When It rains (Continuing in The new book)

Part 24B

A blushing smile crept over her face, making her cheeks profusely turn to a light shade of crimson.
"Stop it Vikram, You are my friend and you have no right to tease me..ok?" Her voice was filled with an empty threatening.
"Arey.. I thought only we Friends are privileged to pull one's leg like this" Vikram winked. Although he was on the other side of the line, Anika felt he had winked,
"Stop winking or Your devil Eyes will be damned, I tell you" She spat,
"Okay Okay, meri Maa, I never knew You have become a pro at visualise faraway happenings, even if it is over the phone, But tell me, really how it feels to be the object of Somebody's obsession...Kkkkkkkk kiran oops Aaaaaa Anika" He chuckled on phone mimicking Shah rukh Khan's character from the movie Darr.
Anika stood there stilled as if a sharp feel of pain had cut her to her heart
..............
She always feared to be under somebody's control or be other's obsession. So when Vikram uttered those words making Her realise the truth, She felt her world was not hers only from the time, her choice of doing things in her life was being controlled by someone else, It could not be love, yes Love! From the time She felt solace in his arms on that ungodly Night of rain and Thunders, She felt the feelings of being loved. The back hug, that warmth She was wrapped in earlier that day, She had felt the same sensation of being ecstatic yet peaceful and an undeniable sense of being important to the man.
Important! Now She doubted whether it was really 'being important', because after hearing from Vikram, She could only term it as being objected to somebody's obsession. Could it be put in the category of Obsession or It was more than that? Might be Vengeance or something else, Anika was not aware in this world.
She was shaken to the core at this realisation.
"I will call you later" She hung up

The medicine finally worked.
Shivaay stopped in his track as if The name Anika had some spell to stop people from moving an inch. Actually Not applied to all the people, But to this very Kanji Aankh wale Billu, Om smirked victoriously at his own successful attempt.
.........
Om took some gentle steps to reach him, and cleared the throat
"I need to talk to you about Anika"
His bluish green eyes shaded into grey like the cloudy afternoon of a gloomy day.
"But I dont want"
"Then why did you stop in your way after listening to her name"
"I had not" Shivaay turned to leave but,
"But You did, dont lie, She affects you" Om sighed, "We have still some time, We can change our plan if you want, I could see how much it caused pain to both of you during the ceremony, Even You had left the place"
"I left because I got a call from Mishra, Thats it" Shivaay tried to cover up.
"Am your brother, so dont try to put these lame excuses before me, ok?" Om held him by his shoulder and tapped it, "You can be a ruthless shrewd businessman to this world but to Rudra and Me, You are still that Shivaay who used to cover all our misdeeds with his lame excuses in front of Choti Maa and Mom just to protect us from any further scolding.. The great wall of Shivaay"
"You remembered," Shivaay smiled vaguely "But Am not lying, not this time, Seriously You can check it in my pho..." A scene flushed on his mind as He recalled how his phone got crashed down to somewhere in Mittal's garden, Again Rage made his face livid and as he whispered,
"You have done a grave mistake by getting into the shoe of SSO and throwing off my phone, You have to say Those three magical words to me this time"
