PART 3:
She sat by herself and weeping with the mouth covered with her trembling hands as it was midnight and and everybody was asleep. She headed towards their to confront Shivaay.
"Anika Didi". She stopped as the voice sounded familiar. Pleading to heavens for not letting her mistaken she turns and finds Om carrying a smiling Sahil with Rudra . Of all the fancy presents Shivaay brought for the family, to her there was only one gift, to see her brother.
Om puts Sahil down and he runs towards Anika who broke down on the floor. They both hugged each other. Anika was feeling relieved as promising to herself to keep Sahil in her protection from now.
"Anika it's joyous moment why are you crying". Om asks Anika as he thought her reaction was a bit different
"How could I be happy when Shivaay lost him"
Om and Rudra looking at eachother wondering why Anika is behaving as if Sahil was missing.
"Didi , I wanted to surprise you." Sahil remembers how he promised Shivaay not to tell Anika anything as he wanted to surprise his sister
Anika stops for a second recalling Sahil's words and notices that he doesn't even have his crutches with him and he is standing perfectly fine on his legs. How could it be possible? The moment she's been waiting for, it all happened in that moment.
"How? ..."
"My SJ is the world's best jeju." Sahil excitedly expresses
"Why are you shocked Anika Didi, didn't bhaiya tell you about this" Rudra
"I am sorry Anika Didi, I told him to not say anything to you. It was a pinky promise". Sahil felt sorry for making Anika tensed
"But how is it possible"?
SAHIL'S FLASHBACK:
The moment Sahil and Shivaay arrived in France he was very excited about the trip. In the evening Shivaay took him out. Sahil thought that they'll be going to Disneyland but they ended up being in the hospital. Sahil asks Shivaay what is this all about.
Shivaay asks him if he wants to walk on his both legs just like he used to years ago. Shivaay tricked him just for getting his surgery done. He was in a state of guilt the day he found out that Sahil really was disabled as he once mocked his appearance.
Sahil's surgery was scheduled after 2 days as Shivaay already discussed everything with the doctors. He gave all the time & care to him. On their way back to India they visited the hospital for follow up and Sahil was told to stay at the hospital for couple of hours. Shivaay had told OmRu about this so they came to accompany Sahil at the hospital.

OmRu take Sahil along to Shivaay's room.
"What right did I have to be angry with him at first place" Anika was in frustration. She hardly knew whether to be angry with herself or thankful to Shivaay.
"And how could I threaten him like that" Her attention was diverted by a call. Who woould call at this hour, she wonders. The phone was ringing continuously so she picks it up.
"Hello, are you related to Mr. Shivaay?"
"Yes, I am Anika speaking".
"Could you please come to the city hospital". She panicked. Since her day was full of events she couldn't digest the news. She had so many questions to ask but the call was cut. She didn't want to tell anyone as she has already given everyone tough time today. She rushed to the hospital.
"The patient was attacked so badly, we tried hard to save him but couldn't stop the bleeding." The nurse shared the news with the other while walking past her
She recollects the moments when Shivaay tried to make her happy and she never even looked at him with a smile once. The worse of all was she even cursed him.
"No, it can't happen." She never wanted anything bad happen to him. The situation forced her to utter those words.She closed her eyes but imagined him covered in blood. She opened them and tears rolled down her cheeks.
She was walking in the corridor when she stops seeing the door open of Shivaay's room and sees him lying on the bed.
"You would've been in bed instead of hospital only if I hadn't bothered you" she can't stop blaming herself. She keeps remembering her words to Shivaay unable to look into his eyes
"Is Sahil home"? The moment their eyes meet and Shivaay witnessed Anika's tears. The first time he saw Anika feel concerned about him.
His question made Anika cry out loud because of the guilt. He is still asking about her brother.
"Why didn't you say anything". Anika unknowingly starts hitting Shivaay. He screams with pain and gripping tight on her hand. She looked at the big bandage shivaay had on his abdomen and it was stained with blood and looks away
"I'm sorry did I hurt you"
"You've wanted to see me hurt then why today when i am actually hurt, you closed your eyes?" His words pricked Anika like a needle.. "Why Anika? Why you do this to me always?"
"I've hurt you mire than you even deserve and you have a right to hate me. I deserve it" He had every right to blame her , punish her
"But I love you more than you deserve, i wouldn't ask much in return"
Their relationship developed because of Sahil and now it's them who could take it forward but Anika never responded in a positive way. He wasn't expecting anything different today but wanted to say everything
Shivaay tries to sit up, Anika helps him out putting pillow behind his back and pulling the blanket on his legs. Shivaay remembers about the protest in their factory .One of them participants became violent and stabbed him. Luckily it missed his organs and was shifted to the hospital on time.
"Sir! shall I help you get changed" a nurse comes in with Shivaay's clothes as he was to be discharged in an hour
"Yeah... sure...
(Anika cuts in) "I'll do it. Thankyou for looking after Mr. Shivaay". Anika stands ups and takes his clothes from the nurse as she leaves
"Why would you bother... Anika"?
"Because I am your wife"!
