Arush was diagonalized with viral fever due to the travel and cried a lot when anika approached him when his right leg connected with the supplement strings. She couldn't hold up the emotions. She didn't speak up anything. Sometimes she felt everything happening because of her. There naina is in trouble and here Arush is in trouble. 

"They have no sort of emotions with me nor naina. And it's all happening because of the property. Don't you think about talking with me before using your power?" - She asked him after a long time. He stayed silent. He felt responsible for everything.

"And you didn't say anything about it. They warned you to leave me. They kidnapped my 2-year-old and admitted her in an orphanage. And you didn't even think about sharing it with me." - He argued back. She moved aside and sighed disbelief. 

"I have my own reason to do everything. I am telling you frankly. I didn't know you love her this much. I thought someway or another way, You wished that she never existed in our lives, and the care you showed me when I was pregnant with Arush, Pushed me to think like this when you completely ignored naina on other hand. Everything happened out of the mistake. And I hid this issue because I didn't want to separate you from your family who thinks about you every time. Even though their ways were wrong. The ultimate truth is they did everything because they loved you unconditionally. And I never saw or felt this kind of love in my life." - She said welled up. He approached her and held her palms. He didn't raise his face. His mind oscillating, Initially he blamed her and now he understood her point of view. For anyone, Who doesn't know whatever happens to him will think the same. And this is not the correct time to explain everything to her. 

"Love and obsession are the two different things. Love makes a man live but the obsession didn't. It may even destroy a man. You still didn't understand, But I understood everything. And I suffered enough in my life. I never let anything happen to the people who really love me." - He said and moved ahead. But she held his palms and asked where he's leaving. 

"I already told you, I never let anything happen to the people who really love me. Trust me. I will make everything okay. Will you?" - He asked her holding her palms. 

"You're the only one I trust blindly in this world." - She said releasing his palms. He smiled and moved ahead. He knows what he was about to do and he also ready to go to any extent to get back to their happy life.

It had been seven hours since shivaay left. Anika was sitting next to arush in the ward looking at him. Her mind revolves around naina, She didn't want to leave her alone but her mind became impatient when she imagined the same situation faced with naina in her mind. She struggled to breathe. Her breath choked, Her hands started to shiver. She took the phone from the table and called shivaay. He didn't pick the call but messaged her back.

"Where are you? Why are you getting so late?" - She messaged him. 

"I am on my way. Will reach the hospital in 3 mins. Are you both safe?" - He messaged back. 

"Yes, I guess. Will you please come and take me to ritwik's house. I will stay with them for a while. I know I can't take her back with me. But I can stay with her. I can't let my baby alone there, Shivaay. I am getting impatient minute by minute." - She messaged, Her teardrops fell on the phone while she was typing too fast. He called her in the next minute.

"Ani. Relax. We will." - He spoke but everything cut off by her. 

"Please, Don't say anything. Please take me to their house. I can't let my daughter stay alone even for a minute." - She spoke while then the ward opened. 

"She will never stay alone even for a second." - He said in the phone as well in reality. Anika turned around and surprised to see him having sleeping naina in his arms. 

Her eyes welled up seeing her holding him. Her feet didn't wait for a second to reach them and cherish her daughter in her arms. For a while, She thought she left her forever. Her whole life became blank and dark without her daughter. She showered her with kisses just to make sure that she wasn't dreaming. She cried, Laughed, Smiled looking at her. But at last, felt her whole self getting back to her when both mother and daughter buried their faces in father's chest. 

"How?" - She raised her head and questioned him with welled up eyes. 

"It's just happened because of the trust you have in me." - He replied. But anika has no energy to ask him about anything and it's already late. All the three rested in the couch, Shivaay held naina in his chest and anika in his arm. No words exchanged but they felt the moment of relaxation. Over then, Naina woke up from her sleep in a jerk and relaxed seeing shivaay's face for a while. But the relaxation turned into tears in a few seconds. Her silent weepings woke them up.

"Baby! What happened?" - He asked making her sit properly in his lap. Anika rubbed her back when she cried bitterly. Naina didn't speak anything. 

"It's again a nightmare. I told you right, Ani." - Shivaay spoke, Anika initially looked at him confusingly but soon she understood his motive and started to play along with him. 

"Look, I have come back as soon as your mom told me that you're injured. Is it paining my dear?" - He asked while touching her wound. 

"Pappa." - She held his palms. 

"I am crying because..." - She wiped her eyes. "Because. I was in Ritwik uncle's house and he locked me in a dark room." - Naina explained confusingly. Even though it was very hurting to listen, Shivaay continued to act as nothing happened. Anika acted the same. 

"But you never went out of the hospital. How come ritwik would have locked you in a dark room? Did you have a nightmare again?" - He asked her. She looked around in a confusion.

"Okay, tell me one thing. Where you were in last night?" - He asked her innocently. 

"Hospital." - Naina replied. 

"Now, Where are we?" - Shivaay asked her again. She looked around and said, "Hospital".

"That's it, My dear. It's just a nightmare, Nothing happened." - He said pinching her cheeks. Naina hugged him in-return. 

"It seems so real. I even called you in my dream. You said I am a brave girl." - Naina said hugging him.

"That indeed true. My naina is the bravest girl in the world."- Anika replied while caressing her face when she hugged shivaay and faced her. 

"Yes, Mommy is right. That's true. Our naina is the bravest." - Shivaay said. She chuckled and hid her face in his chest. Both chuckled seeing her. 

"Arush?" - Naina asked raising her head in a jerk. Shivaay turned her face and make her look at him who was sleeping in the bed. She moved towards his bed and rested next to him, She continued caressing his cheek. Arush didn't get irritated but smiled in sleep. 

"Even we have to forget it as a nightmare, Ani." - He said hugging anika sidewards looking at their children. She nodded at him. Still, She has a question in her mind. How he managed to do everything. But she didn't question him and waited for him to open it up on his own.
