"Anika, i don't know any cheesy lines nor i proposed any girls in my life. So i will be straight forward, I Love You so much. Will you marry me?"

Shivay was standing infront of Anika, who was staring him without any specific expression, with a Red Rose in his hand forwarding towards her. Both were standing in the middle of their college ground and they are surrounded by the whole college.

They are in final year MBA, but in different streams. This is their last day in the college, their farewell party. He definitely wouldn't want to regret on losing the last chance to propose her.

They were classmates from primary class to 12th. They are not friends, they didn't even talked to eachother properly. They only talked when there is something urgent. Shivay's heart and eyes were always behind her from 8th standard.

"I don't take any decision without my parents permission." Anika said looking into his eyes and left from there.

Shivay stood there looking at her retreating figure. He throw the Rose on the floor and left from there to his brothers with sad face.

**********

"You really think, he will come and talk to papa?" Gauri, Anika's younger sister asked walking towards to the library, with both Anika and their younger sister Bhavya.

"Yes Chutki. I know, he will come." Anika said with a 440 volt smile.

"Hmm, Lets wait and watch." Bhavya said in lower tone as they already entered the Library.

************

"Shivay, what will you do now?" Om asked looking at the sad face of Shivay. Shivay said nothing. He concentrated on the Samosa in his plate. They were sitting in the canteen.

"Bhaiya, say something." Rudy said shaking Shivay from his shoulder.

"Omru, don't talk while eating. Just shut up and eat." Shivay said still gazing on his food.

Omru rolled their eyes and concentrated on their food. He was the same man who talked about her all the time....eating, running, studying even in bathing time also, they could hear him talking about her from the door. He saying that don't talk while eating. Strange na....

************

"Anika, freshen up fast and come, we have to talk." Anika's father, Harsh said watching her entering the house at the evening, back from college. Their mother Kaveri was also there. Gauri and Bhavya were behind Anika. Three of them shared a look and ran to their respective rooms.

After half an hour, AniRiVya came down to the hall, after freshening up. They came to their Papa and mumma.

"Anika, your MBA course is completed and exams are also over. And you know...." Harsh stopped for a second and a curious anika was sitting there without even blinking her eyes, she just not want to skip a single word spoken by her father. RiVya were also very eager to know the thing.

"Today, a proposal came for you." Harsh said examining Anika's expression.

Anika's eyes showed happiness. Gauri and Bhavya were looking at her with side gaze from either side.

"When papa?" Bhavya asked excitedly.

"Just after you all left for the college." And Anika's smile vanished in the air. Rivya looked at her as their teasing smile were also flew away. Shivay proposed her in the lunch time.

"Oh...." Anika's voice slow down and it didn't got unnoticed by her mumma and papa.

"Mumma, i want to take some rest. Call me at diner time." Anika left to her room. Followed by RiVya.

***********

"Daadi, everything will be alright na." Shivay asked laying his head on his daadi's lap. She kept her hand on his head and ruffled his hair smiling.

"Don't worry Billu, everything will be alright." She dropped a kiss on his forehead. He smiled looking at her like a 5 year old kid.

**********

2 weeks later

Shivay opened his eyes and looked at the watch kept on the table near the bed. His eyes widened in horror. He hurriedly got up from the bed and ran towards the bathroom.

After freshening up, he ran down to the hall. There his whole family is sitting on the dining table and eating. He came and wrapping up his breakfast in his hand ran out of Oberoi Mansion, calling his first love

"Khannaaa, gaadi nikalo..."

Shivay has joined the family business, 1 week before. He is spending his most time, in office, romancing with his girlfriend...... office.

Khanna joined him 3 days before, and he is already in love with his wife.

"Shivay, come early or else, we will go without you" Pinky ran behind him till the entrance and shout behind him. Shivay raised her hand showing thumps up to her, standing between the door and entrance of nthe car. He sat in and Khanna drove off to the Oberoi Industries.

***********
Its almost 4 in the evening. Anika got ready for her engagement. She was not happy but she don't want to make her parents sad refusing them. Gauri and Bhavya tried to talk to Harsh and Kaveri. But Anika didn't allowed them to fo so. She is going to see her to-be-husband today, for the first time.

Anika expected Shivay to come amd ask her hand for him. But, he never came. Every decision regarding her marriage was took by her parents. Everything was of their choice.....groom, time of the rituals, marriage.... and she didn't refuse.

**********

Anika came down in her engagement dress. She never looked up, always kept her head down. Everyone thought she is shy, but she didn't wanted to see her groom.

(Anika's dress and Make up)

*********

Anika was sitting beside her to-be-husband with gloomy face.

"Beta, put the ring on his finger." Groom's father said to Anika. She looked at the thali kept on the table infront of them. It was filled with rose petals and two rings were kept in it. She slowly, hesitatingly took the ring of the groom.

"Arey, what are you waiting for Anika, c'mmon do it fast." Harsh said smiling.

Anika forwarded her hand for the groom to keep his hand on hers. He slowly kept his hand on hers....

"What's so hurry bro...." someone barged in. Anika lift her head and looked at the man. He smiled at her. She saw one more boy coming towards her and stood beside the man.

"Hello Anika, congrats." Om said giving the gift to her. Anika took it with a fake smile.

"And this one is from my side. Congrats Anika dii." Rudy said handing her a girft box. She took it and kept both the gifts side.

"O, anyway we came. So lets go after the engagement." Rudy said and Om nodded hia head.

"Yes Rudy. Anika, congrats once more." Om said and both stood beside the groom's father.

"Anika, now put the ring fast. Auspicious time is getting over." Anika's father reminded her. She put the ring on the groom's finger and he also did the same. Everyone clapped smiling.

************

The engagement got over a while ago. All are sitting at the hall chatting with eachother. The groom got a call and left from there attending it. Taking the chance, anika left to her room.

She entered the room and locked the door. She wanted to cry. But she can't. If someone came to call her, they will get doubt.

Anika took off her shawl and kept it on the bed. She also took off her earrings and kept it on the dressing table. She entered washroom and washed her face. Anika came out from the washroom, rubbing her face with the towel. She was standing near her bed rubbing off the water from her face and suddenly she felt something sliding from both the side of her waist. The towel slipped from her hand and she stood there rooted fpr a second. Coming out from the shock, she immediately turned anly to get another shock.

Shivay is standing infront of her, giving 1000 volt smile. His hands secured either side of her waist. She got lost in his blue orbs so as he. Suddenly reality striked her.

"Sh....Shivaay...." she whispered

"Hmmm...." he responded with a humming stil lost in het eyes.

Anika pushed his hands off from her waist.

"What are you doing here Shivay?" Anika asked trying her maximum to hide the tears which will flow from her eyes any time.

"I am here to see you Anika." Shivay answered honestly.

"Shivay, its not the time for a joke. Please go from here. Today i got engaged and i don't wanna see my parents sad. So please go." Anika said pushing him from his chest. Shivay immediately catch her left hand with his right one and twisted it behind her, resulting her chest to collide with his.

"What are you doing Shivay, leave me." Anika tried to get out from the hold but he tightened it.

"You are hurting me." Anika said as the tears she held back, started to flow. Shivay immediately loosened his grip but didn't left her hand. They are still in the same position.

"We didn't got engaged that, i could away from you." He said little lodly. And Anika, who was struggling in his hold, to get out from it, stopped her attempt and freezed there. Shivay brought his left hand on her cheek and wiped off her tears. Then he left her hand and placed his left hand on her waist bringing her close to him. He slowly raised his right hand and showed her the ring. She blinked her eyes in disbelief. She held his hand and examined it with full concentration.

"Its not duplicate. Its the same one you made me wear." Shivay said teasingly.

"I know." Anika said still gazing the ring.

Anika suddenly throw his hand away and stood away from Shivay. He saw her in confusion.

"Means, the groom was you?" Anika asked. She noticed his dress and remembered that the groom was wearing the same one.

(Shivay's dress)

"Your dress is also the same. Means you are the original groom." Anika said. She is still not able to digest the fact.

"But wait, that day you proposed me in the noon but papa said the marriage proposal cane in the morning, just afyer we left tothe college. How's it possible?" Anika asked confusingly

"Anika, i didn't realised my love, just before i proposed you. I was aware of it already for yiur kind information." Shivay said sarcastically and Anika twisted her mouth.

"And i had send my parents in the morning only. I thought you will accept my proposal. Then after you get back home, you will get to know about the proposal and will be happy. But you didn't accepted my proposal. So i made mom and dad to tell your parents to not to tell you about me. Small revenge." He said with a wink. Anika was standing there with an open mouth.

"But i didn't knew that you will not see the groom's face." Shivay said taking slow steps towards her. He was about to grab her hand but before that a pillow landed on him. He looked at her and the second one flied towards him. Luckily he caught it.

"Anika, what are you doing." Now she is continuously throwing whatever comes to her hand and he is trying to escape from her attacks. Anyhow he reached her and grabbed her both hands resulting her to collide with him.

"Leave me, i want to hit you." She tried to release her hands. But he was strong enough.

"So you could hit and throw things on me right?" Shivay asked bringing her hands to his back, making her hug him through his waist.

"You kutta, kamina, gadha, murga, ghanchakkar." Anika got cutted in between by Shivay.

"Ghan.....chakra? What is it?" Shivay asked being confused. He has heard it for the first time.

"Its not ghanchakra, its ghanchakkar." Anika corrected him

"Yeah, now tell me the meaning." Shivay asked rolling his eyes.

"Findout by yourself." Anika twisted her mouth

(Yeh ek shabd ne meri puri sarr khaa liya tha🤯 you miss Fiza866 dfuse kahi ki.)

"I will findout by myself." Shivay said flipping his hair with his hand.

"4 baal ache se sarr par hei nahi, lekin tadi toh aise dikhate hei jaise ki balu jaise baal ho." Anika whispered under her breath.

"You said something?" Shivay raised his eyebrows. Anika shook her head.

"You know how much i was waiting for you. I thought you will come and talk to my father. When i came home, he saide about the proposal and i was happy thinking that its you. But when papa said that the proposal came in the morning, i got sad. Still i waited for you, but you didn't come. I thought i lost you." Anika said crying. Shivay immediately wiped her tears nodding no and cupped her face.

"I am sorry Ani." He apologized looking into her eyes. He slowly btought her face near his lips and kissed on her forehead. She immediately hugged him keeping her head on his chest.

"Ani..." Shivay called her and she hummed in response.

Shivay broke the hug and cupped her face. Both share an eyelock. Shivay run his eyes from her eyes to her lips and back to her eyes. Anika gulped knowing the meaning of his look.

"Can i?" Shivay asked in his husky voice. Anika blinked her eyes.  Getting the permission, he placed his lips on hers and took her ito a soft yet passionate kiss. He was gentle to her, pouring all his love for her. Anika closed her eyes and clutched on the dress from his waist. He inserted right hand his fingers in her curls, bringing her more to him. He didn't closed his eyes, instead he was enjoying the beauty in front of him. Both broke the kiss after 10 minutes. He kissed on her forehead and she dragged him into a hug, shyly, making him smile at his love.
