Chalte Chalte:A Journey Of Love(Shivika FF):Episode 66

Continuation from Episode 65:

Shivaay returns Sunflower Petals.
Anika is in their room.Reaching the door he opens it without making any sound.On the bed,she is sleeping grabbing a pillow.Awaiting for Shivaay,she has fallen asleep.
There,Shivaay comes and sits beside her.Very slowly he takes her hand in his hand.
Placing it on his check,Shivaay covers it with his other hand.
He says in his mind:

“I did not know that you are my that wish which got fulfilled without even asking.You were in front of me,all the time but I chose to be silent and made my heart too.
I am really Stupid Singh Oberoi.I won’t let you go anywhere Anika.
No-one can snatch you from me.You are only mine Anika.Finally I have given freedom to my heart.My heart’s only wish is you.I have you and I don’t need anything else.
Wish I could tell you what I am feeling right now!I love you Anika…………”

One tear drop escapes from Shivaay’s eyes which falls on Anika’s hand.Feeling the touch she opens her eyes and finds Shivaay:

-Shivaay…You are back?Sorry,I was feeling tired.Don’t know when my eyes got closed.
-It’s okay.Have you had dinner?

-No,I was waiting for you.One second,your eyes…you were crying?What happened Shivaay?She sounds worried.
-Nothing happened.He kisses on Anika’s forehead.Let’s go and have dinner.

Saying that he stands up then pics Anika in his arms from the bed.Anika gets surprised.She says:

-What has got into you?
-I am just happy.Now,no more talks.
Smiling Shivaay goes out of the room taking an equally smiling Anika with him.

Next Morning
____________
Anika wakes up and finds Shivaay is staring at her.She says:

-Could not sleep whole night or just woke up?
-Good morning.
-Morning.She yawns.

-Anika,I want to tell you something.
-Anything serious?She sits up.
-From the time you have come to consciousness,there may be many moments when I hurt you,willingly or unwillingly.For all those moments,I am really sorry.

-What happened to you suddenly?Is weather changing affecting you?Shivaay laughs.
-Just felt to tell you so told.

-I know my husband is Sweet Singh Oberoi.But so much sweetness?Whatever is the reason,I am just loving it.
-One more thing.I am leaving for Mumbai today.
-Why?
-Mom had called to pay a visit.Moreover,our family should know that you are expecting and everyone is going to be promoted,by relation.

-You have not informed them yet?That’s why I was thinking why no-one called me yet.
-There was a reason that’s why I could not tell Anika.

-I understand.We have not planned to have a baby.I am not well and the news of my pregnancy must have made you stressed up.You took time to tell and that’s okay.Mom,I mean your Mom would be very happy to know that she is going to be grand-parent.
Wish I could meet her and take her blessing!

-You will have everything Anika and that’s my promise.Anika settles in Shivaay’s arms then says:
-I want only you,my Sweet Singh Oberoi.He hugs her back with all the love.

Some Time Later
_______________
Shivaay is on the phone.Cutting it he calls out:

-Anika?I am leaving.She comes there.
-Are you ready?
-Yeah.Listen,Gauri and Soumya are here so I will be tension free.Take care of yourself okay?I should leave now.

-One second Shivaay.I have something for you.
-What?
-Close your eyes first.He closes his eyes.

-Now forward your right hand.He does that.Anika brings out a small box.There is a ring inside it.Taking it,she slips it into Shivaay’s ring finger.Opening eyes he says:
-This…..
-A small gift from my side.
-Gift?For what?

-Why?Can’t I gift my husband?Forget that.Tell me,how is it?
-You have designed it right?
-Yes.Our names are engraved on it,together.See.

-So beautiful.Thank you so much.I will not take it off,ever.
-All pleasure is mine…..They get in a hearty conversation.

Later they come outside of the house.Shivaay gets in the car then leaves.As he drives his phone rings:

-Shivaay Singh Oberoi speaking.Who is it?
-Sagar here.
-You?What’s the matter?

-I want to meet you.
-Even I want to meet you too.
-Let’s make it up then?

-I am on my way to Mumbai.Once I return,we will meet.Is that okay?
-Fine.I will be waiting.

Oberoi Mansion

Shivaay gathers around half of his family then tells everything,in his own way.When he finishes,everyone starts hurling questions at him.Only Pinky remains silent.After countering everyone’s questions he says:

Shivaay:I have come to Mumbai to tell you all that I have taken an important decision of my life.
Om:What?
Shivaay:That I will marry Anika following all the rituals.Wedding preparation will start from the next week.In the mean time,proposal will be sent to Anika’s house.Pinky stands up:

Pinky:You have decided everything already?Have you forgotten I am present here too?
Shivaay:How can I forget you Mom?

Pinky:When you brought that girl in my home,I told nothing.When you went Delhi leaving everything behind for her,still I remain silent.Now you are saying you want to marry her?Why Shivaay?If you forgot then let me remind you-I have fixed your marriage with my best friend’s daughter,already.
I have promised her that Tia will be my daughter-in-law.How will I confront her family?

Om:Choti Ma’s concern is right.Almost everyone knows that you are going to marry Tia.That’s why I kept you telling you should be careful regarding Anika and her matter.Now see,things have already gone so far.
Dadi:What happened,has happened.We have to think about present situation and how to handle it.

Pinky:I won’t accept that girl as my daughter-in-law,never.If Shivaay marry,it will be only Tia.

Shivaay:Tell me one thing Mom,have you ever asked me what I want?Whom I want to marry?Have you ever wanted to know my wish?
One day you came to me and declared that you have chosen someone for me and I would have to marry her.
Till now I have met her only three times.Could not even get to know her properly.Tia is a nice girl but I am sorry,she is not fit to be my wife.
I want to marry someone who understands me whom I understand.

Pinky:What lacks in Tia?As far as I can see,she is an ideal match for you.She has all the qualities to be the daughter-in-law of the Oberois.After marriage,you can know her better,all you want.Where is the problem?

Shivaay:I am sorry Mom but I can’t marry Tia.
Pinky:Shivaay,if you………….Dadi stops her.

Dadi:You are Billu’s mother Pinky and you have the first right on him.He has never refused you for anything.If now he is not ready to do your asking then there must be some reason.And don’t forget that Billu has already married Anika and this time she is carrying his child,heir of Oberoi khandan.

Pinky:I don’t accept that marriage.You all her concerned about her but no-one is thinking about me.How will I face the society,Tia and her family?Can anyone tell me?
Shivaay:It’s my life so I have all the right to decide whom I will marry.And I have already decided that.My decision won’t change.
Pinky again tries to tell something but Dadi takes the charge:

Dadi:Pinky,why don’t you try to understand that your son loves Anika?He has found his happiness and his happiness lies with her.Shivaay does not want a love-less marriage.If accepting your words he marries Tia then four lives will be destroyed.Neither Billu will be happy nor Tia and Anika?That innocent soul and her baby will be punished without doing any mistake.
We can’t let ourselves commit such a sin.It’s not late yet.Open your eyes and try to see the truth.I know you are not bad at heart.Anika is a very good girl.She will keep everyone happy.Just think everything for once,in a cold mind.Everyone turns silent.Shivaay goes then takes Pinky’s hand in his hand:

Shivaay:You know na how much I love you Mom?How am I supposed to be happy when you are not?I can’t start my new life without your blessing,without you.Plz try and understand.
Dadi:Billu is right Pinky.We all are with you.Now leave everything behind and start preparing to welcome your daughter-in-law.Pausing for a long moment finally she says:

Pinky:Okay,I need time to think on it.Then I will decide.After all,it’s my only son’s marriage.
Shivaay:Thank you Mom.He hugs Pinky and she hugs her back.
Rudra:Thank God everything is going to be okay.I can drink my protein shake now.Before that,let’s take a family selfie………..They all pose for selfie.

Precap:
Sagar:I want to marry Anika!
Shivaay:What?
