So here is my third chapter,
Shivay was noticing her carefully, why was she behaving odd? What is wrong with her? Did I do something wrong? She is nothing like the old Anika. What happened to her in the past few years? He felt that his mind will burst with questions but right now he needs to focus on Anika, just Anika. He noticed Om, Gauri and Rudra standing on the entrance. He signaled Om and he came inside with a fresh wide smile on his face. Gauri was also coming behind him. Shivay left Anika’s arm which he was holding.
OM: Anika! you should be punished, all of a sudden you just left. Remember years ago you promised me that you will give me haircut, remember? Cheater… look how long I have been waiting for you to come and give me a haircut (Om held a strand of his long hair and showed it to Anika who was just standing there silently) I am telling you now you have to give me a free haircut.
Gauri was smiling on her husband’s innocent efforts to make Anika smile but by far it was not effecting her.
RUDRA: Anika didi you know without you I was so bored (Rudra came in front of her and tried to make puppy face which was a very bad attempt cz he was looking like a total idiot) these two evil brothers (he pointed towards Shivay and Om) they just make fun of me. bhaiya is always bussy with his boring business deals and O is always busy with his extra long hair and now he also got married and every time he is just looking at Gauri Bhabhi like Romeo. (Om felt like punching Rudra on this line) and I am just roaming around in this house like a udaas panchi.
“SHUT UP RUDRA” (both Shivay and Om said at once)
With a swift action Rudra fell on the sofa.
RUDRA: Anika di! Why are you standing like the statue of liberty? Consider it your own house.
GAURI: Anika why are you standing like this? You should rest, you were ill last night and doctors said that you are restless so you should not get out of the bed. You know Shivay bhaiya was with you for the whole night. Taking care of you because you were burning in fever and now you are talking about leaving.
Anika could not say a word. What should she answer? There were so many questions for her. Specially from Shivay. She just remained their silent and was looking on her bare feet. Yes she left without saying a good bye but there was no reason to stay back. She wanted to run away from everything but the more she tried to run the more she got closed to her past. She was running from one point and after completing a whole journey she realized that she was still standing on the same point. It was like a circle with no end, you finish your journey on the point where you started your journey.
The awkward silence In the room broke when Pinky entered the room by almost shouting Anika’s name.
PINKY: O MY MATA ANIIIKA! Why are standing? Han? Don’t you know that you had fevers yesterday? Challo go back into the bed. Hare take this and drink it (Pinky handed a green color liquid to Anika while every one in the room made faces due the pungent smell of that liquid) come ons… drink it. It is very effective for fevers. Whenever Shivay gets cold I always give him this karra and my raja beta never refuses to drink it. (she said this by looking proudly at her Raja beta, only the Raja beta and his brothers knew that Shivay always throws out that liquid when Pinky left)
All three brothers were looking at each other with amusement. No one can stand in front of Pinky. She was so loud that the other person has to surrender. Anika was now sitting on the bed and Pinky handed her the glass. Everyone was giving her tips about fever and how she should take rest. Dadi and Jhanvi also came into the room and now literally everyone was surrounding Anika. she was looking at every one and was listening to every thing they were saying to her. After a long time she ahas seen so many people concerned for her. Four years passed but this family didn’t changed. They use to treat her like this four years ago and now still they are treating her with the same love and affection. Without blinking she was looking at everyone. She was like the center of everyone’s interest and Shivay was standing near the door. By putting both his hands in his pockets he was looking at Anika who was surrounded by his family. he knew that she can never say no to all of them. He knew that she will stay. A small smile crept on his face when he was looking at the sweet confused face of Anika but that smile vanished within seconds when a question came into his mind. Where is Daksh? The last time he saw Anika, she was happy with Daksh. Did he left her? Did he died? Why is Anika so sad? What are you thinking Shivay, just hold back these questions, the important thing is that Anika is hare.
The idea of Daksh marrying Anika made him sad. He has thought allot about this possibility. Obviously those two must have got married. Remember Anika use to love Daksh and probably Daksh also loved Anika. he didn’t knew weather he should be happy or sad.
Two three days passed, Anika was still in Shivay’s room. Shivay was temporarily living with Om because Gauri refused to let Anika stays in the guest room and Gauri was living with Anika in Shivay’s room. She was not properly recovered so Gauri was there with her twenty four seven. Whenever Shivay visits Anika there was always someone with her, trying to cheer her up but the maximum she would do is to give a small smile to the other person but still every one was trying their best to make her happy and comfortable. Shivay noticed that Anika was ignoring her. Whenever he came to meet her she would pretend that she is sleeping or if she is not sleeping she would pretend that she is so tired and need some rest. Shivay wanted to ask her many questions but things were very awkward from her side. It was not her old Anika. she was totally different. Rudra and Gauri were trying their best to cheer her up but she was lost in her own world.
One week passed and Anika’s condition was the same. She just use to lay there in the bed and try not to speak with anyone. Shivay came home and found Gauri and Om in the kitchen arguing on some topic, he decided to go from there because he did not wanted to listen to their personal talk but Gauri stopped him by calling his name. he turned and went into the kitchen where both of them were standing.
GAURI: Shivay bhaiya! I don’t think Anika is getting any better, I mean she does not talk to anyone. I think she wants to talk but then something is making her quiet. I don’t know what is it but Om and I think you should talk to her. I mean you were her best friend and no one can understand her better than you. Om think that we should take her to a doctor but I believe that she does not needs a doctor, she only needs a friend. So I think you should talk to her.
Shivay also wanted to talk to Anika and now he decided that without wasting any second he should go and talk to her.
SHIVAY: Thakns Gauri! You are right, I will talk to her, in fact I am going to meet her. And Om you should be thankful to God, your wife is very intelligent. Shivay gave a side hug to Gauri and then left from there.
GAURI: So Mr Oboroi! Now you know how lucky you are to have a wife like me.
OMKARA: Wife or friend?
GAURI: What do you mean?
OMKARA: I mean are you my wife or are you my friend?
GAURI: Can I be both?
OMKARA: You can be both but you are not, you are a friend and you know this very well because a husband and wife’s relationship demands allot.
Now Gauri was silent and Om was looking dead serious. Obviously he wanted her to face the reality. She should know that only calling her his wife did not fulfill the meaning of this relationship they are in but Om noticed that Gauri was looking puzzeled and he cant see her like that. He promised himself that he will never ever make her sad. If she is happy with this relationship then he is also happy.
OMKARA: Stupid! I was kidding, look at your face.
Om started laughing, although he did not felt like laughing at all but just to make the atmosphere lighter he was acting to laugh. Gauri who was starting to feel guilty and confused was now angry.
GAURI: That was not funny Om, for a moment I thought you were serious and i didn’t knew how to answer your weird question.
Om was still laughing, it was the only thing he could do. Gauri still angry on Om pushed him a little due to which his hand touched the flame on the stove. Before Om could react Gauri got hold of his hand. His skin was getting red and Om saw tears in her eyes. It was burning, not on his hand but in his heart. He was amazed to know how much he loves her, he cant even see a single tear in her eyes. But Gauri was dragging Om towards their room. Om wanted to say something but she was walking so fast that he couldn’t say anything. In the room Om was sitting on the bed and Gauri was applying ointment on his hand. Luckily it was a slight burn but Gauri was crying countinously, she was acting like this, extra sensitive girl. It was because of her, she was crying in guilt. “Gauri its ok, please don’t cry. Its not hurting, its just a minor burn” but Gauri was crying. Omkara went near her and with his hand he wiped down the tears on her cheeks. It was a new experience for her. His touch felt comfortable. For a second she looked at him then something came in her mind.
GAURI: Do you know? Whenever I gets hurt my mother use to do one thing.
OMKARA: What?
Gauri picked up his injured hand and brought her face near to his hand. Om was just looking at her with astonished and confused face. She brought his hand near to her lips and kissed on the side of his hand. That was the last thing Om was expecting from her. He was shocked. this made his hand burn even more, only he new which type of burning it was. Gauri gently placed his hand back on the position and she two realized the boldness of her act. What was she thinking. She felt shy and embarrassed but on the other hand Om was sitting like a statue. Gauri kept sitting there for a while and then she left the room. Both were awkward but Om was happy and Gauri was confused.
Anika was sleeping on the bed, but she was sweating in her sleep. By tightly holding the bed sheet in her fists she was continuously saying some thing, “leave me…please, why are you doing this? Leave me”
When Shivay entered the room he saw her in this condition. She was saying this sentence again and again. Her face was red and tears were rolling down from her eyes in her sleep. Shivay just ran towards her, he held her by her shoulder and shook her. ANIKA! ANIKA! What happened?
Shivay patted her face with his hand. He was getting worried. “ please leave me” she was saying again and again. This time Shivay shook her badly, she opened her eyes in horror and saw him looking at her. She was shaking badly and Shivay was trying to calm her down. He tried to place his hand on her shoulder but she jerked it away. Shivay was a little shocked. anika moved away from him and dragged the blanket on herself as if she was trying to protect herself from someone.
SHIVAY: Anika! its ok, it me. its ok. You probably had a bad dream thats it. Its ok.
But she was looking at him in disbelief. She was so scared and her breath was uneven, Shivay went out and came back with a glass of water in his hand. Anika gulped the whole glass and this time Shivay went a little near her and said.
SHIVAY: Anika I know there is something which you want to say, please tell me what is wrong? I am your friend Anika, you can trust me.
He was looking at her with all his love and concern. He wanted to hug her. He wanted to make her happy, he wanted his old Anika back but for that Anika has to talk to him.
ANIKA: Shivay! Can I sleep? Can we talk later?
Shuvay felt defeated, he had no option left. He cannot deny her. With a sad smirk he got up from the bed and said
“I know you have been ignoring me, but please Anika…. please tell me. whatever problem you are in, let me be a part of it. Let me help you. Let me…” he was in the middle of saying when he realized that Anika has slided into the bed and she is pretending to sleep. Shivay stood there for some time then he left the room. The moment he left the room a tear escaped from Anika eye and made its way towards the pillow. “how should I tell you Shivay, how? How should I tell you something which I don’t even want to tell myself” and this night went also like her other nights. Painfull and defeated.
In the morning Shivay went to the kitchen and found Pinky and Dadi there. Both were making something special. Shivay went near them and said
SHIVAY: Good morning ladies (he gave a kiss to dadi and Pinky)
DADI: Good morning. Hare Billu taste this,
Dadi gave a spoon full of kheer to Shivay and it was delicious.
SHIVAY: Dadi this is brilliant, is it for me?
PINKY: No this is for Anika, you stay away from this ok?
SHUVAY: But what about me?
DADI: You make your own breakfast khoteya, waisay bhi its not your birthday. Remember I always make kheer for you on your birthday.
SHAIVAY: This is not fair yar, I have to wait for a whole year for your kheer.
DADI: You find it delicious because you get it after so long. Otherwise this will become ordinary for you.
Dadi was telling this to Shivay but his mind was somewhere else. BIRTHDAY… How could he forget. Tomorrow is Anika’s birthday. How stupid of you Shivay.
Dadi, Mom I have a plan. Its for Anika. remember she use to love birthdays, even on my birthday she would take gift from me. now I want her birthday to be special.
PINKY: O MY MATA! Functions in this house agains… mummy g what should I wear?
Both ladies were talking to each other in excitement while Shivay left the kitchen in hurry, “I will make you smile, I will make you happy Anika, I promise”
PRECAP
Anika was shouting and Shivay was trying to calm her down, she was crying by holding his collar and Gauri decided to find out about Anika.
