Chapter 29:

Annika was startled when all of a sudden the door was locked, she quickly got up and pulled her home’s door to find it locked.

Oh God…!

Who is it…?

Then the current got cut off suddenly and Annika didn’t know what’s going on.

She moved away from the door and pulled the window nearby but it didn’t budge a single bit.

Annika moved towards the shelf where she kept the candles and lit them. She placed them in the centre of dining table and looked around.

She moved around to find her cell phone but tripped over something only to find a strange doll there.

She threw it away while her heart started beating crazily in fear..

Someone was in her house or is still in her house..

The door won’t lock from outside just like that.

She has to call someone..

Annika with trembling hands took her mobile and looked around in fear of someone popping up out of nowhere.

Annika didn’t know whom to contact since she is an orphan and she didn’t even have any decent relatives nor any close friends but she instinctively called Shivaay..

Annika felt like someone’s hand on her back and as soon as the call connected she dropped it in fear yelling,

“Shivaay”

Annika turned around to find no one there but she knew there was someone definitely there.

Annika’s legs trembled in fear so she grabbed the frying pan nearby and moved to a corner which has light from the candle.

Annika’s brain don’t work in these kind of situations.

It felt like she has gone back to her past, she pulled her knees to her chest and hugged them with one hand while her other hand held on to the frying pan.

~~~~~Annika was barely ten, when she was first adopted into a family.

Little Annika was so happy that she was wanted by someone, accepted by someone.

Annika had been worried when all the other kids get adopted while she was being left behind but she was now happy that a nice couple adopted her.

But the happiness disappeared as soon as the couple took her to their home after finishing the formalities.

They were nice and smiling in the orphanage while as soon as they reached home, they glared at her and Annika didn’t know what she did.

They made her do all sort of chores, from cleaning to gardening.

Little Annika’s hands were full of scratches and its worse enough to bleed.

Annika may not know the world enough in her age but she did know that no parents would treat their children like this.

It’s not normal..

At first she wanted to be with a family but if this is what family is, she doesn’t want one.

Annika could do chores without any struggle but what got her is the room they put her in after she finishes work..

It’s not even a room, more like a cabinet, she was woken up early to do chores daily and was put in here if they don’t need her.

It’s cramped and full of insects and the smell is horrible..

But above all…

The darkness…

As soon as it becomes night, the darkness gets to her and she feels so scared in here all alone in the whole world without anyone.

Annika was fed just once a day and she grew thinner day by day. Once she hesitantly picked her courage to ask them about this situation, they had locked up her for the whole day until she begged she won’t ask anything.

It was terrible….

She always felt there is someone in there in her little room, in darkness, her heart beats wildly in fear.

Annika should never feel happy…

Whenever she feels happy, the happiness disappear just like that.

Little Annika drew her knees to her chest and hugged herself, it’s almost a month and she felt she will die of starvation and if not that this darkness is going to kill her..

She felt like she will die here all alone in darkness, without anyone to console her.

Will she stay here like this until the day she dies?

After some days, she was finally rescued when the orphanage staffs had come to check up of her living surroundings.

Annika was taken to hospital to treat her wounds and malnutrition due to lack of food.

She was rescued but the fear stayed with her all these years and she has developed a fear of darkness even more before~~~~~

Annika gasped from her memories…

No…. No…..

She is not thinking about it…

It felt like she didn’t know how to breathe properly.. She struggled to take breath..

She cannot bear to think of that hell hole again. Granted she was adopted after a few years by Saahil’s parents but her fear stayed. It was difficult to trust adults after that but she did grew past all that. But times like these made her feel so vulnerable.

Just then she heard a sound…

She gripped the pan tighter and looked around, she hoped the candle stayed like that.. If not for that small light, she would’ve lost it.

That sound must be the opening of door because she saw light fill the room because of street lights outside.

She got up with trembling legs and pointed the pan to whoever entered the house..

“Annika”

The frying pan slid from her hand and fell on the floor with a thud..

Annika tripped a little on her way but she managed to run into his arms..

“Shivaay”

Her voice cracked and finally the tears she kept at bay trailed down her cheeks.

Shivaay….

Shivaay….

Shivaay….

Her heart beat slowly calmed down with the internal chanting of his name..

He hugged her back without hesitation..

His one hand caressed her back in comfort while his other hand was around her waist. His fingers gripped her waist in support..

It would have been painful in normal days but today the painful grip of his fingers grounded her to reality..

Made her feel that she’s here, not in the cramped room wondering about her death at that small age..

Annika’s finger on his back of the coat tightened, refusing to let him go when it looked like he might pull away from her.

“Shh… It’s okay Annika… I am here.. I am here… You’re with me”

Annika trembled in his hold..

Finally, she reluctantly let go of him but he didn’t remove his hand from her waist, when she moved away a little, he pulled her towards his body and she for once in her life, just once, tilted her head a little and slightly leaned on his shoulder…

Then he made her sit on the sofa nearby, wiped her tears off her cheeks and made her drink water, helped her with trembling hands.

“What happened Annika?”

“I don’t know, as soon as I got home someone locked the door from outside and I couldn’t open th-the windows too. The light was cut off too.. I f-felt like there was someone here”

Shivaay then got up and looked around the house with in the range of her sight, not wanting to worry her.

He was driving alone, feeling restless and fed up with Tia’s clinging, just then he had a call from Annika.

It was rare for her to call him and even more rare to call him at night, but as soon as he picked up all he could hear was her yelling Shivaay and the call got disconnected, he called her again and again only to find it switched off.

Then Shivaay drove as fast as he can to her home, not knowing where she is at the moment so he decided to go to her home first only to find it locked outside but when he pulled the handle, it opened.

Only Shivaay knows how scared he was, hearing her like that in phone.

“Come on let’s go..”

“What?”

“Come and stay at my home”

“No… No sir, I already disturbed you. I don’t want to bother you”

“Its not safe here Annika. Stop being stubborn for a while”

“I can’t sir. I am fine”

“You’re not fine Annika. Yes, you’re strong but that doesn’t mean you can’t rely on anyone. At least come and stay for today till I check the lock system here. Ok?”

“Its not necessary sir”

“No Annika, I had destroyed your house and I brought this one for you for the mistake I did. If something happened to you here, I feel responsible”

Annika reluctantly agreed knowing anyone can come in here and she felt scared even now.

She nodded and grabbed her duppatta near the table but slumped down on the floor because her legs gave out. She is not sure she can feel her legs.

But soon she was lifted by him..

Annika was startled and protested but his one glare shut her up..

His grip on her waist made her feel secure. She hesitantly wound her arms around his neck. His steps flattered and he looked down at her..

His azure eyes pierced her with a dark emotion behind them..

He put her on the back seat and ordered her to sit comfortably and relax..

Annika leaned on the seat…

Since when did he change into Angel Singh Oberoi from Devil Singh Oberoi..

Shivaay felt like there’s some sort of creepy stalker behind all this..

He drove his car a little slowly so not to disturb her much in her sleep..

Who would do this….?

These kind of things screamed stalker with just a look.. Shivaay drove the car to Oberoi Mansion.

With Rudy and Om angry on him for the engagement with Tia is also one of the reasons he wanted to go on for a drive.

As he parked his car after an hour and looked back to find her still sound asleep.

He felt disturbed witnessing her scared face.. He wanted to protect her, the urge to protect her was so strong that it startled him.

Shivaay got out of his seat and looked at her sleeping form, his teeth mark fading on her pale neck.

He bent down and nibbled lightly, inhaling her unique smell which never failed to excite him.

He licked her neck and bit a little so not to wake her up…

Unlike last time Annika slept through it since she was scared and tired mentally, unaware of him leaving a love bite again.

He lifted her from the back seat to which she put her head in the crook of his neck comfortably, arms around his neck…

It felt like bliss to Shivaay…

He didn’t care for once of what people will say or what rumors would be spread if they saw him lifting her.

He walked to his room with her in his arms, glad that everyone’s not in the hall, he’s not in the mood for drama..

“O… Did you just see that?” Rudra had dropped his mobile in shock while he was looking for his Shivaay bhaiyaa along with Om.

“Yeah”

“Did he just go into his room with Annika in his arms?”

“Yeah Rudy”

Om too watched the scene with his mouth gaping at what he had just witnessed.

“Did Shivaay bhaiyaa just close the door?”

“Yeah”

“Shivaay bhaiyaa who refused Tia clinging to his arms today just did all that O..? Did I see right?”

“Yeah Rudy”

“Am I dreaming O?”

“No…. How will I be in your dreams instead of some hot girls?”

“O….”
