On reaching OM shivaay rushed to see her .Annika who was still awake thinking about her newly found intuition which screamed that she did love her idiot,tried to suppress this thought within her. Because she knew ,for shivaay she was his best friend ...she was his best everything but will she be his best love ?She doesn't want to risk her friendship in process of moving towards him with love.

When he switched on the lights ,she closed her eyes tightly and pretended to sleep.He who noticed her closed eyes   pulled a chair closer and sat facing her .

S -annika ,I know ...you are awake .It's ok ,aankein mat kolo.I won't be able to see you crying .Plss don't feel bad ,meri paanika ho na tum ?I'm sorry ...idiot sorry ....haan ?teek hai?

A- nahi ,It was my fault .I shouldn't have behaved like that (she spoke with  closed eyes)

S- kya bol rahi ho tum ?You didn't do anything,stop thinking like that. Meri annika ho tum ,kuch galat nahi kiya hai tumne.

Listening to him she got up and sat ,witnessing his red eyes ,she got worried .

A- did you cry ?

He remained silent .

A- why are you doing like this idiot ?

S- bahut hurt huwa hoga na tumhe ?(he asked in a low voice )

A- forget it shivaay ,It's ok.And you didn't ask her anything about it right ?

S- I shouted at her .(he said without looking at her)

A- idiot,pagal ...pagal ho tum ?(saying which she pinched his lap)

S- ahhhh,annika .Then what do you expect me to do ? She hurted you ,I cannot take it ...So I just ...(nodding negatively)

A- shivaay ,you aren't understanding .Whatever she said ,she didn't mean to hurt me .It was just a sudden outburst, I should have known to act according to the situation. Know one thing shivaay ,girls are very sensitive when it comes to relationships. Mri se sorry bolna,teek hai?

S- whatever ,I don't understand anything. She knows that we are friends from childhood right,then why did she react like that?

A- you won't understand,ab jao I'm sleepy .

Saying this she pulled the duvet over her and was about yo lay down when she felt him cupping her face .

S- I'm sorry (with a concerned face)

A- shivaay ,I'm telling you right ,I'm fine don't worry .I forgot it already

S- pakka na ?

A- hmm ,jao .

He left from there not before caressing her hair .After he left ,she woke and sat.Before she could comprehend a reason her eyes started watering .

A- kya karun mein ? Shivaay muje apna friend maantha hai aur mein usse ............kya karun !

The next morning

P- (in call)ji haan ,annika has accepted .She itself told me ...ji haan..... teek hai ,mein rakthi hoon .

This was heard by shivaay who was passing that way .

S- mom ,kya baath hai ?You seem to be happy ?

P- come on shivaay,you would have known na. Annika would have surely asked you first ,

S- mom ,I don't know anything. What would annika ask me ?

P- you really don't know ?

S- nahi .

P- ajeeb hai ,arey our annika is going to get married shivaay !!Teri paanika ki shaadi hone waali hai!Not only that shivaay ,after marriage she's going to leave to States.

The second these words entered his ears his face turned pale as if he was experiencing some sort of terrible pain.Many reasons were behind his pain ,annika has taken such a big decision and she hasn't uttered a word to him .Another heartbreaking news was that  she was going to leave him soon.This thought was wandering in him ,magnifying his pain through every second.He stood still without movement .

P- shivaay (shaking him )

S- haa, mom ?did you force her for marriage?

P- I didn't force her ,she herself agreed for marriage .She shares everything with you right,then why did she hide this from you? Is there any problem between you both ?

S- nahi mom ,kahan hai vo ladki ?(he was angry )

P- she had some important work today so she left soon .

A- hello ,

Receptionist - hello Ms.Annika ,you have a visitor .

A- yeah ,I'll come .

Descending down the stairs annika was confused to see shivaay seated there ,

A- shivaay ,tum yahan?

S- come with me .

He dragged her with him .

A- shivaay ...where are you taking me ...shivaay ....

He made her sit inside the car ,and he himself took the driver seat .

A- what happened idiot ?

S- why didn't you tell me about your marriage ?(his voice showed anger )

She remained silent .

S- annika .(he shouted )

A- nahi shivaay vo ,

S- Do you even know what it felt like when mom told me this ? I'm getting informed,about your marriage. It's hurting annika (he turned his gaze from her and spoke in a broken voice )

A- shivaay plss ,don't think like that .I didn't think of hiding this from you .

She tried to hold his hand but he jolted away soon .

S- then ?Am I not important to you ?When Mrinali proposed me ,you were the first person with whom I shared about that and tum ....chodo mera haath .

A- I'm sorry shivaay ,

S- jao ,tum aur tumhari sorry .(he pushed her hands)

She realized what blunder she has done ,it wasn't intentional.The truth was ,in love with him ...she didn't really have the courage to discuss about her marriage with him .Noticing him seated without even turning ,both her eyes welled up.Whatever she was going through at that second was too painful for anyone to even think of .Because ,she had realized that he was her love ...her world ...her everything,but poor she couldn't even express it and on top of that she has accepted for an alliance .Did she make a wrong decision out of haste ?Is this right?Whatever it is ,she doesn't want to loose his friendship in trying to reach him with love .That is what which made her take this decision .Because if she's near him ,this newly found feeling of her's will definitely eradicate their ancient friendship. She can never afford that ,so it's ok to stay away from him .....She convinced herself suppressing another truth that it was impossible for her to leave him .

Feeling a long silence he looked at her to find her to be wiping her continuous tears .

S- I should be the one to cry,not you .

A- I want to cry ,so I'm crying .What bothers you ?(she spoke between her sobs )

S - don't sit and cry in front of me .Jao ,you must have some other important work...jao.

A- don't ever speak with me idiot (she warned him before leaving the car )

And here he was confused like hell

S- matlab kuch bhi ?what did I do man ...

Evening

When annika returned from work pinky told her that Dev (groom )has come to meet her .

A- aunty ,shivaay ...shivaay kahan hai ?

P- He will be office,why are you asking about him now ?Jao Dev is waiting for you .

A- ji .

Annika wasn't prepared for this meeting atleast for today ,after having a stupid fight with her idiot ,the whole day went worst .She somehow made her mind to apologize to him,but suddenly this meeting?What will she speak with the person? With a confused mind she went to the terrace to find a person who stood back facing her .

A- hi ,I'm annika (she said in a low tone )

Hearing which he turned towards her .

D- Hey hi! I'm Dev ....Hmm I must say ,you actually look more pretty in real when compared with the pic .

She smiled faintly.

D- vaise ,you must be thinking that why I've come here alone without my family right ? If I was accompanied with my family ,it would have been very formal  .We would have not even had a chance to speak with each other. So I just thought of visiting you ,so boliye do you like me ?

A- haan?

D- maa told me  that you accepted the alliance,but will you accept me? I think that's what which matters.
