✥29✥
Life is the only game where you couldn't predict what will happen in the next moment. Shivaay made up his mind to die after adding sleeping pills in Anika's food. His plan was well planned, He messaged Atharv that he left anika forever and made his way towards Dehradun. He was never intended to open up everything to her, And if he didn't, she will continue searching him and also find him. But that moment, He won't be alive. He wrote everything in a letter and kept it the table with fresh red flowers.
He dreamed of his new life with her but fate left him with no options. He has to die otherwise he will kill anika with his own hands like before. He rode his bike non-stop till the humidity in the air decreases to it's the lowest level. He was wearing no jacket and the cold breeze hit his face stronger but he didn't stop. He wanted Anika to live more he wanted to. The bike stopped due to shortage of petrol in the top of the hill. He threw his bike aside and started to move faster. There were only rages in his face. He wasn't angry with anyone but fate. It gave his love back to him but it was in the hurry to snatch it back from him.
He argued with his heart, Why he hated her that much, Just because she stated to him that he tried to rape her. He imagined that moment in front of his eyes, In no time, He was standing in the top of the cliff and there was no hope of turning back. He closed his eyes tightly and tried to jump but his legs weren't moving. It was anika's image in front of his closed eyes. The image of her when she gave the statement against him, Red puffy eyes and a blank expression.
"Please daadu... I want him to live in behalf of me, His every wish should come true, That's my only last wish... Daddu..." - Her image in the suicide tape again stricked his eyes which made him so weak and invoked a new kind of fear in his heart. His legs started to shiver when he opened his eyes. He started to get scared of death. The person who wanted to live will have a fear of death.
"Shivaay... Stop" - He heard a strong voice from his back, Which jerked him and he lost his balance. Over the next moment, He slipped from the cliff, His body was skating without his control. He tried to stop himself but he couldn't.
"Help me..." - He yelled at his high pitch. Over then his body got stuck in-between two trees which resisted him from reaching the ground which was 3000 feet below him. He was saved. He was saved by nature, He was saved by fate. He smiled, Even though his shirt was ripped off, Even though he blended to the hell. Even though he started to lose his conscious. The last this he saw was her people who arrived to save him and when he closed his eyes, It was her smiley face. When he opened his eyes for the second time, He saw ventilators next to him and the image before him wasn't clear. Over the third time, He saw his best friend Rudy, next to him, Patting his cheeks.
"Shivaay, Are you there?" - He asked in a worried tone. It was not the same person, He has grown his beard and looked elder than he first met him. But shivaay couldn't speak to ask him these questions. But he responded while nodding yes.
It was heartbreaking for him when he learned he was in the coma for the past year and he was shifted to Mumbai. The first thing he does after coming out from the coma was contacting Anika. But it said her phone number didn't exist. Then he tried calling Atharv, Who attended his call after many attempts. Atharv was shocked to learn about his condition and Shivaay told him everything without hiding anything. And he was heartbroken to hear that anika left everyone without any contact.
After a few days, Atharv arrived to support shivaay, But he was surprised to learn that he was taking treatment for his disorder. Shivaay knew if he started to search for her, He will find her but before that, he had to take treatments, That's necessary. During that phase, He understood, There's a solution for every big problem and our only job was not to give up at any point in time. On the other hand, Atharv found a good reason to search for his best friend, He was very happy for his friend that her hopes on life didn't die after all. Life gives to obstacles but eventually, it paves the way for success.
After 1 year 8 months, Shivaay was the new person. He was all the way ready to start his new life but before that, he has to search for Anika whom he had no idea where she's. But he wasn't ready to loose his hope, That too on Anika. He stepped into Dehradun after nearly two years.
The hospital staffs, Doctors were so delighted to see him over there. He was warmly welcomed by his family. The reason why he calls Dehradun as his home even though he was an orphan. His cabin still has his name on it. Tears welled up in his eyes when he saw that.
"I can't believe this... Thank you..." - Shivaay said to the nurses who had tears in their eyes when they saw him with them after a long time.
"Doctor... Here's some valuable message from your patients who missed you..." - One of his nurses gave him a huge box. He was too delighted to see that, while reading that valuable messages, He realized his achievement as a good human in this world. But his world stopped spinning for a while when his hand handed an envelope having Anika's name on the top. His hands started to shiver.
"It's from a lady... I asked her to write her address, But she said you will find her if you read her message..." - The nurse said when she recalled that day Because she was the only person who seems like close to the doctor.
"What else she said..." - He words died inside his lips when he saw the sonographic image of a 9 weeks old fetus, His heartbeat stopped beating for a while. Tears crossed his eyes uncontrollably. He had nothing to say or feel when he read the message from her. It was his anika who was pregnant with his child.
"She said she was leaving the country so I asked her to write the message for you..." - The nurse answered when she witnessed shivaay in the lost state. Shivaay was confused about whether to be happy that he finally not an orphan anymore and he has a family of his own, Maybe a daughter or a son. Or to be sad that he left her in the situation when she needs him the most. The tears crossed his eyes. But he conveyed the message to Rudy and Atharv who was equally shocked like him.
From that moment, They started to search for her in every place where she has a connection with. They searched for her in Canada, States, London where she worked and studied. But they couldn't find her. Shivaay lost him every hope. In that state, He got a call from his friend, The real Omkara Singh. Not his part of his imagination who invited him for his wedding. Even though his mind didn't want to go, Some force made him say yes. He traveled to Sydney, Australia. A day before Christmas. Omkara was waiting for him in the Airport with a wide smile in his face.
"11 years..." - Om exclaimed and gave him a tight hug. But om didn't fail to notice the lowness in his face. Om blabbered everything to him whatever happened in his life in these past 10 years, But he stayed silent.
"What happened to you?" - Om finally asked him when they reached home and the dullness in his face clearly said that he just wanted her nothing else in his life. He decided to open up. And told him that how he met the angel of his life when he was doing his 12th and how fate separates them apart. Then about his disorder. Tears crossed his eyes when shivaay told him about his unborn child who should have born till now.
"Shivaay, We will find her... This time, Your brother is with you, I promise you, From tomorrow it's our only job..." - Om said while wiping off his tears.
"Are you kidding me? You're having your wedding in the next week..."- Shivaay denied his help.
"You're the one who is getting married first after finding her. I will tell you this to Gauri in today's party. She will understand my situation..." - He said.
"Are you joking, Right now? Who postponed the marriage like this?" - Shivaay asked out of fury.
"I am doing this for my brother, Even though we are not related genetically, You're my brother and I am your brother... You will marry if I am in that situation..." - Om asked him. Shivaay stayed silent.
"BTW... What's her name?" - Om asked Before Shivaay could answer, His mom called him downstairs and they moved downstairs. And shivaay stopped talking about her even though om insisted him.
Christmas party officially got started and the guests started to arrive. Everything was looking so professional, except for some minion like cupcakes. Shivaay confusingly asked om about the cupcakes, He said it specially made for his special two-year-old guest who would be arriving at any moment. Even shivaay was delighted to see his two-year-old special guest.
Gauri arrived first and gave om a warm hug as soon as she saw om. Om took her to shivaay to introduce him. Before om could introduce her. Gauri asked him.
"Have we met before?" - Gauri asked him.
"No... I guess..." - Shivaay replied awkwardly to her.
"What happened, Gauri?" - Om asked her while wrapping his arms around her.
"No... I think I have seen him somewhere... Don't know exactly where i met him..." - Gauri said.
"Where's Jia? Isn't she coming? I ordered her favorite minion cupcakes..." - Om asked Gauri.
"Jia is arriving with mom, But Jia's mom is busy and she has no mood to come to the party, You know she yelled at me for no reason in the morning..." - Gauri said, When Gauri took the name Jia, Shivaay's heart unknowingly started to beat fast.
"Here the princess arrived..." - Om said when he saw Jia arriving with gauri's mom in her baby pink knee-length frock. He hair was tied to a high bun and her cheeks were too pink contrast to blue eyes. Gauri's mom was holding in her arms. She was right beside Shivaay. Shivaay was lost in his thoughts.
"Wow... Cutie muchkin... Looking exactly like a princess..." - Om adored and widened his arms for her. Jia willingly came to om's arms. Shivaay eyes match with Jia who was in om's arms. He could hear his heartbeat when he saw her for the first time even he had no idea about her. But Jia didn't fail to recognize him. She smiled at him widely for seeing him the first time as a person. Till then, She saw her father's photo in her mom's phone.
"Dada..." - She told, widened her little arms, and moved towards shivaay from Om's arms. Everyone present was shocked. Gauri recalled where she saw him, In Anika's phone as a two-dimensional image. Shivaay's eyes widened in shock when Jia called him dada, He was just breathing nothing else.
"Dada..." - Jia again called her in a little angry tone when shivaay stayed like a statue and Jia widened her arms for him. Without even his knowledge, He took her in his arms and Jia hugged him tightly and chuckled when he hugged her back tightly.
"What's your name?" - Gauri who was the first to come out of the shock asked him.
"vaay..." - Jia replied to her instead. Tears crossed from shivaay's eyes when he heard his name from his daughter for the first time.
"Is her name anika?" - Om finally asked, But shivaay lost his balance and reached the ground while tightly hugging his daughter in his arms. He imagined many times holding his daughter/son tightly to his heart, But when it was happening for real, He just couldn't control his emotions. Tears crossed from his eyes. Gauri's mom started to cry when he saw him crying holding his daughter.
The sobs were silent, The hug was tight and he broke the hug many times in between just to see her face whether it was a part of imagination or reality but when Jia cupped his face, He got the meaning of the life and the ultimate truth was he was not alone in this earth. He has a family, An angel-like wife, and a god-like daughter. And he didn't want anything in his life other than these two.
Seeing him, Gauri tried calling anika, But she wasn't responding any of his calls. Without having any patience, She called her office, Who told her she just left the office. Shivaay composed himself and stood up. Jia was in his arms wrapping her little arms around shivaay's neck.
"She just now left the office..." - Gauri said it to om while wiping off her tears, She was smiling, She was too happy that her friend's hope didn't go meaningless.
"She might be in her way back home..." - Om said.
"Gippusin jisio..." - Jia told in gibberish while pointing her fingers towards the gifts. Shivaay and others smiled to hear this.
"So she went buy gifts for Christmas..." - Gauri who understood her language asked her.
"Yea..." - Jia said while nodding yes to her seriously. Everybody smiled including shivaay who held her tightly.
"What gifts?" - Gauri asked her in a childish tone.
"Bibbi..." - Jia said with a wide smile in her face.
"I will bring more babies... Come to maasi..." - Gauri widened her arms to check whether Jia coming to her or not.
"No.No.No..." - Jia said and hugged shivaay tightly who chuckled seeing at her. He thought it will take time to mend with his kid but the exact opposite was happening. And it was all because of anika. Om and others left the party and went to the shopping center with shivaay and Jia.
Throughout the shopping, Shivaay was holding Jia, and he bought her whatever she asked for.
"22 Babies and thirty slimes..." - Gauri exclaimed to Jia at the billing counter. Jia chucked when she saw her widely opened mouth.
"Someone should learn from you, How to take advantage of the situation?" - Gauri said to Jia who covered her face and smiled even though she didn't get the meaning. Shivaay kissed her forehead.
"My baby deserves everything in this world..." - Shivaay said and hugged her tightly. While packing the gifts, He also asked something else from his pocket. And he wrote 'My Angel' in it. They arrived home and found it was locked. They confirmed, Anika wasn't there inside. Gauri's mom opened the door and arranged everything within time. Shivaay kept his gift under the Christmas tree.
The tension in the cloud raised when they heard anika's car sound from the parking lot and she was arriving at her apartment with a hand full of gifts. Everybody hid including shivaay and Jia. "Shhhh" - Gauri exclaimed to Jia and asked her to be silent.
"Shhh" - Jia replied to her anemically. Gauri and Jia exchanged the Hifi's.
Anika opened the door out of confusion and moved inside, When shivaay saw her for the first time after a long time, He lost his control over his tears. Tears crossed his eyes without even his control. When her legs gave up looking at the ring he brought for him, He emerged out.
"Will you marry me, again? My angel..." - He asked. She didn't turn back but listened to him. Her eyes automatically closed when she listened to his shoe steps close to her. He came in front of her and took the ring from her hand, She was still crying while bowing her head.
"Sorry..." - He said and slipped the ring in her tattooed ring finger. She thudded her head in his chest and cried badly. There were no words communicated but they both cried their heart out. Shivaay finally got his soul back.
"Momma..." - Jia ran towards them when she heard their sobs. Gauri, Om, and Gauri's mom emerged out. Anika broke the hug in an instant and wiped her eyes off. There were no words but she smiled when she looked at Jia. Jia hugged her in an instant and she took her in his arms.
"I got your message..." - He said in a low tone more like a whisper. Their eyes met again. She cupped his face while holding Jia in one hand just to make sure it wasn't her dream. He took it in his palms and kissed it.
"You're back to me... That's enough..." - She whispered where most of her words died inside her mouth. He hugged her again and Jia hugged both of them and patted their back at the same time.
"I am sorry, I wasn't intended to do it... It happened..." - He tried to make a sentence but he couldn't.
"Promise me, You never leave us again..." - She asked. He broke the hug and kissed both of their foreheads.
"I promise to surrender the rest of my life to you both..." - He whispered and hugged all the two again. Finally, a smile of completeness appeared in their face and all is good which ends well.
