THE FLASHBACK STORY – ISHQBAAZ FF – EPISODE 47

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……

Anika took steps forward towards them, leaving Shivaay’s hand….they were in such a state of mind , that they were unable to get angry neither forgive her soon…

Anika folded hands without hesitation and bent her head, crying really bad, followed by hiccups.

Rudra ” didi please….you know we can’t see you in this state..so please stop crying and just don’t do this”

Anika couldn’t control, looked at him, ran to him and hugged him…Rudra reciprocated her hug….

Anika ” i am sorry…really sorry….i just left without saying anything…i have hurt you very bad…how many ever times, i say sorry , it will not suffice…i will bear any punishment you give…but please don’t be angry on me” she cried

Rudra ” you know how much we love you…if not with bhayya you could have confided your problems with us”

Anika nodded her head and broke the hug…Rudra wiped her tears and stood there, Om stepped forward and placed hands on Rudra’s shoulders…

Om ”Forget it Rudra, she never felt us to be her family, it was only one sided relation…had she felt then she wouldn’t have taken our 10 +  years of togetherness away from us….” he spoke rude but being hurt

Anika looked at Om, her eyes red and with marks of tears on her face, the tears that stopped for a while with Rudra’s words continued to flow with Om’s words…om looked at her and closed his fists being angry on himself for getting angry over her, whom he adored the most after Shivaay and Rudra…

Anika bent her head down…that’s when Shivaay stepped in…

Shivaay ”om…please…she is already broken..don’t do this…you know what all happened and why this happened…if she is at fault , i am at fault too”

Om ”agreed…for your mistake how can she punish us…will she be able to give back that time which she took away from us…and this is between me and her, so you better don’t get in to this”

Shivaay was about to say something when Anika stopped nodding horizontally asking him not to say anything else…Anika went to Om and held his hand…..Om looked at her

Anika ”It’s true i have hurt everyone the most by leaving…but it’s even true that i never forgot you…the fun we did during studies , i always used to remember…i know i cannot give you back that time which i snatched away from you, but it’s also true i can spend double the time with you both that was missed by you  from now on…but this can happen only if you forgive me and accept me as ”

Shivaay ”YOUR BHABHI” he completed the words that Anika was about to say…OmRu looked at them…

Om ”are you both Serious?”

Anika and Shivaay nodded in YES..Rudra came to her and lifted her up saying ”This is the best news after me topping my studies when you were there..”

Shivaay ”Rudra Easy…easy..she might fall”

Om ”stay out of it Shivaay..she is our bhabhi now and more than you we have right on her…so please move aside”  Om went ahead and held Rudra’s hand taking care of Anika so that she doesn’t fall….Shivaay just looked on and spoke

Shivaay ”Waah…Bhabhi came Bhayya gone…not fair you both”

Rudra ”everything is fair when it’s about Bhabhi and Devars”

Om and Rudra hugged Anika…Anika too hugged them and with choked voice said ”Sorry and Thank you”

Shivaay coughed to gain attention and said ”i am also here”

Rudra ”who cares”

Shivaay ”what?”

Om ”we said who cares”

Shivaay ”wait you both..now see what i am gonna do”

Anika stepped before OmRu and said ”Don’t even dare Mr.Ritchie Rich…you have to face me before them”

Shivaay stopped …

Rudra ”thank God bhabhi…you saved …else we would have got tortured as we were in those long last years”

Anika ”don’t worry your bhabhi is back”

Shivaay ”now if you all are done…shall we get in , i still have to show Ms.Surpanaka the hotel and the changes..Anika come ” he said forwarding his hand..

Anika ”naah…i am coming with my devars and will follow you…so i am not going to hold your hand now…sorry” she giggled looking at OmRu who were on either sides of Anika  and they giggled along with her…..

Shivaay ”you guys wait…let Sahil come then even i will have my support…enjoy till he is not there…when he is back my strength will be doubled” he nodded his head in fake jealousy and moved ahead

All four moved ahead and entered the hotel…Shivaay started showing up the renovations he made as per Anika’s state….When Anika was looking everything Shivaay signed OmRu to come to him…OmRu slided quietly and Neared Shivaay…He whispered something and they nodded….when Anika turned back they behaved as if they are also looking at something particularly

Anika ”what’s going on”

ShivOmRu ”nothing”

Anika ”okay…Shivaay i am hungry, shall we have something”

OmRu ”bhabhi we will get something for all of us…you both go ahead and look at remaining renovations”

Anika nodded …OmRu left…Shivaay pulled Anika near him and nuzzled her neck holding her from back placing his hands round her waist…Anika closed her eyes and feeling the love he was showering she spoke the words that were hardly audible to anyone except shivaay

Anika ”I think you should leave me now…because someone might come in”

Shivaay ”i will…because i have to show you something that only you and me have right on”

Anika broke the moment and looked at him confused ”what” she asked

Shivaay held her hand and took her through the steps and they reached the room where Anika stayed during the competition……

Shivaay ”Mrs. Oberoi…please do honors of opening the door…and yeah by the way this room is now not open for anyone except for both of us”

Anika opened the door, it seemed to be the most beautiful and exotic room among all the rooms she had seen till now….

Anika ”Mr.Oberoi…this seems to be a suite rather an Room”

Shivaay ”hmm…yess….this is indeed the most exotic suit of the hotel, but ..but…but…this will be solely for us…this place had the best of moments we spent, your pampering me, feeding me, our combined effort, my stupidities and so on…. everything gets reminded when i enter here and so if you see the paintings, it has every moment captured…i made this specially and exclusively for you”

Anika ”i don’t know what to say…i am falling short of words and what can i give you in return for all this Mr.Ritchie Rich?”

Shivaay closed the door and locked it….Anika was getting nervous ….his hazel eyes were pricking her …she stepped backwards….he pinned her to the wall…..

Shivaay ”you need not give me anything in return..except for a promise”

Anika ”what promise”

Shivaay ”Promise me you will never leave me ever”

Anika ”Do you still feel i will leave you? don’t you trust me?”

Shivaay ”I trust you, more than i trust myself…i am asking this because, we have decided to be united through nuptial bond, though we know we are already united by hearts….when we start our married life, there might be situations where we get difference of opinions, we may not accord with each other, we may argue, we may fight, we may not be able to balance the family…but whatever is the situation and circumstance…promise me you will never leave me…because i know if you make a promise, you will never break it and i also know you did that till now”

Anika ”I promise Shivaay, I promise Mr.Oberoi, I promise Mr.Ritchie Rich…i promise i will never ever go away from you, neither in my life nor in my death…and i promise to not break my promise whatever the circumstance and situation is”

Shivaay took her lips with his …Anika reciprocated with equal passion…drowning in their own ecstasy they forgot the fact that they were feeling hungry, until Shivaay’s mobile rang…wiping their lips and holding each other, Shivaay answered the call…

Shivaay ”food is ready…shall we go..”

Anika nodded and stepped forward….Shivaay once again pulled her back and whispered in her ears

Shivaay ”hamara madhuchand yehi par hoga..isi jagah..jab ham har tareekein se ek honge..aur mujhe uska intezaar rahega aur tumhara bhi…bahut waqt zaaya hogaya…ab aur nahi rukna…jaldi ye dilwala apni dulhan ko yaha le aayega”

Anika blushed and ran away from there , Shivaay smacked his head and followed Anika…She composed herself when she saw OmRu…Shivaay too did no different….they had their food

Om ”Chopper is ready, shall we leave now,  every one is worried for us..”

Anika ”does no one know, i am back?”

Rudra ”Shivaay bhayya said , you asked not to inform anyone”

Anika ”ohh ya i forgot…i donno how to face them now”

OmRu ”don’t worry bhabhi…family we will handle…but your friends gang…we can’t help”

Anika was scared as she had tough task ahead

Om ”Shivaay shall we leave now?”

Shivaay ”naah…we will be coming by bus till bangalore and then take a flight till Mumbai…so you guys proceed and let this matter be a secret till she steps into OM ”

Rudra ”bus…you are kidding?”

Shivaay ”no..i am serious” he took out two tickets and showed them, Anika blushed….

Om ”till now you were mad  and now you have become mental”

Rudra ”yeah..i agree…fine do one thing Shivaay bhayya…i don’t want to trouble bhabhi…so we will take her in chopper, you and Om come by bus”

Shivaay ”what…no…no”

Anika burst into laughter….she turned to Shivaay and said

Anika ”i am dying to meet my family…shall we postpone the bus trip to next time…only if you are okay with the proposal”

Shivaay ”anything for you Mrs.Oberoi”

OmRu spit the water listening to Shivaay calling Anika as Mrs.Oberoi…

OmRu ”not bad…not bad”

Shivaay ”i think we should make a move”

They all sat in the chopper and reached OM ……

————————OM

Pinky ”OMM…where has Shivaay gone…he didn’t say anything and just left and he is not replying to calls or answering the messages”

Jhanvi ”don’t worry Pinky he will be fine…didn’t you notice , he has been becoming normal ever since Sahil has met him ”

Pinky ”hmm…true’s jhethani ji…i just wish Anika meets him soon…and he gets backs his happiness”

Jhanvi ”yess…i too wish the same”

Dadi ”i don’t why but i am feeling something good will definitely be gonna happen…”

Pinky ”aapke mooh mein ghee shakkar…by the ways Jhethani ji, OmRu are also not seen…they too disappeared’s”

Jhanvi ”i was also thinking same..may be they have went behind Shivaay to ensure he is fine..”

Pinky ”sacchi jhethani ji…kisiki nazar naa lage teeno bhaiyon par…always together’s , caring for eachother’s…but after they get married shivaay’s will be alone na….i wish Anika is here’s” she sat down feeling sad

”Auntyji ” the voice was heard by Dadi, Pinky and Jhanvi

Pinky looked at Jhanvi and said ”Jhethani ji…this is Anika’s voice…did you hears…i can’t forget her voice…”

Jhanvi ”yes Pinky i too heard”

Dadi stood up in surprise looking at Anika…Pinky and Jhanvi saw Dadi looking surprised, they turned towards the direction of Dadi’s sight….Anika stood there …

Pinky ”Anika…OMM…is it really you…i said na jhethani ji…it was Anika’s voice …see she is here…”she spoke with tears of happiness forming in her eyes…Jhanvi placed her hands on Pinky’s shoulders being equally happy and emotional seeing Anika…they both started walking towards Anika when

Dadi ”Stop there you both….”

Anika was shocked so was Pinky and Jhanvi

Pinky ”mummy ji…what are you sayings? Anika is here…she is back..we must be happy , why are you stopping us?”

Dadi ”because i want to make sure, she has come to just see how we are …or she has come back to stay with us…this time i don’t want anyone of your heart to break…i have seen all of you remembering her everyday…i have seen my Billu suffering…i have seen the smiles on your faces fading away…that’s why i am stopping you” she spoke to Pinky and Jhanvi but indirectly questioned Anika

Anika bent her head down in guilt…ShivOmRu came from behind

Shivaay ”dadi…woh”

Dadi ”Billu…i need an answer from her not from you three…i know you went to meet her…because you may or may not share with your mom, but you never forget to share anything with your dadi…”

Rudra ”Dadi…this is not fair…you have stopped her at the entrance and started your questions…you can’t do this with her”

Dadi ”you don’t make me understand what is right and what is wrong…i have brought you three up…and i know better ”

Om was about to say when Anika spoke

Anika ”You three please don’t say anything more…Dadi is right…she has every right to scold me, question me, and decide about me…because it was she who brought me into this family”

Dadi ”good…i thought you forgot everything and moved on…so tell me why are you back…if you are here just to see the state of us without you…then let me tell you, we are happy…”

Anika ”i know dadi you are not happy…i know dadi you missed me the same way i missed you …i know dadi i have hurt you by going away and never turned back…but dadi what should have i done, when everything happened before my eyes…i was not in a position to see anything beyond or to say i was not in a position to look at the truth…i was broken with the happenings and i left…i know i should have spoken to you at least once, but what would have i said…i had no guts to say anything…i thought …i thought..” she couldn’t continue anymore

Dadi ”you thought we were happy to get my Billu married to that Sanjana…you thought we all were with Billu in this decision…Anika , Pinky during Kriti’s marriage gave you so many clues that how much she was eager to get you as her bahu….i agree you haven’t seen the truth beyond, but you understood pinky’s words then ..isn’t it”

Anika remained silent…she had no answer…when a voice was heard from behind

”She is not at fault maa…i too was at fault”

Everyone turned it was Tej and stood behind Tej was shakthi

Dadi ”what are you trying to say”

Tej ”Maa…i have always known that Shivaay was not interested in marrying Kapoor’s daughter, but situations were such then that i had to make him agree…Shivaay agreed only for me…and in all this Anika was the victim…i asked Shivaay not to confide anything to anyone, not even to Anika…he always wanted to say everything to her, but because of me he never did….he did what i asked…even today if Shivaay had confided truth to Anika…he must have definitely said what all he did, but i am sure he might have never said that i asked him to keep Anika away from all these…the mistake was neither Shivaay nor Anika’s….so i don’t think she is at fault…if i were in her place , i must have acted the same way…”

Dadi was melting…Tej walked towards Anika and placed his hand on her head …

Tej ”Anika beta..i always was in guilt these days to stop Shivaay from confiding everything to you…had i not stopped , nothing of this sort would have happened….i am sorry”

Anika hugged him and with choked voice spoke ”never say sorry uncle…i respect you a lot…i really respect you…whatever you have thought is and will always be right…because i know, you will not take any decision without a reason…and i don’t want to know ever what was the reason..not only know, but in coming future, i will never go against your decision..whether it may be right for me or wrong for me”

Tej pampered her…

Tej ”maa please…i request you…forgive my daughter” Anika looked at Tej teary eyed when he called her daughter

Dadi ”do you think i can ever be angry at her…she is and always be my dearest Anika puttar”

Pinky ”OMM ..Mummy ji…can i now go and get my daughter-in-law”

Dadi nodded in yes, Pinky and Jhanvi went towards her when Tej stopped them

Tej ”not so soon Pinky…first i want to know my daughter’s opinion…if she is really interested in marrying your son or not…and remember is she denies i will not give my daughter to you”

Shivaay’s jaw dropped….Anika smiled looking at him….

OmRu ”exactly…we are with you in this”

Dadi ”Anika puttar…tell us ..will you marry my Billu?”

Anika was blushing hard…while Shivaay was getting scared….Anika nodded in Yes….Shivaay relaxed

Shivaay ”thank God…you said yes…i was getting scared ”

Anika ”why ?”

Shivaay ”because you are Ms.Surpanaka…you can change decision at any time”

Anika ”and you are Mr.Ritchie Rich..because of whom i change my decisions”

Shivaay ”because of me…ohh please…you start everything ”

Anika ”really..i start everything…just remember who stepped on my books in the class first”

Shivaay ”who started screaming first”

Anika ”who punctured my scooty?”

Shivaay ”who irritated me?”

Everyone were laughing really hard

Dadi ”uff bas karo bas karo…how will you both spend life together if you start your fight anywhere”

Anika and Shivaay smiled …Pinky hugged Anika and Anika was more than happy to get back her family

Anika ”thank you so much Auntyji”

Jhanvi ”from now on no Aunty ji…you must call Pinky as Mummy ji and me as Maa..Shakthi as papaji and Tej as Papa..OmRu might be your devars , but they will always be your brothers first…Prinku may be your nanad …but she will always be your Sister first…got it Anika”

Anika nodded happily with tears and hugged her saying MAA” , Jhanvi tightened her hug and Tej OmRu prinku joined the family hug….

”i am missing in the hug…don’t ever forget me ” Sahil spoke

Tej went to him and brought him and said ”Without you, nothing would have been possible..and i must say you are better than this Rudra” he spoke pampering Sahil

Anika ”Not fair papa…Rudra is my sabse sweetest brother and devar…no one will say him anything”

Jhanvi ”i knew …after your return, Rudra is gonna be out of my hands seeing your aid and protection…and i don’t want to stop you”

Pinky Shakthi Dadi and Shivaay had a group hug…Tej signed Jhanvi and Jhanvi smiled…

Tej and Jhanvi came near Shakthi, Pinky, Shivaay and Dadi and said ”We have come to ask your son Shivaay’s hand for our Daughter Anika…do you agree…if you agree, we will perform the marriage in such a  way that everyone will remember it for their lifetime…”

Shakthi and Pinky ”We will be more than happy to get your daughter as our DAUGHTER not Daughter-In-Law”

Tej-jhanvi ”You can let us know your demands….we will fulfill everything”

Pinky ”OMM…Jheth ji…please give’s you daughter and bless thems , we don’t needs anything…my heera beta has everything except your daughter”

Everyone smiled and took the blessing of Dadi and the youngers took the blessings of all Elders……

Very soon the marriage preps were started , invitations were given for printing and OmRu set up a  party..but only for the common friends of them , so that the differences can be cleared…however none of the OF members or Shivaay had informed them about Anika’s arrival….

Mallika, sid, daksh, Mamta, Madhuri and Rajini came as invited…the invite was sent for Tia too…but she didn’t come as she needed time to do anything or face Anika and Shivaay for the deeds of her sister Sanjana…

Shivaay was speaking to all of them and everyone observed him to be really happy, they all were suspecting somewhere that Anika was back…but didn’t say as they knew if their assumption goes wrong, shivaay will become sad…

Rajini couldn’t control anymore as usual and Said ”Shivaay, is Anika back?”

”Why are you asking him…ask me if i am back” Anika spoke from behind

Everyone turned towards Anika in surprise, shock and stood still…Anika walked towards them…

Anika ”what? why are you standing like statues? i am really back”

Mamta ”who are you? ” she turned towards Shivaay and said ”Shivaay, who is this girl? and why is she in this party? we thought this party is only for us, i mean we friends”

Mallika ”exactly…who is she? we don’t know her”

Madhuri ”and we don’t like any new faces to be added in our group..i mean we are so possessive about this group”

Sid ”guys please relax…you just can’t ignore her”

Mallika ”sid ..say directly…do you want divorce from me…if yes then support her”

Sid sealed his lips, giving up…Daksh tried to speak when Mamta shut him up…Anika looked at Shivaay with puppy eyes….

Shivaay ”okay Guys…let me introduce you all to my would be wife…ANIKA”

Everyone spit their drinks listening to Shivaay calling Anika as Anika instead of Ms.Surpanaka

Anika was amused …she stepped towards each of their friends, forwarding her hand for a hand shake and spoke

Anika ”hi…I am Anika…i have heard a lot about you from SHIVAAY..”

Now they were even more shocked..

Anika”  and when he said so much positive about you…i was longing to meet you all…thank you for handling my would be husband in tough times….” she spoke dramatically

MMR ”ok enough of your drama…don’t butter us with these cheesy lines…we are still angry at you” they spoke turning their heads…

Mallika ”and for your information…we cannot leave him as you left” she spoke and bit her tongue

Anika smiled sad while tears formed in her eyes…she tried to compose herself..

Mallika came near and said ”i am sorry , i never meant to hurt you..it just came out of my mouth”

Anika ”you need not be sorry, because anyone would react so…i must be sorry, for going away and never being in contact with anyone of you..but my state was altogether different…i know you all have right to be angry..but you are my friends…put yourself in my situation and tell me what would you have done if you were in my place…it’s true i was in no contact with anyone of you, because had i been in contact with anyone of you, i know seeing state of Mr.Ritchie Rich,  you would have confided about my whereabouts, which i really didn’t want to happen then… i don’t want to justify anything more…i leave the choice to you, decision to you, to accept me back as friend or ignore me…but you all will always be my friends…and whether someone understands my state or not, i expect you to understand my then state of mind ”

She turned

Mallika-MMR ”You have this magic of speaking that you convince us without apologising …you know what we many times thought that we will get angry when you come before us…not to forget slap you really hard…but very soon our decision used to change and you know what we wanted to do..”

Anika looked at them…they all came and hugged her…Anika too hugged them…

Sid-Daksh and Shivaay took a sigh of relief….After that best friend hugs, Anika hugged Daksh and Sid and apologised…they made her smile

Daksh ”waise Anika….did you not find anyone better than this Shivaay..i mean you should have thought about me”

Shivaay ”are you my friend or enemy…wait i will inform your wife the same”

Daksh ”dude…do anything except that…my wife is already a lioness…if she hears this she will turn into hungry lioness and will pounce on me…by the way Anika i am still ready for you”

MMR-Mallika ”shut up Daksh”

Sid ”you have said it Daksh..i can’t even say it because my wife is before me”

Shivaay -Daksh and Sid gave hifi to each other smiling…while Mallika -MMR got readied to hit both of them….they were running behind each other while….Anika and Shivaay entwined their hands with Anika resting her head on Shivaay’s chest looking at their friends blissfully

After a while all came together for a group hug ….

Finally Anika got her family and friends back while Shivaay got his lifeline back……only to have their life with peace and happiness !!!!
