The Ambrosia Of Love(Shivika FF)

Facing The Fire-Ball!

Oberoi Office

____________

Shivaay is walking and talking with someone over phone,followed by Khanna.As he cuts the call he asks Shivaay-

K:  Sir,if you don't mind,can I ask something?

S:  What is it?

K:  Your...wedding is just two days away.Instead of getting busy in the preparations,you are attending to office work.This is not looking....good.

Shivaay smiles inwardly listening to Khanna's concern.He says in his mind-

"Things got twisted way too much regarding this marriage.A happy celebration has turned out to be a complete nightmarish experience for the would-be bride of this affair.When Annika is unable to enjoy all those,how am I supposed to,her would-be husband?"

Khanna's words break the deep thinking trance of Shivaay.He says-

S:  Don't worry,everything is fine.An urgent meeting has come up otherwise I would not have bothered myself.And you know that I was busy in selecting my outfit for today's evening's ring ceremony.Had to come here for that meeting only.After this there is no work as OE has granted my leave for couple of days for the marriage,like every other employee..........Shivaay starts laughing while Khanna joins half-heartedly.

Meeting Room

____________

Shivaay is explaining something to the present members in the semi-dark room while pointing at the lightened up projector screen,behind him.

S:  So ladies and gentlemen,we....................He could not finish as Khanna barges inside,looking utterly tensed.Before Shivaay can ask anything,he hears someone calling out his name almost shouting-

 Shivaay Singh Oberoi!!!!

Khanna steps away and Annika Vardhan Trivedi shows up.Everyone turns to have a look at that person who dared shouting on Shivaay like that,in his office.There he orders hurriedly-

Excuse me everyone,leave us alone for some moment.......And all people depart.

Then,Annika closes the door with a bang and starts towards Shivaay.Going near she stares at him for few seconds then grabs the lapels of his suit-

A:  You stupid,moron,dumb,devil,vile,cruel...........She continues showering special words while pushing Shivaay backwards with force.At last he gets stuck at the projector screen.As soon as he stops going backward,he puts his hand on Annika's mouth to put a temporary end to her firing-

S:  What are you doing?This is really too much.I have a reputation........She pushes away his hand-

A:  Reputation my foot!What do you think of yourself?What?Just tell me today!

Her voice raises and Shivaay thinks doomsday has literally arrived!He braces himself-

S:  We can talk peacefully too?Can't we?Why all those shouting and......

A:  Fine,let's talk.........She folds her hands smiling and Shivaay gets the vibe of more danger!

Tell me,why do you want to marry me?Is there any dearth of marriageable girls in India that you chose me to "Halal" in the wedding guillotine?Do you really see yourself in the mirror?Being up to an Uncle's age you want to marry a teen-aged girl?Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
