Dear All
This story is post the KM Raaz and will involve a bit of mental seperation of Shivika ahead coz the kind of realtionship they share, a physical seperation is impossible. This is also way I can see angst among themselves. Read on with a heavy heart. I will make it lighter in the upcoming chapters. All sugesstions are welcome. It will be updated every weekend!I m looking fwd for your views and comments. 😳
"I WILL ALWAYS STAND BY YOU"
The KM Raaz as Tia had suspected had the potential to break Shivika. And at all costs she wanted to guard their beautiful relationship. But as they say you can't stop the inevitable. At last it was out in the open that Anikas family was the victim in Kalyani Mills fire. Veer's Voice echoed the halls of the OM while he was being ousted from the house for his wrong doings along with his mother. He kept saying looking at Anika, "Oberois have taken away everything from you. Would still stay with the murderers of your family? A family that took away your family at such any early age! You were left out there to struggle while they build up a kingdom for themselves.
Shivaay himself shocked by these words felt speechless that his own family was responsible for no roof over Anika's head for all these years. He loved his family, but an injustice was done to his wife who was his family too. All those small nuances came to life as he remembered that how Anika was beaten up in the dark, how she held onto those diyas for her next Diwali. He felt burdened by the thought that she had nothing to eat sometimes while he had plethora of luxuries laid out for him. Being the part of the Oberoi Clan, he blamed himself that how cud he snatch away everything from her. Few days went by in this whirlwind.
While the storm was passing, Anika had closed herself in the room drifting into her own world. She wasn't talking to anyone and everybody was getting more worried by the day. With no interaction with him and again not eaten for two days. Shivaay was tossing around the room getting more worried with every passing minute. While he took his time to come to terms with what Anika had been through for all these years, he vowed to himself that now he will try making for it by being by her side always. He cant change the past but he can change the future with all his love for her.
At last the door opened and Shivaay worst fears played infront of his eyes. He saw a pale Anika, who had cried for all these days, standing in front of him like a ghost with a suitcase in her hand! It didn't take him a second to analyse that she was moving out of the house. She needed some time alone away from the people who had unknowingly scarred her for life. More pained by what he saw he tried to talk to Anika but deep down he knew there was no way that he can stop her! Injustice has been done and there was only one way to counter it.
As pinky saw the suitcase in Anika's hand she panicked and tried to stop Anika saying, " Time will heal everything, don't go please. We need you with us. But her pleas went unanswered and finally Pinky and Shivaay came to the same conclusion together.
Pinly: "Go with Her
Shivaay: "Mom, I m going with her
Shivaay happy as his mom understood Anikas turmoil, stood by him to not her go like that.
Pinky: " She needs you more now. Take care of my daughter in law and yourself too. I shall wait to have you both back.
Shivaay touched his mother's feet and with her strength by his side he walked towards Anika.
Anika was about to reach the entrance but a hand held her from behind. She knew it was Shivaay. He said with a heavy heart and tears in his eyes, "You are again leaving me behind? You are again walking on out US? "
Tears forming in her eyes, she didn't say a word and lightly took her hand away from his.
Shivaay again stopping her, I know injustice has been bestowed on you. I can't turn back time but I vowed to stand by you in all times. So let me at least come with you. Anika understanding Shivaay's unwillingness to let go, with more tears in her eyes she lowered her head and he took his hand in hers and together they walked out towards a new journey that was their own.
They drove on the road for hours, she didn't have a clue where they would go. But Shivaay knew where he was heading. He knew it would be the longest journey of their lives that they would have ever taken. But it would be a journey to find themselves back together. So he know where he was heading. In all these years with his hard work, he had accumulated enough properties in different parts of the world to go and settle. And out of these few properties one was in Goa, which with his hard earned money was gifted to her on their first anniversary. It was a house that was on both their names and thus was named, "Shivika Mansion
Since the distance from Mumbai to Goa was long, Anika slept off during the ride. While her brain refused to say a thing, her heart knew that he was taking them towards a right direction. Finally at dawn, Anika opened her eyes to her new home with Shivaay. Walking in Shivaay tried to make a conversation but it looked like she was in no mood to talk. Understanding that she wanted to fight her battles alone currently he decided to give her some space. Thus, he showed her the room.
She went in and tried closing the door behind. But he held it in between saying, "I know u r angry, I you need some time alone but don't close yourself on me. Keep the door open, that way I won't be worried. Nodding to his concern she left the door open but drowned in her world of sorrow. Shivaay meanwhile gathered himself in another room and sat there closing his eyes, talking to self, "Grief is a walk alone, I can only be there and listen. But she will have to walk alone, down her own path, at her own pace, with her sheared off pain, her raw wounds, her denial, anger and bitter loss. She will come to her own peace, but that will be on her own and in her own time. Meanwhile, in this darkest hour and always, I will stand by her. "
