Shivika: Entwined By Destiny

65

Next morning:

Shivaay woke up to see an empty bed. He then heard a click sound from the washroom door. He saw Anika coming in a light blue coloured saree drying her wet hair. She was looking like an angel in that saree. My angel, Shivaay thought.

A: Good morning!

S: Good morning Anika! 

Anika stood before the dressing table and using hair drier. Shivaay's gaze was fixed on her. He walked towards her. She looked at him through the mirror and blushed. She was about to put the mangalsutra but Shivaay caught her hand and did it for her. She was looking at his eyes deeply.  He then took sindhoor and applied it in her maang. He caressed her neck and was brushing away her hair when, 

Gayathri: Anika beta woh...

She stopped in the mid way seeing them. 

G: Meine kuch nahi dekha hai.. Aap log continue kijiye... She said and left smiling. 

Anika was totally embaressed. Shivaay was enjoying seeing her condition. 

A: See what have you done! How can I face her now? 

S: I think mom won't misunderstand us, kyunki tum mere wife jo ho!

Anika blushed and pushed him gently. 

A: Shivaay aap pehle function keliye tayar hojaiye. Aur mujhe ready hone dijiye. Mujhe bohot saara kaam hai. Understand!

She took the comb and pointed it to him. Shivaay chuckled at her innocent warning and whispered yes in her ear and left to get ready for the day. Anika quickly wore her bangles and saw herself in the mirror. Making sure that she was perfect, she left to the venue area. 

Anika saw Gayathri ma looking at her and smiling at her. Anika did not know how to look at her. Sensing her condition Gayathri tapped Anika's shoulder and passed a genuine smile to her. 

G: Anika beta, Gauri ko tumhari help chahiye tha! And ha, usko kehna ki woh yeh necklace pehen le! 

A: Ji ma! I will go there. 

Anika left to Gauri's place with the box in her hands. She suddenly bumped into a person and was about to fall but his prince charming held her tightly...

S: Anika r you okay!

Anika stood properly and said yes.

S: Tumhara dhyan kaha rehtha hai.. Gir jaati toh...

A: Shivaay! Phir se shuru mat kijiye. I have a lot of work. Mujhe jaana hai. 

S: Acha theek hai.. 

Anika was about to leave but he caught her wrist. She turned towards him. 

S: Anika you look beautiful!

Anika blushed. 

A: You also look handsome! 

She whispered and left to Gauri's room. Shivaay smiled. To be precise he blushed at her compliment. 

His thoughts were broken by Om's tap on his shoulder. Both of them hugged each other.

S: All set buddy!

O: Yes!

They were talking to each other when Rudra also joined them. Gayathri asked Bhavya to bring Gauri.

She left to her room. Gauri was putting on a baby pink lehenga, looking like a princess.

Bhavya: Wow, you look great bhabhi!
