Curse Of Love

His storm

"Guess who?"

Walking on her toes, Annika sneaked from behind and covered Shivaay's eyes with her soft palms making him smile.

Taking her hands in his gently, he kissed her palms and putted them on his heart calming it.

"The only one who keeps me sane despite the crazy things that happens around me."

Frowning at his response, Annika came in front of him facing him. Something is wrong for sure. She could see the stress and frown lines on his forehead. So she massaged softly making him close his eyes and sigh in relief.

She knows him very well to not say anything until he opens his eyes and holds her.

And when he did, Annika couldn't take it anymore and asked him putting her hands on his cheeks, rubbing his beard near his lips with her thumbs.

"What's wrong? What made you annoyed early on Sunday?"

Staring at her eyes which hold so much love and care for him, Shivaay took his time to answer her which made her heartbeats increasing in fear of his answer.

His silence had never been a good sign. Him being quiet means a war is happening inside him.

And she proved right when he leaned down nuzzling his head in her neck smelling her fragrance. He tighted his hold on her waist and made her body come impossibly closer to his body.

'Soothing my soul and calming my heart' he told her when he did it for the first time and kept doing it every time he was stressed.

With a racing heart, Annika caressed his hair with one hand and rubbed his back with the other hand.

They stayed like that for long and when Annika felt that he will not move anytime soon, she couldn't help and whispered in his ear in a soft voice :"Shivaay, Jaanu, you are scaring me now."

Feeling her getting tensed, Shivaay kissed her on her nape relaxing her a bit and moved back but still close to her to maintain his calm.

"Don't, Anni, who will soothe me then, huh?"

He kissed her head letting his lips rest longer on her forehead taking both of their restless.

"Nothing is serious, right?"

"The same family drama again, but it getting worse every time." He paused for a while sighing heavily looking at the waves before him and then added :"This time Dadi was with them."

"They want you to marry soon with a worthy girl and you refused because of me again.". Said Annika with a sad tone lowering her head.

"Annika I will never force you to marry me and they have to understand that they can't force me to either. I will never get hitched without my will." He lifted her head and kissed her nose smiling at her lightly and added : "You are the only worthy girl for me, Annika."

"What if they blackmail you with something you can't refuse?"

She looked innocently at his eyes but he didn't answer and hugged her.
