Shivaay and Anika both got ready and came for breakfast.

Anika-"Good morning..."

Shivaay-"Good morning..."

Both moved to the kitchen. Awkwardly looking at each other..in unison.."main"

Shivaay-"Ok...saath mein banate hain..!" Anika nodded.

Shivaay stood at a place and worked while Anika moved to and fro.

"Anika. Wait. Tum ek jagah khade hoke kyun nahi...kaam kartii." E tried to hide his irritation.

Anika-"Ek jagah kaise khade hokar karoon...masala wahan hain...aur fridge wahan aur..."

Shivaay shook his head in disapproval and shifter his focus to what he was doing.

Anika was putting black pepper into the frypan, when she lost her balance and the mirchi landed on Shivaay's face.

"Phel gaya raita.."

"Ouch.." he shut his eyes..!

Anika knowing not what to do, took the jug of water and splashes the entire water in it on his face.

Shivaay-"Phat the wuck..!" he opened his eyes with anger.

Anika-"Aap theek toh hain..."

 "Oh yes I m fine absolutely fine..."he said sarcastically."Koi aise paani daal taa hain ?"

"Toh ab aap chathe hain ki maine aapko pani ki Balti mein daaloon."

Shivaay got closer, pointing at her. "Just shut up..!!" He scolded galring angrily.

Anika gulped, making puppy eyes.

Shivaay-"You know what you are impossible..!" walked past her to change. "Just impossible!"

The breakfast and ride to office was a silent affair.

In the evening:

Anika entered the cabin to see Shivaay ready to go out.

Anika-"Aap kahin jaa rahe hain?"

Shivaay walked towards her with attitude.."Shlok Singhania se milne. "

Anika-"Aap ko unka no. I mean aapki unse baat..."

Shivaay-"Yes...Iss mein itna surprise hone kaa kya hain..? Anyways ..I don't want to be late...so bye..!" he ran his hand over his hair in his signature style...and strode off.Anika looker at him impressed.

A minute later he came back. "Waise tum ghar jaa rahi hoo do you wanna drop?"

Anika-"Nahin...kaam hai..! Main chali jaaungi."

"Okay."

It was night and Shivaay din't return. Anika sat lost."Ab tak nahi aaye." She thought of calling him."Maine aise kaise call karoon..!" she looked confused. She wasn't really his wife.

"Haan waise mujhe kyaa, apne dost se milne gaye hain...toh generally..!" She spoke to herself.

She prepared dinner for herself and ate. Wondering whether he would have had dinner.

After dinner as Anika sat in front of the tv, the door bell rang. She walked up and foind a smiling Shivaay at the door. He greeted her and apologized for not taking the keys.

Anika was surprised, to herself"yeh Mr.SSO itne data kyun dikha rahe hain..kuch toh pak raha hain.." she waited for him to open up.

Shivaay drank water standing near the dinning table, he saw her staring at him trying to read his face.

Anika finally not able to keep quiet-"Kaisi thii aapki meeting..!"

Shivaay smiled. "It was good, in fact great."

He sat on the sofa flipping tv channels, on purpose.

Anika sat looking at him quizzically.

Shivaay lookee at her.."tumhe kuch kehenaa hain?"

Anika-"Nahi. Maine kya kahoongi. Kuch bhi nahi." She shrugged her shoulders.

"Okay" he focussed his attention to the TV.

Anika just couldn't take the silence anymore..."Aap itna muskuraa kyun rahe hain?"

Shivaay knew it. He mentally smiled. "kyun nahin smile kar sakta?"

"Nahi ..I mean kar sakte hain..lekin yeh waali smile naa...arey...woh...aap jab smile karte hain naa...toh kuch bada hota hain..!"

Shivaay pooked at her interested. "What do you mean..?'

Anika-"Arey jaise Ravan jab smile karta hain naa apne aap...toh samaj lena chaiye kii daal mein kuch kala hainn waise!"

Shivaay-"Wait a minute. Tum mujhe Ravan se compare kar rahi hoo?"

Anika to herself-"ab aap hai kuch waisi personality ke.."

To him.."Nahi nahi maine wo nahi keh rahi thii..dehkiye main samjati hoon.." she sat with her legs over the sofa, folded, like she was going to explain him the theory of relativity.

Shivaay looked at her with disgusted expression..to himself

" sofa pe koi aise beth taa hainn.." 

To her-"Ok cut it main nahi jaana chatha..!And guess what there is good news." he said smirking.

Anika-"Kyaaa?"

Shivaay-"He have a bigger event in hand this time."

Anika-"Sach..kyaa..." with happiness.

Shivaay-"yes...well we have to organise a destination wedding in Udaipur."

Anika-"kyyyaaa...DESTINATION WEDDING...UDAIPUR...!!" she said excitedly.

Shivaay looked on amazed at her excitement.

Anika-"kab?"

Shivaay casually" Next week."

Anika "Achaa okay...ek min kya kaha aapne ..?" she aked shocked.

Shivaay-"Next week?"

Anika-"Kyaa..."in shock."Agle hafte...aap mazaak kar rahe hain kyaa...detination wedding koi ek hafte mein plan karta hain kya?"

Shivaay-"Hum kar lenge..." he said casually with confidence.

Anika fell back on the sofa. " Shaadi...wo bhi ek hafte mein...woh bhi destination wedding. Aap ka dimaag toh theek hain ? Aisa kaise possible hain..Meri samajh mein kuch nahi aa raha."

Shivaay-"Agar tum mujhe kuch bolne dogi tab samajh mein aayega naa."

Anika-"Toh boliyee naa..!"

Shivaay nodded his head-"So Shlok ke bhai Varad ki shaadi originally teen hafton ke baad hone waali thii, par Varad kii fiancée ki naani ki tabiyat kuch theek nahi thii ..hain aur woh chathi hain ki shaadi jaldh ho. So they have preponed to this week's end. But Sojal the bride, wants a detination wedding. And now jab shlok ko pata chala kii I am currently into event management so he requested me too take things in hand. Well wiase Shlok aur usskii wife iss entire wedding ko plan karne waale thee but due to the time constraint and the fact that Shlok's wife is pregnant he wanted someone else to take over but also someone he could trust ....so now you understand how we are on it ?"

Anika blinked registering the entire narration.

After a few minutes. Of silence.

Anika-"Toh hum yahan baatein kya kar rahe hain...kitne kaam hain...catering...décor...invites...rasmein...band...baarat... Mehmaan navzi...ek min hotel? itni kam time ke notice pe kaise book karenge who bhi Udaipur mein." she said in a single breath, tension on her face. She kept her hand over her head.

Shivaay-Anika relax..breathe..!"

Shivaay-"Iss mein Shlok aur uskii wife jo khud ek event manager hain ...humara saath denge...hotel kii baat Shlok handle kar raha hain...aur he has even booked an entire 5 star hotel in Udaipur so you rest assured ...besides... kal tak they will send us the detailed preferences so that we could work on it, alright. Aur haan...now all you need is a good sleep. Tomorrow onwards we will start working on it...o.k.a.y?"

Anika sighs.."lekin itna..."

Shivaay-"Anikaa..!! Relax...tum aisa karo take a good sleep..ab iske baare mein kal baat karenge.

Anika nodded.

Shivaay-Good night", he went to his room.

Anika thought sitting excitedly about the wedding..."Ab tak sirf yeh jawaani hai deewani mein Udaipur ki wedding dehki thii..ab sach mein...wow..." she got up and started dancing in excitement.

Shivaay opened the door of his room at the very time to go to the kitchen to fill his empty jug when he saw her dancing away without music, filled with excitement.

He stared at her wide-eyed a small smile appearing on his face.

To himself-"Yeh sach mein paagal hain..I think baad mein jug bhar loonga!" he saw her dreaming away standing right there. She is crazy. Smiling he went to slee that night.

Anika-"main excitement mein bhool hi gayi...mujhe sona hain...kal jaldi utna padega kitna kaam hain...uff" she ran to her room.
