THE STORY OF US – Chapter 17 by Sana

It was only a fifteen minute drive until the car came to a halt infront of small cottage surrounded by a beautiful garden of all colours of Roses . I stepped out of the car totally amazed because I was expecting a large luxurious mansion .

“Whose home is this ?” I asked Curiosity raising inside me and he smiled in a way that says I-am-not-going-to-tell . There was no chance the monster was going to tell me so I decided I better ask the owner of the house itself . I marched towards the entrance door and rang the
bell .

A little later footsteps were heard near the door and behind me Shivaye stood there and raised his eye brow and I laughed , he look cute when he do like that . The door was after a minute opened and there stood the owner .

She was so pretty , that is the first thought in my mind . There was a girl standing almost same age like me with her brown hair till her shoulders and when she saw Shivaye her eyes had a twinkle in them and she was dressed in a t-shirt larger than her which read in bold letters ” ARE YOU THE PIZZA MAN ? BECAUSE YOU SURE CAN DELIVER ” was she really expecting one , I heard Shivaye chuckle beside me .

” MALLIKA , you didn’t change a bit . You and your pizza” Shivaye said and the girl named Mallika came running and hit his arm playfully saying ” don’t dare to say anything about my pizza , okay ? And great to know you were Alive Mr. Shivaye Singh Oberio ” she hugged him tightly and I don’t know but I felt pulling the girl away from Shivaye . They were pretty close

” Are you going to leave my girl , Shivaye ” I turned around to find a man in his tee and tracks shooting death glares at him .

Thank God at least someone is jealous like me . Did I say I was jealous of them ? What the hell , why will you become jealous Anika ? ” Because you love him ” the inner voice in me said . This is really frustrating that I didn’t realize that now all their eyes were on me .

” Siddarth and Mallika , meet Anika ” Shivaye said smiling at me and the next moment I couldn’t breath because Mallika engulfed me in a tight hug .
” Leave her you are killing her wifey ” Siddarth said looking at Mallika , so there was no reason for me to become jealous because she is married .

” I have heard a lot about you Anika , it’s so awesome to finally meet you . You are beautiful ” her voice was full of life and it was like she knew me forever . Wait – wait , she said she Heard a lot about me . The only source she could here from is Shivaye , is it what I am thinking ?

“Thank you , nice to meet you too ” I said and she welcomed us inside . Okay , let me tell you when I saw from outside I thought it was heaven but seeing inside I can say that it is Hell ! There were cloths all over the floor , pizza boxes and cans !
The couple is hilarious and the words on her shirt explains everything .

” Can’t you at least clean it once Sid ! This really sucks ” Shivaye said and Siddarth replied causally ” I was waiting for you so we could clear the mess together created by Mali like old times ”

” Old times ? ” I asked being confused and I don’t find anything funny because they three of them are laughing .

” Actually Anika , this is my best friends Siddarth and Mallika . They both got married last year and now they are living here They both are a mess and now you can see yourself everything in live. someone has to give me a award for bearing these two ” Shivaye said throwing his hands in the air and Malika and Siddarth laughed .

The trio cleaned the room quickly and Mallika ordered pizza and while the best friend cherished their old memories and laughed together . It was rare to see Shivaye so Happy like this and no one have ever thought he used to those inseparable besties in his Life too . I felt so away from this all thinking about my friends .

I didn’t have anyone who I could share my happiness and sadness with , everyone ever wanted was money . The trio was awesome and adorable . Mallika is a carefree girl , straight forward girl and her moto is just to live and love the moment . Siddarth is a little serious person but around them he is another crazy person and Shivaye with them was so lively and happy . They were telling me there college life emabrassing and memorable moments .

” Hey Shivaye , Remember how Tia proposed you and how red your face was when she did that infront of the cafeteria that you threw up later in the Class , yuk ” Mallika said hifing Sid and Shivaye gave her a death glare .

” Btw , where is she now ? No news from her ” Sid said and Shivaye’s face became Serious . It was before days when I contacted Tia when she informed me that there was progress in her Relationship with Robin. I had texted her asking the rest of the story and she don’t reply till now .

” She left ” Shivaye said twitching his fingers and my head shot up – he knew ?
Shivaye took a deep breath and continued ” she called me yesterday night , she said she was in love with someone and did all this for her mother and she was guilty for her actions too. The thing which upset me is she is love with Ro..” I cut him off ” Robin , isn’t it ?” I asked and I knew he was going to tell Rohit’s brother and even though they were nice people I didn’t wish to tell them everything .

“How do you know Anika ? Tia told you ?” Shivaye fired me with questions and I just blinked . All thanks to Mallika , she really knows to change the topic , she cheerfully said ” hey , wanna have some chocolate mug cake as part of the celebration that Shivaye got rid of Tia ” she looked at both of us and Shivaye laughed ” you are talking as if you know how to bake it ”

Mallika gave him a death glare and said ” for your kind information I know how to bake it and it’s easy . I learnt it from YouTube . Anika and Shivaye you people should watch it , it’s a channel named Razzle bees of two cute girls and the recipes are very easy and tasty too . It’s really cool ”

” Really ? I would love to ! What is name of the channel ?” I asked because if Mallika could make it then i would be able to , right .

” Razzle Bees , here is the link – https://youtu.be/k8GCyewKeSc ” she said looking at her phone .

” Cool ” I said as I saved the link and after sometime Sid and Mallika came with fours mug cakes and we all ate it down , so yummy .

We talked about Random things until Shivaye cleared his throat and said to me ” No you can ask Anika ” he nudged my shoulder and I was confused ” What ? ” I asked and he turned to Mallika ” Actually Malli , Anika wants you to help her dressing up for a occasion . She is hesitating to ask you ” he said and i glared at him and before I could stradle him to death Malika threw her arms around me ” Sweetheart that’s something I love to do , we are friends right , I love you giving a makeover and you will look a like a princess for sure ” she promised and pulled me to her dressing room and after a minute Shivaye came and dropped the Shopping bag which contain my beautiful gown .

She made me sit on a stool which was facing the mirror and said ” Wait for Malika’s magic now” .

***

When she said Magic she wasn’t kidding and it was really Magic . I was standing before the mirror in my Amazing gown and her heels . When I look at myself I feel so beautiful , yes I can feel it . She has straightened my hair and gave a curl at the end and gave me a beautiful makeover .

” I am sure Shivaye is gonna drool over you ” she said laughing when we headed out to hall where Shivaye and Sid is and when I stepped inside and Shivaye eyes met mine and he looked me from head to toe and said ” Beautiful ” . I felt a shiver ran through all over my body and my cheeks burned and even though I can hear laughter of Mallika and Sid the only think I could see was him .

” Shall we ? ” he gave me his arm and I laughed taking it . Our bodies were so close and I was so excited about out next desitination . We bid by to Malli and Sid , the end of the day I was friends with them and it was real friendship and more I was happy holding his arm .
