Sorry for the name because it was
The only name I can thought of ?
The voice of her Payal echoed through the Oberoi Mansion as she run from here to there checking out the preparations.
She does not want any thing to be left.
She went upstairs and immediately ran downstairs, her ROYAL BLUE dupatta and the her tailed white and blue dress touch the stairs. Once again the “CHAN CHAN” (the voice of payal) echoed in the atmosphere of OM.
“Bus krdy beta! Alreadys bht decorations hogaiyen hain” (Its okay beta! U have done already many decorations) Pinky said as she saw her running down the stairs.
She turned and faced Pinky.
“Bus aunty ji! Thora sa..” She started to say but pinky cut her off
“I knows ur thora sa bhi!” Pinky smiled and she blushed a lighter shade of pink.
“Aunty ji mae bus.. wo ooper ka..mae ooper ja rahi hoon” (Aunty I was just. I’m going up) she run out of words.
Pinky nodded and she ran up as fast as she can leaving her Payal’s bell there on the stairs.
It was the 10th time she went upstairs.
Well she ran towards the terrace up their on Mansion.
It was 4 pm and after an hour her dreams will come true. She sat down there on the terrace thinking about her dreams.
HER POV:
He’ll be here in sometime. Don’t know whether he’ll recognize me or I’ve to introduce myself to him. he have not seen me for last 13 years. Mae tou pehchan loongi. Kia wo mujhy pehchany ga? (I’ll recognize him. Will he?)
AUTHOR’S POV:
She sat there playing with her payal bells. She loves the voice they create.
And now It was 5 atlast. Her heart beat raced as it was the time he’s supposed to come.
HER POV:
Wo aya ya nahi? (Did he come or not)
Mae jakar dekhti hoon. (I go and see)
No I ain’t going downstairs.
ANIKA calm down.. He will come for sure.
AUTHOR’S POV:
She calmed herself down as much as she can. Sitting there she saw the time in her wrist watch “05:05” the watched showed.
Five minutes have been passed. She want to go down. Her heart says go but her mind forbide. Everytime she stands up and sits down.
She closed her eyes after much of her hear and mind fight.
DOWNSTAIRS:
He was warm welcomed as he came after 13 years. He met everyone emotionally. Seeing ur family infront of you was million times better than watching them on Skype. He talk to them every single day but it is far better to watch them infront of you. But he never saw her. Because she never came infront of camera and she didn’t allow anyone to send her photos to him so he never saw her but she had seen him.
Seeing the whole Oberoi Mansion decorated so well he complimanted it.
“Iss qadar hassen sajaya hy!” (Its beautifully decorated) he obsereved the whole lounge, stairs, main door etc and said.
Would have she been here, she will be jumping up and down in happiness but ALAS! She wasn’t here.
“Sab uss ka hi kaam hy!” Told Om as he saw his brother observing the house.
“Uss kon?” (Who) he questioned at once not really knowing who did this.
Everyone looked at him in shock but he ignored it.
“Tu freshes hoja, Mae khana lagwati hoon” (You get fresh) Pinky said and he nodded.
Climbing up the stairs, something came under his foot. He pick it up and saw it. A small silver coloured bell.
His lips automatically curved in a smile.
HIS POV:
Ahhhh!!
She still does this.
Careless.
AUTHOR’S POV:
He took the stairs to the terrace. Maybe he knows she’ll be there only.
AT TERRACE:
It was 5:30 now. In the silent atmospehre her heart beat was clearly listened. She stand up from her place and turned to see the outside of Oberoi Mansion.
A black coloured car was parked there.
ANIKA’S POV:
Wo aagaya. Wo aagaya!
(He come. He come)
AUTHOR’S POV:
She screamed with happiness. She jumped up and down in excitement. She loves to this as her payal bells make voices. Her favourite voice “CHAN CHAN, CHAN CHAN”.
In this process, she stumbled a bit. She’d knew she’ll fall down.
Closing her eyes she let herself fall on the ground.
When 10 seconds pass by she felt that she isn’t on the ground.
ANIKA’S POV:
Zameen tou sakht hoti hy na! (Ground is hard)
Mae zameen pr nahi hoon.
AUTHOR’S POV:
Opening her one eye she saw a man staring at her. Finally opening her second she saw a handsome boy. And Ofcourse! He had saved her.
She composed herself and stand on her legs.
She turned back to see the car still their.
“Tum bilkul nhi badli!” (You haven’t change a bit) he said.
She let out a sigh. Her heart beat became slow. Her lips curving into a smile.
“Ab bhi payal torti ho” ( U still break payals)
He continued.
She let him speak.
“Kuch andaza bhi hai kitny ghunghroo hain tumharay mery paas?” ( Do u have any idea how many payal bells I have of you?) He asked her with a smile on his face
She stay quiet. He could easily listen her breathes.
“Mae jab se aaya hoon tum khamosh hi ho. Aur jahan tak mujhy pata hy tum itni khamosh rehney wali larki nahi ho. Aik min! Tumharay sath koi hadsa tou paish nhi aaya jis mae tum goongi hogai ho??”
( From the time I have come u r quiet. And I know that u do not remain this much quiet. Wait a minute! Have u gone through an accident in which u lost your voice) he asked being shocked.
And this angered her. How he dared to call her that and now she decided to tease him.
“It’s nothing like that just that I… I don’t talk to strangers” Anika said at once with a smirk on her face
“Strangers??” he wasn’t shocked at all but he was smiling
“Yes!” Anika replied
“Oh! Seriously SONIYA, u don’t know me” he called her out with some other name
Listening that name she felt relaxed, her heart beat became normal and she smiled, it wasn’t a normal one but a relaxing smile. A smile that made her sure that he remembers her
“Tum mujh se baat nhi karogi Soniya??” (Won’t u talk to me?) He asked in a sad tone. She wasn’t facing him so his expression weren’t change. He was still smiling.
“Acha! Mae jaata hoon” (Okay! I’ll go) he said and turned around.
He stopped as something stopped him. It was her hand.
Her gentle touch made him turn at once.
“I…..I….I am sorry!” She blurted out.
Having tears of happiness in her eyes she looked straight into his eyes.
“Well! Strangers ko sorry nhi bolty!” he teased her.
“Shivaay…” she made puppy eyes.
“Ahhh! Congrats! Your memory is back” he said being sarcastic.
“Tanz tou mat karo!” (don’t be sarcastic) she complained.
“Tou kia karoon?” (So what should I do?) Shivaay asked.
“Bola na sorry!” she complained again
“Acha its okay! You want to listen this na” he said sarcastically.
“Shivaay! Please na” she said stomping her foot on the ground and her payal bells making voices.
“Bachpan ki aadat gai nahi na tumhari.” Shivaay smiled hearing the voice.
Anika smiled lightly. She turned towards the stairs side to move downstairs but soon as she walked that way she stopped. His hand holding hers. He pulled her with a jerk.
She lost her balance due to that sudden pull and fell back. But Shivaay saved her again.
“Ab bhi girti ho?” (U still fall) he asked still holding her.
“Tum ab bhi bacha lety ho” ( U still save) she said looking into those kanji eyes. A beautiful memory from past flashed infront of their eyes.
FLASHBACK:
“Soniya. Give my chocolate back” he was running after his Soniya.
“I’m sorry Shivu! But yeh ab meri hogayi hy” (It is mine) she said running ahead of him.
She didn’t notice and she reached the stairs. She stumbled and was about to fall when her little strong arms prevented her from falling.
“PAGAL HO KIA” ( Are u lunatic?) He said being angry
“GIR JATI TOU?” (What if u had fallen?) He continued.
She was only afraid by his anger. Still holding her in his arms he saw little tears forming at the corner of his eyes.
He make her stand and.
“I am sorry Soniya” Shivaay aplogized.
“Its okay Shivu! I know tum mujh pe ghussa iss liye hoty ho becase u care about me” Anika said wiping her tears.
“Haan! So be careful!” Shivaay said.
“Hum chocolate half half khalety hain. Theek hy?” (We can share the chocolate. Okay?) Asked Anika.
“haan okay!” Shivaay said.
They both sat down on the stairs and ate the chocolate.
Pinky and Jhanvi was seeing this all from the lounge. The both smiled.
“Inn dono ki weddings tou mae kr ky hi rahoon gi” pinky said seeing jhanvi and jhanvi smiled.
FLASHBACK OVER
They were in the same position. He holding her and she looking in his eyes.
“Soniya, can u please stand up? My hand is paining” Shivaay said looking in her eyes.
“I am sorry Shivu” She said standing up
“Acha suno! Ye mujhy aaj seeriyon par mila” (Listen! I find this on the stairs) Shivaay said showing her the ghunghroo (payal’s bell)
Anika laughed seeing that. Shivaay held her hand and took her to his room. He make her sit on the bed and goes towards his cupboard. He brought the small wood box and placed it infront of her.
She raised her eyebrows in order to ask what’s this?
“Iss mae poory 40 ghunghroo hain. Ye wala 41 hy!” (this box have 40 payal bells. This one is 41th) he said again showing her that.
“Are u sure” Anika asked
“100 % se bhi zaida” he replied.
“Okay! Lets see” she said opening the box.
As soon as she opened the box, she saw many payal bells shining in there. He asked her to count them and she counted. And….. to her utter shock they were 40.
“Kitny hain?” (how many are they?) He asked smirking.
“40” she replied looking at him unbelievingly.
He put the 41th ghunghroo in the box and kept it back in the cupboard.
“you know they are so precious for me” he said looking at her.
“Kyn?” she moved towards the cupboard.
“U know” he said finding some clothes to wear.
“How do I know” she said peeping in the cupboard and offering him a kurta. A white kurta.
“Drama queen!“ he said taking the kurta from her hand.
He moved towards the bed and she closed his cupboard.
“Waisy tum blue dress mae achi lag rahi!” (you are looking good in this blue dress) he again said removing his watch.
“haan bus dil cha raha tha tou pehn lia” she replied with a smirk
“Really?” he asked moving towards the washroom.
“Really!” she replied from the back.
She sat on his bed and saw his watch.
The same watch he gave him before he was leaving.
“Anika???” he called her coming out from the wahsroom.
“Haan?” she looked at him
“Should we go down?” he asked and she nodded.
They both came down and sat next to each other.
Many dishes were kept on the table but he chose Aaloo paratha and Anika tou loved that.
(Actually she made them)
“They are so tasty!” he complimented eating the paratha.
She blushed a little.
“Thank you!” she said under her breath.
After eating the lunch, shivaay retired to his room. And Anika followed him.
As soon as Shivaay reached his room his ear caught the voice of her
“Singapore se mere liye ki laye?” (what u have brought for me from Singapore?) Anika asked excitedly
“Tumhary liye?” (For you) he says remembring.
“Kia nhi laaye?” (Did u not bring?) She asked being sad.
“laya hoon na” ( I have brought) he said.
“Kia??” Anika asked excitedly.
He takes out the box from his pocket and gives her. She became happy but…. when she opened it, it was empty.
“Shivaayyyyyy!” she shouted.
“Khali hy?“ (Is it empty?) He asked teasing her.
“Haan! Anghooti kahan hai?” (Yes! Where is the ring?) She asked.
“Konsi ring?” he asked.
“don’t act innocent!” she shouted.
“Calm down pagal! Calm down!” he held her hand.
“Ring?” she again asked
“but kaisi ring?” he asked being confused.
“wohi ring jo tum mery liye laye ho!” (The ring u have brought for me) Ani said.
“But I didn’t bring one!” he replied her back.
“and btw why I’ll give u a ring!” he asked.
“because I know u will! Because u love me” she said.
“and If I don’t love u then!” he asked again.
“then I do love u na!” she replied unconsciously without thinking.
“You love me?” he asked moving towards her.
Now she got to know what she said. She bit her tongue
“pyar krti ho mujhse?” ( u love me?) Shivaay asked holding her from waist.
“bachpan se” she replied thinking ( Jo hogaya so hogaya! Now confess Anika)
“And what if I don’t?” he questioned her
“I know tum mujh se pyaar krty ho!” she said with a naughty smile on her face.
“U know u looks too good when u blush!” he said looking at her pink cheeks.
She smiled and looked towards him
“Answer me! U love me na” she asked pouting.
“I don’t know” he replied with a witty smile on his face.
She looks at him with an irritated expression while he pulls her closer and rests his forehead on hers.
His touch gave her relax and she smiled.
“I Love you too” he said slowly and she blushed.
Parting their heads he took out a ring from his pocket and sliped it into her finger. She looked towards him with a pyar bhari nazar and he just picked her up in his arms and twirled her around. Her payal’s voice echoed in the silent room.
Twirling her hands around his neck they both rested their foreheads on eachother’s once again and felt the mere presence of each other, the feeling they have been waiting for years❤
