CHAPTER 40
Shivika, Tej & Janvi and Mallika finally landed in Mumbai.
M- Bye, Anika. See you at College. Bye shivaay, uncle and aunty.
They bid her bye. Mallika left.
T- Shivaay, come on let's go home.
S- Yes dad, we are going to our flat.
T- Shivaay, I mean Oberoi Mansion.
J- Yes Shivaay. I think it's enough of your punishment, you should come back to Oberoi Mansion and we also want our daughter to live with us.
Jhanvi said while side-hugging Anika. Anika also smiled back at her.
S- Mom, dad actually I still think that I am yet not responsible that you guys want to cancel my punishment. It was not a punishment for me but a new way of living life. I know you guys are right but I want to become responsible, for myself, for Anika. Please dad, mom, let me stay there till I feel that I have become responsible. Rest of the decision is yours, Anika. If you want to live with mom, dad, then you can, I'll be very happy.
Shivaay says with a smile.
A- Mom, dad. I love you both a lot but I can't leave Shivaay alone in his phase. I want to be a part of his ups and downs, so Please can I live with him?
Jhanvi and Tej looks at each other with a smile, then they moved towards Anika. Jhanvi cupped Anika's face and kissed her forehead.
J- Yes you can live with Shivaay. I am glad that my stupid son got such a beautiful and intelligent wife.
Shivaay whines.
S-Mom.
T- I am proud of my daughter.
Tej says while side-hugging Anika and kissed her head.
Shivaay went near them and pulled Anika in his arms.
S- Leave my wife. Only I have the right to hug her and ki.......
Shivaay was about to say further when Anika hit him on his shoulder lightly. Jhanvi and Tej chuckles at their jealous son.
J- Ok. Ok. Stop it. I think we should go home. (To Anika) But beta, what about the post marriage rituals? Your grah pravesh?
S- Mom, you can do her grah pravesh when she will enter Oberoi mansion as the Great Shivaay Singh
Oberoi's wife.
A- Yes Mom and about other rituals, we can do it tomorrow in our flat.
J- yes that's good. We will be there at your flat tomorrow.
Shivaay and Anika nods their head.
They were about to leave when Anika bends down to touch TejVi's feet but they stopped her and hugged her and Shivaay.
Tejvi- Stay blessed. Love you both.
Shivika- Love you too, Mom. Dad.
Tejvi left for Oberoi Mansion and Shivika left for their flat.
When they reached the flat, Anika was shocked to see something.
A- Shivaay, what is this?
Shivaay scratched his nape and smiled.
S- Actually I asked OmRu to get a name plate for our flat and they said that our ship name will be cool so I agreed and here it is. Did you like it?
A- Yes. It's so khidkitod. Shivaay, let's take a selfie with this name plate. I want to remember this moment forever.
S- Okay.
They took a selfie and smiled to their fullest.
A- Ok. Let's go inside. I am very tired.
Anika was about to step inside the house, when Shivaay shouted.
S- WAIT.
Anika gets scared and looks at Shivaay horrified.
A- What happened?
S- I mean wait here. I'll just come.
Anika gets confused.
A- But...
S- Shhh.... Don't come inside, otherwise you'll sleep on terrace today.
Anika rolls her eyes at him. Shivaay immediately went inside.
After 5 minutes, Anika was tired of waiting.
A- Shivaay, are you there or you slept after making me stand at the doorstep. 😂
S- Wait. I am coming.
Shivaay came outside with a glass filled with raw rice and a plate filled with red water paint.
Anika was surprised after looking all this.
A- What is this, Shivaay?
S- Jaan, it's your first time that you are entering our home after our marriage, so it's obvious that I'll do some post wedding rituals. I know it your first marriage..
Anika chuckles and hits him on his shoulder. Shivaay also chuckles.
S- I mean mine too so this was necessary. Now come on push this glass with your right foot and then put your feet in this paint and imprint your footprints on the floor.
Anika smiles with teary eyes.
Anika pushes the glass and rice grains poured on the floor, then she gently put her feet in the paint and Shivaay immediately held her hand so that she doesn't slip. Anika imprints her footprints on the floor.
As soon as she entered the house, Shivaay scooped her in his arms and took her towards sofa and made her sit.
He then grabbed some tissues and was about to take her feet in his hands when Anika stopped him.
A- Shivaay what are you doing?
S- I am just cleaning your feet.
A- Shivaay, you can't touch my feet. It's prohibited. Husbands don't touch wife's feet.
S- Why?
A- Because husbands are considered as God.
S- Really, if I am God then you are my Goddess and I will touch your feet.
A- Shivaay...
S- Anika please. In our relationship, no one is God or a devotee. We are human beings and we are equal. I have seen many women touching their husband's feet so it should also be prohibited. If a wife can touch her husband's feet, then a husband can also touch his wife's feet otherwise both are not allowed to touch each other's feet. Are you convinced or should I speak more?
Tears of happiness started falling from her eyes. Shivaay immediately wiped her tears.
S- Now why are you crying? You know I don't like your tears.
A- I am just overwhelmed. I can't express my feelings. You know you are my best friend and bestest hubby in the world. I am so glad to have you with me.
Anika hugged him tightly and Shivaay reciprocated the hug.
After sometime, Shivaay broke the hug and sat down on the floor and took Anika's feet in his lap.
S- Now let me clean your feet otherwise you will get rashes.
Anika nods her head with a smile and Shivaay started wiping her feet with tissues.
After cleaning her feet, Shivaay went to wash his hands while Anika went towards bedroom to change her clothes.
After sometime, she came out of washroom in her night dress. She saw that Shivaay has already changed his clothes.
She went towards the bed and sat down beside him.
S- Should I prepare something for both of us? You must be hungry.
Shivaay was about to get up when Anika held his hand and kept her head on his shoulder.
A- Order something from outside. Even you are also tired.
Shivaay nods his head and ordered the food.
They were sitting in each other's embrace silently.
A- Shivaay, I wanted to talk something to you.
S- Hmmm, Baby.
A- Actually.... Ummmm.... Wo....
S- what happened baby?
A- Shivaay, actually the thing is that I don't want to disclose our marriage to anyone in the college except our friends. I know that I shouldn't take decisions alone because now everything belongs to us, even our decisions. But it's just that I want to make my own identity, I don't want people to see me as Shivaay Singh Oberoi's wife, but as Anika only.
Shivaay was looking at her silently and Anika thought that he felt bad because of her decision.
A- But if you want to disclose about our marriage, then its completely fine. Your views are also important for me and I know that I am sounding stupid now after telling my decision.
Anika says while lowering her eyes. Shivaay immediately cupped her face and made her look at him.
S- I am proud of you Anika. Never ever think that your decision was stupid. Few minutes ago you said that now everything belongs to us, even our decisions, so how can you think that I won't support your decisions. If you want then we will not disclose our marriage. Happy?
A- Very happy.
Anika hugged him tightly and Shivaay also hugged her back.
Their moment was broken by the doorbell.
S- The food is here. Let me go and take it.
Anika nods her head and Shivaay left to receive the food.
After having their meal, they drifted to sleep in each other's embrace.
