Shivika - the love of my life (completed)

Back to square one

Anika and Shivaay reached Goa Guesthouse.

Shivaay: Anika, wait here I will be back in a minute.

Anika: We just landed here and you started abandoning me. Oh lord, what will happen to me in these 3 months?

Shivaay: oh god, you are such a drama queen. Stay in the car until I call you, then come okay??

Anika frowns and stays in the car until he calls her. She was overwhelmed to see shivaay waiting for her in the door entrance with an aarti plate to welcome her.  

Anika: oh wait let me click a picture of you with this.

Shivaay: Anika, no! give me your phone. Or delete that photo.

Anika: In your dreams!!

She runs around the house like a child and he is no lesser, a pampered child. After several rounds around the house, they run out of breath and settle down near a cushion facing each other.

Shivaay: Anika..(Breaths heavily due to running activity). I will make you a vada pao, that to same like the roadside. Just delete that photo.

Anika: No... this photo is priceless.

Shivaay: Vada Pao plus a head massage whenever you ask for...

She couldn't control the urge to eat that vada poa and the whenever clause has brought more fun to it.

Anika: Done.

Shivaay smirked and went back to unpack his stuff while Anika toured the entire house. 

Anika: Shivaay!!! ( shouts from the bottom)

Shivaay: What happened Anika?

Anika: We have a beach nearby our house, can we go?

Shivaay:  we have just landed and you have already started your holiday plan. Anika, we can't go out there like this, that too in daylight?

Anika: haa, what? Are we thief to roam around night? Oh, Shivaay is your business even legal?

Shivaay: What?  I have been named Top 10 businessman of India that too for last 5 consecutive years.

Anika: oh, so? 

Shivaay: Common,!! We can't go out without security. And the one near is too dangerous. It's a common beach, and people will be there.

Anika: Who else should be on the beach? Cats? Tiger? . Wait if you are kind of allergic to beach tell me, I won't judge. It's just that one more on the list of allergy to mustard, sugar, jasmine perfume, coconut oil, dirt, .. sorry I ran out of your allergy list. I will go alone to the beach

Shivaay frowned but he couldn't help but fall in love with this girl. 

Shivaay: Neither of us is going and it's final. Go unpack your stuff 

Anika: Boring... Rudy was right, you can be really boring.

Shivaay: What? Did Rudy say that?

Before Anika can reply, the lights went off due to a power cut. She ran towards Shivaay and hugged him out of fear. He caressed her hair and slowly whispered "Hey...I am here . Don't worry". But she was still hesitant to open her eyes. Shivaay slowly kissed her forehead as she slightly opened her eyes to look at him. Her hands were around him and her face a few inches from his. He ran his hand from hair to her waist and ...

Lights came and she moved in a jiff from the room. 

Later at night, they were not looking at each other until Shivaay entered the room.

Shivaay: Shall we sleep?

Anika: um..eer....(she is still living the previous moment and is not sure what to do) Yeah...I was looking for the bedsheet.

She took a bedsheet and tried moving out.

Shivaay: Where are you going?

Anika: to sleep.

Shivaay: yes, this is our room.

Anika: There is another room in this house

Shivaay: I heard that power cuts are common here in Goa, that too at the night.Your wish

Anika was in a dilemma, if she sleeps here she has to share the bed with Bhagad billa, if she leaves for the next room there might be a powercut. But she chose her Bhagad billa.

They both took their respective corners. It was different for both of them.

Shivaay's POV

____________

Why is it weird? She is my wife. I know she once loved me like anything. I wish I could reverse back to that day when Daksh proposed to her.     I would have hit the hell out of him and married her the way she deserved.   No no don't overthink,  You are doing good Shivaay.  Just focus, complete this deal and take her back to the Oberoi mansion, she deserves to live like a queen. I didn't marry her to leave her. No matter what I will win her heart back. It's simple just tell her that you love her.

Shivaay: Anika... I Love You. Not today but I wanted to tell it 5 months back.  I can't express myself like others easily. I might sound rude at times or most of the time but .. but I don't know... If you were a deal, then I would sign you no matter the cost. I would bet my life on that deal. I know this doesn't sound like it in the movies .. but you get it right??

Shivaay: Anika!........ Anika!!

She was sleeping like Kumbakarnan. A small smile rose on his face looking at her. Yes, she was right, small small things bring us happiness.
