As the party was going on , Siddharth Singhania , who was one of head manager of project , his eyes was going around Anika.. where ever she went his eyes followed her . He lustfully looked her from top to bottom , dying each moment to fill her in his arm......

Shivaay noticed him but did not react ' who is she to me, let her handle on her own

But from deep within he wanted to throw the man out of party or beat the hell out of him .

"he is my client , why should I ? who is she to me" he consoled himself .

After a while the music started and the first thing Siddharth did was ask Anika for Dance , But Anika wanted to dance with Shivaay today , wanted to give herself in his arm , let him dance her on his tune , wash away the pain she have several time given him during these kinds of parties .

She looked at Shivaay , with so much hope but Shivaay signaled her to go with Siddharth , he was an important client and he needed to be taken care of .

Girls tried to pull him too but he denied , everyone knew Shivaay never danced in business party , he just hated it .

Siddharth took Anika on dance floor , Shivaay had asked her to go , how will she deny ?

While in Dance Siddharth started swaying with Anika , Anika's eyes was on Shivaay who was watching them dance with his eyes exactly fixed on them .

Then Siddharth , taking advantage of his client profession was moving his hands on Anika which made Anika uncomfortable . He pulled Anika closer and closer , moving his hand around Anika's body . Anika helplessly looked at Shivaay . Only if he signals for moving she will move or else she on her own cannot risk with his client .

But all she could see was Shivaay coolly looking at them , but his eyes were fixed on their dance , which made her even more uncomfortable .

On other hand , Shivaay was burning , burning seeing her in arm of other man and the way he was dealing with Anika but what could he say ? he thought .

Have he not witness such scene before , when he would escort her to parties and she not wanting to be seen with him , he had to stay in corner , watching her while she would dance and sway with men and boys which were of her class according to her .

Seeing it once and twice he wanted to avoid coming with her but her late night parties , his parents never wanted to risk , she was a girl and Shivaay was forced to come to these parties and witness his own wife in other men's arm , dancing for her it was just business party dance .

So at present too Shivaay let her do the business party dance .

While Anika was trying her level best to keep the dance descent , Siddharth was not leaving any chance Anika was almost teary , teary at the thought of how much pain Shivaay has faced in past due to her silly acts , how much pain he was going through now , but this time tear of anger flew down her eyes , her own husband doing nothing for her now , when she was almost captured in other men's arm .

She could not be rough to Siddharth , he was one of head official of the project and this project was important for Shivaay .

She after a while somehow excused herself from Siddharth , went near Shivaay and pulled him to corner in dark .

Shivaay was himself burning , he had earlier witnessed this but seeing his wife again in someone else's arm after so long was giving him fresh pain .

Anika placed her head on his chest , Shivaay closed his eyes as if she was soothing his wound , he gulped his saliva as she wrapped her hand around him , tight .... Tears flowed down Anika's eyes .....

Shivaay for a while was so vulnerable , he just let her do what she was doing , sub consciously , it was the medicine .

ANIKA : Why did you not stop me from going with him ? how can you be so stone hearted . Aise bhi kya berukhi ?

Her words broke Shivaay's vulnerability and he came back to his new self

SHIVAAY : you very well know , dancing with client is etiquette in business party , what's the problem today ? I know how used to u r to these dance types .

But Anika held his collar " I have made several mistake but how can you see your wife in someone else's arms ? that too the way he was doing"

She cried , feeling so helpless not able to take his this cool attitude .....

SHIVAAY : I am used to seeing this , spineless husband that I was and here no one is wife and no one is husband , so carry on with party" he jerked her away and went inside the party hall again .

Shivaay after a while took leave from the client and left Anika to manage the party all alone , she was the main host after all . After Shivaay left , Anika very well know how to handle the party , only when he is present her all concentration goes on him .

Anika was on her way home and Shivaay was already in his mansion , wondering what he did was right or wrong , exposing her as Anika Raichand like that in front of whole office and client . Everything will change for her for him now . But to know her intentions at last he had to do it . Her being so nice was making him crazy , what was the reason behind her new behavior he must know and thus he has to take this step .

Anika was returning home , "News must not be out so soon but tomorrow morning if it comes , what will happen ? How will everyone react ? I have tried my best to answer in diplomatic way still just hope they do not stir things . Well due to Shivaay's reputation they will not make up thing but what will happen ? I am scared "

Shivaay in his Gym , he keeps running on tread mill like crazy .. scenes of Siddharth holding Anika in his arms keeps flashing in front of his eyes . He could have stopped it but why ? who was he to stop anyone from dancing with her . She had not given him any right , when he was not allowed to interfare before , why now ??

Next Morning , Anika comes as usual to office but everyone looks at her with different eyes today she was ' Anika Raichand .

The news was out , Anika Raichand was working with Shivaay Singh Oberoi.

Why does experience like Anika Raichand need training under Shivaay Singh Oberoi .

Are Raichand and Oberoi group not competitor in construction field ? if not then what are they?

The worst was her Picture with Siddharth and then so many questions with it .

Mr Raichand asked for an answer to Anika , for bringing the name of both family in front and then what was she doing with Siddharth in Shivaay's party ? What could she have said , truth would have gone against Shivaay , he did all .

Shivaay left home early knowing very well his mother would ask 100 questions . But his Bauji now said nothing to him , Shivaay felt bad about it . His father was in shock after realization how he was responsible for Shivaay's inner broken self . Shivaay wanted him to shout on him like before but his father would not know .

Sometimes when he sat down quiet , he could not figure out , why did people go for name , fame and money when it snatches the real essence of ones life , But now this essence less life was his life and he worked day and night to be on top . All that lose will not go in vain .

Shivaay reached office , he was still in thought of party when he gets call from receptionist ....

Sir, Mr Siddhart wants to meet you ? Shivaay's heart boiled at the very name but he was from the client side

SHIVAAY : Send him in .....

After a while ,

Shivaay and Siddharth had some project related talk and then ,

SIDDHARTH : Mr Shivaay , I can give the major part of project to you , see I am leading it but I have a condition ......

Shivaay knowing the industry very well knew something idiotic is coming

SHIVAAY : Go Ahead ....

At that very moment Anika entered Shivaay's office but none noticed her , she enter without a knock , as she was in no mind of manners now . She had to discuss last night party with him .

SIDDHARTH : Anika Raichand , I have always been impressed by her and yesterday when I met her I was stunned by her personality yesterday . You have her as head of project head , so I was thinking if you could arrange for dinner between Anika Raichand and me . You see it's all business and you understand business very well and it looks like she will not deny you .

Shivaay very well understood the underlying meaning but at that moment he kept quiet .

Shivaay smiled pleasantly : you will get your invitation letter soon .

They shook hand and Shivaay's eyes then went on Anika , who stood there hearing just last part of talk and was full teary eyed .

Their eyes met and Anika left for her cabin . Shivaay continued with Siddharth for five mins more .

ANIKA : Did he mean , he will go this far by saying I will burn . Is this the way he is planning to burn me , No Shivaay you love me , how could you ? You are burning everything in your anger , you are hurting yourself more than me . I won't let you do anything which will put you on guilt track .

I have no issue with Sidhharth , Anika Raichand knows very well how to handle such people but Shivaay , how could you ?

While Shivaay was cool in his office and made few immediate calls and then left for Anika's cabin . Seeing him Anika immediately got up from her seat with puffy eyes..

she stood straight near him , but Shivaay stood cool and calm

ANIKA : So this is what you mean by burning me ??

This is just the beginning ..... Shivaay said coolly

ANIKA : How could you ? how could you accept to send me in dinner with Siddharth when deep within you know , I am your wife .

SHIVAAY : What ? You are talking about dinner , I thought you are talking about the Party .

Anika mocked the smile "Party was nothing , if you are ready to send me to dinner with person like him ."

Shivaay shook his head "Sometimes I wonder , how were you handling Raichand construction when you reach the conclusion without going in detail "

ANIKA : What is left to go in detail Shivaay ? when my own husband is sending me with someone else for Dinner . Now just tell me when have you decided to send me , I will do this too . If that satisfies you ......

Shivaay closed his eyes in anger and frustration and then turned back , held her hand tightly

SHIVAAY : If you get it that way , I will definitely let you know when and where to go an hour before you are supposed to leave . Are you fine with that ? Anyways what problem do you have with such parties , dances and Dinner .

None

As far as I remember , you taught me these things and you earlier had no problem with all this . Just give little pressure to your memory and you will get them all . Why do you have problem now ? its all so strange to me .

Shivaay in anger immediately left for home , he knew his mother would be boiling with anger at home .

Anika was still frustrated when two hours after the confrontation with Shivaay she got a phone call . It was from client . All Anika knew was Shivaay has fixed her appointment for dinner ......

"Hello Mam , we have got a new meeting scheduled for you"

"Ohh yeah , go ahead" she said in anger.

" Mam , we have a new project head , Mr Dan and he will now be handling project from our side and thus Mr Shivaay and our side decided you to meet him "

Anika got confused ""And Mr. Siddharth"

"Ohh for some reason , Mr Shivaay strictly called us and said , if Mr. Siddharth works in this project he will not work with us , we still don't know the reason but we cannot afford to loose Oberoi group working with us ."

ANIKA : What ? When did this happen?

"Around 2 and half hour ago"

ANIKA : means before he met me , he already got Siddharth out

"Mam , when do you want to get this meeting done ? "

Anika somehow asked her some time and got the call disconnected .

ANIKA : Ohh God , maine Shivaay se kya se kya keh diya . Shivaay was right , unki puri baat to sunni thi . Sachi how was I handling Raichand group ?

Anika all worried left to Shivaay's cabin but then he was gone long back .

Anika could not concentrate in office and left for home herself .

ANIKA ( self thought) : Anika you should have known , Shivaay can never ever hurt you to this extent , then how could you say all this to him.. Sachi jabse pyar hua hai , bilkul jhalli ho gayi hai tu Anika . Your mind doesn't work and heart works a little too much ......

Anika went home cursing herself and then remembering Shivaay's word about the past parties ....

.......................................

PAST :

Anika never wanted to take Shivaay to her business parties , how will she meet with her business associates and clients with her husband who have no standard , what will her status and reputation be ? So she mostly preferred going alone .

But when it would be a late night party or ouside the town , Pinky would not like the risk of sending her all alone and compel him to accompany Anika .

Anika would stay quiet at home but as they would reach the venue

ANIKA : I have many business associates and high profile people here to meet . Do you think I will destroy my reputation going inside with you . I am Anika Raichand and I have my class to maintain .....

By this time , the relation has been already sour between them

SHIVAAY : I have no interest in showing up as your husband when I am not one but I will not stay out all the while you are partying and I can't leave you alone here ........

ANIKA : Ok , come in .....

and then suddenly she would let him in as her escort or sometimes as her employee or sometimes as bodyguard . Shivaay never preferred denying her words in public but at home , he would definitely question her which she never bothered to answer .

In Party Shivaay would stand in the corner , what could he do other then just standing , he could not introduce him as her husband .

All he could see there was her enjoying the party , men would come and hug her and she would hug them back , ignoring Shivaay's mere presence . When dance would start , someone would ask her to join , she taking it as party manner would go along and dance with someone . She was all ready to prove she was single and somewhere to prove Shivaay explicitly that he meant nothing to her as huband , thus enjoy the dance and Shivaay would keep burning inside , seeing his own wife in someone else's arm , setting the party on fire .

Though she would herself never cross her limit but still her act was not one which could be approved by husband or not shatter his ego and faith in relation to pieces .

When Anika would meet young clients or some youth from such group , they would definitely be charmed by her beauty , personality , position and wealth and thus would never stop flirting .

Anika sometimes would also think of her future , she would have to settle after leaving Shivaay and this time she had decided to make her own decision . Thus when some potential young men of her class would ask her for dinner , she would accept it and along with it she could discuss her business properly during dinner .

Neither Shivaay wanted to go along with her in such meeting nor she would prefer but if the meeting would be little late in evening , Pinky would in no case let her go without Shivaay .

What if something happens ? Anika after all was their responsibility here and she will have to answer anika's father .

Shivaay would tag along with her but she would ask him to drop little before and he would come back at time allotted by her . When she would be late , he sometimes reached the venue in anger and leave the venue in more anger seeing her busy in talks with the person .

Seeing him she would take her own time to come and delay even more .

Though Anika never got interested in any men she met and thus keep her own distance but picture presented to Shivaay was different .

Actually after staying with Shivaay , physically no doubt no one came upto her expectation now . He has left her with some different physical desire which none stood any where near him , though she would never accept it .

Not only physically but none's working ability now matched to her standard , which was high now after working with Shivaay .

On humanitarian ground , all of them looked very empty to her now . But it was due to staying with Shivaay , being with Shivaay and seeing him day & night , what a person he is ? but she would never accept ........ that without any efforts shivaay is capturing her heart ......
