"Good morning bhaiya. How are you here? That too this much early?", Asked Priyanka as she is surprised to see Shivaay here. She hugged him and asked him to come inside.

"I have important work with Daksh. Is he here?", Shivaay asked to which Priyanka nodded and asked him if he want to drink water. Shivaay denied and walked toward Daksh and Priyanka's room.

"Yes. You are on time as he was going for an interview", Priyanka replied standing near the door

"I will not take much time", Shivaay told

"Shivaay... Is everything fine?", Asked Daksh

"Can I drop you? As I want to talk with you", Shivaay asked to which Daksh nodded and picked his file and both came out.

"Drop me at XYZ industry. And anything serious? ", asked Daksh after sitting in the passenger seat. Shivaay nodded and started driving as he don't want him to be the reason for his lost interview

"Do you think Anika was never ashamed to perform that ritual? Don't you think whatever she was doing was right from her point of view? ”, Shivaay asked and looked at Daksh to hear his answer.

"Ohh so she sent you to clarify after I asked her to leave this house", Daksh said

"What do you mean by that?", Shivaay asked to confirm whether what he heard was right or wrong. Daksh sighed and replied

"Shivaay do you think she is right? I don't think so. I still couldn't tell Priyanka about this issue and she told you without any hesitation. That indirectly means that she is not ashamed. Yesterday I was regretting sending her out like this but now I think I was right. She just wants atten..", Daksh said but Shivaay interrupted him in middle

"Don't cross your limit Daksh. What do you mean by sending her out and you asked her to leave the house? Did you ask her to go back? ", Shivaay interrupted Daksh angrily with fear what if he sent her out of the house that was the main reason Anika was worried from the time she came back. He was confused why she asked him to take her when she was excited to visit them before

"Yes as she deserves this", Daksh said angrily. He is still angry at her for hiding such a big thing from them. Even he craved for mother love and just because of Anika he was unable to meet her

"Have you gone mad? She told me everything as I knew already why your mother left you, people. How can you behave like that? And that too without hearing her side...  Do you have any idea how hurt she is because of you? The whole night she was tensed. And why do you think she should be ashamed to tell me when she was not wrong? You were ashamed because you were wrong Daksh. And while performing ritual every time she used to Regret but just because of you all she used to perform the ritual", Shivaay shouted from the top of his voice and stopped his car in the middle of the road. He wants to kill Daksh right now for having thinking like that. How can he trust someone else more than Anika who spent her whole life thinking about them?

Shivaay tightened his hold on the steering wheel to control his anger which is at its peak right now. He is angry with himself as well that why he comes to tell him everything when he trusts someone else, not his sister. He wants to hold his collars and ask him why he sent her out of that house which is Anika's but his interview is what stops him

"You know what she was right that you don't even deserve clarification. But my motive is to tell you. Do you think someone can boldly tell her sibling what her mother is? And why you didn't question your mother why she never came to meet you? If you have that many guts then ask your so-called mother why she left you not from that person who always thinks about you people", Shivaay shouted angrily and started driving to divert his attention to the road instead of him otherwise he won't know what he will do in anger

"Did you ever thank her once for handling you all together? One more thing. She didn't send me here to clarify things. She said she doesn't want to explain things ", Shivaay told roughly without looking at him, His eyes turned red in anger.

"But she told you when I didn't tell anything to Priyanka. We had a love marriage yet I was ashamed to talk like this", Daksh said as he felt Anika was wrong here for telling Shivaay whatever happened here

"Half-truth is more dangerous than a lie Daksh. You are pointing out that she told me everything but you could not then it is your problem, not hers. You know how you behaved with Anika that's why you were ashamed. Whereas Anika was hurt by your words and she told me because our relationship is based upon trust, unlike you jerk. Now keep quiet. Don't force me to kill you", Shivaay said angrily and increased speed as he is finding it difficult to stay with Daksh. He hates these types of people who believe outsiders more than family

"We reached", Shivaay said without looking at Daksh and parked his car near the gate.

"Was that true?", asked Daksh

"Ask from that woman whom you meet. She was more concerned than Anika right then ask her why never paid your fees. Ask that woman to pay you the money which Anika gave till now. give everything back to her. Ask her to feed you. Even you are like.. ", Shivaay stopped in the middle as he realised what he was going to say. Daksh is Priyanka's husband and he doesn't want him to turn bad even in his wild dreams as that will indirectly ruin Priyanka's life. He doesn't like comparing parents with children but in his anger, he doesn't realise his words

"Get out before I lose my temper Daksh", Shivaay said. Daksh nodded and came out of Shivaay's car knowing Shivaay and his anger very well

"I...", Daksh tried asking forgiveness when Shivaay showed his hand to him and drove his car far from Daksh's sight.. once he reached the plain area he stopped driving. All flashes of today's conversation with Daksh came to his mind and then Anika's sad face

He looked towards his mobile phone when he heard a ringing sound. He checked and noticed a call from Anika

"Hello, Shivaay where are you? Why do you leave early? Is everything fine?", Anika said

"I am fine. I am not a child who can't go out early. I am coming"Shivaay replied

"Sorry vo, Khanna Ji was asking me where are you. I thought you are in the office but you are not. He asked me to call you", Anika said

"I will come back within an hour. Don't wor..", he said but stopped in the middle when Anika cut the call without hearing him. Shivaay banged his hand on the steering wheel as he doesn't know if she is angry or he is just overthinking.
