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……

OmRu came to Shivaay’s room
Om ”Shivaay , where is Anika?”
Shivaay was in thoughts…..Om called his name once again …
Shivaay ”haa”
Om ”where is Anika?”
Shivaay ”she just left now” he again went into some thoughts
Rudra ”bhayya…everything fine?”
Shivaay ”yeah…yeah…why …why are you asking so?”
Rudra ”nothing…you are lost in some thoughts so”
Shivaay smiled and said ”Even if something goes wrong, you very well know, i will always be there to handle everything”
ShivOmRu hugged each other and they had a obro moment….
Om ”shall we go down now…everyone is waiting to discuss about the sangeet ceremony of Kriti”
Shivaay ”yeah…after you both”
All three left and joined everyone in the hall……there were talks , smiles, arguments, teasing and fun……
with all these the day ended…….Om went to drop Anika …….
————-Wedding Day
The wedding day arrived….Anika readied Kriti and Prinku and planned to go to sahil’s house to get ready….
Om ”Anika i will drop you”
Anika ”no…i bought my champa today…you too need to get ready …so get ready and i will join you in sometime”
Anika started walking…Shivaay came from behind, held her hand and took her to his room through backdoor
Anika ”what happened?”
Shivaay showed his messy room….
Anika ”What’s this…this is not seeming like a room anymore…what have you done Mr.Ritchie Rich” she spoke with widened eyes and her hands cupping her cheeks
Shivaay ”i am not finding your bracelet….now you find it for me”
Anika ”come on ..it’s okay ..no problem…i will get another one for you…it’s getting late and wedding time is nearing…i need to go now Mr.Ritchie Rich….and before that let me set your room”
Shivaay ”no…find the bracelet first”
Anika ”but”
Shivaay ”no if’s and but’s …just find it first and then i will get ready else i am not going to attend the wedding”
Anika ”you have gone mad”
Shivaay ”yes…do you have any problem” he spoke irritated
Anika ”okk fine…you go to the living room, i will find it and call you”
Shivaay ”i will be waiting at the pool side and yes , make it fast”
Anika ”hello don’t order me..make it fast” she said teasing him
Anika started setting things slowly and arranged everything as it was before…the bracelet was found under his pillow….she went to Shivaay and showed him bracelet…his face got lightened up…
Anika ”now wear it and i am going”
Shivaay extended his hand signing her to make her wear it…she did smiling….
Anika ”now shall i go?”
Shivaay ”no….you will be getting ready in OM …i my room”
Anika ”you have really lost it…i am not doing any such thing…what will everyone think?”
Shivaay ”mom has ordered me to tell you this”
Anika ”what ? Pinky aunty …said this…i don’t believe you”
Shivaay ”ask mom then..come we will go together and ask her whether she said or not”
Anika ”ok fine..i believe you…but my clothes they are in my home..please Mr.Ritchie rich let me go…say Pinky aunty something..i swear i will come back on time”
Shivaay tied a cloth on her eyes and took her to his room…..
Anika ”what are you doing…is this the time to play hide and seek…come on…let me go”
Shivaay ”can’t you just stay calm without saying anything?”
Shivaay opened a drawer and took a beautiful dress and jewellery out and placed on the bed…he took off the cloth of her eyes …she opened her eyes slowly and looked at him
Anika ”now what?”
Shivaay signed her to look at the bed..Anika looked at it….A smile appeared and she looked at Shivaay with twinkle in her eyes
Anika ”this dress is so beautiful….are you gifting this to Kriti or Prinku?”
Shivaay ”it will look more beautiful if you wear it…now go get ready…we both will go together down…understand”
Anika ”what…i mean this is for me…”
Shivaay ”yes this is for you…and i am not joking”
Anika ”i can’t wear this Mr.Ritchie Rich…this is not correct…already you and this family is doing so much for me..now this dress , i can’t take it…and see the jewellery…it’s so expensive…these all are not for me…Mr.Ritchie Rich…i am a lower middle class gal, who sees only those dreams which i can fulfill…not beyond that…and these all things are not for me….my status is not so high to show off all these…don’t take me wrong…”
Shivaay didn’t speak a word…he took her to the window and made her look at their friends…Pinky and Dinky were giving all of them dresses and jewellery for the wedding….Anika looked at Shivaay
Shivaay ”Ms.Surpanaka…we are not doing anything special for you…all these days of wedding, you did everything as if it’s your sisters marriage…..arrangements, decorations, shopping, make everyone ready, etc, etc…not to forget you did the job of a waitress too (remembering how she served Tia the juice and bared her tantrums) …and we just took your services …all these materialistic things are nothing before what all you did…so don’t you dare to deny…my family treats you as one among us…you can deny me but not them”
Anika hugged Shivaay with tears of happiness running down…
Shivaay ”enough of your rona dhona…let me check whether there is some water pot installed beneath your hair…whenever you feel tap opens and tears run out”
Anika hit his chest playfully…he wiped her tears and kissed her forehead and said
Shivaay ”i want my surpanaka to be the most beautiful among all ..i don’t mind if you look beautiful than the bride”
Anika blushed and left to Shivaay’s room and closed the door…
Shivaay ”i will be waiting for you…don’t make me wait for too long”
After around half an hour the door opened…..Shivaay turned to see her…he stood still, without uttering a word….his looks were same as those when he saw Anika in kodaikanal during the party of Mr &Mrs Martin silver jubilee anniversary….
Anika ” am i looking okay?” She asked him
Shivaay ” etheral…”
Anika ” what?”
Shivaay TAM “if i had a chance , i would not mind to marry you and make you mine at this point…but” he became sad
Anika saw his looks getting changed and said ” i said na , I cannot carry all these like you all…i am happy with my little things….i will change and come” she turned to go
Shivaay held her hand and said ” sometimes you must understand unspoken words…i have no words to tell you, how gorgeous you are looking…i just wish, i could walk hand in hand and tell proudly to the entire world , that you are …..” he stopped at once
Anika eyes widened , she composed herself and said setting his collar
Anika ” what if we cannot walk with hand in hand before entire world, we can walk till the staircase to living room” she winked
Shivaay and Anika walked with hand in hand till the staircase that connects to the living room
Anika ” i will go first , you come later” she left from there leaving his hand
Shivaay felt as if she is slipping away from him….
Shivaay TAM ” till now I couldn’t do anything…but i must hurry up and do something before everything goes out of my hand”
He got down the steps…..Everyone looked at Anika and then at Shivaay ….they were looking perfect….
The baarat came and all the rituals of wedding happened ……that night Anika stayed back in OM as promised to dadi ji and OF….next morning the vidaii started ….everyone were into tears….Kriti hugged everyone and bid bye….she hugged Anika and said
Kriti ” in these few days I developed a bond with you…i wish to see you as my bhabhi very soon…we all have seen you and Shivaay bhayya, like and understand eachother a lot…you must think of moving ahead with him…”
Anika couldn’t reply anything….she became emotional and cried hugging her….kriti left with her in laws…
Anika handled Dinky and every OF member and when all were set she said
Anika ” i will also leave now…this is the first wedding that i have enjoyed to the fullest…thank you to you all for making me go through this experience and treating me one among you….from next week i will be back to my job as teacher of OmRu and Prinku”
OF tried to stop her, but she denied giving reasons of Sahil and Sundari Bua…they too didn’t force her much….
She turned towards Tej and Shakthi and spoke
Anika ” uncle…this semester, we have to do project ..so can i ask you something?”
Tej ” yes beta..go ahead”
Anika ” can i join in any of Oberoi Industries and do internship and in turn complete the project?”
Shakthi ” Anika beta , we already promised you this when you topped …so you are always welcome…when are you planning to join?”
Anika ” from next month uncle”
Tej ” i will send the letter to you for joining through Shivaay…is it okay?”
Anika ” yes uncle…thank you so much”
Shakthi ” anything for you beta”
Anika left from there……….
————————————A month passed by
Anika stepped into Oberoi Industry for her internship….Shivaay was denied the permission by college management to do project in any of Oberoi Industries…so he took up to complete his project somewhere else….
Tej and Shakthi used to give small works initially…Anika used to do it with perfection….gradually , Tej and Shakthi started involving her in few major works….
One day , Anika was teaching OmRu and Prinku in OM , after completing her days work in Oberoi Industries (OI)….suddenly there were lot of screams from office room, certainly audible in low volumes to all of them in study room…
Anika looked at OmRu and Prinku….they reciprocated the look
Anika ” OmRu , Prinku i will be here in a while..meanwhile you guys continue what you were doing till now”
Anika left towards Office room….She reached and knocked the door
Tej ” come in”
Anika stepped in
Shivaay ” Ms. surpanaka you here? What happened?”
Anika looked at him and turned towards Tej and Shakthi and spoke
Anika ” I heard screams from this room, so i came here…i know I shouldn’t disturb you and involve in your family or business matters….but today I couldn’t stop myself and also this is nth time i have listened the screams….so i came here”
Shakthi ” nothing beta, we were all discussing something important and in that flow voice has gone too high”
Anika ” uncle, i know you don’t want to share the exact matter, but from past few months i have been handling some really important works of you both…also i feel, i atleast have this freedom to ask you what’s the matter”
Shivaay ” Ms.Surpanaka, don’t worry, we will handle”
Anika ” I would not force you, beyond this…but if i can be of any help, please don’t hesitate to order me”
She spoke and left from there….
——————————————————OI
Tej called Anika and asked her to join the meeting along with them that evening.
Shivaay came to office the same day evening and joined Tej and Shakthi in the meeting room….
Shivaay ”shall we start Bade papa”
Tej ”one minute let Anika also come ”
Shivaay ”ohh ..Ms.Surpanaka is also joining…that’s a news”
Shakthi ”today morning Tej bhai saheb decided to involve both of you in the next project”
Anika came in and joined them
Tej ”so Shivaay and Anika….next project is very crucial for us….we already lost few tenders earlier for whatever reasons it may be…this made a huge impact on the other ones…now it’s time we try to start getting back everything….”
Shivaay ”this time i will not make a mistake and get this project” he looked at Anika
Anika closed her eyes for a second and opened it , assuring him that she will be with him …..
Tej ”i believe you Shivaay and do you need any help , just let me know…”
Shivaay ”sure”
Shakthi ”i think you both must discuss about the project estimates and make the tender quotation ready…Anika beta, this will be a good learning experience for you…so all the best to you both”
Tej ”when the quotation is ready, just let me and Shakthi know”
Shivaay & Anika ”sure bade papa/Uncle”
Tej and Shakthi left the room and Shivaay and Anika started understanding the project and were noting the estimates of each work…
After three days , Shivaay and Anika got the quotation ready and went to Tej and Shakthi….Tej and shakthi were happy with the effort and work they put in….
Tej ”i am so happy and i strongly believe that we will definitely grab this project and will recover the losses very soon”
Shivaay held Anika’s hand under the table and pressed it……Anika was excited and nervous at the same time….
Tej ”Shivaay go ahead and submit this tender…all the best…we will in tow days get to know the results….”
Shivaay did what he asked ……..
After two days the result was announced and Oberois lost the contract…everyone was depressed including Anika….she couldn’t believe that they lost it……She met Shivaay
Anika ”Mr.Ritchie Rich….i can’t believe we lost it…i mean how can this be possible?”
Shivaay ”Ms.Surpanaka you few days before came to office room in OM and asked me what were those screams right…today i will tell you….before this tender we bidded 4 other tenders, but we lost all of them….so bade papa was taking out his frustration by screaming himself infront of us…losing all those tenders constantly had got us a bad name in the market and from then on the business was turning into losses…we thought to recover to major extent with this project , but it was unfortunate that we lost this too…”
Anika ”now, what’s the plan”
Shivaay ”now i think bade papa will be taking up loan to rebuild his business or ” he face shrank
Anika ”everything will be alright Mr.Ritchie Rich…didn’t we learn in our academics that few losses cannot imply a complete downfall ”
Shivaay ”let’s forget it for sometime Ms.Surpanaka….we are already stressed….”
Anika also became sad…Shivaay noticed it
Shivaay ”it’s okay Ms.Surpanaka…i am not the one to give up so easily…i will still try to handle everything in my own way”
Anika ”i know you will…but i am sad for something else”
Shivaay ”what?”
Anika ”we are getting close to the end of our Post graduation and then all of us will have separate ways …we don’t know when will we meet again….our lives will get separated and move forward in different direction” she spoke sad
Shivaay realised then that they were merely left with few days of college….
Shivaay ”Ms.Surpanaka…you are not going to leave me okay…don’t you even think…and don’t you even think of separation and all”
Anika didn’t speak anything…….
—————-university campus
The campus selection of the students started and everyone except Sid-Tia-Mallika-Daksh-shivaay attended, as they had their own businesses to handle
Anika was hired for a mind-boggling package from an MNC , she took up the offer…..MMR , Raghav also got their job offers….
Anika waited for Shivaay to give the good news, but he didn’t turn up…so she thought to give the news to all the oberoi family members…she spent time with MMR and proceeded towards OM …she bought some sweets and then reached OM……….
————OM
Everyone were sitting almost with sad faces in OM….Anika stepped with sweet boxes and greeted them…they smiled seeing her …she offered the sweets and gave the news of getting the job….everyone congratulated her……but Anika could find that something was troubling them very much….
Anika ”where is Mr.Ritchie Rich?”
Pinky ”he is in his room…go and meet him”
Anika left to Shivaay’s room….she entered without knocking…he was standing looking at the pool through his window…
Anika ”Hey Mr.Ritchie Rich..i have some good news for you…why did you not come to college”
Shivaay ”congratulations Ms.Surpanaka…i already got the news …”
Anika ”not fair Mr.Ricthie Rich…i wanted to break this news to you and i am sure Rajini couldn’t hold and broke this”
Shivaay looked at her……
Anika ”why are you so dull? anything troubling you?”
Shivaay ”Ms.Surpanaka…”
Anika ”yes Mr.Ritchie Rich say it…”
Shivaay ”we have only 20 days left for the college to end…and before that there is one more project to look forward to…will you help me with this like the last time”
Anika ”anything for you Mr.Ritchie Rich…shall we start now?”
Shivaay and Anika sat back and discussed and put in lot of efforts , but that project too didn’t give desired result….Anika grew suspicious…….
