Rudra POV
Anika!Anika trivedi....I know that name from somewhere
That name is somehow important to me but for the life of me I have no idea where I heard it from
"Nevermind rudra if its that important I'll remember sooner or later" I tell myself after having a headache trying to remember
"Your mother is my hero!" I said to the young man that looked strangely like my shivaay bhai that for a moment I thought it was him
"What happened!" He asked looking at me like I was a thief
So I told him about the heroism that his mother shown on my behalf and the deep gratitude I had for what she did....I have no doubt that those thugs were sent to hurt me and I have no idea why but Anika Trivedi saved my life
"What!...Mama are you OK!shivaay bhai's clone said pulling his mother over to him,trying to see if she sustained any injuries
" I'm fine!Tillu" she said to her angry son,smilingly playing with his hair
"Mama you should have not done this,just calling the police is enough!" He said looking at his mother disapprovingly
"No offense but she should have left you there!" He continued with his arms crossed starring at me with a look that I have only seen in shivaay bhai when he is angry at me
Again at that moment I had the overwhelming feeling that I was missing something very important here
"Tillu....that is no way to talk to a guest!" Miss Anika said looking embarrassed and i felt an overwhelming feeling to laugh out loud
"Its OK!" I said looking at the interaction between mother and son and feeling envy for the obvious love these two have for each other,"He is trying to protect his mother!"
"Would you like to stay for lunch" Miss Anika asked trying to push us to a new topic,"I bought pasta from that restaurant you like Tillu and I have enough for three if you staying rudra!"
I agreed and she put our food in plates,we sat down and started to eat....the atmosphere here was so welcoming and after arnav let his guard down and started talked freely,I found him to be an extremely clever and funny child
"This is my brother's favourite pasta!" I said after I finished and frowned alittle bit.."why was everything here reminding me of shivaay bhai!"
"You brother has taste than!" Arnav said with his usual arrogance and I laughed forgetting whatever was on my mind again
"If you don't mind me asking are you married?" I asked curiosity getting the better of me
Anika Trivedi is a beautiful women, kindhearted,rich and has a son so obvious assumption is that she has a husband somewhere right?if not than I have unmarried brothers that might suit her....maybe omkara...yes!Miss Anika and omkara would make a beautiful couple
"I'm not married!"she said a little off like I had somehow offended her but before I would say anymore
"I'm adopted!" Arnav said looking highly offended on his mother behalf,like I was somehow judging her than trying to matchmake her to my brother
"I was just thinking you would be perfect for my brother!" I said laughingly trying to defuse the situation
Silence fell in the room and Miss Anika bust out laughing, a beautiful sound I might add
"You are matchmaking!" She said laughing louder than before looking at her son,"You and tillu have something in common than cos he matchmakers all the time and its always a disaster!"
I looked at arnav as we laughed along with his mother and at that moment an understanding passed between us that for someone as perfect as Miss Anika we will find some equally perfect and that how our friendship was born
"Wait you are adopted?" I asked moments later after everything has settled down
"Yep!" Arnav said carelessly with no offence now that we are friends
I looked a Miss Anika with more respect,its took a strong person to take in a stranger and love them like Miss Anika loved Arnav
I hope that Shivaay bhai's was also this lucky and.....Wait!Anika Trivedi!!!!
"You are Anika Trived!"I shouted closing my eyes has I remembered where I have heard that name from..
Anika Trivedi is the name of the woman who kidnapped my nephew..and as I looked closer at arnav everything clicked
Arnav,Shivaay bhai's clone was his son obviously!!
Everything was so obvious now why I was reminded of Shivaay bhai here over and over again...its him Arnav Trivedi,cos not only does he look like shivaay bhai,he speaks like him too.... I should have guessed the moment I saw him
Arnav Trivedi is Shivaay Singh Oberoi's son in every way
I pulled my eyes from arnav and starred at Miss Anika and asked myself how could she do this!how could she kidnap a child from its parents so coldheartedly but that just it the Anika Trivedi I know can never be coldhearted
This was the some women who went to rescue a complete stranger alone......
She invited the strange home looked after his injuries and feed him,so no the Anika Trivedi I know isn't coldhearted and the love that I felt,that I saw between my nephew and anika isn't faked either
"Maybe she is playing me!maybe she planned everything that happened to me today!" I thought to myself as I replayed the events of today
"I need to find out what going on!I need to find out what true or what's false"I said to myself thinking about today is every possible angle
"Rudra!" Miss Anika shouted,shaking me,"are you alright? "
No! I wanted to say the worry on her face made me pause,No this can't be false
The anika I have come to know can't be guilty
"Are you ok?" Arnav said standing beside his mother also looking worried
"I've never been happier!" I said smiling like a mad man and taking arnav into a bone crushing hug....
" This is my nephew"I thought to myself as I tighten my hug and felt tears go down my eyes
"Umm OK!"Arnav said awkwardly trying to push me away
"Arnav can you give me a moment with your mother I need to talk to her about something!" I said after pulling away,he looked at his mother for confirmation and only after she nodded did he leave
"Rudra what wrong!"miss Anika asked worry clear in her eyes
I looked at her with what people like to call 'The Oberoi stare' , cold,assessing her every move
"Anika Trivedi do you know who Tia Kapoor is??" I asked and as the color drained from her face and she swayed abit like was about to fall
I knew two things for sure
1 Anika Trivedi didn't plan anything that happened today
2 She had no idea I was connected in any way to arnav when she rescued me
3 Now I'm 100℅sure that this is the Anika Trivedi that Shivaay bhai is looking for
"Come sit let's talk!" I said softly pulling her the couch to talk about what I'm sure is going to change both hers and Shivaay bhai's lives forever
