Karte hain hum aaj qubool kya keeje,
Ho gayi thi jo humse bhul kya keeje,
Dil keh raha use mayassar kar bhi aao,
Woh jo dabi si aas baaki
hai,
Woh jo dabi di aanch baaki hai.....

Oberoi Mansion,

      Om and Rudra entered into the mansion shouting daadi's name. Om asked one servent and he told that daadi is in her room. OmRu rushed to daadi's room.

Daadi's room,

      OmRu was about to open the door when they heard that daadi was talking with Gauri and Bhavya.

Gauri-"Daadi, those dresses reached to Annika bhojai."

Daadi-"Really?"

Bhavya-"Yeah.....means we gave it to Shivaay Bhaiya n ask him to deliver it to bhabhi indirectly."

D-"Chalo accha hua. I hope she likes it."

B-"Daadi, you know na where she lives?"

G-"Haa daadi, please tell us na..... I want to see her once."

B-"Haa we promise daadi, we will not come in front of her. We will just see her by distance."

D-"Arre but Billu....."

      Daadi stopped as she saw Om and Rudra at the door. They both looking at daadi and Gauri-Bhavya angrily.

B-"Aap... dono?"

      Bhavya asked stammering and looked at Gauri. Rudra ran towards daadi.

Rudra-"Daadi, is it true??"

G-"K..... Kya Rudy Bhaiya?"

O-"Daadi, Annika bhabhi...... Is here ......n you knew about it?"

D-"Woh.....na na..... She is not here we just....."

O-"Daadi we saw bhabhi today."

G-"What??"

R-"Haa n that too in Shivaay Bhaiya's office."

      Daadi looked at Gauri-Bhavya.

O-"Daadi, what's all this? When bhabhi came to Mumbai? Why she was in Shivaay's office? N if you knew about it from before why you didn't tell us?"

R-"Yeah daadi, we want answers for each n every question. If you knew this from before, why you didn't tell us? You know na me n O were searching for Annika bhabhi from more than one month now."

      Daadi and Gauri-Bhavya were silent.

R-"Tum dono toh batao?"

      Daadi just looked at them.

O-"Fine. You don't want to tell na? I will go n ask bhabhi then."

      Om turned to go.

D-"Om stop."

      I'm turned towards daadi.

D-"Ruk. Mein batati hu."

      Daadi told them whole the truth. OmRu were shocked by this whole revelation.

R-"O, hume bhabhi se milne jaana hoga"

O-"Haa chalo."

G-"Omkara ji pagal hai kya aap. Please don't do this."

O-"Don't stop us Gauri. You didn't tell us before n now you don't want us to meet bhabhi. Why?? No I am not going to listen anything. I am going to meet bhabhi. N hum bhabhi ko aaj hi ghar lekar aayenge."

R-"Haa O, hum bhabhi ko ghar lekar aayenge aaj hi."

D-"Shut up you both. I told you whole truth na. I told you na what Billu wants, n why he is doing all this?"

O-"Daadi, Shivaay is mad. Annika bhabhi suffered a lot. N still he is torturing her. No we are going to meet bhabhi."

D-"I told you reasons also na? And don't take any wrong step. Billu knew that you both not listen and....."

O-"And isiliye usne hume nhi bataya. Hai na?"

G-"Haa. Hume bhi mana kr diya."

D-"Om, we are always there for Annika. But you know na in which condition Billu was from that day. On one side he was broken because of Pinky's condition n on other side Annika left him when he needed her a most."

O-"Yeah daadi we knew everything. Both suffered so much in last few days."

R-"Haa both are in pain. But still Bhaiya n bhabhi's Tadi..... They both need each other but will never admit it soon."

O-"Haa n in this process they will hurt each other more. N we don't want it."

D-"Haa Om. We knew all this. But think about Shivaay na, he is doing all this for....."

O-"N what about Annika bhabhi? Why he is torturing her if he loves her, if he wants her back in his life. You don't even know daadi how he behaved with bhabhi on that auction that too in front of media people."

D-"I know Om and I scolded him for that. N he promised me that he will not do anything like that again. He just want Annika to do something for him, for their relation."

G-"Haa Bhaiya wants bhojai to fight with everyone for him, he wants her to fight with him for her rights."

B-"Haa Bhaiya, we all know na they thinks about whole world before them. They cared for others but not for themselves. N now they have to fight for each other. Fight for their rights on each other. Fight for their relation."

      Om started thinking.

D-"Om, give them some time. If they don't able to get together again or if Shivaay will do anything wrong. Then we can take action. Then we will talk with them. But not now. Give them chance to solve their problems by their own."

      Om looked at Rudra and he nodded.

O-"Thik hai daadi. We will not meet bhabhi and we will not ask anything to Shivaay. But still I think this is not right. But if you all thinks it's right then ok. This thing is true that they have to solve their problems by their own. N I am giving this chance to them. But if Shivaay will hurt bhabhi again na then....."

D-"Don't worry Om, he will not hurt now."

O-"Let's see."

      Om said and left the room. Rudra also said the same thing and went behind Om.

Shivaay's office,
Shivaay's cabin,
      Shivaay was busy in work when he got phone call from Tej. There was some problem in one contract so Tej wants Shivaay to come n check that. Shivaay said ok and cuts the call.

      Shivaay came out of his cabin. He was walking towards the door but stopped in middle as she didn't feel Annika's presence around him. He slowly turned his gaze to her desk and was shocked as her desk was empty. He looked around searching her. But she was no where to be seen. Shivaay was about to ask someone when he saw Ramona coming to him.

Ramona-"Hello sir."

Shivaay-"Ramona, where is Annika?"

R-"Annika?? Ha she is on leave."

S-"Leave?? But she came in morning....."

R-"Haa haa. She came in the morning but don't know what was wrong with her. She came to me in afternoon and said she is not well and want to go home."

S-"Not well? What happened to her? Why you allowed her to go by her own? Why you didn't tell me about it?"

R-"Sir sir relax. She came to me n ask for leave. She was looking very weak n upset about something. Her face was pale n I think she cried too."

S-"Cried?? But why??"

R-"I asked her but she said she is having headache n want to go home. So I told her go by my car. But she denied. But don't worry. I made her sit in the auto. N she reached home safely."

S-"Ohk thank God. Thank you Ramona."

      Ramona just smiled and left from there. Shivaay started thinking about Annika.

S-"What's wrong with her? She was ok in the morning so what happened after that. Kaise pata lagau??....... Sahil"

      He said and took his phone to call Sahil. He dialled his number but next second cuts it. He remembered what she said yesterday.

S-"No..... Sahil ko call nhi kr sakta. But happened to her now? I don't understand this girl n her moods. Thank god she went home safely. I think that's only important thing for me."

      He said and left from there.

On road,

       Annika was walking on the road lifelessly. She was not in her senses and was not looking at the vehicles. She was busy in her own thoughts. She was so lost that she didn't know one truck was behind her n was continuously banging the horn. Still she was not moving from there.

      One lady saw Annika and dragged her with her to the end of the road.

Lady-"Are you ok?"

      That lady patted on Annika's shoulder and Annika came back from her thoughts and looked at that lady.

Annika-"Huh...??"

Lady-"Are you ok beta?"

      That lady asked. Annika nodded her head. That lady gave her water bottle n Annika drank whole bottle in one go.

Lady-"Are you ok?"

A-"Y.....yes thank you"

Lady-"What happened to you? Why you were walking like that on this road. This is very crowded road beta. Take care of yourself"

A-"J..... Ji aunty."

Lady-"Can I drop you to your home?"

A-"N..... No I will manage."

Lady-"Are you sure?"

      Annika nodded.

Lady-"Ok then go slow. Do one thing go by auto. Auto......Auto....."

      That lady called one auto that auto stopped in front of them. That lady made Annika sit in the auto.

Lady-"Go beta. Take care of yourself."

A-"Ji. Thank you aunty."

      That lady smiled and left from there. Annika told her address to that auto driver and told him to start the auto.

      Annika rested her head on headrest and closed her eyes. The all things which happened before sometime started coming in front of her eyes. N she was confused about it again.

Flashback :-

      Shock would be an understatement for Annika when she heard Ramona and that watchman's conversation. She rooted on her place when she heard that Shivaay was the one who saved her that day. N she was so confused about it. Again his words started ringing in her mind which he told last day.

     Annika was confused about all the things now. And her mind stopped working. She left from there without meeting Ramona.

      Annika came to the washroom and washed her face. She stood there for sometime looking at the mirror.

      She was thinking about  Shivaay's words which he said yesterday n his actions which he did in last one month. And those 2 things were completely apposite to each other.

      Then she remembered that Ramona and watchman's conversation.

Annika-"Is that truth?? Or they were just talking about me n Shivaay,which was fake....just talking so that I can hear it n....... No no why will they do that? They don't even know that I was there then how can this be possible??"

       She shrugged that thoughts but still she was confused about all the things which are happening with her.

Annika-"I have to do something. I have to find out the whole truth at any cost. But how??"

      She was thinking about the ways when one idea striked in her mind.

Annika-"Yeah this is the best way. In this way I can find out the truth by myself. N I have to trust that proofs as I will see them by my eyes."

      She wiped her face, composed herself and left from there.

CCTV room,

      Annika peeped inside the room and saw one man was sitting there on one chair looking at all the screens.

      Annika took a deep breath and went inside.

Annika-"He..... Hello sir"

      That man turned and was surprised to see her there.

Man-"Yes??"

Annika-"Sir, actually I want CCTV footage of last week."

Man-"Why??"

Annika-"Woh.....woh I have to write some details na. In last week some players n some other partners came to visit Shivaay sir na. So I just want to make list of them. I need to make reports. N Ramona mam asked me in last week only to create reports. But I was late n now I am not able to remind who came to visit us."

      She said in one go and looked at that man. He looked at her for few seconds and then nodded.

Man-"Ok. I will give you."

Annika-"Really?? Thank you thank you so much."

Man-"But I can give you only corridor n main hall footage. I will not give you anyone's cabin footage n any room's footage."

      Annika started thinking.

Man-"What are you thinking? If someone came to meet Shivaay sir, then definitely he came through main door n then corridor na??"

      Annika heard his words and then nodded happily.

Annika-"Yes sir. Actually I thought I have to see footage of sir's cabin only. But know I can see that through corridor n main hall also."

Man-"Yes. Now do one thing. There is one laptop. I will give you those clips watch them on that laptop."

Annika-"Here only?"

Man-"Yeah. Is there any problem?"

Annika-"No sir. Give me those clips."

      Annika said and that man turned towards computer to select those clips.

Annika(mind)-"I just hope ki kuch mil jaaye. It will clear my many doubts. And I will able to find the whole truth."

      Annika came back from her thoughts when that man gave her pendrive. Annika thanked him n went to that corner and sat there on chair.

      She connect that pendrive and took her mobile in her hand. She then opened the calendar to find out the exact date when she went to that store room.

      After thinking for 2 minutes she was confirmed now about the date. So she played CCTV footage of that day. Luckily there was ear phones on that table. So she puts those in her ears and played that video.

     He heart was beating fast. First she saw how she came to office, then how Shivaay and others..... She fast forwards it.....then she saw she was going to that store room.

Annika-"So I went there after Shivaay asked me to go."

      Annika said in low voice. Then she again fast forwarded that clip. Then she saw Shivaay was going out of the office.

Annika-"So he went out of the office."

      She remembered that Ramona told her Shivaay went from office in afternoon only.

Annika-"Haa so he left. Then why will he come back na."

      Annika thought and again fast forwards that video.

Annika-"Kitna time ho gaya. Still he didn't come n I will also not out of that room."

      Annika was disappointed now. As it was late now n everyone was leaving the office(in that video.) Annika was about to fast forward again when she saw Shivaay entering the office with worried face. Annika's eyes widened in shock when she heard that he was asking about her to everyone.

      Then she saw him running towards that store room.

Annika-"That..... That means he.....he came....."

      Annika was looking at that screen without blinking her eyes. Her heart was beating faster now.

      Her mouth opened in perfect O shape in she covered her mouth to stop her scream as she saw..

      Shivaay was carrying her in his arms. He was looking at her with so much love. And Annika can see pain n fear in his eyes. His face was red and he was crying looking at her face. And at the same time shouting at everyone to call the doctor first. And he went with her in his arms to his cabin.....

Annika-"His.....his cabin????"

      Annika remembered when she opened her eyes that day, she was in Ramona's cabin.

      Tears started falling from her eyes. Everything is clear to her now. Shivaay......her Shivaay came to save her.

Annika-"That..... That means.....he didn't forget his promise....."

      Annika closed her eyes and again his yesterday's words started ringing in her ears.

Annika-"What's all this? Why you are doing this Shivaay?"

      Annika once again looked at that video and again played it. She stopped that video when he was carrying her in his arms. She forwards her hand and caressed his face. Again tears started falling from her eyes.

       She closed her eyes and was cursing helself for shouting at him yesterday. She was looking at his face without blinking her eyes , but then she remembered what he did on that auction n after that.

Annika-"Then what was that? Sach aakhir hai kya?? Yeh yaa woh....."

      She said looking at his face.

Annika-"I have to find out the whole truth now. At any cost."

     She one last time looked at Shivaay's face and then removed that pendrive. She wiped her tears. Gave back that pendrive and left from that room.

Flashback end.....
******************************

      Annika came back from her thoughts when that auto driver told her that they reached.

      Annika came out of the auto and moved towards her house.

Annika's house,

      Annika entered into the house and saw worried Sahil, who was sitting on one sofa. Annika came to him.

A-"What happened Sahil."

      Sahil looked up.

Sahil-"Annika didi, you came early??"

A-"Haa I finished my work early. So came early. What happened to you but? Why you are so worried??"

Sahil-"SSO is not picking up my calls and he didn't even come to meet me from yesterday. And Jay Bhaiya also didn't come today. I called him n he said,'Shivaay sir asked me to not come there. He said my duty is over'"

     Annika remembered what she said to Shivaay yesterday about Sahil.

A(mind)-"I am sure that's why he didn't allow that Jay to come here."

      Annika looked at Sahil and came and sat beside him.

A-"So?? You are worried for that?? Don't think about him. Go n take rest. You need rest Sahil."

Sa-"I want to meet SSO first. Unse baat kiye bina mujhe kuch accha nhi lagega"

A-"Why?? N why you are thinking about him too much? He didn't even contact you when we were in Pune,then? He is just talking to you because we are here n....."

Sa-"You don't know about it but SSO always called me when we were in Pune. In fact everyday he used to call me to ask about you n your health?"

      Annika widened her eyes.

A-"Really? Then why you didn't tell me about it?"

Sa-"Because you were angry on him and....."

A-"Sahil, he did all those things with me n still you were talking with him , why?"

Sa-"Tell me first what he did?"

A-"He married that....."

Sa-"You mean fake married na?"

      Annika looked at him.

Sa-"It was fake marriage didi. Why will SSO marries to any other girl when he loves only you."

A-"Because he loves his family more than me. N can do anything for his family."

Sa-"Yeah he can do anything for his family. But let me tell you are the main person in his family."

A-"What do you mean?"

Sa-"You know what I mean didi."

A-"Please don't take his side. You forgot what he did? He was ready to marry that girl, without even asking me. He wants to prove his family's innocence. For that he forgot about me, he didn't think about my papa. And if you thinks he cares for me, then where was he when I left him. You said he knows that we were in Pune , so why he didn't come to meet us. Why he behaved like that in that auction. Why he forced me to work for him. Why he is torturing me. Why Sahil? Why??"

      Annika asked with tears in her eyes. Sahil looked at her for few seconds.

Sa-"I don't have answers for this."

A-"See. You don't have answers na? Tum kya khud Shivaay ke pass bhi inke answers nhi honge."

Sa-"Ok. You think he don't have answers for thses questions na? Then you have answers for all those things which you did? Or you have explanations for those things which he is doing for you, for me now?"

A-"What questions? What things?"

Sa-"Why you left him without fighting with him for your rights? You were there na, at that wedding venue? Then why you didn't ask him about that wedding n reports that time only?? Why he didn't marry with that girl? Why he fought with those reporters when then asked about your divorce? Why his hand was injured on the next day of this injury on your hand??"

      Sahil asked looking at Annika's hand. He looked at Annika and continued,

Sa-"Why he forced us to live here in this house? This house is so big than our old one n well furnished too. So why he forced us to live here? Wh you came back to Pune after that auction, in company's car?? Why SSO appoints Jay Bhaiya as my bodyguard here?? Why he talked with doctor about my leg's condition? Why he is ready to pay all that operation fees? Why he was trying to make you jealous in that party?? N last one.....you think he hates you, so why he will ask you to come n work in his office. Where he n you can come face to face everyday?? Why??? If we hate someone, then we tried to avoid that person. But why he forced you to work in his office why??"

      Sahil asked directly looking into her eyes. Annika's mind stopped working. And Sahil's all questions were ringing in her ears.

Sa-"When you will able to find answers for all those questions na, that day you will find answers for your questions too, automatically. And I wish that day come soon. As I can't able to see you both in this condition now."

      Sahil said last words with tears in his eyes and went inside.

      Annika was looking at him and his words were ringing in her ears.

A-"Sahil..... What he said is also a truth....."

      Annika sat there on sofa holding her head. She closed her eyes. All the flashes of the things which happened in last month came in front of her eyes. And tears started falling from her eyes.

Next day,

      Annika was walking on the road. Sleep was far away from her eyes last night. She was thinking about Shivaay whole night. After thinking about all the things, she came to one conclusion that if it was Shivaay's mistake then it was her mistake too.

      Both were at fault this time. And even if Annika denied to admit it, but she knew that it was her mistake at first. Whatever he did is the result of her mistake. She left him when he asked her to trust only him n wait for him. But she didn't follow that and left him.

      Now, she was confirmed about the fact that something big happened after she left him and she have to find out what was that.

     She was walking on the road, thinking about all those things. She can't able to decide what she have to do for the truth revelation.

      Annika was lost in her thoughts when she heard a ring of the bell. She looked up and saw she was outside one mandir.

      Annika looked up and decides to go inside as her mind was not at peace. So she thinks that she will sit in that mandir for some time.

      Annika removed her shoes and started climbing the stairs. She was looking at the mandir when she saw that one man was about to fell from the staris. Annika ran to him and held him. She made him stand on his feet. N looked at him. Annika frozed at her place. She was suprised rather shocked.

A-"P..... Papa....."

Precap :- Truth revelation to Annika. Annika came to Oberoi Mansion and meet Pinky n whole Oberoi family.
