'Chapter-26'

"Yeah!!!! yaar... I am coming....don't be restless Shivaay.I took only 15 minutes to get ready." Annika put on her stilettoes and rushed towards the parking area, where shivaay was impatiently waiting for her.

It's not Annika's fault either, she only took 15 minutes to get ready. Umm..... actually add some 20 minutes here and there. Shivaay Suddenly called her and told to get ready for a business party.

She was on her usual time travel. Just Returned from office,was planning to have a long bubble bath and will sip espresso. Under the influence of Shivaay, she started to have whenever she is tired. It regenerates her energy.

Today she can't have her espresso,It was Shivaay's quarterly business meet cum party night. Where almost every businessman arrives. Some to get the nerves, some to get acquittance with so and so of business world. And few to show off. Shivaay hates these parties, mostly because he is an introvert and also because Mallika use to love them.
She would just turn the heat up into these parties ,which means he was forgotten like old rug of clothes.

It's a compulsion, otherwise he would have straightway cancelled it. And would have spend some alone time with Annika. It's been almost a fortnight that they are  sharing same house bit could not get space for them.

However, the idea of Annika's stay at Oberoi mansion was his, sometimes he regrets,not being able to meet her even if she is just inches far from him. He is not complaining but he definitely needs some time alone with her.

Shivaay's breaths hitched when he saw epitome of beauty in front of his eyes. He was swooned by her beautiful aura that walk with her beautifully crafted body. A person beautiful inside out. If his eyes devour the sight his soul finds a solace in her presence. He was such fool to call himself in love with Mallika. He never felt that warmth with her.

He may have found the partner in Mallika but Annika is his soul mate. She walked in beautiful off white fully lace sari, in an off shoulder blouse. Drapped perfectly on her slender body. Those broad shoulders, smooth and silky shining in the evening light, calling out his uncontrollable hormones.A light evening makeup and a minimal jewellery.
Like always she looked beautifully gorgeous. Shivaay was holding his breaths looking at her, even forgetting to blink now.

Annika stood by his side but only to see him gawking at her like a love stuck teenager.

"Lets go then" Annika asked. Only to get a silent sigh from him. His blue dazzling eyes were staring at her lips and eyes in perfect sync. She knew he is awestruck by her, she smiled at his stupidity.

"Now you're not getting late Mr. Oberoi???" She asked when his stare game didn't end after few minutes of silence and a long pause of sigh by him.

"Now, I don't want to go....I want to kidnap you from rest of the world and have you completely for myself..." he said with a naughty smile. She knew his intentions, it's not hard to guess, and was ready to hear it from him. Such filmy and overly cheesy comments and expression become so important when it comes from the one you love.

They entered the venue, almost everyone has already arrived. Shivika being the late ones. And the moment they entered all the attention was grabbed by them. Annika flinched. However hard she tries she can't get use to this extra attention. Attending and answering questions on formal way is easier. Socialising and getting attention only because of whose who!!... is something she hates to oblige as well as  like it.
The photographer and media is  already giving tough time to her. Shivaay snaked his one hand around her waist, a protective jesture he build after Annika's discomfort around people. It gives his ego a boost, it makes him more close to her, showing world that she belongs to her. Don't even dare to look at his girl. And other part feeling happy she feels protective around him.
