From where it all started✔✔

This will be from Anika's point of view

It was a beautifull morning, but not for me. To remain safe from sir's scoldings I quickly got ready in my new school dress.
We have recently shifted here from delhi.
As I got ready and went downstairs I wished sir a good morning. But he being super rude didn't answer. I had my not so good breakfast and left for the school.
Today, am going to start a new. New school, new teachers and new friends...may be. Because I never had friends in my previous schools.
____________________________________
As I entered the class with the teacher, everyone was staring me. But one of them..I didn't knew will become my best friend.
The teacher introduced me
ANIKA ALANT MATHUR
I interupted her
"ma'am its ANIKA "
I said being a little angry. A girl uses her father or her husband's name but I don't have a father.
I settled myself on the allotted seat. The day was usual with all studies.
Now it was recess time. I was sitting alone under the shade of a tree having my tiffin. But that loneliness didn't last long. A cute little boy came and sat besides me

B- Hi ms. Alant Mathur...myself Shivaay Singh Oberoi

A: hi shivaay...its Anika

S: ok hi Anika

I smiled faintly and continued having my food.

S: can we be friends
He asked me forwarding his hand
I shaked my hand with his and nodded in yes
S- ok so there is a friendship rule

A-I know, no sorry and no thank you

S:no..
I just stared at him. He spoke further

S: I have a different rule.. That we will not hide anything from each other and will share everything.

A- ok

S- so can I ask you something?
He said keeping his hand on mine

A-yes

S- why are you sad..you don't talk much...your eyes show a shade of depression...sadness...loneliness

A-nothing...

S- something is there....deep down in your heart. Talking and sharing it with someone will make you feel better...light. So you can share it with me whenever you feel like

I smiled at him and left. How can someone be so good. He understood me as no one does. Even not my sir who actually is my biological father but cannot be a father by heart.
I silently weeped and soon fell asleep.
_______________________________
Days passed and our bond grew stronger. I met his family too and felt an unknown connection with them. Shivaay is so lucky to have a loving family. But shivaay behaved strange with his parents. He was totally different with them. God knows why

Today it was something unusual, his most charming smile was lost. The whole day passed and it was recess. It was our routine..to daily sit under the tree where...we became friends and share our tiffin. He seemed sad.
I kept my hand on his and asked him the reason.
He started crying and hugged me.

S:anu...they faught again

He used to call me anu and I called him shiv. But when we have faught he used to tease me by calling me paanika and i called him billu. He used to be hell irritated.

A: who?
I asked bewildered

S:mom..dad

He cried more

I just looked on.
Then he continued
S: you must have found my behaviour towards them strange na
I nodded
S:its because...they always keeps on fighting. They never take me out...talk to me. They are always fighting.

A- but you are lucky shiv. You have your parents who love you. You think they don't but they actually do. I can see that in their eyes.
You don't know how it feels when you don't get that parently love.
On the first day you asked me something. Let me tell you
I don't have anyone except sir. He is my father but he don't loves me. He asks me to call him sir. My mother died while giving birth to me.
You should be happy that you have someone to be called as parents. You have a big and loving family.

He hugged me and I reciprocated. We both cried. I think he could understand my pain. We remained as such for a long time. I had some feelings towards him but didn't know what was that as I was just a child. But I knew that now my life was incomplete without him or precisely he had become my life.
But one day I had to leave him....I had to leave my life....my shivaay....my best friend. I cried alot hugging him and flew to London
______________________________
Today after seventeen years, I love him the same...I miss him the same. Yes I realised the feeling I had towards him was love. Its been seventeen years I saw him..talked to him.
He took my ability to love anyone else and gave birth to a new girl. Now am afraid of nothing. Am a confident and independent business women. Am not the same shy and weak Anika Mathur. But bold and strong Shivaay's Anika.

I had to visit Mumbai, the place where I got my life and where I left it. I had a very important deal to sign with Mr.Daksh Khuranna.
As I boarded the flight, I felt happy returning to my love...my life but was nervous to face him. Was afraid if he would recognise me or not.
Thinking how he would be now....how he would look...how he talks...will he recognise me...what will he do..
While thinking all this I fell asleep.
___________________________________
As I entered the huge building I had an unusual feeling. As if he was around me. I could sense him. But I side lined my thaught and decided to focus on my deal.
After that I directly went to my favourite place, from where it all started. Sitting under my favourite tree I went down the memory lane. How we used to fight...how we used to play....how we used to irritate eacother. I carressed our names which we have scribbled on the tree, with best friends forever written below. I smiled with tears falling from my eyes.
A: I miss you
Suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder.
I turned around to find a young man looking at me. He had tears in his eyes.
- I knew, you will meet me here. My paanika...my ani will meet me here. You mad women...you don't know how I had lived without you these seventeen years. I felt as my soul had left me.

He said while crying. I too was crying after meeting him. I immediately hugged him.
Shiv....

S: I love you Anika...don't you dare leave me

A: I love you too...and now I won't leave you nor I will let you leave me.

I never expected to meet him again at the same place. We scribbled Shivaay♥ Anika.
And the two souls united, from where it all started.
