Dear readers,chapter 3 mostly includes anika's past and how she met jai.more of emotional pov if anika and flashbacks.. hope u find it good enough to read.
Chapter 3:
Anika stood still.it was not that she was afraid of shivaay,as she was not wrong at any end.she was just uncomfortable to share the most important part of her life with shivaay.she had no idea how he would react to it.here,she was struggling to know if he would even accept her as the love of his life,how could she judge if he would accept her past,her jai,her family..
Yes,the silent listener was none other than jai.. anika loved him more than anything n everything in this world.. she could rather say that he himself was her world,along with sahil of course.. but sahil came into her life when she was adopted by his parents..
Jai ,however had been with her from the start .. as long as she could go back in her memory lane.. even before chutki was snatched away from her..jai was there beside her.. when chutki left her.. her world crashed.. .it was jai who cried along with her and consoled her at the same.he stood strong as a pillar for his Anu..
As far as anika could remember .. chutki and she had been a part of an orphanage... some workers in the orphanage were cruel and inhuman.. they tortured children when they disobeyed orders.. however this was not the case with all workers.. they used to cry when tortured.. they were tied and kept in a dark dungy rooms without food for days.. they were so small that their little heart started fearing darkness to an extent that it led to panic attacks.. anika would always take chutkis punishment as well..
Flashback-
It was yet another day when anika was locked up in the dark hell.she was crying like hell,shivering..
On the other hand,a little boy heard her cries from outside,he instantly started beating the door.. expecting it to open up.. he called for his father but he was a little far away..talking to some other children... But the cries continued.. he could not wait..
He jumped inside the room from a little window locked from outside.. as he opened the window.. he brought light with him.. anika was shivering.. as the little boy advanced her.. she started panicking.. thinking he will also hurt her.. but what jai Did surprised her.. he hugged her so tight ,that even air could not pass through.. even when our little anika resisted.. he did not loosen his hold .. and said softly yet determined.. " m here,and m not going to leave u alone everr"
Annika looked up to meet his eyes.. for the first time in her life.. she saw pure love,care and she knew he meant every word he said..
She hugged him again and the little boy rubbed her back to soothe her.
He got up,forwarded his hand.annika looked in his eyes.. and took his hand.and followed him silently from ""darkness to light... ""
Since then.. they have been inseparable.. and as little jai promised.. he had always been with her no matter what.. they were soulmates...
* Jai pov and feelings will b described in following chapters..
* Intro about Jai's family in following chapters.. a lot more to b revealed.
Present day:
Anika turned.. and met shivaays glare.. she just said,"a friend u don't know about.. Usk liye aj imp din hai"..
Before shivaay could interrogate further.. pinky ji entered and took his hand dragging him outside," it's urgentss. "
Shivaay said," mai thodi der me ata hoo.. "not taking his eyes off anika even for a second.but pinky was adamant.. and pulled him outside..
When their staring session was going on..there was no fear in anika's eyes.. but he could sense her uncomfortable.. for anika,she was just short of words..
How could she just tell shivaay about jai in a few words.. few sentences... the bond they shared was beyond explanation.. and justifications.. for the world likes things to b simple.. it can as simply b termed " friendship" .. .it was the thing closest to say.
After shivaay left.. anika heaved a sigh of relief.. and went for bath.. expecting things to get better,clearer.. and that too ,soon.
