Anika Pov

I am busy in office when I got call  from priyanka.

" Hello bhabhi "

" Hello priyanka how are you " I asked.

" Bhabhi I am fine. I just call to know that you are free tonight . As I really want to spend some time with you. We are planning for a small  get together at home . As elders are out today ."

It's been 15 days to engagement. After that I got busy in office work because their is lot to do. I got calls from family members . But except from one person not a single message or call. I seriously I except this from him. I got the copy of contract which he had send to me by his bodyguard.

" Bhabhi it's ohk if you are not free we will plan some other day "

" No priyanka I am free . I will come. "

" Thank you so much and please bring  Bhavya also "

" Ohk i will  ask her if she is free or not. Meet you tonight "

" Ohk bhabhi byy "

" Byy "

I called Bhavya in my cabin. 

" Oh what happened why you called me "

" You are free tonight "

" Why are we going for party "

" No priyanka called me they have planned get together. She want both of us to join "

" I am free. Would love to join you. "

" Great then we will leave around 7 pm I will inform dad. "

" He will not say anything you are going to meet your fiance only "
She said in a teasing voice.

" For your kind of information priyanka invites us and we are going to all "

" I understand Anika I will meet everyone you can meet Jiju "

" Now enough go to work we have to complete this today only "

"Fine I understand you are eager to go so I am going ."

She ran away. Why she behaves like a 
child. I messaged dad informing get together and asked him to take dinner and medicine on time. I again engrossed myself in work.

I got call from Bhavya. She will come late as  she has some urgent work. When I asked her to accompany her she said I should go in time as I am their daughter-in- law.

After completing the work. I put my all stuff in car. I  put some old songs. I love old songs it's not like that I don't like new one but old songs has it's magic.

I reached OM. I came inside but their is no one. I asked the servant who is passing from their.

" Where are others "

" In kitchen mam. "

I nodded my head. He left I make my way towards kitchen. I remember some of ways here.

As I am approaching kitchen I heard voices. To my surprise Om , Shivaay are cooking and rudra is standing their making commentary. I stand their only to see them. I don't know  Shivaay know cooking.

" So bhaiya today what are you cooking as today  for bhabhi " he said in a teasing voice.

" First i am cooking for all. And second if you don't shut your mouth I am not going to cook. "  Making him pout.

" Leave him Rudra . " Om said.

"But bhaiya seriously I want to know you cook like a chef the most delicious food but why you never eat your handmade food. "

" Bhaiya I want to ask a very important question from you."

" If I will say no you are not going to listen "

" You're such a good cook and you prepare delicious food. But  why didn't you  eat what you made. Don't you trust your cooking " rudra said.

" Let alone his cooking he doesn't  trust on anyone cooking . Does he ever eat ??  Does he remember to eat?" Om said.

" You are right O . Bhaiya three meals are very important " to which he earn a glare from shivaay whose whole concentration were on cooking.

" Nobody has to get worried in this family  with you around. All they are worried about  is you "  om said in a serious tone. What's with this man . He have a such great family who love he has everything then why can't he just live his life. This man even don't to smile. I only saw him smiling around rudra ,om or priyanka.

" But bhaiya let bhabhi come she will feed you with her hands "  he will eat from my hands instead if it is in his hand he  will eat me alive. I rolled my eyes listening Rudra.

" Done I am going I have meeting " said Shivaay.  He can leave everything but his work.  I shake my head in disbelief.

" Bhaiya you are joining us "

" It's not gonna happen "  Shivaay said.

" What's not gonna happen Shivaay. Bhabhi is coming after so long we planned something." Asked rudra. 

  I don't wanna disturb them so I thought  to go back in hall. As I going back. Priyanka came stopping me.

" Bhabhi you are here. Sorry I get late " she said come to me and give a tight hug.

" I came now only. You don't have to say sorry "

" Come  bhabhi bhaiya and om ru are
in kitchen as today we are getting bhaiya handmade food. " She said excitedly. She drag me to kitchen.

" Bhaiya see who is here "taking  all their attention towards me.

" Finally bhabhi you are here. Now I will not be bored." He said hugging me.

" Rudra leave bhabhi " om said smacking on his head. I mentally thank om for saving me. He came and give me quick hug.

" Bhabhi you had to come a little early. You missed our obros moment " he said.

" What is obros moment " I asked being confused.

" Whenever these three cook food they called this moment is obros moment. And never allow me " priyanka.

" Because you are our sister not brother " rudra said teasing her more.

" Let my all bhabhi then I will make Ogirls gang " 

" Then you also have to go to your husband house "

" I won't get married . I will live here only"

" In your dreams " they both again started.

" Shut up both of you " om said loudly.

" Bhabhi leave them we will spend some girls time. Where is Bhavya."

" She has some emergency work so she will come in some time. "

I came to priyanka room her room was simple yet elegant. She start telling me about her life . She is very easy to going girl. Bhavya soon join us. And she want me to design something for her on wedding.
Their is knock on door.

" You guys want to have dinner or you guys going to fill with talks only " came rudra voice.

" We are coming rudra. "  She shouted.

" Bhabhi I am telling bhaiya make best food. Sure you gonna love it  "

" Jiju know cooking. You didn't tell me Anika " Bhavya asked. As I know myself.

" I forgot Bhavya " I said. As I don't them have a doubt on us.

We reached the dinning area. Jai bhai also come.

" Bhabhi " he come and hug me.

" How are you jai bhai "

" As usual happy and fine. Not as your finance who is sulking over their " he pointed towards Shivaay who is standing at the corner doing something on his phone. I am really curious to know why he always remain stick to his  phone like a chewing gum.

"Shivaay man why are you standing there. Come and give some company to bhabhi."

" Enjoy "saying he leave me with Shivaay.

" Hii " I said to which he royally ignore  Arrogant Jerk. He behave normally with everyone but when it's come to me he behave very strangely as I have done something wrong. I know he didn't like but atleast he can talk like a normal person but no . I also don't like him but then I talk to him normally.

" Can I ask you something " I said aloud this time no chance from him to ignore.

" You are talking to me " he asked.

" No the person behind you ohh hello hiii! How are you ?? " I said looking behind him.  He looked behind him finding no-one.

" You are standing so obviously I am talking to you only " I say in a duhh tone.

" Why you always talk like this " he said.

" Because you behave like this . Isn't you don't know how to greet back when someone greet you "

"What do you mean that i don't how to talk with people "

" You yourself saying this " I said controlling my laugh seeing his expression.

" You are totally mad " he muttered.

" So I want to know I  have done something wrong with you or I am your enemy or something." I asked.

" No why are you saying this "

"Then why do you treat me so strange? "

" Why do you feel like that "

" Because you make me like this. I know whatever is happening is not in both are ours. But that doesn't mean we are going to live like a stranger. Atleast I can except a decent talk from you " I said looking towards Bhavya and Rudra who again fighting for some reason. 

He didn't reply and go sit on his seat. To whom I am expecting. We take our seats and I took first bite of pasta and swear to god this is the best pasta I have ever.

" So bhabhi how was pasta " priyanka asked. And everyone looking towards me.

" It's delicious " I told the truth I looked towards Shivaay who is engrossed in eating. And I also notice he is not having food what he had cooked made what Om said in kitchen. This man is seriously mad and I think I am going to be mad thinking about him.

We finished our dinner talking and laughing. Then it's decided to watch movie.

" Horror " Bhavya said.

" Action" rudra suggest.

" Comedy " priyanka.

" Romantic" om suggested.

" Guys chill " Jai bhai and me said.

Atlast all agree to watch yeh jawani hai deewani . I can see that movie anytime. Shivaay leave to his room saying he don't want to waste his time. He has no zeal in life.

It's midnight so they are not allowing to us go.

" Bhabhi I am going to let you go alone at this time. "

" But we will manage jai Bhai. "

" No bhabhi he is saying right. I will drop you " om said.

" And Bhavya home was on my way so I will drop her. Is that ohkk with you Bhavya "

" Yeah no problem "

" But my car "

" That driver get it tomorrow at your home. "

" Bhabhi thank you so much coming " priyanka came and hug me.

" I enjoyed a lot " I said breaking the hug.

" Bhabhi come home soon " rudra said.

After bidding good bye we came outside. I atleast Shivaay will come to see off. But that man control Anika why will he do that . And one thing why are thinking about him so much.
Why it is effecting you so much.

" Bhabhi come "

I settle on passenger but I see figure standing near the window. As car moves I saw Shivaay seeing towards our direction.

" So bhabhi who everything is going "

" Very much fine what about your exhibition I really want to see your paintings. "

" That is going to held very soon and I want you their "  he said.

" Definitely I will come "

" So om any girlfriend " I asked him to whom smile and I caught him .

" You are smiling that's mean you have now tell who was she "

" Yes bhabhi I have her name is Gauri
she is a social worker. "

" Well that's very nice. So family members know about this "

" No bhabhi expect Shivaay noone. I didn't rudra also as he can't digest any thing. Now you know. "

" But why are they against about this "

" No bhabhi but I don't want them to know as they will start their mantra of marriage. And we both need time so waiting for a right time. "

" But I want to meet her as soon as possible "

" Definitely "

" Om can I ask something " I said hesitantly.

" Why are you asking me bhabhi "

" Actually I listen your conversation in kitchen and my self I saw why Shivaay didn't eat his hand made food"

" Bhabhi no one know the reason  behind that. Shivaay never tell this to anyone who much we tried. And bhabhi he is like this only. He never share his problems, pain and sorrow. He always stand like a wall for us. Everything is managed by him only he cares about everyone except himself. And reasons  we don't know but whatever he shows the world he is not like this bhabhi. He make him self like that. "

After listening Om words I became more confused. Shivaay is totally a mistery for me and I have to solve this.

" Bhabhi we reached "

I came out the car.

" Thank you om "

" Most welcome bhabhi good night "

" Good night "

I came inside and after changing the clothes i slept.
