EPISODE- 14
Tears filled up in her eyes. Shivay looked at her, he came close surrounded her in a tight hug. “Please don’t leave me Shivay” Anika pleaded.
“To know what I meant please wait till tomorrow and have this juice” Shivay extended a glass of juice. Anika drank the juice. He made her lie down and stroked her hairs till she fell asleep. He dropped a kiss on her forehead. He got up and looked back to check her “I am sorry Anika but this is the only way out” he said and went away from the room taking his luggage.
DAY 7
Anika got up. Shivay was not beside her. She feared he left her. She noticed the room and smiled within herself looking the room entirely decorated. Then realisation struck her that Shivay isn’t there. “Shivay… where are you?” Anika cried out. No response came.
She hurriedly went down from the bed “Shivay…” Anika called again but no response came. She checked for his luggage but it wasn’t there. Only his watch was kept on the dressing table. “He left me… yeah Anika he left me… he did right… last time I left him and he took his revenge, he went back to his wife whom he love now… but… but he said he loves me… maybe he said that to keep me calm. He can’t do this… he is married… he is married” she repeated the last two words several times and fell on the ground with a thud.
His watch was in a tight grip. “I love you Shivvvaaaayyyyy” she cried aloud while looking at the ceiling. Her eyes fell on the wall clock.
“1:35 PM…??” She muttered to herself and she continued ” I can never sleep this long” she tried to remember what has happened before she slept. She remembered he has given her juice to drink “that means… that means he has spiked the juice, so that he can easily go away… why did you do this Shivay” she broke down crying. She again stared at the decoration of the room.
After sometime Tia came in with a dress. “Anika wear this” Tia said in an ordering tone. She wiped her tears and looked up at Tia. “What is this?” Anika asked looking at the dress. “No questions just wear it” Tia said her.
Anika had no strength left to fight back. She got up and went to the washroom to get freshened up. She came out in a towel. Tia helped her in wearing the dress. Then Anika realized it’s a lehenga. She opted to stay quiet thinking maybe Tia is making her wear that because maybe she has decided any of her marriage function suddenly just like the engagement party.
After Anika wore the lehenga Tia made her sit down in front of the mirror and started doing her makeup. “Tia why are you doing…” Tia cut Anika in between “Ssshhh…!!!” Tia just said. “But Tia…” Anika again got cut “Anika you will come to know everything…” Tia checked the time and it’s showing 3:20 PM and continued “… after an hour or so”
Anika didn’t ask her anything. Tia decorated her face with the veil. Anika initially to ask but kept mum thinking only fifteen minutes are left for an hour to get completed.
Tia and Anika came out of the room. After coming downstairs a familiar hold gripped her hand. “Shivay…” came out from her mouth. Waters dropped down her eyes.
Shivay took her to a well decorated mandap. “We are getting married would be Mrs. Anika Shivay Singh Oberoi” Shivay completed. She immediately looked up. Her eyes filled with water. She never expected this surprise.
“I Love You” Shivay muttered in Anika’s ear. Anika hugged him tight while tears ran down her eyes. He stroked her back to calm her down.
“If you keep crying like this then we have to get married after two years” he joked. She came out of the hug and hit his right arm. “Ahhh..” came out from Shivay’s mouth. “I hate you Shivay… if you would have told me I wouldn’t have ran away” Anika answered in a irritating tone.
“I wanted to give you surprise” Shivay said making puppy face. “It wasn’t surprise it almost kill…” Shivay held her mouth resisting her from completing the sentence and nodded a no.
Anika smiled looking at her Caring Singh Oberoi. They moved towards the mandap.
“Mangalam Bhagwaan Vishnu… mangalam…” the pandit chanted the mantras. The marriage got completed.
“So Mrs. Anika Shivay Singh Oberoi…” Anika cut him in middle “Only Anika” she smiled after completing. He too smiled and continued “So my khidkitod Anika let’s go back to Mumbai and celebrate every ritual of our marriage with family? What say?” Shivay asked. Anika nodded a yes.
“I am married Anika” Shivay said and smiled. Anika too smiled and hugged him tight.
