Hi This is VHM back with a new FF on IB couple SHIVIKA….A slow yet Subtle love story……..
This is completely off track FF on Shivika and a college life and post college life of Shivika based FF…nothing to do with the track of IB….May be few of you can relate to this….you all know the characters and few characters will behave the same way as in real IB…few will be different……The Beginning would be slow and may bore you, but as i always say these beginning episodes will be crucial to form the further story……..
Please ignore the grammatical and spelling mistakes…….Hope the readers would support me the same way as they have supported me till date……based upon the response on this episode, i will be uploading the next episodes……
—————————————————————————-
Mallika ”you are a sweetheart Anika…i must say…this is much needed thing now..i mean hanging out with all of you…after a super stupid survey week….”
Anika ”my pleasure…i thought to meet you all and have a good time..day times are usually busy so thought to invite you all at mid night…have some fun before we get back to our study world…” she spoke stealing glances at Shivaay
Mamta ”Hey where are our gifts?”
Rajni ”my stomach was paining from a long time and i was waiting for monday just to grab my gift”
Madhuri ”so you were not waiting to meet Shivaay and Anika?”
Rajini ”who cares, as long as my gift is with me”
Sid ”not fair Rajni…you must care for me and gift…rest all left alone”
Daksh ”you don’t start flirting now”
Mallika ”stop it guys…”
Anika ”you guys carry on…i am getting snacks”
Mamta ”i am coming to help you”
Anika ”listen …don’t over-act lazy bird…i know you don’t pick a spoon and keep it aside in your house…so just sit back..” she turned to go into kitchen
Shivaay looked at Anika all the way while she went…
Sid ”Dude…she will come back…now tell me what all you visited and did in kodaikanal”
Shivaay ”Sid..listen we went for a competition not for some personal tour”
Mallika ”but still you guys must have gone atleast somewhere na…some scenic places…after all it’s a hill station na”
Shivaay coughed listening to the word scenic places…..
Anika ”Mr.Ritchie Rich you can find water near the dining table…drink it”
Shivaay got up and went near dining table……and drank water…he went into kitchen to place the glass in the wash basin…Anika was busy in frying the samosas…
Shivaay took small steps without making noise and back hugged Anika …..Anika was about to scream..he cupped her mouth….
Shivaay ”it’s me Ms.Surpanaka”
Anika ”uuuuu…..uuuuuuuuu” she tried to speak
Shivaay removed his hands off her mouth and said ”ohh sorry…i thought you will scream”
Anika ”what the hell…go from here …anyone might see us like this”
Shivaay ”i will go…but listen to me once”
Anika ”i am listening …say it fast before anyone arrives”
Shivaay ”You did all this for me right? ”
Anika ”no…absolutely not” she spoke still frying the samosas
Shivaay turned her at once towards him…she hit his chest and held his shoulders in one go…..he looked at her…
Anika ”What are you doing Mr.Ritchie Rich…someone will come” she stammered owing to the proximity
Shivaay ”let them…i don’t care”
”but i care…we have not given any name to our this relation..so i can’t answer anything if they ask me..” Anika said
Shivaay left her at that instance and turned to go…she held his hand and stopped him
Shivaay ”Ms.Surpanaka …leave me..someone will come”
”i was worried for you and i cannot deny your wish to meet me …so i planned this…i just want you to be always happy…and if it’s in my hands or related to me, i will do anything that’s possible by me” Anika spoke…..
Shivaay turned towards her and came near her pulling her to him ”i am scared of losing you Ms.Surpanaka…what if i go away from you? will you be able to handle yourself?”
”why are you saying so? what happened? your words, your face is saying that you are hiding something big from me…whatever it is just say me” Anika asked out of concern
Shivaay tried to say something but
Mallika ”Anika…mujhe bhook lagi hain aur samose ki khusbu meri bhook badha rahi hain..aaoona jaldi ..laaoona jaldi”
(Anika i am hungry and the aroma of samosa’s is making me more hungry…bring them fast and come fast)
Anika ”Coming Mallika, all set” she shouted back in response
Anika looked at Shivaay,
Shivaay ”we can talk later…they are all waiting..and i am okay now…so don’t worry..let’s enjoy leaving all worries…so cheer up”
Anika ”i will …if you will”
Shivaay hugged her and planted a forehead kiss and took the plate from the kitchen slab and marched towards his friends
Anika smiled and brought the other stuff and joined her friends…..
Madhuri “come Anika…sit beside me” she said when Anika was about to sit next to Shivaay
Anika smiled and sat beside her tilting her head twice looking at Shivaay, Shivaay made sad faces….Anika teased him sweetly…
Mamta “now what shall we do?”
Daksh ” hey..there is a good movie to be telecasted now…shall we watch?”
Anika-Shivaay “movie? Again?”
Now rest others together “Again ?”
Mallika ” did you both watch movie together?”
Anika ” no..” …. ” absolutely no…i mean how will we watch movie together” she said trying to cover up the matter
Shivaay “yeah …exactly…” he backed Anika
Daksh ” then why did you say AGAIN ?”
Anika “nothing …i meant to say i ..i watched a movie in the morning..and I don’t and can’t watch two films in short gap”
Shivaay ” i too..yes..i too did the same”
Rajini “something is fishy…are you both hiding something from us?”
Sid “exactly…you both are upto something…now before we find out ourselves and tease hell out of you…it’s better you say it”
Anika ” which movie do you want to see…i will play that” she tried to let go off the matter”
Mallika ” now tho pakka i am saying there is something running behind us, which you both are not telling us”
Mamta ” are you both dating each other”
Anika and Shivaay’s eyes widened in shock and they looked at each other
Anika ” haww…hawwww…matlab..really you said that…who will date this Mr.Ritchie Rich akdu”
Shivaay “and who will date this Ms.Strange Surpanaka…”
Anika ” if i am strange…you are alien”
Shivaay ” you are …you are..haan..you are pakdu”
Anika ” what is pakdu”
Shivaay ” you said me Akdu…so to rhyme it i said pakdu”
Everyone burst into splits…Shivaay winked at Anika without being caught…Anika blushed
Anika ”Daksh which channel?”
Daksh said her the name and they sat back to watch
Anika ”is it a horror movie?”
Sid ”off course ..during nights do you get to watch comedy movie or what…and you know what the best time to watch horror movies is this time…late in the night”
Anika looked worried, the horror in her life was enough, she never watched horror movies again….she was clearly getting uncomfortable….Shivaay didn’t notice her….
The movie was going on and Shivaay turned towards her side …he could see Anika being uncomfortable…
Shivaay ”guys ..you just carry on..i am feeling sleepy ..after the movie i will just wake up” he signed Anika to come to terrace..Anika nodded
Anika ”Shivaay ..will you sleep in open air in terrace…you will be getting amazing sleep”
Mallika ”ohho you both…go to terrace and talk…don’t disturb us” she said munching popcorn and spill it in fear once in a while
Shivaay ”you sure?”
MMR-SD-Mallika ”Offcourse yes..”
Anika ”fine..just give a scream and we will be down..we will be chatting in the terrace”
Mallika ”bye” she waved her hand without turning towards them….
Anika and Shivaay left to the terrace….the moment Anika closed the terrace door…Shivaay pulled Anika towards him …
Anika ”Mr.Ritchie Rich…easy…easy”
Shivaay hugged her tight and didn’t speak for sometime finding solace in her arms….Anika let him be like that and reciprocated the hug rubbing his back…..
After some minutes of that hug, they moved apart and sat against the wall….Shivaay took her hands and sandwitched them between his hands…he looked straight into her eyes and said
Shivaay ”Thank you Ms.Surpanaka …you took my mood to a lighter mode…i am actually feeling relaxed after that hug…what have you become to me….when have you become so important i didn’t realise….what’s this feeling i don’t know…what’s our relation , i can’t name it…but i just wish …..” he paused
Anika ”why did you stop? continue”
Shivaay ”nothing…sit folding your legs…i want to rest in your lap…i am too tired”
Anika sat folding her legs and shivaay rested his head in her lap…she ruffled her hair and he held her other hand….there were no words spoken…shivaay turned aside and put his hands around her waist..Anika felt butterflies in her stomach…she still ruffled his hair blushing….
Shivaay ”You look cute when you blush”
Anika ”shut up Mr.Ritchie Rich…sleep closing your eyes”
Shivaay looked at her and said ”i am serious…you look really like cherry when you blush and if that blush is because of me then how can i sleep”
Anika ”very funny…Mr.Flirty Ritchie Rich” she made him out of her lap and stood up folding her hands against her chest…
Shivaay too stood up holding the parapet wall of the terrace and looked in the direction, she was looking at …
Shivaay ”what are you thinking?”
Anika ”nothing…”
Shivaay ”say it”
Anika ”i never thought we would become so close…infact i never thought that i would believe in any boy again…never thought i will talk to boys sans Sahil again…never thought i will be friends with guys again..so for me all this is like a dream…a dream too good to believe…”
Shivaay tried to speak when Anika cut him off
Anika ”Mr.Ritchie Rich…sometime before you asked me right , whether i would be able to handle myself if you go far away from me…then listen”
Shivaay looked at her while she looked at the sky
Anika ”i will lose my belief in everyone if that happens…i will lose belief on human relations….i will close myself in my small world….and never let anyone intrude again in my personal space….this is my answer for your question ”
She turned towards him after answering….Shivaay didn’t utter a word…Anika smiled and then said
Anika ”and i know , my destiny will not play with my life once again…dadi ji said me, when she came here…my bad time is over and now everything good will only happen…i don’t believe in God , but i believe dadi ji and her trust on her God”
Shivaay TAM ”how to say you Ms.Surpanaka what you are thinking is wrong…your destiny is once again playing with your life..and this time i am the reason…how i wish i could make everything rollback…what if i can’t roll back …i fill find a way to come out of this soup and let nothing happen…for now i don’t want you to panic by sharing my problem…i have to ensure and try hard to keep up your trust on dadi’s words”
Anika what are you thinking Mr.Ritchie Rich….Shivaay nodded nothing and took her hands entwined with hers and brought it towards his lips , kissing them by just looking deep into her eyes……..Anika smiled , blushed and the butterflies and nervousness was evidently visible in her face……
Shivaay ”Your life is so simple and easy na…i mean no tensions , you are contentended and find happiness in small things”
Anika ”everything has its own pros and cons…while your lifestyle has business related tensions ..you don’t have to worry for anything else as you can get any worldly things you wish for…we have everyday worry of how to meet expenses , save money, buy , cook, study …but yes we find happiness in small things…”
Shivaay ”you sure has studied life deep in very young age”
Anika ”i had no option…well let’s leave it…did you ever enjoy the early morning ride without hustle and bustle alongside the beach..did you ever walk bare foot in sand …did you ever smell that dew formed grass….those are the best things for free”
Shivaay ”you know us…we can’t dare to go out in open as media will be behind…so we make our own lawn..but beach is difficult to bring in home Ms.Surpanaka”
Anika ”do you dare to experience those with me?”
Shivaay ”off course yes”
Anika ”come then….we will go”
Shivaay ”now? how?”
Anika ”today i will take you to beach before it gets too bright”
Shivaay ”what about our friends?”
Anika ”i think they might have slept..because it is one and half hour movie and it’s already two hours we are here…and they have not come yet so it means they are asleep”
Shivaay and Anika went down to see all of them asleep in a random manner while TV still running and food scattered…she covered duvets over them, switched off the TV….they both laughed and stealthily went out……
Anika took her champa’s key and asked Shivaay to sit behind…..Shivaay was apprehensive , but he then sat…Anika started and moved towards the beach……Shivaay enjoyed every bit of ride , he first didn’t hold her, but then without his knowledge his hands went over her shoulders….Anika again had butterflies in her stomach….they parked at the beach and walked into it holding each others hands…Anika made experience Shivaay those small moments which he missed in his life…they played with water like kids…while coming back she made him hold his footwear in one hand while his other hand held Anika’s…Anika too held her footwear with other hand, they both walked barefoot …they jumped in sand, made sand castles …ran behind each other ..most importantly forgot their worries ….Anika dropped Shivaay near OM …
Shivaay ”You are the best thing after OmRu and Prinku that happened in my life….today’s experience i will make my little brothers and sisters also experience…and to have the grass experience i will wait for your appointment”
Anika ”my pleasure Mr.Ritchie Rich…i am leaving now…have to send Sid and Daksh before my locality people wake up…bye…see you tomorrow” she drove away without listening his response
Anika reached home and made Sid and Daksh leave from the terrace through ladder …they hugged her and bid bye to her….she smiled and set things that were scattered proper…and started her morning works……
