ISHQBAAAZ OS COMPETITION (Entry 9)

Love without sight…

Shivaay sat in the cafe full of people around him. But he was lonely, he felt depressed.

“Why did God had to make me blind, I am so useless, I can’t do anything. Being the heir of Oberoi Empires, I wasn’t their happiness but instead I was a big disappointment. I am just useless” Shivaay whined.

A beautiful girl with long hair, slowly walked towards sad Shivaay and patted on his shoulder.

“Excuse me” She chimed. “Could you please guide me to the front, I want to buy some food, sorry I am blind” She added.

“Well, I am sorry, I am blind too” Shivaay stated.

“What a coincidence, I am Anika, Anika Shrivastav, nice to meet you” Anika beamed.

“I am Shivaay, Shivaay Singh Oberoi, nice to meet you too” Shivaay responded.

“Oh, you must be the nephew of Tej Singh Oberoi, you are well famous then, everyone talks about your family!” Anika smirked.

“I am not famous all that fame belongs to my Bade Papa” Shivaay gulped.

Anika quicky sat next to Shivaay and shifted her hands over Shivaay’s hands.

“What happened, you don’t seem alright, any worries?” Anika inquired.

Shivaay turned away and bawled “I am okay, no worries” in a worried voice.

“Tell me truth, we are friends right?, so tell me the truth” Anika insisted.

“I am useless, being heir of Oberoi Empire, I couldn’t do anything, I was a huge disappointment to them, I am just useless” Shivaay groaned.

“Shut up, just shut up, you are not useless! I will prove it to you, sing a song” Anika insisted.

“What????” Shivaay questioned.

“Just sing it!” Anika demanded.

“What song?” Shivaay questioned again.

“Sing my favourite song Kaabil Hoon” Anika beamed.

“Okay, I am singing it just for you, remember just for you” Shivaay replied.

{Anika’s mind voice: This guy has attitude like his Bade Papa, so Saru}

Shivaay sang the song while Anika enjoyed.

“Wahh, you should participate in Mumbai’s got talent! Your singing is damn amazing!!!” Anika cheered.

Shivaay replied with an instant “no”

“You should participate, for yourself, for me, for all the blind people out there, to make them feel they are not useless” Anika explained.

“I-I would think about that” Shivaay stammered.

“Got to go, see you soon, I mean hear you soon, bye!” Anika marveled.

**Next Day**
Shivaay as usual goes to the cafe. Anika comes too. They hear each other speak.

“Shivaay is that you?” Anika asked.

“Anika you?” Shivaay questioned.

“I said hear you soon, didn’t expect to hear you that soon” Anika giggled.

Shivaay led Anika to the table and they both sat on the chair.

“So what did you think of the talent show?” Anika asked curiously.

“Um-um I-I am n-not sure” Shivaay stammered.

“Just listen to your heart, do you think you could do it. Okay, sing a little louder. Sing now.” Anika advised.

“Fine” Shivaay uttered.

Shivaay sang. He got attention from lots of people.

“Wow, you are soooo good, you should participate in the talent show” People claimed.

“Told ya, you are not useless, please participate ” Anika requested.

“Ya you should” People cheered.

“Okay, fine” Shivaay added.

Days pass, Shivaay and Anika meet on the cafe regularly. Shivaay practiced singing while Anika listened. Shivaay started feeling for Anika and Anika started feeling for Shivaay.

**The day of audition**
Shivaay is nervous but Anika is even more nervous. Its Shivaay turn, Shivaay managed to win judges heart.

**After few days**
Shivaay reached top 3 and he is really nervous for the finals. Anika stood by him and boosted his courage. Its the finals, and Shivaay won the show. He got fame and became role model for blind people.

“Now did you realise that you are not useless” Smirked Anika.

“All thanks to you, BTW I always wanted to tell you this, but couldn’t gather courage to. I love you! And will you marry me?” Shivaay rejoiced.

Anika said yes as a reply. Shivaay put a solitaire diamond ring on Anika’s hands. They hugged. Public saw this and they cheered and clapped.

**After 2 months**
Sandhya (Anika’s mum) dressed Anika up. She finished doing so and Sandhya kissed Anika’s forehead.

“What will happen to me after you are gone. Who is gonna wish me good morning every single day.” Sandhya cried.

Anika wiped her tears and started crying as well.

“Itna senti ho, mujhe bhee rula diya (sorry my hindi is bad)” Anika sobbed

“I am happy that you got a husband like Shivaay who will always keep you happy.” Rejoiced Sandhya.

Shivaay and Anika got married in a big manner. The famous celebrities and businessmens were present. Later Shivaay took Anika to the house he bought by his own money.

Shivika’s life had many twists and turns but their love for each other never ended. Shivaay had got much fame from his singing. He won many contests which include nationals and also international. He became one of the richest person on India. He had enough money to visit London and get an operation done in order to get his sight back. Him and Anika along with the family went to London.

**At hospital**
The surgeon finished doing the surgery. Shivika had bandages all around their eyes. They were laying on beds which were side to side. Shivika held their hand. The surgeon opened the bandages and told them to open their eyes. They faced each other as they wanted to see themselves first. 3…2…1.. and they opened their eyes. Shivika were shocked seeing each other.

“Shivaay is that you? Say something.” Anika questioned.

“Even I can’t believe its you, you were way prettier than the person I imagined!” Shivaay smirked.

“It is you!!! Its this a dream? Pinch me!” Anima demanded.

“Pinch me too!” Shivaay added.

Shivika pinch each other.

“Ouch, that was hard!!!” Shivika claimed.
Then they had a and started crying.

Family members came inside.

“Anu…” Sandhya whined.

Anika looked behind her and saw Sandhya.

“Mumma, is it you!” Anika asked.

“Yes Anu, yes!” Sandhya answered

They both started crying. Sandhya hugs Anika. Pinky came and hugged Anika.

“Oh my mata, I can’ts believes mera heera beta mujhe dekh sakta hai” Pinky smirked.

“Mom, all thanks to Anika!” Shivaay remarked.

Pinky went to Anika and hugged her.

After Shivika sight was back, they have ultimate fun in London. They returned to india and opened a charity for blind people. And opened a training academy for blind people to make them realise their talents. They donated millions of money to charity. Anika became pregnant and gave birth to a princess they named “Dhrishti” meaning “sight”.

The End

We shouldn’t believe that we are useless instead we should find the hidden talent we have. We should also be thankful for having a sight, hearing, smell, 2 hands with 10 fingers, 2 legs with 10 fingers instead of moaning about being ugly, black or too pale etc… Thank you.
