If You Loved Me (completed)

Chapter 16

Shivaay laughed happily and hugged her and twirled with her as she chuckled ..

Shivaay : YOU " LOF " ME , ANIKA ..YOU " LOF " ME

Anika chuckled and said :YES , YES ..I LOVE YOU , SHIVAAY...I LOVE YOU

Shivaay continued twirling with her then he stopped when they both felt dizzy , not knowing really if the circular fast movement is what made them dizzy or the look in each other eyes that filled with unspoken love , that can’t just be explained in mere words .

Finally , her heart spoken what her lips couldn't say all this time , finally she accepted to open this heart that suffered so much from her loved ones , with full trust and confidence

which was not a problem he faced with her Although his suffering from his loved ones still wounding his heart , but he believes that even pain from her will be a bless , except that he now thinks that nothing can Anika do , can hurt him as silly as this may sound but he feels safe with her , just by one touch of her fragile body and one look from her kind eyes that always smiled even when they cried.

Shivaay looked at her with faint smile and touched her cheek with the side of his finger as she closed her eyes with his touch , he whispered .

Shivaay: when you fall in love with me ?

Anika whispered : I don't know , maybe I fall for you even before meeting you (then she smiled and put her hand over her heart) it’s not fair to ask me that , I am barely able to stand , my knees are weak and my heart is pounding , feel it ?

And she took his hand and put his fingers on her neck to feel her pulse and he looked at her eyes and nodded .

Shivaay: I feel it , it matches mine

Then he caressed her neck with his finger and she closed her eyes and slowly sat on the floor as he slowly sat with her while the side of his finger still tickling her neck and the soft touch tickling all his senses

Anika smiled faintly and looked the other way and closed her eyes in shyness , feeling a pleasurable fear in her heart , his touch is very kind ..It always has been but it never been kinder before .

he moved with his kind touch to the back of her neck and she chuckled faintly feeling ticklish as he smiled and planted a kiss on her shoulder as his hand slowly slide the zipper handle of her dress and her body tensioned and her smile vanished but she kept her eyes closed ..as he raised his eyes and that when he noticed the dark bruises covered her back that hide behind the fabric of her dress and away from every one eyes

Anika whispered : I am sorry

A tear fall out of his eye with the word, that she didn't see but felt on her skin as he kissed her wound kindly and she held her breath feeling the touch of his lips on her skin .

if it possible she feels he is healing her , his touch and kisses the filled with kindness that she craved all her life, she feels healed from all her wounds , even the one in her heart

She closed her eyes and leaned on her back and looked at him as he smiled faintly looking at her hair that covered the floor like an endless night of silk thread and he leaned and planted a kiss over her lips , then caressed her black hair and whispered ..

Shivaay: I promise you no one will be loved in this world as much as I love you .

Anika closed her eyes and smiled faintly and touched his hair , then his cheek as he closed his eyes and his chest heaved with her touch , he feels he is melting under her touch and he whispered

Shivaay: I love you ..I want to be closer to you

Anika opened her eyes and her face blushed and swallowed as he unbuttoned his shirt slowly ,looking at her eyes that skipped his in shyness , she felt her body tension and shiver , she feared the closeness like any other girl In her first time , but she love him too ..She want to be closer she looked at his blue eyes that promised her with a gentle union and smiled faintly

Anika whispered : you are me and I am you , I don't want any difference between us.

He smiled widely as her words warmed his heart and his white silky shirt slide off his body and he pressed his body to hers then wrapped his arms around her and rolled with her over the newspaper that covered the floor as her blue chiffon dress slipped away and they meld to each other, becoming one

Hours , minutes or years ..Time became meaning less to them , they are in their own world , where there is no time or night and day ..Only her as she was between his arms and him as he held her like there is no tomorrow .

Shivaay kissed her head as she leaned her head on his chest then chuckled faintly as Shivaay smiled widely and said ..

Shivaay : what is so funny?

Anika : I was just thinking about us ..(then she looked at him with wide smile and said) we got married before learning each other names then we faced problems that married couple don't face even after years of marriage , then we got engaged with foil wrapping paper, then I got to meet your family , then you proposed ,then I confessed my love

Shivaay chuckled as she added ..

Anika : then we left the mansion and the fancy bed and had our first night together as man and wife here on the floor (then she chuckled faintly and said) and now we have to decide the day of our wedding

Shivaay : our order is pretty strange ha?

Anika smiled and said : I wouldn't change a thing , I got to be your wife first, then walk each step every one walked alone , with my hand in yours

Shivaay smiled and kissed her lips , then she leaned back in his arms

Shivaay: I am starving , but I don't want to go the mansion or leave you to buy food

Anika smiled and said :don't worry , husband .. I have something to eat in my bag

And she got up and walked two steps away from him only to hear a wolf whistle, she blushed and turned to look at him , only to find that he is admiring her body.

So she blushed and pulled his White shirt and wore it to cover herself away from his eyes and said angrily ..

Anika: that was really mean , I am bringing you food ,Mr. Singh Oberoi

Shivaay chuckled and said: wearing my shirt ..Hmm .that brings back memories , village princess

Anika chuckled shyly and throw in his arms a bag of crisps and closed back her bag then sat beside him and tried to reach to it but he said ..

Shivaay: no , no ..(Then he smiled and said) according to your village tradition a husband get to feed his wife

Anika raised an eyebrow and said: you are not a village boy and there is no tradition like that

Shivaay raised an eyebrow and said : really ? And there was a tradition where you get to feed my mother ?

Anika swallowed and said : you ...you know there wasn't ?

Shivaay shook his head and said: I thought you are just trying to win her (then he chuckled ) now I am sure

Anika bit her lower lip as Shivaay kissed her blushed cheek and said ..

Shivaay: god bless my smart girl

Anika smiled and said : you are not angry with me ?

Shivaay shook his head and put the crisp in her mouth and then said ..

Shivaay : and to prove that to you

And he put the bag of crisps away and made her lean on the floor and kissed her lips and she chuckled

Anika :Again?

Shivaay nodded and said : and again , and again ..(Then he kissed her nose) and again (then he kissed her eyes lids ) and again

Anika chuckled but his phone started ringing and Shivaay smile vanished and moaned in frustration as he pulled the phone and looked at the number..

Shivaay: AND AGAIN

Anika smiled and said : Priyanka again?

Shivaay: she won’t stop till we return back to the mansion

Anika : answer her then , maybe it’s something important

Shivaay frowned and said: nothing is not important for Piku ..She may call and say its urgent then we find its dinner time , don't you know my sister ?

Anika : what if papa is sick or ..

Shivaay: if this happened then my Nanny will call , I gave her my number

Anika looked at the phone that kept ringing and said ..

Anika : but I am worried Shivaay

Shivaay : fine but if it’s not important then you owe me big , imagine what I can ask ...just imagine

Anika chuckled as he answered the phone ...

Shivaay: yes Piku ......I can’t come I am busy ...it’s not important busy in what , just busy...why I have to come ,..What surprise ?...what you mean you can’t tell me ...?..FINE ..I AM COMING .

And he ended the call and looked at Anika who was worried sick ..

Anika : what happened ?

Shivaay: get dressed Mrs. Singh Oberoi ..We have to go , because according to Piku , some surprise is waiting for me ..I guess it’s someone , she seemed really excited .

Anika eyes widen as he shook his head and said ..

Shivaay : no , don't go with your imagination that far ..You are my one and only

Anika : Shivaay? If that person may be a girl that was in your life , you can tell me ..I won’t be angry

Shivaay : well , my ex-girlfriend before Ragini might ...

Anika frowned and throw the newspaper on him as he covered his face and chuckled ..And she ran and jumped over his back and both fall on the pile of news paper

After two hour ..

Anika and Shivaay reached the mansion and for their surprise Priyanka was waiting on the gate and Shivaay and Anika rushed to her thinking there must be really something important .

Shivaay : what is wrong Piku? What is so important ?

Priyanka smiled widely and said : Shivaay bhai , someone you missed so much , is waiting to see you

Anika swallowed and looked at Shivaay with wide eyes and he held her hand and said ..

Shivaay : it’s okay ..Just hold my hand

Anika entered with him feeling her head numb and her blood boils more than ever , what is that strange feeling ? Then she noticed she felt it a lot before when it comes to him , it must be jealousy and she has so much of it

Priyanka ran and stood in front of the living room and screamed ..

Priyanka: SURPRISE

Shivaay : where is that person ?

Priyanka looked around her and said ..

Priyanka : I have no idea .

Shivaay looked at her in disbelief and said: what? ..What the hell Priyanka ?

(BHAI ..LOOK WHO CAME WHEN HE KNEW YOU ARE BACK !!!)

Shivaay didn't look behind him where the voice came from , and looked at Priyanka angrily who smiled a shivery smile as Anika looked with relief at the male sound owner and he was a young man with long hair and tight jeans ,half open shirt .and was wearing about 6 silver necklaces and an ear ring , he was the young man in the portrait .

Anika looked at him with confused smile as he ran towards Shivaay and hugged him so tight as Shivaay was still frowning and annoyed ..And Anika went towards Priyanka and whispered ..

Anika : who is that ?

Priyanka : Omkara Tej Singh Oberoi ..Our cousin , he came from London just for Shivaay bhai

Anika smile vanished and said : he is Veer's brother (then she shook her head and said) oh god , that is just terrible ..He must be like him then

Priyanka : no , he is nothing like Veer . (Then She whispered in low tone )in fact not even blood, he is adopted , uncle Tej and aunty mercy on her soul adopted him for Veer’s birthday ..Because he wanted a brother and they couldn't have children after Veer , but then Veer after a year or two said he doesn’t want him anymore , got bored of him ..So my father is the one who took care of him and now, we all are a family

Anika eyes widen and said : don't want him ? He is a human , his brother(then she chuckled and said) but why I am surprised , the same was about to happen with me

Shivaay broke the hug and pushed Omkara away and looked the other way as Omkara closed his eyes and said ..

Omkara :no bhai , please ..I am sorry I regret what I did so much ..But I did it only because I loved you and I was shocked ..

Shivaay: why everyone tells me he hurt me because he loves me ..I don't get it , Anika loves me so she should kick me now , or what ?

Omkara eyes widen and pulled Priyanka’s arm and whispered ..

Omkara: is this our Bhabhi ?

Priyanka nodded hard as Omkara nodded and he whispered ..

Omkara : should we kidnap her so he can forgive us or what ?

Priyanka smirked and said : I already did kidnap her and he already forgive me

..its your problem buddy

Omkara closed one eye and nodded then he smiled and bent and kissed Anika's hand .

Omkara : madam , I am Omkara ..Your best friend and annoying brother .

Anika chuckled and bent her head as well then looked at Shivaay who was frowning .

Omkara : come on bhai ..You forgave Piku ..But you didn't forgive me ?!!How come ? I believed you even before her by the way

Anika : oh god , don't tell me five years ago you also said bad words to Shivaay

Omkara smiled a shivery smile and said ..

Omkara : no , no I will never do that to bhai

Shivaay smiled and said : of course not ..You are my polite little brother

Omkara swallowed and said : I feel sarcasm in that

Shivaay angrily : OFCOURSE , I AM BEING SARCASTIC ...YOU PUNCHED ME..YOU BELIEVED THE SNAKE RAGINI AND BEAT ME FOR HER, I NEVER HURT YOU OR RAISED A FINGER ON YOU BUT YOU PUNCHED ME

Omkara : okay , beat me back , I deserve it ..Beat me back

Shivaay shook his head and looked the other way as Omkara kept coming in front of him whenever he turn .

Omkara : beat me ..Beat me ..Beat me ..Beat me

Shivaay: stop it

Omkara : you want to do it ..Beat me or are you scared I will beat you back ?

And for their surprise Shivaay punch him in the chin and Anika and Priyanka gasped as Omkara held his chin for a minute then smiled ..

Omkara : feeling better ?

Shivaay shook his head and said : NO

Then he punched him again and both Priyanka and Anika gasped as he added ..

Shivaay : YOU i***t , HOW YOU THINK I CAN DO THAT .

Omkara closed his eyes hard and said ..

Omkara : I am sorry bhai , I am really sorry ...oh god that is going to bruise(then he smiled and said) so we are okay now?

Shivaay looked at him with a frown then for Anika's surprise he chuckled and opened his arms to him and Omkara hugged him as Anika pulled Priyanka and said ..

Anika : they beat each other then hug ?!!! What is that ?

Priyanka shook her head and said : they are crazy , everyone is ..I am the only one normal here

Anika looked at her with raised eye brow and shook her head in disbelief

Shivaay : so everyone have to go to his room now, because Anika is tired .

Anika : I am not tired

Shivaay eyes widen to her as she nodded to him then held her head and said ..

Anika : oh Shivaay , I think I am tired

Shivaay: yes , you are tired

Omkara : so you actually felt tired when he told you , you are tired (then he smiled and said) okay I got it

And he winked to Shivaay who widen his eyes to him and Anika eyes widen to Shivaay and Priyanka said ..

Priyanka : what ? What you get ?

Omkara pulled her hand and said : come , come ..I will show you the wedding dress I bought for Bhabhi , it's the same design you sent me in mail

Anika : for me ? I want to see it too

And she ran towards them but Shivaay held her from her waist and walked with her towards the elevator while she tried to reach for them .

They both went to the 3rd floor and for their surprise Nanny and Ragini was in the third floor , in their room and seemed as if they are looking for something because they were bending on the floor

Shivaay : Nanny ?

Both Nanny and Ragini flinched as Shivaay looked at them with wide eyes ..

Shivaay : where you looking for something ?

Nanny swallowed and said : Ragini ..Lost ..umm ..An earring ..When she was in your room

Shivaay looked at Ragini with disgust and said ..

Shivaay : no we found none and please Nanny I don't want her to be in my room

Anika looked at them not fully convinced , they seemed nervous as if they doing some mistake , she don't trust either of them and she looked at Shivaay who trusted Nanny words as if they are words from sacred book , even when she is very nervous like that , he don't doubt her even for a second , after all she is his mother

Anika looked at Nanny and Ragini with disbelief and eyes filled with doubt as they didn't notice from their fear and nodded to them and enter back to the elevator .

Anika : Shivaay ?

Shivaay smiled and pushed her to bed and she chuckled..

Anika : no wait (then she smiled and said ) I need to see the wedding dress first

Shivaay sighed as she pouted and said ..

Anika : please , Shivaay , please ..Just take a bath till I come

Shivaay rolled his eyes and said : fine go see the dress

Anika chuckled and jumped in his arms and kissed his cheek as he chuckled and went to the bathroom as she ran towards the elevator but then as she in front of the elevator she remembered ..

Anika with wide eyes: the bottle !!! Oh god , they were looking at the bottle !!!!

And she ran towards the bathroom to tell Shivaay about this possibility but then she heard the shower sound plus she thought that Shivaay might get angry on her for doubting his Nanny , she never before tried to see what he will do if she said wrong on one of his loved ones

Anika : god no , what I should do now

(Then her eyes widen and said ..)

Anika : papa !!

And she pulled her bag and ran to the elevator and pressed G then stood frozen seeing Ragini and Nanny looking everywhere , under tables and chairs ...are they looking for the bottle ?

Anika: Nanny ?

Nanny and Ragini looked at her as she said ..

Anika : I found an earring and put it in the bathroom , it might be it

Nanny :oh ...okay

Anika nodded as Ragini rolled her eyes and both kept looking even after Anika said she found an earring ..Then they are not looking for earring. It must be the bottle , must be .

Anika went to the office room and knocked then opened the door and she saw Shakti and Omkara sitting with wide smiles on their lips that vanished seeing her

Anika with shivering hand got out the bottle and clutched on it .

Anika : papa ...I need to talk to you on private.

Omkara smiled an awkward smile and nodded to Shakti , who nodded to him back but before he goes he noticed the bottle in her hand and his eyes widen as he went out the room .

Anika showed Shakti the bottle and said ..

Anika : papa ..I found this bottle in my room , I don't understand what is it , but Ragini and Nanny sneakily entered our room looking for something but I don't believe them , I ...

Shakti : Anika , Nanny is a family here , she raised Priyanka and Shivaay ..You should be very careful talking about her

Anika closed her eyes and nodded ..

Anika : I am sorry papa ..I just doubt why this bottle is so important to them and I thought ...

Shakti shook his head as Anika swallowed and said ..

Anika : sorry I wasted your time papa

and she got out of the office room ,she don't understand how she just rushed with no information to talk to Shakti as if he is her friend , but what she could have done , she feels her head burning from the doubt , yet she is not sure from what she doubting .

But for her surprise Omkara pulled her hand and her eyes widen as he took her a side ..

Omkara : Bhabhi ?I know you don't know me enough to trust me , but from where you got this bottle

Anika : why ? (And she showed him the bottle) you know it

Omkara looked at the bottle and said

Omkara : I am not sure but it looks like a bottle of an illegal drug someone asked me to buy for him once (then he shook his head ) but I refused , I don't know how you got it ..See the bottle is just the same , but it’s just a doubt

Anika eyes widen and said : and who asked you to buy it ? Ragini?

Omkara : my brother , Veer ..But it cannot be it ..Please Bhabhi , don't tell that to anyone and throw this bottle away , I don't want any trouble in the family anymore

Anika eyes widen in disbelief and said ..

Anika : Veer ? (Then she shook her head and said) Omkara what is this drug do ?

Omkara : I don't know , it cause hallucination or something like that

Anika looked at the bottle and said : Shivaay didn't rape Ragini and came back confused and said he don't remember how this happened to him ..(Then her eyes widen and said) he was drugged , he must was drugged and this is drug ..That is why Nanny and Ragini where looking at it but why Nanny?

Omkara : or maybe she is using it and don't want someone to know she is taking drugs or maybe it’s not a drug at all and it’s just some medicine she take

Anika felt numb of a thought that came to her mind ..

Anika : only one way to find out what this drug exactly do

And she opened the empty bottle and the strong smell in it made her assume there is a trace of the drug , she hit the opening of the bottle on her palm, till the last drops fall on her hand and for Omkara surprise she licked them

Omkara : OH GOD , are you crazy ?

Anika : if I suffered the same of what Shivaay suffered after he got awaken then I can prove he was drugged and if it’s just drugs then it will go away soon and hopefully Ragini with it and if it was just medicine then nothing will happened ..But I feel it has something to do with Shivaay

Omkara : oh god , it’s your health what are you gambling here ..Okay let’s wait for 10 minutes or so and see if it will work

after 20 minutes ..

Anika shook her head and said : I feel nothing

Omkara : drugs don't take that long , thank god it’s not drugs ..Then it’s just a harmless medicine , I was mistaken

Anika : or some drug they gave to Shivaay

Omkara : that seems not possible Bhabhi

Anika nodded and said : I guess ..I guess you are right ..Good night Omkara

he smiled and nodded as she went to the elevator and put the bottle back in her bag , feeling a bit disappointed that nothing happened to her , she don't care really of anything but proving that Shivaay is innocent and she felt she was just so close

She reached to their room and smiled seeing Shivaay wearing a silky pajama like movies

Anika : you are too much

Shivaay teasingly : can’t I look good for my wife ?

Anika chuckled and was about to walk towards him but felt her legs pinned to the floor and her head a bit numb

Her eyes widen and looked at Shivaay who was coming towards her with wide smile ..

Shivaay : what about the dress ?

Anika looked around and everything was fading from around her and seemed blurry

Anika faintly : Shivaay ? I ..

And then nothing .......
