Chapter 8: Too Late to say Sorry...?

"HE DID WHAT NOW....?"
Annika shouted out aloud...

Gauri:"Are you not listening Di...?"
She asked jumping with excitement...

Gauri:"Bande ne puure mauhalle ke saamne qubool kiya ki he was pagalo ki tarah diwana about you...and isilye he purposefully tried to tarnish your reputation so that you would end up marrying him...."

Annika:"No he did not..."

Gauri:"Of course he did...and also I have another good news.... Chachi ki choch literally band hogayi..."

Gauri said laughing remembering the sight of Chachi in mute mode when she went to visit sahil....

Annika:"Now what's this guy up to..."
She thought with a frown...

"Anni....Annika...."
Shivaay called out as he regained consciousness....where was he...?He blinked his eyes and realized that he was in Annika's house....

Annika's house...
He had come here to give her the letter of recommendation for the wedding planner job...

Annika....where was Annika....?Those goons....they were .....

Shivaay held his head as it pained....
Those goons were eve- teasing and speaking sexual innuendos to her...asking her how much she got paid for her services to Shivaay Singh Oberoi....

Shivaay's hands tightened to a fist...

Shivaay:"Annika....Where is Annika....?"
Shivaay jumped up...

At that time Annika walked into the room holding a glass of water....

Shivaay:''Annika...you ok....tum teek ho na...."

Annika:"I'm fine..."

Shivaay:"Those goons...they were...."

Annika:"I'm fine Shivaay..."
She said abruptly stopping Shivaay...

Shivaay winced as his head started pounding...

She closed her eyes unable to see Shivaay's wounds....What's happening to me...?she thought to herself...Why can't I see him in pain...?

Annika held Shivaay and lead him to the bed....and made him drink water...

Annika:"You ok...?"
Shivaay nodded...

Annika:".What are you trying to prove Shivaay by this....?"

Annika:"What are you doing here in the first place Shivaay...?didn't I ask you to stay away...?I told you I already forgave you...you don't have to do all this...."

Shivaay:"I had to rectify everything I have done Annika..."

Annika took a deep breath...All the anger that she had buried deep inside her was threatening to erupt...

The memory of Shivaay unconscious in her arms...not responding to her...it scared the hell outta her....

Annika:"Do you really think that by painting yourself as an obsessed lover boy...you can change the image you created before them...?do you think getting yourself beaten up will let you get the atonement for what you did...?"
