The guests starts to pour in Oberoi mansion, press, media, friends, family, Gouri, Rudra, Omkara, Soumya..all smiling, celebrating for the occasion of making their Billi a paraya Dhan.
“Where is Bade bhaiyya??”- Gouri searched for the kanji eyed elder brother of her long haired husband.
“He is getting ready”- Omkara answered.
“Oh wearing nice suits, spraying nice perfume, gelling those hairs on his head, checking health of his mobile and shouting at some poor fellow”- Soumya gave long list.
“Annika bhabhi??”- Omkara asked this time.
“Checking for arrangements, decoration, food quality, smiling at every one who is talking with her…”- Rudra answered,” I asked her to get ready but she still have time”.
“I thought only Shivaay is a businessman but Annika bhabhi turned out to be a busy bee”- Omkara sighed,” I am going to call them”.
“Jaldi karo …I am hungry and foods are…teasing my nostrils”- Rudra kept hands on belly.
“Its not any pooja, If any pooja also you shouldn’t stay hungry for more times”- Annika arrived there,” Rudra go go eat whatever you want”.
“But cake!!”- Rudra complained.
“You can have any cake any time…”- Annika observed well the empty stomach of her Rudy bro.
“I will see that Bhagad Billa now”- She left
“Come in..I was waiting for you…”- Shivaay invited Annika,” what is happening with me??”.
“You are standing and talking to me”- Annika answered.
“Hey not this time but from last few days…What are you trying to do with me and my family”- Shivaay got irked a her way of answering,” OmRu are not saying anything to you, you have captured my every thing and I am tolerating you silently with out doing anything…”.
“I don’t feel like answering any of your question”-Annika left to change.
“I just know you are trying to help me but I was trying to know if Dadi sent you “- Muttered Shivaay in front of closed washroom door, it fell in deaf ears, shower was running….
********************************
“Pink suits you well, but I am finding it difficult to differentiate you from the dress”- Shivaay complimented,” Pink panther…”.
“Blue and black is a nice combination but does your blue eyes differentiates colours well or every thing looks just blue to you?!”- Annika returned him back.
“I am going meri Jhansi ki raani”- Shivaay quickly ran away, feeling some what shy after her compliment and anger too. Face all red till ears.
He just complimented, talked nicely, didn’t shouted at her..Annika left wondering about the Billu!! How many colours he have, personality and characters in side the single Shivaay Singh Oberoi,” Aap bhi satrangi hai..aapke kanji aankhon ke tarah..”.
She stood shocked at her place. The cool Omkara was glaring at the angry young man standing in garden, Jhanvi Badi maa numb, Rudra confused, Tej Singh Oberoi…
“Actually..I invited him here”-Annika gave a sheepish smile.
“You are just too much, crossing your limit here”-Pinky shouted,” how can a girl be able to understand the pain jethaniji bear due to all kands of Jethji”.
“I don’t understand…Because I never wanted to..what will I do understanding any one’s pain or agony”- Annika gave instant reply,” there is nothing to understand..nothing when I can’t lessen the pain”.
“I knew he is coming. Its his home, he stays here just away from family togetherness, aloof to all, I had to discuss about our divorce so that my children will be settled with the alimony”.
“Shall we talk about that later, after the function “- Shivaay eyed media outside,” Annika look behind”.
Annika grabbed Tej’s hand and dragged him towards media,” actually we are planning to join hands for a deal so were discussing on it”- to shut their mouth up.
“Brilliant!!”- Shivaay praised in his mind,” What a brain, she is saying truth but half only”.
“Impressed bhaiyya!!”- Rudra nudged him.
“Very much”- Came the honest reply.
********************************
“What does this girl know about our family matter, she is interfering too much”- Pinky was furious.
“I want peace and happiness in my house…”-Annika gave daring reply,”I think Tej Singh Oberoi is the first step in that. Elders should be in correct place to show path when younger are….leave that, this is a zoo, all scattered. But it seems few peoples have pack up van ready for them selves”.
“Mr. Oberoi..What you have to say about your behaviors towards family life… wife, sons..”- Annika asked Tej directly.” Om calls you as that right”.
“Swetlana has some proof for my some works, she is blackmailing me for her profit”- Tej stood as a culprit,” I am trying to get those proof back”.
“Mr. Oberoi…what are you indicating as some proof, it means you did some crime or illegal business”- Annika smirked,” You are going to jail any way, I am helping you to reach there soon, I will bring you out soon. I think its the only option you have for coming from the mess you created for your self”.
“Shivaay call for your lawyer and ask him the ballet papers”- Annika behaved like a boss,” I hope you have a team of detectives, I think you should use them after wrong persons like Shwetlana not after innocent right ones”.
“Oh bete ki…”- Shivaay closed his mouth, only some air came out,” She actually find it out”.
“I will surrender to return back soon”- Tej agreed,” for my family..children and wife…”.
“That is sounding much better”- Annika reacted normally.
“Om..any problem..??”- Jhanvi find her son trying to use his hair covered brain.
“If you don’t have any then I too have none”-Lamba baal wala prani remained calm.
“In a week time..you will be back home, its my promise”- Annika left from the discussion place.
“Rudra!! What are you eating now?”- Shivaay terrified his brother..
“The cake”- He indicated his hands full with reception cake.
“Chote papa…Annika bhabhi has asked to give you this gift”- Rudra stopped Shakti,” open ..open and say what is inside”.
“Ha ha ha ha…”- All laughed in chorus,” A basketful of Horlicks bottles!!!”.
********************************
“Kaafi smart ho tum..”- Annika walked towards recliner, Shivaay said,” you managed it too well Jerry!!”.
“I know Tom, A billu can never be a jerry”-Annika behaved her normal way.
“So next target is who?? hope not me”- Shivaay find her mission interesting.
“You are an way..not the target, let me sleep so that I will be able to set my target”- Annika smiled,” But my experience is saying ways are better then target…Raaste manzil se khubsurat hote hain”.
“Not khubsurat..Handsome actually..”- Shivaay came back to teasing mode,” Aur Raasta hi manzil bann jaaye toh..”.
“Lets see…”- Annika sat on her place.
“Whatever you are doing for this family Annika, I am always with you…”- Shivaay promised.
“Unhone ne bhi yehi kaha..Ajeeb hey”- Annika smirked,”My bf also said the same words..”.
“It matched because that BF of yours is my GF actually”- Shivaay gave her a shock
“Dadi gf hai aapki”- Annika opened her mouth.
” This is what I was trying to hear from you”-He closed his eyes and ears tight for sleeping.
“Huh!! Chantumai kahin ke”- Annika scolded.
