Life is unpredictable. Until a few hours ago he had everything to keep the world at his feet and now he was penniless, all thanks to his dear grandmother as well as his own stupid ideologies. Who told him to be so arrogant and rude ?

Shivaay Singh Oberoi, a 30 years old businessman and the richest businessman of India, was perfect in everything but his rude behaviour, anger and a little bit of arrogance made him suffer. His habit to fire his employees due to petty mistakes resulted in this day when he was entering a cafeteria, not to enjoy but to work as a waiter.

His grandmother was hell bent on making him taste his own medicine so she asked him to earn for himself without telling anyone about him being The Shivaay Singh Oberoi. Those three piece suits bid bye to him and he had to wear casuals, something that was alien to him since a few years.

He cursed himself for behaving so rude with his employees, had he been a little careful he wouldn’t have to see this day. He was cleaning the top of the tables early in the morning. But, it was a relief that the cafe was in the outskirts of the city so he was not spotted by media and any of his associates.

“Do it properly or else I’ll throw you out.” Shivaay heard the voice of the owner of the cafe and he so wanted to break the vase on her head. He was now realising how irritating it was to be fired by the boss. It was irritating to get such warnings all the time.

“Waiter !” Shivaay heard a sweet voice and turned to go towards the owner of this voice. He was mesmerised would be an understatement because he felt something more than that.

For the first time in this one month of his job as a waiter he was so excited to take an order. He was just staring at the girl’s face without blinking his eyes. He was lost to an extent that he couldn’t even listen what the girl was saying. When she shouted at him being pissed off, only then he realised what he was doing. But it was too late.

The diary fell from his hand and he tried to catch it but it fell on the table and hit the coffee mug.

"I'm sorry, mam, I'll just clean this mess." Said Shivaay, surprised at his own self as he said sorry for the first time in his life.

"What sorry ? You spoiled my already spoiled mood." The beautiful girl scoffed in anger.

"I'm sorry mam it was unintentional." Shivaay apologised but Anika was not in a mood to listen. She was just scolding him continuously.

“Mam please speak in low voice, please please please. If the owner heard about this mess created by me then she’ll throw me out of this cafe.” Shivaay tried one last time and the girl closed her eyes to control her anger. And when she opened her eyes she looked like a completely different person, calm and composed.

Just then the owner of the cafeteria came there with her infamous frown but seeing the girl her frown disappeared. She hugged her tightly and caressed her face affectionately.

“Anika, my child, it’s been long you didn’t come here. Is everything ok ?” Shivaay looked at the owner as if she was an alien. For the first time he heard her talking so sweetly and he got to know that this beautiful girl’s name is Anika. “Beautiful girl with an even better name !” he thought.

“Yes, Rose aunty. Everything is fine. It’s just, my family is hell bent on getting me married. But I want to do something on my own before getting married.” Anika said sadly and Rose caressed her hair, in order to console her.

Then, all of a sudden her attention shifted to the spilt coffee and she looked at Shivaay angrily. Shivaay was pleading with his eyes to Anika to save him. Anika melted seeing his face but in next second her devilish mind started working faster.

“Rose aunty, it happened because of me. I was getting up and my hand touched the mug.” Anika said and Shivaay sighed in relief.

“By the way, you told me that you want to go for a holiday. So when are you leaving ?” Asked Anika and Rose sighed in disappointment, “I won’t be able to go as only three weeks are left for New year. I want to make it special for the customers.” Rose opened up to Anika and Anika smiled widely as she found a solution to their respective problems.

“Aunty, do you trust me ?” Asked Anika and Rose replied without any delay. “Ok than you just get ready for your holiday. I’ll take care of everything. Go home and start packing. I’ll book tickets for you to go to Switzerland, you wanted to go there, right ?” Anika clapped her hands like an excited kid and gently pushed Rose to go home for packing.

“Thank you so much, Mam. You saved me today.” Shivaay thanked her and she in turn smiled. The smile wasn’t a cute one that depicted innocence, it was cute in a devilish way. Shivaay raised his eyebrows as if questioning her about her not so innocent smile. Anika didn’t answer. Instead, she checked him out from head to toe and then walked around him to examine him properly.

“Are you sure you’re a waiter ?” Asked Anika doubtfully because he looked way more handsome than any ordinary person could be. His blue eyes captivated her like nothing else could do ever. For the first time in her life Anika Chauhan, the only heir of her father’s business empire, was drooling over a guy. But it wasn’t her fault, was it ?

Shivaay, on the other hand, smirked seeing her lost in his eyes. Being a handsome guy it wasn’t new to him but for the first time he himself was liking someone’s stare at him. It gave him all sorts of feelings that he thought were alien to him.

“Are you done checking me out, Mam ?” Shivaay asked and suppressed his smile but his smile died as soon as she replied. “No. Not yet.” Anika said and it was her turn to smirk.

“What’s your name ?” Anika asked and Shivaay felt that may be, she got to know about his real identity. “Sh... Shivaay” he answered nervously.

“I’ll not eat you that you’re getting so scared. Chill.” Anika chuckled and he sighed in relief. But it was short-lived. “I saved your job, so you’ll have to pay back.” Anika put her condition and Shivaay looked confused as well as a bit scared.

"Lets come to the point, You'll have to act as my boyfriend. Only then I'll forgive you. Deal ?" Asked Anika, mentally praising herself for coming up with such an amazing idea. Shivaay looked at her, then rubbed his eyes and pinched himself to make sure it was real. He couldn’t believe his luck as well as the crazily beautiful girl infront of him.

“But how can I ? And why would you want me to do this ?” Asked Shivaay and Anika sighed as she knew she will have to tell him about the matter before seeking his help.

“Actually my family wants me to marry someone. Although they are not forcing me but still, I don’t want to deny them for anything. So I want to come with something that would fulfil both of my demands that is, I’ll meet the guy on my parents’ insistence and my marriage won’t happen.” Anika said and Shivaay nodded in understanding but his insides swelled with happiness. By being with her he will get to know her more.

“Ok then I’ll train you today and tomorrow we’ll call him to meet us here only.” Anika suggested excitedly and Shivaay looked at her as if she was an alien.

“Train ? For what ?” Shivaay asked quizzically. “Yes. I’ll have to train you to be a gentleman afterall, you should look like Anika Chauhan’s boyfriend. Shivaay looked at her in disbelief but then, he smiled. He didn’t argue with her because it was his own benefit. He will get some extra time to spend with her.

That evening, after the cafe was closed, the two of them started their class. Shivaay was a very poor learner as Anika thought seeing him behaving clumsy. She taught him to behave like a rich business tycoon but he was behaving the way a foreigner speaks hindi. But, it was all a facade. Shivaay enjoyed behaving like a fool infront of her. After seeing her nervousness he was waiting for the moment she will see him in a totally different get up. They decided to keep the cafe closed for other customers tomorrow and called it a day.

Anika arrived at the cafe with Ranveer, the guy whom her father selected for her. He was handsome, smart and polite but this isn’t what would make a guy perfect, right ? And in her case it wasn’t even the point. The point was, she didn’t want to marry for the time being.

“So, who did you want me to meet ?” Asked an excited Ranveer but Anika knew how she controlled her nervousness. She just didn’t want to spoil everything. “What if Shivaay won’t be able to behave the way he should ?” thought Anika and that did nothing but to make it more difficult for her to wait.

"Hello ! Mi Senora." Anika heard a manly voice from behind her and she recognised it to be Shivaay. She sent a silent prayer to God and got up from her seat, only to be pulled in a gentle yet firm embrace.

She would be lying if she said she didn't feel anything in his manly arms. His embrace felt like a protective shield, his fragrance hypnotised her. She felt a his lips on her forhead that made her lose herself in his touch. She realised what just happened only when he pulled himself a little away from her.

She looked at him from head to toe and this time, she was actually checking him out. He looked devilishly handsome and.. hot in a black tuxedo that was complimenting her black crop top and white, ankle length skirt. His already perfect face looked perfect-est, if that was even a word. He intertwined their fingers and looked at Anika whose cheeks were as red as an apple.

"Ranveer, he is Shivaay.. Mehta, my boyfriend and Shivaay, he is Ranveer about whom I told you." Anika looked a bit confident after being hugged by him. Was it really the impact of his embrace or she was mistaken ?

Ranveer shook his shivering hand with Shivaay’s and looked at Anika. “Ranveer, he is my boyfriend and you would have understood what I would say next. I don’t want to marry you.” Anika said without beating around the bush and Ranveer kept looking at Shivaay. Shivaay, by Ranveer’s one look understood that he recognised him. Ranveer was confused when Anika addressed Shivaay Singh Oberoi as Shivaay Mehta but he didn’t dare to utter a word seeing Shivaay’s intimidating stare.

Anika’s phone rang and she left from there to attend it. Grabbing the opportunity Ranveer asked Shivaay about all of this. He thought he would scare Shivaay by saying that he will tell Anika about him being Shivaay Singh Oberoi and not Shivaay Mehta. Shivaay smirked and next second Ranveer’s collar was in Shivaay’s fists.

"Listen, if you opened your mouth infront of her then you are gone. I'll break your bones if you told her anything. Tell you and her family that you want to marry someone else or else forget the deal with Oberoi Industries." Shivaay threatened the poor guy with his SSO avatar.

Ranveer left from there without waiting for Anika to come back. When Anika came she looked at Shivaay who was smiling to himself. “He had some important work. And he said he will say to your family that he wants to marry someone else.” Shivaay told a clear lie when Anika asked him about Ranveer. She didn’t ask anything else because her work was done, she didn’t want the details.

“You nailed it today, I’m impresses. I was so nervous but you did it. Where did you get this tuxedo from ? Don’t tell me your stole it from somewhere, I won’t save you then.” Anika spoke in a go and looked at him as if he was actually a thief.

“Calm down, calm down. I’ve not robbed anyone. I just borrowed it from my friend.” Shivaay lied to her and she sighed.

“So, lets start the work we have left with. Lets make this new year a beautiful one for us, for the customers and for Rose aunty as well.” Anika said with her eyes twinkling with happiness and excitement and Shivaay nodded smilingly.

“Wait !” Shivaay shouted and Anika looked at him scared. “I’ll do it only for us and the customers, not for your Rose aunty. She keeps scaring and warning me.” Shivaay said making a grumpy face and in turn, a glass of water was thrown at his face.

The next day they managed the customers and started to think about ways to make the new year’s eve simple yet extra ordinary and fun filled. But, Shivaay being there and there is no trouble, was it possible ? No.

There were too many customers for them to handle and Shivaay being the only waiter had to literally run from here to there. Due to all this chaos he banged with a guy who was every inch an arrogant, spoilt brat.

“You fool, are you blind ? Can’t you just see and walk ? You don’t even have any idea how much my shoes cost and you just ruined them you bloody...” the guy spoke like an unstoppable train and Anika, not being able to tolerate ‘her’ Shivaay’s insult, slapped the boy hard.

"Aye ! How dare you talk to him like that ? If he's poor that doesn't mean you will insult him. I know he's not Shivaay Singh Oberoi but atleast he is Shivaay, don't insult him like that." Anika fought for him like a warrior and he chuckled at her antics. She once told him that she has heard about Shivaay Singh Oberoi, the business tycoon but she has never seen him, which was a relief for him.

Next two weeks saw the development of the cutest, purest and magical bond of friendship and much more than that. After thinking for some time, they came up with the idea to make the cafe ‘a mini fair’. They decided to arrange setups for various kinds of fun filled games, a few delicacies that are not usually served in the cafe due to the lack of staff, live dancing and music and at night beverages with Anika’s hand made cookies free of cost. By the end of the two weeks everything was arranged and the customers were also told about the same.

Finally the awaited day arrived and Shivaay and Anika left no stone unturned to make it memorable. Rose came to the cafe early in the morning and it was a big surprise for her to see Shivaay and Anika’s hard work and excitement. Shivaay himself couldn’t believe that he was excited like a kid to celebrate new year. His Dadi was right, only the smallest of things make us happiest. Today, he was going to pursue the biggest happiness of his life.

The whole day passed in playing games and dancing. Rose kept observing Shivaay’s behaviour and felt suspicious whenever she saw him reciting something incoherently.

On the other hand, Anika was trying to live every moment with Shivaay to the fullest because he told her that he was leaving the job as he got a new job somewhere else. In reality, it was a lie because Shivaay’s work was done and his Dadi was actually very happy to see his changing perspective regarding middle class life and people.

It was 11:50 pm and only ten minutes were left for the new year to began. Anika had not seen Shivaay from last half an hour so she was worried. She so badly wanted to be with him when the clock struck twelve. It is said that the one you are with when the new year begins, we spend our year with them. Although she never believed this notion but to be with him she could try anything.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is believed that the one we spend our new year's eve with, he or she stays with you for whole of the year. But I want that special person to be with me not only for this year but for all those years that are yet to come. This special song is for that very very very special person." Anika recognised Shivaay's voice nut she couldn't see him. After the announcement the light were dimmed and a spot light fell on the small, round shaped platform. Everyone could see that a man was sitting on a chair with a guitar in his hand but his face wasn't visible.

Duniya te lakha Chehre
Beshak ne fabde ve,
Mere do nain ae Kamle
Har pal tainu labhde ve

Tere vich rehn gawaache
Tere vich rehn gawaache
Yadan de ghere ve

Jinna tu khud vich sajna
Ona e wich mere ve

Jinna tu khud vich sajnna...

Kanna nu chardi masti
Sun ke tere bol sohneya
Rab nu tak lawa nedeyon
behke tere kol sohneya

Kar di shingaar jadon
Kar di singaar jadon
Sheesha mainu chhede ve

Jinna tu khud vich sajjna
Ona e wich mere ve

Jinna tu khud vich sajjna..

Teri ae adaa nirali
Keh ke koi gal te hasna
Kadh ke meri jaan lai jave
Aukha ho jaave bachna

Mainu vi Hunar sikhade
Aunde tainu jehde ve

Jinna tu khud vich sajna
Ona e wich mere ve

Jinna tu khud vich sajjna
Ona e wich mere ve..

Jinna tu khud vich sajna
Ona e wich mere ve...

Everyone enjoyed the song and the love that was dipping from the lyrics. They were eagerly waiting to know who was the lucky girl for whom someone was doing so much. More than anyone else it was Anika who was waiting to know this. She knew it was Shivaay who sang the song but her heart sank as the thought that he may propose some girl came to her mind.

The man got up and descended down the platform, revealing his face. He took small steps towards the one whom he wants to be with him forever.

"Anika, I don't know what you think about me. I don't know whether you would hug me after what I'm going to say or you'll slap me. But I want to say it to you. Though I have so many things to say but this one night isn't sufficient to talk all of those. So I'll try to sum up all of my feelings in simple words. You've my world for me. You're someone I never dreamt of but want to pursue. You're a happiness I want to grab. You're are a memory that I want to remember and smile like an idiot. I.. I love you, Anika. I love you so much. Will you give me the chance to be with you for the rest of your life and make it beautiful ?" Shivaay spoke his heart out as he got on one knee and stretched his hand holding a beautiful diamond ring.

Anika's voice betrayed her but her wide smile and crimson cheeks said it all. She couldn't stop herself from getting on her knees and hugging him with all her might whispering an "I love you" for God knows how many times.

Loud hoots and then the cheering of Happy New Year brought them out of their dreamworld. They looked at the clock and Shivaay didn't miss the chance of stealing a gentle kiss of love from his beloved lady.

"Bhai, let us meet our bhabi atleast." Shivaay and Anika heard someone say these words as Shivaay was still hugging Anika closed to him. Shivaay mentally face palmed himself when he saw his siblings Om and Rudra standing there with mischievous grins on their innocent 'looking' faces.

"Oh My God ! You're Omkara Singh Oberoi, right ? I'm a big fan of your paintings." Anika squealed happily but then frowned confusingly. "But why are you calling him bhai ?" Asked Anika to which they answered casually that he is their brother. Anika looked at Shivaay with angry eyes and left from there towards the backyard, followed by a scared Shivaay.

"Anika, it was just that I used to be very rude and my Dadi wanted me to change my habits. So she just asked me to work without using my family name. When I met you I started enjoying my life without all those luxuries. It felt amazing. That's why I didn't tell you anything. I'm sorry." Shivaay confessed hopefully but Anika nodded negatively.

"I'm not forgiving you so easily." Said Anika and pulled him as close to her as she could, making him lose his sanity slowly. "You'll have to" She brushed her lips with his, "Marry me" She pecked his lips, "As soon as possible." she said and smooched his lips.

"But I thought you want some time to get married as you want to achieve your dreams before.." Shivaay was going to ask her but she kissed his lips slowly, teasing him like hell.

"Do as I say. Don't let your brain work so much or else forget.." This time it was Anika's time to get shocked as Shivaay pinned her to the wall and kissed her as passionately as he could.

After that they didn't remember for how long did they stand there, joining their forheads and talking words through their eyes that only they could understand.

The End
