Classroom

Teacher: This time the homework is a group project. Group up with whoever you like and efficiently use each other's strengths.
Remember, group projects are all about team work.

Mallika: Annika, can we be a group?

Anika: really? yeah, of course.
The more group members, the merrier. Umm... Classmates, anyone interested to be in the same team with me and Mallika?
(POV~I announce in the class)

Boy1: "me, me, me!"
(Tia whispers something to him and then he refuses to join the group)

(POV~why is everyone acting like this? Or could it just be my bad luck?)

I am busy in my own thoughts when Mallika whispers to me...
Mallika: They are behaving like this because of Shivay's fear. Since you angered Shivay, and he challenged you, so the others don't want to be in the same group as you, in order to avoid any trouble.

Anika: Then why do you still want to be in the same group as me?

Mallika: because we are friends! 😊

Annika: Thank you! You are the best! 🤗

Mallika: Besides... you like to study, i like to sleep. we fit absolutely perfectly. 😁

Anika: Okay! Sleeping Beauty!

Library

Annika's POV:-
At the library I gave some work papers to Mallika to make another copy, then after i gave it to her, she immediately leaves to get them printed.

Meanwhile OmRu are hiding from Anika.
They are head to bring Anika along with them to Shivay, because he has planned something for her.

Rudra: hey Om, I don't understand one thing, why is Shivay targeting her?

Om: Ya! He is behaving a bit wierd. But leave this... Let's focus on what we are here for.

Rudra: You don't understand Om! every day we have to think of a new way of bullying her; And moreover we can't repeat the same trick twice!

Om: Aawwwww! Too much work for you pea sized brain 🧠 right??
(Om smacks Rudra on the head saying "Duffer"😅)

Om approaches Annika from behind and taps on her shoulder.
Anika: Why are you here?
(While she's asking Rudra grabs her laptop from behind and says,...
Rudra: "i'm here too! bye, bye!"
And makes a run for his life)

Anika(shouts and runs behind them): hey! give it back to me!

This Tom and jerry chase ends up in Shivay's garage (personal adda)

Anika: give it back!.... give it back!

Anika's pov: I follow those two dumb fellows just to get my laptop back when I finally see the Devil ~ Sadu Shivay!

Anika: Shivay! I knew it was you.
Look, I don't have time to play around with you. give me my laptop back!

Shivay(innocently): the laptop isn't in my hand. if you want it, take it yourself.

(Anika's POV: this Tadibaaz, it's obvious that he must have only asked these two to trouble me but here he is, acting all innocent)

Anika: Mr. Oberoi! I would like to know what can i do so that you will give my laptop back?
(I try to speak as sweet as possible)

Shivay:no problem! It's very simple actually. I'll even give you two choices.
First choice, continue to suffer.
Second choice, leave this Academy!

Anika: I'm sorry. i'm not choosing either of those options

Rudra: So you're not choosing either?

"good lucky then !", Om says and then he gives me a thumbs up as if giving me best wishes. I stand there totally confused.

Shivay: I will give you a third choice then!
(He says and hands me over a contract paper.)

Anika: master and servant contract?

Shivay: Go ahead! Read it! After all it was perfectly tailored for you.

📜📜📜📜📜📜📜📜📜📜📜📜📜📜📜
The Master and Servant Contract
Ms. Annika, as Shivay Singh Oberoi's servant must act accordingly to the following rules:-
1) Must be present immediately when called. Not allowed to be late, cannot make up excuses, and must not ask any questions.
2) Must fulfill any commands the owner makes and must complete the given tasks happily.
3) Maintain absolute loyalty towards the owner.
4) When the owner is bored, the servant must unconditionally entertain the owner.
5) The servant has no right to bargain with the owner.
📜📜📜📜📜📜📜📜📜📜📜📜📜📜📜

Anika: Mr Oberoi, do you live in an illegal underground society? Or are your few screws loose? (Kya aapke screw dheele hain?)

Shivay: All I know is getting into St. Teresa isn't an easy thing. Besides, being the owner I do have some powers that I can exercise anytime.
(He is indirectly trying to threaten her by telling her that he has the power to get her thrown out of the school)

*Flash Back*

Anika: I know dad that you have worked very hard to get me into St. Teresa. I will definitely study diligently and I won't let you down"
Shakti: don't be stressed. I just want to try to provide you the best. So that you can have a bright future ahead.

Pinky: It's okay as long as you study well, and stay focused. Don't worry Anika, I know you can do it!

Shakti: Also be careful of your image.

*Flash back ends*

Anika: Shivay, are there any misunderstandings between us? And if there are, let's just talk it out.

(He just ignores what she says and is busy drinking water)

Anika: wow! just now when I was coming in, I saw a really good-looking car! Just from a glance I could tell that it was made by someone very skilled!

Rudra: Are you trying to butter him?
(Aap mere bhai ko Makhan Lagane ki koshish tom nhi kar rhi hain na)

Om: Isn't it a bit too late?

Anika: You! all I say comes from the bottom of my heart!
(Nhi nhi! Ye tareef to mere dil se nikal rhi hai)

Rudra: Forget it, just sign the contract. If you sign it, we'll let you go.
(Om gives her a pen to sign the contract. )

(Anika POV: FOOLS!! All are fools here! And this Shivay! What does he think of himself ! TADIBAAZ! SADU! KANJI ANKHON WAALA BAAGAD BILLA!!

And Bhagwan Ji! Why are you so unfair to me! Always put me in trouble. If it wasn't for mom and Dad, I would have surely taught man a lesson here only)

Annika signs the contract in frustration.

Shivay(smirking): See, isn't it just so simple? 😏

Anika grabs her laptop and simply walks away in anger.

Shivay (holds the contract and looks at her signatures): Or is it!?!

~Shivay smirks and Does his Famous signature step!

🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

What next ?
What do you think?
How is Shivay going to use this contract against her?

Stay tuned to know more...
And feel free to ask me any questions regarding the story at any point 🙂

Also, I would like to know if you're comfortable with me adding a little Hindi Dialogues here and there, like I did today; to give the story it's Ishqbaaz touch.😁
