Recap ~
Engaged & Married.

As the sun rouse that morning, Shivaay wasn't able to sleep all night thinking about Anika, his ego did not let him sleep at all. While his friends were still sleeping, he walked out of the tent to be stunned by the beauty around him.

"Truly beautiful." he said mesmerized by the birds chirping, the lake glittering and the breeze hitting him gently. He was still in the same position when he was even more spell bound looking at the beauty added to the nature's beauty. It was Anika who just came out of her tent embracing the breeze to herself. She didn't realize a pair of eyes looking at her when she twirled herself around enjoying the weather. She stopped, panting lightly and laughed softly to herself. Suddenly feeling someone's eyes on her, she checked around but found none.

"Thank God!" Shivaay sighed to himself hiding behind his huge tent. Anika felt weird but suddenly her thoughts shifted to her flashback,

*****

"Anu!" Shivaay called out to her controlling his laugh while she chuckled at their situation.
"We are insane" He continued when she thought, "for each other!" and completed the incomplete sentence in her mind.

It was the trip Anika convinced Shivaay for. They just escaped from their rooms leaving their friends who were sleeping peacefully. Not letting anyone see them, they left to have a blissful walk early that morning in Ooty, their trip destination. While Anika was looking in awe at the light shining brightly through the trees all around, Shivaay was enjoying his girlfriend's view.

"Shivaay look there." she squealed in happiness while he didn't care to look somewhere else except her. She checked if he was listening to her when she realized he was continuously staring or say admiring her.

"Shivaay stop looking at me!" She said embarrassed when she heard back, "Hey I can look at you. I have that right my dear sunshine." he finished as he slid his hands around her waist. Soon she wrapped her hands around his arms, walking all the way enjoying the beautiful weather.

"What the hell are you doing Shivaay!? Hiding from her?! Why and for what! Shivaay Singh Oberoi never hides from anyone." saying out to himself with much ego, he flaunted himself grabbing her attention. Though they didn't want to see each other, their eyes were constantly trying to disobey their thoughts.

Trying to ignore Shivaay, she slowly walked towards the lake to play with the waters and relax herself. She didn't notice him coming behind her to take his revenge for yesterday's night. No one was up still and that gave him a beautiful chance to do what he wanted to.

As she stood looking at her reflection in the waters, she saw another familiar figure behind her in minutes. Before she could take any action she felt a faint nudge from behind. Soon she lost her balance even after trying to equipoise herself and ended up in the waters. She helped herself from drowning by catching hold of a fabric, more precisely a coat. She opened her eyes taking a deep breath to see the same bluish grey orbs looking at her with concern much to her disbelief.


"Are you alright?!" He asked all of a sudden his fat ego vanishing away and she looked at him with much disgust.
"You pushed me and now you are trying to show concern?!" She asked huffing in anger, this made him furious.
"Don't you dare show attitude to Shivaay Singh Oberoi!" he growled at her when she spat, "Don't you try hurting me ever again!" making her way out.

"She pulled me along with her into the waters and now she is showing all her attitude on me! And how the hell did she assume I pushed her!? She is just crazy!" Shivaay thought to himself very much exasperated.

Little did Shivaay know Anika mistook his presence around her and little did Anika know it was just her feeling of being pushed. The wind played a strong role in their misunderstanding.

Anika was walking towards her tent when the girls see her and Shivaay walking right behind her.
"Oho! All wet?!" Mallika asked her friend smirking in the best way possible. Without answering, Anika left to change when Mallika caught hold of Shivaay.
"I'm not asking you why you are drenched but can you just tell if you and Anika fought again?!" Mallika asked raising her eyebrow.

"No Mallika!" saying Shivaay flicked his hair and left.


The return journey to Mumbai wasn't really silent. Anika and Shivaay treated each other just like enemies all their way back which wasn't unnoticed by their friends. It was a week since Shivaay and Anika met in the reunion. There was no day they didn't think about each other. Their thoughts were of no concern and endearment but were of anger and bitterness.


The following day at Oberoi mansion,

"Dadi, is everything fine?!" Shivaay asked his grandmother as he entered her room.
"Billu everything is fine but we didn't start the marriage preparations yet and we don't have much time also." said Dadi very much worried.
"Dadi please don't take tension. Everything will go well!" Shivaay assured her.

"Billu are you sure about your marriage?! Marriage is no deal." his grandmother asked him for the twenty fifth time then when he said, "Dadi, if I wasn't sure about this marriage I wouldn't have given my word to them."
"But billu you are marrying her for business purpose aren't you?!" She asked, hurt clearly felt in her voice. Shivaay didn't know how to answer her question, he didn't want to lie to her as her question had a positive answer.

"Dadi she is my friend too!" Shivaay told when Dadi sighed saying,"But she is not your love. And there is no ishqbaaazi between you two!"
