Annika narrated everything which had happened for the past 2 years ,and pinky's anger grew more on him for have had lied to annika and married her .

Pinky glared him before making her slow steps near him , she found annika paving a block between her and shivaay . She gave a weak smile ,

P- so much has happened and still you want to support him ? Haan?

A- aunty vo( interrupted)

P- ha haan, don't worry . I won't slap him again. Baath bi tho nahi karoongi , thappad tho bahut dur ki baath hai . Whatever he has done with you is a sin , I'm ashamed of you shivaay .

Her voice carried the disgust which broke him worse as he had never seen his mom like this . He couldn't take this hatred from her which hurt him alot . He tried speaking something when he saw his mother immediately turning the other side without facing him .

Annika knew what was going within him and how painful he was feeling right now for hurting his mom . The person who hadn't ever passed a day without hearing his voice was ready to remain idle with him . He was left dejected. Annika could actually feel his inner misery .With still not facing him she traced her palm on the bed till it reached his hand and at once she held his hand tightly.

Feeling her grip he moved his sight to look at her as she was still back facing him . Before he could bend sideways to watch her face ,he felt her grip tightening more.

He knew ...his woman standing here was playing all strong and firm to protect and support him .

Pinky moved towards arnav and before he could react she folded her hands infront ,shocking him .

P- beta , Annika's parents aren't here . Par ,I have to do this . Sorry beta , sorry ! Shivaay ne bahut badi galthi ki hai , joot bolke shaadi ( she shook her head continuously)...Sorry

She spoke with her face covered with guilt , arnav immediately brought her hands down and shook his head .

Ar- aunty , the person to be angry has already forgot and forgiven everything . Tho phir ,who am I to be enraged ?

He stated looking at annika who reacted silent before passing a small spanned gaze on shivaay .

The Doctor had signed all the discharge papers ,and shivaay was ready to leave .

P- arnav beta , can I ask you something?

She asked in a serious tone while all the others looked at her keenly.

Ar- ji aunty .

P- kya mein annika ko OM le jaa sakthi hoon ?

She requested, and annika's eyes went wide as same as shivaay's .

In this situation, she staying with him was something he would leastly want . She mustn't get involved along which might bring her to danger . He feared ,

Without answering arnav turned his head to capture his sister's reaction .

She read her husband's face ,who had decided to take all problems by himself which she can never permit . If he's ready to do anything to keep her safe ,then why wouldn't she ? True that love belongs in her too, she can't leave him alone after knowing about all the threats ahead in his life.

She nodded looking at arnav , making shivaay hell worried .

Dr- don't stress yourself much and take your medicines on time .

S- ji Dr,

He nodded ,and tried getting off the bed . Stepping his leg on the floor ,he stumbled with his first few steps and slipped slightly.

Before pinky could run to reach him , she saw annika who had already caught him and held his hand crossing it around her shoulder ,supporting him to walk . Pinky couldn't ignore the sudden joy which arose watching the scene infront ,she smiled weakly. Indeed, she was somewhere happy for them !

OM

Annika was surprised to find jhanvi standing with the aarthi taal ,she smiled heartedly. Her in laws are so love .

Shivaay saw her wandering around the room . It was the first time she's here ,in their room ! This was something which he had always wished for ,but he couldn't feel his entire happiness leaping out as still situations were behaving an obstacle .

She loved the oceaned room all around, she knew ...blue is something which he owns for himself. Known to her ,he had 12 suits when he used to work for her father out of which 8 were blue ,every shade of that colour. If she must picturize him suddenly, her mind would definitely carry him in a blue suit. His very own thing!

Her thoughts were broken when she heard his voice,

S- annika,

A- hmm?

She responded passing a glance , and he took a step forward towards her . Meeting her eyes he initated ,

S- why ? Why did you choose me again ? After all this ...

He asked with a serious face which clearly depicted his worry and she just smiled low before speaking.

A- sach kahun tho, I myself am not sure if I had totally forgot everything and forgiven you . But when you are ready to sacrifice your love to protect me ,even I'm ready to stand by you to protect my love . Kya karoon ? Mere liye selfish nahi hoon par mere pyaar ke liye tho bahut selfish hoon ! I'm not ready to leave you alone in this ,

Her words ended with her eyes dragging long tears from within . The same moment he could feel his own eyes bringing down the same salted water . She mentioning him as her love ! Had't his ears been dieing to hear this ever since that dreadful day ? She gently wiped his tears and gave him an assuring smile . He looked at her concerned face keenly before speaking,

S- annika, I don't want you in trouble. Try to understand, tum aur hamari baby (interrupted)

A- I'm fine here shivaay ( a long pause )with you .

She spoke in a calm voice when her mobile rang flashing papa . She looked at him hesitantly before attending the call ,

A- papa,

M- annika ,our lawyer had called me ,he said that you have withdrawn from your divorce case. Is that true? Where are you now ?

He asked in a suspicious tone ,and she looked at shivaay for a second before replying,

A- papa vo...I'm with shivaay , I ( interrupted)

M- bass ,bass! Ye sab ke baadh bhi ,you've chosen him over your papa haina?

His voice raged in anger ,

A- papa ...

M- you don't have to tell me anything. Tum kab hamare baare be sochthi ho?  ,for you it's always him who matters .

A - papa ,listen to me

M- phirse pagal bana diya na hamien? Don't ever try to contact us , sochlo ki teri maa ,baap mar chukki hai .

He vented out and cut the call immediately,

A- papa...papa ?

She crushed closing her eyes to control her tears ,and wiped then instantly. 

He knew what would have happened. He gently placed his hand on her shoulder feeling which she looked at him . She tried hiding her state ,and presented a quite faint smile on her face .

The next second she felt her entire self being pulled ,to be  engulfed into his embrace . She clung onto him hard ,that he had to move back a few steps to seek balance.  It's ok ,doesn't matter now . Both of them were so much in need of this moment .

Sensing her continuous sobs wetting his neck region ,he palmed her head and caressed it softly.

One thing is of certain ,she is his treasure! Whatever she is facing now ,is something which anyone wouldn't  dare to handle ever ,but still with everything happening around she's here to stay with him .

His woman was always like this, from opening their love to her father till today , he remained her first preference and that mere thing itself declares how  serene her love exists for him .

Even now she's ready to hide her pain to comfort him ,literally he could do nothing which could suffice to balance her kind of love . And knowing that he is the one who owns her pure love certainly makes him feel proud and provokes and unending joy in him .

Such selfless love is something really rare which is to be treasured ,that's why he is feared much . What if ? What if his past brings her into trouble ? He won't be able to forgive himself if that so happens , but true that he also knew when he's along nothing could happen to her .

She is his life !

His hands gradually wrapped her entirely taking her completely within ,as he held her close . Once again ,he could breathe life with her in his arms for which he had been yearning all these days .

She clutched onto his neck tight,until she could loose her whole self in his grip. Only he could heal her now and she knew that very well.  However cruel their fate might play around, but at last he's the man whom she had always possessed in her heart . Nothing can change that, maybe she's ready to give him another chance ....after all ...he's her love ...her life !
