Shivika SS: I'm With You! (Part 6 page 15 on 23/08/17)

She was standing numbly in the middle of Oberoi mansion while everyone was busy in degrading her character. Questions were being raised on her upbringing. She was being accused for worst and none of the member stood for her.

Those people who were begging for forgiveness few days back for not believing her, promising her that it won't be happening ever, they will be listening to her side of story first before concluding anything. They were now standing forgetting everything, humiliating her.

She stood there like statue.

She lifted her tearful eyes towards all the people who were now looking at her disgustingly.

She looked towards her badiMa who always have stood up for truth, pleading her to listen to her once.

"Nahi Anika mujhse tum koi umeed mat rakho...Jo harkat tumne ki hai uske baad to mujhe khudse nafrat ho rahi hai ki maine tumhe Shivay ke saath apne rishte ko ek mauka deneke liye kaha...Tum itna girogi ye maine soacha nahi tha...chi" Jhanvi replied in a way as if talking to her disgusts her.

"Ye Ladki hamare dono Beto ko ghuma rahi hai jethaniji, beshram kahiki... "

"Ek or Shivay aur dusri or Daksh, ek saath dono ke saath ...O my mata! mujhe to bolne bhi sharam aatihai aur ye hai, besharmi ki hadde paar kar chuki hai...Aur ab yeha chupchap khadi hai..."

"Iski parvarish hi aise hai, Maine kaha nahi tha is Ladki ko is ghar me mat lavo...Par koi meri suntan kaha hai...Ab dekhlo natija..." Pinki said in venom dripping tone.

She felt as if someone poured acid on her ears. Listening to the words of both ladies who were showering her with the love sometime before, she asked herself how someone can change overnight? Tears started flowing through her eyes. Those two woman whom she see as mother figure, call them Ma were now crushing her beliefs of respecting someone, loving someone.

Gauri said supporting all ladies, "Omkara ji ko ek waqt pe aapne sahi raasta dikhaya tha to aaj aap kaise galat raaste pe chali gayi Anika bhauji? Aapko kya laga aapki harkate chup jayengi?"

Her vision blurred with tears. She didn't know what she did and why everyone was saying those hurtful words to her. That's when Ragini stepped forward she raised her hand to slap Anika hard but her hand halted in air when someone grabbed it.

"How dare you?" He asked angrily jerking her hand away from his hold. "Why you all are blaming her she has done nothing wrong." He said to everyone present there.

Daksh stood in front of Anika shielding her. Anika felt nothing but the sheer disgust being protected by the one who have always been reason of miseries in her life. Today also he is the one because of whom she was suffering.

"Daksh tum is mamle aur Anika dono se door raho. Akhir khoon to apna rang dikhayega..." His mother said to him.

"Aap bilkul sahi keh rahi hai Mom...Kyo kar rahi ho Anika tum aisa...Maine tumse kaha tha na agar tum chahti ho to Daksh ki jindagi me wapis aajao mai unse dur chali jaaungi. Tab tumne inkaar kar diya aur phir ye sab?" Ragini shouted on her, shedding crocodile tears.

"Shivay ne kya bigada hai tumhara Anika? Wo to hamesha tumhare saath khada raha chahe wo rasta sahi ho ya galat, to tumse pyaar karne ki itni badi saja kyo de rahi ho? Kyo uske dil ke saath khel rahi ho. Bade bhai ki patni uske pith piche uske chote bhai se najdikiya bada rahi hai...log kya kahenge? Shivay ko jab pata chalega to use kaisa lagega kabhi soacha hai tumne?" Ragini asked adding fuel to everyone's anger towards Anika.

Anika felt someone stabbed her heart when Ragini talked this.

Someone humiliating Shivay because of her the thought itself was paining her. Hurting the person who has been her armour, her only family was unsettling her. She felt like killing herself. Her innocent, pure soul was in so much pain. Her fragile heart was broken by her so called family.

"No, no ...Shivay ko koi kuch nahi kahega...Ye sab meri wajah se ho raha hai...Nahi mai unki takleef ki wajah nahi Banugi..."She mumbled to herself shaking her head.

In her trance she started walking backwards.

Her tears have started flowing with more intensity drenching her already tear stricken face.

The hurt, humiliation she received today she didn't deserve that. No one was ready to believe her. They all declared her culprit when in reality she was the victim.

She felt someone holding her arms too roughly. She looked towards the owner of hands. It was his Mom.

Pinki who was controlling her anger in order to not hurt her physically till now stepped forward when she saw her backing away.

She gripped her arms too roughly her nails were digging in Anika's skin but Anika felt nothing. The mental pain she was going through was way much for her heart and mind to handle. She was shivering badly not because of the fury in Pinki's eyes but because of the Shivay's take on whole event. She didn't want him to go though any pain because of her.

Pinki jerked her body roughly. "Ab chup kyo hai...Jawab de...Mera beta to tere pyaar me pagal hai ...Uske saath pyaar ka na sahi par bharose ka rishta to nibhaya hota..."

Leaving her hold she slapped her hard across her face. The force of that slap was so much that Anika's feet stumbled and she fell backwards unable to hold herself. Corner of her lip was bleeding and her cheek was red showing imprints of finger on them.

She felt her head spinning. All the emotional and mental torment she went through drained her. She was left with no energy. Now this physical blow was the last attack on her control over her body. Her control slipped and her vision became blurry.

Last name of the person on her mind was Shivay who was not there. One part of her was relieved that he didn't face any humiliation because of her and another one was craving for his presence, craving for his support, his strength, his unconditional love. She always ran from his love but today this much of hatred left her with yearning of his love. She closed her eyes anticipating hard fall.

But before she could hit the hard floor someone held her lifeless body within his arms.
