The next day morning

Since it was Saturday they both were not ready to wake up soon and it was already 10am.

Pinky-annika beta...(banging the door)

Hearing the sound annika woke up but still shivaay was in deep sleep...

A-( still closing her eyes)mummy...(crying fakely)plss aaj Saturday hai,let me sleep na.(according to her she was in her house)

P-annika...

A-mummy...(squealing)why are you doing like this ?

She got irritated and started punching shivaay who was sleeping peacefully thinking that it was a pillow beside her.

S-maa...(wincing and getting up)

Hearing the sound she also opened her eyes and got up.

S-ahhh(rubbing his forearm)ahh....

A-I'm sorry, sorry (pulling his hand and rubbing the place)

S-why did you hit me annika,I didn't do anything ...I was just sleeping (frowning cutely)

A-nahi Mr.Innocent ,I thought you to be a pillow and ...sorry(pleading face)

S-kya,annika...mein kahan se aapko pillow jaise dikh raha hoon?(stretching his arms and showing)mein utni fat nahi hoon.

She started laughing at his cuteness ...

S-annika...?

A-ok ok...fine(controlling her laughter)I'm really sorry shivaay(holding her ears)

S-(pulling out her hands from her eyes)sorry accepted.

P-annika...

A-I think it's pinky mummy ,mein dekhthi hoon.

She went and opened the door.

P-I'm sorry beta I had to wakes you up.Vo kya haina ,aaj tum dono ko mandir jaana hai ,isliye ...

A-nahi mummy it's totally fine.

P-get ready soon beta(caressing her head) aur haan,ye tumhare liye hai(giving a dress)

A-thank you mummy.(smiling)

Before moving pinky bent sideways and looked at shivaay who was still sitting on the bed being drowsy...

P-shivaay(loudly)

S-haan haa mom...

P-jaldi tayyar ho jao,enough of sleepings...(and she went from there)

Then shivika got ready and went to the temple

Shivaay

Annika

Since it was a special day,the Pandit asked them to lit up the diya and worship SriRam .So annika was working on the matchbox while shivaay stood beside her.Suddenly shivaay noticed that her dress was about to fall on another diya but annika didn't notice it.

Immediately he pulled her away due to which the diya which she was handling fell down and broke ...

S-be careful annika,(pulling her hand and handing over the shawl into her fist)hold this carefully and then do your work.What if something happens to you?(scolding with care)

But annika didn't reply anything rather she just smiled in return.

S-aap hass rahi hai?(baffled)it's serious annika what if(before he could proceed she kept her finger on his lips)

A-shh...tum ho na mere saath,muje kuch nahi hoga(nodding).I'll bring another diya,you wait here(she went )

Here shivaay stood numb still living in the previous moment...

S-(thinking)annika...you make me fall more crazy for you in every next second.

Then while doing pooja ,the Pandit asked annika to tell shivaay's nakshatra but both of them stood silently as they didn't knew those details...

A-I ...don't know(hesitantly)

A lady who was also standing there noticing all this...

L-kya din aa gayi,this girl doesn't know anything about her own husband.Today's world is like this only(speaking with another lady beside her),ye trend aur kya ?modern ...pata nahi kahan jaa rahi hai ye duniya.(annika stood silent listening to all this)See she is married but there is no sindoor in her hairline...(cutted by shivaay)

S-excuse me aunty?do you know her?(pointing annika )

L-nahi...

S-then ,with what rights you are speaking about her like this(dominating with stern voice).Muje bhi ek doubt hai poochoon?

L-kya?

S-pata nahi,ye duniya ki saare aunties hamesha sirf aur sirf dusron ke baare mein gossips kyun karthe hain?Do you all feel happy  doing it?(with full attitude)

The lady nodded negatively...

S-fine, we leave all that.You have no rights to talk about my wife like this(holding annika's shoulders and she instantly looked at him with contented eyes and smiled)sorry boliye....boliye?

L-sorry.

S-(to pandit)aap pooja shuru kijiye.

Shivaay closed his eyes and started praying while annika just stared at him wondering how could someone be so caring towards her. On  hearing  a word against her he immediately reacted and supported her which made her feel so special.

S-(opening his eyes and feeling her gaze on him)you are staring me annika?

A-(coming out from her trance)nahi...(bending down)

S-chalen?

A-ji.

Monday at college

The principal has called all the PG students to the auditorium to make some announcement.So shivika were present there along with their respective classes.

Pr-Good morning students,you all must be wondering why we've gathered here suddenly .It's actually a good news for you all.The college commitee has arranged an intercollge culturals competition (the crowd applauded).So there are many activities, to participate and I believe everyone would come forward and take part in it.And the other details will be given by your respective faculties.

At annika's class

They were supposed to decide the activity ,from drawing through lot chits.So the professor took a chit from the box,and annika's class was allotted to prepare for mime illustration.

In shivaay's class the same procedure was carried out and they had to participate in dance .And out of coincidence shivaay's dance partner became to be Raagini.

Raagini was jumping in happiness after knowing it and shivaay on the other side didn't react much.

Evening

Shivika were returning home in college bus.They both were seated beside each other.

A-so, you are in dance?

S-yeah, and what about your class?

A-we've been alloted with mime.

S-oh,that's great.

A-shivaay?...who's your partner in dance?(acting to be casual)

S-Raagini.

Instantly annika's eyes popped out on knowing that shivaay is going to dance with Raagini .She didn't know the reason but she didn't want it to happen...

A-do you know dancing?

S-nahi.

A-tho phir kaise?do one thing ,if your not interested chod dho.(pretending)

S-no it's fine annika ,let me give it a try.(he answered innocently not knowing about her intention)

A-teek hai.(defeated face)even we both make a good couple ,I don't know why they didn't allow merging(murmuring)

S-pardon?

A-even we both make a good pair right?(spoke without thinking)

The next second silence prevailed as both of them realized what she just said and automatically they had an intense eyelock depicting nothing but they were actually drowning in each other's eyes.Their eyelock was disturbed by Om...

Om-shivaay(patting him)we have to get down ,common.

S/A-haan...(moving their eyes from the other)

Loving you was never an option,it was a necessity 💞
