“I’ll NEVER ASK YOU TO BRING THE STARS FOR ME, BUT I WOULD LOVE TO SIT AND WATCH THEM WITH YOU…” She spoke …..Took a pause and continued
‘’As I have my star with me, beside me and for me to shine even when there is absence of moon… and now I don’t get scared of darkness because my SUN is with me … ‘’
She looked at him with glowing eyes……..He looked at her lovingly…………
———————SOMETIME BEFORE—————————–
It was decided by Dadi that the ring ceremony of Shivika and Gauri-Omkara would happen…….
Everything was decided and the ceremony was to be held the same day evening ………Except Pinky and Omkara everyone was happy………
Everyone left towards their rooms to get ready……
Shivaay ‘’Anika come with me …I have something important to talk to you’’
Anika nodded her head and left along
Anika ‘’what happened Shivaay……..why did you call me? Anything important?’’
Shivaay ‘’I think we need to find the person who is helping Nayantara in this house…so keep an eye on her ‘’
Anika ‘’okay…I will do that but ‘’
Shivaay ‘’but?’’
Anika ‘’But now I need to get ready for my special day’’
Shivaay while moving towards her repeated ‘’Special day…….’’
Anika ‘’yes ‘’ she smiled
He held her and looked into her orbs……..
————————SHIVAAY DREAM ————————
Shivaay ‘’if you would have expressed yourself … I would have made every day special for you’’
Anika blushed and spoke ‘’what do you mean?’’ he still was moving and she was taking steps back
Shivaay ‘’I mean the same what you are trying to understand or I must say what you understood’’
Anika looked here and there, unable to look into his eyes and said ‘’I did not understand anything and I don’t understand anything about what you are saying’’
Shivaay ‘’ohh…so you don’t understand…do you want me to explain’’
Anika was now turning red…..
Shivaay held her hand and pulled her towards him………and put his one hand between hair and ears and was brushing her face with other hand….
Anika ‘’Shivaay, what are you doing? Someone will see us like this’’
Shivaay ‘’what am I doing? I am just keeping my wife close to me’’
Anika pushed him and said ‘’I am getting late…let me go’’
Shivaay ‘’I have held you to keep you always with me not to let you go’’
Anika ‘’ahaaaaa….aren’t you becoming too much filmy’’
Shivaay ‘’many more things happen in films’’
Anika ‘’I know …but you never expressed….’’
Shivaay ‘’so did you …you too never expressed’’
Anika ‘’I will Shivaay when right time comes…I will confess all my feeling towards you to you ‘’
———————–SHIVAAY’S DREAM END
Anika ‘’Shivaay leave me please…it’s getting late’’
He came back ……….
Shivaay ‘’what? ‘’
Anika ‘’where were you lost…it’s getting late …I have to get ready’’ saying this she ran away……..
She ran away…….after reaching Prinku’s room she thought
Anika POV ‘’I can understand that you were thinking about me and I will make you confess your feelings today Shivaay’’
Anika was smiling in Prinku’s room ………while Shivaay was smiling in his room……….
Shivaay POV ‘’she is so special to me and I need to make her day more special….but does she feel the same about me…….what am I thinking…I am Shivaay Singh Oberoi and I cannot think like this….ohh no but in front of Anika I am Shivaay……….just Shivaay……what if I make her confess her feelings….yes this is good…..once she confesses I will also …’’
He patted his forehead and smiled continuing his thoughts about Anika………
Rudra came in……….
Rudra ‘’shivaay bhayya why are you smiling?’’
Shivaay didn’t respond……Rudra shouted ‘’Shivaay bhayya’’
Shivaay ‘’Rudra…Rudra when did you come here?’’
Rudra ‘’when you were lost ’’
Shivaay ‘’what …what do you mean by I was lost’’
Rudra ‘’I mean you were lost in Anika Bhabhi’s thoughts’’ he did his intelligence wala sign
Shivaay ‘’how do you know…I mean …how can you say so?’’
Rudra ‘’experience bhayya …experience….’’
Shivaay ‘’ohh…you are saying as if you were many times in love’’
Rudra ‘’love? When did I talk about love?’’
Shivaay ‘’woh…woh…don’t change the topic’’
Rudra ‘’ohh hello bhayya…I said you were lost in Anika Bhabhi’s’ thoughts …I never spoke about love…by the way you and talking about LOVE…some mismatch’’
Shivaay ‘’ok enough…enough…Rudra…..let’s leave this topic here……tell me why you came here?’’
Rudra ‘’to help you…Dadi asked me to help you…so I came here’’
Shivaay ‘’what…I know what to wear how to wear …so what help will you do to me’’
Rudra ‘’so you mean to say you don’t need my help…’’
Shivaay ‘’exactly…I don’t need your help’’
Rudra ‘’fine…I thought I will let you know what Anika Bhabhi is wearing I mean which colour and I was trying to get you colour coordinated with my Bhabhi…now since you don’t need my help I will leave…bye bhayya’’
Shivaay ‘’ok wait…wait…tell…….tell me’’
Rudra ‘’no…I am hurt now…I wouldn’t’’
Shivaay ‘’I will give you whatever you ask for but let me know Rudra’’
Rudra ‘’how desperate…ok fine …I don’t need any gift…..I will tell you without any bribe…after all you are my Shivaay bhayya ‘’
Shivaay smiled and hugged him …..
Rudra ‘’by the way you love Anika Bhabhi right?’’
Shivaay ‘’what the wuck…why do you want to know’’
Rudra ‘’out of curiosity’’
Shivaay ‘’shut up Rudra…now tell me the colour…..’’
Rudra ‘’ohh ya ….golden and Green’’
Shivaay ‘’thanks and now leave…and wait one more thing keep your mouth shut about me asking you to tell me the colour of the dress Anika is going to wear today ,else …you know what I will do ‘’
Rudra ‘’mouth sealed’’ he signalled zipping of mouth………
Rudra left smiling and Shivaay was reminiscing Rudra asking him about whether he loves Anika or not….he smiled happily………..and said loudly YES I LOVE HER
—————–
Anika got ready and Gauri and Anika came down……….
Om and Shivaay were seeing their respective wives…they were mesmerised to see them ……..both were looking ethereal…..
Rudra ‘’I am feeling as if angels are coming down to earth’’
Shivaay ‘’true….she is beautiful…….’’
Anika’s and Shivaay’s eyes met……..and Anika was getting down involved in a near-far eye lock with Shivaay …..Shivaay too couldn’t take off his eyes from her……..
She got down and tripped when Shivaay held her hands…..they were lost in each other’s eyes and Rudra had to interfere to bring them to this world……..
Rudra played the dhol and Shivaay-anika danced crazily….the family joined and they had a splendid time……
After the dance, Shivaay and Anika slipped ring to each other’s fingers…..Shivaay held Anika’s hand and hiding from everyone took Anika to a side from where no one can see them……
Anika ‘’you have again done this?’’
Shivaay ‘’what have I done?’’
Anika ‘’you again held my hand and brought me here…what was so urgent that you couldn’t wait for some time’’
Shivaay ‘’now if you stop I can say’’
Anika ‘’ok fine…tell me’’
Shivaay ‘’we are abnormal right?’’
Anika ‘’what?’’
Shivay ‘’I mean normal people first fall in love, then get engaged , then get married…but in our case we first got married , now got engaged, then ……..’’ he stopped
Anika ‘’then what Shivaay?’’
Shivaay ‘’then …then ….ok fine leave it…I brought something for you’’
Anika ‘’what? ‘’
Shivaay ‘’sweet surprise’’
Anika ‘’ohh you bought sweets for me…how nice’’
Shivaay ‘’will you ever think other than eatables’’
Anika ‘’mmmmm’’
Shivaay ‘’I have bought bangles for you…now don’t say that you can’t accept it as you are Anika …I have bought them with LO….’’ He stopped again, and held her hand to make her wear……..
Anika stopped Shivaay…Shivaay looked at her……
Anika ‘’I will accept but not so easily Shivaay…’’
Shivaay ‘’what do you mean?’’
Anika ‘’I will make you wear me these when you will tell me what you stopped in the middle just before’’
Shivaay ‘’what did I stop’’
Anika repeated Shivaay’s words ‘’ normal people first fall in love, then get engaged , then get married…but in our case we first got married , now got engaged, then ……..’’
Anika ‘’then what Shivaay…why did you stop…complete it then I will wear these’’ she looked into his deep blue-green orbs and spoke huskily…..
Shivaay pinned her to the wall….and she breathed heavily…….her cologne was making him go crazy and his being nearer was giving her a tough time to control her feelings for him…..
Shivaay ‘’then…then..’’
Anika ‘’then… Then..’’
Shivaay ‘’nothing…then nothing’’
Anika was disappointed …she left him and said ‘’Coward Singh Oberoi…..I will take these bangles when you complete the sentence…now I am leaving’’ she left him and went away
Shivaay POV ‘’this was such a golden chance …I could have just said this…why can’t I tell her….umm wait..I wanted to make her confess then why would I say… I will do it very soon..’’ He too left to join family members……
After everyone left Shivaay entered his room ……Anika was nowhere to be seen……but he was hearing some music from poolside…….
Anika was listening to romantic chartbusters and smiling seeing the ring her dearest husband slipped on to her finger……she was reminiscing the moments between them since morning………
Shivaay walked towards the direction from where music was coming…..he saw Anika listening to music being in her own thoughts………He went near her and sat before her……
Anika looked at him and smiled…….
Shivaay ‘’what’s the matter ….you seem to be happy’’
Anika showed the ring and smiled
Shivaay ‘’ohh you like the ring so you are happy’’
Anika frowned and nodded her head in negation
Shivaay ‘’no…you don’t like the ring so you are happy…you are …you are really strange Anika’’
Anika patted his forehead and signed him as mad
Shivaay ‘’oo..Wait a min..Why aren’t you speaking’’
Anika ‘’I was testing you …’’
Shivaay ‘’testing me? For what?’’
Anika ‘’testing you to know whether you can understand my expressions or not…but you terribly failed Shivaay’’
Shivaay ‘’Anika …Shivaay Singh Oberoi never fails…by the way you are terrible actor’’
Anika ‘’very funny…..’’
Shivaay ‘’ok fine jokes apart…why are you so happy’’
Anika ‘’simply Shivaay…I am feeling as if I am living a dream…this engagement , this day will always be memorable’’
Shivaay held her hand and said ‘’true’’
Anika ‘’but I am annoyed with you…you didn’t complete the sentence’’
Shivaay ‘’you didn’t forget still’’
Anika ‘’no’’
Shivaay pulled her close…..brushed her hair…..
Anika ‘’what are you doing Shivaay?’’
Shivaay ‘’what am I doing? I am just keeping my wife close to me’’
She moved apart and said
Anika ‘’I am not your wife…we are just engaged today…….did you forget Shivaay….’’
Shivaay ‘’very funny….you are my wife and this truth will never change’’ he pulled her close
Anika pushed him and said ‘’someone will see us…let me go’’
Shivaay ‘’I have held you to keep you always with me not to let you go’’
Anika ‘’ahaaaaa….aren’t you becoming too much filmy’’
Shivaay ‘’many more things happen in films’’
Anika ‘’I know …’’
Shivaay ‘’accha what do you know’’
Anika ‘’cheapde…’’ she said blushing and turning back…
He held her from back and
Shivaay ‘’what did you want to hear Anika?’’ he whispered kissing her ears from back
Anika closed her eyes in pleasure, turned back and looked at him lovingly…she moved towards his face lifted her toes a bit up and …..
Anika ‘’I wanted to hear about me from you’’ she said huskily in his ears…………
Shivaay ‘’will you feel happy …if I let you know what you asked?’’ he replied cupping her face
Anika ‘’yes’’
Shivaay ‘’fine…’’ he took a step back and then for a while paused and continued
Shivaay ‘’ I don’t know how to express …..but you are really specially for me Anika……I remember how our relation started and how it eventually changed….you have changed me….changed me enormously…even in your absence I can feel your presence……In the absence of light I can feel the presence of light with your smile….in my stressful life you are my relief…..in my tough situations you are my support…..you are the one who binds me with myself…who allow me to be myself….no formalities no inhibitions….I can bring out my every emotion, that I feel.. before you without thinking anything…..……your tears make my heart twist with pain…your happiness wipes away my illness….you are the best deal I have made with my own life…and trust me this deal has only profits….profits for a life time…and that profit is enormous love ………I AM TRULY, REALLY, MADLY IN LOVE WITH YOU ANIKA….I LOVE YOU SO MUCH’’
He said in one go………
Anika had tears of happiness in her eyes…she stood still and couldn’t believe what she just heard…her heart was jumping with joy……but she wasn’t able to move……she was smiling happily …..
Shivaay came to her and held her shoulders…looked into his eyes and spoke
Shivaay ‘’I love you Anika and this is the only truth I ever want you to believe….and I cannot stay away from you’’ he spoke while wiping her tears of happiness….
She hugged him tightly…he reciprocated her hug equally tight……..
Anika ‘’Shivaay…I was dying to listen this from you since we got married……..and today you said….today is a very special day for me…….thank you for making it more special with your confession’’
Shivaay broke the hug and said
Shivaay ‘’but my day will be as special as yours if you would tell me what you feel about me ….will you make my day special Anika’’
Anika nodded ….
Anika ‘’I …I …’’
Shivaay ‘’Anika listen I know you love me too but …’’ he paused and said
Shivaay ‘’I DON’T NEED CHEESY ‘I LOVE YOU’S…….. JUST HOLD MY HAND AND TELL ME “I’M HERE FOR YOU.”
Anika held his hand and said
Anika ‘’I’m here for you always and for ever Shivaay because ……I LOVE YOU AND I CANNOT STAY AWAY FROM YOU’’
Shivaay ‘’Anika…’’
Anika ‘’I have not yet completed Shivaay …let me speak my heart today’’
Shivaay looked on while Anika continued…
Anika ‘’ I’ll NEVER ASK YOU TO BRING THE STARS FOR ME, BUT I WOULD LOVE TO SIT AND WATCH THEM WITH YOU…” She spoke …..Took a pause and continued
‘’As I have my star with me, beside me and for me to shine even when there is absence of moon…and now I don’t get scared of darkness because my SUN is with me … ‘’
She looked at him with glowing eyes……..He looked at her lovingly…………
They both walked towards each other ….he held her hands and made her wear the bangles which he couldn’t in the day…..she smiled looking at the bangles …..He pulled her towards him……
He cupped her face and looking into her eyes said ‘’THANK YOU FOR EXPRESSING YOUR FEELINGS SO BEAUTIFULLY’’ ……
She looking into his eyes replied ‘’THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING….YOUR CONFESSION AND YOUR GIFT AND THIS DAY …ALL THESE WILL ALWAYS BE SPECIAL ‘’ …She looked at him and kissed his cheeks…….
He held her by her waist and brushed her lips…she closed her eyes……..she opened her eyes after a while , when he rubbed her lips with his fingers…she moved closer to his lips and kissed them gently….Shivaay couldn’t control her teasing anymore………..He took her lips finally with full force …her eyes widened and then closed immediately as she wanted this moment to be captured forever in her heart….she reciprocated his kiss and their lips fought the sweetest ever battle of their life…….after they parted for breath…he lifted her up and took her to their room and laid her on the bed….and what happened next was witnessed only by their souls….
