Chapter 4

There was a soft knock at the door and I wondered who it could be at this hour. It was 1 0'clock in the morning.

I opened the door to see Anika stand in front of me completely drenched.

She stood there motionless and looked blankly at me.

I urged her to come inside, and she collapsed on the sofa.

"Anika" I reached out to her and supported her. I made her to face me, and her eyes still blank.

Seeing her in this state, scared me out of my wits. I knew something was wrong. Terribly wrong.

I forced Anika to stand up and shook her hard. Thus causing her to snap out of her trance.

Her gaze flicked and I could see fear in her eyes.

"Shivaay." she said in a trembling voice. "Sahil"

"Sahil? What happened to Sahil, Annika? Tell me." I asked her patting her back. She was now freaking me out.

"Please save Sahil, Shivaay. Please." she sobbed.

I quickly got a glass of water and gave it to Anika, "First drink this water and then tell me what happened to Sahil."

"Nahi. If anything happens to Sahil then.." She said pushing the glass of water away.

"Shh. Nothing will happen to Sahil okay? I will not let anything happen to him." I cupped her face.

"Papa - He... I can't even remember anything properly... " He cried helplessly. "But.. Papa hit Sahil on his head.. And.. A lot of blood.. Shivaay..." she trembled as she the sight of her little brother bleeding to death flashed in front of her eyes.

I entered the house as quietly as possible. But accidentally my hand hit the vase near by causing it to shatter into pieces.

"Who's there? Anika?" came a rough voice.

I clenched the ends of my dupatta in fear. I walked trembling towards the hall where he usually lies down.

"Woh - Papa I-" Before I could complete I felt a tight slap on my cheek. Hot tears ran down my burning cheek.

'It's okay Anika.' I consoled myself. 'He's drunk. He doesn't mean it. Tomorrow morning everything will be fine.'

"PAPA!" Sahil came out standing between me and our father protecting me from him. "How could you slap Anika didi!"

"Sahil. Do not interfere." He said dangerously.

"Why wouldn't I? I'm her brother. And I will protect her." I kept my hand on his shoulder telling him to go back to his room.

"I'll handle this Sahil." I told him softly.

"No didi. I won't." He was crying now. But he was really angry.

"Whose brother? She is not your sister Sahil! She's a orphan!" Sahil's father yelled.

Fresh tears stung my eyes.

In a spur of moment, Sahil picked up his crutches and started hitting Papa.

"Sahil no!"

Papa got hold of the crutch and grabbed it away from him. He raised his arm to me with it when Sahil pushed me away causing me to fall on the floor as he hit Sahil hard on the head.

"Anika didi!"

Blood drained out of my body to see what had just happened. Sahil had fallen limp on the floor and his head was bleeding profusely.

Cold fear spiraled through my body. It had all happened so fast that I couldn't comprehend it.

I stumbled backwards and ran out of the house.

"Shh. Everything will be fine Anika." I rubbed Anika's back who was now shaking in fear.

Anika pulled away and looked into my eyes. Those eyes which always gave her hope. "Shivaay, please save Sahil. If anything happens to him, I'll die Shivaay." She sobbed.

"But where is Sahil Anika? You left him at home?" I asked her a bit shocked.

"Nahi." She shook her head vigourously. "I called the ambulance and from a distance I saw them take Sahil to the hospital. I-I couldn't stay there Shivaay. I- I was really scared." She started crying again.

I cupped her face, "Anika, let's go to the hospital. How long will you avoid it? Let's face it Anika. And I'm here. We have to see if Sahil is fine." With that I helped Anika up and took her to the hospital.

Note - Hey! I know it's been a really long time since I updated this fiction. Almost a month. I'm extremely sorry for that.

I had thought of scrapping this, but then as a writer I thought that since I started it, I should complete it. No matter what. But then again the title is not relevant to the fiction anymore. So I'd change the title really soon. Or maybe after I finish this.

This chapter may not be very clear. But it might get some clarity after the upcoming chapters.

On that note, please do read and share your views. Positive and negative criticism is welcome. It'll help me to improve. :)

Chapter 5

The days passed by as Anika awaited Sahil's complete recovery. That day when Shivaay and Anika reached the hospital, the doctors had said that there was blood clot in his brain but after finally after 5 crucial hours the doctors declared that he was out of danger. Due to the injury Sahil couldn't speak or even move. He could just hear and see us.

Shivaay and Anika would go to the hospital daily after college and spend the rest of the day with him. Sahil's mom would also come to see him every day in the afternoon and bring food for him.

Anika had tried really hard to maintain her distance from Shivaay. But she failed miserably. They had gotten so close to each her that the moment Shivaay dropped her back home at night, she would start missing him.

"Ouch" Shivaay examined the spot on his index finger where the needle had pricked him. He was cleaning up the table where Anika had made a mess of all the stitching materials available. She had taken up learning stitching to kill time as she waited in the hospital for Sahil to get completely recovered.

"What happened, Shivaay?" Anika who was busy hogging vada pav which Shivaay got her since she hadn't eaten anything since morning, ran and took his hand and looked at it. As the blood was oozing out, she took his finger in her mouth and sucked at the needle prick.

Shivaay looked at Anika intently. He smiled seeing how she cared for him. It was true that 3 years back he had broken her heart. But little did she know that how much it hurt him to do that. He had thought that it was for the best but as months passed by he realised how wrong he was.

When Shivaay realised that they had joined the same college after high school, he was convinced that this was destiny giving him another chance to rectify his mistake. But when Anika ignored him when they had bumped into each other the first day, she had acted like she didn't know Shivaay at all. He lost his hope. A part of him told that she was ignoring him because he had told her that it was best if we stayed away from each other. But the other part told him that it was because she really wanted nothing to do with him anymore. So he maintained his distance and kept a safe watch on her.

But finally when he saw how much of a bad state Anika was in, he couldn't stay away from her. He could see that Anika wanted someone. And he had promised himself that he would be there for her. And he was.

He pulled back his finger as Anika looked at him confused. "Eww Anika. Did you just..?"

Anika giggled as she understood what had irked Shivaay. She grabbed the first aid box and found a band aid.

As she bandaged Shivaay's finger she said, "I'm sorry. It was a reflex action. I know its gross and stuff but that's what my mom does when a needle pricks her finger. So even I just sucked it so that your finger stops bleeding."

"Anika you know how much I hate..."

"I know you're really hygienic and stuff. I'm sorry okay. There you go. Your finger is fine now." She said as he closed the first aid box and placed it back on the shelf.

Before he could say anything further, Anika left the room flashing him her khidkitod smile.

"Yeh ladki bhi na." Shivaay muttered to himself as he turned towards Sahil who had a small smile on his face. Shivaay went to him and ruffled his hair.

"Shivaay!" Shivaay jumped as Anika suddenly yelled.

"Wha-What happened Anika?" He asked confused.

"Stop the car!" she said seriously.

"But why?"

"Just stop!" And the car came to a halt. Shivaay looked at her worried.

"Actually I - That." She said sheepishly. Shivaay followed her gaze and saw a Kulfi stand nearby.

Shivaay opened his mouth to say something but Anika had already scrambled out of the car and made her way towards the Kulfiwala.

Shivaay rolled his eyes and followed her.

"Two kulfis, bhaiya."

"I don't want any Anika."

"I know."

"What? Then why did you order two?"

"Umm. For myself?"

Shivaay folded his arms and was intently watching Anika savoring her kulfis. She had one in each hand and took turns to eat both.

On feeling Shivaay's gaze on her she raised her eyebrows.

"Aapko chahiye?"

"No. Roadside food.."

"I know. I know. That's why I didn't even bother to ask you if you wanted one." she said. "I knew Shivaay Singh Oberoi would never eat road-"

Before she could complete Shivaay grabbed a kulfi from her hand and had started eating it.

Anika looked at him her eyes wide in shock.

"One more bhaiya." Shivaay ordered.

"O bete ki! Aap kulfi- Apne-" She stuttered.

He smiled his playful smile and said pointing towards her kulfi, "It's melting."

Anika tried to eat it, but it had already melted. She threw the stick away and went back and sat in the car without another word.

Shivaay paid the kulfi wala and he went back and sat in the car. He looked at Anika who was clearly mad at him. Well, not really.

"Gussa ho, Anika?" Instead of replying Anika turned away and looked outside the window.

Shivaay stopped the car in front of Anika's house and before he could tell anything to Anika she jumped out of the car and went back home.

AN - Hola! So again I'm very late. But now I'm gonna finish this SS in maybe 2-4 chapters. I already have the next chapter ready so I'll post it soon. But the response I got for the previous chapter of this story was really really low. I don't know what's wrong. Maybe the storyline isn't interesting anymore.? Or maybe it's because I haven't been been very punctual on updating this fiction. Please please do tell me your views or tell me what I am doing wrong. :)
