My hubby from another mother - A Shivika Fanfiction -(On Hiatus)

~33~

"Annika, Gauri, I must say that you both have grown up to be very beautiful!" Veer uncle said and while Gauri smiled, I rolled my eyes.

"I also completed a bachelor degree Veer uncle and Gauri is doing hers," I replied with a smile. I got brain uncle, not only beauty.

"Harsh, I heard you got married? Where's my bhabhi?" Veer then asked.

"Mom left to run some errands with Shivaay bhaiya. He's her son." Gauri said.

"Alright. Harsh tell me, did you tell Annika how Shivaansh is interested in arts?" Veer uncle said looking at me then at Shivaansh.

"No daddy didn't tell us much about Shivaansh, Veer uncle," Gauri replied.

"Then why don't you show him around while we elders talk about business?" Veer uncle suggested and I furrowed my brows. What was this devil plan? Anyway, we left and went to the garden. Shivaansh was walking in between Gauri and me.

"So, where were you staying again?" Gauri asked.

"In Canada. Annika, you shall go there someday. It's really great." Shivaansh replied.

"Yeah sure. Gauri and I dreamt about doing a sister trip one day. What do you think of this Sweetie?" I asked Gauri, completely ignoring Shivaansh.

"People say that Canada is also a great place for a honeymoon," Shivaansh added and I rolled my eyes.

"My future husband and I will go to Bora Bora for our honeymoon," I said dreamingly. Having sex on the beach was one of the many fantasies I had about Shivaay and I's sex life.

"I love Bora Bora!" He replied. 'Well, Shivaansh I don't give a damn!' I thought.

I was so immersed in my thoughts that I missed seeing the huge root on the floor and I tripped over it. Hopefully, I didn't meet the ground but to my luck (note the sarcasm), Shivaansh was the one who held me.

"Are you alright?" He held me in his arms, while I was trying to free myself from his hold.

"Hey! Guys!" I heard Shivaay and my heart ceased to beat.

"Shivaay!" I whispered and quickly but forcefully freed myself from Shivaansh's clutch. I ran into Shivaay's arms, calling him bhaiya.

"Thank God you came," I whispered in his ears. Gauri came to us and hugged Shivaay too.

"Shivaansh, meet our handsome bro, Shivaay," I said and I smiled looking at Shivaansh's face.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Shivaay," Shivaansh said and shook his hand while Shivaay looked at him with a tight-lipped smile. We proceeded on walking around the garden except that that time Shivaay was in between Shivaansh and I and I had my arm wrapped around Shivaay's.

"I would have thought that as siblings you would fight, I always fight with Jia and Priyanka," Shivaansh said.

"Well, even though I've been promoted to elder brother only a few days back I know that this house is the best place for these two to know how their husband shall treat them. They are my responsibility and I shall make them happy at any cost." Shivaay said and I smiled. If I weren't in love with him already, I would have been glad to have him as a protective big brother. He was just too perfect to be true.

"Shivaay, by the way, where is Pinky aunty?" I asked.

"She went inside through the back door to keep everything in place before going to meet Veer uncle," Shivaay replied.

"Maybe we shall go back inside," I suggested and Gauri hummed.

We went back inside the house as Pinky aunty was also coming from the kitchen.

"Hello." She said and I noticed her face losing its colour as her eyes fell upon Veer uncle. I noticed her every move and saw her quickly putting on a façade as she approached Veer uncle and daddy.

"You must be Veer? I'm Pinky Trivedi." She said. I didn't know if the others noticed it but both seemed tense when they shook hands.

"You guys are back?!" Daddy said acknowledging us.

"Shivaay come here beta." Daddy said.

"Veer, meet my son Shivaay." Daddy said enthusiastically.

"I didn't remember Alia and you having a son..." Veer uncle replied.

"Well, he's Pinky's son but he's nothing less than my son." Daddy said. Shivaay and Shivaansh took a seat next to each other, Pinky sat next to Daddy, Gauri sat next to Shivaansh and I sat on the armrest next to Shivaay.

"Annika, tell me more about you. I heard you were in London right?" Veer uncle said.

"Yes, uncle. I came back recently, less than a week ago. It was great back there. I did a bachelor's degree in management." I replied.

"So you're all ready to take over your dad's enterprise?" He continued. Was I being interviewed or what?

"Yes, Shivaay and I will be taking care of daddy's business," I said, looking at Shivaay with a smile.

"And what about your love life? Any son-in-law for this old man?" Veer uncle chuckled.

"I don't want to sound rude, but I think that's not of your business uncle. If ever I have someone in my life, you'll get to know it on time." I gave him a tight-lipped smile while he just grinned.

"You raised her well Harsh. A fierce woman like her, that's who I've always imagined as a daughter-in-law." Veer uncle said while I crooked my brows.

"I sure hope you'll get the daughter-in-law you deserve, Veer uncle," I said with a smile.

"Annika, why don't you go and fetch some tea for us?" Daddy asked.

"Sure, Shivaay can you help me?" I enquired.

"I think you can do this on your own honey, don't bother your brother..." Daddy intervened.

"It's alright, I'll help her," Shivaay said and we both went to the kitchen. As soon as we were out of earshot and eyesight, I hugged him tightly.

"I don't know what's happening out there Shivaay but I'm really scared. Daddy's behaviour makes me believe that he wants something to happen between Shivaansh and me!"

"Don't be silly! Why would he do that out of a sudden? Moreover, you're not getting married to Shivaansh and even if that happens to be his plan, I'm not letting it happen." Shivaay replied. He took my hand in his and kissed it.

"And how you'll prevent this from happening?"

"I'll marry you before that."

"I thought you would have said that you'd tell him about us." I sighed.

"Now that he's calling me his son... I don't know what to do..."

"And I'm calling you my husband so you better find a solution. I dealt with Pinky aunty, your turn to deal with daddy." I smirked as I put the teacups on the plate.

"Annika you know that's not fair... I mean my mother is sweet... Your father forbids you to have relationships before... How will I marry you if he kills me before that?" Shivaay asked.

"Ok, fine. We'll do this together."

Precap

"Daddy..."

"Maa..." We both said and Shivaay grasped my hand tighter.

"Mr. Trivedi, we're sorry to disturb you but what we have to say cannot wait. Annika and I tried to keep it hidden from you until we were ready to tell it to you but we can't lie to you anymore. We love each other." Shivaay said and I nodded.

Just a reminder... Always expect the unexpected :)
