. Chalo mujhe bahut bhuk lagi hai."

S-"Hmm aao. Dekho me tumhare liye aloo-puri banakr laaya hu. Khaogi na?"

A-"Ofcourse. You know mujhe oily pasand nhi hai. But aapki haatho ki aloo-pri khake me deewani ho gayi hu aapki cooking ki"

S-'Hmm. Thank you."

A-"Par Shivaay aapne hi toh kaha tha na, ki mujhe sirf light khana hai."

S-"Haa par ab tum thik ho. Aur maine Doctor se bhi puch liya hai. She said , now you can eat everything."

A-"Toh aapne Doctor se bhi puch liya?"

S-"Of course"

A-"Kyu?"

S-"Tum bhi toh bore ho gayi thi na us khane se toh....."

A-"Kyu krte ho aap meri itni care??"

S-"Phir se start mat ho jao. Kha lo."

A-"Par mujhe....."

S-"Agar nhi khaya toh me tumse baat nhi karunga. Chalega?"

   He asked. She nodded in no with puppy face. Shivaay smiled at her and feed her aloo-puri.

S-"Hows it?"

A-"Awsome. Bilkul aapke jaisi."

S-Oh thank you."

A-"Shivaay par aapne yeh kyu banaya? I mean aapka office hai na. Aur kitna kaam hoga."

S-"Much nhi hota  bas thoda sa time hi toh lagta hai."

A-"Aapko na office chodke hotel open krna chahiye."

S-"Accha? Why??"

A-"Are phir aapko mere lite special kuch nhi banana padega na? Me aapke hotel me aakar hi kha lungi."

S-"Mujhe tumhate lite air family ke liye  hi cook krna accha lagta hai."

A-"Kyu? I mean mere liye kyu?"

S-"Phirse start mat hona ab tum."

A-"Batao na mere lite kyu? Kya lagti hu me aapki?"

S-"Stop it Annika. Agar aur ek baar tumne pucha na yeah sawaal toh....."

A-"Toh....."

S-"Toh....."

A-"Haa toh....."

S-"Toh yeh....."

    And splash..... He emptied full glass of water on her. She looked at him shocked. Shivaay laughed at her.

S-"Toh yeh. Agar phir se woh pucha na toh yahi hoga har baar."
    He said smirking.

A-"Accha... Shivaay yeh sab kya hai? Ek minute, kuch yaad aaya mujhe."

S-"Kya?"

A-"Aapne mujhpar pehle bhi pani feka hai?"

S-"Haa"

A-"Kyu? I mean kaun kisipe aise pani fekta hai."

S-"Tum....."

A-"Mein?? Matlab????"

S-"Tum mujhpe shuru se paani fekti ho. Isiliye maine bhi start kiya."

A-"really?" Shivaay nodded.

A-"Woww. Kitna maja aata hoga na?"

S-"Bhut. Chalo ab Face saaf kro apna me chalta hu."

A-"But Shivaay ek sawal."

S-"No means no Annika....."

      He said and runs from there.

A-"Bagadbilla. Jitna bhagna hai bhag lo. Pata toh me lagake rahungi. Aur woh bhi jaldi."
