*Chapter 3*
"I missed you Annika,he mumbled" . Annika was shocked but happy to hear that. But as she was about to reciprocate what he just said, everything that occured flashed in front of her eyes. She was furious.
"How dare you Shivaay ?" She angrily said. "It's been five years we haven't met, or talked and all you have to say is that you missed me ? You know what ? I didn't. Karan kept me happy enough. You know what were his last words ? That no matter what, Shivaay will always be there. He always loved you and I'm sure he still does. Little did he knew that his so called best friend, won't even care enough to be there with his Annika. That he won't even call her or come to perform his last rites. Karan died. And the truth is that you didn't care", saying this, she hung up the phone.
Shivaay, who was shocked, was still holding his phone near his ear, as if waiting for her to talk again. He was like a stone put in the middle of an unknown desert. He was blank. All he could think of was what Annika said about Karan.
Karan, his best friend. Karan, who took away his love, HIS Annika. Karan, who died in a car accident. Annika's husband Karan. He was on the phone with Annika when he lost control of his car. Annika blames herself for what happened to him. She somehow wanted Shivaay to be there with her at that time as the three of them were college buddies. She knew she could always count on both of them. But Shivaay never showed up or called. She tried to reach him a few times but he never replied. What she didn't know is that Shivaay had his own reasons.
He wasn't strong enough to see his Annika in pain. So he prefered to stay away from her. He regrets that. But he never had a chance to explain himself. He loves her a lot. More than his own life. He knew her happiness was with Karan and not him. So he let her go. If he could've sacrifice himself to save Karan and see his Annika happy, he would do it without thinking once about it. But he can't. Now, all he has is a cold Annika, who hates him. But he has so much love to give her that he vowed to make his Annika lively again.
On the other hand, Annika found herself crying like a baby after a long time. Even though she promised her dying husband that she'll stay strong, she can't. Shivaay's and Karan's words were the only thing she could hear right now. She was broken apart.
"Why Shivaay ? Why didn't you care ? Karan trusted you", she said in between of her sobs. "But I promise you Karan, I will get my answers. If being nice doesn't help, then I'll be bad enough to know the truth."
Annika always loved Karan and has accomplished every duty as a wife. But what she never told him is that she always had a soft corner for Shivaay, and that too since she first saw him. But after what he did, she hated him to the core. Annika and Karan both trusted Shivaay, but she was feeling betrayed.
