CHAPTER 1
ShivIka Villa
Annika is crying looking at Shivaay’s picture.
Annika: I miss you, Shivaay. Faster wake up. I can’t stay without you. You promised me that you will be always with me. Why are you not here now?? I need your embrace, Shivaay. (Continue crying)
Shivaay: I’m beside you only, Annika. But, you are the one can’t see me. (Tries to touch her but he can’t)
Annika: (cries) Please, Shivaay. Come to me. I miss your kanji eyes, your tadi, your scold. I won’t fight with you anymore. Please come to me.
Shivaay: Don’t cry, Annika. I can’t see your tears. (Tries to wipe her tears) Damn it!!! I can’t wipe her tears.
Annika: (wipes her tears) No, I won’t cry. My Shivaay doesn’t like my tears. I know about my Shivaay. He will recover soon. He too can’t stay away from me. (Looks at his photo) Right, Shivaay?? (Kisses it)
Shivaay: Yes, Annika. I will come soon to you. Trust me.
Annika lies on the bed hugging his photo frame.
RiKara’s room
Om: I can’t believe Shivaay is in coma, Gauri. He is the great wall of Shivaay Singh Oberoi. How he….?? (Cries badly) I’m such a useless brother. I was not there when he left Oberoi Mansion and now I was not there to save him from the accident. He used to be with me and Rudra whenever we faced a problem. But, he faced everything himself. I’m ashamed of myself, Gauri. (Gauri feels bad looking at him and she just hugs him)
Gauri: Trust the God, Omkara ji. Sankar ji will make everything fine. You only said that bade bhaiya faced all the problems himself. Just think that he is on rest now. Already, Annika bhojai and Rudy bhaiya are broken. If you are broken too, how we want to console them. Both of them need you very much, Omkara ji. Please be strong. (Cries. Omkara hugs her tightly and cries his heart out)
Rudra’s Room
Rudra is keep on crying while Bhavya pacifying him.
Rudra: You know, Bhavya?? I always feel Shivaay bhaiya is a superman. He can fight everything and nothing can happened to him. My parents gave birth to me but I was raised by Shivaay bhaiya only. He likes to scold me but he won’t let anyone to scold me. He always there for me whenever I need anything. That is my Shivaay bhaiya. Now, I need him but he is not here with me.
Bhavya: (hugs him) He will be fine, Rudra. Don’t worry.
Shivaay heard OmRu’s conversation with RiVya and he cries badly.
Shivaay: My family is in grief because of me. How I want to tell them that I’m with them only?? They can’t see me or hear me. (Thinks a while) That girl only can see and hear me. I need to find her. (Disappears from there)
Soumya’s room
Soumya: I came here to unite Rudra with Bhavya. It’s done and I thought to leave after their marriage. But, now Shivaay bhaiya is in this state and this family is in deep sorrow. How I will leave them like this?? They took care of me when I stayed with them. I have to be with them now. I will postpone my trip first and I will go back after Shivaay bhaiya wakes from coma. I hope some miracle will happen to protect this family when Shivaay bhaiya is not here.
Next day
Somewhere in Goa
Someone’s house
A man is sitting at dining table reading a newspaper while having his tea. A guy came and join him there.
Guy: Shravani!! Is the breakfast ready?? (A girl is coming towards the table bringing some dishes)
Shravani: (placing them on the table and smiles at him) It’s ready, my dear husband. Have it. Bauji, you too have your breakfast first.
Guy: Yes, papa. You can continue your date with your newspaper after your breakfast. (The man stares at him)
Man: Shravani, why are you doing all these alone?? The queen is not up yet??
Guy: Papa, what question is this?? When she has woke up before 9?? Such a spoilt brat.
Shravani: (slaps his arm) Arjun, don’t say like that about her.
Arjun: You are spoiling her, Shravani. She never respecting me and papa.
Shravani: No, Arjun. She is having high respect on you both but she doesn’t knows to show it.
Man: You stop taking her side, Shravani. She doesn’t listen to us. We made her to study MBA but what she is doing now?? (Shakes his head) Going here and there searching for something which is not existing. Most of her alliance rejected her for her weird behaviour. What I have to do with this girl?? I found another guy for her. I don’t know what they are going to say.
Shravani: I can understand, bauji. I’ll talk to her about this. You have your breakfast first. (Serves him paratha. He is about to take his first bite but a sudden loud music shocks him and he dropped it on his plate. He stares upstairs where the music came. ArShrav too look upstairs. Shravani bits her finger in tension.)
Shravani: Bauji, it’s her alarm.
Man: I know it. She is the only girl who set alarm to wake up at 9. See what type of music she is listening.
Arjun: She is doing this purposely, papa. Just to irritate us. Shravani, ask her to off the music. We can’t eat peacefully listening to the sound.
Shravani: (thinks: This girl is really behaving like they are saying. I’m stucked between three of them.) Ji, I’ll go and tell her. (Leaves from there.)
Shravani opens the room door and sees her sister in law dancing like crazy following the rhythm of the music. She shakes her head and goes to the bed. She takes the mobile and off the music. The girl who involved in the her dance turns towards Shravani and grins.
Girl: Good morning, Shravs.
Shravani: (crossed her hands) Morning. You are doing like this purposely, right?? For irritating them??
Girl: Shravs, have you forgotten that this is my morning alarm??
Shravani: (smirks) How come you are like this, Ishu?? You always do what they both stop you from doing. What do you get by doing like this??
Girl: (excitingly) Enjoyment!! Kick!! I love to see their expressions whenever I did what they don’t like.
Shravani: But, you never behaved with me like that.
Ishu: Because you are my bhabhi, Shravs. Besides, you always on my side whenever they scold me. (Hugs Shravani’s shoulders from behind) So, I won’t do like that to my beloved bhabhi.
Shravani: (smiles and takes her hands) Enough of buttering me. Get ready fast and come for your breakfast. (Pushes her towards the washroom. She leaves from there and goes to the dining)
Man: What the queen is doing?? Still sleeping??
Shravani: No, bauji. She is getting ready. Will be coming in a while. You both eat first. (Arjun and his father started to eat their food. Ishana come there and sits in front of Arjun and kicks his leg. Arjun glares at her.)
Ishu: Shravs, what did you make for breakfast??
Man: How many times I asked you to call her bhabhi??
Ishu: Manu, I never called you as papa and never called Ajju as bhaiya. Then, why should I call her bhabhi??
Arjun: Papa, why are you saying these to her. Don’t you know that she won’t listen to us?? Such a bullheaded girl!!
Shravani: (serves Ishu) I can make paratha only, Ishu. Have this today. Tomorrow, I’ll make what you want.
Ishu: Shravs, I just ask what you made. I never tell that I’ll eat what I like. I will eat whatever you made. (Winks at Shravani while Shravani just smiles shaking her head)
Man: Shravani, why are you standing?? You also sit and have breakfast with us.
Shravani: Ji, bauji. (Sits beside Arjun. All are having their breakfast silently.)
The man’s mobile rings.
Man: (answers the call) Hello. Manish Raichand here. (Leaves from the dining table to answer the call. He came after a while and stares at Ishana)
Arjun: What happened, papa?? Who called you just now??
Manish: We found an alliance for Ishu, right?? They rejected her. (ArShrav are shocked but Ishana just eats her food without reacting)
Shravani: But, why bauji?
Manish: Because of her only. Which family will accept a girl who goes to graveyard like her friend’s house?? (Ishana just continue eating without bothering her father’s talk) Just look at her. Here we are worrying about her but she is eating like nothing happened. Ishu, this is the 12th alliance that rejected you. Don’t you feel anything??
Ishu: (stops eating) What should I feel and why?? Did I ask you to find a groom for me?? I already told that I won’t get married till I succeed in my aim.
Arjun: Aim?? What aim, Ishu?? Till you find a ghost or spirit?? Are you mad?? Those things are not existing in this world.
Ishu: How are you sure that those things are not existing?? Have you ever meet them??
Arjun: Have you met them??
Ishu: Not yet but I will. Soon.
Manish: You are getting mad with this research of yours. That’s why you started to talk alone with yourself.
Shravani: What?? She is talking alone?? (Looking at Ishana) What is this, Ishu??
Ishu: No, Shravs. I didn’t talk alone. Am I mad to do like that?
Manish: Don’t lie, Ishu. Yesterday, someone saw you talking alone at the hospital. That person informed the groom’s family. That’s why they rejected you.
Ishu: They wanted a reason to reject me. That’s why they said like that. Stop blaming me for everything.
Shravani: I think Ishu is right. They wanted a reason to reject her. Maybe they find another girl for their son. (Manish thinks a while)
Manish: Fine. Leave it. Ishu, you better stop this useless research of yours. All started to question us either you are mentally disturbed. That’s why roaming around the grave and coming back late.
Arjun: If you still want to meet a ghost or spirit, I will suggest you an idea. You get married and give birth to a little devil. Simple!! (Ishana stares at him) Or if you can’t wait till that, I gave you another idea. You go and stand in front of the mirror. You can see a horrible ghost in it. (Ishana slaps his arm)
Manish: Listen, Ishu. If you don’t stop this research, I will kill you. And, you yourself will be roaming as a ghost.
Arjun: Right, papa. (Ishana stares both of them) Papa, she is very much interested in ghost and spirits because she haven’t meet them yet. If she see them, she will be the first to run away. (ArMan laugh and leave from there)
Shravani: (hugs Ishana’s arms) Relax, Ishu. I think you stop your research for some days. For my sake, please.
Ishu: (nods) Ok. Only for you. (Both of them hug) But, one day I will succeed in my aim. That day I will prove that ghost and spirits are existing in this world.
Shravani: (chuckles) Ok, meri Ishu. We will wait for that day.
