KHIDKITOD SHIVIKA

CHAPTER 35

"Hello,

Please mujhe maaf kar dijiye. Mai aap sabko bina bataye hi chali aayi. Wo darsal, meri ek dost ki delivery ka time hai and she needs someone by her side. Waise hum bohut khaas dost nahi hai par zarurat ke waqt humesha tayyar hai. Uske pati out of station gaye hai. Pichli baar kidnapping ke time letter aaya tha lekin iss baar mai khud hi likh rahi hun. Bohut subah call aaya, isiliye mai Khanna ji ko yeh letter deke chali gayi. Shaadi ki rasm ki tayyari bhi ki rakhi hai aur sabko samjha di hai. Mai do din me lautungi.

Aapki Anika,

Om was reading the letter with utmost seriousness. As Khanna himself gave him the letter saying that she handed over it, they believed in a go but our Shivaay has to cross check. He can't take risk with her life.

"Khanna, be sure ki ye letter tumhe Anika ne apne haathon se thamaya hai na?"

"Haan Sir. Anika madam ne khud apne right hand se ye letter mere right hand me diya aur mujhe good morning bhi wish kiya" he got fed up of constant repetition.

"Ye lo.. Khanna ko bhi wish kar sakti hai par mujhe nahi.. Khadoos kahiki" he murmured under his breath.

"Kitni punctual hai Anika. Use apne kaam ka pura dhyaan hai" Jhanvi praised and Shivaay's heart flutter at his choice. Only if she had not rejected him, they would be together, may be having a morning romance now.

Shrugging of his thoughts, he dialed Tina's number.The best way to confirm is by calling her. Excusing himself from the family area, he went to his room.

"Hello Tina, mai Shivaay" he said.

"Bolo Shivaay and tumhara no. save hai mere paas. Har baar apna naam bolne ki zarurat nahi hai" she chuckled.

Are these two best friends born crazy or they met with an accident before? he thought.

"Anyways, do you guys have a friend who is in hospital now and going for a delivery?" he asked

"Sharda..." she said leaving a perplexed SSO.

"What?"

"Haa haan.. Wo Sharda hai, she isn't my friend but Anika's relative from her uncle's side. Anika ka message aaya tha subah." she uttered but Shivaay wasn't satisfied. His heart didn't feel right at her absence.

"Tum jaanti ho Sharda ko?" he questioned.

"Not exactly. Aaj hi uske message ke baad pata chala. When I inquired, she told me that Sharda is her cousin. That's it"  she said.

"Mujhe wo msg ke screenshot bhej dena whatsapp pe" he almost ordered.  

"Ho.. I never knew ki you are so much interested in reading girls's convo" she screamed

"What!!! Shut up.. Mujhe bas kuch details chahiye and agar kuch private hai to use paint kar dena. WhatsApp me hai ye facility" he said.

"I know. Nothing private bas wo thoda formal ho rahi thi" she chipped in randomly but this was the clue. Shivaay is no less than a detective.

"Send immediately" he hung the call and opened WhatsApp which was very rare. Opening up the contacts, he found Anika's name on the top as it started with A and moreover he had very few contacts on WhatsApp.

Hesitantly, he clicked on her name and his lips curled up into a million dollar smile by looking at her dp. She was wearing a yellow top with jeans and he very well remembered that it was a pic from their Andaman trip. She looked so excited and nothing could stop her from smiling and ofcourse, laughing like a maniac.

The notification sound broke his trance and it was from Tina who send the screenshots but wait... Half of it is painted.

"What the hell? Inko itna kya private baat karni hoti hai?" he said to himself and a cute thought came up on his mind, "I wish I could have been on her place.. She would have shared all her emotions with me"

"But if you were Tina, then you guys could not have married each other." his mind mocked him.

"Shaadi to ab bhi kaha ho rahi hai" he cursed his fate. That's what he could do at this moment. Looking at the chats, he found nothing except for the fact that she was a way for too formal

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

"Tai, ladki ko hosh aa gaya hai" A girl in her early 20s broke the news.

"Thik hi hai.. Mai hi baat karti hun usse" the lady got up from her lavish seat and took her steps forward.

Here, Anika was struggling to open her eyes. Finding out herself in a secluded corner, fear engulfed her to the core. She was not able to react. 

When a girl entered there with food in her plate, she felt relieved but the biggest question is, Where is she?

Tai made a heroic entry in her room along with two boys as her bodyguards.

"Aage mat badhiye warna mai apni chameli se aisa pitungi ke nani yaad aa jayegi" she took her sandal in her hand.

"Mujhe bataya to tha ki tum daring ho par.. Pasand aaya mujhe ye andaaz."

"Aapki baaton ke liye time nahi hai mere paas.. Apne noor jahan ke expressions ghar pe dikhaiye" she uttered with confidence

"Ghar to yahi hai mera to yahi hi dikha rahi hun." Tai said and the two boys laughed

"Dekh bacchi, pehle ye khana kha le. Phir hum baat karenge. Tu thaki huyi si lag rahi hai aur chinta mat kar, mai koi villain nahi hun. Apne baccho ki chinta hai" she told

"Ye kaunsi jagah hai?" Anika finally asked the question

"Ye.........."
