Part 1:
Anika's Return
"Rudra, Om tum dono to jaan te ho ke mein nahi wapis aa sakti, phir ye zid kyun kar rahe ho?" [Rudra, Om you both know I can't come back, so why are you insisting?]
Anika gets up from the couch and walks away, she doesn't want Om and Rudra to see her breaking.
"Bhabi, ye zid nahi humara desperation hai, agar app unse milnai gyi to app ko be dek jaya gya ke bhaiya kitne badal gaye hain." Om replied, as he walks over to her turning her around [this isn't our insistence but rather our desperation, if you meet him, you too will realize how much he's changed]
Anika looks up at him hoping he will understand, and see how much it is taking for her to say no.
"Om, mein unse miloon gyi to mujhe nahi raha jya ga. Mein Pinky aunti ki baat nahi taal sakti, wo pane beta ka bora nahi cha sakti, ek maa apne aulaad ka kabhi bura nahi cha sakti. Beshak unho nai Shivaay ko janam nahi diya wo unko upna beta se barkar manthi hain. Shivaay abhi tadi mar rahe hoon gye lekin wakt ke saat wo muhje...bhi bhool jaye gain." [Om, if I meet him I won't be able to stay away. I can't ignore what Pinky Aunti said, she can't do anything that will hurt her son. A mother would never do anything to hurt her child. Despite not giving birth to Shivaay she considers him to be more then a son. Shivaay is being difficult, but with time he'll ...forget me too]
"Bhabi app ye kaise ke sakti hain, app to jaanti hain ke unko appki zaroorat hai. Shivaay Bhaiya undar se toot rahe hain aur bharse wo bhar dilair bhan rahe hain." [How can you say that? You know how much he needs you. Shivaay Bhaiya is being very courageous on the outside, but he is breaking inside] Rudra gets up and walks over to them, Anika closes her eyes as tears run down her cheek
"Rudra, please aur na bolho. Mein nahi jaanti ke main kya karoon." Anika begins to sob and Om catches her as she falls down, hugging her, he lets her cry on his chest "Tum dono hi bataoo ke mein ka karoon. Pinky Aunti ka mein dil tordoon? Ek maa ka dil mein todoon? Mein wapass jaoon gi to mein apne app ko nahi unse door nahi rak paoon gyi." [Rudra, please don't say anything else. I don't know what to do. You tell me what I should do? Break Pinky Aunti's heart? Break a mother's heart? If I go back I won't be able to stay away from him.]
Rudra takes Anika by her shoulder and turns her towards him, Anika looks up to him.
"Bhabi,... app ek bar khud unko dekh lo, app kud samaj jao gi ke hum kya ke rahe hain, app phir jo kaho gyi wohi ho gya" [Just see him for yourself one time, you'll understand what we are saying, then whatever you say will go.]
Anika looked at them both, the hope evident in their eyes as they await her reply. She turned around and wipes her face. "Bas ek baar" [Only one time.]
Coffee Shop
"Dekhiya Mr. Kuranna mein yaan pe apne time waste karne nahi ayya, app apne company ka kya karein ye meri problem nahi hai. I just know that the delivery is for next Wednesday, and if it isn't here you can take it to my lawyer for breach of contract. It's not personal, just business. Would you like another coffee?" [Look Mr. Kuranna, I didn't come her to waste my time. What you do with your company is not my problem...]
"No thank you, I shall be taking my leave then. Thank you for meeting with me"
Shivaay nodded.
Om, Rudra and Anika watch the encounter from a distance. As Anika watches, she reminisces their first encounters as SSO and his outward return to his cold self.
Shivaay picks up phone, " Maa app koun mujhe baar baar phone kar rahein hain, mein apna dehaan rak sakta hoon...Mom please ab rona mat shuru kijiya. Me ghar aake baat karloon gya." He aggressively hangs up the phone... he looks down at it sighs, and leaves the shop" [Mom, why do you keep calling me? I can take care of myself... mom please don't start to cry now. I'll talk to you when I get home]
As Shivaay comes closer to where Om, Rudra and Anika are standing they hide further back. As he's passes by he stops.
"...Anika"
He looks around, secretly hoping the odd feeling of her presence is his heart sensing her. When he doesn't see her, his heart drops. He continues forth to his car and drives off.
Oberoi Mansion
"Aaj ka function bilkul sahi taran hona chaihai, menai bohat logo ko bulaiya hai. Asa no ho ke meri naak kati jaye." Dadi instructs the event planners [ Today's function should be absolutely perfect, I have invited a lot of people and I do not want to be embarrassed]
"Oh my mata mummy ji aap itni tension kyun leyre ho, kudhi kar lein gaye." Pinky advises as she approaches with her hair in rollers. "Ab aap bhi jha ke taiyar ho jayi, warna aisa no ho ke mehman aajain aur aap taiyar ho rahi hain" [Why are you so tense, they'll do it themselves.] [You too should go now and get ready. Otherwise, the guests will have arrived and you will still be getting ready]
"Tik kai rahi hai Pinky par pichli bhar bhi inho ne sab sayi nahi kiya tha, Jhanvi ko aakar sab wapas karvana pardha tha. Pehle to Anika thi, tab yeh sab ki fikar hi nahi karni pardthi thi. Khair chood yeh sab baatain, mein thaiyar hone chali jahti hoon, jab tak tera rollers set hogain tum yahi ranhi, mein jaldi se wapis aajoon gyi" Dadi leaves for her room leaving Pinky to her thoughts. [You are right Pinky, but last time they didn't complete everything properly and Jhanvi had to come and have it redone. Before Anika used to do it all, and we wouldn't even notice. Anyway forget these things, I'm going to go get ready. By the time your rollers are set, I will be back. Stay here]
"Aap shaid sahi ke rahi thi, Anika kar to lethi thi sab kuch bina batya. Shivaay bhi us ke jahne ke baad kitna badal gaye hai, uski muskurat hi jaise gayib ho gyi hai. Mata Rani maine kuch galat to nahi kiya? Kya maine apne hatoon se apne baache ki zindagi barbad to nahi kar di? Nahi nahi Pinky tu kya sooch rahi hai, Jis ka koi naam, khoon aur khaandan ka koi pata nahi wo mera bache ke kabil kaise ho sakti hai." [Maybe you are right mummy ji, Anika used to get everything done without being asked to do so. Shivaay too has changed greatly after she left, his smile has disappeared. Mata Rani did I do something wrong? Did I destroy my child's happiness with my own hands? No No Pinky, what are you thinking, a girls whose name, bloodline, family has no whereabouts how can she being worthy of my child?]
That evening
All the Oberoi's descend to the living area dressed in their designer clothing for the Lodi celebration. Rudra and Om are busy in conversation as they make their way to the lawn. Shivaay remains in the back only speaking when spoken to. The guests begin to sprinkle in slowly.
Shivaay feels the wind changes and a pleasant and unreal feeling fills his heart. He turns around and walks to the main door, making his way through the crowd of people entering the party. He looks around quickly, barely noticing all the people coming to say hi, he walks right past them. When he sadly never sees the sight he is craving he turns around, when something catches his eye. He turns to see Om and Rudra speaking to someone who he couldn't see past Om's height. They both hugged her. Shivaay begins to walk closer to them, when Rudra sees him approaching,
"Bhaiya" [Brother]
Om turns at the mention of him, and smiles. Shivaay stops a couple feet from them. Om looks over his shoulder he grabs Anika's wrists and pulls her out from behind him.
The breath from Shivaay's lungs disappears, he can't decide if she is really there or his mind mocking him and playing a cruel game.
"Anika" Shivaay breathes out, barely a whisper.
Anika looks up to him meeting his eyes filled with tears, both barely managing to keep it together.
"Tum muhje chhod kar chali gayi thi... muhje chh..oode kar chali gyi thi. Binhe kuch batye. Chali gyi thi" [You left me...you le...ft me. Without saying anything...you left.]
Anika can't bare to see the raw pain in his eyes. She closes her eyes and puts her head down as tears make their way down her cheeks.
