Ishqbaaz FF -Ae Mere Dil Hai Mushkil

Because Of You

"Anika, why are leaving?"Shivaay said as he confusingly looked at Anika.

She was facing the inevitable.

Contemplating her fate Anika just looked at the floor, unsure whether to tell him or keep quiet.

She however, didn't seem to be aware of the fact that he had moved towards her cornering her.

Ding!

The door opened and never has the sound of the elevator door opening sound so good but when she looked up her eyes met his.

"Look, I don't care about..." Shivaay started.

"The reason......" Anika interjected.

Shivaay waited for her to fill in the blanks, answering all the questions that gave him many sleepless nights.

"Is he bothering you?" a voice asked from behind them.

Anika's eyes widened when she heard that voice.

"It's a personal matter", Shivaay said not even bothering to turn around.

"Ranveer!" Anika gasped.

"I mean Mr Randhawa", Anika said coming out from behind Shivaay.

"Shivaay, please don't make a scene" her eyes pleaded with him as he's eyes went darker piercing her.

Shivaay looked at Anika who looked very uncomfortable in the situation.

He tilted his head sideway as he looked back at her curiously, they didn't need words; he understood.

"Shivaay Singh Oberoi" he said sticking out his hand towards an ominous looking man staring back at them with utter disgust on his face.

Anika tried to swallow the lump that formed in the back of her throat, but it just bobbed back up every time.

"Anika, you ok?"Ranveer asked as he came closer to her but she just stepped away from them towards the door.

Her past and her future just met, she needed get away from all the tension and awkwardness.

She could feel their eyes on her back which was confirmed by reflexions of them on the door surface.

"So how do you know Ani, I mean Anika", Ranveer asked.

Shivaay almost lost it.

"She worked for me", he affirmed his tone of voice was cold, Shivaay didn't even think of how his answers sounded.

Anika wrench at his answer.

"Anika and I go way back, right Ani" Ranveer said.

As she stepped to the door a three young men entered the elevator just as it closed, leaving Anika strapped with them.

Anika hurriedly pushed the next available floor she was willing to take the stairs anything to get away.

"Hello there, beautiful", one of the guys said to Anika causing her to retreat back between Ranveer and Shivaay.

"You look lovely", another said.

Ranveer instinctively put his arm around Anika, as to show them that she was with him.

But the moment his hand touched her, the only response her mind comprehended was hold Shivaay's hand.

The guys found it strange here this girl was standing in the middle of two guys; with one having his arm around her but she is holding the others hand.
