Hi This is VHM back with a new FF on IB couple SHIVIKA….A slow yet Subtle love story……..
This is completely off track FF on Shivika and a college life and post college life of Shivika based FF…nothing to do with the track of IB….May be few of you can relate to this….you all know the characters and few characters will behave the same way as in real IB…few will be different……The Beginning would be slow and may bore you, but as i always say these beginning episodes will be crucial to form the further story……..
Please ignore the grammatical and spelling mistakes…….Hope the readers would support me the same way as they have supported me till date……based upon the response on this episode, i will be uploading the next episode……
Before Anika could speak anything…Shivaay spoke to Anika
Shivaay ”Hello…this is Shivaay Singh Oberoi….Sunil said me everything…but please listen to me once…he is a gem of person…if he has hidden something from you, i am sure there must be some reason behind it…please don’t punish him like this…please talk to him ….because i know how it feels when someone who is so close walks away without looking back…it hurts so much that, we will not be in a position to either live or die….i know i am none to say you all this, but Sunil has been with me almost for two months now and i am much attached to him….please treat it as my request and talk to him…please”
Shivaay requested Anika to forgive Sahil (Sunil) without his knowledge that Anika was on other side…….
Anika controlled her tears and with choked voice spoke ”Please give the mobile to him”
The voice registered in Shivaay’s ears. and he immediately recognised it to be his Ms.Surpanaka’s voice..he mechanically gave the mobile to Sahil and left from there………
Sahil ”Dii…i am sorry….i am really sorry…i didn’t want to do all this…but i wanted to return your happine…….”
Before Sahil could continue Anika spoke
Anika ”Sahil….do you trust me?”
Sahil ”yes didi”
Anika ”will you do what i say?”
Sahil ”yes didi”
Anika ”come here taking next flight…i don’t want you to stay there anymore ….already the damage is done….he has recognised my voice …and now he will not take a minute to reach me…”
Sahil realised what he did and what happened
Sahil ”didi..i am sorry”
Anika ”I will be thinking of what needs to be done….you don’t come to our house in Belgium…go directly to your hostel…”
Sahil ”but what will you do?”
Anika ”don’t know…just message me on my number once you reach”
Sahil ”listen to me once didi”
Anika ”Sahil…I don’t want to listen anything else….just do what I say…and just message me once you reach, bye”
Sahil ”didi listen to me”
Sahil held his head and broke down….he looked here and there and didn’t find Shivaay around….he went to his cabin and found him in deep thoughts….
Sahil ”Shivaay Jiju”
Shivaay looked at him coming out of thoughts…..
Sahil ”I ..i am”
Shivaay ”you go Sahil…she might have ordered you to come back….you shouldn’t disobey her words, she has done much for you, now she needs you…”
Sahil ”but jiju…you..will you not”
Shivaay ”don’t worry about me….tell her that I will not trouble her and she doesn’t need to run anywhere else, thinking I might reach her….assure her that nothing of this sort will happen….i heard her voice , I am happy with that…”
Sahil ”how do you know what will she do?”
Shivaay ”because I know her very well” he took a pause walked towards him ”I know her more than myself….what she would say in which circumstances I can tell that without any second thoughts”
Sahil ran to him and hugged him tight
Sahil ”I am sorry jiju…I am really sorry….i never wanted all this to get to be known this way…I am sorry…I am really sorry”
Shivaay was into tears ….he hugged him tight and cried ……after letting their tears out, both composed themselves and
Shivaay ”go now and pack your luggage…I will send the tickets for today’s flight to you….leave”
Sahil ”I will leave …but before that I have found something for you….i will send you after I reach ”
He turned to go…came back and hugged him tight and spoke
Sahil ”I miss you jiju…and not only me Anika didi also misses you a lot…there was never a day when she hasn’t shed her tears for you…I just wish you both to be together”
Shivaay ”I miss you sahil and I miss her too” he spoke rubbing sahil’s back…”now go or you will get late”
Sahil left from there and reached his quarter, packed his bags and reached Airport….he was surprised to see the entire Oberoi Family waiting for him at the airport
OmRu came forward and hugged him….Sahil broke into tears …the condition of OmRu was same as Sahil….he left them and went to Pinky and Jhanvi…he bent to take blessings from all the elders…
Pinky ”OMM …you are Anika’s brother and you hid this from us…why’s?”
Sahil ”woh…Anika didi asked not to reveal my real identity to anyone”
Jhanvi ”but why? What wrong did we all do that she punished all of us?”
Sahil folded his hands and said ”You all know what happened , but what you never knew was…Anika didi could never digest the fact that Shivaay jiju got engaged to some other lady…so she started running away from all of you…but she never broke her promise given to Shivaay jiju, that she will be his shadow”
Everyone looked at him surprised
Tej ”what do you mean?”
Sahil ”uncle you will know it very soon, I will be sending something to shivaay jiju after I reach there and everything will be known to you….but please don’t misunderstand Anika didi….she is not bad…”
Dadi ”Sahil puttar…we know how she is …and there is no way we can misunderstand her…but we are hurt because she left and never turned back”
Sahil ”I came to make shivaay jiju meet with Anika didi….but I think I have lost in this …however I am happy that you now know atleast about my whereabouts…and I promise to stay in touch with you all….”
The announcement was made for the passengers to check in the luggage and proceed for security and boarding….
Prinku came to him and said ”Sahil…I always wanted to give this to Anika di…if you meet give this to her on our behalf…say that this has been preserved for her from past 10 + years”
Sahil ”sure Prinku di…I will…”
Sahil looked around and searched for Shivaay, but he was seen no where….
Rudra ”he can’t see you going, so he has not come…don’t search for him…”
Sahil ”take care of my Jiju ..Rudra bhayya….till I set things there…later Anika didi will handle him”
Om and Ru looked at each other first and then looked at Sahil…
Om ”what do you mean by Anika will handle him later?”
Sahil ”I will talk to Anika didi…and please don’t even try to stop me now from doing so…I have decided what needs to be done…and I am going to do it…I will not care even if she scolds me or slaps me…but she needs to know the truth and Shivaay jiju too should know the truth…”
Rudra ”Shivaay bhayya should know the truth? Which truth?”
Sahil ”I am gonna send you something after i reach Amsterdam….and you all will know what I am talking about”
Om ”we trust you Sahil….and we will be waiting for both of you to be back”
Sahil hugged them and left to complete formalities and boarded the flight……
———————Belgium
Anika was left blank and couldn’t decide what she should do….she was in such a state of mind where she was not able to think properly…she threw away everything in anger , broke almost all the glass items…and screamed to the top of her voice…….
Anika TAM ”why am I doing all this…how many more days will I run hiding myself from him…what was my mistake that I am running away..instead I should have faced this situation…”
She took a pause …a series of question answer sessions ran in her brain
Anika TAM ”
I should have seen him moving with other girl …
no, no, I can’t see him moving on with other girl….i just can’t see it…
but Anika , what was your relation with him? was it love? Was it lust? Was it friendship? What was it? What name did you give it?
It was unnamed relation
Does unnamed relation have a value?
No
Then why did you expect him to be with you?
I thought he feels the same as I feel and he will never be with anyone else
How can you expect when you couldn’t express?
I …I…I don’t have answer for this
That means you accept you were at fault
No…I am not at fault…it can’t be
This is not you, but your ego speaking….you have taken away Sahil from his native place….you have separated his Bua from him, however she might be , but she is his blood relation…you became adamant, unemotional , rude, arrogant and selfish…. you forgot what and how much his family did for you…you broke their trust …and why all these , for nothing……you closed yourself to such an extent and started running away……
Did I run away, no, I had sticked to my words that I will be his shadow, I sticked to my words….
Really then why did you not reveal yourself then…you sticked to your words, then you should have let him known…why did you hide
Just stop it…stop it…I need not answer anyone…I need not”
The thoughts took a break when,
Anika closed her ears to stop the inner war happening within herself…….She slipped into sleep without her knowledge ,fighting with her own thoughts …..
The next morning …Sahil reached her home and buzzed the bell…Anika went and opened the door…she was surprised seeing Sahil
Sahil ”Can I come in to your house ?”
Anika ”have you gone mad? Why are you asking? Just get in? and by the way why are you saying this as my house..it’s your house too”
She moved aside giving way for Sahil to step in
Sahil didn’t answer her and went inside……Anika looked at him confused
Sahil got freshened up and didn’t speak a word, while Anika waited for him to speak something…..Sahil was silent, Anika gave up on her patience
Anika ”Sahil why are you silent? Why are you not saying anything?”
Sahil ”what should I say? I have nothing to say?”
Anika ”you are acting different? And ..and”
Sahil ”and you are thinking why am I here in your house, when you asked me to go to my hostel?”
Anika ”no..i mean…woh”
Sahil ”don’t worry Anika didi…I am leaving you…and I am leaving you forever this time…I was trying to gather courage to say this…so I was silent all this while..”
Anika was shocked more than surprised
Anika ”have you lost it? What rubbish are you speaking? What do you mean by you will leave me forever? And why the hell are you going on saying this is my house …don’t you understand or don’t you know that this is your house too” she screamed on top of her voice
Sahil ”no…this is not my house …did you get it now…this is not my house..i am just a responsibility of you and your responsibility ended today…that’s why I am saying I am leaving you forever…”he screamed equally high
Anika ”Sahil…what happened? Why are you saying so? What wrong did I do ? ”
Sahil ”you did everything wrong…you were wrong ..always wrong….” He broke down after screaming once again
Anika ”I can’t believe you are saying this….i am wrong…you said I am wrong..what do you mean Sahil…”
Sahil didn’t reply
Anika ”I asked you something …just answer me…are you listening …just answer me” she was at the top of her voice
Sahil ”what do you want to listen…tell me…what do you want to listen…did you listen that day what Shivaay jiju wanted to explain…did you listen to your heart…did you listen to me to let me know why you were running away from everything…did you listen to your friends….tell me did you listen anytime ?”
Anika ”ohh , now I understand why you are speaking so….you met him and he ”
Sahil ”don’t blame him….you don’t know anything…so I beg you…don’t blame him”
Anika ”he has become so important for you, that today you are speaking to me in this tone because of him?”
Sahil ”I knew you would say this…that’s why I said , you don’t listen to anyone….but I beg you, for once listen to me…”
Anika ”if it’s about him I don’t want to listen anything…because it ended that day when he left…”
Sahil ” Shivaay jiju is still at the same place where you left him…if only you can understood what I mean”
Anika was shocked with Sahil’s statement…she stood still as a stone, there was no tears, no words and nothing seen in her face…as if her world stopped at that point….
Sahil came and handed over the thing that Prinku gave her….Anika just took it and looked at Sahil
Sahil ”you never understood, how important you were to that family….they still remember you, miss you and above all love you…forget about Shivaay jiju, what wrong did the rest of the members do…for no one’s mistake you punished everyone…now tell me were you right? Didi it’s fine if you don’t trust anyone else…you could have trusted yourself….you could have trusted that relation that existed between you and Shivaay jiju…there was no reason but you both suffered a separation for 10+ long years…you never gave a chance to yourself, forget about giving chance to Shivaay jiju….i know the entire truth, but i don’t want to tell you now….the truth which you never wanted to face, you should know from Shivaay jiju….he is suffering didi…go to him…he has put up a strong face like you before his family members , but he is broken into pieces from inside…and everyone knows it’s only you who can heal him…if not for your relation, at least do this for the love and affection you got from Oberoi family…you owe them dii…you owe them this….i said what i had to say…now i am leaving the decision to you”
Anika didn’t speak a word , she just stood in the same position, not knowing what to do once again…she has reached at such point where she cannot go forward or step backward…Sahil didn’t speak a word and left from there walking in the snow, in a hope that Anika would make a wise decision……….
——————OM
Shivaay was tensed thinking about what might be happening between Anika and Sahil…he was sure Anika would handle but there was a thought that Anika might run away from Sahil too….unable to do anything he dialled Sahil’s number
———–Belgium
Sahil received Shivaay’s call
Sahil ”jiju” his voice choked
Shivaay ”Sahil…is she fine?”
Sahil ”i don’t know”
Shivaay ”what do you mean by you don’t know…what happened?”
Sahil explained what he did, Shivaay was unable to say anything
Sahil ”jiju..this was necessary and so i did”
Shivaay ”what was the need Sahil…we had our lives at different edges , but our lives were running…i just hope she is fine…”
Sahil ”but”
Shivaay ”go and check her Sahil…if something happens to her, then i might not live my life again”
Sahil ”please don’t say so”
Shivaay ”i can understand you intention, but ”
They both remained silent……
Sahil ”i am going to see her jiju…don’t worry”
Shivaay ”just update me”
Sahil ”yes”
Sahil ran towards his Anika’s house ….
—————–Anika’s house , Belgium
Anika was looking at the thing Prinku gave……
It was a photo of Shivaay and Anika during the wedding of Kriti….
She remembered the flashback
——–Flashback starts
Wedding of kriti, they both came down and who ever saw them liked their pair……
Pinky ”Shivaay, Anika both of you come here”
They both went to her…Pinky called the photographer and said
Pinky ”aree …why are you staring at me, take a good photo’s of these…it must be the most beautiful photo’s understand’s”
Shivaay ”mom…why now…I mean…what’s the need”
Pinky ”you keep quiet…I want this to happen…will you say NO to me?”
Shivaay ”but”
Pinky ”no but…I don’t wants to listen’s anything…Anika do you have any problem in getting clicked with my heera beta”
Anika smiled
Pinky ”see…when she has no problem…what’s the problem’s for you?”
Shivaay ”okay fine..if you both don’t have any problem I will be getting the photo clicked”
Shivaay held Anika’s hand and they were giving many poses …but the pic that was the most beautiful was when they both held the hands entwining the fingers , facing each other and were absorbed in each other’s eyes, forgetting the surroundings…the pic was clicked in Retro (black and white) mode ”
Anika later looked at that pic and said ”I can stare at this pic for my entire life Mr.Ritchie Rich”
Shivaay ”then I would give this photo as a gift on our special day”
Anika ”special day that too of us…and when is that”
Shivaay ”you will know very soon Ms.Surpanaka”
Anika ”okay…then you mean I must wait”
Shivaay ”exactly…you are no doubt intelligent”
Anika ”naah..not intelli”GENT” it’s Intelli”WOMEN” ”
Shivaay ”ohh God…you are impossible”
Anika ”that tho I am”
They both smiled
—————FLASHBACK ENDS
Anika held the photo frame with that pic and stared at it continuously remembering the moments …Sahil came and saw her looking at the photo…
Sahil ”Anika didi…are you okay”
Anika came out of the trance and looked at him
Sahil ”I am sorry didi…I have hurt you so much with my words…but i didn’t know what else to do”
Anika ”Sahil…I never left him…I never left”
Sahil ”I know your truth didi…I found it in past one week”
Anika looked at him shocked
Sahil ”when Shivaay jiju said the truth of the happening 10+years before, I was into thoughts…I knew one thing, you keep promise even if the condition is broken by the other…this made me check everything and connect the dots…I found out the truth, what you did for them…”
Anika ”did you reveal them the truth”
Sahil ”not yet, but I promised to tell them once I am here and they might be waiting”
Anika ”please don’t reveal…please”
Sahil ”but why?”
Anika ”I owe them all that and I never want them to know this”
Sahil ”fine I will not tell Shivaay jiju about this…but I will have to reveal it to Om bhayya and Rudra bhayya…but don’t worry , I will ask them not to let Shivaay jiju know this…they will not deny me”
Anika ” I know them more than you”
Sahil ”then what have you decided Didi”
Anika looked at him , wiped her tears but with choked voice said
Anika ”I want to talk to him…for once, i want to give a chance to myself and listen to him…I want to hear him…I just want to hear him once …”
Sahil ”what are you waiting for didi..do it right away”
Anika ”but…will he speak to me”
Sahil ”I always got angry when Shivaay jiju called you mad, but now I think he is right…you are really mad”
Sahil hugged Anika and said ”he too wants to hear you didi…just call him…and yaa…I am gonna call Om bhayya and Rudra bhayya and let them know your truth…meanwhile you talk to Shivaay jiju…I am going out…”
Anika smiled hugged him and said ”you have really grown big Sahil…i thought you were still small”
Sahil smiled and said ”I love you didi..and I am sorry for my behaviour earlier today and now bye”
Sahil left and Anika picked up the mobile and dialled Shivaay’s number
