**Sorry for being so late. Please forgive me and all special classes and studies are eating my time now. Perks of being a 10th grade! Sorry *puppy eyes**

I was standing here on the Beach above me with a sky full of twinkling and Shining Stars. I could feel the cold wind on my face making my amazing dress and hair to dance a little. The sound of the sea waves and everything was just perfect and my favourite not to mention it made me feel so happy next to the most handsome man who means a lot to me now, Shivaye.

I had never thought he was bringing me here because he got a fancy dress for me, asked Mallika to give a makeover for me and everything wasn’t even close to the place ‘beach’ and he knows me really well. Since the day he entered to my Life, he was always a part of me. He makes me happy and lively because of him I got to know many amazing people like Om, Rudra, Priyanku, Dadi, Mallika and Siddarth. Shivaye was always there for me, understood me, cared for me and loved me like a friend. He is the reason which I smile more often now and he is important to me.

I realized that my ‘Like’ for him turned to another feeling that I want him more than a friend, I want him to be with me forever, I want him to be permanent in my Life and I want him to be mine, my man.

I am in Love.

I am in Love with him.

I am in Love with Shivaye.

I am in Love with Shivaye Freaking Singh Oberio.

A part of me wants to tell him the three magical words but another part of me was scared of thinking what if I lose him, what if he only considered me as a friend, what if he goes away from me which is something that I can never think of ever.

I looked at him who is looking the sea even though his mind was somewhere and he was in a deep thought about something. I wish it was me and about us.

SHIVAYE’S POV

We walked in the sand on barefoot side by side. It was so perfect with Anika beside me only if she was there with me forever.

She was so beautiful in the dress that still I am stealing glances of her. I was so happy that she was wearing the dress I bought for her. I am sure even without the makeover Mallika gave her she would look breath taking. The word ‘ beautiful’ slipped out of me when I saw her making her way through stairs elegantly. Sid and Malli slowly laughed and stick their tongue out. I glanced at Anika to see that she was looking like Tomato with red cheeks.

She loved Stars that is how I decided the place Beach. Anika wasn’t a person who liked fancy restaurant and all that stuff. She was different and unique that I don’t want to share her with anyone.

I wanted her to be mine.

I wanted her to be my women.

I wanted her to be my First Love and everything in First.

Anika has become a part of me now. I can’t think about the world without her that I am used to her voice all the time.
I realized I love her and it’s wasn’t some stupid attraction. She had an effect on me and everything about her is amazing. Anika’s one smile was enough to make my day.

I have to tell her but what if she refuses and I add tension to her already stressed life instead as her friend I have to make it easier for her but I need to tell her that I love her because I don’t want her to be someone else call me selfish but I want her all by myself .

•••

Shivaye and Anika stood there looking at each other having a battle inside them whether they have to confess their feelings. The sky, stars, sea and sand were all watching their moment.

Shivaye slowly started walking towards her and she stood there her eyes boring into his greenish blue eyes which showed so much love for her and which confused her more.

There were so close that they both can feel each other’s breath. He looked at her chocolate orbs while she stared back at it. She felt a shiver ran through her spine which was like a pleasure. They both knew they were going to do it.

Shivaye looked at her hair, beautiful eyes and everything until his eyes stopped at her pink lips. Anika wanted to run her hands through his hair and then she found his eyes on her lips. He leaned closer to her and she closed her eyes but she felt his breath on her ears. They were so close.

“I love you Anika” he whispered and her heart beated fastly and loudly that she doubted he could hear it too.

This was real and not a dream. Was she hallicunitating that Shivaye was confessing the thing she wanted him to be. Is it a dream? But truly it was the reality, a magical and beautiful reality.

She was about to turn around and face him but before that his lips crashed on hers. She stood there shocked knowing that his, Shivaye’s Soft lips were on hers now and he was kissing her. She felt weak on her knees and started kissing him back . It felt magical for them and something that they don’t want to end. They pulled apart only when they were in need of oxygen.

Shivaye lifted the chin of Anika who was having a hard time looking at his eyes but she knew she have to do it too.

“I love you too Shivaye” she said with a million dollar smile on her face.

“Say it again” Shivaye demanded making Anika blush more.

This is was the moment for them. They weren’t the perfect human beings but they were perfect for each other. Sharing their happiness, pain and sorrow together no matter what happens. They will be always being there for each other and it was true Love.

She stood on her toes and whispered to his ears like he did” I love you Bhagad billa.” She laughed and kissed his Cheek and ran away before Shivaye could pull her towards him.

He ran after her and grabbed her waist and both fell down on the sand with Anika on top of Shivaye. They stared at each other and Shivaye leaned forward but Anika shoved him aside and stood sticking her tongue out to him.

“Anika, don’t be a baby” Shivaye whined like a little child and it increased her laughter something that will never make Shivaye staring at his girl.

“Aw..you look so cute.” Anika said pulling his cheeks.

“I am not cute. You can call me Handsome, charming, hot and dashing etc but not cute.” He said pouting and Anika had to cover her mouth from laughing. Sure the moment to see Shivaye pout was amazing and definitely cute.

” Okay, sing a song for me.” She said crossing her arms over her chest.

” Baby you know I am very bad at it.” Shivaye said honestly thinking about the moment how he closed his own ears when he heard his voice. Anika blushed hearing him call her ‘baby’. She felt so special.

“Fine do something for me” she said with puppy eyes and Shivaye thought for a long time tapping his chin and finally his face lit up.

“Wait here, love. I will be right back.” He said jogging towards the place where he parked his car and Anika’s smile became wider hearing him refer as her his love. The man really knew how to make her happy. There was nothing she ever wanted other than him.

Shivaye came back grinning and showed her what he got, A guitar. It was the memory that his grandfather left for him. He always sings when he is alone as if his grandfather is sitting there giving him the company. The only person who heard him to do it is himself alone, not even Omru. Anika is special and she needs to hear it or more than that he want to know her opinion.

“Wow Shivaye, you know to play it. That’s freaking amazing.” She said with excitement and they sat down on the sand.

He started playing it and It didn’t take even a second for Anika to realize the song. So she started to sing along with her melodious voice.

//_You know I’d fall apart without you
I don’t know how you do what you do
‘Cause everything that don’t make sense about me
Makes sense when I’m with you_//

It was ‘Wanted’ by Hunter Hayes. A beautiful story which feels like it was just written for them. Shivaye was just like that for him Anika was now important and without her the world seems to be a dark black hole. Like she is his sun which lights his world and helps him to shine brighter.

//_Like everything that’s green, girl, I need you
But it’s more than one and one makes two
Put aside the math and the logic of it
You gotta know you want it too_//

They both looked at each other and silently laughed thinking about their first meeting in the train. The destiny has played it’s major role in it and it wanted them to be together.

//_’Cause I wanna wrap you up
Wanna kiss your lips
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine_//

Anika snugged closer to him and wrapped her hands around his torso feeling the moment. It made Shivaye feel so warmer and both of them couldn’t ignore the butterfly fluttering in their Stomach.

//_Wanna hold your hand forever
Never let you forget it
Yeah, I wanna make you feel wanted_//

Shivaye put his head over hers and pressed his lips to her hair. The small gesture made Anika feel so happy and content.

//_Anyone can tell you you’re pretty
(Yeah)
You get that all the time, I know you do
But your beauty’s deeper than the makeup
And I wanna show you what I see tonight_//

Shivaye had seen many women around him all the time and there were always drooling over him. Of course no one will be able to resist him but this girl who captured his heart weren’t like them and Shivaye felt attracted to her beauty. Something he can’t point out to bad about her.

//_When I wrap you up
When I kiss your lips
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine

Wanna hold your hand forever
Never let you forget it
‘Cause baby, I wanna make you feel wanted_//

Anika had never thought she would be loved for her who she is other than her father. Most people sticked around was only because of the wealth the family owned or to take advantage about her but she knew the person who had even stole her sleep and came in her dreams loved her truly, for who is and will be.

//_As good as you make me feel
I wanna make you feel better
Better than your fairy tales
Better than your best dreams_//

Their eyes twinkled and shined like the stars in the sky. This was their story and fairy tale. This moment to be forever was their dream now.

//_You’re more than everything I need
You’re all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted_//

They completed each other. She was his happiness and he was hers. It was only each other they wanted.

//_And I just wanna wrap you up
Wanna kiss your lips
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine_//

Shivaye came closer to her and entangled his fingers with hers. Anika looked at their intertwining hands and smiled and they both sang the last lines together.

//_Wanna hold your hand forever
Never let you forget it
Yeah, I wanna make you feel wanted
Yeah baby, I wanna make you feel wanted
‘Cause you’ll always be wanted_//

Shivaye and Anika were once again kissing forgetting their life’s toughest, hardest and bitter memories behind them. They were living the moment.

“You sang so beautifully Anika.” Shivaye complimented her.

“Thank you and I never knew you can play the guitar. You are seriously Amazing.” Anika said and her surprise was clearly evident on her words.

“Come on, I am….SSO” both of them remembered their first meeting once again.

Both of them laughed hard clutching their Stomach and the smile not leaving their face. The moment was beyond Perfect with the night witnessing their Love. They lay in the sand with Anika’s head on his Chest and his hand wrapped around her. It felt like a dream for both of them. The most memorable moment and only if every day was just like with only two of them.
