Shivika: Its Our Love Story

43

Shivaay held Anika's hand tightly and assured her not to worry about anything. She just smiled. After a while she looked at through the window.

A: Shiv, this is the first time I am flying at night time..And its you with whom I am travelling with.

S: Then I am the luckiest man Anu!

A: Yes you are!

Both of them smiled.

A: Shiv, ek baat poochu?

S: Ha.

A: Did anyone said your eyes change color?

S: Nahi toh!

A: Omru bhi nahi kaha?

S: Nahi!

A: I think no one noticed you properly..Your eyes change colors Shiv!

His face formed a smirk.

S: Matlab tum yeh keh rahi ho ki tum mujhe check out karti ho!

A: Meine aisa kab kaha?

S: If you don't, then how did you notice this?

A: Woh..

S: Woh...

A: Jab meine ek baar dekha na, tab meine notice kiya..I was not checking you!

S: I will wait for the day you will say it!

A: Dekhte hai!

She lowered her gaze and blushed. He wanted to tease her more but a hostess disturbed him and asked for dinner. Both of them agreed and had their dinner. Anika took out her ipad and started to play Temple run while Shivaay just rested back on his chair and closed his eyes. She observed him.

A: Shiv, are you okay?

S: Ha..Mein bilkul theek hoon, okay!

Anika nodded. She kept her ipad aside and leaned back. Shivaay placed his head on her shoulder. Anika was shocked by his sudden action. She looked at him and recalled the same 9 year old Shiv, she met in the camp. His hair was all messy, and his cute face made her awe. She thought to wake him up but dropped the idea seeing his peaceful sleep.

A: Will anybody say you are the same tadibaaz SSO!

She giggled and gently pulled the comforter. Later she also rested back and placed her head above his head and slept and not before ruffling his hair. He sensed her touch and smiled involuntarily.

Next Day:

The plane had landed in India around 9 in the morning and both of them got down the flight. Anika stretched her hands and inhaled the air. Shivaay was like, is she okay.

A: Welcome back mother India!

S: Anu, India yahi par hai...We came back!

Anika bit her tongue and he giggled.

S: Anu, shall I drop you back?

A: Papa is going to come here..

Shivaay nodded and both of them left to collect their luggage. After collecting it, Shivika moved towards exit. There both of them saw Omru along with Pinky. Shivika moved towards them. But all the three ignored Shivaay and moved to Anika.

Pinky excitedly moved towards Anika. Anika was about to take her blessings when Pinky stopped her.

P: My blessings will be there with you always beta? How is your trip?

A: Khidkitod aunty!

P: Shivaay ne tujhe troubles toh nahi kiya hai na?

Shivaay was shocked.
