Breaking The Wall Of His Insecurities ✔️

part : 12

"Thank you soo much Shivaay. Let's order something first then we will talk about our favourite things ", she said after a minute. She looked towards Shivaay who had cold expressions again. No one can say that he was about to cry a few minutes ago. He is really good at hiding emotions.. thought Anika

"So what is your favourite food Item? ", Asked Shivaay

"Aloo Puri", said Anika without wasting time. Shivaay chuckled hearing her fast reply

"And yours?", Asked Anika. Shivaay waited for a few seconds before replying

"Stewed vegetable Ratatouille with baked asparagus in pesto sauce in vegan style", he said without taking a breath .. Anika was confused as she never heard of any dish like this. Unable to control herself she started laughing

"Haha Shivaay what was that? Haha I just Understood 2 words that are sweet vegetables", laughed Anika

"Aare it's not sweet it's stewed... Stewed", he corrected her but Anika rolled her eyes

"Leave it I can't understand this", said Anika and picked the menu card

"Aloo Puri is not here but your so-called dish is here... Anyways then order cholle bhature from my side", said Anika and gave him the menu card back

"Seriously? In the night? ", He asked as no one asks for cholle bhature at night but this girl is asking for it

"Order whatever you want to then. Why you ask me? ", Said Anika angrily and looked aside

"Baggadbilla", whispered Anika which was inaudible for him. Shivaay understood that she is angry so he ordered choole bhature for her when the waiter asked for their order.

There was an awkward silence for a few minutes as Anika behaved like his girlfriend in front of him which she realised when they were silent. She shrugged her thought of asking sorry and initiated a conversation

" So what are your habits? I mean your daily routine", Asked Anika

"I want coffee in the morning after waking up. Then I spend most of the time in the office. After coming back I spend my time with Omru and Priyanka that's it", he said to which Anika nodded as Omru told her already that he is a workaholic. Shivaay waited for her routine but when she was quiet he asked

"What about you?", He asked

"I need tea every morning then after some time I wake Sahil, Daksh Gauri too if she is here and then I prepare breakfast for them. After that, I check if there is an interview or not. If not then I open thela", she said and looked aside as most of the time people fire her from her job or people do take interviews but select their loved ones for jobs without caring for others.

Working is thela is not easy as people shout at you for no reason. They call you like a servant. They insult you too when they don't like the taste. You fall mentally and physically as well but you need to stay strong for family needs

"Ohh but I don't think it is necessary now. And regarding loved ones then even I hate that. I am always professional. I liked your simple designs that are the reason that I am hiring you", he cleared and Anika passed a smile towards him. She was controlling her emotions as she don't know why she is falling weak in front of him? Why she is getting emotional?

"So anything else? Like your dream?", Asked Shivaay from Anika who was looking towards something particular. He looked in the direction and saw one couple with their children playing and laughing

"This used to be my dream as well Anika but some dreams remain incomplete forever", he said looking at that Happy family. Like Anika even though he wished to be happy, his family took care of him, playing with him, laughing with him but rather than that his parents fought in front of him which pained him to no end. His wounds and those words of his parents are still fresh

"Same Shivaay I used to love that care papa used to give me but ma...she... I thought someday I will get parents if not real then inlaws but... Maybe it is not in my destiny", she said. She was lost in that family that she was going to reveal everything about her past but realisation struck her and she stopped herself in middle. She can't tell him anything otherwise what he will think about her? Her parents? And especially her mother

"I can't give you that too as I wished the same. I still hate my father for everything he did with my mother. My mother used to teach me don't trouble any girl, don't cheat her, don't let her cry and many more... I used to watch her helpless... I wish I was little but mature at that time", he said in hope that he was mature at 8 years. Anika smiled as she should not let him feel that he can't give her anything. Loyalty is what she wants from her partner and she knows he will be loyal forever because of his mother

"It's ok Shivaay you were a child and now it's present. I am happy to get Omru as my devars too. Also badi maa bade papa, dadi everyone are enough for me. And Shivaay I just want loyalty nothing else. We can spend our life together if not will love then with trust we can hana?", Asked Anika to which he nodded. He is happy that at least she is understanding. He knows even if she has past but he will not repeat the same mistake as his father did. He will never cheat her. Even if he doesn't consider her as his wife but he will make sure to make her feel safe with him

"Yes sure ", he replied

"Let's talk about something funny as the past will hurt us. You know your eyes are soo much beautiful. I can stare at these eyes forever. Do you know I have strange habits too?", Said Anika. Shivaay smiled because she appreciated his eye colour. He looked aside as she started staring at him which was awkward for him. He doesn't know why he felt his cheeks burning

"Answer", asked Anika. Shivaay looked towards her who was still staring at him. He took a long breath and composed himself

"Thank you for appreciating my eye colour. Regarding your habits then how I will know?", He asked. Anika looked here and there in embarrassment

"Ok, I will tell as you have to bear me daily. I make dosa na toh I always add ....", She stopped in the middle when the waiter came with a dish

"We will talk about this later have it now", he said. Anika made faces seeing his so-called favourite dish which was looking like someone served grass

"Why are you making faces? ", Asked Shivaay when he noticed her facial expressions

"Nothing....vo... This dish... It's looking like someone served grass ", whispered Anika and looked aside in fear that he will shout at her but he smiled making her confused

"No one named this dish as grass", he giggled. Anika looked at him confused again

"Wahh baggadbilla hansta bhi hai (wahh baggadbilla laugh too)", whispered Anika to herself which he heard

"What baggadbilla? Me... Why?", He asked. Anika widened her eyes as till now they were talking normally but now he was ready to fight

"Because you were laughing and I never saw you laughing. There is no need to get angry", said Anika in fear what if he shouted at her here. She will not keep quiet if he will get angry for no reason but she is not ready to create a scene here

"I am not but don't call me anything like this. Start eating", he said. Anika nodded and started having choole bharote. She was enjoying her meal whereas he was eating as someone forced him to. She looked towards him whose face was showing nothing and it was looking like he was not enjoying the dish.

She looked down that's when Shivaay noticed her enjoying her food. She is so bindass type of girl who is always happy. He smiled when he watched her smily face.
