Cheating Hearts | VanixShivika

Chapter 7

Bani and Annika got busy in their respective jobs. It was a big deal for both of them. Annika wanted to connect and prove herself in the modelling industry. Bani was just starting out and trying to position herself without her husband's name first. She got a little emotional thinking Veeranshu would not fly down to support her now.

B: Kitna bada din hai ye mere liye....humne kitne sapne dekhe they...I really want you with me...pr tum-

She wiped her lone tear and shook her head. She must focus on this for now.

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

The event was a huge success. The whole team congratulated itself backstage and once the guests left, the after party began for the team. Annika and Bani mingled for a bit but then met each other at the cabin- trying to devise a plan carefully when both their phones pinged simultaneously.

The girls shared a look before seeing it was from their respective partners. They opened hers. Annika opened her text and read what Shivaay had wrote to her. It was an elaborate message explaining how hurt he was. It was really mean and disgusting what she had done according to him and that he was ending things completely between them. Whatever he said in the morning was what he truly felt. Annika's lip wobbled and she bit it to prevent the sob to escape. She looked up and saw Bani had a far look in her eyes.

A: Bani?

B: He said "Jo tumne kiya is not cool. I want a divorce! Never want to see you again"

A: Bs?

B: BS! My marriage is ending! Aur kya?!?! Bs!?

A: Arey shant ho jao...I meant SSO ne poora nibandh likh diya h...tumhe sirf ek line-

B: Veeranshu is more direct...but that is not the point. He does not want to see me ever..I guess the same goes for your man!...How can they not even give us a chance to say?

C: Bhabhi!?

Chandini entered the cabin. Bani rolled her eyes and muttered- 'Not for long!'. Chandini got confused and asked about it.

B: He just texted me regarding divorce.

A: Vo dono humari sunna hi nahi chahte...

C: Thik hai...to mt sunao unhe..

A: Mtlb hum apne relations tutne de..

B: Nahi nahi...actually Chandini is right...ab hum unhe nahi batayenge kuch bhi..

A: Pr-

B: We'll make sure they get to know the truth but we'll play with them for a bit...sach unhe pta chalega pr humse nahi..

A: Pr for kaise?

Bani ratted off something to Annika and Chandini, the girls smirked.

A: Aur baad ke liye mere pass aur shaandar plan hai..

She giggled. The girls decided that the boys deserved to be wrapped up in a little mind game. Annika took her phone typed a message to Shivvay. Bani did the same.

Bani: Suit yourself! I don't care! Couldn't spare me a second to talk, could you? Now I don't want to explain either, Bye

Anika: Whatever!

They hit send and huddled closer to Chandini for a selfie.

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

Shivaay and Veeranshu were sitting at his home. They had huge empires to run but the men did not have the heart or mind to do it. Suddenly there phones pinged.

S: I got a message! Annika said- Whatever! WHAT!! She doesn't care I am ending things..

V: haahaha...why will she value a relationship fling over marriage...she wrote to me-..ek second!

Shivaay looked over his shoulder and laughed.

S: Seems like the marriage isn't for long.

V: You! Sb tumhari wajah se hua hai..

S: Hey hey hey! Relax! We decided we'll not fight for a woman who played us. We just pushed her to see who she'd actually have feeling for...seems like we both mean nothing to her. 

They felt upset.

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

Annika landed Delhi and called Bani.

B: Reached?

A: Haan...ek baar apna saman le lu..parson milte hai wapis..

B: Okay. Stay safe and stay away from meeting Shivaay.

A: okay.

Bani took a picture in front of the event banner. She checked the time and posted it on her socials with a gratitude message, thanking all who supported her. Annika, in Delhi, posted a picture of herself at the Delhi Airport.

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

In Mumbai, Shivaay couldn't sleep. The pain of heartache quiet fresh and strong. His phone pinged. He had an alert whenever Annika would post. He saw the picture of her at Delhi Airport.

S: Annika Delhi aa gayi hai wapis?! Should I go and talk to her once?! Nahi! We ended things...but-

He was feeling conflicted.

S: Neend to mujhe ayegi nahi...aur kb tk Veer ke sath rahunga. I anyways need to pull my life together and go back to my life in Delhi..

He rushed out and ran into Veer.

V: Shivaay? Is time kahan jaa raha h?

S: Delhi- vo Annika just posted that she landed..uhen! no...I mean I don't care...vo pr mai yahan kb tk?

V: Listen, doesn't matter! You can stay. Anyways, Bani posted too, she is still in Bangalore.

S: impossible!

Just then his phone rang. It was Gauri- his brother's wife.

S: Hello?

G: Hello! Badebhaiya! Apka aur Annika Ji ka jhagda hua hai ka?

S: Um...tumhe kisne kaha?

G: Vo hone-wali bhaujayi ghar aayi hai aur unka jo bhi saman hai ghar me...vo le rahi hai..Maine pucha toh jawab nahi de rahi..

S: vo let her be...don't worry. Bye

He ended the call.

S: Vo Delhi me hi hai...My sister-in-law called. Annika is taking her stuff..

V: but- wait-

He opened his phone to check Bani's location. It clearly showed Bangalore. He shoved his phone in Shivaay's face. Shivaay frowned and checked on his phone. It showed Delhi.

V: What?! This doesn't add up...

The men sat down confused and trying to formulate a reasonable explanation. Their partners miles away- sleeping in peace.
