Shivaay POV:
It’s 9.00 pm…. And we all are having dinner… No, actually I am the only one who is eating! My mom, badi mom, and dadi are busy feeding me with their hands, while dad and bade papa are just looking at me lovingly. I guess they all missed me very much in these two years…. Well, even I did as well! But where is Rudra? Om? Soumya? Gauri? And most important, RIYA? How come she is still sleeping?! I don’t why but I still feel something is wrong…. No, Shivaay… Now that everything is fine, don’t think negative!
After a few minutes, I saw Om, Rudra, Soumya, and Gauri coming downstairs…. Finally! But then, I noticed that they weren’t alone… there was a girl behind them with a dupatta on her head, thus covering her face. Who is she? Is she Riya? But why would she cover her face?
I walked over to them. They were looking nervous…
“Who is she?” I asked pointing to the girl with the dupatta.
“Arre bhayia! You don’t know her?” Rudra laughed. “She is your wife, RIYA!”
“OH” the word came out from my mouth as a whisper…. I seriously didn’t know how to react… I wanted to say so many things to her! I wanted to apologize to her…. But this dupatta… Why is she wearing that?
I was about to remove the dupatta off her head, but Gauri held my hand.
“Hawww Bhayiiaa!!! Yeh aap kya rahe rahe hai???” She gasped.
“What? I was just removing the dupatta… I want to see her…” I told her.
I don’t get why they are overreacting…
“No, bade bhayia, don’t commit this sin!” Soumya shouted.
Sin? I don’t have the right to see my wife?
“She means that Bhabhi is performing a puja, where no one can see her face for 30 days!” Rudra explained.
“Swat the whuck?!” I exclaimed. “What kind puja is this? I never heard of it!”
Om started to laugh.
“How will you know it?” Om questioned. “You are always busy on your laptop! You are never interested in the rituals or puja. Then how will you hear of it?”
Hmmm…. Good point…. But still…. What kind of puja is this, where you are not allowed to show your face?
“Anyways, I am very hungry…” Rudra whined. “Let’s eat dinner!”
“Wait!” I stopped them from going to the dining table.
They became confused.
I started walked to towards Riya. As I did so, I saw everyone getting nervous and worried as if I was going to stab her or something…. I held Riya’s hand and looked at her face, although I couldn’t see anything except her beautiful cocoa brown eyes.
“I… I…. I… am…. I am sorry!” I stammered, but finally apologized.
“I am really sorry for hurting you….” I continued apologizing, “I am very sorry for giving you pain… I am very sorry! Please forgive me… Please…”
I was expecting her to say something, but she just remained silent. Is she ok? Maybe she is angry with me.
“Riya, please say something,” I pleaded, “I can’t bear this silence.”
Still, she remained silent.
“Oh, I just remembered!” Rudra interuppted. “According to the puja, she can’t speak for 30 days!”
What?! She can’t speak as well?! This is the only reason why I don’t like puja or any kind of rituals….
“But how am I supposed to know whether she forgave me or not?” I whined like a little kid.
I won’t feel relieved until I know that Riya forgave me…
“Shivaay, don’t worry. I will ask her,” Om said and then turned to Riya, “Bhabhi, aapne Shivaay ko maaf kar diya hai, right?”
Riya nodded. I sighed in relief.
“See! Problem solved!” Rudra happily shouted, “Can we eat dinner now?”
Anika POV….
I can’t belive I am doing all this…. Like seriously? I can’t even speak now!!!!! But it’s good…. If I had spoken even a word, then Shivaay would have recognized me…. But still…. Now I have to stay quiet!
We all sat around the dining table. I was stting next to Shivaay and Soumya. Om was sitting in front me. Pinky aunty served us food, which was Spaghetti… Oooo Spaghetti! My favourite! I quickly grabbed a fork and was about to eat, when Om kicked me with his leg. Ouch! Why did he do that? I looked at Om, who was pointing at my fork with his eyes. I looked at my fork and then realized that Riya doesn’t use fork or spoon! Wait! So does that mean I have to eat spaghetti with my hand? Ewww!!! I looked at my hand and then at the delicious noodles that were in front of me. I reached out for noodles but then backed out. Ugghhh!!! I can’t eat like that!!!
“Riya… you can eat with your hands…” I heard Shivaay say, “I don’t mind anymore…”
Mind? Why would he mind? I am the one who has to eat with hands, not him!
“I think Bhabhi doesn’t feel like eating right now…” Then I heard Rudra say, “She will eat later.”
I sighed. Oh! Thank you so much, Rudra!!!! You saved me!
I just grabbed a glass of water and started to drink it….
“Btw,” Shivaay then asked, “Where is Anika? I didn’t see her from a long time…”
I started to cough. Did he had to remember me just now?!
“Riya, are you ok?” Shivaay asked me. His voice had concern for me. Oops! Not for me, but for Riya…
I nodded.
“Yeah… so where is Anika?” Shivaay repeated his question.
“Bade bhayia, Anika didi left,” Soumya came up with an excuse, “She went to live with her friend…”
Friend? I don’t have any friends in India…
“Oh. I didn’t even get to say bye to her…” Shivaay said sadly.
Aww… So he does miss me…. Great!
“Don’t worry bhayia!” Rudra tried to cheer up Shivaay, “She will keep coming to visit us….”
Heyyy…. I am already here…!
After few hours…
Everybody left to their rooms…. Great! Now time for me to start my mission: Keep Riya bad, Anika good…. I went to Shivaay’s room, only to find it empty. Hmmm… maybe he is in the bathroom. I looked around the room. It was very neat, clean and organized. Everything was at its place. Then, I remembered what Om told me: Shivaay has OCD…. Hmmm… OCD… I smirked…
A few minutes later…
The whole room was a mess! The bedsheets were messed up. The clothes were scattered on the floor. Everything was misplaced! Shivaay will definitely get angry on Riya after seeing this.
Suddenly, I heard the bathroom door open and Shivaay came out. He looked at the room and then at me. I could tell he was angry, just as I expected. But what he did next was unexpected. He came over to me and slapped me! HARD! A drop of tear fell from my eye…
“HOW DARE YOU?!” He shouted loudly.
The door was closed, therefore no one could hear him except me.
He twisted me hand. His nails were digging into my skin. I winced in pain.
“JUST GET OUT!” He ordered. Then, he dragged me out of the room and closed the door on my face.
I was numbed. I felt miserable…. I wanted him to get angry, but I never wanted him to act this harsh. Tears started to make its way through my eyes. No, Anika! Don’t cry! Be happy…. After all, now Shivaay hates Riya! I wiped off the tears and stood up. Then, I took a deep breath. Time for Anika to enter…
Shivaay POV:
I felt really bad for being so cruel to her. But it was her mistake! She knew that I have OCD! Then, why did she do this? WHY?
I heard someone knock at the door. Who can it be? Is it Riya? I opened the door only to find Anika. A smile appeared on my face.
“Where did you go leaving me?” I asked her.
“Shivaay… I just went to my friend’s house…” She told me.
“Hmmm… but you could have told me…” I argued.
“Ok…ok… from now on, I will always tell you… happy?” she said, “Btw, will you invite me in or not?”
Oh right! I forgot!
“Come in…” I invited her in.
She came in and looked around the room, only to see everything messed up.
“Woah! What happened to your room?” She asked, “It seems as if a hurricane came over here!”
I chuckled.
“Yeah… don’t even ask…!” I said, not wanting to talk about Riya.
“Ok, I won’t ask. But, I think you should start cleaning up this place. And if you want, I can help you…” She offered her assistance, as she started picking up clothes from the ground.
I smiled. She is so nice….
I also started cleaning the room.
After an hour, we collapsed on the couch being exhausted of cleaning up. Just then, I noticed the Band-Aid on Anika’s hand.
“Anika… What happened to you on your hand?” I asked as I was concerned, “How did you get hurt?”
Anika POV….
He asked me how I got hurt on my hand…. I laughed to myself. Only if he knew, he was the one who hurt me!
“I was picking up some pieces of glasses when I got hurt…” I lied.
“You should have been careful while doing that!” Shivaay said.
“It’s ok….” I told him. “Btw, when I was coming up here… I saw Riya, and she looked depressed…”
Shivaay got silent.
“Shivaay… don’t tell me you hurted her again!” I said as if I didn’t know anything.
“But it was her mistake!” He tried to reason, “She knew I have OCD, even then she messed my room!”
“And how do you know that she did it on purpose?” I asked him.
Shivaay looked me confused.
“Maybe she was trying to find something,” I explained, “Like, something very important…”
I was trying to act as if I was such an understanding and a good-hearted person.
“Yeah…. Maybe you right…..” Shivaay realized.
Then he hugged me tightly.
“I don’t know how to thank you! You made me realize my mistake again! Thank you so much!” Shivaay thanked me, breaking the hug.
I smiled.
“You are seriously amazing!” Shivaay continued praising me. “I need to go to Riya now. I need to say sorry to her!”
He got up to leave the room. But before leaving, he turned and started thanking me once again, “Again thank you so much! You are like an angel! I JUST LOVE YOU!”
Shivaay then left the room, leaving me shocked with his last sentence. Did he say just he loves me?! OMG, he loves me!!!! My heart started to jump in happiness!!!!
After a second, Shivaay came back and changed his sentence, “I meant…. I love you as a FRIEND…” He then left, leaving me heart-broken this time….. I felt like crying…. But I composed myself. It’s ok, Shivaay. I WILL MAKE YOU LOVE ME SOON…..
