KHIDKITOD SHIVIKA

CHAPTER 49

Awkwardness engulfed both of them. Sharing your first kiss with your love is a bliss but when things aren't as simple, it's definitely weird. Though both of them love each other madly but the confession from her side is still left.

He got up instantly, "I have to go to washroom" and left leaving behind his blushing Anika. A smile crept on her lips and she caressed her lips and blushed even more. Though it was just a peck to be accurate but still.. 

Locking himself in the bathroom, he turned to face the mirror and guess what, he was all crimson red. who said men don't blush? They do for sure. He scratched his nape and smiled broadly, "Kya jadu kia hai iss ladki ne mujhpe. Haaye" 

Anika kept herself busy in roaming the house when he came out of the washroom with wet hair, water dripping from it and she gulped the lump formed in her throat.

"He is sooo hot" her inner self spoke.
"Chi.. Kaisi cheapdi ki tarah bol rahi hai Anika" the good girl inside her screamed.

"Apne pati to taadne me kya burayi hai?" her heart spoke.

"Par abhi tak tumne bataya kaha hai usko ki you love him" good girl put her point.

"Action speaks louder than words. Use pata chal jana chahiye"

"Voice out karna zyada better hai."

"O shut up both of you" she shouted her lungs out while Shivaay's eyes widened in shock

"Kya hua? And kin dono ko shut up kar rahi ho? Hum dono hi to hai ghar me aur dono chup hi hai after that ki... I mean.. " he lacked words to complete his sentence.

"Kuch nahi. Mai Pagal hone wali hun ab" making an irritated face she dashed inside the washroom.

"I thought ki sirf mai pagal ho raha hun par aag to dono taraf hai" he chuckled at his choice of words.

As she came out of the washroom, she saw him in the kitchen humming a song and cooking something.

"Kya chal raha hai?" she asked.

"Fogg" he replied busy in chopping the veggies

"Very funny. Waise aap jaise insaan se aur kaise joke expect kar sakte hai" she rolled her eyes and sat on the kitchen slab.

"What do you mean by mere jaisa insaan?" he questioned.

"Matlab aap jaisa" she said faking her innocence.

"That's what I am asking.. Kaisa? " he repeated.

"Arey kaha na. Aap jaisa"

"Kya bakwas kar rahi ho tum" he scrunched his nose.

"Mere kehne ka matlab tha boring" she said after a minute of silence.

"Did you just say boring?"

"Ji haan" she smiled sheepishly.

"O really? You know what I can much more than you can even think Mrs Oberoi" he eyed her from top to bottom and her eyes popped out in horror.

"Aap ye kya kar rahe hai?" she fumbled with her words.

"Kya kar raha hun mai" he reduced the distance between them.

"Aap m.. u.. j.. h.. "she couldn't complete as she felt his lips near her ear.

He whispered huskily "Mai to wo kar raha hun jo tum kar rahi thi thodi der pehle" he distanced himself and winked at her.. Her breaths became uneven with their proximity and she was huffing profusely.

"Pasta is ready. Jaldi dining area me aa jao" he took the two plates in his hand and moved out of the kitchen smiling.

She got down from the slab and rushed..

He was already sitting and waiting for her so that he could dig into the delicacy.

"Apko ye angrez ka khana kyu itna accha lagta hai? " she asked to divert the topic.

"I can ask you back ki tumhe itna tala hua khana kyu accha lagta hai?" he said.

She munched into the food and she must admit that her husband is a really good chef.

"Accha laga? " he asked with a hope.

"Umm... It's nice par aalu puri jitna nahi" she said and continued.

"Waise dadi ne hume yaha kyu bheja hai? " she asked

"Dekho Anika ab mai jo baat karna chahta hun wo thodi gambhir hai and it's really important at this point of our life" he began and she stopped eating and looked into his eyes.

"Mai baki gharwalo ka nahi janta but dadi wants this marriage to work and wo galat nahi hai. Bhale hi humari shadi jin halaaton me huyi ho par huyi to hai na? We are husband and wife in front of the world par kya hum raazi hai? I had feelings for you Anika aur ye tumhe pata hai lekin mai tumpe koi zabardasti is relationship ka bhoj nahi dalna chahta. I know itna aasaan nahi hai sab aur aage badhne ke liye tumhare man me kya hai ye janna bohut zaruri hai. It's okay agar tum mere saath share nahi karna chahti. Gauri hai, Soumya hai aur Tina bhi to hai. Agar sab kuch man me hi rakhogi to bohut kuch kho dogi Anika. Just think over once." she held his hand and motioned him to stop.

Removing her hand, he said "there is no hurry. Take your time. Mai zara aata hun. Tab tak tum socho and bore lage to bahar garden bhi kafi accha hai." unknowingly he kissed her forehead and she closed her eyes.

"Bye" he said and went out of the house.
