After 2 years.

"I think I can't make it today... Jia is not well..." - Anika informed her friend over the phone. She couldn't take any risks when it comes to her daughter. 

"Oh my god, What happened to her?" - Her friend terrified over the phone when she heard anika's voice in a very low tone. She was not only her colleague but also her friend from college they both were the same batch but anika kept the distance with everyone over that time. So they just remain as a friend, then. But when Anika came back to Australia before 2 years, They met again, But that time, She met a different anika who was confident and also she felt her like a new person. They became thick buddies in a few days and also anika shared with her about the things which happened in her life.

She couldn't hold up her tears and wondered to see her confidence and her bold nature. Even though she was emotionally weak with the events that happened, she didn't let that touch her personality and attitude. She started to accept reality and ready to go with it. When Gauri learned about her pregnancy, Without even thinking, she asked her to move in with her mom as she couldn't tackle the situation alone. Anika denied first But moved into their house. After Jia was born they started a wedding planning business as a fifty-fifty percent partnership. Anika along with her one-year moved into an apartment as soon as she became stable. 

"Allergy Again played with the puppies... Don't know, What to do with this girl, Gauri?" - Anika said in disbelief tone.  

"Girl? You're sounding like a mother of 16 years old... She's just two... Babies like puppies... It's common, Don't know what will you when she will be actually 16..." - Gauri said while chuckling. 

"I will definitely become a freaking-out mother over that time... I can see the future..." - Anika said to Gauri while looking at her two-year-old daughter sleeping in the couch.

"I have messaged mom... She might be on her way..." - Gauri informed Anika.

"Why? Gauri... Why are you troubling her? Am I not enough for her?" - Anika sounded annoyed. 

"You are a good mom... But babies need Nani's and Maasi's extra pamper sometime... So, You sport spoiler, stop becoming a barrier between us..." - Gauri said in a warning tone. 

"And..."- She stopped. 

"And what!" - Anika asked her. 

"I know you don't like to hear about, But thanks for convincing mom..." - Gauri started Anika stopped her. 

"Don't ever say, I am annoying... You are annoying... And please don't annoy you husband like this after marriage..." - Anika chuckled and rested the call when she heard the calling bell. Anika slightly became calm to see Gauri's mom at the doorstep. 

"Annniiii" - Hearing her voice, Jia woke up from the sleep and moved towards gauri's mom. She took her in her arms as soon as she saw her. 

"Sometimes I get confused whether she's calling me or calling you..." - Anika said with a smile. But Gauri's mom looked worried. Anika caught the reason and made her sit in the couch. She sat while having Jia in her lap. Jia looked tired but she lied in gauri's mom's shoulder but there was no sort of smile in her face. 

"Ma... Everything will go well, Mom... Mr. Singh loves Gauri and Gauri loves Mr. Singh... Doesn't it enough? Why are you looking so worried?" - Anika asked her. 

"But His parents adopted him when he was younger, If Gauri got married to him, will they accept her wholeheartedly..." - Her mom poured out her concern to Anika. 

"Shall I ask you one question in return?" - Anika asked her, She nodded. 

"If gauri's daughter or son born in the future will you stop loving Jia?" - Anika asked her, Gauri's mom was stunned for a while because of her question. Before Gauri's mom could answer, Jia answered.

"NO..." - Jia responded in an instant. Anika chuckled. 

"Of course Not... How dare you ask me this question?" - Gauri's mom asked her in-return. 

"That's it... I came to your house just before 2 years... But Now, We four become inseparable, right... That's it... Even though they adopted Mr. Singh, For them, He's their world... That's the beauty of Adoption... It's pure than anything..." - Anika said, Gauri's mom got convinced and smiled at her. 

"Tell me one thing, Why are you calling Omkara with his surname?" - Gauri's mom asked her. 

"Because That's his surname..." - Anika said with a smile. She didn't want to say her, that she's hell terrified with his name. As that name changed her whole world if that name didn't exist, Shivaay might be there with her this time. She didn't want to say anything when her shoulder became weak thinking about the incident. But when her eyelids reached her daughter's blue eyelids, She showed a fit of fake anger. 

"will you ever play with puppies again?" - Anika asked in anger tone. 

"Shollyy..." - She said while pitching her ears and nodding no. That spark enough for Anika to forget any miseries in her life. Anika wasn't in touch with anyone of her family members including Atharv, Infact she stopped talking with him after that incident. She wasn't in touch with him not because he wanted to marry her but because he underestimated her. Shivaay always keen in building her courage. He knew She will break after reading that letter but shivaay wrote, He said She has to be her own medicine for her heartbreak and he also built her confidence and didn't leave her to fall down even in his absence.

"It's okay..." - Anika said and take her in her arms. 

"Let's go to the hospital..."- Anika added but Jia started to cry when she heard the word, Hospital. 

"Baby, Don't forget, You are the daughter of a famous surgeon... Come on, Baby... I will save you from the needles..." - Anika tried to convince. 

"Lie..." - She spelled and started to cry. But with the help of Gauri's mom, She took her to the pediatrician, Anika came to know that her allergy was genetical through doctors. Over then, She recalled how shivaay got scared of dogs. 

"Yes, Her father is allergic to Dogs..." - Anika said with a smile to the doctor who was an Indian. 

"Urgeonn..." - Jia said when she recognized when her mom talking about her father. 

"Surgeon??" - The doctor asked her while raising her eyebrows. 

"Yes, Surgeon... Dr. Shivaay Singh Oberoi..." - She said to the doctor and left the ward having Jia in her arms. Gauri's mom inquired, Anika said they gave some medicines and they didn't inject her as she cried a lot. Jia smiled at her widely when her mom said about the injection.

"Drama Queen... Come to mumma!" - Anika widened her arms. 

"No..." - She said in an instant and hugged Gauri's mom tightly. 

They planned to go home but Jia threw a tantrum that she wanted to go to the jump in the kid-zone. Without any options left, Anika drove towards the mall, But After going to that mall, They realized Om and Gauri go to the same mall for shopping, They spotted Anika and her mom on the way towards the kid-zone. Anika didn't interact much with om but she guessed he would be a perfect match for her soul-sister, Gauri for the first time when she saw him before a year. 

"Hey, Anika..." - Om greeted her with a smile. And also interacted with Jia so closely and also played with her in the kid-zone almost all the games. Jia had a good time with Omkara. Gauri postponed Marriage shopping when Jia asked them to accompany her to the kid-zone. Before leaving, Om invited her to the Christmas party, But Before Anika could say anything, Jia just says 'yes' to him and gave knuckles to him.  

Over then, A woman with goggles, Whitish tone, and Thick accent crossed her and gave presents to all the kids in the kid-zone. Anika became so conscious when she held her shoulder and gave a gift to Jia. 

"This is your present... Lil lady..."- She said with a thick Australian Accent. 

"And you, Strong lady, This Christmas will present you with many miracles... Stay calm for that..." - She said while caressing Anika's face and left the place. Everyone wondered but Anika became so conscious. She didn't feel her like a normal person. But something more. 

Her words banged her head like anything for the next two days. She couldn't able to concentrate on anything, Wherever she goes, That lady comes in front of her eyes and those words. Christmas evening came but Anika stayed in the office till the late night and completely forgot about the Christmas party. Her phone filled with missed calls, When she reverted it back, She realized, It was already Christmas and Jia must have been in the home after attending the party in om's house. She got the message from Gauri's mom. 

She reached her home with many gifts for Jia. But the door was closed and the light was switched off. When she switched on the lights, She was surprised to see gifts laying nearer to the Christmas tree. None of them were brought by her. Her legs became weak, She never believed in Santa, But how come the gifts reached her house when she didn't buy any of these. 

She moved towards the gifts And found the gifts were not only for Jia but for anika too. It differentiated as 'Mama' and 'Baby'. She kneeled and checked all those gifts. Everything was packed in green but one small present packed in Red and kept under the tree. She took the present.

Her hands started to shiver When she read the note which was written as "To My Angel". In this world, shivaay only refers her as an angel. Tears welled up in her eyes but She opened the gift, It was a jewelry box. When she opened, Her world stopped revolving. Her knees loosed the balance and she fell back in the floor in an instant. She found the same ring which she tattooed in her left ring finger, The same ring. Her eyes didn't want to believe the scene happening before her. 

"Will you marry me, Again?... My Angel..." - She heard a familiar voice. Her heart stopped beating. The tears which were welled up in her eyes escaped. Her hand automatically came to her heart. There was only one wish in her mind, Please god, It shouldn't end up like a dream.
