My Destination: Cafe Coffee Day- Chapter 7 by Jerry

Anika came back from the washroom and started combing her wet hair. She began humming a song. She was in her denim jeans and a crop top. Much to his surprise she never looked less beautiful. He looked at her as she was caressing her hair nicely. At that very moment he felt the need to hold her close.

It had been a while since he was waiting for the cheerful girl to take her to Oberoi Mansion. Desperately. He did not have an answer for his urgency for which he woke up early. Just seeing her give him life- which was till now under control of his family.

Anika then woke up Sahil, with difficulty as he was busy saying the famous dialogue everyone uses nowadays- “Di just five minutes. Pucca promise will wake after it.” She made him ready and began combing his hair. Then she took the talc and started applying. Sahil denied “No di please it will not look good, you apply a lot.”Sahil how will you look handsome. Just little see’ she tried convincing. Sahil moved his face on all sides to escape from the torture and finally succeeded and walked away fast as he could. He reached the bus, which was waiting for him and said to himself ‘Bach gaye (escaped)’ Shivaay knocked on the door, utilising the opportunity. He saw sahil moving fast towards the bus. There anika was busy removing the particles of the talc from her eye that was there after arguing with her brother and then there was a knock on the door. Assuming the knocker to be a milkman she reached the door still rubbing her eyes. “Bhaiya ji can you come after an hour. Please.” Shivaay was agitated at her for calling him bhaiya but was now more concerned about her.Hearing no response from the other side, she closed the door, still trying to get that thing out. “Anika I am Shivaay. I came here to take you to Oberoi mansion but I think you need help this time, unlike yesterday” he spoke. “What, Mr Oberoi? What are you doing here. I would have came myself” she spoke surprised. ‘Do you need help Anika.” He was stiff. She nodded slowly. He took Anika in a corner and said “Open your eyes Anika.”Anika replied ‘No its paining. I will not.’ ‘Anika try once.’ She obeyed and slowly, really slowly started opening her eyes. He blowed holding her face gently with concern. Anika was nervous, now because of their proximity. She was feeling fine thereafter and opened her eyes fully. Their eyes met for a few seconds and then he gained his composure. “I am waiting for you outside. Come fast.” He ordered. As soon as shivaay sat in the car he started honking the horn. She muttered something under her breath and then went fastly towards the car. She sat there and began wearing her sandals. He watched her. He was bewildered. “What ? You only said to come fast so I couldn’t wear them. Now when you’ll start the car?” “Okay wait !!” He commence driving. “Oh shit I forgot to inform my boss. Wo toh mujhe kaccha chaba jaayege.( He will eat me raw.) “Then I will kill him. How dare he do something like that with you.” He was seriously angry. “I mean he will scold me. We say like that in Hindi” she replied giggling. Shivaay felt foolish. “I have told him already ” He gained a Thank you at his reply.

“Dadi I am not gonna go to college today” spoke Rudra.
“Dadi I will not go to the gallery today” spoke Om.
“Dadi we are also not going to college” spoke priyanka and saumya in unison.
“Dadi I have told you that I will be going to Myesha’s house but I am not going” spoke Tia.
“Dadi I came, today I am also not going anywhere” spoke Gauri heading towards the main door.
“And dadi today Shivaay bhaiya will also not go to office.” Rudra added extra information.
“What’s going on ? Why is everyone not willing to go anywhere ?” She questioned them.
“Because Anika did is coming to our house.” Everyone spoke enthusiastically. “Who’s Anika?” Dadi was not aware. “You are so outdated my granny” rudra spoke lovingly by holding her shoulders and making her sit.

“She is a manager at CCD and there bhaiya met her” Gauri spoke.
“Bade bhaiya is always fond of her” spoke saumya excited.
“They have something between them, definitely. My vibes are not wrong.” Tia added.
“He was willing to meet her in yesterday’s party too” om spoke.
“I saw bhaiya going to her after we all left the party. Secretly.” Rudra spoke.

It took Dadi no time to understand the situation completely. “She is the takkar ki ishqbaaz for Billu( she is the match for shivaay).” “Yess Dadi” spoke everyone. “You are a brainy dadi.” Dadi smiled at Rudra’s compliment.
