Shivaay ... we can't able to get you ... please tell me what happened? - om asked in a high tone where shivaay blabbered everything to them. it was shocking for everyone but for anish and Ankit these are something which they can't even able to think, they are given, given to the core. it's really daring to them to even imagine about her pain where she experienced. they all are disturbed by the door-knocking sound and found nats at the doorstep.
"she regained her consciousness" - she said almost immediately when om opened the door. shivaay took off the trips from his hands and rushed to her ward. where omru ran behind him, anish and Ankit remain numb.
shivaay stood at the doorstep and recalled her words, if possible leave me, leave me forever. and his eyes searched for anish and Ankit.
om ... where are anish and Ankit? - shivaay asked omru where they saw them walking numbly from the ward, by then shivaay came to their side and shook them.
anish, Ankit ... - he called out both of their names where they both came to reality and looked at him numbly.
I know you guys are shocked... but she needs you both... I can't able to take any chances while going in front of her... do you guys get it? - shivaay said in a calm tone where he was broken to the core but decided to stay stronger for the sake of anika.
they nodded and gathered all their left out courage, went inside her room where she was lying with swallowed eyes, her veins were connected to trips. she looks lost completely lost in some other world.
they came towards her where she didn't even look at them, for her she was disappointed in being saved and getting back to life.
"we never left you to die" - anish started the conversation where anika quickly recognized his voice and turned around him in a shock.
"why you didn't try to contact us?" - Ankit immediately added when anish stopped.
"I was not allowed" - anika replied after a long pause where Ankit understood that it's total trash to talk about the past.
"anu, we are just having one request..." - anish asked her where she hmmed without even looking at them.
"come back with us, back to India, back to our family" - anish said with welled up tears where anika half-sat on her bed and said: "Hmm, but I am having one request instead"
"what?"- both asked in chorus.
"I DON'T WANT TO FACE THAT LADY AGAIN," anika said in a cold tone where anish and Ankit nodded to her decision. where anish went outside and Ankit stayed inside with anika who was broken to the core.
"what happened?"- shivomru bombarded him where he wiped his tears and said: "she's ready to come with us" where shivaay relaxed as he doesn't want to leave his anika alone here for any cost.
"and jiju ... thanks a lot for saving her... I know we are not worth even to say sorry but forgive us... please if possible" - he folded his hands in front of him where shivaay immediately said: "how can I forgive you if I really can't able to forgive myself? ... leave anish whatever happened is happened, we can't change that ... I just have only one wish... I just want to be with her... if possible forever" while wiping his tear where anish immediately excused himself and did a phone call to India.
****Flashback****
it was the time when anika went missing leaving the letter behind, where the whole Maheshwari's become heartbroken, Avni (anika's mom) blamed herself for being mean to her and also realized that she never gonna forgive her. meanwhile, shivaay used all his contacts and found anika boarded to newyork. with her passport details, they found her address in new york. where anish and Ankit became confused and asked Priyanka about his interest in her, where she told everything to them about anika's marriage with shivaay. they were shocked to the core. where Avni confronted athrav(anika's maamu) and her husband Arjun (her second husband)
you guys said she went abroad for studies... - Avni asked them with bloodshot eyes.
it was the time Avni when we got a call from magesh(anika's biological father) he told that anika jumped off from the cliff and they can't able find the body... - Athrav said in a low tone where its equally shocking for everyone including anish and Ankit where they don't have any idea about that. avni lost her balance where athrav tried to pick her up she gestured him to stop with bloodshot eyes, he was heartbroken.
I separated her from myself thinking that she'll become free from her so-called father after one year, you know how it pained when she begged me not to send her to her father's place. I should have listened to her. - avni cried by hitting her forehead.
but it's not in our hand right... avni - Arjun tried to console her but she gestured him to stop and went towards shivaay.
shivaay, I don't how to say thanks to you for being there with my daughter for these days... now I need one more help from you... bring her back... I swear I won't interfere in your life... I just want to see her happy always... please... - Avni asked him in a requesting tone where shivaay nodded and left.
****Flashback ends****
Jiju ... you want to be with her right? ... now none can even separate you from her ... not even anika ... - he said and explained his plan to him where shivaay nodded no immediately.
"no ... no ... I don't want to stress her... please drop the plan. - shivaay said to them where omru came and patted their shoulder.
shivaay do you think other than you anyone can take good care of her? she needs you shivaay... you both need your both support to cross this page in your life... for that, I can't able to find any other brilliant idea than this. - om said where shivaay seems to be convinced.
after 2 days
"I don't know how I all-time failed to reach you" - anika thought wherein these 2 days she hardly speaks to anyone where anyone asks any questions she will just reply them with yes or no nothing more than that. shivaay noticed everything from the doorstep but refused to come before her.
after a while, anish came with breakfast and started to feed her where she didn't say anything and had breakfast quietly. anish also didn't react to her and kept it in the table beside where anika held his hand much to his surprise he turned towards her.
"anish, I wanna go to India from the hospital, can you pack my stuff, we will go to the airport straight away from the hospital" - she said in a request tone where he cupped her face immediately, kissed her forehead and went outside.
where all the four went to the house and packed the stuff, shivaay went inside her room and opened her lower drawer, found many gifts, soft toys in that, he can't able to even look at it, his hands started to shiver on seeing that, he took one of the soft toys and imagined her playing image of Shreya with her parents by her side, he closed his eyes where his tear even couldn't withstand his pain so they came outside. and the sudden thought of anika strike his mind, then he kept that soft toy back to its place and went outside.
where he found rudy hiding the scrapbook from him, he smiled at him and asked raised his hands, he gave it to him where his hands shivering to the hell.
"Rudy, it's not just a book but my only memory of my daughter..." - he said and wiped his tears where omru came and hugged him. they packed the stuff and went out of the house, they reached the hospital where anika got ready to leave. she came outside and saw shivaay was sitting in the chair, she didn't even look at him and they all left.
their car parked near a private jet where anika became confused and looked at anish and Ankit.
"Oberoi's requested us, we can't able to say no to them" - They said and anika just nodded with disbelief.
"anika, what's with shivaay... you were friends right... why are you kept on ignoring him?" - anish immediately threw the question where Ankit glared at him for the wrong timing.
"there's a huge difference between sympathy and love, and I hate sympathy"- anika said where anish and Ankit remained silent.
they both went inside where anika ignored shivomru completely and sat in between anish and Ankit. she intertwined her hand with Ankit and placed her head on Anish's shoulder. during 20 hours of travel, anika didn't shed any word. silence traveled along with six of them.
they reached Mumbai where anish, Ankit and anika took a separate car where anish looked at obro's where they blinked their eyes with assurance. when anika entered into their house, her Nani welcomed her with teary eyes. when she entered into their house she shocked to see Avni(anika's mom) standing in front of her, where she glared at anish and Ankit they bowed their head down. she made her way towards anika.
how are you? - she asked in a calm tone.
was fine, not now... - she said in a cold tone.
okay ... get ready ... you're getting married today... - she said where anika became shocked and looked here and there where anish and Ankit bowed their head down trying to avoid her eye contact.
