Chapter 43: [ 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐒𝐈𝐃𝐄 ]

Shivaay covered Annika with quilt.

He dropped a soft kiss on her forehead and thought.

"We have long days ahead of us Annika "

After that he closed the door and entered his room. Before going on bed he took a shower. He was continuously thinking about her. His mind was full with her thoughts.

[ SHIVAAY'S POV ]

Today after returning from my main

Office I directly drove towards my own home. I was checking the financial data of my companies. But I was not able to concentrate on my work. Whenever I

tried to concentrate on my work her pretty face is came infront of me. She affected me badly. I was continuously thinking about her

Last week she avoided me totally.

She intentionally wanted to keep distance from me. I know that she has her reasons that's why she behaves like this with me.

Her eyes says all and I can read them.

It doesn't mean that I can't find about her insecurities and weird behaviour towards me. Of course I can. But I don't want to do it without her will

I don't want to interfere in her personal space. I will be Happy if she will tell me herself about her past life, her insecurities and reasons that why she doesn't want to accept me. I want to win her heart and believe. Without her own will I didn't want to enter in her life.That's why I am ready to wait for her till the enternity. I am giving her time. May be one day she will come to me and herself shares her worries with me. I really wish that day will come soon.

I respect her completely and that's why I will respect her decision too.

I don't know why But today I was feeling uneasy. I was worried for her. My heart was saying that may be something is not right. I tried hard to concentrate on my work but I couldn't. Everytime her face came infront of me. That's why in the end I decided to call her but she didn't pick my phone. Which made me worried more.

Then I called my assistant and ordered her to trace the location of Annika. After few minutes he informed me that she in still in company. I immediately checked the monitoring system of my company and

I was shocked to see her. She was stuck in the printing room. The room was dark. I knew well that she has fear of darkness. On seeing her in that condition. My heart clenched. I can't imagine her in that condition. I can't see her in pain. It feels me like a hell. I was so worried for her. That's why I immediately left for my company to save her. Why this girl is so careless. That time I was so mad upon her. I couldn't understand that what the hell she was doing in the company at the late night and with whom permission she decided to work overtime. Why can't she take of herself. Is this necessary for her to always create trouble for herself. This girl is totally mad.

Each passing second was so difficult for me. I wanted to reach there as soon as possible. Luckily I reached there on time and saved her. Otherwise I don't know what happens. I can't afford to lose her.

Now I will take care of her. She is very important for me. If something happens to her I can't handle the consequences.

Finally it's over and she in now fine.

Pov ends.

From the first moment when he saw her.

He wanted her as his own. If he want he can marry her right now and make her his. But he didn't want to disrespect her

and her feelings. That's why he decided to take it slow to protect her Feelings.

Annika on the other hand never been interested in him and was always setting boundaries between them. She didn't want to be with him. Does it mean that he really

Wasn't good enough for her ? Or she has her own reasons behind her ideologies.

Shivaay is also not ready to give in.

He wants to win her and her heart with his love. He wants her all with her will. He doesn't want to force her. He clearly know that the best approach was to take it slow, and always followed this rule. He didn't want to rush. But his attraction and feelings for this girl has no sense.

The first time he laid his eyes on her. He had the crazy feeling that he had been brought back to life. Even though they never met before it felt like that she was someone whom he knew from many births. She is his only one.

The moment when he first time took her in his arms he felt complete. He felt that she is the only one in this whole universe who belongs in his arms. As If she had been the one thing that had been missing in before in his world.

He wanted her, all of her, for his own. And didn't want to wait one second more. He couldn't afford to loose her so waiting was

his only option. And he will wait her till the eternity.

Next morning :

Annika had thought at first that she would not able to sleep on an unfamiliar bed. But

She had slept so well last night without any uneasiness. She felt safe. This house gave her the feeling of her own home. Like she belongs here. It's strange but after returning in mumbai from dehradun first time she overslept today.

When she was ready to got down from the bed. She heard a knock at the door.

When she looked up. She found Mrs. Tang at the door side.

Mrs. Tang wished her Good morning.

And asked her that how is she feeling now ? Annika smiled and told her that now she is feeling nice.

After that Mrs. Tang helped her in getting shower and changing her clothes. As her wounds are still fresh. After sometime her mind went towards Shivaay and she thought right now it's quite late. Now surely he had left for office. But still

She asked from Mrs. Tang about him.

Mrs. Tang has Mr. Oberoi gone to work

Yet ?

Not yet.

But How can it possible ? I mean he is

Very punctual. So why has he not left

Yet ?

I don't know Young lady. He is very busy. His phone hasn't stop ringing since he got up and came downstairs. Infact his Assistant Also came here in hurry to receive him. He already asked him that when would he heading for his office.

But Mr.Oberoi didn't speak anything and has not left yet. He has been at down stairs at all the time. I don't know what is he waiting for ? He never missed his office

Untill now and nor he got late ever. But today he was, behaving indifferently

Annika also couldn't understand that why he is not going to his office. It's quite late.

He is a punctual and a disciplined man who values his time. So today what happened to him that he has not left yet.

She wondered

Mrs. Tang told Annika to come downstairs for Breakfast. Annika, was intentionally avoiding Shivaay from last week. She didn't want to go infront of him. It made her nervous. But now she is in his house. So it's impossible for her to avoid him

She understood that she couldn't avoid him now.  That's why she decided to go downstairs. She took several deep breaths, adjusted her mindset, put an impenetrable mask and went downstairs with Mrs. Tang

With calm and natural expressions.

When she got there, she saw Shivaay who was leisurely sitting at the Sofa in the living room with calm expressions. His eyes were close. His Assistant was standing near him silently, he was holding a stack of documents in his hands. Assistant was looking very anxious but he didn't dare to ask Shivaay anything, and didn't urge him to hurry. There was a pin drop silence in the room.

She was getting impatient to know the reason that why he is not going office today. So Finally she asked to Shivaay.

Huh, It's getting very late then why has you not left for your work yet  ?

When Shivaay heard her sweet voice, he opened his eyes and looked her. His expressions were soft. His eyes like yarn, warmly and gently twining around her.

Then he told her.

I was waiting for you.

His Answer made Annika speechless. She was suddenly unable to speak properly with him. He means He was waiting for her that's why he has not left yet for his office

He doesn't want to go to the office without meeting her. And at the same He didn't want to disturb her sleep. That's why he chose to wait for her. She was stunned.

No doubt his every act deeply affects her directly at her soft spot. Why he is so genuine and nice towards her  ?

While she was standing there silently with a foolish look at her face. Shivaay stood up from his place and walked

towards her

She wanted to retreat. But the man's eyes had some intangible power. Which held her at place and she couldn't move from there. With in a moment he was already infront of her. He caressed her head with his hand lovingly and said.

You were already avoiding me from

Last week. If today I would not wait for you then again I will be unable to see you for the whole day. That's why I decided to wait for you

She was still lifeless and  staring him without blinking her eyes.

Now you are here and I saw you then now I am going for work.

He said, leaned forward and kissed her forehead with utmost love and care.

Now Annika is totally dead.

Behind them. Mrs. Tang was shocked. She never seen Shivaay so gentle and soft towards anyone even not his own family until now. No doubt this girl held a most important place in his heart.

Other side His Assistant joey startled as if he has blinded. Then looked away with flushed face. He was astonished. He thought Is he dreaming or what  ?

Is this man infront of him really his Almighty Boss who always gives cold looks to everyone and never treat anyone softly. If he will tell anyone outside about it. They  will all call him insane

It was too inhuman. He almost go crazy after seeing his Boss affectionate behaviour towards this pretty girl.

It means now his Boss got his girl and He got Real Lady Boss.

When Shivaay left from there and came outside with his assistant. He again wore his cold expressions. No one can say that he is the same man whom they saw few seconds before infront of Annika. He is the totally different person now. A Stinking rich, Powerful and a Merciless Businessman. He wore his sunglasses, sat in his Black Maybach and drove towards his Company

Long after He had left. Annika still remained rooted at the same spot. Her cheeks are red and her fingers unconsciously touched her forehead.

Where he had kissed her. It was still burning with sensation.

At this moment, finally she understood that no matter how much she will try to keep herself away from him. She really couldn't win against him

When Mrs. Tang saw Annika. She was very happy. She thought.. Annika is a nice young lady and perfect for Mr. Oberoi.

It would be a Happy thing if they both become a couple. She couldn't help developing a good feelings towards Annika

A Beautiful girl with good manners would be welcomed anywhere. What was unexpected was that Annika was mindful for her actions. She never tried to cross the line with Mr. Oberoi

Mrs. Tang can clearly see that Mr. Oberoi obvious has Strong feelings for this girl.

He himself took care of her at the night.

He ordered the Chef to make the Breakfast, lunch and dinner according to her taste. He ordered the maid to redecorated her room according to her taste even he personally choose the clothes, curtains and bedsheets for her

He Specially told Mrs. Tang to take care of Annika in his absence. After Annika moved into this house, Mr. Oberoi become animated. He looked so happy. He really adores her from the bottom of his heart.  Mrs. Tang overjoyed to see all this.

She silently prays to god for the togetherness of this couple. They look perfect with each other

Two chefs preparing Breakfast for Annika in the kitchen on the first floor. Mrs. Tang walks towards Annika and respectfully said.. "  Young lady ! Hurry, please have your Breakfast

As she saying this. She helped Annika to sit at the chair of dining table and put breakfast in front of her.

" Thank you Mrs. Tang. You are really very sweet. Annika said and gave Mrs. Tang a

Sweet smile and then start having her breakfast

Breakfast was delecious. It was spicy Annika was so fond of spicy food. No matter how spicy the food was she could eat them without blinking an eye. That's the main reason today the chef prepared the spicy breakfast for her

Annika told Mrs. Tang that Breakfast is delicious and she loved Spicy food. All dishes are her favourite. Then

Mrs. Tang told her that she knows it.

Mr. Oberoi specially ordered the chef

to prepare the spicy breakfast for you

After consulting from the doctor if it didn't harmful for your health. As you are still taking medecines

Annika again got stunned with this new

Information It means Shivaay very well knows about her likes and dislikes.

He knows her taste But How  ?

Bcoz she never told him about her.

But it seems like he knows everything related to her.

Most importantly everyone in this house is treating her like a Queen. No one in her entire life treated her like this ever. No one pamper her. She is so overwhelmed.

Shivaay has done so much for her till now

He always make her feel special by his actions. He always takes care of her and didn't expect anything in return.

Annika also wants to do something for him. She also wanted to thank him for

Everything. That's why she decided that tonight when he will come from his work. Then she will say her thanks from the bottom of her heart
