Shivaay caressed Anika's face and kissed her forehead again

"I am sorry Anika for not being with you at that time when you needed me the most . I am sorry now I will make sure to make your everyday beautiful. And I love you Anika... I love you a lot", said Shivaay sobbing between his cries

He layed himself beside her and hugged her.

"Now I will make everything fine Anika",said Shivaay and slept hugging her

In morning

Anika woke up at 8: 00 Am

"Ohhh bete ki itna late. That too after 5 years. But one thing I must say is that I slept peacefully today", said Anika to herself yawning. She knew the reason of her peaceful sleep and smiled.

Then she noticed Shivaay beside her. It didn't took much time for her to notice that he had cried last night..

Anika ruffled his hairs lightly and kissed his forehead. He looked very cute in sleep. She was unable to take her eyes off from his face

"Love you a lot Shivaay. I am still feeling it as a dream to see you with me. It's like my dream came true. You know what yesterday I slept peacefully after 5 years because I was in your arms . I was used to wake up early in these years but never slept peacefully", said Anika while caressing his hairs and got up but she was pulled by Shivaay who was faking his sleep

"Love you too and it's not dream. Wake up I think you are still in sleep. Good morning", said Shivaay pulling her beside him lovingly

Anika stared him because he confessed his feelings after 5 years . It's not like they didn't confessed yet, they did but Shivaay was lost after coming from jail. Shivaay didn't answered her confession before too that's why she was shocked.

Shivaay understood that what she must be thinking

"Don't think much about me. I am your husband only", said Shivaay to make her mood light which actually did

Anika smiled and placed her head on his chest

"What happened Shivaay why you cried last night?", asked Anika in serious tone

To which Shivaay Hugged her very tightly. He started crying again remembering her struggles and their baby.

"Shivaay ....", Whispered Anika after hearing his sobs

Anika looked up and saw him crying. She panicked

"Is it paining somewhere Shivaay? What happened?", asked Anika being scared seeing his tears. She cupped his face in her hands and caressed his cheeks

"Yes it's paining here", said Shivaay while pointing towards his heart

"Why didn't you told me about Everything Anika", asked Shivaay crying more

Anika wiped his tears. She was confused what he is talking about? Depression or be got to know something else?

"About what",asked Anika and looked in his eyes to find guilt. He looked down when she stared him

"About past Anika, what you suffered, our child everything Anika", said Shivaay while crying like a baby

"Sh... Shivaay I....I am sorry", whispered Anika and started crying. She knew who can tell him about her past. She knew it very well that Khanna will not lie when it comes to Shivaay. She thought that asking forgiveness is the best way to stop him from being guilty

Shivaay wiped her tears

"No more crying from now. We will start a new life from today. ", Said Shivaay in determination that he will make her upcoming life better than this
