..............
Annika went to the supermarket to buy the ingredients to make lunch. As she promised Rudra to treat him at lunch as Rudra really loves her hand made food.
But There she met with a person, whom she never wanted to see in her life.
Roshini Thapar ( Annika's ex best friend and Arjun's current fiancee )
Annika wanted to ignore her so she moved forward. However Roshini stopped her, at the entrance. She gave Annika a proud and provoking look
Long time no see..I was not expecting you in Paris Annika. When Arjun told me that he saw you in the mall yesterday that time I could not believe him but look you are really here.
By the way What are you doing here ? Ohh..I see You are here to attend your best friend Mallika's wedding. Right ?
You know Annika Mallika is so lucky.
She is going to marry a Rich & handsome Businessman Advaay Singh Raizada. Who is in the list of 30 top Best Rich people in the world.
I am also going to marry Arjun..he is also handsome and Rich. Not Rich like Advaay singh Raizada but still He is Rich. I really feel lucky to have him in my life
But I am feeling sad for you Annika. I and Mallika both are going to get married to a Rich and handsome Man. While you have no one in your life to support you and nor can you ever get any rich man like Advaay and Arjun. I feel pity for you...tch tch. She taunted Annika and gave her a mocking smile
It is Roshini's nature. From college time she used to bully and manipulate Annika.
In the past Annika was really naive. But at present time she is a strong girl
Annika's face remained calm as she allowed Roshini to be shameless and Arrogant as she wanted
After Roshini stopped talking. Annika revealed a slight smile and shook her head annoyingly.
If you have done with your nonsense talks then Move. Because you are wasting my time.
I will marry a Rich person or not. Isn't something you should worry about. You should focus on applying more perfume on your body, on your make up, your dresses and yes on seducing your so called fiancee, Whom you stole from someone else by warming his bed
Do you really think that you can bind him with you forever and he will not get to know your true colours ? How long do you think Arjun remains blind to you ?
One day when he will get to know your true nature. I am sure he will throw you out of his life.
When Annika gave back to Roshini, she froze...She was not expecting Annika so fiercely. Some years ago Annika was really naive but today she really changed into another girl. She is not the same Annika whom she used to know and bully
In the past Annika never snapped him. But today She literally shut her mouth. Roshini was not expecting it. When She got to know that Annika was in paris. She planned to mock and insult Annika. But today Annika insulted him.
After speaking, Annika watched shocked expressions on Roshini's face. Annika gave her a mocking smile and pushed Roshini out of her way and went out Leaving a furious Roshini standing all alone.
Annika was right Roshini spent too much time scheming against others and caring about her own pride. She spent too much time flirting and seducing Arjun kapoor Otherwise in the last 4 years how could she still be a model of Arjun's company
Four years ago she schemed against Annika and snatched her fiancee Arjun and some modeling endorsement from Annika. At that time Annika was so easy to bully. But now She is looking so confident. Why suddenly so much change in Annika ? She could not understand
After exiting from the supermarket Annika went to the castle and cooked Shivaay's and Rudra favourite dishes. She packed a lunch box for Shivaay and told Butler to send it to Shivaay's company.
Later She and Rudra ate their lunch at home.
.......................
A few hours later Rudra came into Annika's room and told her to come with him urgently. Annika nodded and went with him
When Annika Sat in the car she saw Rudra's mysterious smile. Annika smiled and asked..What is it Rudra ? You are looking so happy ? Where are you taking me ?
" Its a secret bhabhi ".. You made Delicious lunch for me. So I want to give you a good surprise thank you bhabhi for the delicious lunch
After speaking Rudra started the car and took Annika with him in Paris's most expensive brand clothing store in the downtown area.
Rudra led her into VIP Area. After reaching there Annika asked him...Why did you bring me here Rudra ?
Because Someone special told me to bring you here bhabhi. Rudra replied. While Annika looked at him shockingly and asked...What ? Who asked you to bring
me here Rudra ? And Why ?
Before Rudra can reply to her she hears a deep voice from behind her.. " Annika "
When she turned she saw Shivaay there Who was wearing a dark blue suit and looking So handsome. He had been waiting for her for a while
He took poised steps toward her with a bold and seductive smile
Is not tonight my newly wedded wife is going to receive her First award ? So " I intend to make you the centre of attention in tonight's function "
He said and hugged her from behind to draw her attention towards himself
Rudra knowingly retarted himself from there allowing the couple to be affectionate. Annika could feel the
warmth of his body. She blushed and asked him
weren't you busy in your work ?
" No matter how busy I am, I can't forget to care about you "Shivaay whispered into Annika's ear as he gently rubbed her earlobe between his lips.
" Did I tell you that I am the special guest of tonight's function " ? He asked.
Annika was stunned for a moment when
She heard this news before calming down. His company won so many international & national awards so of course he will attend this function
" This will be the first time we will attend a function and share the stage together since we got married. And today you are winning a prestigious award. So this function is very important and special for me. "
The reason I told Rudra to bring you
to this particular store is because they
have a high degree of confidentiality.
Also they have just released a series of couple designs in the entire world. There is only one of each
Annika understood His intention. He wanted them to wear the clothes of the same series and matching jewellery that only they knew about
They could not announce their relationship in front of the world but
He wanted her to know ...No matter what supreme and higher position he was and where he was ..In the end they were
equal and husband & wife. And in this entire world she is the only one who could be by his side
By seeing their clothes people can't tell that they are from the same series but by the logo inside in their clothes everyone can understand that they are from the same brand. Which is one of the most expensive brands in the world.
He considers her equal as him. Everything Which belongs to him naturally belongs to her. Because she is his Soulmate. Who deserves the best in this world
He once again touched her heart. She felt safe and warm. Most importantly, It symbolized they were together
She was surprised that Shivaay's thoughtfulness would go to this extent.
He always makes her feel so special and respected.
He is a precious gem. It is Honor for her that She is his wife and this perfect man only belongs to her
She wanted to say many things to him. But she was so overwhelmed that nothing came out of her mouth..She held back the burnt in her throat as She looked at him with immense respect and love. Shivaay already prepared everything for her
" Follow me "...He said as he grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the trial room
He gave her the dress, was chosen by him and said.. " Go try on it " When Annika looked at the dress She got Stunned by its beauty.
When Annika entered the change room.
She felt like crying. She is a designer and designed so many precious designer dresses but never got a chance to wear any of them. Until now She only designed for others. Today When she is going to wear it. Then the first time a piece of clothing made her feel like crying
This was a wine colored mermaid dress with transparent shoulders. Instead of usual crystals the dress was embellished in bright & elegant pearls
Annika was looking so Gorgeous in this dress, Her body was looking more slender and perfect. On her body it appeared soft and graceful. She looked like a fairy who had come straight out of a painting.
Annika stood speechless in front of the huge mirror. Her heart ponded harder and harder....until Shivaay changed his suit and stepped out behind her
He was wearing a wine colored handmade suit With a tie. Out of his pocket sat a matching handkerchief. He looked poised like a perfect gentleman. Even He looked more calm and confident
Annika looked in the mirror. She grabbed his hand and asked " we looked like the perfect couple. What should we do if someone figures it out ? "
Hearing her say that they looked like a perfect couple His heart warmed up.
However deep down he understood why she asked this question. According to her current status, she had a long way to go before she was on the same level as him
As for Announcing their marriage he could do it anytime. But he had promised Annika that he would give her time to prove herself. He would wait until the day they were on the same level
He gently stroked her hair to give her encouragement. He believed that she had the ability to climb to the top, so he did not want her to spend the rest of her life merely being a pretty face by his side
You do not worry about it dear, Everything will be fine. I told Rudra to escort you to the red carpet and protect you.
" Escort and protect you " When she heard this she turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Her eyes contained a touch of warmth
" You have given me so much. What can I do for you in return ? Everything I have you have..and everything I don't have you
Already have the ability to obtain ". She asked him
He held her waist and answered in a simple manner " All I need is You "
She buried her head into his shoulder as tears flowed from her eyes. Shivaay embraced her, patted her back and peppered few kisses on her hair lovingly
He thought that the girl in his embrace was so soft, She was so easily touched and satisfied. He promised himself to cherish her forever
