_______________
“Errr… Vicky wanted us to be happy. And i guess we are (not) being happiest, just like a couple” Anika blurts and Shivaay jawdrops.
“Errr…i mean.. “like a couple” you get the opposite right??” She stammers and Shivaay sighs a chuckle.
He fixes his eyes with hers and moves closer. Slowly places a warm peck on forehead. While Anika stands stunned.
“Vicky would (not) like this, wouldn’t he?” Shivaay says with a smirk.
“You kissed me, only because vicky would want this?” Anika asked quite pissed off.
Shivaay shrugs his shoulders while Anika just pushes his chest away and storms to the bathroom passing her room.
While passing.. she hears a creaking sound in her room. She stops by and peeps in. But finds only a moving window.
“So i’ll get kissed only when Vicky wants itseems. He wont kiss me when he wants to uh?? She rants.
She sighs and moves to the bathroom. It was Newyear eve anyhow. So she promised herself to Wear a beautiful New year eve gown.

Adorns herself with a pearl set, and a six claw diamond stud. Her low curled bouncy hair-do enhanced her classy look.
While shivaay on the other hand, smiles. “You really needed a kiss to calm you down. You actually believed me when i told you that i did it only because of Vicky? Idiot.. i literally want to kiss you every single second. Not with lust.. but with love. Love to the power of infinity. With every forehead kiss i will ensure you that im here.. IM HERE FOR YOU. I will protect you and hold you closer until my last breath” he assured himself and with a satisfied heart he webt in to get himself ready.
He wore his lucky blazer, slided in a rolex watch, and clumsily buttoned his shirt.
They both stepped out simultaneously and had their heart skip a beat.
Both were literally hypnotised with each other’s effect. Their eyelock lasted several seconds. And finally anika broke it and started breathing heavily.
She was smoking hot. Her flawless bronze smokey eyes, nude lip shade, perfectly decent cleavage, and her?
He was deadly handsome. His perfect pompadour, rolled up sleeves, intoxicating Park Avenue cologne, and him ?
Anika slowly looked up to him and had a pissed off face. She walked to him and started undo-ing his first three buttons.
“Even toddlers will button their shirts well. Ek Bachche ki tarah behave karr rahe hain tum. Dont even know how to lock your buttons—” she keeps ranting.
Shivaay smiles and ends to her quickly pecking her cheek.
Anika stops ranting and stands frozen. “Did Vicky ask you to kiss me now?” She slowly asks and looks at him for an answer.
“‘I’ wanted to kiss you. And i still want to kiss you. Am i allowed?” He asks genuinely. He had a pretty serious tone. Anika was utterly dumbstruck.
“Taking your silence as an Yes” He cups her face and she closes her eyes tightly. He kisses her forehead
”Why!?!” She whispers.
“I dont know.. i just (didn’t) feel like kissing you. And… you are (not) Beautiful. Did i tell you that??” he says and looks away. While she touches her forehead and smiles.
Her tummy suddenly rumbles.
He hides a smile and goes to the kitchen.
“Have you no timing?? Grrr it’s embarresing when you shout before him.” She tummy-talks and follows him to the kitchen.
She sits on the slab and he prepares Aloo puri. “You didn’t let me say a No. Before that you just kissed me..” Anika stammers slowly and Shivaay just stares at her. He hides a smirk
She holds his sleeve end and keeps meddling with the button there.
“Sorry! I didnt mean to say that” Anika says lowering her voice.
“If you want.. i will (not) kiss you to compensate..” she innocently asks him.
Shivaay looks at her innocence and faintly smiles. “It’s not necessary” he says and turns away.
“If you want… you can” he spills with a smirk.
“No. Why would i..?!” She rebukes and folding her hands she turns away.
He smiles and once after mixing the Aloo he serves it on a plate.
She jumps up enthusiastically to pick the poori while he pulls it away.
“You applied nail polish and it hasnt dried also… wait ill feed you” he speaks fast and starts feeding her.
She just chuckles seeing him stuff it in her mouth. “I have not applied Nail polish.. it’s okay.. ill feed myself..” she says.
“You know nothing… i saw you applying Nail polish. Errr maybe you sleep walked and applied it.” He justifies.
“If you want to feed me.. say it directly. Why do you build up such stories?” Anika questions with a smirk.
“Haaan. I wanna feed you” he spills in a go.
They both Jawdrop and before Anika could start teasing, they hear a squealing sound.
They both rush to her room and still see a moving window. Side lamp had fell down.
“Must be the curtains!” He assures and they both return back to the hall. It was 11:00 already.
Gauri calls Anika and she picks it up. “Didi.. you havent changed your house no?!?” she speaks all shush shush.
“Didi?!?!.. My goodness Gauri.. tum teek ho na?” Anika shouts.
“Haan haan.. meh teek hoon drama queen. ‘Didi’ was a slip of the tongue..Acha listen… err.. you still live in the same house only no..” Gauri investigates.
“Yeah.. are you sending me something?!? HEY!! THAT HARRY POTTER BOOK ISN’T IT????? you bought it finally??” Anika screams.
“Shit, i forgot. I should be buying you that right?! It’s been six months you begged me for that..” Gauri smirks.
“Begged itseems. You scumbag. You lost a bet. And you still havent kept your promise to buy me that book. Now why do you want my House Address?” Anika growls.
“I was planning to send you cockroaches. That’s why..” she says and eventually shouts “ouch!!”
Coincidentally Anika gets distracted by the same creaking sound inside her room.
“Arrghhh this window is getting on my nerves. Fine pumpkin.. you better send me those books before my next birthday… and hey… Happy…New year!” She wishes finally followed my a secret smile.
“Hmm” Gauri hums and cuts the call abruptly. “Heartless!!” Anika yells and a tear escapes her eye.
“She loves you so much” Shivaay says and smiles.
“You just heard her! Not even a New year wish” Anika complains like a child and Shivaay just holds her shoulder.
“Who called you at 11:00 and spoke about a random topic?? Gauri! Why would someone call just before New year and talk nothing about New year. She was pretending that she doesnt care.. but she really does. I could see that. ” Shivaay sighs and smiles.
“Whatever floats your boat.. but she literally hates me.” Anika speaks out and stands all hopeless. Shivaay slowly walks to the DVD set and turns on light music.
Anika turns to him and faintly smiles.
“Are we guys dating?.. You really (dont) Want a dance with me on New year eve?” Anika raises her eyebrows.
Shivaay just stares at her with a smile and speaks nothing.
“What..?” She smiles and shrugs her shoulders.
He still keeps smiling.
“Dont do this just because im sad.. you dont have to cheer me up..” she speaks up and shivaay just asks for her hand.
“May i please?” He says and even before she says anything that puts his mood off, he pulls her close and starts dancing.
“Shivaay” she whispers.
“Shh..” he shushes her and continues with the flow.
