When It rains (Continuing in The new book)

Part 11A

She stepped in her bedroom, and went towards the closet. After choosing a top and palazzo for the comfort, She was about to close it when something took her attention away.
Whats it? a gift? for me? after brushing the thoughts off, she opened it and got surprised to see a beautiful peach pink Saree inside the box,
She took the note out,which was kept hidden inside the pleats.

"For you,
hope you are gonna like to wear it on some special day"

She smiled at the sender though he was not present there in the room, and praised his taste of colour. After all He is Shivaay Singh Oberoi, He had to be aware of everyone's choice, specially who were important to him. Be it his Family or Friend or a RIVAL.

Still She could not forget that familiar touch when Shankar held her waist for learning the steps.

"Chalo chalo ab" Shakeeb chacha faked anger and made her hurry.

Shivaay placed his hand under a portrait to hold it properly, and traced the persons inside the photo with his finger and remembered something. Although the photograph was the old one, More or less five to six decades old, but was being kept with utmost care.

"My Dadaji and my family with their friends" Anika spoke in a low tone from behind.
Shivaay turned back, "Hmm.. I guessed it already"
"You are supposed to wait there on the sofa, but..."
"I thought to stroll around the room to see these beautiful photographs as I felt bored. Its your ancestral house?"
"No, just our rest house, We used to stay here whenever we had visited Kashmir"
"Mittals are one of the richest, indeed...but not more than Oberois... We owned three hotels and two bunglow houses in Kashmir valley, and one in" He was all set to give the accounts of their family guest houses,mansions and all but his voice trailed off as He saw her bursting out in laughter.
She looked more cute when she laughs. He thought
