“Bhaiyya no, we'll have Disney theme” She whined and he frowned.

“One idiot you're Anika. Disney theme for a wedding? Mad girl it's not a birthday party. There's this fairy tale theme ok. It's mind blowing” He told excited and she thought for sometime.

“Ok tell me about it” she told half convinced and he turned to sit facing her.

“Ok so the curtains and all will be baby pink colour with golden sequences——”

“Bhaiyya not golden, let's take white”

“But pink and white won't go well Anika” He told and she smiled widely.

“what about red and golden. That will be like amazing”

“Don't you think red and golden is so common?”

“Ya it's common. Bhaiyya's and khushi di's wedding shouldn't be a common affair”

“Don't you think you should call her bhabhi?” He nudged her teasingly and she chuckled shyly.

“Ya after their marriage I'll start calling her Bhabhi. I always had this dream of having a best friend Bhabhi. In case of Khushi di and bhaiyya, I always had doubt” She told thoughtfully and he frowned.

“I didn't even have that realisation. Idiot best friend and stupid sister of mine” He told with a sigh and she chuckled.

“What do you think they are discussing so deeply?” She told turning to their families and he shrugged.

“No clue”

“Where is di and bhaiyya?” She asked looking around and he smirked.

He whispered something in her ear and she turned a deep shade of red.

“Chi!! She's your sister for God's sake and I'm your best friend's sister who should be like a sister to you. Shiv Shiv! You're saying this to me? Cheapda!” She told shaking her head and he burst out laughing as he pulled her cheeks from both sides.

“You're too cute. I don't know what will be the condition of the person who marries you” He told teasingly and she blushed.

“Waise bhaiyya, do you have someone in your mind? Khushi di's marriage is up but still you're not yet married” She told teasingly and he smiled.

“Ah! I can't find anyone perfect. Either girls want to jump over me or jump over my money. Haven't met anyone genuine till now” He told and she sighed.

“I will pray you get a perfect girl just like me” She told and he chuckled.

“What about all those girlfriends you had in school?” She asked and he sighed.

“Flings. I wasn't serious about anyone”

“I saw you once—you know pressing Shweta di onto the wall” She told flushed and he turned to her embarrassed.

“Anika I swear it was nothing. Tried to kiss but thank God, some sir saw. I'm glad that didn't happen. I was a little serious about Shweta but not serious enough to lose my first kiss” He clarified. Somehow he didn't like Anika having a misconception about him.

“So who was that lucky girl?” She asked with a smile and he chuckled.

“Well, I decided to keep it safe for my so wife. So I'm clean as of now” He told and she looked shocked at him.

“Seriously?”

“Why so hard believing it?”

“Shivaay” His mom called and they turned to the family who had stood up to leave. They too stood up from the couch.

“Let's leave Mom?” Shivaay asked and they nodded with a hidden smile.

“Anika, call khushi” he whispered and she turned to him with wide eyes before shaking her head frantically.

“Once I almost saw them kissing. I can't. You go and call” she whispered to him and he controlled his chuckle.

“Fine you come with me. I don't want to get embarrassed alone” He whispered and rushed from there grabbing her hand.

“So as decided. Let's surprise them both tomorrow with the marriage decision. They both will be so happy that we got to know their wish” Radha, Anika's and Arnav's mother told and Jhanvi, Shivaay's and khushi's mother nodded.

“I'm so glad. Anika is someone we all know and I can't be anymore happy. I always wished to see her as my Shivaay's bride” Jhanvi told and both the fathers nodded in agreement.

“I can't agree more. Anika won't get a prefect man than Shivaay. We know Shivaay since Arnav and he became friends from kindergarten and I can't be anymore happy to give our Anika to you” Harsh, Anika's father told and her mother nodded in agreement.

“Now I don't have to worry about people questioning why khushi is getting married before Shivaay” Jhanvi told with a sigh.

“They think that we don't know about their liking towards each other. The way they behave, they think we don't have eyes” Tej told and the trio chuckled.

(The scenes are parallely happening)

“Fhat the wuck” Shivaay shouted.

“What the hell” Anika shouted.

“Anika and me?” Shivaay asked shocked.

“Shivaay bhaiyya and me?” Anika asked shocked.

“She's like my sister”

“He's like my brother”

*

“Please Shivaay. Agree yaar! I believe my sister is not so bad looking that you're so against marrying her. If you don't agree, mom and dad will prolong our marriage because Khushi can't get married before you. You idiot is not ready to marry anyone” Arnav told and Shivaay glared at him.

“Did you ask me before secretly dating my sister? And how can you even say Anika is bad looking? She's the most beautiful girl I have ever seen but do you understand the difference? I saw her as my sister. She's just like khushi for me” Shivaay told with a sigh.

“What's the big deal? You can quickly change it”

“How easy for you to say? I grew up seeing her as my sister idiot! She's still that small baby who learnt walking holding my fingers” He told and Arnav sighed.

“Shivaay because of your adamant behaviour, Khushi is going to suffer. I just have that to say” Arnav tried the last possible way.

*

“Anika, what's the problem with my brother? Isn't he handsome? Hot? Charming? Then why are you so against marrying him?” Khushi asked and tears brimmed up in Anika's eyes. This pressure was too much for her to handle.

“Di, yes, Shivaay bhaiyya is handsome. He is hot, he is charming, he is everything a girl can wish for but why can't you all understand? He's like Arnav bhaiyya for me. I can't see him anything more or less than that” She told breaking into sobs and khushi hugged her tightly.

“Ok calm down. You don't marry him. I won't force you. Just that I have to wait till bhaiyya gets married. I will wait for my Arnav” Khushi told and Anika looked at her with wide eyes.

“Did Aunty and uncle say that?” Anika asked and Khushi nodded.

*

“Can we make this work? I can't see bhaiyya and di depressed like this” Anika asked softly over the phone and he sighed.

“I don't know Anika. Let's try. I don't want them to suffer because of us. If we can't make this work, then divorce is always an option” He told and her breath hitched in her throat.

“Divorce?” She asked shocked.

“Only if we can't make this work. I believe in marriage and love” He told softly.

“Do you?” He asked sensing her silence and she hummed.

“Say something Anika” He told after a long silence.

“Let's say yes to them tomorrow” She told and he hummed.

“Ok then I'll hang?” She asked and he sighed.

“This will work right?” He asked and she bit her lower lip.

“I don't know but let's give it a try” She told.

“I'll hang?” She asked again.

“Don't. Let's talk for some more time. Say something” He told and she smiled.

“What should I say?——shh Papa is coming. I'll call later” She told and quickly hanged the call before he could react.

He chuckled and lied back on the bed.

“We will make it work” He told to himself.

A/N: So... Tell me, should I continue? Please try to avoid "awesome" and "amazing" and tell me in a sentence how's it. Please?

This is a typical falling in Love story. No Villains, nothing. Just a journey of Shivaay and Anika falling in Love. This Little part of Anika calling Shivaay "Bhaiyya" was a part of one of my "one shots" which I published in my other book. For those who felt that they read this Somewhere else.
