“Beta is Shivay fine now?” the old lady, mommy of Anika Mukherjee asked over call. “Yes aunty as compared… he is fine, doctor said that he got his right leg fractured, he would get fine in a month or two and rest of his body is in good condition. The hight wasn’t much right so the fall didn’t affect his body much” Om replied eyeing his elder brother who is asleep. “Yeah… I asked Anika too that why Shivay came to her room that too from window at night but she was highly irritated” Mrs. Mukherjee replied. “It’s okay to…

“Di… di… where are you Ms. Anika Mukherjee, di…” Ishu happily jumped around while calling her di continuously. “What happened Ishu?” Anika came listening to her sister’s pleasant but not so pleasant voice as she was literally shouting. “I got it… I did it… I love you di” madam, Anika has asked what is the matter and here you are jumping and dancing around her uttering these. “What? What did you do?” she repeated trying to get freed from the hug… but… alas… the hug tightened. “My group got the Udaipur project” Ishana at last left her di from the…

“Open the damn door” the fierce lady banged the door to get silence as the reply. “I am not here because of you, I am not even concerned about you… just open this damn door” she banged again. “Okay last time Mr. Oberoi, open the door” naahhh… he just sat inside doing something that no one knows listening to her voice. “Done… I am going” she went to the hall and all the eyes focused on her to get a reply but her disgusted face clearly said what had actually happened. “Beta please… please don’t go, if he listens… he…

A week has passed Shivay has went back to New York, no phone calls to anyone except to Om for just saying that he is fine and he is trying to return back soon. Their aashirvaad rasam and all other rituals got postponed. He is purposely not picking up her calls and she understood this very nicely the previous day when he cut the call on it’s first ring. “Pick up the phone damn it” she expressed stumping her foot. ‘The number you are trying to reach is not answering your call, please try after sometime’ …beep beep… “Why the hell is…

“Maa” Shivay calls his mom as maa very less often. He being taught in high class elite school he just learned to call his mother as mom and not maa, same condition with his brothers and sister. But now when he is calling her as maa and not mom then its obvious that his mother would look at him with the affection that mom doesn’t has. “You at this time Shivay?” Mrs. Maa turned back towards him and his father looked up. “Nothing maa… I just wanted to sleep with you two today just like I used to sleep in…

“Di, get ready soon… aaj dekhbe Shivay jiju tomar opor theke chokh soratei paarbe na, Shivay jiju will surly be mesmerised by your beauty” as usual Ms. younger sister was so very happy for her sister. “Kuch bhi… listen we have to build our relationship, it’s just the beginning” Ms. elder sister tried to defend but deep down she also knew that their relation is in a very good phase of beginning. Today is the day, Shivay’s family members are coming to their house to finalise the marriage, she has won hearts of all the members and specially Rudra. “Rudra is…

“Hey you are sitting here?” a manly voice came from behind breaking Anika’s trance. She looked back and found Shivay standing there. “What happened Shivay?” she asked pulling out one of her leg from the cold and calm water of the pool. Shivay came forward and sat beside her dripping his foot in water. “Do you remember our first meet Anika?” he asked putting his hands over hers. She came close and rested her head on his shoulder. He wrapped her through her shoulder. “Hmm…” Anika softly hummed. They both closed their eyes to remember their crazy, weird but the…

“Where the hell is he?” Anika checked the time over her phone and looked around to spot a known face in the crowd but she got disappointed. No scope of dialling number and asking him that where the hell is he‍, but she waited very patiently though freaking out at times since three long hours now. “Did he arrived Anika di?” Rudra called the tenth time now since these three hours. Last three times he started the sentence with excitement and ended it with tension. “No Rudra” Anika also felt bad for this poor brother who is waiting to listen…

Three days… exactly three days have passed that Shivay went to New York, exactly three days have passed that Anika is seriously missing him, exactly three days have passed that these new, very new friends have spoke to each other over phone. Well… just the hi, hello and how are you and their conversation ended. Both of them didn’t know what to speak so they had to hung the call every time unwillingly. Anika is checking her phone since half hour now as his calling time passed away thirty minutes ago and he has not called yet. “This stupid human… ami…
