KHIDKITOD SHIVIKA

CHAPTER 22

Anika came out of the dressing room wearing the traditional outfits of Andaman tribe. Shivaay was trying hard to supress his laugh after he saw two horn kind of thing in her head. He gave up his control and began to laugh his heart out.

Anika who didnt even looked herself anywhere was having tough time after she saw Shivaay laughing like a maniac in front of her. 'Am I looking like a joker?' she thought.

"Aise kya khi khi karke has rahe hai, badtameez" she commented.

"Tumhare sir me.." he could not complete the sentence and again started laughing. She was about to leave when he held her by wrist and pulled her closer.. Both could hear each other's heartbeats, it was not normal.

Shivaay made her look into his watch.

"O bete ki, ferry gayi? " Anika was tensed

"Aapne mujhe kyu nahi bulaya? Ab hum kaise jayenge?"

"Mai tumhe bula raha tha but wo lady ne kaha ki life me enjoy bhi karna chahiye, humesha time ke peeche bhaagne ka koi matlab nhi" Shivaay told her.

"Par baki sab?"

"Don't worry, maine sab ko bol diya hai, they have gone already. Only you and me are left and hum next ferry se jayenge" Shivaay focused on the words YOU and ME.

Anika's eyes widened in shock when she got to know that now, they are alone. She gulped down the saliva formed in the lump of the throat.

'Ab to tu gayi Anika' she murmured to herself

"Saheb, apki aur apki biwi ki photo le le?" The lady asked them and they looked at each other.

"Mai inki biwi nahi hun" Anika clarified.

"Girlfriend hai na, koi baat nahi.. Couple photo hi hogi aakhir me."

Shivaay controlled his laugh to full extent. "Anika, ab jyada badbadao mat, warna ye tumhe mere bacche ki maa bhi bol degi" he smirked while she turned her face in disgust.

"Mujhe inke saath koi photo nahi khichani" Anika said. Shivaay pulled her close by waist, ignoring all her wishes.

"Khichiye" He told the lady. 

"Sahab, pose change kijiye" she said

Anika freed herself from his grip ans was about to leave but he held her wrist. Another shot clicked by the lady.

"Bhagwan, aap dono ki jodi humesha salamat rakhe" she blessed them and after changing  into her casuals, Anika came out.

"Ferry kab hai humari?" She asked

"After 2 hours" he answered

"What? Hum kya karenge do ghante?" 

"Kuch bhi kar sakte hai, chalo beach par chale"

He dragged her to the places where they had not visited yesterday. Although, his presence irked her but these moments were special in a way

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Finally, baby tum aa gaye" Tia jumped on him

"Tum log kahi ghumne nahi gaye?" Shivaay questioned

"Nahi Bhaiya, we were waiting for you two" Rudra told

"Tum dono ko time ka khayal kyu nahi raha?" Om asked

"Wo, hum shopping kar rahe the ghar walo ke liye" Anika answered quickly. She didn't want any one of them to make up any story in their mind.

"Haan, ab hume chalna chahiye" Shivaay covered up

"Kaha?" Gauri and Soumya asked.

"Ek kaam karte hai, its late now, so hum teams divide karke city travel karte hai aur kal subah Baratng island pe chalenge" Vikrant said

"That's a cool idea Vikrant. Maine aur Shivaay ne time hi spend nahi kiya" Tia chipped.

"Ok then, raat ko milte hai" Om uttered.

They went to different places in Port Blair in the group of 2(Shiv-Tia, Ani-Vikrant, Om-Gauri, Rudy-Soumya)

Shivaay didn't like the idea but at present he was left with no option. His mind taunted him, 'Weren't u suppose to spend time with Tia? Why are you thinking about Anika?'

Brushing away all his thoughts, he followed Tia. According to him, Tia isn't bad, she is perfect but not for him. He misses a spark in their relationship.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

"Bhaiya, humne to apko pura private space dia, apne kya kiya?" Rudy said in a teasing way.

"Aisa kuch bhi nahi tha ok.. Hum ghume and.."

"Bas ghume? Kuch to kiya hoga?" Rudy insisted.

"Shut up Rudra"

"Dekh Shivaay, you have to be really sure about her. Tujhe uske saath life spend karni hai" Om told him

"I don't know what is happening.. Mai chahta hun Tia ko chance dena lekin ho nahi paa raha hai. May be I need time" Shivaay told his bros.

"Don't stress. Decision tere upar hi hai. Nobody is gonna force you" Om patted his back

"Tum dono rest lo, I am also going to my room" Saying this, Shivaay left leaving behind his bros tensed for him.

When he reached the 4th floor, he heard some laughing noises coming from Anika's room.

"Yeh Anika itna zor zor se kiske saath has rahi hai? Gauri and Soumya to niche hai" Shivaay thought. Then he heard a male voice laughing

He opened the door and found Anika and Vikrant sitting on the bed and laughing on some unknown topic.

"Tumhari bhaiyo ke saath baat ho gayi?" Vikrant asked with a smile.

"Yes, will you please leave.. Mujhe Anika se kuch personally baat karni hai" Shivaay said coldly while she gasped in fear.

"Ya sure" Vikrant got up from her bed and left her room in a minute uttering Good Night to both of them.
