Shivaay- Ms.Reporter ,will you kindly dare  to explain me about this(he asked being angry while throwing the news paper on the table)

Annika- Mr.Shivaay,it's my job.I'm a reporter and I've to pick things  and blow them up.If you're really concerned about this gossip article ,you should first stop your girlfriend Mrinali from posting 10 pics a day.(she said stressing the word)

S- she is not my girlfriend. (Angrily)

A- whatever.(turning her gaze the other side)

Just then they both heard a voice from the entrance of OM

Mrinali- hey guys.

Shivaay had a terrified look watching mrinali while ,annika rolled her tongue through her inner mouth to control her laughter watching his face.Mrinali came running and sat beside shivaay.

S- mrinali ,how many times I've told you not to post our pictures in social media ,see (showing the news paper)what this girl has done.(looking at annika)

M- Oh common ,annika you didn't get any other picture .See I look yukk in this(she said making faces)

A- sorry mri,I'll do my best  in the next article (smiling mischievously looking at shivaay)

S- ok enough is enough paanika,I'm your friend right?Why did you do this?

A- billuji,I've told you many times that profession is different from friendship.When my channel manager asked me to do this article,how can I deny it?

S- first stop calling me that (irritated)

A- it was you who started .

Saying this she got up and went to the dining table .

A- aunty,I'm hungry.

Pinky- Yeah ,annika I'm coming.

She served the food and ,annika was savouring it happily when shivaay came rushing there.

S- this is unfair,I was genuinely talking with you and you just walked out from there ?

A- you weren't talking,you were scolding,warning and(interrupted)

S- ok stop it,I'll just leave .

Being irritated he turned to leave ,but immediately she threw something on him which hit his back making him turn.

A- fine,I'm sorry (holding her ears)sit here.

S- no I'm not feeling hungry.

A- Mri....

S- ok fine ,I'm  sitting.

M- anika you called me?

Shivaay gave a deathly glare to annika while she  just rolled her eyes.

A- uhh, actually shivaay want's you to serve food for him.

M- ok.(she she said enthusiastically)

She started serving him while shivaay was shooting daggers on annika for doing this .Annika winked at him and concentrated on her plate again.

P- annika I read your article.You didn't mention anything about me?(she asked being sad)

A- sorry aunty.

S- mom,are you serious?This girl has no other job than writing stupid boring things. Is this all about your journalism skills?

A- hello ,just shut up ok. Didn't you read the 12th page?I've written an overall coverage of a crucial murder  incident .Did you know how many of them appreciated me for that?(smirk)

Shivaay just shook in disbelief.

P- mrinali beta,you had your breakfast?

M- yes aunty,I just came to meet shivaay.

P- when are your parents  planning to come to India?

M- It depends on shivaay's decision aunty.

S- plss don't start again. Mrinali,I've already told you I'm not ready for marriage as for now.

P- shi...(interrupted)

S- mom(he galred)

M- it's ok shivaay. I understand

A- mri,don't worry .I'll find you a 3000 times better groom than this sadu.

S- oh really!(facing her )I  plead you to do that first.

M- guys,don't start again plss.

Sighing both of them turned their faces to the opposite side .

A- aunty,I would be late today.So don't wait for me,lock the door and you go to sleep.I have my keys.

S- why you're going to be late?

A- I have some work.

S- you're not going anywhere just reach home soon as usual, do you get that (he ordered)

A- shivaay plss,stop controlling me.

S- I'm not controlling you idiot. Try to understand

A- I'll just leave .

She stood and walked out while he did the same chasing her behind trying to convince her.

Mrinali who was watching all this smiled and spoke to pinky,

M- you know what aunty , I would be wondering many times whether these two are really just friends or ....

P- mutual thoughts mrinali,but when you ask him about this he deliberately opposes saying " what!!! me and pannika? we're anything and everything except lovers"(mimicking shivaay)Don't worry beta, he will soon accept you.

On the other side.

A- ok fine, I won't be late .Happy(stern face)

He just nodded.

A- bye .(she turned to move when)

S- paanika.

A- hmm?

S- you've done a great work .

A- I didn't get it

S- your another article about the murder.

A- you read it?(she asked curiously)

S- what made you think ,I would haven't.(smiling)

A- you're such a billu shivaay (she ran and hugged him)

S- I know.(caressing her head)

So the first chapter ends here.How was it?

Shivaay and annika are childhood friends.Annika lost her parents in her childhood,pinky took care of her after that as pinky was the friend of  annika's mother.About mrinali,she's shivika's collegemate.She loves shivaay but he haven't reciprocated yet as he just finds her to be a good friend.

And about our shivika,they think they both are "anything and everything but not lovers".

So friends what you guys think?is their statement about their relationship going to change?

I'd continue this if I get good response.
