Part 16
Anika woke up and looked around to figure out the time as it was quite dark still and to her surpise it was just 2:30 in the morning, she turned over and tried to go back to sleep but sleep was miles away. Finally frustrated she gave up trying to sleep and got off the bed and moved over to the window. She wondered what shivaay was doing and decided to find out if he too is awake.
She grabbed her phone frm the side table and texted shivaay
Well shivaay had been in same situation himself – he too was trying to sleep and so was surprised to hear his phone beep so late at night.
A- “are you awake”
S-” yeah ”
A- “missing you a lot”
S-“me too baby. I have an idea lets talk on video call”
Shivaay calls her and move to the lobby so that omru dont get disturbed. Anika too moves out and goes to the pool area.
S-(looks at background, gets surprised) you…you are at oberoi mansion
A- yeah well it was quite late so dadi asked me to stay here only plus prinku and saumya wanted a girls night out
S- so how was your day
A- pretty busy you know almost all preps are done just the final touch remaining. Trust me this events gonna be khidkitod
S- without a doubt ani . I know it will afterall meri Anika perfect jo hai. Anika smiled
A-What abt you
S- hectic but its great that omru are here too. Ani I wanna ask you something

A- of course shiv is that even a ques to ask

S-thanks panika. I love you too good night sweetheart. One day gone two more to go

After they hung up Anika returned to peinku’s room and drifted into her dreamland
Shivaay also retired as tomorrow was a big day for him both professionally and personally

Next day
Conference, delhi
Shivaay impresses all the delegates and investors present with his uncanny abilities of oratory and his perfect,efficient and accurate strategies and game plans. Shivaay was thoroughly accoladed for his skills and as a result he cracked this multi million deal
Done with the business work shivaay left the conference hall pretty pleased with himself and satisfed with the outcomes. He entered the suite and as expected it was empty. After taking a short power nap he freshened up changed into something less formal and went out.
After about an hour drive he reached his destination and entered the large building. With help from the staff he entered a hallway opposite to which was a large cabin. ‘Dr Abhimanyu’ the name plate read , shivaay entered the cabin. A guy of nearly his age was busy reading some files. Looking at shivaay he kept his files aside and got up with a smile -Hi shivaay
S- hey abhi whats up bro
they hugged and exchanged a few pleasantries.
Ab- so Mr Shivaay Singh Oberoi kaise yaad kiya hum me
S- actually abhi I need your opinion abt this. He handed him a case file
Abhimanyu goes through the file and looks up with a confused look
Ab-shivaay whose case file is this?
S- thats not imp just tell me is their any cure?
Ab- yeah its not very critical operation is possible.
S-so will you take up this case
Ab-haan par kaun hai yeh?
S- actually abhi he is family.
Ab- dude I know your entire family but I never met this sahil I guess. Listen I need to know I think I have the right to know abt my patient.
S- ok fine. Yeh meri girlfriend ka chota sa bhai hai mere liye Omru jaisa hi hai infact he is more like a son to me. He met with an accident in which his parents died and he was left crippled. Anika hails frm a middle class family and that time she didnt have enough money for his treatment. My Anika has only one dream ki uska sahil phir say aapne pairo par khada ho sake and I just wanna fulfil her dream.
Ab- dont worry shivaay. After operation and few physiotherapy sessions he would be able to walk just perfectly
S- thanks yaar abhi
Ab- no need shivaay. BTW I am impressed shivaay singh oberoi has a gf finally you fell in love.
S- yeah you are right
Shivaay and Abhimanyu chat for a while after which shivaay leaves for the hotel feeling fully contended-he cracked the biggest deal of his life and even better sahil could be cured. He wondered what Anika ‘s rxn would be when she will see sahil walking without any support.
Hope you like my surprise Anika.

Meanwhile at the art exhibition
Omkara was enjoying himself to the core afterall this was what he loved the most… paintings, statues artifacts..
He was keenly observing each and everything lost in his world of art wondering how much more he has to learn still when a chirpy voice pulled him out of his reverie

G- ohh . You know Anika and sahil keep praising your work all the time.
Om-Gauri chat for some time when om ask her to catch up over a cup of coffee in the evening to which Gauri happily agrees.
After finishing his work at the exhibition om returns to his suite freshens up and leave for his coffee date with gauri
Meanwhile shivaay returns to suite after meeting the doc and wonders why om is taking so long to return. His phone rings and an extremely excited rudra calls shivaay over to a coffee shop. Shivaay wonders what his baby bro is upto and goes to the coffee shop. He meets rudra
S-what happened ?

Shivru reach over to om-gauri. Omri were so engrossed that they didnt notice someone coming.
S- Heyy gauri! What a pleasant surprise. How are you ?
Omri are startled. Om stunned to see his brothers. Gauri is very happy to see shivaay and hugs him shivaay lovingly reciprocates while Omru surprised …(om a bit jealous too)

Delhi
shivomru are have fun enjoying themselves chilling out afterall their motto is- ‘hum saath hai toh baat hai’
They return back to the hotel after partying hard at some HiFi club and the trio relax in their suite.
Rudra lay back on the bed plugging in his earphones listening to songs. Om causually settled on the couch with his poetry books nearby. Shivaay was busy…. going through the gallery of his phone looking at Anika’s pics.
There was a comfortable silence in the room when shivaay’s phone rang… looking at the caller shivaay was really shocked ..he literally pinched himself to see if it was a dream realising that its reality first a small smile came on his face… taking the phone with a full blown boyish grin he picked up his phone and walked over to the lobby.
Omru saw him going ,rudra turned over to Om
R- I bet its Anika di’s phone
O- no its not Anika
R-c’mon O you saw him smiling naa then who else can it be?
O- you know rudra when ever shivaay talks to Anika either on phone or in person just look at him- he has a unique glow on his face his smile his expression are just so innocent so gentle so pure and his eyes have the most gentle but possessive and protective look.
R-so bhai was smiling
O- yes he was but he didnt have that Anika’s shivaay wala look. You know right now when picked up the call he was neither Anika’s shivaay nor the great wall of shivaay singh oberoi rather this time he was just shivaay-a young, carefree, playful shivaay and trust me their is only one person in this entire universe who has the power to bring out that side of shivaay.
R-well O you mean to say…
O-yes I am talking abt him only
There was an awkward silence unfortunately the discussion took a wrong course.
O-Rudy is your phone ringing..
R- yeah
O- rudra alarm is time ?whats the need?
R- O its time for love angel.
Saying this rudra plugged in his earphones back
Om picked up his book and got lost in his poetic land
Shivaay returned after an hour smiling to himself feeling very happy. He sat down next to om
O(casually)- how is he?
S- fine. He really misses you guys a lot. You miss him too naa
O- shivaay is that even a ques to ask? Ofcourse I do rather I should say we all do but does he care.. no naa then why should I feel bad. Anyways I am tired good night.
S(mind) Om I know you are still upset and angry. But dont worry mai sab teek kar dunga.
