Chapter 13

Annika struggles to speak, shivaay stops her before she speaks

Shivaay - No, Annika, I know your marriage is fixed. I want to let you know what I felt for you. I hurt you a lot, and I don't deserve you.

Before Annika speaks, the doctor comes.

Doctor - Annika, how do you feel now?

Annika - Fine

Doctor - Your brother came in time

Annika - My brother

Shivaay and Annika was puzzled

Doctor - Yes, your brother donated your blood

Shivaay - He is my friend arnav, he is not Annika's blood

The doctor was puzzled now

Doctor - Arnav and Annika’s DNA matches. They both are siblings. Annika, were you separated from your family in childhood.

Annika nods

Doctor - You should ask arnav.

Later, arnav comes to know about it. He shared a story when Annika was a kid they met in an accident. Their mother was declared dead instantly in that accident, and Annika was missing; he and his dad searched for her everywhere, but she was missing.

Arnav - Two years later, dad left me alone, but now I have you. I have my sister now. I won't let you go.

Annika and arnav hug each other and cried in each other's embrace. Shivaay gives them space, and even Annika's adopted parents.

A few hours later, arnav was furious; he holds shivaay by the collar and punches him on his face.

Arnav - How dare you to hurt my sister Shivaay. You fucking idiot, she loves you, damn it, and you are asking her to marry someone else. What type of idiotic lover are you?  Oh god, what type of best friend I got and why did my sister fall in love with you

Shivaay was shocked

Shivaay - You mean she loves me

Arnav - Yesss you stupid... Now go

Shivaay runs towards Annika, and he sees her resting. He shouts, "Annika." He comes to hug her, but Annika pushes him away. She slaps him hard. Shivaay was shocked.

Annika - You idiot, how dare you asked me to marry someone when I love you, idiot. I love you, stupid.

Shivaay - I am sorry, Annika. I thought you were going to reject me

Annika - I love your pea-sized brain

Shivaay - I love you too, model

Shivaay hugs her tightly, and they both cry in each other embrace.

Annika's marriage with Rehyan was called off.

Present time

Annika was sitting on Shivaay lap. They both were remembering what happened in the past year. Annika suddenly starts laughing.

Shivaay - Why are you laughing? 

Annika - You were dressed up as a woman.

She gets up from his lap and takes her phone, which was charging. She unlocks the phone and shows him the photo. She was continuously laughing, looking at it. Shivaay was embarrassed. 

(Annika made shivaay dress up as a girl, his punishment for hurting her)

Shivaay, with eyes turning dark, moves towards Annika and holds her by the waist. Annika stiffens. He traces her cheeks.

Shivaay - Laugh Annika

He kisses her shoulder, neck.

Shivaay - Laugh Annika (He whispers in a husky voice)

Annika - Shivaay (She moans) 

Shivaay - Will you marry me Annika? 

Annika's eyes widen in shock.

She sees Shivaay on his knees, holding a ring for her

Shivaay - Will you give me a second chance Annika in my life?  Will you be my soulmate Annika?  Will you hold me when I fall weak?  Will you correct me when I make mistakes? Are you ready to spend your whole life with me, Annika, in every situation?  Will you marry me, Annika?

Annika - Yesssss shivaay. A million times, Yesss

He slides the ring into her finger. He kisses her passionately.

The End!!!
