Shivika OS- Clarity
"Shivaay baby please drop Anika home. It's quite late" said Tia requesting Shivaay to which he replied "Tia driver can drop her. Come, I will drop you."Anika gave him a withering look and Tia replied "Don't worry about me baby, Robin is going to pick me up tomorrow." Anika thanked Tia for inviting her to her party in her Panvel farm house and started leaving alone. She was walking on the highway alone in darkness which chilled her to bone with her phobia or chill she was undecided. She panicked as a black car started following her which made her to murmur Gayatri mantras under her breathe. As she heard the honking from the car behind her she started walking fast or rather running as the car approached her. The car overtook her and stood right in her front of her. She stood rigidly fixed to her spot and only slightly relaxed when she saw Shivaay Singh Oberoi getting out of the car. She sighed in relief, when Shivvay said "Get in the car. It's dark and I can't let you walk alone so stop wasting my time and get in". Anika gave him a murderous look and scoffed "Oh, please don't let that bother you. You don't care right. Infact you would be glad if something does happen to me" to which Shivaay gave an annoyed look and said "For the last time Get in or else I am going. You are right I don't care about you but Daadi and my siblings do so I am doing this for them. Stop annoying me." Shivaay got in the car and and started the engine making Anika worried and she quickly rushed to the car and sat in the back. Shivaay looked in the mirror to see Anika glaring at him. Anika said "Let's go. You will start the car after muhurat. Start the car "to which an angry Shivaay replied "I am not your chauffeur and you are not my master. Come in front". Anika gave him a pointed look and both got in a staring contest through the mirror and when Anika saw he was not budging she gave in and sat next to him on the passenger seat. They travelled in silence for 20 minutes when Anika decided to play music in the car. While she was changing stations Shivaay held her wrist and told her to keep the track playing in English. She gave him a silent look to take his hand away when a melody filled the air with an invisible tension.
"Clarity"
(feat. Foxes)
High dive into frozen waves where the past comes back to life
Fight fear for the selfish pain, it was worth it every time
Hold still right before we crash 'cause we both know how this ends
A clock ticks 'til it breaks your glass and I drown in you again
'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?
(Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey)
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?
Walk on through a red parade and refuse to make amends
It cuts deep through our ground and makes us forget all common sense
Don't speak as I try to leave 'cause we both know what we'll choose
If you pull then I'll push too deep and I'll fall right back to you
'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?
(Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey)
Why are you my clarity?
Why are you my remedy?
Why are you my clarity?
Why are you my remedy?
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?
Shivaay saw Anika singing along in a slow voice to which Shivaay asked "Do you even understand a word or what is it about." Anika didn't reply immediately and after thinking about it she said in a low tone "The song is about love. I don't understand the lyrics completely but what I am getting from this song is it's about a person who does not want to admit he is in love with a person for whom he does not seem want to fall in love with. It's talking about even if that girl seems unsuitable to him he can't deny wanting her." Shivaay looked in her direction slowly and saw with Clarity the real Anika for whom he was not supposed to care. H was not supposed to like her in fact he was supposed to hate her. He turned off the music but the lyrics kept haunting him and its words taunting him. He saw Anika sleeping with her head touching the glass and immediately put his hand on the glass as she head was about to get banged hard. He brought her head closer and brought it close to his shoulder. Anika being oblivious to his action subconsciously brought her head even closer and leaned on Shivaay's chest near his heart. She snuggled in closure as she felt like being wrapped in a warm and safe cocoon. Anika woke up startled when Shivaay pushed the brakes hard to avoid hitting a stray dog which suddenly rushed to the middle to the road. Their car skidded for few second and as Anika was not wearing a seat belt she would have been badly hurt by flying through the wind shield when they hit a tree if Shivaay had not placed his arm in front of her to save her. They both were shocked and sat frozen but Shivaay quickly snapped out and asked Anika "Are you okay? You stupid girl you could have been killed. Why didn't you wear seatbelt? I was preoccupied and didn't notice but what's you excuse." Anika looked on his arm which was bleeding from glass pieces pierced in his skin. She looked guiltily and said "I am sorry. You are bleeding. Please let me take a look" to which Shivaay didn't argue and extended his arm to Anika who tried removing shared from his forearm gently with tears in her eyes. She blew at his injured hand and muttered "Is it aching to bad?" to which Shivaay didn't reply but said "No. It feels nice." Anika looked at him and they both stared quietly as both were feeling pain but not from any physical injury but in a different part of their anatomy. Anika cleaned his wounds with antiseptic liquid and then applied cream and bandage from the first aid kit kept in the glove compartment of his car.
Anika and Shivaay both started walking to the nearest petrol pump as Shivaay's car refused to start even after some basic repair carried out. Shivaay tugged her closer indicating he will walk on the road side and she was to walk next to him safely on the side away from the road. They saw a car approaching when an excited Anika raised her hand indicating for a lift. When the car pulled up, Shivaay saw three men clearly have drunk asking Anika to get in. He couldn't believe Anika being as stupid as she started getting in the back seat with one of the guy leering at her. He pulled her back angrily with his blood boiling and told the men to continue "Sorry we don't want lift." Anika gave him expatriated look saying "What are you talking about? Bhaiya our car broke guy after we met an accident so please help us out." Shivaay glared at the men who clearly got scared after seeing his blue green eyes shining like a Siberian tiger with murderous rage reflecting in them. They quickly started the car and sped away. Anika tugged at his hand which was gripping her wrist like a vice tightly and said "Why did you do that. Can't you see there is no petrol pump for next 5 km or so? At this rate we will never reach Mumbai. What were you thinking" to which Shivaay glared angrily and tightening his grip said "You are mad. And blind also. Can't you see the look they were giving you? Are you really that naive or plain stupid to know that they would think you were giving them signals?" Anika laughed at that and said "What signals are you talking about. I called them Bhaiya" to which Shivaay got pissed and said "Since you are so much better than me in reading signals and thoughts why don't you decipher this." Shivaay pulled her to his chest and blocked out the moon light which was the sole witness of Shivaay's passion as his mouth descended on hers hungrily plundering its depths. Anika tried figting him, pushing on his chest but she ended up surrendering to her inner craving for him and his proximity. She started caressing his chest while he tugged at her hair bringing her even closer than before like in a second they would both melt away and rise as one. He gentled the kiss as he felt her response and he slacked his grip slightly but not releasing her. He thought "What am I doing? I am kissing this girl. This girl without a surname and I am liking it. No liking is a much tamer term for what I am feeling. I am craving her. I am hungry for her."
Anika felt a jolt as she heard another car approaching them from a distane and she quickly pushed at Shivaay's chest being fully aware that it was because he wanted to and not because she wanted him to. She was still flustered and breathing heavily while Shivaay looked so calm and composed that she felt whatever happened before this was a dream and not a reality. But she knew it was reality and not a dream as she felt her lips tingling and goose bumps all over. She flushed seeing the hungry look in his glassy eyes and started walking towards the car which was now nearby. She gave him one last look and got in after seeing Rudra in the front seat when he called Shivaay out "Chalo, let's go Bhaiyya." The remaining journey to Mumbai was completed with an awkward silence with occasional burst of Rudra's chatter about his latest hair product and new gym routine. Anika was glad that it was Rudra and not Omkara in the car as she was so perceptive he could have sensed something big had transpired between them. As soon as they reached her area she asked Rudra to stop and quckly ran off without looking at Shivaay and leaving a baffled Rudra who asked "Is Anika Di okay? She didn't even wish me Good night. I will ask her tomorrow." Shivaay sat in a brooding silence and when Rudra started the music system at the highest decibel blaring through the speaker "If our love is insanity why are you my clarity."He violently hit the music system startling Rudra and said "Stop this stupid track at once."
