QUERENCIA

18.WILL YOU BE MY FRIEND?

"It was really nice to have lunch with you.", said Jahnvi to Annika. She was impressed with Annika. Her nature, her maturity and the tinge of childness has taken her heart. Within a day Annika became everyone's favourite.

"Even I have enjoyed my time with you all. You all are really amazing people.", she said with a serene smile. She was really happy sitting with them, they all were treating her as their family, which made her a bit emotional. Even before lunch what Shivaay said swoon her heart. She can never imagine that mighty Shivaay Singh Oberoi can say such words, "I will learn it for you." Somewhat she feels she affects Shivaay but she is scared to accept it, maybe avoiding rejections.

Whereas Shivaay was also dazed, why did he say those words to her? It's not that he didn't mean it, he is cent percent sure that he will learn it, in fact he messaged Khanna to get the music notes of 'Tum hi ho' song by tonight.

"Ok dadi, I guess I should leave now. It's really late.", she said with a small smile.

"Puttar, do your parents or siblings are coming to pick you?" dadi asked.

Hearing this her smile faded but soon she covered it , "Ahm no dadi I will book a cab."

But Shivaay noticed her face and he knows something is not correct, he remembered when Annika talked about her father's bike even that time her face showed a wave of sadness and at her home no one was there. At that moment he realised he knew so little about her, yet something of her attracted him.

He came out of his thoughts when he heard his dadi insisting her taking the driver with her.

"If you want Annika I can drop you", Shivaay asked her.

"No..no Shivaay I am completely fine, even I need to pick my car from your office."

"But you are not allowed to drive till the stitches are removed. And regarding your car I will ask someone to drop it at your home. So don't worry about it."

"Arrey but Shivaay, sab pareshan ho jayenge.", she tries to make him understand.

They kept arguing while the whole family was watching them with open mouths.

"Maine bhaiya ko itna bolte hue kabhi nahi dekha", Rudra whispered and the whole family members nodded their heads in shock, trying to understand what was happening here.

"Ok enough both of you, kitna ladte ho tum dono" Dadi stopped both of them.

"Dadi, he was arguing with me." Annika said, pointing towards him.

"Oh really like you haven't said a single word." He gave it back to her.

Before Annika could say something dadi stopped them again.

"Puttar, where is your home?" dadi asked Annika.

"Dadi,Versova." she replied.

"Rudra you are going there na for some work.", dadi asked, looking at him.

"Ya have a meeting regarding investment." he said

"Do one thing, you drop her." dadi suggested.

Rudra nodded his head in agreement.

"No Rudra, I will drop her. You focus on your meeting.", Shivaay objected.

"No bhaiya it is fine with me, in fact I can take some tips from Annika di as she has started her start up too, it's done, come didi I will drop you. Just give me a minute and I will get my files." Rudra said, going towards his room. Shivaay made a grumpy face hearing him as Rudra left no room for argument.
