Part 7 'sahil' anika screamed as she woke up with a jerk, she looked around strangely, she was lying on a bed, and it was a hospital room, before she could reach to any conclusion shivaay was by her side, 'anika...tum theek ho?' He asked, she starred at him for a moment before blinking her eyes, twice...that moment the only thing she remembered was her brother sahil, and her dream...how beautiful her dream was ...she was just lost in it, forgetting the past, those seven months, everything... 'shivaay' she called out as she held his hands 'shivaay I saw a dream, it was a very beautiful dream shivaay, although I have seen many such dreams in past many months but this dream, shivaay it felt like reality, a very beautiful dream...I found my sahil...I got my brother back..' she told him as a tear rolled down her cheek, tear of happiness, shivaay sighed as he cupped her cheeks in his , wiping her tear with him thumb, 'anika...listen to me' he said and she just hummed, still smiling on remembering her dream, which so felt like reality 'it wasn't a dream' shivaay told her and she glanced at him a little confuse, as if she was kid and what he said didn't make any sense to her 'it. wasn't.a.dream' she repeated in a broken sentence and he nodded 'come...come with me' he said and helped her getting up, she held his hand as his other hand wrapped around her shoulder, he took her to another room, she was confused as he opened it and they get in, she could see om and priyanka there, sitting in front of the patient, she came forward as shivaay freed her from his hold and she froze ... there slept her brother ...priyanka applying ointment on his palm's wound, few tears rolled down her cheeks, as a recent memory came rushing back to her, her brother was back, it was like as if she had lost her memory and just now bit by bit every memory came rushing back, one by one she was hit by reality, by past and by all the insults that were hurled on her a few months back... she took a step back and was hit by something hard she turned and there stood The Shivaay Singh Oberoi, she blinked as if clearing her blur vision, he was there...still but why? She don't need him, he didn't trust her... 'i have to go' she mumbled as she suddenly remembered about Nupur, Ragini's sister, and before shivaay could say something she left, standing there blank for a moment, he rushed after her, she was going to see Nupur but shivaay stopped her holding her hand just outside her room 'anika...this lady, doctors are treating her well, I will take care of everything' he told her but she just shrugged away his hand 'you will say this but you can't take care of anything shivaay... so please stay away ' she said sarcastically as he stumbled back 'anika listen to me' 'I said stay away' he tried again getting a little closer but she raised her voice stopping him... 'fine..but at least listen to me..for sahil' he said and knew that she won't deny when it's for sahil as expected she remained calm and he continued 'anika you fainted sometime back...doctors have asked you to rest, so please come to your room and take rest, sahil will be hurt if he find out that you aren't resting' 'sahil is sleeping shivaay...he won't know' 'then I will tell him' 'you wont' 'well I will now just listen to me...take some rest because as soon as he will be up, he will ask about you' he said and she sighed with defeat...anything for sahil ...thus she made her way to her room and shivaay followed her she sat on the bed with her head resting back, eyes closed but she wasn't at peace, past memories were making it hard for her to take any rest, so much had happened in past seven months but that moment when he broke her by breaking his trust on her was something which killed her...that was unbearable and she can never forget that day 'chal anika mere puttar ko rings pehna' pinky lovingly told a very happy and relaxed anika as everyone from the Oberoi family gathered around them with some guest also present for the Engagement ceremony of Anika and Shivaay...sahil stood beside shivaay, too much happy to even explain
anika nodded at her and took the ring from priyanka, she held shivaay's left hand and was going to slide the ring in his finger when the lights went off making the ring fall from her hand, with darkness around anika clutched shivaay's hand in fear, his hand went around her waist in it's own accord...a white light appeared on the big screen on one corner of the room, almost everyone raised their hands to stop the light from hitting their eyes but anika stood rotted on her spot as when the light turned dim, she could see herself in that video, she was wearing the lehenga she wore yesterday as Rudra wanted to do a small sangeet before engagement...he was that much happy
each and every head in the hall turned towards her and she felt like a culprit as she looked down feeling everyone's gaze on her..still she was strong as she was held by him, her shivaay, she knew he will understand her...he has to..after all he just told her that he loves her and trust her
'daksh believe me, I don't love shivaay, he is just a rude arrogant and heartless Man, he doesn't deserve love daksh, I am just marrying him for his money...just his money, I swear as soon as half of his property gets on my name, I will leave, I will leave him...you said you loved me yet you can't trust me...please at least believe me on this... ' she said deparately, a bag was thrown at her feet , a voice was heard 'i believe you anika, after all you are the only person I loved why won't I believe you...but I don't believe that shivaay, keep this money with you anika...you will need them...' he said and anika smiled as she bent down and picked up the bag 'thank you daksh...now will you please drop me back home..it's my engagement today in a few hours with Shivaay Singh Oberoi ' he told him with a smirk as daksh came forward and cupped her cheeks and that's it...the screen went black..no one will know what happened next
anika's whole body trembled like a tiny leave, as the video Played, it was true but not a complete truth, why wasn't there any video of what happened before this and later..why...she cried silently on her helplessness...but she went still when she felt his hold loosening around her...'shivaay' she whispered as she felt that her heart just stopped beating when she turned to him..his eyes held disbelief, there was no trust...she gasped, there was no love...the only emotion she could see in those beautiful orbs of his was anger and pain...he was hurt and angry but where was trust? His love? He said he has trust in me...she reminded herself
'shivaay..no listen to me please' she mumbled but she didn't get a chance as she was pulled harshly by pinky aunty and a sound of slap echoed in the hall, everyone who went silent on witnessing the video remained still on there places as pinky slapped anika...it was only her brother who realized what actually happened and in no time he was beside his sister... 'anika didi' he called as he held her hand
anika's other hand was on her cheek as she looked down at her brother with moist eyes and nodded a no 'mai aese nahe hun sahil' she whispered and his hold tightened as if telling her that he knows... she tried to tell the same to other but didn't get time as pinky held her arm harshly and shook her hard asking her about how can she betray them..they all loved her so much 'aunty please trust me..mai aese nahe hun..maina kuch nahe kiya...please aunty' 'belives you...can you see it on our faces that we are fools? That after witnessing your true face...we will still trust you...shame on you anika...how easy it was for you to back stab us...by trapping my poor sons in your fake love' pinky said with disgust and she remembered that he was there...he will trust her for sure
she turned to him placing her hands on his each shoulder 'shivaay trust me...it's not true...please let me explain...' 'anika' she said but he cut her off in middle 'why did you do this to me anika?' He asked and she went still, tears rolled down her cheeks as she starred at him with horror 'you said you love me, you said you trust me' she whispered unbelievably but it seemed like he turned deaf to her and what she said as he turned his face, she nodded a no 'you can't just look away like this shivaay' she said and went to face him, she could see all eyes on her, some with hurt, some angry and some disgust but she least cared...the only person who that moment mattered to her was him
'you can't just look away...you can't...you love me right, you trust me...you said yourselve shivaay, please tell it to everyone too, please ask them to trust me shivaay' she screamed helplessly as she shook him hard 'no I won't...I won't say anything to anyone Anika because I don't trust you...you broke my trust anika and I can't trust you anymore...I don't love you anymore...I don't want to see your face ...you are a gold digger anika...how right I was about you earlier but silly me fell in your trap...I am a fool seriously' he answered back in the same tune as her's...a sob escaped her lips as she went silent ... 'now leave...go away from here...I don't want to see this face of yours'
she stumbled freeing him from her hold, tears continuously rolling down her cheeks as she shook her head vigorously 'how can you say like this shivaay, I did all this for you, he wanted to kill you...I did it to save you shivaay..to save my brother...for you and for sahil...how can you not trust me' she mumbled and hoped that anyone from them hear her, trust her...at least once.. she kept on taking her step back, away from him, she was broken , his lack of trust broke her...
her eyes landed on dadi, and she rushed to her 'dadi please believe me' she requested but she looked down crying silently, she rushed to Om Rudra, and repeated again but they too looked away, hurt, shocked...she didn't know.. she pleaded to tej, jhanvi, shakti but they didn't believe her forget supporting her..at last she rushed to priyanka, her best friend 'priyanka tu to mera bharosa kar yaar..please tell everyone ke mai aesa nahe kar sakte...please priyanka...' she requested...a bit relief that her best friend will surely let her explain
'anika...I...am ashamed...th..that you are my..fr..friend..I feel sorry...sorry for my family tha...that I am the reason you a..are here ..to..today' she said stammering yet without fear straight on her face and anika lost that last string of hope
no one trust her, she once again turned to shivaay but he looked away, she cried as shook her head trying to prove her innocence to herself...that may be it will make them believe her... all is lost, her hopes died...she knew that whenever she get a little hope to get happiness, destiny snatch it away from her...although in her earlier age she couldn't witness it clearly, when her parents left her, when her chutki left her, when's sahil's parent died but today, today she can witness her happiness getting crumbled in front of her..
'why me?' Her heart screamed as glancing one last time at him she turned and left that Mansion with sahil limping behind her...
she opened her eyes with a jerk as she heard the door getting close, it was shivaay, with two cups of tea in his hand..she sighed, he was the last person she wished to come across right now but has things ever been how she wished? he made his way towards her and sat on the stool beside her bed quietly forwarding a cup to her, when she didn't take the cup from his hand he sighed and placed it on the table...she looked straight not wanting to have any eye contact with him...not at least now as this will lead to worst..she knew 'anika ' he called out but she choose to ignore 'anika...I know you don't want to talk to me...but there was something I want you to know...' he continued and she sat unaffected by his words, he still went on 'anika today you said that you aren't here for ME neither I am here for you...but anika i want you to know that I am here for you, for you anika and because sahil is like my brother...' he said and she took in a deep breath, tears forming in her eyes but she blinked them away everytime they intent to fall 'anika...I don't know how to tell this to you...but can you...please talk to me...there is so much to talk about...to discuss and sort out' may be he didn't realize what he was saying, his mask of the Shivaay Singh Oberoi fallen, as he went on with his rant...may be it was just because of the condition he saw her in today, of what she told him today which actually made him realized that there was something more, something hidden which he ignored although she pleaded him to listen to her...but it was his mistake he wished to take her in his arms and take away all her pain, to erase all the distance in between them but may be he wasn't aware of how deep her wounds were...he is unaware just like he was in past...she sighed as she turned to look at him 'shivaay' she called out putting a full stop at his rant and he stopped waiting for her to say something 'i don't want to talk about anything with you...and now please leave from here...I want to be alone for now' she said calmly but he could feel the storm behind this calmness...behind her silence... and that's when he realized that it's payback time
