Anika didn't see him teary-eyed ever in her 5 years of marriage but he got welled up when she denied him to see his daughter. She was worried for Naina, She has been going through it every single day in her life. When her therapist's words came to her mind, She feared, She might be wrong, And she should have let him meet his daughter. Naina rushed inside their house. She looked around and ran towards the one room to the other room. 

"Naina, What happened?" - Anika asked her finally, Anika looked better than before when the medicines started to work. She started to feel alright after shivaay visits her. 

"Where is Papa?" - Naina asked her, Anika was shocked, How in the world she knew he visits their house. Anika looked at Greta who picked her up from the class. She nodded no to her. 

"What are you saying, Naina?" - Anika asked her in a bit higher tone. 

"I saw papa in my class, He's cheering up for me. Where is he?" - Naina asked Anika having tears in her black-beaming Eyes. Anika composed herself, Her welled up eyes reminded his welled up eyes for a second. He kneeled down up to her height and pulled her close to her. 

"Is Papa came to meet you?" - Anika asked her. 

"Yeah, He cheered up for me when I do the cartwheel, Before I could reach him, He left." - Naina said in a very low tone, She's almost a stage away to cry.

"He came to meet you but he has an important meeting to attend, So he left." - Anika lied looking at her as she can't tell her truth. 

"He always does this. I don't want to talk to him." - Naina said and moved to the bedroom and closed the door with a thud. 

"Naina, I will call him if you want. He will be loving to talk to you, Baby. Don't cry please." - Anika tried to console her when she heard her sobs from inside, Even the door was not locked, But Anika didn't dare to go inside and console her. Tears crossed her eyes when she realized it all happened because of her doubt. Greta left the house, She didn't know exactly what happened but she knew she was very rude to him.

She rested in the couch thinking about the incident again and again. She then realized He looked so thin from the last time she met him in the court, And she had no idea what had gone into her head. Naina stopped crying after a while and came out of the room. She walked towards Anika and placed her head in Anika's lap. Anika kissed her cheek, Over then she recalled his kiss on her forehead. She couldn't stop crying when Naina finally fell asleep in her lap. 

"I should have let him meet you, Sorry baby." - She kissed her little palms. 

Out of sudden, Anika's Phone rings. Her hands started to shiver when she saw her grandfather number flashing in her screen. She deleted his number but she couldn't forget his number ever due to her painful miseries. She didn't want to attend the call but she attended the fear of his male chauvinistic ego which can go to any extent. 

"Hello." - She spoke, There was a deep breath in return. 

"Hello, Anika, How are you, beta?" - He asked calmly. 

"Fine. Mr. Trivedi. How are you?" - Anika asked firmly, She stopped calling him daddaji from the moment she made her sign in the papers. 

"I can't say the same, Beta. But you're fine, That's enough." - He spoke, His tone and the way of talking slightly confused her. He never talked to her at that tone ever. 

"Why did you call?" - Anika asked him directly. 

"Just like that" -  Mr. Trivedi said. 

"What the hell going in your mind, Right now? Just for a few days, I got a little bit of peace in my life, Now you called me to destroy that. Please leave me alone. I got you what you want, right? Destroying my self-respect. Now the Trivedi's gene will go forward, Please don't call me, Again. I lost many things because of you, I don't have the energy to fight with you, Again. I am done. I am done with you, I am done with everyone. I am not asking for happiness, I am asking for a wave of peace, Please don't disturb me. Do you get that, Mr. Trivedi." - Anika said and rested the call. She was crying while talking to him but none of that heard by naina who was sleeping in her lap.

 She was in deep sleep. Naina was not the person who takes the Afternoon nap, She will be always running, playing, And talk with her toys during this time. But now, Nothing was the same at the place. Shivaay came to meet her after one month, And out of sudden, Her grandfather called her, It must be 2 in the morning in India. But after cutting the call, He didn't call her again. 

**************

Shivaay boarded to India as soon as he met Naina in her gymnastic classes. He tried not to meet her as Anika didn't permit him. But he couldn't stop himself when he felt so close to her.  He was there for the whole time when she was trying to flip, His heartbeat raced every time she fell in the ground trying to flip, He gritted his teeth in anger when the teacher helped other kids to flip every time but only helped Naina twice. 

He looked at her but tried on her own without asking her help. Her ignoring nature and focusing on success inherited from her father. He was delighted to see her like that. Over the third time, She looked so low. 

"Come on, Naina." - Words came from his mouth out of his control. She looked at him with surprise, Smiling wide. His heart went for her. He wanted to run, hug her tightly and shower her with kisses but he stopped himself. She tried, And this time, She was perfect in her flip. She turned towards him with the delight and smiley face. He couldn't stop himself from crying. Anika's words came to his mind. He left the place. He played to the whole scene in his mind, From Anika's health condition to her words. She was right from her point. 

It was who distance naina from him. He was the one who pushed anika to think like that. He tried to calm himself but he couldn't. That 21 hours went 21 years for him. He finally landed in his Home town. He didn't speak anything to anyone and got into his car. 

"Sir." - Khanna, His personal assistant called him while driving. 

"Yes, Khanna." - He responded. 

"Mr. Trivedi passed away before 3 hours in his house." - Khanna said. Shivaay got his attention back and looked at him.

"Which Trivedi?" - Shivaay asked him. 

"Satyajit Trivedi, Anika ma'am's grandfather." - He said. 

"What?" - He asked shockingly. 

"How?" - Shivaay asked. 

"Heartattack sir." - Khanna replied. 

He didn't wait for a moment but called anika. And thankfully she didn't block him back yet. The phone call attended in the second. 

"Hello." - He heard naina responding to his call. A smile appeared in his face automatically when he heard her voice. 

"Naina." - He called her sweetly. 

"Mumma, Pappa." - She gave the phone to anika without talking to him. 

"Shivaay." - She called him, He felt the heartache. But he continued to talk. 

"Did you get a call?" - He asked her. 

"Which call? What happened?" - Anika asked him. 

"Your grandfather passed away this morning." - Shivaay said in a low tone. Anika didn't speak for a while. 

"Anika, Are you there? Hello." - He called her. 

"Yeah, I am." - She responded. 

"Are you coming?" - He asked her. She didn't respond.

"Because it's mentioned in the legal documents which I signed before Taking Arush's custody. Arush has to do his last rituals." - Shivaay said. There were no emotions traveled because of his death. His death didn't affect them at all. 

"I will come, Please don't take him there alone. He will get scared. And I will manage to come there as soon as possible." - She said in a worried tone. 

 "Is everything okay?" - He asked her when he sensed some disturbances in her tone. 

"Naina broke her leg, Pulling some stunts in her class this morning. It's a fracture. That's why? I don't know how will I travel there." - Anika said in a distress. He became so worried when he learned about her fracture. 

"What were her teachers doing? Oh my god, Is it serious?" - He asked panickily. 

"She's bed-ridden, She couldn't walk." - She replied. 

"Damn. Then, Don't come. I will manage it. Please take care of naina." - Shivaay said to her. 

"No, Shivaay. I have to be there. Maybe this time will be the last time to visit the place where my mom lived her whole life." - Anika said, He stayed silent sensing the pain. 

"Then please don't say no to my request. I will arrange a private jet for you both." - He asked her. Anika was silent for a while but accepted his request later. Even he didn't order her but Requested her. 

"And Mr. Trivedi called me last night." - Anika said to him. 

"What did he say?" - He asked. 

"Nothing, But sounded so low." - Anika replied. 

"Okay, Don't think about it. Take care of Naina. I will call and tell you the details." - He said and rested the call. He didn't have any feelings for him especially after he heard about the bond. He would be happier if Nivansh trivedi was the person who died.
