Annika was so lost in her thoughts. That she didn't realize what was happening around her. She came back from her thoughts by the sound of a broken glass.
When she turned back. She saw that the glass was dropped by a girl's hand. Who was staring at someone shamelessly without blinking her eyes. When Annika looked in the direction of the girl's gaze. She was shocked. Because the girl was drooling over none other than Shivaay. Who Just entered the party.
Shivaay's look :
All the Girls in the party were ogling him. Annika got extremely Jealous and possessive when she listened to some
girls talk about Shivaay.
One girl was saying. Is it true ? Is he
Really " Shivaay Singh Oberoi ".
President of Entire Oberoi group & industries, The King of Business & the Entertainment world. The world's Richest person.
Aaaaaah. Oh my god. Yes he is Shivaay singh Oberoi ! The world's one of the most Handsome Elegible bachelor. He really came to this party.. I couldn't believe my eyes. Another girl said.
I only see him two or three times
& newspaper until now. Because He mostly avoids the media and his bodyguards don't allow them to take his pictures.
That's why many people didn't get the chance to see him. And it is very difficult to get his appointment. Even there is
not so many pictures of him available
at google other than his 1-2 pics with his incomparable accomplishments at a very young age. But He is much more handsome in real life. More than his own pictures. Another girl continues.
We are indeed lucky that today we got the chance to see him in front of us.
It's a rare chance for any girl because he
is a dream man for every girl. A girl added.
Oh my God... He is wearing my favourite Blue colour today. He is so dashing, He is seriously the most attractive guy I have ever seen. He is truly beautiful. Not Just
in appearance but soul wise. Another
girl said.
...................................
Advaay was standing beside Mallika.
He was speechless from being suddenly blatantly ignored by his ' soon to be wife '
& guests. He was feeling a little awkward because this is his engagement party but Shivaay is the one who snatched all the limelight tonight as usual.
Oblivious to the scorching gazes surrounding him. Shivaay walked
straight to Advaay & Mallika. He congratulated them for their
engagement. Advaay Shook hands with him and hugged him while Mallika smiled and said to him...." Thank you so much Sir for coming. We are so glad that you
came to our engagement party ."
Shivaay nodded and sat down on the sofa and looked around for his ladylove. After coming here The first thing he wanted
to see his Annika. But couldn't find her.
Many girls wanted to talk to him. But they couldn't dare to go near him because of
his Extra ordinary Aura.
Shivaay was someone that once could observe only from afar and could not mess around with, so even though the beautiful girls in the party were literally ogling him , they did not dared randomly walk up to him. They could only observe him from a distance and gossip among themselves.
All the girls who were present at the party
belongs from the upper class & respected family. They are not the shameless and cheap girls who used to seduce a Rich man. But still it was hard for them to ignore such a Dashing man. Who was present right here in the party infront
of their eyes.
But someone dared to walk towards him.
In the crowd a woman wearing a Red dress walked up to him confidently and said politely '' Hello Mr. Oberoi...Nice to meet you. It is a Long time. since we last met. "
Shivaay looked at the girl who stood in front of him with a wine glass in her hand. He frowned and looked at his Assistant and Advaay with an icy gaze.
At his sudden glare Advaay and his assistant choked and coughed...Damn it ! Oh god why this woman Come over ? When she clearly knows that Shivaay always keeps a safe distance from the girls.
She is Maya Mehrotra. She has the title of the sole heir of Mehrotra's property and
She is also the CEO of the Best wedding planner & Event management company.
She herself established this company without her parents'support. She was widely circulated as the woman who wanted to
be Shivaay Singh Oberoi's wife .
But what the hell is she doing in this party ? His Assistant thought.
On the other side Advaay was stunned with Maya's sudden act. He was not expecting from her that She will directly walk to
Shivaay to initiate a talk with him.
Why is this girl so clingy. Why is forgetting that She is his wedding planner not a guest.
Advaay didn't want this girl to be his wedding planner. But When Mallika's parents insisted to his family, she is one of the Best wedding planners and introduced her to them. So they couldn't refuse them.
They didn't want to hurt their feelings.
Suddenly Advaay realized that many girlts secretly stealing glances at Shivaay. In which few girls are from the matchmaking
list of Shivaay's. Which his family had put together.
Even though Advaay didn't invite all of them but he could also not control
other guests to bring their friends and girlfriends to the party.
They were all the close friends and relatives of Mallika's and his family
so he couldn't Just reject them
for bringing a few friends.
But It was not His and his family's fault.
It was Shivaay's fault. He is the most Richest Eligible bachelor in the world.
So whenever he makes appearances in public. He normally attracts the attention of all the girls and people everywhere.
Advaay and Shivaay exchanged the looks
for a moment. Advaay gave him a goofy smile which Shivaay ignored royally and glared at him. After that he looked at the girl in front of him who was still waiting for his reply.
His dadi likes this girl because she is her friend's granddaughter. He respects his dadi a lot. Thats why he didn't ignore her in front of everyone and replied to her
coldly in a few words.
" Yes Miss Mehrotra ''
After that he didn't say anything.
The fact that She was not ignored by Shivaay pleased her. Maya released her
nervously clasped fingers and a smile appeared on her face. Finally she got an answer from him. She was full of Joy.
Last time she saw him at his grandmother's Birthday party.
Where she and her family were invited by his grandmother.
As the Eldest son & the Heir of Oberoi's Shivaay was also present there. That time she was completely enchanted by this man. And today when she saw him after a lot of days he was looking more stunning than the first time she met him.
This man ! She must get her hands on him at any cost.
Some days ago she heard that Advaay singh Raizada is going to marry Mallika Raichand. After hearing this
news she tried her best to convince Mallika's parents to get the opportunity to
plan their daughter's wedding. And finally she succeeded. she knew that Shivaay will surely come here to attend his Best friend's wedding functions. And She was not ready to lose this chance to meet him at any cost. Otherwise it was not easy to meet him without an appointment. And no one gets his appointment easily.
When She arrived at the party and saw him. Then she couldn't blink her eyes.
She heard about him from her college days. From then she used to like him.
And when the last time for the first time she
saw him in front of her eyes she immediately fell in love with him.
No girl can ignore his charms.
Finally after a lot of days she saw him today then there was no way she would give up so easily.
Afterall She is Maya Mehrotra. Mehrotra's family only heir. The sole owner of their property. Even if she would stand beside him everyone would have to say that they are a good match. She believe that no one would suit him better than she did.
And other than Shivaay. She is not interested in any other man.
Since she was young. As long as it was something she wanted. She would definitely get it. This time would be no different. She will get him by hook and crook.
And when today he replied to her in front of other girls and did not ignore her. Then She got more confident about her feelings and intentions.
She again tried to start a conversation with Shivaay .. '' If you feel bad last time then I am really sorry Mr. Oberoi. Like you I
was also not aware that our family is trying to matchmake us ". She acted innocently.
While In reality She and Her father were trying very hard to make his dadi and family agree for their marriage. But infront of Shivaay She wanted to
maintain her image as a Noble and elegant girl.
When Shivaay heard this. He coldly replied.." No worries. My family always tries to match me with different girls. It's a normal thing for me. And I do not give a damn to these proposals. I have long forgotten that such a thing has happened ever. So naturally I didn't
care about it. He makes himself clear.
When Maya heard this. She was highly disappointed. It means he is not even
1 % in her. if today she herself didn't try
to approach him then he was not going to give a damn to her. She is no one in his eyes. She is Beautiful, self dependent with a Rich family background. Many Rich men are interested in her then Why this man is so cruel to her. She wondered.
Shivaay's Assistant John on the other hand
was thinking about his Lady Boss. He was worried If Annika would see anything that she should not have. He really admired Annika. She is the only noble, elegant and beautiful girl in his eyes who is worthy to be his Boss Shivaay's life partner.
He carefully walked to his Boss and
said.." Sir have you seen Annika
madam ? " I hope like last time tonight
she will not misunderstand you again
after seeing you talking with Miss Mehrotra "
When Shivaay heard this. He thought about this. Last time When Annika saw him with Sara in a Restaurant she misunderstood the entire situation and was ready to leave him And If today she sees him with another woman then It is also a possibility that She can misunderstand him and the situation again.
No he couldn't take any risk. He immediately stood up and went from
there to look at his Annika leaving Maya alone. Obviously he didn't care about Maya and her feelings. She is no one in
his eyes.
Shivaay left from there without a single word. It was the extremely embarrassing moment for Maya. Because Other girls who was first feeling jealous of her now were making fun of her.
' Damn it ! Mr. Oberoi left. It must be because Maya annoyed him. All of us admire Mr. Oberoi so much. But we didn't dare to disturb him. But she shamelessly walked up to annoy him.
What a shameless girl. Just because she has a decent family background. She thinks that she could get her hands on him. How Annoying !
Listening to the frustrated discussion around her. Maya felt so insulted.
But She didn't want to lose this opportunity. She finally met Shivaay today.
So there was no way she would give up so easily.
When she thought about her goal. Maya regained her confident posture and chased after Shivaay.
" Mr. Oberoi please wait for me...She said and walked towards him on the second floor. But was Stopped by John ( His Assistant ) immediately midway.
JMiss Mehrotra, Is there anything I can help you with ?
I want to see Mr. Oberoi.
Mr. Oberoi is busy.
He politely refused her. Maya realized that Shivaay doesn't want to see her. But still She was adamant.
I know he is a busy person. But I just want to say only a few words to him before leaving. I won't disturb him. She excused.
Sorry Miss Mehrotra But Mr. Oberoi has no time to see anyone. His time is really precious. He again politely refused her and clearly expressed his intention.
Maya sensed that it was Shivaay's intention that He didn't want to see her anymore. Is she really annoyed him ?
A sense of loss appeared in Maya's heart. She bit her lips in disappointment and left unwillingly
...........................................
On the other side When Annika watched other girls talking about Shivaay and drooling over him. She doesn't like it. She was feeling jealous. But when She watched Maya with Shivaay and Shivaay didn't refuse to talk to her. She couldn't control herself more and left from there immediately
Once She heard from Rudy before that Shivaay's dadi likes Maya so much. She wants to make her Shivaay's wife and Oberoi's Elder daughter in law. She tried hard to match her with Shivaay.
But Shivaay was not interested in her that's why he denied.
Shivaay's Bade papa likes Sara while His Dadi likes Maya. Because according to them they are a perfect match for Shivaay.
Now Annika realizes how many girls are behind Shivaay. Who wants to make him their life partner. When Annika thought about this she felt uneasiness in her heart.
Just then a waiter walked towards Annika.
He offered her a soft drink. Annika was already feeling thirsty so she didn't think much and took the drink.
Just as She was going to drink it. Suddenly she was pushed hard from behind and directly fell into Aditya's arms. Who was Standing only a few steps away from her.
When she fell backwards, then the drink
Which was in her hand also fell down on the ground with glass.
Aditya immediately held her protectly
and make her stand properly.
" Are you Alright Annika ? " Aditya asked with concern and checked her from head to toe.
She nodded and answered..' I am fine '.
After that she looked at the girl who pushed her. A girl genuinely apologized to Annika and told her that she pushed her by mistake. It was not intentional.
.................................
On the other hand someone was talking with a person on the phone... " I am sorry...I spiked her drink. But before she could drink it A stupid girl came there and pushed her by mistake and the whole drink fell down on the floor "
Go to hell....Can't you do a single work carefully. Just because of your stupidity my whole plan flopped. I don't want any mistakes next time. Otherwise You will face serious consequences.
Someone threatened him on the phone and cut the call angrily.
........................................
Shivaay's pov :
Where I got stuck. What's wrong with every girl in this party. Why the hell they were all staring at me like this. I felt annoyed when I felt their continuous gaze upon me. And that Maya Mehrotra. What the hell she was trying to prove by her unnecessary talks. I am not a fool who can't understand her motive and intentions.
Dadi likes her it doesn't mean I will also like her. No matter how hard she is trying. In the end she is not going to get anything. She is no one for me. I was only tolerating her due to dadi's sake. That's why I didn't insult her in front of everyone.
I am not fond of parties. I came here only due to Advaay and especially for my Annika. Because I can't leave her alone
in this country.
I agree with my assistant. I can't give any other chance to Annika to misunderstand me. That's why I immediately left from there to search for her. Yes I know that Maya Mehrotra was calling me from behind. But who cares about her. I only care about my girl. Other than her no girl exists for me.
When I left From there I gave a known look to my Assistant John and He immediately understood my intention that I don't want to see Maya Mehrotra near me ever from now on. By the way My Assistant is very good at his work. That's why he is my Assistant.
When I came to the second floor. I look for my girl. I saw a girl push Annika by mistake and because of the push my girl directly fell in Kapoor's arms.
Pov ends.
.
..........................
On the other side of the room some people started playing the game of truth and dare. Annika's and Aditya's friends dragged them too for playing.
All the bachelors were familiar with the
rules of the game. So they spun the bottle. All chose between the Truth and dare at their turns and completed their tasks.
When the bottle stopped in front of Annika.
A girl asked her to choose between ' Truth and ' Dare '.
Annika thought for a while before answering " Truth ".
" How many boyfriends have you had before " ? Someone asked her.
Annika raised her eyebrows and answered truthfully... " I had none ".
Yes She had no boyfriend since her college life Until she met Shivaay. Shivaay was her first. About Arjun kapoor he was only her friend nothing else. Her mother and Anjali Massi were the Old friends of Arjun's mother. When his family sends the Marriage alliance at her home. Then she agreed because Arjun was a good person in every aspect and she has no reason to reject him. Her Massi was very Happy with the Alliance. So she said yes.
Yes She never loved him, but she trusted him completely. But one day he broke her trust and cheated on her, then she dumped him. At that time she only felt bad and cheated because he broke her trust but she never felt hurt. And Now she is glad that he cheated on her and she didn't get married with a spineless Jerk and a selfish person. She has no regrets
When Everyone heard that she had no boyfriend before they were a little surprised.
Because she is a quite pretty girl, so they thought maybe she had many boyfriends before.
One girl asked her.... " Are you saying the truth Annika. How is it possible that you had no boyfriend ? "
Of course I had no boyfriend before. Do you have any doubts ? Annika answered and asked her.
No I have no doubt. Actually you are extremely beautiful. So I thought you
had a lot of boyfriends before ! I was Just asking out of curiosity nothing else. The girl explained.
In the next round. When the bottle stopped in front of Aditya. He also chose ' Truth '.
" Are you single ? Or Do you already have a girlfriend ?" .. One friend asked him.
" Until now I am single but All Ready to
be mingle. I have already fallen for someone and Just waiting for her answer " ...Aditya replied truthfully and looked Annika lovingly
When Annika heard this. She didn't look in his eyes. She decided that As soon as she gets a chance. She will directly tell Aditya that She has no feelings for him.
She will Clear everything. She only considered him as her good friend
nothing else. She has no feelings for him. Now the situation between them getting awkward minute by minute and she is not liking it a bit.
...............................
Shivaay only came to the second floor to search for Annika. After that he was preparing to leave the party with her.
But when he saw what happened. His eyes turned frigid and his handsome face had a cold look on it.
Aditya kapoor was trying to chase his girl.
When he thought about it, his anger increased more. The way Aditya was looking at his Annika, As a boy He can
easily feel his intentions towards her.
He was being careful because he was afraid that Annika would misunderstand him again but he never would have thought that he would be the one getting
riled up and Jealous. The person who is his Business rival suddenly became his rival in love
.....................
The second time the bottle stopped in front of Annika. She did not dare to pick ' truth ' again.
If she continued to choose the truth, who knew What sort of questions would they ask her this time ?
She was afraid that what if they will ask about her personal life and current boyfriend. No she can't take his name here. Shivaay is a Public Figure, His popularity is more than an International Superstars and Celebrity. He has a certain social position with a certain scope and a significant influence. If she will tell others that he is her Boyfriend then people will not believe her. Even they will make fun of her. She can't take the risk.
If it was not about Shivaay, then she. would not mind answering anything. But It is related to him and his image and she dared not to go there.
Annika was continuously feeling his
sharp gaze on her, but she couldn't detect his presence in the room. But She was
feeling awkward minute by minute.
This time she chose ' Dare '.
Some people were a little disappointed when Annika chose dare, because the questions which they mentally prepared to ask her would not be used because this time she chose dare instead of truth.
A girl coughed lightly and said..." Annika
this time you chose dare. So this task is not going to be easy for you. If you will not complete your task then you have to drink three shots of the drink as a punishment" .
So Your task is that ...." You have to kiss the first man on the lips. Who will enter this room in the next one minute "
This girl literally dropped the bomb on Annika's head. Annika never kissed anyone on the lips other than Shivaay.
And Shivaay was the one who took the initiative to kiss her. She can't think to
kiss any other guy not even in her
Worst dreams. She is in a Big mess now.
When everyone heard the dare, Everyone's eyes landed upon Annika including Aditya kapoor.
