Shivika: Entwined By Destiny

61

Shivaay left the room saying sorry to her. He thought that Anika would be hurt. Anika was sad thinking she had hurted his feelings.

She went to their room and changed her dress. She then left to the living area. But he was not there. She went to kitchen but he was not there. She then went to study room. Shivaay was checking some files.

Anika came and saw him. Tears flowed from her eyes. She ran and hugged Shivaay and started to cry.

S: Anika kya hua? Tum aise ro kyu rahi ho?

A: Shivaay I am sorry. Mujhe pata nahi chala yeh sab kaise hua. I am sorry Shivaay....

S: Anika tum kyu sorry keh rahi ho? Galti toh meine kiya hai. In fact mujhe tumse sorry kehna chahiye. Anika I am sorry. I hate myself when you cry because of me. Please stop crying...

Shivaay broke the hug and wiped her tears.

S: Anika lets leave this matter. Chalo abhi...

Anika nodded. Later Anika prepared dinner and both of them had it silently.

After having dinner, Shivaay wished Good night to Anika. He slept turning to the opposite side. But sleep was far away for Anika.

She was feeling bad for what she did with Shivaay. She took her dairy and started to write all the day's happenings. But there was a small difference.

Anika (writings in her dairy):

I am sorry Shivaay. I know ki aaj jo hua uske baad you got hurt. But there is a reason for this Shivaay. I want to confess my feelings to you as soon as possible. But I thought to wait for your birthday. Aapka birthday next month hai na. I wanted to gift myself to you as your birthday gift. I am sorry...

A small tear escaped from her eye when she completed writing the dairy. She turned to watch Shivaay sleeping. She pulled the duvet over them. Anika slept to the opposite side after whispering Good night.

Next morning:

Shivaay woke up to see Anika sleeping peacefully holding his hand. The last night's incidents played in his mind. I am sorry Anika for what I have done yesterday.

He got up from bed and left to washroom taking his clothes. He got ready for the day. He saw Anika sleeping through the mirror. He wanted to wake her up.

Shivaay then prepared coffee and espresso for both of them and left to their room.

S: Good morning Anika!

Anika got up suddenly. She expected that he would not talk with her. But he was behaving like nothing happened.

S: Anika kaha koi hui ho! Here have your coffee...

A: Mein fresh hokar aati hoon.

She left staring him.

Shivaay POV:

Anika I know you are in a confused state now. I can understand you. Jo kuch bhi hua hai mein usse bhool gaya hoon. Agar tumhe time chahiye toh I would wait for you.

Anika broke his thoughts. She also decided to behave normal.

A: Shivaay! Meri coffee kaha hai?

S: Here have it...

Later Shivika got ready for their works. Shivaay then dropped Anika at her hospital. She then wished him take care and left for her work. Shivaay then left for his office.

But both of them were not able to concentrate in their works. They were continuosly thinking about each other.

It was around evening that Shivaay completed his works and went to Anika's hospital. She was talking to the managment on some issue. Shivaay thought to go to her but he did not get down from the car. He called her instead.

Anika came out seeing his call. Shivaay started to drive. There was silence in the car. Both of them hated it.

A: Shivaay!

S: Kya hua Anika?

A: Shivaay mujhe park jane ka man hai!

S: Ok Anika. Lekin hum jaldi ghar chalenge.

A: Ok Shivaay.

Both of them went to a nearby park. Shivika settled down in the grass. Shivaay was seeing at the sky. Anika was staring him.

A: Shivaay!

He nodded.

A: I am sorry...

S: Kisliye Anika?

A: Kal raat jo kuch bhi hua...

He looked at her and cupped her face. He wiped her tears.

S: Anika meine kaha tha na jo kuch bhi hua hai usse bhool jao. Mein bhi bhool chuka hoon uss baat ko. Anika I always respect your feelings. Anways mujhe iss baare mein na baat nahi karni hai...

Anika rested her head on his shoulder. She really missed him and his care. Shivaay smiled and took her in his embrace. Both closed their eyes and enjoyed the moment.

A: Shivaay woh dekhiye... Ice cream...

S: Anika not again.... Tum bimar padogi.

Anika just ran from there and moved towards the stall.

S: Anika mein bhi aa raha hoon. Wait...

Anika turned to him and was back walking. She suddenly hit a person. He was high on alcohol.

A: I am sorry. Meine dekha nahi hai. Please maaf kijiye...

Shivaay saw it and ran to her.

That person caught Anika's hand. And was asking for money. Shivaay blood boiled and pulled Anika to his side.

S: How dare you touch my wife?

He started punching his face. Anika was trying hard to stop him. That person fell down unable to bear Shivaay.

A: Shivaay stop..

She yelled and made Shivaay to stop. That person fell unconscious. Shivaay took Anika's hand.

A: Aah!!

That person caught Anika's hand very tightly that red marks were visible on her hand.

S: Sorry Anika. Mein uss idiot ko chodunga nahi. Tumhe kuch ho jata toh..

A: Shivaay please chaliyen yaha se. Aur aap kyu uss se aise fight kar rahe the. Woh nashe mein tha. Aap ko kuch ho jaata toh... Abhi aap please chaliyen...

Shivaay then took Anika to the car. He took the first aid kit and applied ointment gently and blowed there.

S: I will make sure his life will turn to hell. Uski himmat kaise hui tumhare saath aisa karne ki..

A: Shivaay please stay calm.. Itna gussa theek nahi hai...

Shivaay calmed down.

A: Shivaay chaliyen ghar chalte hai...

Shivika drove back to OM. Anika slept resting her head on his shoulder. Shivaay took Anika in his arms and made her lay down on the bed. He then went to kitchen and prepared dinner for both of them. Later he made his way to their room.

S: Anika meine dinner banaya hai. Chalo lets have it...

Anika woke up and Shivaay made her eat. Anika also took the spoon and fed him.

Later Shivika slept peacefully in each other arms.
