Chapter 47: [ 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 ]

[ SOULMATES ] : A Tale of Undying LoveWords: 16109

After leaving the house Shivaay drove towards his office. When he reached in

his cabin. He saw there his brother Rudra

Shivaay was not expecting him there in

early morning. Rudra is not an early riser, nor he is a workholic even he did't like to come at office. Thats why Shivaay got little surprise with his arrival

What are you doing here Rudra ?

He asked to him.

Last night when Rudra saw Annika in Shivaay's house. At first He couldnt

believe in his eyes. He immediately wanted to ask Shivaay about it but that time he didn't get he chance to ask him.

He hardly slept last night. He was curious

the whole night  to get the answers of his questions. That's why in early morning

he immediately came here today to talk with Shivaay.

He really wanted to know that was going on between both of Shivaay and Annika.

Is there anything which they are hiding from their family ? He wondered.

Obviously I am here to want to know that What was Annika doing in your house last night ? Is there something cooking between both of you bhaiya which no

one knows ?

Shivaay kept silent for quite a few seconds and then stressed word by word. Why do you want to know about it  ? And what's wrong in it if she was in my house last night  ? Why are you looking so eager to know about the things between me and Annika ? When you clearly knows that I don't want to discuss about my personal life with anyone. He asked him in a Bossy tone.

Bhaiya It's not like that. I was little surprised to see her there because I have never seen any girl in your house before the previous night. Even I have never seen a single girl near you. you don't like the touch of girls. But last night you hugged Annika back instead of rejecting her when she hugged you.

As I know you from childhood, I can say that You were never interested in girls.

You always kept a safe distance with them.Then what were she doing in your home in mid night  ? He asked.

You are the Most dashing and the richest Eligible bachelor of the world. Girls are dying to marry with you. But you never give a damn to them. You were only engrossed in your studies, career and business

How many times our family tried to fix your marriage and suggested you about so many girls who had powerful family backgrounds. But you declined everytime.

Even our family set up blind dates for you but you never showed up and met with any girl. You rejected them immediately without giving them a single glance.

That's why I was really shocked when I saw Annika in your house. I was really curious that time. But I didn't get chance to ask you about it.

Obviously in your personal house no outsider is allowed. And she is just your employee then what was she doing in

your house in your absence.

I want to know that how can she enter there and How can she hug you in front of So many prople ? Its really strange.

Who gave her the permission to do so.

Shivaay looked at Rudra and said

Hmm..you are right Rudra. An employee

is definitely not allowed in my house.

And not outsiders can enter in my home without my permission

Yes Bro I knew it. But I still can't understand that who allowed her in your house last night. And who gave her the courage to hug her boss infront of everyone ?

What do you think Rudra who can give her rights to hug me and to stay in my house ?

Obviously no one other than you bro.

Then why are you asking me this ridiculous and senseless questions.

Of course its only me who brought her in my house and gave her rights to stay there and hug me.

But why Bhaiya. She is just your employee. Then why you treats her so nicely. Why are you keeping her in your house ? I can't understand.

Because she got injured in the company few days ago while doing some work.

And here in Mumbai she lives alone.

Even her friend Mallika is also went abroad. So there was no one present who can take care for her.

She works for me so Its my responsiblity to look after her. Thats why I brought her in my home. In my home Mrs. Tang and  many servants who can take care for her.

Shivaay told him the truth.

When Rudra heard Shivaay he felt bad for Annika. She is such a lovely, delicate and a kind hearted girl. Who cares for everyone and has so much respect for elders in her heart. He likes her very much and he was very satisfied with Shivaay's decision that he brought her in his home and taking care of her properly.

Bhaiya you did right. Annika is your employee. She works for you. So its your responsibility to take care for her and her needs. I am so proud of you that you think so much about your employees and treats them so nicely. You are such a very nice person. He Said to Shivaay.

Rudra I can do anything for her because She is not just a mere employee for

me. She is much more than beyond it.

He told him about his real feelings

towards Annika.

She is your to be bhabhi. I adore her and She is the only one with whom I want to get married. So I want from you that you will talk about her with full respect.

Don't call her my employee again and again.

If anyone will try to talk rubbish about her. I will not like it and I will not bear it.

When Rudra listened this he almost choked and coughed in surprise. " What ? What did you say ?

Brother you said that you adored Annika.

Is that really true  ??

"It means The person about whom Om was talking that day is none other than Annika ? He never imagined not even his dreams  that the girl could be Annika.

He was going crazy about thinking the girl's real identity that who could she be When that day Om told him that Shivaay likes a girl. And Now when he got to know that She is Annika, He is utterly shocked.

Why is he getting shock after one by one

From last night. What's his fault. Why does he know nothing about his brother's personal life. Even no one knows why  ?

He couldn't understand.

He still couldn't believe in his ears.

Thats why He again asked to Shivaay

to confirm his doubt about the girl's identity ..Bhaiya Do you really love Annika ?

How is this possible ? When did you fall for her ? Am I dreaming or what ?

Is it real  ? Bro did you get confuse Or Are you kidding ? I hope you are saying truth. I mean you and Annika are together it's really surprising.  It's a Breaking news.

Rudra himself felt like that he was going crazy himself. He can't understand that how can Shivaay chose a simple girl like Annika for himself among the Richest and Popular girls all over the world. Annika is only an employee in his one company but still A person like Shivaay Singh Oberoi doted upon her and wants to get married with  her. He really found a girl for him. It's strange. Really strange.

There so many girls are also present with good and powerful family backgrounds who is waiting from many days  for Shivaay's Approval for marriage.

But still he chosed Annika over everyone. Shivaay was never took interest in girls.

Then suddenly Is it really easy for him to get a girl now ? Of course not .

It doesn't mean that he has any issue with Annika. Of course he likes her and She is

a quiet pretty.

She is a talented and a very  nice girl. Above it She is a great human being.

She impressed him from their first meeting. From then he used to like her

so much and he would also love to accept her as her sister in law. Even his family members likes Annika very much. But he himself  got little shocked with this news.

He never thought that one day Shivaay will chose her As his life partner.

But now when he knows about it then he is very Happy for both of them.

He would love to call her his bhabhi

from now on.

Is love the most powerful emotion ?

that it can also change a stubborn person like Shivaay singh Oberoi who only loves his Business until now. He wondered.

When Shivaay heard again a doubtful question about his feelings from Rudra Shivaay shot a glance at  him.

Of course he was neither joking nor he is confused. He really loves Annika a lot and

Only wants to be with her for the rest of the life.

Shivaay walked towards Rudra and  lifted his hand in air. When Rudra saw this he gulped down. He thought Shivaay is going to hit him.

But Shivaay only patted him at the back and said in a gentle tone..." Don't play with girls feelings. Don't focus on only playing around. Work hard, Be Sincere and find a person to yourself. Whom you can truly love and with whom you would like to spend your rest of the life.

Shivaay always heard different definitions of love from many people. But he never believed upon it. He always believe in his own ideologies and principles. He always listened to his mind . He never listened to his heart until he met Annika. He never thought that one day he will fall for a girl.

Now he only wants to listen to his heart voice because heartbeats always says

only one name ' Annika ' and he love to hear it again and again. His heart beats for her.

Now he believes that there is no great power than love ! Love has the ability to heal the world to change the person completely.

When Rudra listened Shivaay's sincere words. He smiled and said , " Bro !!!

Okay ..Okay I got it.

But you really scared me to the death.

I thought I asked again something ridiculous and you were going to hit me.

But you treated me so gently. You know bhaiya I never saw your soft side before. But believe me I am really not interest in

marriage concept. I only love my liberity.

Ok then later on I will find a girl for you

and will help you in your marriage.

When Rudra listened it. He got frightened and said in a loud voice.. " What  ?? No

Brother. No please don't do this with me.

You just continue to let me be free. I will never mess with you again. I will never interfere in your personal life from now on. You suddenly treating me so nicely

and I am afraid of it. Your gentle side is more horrifying then your colder side.

Please be cold again and instead of finding a girl for me I will prefer you to beat me.

Rudra was so scared that he nearly pissed himself. He thought what if Shivaay will chose a frightening woman for him. Then what will he do ?

And if his brother picked a cold Woman like himself for him. Then he will die with a fear. No he can't take a chance. He will Never. He loves himself very much.

Rudra thought wisely from escaping this

Situation and  suddenly he got an idea.

He flattered Shivaay

" Bhaiya I think this kind of thing is not for man to worry about ! Right now you should focus on Annika bhabhi. And after you marriage let Annika bhabhi find someone to me Right  ? Annika bhabhi is so pretty and intelligent. She has a really good eyesight. You and I trust her completely. She will find a perfect girl for

me in future. Am I right bhaiya  ?

Hearing this  Shivaay thought for a while and said.. I think you are right. Then She will chose a girl for you in future after our marriage.

After listening Shivaay. He got relief

and take a deep breath. He patted himself on his chest for thinking this excellent idea. Of course he trust Annika more than Shivaay in this matter.

After some time he told Shivaay..Bhaiya

I am quite satisfied with you that finally you listened to your heart and chose a perfect girl for yourself.

I believe that Now for you life is not

only a deal like a Business. Its above all.

I am truly happy for you because you listened your heart. And I will pray with God  that you and Annika bhabhi will always remain together happily for the rest of the life. I am very Happy for your

Bro that you Finally met with your true love.

When Shivaay heard Rudra's words he couldn't help but smile. His Heart which was initially heavy before last night now seemed to have lightened up. He was feeling too emotional.

So now when this is the case of Mutual affection and now you know her true feelings then don't you think that you should tell about it in our family members and both of you should start dating before

your marriage ? Obviously dating is the next step after confession. Rudra suggested.

Shivaay looked at outside the glass window and thought deeply then he replied... May be or May be not.

Why do you say may be bhaiya ?

When she already confessed to you ?

Of course dating is a natural thing in a romantic relationship between couples..Asked Rudra.

Obviously Rudra was an expert in different kind of relationships.

Rudra scratched his head and asked ?

Bro, Why are you behaving like a newly wed ? How long it has been since the two of you had this special thing going on ?

Shivaay's expressions darkened as he uttered ..It's only a first day.

Yes Rudra it's only a first day of our mutual relationship And I don't want to rush the things between me and Annika. Let nature take it course.

I love Annika but still I don't know very much about her. It will take time. Right now I know only one thing that she is very passionate about her  career and thats the only reason that she came mumbai.

I already talked about my marriage

with mom and dad. When Right time

will come we will get married. But now I have to deal with other matters which is going on. He answered.

After getting the reply from Shivaay.

Rudra understood his point of view.

He is agree with Shivaay. Of course patience is really important in every relationship. He knows it very well.

Ok Bro ! Then I am leaving. And if there is anything in which you need my help then just give me a call. I will quickly for you. He said and left

There is many things which is revolving in Shivaay's mind but  first he want to deal with his inner struggle. All of this happened too suddenly that it felt him so surreal. He never expected that Annika will told him about her true feelings last night. He didn't expected this from her. He was shocked when he listened her confession.

He was afraid that he would wake up and realize that this was all a dream. Even more terrifying was the possibility of her only saying those words in the heat of the moment that she would turn around and regret it and He was afraid of it.

After all the Biggest emptiness would be felt not from never possessing something

But from losing it after having a taste of it.

It is also possible that she might have said those things impulsively after experiencing a life and death situation.

In such a situation her feelings for him might have been intentionally heightened under such peril.

Now this happiness only brought torment in his heart. Before last night she never showed her affection towards him. Whenever he told her about his feelings

She purposely ignored him and tried

to maintain a safe distance between them.he clearly felt it and it hurted him a lot in the past.

She never accepted him. No matter how much he tried. And when she accepted. Then what about now ? What was he to her ? Now Is she confident about her feelings or not. He wants an answer.

What about their future ? She will marry him or not. He doesn't know. She might not have even thought about it all. Now after analyzing the pros and cons of the decision quantitatively he reached at the one conclusion that she confessed to him

becausd she was afraid to lose him

after hearing the news of his accident.

But What about now ? What about their future ? What about her insecurities ?

He want a clear answer.

The " What " ifs made endless round in his heart and head over and over again. Even he really wanted to know the answers But he still didn't want her to ask in the end. Because He has full faith upon

himself and in his feelings for her

Logically based on the Annika's attitude.

Which he had seen last night. He is sure that She doesn't want to lose him. It means she loves him.  So Shivaay himself don't know that why and from where his insecurity and confusion came from.

When he clearly knows that he will never going to allow her to leave him. She is his and she will always be only his

No matter what will be the situation and circumstances in future. But it is certain that he will not letting her go away from him in the end in any condition . He is Shivaay singh Oberoi. He always had everything the way he wanted. He could get always everything he desired. And he will never give up on Annika and their relationship. He made a promise to himself
