shivaay followed her but till then she went into a room...he eyed from the glass door as she met the patience, she was an aged woman who was quite injured...anika called someone and made that woman talk to the caller...that woman was weak but he did saw the smile that appeared on her lips after the call and how it brought a wide smile on anika's lips...a beautiful and true smile...it soothed his heart to see her smiling...only his heart could tell how much he had craved to witness this sigh in past 7 months... she stopped smiling as if she sensed him, she turned and in no time her face which was shining lost all it's colors and now what was visible on her face was hurt and pain and he couldn't help but curse himself for letting her find him...may be he would had got a little more time to witness that smile on her face...he saw how she told something to that woman and made her way outside, she was coming to talk to him...but was he ready? 'what do you want Mr.Shivaay Singh Oberoi?' She asked facing him and he tried to utter something he opened and closed his mouth a several times but nothing came out ...he stood their speechless...this was impossible for him to understand the reason behind his such behaviour 'what happened dropped your tongue somewhere?' she moched inviting back his anger 'watch your tune...' he threatened and she rolled her eyes 'Don't you dare and try to scare me with this anger of yours shivaay ...I have been through worst than this and now it doesn't scare me anymore' she told him..fury taking over her.. he couldn't believe she is the same anika he came across some minutes earlier in the corridor...she seemed broken earlier but now the girl standing in front of him looked like a lioness...she crossed her hands across her chest as if waiting for him to say whatever he wanted to...he starred at her for a moment before held her upper arm harshly in his and almost dragged her with him to some isolated corner...and when he came to halt he looked around..it looked like a store room of that floor... old broken beds, some equipments...doesn't matter, he needed to talk to her 'leave me' she hissed as she freed herself from his hold 'akhir apki problem kia hai shivaay?' she asked 'mere problem?...really, you have awoken the beast in me like always...don't ever, ever talk to me like that' he warned referring to her earlier behaviour and she chuckled 'didn't I just tell you that i am not scared of you...still you are trying hard to scare me...poor you' 'anika' he said through gritted teeths 'why are you here?' He further asked and she took in a deep breath..the hurt, the loneliness he witnessed before in her eyes, returning...she again took him by surprise as the fearless anika left her but none of it mattered to her because she was still strong 'see shivaay, I am here for a very important work and I didn't intent to come across you in anyway...things between us are over, you never trusted me and i walked away leaving my love and life behind that concerned you, things between us are settled as you are moving on in your life with tia and I am just living this live because I want to find sahil and for the kids in my orphanage...I don't wish to have you in my life anymore and i know here our feelings are mutual then why are you hell bent on making it difficult for me? I am not here for you and you also aren't here for ME...then please don't follow me and you don't have any right to ask me why I am here ...I will leave once my duty here will over...now let me go i have to leave ' 'what if I say no you can't?' 'Then I am in no way going to listen to you...you are nothing to me Shivaay, nothing at all and I am not that anika who use to do anything for you' she said, hurt visible in her voice... her words pained him, it hurted him, she turned to go but he stopped her 'anika...why did you do this to me? Why did you betray me?' He asked as his eyes moistened and she turned to him...angry 'shivaay I loved you dammit ...I loved you a lot and I have accepted that you didn't trust me and forget trusting you didn't even show an ounce of believe when I said that video was everything but true...yes it was me in that video but you should have tried to find out why I was there in it...you arent aware about anything that happened...you should have believed me shivaay...at least you should had heard me out...the truth, my reasons but no' she said as angry tears rolled down her cheeks...she wiped them away 'what..do..you..mean..by..the..truth?' He asked in a broken sentence 'you yourself said that you were there, in that video' 'Of course I know what I said shivaay but I wanted to tell you, tell you everything that happened...but you said that you trust me...it was so lame of you na shivaay...to say that you trust me but when the time came you just pushed me away, blamed me of betraying you and left me alone...' she chuckled painfully but then took in a deep breath to console herself 'listen shivaay I am hurt , I am very hurt , your every action had broken me but still may be I couldn't hate you how much I try so please for my own sake I am requesting you never ever ask me all this...I swear it will make me hate you...hate you so much that I will forget that I have once loved you with all my might...I swear on that because it was you and just you who betrayed my love...and trust which I had for you and not me...and i hope that it's our last meeting' she said and walked away shivaay stood their still as his mind drifted back to past, the day which was going to be one of the best day of his life but it turned out to be worst...he still remember it fully
anika was pacing back and forth in the guest room...today was her and shivaay's engagement ceremony and soon shivaay walked in her room, she sighed in relief as soon as he came and hugged him 'thank God you came' she whispered, he hugged her back smiling a little 'you messaged that you need to talk...how can I not come?' He said as he kissed her forehead...she took in the blissful feeling before she broke the hug and faced him...worry visible on her face as she held his hand tightly in her's
'anika what's the matter?' He asked, he could sense that something was terribly wrong 'shivaay woo daksh...' she stated and it was enough to make shivaay angry, he fisted his hand 'what do you want to talk about daksh anika...?' 'Shivaay daksh is trying to separate us...shivaay he will separate us...wo Hume alag kar dega..he hates you so much shivaay, wo apki zindagi kharab karne ke liye kuch bhe kar sakta hai' anika said as she feared about his moves 'I know that he hated me anika but you know na I won't let anything go wrong' he tried to assure her but she seemed too much upset to calm down
'she shook her head 'you aren't understanding shivaay...there is a lot more then you think he can do... he is not only your business rival now shivaay...he wants me...and he would do anything to destroy you because I love you...to destroy us because we love each other...and that's why I wanted to talk to you very urgently' she said
shivaay cupped her cheeks 'anika...listen to me...nothing can part us away...I love you and that's it...no one and I mean no one can separate us' he said and wiped away a tear that rolled down her cheeks, she gulped in her saliva as she nodded 'shivaay...you trust me na?' She asked as if she was afraid, afraid about something 'yes I trust you anika...and about daksh, I won't let him ruin our happiness in any way, from today itself you and sahil will stay here in Oberoi Mansion ' he said 'shivaay still, I want you to listen to this...it's important, I know you trust me shivaay, and I trust your trust on me but sometimes we see beyond things and trust blindly... '
'I don't want you to lose faith in my love for you..I love you so much and I can't loose you...i met daksh...' anika noticed how shivaay opened his mouth to interrupt her again but as soon as she took daksh name he stopped thus she continued 'yesterday when you dropped me home I made sahil sleep and went out to call you because I didn't want to disturb his sleep, i didn't even noticed when he came in my house but when you did not answer my call I went inside and found him there wi...' before she continued daadi came to call them herself along with OmRu 'i knew it bachon...that we will find billu here only...'
anika noticed how hard it was for shivaay to look away from her and try to listen to what daadi has to say 'billu...' 'huh..ji daadi' she called out again shaking him a little, OmRu giggled at that 'billu I promise to allot you two a little time after engagement before om go to drop her home but for now muhrat jaa raha hai sagai ka...chal' daadi teased him but he just reacted on one thing 'daadi anika yahin rahege, shaadi tak bhe or bad mein bhe...' he started ' shaadi ke baad to anika didi bhabhi ban jaege bhaiyaa...phir tou unhe yahin rehna hoga...logic' rudra joked making daadi laugh 'ohkay now enough of all this, billu let's go downstairs' daadi said and when shivaay nodded she turned to leave OmRu following her, shivaay turned to anika and held her hand securely in his
'i love you anika and I trust you and I won't let daksh come in between us...let's get done with this engagement after which I want you to tell me everything...ohkay?' He asked and she nodded sighing in relief...they then made their way downstairs intertwining their hands shivaay opened his eyes as OM shook him, he looked around, he was now seating on a bench outside sahil's cabin, how he came here he did not realize, he was lost, lost in the past 'shivaay you ohkay?' Om asked and he nodded, although om didn't look convince still he turned to go inside 'om' shivaay called out for him and he turned 'han shivaay ' he asked coming to him and sat beside him 'shivaay tu theek nahe hai' om stated when shivaay didn't say anything for a few more minutes 'om...om anika...' he started not knowing how to continue 'what about anika shivaay?' Asked om with urgency 'that day, before our engagement' he started and glanced at om who was looking at him intently waiting for him to continue 'she wanted to talk..about daksh' he said 'what about daksh shivaay?' 'I don't know...she was trying to tell me when daadi came and so I asked her to tell me later...om she wanted to say something...I didn't listen to her' he told him helplessly 'why now shivaay, why now suddenly you remember that and why not in past 7 months you gave it a thought?' om asked, angry after shivaay, if they knew about it then it would had been a little easy to put some sense in his brother's mind but shivaay had no answers to his questions he stood up, as his eyes moistened 'OM' he whispered 'i will go and check on sahil' he added and went inside while om shook his head 'no shivaay, you cant run away like this, not this time' he said and was going to follow him inside when he saw priyanka coming towards him but it wasn't priyanka who made him stop in his way, it was her 'Anika' he mouthed Anika was at pharmacy to get some medicines prescribed by the doctor for Nupur Mishra, Ragini's sister, she payed and turned to leave when she came across someone she least expected, Priyanka Singh Oberoi, who was equally shock to find her there, anika thought that like that day she will again address her with hatred but what happened then was beyond her imagination, a very shocked yet guilty priyanka took her in a hug, sobbing hard, 'sorry Anika...I am so sorry anika' she cried anika stood still not knowing how to react, wasn't priyanka the same person who asked her to leave her home when she went to her asking her to trust her but she too, didn't trust her, anika was brought back to reality and priyanka hugged her even tightly 'maaf kardei mujhe anika please' she whispered and anika couldn't help but wrap her arms around her, someone who was once her best friend at last priyanka broke the hug, tears still rolling down her cheeks as she held anika's hand 'i am sorry Anika, mujhe maaf kardei...' she almost pleaded 'priyanka...please stop crying...please' anika requested not able to see her cry like this 'mai galat the anika, I was so so wrong, tu meri best friend the aur maine tujhe par trust nahe kiya' she whispered 'jo ho chuka wo badla nahe ja sakta priyanka...all this doesn't matter anymore, I am sorry I have to go' anika said painfully and tried to free her hand from her hold but priyanka held on to them tightly
'nahe anika, we still want to set it right and also now we have even found sahil back' 'sahil?' Anika was trying to flee away from there, she didn't want their sympathies neither their sorry's would change anything but her breath hitched as soon as she heard her brother's name being called 'did you just say sahil?' She asked hoping against hope with a thudding heart, her eyes shining with fresh tears, tears of hope and priyanka nodded smiling through her tears 'yes I said sahil anika...we found sahil yesterday...' she informed, she knew her bhaiya asked to not to inform anika right now but finding her in front of her, she couldn't hold on to her emotions 'priyanka...please take me to him, I want to see my brother my sahil...' she cried out and priyanka nodded holding her hand in her's she made her way to his room with anika following her with her heart beating faster then ever om looked at priyanka with questioning eyes but she was looking at anika, she pointed at sahil's room anika made her way there, she stopped by the door to witness the scene in front of her, her baby brother was hurt, he was badly hurt, shivaay was trying to feed him soup and it was clear that Sahil was giving him hard time by not having it, she couldn't hold herself any longer and pushed the door, it opened and she was finally standing in front of her brother both her men turned towards the door as her shopper of medicines fell on the floor, one surprised and other, well it was tough to understand what he was feeling, but that moment, she did not care about him, her only priority was her brother who was finally in front of her, she took one step and then second and in no time she was beside her brother, crying brutally cupping his cheeks as if trying to believe that he was real, they were real, together
her breathing became difficult as she sobbed badly looking down still cupping his cheeks 'anika didi' sahil whispered and she looked up at her brother he was crying too...sahil raised his hand to wipe away her tears as she cried even more 'i missed you so much anika didi...I missed you' he whispered and she couldn't help but cry even more, her cries getting louder in a way that it made priyanka worried, om hold her and they both looked at shivaay who was starring at her shocked and still 'shivaay...do something she is loosing it' om shouted, shivaay turned to them and then back to her 'anika' he called out but she kept on crying 'anika ' this time he held her by her shoulders shaking her hard, she stopped with a jerk, her eyes swollen with all the crying, she glanced at him for a mere moment before she looked back at sahil, he was also crying, his condition was very much similar to her, the only difference was he cried silently and she wasn't able to hold onto her emotions in anyway, fresh tears again made it's way down as she finally pulled her brother in a hug 'sahil...sahil' she whispered his name uncountable times 'mera bhai, I missed you so much, how can you leave me sahil? Mujhey kaisa chod kar chala gaya tu? ' she whispered as she broke the hug and traveled her hand all over his face and hands 'tu theek bhe nahe hai...I am sorry, I am so sorry sahil, I failed in protecting you...i am sorry apni didi ko maaf kardei' she pleaded as she kissed him all over his face 'didi mai theek hun...' he whispered 'i am sorry...mere galati hai' 'no didi listen to me...apki galati nahe hai...kabhi nahe the, see now i am with you...ab mai apko chod kar kahin nahe jaonga...i promise' he said wiping away her tears she raised her little finger 'pinky promise?' And he smile before he intertwined his little finger with her's 'pinky promise ' he said smiling wide, his ever so sweet smile , she cried as she laughed 'mera bhai...mera sahil, mera sahil wapis agaya...mai kiya karti tere bina..mai Mar jati sahil...mai Mar jati..' she whispered as she buried her face in his little hands... shivaay cringed on hearing that while priyanka hugged om as she shed tears on seeing them...everyone failed to notice how her cries subside and she went quite ...she was at peace after so long
