His Ex-Girlfriend [Completed]

Chapter 25 | You know my heart.

Recap ~
Potato!

Pretty much everything was finalized for the wedding, in fact there was less than a week left. Sid was disappointed day by day as the wedding day was approaching.

"Why is my Sid upset?!" Anika asked as she entered the kitchen seeing Sid making something.
"Nothing Anu! I'm making noodles, that's all." saying he turned to the other side trying to cut onions.

"That is not how you cut onions Sid!" Anika chuckled as she saw him struggling with the cutter and onion.
"I will do it for you." saying she took it from him and was cutting when she noticed tears in Sid's eyes.

"I'm cutting the onions and tears are dropping from your eyes?!" She asked to which he said back instantly, "Onion's effect, Anu!"
"Onion's effect or because of me?" She asked holding his hands this time when he said covering his face, "Onion's effect only."

"I know Sid." She said tears brimming her eyes.
"Sorry Anu. I'm actually upset because Shivaay is marrying Tia and not you!" He said hugging her tightly.
"No problem, Sid. You are there na!" She said winking and he chuckled.

"Finish the left wing decoration and wind up by 6.00 PM" Anika said to the workers when they nodded and left. She was walking in the hall when she saw a set of series lights lying in the corner.

"Oh God! These people will waste time searching for this set now. Let me keep it with the rest but looks the wires are a mess." sighing, she tried untangling the wires to order it correctly but her efforts were in vain.
"Please God, help me with this!" She groaned falling on the couch nearby.

"Are you going to sit here and play with these wires or do some wedding preparations?!" She heard her boss from behind.
"Planning to play, would you like to join as well?!" She replied back sarcastically.

Surprisingly, he took the wires from her and untangled it while she just admired him remembering one of their good old days.

"Anu I wish you were here to help me!" Shivaay groaned as he tried fixing the model he built for his project but wasn't able to do much.
"Someone wants my help?!" Anika asked as she joined him in the multipurpose hall after her classes.

"Not required. Shivaay Singh Oberoi can do anything!" He said back with much attitude.
"All right!" Saying, she slowly took the glue kept on the table and started to fix the model while he didn't deny her.

"Did you finish yours?!" He asked when she shook her head, "Didn't even start!"
"Want my help?!" He asked when she said back with the same attitude "Not required. Anika Mehra can do anything!"
"All right!" Saying they laughed out together.

Anika was still lost smiling to herself when she heard a voice, "Done dreaming?!"
"Won't you ask about whom!?" She asked smirking.
"It would be your boyfriend, who else!" He tried sounding sarcastic and she said back winking at him, "You know my heart Shivaay! Of course I was thinking about my secret boyfriend."

"Secret boyfriend?!" Tia as usual interrupted them and Anika said, "Yes Tia! You didn't know?! Shivaay is my secret boyfriend." and left not bothering to listen to their reactions.

Shivaay shocked, Anika rocked.
(Right? 😉)

"Rubbish!" Tia spoke out of irritation but somewhere she was scared.

Around four in the evening, Anika was with Tia and a florist.

"Mr.Parth, we would like rose, lilly, orchid, hydrangea, cherry blossom, and peony. Everything in pink shade for the wedding day." Anika said when Tia added, "Craspedia in pink as well!"
"Tia, that wouldn't match for the wedding day as..." Anika was interrupted by Tia, "Everything can't happen according to your wish. Please don't dream that it's your marriage Anika!"

"Tia, for your information any person having some brain knows that Craspedia is only in yellow color and can't be found in pink!" Sid said as he joined them.
"As if you know a lot, Sid." She spoke sarcastically.
"Anika is your wedding planner, let her work hard! You chill na." He fake smiled and muttered to himself,"You needn't use your peanut brain you dumbo!"

Anika chuckled hearing Sid's not so soft voice while he was highly disappointed that Tia couldn't hear his statement.

"Craspedia will be included for the haldi ceremony Tia ma'am!" The florist said to which Tia nodded happily. Little did she know Anika already added that flower kind for the haldi.

"Please send us the flower samples by tomorrow Mr.Parth!" Anika said and the florist nodded before he left.

Anika was chatting with Sid in the hall while Shivaay and Tia joined them.

"Tia I wanted to talk to you!" Sid stated and she spoke back showing attitude, "My ears are listening Sid."
"Actually it's a secret about your Shivaay baby only." Sid said to which she answered, "My Shivaay baby has never hidden anything from me."
"A perfect joke! There are definitely a hair full of secrets he has hidden. Come!" saying he dragged her from there to let Anika and Shivaay spend some time alone.

Anika was about to leave but Shivaay stopped her.

"Anika I need to tell you something!" He started, when she said "I'm listening... But I really need to hear only the secret you are trying to bury within your heart!"
"I'm not planning to tell that!" He blurted out when she smirked, "So there is one!"

He bit his tongue mentally scolding himself.

"There is nothing at all!" He stuttered, and she said back, "A lie!"
"No truth." He said when she argued "Absolutely a lie!"
"No no" he said, "Yes yes yes!" She continued folding her arms.
"No Anu!" He said tired of this Yes-No game, "Yes my billuji is very bad at lying."

"Yes!" He finally confronted while she smiled listening to him calling her Anu after ages.
