Third Person’s POV
Anika was sitting on a boulder near the sea and was hearing the sounds of the waves when someone came from behind and hold her shoulder. Anika didn’t say anything she just hugged the person tightly and started crying.
The person didn’t stop her from crying, he was just caressing her back quietly. The person is none other than Ishaan.
ANIKA : Ishaan, I don’t know how will I face Mihir bhai. How? How could I say such
words to him? I hurt everyone so much. You all were thinking about my feelings
and what have I done. I have only hurt all of you.
Ishaan cupped her face in his hand…
ISHAAN : Anika, don’t cry and stop blaming yourself. You didn’t do it intentionally. You
were also hurt. Don’t worry everyone understands this. You should go and meet
Mihir.
Anika nodded her head then she kept her head on Ishaan's shoulder and was enjoying the beautiful sunset in front of them.
ANIKA : Ishaan…
ISHAAN : hmm?
ANIKA : did you know about all this also?
Hearing this Ishaan stiffened, and Anika sensed that. She chuckled…
ANIKA : I have gotten my answer.
ISHAAN : Anika… listen… I… we…
ANIKA : it’s ok Ishaan… I am not angry. I understand you hide this because you didn’t want me to know about my birth’s truth. You all hide everything from me because you
didn’t want me to get hurt….you know what Ishaan when Mumma told me everything
I was feeling like I was living in a different world. There were so many think I
didn’t know.
ISHAAN : You Mumma has told you everything?
ANIKA : Yes..
FLASHBACK
Anika’s POV
When I am in my room when Mumma came to me.
KRITIKA : Niki, I want to talk with you. I think you have already seen the news about Mr.
Agarwal’s arrest and Rishi and Mihika's divorce… right?
ANIKA : Yes, Mumma.
KRITIKA : Niki, we had all hidden this truth from you because we didn’t want to hurt you. If we have told any of these, then we had to tell you about your truth which we
didn’t want. I know you have many questions in your mind. Today I want to clear all your query. I know you have a question, how could we forgive Rishi… right?
ANIKA : yes Mumma, how could you forgive him! He raped you. How could they have still
relationship with us?
KRITIKA : Niki, we are not god… we hadn’t forgiven him first. We had tried to punish him
but he couldn’t do anything because we had no evidence and besides he got
married to Mihika because of saving himself. Mihika's family had more power
than us. We couldn’t punish him.
ANIKA : Then how could you forgive him?
KRITIKA : let me finish first, honey.
I kept my mouth shut.
KRITIKA : Maybe you remember… you had suffered from blood cancer.
I nodded my head positive.
KRITIKA : Niki, at that time if Rishi wanted he could have taken your custody or could have
obtained the rights of being your father. But he didn’t… he asked for
forgiveness and promised us he will be a good father to Mihir. He didn’t even want to have a relationship with us. It was your papa, who had allowed him. Look Niki, punishment is important but sometimes forgiveness is more important. And when the person realizes his mistake we should forgive him and give him a second chance…just answer my one question honestly Niki, if you hadn’t found out about Rishi your biological
father, do you still think of him as a bad person after seeing him all these years?
No… of course not. I always loved him, and respect him, not because he is an elder but because he has given me love…genuine love for me and my siblings. If I hadn’t found out about
Rishi uncle as my biological father, would I have thought of him as a bad
person? … no but will I forgive him?
FLASHBACK END
Third Person’s POV
ISHAAN : So will you forgive him?
ANIKA : Maybe I will forgive him… but I will never give him the place of my father in my life… My papa, Aniket Kapoor is the only father in my life.
Ishaan smiled and hugged her. They were quiet for some time.
ANIKA : You know Ishaan, Mihir bhai isn’t handling the business of Ahuja, he has made his own name but I know now after knowing about the truth everyone will judge him
because of his identity. I have seen the changes in people's eyes, from respect, it
changes into pity, mockery and many other emotions. I have already
faced it. I know how it feels.
ISHAAN : Anika, we shouldn’t care about those unimportant people. Their respect isn’t genuine. Who respects and loves us genuinely, their love doesn’t change based
on some trivial matter. So don’t care about them. Mihir also doesn’t care about their judgement. For him, we, his friends and family’s thinking matters, not some outsider's baseless judgement
Anika nodded her head in understanding.
--------------
Mihir was in his office reading some files when Anika entered the room without knocking and directly came in front of Mihir and hugged her.
ANIKA : I am sorry… I am sorry. Please forgive me. (Sobbing)
Mihir reciprocated her hug.
MIHIR : it’s ok angel … it’s ok.
Anika nodded her head negative…
ANIKA : No, it’s not ok… I am sorry... You have to forgive me. (said like an order)
MIHIR : ok I forgive you.
Mihir smiled hearing Anika’s tone, because he knew his old angel has returned.
Seeing Mihir and Anika hugging each other the two people who entered the office after Anika were feeling a little jealous.
The next moment seeing Anika's expression they both smiled happily. Anika was looking at Nitika with a smug smile, as if saying Nitika, look who I am hugging.
Seeing Anika’s expression Ishaan and Nitika both understand their old sassy, naughty,
jolly, lovely Anika is back. They were very happy.
