"Hi, Bhaiya" she said smiling

Shivaay just silently came into the room

Vanya's eyes were silently following him walking round the room

"Bhaiya, I am sorr-"

"Sorry, right" Shivaay said, the anger in his tone clearly evident

"Bhaiya"

"Tumey hamsey problem tha toh pata deythi, hum khud janey deytey..." he said trying to control his anger

"Aisey bhaagney ki kya jarurat hai?" He asked

"Mai bhaag nahi rahithi"

"TOH KYA DANCE KARNEY GAI THI BAHAR, JAAB TUMEY PATA HAI BAHAR TUMEY KHATRA HAI, TOH JARURAT KYA THI?" He yelled

Shivanya just looked down at her hands

"And honestly how did you end up here with a wound?" He asked after 10 minutes of silence

*knock knock*

"Come in" Shivanya said without any second thought

It was police officer

"Mr.Oberoi, aap yaha?" Is the forst thing he asked

"Ek second jiss ladhki keyliyeh aap shamsey dund rhathey woh yeh hai?" He added

'Hayeh... mere papa ney kya kya kardiya' she looked at him in shock

"Yes officer, can you leave us alone?" He asks

"I am sorry sir, leykin mujey inka statement leyna hai" officer replied

"Statement?"

"Ha, aap andar aiyeh" Shivanya said

As the police officer sat in the chair he just asked to explain her side of story

"What is going on?" Shivaay asked

"Aapko bhi yeh suney ki jarurat hai bhaiya" she said

"Mai mumbai mai nayi ayi hu, inkey company mai kaam karthi hu. Aaj jaab mujey evening ghar return hona tha aur aap andar gayeh they mai ek chakkar laga key ana chathi thi. But, i am bad with directions pata nahi kaha sey kaha ponch gai. Directions puchney keylieyh waha koyi tha bhi nahi aur at last mujey woh lady dikhi jissey koyi 5 loog harass karney ki try karahi they, i saved her but one guy tried to kill me jaab dusri ladhki jinoney aapko bulaya hai woh agai aur meri jaan bachai" she said it in one go

"That's it" she added at last

"Toh yeh maar?" The police asked

"Jaab woh loog bhaag rahaithey ek admi ney bat vutha key pheka jo merey saar ma lagi hai"

"Ok ma'am, hope you have a speedy recovery" he said getting up

"Aapko aur koyi information nahi chaiyeh?" She asked

"Excuse me?"

"Woh ladhkey kaisey dikhtey hai, vunki gadhi ki number?"

"Ha...yes, appney kuch deykha toh pata dijiyeh?" He asked half hearted

"Nai sorry" she said understanding him

"Ok...again hope you have a safe recovery " he said but this time it sounded like a warning

As soon as he left, silence filled the room again

Shivaay sat at the foot of the bed

"Sorry for shouting earlier..mujey pata nahi tha" he said

"No, its okay agar mai aapki place mai hoti i would have done the same" she replied

"Obviously you would have, junior" he said

"Toh gussa over?" She asked

"Not really"

"Don't worry hojayehga"

Shivaay just stared at her before giving light patt on her cheek

"Aapney woh ladhki jissney meri JAAN BACHAI hai vunsey miley" She asked emphasizing the words

"Nai"

"Merey liyeh kuch laney gayeh hai" the door flung open the moment she completed her sentence

"Tum samos-" Anika's voice fell as her eyes met Shivaay's

Silence.....

Silence which spoke millions of unspoken words

"Umm..bhaiya yehi hai jissney meri jaan bachai hai" she introduced breaking the silence

But Shivaay showed no response, his eyes were fixed onto Anika

"Bh-bhaiya" she called again giving him a little nudge

"Ha" he said looking back at Shivanya

Anika looked back and forth between Shivaay and Shivanya, before coming to place the plate onto side table and turn around to leave

"Arey suniyeh toh" She said getting of the bed but unfortunately she lost balance and was about to fall good thing both Shivaay and Anika were present to catch her

"Sambal key" Anika said as she regained her balance and sat back onto the bed

Some where in between the process, Shivaay and Anika held hands they haven't let go yet

When they realized how their hands were intertwined, both looked at each other only to get lost in each other eyes again

Shivanya looked back and forth between them with a silly smile remembering her childhood

The positions were such that Shivaay and Anika's intertwined hand is right before Shivanya, who will be the one reminding their love for each other
