Chapter 12

NOT PROOFREAD.POINT OUT TYPOS PLEASE.

12.The beginning of everything

"Just a conversation with that Vikram,and you decide that you're done with me?Bored already?Oh wait!Didn't you find me funny and the 'best' until this morning?",he angrily spoke air-quoting.Annika fumed,he was being irrational and downright pathetic.

"What the hell is wrong with you,Shivaay?Where did Vikram come from?Heck,I don't even know him for god's sake!",Annika shouted wiping her tears,she didn't wanted to fall weak in front of Shivaay,this Shivaay who was being a jerk to her for no reason.

"You did find him better than me,didn't you?",Shivaay asked in a low tone,it almost sounded as if he would break down any moment,but Annika knew him better than that.Shivaay Singh Oberoi is not a man of emotions,right?

Annika chose not to respond,lest she end up saying things that'll hurt them both. Choosing to ignore,Annika walked towards the cupboard to get her night clothes.All she wanted to do now was hit the bed.She've had enough drama for the day.

Before she could get hold of the handle,Shivaay leaned against the cupboard."I'm not done yet."

"Does it look like I care?",she snapped.

"I get it Annika,infact I knew it the moment I saw you laughing with him,the same exact laugh you have when around me.You never laugh like that around people and certainly not strangers.",Shivaay sounded like a fool,but he couldn't care less.Afterall,he couldn't tell her that he loves it when she laughs on every silly things he says,could he?

"Wow!Now I don't even have the right to laugh?You know what?I was wrong,you've not changed a bit,not even a tiny bit.You're still the same obnoxious,rude,heartless Shivaay.It was stupid of me to think that you've changed,that you're my Sh-",she stopped mid-sentence,he didn't deserve to hear that,nor did she have the heart to say that.

She saw him looking at her,his face clearly told that he was expecting her to complete."Are you even going to let me take my clothes or have I lost that right too?Since you're the one who gets to decide what I do.",she wanted to hurt him just the way he hurt her.Little did she know that he was beyond crushed.

His problem was not her talking to a man,but he would not tell her that.He didn't wanted to make a fool out of himself in front of Annika.

Some may call it insecurity or possessiveness,but Shivaay was scared.He was scared that his deepest nightmare was turning true.Funnily,a nightmare he never knew that existed within him.Yes,he was scared.Scared to loose Annika.

Shivaay silently walked away,tears made it's way to Annika's eyes as she watched his retreating form.Just when she thought that everything was falling back in place,this happened.

He walked to pool side and sat on the hammock.Closing his eyes,he kept one of his hand over his head.A single drop of tears escaped from his closed eyes.
He could fight the whole world,but not Annika and he learned that today,that too the hard way.

SHIVAAY'S POV:

She's got that smile to die for.There's something so magical and serene about her laugh.I love it when she laughs at my silly jokes,hitting me while doing that and calling me names whenever I make some sleazy comment.The joy of watching her at moments like that is unexplainable.Not even thousands deals have the ability to fetch that kind of satisfaction or happiness.I could watch her laugh like that all my life.

And today when I saw her laugh like that with another man,I was scared.Scared that she might find someone else better than me.There's nothing in me that a girl would want in her man.All I have as a person is flaws.But I am one lucky man to still have Annika by my side despite me ill-treating her all the time.

No girl would ever do that,but Annika did,she stayed by my side.There's a possibility of her leaving me one day for someone she deserves,someone who would treat her with all the respect she deserves,someone who would love her like she deserves and I know that it wouldn't be me.

She wouldn't want a man like me to be with her.I know that and that makes me want to be a better version of myself for her and right now,it feels like I'm too late.I've pushed us to the edge,making her almost hate me.

It was my insecurity speaking,I was too mad to weigh my words before letting them out.I should have not reacted like that,I know.But I couldn't help it.

She is special to me,so special that I can't afford to see her with some other man.I should be her go-to man forever.

Although it is selfish of me,but I want her to be mine forever.No other person should be her priority,but me.I want it to be me for her always and I don't know why,but I want it to be like that forever.

There's a weird feeling in me that constantly wants me to be the best man in her life.Although weird,I know that's what I want.I want to be the best for her.

After a while I walked back to the room,making sure that she's asleep,I changed to my night wear after a relaxing shower and walked to her side of the bed.

She was fast asleep and I can say that she had cried herself to sleep,her dried tear stains says it.Stupid stupid me.I shouldn't have said all those hurtful things.This was supposed to be our honeymoon and this is what she gets,all because of me.

"I promise to make it up to you,Annika.I'm sorry.",I whisper against her forhead whole kissing there,it was more like a promise to myself.

A promise I look forward to keep...

PRECAP:"Is this for real,Shivaay?",Annika asked with amusement clear on her face.

The first ever character POV of this book!Yaay!

I hardly get free time these days which makes it hard to write,all I do during breaks these days is write tbh.This entire part was written in my notes since I get easily distracted once I open wattpad😂

I apologise if this isn't up to your expectations or worth the wait,honestly I tried my best to write this within the short time I've had in hand.

Please do let me know about the chapter,I'm really trying my best to squeeze some time out.
Much love❤
