If You Loved Me (completed)

Chapter 13

(eeeengleeshh)

Anika kept walking from side to side , holding one of Shivaay’s English books and repeating the words ,she is able to read , she wasn't learning just because Ragini made fun of her , but also because she feels she want to be better... for Shivaay , for her new family and for herself ..as much as Shivaay and everyone else already makes her feel like the most perfect person in the world , she keeps thinking that she want to be better and yes she admit it , part of it defiantly Ragini !!

Anika squeezed on the book angrily remembering that witch and what she did to Shivaay !!

Anika whispered angrily: I wish if I just grab you from your oily hair and ...

Shivaay turned on the bed and snored faintly and she bit her lower lip and continued reading ..

(eeeengleeesh )

the elevator door opened and Priyanka entered the room and walked slowly in the room and seeing Anika, she approached towards her and said ...

Priyanka whispered : bhai is still sleeping Bhabhi?

Anika: yes ,(eeeengleeshsh)

Priyanka: okay I will do some stuff and you pretend I am not even here , okay?

Anika: do what you want..(eeeengleeesh)

Priyanka nodded yes hard and pulled the garbage basket from beside the door and emptied Shivaay suitcase and all his cloth in it as Anika was just so busy in studying to notice

As Priyanka approached near her and whispered again ..

Priyanka: Bhabhi , where is your cloth ?

Anika: I don't have cloth but what I am wearing , Piku ...(eeengleessh)

Priyanka: great that makes it easier

then she smiled and was about to go but looked at Shivaay who was now sleeping on his back and she smirked and got out of her dress pocket a small scissors and starting cutting the shirt he is wearing .

Priyanka whispered : sorry ,but that is because I love you

and she cut the front of the shirt in half and looked at Anika who was still busy in her book and then looked at Shivaay who was still deeply asleep and said ..

Priyanka : god bless, my deep sleeper (then she looked at Anika and said) and bless my busy Bhabhi

and she pulled the garbage can out and Anika kept going backward and forward ..

Anika whispered : "eeeeng....

(then she looked at Shivaay and noticed his naked chest and his six packs , her eyes widen and continued the word numbly)

Anika: ...lesssh

(then she looked around , and she bit her thumb nail and her face blushed in shyness and she held the sheet to cover him but then she stopped and smiled faintly of a thought that she normally won’t think, but it wasn't really thinking , it was feeling , she felt that she want to be near his heart as closer as she can get ,to feel his beats and warmness .

so she just climbed the bed and closed her eyes and leaned over his naked chest , just over his heart and put his arm around herself , maybe they didn't stay with each other more than days , but they know each other as if they lived a whole life time together, it was a path they had to walk with every step ,he had to suffer this injustice so he can run to the village and meet in this dark day that unfortunate girl that never been more fortunate .

Anika smiled faintly and whispered : if I didn't meet you , I would have been looking for you .

and she smiled and closed her eyes but then ...

Shivaay : I would have waited for the rest of life

Anika opened her eyes and looked at him as he smiled faintly and touched her hair , she tried to raise her head but he pulled her back and said ..

Shivaay: one more minute , please .

and he hugged her tighter and smelled her hair and whispered ..

Shivaay : have I ever told you that you smell like heaven

Anika smiled widely and said : and what heaven smell like , Mr. Singh Oberoi?

Shivaay took a deep breath and said : heaven smell like Anika

Anika smiled widely and hugged him tighter as he smiled widely and closed his eyes ..but then his eyes widen and said ..

Shivaay :Anika ? I was wearing a shirt with no buttons ..so how its open and I am still wearing it ?

Anika raised her head as he sat straight and looked at his shirt and said ..

Shivaay : OH GOD , IT’S Ripped

Anika eyes widen and shook her head and said ..

Anika : I swear I .....

(then she opened her mouth and nodded ..)

Anika: yes , your sister came and ...

before she continue he got out of the bed fast to enter the elevator and Anika ran behind him and the minute he pulled the elevator up and it opened , Priyanka was already inside , pressing on the ground floor ..

Priyanka :NO , NO ..GROUND FLOOR , GROUND FLOOR!!!! (then she smiled to Shivaay and said) good morning bhai

Shivaay pulled her out from the elevator from her dress collar and she put her hands in her dress pockets and raised her head and acted proud as if she in her best situation and Anika held her chuckle seeing that .

Shivaay mimicking her: " I will be the best sister anyone ,ever had bhai", you are the worst , why would you do that to me , you know to buy this shirt I ate bread only for the whole month , but how people like you knows , you wake up and find the croissant and your favorite cake just waiting for you on your table

Anika raised an eyebrow and said : and you didn't find that in your table , rich boy?

Shivaay : oh which side are you on , Mrs. Singh Oberoi ?

Priyanka : he is the one who get mad if croissant is not on the table and it’s always his favorite cake ..I am Cinderella in this house !!

Shivaay raised an eyebrow and Priyanka smiled a shivery smile and said ..

Priyanka: okay okay , just leave me some dignity and come with me to the ground floor

Shivaay looked at her with a raised eyebrow then he took a deep breath and left her and she adjusted her dress as he said ..

Shivaay : okay wait till I change

Anika : I will go get you another thing to wear

Priyanka :okay and I will go down stairs and you come

Shivaay nodded as she entered the elevator but Anika eyes widen and show him the suit case empty and he again pulled Priyanka from her dress collar out and said to Anika

Shivaay: didn't you before said you can catch rats , why couldn't you catch this one ?

Anika swallowed and said : I was studying" eengleesh and ..

Shivaay smiled widely and said : studying what?

Anika smiled and said : English (said in Hindi)

Shivaay shook his head and said : no say it like you were saying it ?

Anika : Engeelish , what the pronunciation is wrong?

Shivaay chuckled and said : yes , but its adorable

Anika smiled widely and he smiled to her back then his smile vanish looking at Priyanka who smiled to him but he shook his head to her and took her to the elevator from her collar then said to Anika

Shivaay : say it one more time ?

Anika smiled widely and said :eeengleesh

Shivaay chuckled and said : god , I love you

And the elevator closed and she chuckled and twirled in happiness , even her flaws he sees adorable , she chuckled again and jumped over the bed and looked at the foil wrap like ring in her finger ..maybe that wasn't just a casual gesture , maybe it was his way to tell her something .

Anika smiled widely and closed her eyes and touched it but then after minutes the elevator door opened and she sat straight and looked then gasped as Shivaay was struggling between piles of new cloth

Shivaay: Anika ? a little help

Anika ran towards him as she pulled him out of the bags that filled the elevator then pulled the bags inside with his help.

Anika smiled widely and said : she throws your cloth so she can buy new one for you and you have to wear them , god she is unbelievable

Shivaay chuckled and said : she is crazy ..that is just mine , if you saw yours you will faint , the ground floor filled with every kind of cloth and jewelry

Anika eyes widen and said : for me ?

Shivaay smiled widely and said : yes , for you

and after they took all the bags he closed the elevator as Anika sat with shocked smile and said ..

Anika : never before someone cared for me , like you and your family ..and I still didn't give you anything for it, but it’s like you are not even waiting for anything from me. ..I don't know if I really deserve all of this

Shivaay smiled and sat on his knees and held her hand ..

Shivaay : it’s called love ..where you do not get to say " if you loved me " and then give your love ..you just give her..(then he shook his head and said) but that doesn't mean we are not waiting for your love , village princess

Anika smiled faintly and the elevator came up again and Priyanka fall inside the room with pile of women cloth and Shivaay ran and pulled her out as she took her breath

Priyanka : the rest , I will get it later

Anika eyes widen seeing the pile of cloth and the boxes of jewelry as Shivaay and Priyanka helped each other in getting them out

Priyanka : I got you everything Bhabhi , you will need nothing else ..so you should change

Anika smiled to her as Shivaay took some from his new cloth and said ..

Shivaay : I will just change in the bathroom , so you can be comfortable

Anika smiled and nodded as he took his cloth to the bathroom but before he close the door he heard ..

Priyanka : what is that ..is that a foil wrap , come on take that off , I bought for you very nice stuff

Anika pulled her hand from Priyanka’s hand fast and said ..

Anika :NOO(then she took her hand back and said) I am sorry but I can’t take this off , it’s ..it’s a promise

Shivaay put his hand over his chest feeling his heart bound fiercely , then closed the door behind him .

after 30 minutes ..

the dinner table ..

Shakti was waiting on the dinner table where breakfast was about to be served , but Shakti ordered them to wait for the rest till they come and Ragini came first and the minute she entered she said ..

Ragini : good morning papa

Shakti nodded to her and signaled for her to take a seat and she was about to sit in the seat beside him but he stopped her and looked at her with wide eyes as she said ..

Ragini: oh I am sorry papa , I forgot its Mrs. Singh Oberoi's chair , mercy on her soul

he nodded faintly as she took the seat in the other side and she couldn't help but notice that he was very annoyed and assumed he is annoyed because Anika, Priyanka and Shivaay still didn't come yet .

but for their surprise Priyanka came running as fast as she can and then said with wide smile .

Priyanka : ladies and gentlemen , may I introduce to you , Mrs. and Mr. Shivaay Singh Oberoi

Shakti looked at the entry surprised as Shivaay entered wearing a black suit and blue shirt and Anika in his hand and she was wearing tight silky red dress and diamond necklace and diamond earrings as her hair on one side , like she usually like to wear it ,her face was flawless and not an eye was able to blink looking at her beauty .

and for everyone surprise Shakti just stood seeing Anika and smiled widely to her ..

Shakti : MRS Singh Oberoi ?

And he pulled the chair beside him for her and Ragini eyes widen in disbelief and couldn't help but to say...

Ragini: but papa , this MRS Singh Oberoi's chair .!!!

Shakti looked at Ragini surprised and said ..

Shakti : True and MRS Singh Oberoi is the one who is going to sit on it , isn't she?

Shivaay couldn't help the wide smile that came to his lips knowing what this gesture means , Shakti really accepted Anika as his daughter and the wife of the future head of the family and he looked at Priyanka who was smiling as wide as he smiled and both took their seats , as Ragini was burning , never in her life felt more jealous , that girl is literally taking everything she dream to have very easily, even after all what she did to win a place in this family.

the maids came to serve the food in covered plates and for everyone surprise Anika stood from the dinner table and ran towards them taking the plates with wide smile ..

Anika : thanks so much , dii

the maid looked at her with wide eyes as Ragini smiled and Anika put the plate on the table one after the other and the other , till she took all the plates from everyone and put it in their place then she returned to her seat with wide smile and noticing the shocked faces her smile lessened

Anika: what ?

Shivaay in low tone : Anika ,they were going to serve us , you shouldn't take the plates from them and serve us yourself

Anika smiled and said : but I really didn't mind serving my family (then she smiled and said) is that so bad ?

Shivaay smiled widely and said : no , not at all. I am sorry

Shakti smiled widely and said : you all may eat (then he said ) thank you Anika

Anika smiled to him and nodded as everyone uncovered his plate and held the knife and fork and started eating , including Shivaay as Anika looked at the knife and fork and then looked at her plate that had 2 croissant and piece of cheese , she looked at the croissant and said to Shivaay ..

Anika : what kind of bread is that ?

Shivaay smiled and said : its croissant ..try it

Anika took one of the croissants and took a big bite then her eyes widen and said

Anika: oh my god that amazing , you try it

and she cut a piece with her hand and shoved it in Shivaay's mouth who held his chuckle as he chew it and Ragini looked at everyone around her but for her surprise everyone was smiling on Anika's Antics instead of feeling embarrassed from her actions ..they love her !!!

Ragini in perfect English :Anika , could you pass me the butter ?

and she signaled with her eyes to the jam and Anika looked at where she is looking and gave her the jar of jam as Ragini faked a shocked face then shook her head in disbelief and Anika looked at her confused

Anika : what ?

Shivaay frowned and looked at the butter angrily that was totally far from where she looked and was about to speak but for his surprise Shakti stopped him with his hand and looked at Anika and said ..

Shakti : you know English ,Anika ?

Anika looked at Shivaay who just smiled to her and nodded faintly and she shook her head to Shakti as he nodded faintly

Ragini in perfect English : oh I am sorry ,Shivaay , I assumed your wife is educated , I should have known from the peasant accent

Shivaay angrily :listen you b...

Shakti interrupted in perfect French : Ragini , can you pass for me the jam back ?

Ragini looked at him confused as he looked at her waiting for an answer then he said ..

Shakti in perfect German : don't tell me you can’t speak , French ?

Ragini eyes widen and swallowed and said :I ....

Shivaay chuckled in disbelief as Shakti continued ..

Shakti in Arabic : I assumed you are educated , how can’t you speak German?

Ragini eyes widen and shook her head and said : I am sorry ..I can’t ..understand

Shakti looked at Anika and smiled to her and spoke in her village accent ..

Shakti : I am sorry , my daughter but Ragini forgot her roots , but I myself promise you that anyone who wants to speak here will speak in our mother language or not speak at all

Anika smiled widely and nodded as he nodded to her in respect and stood ..

Shakti : I am done with the breakfast but you all may continue ..

and he went from there but for his surprise he heard ..

(sir ?)

he looked behind him only to find Shivaay standing behind him with wide smile and said ..

Shivaay : thank you

Shakti eyes widen and said : to me , Shivaay?

Shivaay nodded as Shakti smiled widely and nodded yes hard feeling his heart will stop , and tears will flow on his cheek ,seeing Shivaay smiling to him , he entered his office room while Shivaay returned back to the table where everyone was still sitting and he said .

Shivaay to Ragini : that was really humiliating , don't you think ?

Ragini frowned and got out of the table as the three of them chuckled and Shivaay held the croissant from, Ragini’s plate with his hand ignoring the knife and the fork

Shivaay : well , more croissant for us

Anika chuckled as he stood and said ...

Shivaay : by the way , don't eat too much because ..I will buy dinner for you two , Singh Oberoi ‘s beauties

Anika smiled widely and looked at Priyanka who said ..

Priyanka: okay but It better be an expensive place

Shivaay smiled and said : of course , Piku .., you know I am super rich

and he got out his empty pockets as Anika chuckled while he went away ..

Anika : Piku , there is something I want to tell Shivaay about but I don't know how he will take it

Priyanka chuckled happily and said : OH my god , you are pregnant , I am going be an aunt

Anika eyes widen and said : NO..(then her cheeks blushed and said) no , we still ..(then she sighs and said) we are married from only a week Piku

Priyanka : then what ?

Anika : well , I was thinking that I should complete my studies , and I don't know how and when to tell him

Priyanka : and why will he mind ?

Anika : well ..you know ..my situation is a bit complicated , let’s say many people want to hurt me and also Shivaay have a lot to deal with and this may seem for him not in time but ...I don't know

Priyanka :okay , if you can’t say it , then text it

Anika looked at her confused as Priyanka looked behind Anika, only to find Shivaay signaling to her then standing on side

Priyanka : give me a minute .

and she ran from there as Anika looked at her going as Shivaay held her hand then said ..

Shivaay : Piku , there is something I am planning to tell Anika about but I don't know how she will take it

Priyanka smiled and said : oh god , she is pregnant ?

Shivaay eyes widen and said :NO ..God

Priyanka pouted and said : then when I am going to be aunt ?!!

Shivaay smiled awkwardly to her as she blow in frustration

after an hour

Anika finished eating and started to notice she is sitting by her own for too long, so she got off her chair and rode the elevator and went to 3rd floor and looked in the room for Shivaay but didn't find him

Anika : where is he ?

and she went to the 2nd floor and for her surprise it was about 10 rooms , she looked around then moaned and said ..

Anika : what kind of house is that ?Shivaay ?

then she walked in it for minutes then tried to return back to the elevator but forgot its place .

Anika : Oh god , I am lost in my own house ..god , who need a house that big ..SHIVAAAY , PIKU ?!!

Priyanka came out of her room and looked at her confused as Anika was looking around herself ..

Anika:PIKUU?

Priyanka :BHAAAABHII

Anika flinched then she smiled and said ..

Anika : thank god , I found you ...it’s impossible to find anyone here , I can’t find Shivaay or you or anyone ..and I am calling and calling ..

Priyanka looked at her phone and said: I don't have missed calls

Anika raised an eyebrow and said : I mean calling your name so you can come

Priyanka : ohhh ..that usually don't work Bhabhi , we call each other on phones

Anika : you mean I should call you in the phone and ask you where my lost sock is or can you come and meet me in the kitchen?

Priyanka nodded yes hard and said : even I brought you my phone so you can text bhai about the school thing since you feel shy(then she smiled and said) I took his number when you were sleeping on my shoulders

and she gave her the phone and Anika smiled widely and said ..

Anika : so he don't know you took his number (then she smirked and said) interesting !!! call his number for me

and she sat on the floor and Priyanka sat beside her and dialed the number as Anika took the call and Shivaay answered ..

Shivaay : hello ?

Anika smiled widely and then said in soft tone ..

Anika : hey , Shivaay ..this Sofia , don't you remember me ?

Priyanka held her chuckle and pressed her ear on the phone as Anika held her chuckle as well not hearing Shivaay's answer .

Shivaay :ummm...e... excuse me , but I don't really...
