Ch3.
''Doctor... Please ek stretcher laiye... Dekhiye yeh bohut zakhmi hai aur behosh hai...'' Shree in a scared tone said,keeping an injured Anika on the stretcher,while,Liza informed Rathore sir and Ayesha...
''Arey...inhe yeh chot kaisi aayi? Main inhe jaanti hu... Yeh toh 2 months pregnant hai? Wardboy jaldi se inhe OT mein leke jao aur Dr.Mehra ko inform karo...''
Soon,the doctors' took Anika inside the OT and started her treatment immediately,whereas,Shree,Liza and Chotu were shocked to know that Anika was 2 months pregnant with Arjun's child... The trio had tears in their eyes and were continuosly praying for the safety of Anika and her baby...
Meanwhile,Rathore and Aayesha came to the hospital and went near the trio and asked about Anika's condition... Liza told everything to Rathore and Aayesha.At first,they were stunned to know about Anika's pregnancy,but,later on,felt really sad for her because she was hurt beyond repair by Arjun. Rathore swore that if anything happened to Anika and her baby,he wont leave Arjun. Soon,the doctor came out and announced that Anika's feet has been badly crushed in that accident and she wont be able to walk properly for some months.
''Par,doctor? Anika aur uski honewali bacchi? Woh dono toh thik hai na?'' Aayesha asked.
''Dont worry Aayesha... Bhagwan ka lakh lakh shukr hai ki baccha aur Maa dono thik hai... Par,Anika ka pura khayal rakhna parega aur usse har mahina physiotherapy keliye aana parega... She has been transferred to the cabin... Aap log milsakte ho...''
Soon,the doc went away and the others went inside to meet Anika...As they entered the cabin,they saw an Anika,whose face colour was flushed...Her face had no emotions,it was just like a blank paper.Her hand protectively covering her belly.
''Anika,tum ab kaisi ho?''
''Zinda hu,yahi bohut hai... Marne keliye chhor kyun nahi diya mujhe? Bachaya hi kyun? Atleast,iss zillat bhari zindagi se chutkara toh milta... Sir,mujhe Arjun rawte se alag hona hai... Please kuch kijiye...''
''Main jaanta hu Anika,ki,tumpe kya beetraha hai,par,ekbar toh apne bacche ke khatir Arjun ko maaf kardo...'' Sameer pleaded...
''Aap chahte kya hai Sir,ki,main Arjun ko maaf kardu jisne mere saath zabardasti karne ki koshish ki? Ek be-matlab ki shaadi mein rehne se accha hai ki iss rishte ko torhna... Waise bhi,mujhe yeh shaadi karke mila hi kya? Sirf nafrat,aur kuch nahi... Main apne bacche ke upar uske pita ka saya nahi parne dene wali hu... Agar aap mujhe Arjun se alag nahi karwana chahte,toh,thik hai,main hi khudko Arjun se alag kardungi...Main hi lawyer ko bulake divorce papers ready karwaungi...'' a broken Anika said.
''Par Anika,iss bacche ke bare mein toh socho?'' Aayesha said.
''Kya sochu,Aayesha? Kya bolungi main apne bacche ko ki uske Baba kabhi bhi apni Maa ko patni ka adhikar nahi diya? Kya kahungi ki yeh shaadi kin halato mein huyi thi? Kya kahungi ki yeh shaadi unhone mujhse uss dhokhey ki badla lene keliye ki thi,jo mere bhai ne Arjun ki chhoti behen ko di thhi? Kuch hai jawab iska tumhare paas...'' Anika replied...
Sometime after,the door opened and entered Arjun.Everybody were shocked to see him there...Tears were pooling his eyes and guilt and repentance were very much visible in his eyes...He went near Anika and slumped down,holding her hands in his...
''Main jaanta hu ki main maafi ke layak nahi hu par mujhe ehsaas hochuka hai meri galti ka... Aaj mujhe ehsaas huya ki galti tumhari nahi thhi,galti toh meri behen ki thhi jisne pura saazish racha tha..dhokha toh usne mujhe diya thha... Unlogo ki galti ki saza mujhe mat do,Anika... Mujhe ehsaas hogaya hai ki main tumse bohut pyaar karne laga hu... Mujhe laga thha ki tum meri Life mein Roshni ki jagah lena chahti ho,isiliye yeh sab karta gaya... Mujhe maaf kardo,Anika... Mujhse door mat jao... Main vadaa karta hu ki ayinda main tumhe koi dukh nahi dunga,ek kharoch bhi aane nahi dunga tumpe aur humare bacche pe...Please,iss bacche ke khatir,mujhe maaf kardo...''
''Nahi... Main aapko sirf tabhi maaf karungi jab aap Sir ko vishwas dilayenge ki aap mujhe kabhi hurt nahi karenge aur humare bacche ko abhi dukh nahi denge..Humesha mujhe khush rahenge aur mere saare nakhre aur pregnancy ke midnight cravings ko bardasht karenge... Aur ek hai,yeh ki,aap mujhe apna waqt denge aur agar aapne mujhpe chillaya na,toh,dekhlena,abhi keliye toh main divorce papers pe sign nahi kar rahi hu,par,agli baar zarur karungi... Samjhe ya Samjhhau?''
''Aayi baat samajh mein,Rawte? Tujhe Anika ki har shart manzur hai ya nahi?'' Sameer asked...
''Haan re Bhai... Mujhe Anika sari shartein manzur hai... Usse ab woh saari khushiyaan aur pyaar dunga jiski woh asli haqdaar hai...'' He takes out Roshni's mangalsura and ties it around her neck and applies sindoor on her parting...Tears fell from her eyes and she hugged Arjun tightly and cried her heart... After everything was sorted out,everyone was really happy for Arjun and Anika and were planning for the newborn baby.
