Annika went to her room and just lied down thinking about her mother's sudden decision. She never ever wanted to get married in her life.According to her the word marriage is only a token to betray someone and the relationship of loving someone is only for lust.Her life was only filled with her small family and she never even dreamt of getting into a relationship and now her own mother forcing her to do so was making her more sad. Thinking all this tears brimmed her eyes.She was not even able to share this to anyone as gauri had left to visit her parents that morning.She was thinking all this when karunya entered the room...

K-annika...you can leave to college today ,they had an important commitment so they've decided to visit us tomorrow.

A-kyun aisa kar rahi ho mummy(getting up from the bed)

K-its for your good annika ,trust me(caressing her head)

A-(jolting away from her hold)no mummy ,I can't .I won't marry anyone.

K-annika(angry) don't you understand ,already your sister has hurted us a lot and now you're being another burden for me...(she said it wantedly)

A-kya ...(devastated)kya kaha tumne?Bahut buri ho tum mummy(she said this and ran out crying more)

Annika also knew that her mother was doing all this wantedly to make her agree for marriage ,so she didn't converse anything more...

K-I'm sorry annika...(wiping her tears),I know I've hurted you but whatever I'm doing is for your good...

In college

Shivaay noticed annika's behaviour from morning ,he knew that something was really troubling her .He asked her about it but she didn't tell anything to him.After the classes when she was about to leave he followed her along the corridor and tried to speak to her...

S-annika kya huwa aapko?koi problem...(cutted by her)

A-what's your problem shivaay,why are you troubling me?(shouting)Can't you understand...I'm your friend that doesn't mean ,I've to share everything with you .Don't take advantage and just stay in your limits,Did you understand, just go...

She left from there leaving a downhearted shivaay.He was more disturbed as she still didn't consider him as her friend with whom she could share her problems .On the other side annika was walking being lost in her own thoughts ,she missed her bus so she was moving towards the bus stand .She was totally engrossed in her thoughts such that she didn't notice a lorry approaching fastly behind her ,but shivaay who was standing near the college gate saw this and immediately called out her name but annika was very far from there so she didn't hear it.Shivaay instantly ran towards her and when he reached near the road divider ...

S-annika....(shouted)

Just now,annika looked at him being confused .He signalled her look back and instantly her eyes widened in shock when she witnessed the lorry behind her .She just stood rooted being shocked but suddenly she felt herself being pulled by someone .And when she opened her eyes she saw shivaay tightly hugging her ,and due to sudden imbalance they both slipped and fell down .She was completely lying on him while he caught hold of her tightly to such an extent such that she was clearly aware how sacred he was ,adding to it his heartbeat deliberately spoke out his condition .Slowly they both realised their position and moved away still sitting on the divider.

Then shivaay noticed something in his hand and instantly he was shocked to see  that he had torn annika's kurti (at the back side) in the commosion due to which her undergarment was being visible .Annika who also witnessed this at the same became uncomfortable .The crowd gathered there saw this  and thought that shivaay was misbehaving with annika and started badmouthing him.Annika saw the lorry which approached her to be standing on the other side road and she realized that it came through her way but it actually turned the other way for parking.By the time people surrounded there were just not shutting their mouth and they didn't even leave shivaay to explain what actually happened ....

A-ok just stop it...(to the crowd)All of you move from here,he didn't do anything wrong.(angry)

Person-what you are telling ,we were helping you and you are supporting this cheap(cutted by annika)

A-Not a word more(glaring angrily),I'm very thankful to you for helping  me now plss leave (she said abruptly)

And the people left ...

Annika didn't speak anything rather she pulled him along with her and went to the bus stand while shivaay felt completely guilty for his deed.Without speaking anything she tried to adjust her dress but she failed.Suddenly she felt a cold touch on her shoulder and she slowly turned back to witness him unhooking her duppata .He gently removed her duppata and spread it over her back covering her back.All this time her eyes didn't leave him as she silently saw how delicately he was handling her. At one point shivaay also realized her gaze fixed on him and slowly shifted his eyes on her .They had a blissful eyelock ...

S-I'm sorry annika(maintaining the eye contact)

Instantly tears started rolling down on her cheecks making him baffled...

S-annika I'm sorry ,I didn't do it wantedly.I'm really sorry,plss don't cry(concerned)

A-(nodding negatively)buri hoon main,bahut buri hoon mein(crying )sabko hurt karthi hoon(facepalming herself and hitting her face with her hands).I'm doing no good to anyone,I'm just hurting everyone....(crying more)

S-annika...annika(trying to calm her but she was resisting him)annika(he literally roared and caught hold of both her hands and pulled her closer so that she doesn't hit herself)kya huwa aapko haan?I don't know what's your problem but people do mistakes when their mood off .Even I get mad at people if I'm disturbed ,isme aapki galti koi nahi hai.Samje aap(insisting)

She was completely lost in him,then only he noticed that there was nill distance between each other .He left her hand and turned the other side and she was facing his back...

A-Mr.Shivaay Singh Oberoi...(poking her finger on his shoulder)(he didn't turn back but had a confused reaction on his face)Mein Annika hoon,sabse badi pagal hoon mein,short tempered hoon...aur pata nahi kya kya hai...mein tumse best friendship karna (stressing the word)chahtha hoon,Muje accept karoge(cutely)

His face bloomed instantly and he slowly turned towards her while she had a puppy reaction  developed on her face.He directly looked into her eyes and smiled subtly indicating his acceptance. Immediately he felt himself being pulled in a hug.It wasn't a tight hug but it was indeed a heartwarming moment for both of them...

S-Now also I'm telling you annika,sabko problems hota hai,how each one handles it only matters (still in the same position).You just sit calmly and think what you can do, but the decision must be yours completely yours .Aapka dil se poochiye kya karna hai ,aur vahi sahi faisla hoga ...

A-hmm(nodding)

A-you give big lectures, (pulling out from the hug).But you know one thing you are indeed a dumb ...

S-why ?what did I do.

A-matlab,when you were not at fault why you were trying to convince those people few minutes before ? And then mujse sorry bol rahi ho ,itni innocent mat raho people will fool you .Itni sweet mat ho (cutely)Bold honi chahiye teek hai(expressive)

S-teek hai madam chaliye(smiling)

And they went to their respective houses.

At the same time Daksh repeatedly called karunya and tortured her to accept what he says .But being a mother she couldn't take risk in annika's life .She wanted annika to get married immediately and settle in abroad so that she doesn't suffer due to  daksh.So now karunya's plan was to make annika agree for marriage, and for that she was ready to do anything.When annika returned home she saw noticed that all the food prepared was kept as it is,she realized her mother haven't ate yet .She went to her mother's room where karunya was arranging clothes in her wardrobe...

A-mummy,why didn't you eat?

K-why you are caring about that annika?(sarcastically)it's my life I can do what I want to . ..

A-mummy plss ,don't show your anger on food.You should have your medicines right,come let's eat(trying to pull her)

K-just leave me annika(jolting away)I don't want to eat ,I don't want to have medicines.For whom should I live when my own daughter is not ready to listen to me(crying)

A-aise mat kaho mummy.I don't have anyone other than you(crying).You are not understanding me ,I don't know why...(wiping her tears)ok...you want me to get married right,ok...if my marriage could make you happy ,I'm ready for it .I'll marry the person you want me to ,teek hai...(bluntly)

Karunya just hugged her daughter in return and felt extremely happy for her decision as she only knew how crucial situation it is .While annika thought of shivaay's words at that moment...

A-(thinking)I'm sorry shivaay,meri mummy ke liye ye karna padega.For me my mother's happiness is more important than my own favours and decisions...Meri dil ye nahi chahthi hai,par phir bhi ...I'm doing this...

At the same time in OM

Shivaay was sitting near the pool dipping his legs into the water reminiscing his moments with annika today...

S-(thinks)you don't have to feel for scolding me annika ,you have full rights on me (chuckling).And I'm extremely happy today,you consider me as your best friend and that mere thought is driving me crazy.You are the love of my life annika,I can never see you in trouble ....(and he was completely lost in his thoughts not aware of annika's decision about her sudden marriage)

Love....shouldn't just be a feeling, it should be a way of life💞
