A girl was walking on the road. Devastated, broken shattered. Her eyes all dull and blank. Eyes clouded like dark stormy cloud which couldn't rain. She was walking on the road all alone stumbling, tripping and falling and the getting up again. She was breathing but her soul left her body. The pain was shooting through her heart tearing . Her soul into pieces. A car was about to her that she was saved by someone. When she looked up she was shocked to see the person. It was Nikhil who saved her. And she stared at him. Seeing him there, saving her wasn't something she imagined. The guy who left the mandap hearing some false accusation on her is now standing there taking her in his arms protecting her from death.
"What are you doing here Nikhil?" asked Annika in a feeble voice only audiable to Nikhil. "Why are you here with me? A characterless girl like me who betrayed you?" She asked. Her stare blank, devoid of any kind of emotion.
"I'm sorry Annika. I shouldn't have done it. I just heard him and believed on him. But Gouri made me realize how wrong I was. She said you had no such relations with him and it was all done by him. It was Shivaay Singh Oberoi that all this happened." He said trying to make her believe in him.
"But how does it matter to me now Nikhil?" Annika asked looking at him in a dejected way "What'll it change for me now?"
"Please Annika. Give me one chance. You know let's get married." Said Nikhil thinking that might please her but instead a hard slap landed on her face. She was burning with rage right now. What is marriage for this guys? Some game? That they can leave you to die in a moment and then can ask you to get married the next?
"What do you feel Nikhil? I'm a doll that is waiting for you to play with? Am I? No. I understand you'll say I ignored you for a days that you got that idea. If that then what you want to say about the years about our friendship? The days when you took my money without any shame inspite of knowing how hard it was for me to earn some. Did you ever stood by me when I needed you or when I asked you for come with the alliance to aunt? No. You didn't. Cause you were selfish. You thought about yourself, your job, your career but never mine. And after all this you had the guts to think I'll flee with someone for money. If had to do that don't you think I could do that when you were roaming around like a vagabond? And now I'll do that when you got a job? Do you have a brain even?" She shouted on him making him ashamed and somewhat furious. After all he it was blow on her so called male ego. "You know what, I guess it was good that you didn't marry me. I had to bear so many insults but at the end Mr. Oberoi helped me a lot. Otherwise I would have married to a spineless disgusting jerk who has no shame and who doesn't even trust me. It was the beginning and you did this. What would you have done to me after our marriage if someone accused me after our marriage Nikhil? You would have threw me out just the way you did today. and I'm sorry I can do anything but stay with a man like you. So leave." Said Annika with fury and turning away. For Nikhil, more than realizing his mistakes he felt insulted and left the place right away.
Annika started crying on her fate. what has she done to deserve this? All a child needs in her childhood is her mother. And she? She had her mother but that mother wasn't even worthy to be termed as mother. and her father committed suicide due to her mother's betrayal not even thinking for them once. From then everyone insulted and taunted for being a mistress's daughter. And she loathed her mom. If she wanted something with all her heart was a happy married life. And now her only dream was shattered into millions of pieces pricking her eyes. It was hurting her and breaking her already broken self into shreds.
What she did to deserve this? He just revealed all those moments which were somewhat special deep down her soul. Which were like some stolen moments from heaven. And he made a mockery of that. The innocent moment where she bared her heart before him, told him the deepest secret of her life he played it before all. A moment full of innocence that she craved for her whole life, a moment where she was carefree, so vulnerable and wasn't even in her sense was revealed to all. A moment she felt awkward when she woke up in his arms but never regretted was projected to all like some play and proved her characterless. Was this what she deserved? To be broken like this? Just cause Priyanka suffered? No. If she did it was his fault, not hers. She was a business not a kid. When she continuously blamed Daksh couldn't he once try to check it all by himself? Couldn't he hire a PI to have an eye on Daksh? She failed to prove it but she tried. Could he not try once? The person he claims to be reason of his living he couldn't do that for her? And now when she's lying on her deathbed all he can do is spoiling her life as revenge? No, Shivaay Singh Oberoi. It won't happen anymore. And she remembered about her phone. Though Gouri called her once she couldn't pick it up but where it went during the mess? And she frantically searched for her phone. After sometime she found it on her clutch, and dialed Khanna's number immediately.
"Bhaiya I need your help. I know your sir won't leave you if you help me but if you don't I'll have no option left than killing myself. She said sobbling making Khanna shocked. After all Khanna was an orphan who has only Annika to treat him like a brother and a family. And he can't see her dead at any cost. "No Annika. Please don't be stupid. Just tell me where you are? Khanna spoke scared. Giving him the address she sat on the stair. One wicket down.
In next 20 minutes Khanna was standing before her all panting hurriedly checking for any injuries. "I'm fine Bhaaiya. But you need to help me. I need to know everything right now. Whatever happened behind my back there. And on hearing everything she came to know about Mr. Sunil Tyagi. It wasn't so tough to trap him knowing his weakness that is his niece. And Khanna was sent to have a copy of both the flying details of Daksh and Payel's pregnancy report.
It was about 10 in the morning and the time when Sunil's niece comes to the bus stand with her nanny for her bus. Annika distracted the nanny by faking an injury and the kid was kidnapped by Khanna.
It was few minutes that Sunil got a call from a private number informing about his niece and all he could was running for his niece. Though it was a extreme cruel task to blackmail someone kidnapping a innocent kid but hadn't any choice either. The moment Sunil reached there he was tied in a chair with a masked man and a video was played of his niece being tied in a chair.
"Who the hell are you to do this? How can you do that? Shouted Sunil with all the strength he had. And that's when a sound hit his ear making his eyes wide. It was of Daksh.
"Daksh. You? Asked Sunil shocked.
"Yes me. I asked you to leak that damn video on media damn it. And what you did? You didn't released it yet? Spoke Daksh.
"No. You didn't but you said to show the video to Shivaay and frame Annika for the whole thing. And I did that then why you kidnapped me now Daksh? You gave me money to do what I did. Why my niece here? Sunil screamed loudly.
"Fine. But now you need to do something. Play this video right away on your channel that I send. Trust me you'll gain so many TRP and at that exact moment your niece will be home. Said the voice making him scared.
It was the visiting hours and Shivaay was all set to leave for hospital and that's when he heard something that the ground beneath his feet was slipped away. It was a news where the status of Kappor's business condition that they were complete bankrupt and the host was questioning on that if the marriage was a trick to revive their business. And the next moment there were a footage when Taigy himself accepting how he took money from Daksh for prove everything. And the next was a furious Payel who complained in a local police station that Daksh tried to kill her and her unborn baby that was Daksh's stating she was creating trouble. Why won't she after all she heard Daksh instructing someone to kill her.
To say Shivaay was completely shattered was too less. Dadi and OmRu already was cursing Daksh when there was the final blow that was nothing but a terrible reality check for Shivaay. There was a video playing that made everyone silent. The new reader was speaking in background making it more dramatic.
And Shivaay went numb. It was the video the marriage. Or better say the force marriage. The brutality that could be seen was nothing but swinish. The way Annika was shouting, shivering and running could make even a stone cry. And everyone looked at him in shock and disgust. And reality hit him hard. Did he do this to her? Spoiled her to this extent? Made her this miserable. His own words were echoing in his ear. He could clearly see the video playing and everyone hurling at her, calling her as a characterless.
He called her mistress. The same word she was scared and hated to death. She told her that day. And he used the same word on her. The girl who tried to save her sister was treated in a way that none can redeem. She portrayed her as a woman who can...
He can't even think more himself. And she had to bear it all. He used her weak point, her sister to marry her and then threw her as if she was some garbage. He made the mockery of one of the most serene and beautiful moment of his life. The girl who for first time made him smile, made him forget his misery, made him want to live for himself at least once was the girl who's life he ruined with no mercy. How can he do that? He started hating himself for doing this to her. And that when he remembered Daksh. The main culprit. He was about to call Daksh when he received a call on his shattering the remaining of himself. It was a call from hospital that Priyanka was no more. Though Priyanka gained consciousness somehow but before doctor could reach her cabin someone injected her with poison leading her to collapse in moment. Though they couldn't catch the guy but according to someone the guy's hair was tied in a ponytail.
It was enough to break Shivaay totally. Shivaay lost his everything today. His sister, his only family, his reason to live and the human in him as well. He trusted the wrong guy blindly leading to the destruction that it caused to him. He could easily trust Annika. If no fully trust but could doubt Daksh for once. But he chose the path of his destruction. He didn't listen to Annika, went on humiliating her ignoring the warning wandering on his head. And now it was too late to realize his mistake. He only sister already died a brutal death by the man she loved and the guy he trusted over the girl he loved.
