A Shivika Series : Jab-Hum

Jab Hum Mile

This is a different story of Shivaay and Anika. In this both of them are from super rich family with naam, khoon and khandan but the both of them do not believe in this. They prefer to be just Shivaay and Anika. Their parents want them to contribute and join in the family businesses, but they are still exploring themselves. They are both doing their MBA in different universities.

Anika and Shivaay will be living in their own apartments away from their family. In fact, Shivaay is in a live-in relationship with his girlfriend and Anika is quite serious about her current boyfriend. As fate would have it, the both of them had a bitter break-up. Anika would find her boyfriend cheating on her with some other girl meanwhile Shivaay's girlfriend would only be with him for his money.

Both the heart-broken Shivaay and Anika would be going for a 'Dil-tutti-cutti' (heart-break holiday) to Europe. The both of them would board the same plane to Rome from Delhi. Their trip would begin in Rome and end in Ireland.

In the plane, the guy sitting next to Anika would be looking at her in a lusty way. She would try to ignore him and sleep but he would run his finger on her hand causing her to loose all the patience remaining in her. She'll call upon the air hostess and have her seat changed. She would be given the seat next to Shivaay. Shivaay would be seen wearing eye mask and resting his head near the window. Anika would sit next to him and started to curse out all the guys in the world being pervert and seek only pleasure from woman. Shivaay would be listening to all this. And at one point, he will decide to talk back to her.

'Excuse me! Not all guys are like that! There are some who are sincere and genuine. Not like you women who are gold-diggers'.

This reply of Shivaay angered Anika further causing her to talk more and defend the women folk. Their noise will be irritating to the other passengers and the air hostess will request both Anika and Shivaay to remain silent. The both of them will just stare at each other fuming in anger.

In a while, the air-hostess started serving food to them. While eating, a thought struck them both. Both of them turned to face each other and utter the same question in unison 'TUMNE AISA KYUN KAHAN?'

Then both turned away from each other and again in unison said 'I HAD A BITTER BREAK-UP'. They both then looked at each other again. They asked each other what happened. Once, the both of them are done depicting their tragic break up, each developed a soft corner for each other. They were talking to each other through out the flight and find lots of similarities between them.

Once the flight has landed, they parted their ways by saying good-bye. Shivaay noticed Anika having trouble at the immigration clearance due to language barrier. He stepped in as her knight in shinning armour and helped her clear the immigration. Soon after Shivaay helped Anika with her luggage and once they are out of the airport, they parted their ways again, but even before Anika could get in her cab, she saw Shivaay being a victim of snatch theft. His wallet and phone were taken.

Shivaay was not able to do anything. All he could do was to stand there and watch the thief run away. He was in a deep shock that he couldn't even shout at the thief.

Anika who saw this came running to him shouting 'Chor!!! Chor!!!, Shivaay, how do I say chor in Italian?', asked Anika once she came up to the spot where Shivaay was standing. He turned to look at her but was not telling anything still. Anika looked at him all confused. She waved her hand in front of his eyes to get him back.

He got all teary eyed and said "I'm gone". Anika was like huh? But Shivaay was still in a trance of the snatch-theft. Anika hold him by his shoulder and shaked him. Shivaay was finally out of the trance and told her that he's got no money at all and his phone was also snatched. Anika tells him that she saw everything and brings him to the police station to lodge a report and contact his family.
