Jealousy - the race and the rage (shivika FF)

14) Obros

Obros were sitting by the pool with their legs in the pool. Shivaay finally let the cat out of the bag.

"Om rudra am leaving for US in a few days. No one knows about it. keep it as a secret " said shivaay. "US ? All of a sudden bhaiyya ? Chote ma n papa will burst into flames if they know u are leaving. Is anika didi coming too?" asked rudra. "Duffer he is leaving for Anika only. U know what had happened. And thats exactly why none from our family must know. Thank god dadi has left for tirupati. Else she would have got disheartened at the drama those two are doing with Shivaay. Am happy that u are finally doing this shivaay. But did u think of expressing yourself?" asked Om.

Shivaay went into silence .

However tadibaaz he may be. However victorious he had been with actions, words always failed him . Especially when it came to expressing himself to Anika , his ship always hit the floor with no further progress. Everytime he tried to get her talk to him, she shot him down. She constantly reiterating that they were totally formal boss and employee got him into his nerves so badly that he made it a point to fake flirt over phone in front of her. He even accepted the dinner date offer from the flirty Miss India just because he wanted her to admit that she was bothered to see him with anyone else just like how he felt it with others for her. But Anika being Anika , had put on a brave fight against his silly jealousy inducing antics and tried to keep her cool. Although she had the urge to wade of that sly snake flirting from shivaay by throwing the paper weight, she maintained her composure and walked out of the room.

"Shivaay.." called om again. "Uhh yes om.." said shivaay breaking his silence. "U know even i have work in New york next week. U know how i have been planning to set up an art gallery there. Its just 3 hours travel from atlantic city on road .So why not i reach there and chill before i start with me gallery hunt? Duffer wants a vacation too. We both have business visa due to Mr.Oberoi, so visa won't be an issue. So i think it will be great if we both accompany u to atlantic city. Right?" asked Om. "Yesss bhaiyya.. i too want to come" said rudra with his puppy eyes. "Uhh... sure... errr i will make necessary arrangements for it then " said shivaay and left the pool to meet khanna.

"O i think u have some other plan other than fun. What is it?" asked rudra. "Dumbell oberoi... our hard headed brother will not express his feelings to his love in this life if it goes in this rate. He keeps on complicating things as for what i had heard from mishra and khanna. We need to make sure he does the right thing. Mr.Oberoi's interest in shivaay's marriage with Akansha is not good news. He will do all it takes to make it materialise. I don't want shivaay to loose his happiness for the sake of business. We need to make sure shivaay and anika end up together." said om determined.

"Well said O. But why is papa so interested in this marriage?? Its not like him to care for shivaay bhaiyya's business success." asked rudra. "True Rudra.. something is fishy. Its just not right" said Om.
