Anika kneeled next to Shivaay in tears.
Gauri: Someone call an ambulance... - scared, she shouted over all the noise
Shivaay: Ani... - whispered
Anika moved closer to hear what he was saying; she was trembling all over.
Shivaay: Kissi ko...kissi ko mat...batana... - choking -...mat batana...ke yeh...yeh kisne...kiya...
Anika cried uncontrollably as she felt Shivaay's body sinking.
Shivaay: I...lo...I love...love you... - passed out
Anika held onto him and cried while the teachers moved everyone away; Gauri and Bhavya held onto Anika as she cried uncontrollably.
Gauri: Anika...kuch nahi hoga... - holding onto her
Anika: - through tears - Usne kahan...ke...ke kissi ko...mat batana...ke yeh sab...sab kisne kiya...
Bhavya: Anika...yeh sab tum mat socho...don't worry...
Anika watched Shivaay as the teacher kneeled beside him carrying out first aid treatment while they waited for the paramedics who arrived five minutes later. She watched as they checked him and placed him on a stretcher; they made sure he was secure before carrying him out of the room and down the stairs. Anika rushed after them crying while Gauri and Bhavya followed; the teachers warned them to stay back but they ignored. While they took him into the ambulance the teachers stopped them.
Gauri: Please sir...just let her go...
Teacher: I can't do that I'm sorry you'll have to stay here...
Bhavya: Sir please...she's family...she should be with him and be there when his parents arrive...
Teacher: - thought for a moment - Okay...just Anika...you two will stay here...
Bhavya: Yes sir...thanks...
At the same time Rudra and Omkara ran towards the van.
Gauri: Did you get them?
Rudra: Lost them... - out of breath
Omkara: Anika...don't worry...we're all here for you... - seriously
Shivaay was now in the van and the gang had told Anika not to worry that he will be fine and they will sort everything out here. She got into the van and sat beside him tears still rolling down her cheeks, the teacher sat in the front and a paramedic sat at the back checking over Shivaay. They whisked Shivaay towards the hospital quickly and straight into A&E; Anika sat with the teacher in the waiting room.
Anika: - thinking as tears rolled out of her eyes uncontrollably - What is happening...Shivaay... - an image of Shivaay flashed into her mind when he was pushed through the glass -...Shivaay...- she cried some more -...please make my Shivaay better... -she prayed silently - ...nothing should happen to him...if anything happens to him I won't ever forgive myself...yeh sab mere wajah se huwa...yeh sab Daksh... - anger filled her thoughts and more tears rushed out of her eyes
Anika could feel her heart beating loudly as she thought about Shivaay in the emergency room. She thought about how this all happened; why it happened and who did it. She became angry at herself as she thought that Daksh did this to get her back; Shivaay was in this condition because of her. Her mind was filled with a new bunch of thoughts which made her feel worst; she sat there for over half hour thinking until she could hear voices around her; she was forced out of her thoughts.
Malika: Anika yeh sab kya huwa?
Anika looked up to see Malika looking worried and Pinky in silent tears; both wanting answers; tears ran down Anika's cheeks and she wasn't able to say anything.
Teacher: Please calm down...I'm Shivaay's teacher...please sit down... - offering his seat
Pinky sat down but looked at him wanting to know how this happened.
Teacher: This was an accident...I'm extremely sorry to be giving you this news...
Malika: Could you please tell us how this happened...
Teacher: There were intruders in the school...I'm sorry I was not there to witness what had happened...there were no teachers around to prevent this from happening...but from my knowledge there were four intruders who had attacked Shivaay and his friends...
Pinky and Anika were both in tears and the teacher had stopped talking.
Teacher: I'm sorry... - then to Malika - ...could you please step out of the room for a minute...it is not appropriate to go through in detail what has just happened...
Malika: Sure...
Malika and the teacher walked out of the room and the teacher filled Malika in with the details of what had happened telling her that investigations are being carried out and they will find out very soon who was behind this. After ten minutes Malika thanked the teacher for taking care of the situation; he left and Malika walked back into the room to see both ladies still in tears.
Malika: Anika...batao yeh sab kisne kiya...
Anika: ... - not able to speak - Dii...
Anika was in no condition to talk and once again started to cry now with hiccups. Pinky was in a worst state as she kept looking over at the emergency room and choking slightly worried about her son. Malika decided it was not the right time to talk about this; she got some water for Pinky and asked Anika to come out of the room once Pinky had calmed down.
Malika: Anika please behave yourself... - as they stepped outside - ...just stop crying... - angrily
Anika: But dii...yeh sab...ach-achank... - crying - ...Sh-Shiv-aay...
Anika hiccupped trough tears and Malika held onto her arm.
Malika: Anika...listen to me...control yourself...if you cry like this what will happen to Mummy Ji...her son is in there...we should be strong for her...if she sees you crying like this what will she be thinking...
Anika hiccupped through tears; her eyes were blurry and her head was throbbing with pain.
Malika: I can't control both of you...she's in a really bad state... - angrily - ...if you can't control yourself just go from here...go home...
At the same time Siddharth and Shakti walked towards them.
Siddharth: Where is he...has the doctor said anything yet... - to Malika
Malika: Nahi...they haven't said anything yet...he's still in emergency...
Pinky: Pinky kahan hain? - worried
Malika: Woh andhar hain... - pointing inside the waiting room
The three of them walked into the waiting room towards Pinky while Anika stayed outside and leaned against the wall; tears still falling from her eyes. Half an hour later the doctor walked into the waiting room towards the Oberoi family. Anika stayed by the door to listen.
Doc: It was a severe injury and if he was not brought here on time things could have been worst...we will wait for twenty four hours until he wakes up...he will have to stay for a week under observation before we can discharge him...but there's nothing to worry about at the moment...he's stable...you will be able to see him after fifteen minutes...he'll be shifted into the ward...
Anika's heart had finally stopped thumping so hard and was going back to its normal pace after hearing this. She walked away slowly with lots on her mind; she made her way out of the building towards the nearest bus stop and took the bus home. Her mind was buzzing as she stepped off of the bus and walked through the main road and into the estate; luckily she had her keys and phone in her jacket pocket as she had left all her belongings at school.
She made her way to her home, she walked in and closing the door behind her she switched on the light in the hall. Walking in a trance she moved through the kitchen and into the living room, glancing at the clock on the wall she read the time; twenty five minutes past four. She leaned against the wall of the dark living room and sunk to the floor; she pulled her knees up to her face and hugged them tight letting the tears roll out of her eyes uncontrollably; she wailed like a baby as the event of the day passed through her mind.
Her mind flashed with images of the day making her feel depressed and miserable.
Ram: Anika beta...an emergency has come up and we need to go up north of England for some time...
*
Saakshi: Anika, there's something but we can't say right now...we might have to stay for a week...
*
Anika: If... - stuttering -...If we had to tell our parents about our relationship...you think they would agree?
*
Shivaay: - squeezing her hand slightly - Anika...don't think too much...
*
Anika: - smiled - In five days time it will be a year...
*
Shivaay: But Shivaay nothing...c'mon Anika...we can do it...we're not doing anything wrong...we're not lying...we're just not making it public...that's all...don't worry...
*
Shivaay: I love you...
*
Anika: Shiiivvvaaayyy!!
*
Shivaay: Kissi ko...kissi ko mat...batana... - choking - ...mat batana...ke yeh...yeh kisne...kiya...
*
Shivaay: I...lo...I love...love you... - passed out
These thoughts repeated through her mind for over two hours as she stayed on the floor curled up into a ball. The tears had stained her cheeks and dried up; she had cried until she could cry no more. Her eyes were blood shot red and she felt extremely weak; she slowly opened her eyes but could see nothing as the room was pitch black. She shuffled her body a little but it was really stiff and she shut her eyes in pain and slowly eased out her legs. She sat up and leaned her back onto the wall still hugging her knees. Her eyes had focused on to objects in the room as the light from the nearest lamppost shone into the room, but her head was throbbing forcing her to shut her eyes again.
Anika stayed like this for another half an hour until she almost jumped out of her skin as the doorbell rang. Fear filled her body and mind as she had just realized that she was home alone, in a dark room late in the evening. She slowly stood up and walked towards the window to see who it was; her head felt really heavy and she felt slightly dizzy as she had nothing to eat all day. She looked through the window to see a lady standing there but she could not see her face; she wiped her face as she walked through the kitchen to the front door. The doorbell was rung a second time just as Anika opened the door; she was surprised to see her neighbour standing there.
Aunty: Arre...Anika beta tum ho...
Anika looked at her with a confused expression.
Aunty: Nahi mere kehne ka matlab yeh hain ke main jaanti thi ke tumhare mama papa gaye the...maine light dikhi to socha ke main ahkar dekhu ke ghar par kaun hain...tum apne dii ke ghar nahi gayi?
Anika was about to say no but she carried on talking.
Aunty: Tum mere ghar par akar kahlo...
Anika: Na...nahi aunty...main yahein par kuch kahlongi...
Aunty: Nahi...bilkul nahi...chalo mere saath...
Anika: Aunty koi baat nahi...main kahlongi...
Aunty: Mujhe kuch nahi suna...chalo...
Anika: Theek hain aunty...main change karke aati hoon...
Aunty: Theek hain...jaldi aana...
She turned and walked away while Anika closed the door; she leaned against it and closed her eyes, her head felt like it was going to topple over her body. She opened her eyes slowly and made her way upstairs to her room; quickly getting dressed into something comfortable she went downstairs into the living room to get her jacket. She looked into the pocket and took out her phone; she saw the little green light blinking and she slide opened the screen to see that there were so many missed calls from each of her friends; she locked the phone and took her keys with her.
Crossing the road she stepped up to the house and pressed the bell; suddenly she realised what she had done and turned on her heel but the front door opened and her neighbour stood there and brought her into the house and showed her into the living room; she sat there hoping that she would not have to stay long. She sat with Anika for sometime then left the room saying that she's going to set the table for dinner leaving Anika to sit with her youngest daughter Simran. At the same time her husband walked into the house and into the living room.
Uncle: Oh...hi Anika beta...long time...
Anika: - feeling very awkward - Hi uncle...
Uncle: How are you?
Anika: I'm fine... - forcing a smile
Simran: Dad...Anika Didi's joining us for dinner today...
Uncle: That's lovely...where are your parents?
Simran: - answered before Anika could open her mouth - They had to go somewhere for a week...
Anika:- forcing a smile and thinking - This family...they ask too many questions and answer for you...
Uncle: Oh okay...well excuse me...I'll just be back...
He left the room once again leaving Anika to sit with Simran who kept asking question after question making Anika boil with anger. After about half an hour Aunty came back into the room and told her to come into the dining room; she went into a room and called her husband and then settled around the table. They each placed something on Anika's plate telling her she had to eat everything; Anika once again forced a smile and slowly started to eat. She was about to put her first mouth full into her mouth when the front door slammed shut making her jump; they all turned to look at the dining room door but Anika; she knew who it was and all she wanted right now was to walk out of this house.
Daksh walked into the room but did not see Anika as her back was facing him but he did notice a change; his curiosity was soon cleared as his mother told him that they had a guest.
Aunty: Daksh...dheko Anika ayi hain...chalo kahna kahne bet jao hamare saath...
Daksh moved closer to the table; he walked towards the only empty chair between his sister and Anika. He saw her face but she deliberately ignored him. He sat down; she knew he was in shock to see her there but said a simple hi before turning to his food. Dinner went on longer than Anika wished with the members of this family bombarding her with questions. After dinner they sat her in the living room while they watched their favourite Indian comedy show. Anika frowned as they laughed; she just wanted to get out of here; she could feel Daksh's eyes burning into her and she hated this feeling. Finally she found an excuse as the commercial came on.
Anika: Umm...mujhe chalna chahiye... - getting up - ...thank you aunty...khana bohot acha tha...
Simran: Anika Didi...you can't go now...come with me...I want to show you my room...
Anika: Simran...not today...maybe next time...
Simran: No...that's not fair Didi...please...please...please... - she begged
Anika: - annoyed she gave in - Theek hain...
Simran took Anika upstairs to her room; she sat her down onto her bed and went through her dolls and doll house. Simran forced Anika to play with her saying that she never has anyone come and play with her toys. Anika; as much as she just wanted to scream and leave this house she couldn't say no and decided to just play for some time. They played for ten minutes then Simran ran out of the room saying she needed to use the toilet; Anika saw this as a perfect opportunity to leave. She got up and walked to the door but stepped backwards as Daksh was standing in the doorway moving towards her; fear took over her and she stepped back; he closed the door behind him.
Anika: Let...let me go...
Daksh: Anika...
Anika: I don't want to hear anything just let me go...
Daksh: Anika...please...just hear me out once...I'm sorry...I never meant to hurt you...I just love you...
Anika: You don't know the meaning of love...
Daksh: I said I'm sorry...
Anika: That doesn't change anything...
Daksh: Anika... - moving closer he lifts his hand to touch her shoulder but she moves away
Anika: Don't you dare touch me...I hate you...
Daksh: I only want you...
Anika: You'll never get me...not after what you did today...
Daksh: I...
Anika: I don't want to hear a word from you...just pray...pray for your life... - tears coming to her eyes - ...because if anything... - now crying - ...anything happens to my Shivaay...I swear...
Daksh: Ani...
Anika: I swear...if anything happens to my Shivaay...you won't ever live in peace...I'll file a case on you...I'll make your life a living hell...pray for Shivaay...and pray for your life...
Anika was fully in tears; she moved away from him and ran out of the room; she made her way down the stairs and left the house. She crossed the road and walked into her house. Slamming the door behind her she leaned against it and slowly slid to the floor tears rolling out of her eyes; she cried herself asleep at the front door thinking about Shivaay...
That's all for Part 4!
