Tere liye hum hain jiye, 
honThon ko siye

tere liye hum hain jiye,
har aansoo piye

dil mein magar jalte rahe,
chaahat ke diye
tere liye, tere liye

(I have lived for you,
with my lips sealed.
I have live for you,
drinking every tear drop.
but there were the lamps of love
burning in my heart.
for you, for you.)

zindagi le ke aayi hai beete din ki kitaab
ghere hain ab humein yaadein behisaab
bin poochhe mile mujhe kitne saare jawaab
chaaha tha kya, paaya hai kya, humne dekhiye
dil mein magar jalte rahe, chaahat ke diye
tere liye, tere liye

(Life has brought me the book of old, past days,
now I'm surrounded by uncountable memories.
I got so many answers without even asking.
Look, what we had wished, and what we got.
Yet, there were lamps of love burning in the heart,
for you, for you.)

kya kahoon duniyaa ne kiya, mujh se kaisa bair
hukm tha, main jiyoon, lekin tere baGair.
naadaan hain wo, kehte hain jo, mere liye tum ho Gair
kitne sitam, humpe sanam, logon ne kiye
dil mein magar jalte rahe, chaahat ke diye
tere liye, tere liye

(What do I tell you, what ill will the world had against me.
The order was that I should live, but without you.
Those are naive, who say that you are not my own.
We were tortured so much by the people,
but there were lamps of love burning in the heart,
for you, for you.)

THE TWO PAIRS OF EYES, WHO WERE DESPERATE TO SEE EACH OTHER FROM SO LONG, WHO WERE DIEING TO EMBRACE EACH OTHER TO DISSOLVE IN EACH OTHER'S BEING, WHO WERE DIEING TO HEAR EACH OTHER'S VOICES, NOW WERE INFRONT OF EACH OTHER. THEY WERE SO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER YET SO FAR.

Their eyelock was broken by Rudra and Bhavya as they couldn't control anymore. Anika came back from her dream world and hugged them. She was patting their backs to calm them. Breaking the hug she saw Om and Gauri standing there with tears in their eyes. But soon both of them turned their faces to other side showing their anger to her like babies do when their mumma gives attention to someone else.

Anika chuckled at the behavior of these two babies. Anika first went to Om and holding her ears said "shorry", in a babyish voice. Om couldn't ignore his bhabhi cum friend and sister. He hugged her and also consoled each other.

Breaking the hug Anika looked at Gauri who was still not ready to look at her and was silently crying looking towards the other side. Anika looked at Om and he and signed her through his eyes to go ahead.

Anika stood infront of Gauri and she said, "Won't you firgive your Anika Bhaujayi ?"

The last string of Gauri's patience broke and she just broke down in Anika’s arms. Her sobs turned into loud cries. Afterall, Chutki was meeting her Pari Di after so long. She cursed God for separating them again and again. But now it's enough. Chutki wouldn't let anyone separate her from her Pari Di. After breaking the hug Anika wiped Gauri’s tears nodding in a no with a teary smile.

Gauri : Why did you leave me, Pari Di?

Anika was shocked to hear this from Gauri's mouth. It took her a minute to realise that Gauri was actually her little sister Chutki. She hugged her once again and showered her face with motherly kisses.

All this while, one pair of kanji eyes was in his own thoughts. He was thinking about his two rupee fate. It had given him an angel but he lost her because of his own stupidity. Everything would've been fine if he had told Anika about his plan. He was happy to see the love between his siblings and his wife but he was miserable that she didn't even look at him. Only if he knew that she was just pretending to ignore him but actually her whole concentration was on him and that he is the only one who rules over her broken heart. It is only him who have all the rights on her heart, who have the power to make her live, to love and laugh and to make her feel special and the most important, to heal her. Finally gathering some courage he called her.

Shivaay : Anika !

His voice was low but full of love and sweetness. Was that sweetness in his voice or was it the magic of the name of his love that made it sound so good ? He didn't know.

But may be God didn't want to let him hear his name in her melodious voice. The moments of the reunion were broken by Maan and Geet's voices who came there to meet Anika.

Maan : Anika, who are they ?

Anika introduced all of them to Maan and Geet saying they were her FRIENDS except for Shivaay, which hurt Shivaay because  she didn't tell her real relation with them and then she ignored him but he knew he deserves this. The way Anika addressed them as her friends didn't go unnunnoticed by Om, Rudra, Gauri and Bhavya. The tension between the atmosphere, Anika’s fumbling, her not introducing Shivaay to them didn't go unnoticed by Maan abd Geet. They decided not to ask Anika anything. They knew they have a connection with Anika’s past, especially Shivaay. So they decided to ask them later.

OmRu noticed Shivaay’s feelings and his inner turmoil so they thought to give them their own time. They asked maan abd Geet to show them the cafe.

Everyone except Shivaay and Anika left from there. Now only the two souls were left there in an awkward silence which never existed in them, not even when they were strangers or when they were boss and employee.

Anika, not being able to control her emotions and her silly heart wanted to run away. Far away from this person, who was the robber of her heart and the stone that broke it. It was actually not her fault but her stupid heart and mind who were constantly poking their nose. Her mind was asking her to leave from here, to stay away from him. On the other hand, her CHILDISH HEART wanted to go and hold him so tightly that even God will not be able to separate them.

Unlike always, her mind won over her heart and she decided to leave. She was leaving only to be held by him. He held her wrist while she was back facing him and crying. She bit her lower lip to control her sobs but failed miserably.

He listened her sob and cursed himself for making her cry. He took a step forward so that he was close to her and he back hugged her. They were close to each other, looking perfect, just like two parts of a puzzle, two different colours who made another beautiful colour by blending into each other. It was the color of true love, which was deep and pure. It didn't fade even when they were far away from each other.

Anika was lost in his magic, which always created a spark inside her heart. But her mind again poked his nose in their moment. Anika, with all her might pushed him away from her and came out of his hold. Without giving a look to him she moved ahead. But Shivaay came infront of her as he wanted her to talk to him.

Shivaay: Anika please just listen to me once. I know I did wrong but I had no idea that it'll hurt you to this extent. Please Anika, I..I'm not saying you to forgive me but please give me one chance to earn that forgiveness.

Anika: I have to go. It's time to close the cafe.

She said to him without making an eye contact.

Shivaay : Anika please..

Anika: Please let me go. Don't create a seen here.

Maan and Geet, Om and Gauri, Rudra and Bhavya went to the garden. Maan asked the question which was continously bugging him. Geet was shocked as he asked it a little rudely but she can also understand how much Maan is attached to Anika. She still remembers the day they first met her. They had come to the MOON AND STARS CAFE as it was new here and they wanted to spend time with each other. Anika waa taking their order when she suddenly fainted. They took her to their home as they got to know from a worker of cafe that Anika lives all alone. As anika was pregnant, they didn't want to leave her alone. That day Maan told her about his sister who died during her pregnancy as she was living alone. He said "I remembered my sister after seeing her". After that day the Maan, Geet and Anika became best of friends and also the brother - sister bond between Maan and Anika grew stronger as the time passed.

She came out from her thoughts as she heard Maan shouting at Oberois. She tried to calm him down but he was in no mood to do that. 

Maan : No Geet I know Anika and all of them have a relation more than friendship and they have to tell us about it. Have you seen Anika’s condition. The pain she have in her heart I want know its reason.

Geet kept quite as may be he was rude but not wrong either. Om, Rudra, Gauri and Bhavya, after listening about Anika’s condition decided to tell everything to Maan and Geet.  They told ttem everything. From Shivika's marriage to how Anika left the house. With each word Maan's anger was increasing.

Om : Seeing your concern for Anika Bhabhi I understood one thing that you want to see her happy. Shivaay did wrong but he is repenting. These two months he was living like a corpse. We have seen his pain.. His soul lives in Anika bhabhi. If anyone can make Anika bhabhi happy than it's only Shivaay. If someone can make her the old, haply Anika, then it's Shivaay.

Geet was convinced but Maan was still not ok with this. Then they heard Shivaay shouting and they ran towards that direction.

Shivaay ( Little louder ) : Anika why aren't you listening to me ? Atleast listen to me once. I'm asking for one chance please.

He saw tears brimming in her honey brown orbs and he wanted to kill himself for getting impatient. He spoke in a softer voice.

Shivaay : Anika, sorry... I'm sorry. I had no intention to hurt you. I won't hurt you, please Anika. You kow I tried to find  you everywhere I could. Why did you leave me, Anika ? You knew what you mean to me. I...

The last line of Shivaay made Anika angry. All the frustrations, anger and pain came out and she poured it out like a heavy rain which just destroyed Shivaay's hopes badly and also broke his heart into tiny, countless pieces.

Anika (chuckled) : What I mean to you ? You only say this but actually you yourself don't know what am I to you. Today I'll tell you. I NEVER EXISTED IN YOUR LIFE. YOUR FAMILY IS EVERYTHING FOR YOU. I AM NOT SAYING YOU ARE WRONG.  I ALWAYS KNEW THAT YOUR FAMILY IS NUMBER ONE FOR YOU AND BELIEVE ME I NEVER TRIED TO TAKE THAT PLACE. I WAS HAPPY BEING NUMBER TWO. BUT THAT DAY I REALISED THAT I JUST DON'T EVEN EXIST IN YOUR LIFE. BEING NUMBER ONE WAS IMPOSSIBLE. IF SOMEONE WOULD'VE TOLD YOU TO DO ALL THOSE THINGS TO ANY OF YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT. BUT IT WAS ME, MIDDLE CLASS, ROADSIDE TRASH WHOM YOU CAN TREAT IN ANY WAY, IT DOESN'T MATTER. I WAS A TOY, JUST A TOY. IF YOU FEEL LIKE PLAYING, YOU HOLD IT. IF YOU FEEL BORED, YOU JYST THROW IT AWAY. I WAS A PUNCHING BAG. WHEN YOU USED TO BE ANGRY OR FRUSTRATED, YOU USES TO COME TO ME AND POUR YOUR ANGER OUT. I'M JUST A WAY TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS. YOU MARRIED ME FORCEFULLY FOR YOUR REPUTATION, THEN YOU THREW ME OUT, YOU INTRODUCED SOMEONE ELSE AS YOU WIFE. THEN YOU SAID YOU DON'T KNOW ME .

Anika lost her patience and shouted.

Anika : I WAS JUST A WAY TO FULFIL YOUR ONE NIGHT STAND WISH ! IF SOMEONE WOULD SAY, YOU WILL SAY THE CHILD GROWING IN MY WOMB IS SOMEONE'S SIN...

As soon as those filthy words came out of her mouth, shivaay who was standing there like a statue listening her accusations silently, became angry. He couldn't stand such filthy words from her mouth about herself and for the symbol of their love, their child. He just slapped her, due to which Anika stumbled. But Maan and Geet came at right moment and held her protectively. Om, Rudra, Gauri and Bhavya were too numb to react seeing that condition of Anika.

Anika broke down completely. She was crying hysterically. Shivaay realised the mess he created. He was going to touch Anika when Maan gave a deadly glare to him as a warning. Anika fainted in Maan's arms. All of them panicked. They quickly took her to Anika’s house and called the doctor. All were waiting for doctor to come out.

The doctor came out and said in a rude manner to Geet and Maan.

Doctor : Didn't I tell you both to take care of her. Stress is dangerous for her. FIRST of all, her body isn't supporting thus pregnancy and to top that off, she's carrying twins. If this thing happened again then we won't be able to do anything. Please take care of her.

Listening to the doctor, Oberois were stunned, happy, sad and what not. Anika was in this condition and they were the reason. She had to tolerate so much because of them. But in their own thoughts noone noticed Shivaay who went out. OmRu went out to search him and the scene infront of them made them weak on their knees. Shivaay was banging his hand on a tree stem continously. His hands were all red due to blood. They rushed to stop him.

Om : Shivaay, what are you doing? Please stop it.

When shivaay was not ready to listen, Om slapped him. Shivaay realised his surroundings and fell on his knees crying badly on his fate and his deeds.

Shivaay : I destroyed everything, Om. I destroyed her. I don't deserve her. I deserve to die, Om. I deserve to die.

Om : Stop it, Shivaay.  How can you say this ? Think about bhabhi. Bhabhi and your children need you. You are the reason of her condition but only you can heal her.

Shivaay understood this and that, he need to make everything ok. He has to give Anika the happiness she deserves. He stood up abd wiped off his tears. He made his way towards the house.

Anika was conscious by then. Gauri and Bhavya along with Maan and Geet were trying to cheer her mood up.

Gauri : Bhoujayi your house is very beautiful.

Anika smiled lightly in response. She said she wants to rest for sometime so all of them exited her room. Shivaay, Om and Rudra came back and Maan started giving angry glares to Shivaay whereas Geet didn't know how to control her husband's anger.

They came back to their cottage as Geet assured them that she and Maan were there to take care of Anika. Om told all of them that tomorrow they have to go back to Mumbai. Everyone reluctantly agreed. But Shivaay had other plans.

Shivaay : You all go, I have some incomplete works to complete.

He walked towards his room doing his usual hair flick. Om, Rudra, Gauri and Bhavya had a smile on their faces.
