Dil Bole Ishqbaaz

Part 3

They both turned back and got shocked seeing Anika.
She walked towards them.
'Kise goorne ki baath kar rahe the tum Rudra?' she asked raising an eyebrow.
'Are bhabhi..main Sweth ke bare men baath kar raha tha..'
Shivaay stampedd his foot.
'Sweth?' Anika asked.
'Nahi...Sweat. Haan...Sweat..Rudra ye keh raha tha ki er.....vo Om ke room ki ac kharab hua tho.....vo sweating karne laga..auur....'
He was searching for words.
'Chulbul.' Rudra said.' Chulbul O ko goor raha tha.'
He said covering up for Shivaay.
Shivay nodded his head.
Anika looked at him doubtfully.
'Kya sach mein yahi baath hai ya...'
'Are...aur kya hogi Anika. Thum na khamakha apna dimag dauda rahi ho.
Vaise mujhe bohoth neend aa raha hai... main jaa raha hoon.'
He left to his room.
Anika was standing and staring at Rudra.
'Acha...bhabhi main bhi chalta hoon..'
He hurriedly left from there.
         *****

Anika reached the room but didnt find Shivaay.
She wondered where he had gone. She waited for him.
After some 10 minutes or so he entered.
She was about to ask him where he was but she stopped. Shivaay was lost somewhere and it was as if he had a big shock.
'Kya hua Shivaay?"
He didnt respond.
'Shivaay'
'Huh?..haa..vo main..kuch nahi. Tum so jao'
'Pakka??'she asked.
He nodded.
She really wanted to know what was in his mind. She became a bit disappointed that he did not tell her.
But she chose not to disturb him and slept thinking of all the possibilities that might have caused his uneasiness.

NEXT MORNING

Anika woke up and saw that Shivaay was still sleeping.
He hađ wrinkles in his forehead and was still tensed. She decidd to let him rest and went.
Shivaay was still struggling with the sleep when suddenly something huge fell on him with a thud.
'Ouch...'
He shouted.
'Rudra.... pagal ho gaye ho kya...Vaise bhi kal rat neend nahi aya tha.'
Shivaay murmered.
'Apko bhi neend nahi ayi..Mujhe bhi. Main kal poori raat so nahi paya.
Hamare O ke baare mein sochke. Zindagi bhi kya khel khel rahi hai uske saath.'
Rudra continued his blabberings.
'Shut up Rudra.'
Saying this he stood up from the bed and he was about to go.
'Bhaiya..Idea...Hum abhi O se jaake pooch lenge.'
Saying this he dragged Shivaay to Om's room. Shivaay protested but Rudra didnt care.
He reached Om's room and pushed open the door.
'Fhat The Wuck!!!'
They cried in unison.
The scene infront of them gave the biggest jhatka of their life.
Om was sleeping in the bed hugging Chulbul and she was cuddling to him.
They both were sleeping peacefully.
'Maa da laadla....' sang rudra faking a cry..
'...bigad gaya.' Shivaay completed.
