"Are koi hai ghar me? Kalyani? Tej,Shakti?"

Shivaay Annika got disturbed from the voice that came from the entrance of the mansion. They gave irritated look and went to see who spoiled their mood.

It was an old lady with sharp features, eyes shining bright and though very old but has quick reflections. She was looking at the place in very quintessential manner.

Through her glasses she was inspecting whole mansion. There was so much curiosity in her eyes which was not giving a good vibe.

Shivaay Annika reached to her and shivaay took blessing from her. Kaisi hai aap? What a pleasant surprise,dai maa. Dadi aur baki ke gharwale ghar par nahi h . Bas hum hi hai main aur Annika"
When he said Annika , Annika bend down to touch her feet, but she ignored her, and continued with her question.

Are kalyani ko mene kaha tha bahut zarori baat karni h ajkal me milti hu, ghar pe rehna, par teri dadi, na use kuch yaad rehta hai na fursat hoti h. Tej aur shakti bhi bahar hai puttar?"

Acha koi na.... tu bata kaisa h tu itna bada admi ho gaya hai ki ab dai ma ki yaad bhi nai aati.

All this while Annika got confused on who is she and why she ignored her like that, On the other hand shivaay got completely involved with her dai maa and forgot Annika.
Annika did'nt mind that beacause she know when and how to react. She just thought now when there is nobody at home, their secret reveling session will not be there .when there are guests in mansion she better not talk about it. So she thought to go to her work again which she left due to Shivaays urgency.

She wanted to bid bye to shivaay but he was too much busy with dai ma. She felt neglected but she remained silent and silently moved away from there.

She was waiting for auto but she was not getting any now her anger turned into frustration. She started mumbling."Apne aap ko samjhe kya h? Wo mujhe drop nai karenge to me kya mein ghar nai jaa sakti. Mein kya un margilli ladkiyo ki tarah hu, jo apne boyfriend ke bina saans bhi nai le sakti,
(blushing over her calling him boyfriend, but realising that she also cant breath without him.)
Mujhe unki koi zaroorat nai hai jab wo meri life me nai the tab bhi to akele jaati thi na."

Finally getting the cab she sat and the auto started to move. she reached midway when her anger subdued with the long horn from back she knew it was him, but she was very angry so she ordered the driver not to stop,and dont even give him way to go.
He obliged, but as being SSO he continued to blow the horn. Few minutes later driver got irritated and he signal car to pass, but shivaay stopped his car in front of the auto rikshaw.
He got out of his black Mercedes and moved forwad, even though Annika was angry on him but she didnt failed to awe his handsomeness and his ever so hot attitude, his tadi which made him more handsome.

He came to her and with force took her hand made her come out of the auto, she was so adamant that she tried not to look at him. Then he spoke

"Jab tumhe pata hai, mujhe nahi acha lagta tumhara aise auto me jana to kyu jaati ho, aur har baar me tumhe chodta hun na to aj kyu aa gyi. Wo bhi bina bataye."

He was very furious, and she was not at all looking at him, this time she decided not to give explanation, her negligence made him more angry now, ealier he was complaining now he was angry, he said pulling her hard towards him,(dont forget they were standing on road, everyone stopped there to look what is happening).

They were very close their hot breaths mingling, eyes were intense she was angry on his neglect now he was angry because of her silence,eyes were fighting their own battle not giving up.

Shivaay spoke again,"will you just speak up, and dont try to show attitude on me okay you also know tadi ke mamle me main tumse kahi jyada aage hu." Just speak up."

Annika could not control now, she in equal pitch and in equal attitude said"sabse pehli baat mein apse darti nai hu.Aur aap to aise bol rahe hai jaise meri galti hai, ignore kisne kiya pehle, aapne to dai ma ko ye bhi nahi bataya ki mein kaun hun",
Now her frustration took a different way, mujhe aap ek baat batyiye apko mujhe logo ke samne introduce karte waqt itni kyu michmichi machti hai? Me maanti hu aap badal gye hai par abhi tak aap comfortable nai hote jab logo to batana hota hai ki main kaun hu, apse kya rishta hai mera. Kyu shivaay ? A lone tear coming out of her eyes."

After their being in relationship ,she always felt that her being belonging to low class will come in between their relationship, though shivaay never made her feel like that not even other member of the family, and surprisingly not even piky. After tia's revelation, she was so shattered that she lost interest on everything, putting her all focus on religious work she cut herself from family but when Annika shivaay announced their relationship she slowly became normal.
Annika knew that oberoi dont have double standard but she has this insecurity that her status will always come in between her relationship with them, she never shared her fear with shivaay. And when shivaay didnt introduced her to his daima her insecurity got words and reason.

"Batayiye shivaay aapne kyu introduce nai karwaya daima ke samne mujhe, aur aap kehte h mene apko ignore kiya? Ignore aapne kiya hai aur mujhe pura haq banta hai apse naraz hone ka."

When she finished her hurtfull words, she saw storm coming from shivaay's eyes, there was so much anger in them that she felt shiver around her spine. She can bet that for this shivaay will never forgive her, but she need an answer and even if it results in shivaay getting angry .She continued to look into his eyes his eyes changed colors. He was holding her hand but now he losen his grip and without touching her he came more close, her heart started to beat faster their proximity level was on top but only difference was they were not at all looking romantic. Finally shivaay spoke.

Mujhe nahi pata tha Annika tum mere bare me aisa sochti ho. Mene kabhi bhi aisa nahi socha aur na kabhi aise situation create hone di jisse timhe aisa lage, but fir bhi agar tumhe aisa lagta hai na to mujhe sach ab lagta h ki mene tumhe us inteha tak pyaar hi nai kiya. Pata hai mene har baar koshish ki hai ki tumhe aisa feel na ho. But agar tumhe humare do saal ke rishte me ye feel hua hai to, i am very sorry, i think mere side se koi kami reh gyi hogi."

Shiavaay was apologizing but she knew the fact that he was hurt so much that he is not even trying to clear her doubt, he just gave up, she was more than his love, her one accusations made him to think that he failed in this relationship, it is obvious that their status is the most prominent barrier to their relationship and he tried to remove it, he tried every possible way to not let her feel like that, but her words made him tormented.

He took few steps back and said "you know mujhe laga meri Annika muje mujhse jyada samjhti hai, par..... khair .. me tumse bahut pyaar karta hu Annika isliye chahe tum mera dil kitna bhi dhukhao me tumhe kuch nahi kahunga, waise bhi pehle mene jo bhi kiya uski saja mujhe tumne abhi tak nahi diya hai. Me soch lunga ki yehi meri saza hai.
Aur rahi baat dai maa ho na batane ki ye tum bhi jaanti ho ki mere liye dai maa ka acceptance zarori nahi hai.Aur mere liye jiske acceptance ki zarorat hai unko mein bata chuka hu.

Jusy saying all this without looking at her he gave money to auto driver and he left, then he moved to his car and opned his car door and sat there, he was waiting for her he did not moved. She knew he will not move without her so she went to the car and sat, she wore her seat belt and the car moved.
He dropped her to her home and without a word left.

Annika home

She was feeling restless she knew she hurted him. And she knew the fact that shivaay is not a two faced person when he use to believe that name, lineage mattered to him he was open about it. He declared that he believes in it, he never forced his views to others but he was open about his thought. He is never secretive, always opened up even if it hurt other people.

Now she blamed him for the thing he did not do. His eyes which looked red with anger, now she was sure it was red due to pain, it was because she accused him.

Annika was now feeling guilty. She now tried to recollect all her memories with him and not even a single incident she could recollect where she was humiliated due to her status, in presence of him. It broke her more. Her eyes full of tears and heart feeling the ache of hurting her life, her shivaay. She membered how those 15m went when they were in the car. His every breath she can guessed was feeling pain. Now she could not control her tears, she called him but he did not pick.

Pulling a cushion she cried bitterly and slept.
