Oberoi family had arrived to the hospital, and were extremely worried watching shivOm's state .

Shivaay had to repeat the same sentence " I'm alright " a hundred times within an hour to somehow console them ,which was still impossible.

Annika waited at the hospital, but not near his ward . If his parents find out , it would bring another problem which is not needed as already they are stuffed with so many .

Ar- annika , you must be tired. We'll leave for now and tomorrow morning we'll come here . You have to rest ,

He insisted sitting beside her . The only person who understands her thoroughly is her baiya , and that very thing surprises her many times too. Even he was angry on shivaay for lying to them ,but true that he knew what kind of love shivika possesses for each other . He was totally aware that his sister's happiness lies only with shivaay . Nothing can change that ,and when it comes to her well being ...he's ready to do anything .

A- no baiya ,I want to be here .

She said straightly.

Ar- but ,you can't even see him with his family surrounded everywhere. Understand annika ,

A- mera dil nahi maan rahi hai baiya , what should I do ? You saw shivaay right ? He's so much in pain , I've to be with him .

She said being determined and Arnav sighed agreeing . All her anger on shivaay ,were actually fading as somewhere she had started realizing that his love for her was true . He did play an entire drama ,hiding things . But she couldn't comprise that his feelings for her remained a lie too. She would never say that.

That's when Om came there, he knew that annika was still waiting.

A- Om ,what did the Dr say ? He's ok ...right?

She asked being worried and he nodded before answering,

Om- yes bhabi ,he's fine ! He can be discharged tomorrow. Don't worry ,

Annika sighed in relief and soon something caught her mind ,she looked at Om for a second before speaking .

A- Om,I know there's something really big which he's hiding from me .Will you tell me the truth ?

She asked and Om looked away ,

Om- I don't understand what you're saying .

A- plss Om ,there's nothing you wouldn't know. He's going through something really serious and I'm aware of it very well. Don't you think I deserve to know the truth?

Om- it's nothing like that bhabi ,

He lied ,and the next instant he was shocked to watch her folding hands in front of him .

A- plss Om ,plss...what is it ? If you're so much in hiding it from me ,I'm sure it's certainly a very big thing . Plss ,tell me ...

She pleaded and arnav held her shoulders ,supporting his sister . Any brother wouldn't ever want to watch his sister going through so much in life . But his little sister was suffering alot which was indeed painful . But he knew something ...through all this ,she's never alone .

Om- bhabi ,bhabi plss . What are you doing ?

He held her hands and brought them down .

Om-  I've promised him that I'll never reveal anything par ,as a wife you deserve to know what's going on in his life .

He stated in a serious voice striking a sort of fear within her ,

A- you're scaring... me... Om ,

She stammered ,and he sighed before speaking .

Annika was horrified on listening to whatever Om said about the lady set out to take  revenge from shivaay .

She remembered the incident when his car brake had failed the other day ,and everything striked her.  If not Arnav had held her erect ,she would have lost her balance long back as she felt the land beneath shaking high on knowing that shivaay's life is in danger. She continued gulping in fear ,and bit her lips to control her tears which might turn to worse sobs if not thresheld. 

So that's why he agreed for divorce, to keep her away from all this. She understood ,he's suffering with so much and she didn't knew this even .

That very instant entirely flashed the contented love which she had hid within her for him ,was she so prepared to seek a life without him just because of her anger ? No, her love was still the same ...be it then or now , he still does remain her baby , she realized ! She can't let her love suffer alone ,

Ar- you could have filled a complaint right ? We can't just sit idle knowing about it ,

Om- nahi, shivaay doesn't want it . He thinks it might bring more problem to us.

A- so then ...? How are we going to solve this ?

She asked with a serious frown resting on her face ,

Om- bhabi ,shivaay is actually working on it . Already you have faced a lot, so don't take stress . We'll manage it, don't worry bhabi...

Before Om could complete,  he heard pinky's voice from behind .

P- bhabi?

All looked at her being shocked , as they didn't expect her there . Did she hear everything?

P- Annika tum yahan ? and Om , why are you calling her as bhabi  ?

The trio passed a tensed look on each other and none dared to answer pinky making her grow more suspicious. 

At the same time , due to the sudden rush of wind ,few papers from annika's file  flew off and surrounded the place all over . Arnav immediately fetched all the reports from the ground and one more sheet was left near pinky's feet. Unfortunately it was one from the file which carried her divorce papers. 

Pinky was extremely terrified on witnessing the paper where  Shivaay's name was mentioned as annika's husband . With the papers in her hands she neared and stood infront of annika who looked down immediately . Soon arnav reached by her side and held her hand tightly. Passing an angry glare on annika pinky voiced loud ,

P- Om ,  what's this  ? Ye sach hai kya  ?

Om remained silent,

P- bathao Om , is she shivaay's wife?

She shouted ,

With still not being able to answer her ,Om just let a slight nod and dared to look at her. Instantly her eyes widened in shock,

P- ye kya ho raha hai  , shivaay annika se shaadi?

She spoke being entirely bewildered ,watching which annika tried to voice out .

A- aunty ...vo,

Pinky actioned her to stop and immediately grabbed her hand ,pulling her along . Arnav and Om followed running behind them ,

Shivaay who just held the stand and positioned himself seated on the bed ,was baffled on watching pinky entering inside with annika along .

S - mom..?

Pinky signalled him to stop and ,

P- ye kaun hai ?

She asked pointing annika ,while he looked terrified with these sudden happenings . Annika watched him with a defeated face ,making him realize  . He gulped hard ,

A- aunty,

P- tum chup raho! shivaay ,I asked you something.  Who is she ?

She asked emphasizing each  word ,

He looked at annika and then at pinky again ,shakthi who stood there remained a silent observer  as he himself wasn't aware of what's going on.

S- mom ...She's Annika Shivaay Singh oberoi  , meri biwi .

His clear statement carried all sort of possessive ascent.  Shakthi reacted with a strong shock,

And the very next second shivaay felt a hard slap which landed straight on his cheecks.  He saw pinky glaring him strong ,

A- aunty!

At once annika jerked out of pinky's hold and stood between the both.

P- what have you done shivaay ? Shaadi kardiya tumne ? Your parents are still alive shivaay , ye sanskar diya humne tuje?

She asked with her eyes drowning in tears ,while he looked at her helplessly .

S- mom plss ,aise mat sochiye . Mein aapki beta hoon mom.

He tried holding her but she instantly jerked off .

S- dad ,bathayiye na usse? I ( interrupted)

Sh- kya bathaon ? Haan ? You didn't do right with us shivaay  , no .

He spoke harsh ,shaking his head continuously and shivaay's face was covered with guilt of hurting his parents .

P-  bina bathaye shaadi tho kardi , but divorce?

S- mom ,(interrupted)

P- annika, I'm talking to you. Bathao kya huwa ? Poora sach bathao,

She asked in a strict voice, without looking at him . True that she was terribly hurt ,with her only son to having already ignored her when it was about the most important decision of his life .

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 .
