He moved closer to Anika. All you need is the property to be divided isn't it? he questioned.
Yes !
Om, Ru are you willing to transfer all our property in the name of Anika? Shivaay asked facing them.
Since Anika had not taken any promise, they decided that to be the last resort to prevent their bhabhi from leaving their bade bhaiya. After all, how could they let the woman who could understand their brother, better than them walk away, when she wanted him as much as him. Will the gods ever forgive them?
Yes, Shivaay ! Everything should be bhabhis Om said.
Haan bhaiya, O is right. Rudy supported.
Anika was still silent letting things go as it is. Shivaay knew what her silence meant, her lack of involvement spilled half the beans.
Ok ! next moment, he pulled out his phone and spoke Mishra ! get me the transfer document mentioning transfer of all assets to Anika ! I want it ready by tomorrow ! He screamed into the phone.
No everything to be transferred, got it? He said in response to what was spoken and ended the call.
Shivaay looked at Anika We are not dividing the property, we are transferring everything in your name ! Transfer will be complete by tomorrow and you will continue to be my wife and the daughter-in-law of this family. You will live here ! he said.
She was silent as if she did not hear a word.
Shivaay ! are you mad, this girl is demanding everything and you are ready to give away ! I will not let this happen, you are still saying she is your wife, when you should chase her out? Pinky fumed.
How can I refuse something that my wife has asked me for the first time that too with all her heart? Shivaay said.
Oh my mata, you have not only fallen into the pit, but have pushed us as well. See how greedy she is. Pinky continued to fume.
Shivaay stood silently. Pinky was almost mad, she could not tolerate her son giving attention to Anika, now he is going to give away property. She told herself that silence will spell more trouble.
Shivaay ! I cannot bear this girl anymore ! this moment you must choose between your mother and wife. You just give a nod, I will find you a better girl, equal to our status. This girl is a gold digger, she will run away one day. She will even claim somebody else's child to be yours and take away all the wealth Pinky shouted.
Anika could no longer bear, she broke down with heavy sobs. She had reached her tolerable limit, she did not have the ears to listen to all this. she felt insulted and her relationship with Shivaay was being questioned, what she shared with the man who was god in her eyes was being mocked at.
Gauri had just then returned home from Bareily, when she entered the mansion, hall crowded, she could hear the sobbing and the sound took her gaze towards her Bhaujai. She couldn't digest what she saw. She rushed towards Anika. Bhaujai, what happened, please calm down, don't weep. Please calm down.
Shivaay was fuming inside, he was resisting himself from shouting at his mother, had it been someone else, they would now lie lifeless on the floor. He had lost his calm. Dadi by then rushed to Anika and the help came with a glass of water. Gauri made Anika drink and sat alongside on the floor, while Dadi caressed her head.
See how she is acting, crying and creating a scene. If it were some other woman, she would have ran out of this house. How shameless and stone hearted ! Pinky added more fuel to the fire.
Yes mom, had it been some other lady, she would not have sat here helpless. She would have forgotten that you are my mother and you would have lost dignity. Just because she is Anika, my Anika, who knows how much you mean to me, she is silent. Shocked Pinky looked at her treasure called Shivaay. His hands had wound into a tight fist.
Shivaay, will you speak like this to your mother? Pinky questioned.
If you were not my mother, I would have taken your life by now. You are not only insulting Anika, you are insulting what we share, the relationship is at stake. I did not expect you would fall so low.
Pinky was dumbstruck. Anika couldn't bear the sight, she did not want Shivaay to know his past that still remained as doubt in her mind.
Shivaay, please listen to me. Anika begged.
Shut up Anika, have you lost it? how can you keep quiet when you are being insulted like this? Don't you have anything to say? I did not know when my Anika changed completely. I doubt if it is my Anika who is silent.
See, even now, he is supporting this gold digger, forgetting his mother. I had taken so much pains to create hatred and you are still stuck with her. She is a leech Shivaay, until you throw her out, your life will not improve.
She moved towards Anika and rolled her eyes, Anika, are you shameless? You are still awaiting his sympathy ! if you had even little bit of self-respect, you would not step back into this house.
Aunty, you are talking about shame and family values? Gauri questioned putting everybody into state of shock.
Younger gold digger is supporting the older one, see how beautifully they are acting. Pinky said.
Mind your language Pinky ! Not a word about my bahu. I tolerated what you told Anika, but don't expect same freedom with Gauri Jhaanvi shouted even before Om opened his mouth.
Jethani Ji, you don't know these girls ! Even the puppy of our house is adopted only after knowing its breed and we have a daughter-in-law who doesn't have a surname. How shameful !
Aunty, stop acting as if you are innocent before you blame us. I am not Anika Bhaujai to keep quiet. I am Gauri and stop your drama !
Talk with respect !
What respect do you deserve, when you had done all the deeds and blamed bhaujai to have helped Ranveer?
Gauri, what are you saying? Anika interrupted
No Bhaujai, this is the limit. Pinky aunty, you had prevented the door from closing after bhaujai walked in from the back door and you paved way for Ranvir right?
What? See Shivaay what she is telling. Shivaay stood fisting his palm, trying to stay calm to listen to Gauri.
Nobody would talk in between ! somebody had stopped the door from closing after bhaujai walked in, I had seen a hand in the footage which I informed bhaujai. But I got to know it is you from the ring in your finger ! I did not even tell Bhaujai thinking it would hurt her and add to her woes. I will not keep quiet anymore. Gauri had come to her dabang form.
Not bad, you are very clever and you understood the issue very quickly. Yes ! I did that to create hatred in the heart of Shivaay for Anika ! Anika is innocent, the only mistake she ever did was becoming my son's wife ! she did not deserve it and she has been distancing me from my Shivaay.
OmRu rushed to Shivaay to calm him so that he would not burst in the middle of the conversation. Shivaay had already decided not to open his mouth, he wanted his mother to speak and Gauri spilling the beans seemed astonishing.
She is not fit to be my bahu, Shivaay should have chased her out. wealthy and beautiful girls will queue up to marry my son. I cannot tolerate such girls. Anika knew this but see she is keeping quiet, she has understood where she stands.
Bhaujai, are you sure you knew this?
Anika nodded and next shock wave hit Shivaay.
Then why did you keep quiet?
Why are you asking her Gauri? I can reply. She kept quiet because she will never trade Shivaay's happiness for proving her innocence. I had given her a checkmate.
Checkmate?
Yes, it is a checkmate move. I had blackmailed that if she told the truth that I am behind Prinku's eloping, then I would break the truth to Shivaay and damage him forever. Poor girl, she did not know it is a lie and still believed that.
What truth? Tell me what did you lie? Shivaay shouted.
I threatened her that if she revealed I am behind this, I would confess that you are illegitimate, you were born to shakthi ji and that kamini ! poor girl, so foolish and she believed that and did everything to leave this home and create hatred for herself in Shivaay's mind. If Shivaay had got angry and sent her out, my plan would have worked.
A loud thud was heard and Pinky's cheek turned red. She was slapped brutally by her own husband. The man who remained calm all along could not stand what his wife did. Shivaay was her son, so Shakthi had to take a step further, how could she question her husband's fidelity, he did not have eyes for another woman apart from his wife, the same had been the trait inherited by Shivaay.
Pinky ! not another word. How did you fall so low ? I can't even imagine all this. How could you call your own son illegitimate and accuse your husband that he had an affair? I did not know you had so much poison in your mind ! Shakti screamed breaking his silence that kept his marriage intact for the last 34 years.
Pinky was silent and shocked, never in her dreams Shakthi had acted so rude. In fact, it was the lack of strictness from him that gave her such arrogance. Anika had stopped weeping but eyes still damp and blood shot. She stood up.
Pinky, are you not guilty of all this? Did you even think about our family values before accusing your husband and disowning your son? Even a step mother would not be so cruel. Dadi spat her bitterness.
Pinky's eyes were red too, but out of anger. Anika was dumbstruck along with others. Shivaay was turning a shade darker in the eyes and cheek as every minute passed.
I had a reason to believe ! Anika interfered as a concerned bahu who couldn't see her mother-in-law earn the family's wrath.
Anika? Dadi called.
Shivaay looked at her, the suffering on her face was enough to increase his temper further. Gauri was caressing Anika's shoulder.
DNA of Maahi and Shivaay matched, apart from me, only Pinky aunty knew that. She told me that they were twins, Kamini ji brought up Maahi, while she brought up Shivaay for the need of heir. Anika said
What are you saying Anika, you should have spoken to me once ! Dadi said.
How can I dadi, when Shivaay's mother says that, how can I doubt it. I decided to walk away instead of separating him from his family, his lineage and pride.
DNA matched? How can that be possible? Tej squealed.
Pinky was lot more instigated when Tej asked this question. I bribed the lab to get it matched. See how much I had to do to and if I can match Nayanthara's sample with Anika's, can't I match this. Pinky said with a hint of sarcasm.
Shivaay was being held by OmRu to prevent him from losing control. Anika was dumbstruck. When Anika said Pinky brought Nayanthara, he denied, today truth came out from his mother's mouth.
What? How did you know that I had given samples to test? Anika questioned.
I knew every move of yours, you were the one I wanted to destroy. My eyes were fixed on you. I had to even bring that good for nothing orphan maahi in my son's place for separating you from my son. He resembled Shivaay and Kamini got him from Assam, later she did some touch up to replicate Shivaay's looks. Leave Maahi, even Daksh was in the mansion because of me. Pinky laughed.
Every problem that came in your way was created by me. I wanted Anika to feel uncomfortable in this house, Shivaay to feel suffocated in her presence. Daksh's arrival as Ranveer's mama, Shivaay's kidnapping by that street dweller Maahi, Kamini aimed to shoot Anika in the pretense of aiming at Shivaay, you fell in the trap. Again my bad luck, you survived and my son felt more attached to you. The attachment grew after every issue, it snatched my peace.
My next move was Nayanthara to spoil your lineage in front of Shivaay. Shivaay wanted to know your past, I took advantage and I bribed the orphanage in charge and she came to the picture. Meanwhile, I got to know that you were behind Maahi, so if I manipulate DNA samples you would at least tell Shivaay about it and he will get angry enough to throw you out on grounds of questioning your lineage, but you remained silent.
My bad luck, you found out I was behind Nayanthara but Shivaay had immense trust in me, he did not believe you when you told I was behind that. I used that to my advantage Pinky breathed a sigh when she had spoken all this in a flow.
My hope was restored when Ranveer had come to meet Tej and Jhaanvi, but I convinced him that they would never allow this wedding and only way to marry is by abducting Prinku. I made all necessary arrangements with Kamini, poor fellow, Ranveer did not know this evil plan of ours. He danced to our tunes because I had promised I would set right things. Anika became the prey and it was her movement that was recorded in the footage. When he had no other option, he agreed to me and blamed Anika, breaking your trust at the right time. That was my first victory.
This girl no, she turned up more smart and the very next day, she came up with the footage threatening me that she would expose my plans. How can I be careless? I had to put my last resort into action. I threatened her, if she revealed my involvement, I would confess Shivaay is an illegitimate child of shakthi ji and Kamini and Maahi's twin. I knew Anika was aware of Name, Lineage and inheritance being Shivaay's strength. She would never let him lose his pride, so she was ready to sacrifice her relationship for that. I gave her three days time to get out of this house sorry, Shivaay should chase her out of the house and live forever with Shivaay's hatred.
Today was the last day and her final chance, you know how glad I was that she would leave this house. All that crashed down when Shivaay destroyed the web of lies I had spinned. The reality of Daima's clip the truth that Shivaay is not illegitimate. Anika's performance fell. Pinky said focusing at Anika.
Anika was shocked to know the truth, the dirty games her mother-in-law played were beyond what sundari bua could even think of. Pinky had revealed more details about the plans. She need not ask anything, she knew why pinky hated her.
Enough of this non-sense ! enough Mrs. Pinky Singh Oberoi. Shivaay broke his silence.
The hall was silent and everybody now focused on Shivaay.
For the first time I feel shameful to call you my mother ! I feel cursed to have taken birth from you ! This moment, I break free of all ties I share with you. Shivaay unleashed his anger. His voce echoed all over the mansion.
Shivaay ! I did all this for you, for your happiness. She is not a suitable match for you. If you nod once girls from affluent families will queue up for you. You should chase this girl. Pinky's voice shook and eyes were damp. She revealed her sadness that she had masked with anger.
Shivaay marched forward and pulled Anika towards him, he looked into her damp eyes. All her emotions were seeping out as tears- confusion, doubt, love, guilt. If each emotion had a colour, her orbs would have been as colourful as the rainbow. He could read that, he could understand what she had gone through. He decided to express what he had been piling up, not wanting to lose the moment.
She needed his attention right now, she had been betrayed and fooled by his family, by his mother.
No matter who comes and stands, they can never stand beside Anika. That much is the purity of heart and thoughts. Ranveer had already confessed to me that Anika has nothing to do in this eloping drama on the day I went to get him. I avoided speaking about it to prevent unnecessary issues. Today you yourself confessed with your mouth and accepted that you had played such a cheap game he admitted.
Do you know what she has gone through in life and how much she has sacrificed? Did you forget how much she has done for our family? To what extent she went to save me. Every incident brought me closer to her and I fell for her every time.
Anika ! we need to talk saying that he held her wrist and dragged her to their room.
