Chapter 18
Shivaay walked up towards Anika who was still on the bench. Everyone in the airport were looking at her.
'Anika!', he called her while lowering both her arms and trying to bring her back to reality. She frowned at his actions.
'What now?! Can't a person enjoy a small moment in her life? I can get it that you don't enjoy little things like this but I love to do this!', she said and continued doing whatever she wants to do. Shivaay tries to hid his face with his hand as he was embarrassed because everyone's eyes were on them.
'There's place and time to enjoy such stuffs. Now would you please get down!', he shouted.
She frowned again and jumped from the bench. Her sprained ankle hurted. She winced out in pain and held her ankle. Shivaay bend down towards her and caresses her ankle as well.
'Can you stop acting like a child all the time? You have a sprained ankle, you need to be carefull even when you're walking. But you're doing superwoman stunts over here. What if something happened to you? What would I do? What would happen to me?', he blurted out in concern.
Anika was speechless to see this Caring Singh Oberoi. His each and every word made her feel special. She kept on looking at him lovingly.
Shivaay realised what he had blurred out in his moment of panic and tries to set it right.
'I mean like how would I manage to find the fabric all alone? And... uuhhmm...', he was lost at words.
'I get it! I get it! Don't worry! Your finale piece would be "ek tham tan tana tan tan!" [Absolutely gorgeous] and it will be done on time! Don't worry! I'll set everything right!', she reassured him.
Shivaay was awestruck when he heard her saying his infamous line "I'll set everything right". He's the one who always says that and today when someone says it to him, it left an unexplainable euphoric effect on him. He shrug off his chain of thoughts, got up and gave her his hand to get him. She got up with his help. But the sudden pull caused her to crash on him.
They were lost in each other's eyes for a moment when Shivaay's driver came there to call them. They composed themselves and got in the car. The driver asked them their destination.
'Mussoorie', Anika replied.
'Mussoorie???!!!', both Shivaay and the driver turned to look at her.
'Yeah! That's where my house is! And that's where I bought that scarf', she replied ecstatically.
Shivaay turned in front facing the driver and signed him to proceed.
'But Sir! There's a problem, due to the heavy rains and a small land slide, the roads to the hill station has been closed. It will be opened only tomorrow', the driver replied.
'Phail gaya raita! I should have find out about the roads before coming here!', Anika murmured to herself.
'Ohw! I should get the chopper here then!', he said and took his phone out.
'Sir! The only way to get to Mussoorie is by road. You can't get there on a chopper', the driver further explained.
'What are we going to do now?', Anika thought out loud.
'What else? We'll spend tonight in a hotel and leave to Mussoorie early in the morning tomorrow as soon as the roads reopens', Shivaay said his plan. To which Anika just shook her head in agreement. She was so excited to get back to her home but this land slide came up. It made her a little sad.
They went to a 5 star hotel. Shivaay took a grand suite which was more like a penthouse than a hotel room with three bedrooms in it. They were led the way to the suite by one of the ushers there. Anika's mind nearly exploded when she entered the suite. It was huge! The view of the veranda was amazing. She nearly couldn't believe her eyes.
She immediately went off to the veranda, not bothering about looking at any other stuff over there and sat on the chair. The pool was tempting her to dive in but the weather was cool so she just settled herself on the chair and began enjoying the view. She took her phone out and snapped a few photos of the place.
'If you're done checking out the veranda then you can go and see your room too!', Shivaay voiced out from the living room while watching her.
She enthusiastically left the veranda and walked swiftly into the living room. She then noticed the mini kitchen there.
'Wow! They even have a mini kitchen here! Kya bath hai!', she exclaimed.
Shivaay couldn't help but to chuckle at this cute side of hers. She then proceeded towards her room. She was totally awestruck to look at the room.
'This is exceptionally khidkithod!', Shivaay heard her scream from the living room. He smiled, shook his head and made a call to Om and Dadi updating his current status.
After having enough play on the bed, Anika dialled Gauri's number. She explained each and every detail of her journey till now to her best friend. Gauri was equally excited as Anika was while hearing her.
'Just one thing, if you were here, it would have been more exciting! But I'm here with that Sadu. Definitely it's going to be very much boring', she cribbed. 'By the way, I need to inform Mumma and Papa that I'll arrive home tomorrow only. And I need to call Saahil as well. I'll hang up first', she hung up and dialled her Mumma's number. After quite a long conversation with her Mumma, Anika then dialled Saahil's number.
Shivaay meanwhile had changed from his formal 3-piece suit into something more casual and was waiting for Anika in the living room.
It's nearly past lunch time and he was starving. The only meal he had was the breakfast in the jet. He decided to go to Anika's room. He went there and the door was open ajar. Shivaay being a gentleman stood by the doorstep only. He saw her sitting on the bed, with her back facing him. She was still in the outfit she had worn when she came and was happily talking on the phone.
'Who is she talking to while laughing happily like this?', he thought to himself. 'Must be Gauri!', he decided and was about to leave when he heard her saying Saahil.
He felt a kind of unexplainable rage building up. He tries to eavesdrop her conversation. He could only faintly hear words like "miss you", "date" and "presents" from the doorstep. He tried to get a better hearing but stumble upon something and nearly fall, but he held the side table there for support. His accident caused a huge sound to which Anika turned to look at him. She was quite surprised to find him there
'Aap, yahan??? [You're here???] Is there anything???', she exclaimed.
'Yeah! Woh... I actually came to say that I'm starving and if you're done on the conversation with your special friend there then we should go and grab some lunch', he answered sternly.
When Shivaay mentioned about food, Anika could hear her stomach rumbling. She was so lost in the phone calls that she didn't realize that she was actually hungry.
'I'll be there in just 5 minutes', she told him.
'Okay, Saahil! I'll take to you later and I'll see you tomorrow... love you too... ummmmaaahhh', she ended the call.
Shivaay was still there and he heard the last part especially the loud kiss. He then walked off to the living room.
PRECAP: Shivika lunch date.
