Suffocating Silence Chapter-6 **IMPORTANT CHAPTER** Caution-emotional... Last night was bit better for shivay as for whole night he was able to see anika sleeping peacefully with riya in her room from the door!!
He totally was able to see how beautifully both mother and daughter were sleeping giving each other a comfort which they haven't ever shared with anyone else and would never even share!!
Shivay clicked pictures of Those few moments when they both cuddled in each other arms, there was even a picture in which both anika and riya had a smile which made them look angelic in the moonlight!!
Shivay was sitting on the couch rubbing his watery eyes and watching all the pictures he clicked the previous night when he saw riya coming down stairs in her night suit and all messed up hairs rubbing her eyes which were streaming with tears
Shivay threw his phone on the couch and grabbed riya making her sit on his lap
Shivay's POV
"daddy mumma chali gayi She said sinking her head in my chest
For a moment I felt my heart beat stop, i was not able to think anything!!
"wo..wo..mumm...mumma nahin gayi wo yahin kahin hogi i stammering hard and trying my best not breakdown in front of my daughter
"aap sach bol rahe ho naa she said lifting her head to my chin and looking at my nervous face with her glittering eyes!!
Before I could answer to her question I heard anika calling riya's name from the end of stairs!! In no second riya jumped out of lap and ran to her mother hugging her hard!!
"mumma mujhe laga aap chale gaye she said sobbing in her arms
I could feel anika too was having tears in her eyes
She pulled riya out from her embrace and assured her she was not going anywhere
Anika's POV
My eyes were turning more and more red, it was really hard for me to even look at riya's face and assure her I was not leaving!! My heart started beating faster when I observed shivay's constant gaze at my face...
" riya...baby go and take a bath I said stammering in my own soul
As riya left I too stood up to leave but was stopped by shivay who uttered my name with a great fear in his voice
I turned to face him to which he responded by holding both of my hands I was shaken a bit with his actions as he even had tears in his eyes
"mujhe..mujhe laga ki tum..tumm... he said with a lot stammer preent in his voice .. I totally understood what he wanted to say I was feeling disgusting right at that moment..thinking that is this what he think of me
"u thought I left I said with disgust!!
"is that..is that...what you think of me shivay I jerked his hands away stepping a step back from his with a tear drop rolling down my cheek...before he could speak something
I started speaking!!
"don't you dare think I am like you!! I am not selfish shivay
"I am not selfish anika he said this with a lot of guilt in his eyes..but I knew he was lying because I have never seen a person more selfish than him
I rolled my tear filled eyes away!!
"do u really think I would trust you!! Maine apni zindagi mein aapse bada selfish insaan kabhi nahin dekha...for ur selfish motive you..you tried to sent me to a mental hospital...apne selfish motive ke liye aapne mujhe aur meri beti ko ek doosre se door kardiya!! Aaj aapki wajah se meri beti ko ye dar lagta hai ki mai use chod ke chali jaungi I said my heart out that time!! Tears were flowing out of my eyes as if they were some streams of perennial rivers!!
It is shivay because of whom I cannot live peacefully!! It is shivay because of whom I had to quit my dancing carrier and come up with a business company so that I could take riya's custody!!
"aap chahe wishwaas karo ya na karo par aap selfish ho shivay!! I said sobbing when he once again held me by my shoulders
Hearing this he pulled me towards him gripping my shoulders badly making them ache I was wincing a bit in pain but it had no effect on him
He was looking at me with his totally red eyes
"I wanted you to be secure
I wanted your dignity to be safe
I wanted our daughter to live
I cry every night just because I regret my decisions
If you still feel that I am selfish than yes you are right
I am selfish because I want you to come back to me
I am selfish because I love you like mads and cannot let you go
I am selfish because...I want...I want our family to be complete
Few tear drops rolled down my cheek listening his words but it is..its is really hard to trust him anymore!!
I was not able to stand here anymore so just jerked him away and ran to a guest room shutting the door behind I sank in to the bed crying on the flashes of the darkest days of my life!!
Shivay's POV
I went to my room my eyes were even flowing with tears buit before I would break down my phone rang..it was Om's call so I picked it up
"shivay...hamari flight delay ho gayi hai we both would be coming there by tomorrow 5 AM OM TOLD ME BUT ALL I COULD DO WAS MUMBLE A Hmm
He understood that I was not in a right state of mind that time so he asked me but I switched off my cell
Throwing it on the bed I left to the inner part of the house which was now abandoned!! That was actually the most beautiful part of their house it started with a huge door leading to staircase down the staircase there were few rooms one of them was a master bed room which had a window at the ceiling which opened in the garden another was a nursery and another one was a beautiful rehearsal hall
shivay went in flashback watching that place once again
*flashback*
"how is it shivay isn't it like exactly what we imagined said anika wrapping her arms around shivay's neck!!
"beautiful bilkul tumhari tarah he said wrapping hands round her waist and giving a quick peck on her cheek
"chalo aab zara apna bed room toh dekhle he said winking at her
She totally understood his naughty intentions and pushed him away...they both started running in the hall but shivay took a hold of anika's hand and pulled her to him with a great force making her bump in his chest!!
Both of them were smiling wide...shivay carried her in his arms and took her to their bedroom
*Flashback over*
Tears rolled down my cheek as I came back of the flashback!! Nothing was changed in that place except one thing that now it was all dark and it was no more like what i and anika imagined it to be!!
*narration*
Shivay found a music system there in the hall so he plugged in his pen drive and switched the song on to dance his heart out in the place he once loved
At the other side anika came down of the stairs and went to the back side of house where she knew a rehersall hall was situated!! She really needed dance that time she too plugs in her phone to the music system playing asong which would help her
Dance was, is and will always be the best way to express emotions for shivay and anika!!
They danced their whole heart out the last night so that nothing could bother them sleeping the previous night..by luck it was true and they both slept perfectly last night..
The next morning when anika woke up she didn't found riya in her room and when she thought to ask to shivay about riya's whereabouts..one of then servant told her that they both went at the airport pick up Gauri and Om...she also told that they would be reaching their in half an hour Anika decided to go and take a bath before they all arrive at home!!
Anika took a quick hot water bath and came out wearing a simple ye beautiful white frock!! She was looking very beautiful that day...it was maybe the happiness of meeting her both best friends after 3 long years!! (wondering why three??? Well you will come to know soon)
she was combing her hairs when she heard few sounds coming from downstairs...she could hear Gauri's overwhelming laughter!! anika could feel her heart skip a beat hearing Gauri's voice... don't know why but a tear drop rolled down her left eye... rubbing it quickly she fixed a smile on her face and left the room...she went at the edge of stairs...and saw them all sitting there...Om and Gauri talking with pihu while shivay looking at anika from down as he was actually waiting for her to comedown
Just than...Gauri observed where shivay was looking and turned in the same direction...her mouth fell open and she stood up facing anika who was standing upstairs...she was watching anika as if she has actually seen a ghost all she could do was whisper om's name...following Gauri, Om too looked in her direction his reaction too was exactly the same as that of Gauri's...anika slowly came down of the stairs and went to them... she now stood in front of them
She had tears in her eyes and gauri and om too were watching her with glistening eyes
Just to break the silence
Anika spoke stammering pointing with her finger on Gauri's open mouth "Gau...Gauri wo..wo machar an.andar but before she could complete her sentence Gauri hugged her as tightly as possible!! Her grip was too tight and anika too hugged her with utmost comfort!!
"I missed you anika Gauri said whispering in deep breaths and heavy sob
"I missed you too gauri" anika too whispered in their never breaking hug!!
Watching them neither shivay nor Om could stop their silent smiles!!
Anika slowly separated from Gauri and without even wasting a second she hugged her another best friend Om!!
Shivay had never seen anika being soo happy after she has returned in his life!! Sensing something that may happen in any moment shivay sent riya to her room!!
Anika separated from him too
Gauri and Om were now watching shivay with questioning eyes!!
Anika wiped her tears and said "mai..mai riya ko dekh ke aati hoon
As anika left Gauri broke for a second and then wiping her tears she came to shivay
"what is this shivaay bhai" she spoke grinding her teeth...she was extremely angry with shivay!!
"aap unhe kyu laye yahan par? Taki aap unhe phir se hurt karo? she said looking straight in his eyes!!
Her eyes were all with both tears and anger!! Shivay wasn't shocked because it was exactly the same reaction which he thought he would get from Gauri..
"Gauri listen...
Gauri stepped back when she was pulled softly by Om!! She hugged him lightly and sat on the sofa with him...her head rested on his chest and she was constantly looking at shivay to continue who seemed to lost somewhere
"would u...u care to explain? Om said rolling his eyes watching him standing as statue!!
Om's words brought shivay back to his feet from all what he was thinking!! Shivay started telling them each and everything about how he felt her presence on riya's birthday and how all she came here with each and every detail...not even missing a single thing from their hug to his kiss on her forehead...he told them everything because this time he really didn't wanted them to go far from him thinking he was mistaken once again!!
Hearing this Gauri got a bit consoled but was more worried from inside thinking how shivay would deal loosing riya as she was only the soul support he had ever had after anika left!
At the same moment Om was thinking about riya..as she is the one who had to suffer the most!!
After a few minutes of silence Gauri left to meet anika and sensing shivay's condition Om took shivay to the garde!!
Gauri entered riya's room as she expected anika to be there but to her surprise anika was not there
"kya hua chachi? riya asked her with the most sweet voice ever...
Gauri smilled at her and asked her about her mother... riya told her that anika left before 5 minutes...gauri just whispered a hmm and left riya's room
Om was walking in the garden with shivay...
"shivay tu thik hai na? Om said with utmost concern in his voice
"nahin Om whispered shivay
"Om anika yahan par mujhse meri beti ko le jane aayi hai!!
"but tune bhi toh yahi kiya tha, right?
"par Om us time circumstances kuch aur the!! shivay said stopping at once and facing him!!
"shivay...I know us time kya hua tha but, wo anika hai...itni easily give up nahin karegi...wo apni jagah thik hai kyunki use sach nahin pata!!
"Om wo sach sun ne ko taiyaar hi nahin hai
"shivay toh use bata!! Mai bas tujhe itna hi suggest kar sakta hoon ...ki tu atleast iss baar har mat maniyo
"Hmmm shivay whispered looking down
"just get her back shivay He said patting his shoulder
"And han iss baar please use hurt mat kariyo
Shivay looked at him and gave him an assuring smile!!
*************************
Gauri went to the terrace and to her luck this time she was right on guessing where she may actually be!!
"anika Gauri whispered her name when she saw her sitting on the swing hugging her knees lost in her own thoughts!!
Anika heard her and stood up correcting her dress and fixing a fake smile on her face
Anika went near her and hugged her softly whispering a congratulation to her in her ear which made a sad Gauri smile!!
She separated from her and they both sat on the swing!!
"anika, ye dekho naa sirf ek month mein kitna baby bump aagya hai mera gauri said making a cute pout which made anika go in fits of laughter as she remembered that it was her dialogue and her expression the time when she had riya in her stomach!!
Anika hit her on her head the same way Gauri did to her that time!!
Gauri was giggling too...when they both stopped laughing...a seriousness surrounded the air
"Gauri mai. Before anika could speak anything Gauri stopped her
"anika tumhara jo bhi decision hai..i will always support you!! I know ki tum already bahut hurt ho chuki hoo...jo kuch tumhare sath hua agar..agar wo sab mere sath hota toh mai shayad jee nahin pati!!
Gauri said making anika to go in flashback
Gauri and Om were running upstairs as fast as they can followed by few doctors!!!
And as they stepped on the terrace of that tall building they became hell shocked..their soul was shaking from the core!!
"anika...anika please get down... said gauri
"anika mai tumse request karta hoon please neeche aa jao!! Om was pleading her even more!!
"hahhahaa!!! Ku aaoon? Mai toh pagal hoon and is earth ka boojh bhi toh hoo...mai apne bhagwaan ji ke paas jaa rahi hoon
Said anika walking on the highest wall of the building in her blue hospital robes,messy hairs and stains of blood on her body with a picture in hand that was obviously the picture of no one else than riya!!
"anika...dekho ye karne se kuch nahin hoga plzzz plzz neeche aao!! Gauri said taking a step forward in her direction!!
"Gauri mujhe rokne se kuch nahin hoga I am going
She was about to jump when Om souted speaking "anika stop...for riya..tumhe uski kasam please ruk jao
Anika paused at the moment and looked at Om!!
"get down tumhe riya ki ksam anika!!hearing this anika stepped down of the wall but in no second she fell on the terrace floor unconscious of her senses
Anika came out of her one of the worse flashbacks!!
She was painting badly...gauri started rubbing anika's back with tears in her eyes constantly muttering sorry!!
"anika I promise that this time wont let you suffer Gauri said hugging her
