Happy reading

Anika is not able  to figure out about Shivaay's mood.  Now days , he is behaving so different. That shivaay oboeri , who used to ignore her. And never liked her presence in his life. Now days, he seems everywhere around her. She is trying her best to maintain distance from him. But he is the one , lurking around her and behaving so odd putting her into perplexed.

Annie , suddenly she come out from her daze , when she heard a cute voice.  She look behind and found fatah is coming towards her in high speed having his  arms spread.

LFatah baby" She sat on her knees and took him in hug with her one arm. 

My Annie , I've missed you so much. He said acutely kissing her cheek again and again making her smile. He is the only genuine person she got in her life.  Who loves her dearly. There's no any expectations or  fakeness.  It's pure and beautiful. 

I've missed my baby as well. She caresses his soft cheek and peck him on his forehead.

What happened Annie?? How did you get this thing on your arm. He said  worriedly seeing  her shoulder slung up in sling.

Nothing happened baby. It's just a little injury. It will be fine in few days. You don't need to worry about it ok. She  smiles tracing her thumb on his chubby cheek lovingly.

You don't take care of yourself Annie. That's why , I wanted to stay with you and take care of you. But you didn't stay with me and came into this house. He pout and look at her sadly making anika sighs and she peck his cheek.

Aww my baby. You love your Annie so much. don't you. She smiles removing hair from his forehead.

Yes I do. I really love you Annie.  He gave her his charming smile and hugged her tightly. Anika rub his back and reciprocated.  During that she felt a burning gaze  on her. She is feeling like someone is continuously staring at her. So without thinking anything, she look back and found none other than Shivaay is looking at her with his blue eyes making her hitch her breath for a second. She immediately withdraw her stare from him and turn her face standing on her feet.

Let's go from here baby. She hold his  hand and about  to leave , when balaaj came there having charming smile.

Hey pretty girl , he waves his hand  having admiration in his  brown eyes.

Balaaj you here?? .. she frown finding him in her sister's engagement.  She didn't expect him to come.

Yes I'm here.  Your parents have invited me and my mom and dad. They are here as well. And you know what , they are really excited to meet you. He whispered last sentence bending to her shoulder making shivaay clench his fist tight seeing their closeness.  He is feeling like to grab that bastard and  pluck his eyes out,   for laying them on HIS ANIKA.  As his anika word caught his brain , he stopped and widen his eyes not able to understand  his own feelings.  At this time , he should be ascetic to see his  to be fiance. But instead her , his mind is just occupied by her sister. Who is none other than his ex wife.  Whom he hated until few days before. And now he feels like, he won't able to breath, if he won't see her around him.

Shivaay  she has came ,  his father in law nudge him bringing back into the reality. He first look towards the Bella descending from the stairs. And then he dragged his eyes towards anika , who Is standing with Balaaj having a little laughs on his silly jokes. 

Shivaay " Bella calls his name passing him her hand to help her to stand beside him. But he seems lost somewhere else instead paying attention to her.

Shivaay " she retorts  In irritation making him  come out from his jealousy spell and look at the Bella.

Sorry "he whispered and take her hand in his palm.

Are you alright ?? You don't seem happy. She ask feeling angry on him for zoning out on their special day. At this time he should be drool over her. But he is just not paying attention at her at all and lost somewhere else.

Im happy.  I am. He  trail his finger on his tensed forehead and then fold his arms having poker face.

How I'm looking ?? She ask having blush on her face , all ready to get praise from him

You are looking great. He pass her tight  smile and then yet turn his neck to locate anika. But he got confused , when he found her not there anymore. And Balaaj is no where to be seen either. Fear settled in his heart making him restless.  He  grounded his teeth in rage and about to leave the place, but Bella stopped him holding his arm.

Where the hell are you going?? Engagement is going to start. She snarled in low voice pulling him back beside her. Which made shivaay furious and he snatched his arm from her grip.

Don't even dare bella. Today you have done it. But next time. Don't even think to order me or inquire me about anything. It's been many days. I'm seeing you. You are behaving like, I'm your puppet or something. Whom you will say whatever you want and he will do it. I'm shivaay oberoi. WHO?? SHIVAAY OBEROI. Who do not take anyone's orders.so next time, if you tried to control me like this. Then might , it won't be good to you. Hearing his threat , bella got shocked. She is not able to understand, what got into him that he is behaving like this. He never done like this before. She has habit of charging her orders on people. And it's first time someone has stopped her that also shivaay. She grit her teeth and about lash at him , when her mother came towards Them having rings in the trays.

It time to exchange the rings. She said excitedly having bright smile on her face.

Yeah, Bella pass her smile and grab the ring from the box. While shivaay stood there looking all around the place , expect on Bella.

Shivaay take the ring , she hit him with her elbow gaining his attention.

Huh , yeh. He whispered and unwantedly take the ring from the box staring at it with kneely. It's a diemond ring , having a big stud in middle. It's a beautiful ring. Which he gonna give to Bella. Whom he claim to be in love with. But he don't know , why he is feeling so off to do it. The excitement, then chill , he should feel right now. It's not there. His heart is tightening with the feeling of something wrong. He doesn't seem happy at all. Suddenly , he snap his gaze and his his attention drew towards a melodious laughter. He look behind the Bella and found anika is sitting on one of the table along with his siblings , fatah , and Balaaj. Who is cracking some idiotic jokes   and they are laughing on it and enjoying their pastries. They don't freaking care specially her , about his engagement. At this time , he thought that might, he will find a little sadness in her eyes or something seeing him getting engaged with someone. But she seems doesn't care at all. He agrees, he shouldn't think  like this. Why would he want her to remorse about losing him. As he gave her nothing but pain. But still in corner of his heart , he wants her to be little affected. Bht she is not at all. And looking all chill and enjoying her coconut strawberry cake with fatah and other people.

Shivaay where are you looking at?? People are waiting for us to exchange the rings. Hearing her shrill voice, he squeeze his eyes and look towards the people with tight smile.

Right , he whispered and unwillingly slid the ring in her finger with shaky hands making  Bella have fit of joy. Finally she is his officially fiance. Now not in a world someone can snatch him from her.  After so many struggles, she managed to achieve her goal. she smile brightly and  put the ring in his hand earning applaud from the people. while Shivaay stood there  staring at anika. Who didn't bother to  give him a single stare even. And sitting on her place chatting with his siblings and the balaaj.

Baby , can you stay here with your uncle. I'll be back in a minute. She put the fatah on her chair and left from there remembering about some work. Seeing her going alone , shivaay excuse himself and went behind her leaving Bella confused with his sudden departure. She about to follow him. But  Sofia stopped her holding her hand for discussing something important.

On the other side

Anika comes in her room and  scrolling something in her cupboard, when she felt someone's presence behind her. She slowly tilt her head and startled finding none other than shivaay standing infront of her having stern face. She immediately stumble and lean on the cupboard looking here and there except him. 

Why are you here ?? She asked trying to keep her breath steady  feeling him so near her. 

Why ?? Can't I come here. Hearing his absurd question , she snapped her eyes at him and knitted her eyebrows in amusement.

Yes ! you can't come here. At this time you should be with your fiance. Not here blocking me. She snarled staring deep into his eyes without  melting in his presence.

I'm there. Where I want to be. You can't stop me to come here. Did you understand. He  seethes keeping hand on the cupboard door moving closer to her making her step back.

I need to go.  Please Leave me way.  She stammers casting her eyes on his chest instead looking at his face. 

Why ?? Is he waiting for you. He said in sarcasm making anika confused.

What ?? About whom you are talking ??   You don't know about whom I'm talking.  he  grounded his teeth yanking her towards him resting his both hands on her petit waist.  

Wha ,,what are you doing. Let me go.  She wiggle in his arms pushing him with her unharmed arm  trying to get out of his grip. But he is in another mood and pulled her flash more closer making  her panic.

I'm seeing him lurking  around you so much. Where ever you are going.  He is coming behind you. Ask him stay the fuck away from you. Otherwise, I will break his each and every bone and will feed the hungry dogs. He roars  in his low yet dangerous voice, In her ear making her angry. She grounded her teeth and shoved him away resulting  him almost fall on the ground , if he didn't have grip on his feet.

And you stay away from me.   Next time I , don't want you to even touch me like this. If you did then today I've forbidden  myself to slap you. But next time I won't.  Get this straight in your messed up head.   She glares him with her red eyes and stormed out of the room , without looking back.shivaay grasp his hair in frustration and kick the stool nearby the dressing table.

Outside

Where have you been. ,, As she come back into the party. Her mother blocked her having stern face.

I I was here mama. She whispered tucking her back.

Stay around here only. Don't disappear again. Now go to your sister and ask her , if she needs anything. Ok.

Yes mama , she pass her smile and went towards her sister , who is whispering something in shivaay's ears and he is having fake smile . Partially whatever happened inside, it somewhere scared anika . He never behaved like this before. In her six months of marriage , he never intended to touch her. Always kept a good distance. But today suddenly he came into her room and grabbed her body in his arms and behaved like a jealous man. She doesn't understand what got into him that he behaved like this. At this time , he should be thinking about his future with Bella. But instead he was threatening her to not let balaaj lurk around. As he is not liking it at all.

Bella do you need anything. ?? Like juice or something. Bella stopped talking to her friends and stare at her with annoyed face. She about to say no. But an idea came into her brain and she pass her a smug smile.

Yes actually me and my friends want some juices. Can you get for us. As shivaay heard her he first look at Bella shockingly then drag his eyes on anika. Who is standing having her arm in sling. He open his mouth to say something. But before he does , she nods her head and left to get the juices.

After couple of minutes, when she didn't come back then he couldn't control himself and moved towards Bella, who is busy in chatting with her friends.

Why did you order anika like this. She can't hold all the juices in her one hand. She is injured. If you needed the juice. Then you could had said to waiter or someone. He shouts in his raspy voice without caring about her friends standing beside her. Who seems all shocked with his behaviour.

How are you talking with me shivaay . ,? Bella whisper glaring him.

The way I should be for being a jerk. And you ladies. If you needed juice. Then get yourself. As anika isn't getting it. Saying this he left from there in find of anika. Who didn't come back until now.

In food court side

Shivaay about to call anika , when he stopped seeing Balaaj is standing beside her putting the juice in the glasses talking about something , which is making her chuckle. Instantly his hands curled into fist seeing the most hatred man with her. He don't understand what's wrong with him. Why he always searches ways to get near her. Now that's enough is enough. He has to knock his head down. He won't let him to take advantage of her loneliness. He grounded his teeth and call anika's name gaining her attention.

Mr oberoi , she frowns finding him standing infront of her having red face.

Oh great you are here . Take these juices for your fiance and her friends. I need anika to come with me. My parents want to meet her. Let's go Annie , before anika or shivaay utter something , he grasp her wrist and dragged her along with him, leaving shivaay rotted on his place holding the tray in his hands.

Sir are you alright ?? Waiter said finding him standing in angry statue state.

No im not , he dropped the tray scattering all the glasses on the floor and stormed out from there leaving people startled with his behaviour. Who was busy enjoying the food.

On the other side

This is anika "mom. About whom I was talking. Balaaj introduced her to his parents excitedly having her in side hug.

Oh she is anika.. immediately Mrs saliha sikender hand went on anika's cheek caressing it lovingly.

You are absolutely gorgeous dear. She said admiring Anika's beauty.

Thank you Mrs sikander. Anika said passing her smile in pleasant.

I'd told you , she is really pretty. But you were not believing me. Balaaj grin tilting his eyebrows up making his father chuckle.

Surely she is .. nice to meet you anika. My son always talk about you none stop. Hearing him anika felt weird feelings but she nods her head instead giving them clue of her discomfort.

You guys will make perfect couple. Isn't raza. Saliha said making anika shocked as well as shivaay , who was standing behind them listening everything with his own ears.
