Chapter 11
'Why are you so lost in your thoughts?', Om asked.
Shivaay was unable to say anything he looked at his brother. Then turned to the front.
'Shivaay?!', Om again tries to get the matter out of him.
'Urgh! I didn't get to thank her! Alright! I didn't get the chance! I'm thinking of a way to thank her. Now please drive quietly and stop chewing my brains!', he finally blurted out unable to take it anymore.
Om tried to control but finally burst out laughing. Shivaay was looking at him as if he was an alien.
'What???!!!', Shivaay asked.
'The Shivaay Singh Oberoi is being hesitant just to say a thank you???... Hahaha... But you sing praises of yourself... haha... saying nothing is impossible for me!.. hahahaha.. ' he said while laughing.
'Very funny!', Shivaay commented and continued thinking.
The next morning, as usual, Anika swiftly went into her workplace to finish her remaining homework. All that she could think of at that moment was Shivaay's reminder when he was leaving her house. She was very serious about the internship and doesn't want to loose it at any cost.
Shivaay in his cabin was practising on how to say thank you when GauriKa entered. He tried to cover up by simply pulling out a file and pretend to be reading it.
'What were you doing?', Om asked suspiciously.
'Nothing. I was just checking this quotations', he replied plainly.
'Aise?! ( while showing her finger towards the file) Ulta?!', Gauri spoke her mind out. [Like this?! Upside down?!]
Om almost burst into laughter but controlled himself.
Shivaay closed the file, put it away on the table and said, 'Why are you both here? Anything you need from me?'
'Yes! Your aproval! I've decided to take Gauri along with me for the upcoming fashion week in Paris. So we would be needing your written statement for visa application as she's still an intern you see', Om explained while handing over some papers to him.
Shivaay read and signed on it. While leaving, Om said, 'Good luck Shivaay!'.
'Why are you saying good luck to him?', asked Gauri.
Shivaay tried to signal "don't tell her" to Om but it was too late as Om spilled the beans immediately after.
'Oh! So that's the matter. Why are you getting so worked up for this? Just get a Thank You card and write whatever you want to tell her in it! Finished! Problem solved!', Gauri gave him an idea.
'Smart! You've got a good one under you Om. She's someone you should keep', Shivaay said out in happiness as such a huge problem of his got solved.
Gaurika had an eyelock hearing Shivaay's statement. They went out of his cabin together. At the door, Om hold the door for her to walk out first and followed behind her.
Shivaay took his phone out and made a call, 'Khanna! Get me a nice and expensive "Thank You" card right away!', he instructed.
'Sir! You could have just said thank you to me. I will be extremely happy. What's the need for a card and formalities?', Khanna asked him delightfully.
'It's not for you Khanna! Just do as I say'.
Khanna entered with a Thank You card some time later. An impatient Shivaay took it from Khanna and looked at the card.
'This is so small! It looks more like a letter than a card. I told you to get a nice and expensive one right?', Shivaay's looks demands an answer from Khanna.
'Sir! Open and take a look at the card first. This is the standard size these days and trust me, this was the most expensive card in the shop', Khanna justified his shopping.
Shivaay took the card out of the cover and opened it. The words "Thank You" popped up. Shivaay smiled at it and said, 'nice!'.
That evening, it was nearly 4:50 p.m. when Anika has completed everything. Just to be sure that she didn't miss out anything, she checked all her work again. At that time, Chanda came in the workplace and told Anika that Shivaay called for her. Anika panicked, grabbed all her work and rushed towards Shivaay's cabin.
When she reached the door of his cabin, she calmed herself down and knocked the door. Shivaay who was also quite tensed inside the room calmed himself and asked her to come in. She entered and placed all her work infront of Shivaay before he could say anything.
'Sir, the time is now exactly 4:57 p.m. and this is my homework which you gave me three days ago. I've submitted it before the deadline and also I've cross-checked everything. Please check it and let me know!', she said with a smile and was about to leave when Shivaay called her out.
'Anika, wait! There's something I need to tell you.', he stopped her.
'PHAIL GAYA RAITA!!! Did he find out already?', she thought to herself.
She turned around nervously but tried to hide it with a smile. Shivaay showed his right hand towards the chair asking her to sit. She complied silently.
'Anika, woh... actually... I need to tell you that.. urrmm...', he stammered a bit while opening his drawer and taking out the card.
'OH BETE KI! He even prepared the termination letter already? What should I do now? Should I just run away? If I didn't receive the letter, my termination will not be done. Don't be silly Anika! Whatever it is face it! Be strong! Be strong!', her noisy mind started.
Shivaay handed the card over to her. Anika was all nervous and numb at that time. She couldn't move any part of her body. She remained still.
'Take this Anika!', Shivaay kind off instructed her.
She clenched her left fists, bit her lower lip and took the card slowly from Shivaay. She did not open it. Instead, she placed it into her handbag immeadiately. Shivaay was quite surprised to see that.
'Anika... errr...won't you... errr... open the envelope that I... urrrmm... just gave you?', he asked like a little child with a ray of curiosity in his deep blue-green eyes.
'Sir, I'll open it later', she said and tried to leave. But he doesn't allow her.
'Make sure... urrmm... you open it... ahem (clearing his throat)... today itself', he stammered again and looked away from her.
'Okay! So... I'll see you tomorrow Sir', she said trying to be sure that she still has the internship.
'Yeah!... errr... see you!', he stammered again.
'Oh no! Why is he stammering like this? Did he seriously fired me? Is he stammering because of that? And he said that I should open it today itself! This means that he doesn't want me to come here from tomorrow! But how did he find out about it? Urrgghh! My head is going to blast! What will happen to me now?', wondered a worried Anika while walking out of his cabin.
Shivaay was relieved at last. He managed to do what he was supposed to do.
'I'm Shivaay Singh Oberoi afterall! Nothing is impossible for me!', he said while doing his signature hair flick pose.
PRECAP: Anika and Dadi bumped into each other at Shivaay's house.
