Where My Heart Belongs

Chapter 47 " So near yet so far"

Anika: and I am thankful that I have you, but why Soumya don't deserve the same? What she did so she deserve that everyone turn his back on her?

Great ma: Anika could you leave us for a minute?

Anika eyes widened in disbelief and said: but this is Soumya, great ma I have to understand What is going on and why

Great ma interrupted: Anika? Please

Anika swallowed and nodded faintly and went out of the room as Shivaay leaned forward in interest as great ma said

Great ma: I guess Anika still don't know what Soumya did

Shivaay shook his head and said: and I am not planning to tell her (Then he said with frown) this girl hurt Surbhi enough Knowing what she did will make a new wound in her heart (Then he said with blaming look ) and she suffered more than enough Don't you agree?

Great ma nodded and said

Great ma: You are right Mr. Shivaay Girls are innocent and sensitive creatures But my girls are not like other girls (then she looked down and said) as much care and love I tried to provide them I could never take care of them and give them the kindness a family can give or was able to protect them from cruelty of people who thought they can hurt them because they don't have who stood for them (then she swallowed and said) and believe me they met very cruel people in their life And sometimes it was too late for me to sooth their pain

Shivaay: I don't know what are you trying to say ma'am, but I think telling me what the love of my life suffered is not the best way for to seek my help

Great ma smiled and said: that is my point Anika Is one of the strongest people I met in my life she was someone that hard to break She kept the innocence and the cheerful smile on her lips like the day she came She kept dreaming and fighting no matter what she saw and not only for herself but for every other one she met in her life She raise hope in everyone heart not only hers (then she leaned towards Shivaay and said) and although she was one of the worst situations between my girls She never let herself feel less no matter how low anyone tried to make her feel, that how special she is !!

Shivaay took a deep breath as great ma continued

Great ma: but every girl is special in her way and Soumya didn't suffer less than Surbhi or less special She was only survivor from a bad car accident and the girl suffered great injuries and suffered physical and emotional pain and she knew she lost her family in a second and there is no one else in her life in a very young age (Then she took a deep breath and said) and she is not as Anika She just not as her she needs to be protect and saved and she have a very high sense of guilt but she caring and

Shivaay interrupted and said: it's very painful what she suffered But who told you that she suffered more than me? or Surbhi's mother or Surbhi herself Who can be the judge of that? and why would that make me forgive her? (Then he chuckled and said ) I can't forgive my own aunt till today I can't forgive myself what makes me forgive Soumya? what she ever did to Anika so I can forgive her? Do you think that Anika will forgive her when she knows what she did to me and her own mother? You think that I am not fair, right? (then he shook his head and said) maybe I am not and maybe Soumya was used and that she can be a good friend for Surbhi but what makes me take a chance? What makes me think that when she stood again to make a choice between herself and my Surbhi She will choose Surbhi and won't do like she did last time??(Then he smiled a creepy smile and said) she entered my house twice And in the two times she knew that Anika is Surbhi and the two times she chose to run instead of facing what she did? Can you guarantee me that?

Great ma shook her head while looking down not knowing what to say

Great ma: I don't think even if I guarantee you that You will believe me
