"It has been two long days... still no trace of Ms. Anika, where is she? Why did she killed Shivay... the most hot news of today's date. We connected with Mr. Tej Singh Oberoi yesterday and it is his say..." said the reporter airing on the clip of Tej's statement.
"I am spellbound and running out of words to say anything, Anika... the girl with whom we decided to fix the alliance of our son has killed our son, we have loved her and she did this to us. We request our honourable police force to catch her soon and to ensure that she gets the right punishment. Please now... please leave our family alone. We don't want anymore media visits or press conferences for some days. Our family will take time to cope up with the loss... please" Tej concluded folding his hands with tears running down his eyes.
The reporter started to speak again "...so by seeing Mr. Tej Singh Oberoi's state we can clearly say that how much broken The Oberoi Family is now. We tried to contact the family thereafter but everyone denied to come in front. Shivay's last rituals were done at his Mumbai house the day before. Only family members were there and other medias and relatives were restricted. We would love to conclude this matter for today by saying may his soul Rest In Peace." the reporter shifted to the next news.
A busy hospital got flashed over. The down floors were as busy as no one can imagine but the top floor was silent from past week. Some construction work is going on. Tight security is fixed up there so that no one other than selected members are getting the permission to go in.
"Maa... why isn't he opening his eyes?" Anika asked resting her head over Pinky's shoulder.
"Relax... doctors saids na it is because of traumas... you don't worries" Pinky said ruffling Anika's hair.
Tej and Shakthi came out from a cabin with two doctors. "Doctor... you said he will regain his consciousness but..." Tej was saying when doctor stopped him in middle and completed his sentence "Mr. Tej... see this is a pure case of trauma... his brain is responding sometimes and sometimes it is behaving as dead. Medication won't help that much. We are trying to stimulate his PNS (Peripheral Nervous System)... we got success as his body parts showed movement but his brain will respond soon. Just don't worry"
"He will not slip into coma right?" Shakthi asked as fear was clearly visible.
"No... no no... his brain is not damaged, relax don't over stress yourself" the doctor in his late sixties patted Sakthi's back and assured him while going away.
Jhanvi and Daadi were sitting at some corner waiting for some good news. Prinku walked up to them with two glasses of water.
"Mom... Daadi... have this" Prinku extended the glass.
"Where is Anika?" Jhanvi asked with full concern as she has not seen her from a longer time.
"She is with Choti Maa... I thought let them sit alone for sometimes... the mother-daughter time is also needed right?" Prinku asked sitting beside Jhanvi.
"Yes beta... you are my grown up bachcha... Anika has helped you so much na... you behave so strong now" Jhanvi said. Prinku smiled and nodded while Jhanvi pecked on Prinku's head.
Tej and Shakthi walked towards Daadi and Jhanvi along with Anika and Pinky.
"Puttar... when are you going?" Daadi asked looking at Anika.
"Daadi tomorrow morning" Anika replied.
"Beta... go and get some sleep, you haven't slept since that day... please go" Jhanvi said to Anika.
"Badi maa... I am fine, I just hope I see Shivay speaking to everyone normally before I go" Anika said sitting down and keeping her head over Jhanvi's lap. "He will be fine, don't worry" Jhanvi said brushing her hand over Anika's head.
"Ask OmRu to go and have something... they are hungry since morning... Prinku you go beta" Pinky sent Prinku to call OmRu who were sitting in front of Shivay. OmRu came out with Prinku when Pinky went inside the cabin. She took Anika in forcefully as Anika is being denying and it was the first time she walked into the cabin. She cannot see her Shivay lying like a lifeless body but this time she was forced.
Pinky sat on the stool while Anika stood behind her. Pinky started to ruffle his hair while Anika's tear started to drop.
"Hey... do like this, he will feel good" Pinky said showing and asking Anika to ruffle Shivay's hair. Anika started to ruffle his hair while Pinky was looking at her son and daughter.
"Ann..nniikk..ika" came a soft slow inaudible voice. He spoke up and she ran out fearing he will react out seeing her in front of him.
"Shivay... your maa is here beta... open your eyes... open your eyes beta" Pinky said. He slowly and gradually opened his eyes. Her touch did magic over him and his eyes were searching her when all the moments and her gun shot run through his mind in a jiffy... why did she do that? She hated me... she hates me?" he started to cry like a kid hoping that his mother will say a no and will give all his answers but his health was not enough okay to listen to everything.
All the family members and doctors went in. "He will be fine... you all can discharge him in four days..." doctor said smilingly. The bullet was so perfectly shot that it just passed through his body without damaging any organs. She perfectly knew the lesson of guns and bullets and everyone had faith in her that her trembling hands will also not allow a single bullet to pierce any of his organs. The family couldn't be happy the way they were expecting because the very next day they are sending their daughter, Anika, in another dreadful situation.
Doctors congratulated each other and her eyes saw everything from the glass of his cabin door. Shivay was numb to react but her last actions are forcing him to stress his brain. He asked out questions related to Anika to which everyone strictly advised not to think about her. He was adamant to know the answers of his question but again as usual thinking about his family he opted to become normal soon and then he, himself will find all his answers.
Sahil came and held Anika's hand.
"You will go away from us? You will not return ever?" he asked. She looked down and broke down holding him near to her heart.
"Sahil... will you promise me one last thing?" she asked wiping her tears after sometime. He just nodded as his fear of loosing his didi is not allowing his throat to function properly. She continued "you will never say it to anyone that your Shivay Jiju is alive and you will never let your Shivay jiju know that I was here in front of his cabin... promise?" Anika asked.
"You will then not leave me and go na?" he asked. Her tears and her arms wrapped around Sahil again.
"No... then I will complete all my works soon and will come back to you super soon" she lied but she had too.
"Okay then... promise" Sahil's jolly nature was back a bit. She smiled and kissed her brother.
Everyone came out of the cabin. Anika hugged one by one. Mr. Chatterjee came from behind.
"Anika... you have to come along with me now... media is behind us, and you have to leave for your mission in the middle of the night" Mr. Chatterjee said rubbing her back.
"Yes..." she said and left a sigh. For the last time she looked at everyone and looked at Shivay who was waiting impatiently for his family to go in again.
"Love you Shivay..." she said and turned around. He looked at the door and "Anika..." came out of his mouth as the reflex as if he got to know Anika called him.
"Beta... jeet ke hi wapas aana... warna mere saamne mat aana (Anika... only return when you win, not before that)" Pinky said and hugged Anika while tears were continuously flowing down from their eyes.
Anika wrapped OmRu and Prinku in her arms and advised them to take everyone's care. She sat down to the height of Sahil and kissed him and went away covering her face so that no one gets to recognise her.
PRECAP- ANIKA GETS CAUGHT... don't wanna ask stupid question but doodles I have been planning something from the first day of this story. So directly asking that.
How many of you will support me if I write a rape scene (not exactly I will describe but something of that sort). I mean I know no one is expecting this but as I said this story will turn darker and will highlight the sensitive issues of 21st century so the thought of writing something like this is really making my nerves excited. I don't want to sound rude or adamant but I seriously want to write over this. You all will support na?
Please do hit the star button and leave all your comments down. Who ever will support me to put in my views over this matter in this forum do comment down too. Cause I seriously wanna speak out or say express out.
LOVE LOVE- NILANJANA
