ShivOmRu : A Bond Beyond Brotherhood

#29

Shivaay held Annika by her waist, the papers showered on them both like flower petals as they shared an eye-lock.

"Chhodo mujhe." ("Leave me.") Annika whispered after a few seconds.

"What ?" Shivaay asked matching her level of volume.

"I said, leave me." This time, Annika had anger laced in her voice.

Shivaay's cheeks suddenly flared up and turned pink. He felt awkward holding a girl in his arms like that.

"Chhod ne ka kya loge ?" ("Are you going to leave me or not ?") Annika growled when Shivaay still didn't leave her.

Shivaay came back to reality and left her waist abruptly making her fall on the ground with a loud thud.

"Ow." Annika cried and glared up at Shivaay. "Kitne badtameez hai aap !" ("You're so mannerless !") She said angrily.

Shivaay ignored her and started searching for his mobile without caring about Annika.

"Oye hello !" Annika stood up and made Shivaay face her. "Ek ladki ko koi aisa girata hai ?" ("Who drops a girl like this ?")

"Mein yaha tumhe girne se bachane ke liye khada tha kya ?" ("Was I standing here to save you from falling ?") Shivaay retorted, he was still comparatively calm.

"Mein na tum jaise cheapdey logo ko acche se janti hu. Pehle sundar ladki se takkrao, fir unse dosti karo aur fir unhe jaal mein phasalo." ("I know perverts like you very well. First run into beautiful girls, then befriend them and trap them in fake love.") Annika hissed. "Lekin ek baat kaan khol ke sunn lo, mein tumhare jaal mein nahi phasne wali." ("But get this straight in your head, I won't be falling for your stupid traps.")

Shivaay heard her out calmly and then faced her with an attitude. "Ladko ko judge karne se pehle na, apni taraf dekhlo, koi ameer, paise wala, handsome ladka dikha nahi ki uski baho mein girne ke liye betab ho jati hai, tum jaisi ladkiyan." ("Before judging boys, take a look at yourself. As soon as rich, handsome guys catches your eye, girls like you become very eager to fall in their arms.")

"Ek minute, kya ? Kaunsa handsome ladka khada hai yaha ?" ("Wait a sec, what ? Where do you see a 'handsome' guy here ?") Annika asked while pretending to find a handsome boy around her.

Shivaay's jaws clenched. "Toh tumhe kaunsi sundar ladki dikh rahi hai yaha pe ?" ("Then where did you see a beautiful girl here ?") He retorted.

"Chashmish ho kya ? Mein dikhayi nahi de rahi aapko ?" ("Are you blind ? Am I invisible to you ?") Annika glared at Shivaay again.

"Excuse me, I've a standard. Tumse se kai sundar ladkiya Shivaay Singh Oberoi ke liye line mein khadi rehti hai, samjhi ?" ("Excuse me, I've a standard. Girls, more better and beautiful than you, wait for me in ques, understand ?") Shivaay said with his tadi.

Annika fell silent for a moment and her face changed. It seemed like something just clicked in her mind.

"Ek minute kya bola aapne ? Shivaay Singh Oberoi ?" ("Wait a sec, what did you say ? Shivaay Singh Oberoi ?") Annika raised an eyebrow. "Aap Shivaay Singh Oberoi hai ?" ("You're Shivaay Singh Oberoi ?")

"Koi shak ?" ("Any doubt ?") Shivaay answered with slight smirk.

Annika scoffed and then smiled, sarcastically. "Fir toh koi doubt hi nahi hai ki aapka bartav itna ghatiya hai." ("No, it's all clear now. No wonder you were behaving like that.") She smirked.
