Chapter 17
Shivaay was waiting for Anika in front of her building. He was loosing his patience waiting there for almost 15 minutes. Then, when he was about to go in, she came out with a medium-sized luggage. Shivaay was shocked to see her coming with that big luggage. With much difficulty, she brought the luggage to the car.
'Good morning Sir! Shall we leave?', she asked happily.
Shivaay still couldn't remove his eyes from her lugage. 'What's this???', he asked sternly while pointing his finger towards her lugage.
'This?! Tennis table. We can get bored right, that's why! So that we play during our journey. Have you gone mad or what? This is a luggage...', she replied quite irritatedly but got interrupted.
'I can see and I know that its a luggage. But why have you brought such a big luggage for just a week or maybe less??', he asked her unbelievingly.
'See Mr.Shivaay Singh Oberoi, I'm a girl. And basically a girl has to carry more things than a guy. So please don't argue on this. I don't want to spoil my mood by arguing with you. At least not this early in the morning. So shall we leave??', she said very calmingly.
'Okay! Let's go. Get in', he complied not wanting an argument as well.
They sat in the back seat together and the car was drove by a driver. Shivaay was working on his tablet and Anika was getting bored fiddling with her handphone. She tried to peek in his tablet to see What he was doing. She was getting nearer to him and Shivaay sensed it. When he immediately turned, their heads bang.
'Ouch!', he winced out.
'Aaahh!', she shouted in pain.
Both were rubbing their foreheads with their hands. Just then, Anika pulled his head into another bang.
'Are you mad???!!!', Shivaay shouted.
'Do want horns? Everyone who knows you are very well aware that you're like a bull. Always ready to attack someone and with the horns are you going to showcase to the whole world that you're a bull', she replied sarcastically.
'Horns??? Bull??? You're... you're mad! Totally mad!!!', he exclaimed just the way he does it in the show.
'Mad??? I saved you from getting horns on your head. You should thank me! Instead you're cursing me??!!', she's starting to loose temper.
'Our heads bang, from where did the horns topic came from??? Huh???', he justified his point.
'Oh! So you don't know is it. It's ok! Allow me to tell you this now. If you bang your head with someone accidentally, then you should bang their head again, otherwise you will be having horns growing on your head', she explained very innocently.
'Seriously??? Which scientist told you that??? Huh???', asked Shivaay annoyedly while still rubbing his head.
'Saahil!', she said smilingly.
'Saahil??!! Who's Saahil???', asked a curious Shivaay.
'It's my personal life. There's no need for you to interfere', she turned her face around.
Shivaay was curious to know who Saahil is. He thinks to find out about this Saahil and who is he to Anika. Thinking about Saahil, Shivaay was unable to focus on his work. They reached the airport by then and the driver notified them.
Anika's mind was blown when she saw the private jet. She has been on an airplane before but never once in a private jet. Shivaay noticed her and smirked.
'Close your mouth otherwise flies might enter it', he teased her arrogantly.
Anika composed herself and said nothing but angrily glared him. Then, she saw his luggage. It was as big as his laptop bag only.
'This is your luggage???', while pointing at it.
'Yes! Well you see... I'm not like some people who pack their whole house for a business trip', he went on with his teasing mood. Somehow he enjoys making her mad like that.
She kept mum and whispered to herself 'Sadu!'.
'Did you say something?', he turned and asked her. She vigorously shook her head indicating a strong no.
Then, they settled down in the private jet. Anika sat on the seat opposite to Shivaay. The flight time is approximately 2 and 1/2 hours. (I'm not from India and I've never been to neither Mumbai nor Dehradun, my facts here are from Google... so please forgive me if it's wrong... no pitaai or chamelis on me please🙏)
The jet was beginning to take-off. They were asked to fasten their seat belts and sit. Anika was a little nervous but she tries to not show it on her face. Shivaay anyhow noticed her fidgeting. He calmly held her hand and said 'Don't be scared! It will be fine... I'm with you'.
She cooled down a bit and looked up at his eyes. She gets lost staring into his eyes. The more she tries to avoid his eyes, the more she gets attracted towards them. They were silent during the take-off. But their hearts were racing and their minds were noisy. However, they did not realize the effect they leave on each other.
As soon as the jet was above the ground, the pilot made an announcement and the air hostess in charge came in bringing refreshments for them. They had their breakfast awkwardly silent. Just then, something struck his mind.
'You were telling about who told you about that horn thing just now right, what was his name??? Samar??? Sanam???', he purposedly acts as if he doesn't remember his name.
'It's Saahil!', she corrected him.
'Yeah! Saahil! How does he look by the way?', he tries to get some information from her.
'Saahil?!! He looks cute... no actually he's very handsome. His one smile can make my heart flutter. Actually, his smile can make anyone's heart flutter. He talks very sweetly and he's very intelligent. Talking about him makes me realize how much I miss him. But no problem, now that we're going to Dehradun, I'll make sure that I meet him at least once before coming back to Mumbai', she spits her mind out.
'Wait! Saahil lives in Dehradun?', Shivaay asked astonishedly.
'Yeah! In fact he's my neighbour. I can't wait to meet him!', she expressed excitedly and went ahead to the couch next to them for a power nap.
Meanwhile Shivaay was fuming about Saahil and promised to himself to definitely meet this person called Saahil by hook or by crook. He tried to distract himself by continuing his work on his tablet.
Finally, they landed safely in Dehradun. Anika was calmer during the landing. They came out of the airport and Shivaay's car was already waiting for them. Shivaay walked towards his car but when he turned around, he couldn't find Anika behind him. Suddenly he heard a familiar voice.
'DEHRADUN!!! HERE I AM!!! I AM BACK!!!', she screamed while standing on a bench, stretching her arms out and closing her eyes while inhaling the fresh and cool air of her hometown. Her happiness can't be described by words. She had turned into a child for real.
Shivaay couldn't believe what he was looking. This girl is like a surprise package to him. Just when he thinks that she can't do anything more that would blow his mind off, she proves him wrong.
PRECAP: Anika is talking to Saahil on phone and Shivaay tried to eavesdrop on their conversation.
