Chap-12 A New Beginning?

*Annika*
Shivay proceeded towards her and she felt a bit nervous.
He came to her and asked
"What did you just said?"
She didnt know what was happening? The heartbeat again went on some race.
She tried and said it again "I m Sorry Mr Shivay...I know I have not been really good to you. I know you have really tried to help me out. I m sorry for what all happened"

*Shivay*
She was speaking and he was just looking at her. The way she was explaining her guilt, it showed actual honesty in her eyes. She seemed pure and naive.
He wanted to get lost in those loyal pair of eyes but no..he cant.
"I cant take your apologies Miss Annika, plz leave me alone" he said looking straight into her eyes and gesturing her to leave.

*Annika*
She didnt expected this. She came to say sorry but did he just said he cant take her apologies? She was scared now. She didnt knew that he would be so much angry. Her heart sank on the thought of Shivay pouring out this anger on Bhavya in any way. She just started blabbering in tension now...
"Listen to m..me.. Mr...Shi...Shivay I know I have hurt you but plz dont take it personal. Plz dont let this rift between you and me spoil Bhavya and Rudra's relationship. I m sorry. Ill do whatever you say just plz dont ask Rudra to hurt Bhavya in anyway oky? She is not like me. She is my best friend.. I never wanted to behave like this...pl....."

*Shivay*
He wanted to play a bit more before accepting her apologies and thats why he said he cant forgive her but the next moment he heard her speak anything and everything which came in her mind non stop. He saw tears in her eyes and unknowingly he kept a finger on her lips to stop her...
"Shhhhhh!!! Stop it Miss Annika. How can you even think like that? I have already forgiven you okay? I was just kidding. Please stop worrying now"

*Annika*
His fingers on her lips gave her a shiver down her spine. She was just looking at him, when she heard...
"I have already forgiven you" these lines felt so soothing to her ears. All her guilt and fear flew away. She wiped her tears and said
"Thankyou"

*Shivay*
"Well you can thanks me over a cup of coffee too... he said giving her a smile."

*Annika*
She had no other option but to agree.
"Sure" she said giving back a faint smile to him.

He stopped the car in front of Starbucks. He came out of the car and like a true gentleman he opened the door to Annika's side. Both of them went inside and Shivay ordered their coffees.

*Shivay*
So Miss Annika? How are you now? I hope you feel fine.
He asked Annika.
I m feeling better thankyou.. !she said in a calm tone.
He could still feel some coldness in her eyes. The way she was looking at the near by couple was different. And suddenly Shivay recalled what gauri told him.. Annika and Aman share a thing? Does she actually love Aman? His heart wanted to avoid this thought, why would it matter to him? he just wants to take his revenge and it doesnt matters to him if she loves Aman.... it doesnt matters right? His heart asked... No... his mind replied.
Shivay wanted to start the beginning of his plan and for that he needed to know everything about her.
Cute couple ? Right Miss Annika? He finally asked looking into her eyes.

*Annika*
she was enjoying her coffee when she saw a couple having fun at the side table. And the only thing which dominated her mind was Aman. She still couldnt believe that she has lost the love of her life. Tears started pooling up in her eyes and then she heard the same familiar voice
"Cute couple? Right miss Annika?" And the chain of her thoughts broke.
"Yes" she replied warmly trying to hide her tears.
