Shivaay was roaming around the state in awe ,it is quite big very big than he expected ,Mansion is not the only house there they were surrounded by many houses like a locus to the mansion.Saw many people looking at him suspiciously ,he was warned of this before hand by the couple ,they don't trust anyone quickly.

Then he saw her in a car going out she was also there with her and it stopped beside him

Tanu "Anup found some kid matching description on Sahil,we are going there will you come."

Shivaay saw her eyes tensed and silently got into the car.By the time they reached the gate two more cars joined .

Shivaay "With the threat you guys are in,you are going with only two security cars."

Tanu "Na total 5 security ,two will be in rear distance and one will be in front distance."

Tanu "Leave it, as long we are in this constituency no one attack us."

Shivaay "Where are we going now?"

Tanu "Anup said he got a kid we are going there to see whether its Sahil or not."

Shivaay "Can't he bring him here?"

Tanu "COMA.Face is not recogonizable so we have to go and see for other marks."

The car fell silent as Anika was silent.Againg Tanu was the first to speak.

Tanu "My motor mouth I can't be silent for long have to speak speak and speak."

Tanu "Shivaay tell about yourself ,as long it went I saw you only as criminal so didn't get good meeting previously.I think you don't know much about me either."

Shivaay "Can see though ." meaning commanding nature he is.Anika just gave a smile from behind.

Shivaay "Why isn't Arjun coming."

Tanu "He is grounded right?"

Shivaay "You really grounded him." Shivaay asked in awe.

Tanu "I did ,What is big thing in it."

Shivaay "As much I saw of him ,he is very powerful man I have ever seen and you grounded him."

Shivaay "Can I ask a question?"

Tanu "Go on."

Shivaay "Is he always like that or when he is serious.I mean that composure and balance."

Tanu "Always irritatingly.I know its irritating right." Tanu said keeping an irritated face.

Shivaay "I didn't mean that.I just asked casually."

Tanu "I know its irritating,I have passed this stage.I used to hate this man so much I wanted to break his head and crush his face ..." explaining all kind of tortures she wanted to induce."

Anika was laughing behind the way Tanu is describing it.

Anika "This much anger?"

Tanu "Today what ever happened it somehow helped you ,so you guys didn't bother much over his attitude assume when all is normal will you encourage same thing."

Shivaay tried to think but it is missing links to be accurate he was disturbed by a call in the process.He saw Tia is calling. He was furious by this.

Shivaay turned to driver "Stop the car."

Tanu looked at him confused on what is need of stopping the car.

Shivaay "Tia is calling .Dare she."

Tanu " Wait a moment.Just remember she has upper hand right now."

Shivaay looked confused as phone is yet ringing and went to silence.

Tanu "She still have upper hand. Anika is alive only part of her plan failed. She is yet ahead of us. Even if she applies now for divorce she will get what she wants not complete but half ."

Shivaay was furious listening this he threw his phone in anger as Tia trapped him such good.

Tanu just smiled at him as he broke the phone Anika was looking eagerly to know what should happen trying to find any way she can see.

Tanu "Nice throw.We could have been brother and sister." Smiling.

Shivaay "For breaking phone."

Tanu "For being expressive.Even I break things in my hand when I get angry."

Tanu "I explain to others its not bad at all but no one agrees with me." Finally she got a person to agree.

Shivaay even in that anger could not help but smile at it , here matter is serious not for her ofcourse but she has nerve to be beyond it.

Tanu "What I was saying is . Your actions are definitely gonna effect the outcome.Anika being alive is a liability but she will count for better odds .Then this case is yet on your head are you understanding Sahil may be alive but attempt to murder charges are yet there ,even if Anika withdraws the case all will say she was blackmailed but mark will be on you until we send real culprit behind bars."

Shivaay "What would have Arjun done in this situation?" Shivaay asked thinking of it.

Tanu "Arjun Arjun ...he would never be in this situation,there are too many flaws in your action Arjun won't make many.If assume situation like we got to know a honeytrap.Usually I handle this or he confront directly."

Tanu "Arjun but remember Arjun is confident of his ability to make them confess by nook and crook."

Shivaay "What do you advice."

Tanu "It is your problem ,I point the facts you should find the solution ,that is what I did with Anika also."

Tanu "Anika give your phone." Anika looked confused at her but passed the phone.

Tanu collected his simcard from broken set and replaces Anika's simcard with them.

Tanu "Call her back but before think what is your action,you can use Anika for help.Its her problem too"

Tanu said this and sat in the car silently as Shivaay and Anika looked at each other deciding what to do.

Anika was the first to speak.

Anika "Shivaay speak her for confidence ,she has to know she is in upperhand .If she realizes you are doubting her she will be alert."

Shivaay "What do you want me to do exactly."

Anika "Tell her Mahindhar's are trying to convince you to believe I am victim but you are not beliving."

Shivaay "Should I go for facts or not."

Anika " No, you knwing even half the facts mean you will find remaining soon so just tell Sahil is alive."

Shivaay "Are you mad? You are putting Sahil in risk."

Anika "Its other way to put it,I am increasing no of people searching for Sahil.We can ask our resources to track their activities and it will give us proofs against Shivaay."

Shivaay looked at her confused,she is definitely not Anika he knew she would not risk her brothers life for anything.

Shivaay "Anika you know it is risking Sahil's life.You are doing this for us."

Anika "Not for you ." Anika was serious ."Not for you."

Anika "They tried to kill my brother I will not let her live in peace .I will strip her of everything ,I can do it."

Shivaay for a moment thought it was about him it was about him. He shouldn't be expecting it but he dared to.

Shivaay got the call again and this time he told Tia as Anika suggested.

Tia "Shivaay can't you see it they are trying to fool you and Anika is fooling them also."

Tia "You should warn them of Anika."

Shivaay was controlling his anger to his limits.He spoke to her for few more minutes and told about possibility Saahil being alive.Tia was definitely shocked it is definitely gonna tilt few odds and she kept the call .

Shivaay "B''''' she is ." Anika's phone met the same fate .

Anika was silent he can't read her expression now.She changed much these three months.

Tanu "She is yet trying to turn each against other."

Anika "Tanu can you ask your resources to track Tia's activities."

Tanu just did a gesture of salute saying her work is done.

As they were back in car.

Shivaay "You said Arjun will let you handle this kind of matters how would be doing this."

Tanu "It depends on the threat we posses ,it is a minimal threat we don't even care."

Tanu "Our company is not in public its propreiter based so we take our own risks and profits unlike yours."

Shivaay "You know the risk is tooo much small mistake you will be in roads."

Tanu "We can live on roads." She just smiled.

Tanu "Money is not a matter for us, I am not born with silver spoon ,my family is normal middle class just above it. Only marriage with Arjun changed it else I could even go for teaching ,I have masters in Computer application.Arjun is a lawyer and you know his records."

Tanu "Arjun have been on roads for two years."

Shivaay was shocked "In roads you mean ?"

Tanu "Hmm .After his mothers death Arjun left the mansion and was roaming all over the country in a bike,changing his identity and with no contact to Estate."

Shivaay "Then how did you bring him back."

Tanu smiling widely remembering her memories "No he found me in the end."

Tanu "His journey finished after our marriage he realized or something his journey is over and took me to estate."

Tanu "To say in other words he was searching for me for two years I mean a support or partner for him and he found me after two years and search ended."

Shivaay was in awe .Really is it possible.You go on a journey to find someone.Its some love story worth fairy land in tales.

Anika "Was it that simple."

Tanu "No ,his journey for two years taught him many things ."

Tanu "Leave it it is big story and if I start I will go on like that only."

Tanu "He found me that's all matters."

Anika looked at Shivaay who was watching her from rear view mirror.

Anika "It's a fairy tale."

Tanu "There were thorns .You know what are they we ourselves."

Tanu "It took more than 3 moths for us to accept our feelings,once accepting it fear that it may not get reciprocated.Every thorn was inside us what is outside it never mattered."

Tanu was telling this incidentally for both of them.

As they finally reached the hospital they saw few police there kept by Tanu's brother to receive them.

Tanu spoke to them in few words and they were leading trio to the ward.

Tanu waited outside as Shivaay and Anika went inside. Shivaay could sense her paces heavily she is not able to compose the possibility of outcome.

Shivaay "Anika kuch nahee hoga.Saahil will be fine."

Anika just nodded as they entered the ICU it didn't take more than a moment for Anika to realize he is not Saahil.Tears broke in her eyes.

Anika "He is not Saahil." She was crying worried what where he would be now.

Shivaay "Anika nothing will happen to him ,he will be fine we will find him."

Anika "If we had never met he would have been with me safe." Anika's voice came deep her eyes became red she is angry but she is not letting it out .

Anika silently went outside and told Tanu about it she passed the information to her brother.

Tanu "We will find him you have to be calm for things to move."

Anika "Its been three months three months I don't know anything about him."

Tanu "Anika come on ." she said bringing her to a hug.

As they were going back .

Tanu "Will it be OK if we stop for few minutes.I am thinking to book the car for Arjun it can wait if you want."

Tanu asked them ,she could order it from anywhere even home dealers will come to them running. Anika wondered the same .

As Anika and Tanu were in showroom {Assume hummer or Audi.} Tanu know what to look for she didn't even call Arjun to know his preferences.She was customizing it and Mahindhar's can do more.

It took more than an hour for preferences to be finalized and a blank cheque was given.It will reach them in three to four months .

Shivaay was waiting outside for them by the time they came out.

Tanu "Where have you been?You didn't come along with us."

Shivaay "Mobile." He was holding a new mobile for himself and has another in a cover.

Tanu just smiled getting back into the car.

Shivaay tried to pass it Anika.

Shivaay "I broke your mobile.Sooo." forwarding it to Anika.

Anika stared at it for a moment and then.

"Shivaay.You broke too many things of mine ,you can't replace everything."

Anika silently sat in the car as it soared to estate and it was dark already.

In estate.By the time they reached mansion.They could see all servants standing outside.All of them were scared for a moment.

Tanu "What are you doing outside?" worried.

"Arjun sir is in kitchen.He sent us all outside."

Tanu "What?How did you let him in kitchen first?" more worried .

Shivaay "Any problem?"

Tanu "Very big." Almost running to kitchen. Shivaay and Anika followed surprised .

There in kitchen things were neat as usual but Tanu is still worried.Arjun is trying to make some dish.

Arjun "You came early?"

Tanu "What are you doing in kitchen?"

Arjun "I was remembering my cooking." Smug face.

Tanu "And we should forget our apetite."

Shivaay "What happened ?" curiously.

Arjun "Is it wrong for me too cook?"

Shivaay "No not at all even I cook few times for my brothers."

Arjun forwarded his hand for hi fi Shivaay gave it normally.

Tanu "Shivaay its not men vs women its Arjun vs Others ."

Shivaay "He can cook right?"

Tanu "And you can write it in your resume in adventure quota I ate item made by Arjun Mahindhar."

Arjun was trying to cover his face by his palm.

Shivaay opened his eyes wide.

Shivaay "So done deal,me and Arjun will make todays dinner and we will make it better ." holding fists for Arjun for fist bump.

Tanu gave a weird look to Anika to confirm is it safe or not.Anika just nodded yes.

Tanu "Shivaay I am warning you he is a dangerous cook."

As both Anika and Tanu went outside Tanu is yet scared of his cooking.

Shivaay "Its really weird.You don't know how to cook."

Arjun was about to speak but just dropped the idea.

Arjun "I learnt myself I mean I never had to cook my mon used to.When I started journey I just eat anything based on my hunger half cooked raw all that.Taste hardly mattered when I was hungry.But I felt good making my own food with limited resources .Tanu didn't like it ?"

Shivaay can't really understand the situation.

Arjun "When it ended Tanu won't even let me boil eggs." Trying to remember the previous mess he created in same.

Shivaay was smiling amused such a perfect man ,no one could be that perfect.Shivay thought Tanu is incidentally not helping him in cooking part.

Shivaay for a moment confused whether he should try helping him or not. He kept something in oven and he slowly sneaked out to ask Tanu.

Shivaay "Should I help him in cooking ."

Tanu "You are smart and its no. It will be intolerable if he learns it too."

Tanu "Now go,else pasta will be tarred by time you go."

Shivaay ran inside just to avert danger as Arjun was looking at it curiously.

Shivaay just couldn't help but smile seeing him.

Shivaay was just observing the couple as they were eating dinner Tanu sat beside her daughter and Anika checking on her eating completely.He didn't notice the pair of eyes looking at him as his were busy seeing the family.

After dinner Shivaay was near his room when he saw Tanu coming above she is having difficulty taking stairs limping but she has same elegance.He saw the cover he was about to give to Anika in her hand he forgot in the car.

Shivaay "She didn't take it."

Tanu "But its hers right,it will reach her."

Shivaay wanted to ask her something but words didn't came out.She sensed it.

Tanu "No problem ,you have time to speak it all."
