KHIDKITOD SHIVIKA

CHAPTER 32

"Anika didi, khana me chinese hoga" Rudy requested.

"And italian bhi" Om added.

"Pasta chowmein se kiska pet bharega? Indian food hi best hai" Pinky interrupted.

"Ye sab chodo, what about flowers?" Jhanvi asked.

"Wo Shivaay ka fav hona chahiye" Shakti added.

"And decoration theme?" Tej asked.

"Not now, abhi khana" Rudy said.

"Nahi, abhi decoration"

"Chup......." Dadi screamed after looking at Anika's irritating face

"Tum log is bacchi ko pagal kar doge. Ek insaan kitna sunega? Arey usko saans to lene do. Aur sabki pasand bhi likhna hai" Dadi said while others bowed their head down.

"Hum excited hai na Dadi" Rudy cleared.

"Mere Shivaay ki shaadi hai, mera bacche ke mehmano ko koi problem nahi hona chahiye" Pinky uttered.

"Aap chinta mat kijiye Pinky aunty, mai sabki pasand napasand dekhkar hi aage badhungi" Anika said forcing a smile. She has barely laughed since the day her love proposed Tia. Her heart is not ready to accept the fact that she can't see him with any other girl.

"Mai sabko ek kagaj dungi and u can write your fav there" Anika said and everyone nodded

"Shivaay apne room me hai, tum usse puch lo" Om said.

"Haan puttar, tu ja." Dadi said and turned towards the family "Jab se Shaadi ki baat aayi hai tabse Shivaay kuch jyada hi kaam kar raha hai." She exclaimed.

"Wo to hai" Jhanvi said as a matter of fact. 

Anika reluctantly stepped inside Shivaay's room. He was busy sipping his espresso and going through a file.

"Shivaay.." she said with a low voice

Hearing his name from her mouth after this long made him unstable for a while. But now nothing can happen as he moved on, at least he pretends so..

"I hope you have this much of ethics ki kisi ke room me aane se pehle knock karo" he taunted but she was in no mood to fight or reply back.

"I am sorry. Next time se nahi hoga" she said which shocked him till an extent but brushing away all his thoughts, he asked "What is the purpose of coming?"

"Wo kal shaam ko apki engagement hai and abhi tak apne koi bhi decoration demand nahi kiya." she told

"Mere family ko jo pasand hai wo de do. I don't have any choice,  meri choice bohut buri hai. You know it very well" he had no emotion on his face but his words were enough to bring a tear drop in her eyes

"Apki choice buri nahi hai galat hai. Anyways, khana me kaunsi cuisines honge?" she asked ignoring the topic.

"Galat sahi ki samajh hai and buri ki bhi samajh ho gyi hai. Indian cuisine hi de dena, mom ko pasand hai" he said.

"Lekin apko to Italian pasand hai" as soon as this words slipped from her mouth, a smile formed on his lips. He moved forward, her heartbeat increased.

He moved his face towards her ears and whispered, "Jab tumhe pata hai ki mujhe kya chahiye to itna natak kyu kar rhi ho?" his words stunned her from the core. This man can make her go down on knees.

Anika left the room without any further discussion, her heartbeats weren't normal. He smiled after she left but then he realized that now, nothing is the same.

ENGAGEMENT DAY

"Sab ready hai na?" Pinky asked Anika

"Haan Pinky aunty, everything is perfect. Aap chinta mat kijiye" she replied with a faded smile.

"Chal ab tu bhi ready ho ja" Dadi said and Anika left the scene in no time to get ready for her love's engagement.

There weren't many guests in the event and media was also not informed as Shivaay felt that engagement should be a private ceremony and later he will make it public.

Our hero, Shivaay descended the stairs with his would be wife, Tia.

"Baby, you haven't complimented me yet" she chipped while he was busy watching Anika who was still working. Her dress made her look elegant and pretty. He has no time to check what Tia is wearing.

"Bhaiya, baby bula rahi hai" Rudy commented while Om giggled.

"Huh... Kuch kaha tumne?" he asked.

"You haven't complimented me baby" she repeated

"You are looking beautiful" he said with disinterest.

"You are also looking dead dropping handsome" she complimented back

"Teri nazar kaha hai Shivaay?" Om asked.

"Kahi nahi. Gauri aa gayi?" Shivaay diverted the topic.

"Wo aaye ya na aaye, mujhe usse kya?" Om replied and left the place and thus giving him some alone moments with himself. Anika observed the couple with moist eyes. She had the chance to be in Tia's place but that would be a selfish move towards the family who gave her a new life.

"They don't deserve me. Tia is perfect" she consoled herself

"Shivaay, puttar yaha aa" Dadi called him

"Aaaya" he went

"Kya hua Dadi?" he questioned

"Yeh humari taraf se ring hai Tia ke liye" Pinky handed him the ring💍.

"Ok" this was only word that came out from his mouth.

"Tum khush ho na Shivaay?" Tej asked

"Haan bade papa, of course. Tia bohut acchi ladki hai" he said.

"Do you love her?" He placed his next question.

" I don't know. Lekin pyaar shaadi ke baad bhi ho skta hai" he replied

"To ceremony begin karte hai?" Jhanvi said

The couple took their respective seats and Oberois surrounded them. Anika was standing at a corner admiring the family.

"Anika kaha hai?" Pinky asked

"Waha hai didi" Rudy answered.

"Yaha aao Anika, tumne ek din me kafi kaam kiya hai. So your place is among us" Jhnavi said and went in her direction.

"Ring de puttar" Dadi signed Anika.

Shivaay took the ring from her hand and slid it in Tia's hand. Tia did the same.

Everyone clapped and blessed Shivaay and Tia.

"Lady baba, Kushal kaha hai?" Rudy asked while she rolled her eyes hearing the name "Lady Baba"

As soon as Anika heard Kushal's name, her face paled down and Shivaay was perplexed to see the change in her expression.

"Wo foreign wapas chala gaya dumble brother in law" Tia replied with narrowed eyes

Anika sighed in relief.

"Anika ko Kushal ke naam se kya problem ho rahi hai?" Shiv murmured under his breath
