Happy reading

Seeing her in someone else's arms made Shivaay's blood boiled. Already , he was losing his sanity seeing her in the dress. And now this guy , all of sudden came and took her in his arms. Not even once in those six months, he happened to get her in the hug. Nor he got to hold her soft small hands. But this guy , straight away hugged her , without even realising,
She belongs to someone else. No matter what she is still married to him. Court hasn't granted the divorce yet. So technically she is his wife. Then how dare he hugged her like this. How could he touch the woman , who is still in shivaay oberoi's territory. He fumes in rage and curled up his hand tight digging his nails straight into his skin. But that pain is nothing then the pain , which he is witnessing right now infront of him. His heart is literally aching in agony not able to get hold on the thing ,which is belong to him.

"Balaj " what are you doing here ?? Anika ask breaking apart from the guy giving little relief to shivaay , noticing the distance between them.

After finishing the shift, I thought to come and do some shopping. And you ..what are you doing here. ?? You know when I saw you here then I couldn't hold myself to come and see you. You are looking so beautiful. He smiles admiring her tip toe holding her Hand in his palm. Which didn't like by shivaay. But he is holding himself back for not creating any scene infront of the people and specially Bella .

"Annie " who is he ??? Won't you make him meet us.bella grins having teasing smile on her face making Shivaay's blood boiled.

Erm he is balaj. He is the ceo of the hospital, where I work . Hearing her about working with the guy together,  made shivaay more restless than before. That's mean this guy is around her 24/07.

Ohhh I see. Seems like you guys have really good bonding. Bella winks.

Yes , we have. We both are kind of best friends. Isn't Annie. Balaaj said taking her in side hug making her stiffen.

Yes. She smile at him stealing a small Glance from shivaay , whose eyes are just stuck on her face

Oh that's great. I'm really glad to meet you. Now when we have been introduced so well then. Why don't we have lunch together. What's say shivaay. Bella chimes happily joining her hands together.

Yeah of course , he answered halfheartedly plastering the glint on his face , which is definitely a fake one.

Annie change your clothes. We will buy this dress then we will leave. Anika nods her head and left for trail room to get into her usual clothes.

After sometimes

"Let's order " Bella said grabbing the card from the table.

Let me choose for you. I know your likes dislikes very well.Balaj said taking the card from anika's hand , making shivaay almost chock on the water. He grounded his teeth and turned his face away hiding the despise in his eyes for this guy. Who s heading on his nerves now, for showing himself an important person in anika's life.

Oh wow , you seems really close to anika. Why didn't you tell me about this gentleman to me Annie. Bella ask grasping anika's hand bringing her out from her deep thoughts.

Oh I forgot. She whispered leaning on the chair folding her arms.

Have you done night shift. You look so tired Annie. Balaj asked in concern seeing her red eyes.

Yeah , last night was emergency in the hospital. So I had to go around 3 am. Hearing her shivaay snapped his eyes and look at her shockingly. He didn't think that she would go so early to the work. and now Bella has dragged her here without giving her a single chance to take rest.

That's horrible. I'll itself talk to the managing team to not disturb you at late night. I don't want my employees to get so tired. He said resting his face on his palm while staring at her.

Don't you think You should had thought about it earlier. Shivaay said in his soft yet sarcasm tone.

Yeah you are right. It's my fault. I'll look at it personally. After all I don't want to see my Friend tired like this again. He smiles taking anika's hand in his palm triggering Shivaay's anger. He closed his in irritation and stood up pushing His chair back.

I've a meeting to attend. So i think we should leave. He announced in his stern voice making Bella shock.

What ?? But you didn't tell me about it. She said in confusion.

Because I'd forgotten about it. But now I remember, so let's go. He said grasping her wrist in his palm.

It's ok " you guys can go. I can drop anika later. Hearing Balaj shivaay snapped his eyes and look at him angrily.

She has came With us. Didn't she. So now she will go with us as well. You don't need to do favour on us mr Balaj sikander. Let's go now " he gave him death glare and stormed away from there following by both girls ,who are not able to understand ,what happened to him all of sudden that his mood got changed so fastly.

At home

On whole way , Bella kept asking him, what happened to him all of sudden . But he Just told her about the meeting again and got quiet. But anika somewhere feeling like he has done all this because of her. He didn't like the way, Balaj was franked with her. She remembers , when he had hugged her , then that time how his mood had changed. He was literally seemed ready to kill  him any time through his eyes. But she didn't voice out about this matter and sat silently looking out of the window being known that man is still staring at her through the mirror time to time.

After couple of minutes

He stopped the car and bella went in grabbing her shopping bags. Anika also come out and about to head away , but next second a gasp left her mouth when he hold her wrist and shoved her towards the car door holding her arms in his tight grasp.

You  seemed happy with him. Didn't you?

What ?? She baffles

I've seen, how you became excited to see that man infront of you. Your happiness was literally dripping through your eyes.but you know what, I don't care about that.  Your these tricks won't work on me. You would be thinking that seeing you with another man would affect me. Then you are wrong. It will never happen. Seeing him justifying himself without any reason , made anika laugh and she nods her head quickly.

Alright  .. I get that. You don't need hold me like this and tell me that what you feel and what not. I don't care about it mr oberoi.  She said in her clear words removing his hands from her arms. 

Anyways , have a good meeting.  Saying this she gave him stern look and left from there leaving him angry and frustrated behind.

In the office

He try to concentrate on his work. But he's not able to do it. His mind is again and again diverting towards the scenario , when that guy had hugged her. The way his fingers were trailing on her bare arm. It made his blood boiled. He felt like to grab him and rip him apart for touching her such impropriate. In that moment, He tried his best to be unbothered about her closeness with another man. But he couldn't help to not feel anything. His heart was on unease pace. He wished , if he would had remove the moment of his life , when he saw her with someone else. But he can't do it. And it's frustrating him deep down.

Chief , we have meeting with mr Bedford. I've managed to make him wait for one hour. But now, he is asking for you again and again. His secretary pleads him forth time standing infront of him holding the file in her hands casting her head down. But yet again , she got the silence making her sigh in helplessness.

Chief i ...

I've heard it. Hearing his loud yet crisp voice made her jump on her place.

I'm I am sorry sir. I didn't mean to disturb you. But he is here and ...

Ask mr malik to attend it. I'vent keep you people here to chill around. It's your job to handle my work. So go and ask him to proceed without me. And if he can't. Then you and him both can get out from here. Hearing him , she gasp and immediately nods her head.

Ok sir. I'll ask him. I'll ask him. Sorry for disturbing you again. Saying this , she immediately escape from there, before her boss hold her hand and show her the way of out of the building Along with mr malik.

As she went, shivaay lean on the chair and closed his eyes trying to erase the tension. But ends up thinking about it again .which made him feel like to bang his head somewhere with full force.  But Now it's enough is enough . He likes Bella and that's the reality . He can't let anika over power him like this. He agrees,  he is feeling little down because of her sudden departure from his life. But that's doesn't mean , he feels for her  something. So what if that guy had hugged her. She is nothing to him.  He shouldn't feel anything. She can do whatever she feels like. It's none of his business. He should start ignoring her as much as he can. And  it will start from Tomorrow only. If he wants to be with Bella without any hurdles. Then he has to break all ties with anika. And  the first thing, he has to do is that divorcing her officially. Which  he will do  tomorrow's start of the morning. No matter what happens!!With those thoughts , he got up from his chair and stormed towards his restroom to get a cold shower to remove her thoughts from his brain which is literally making him crazy. 

In the morning

Anika comes out from her house being all ready to leave for the work , when she suddenly startled finding shivaay standing infront of the main door , leaning on his  car having his arms fold.  He is looking so handsome in his khaki colour suit. It is enhancing his eyes colour more vibrant.  Anika can't help but check him out with one stare. but  immediately curse herself for losing her senses like this. She shakes her head and about to pass by him ,but his manly voice stopped her.

I'm here to take  you. Lawyer is waiting for us in the court. We have final things to sort out about  divorce. He announced in his   Thick voice,  having his hands in pant pocket. Anika  squeeze her eyes and then turn looking at him with the unreadable eyes. Shivaay try to find something. But ends up being clueless and it's somewhere frustrated him.

Fine, let's go. Good that i don't have to wait longer. Hearing her Shivaay sneers licking his bottom lip  with the tip of hs tongue. Not even once , she showed any remorse or sadness. He was thinking ,at-least once she will say that she has work. and she don't wanna go with him right now ,for delaying the matter. But instead,  she is all ready to get rid of him as soon as possible. Great , that's great.

Are we going ?? Or you have changed your plans. She asks seeing him lost in his deep thoughts. 

Let's go , he  flicks his hair and stride towards his car having poker face. Anika also goes behind him without delaying for more time.

.....

It's been twenty minutes , they have sat in the car. And not even one any of them tried to initiated with each other. Shivaay is time to time stealing glance from her hoping, she will break the barrier of silence between them. But seems like, she is not planing to do it and looking out  almost back facing him.

Aren't you going to say something. Finally he couldn't hold himself and ask her question out of curiosity.

There's nothing to say mr oberoi. We have nothing between us to discuss about it. There was a namesake relationship  between us. and that's also going to finish in few minutes.she answered in her soft voice passing him tight   smile. Which somewhere hurt his ego. Girls die to get closer to him. And this girl is  just so desperate to go away from him. How self centred.

Yes you are right , we have nothing between us. And never  will be ever.  I would never want to keep relationship with woman like you , who didn't hesitate to lay her hand on her sister and tried to kill her. He  sneers having mockery on his face.

You are so good in making stories. aren't you.  I don't think so ,you were in the accident place, nor was sitting in the car with us that you are so confident about me being culprit. I agreed, I was in the car with her. But I didn't do anything which caused her to get in accident.    It was she who ....

Oh just shut up.  I know what is the truth and what not. You don't need to cook a stupid story and try to change my mindset.  I'm not dumb ,who would trust on your lame excuses.  He immediately interpreted without giving her chance to speak further. She sighs staring at him for a minute and nod her head.

You are right.  it's my fault in everything. You can think whatever you feel like.  She whispered and turn her face back towards the window clutching her bag in her lap.

You ... she about to say more, when her phone started ringing. She immediately shoved her hand in the purse and get her phone out. Seeing the balaaj name fleshing on her phone screen,automatically made his grip tighten on the steering.

Hello balaaj , I'm so sorry to not inform you. Actually I've got caught in something. I'll be in hospital in an hour.

Is everything important?? Balaaj ask being concern seeing her going somewhere,  instead coming in hospital. Which is actually really odd. She never does these kinds of things.

Not that important. Don't worry. Anyways see you soon yah. Bye. Saying this she cut the call and push the phone back into her purse.

He seems really fond of you. Isn't he? Anika frown hearing his  venomous voice.  He seems so angry all of sudden.  Which she don't understand why. 

He is my friend and my colleague mr oberoi. There's nothing of him to be fond of me. It's just , he  cares about me that's all.

Yeah right.  I know which care he does.  He sneers gaint sarcasm in his tone , which anika not able to understand why all of sudden .

What ?? What do you mean ?? She frowns.

Nothing , we have been reached.  let's go. Saying this he stopped the car in parking area and got down from the car , leaving her confused with his behaviour. But then she kept her confusion aside and got down following him behind.

On the otherside

Bella had went gym early morning. So she was coming back from there in her car   when she saw  anika and shivaay standing with the man in the court. She first thought,  she is hallucinating.  But when she paid attention , then its in actual anika and shivaay and most thing confused her and thats , they are standing in the divorce court.  Which somewhere sank  her heart in to fear. Bht still , she held her sanity and got down  from the  car. 

Mam, where are you going.  ?? You can't go in. Have you got in appointment. A  security guy asks blocking her way.

I don't have any appointment. But my sister and the fiance is inside.  I just want t meet them. They are there standing. She points out towards  shivaay and anika having  desperation on her cace. .

Oh you are with mr oberoi. You can go in. The guy step away and let  her go inside. 

Here's the divorce papers. You have to sign here mr oberoi.  Hearing lawyer  words , Bella halted on her  place  having widen eyes in shock. She can't believe  what she heard just right now. 

Divorce ?? She  gasp gaining anika and Shivaay's attention. They turn and got shocked finding her standing infront of them having tears in her eyes.

Bella , let me explain. Anika came forward
To get hold on her , but before she does,  Bella shoved her  away making her fell on the table resulting the pen peircrd in her skin making her yelp in pain.

Stay away from me. She screams pointing fingers on her.

Bella , shivaay   Stride to hold her arm , but she just step away shaking her head and stormed  away from there leaving shivaay shocked and scared.

Bella listen bella , he comes running behind her , but she didn't look back and drove away from there. Anika also follow him  calling Bella name. Which triggered shivaay and he pulled her towards him grasping her arms right in his grip making her yelp in pain.

You would be happy right now. Aren't you. You have ruined everything anika. Everything. I hate you.  I hate you so much. Now if something happened to Bella then I will surely take your life.did you understand. He screams pushing her away and stormed away from
There without looking back once to check , if she is fine or not.

Miss , the security guy and other people got shocked seeing her  collapsed on the floor holding her bleeding head and  run towards her in rescue.  But the person who should be care about it the most. He didn't even look back and left in his car behind his so called fiance.

Precap ....... Bella slap anika and call her home wrecker and what not. Later a deathly attack on anika.

Kainat.
