Anika's Point of View. 

I stopped writing when my finger became numb. Don't know what's happening to me recent days but I really wanted to write the whole story having my name. Shivaay's Anika. How perfect it is? My god, I thought i never fall in love in this eternity but I was wrong. I actually fell in love. That too, With my Doc. Hell, I am not kidding. Now, this feeling is killing me. I am actually feeling like, I can go to any extent for his love. But I am only allowed to imagine my life with him. Not to live with him in real life. Anyway, I am used to disappointment nowadays. But In future wherever i go, Definitely he plays an important role in my life by owning my happy days. I really became mad, Saying the time, I spend my life in the hospital is the best time of my life. Will it last for a lifetime?

But I know the answer, I know it's difficult my dear. But you have to learn to live without him. It's temporary and your reality is waiting for you somewhere in Delhi. You have to go back to that life, Ani. But You should thank your fate. At least, Once in your life, You come to know how real love feels. Thank you, god, For these beautiful moments. 

"Anyhow, You will remain as my invaluable treasure..." - I said looking at the closed diary where my emotions, my love, Poured as words. I couldn't able to believe myself that i am hugging it as like my teddy bear.

Looking at her Asleep through the CCTV from his laptop, He finally made his way to her ward. It became his habit in the past month. After dozing her off, He comes to her room, talks with her, when he got tired with talking he will sleep by holding her hand and goes away before she wakes up. It had been his routine, But today, He was very much eager to come to his ward because of the diary which he gifted to her. 

He opened the door, And thankfully the door scratching sound didn't disturb her. He moved towards her bed and pulled the stood close to her without making any sound. He knows he dozed her enough to sleep without any break for the next eight hours. But then too, He made sure, He didn't make any sound. For a second, He couldn't take off his eyes from her when he saw her hugging the diary and sleeping. His kissed her forehead, The tears were locked inside his eyes when he kissed her forehead. 

"I know how much you try, You can't stop loving me..."  - He whispered against her ears and slowly took the diary from her hand. She started to tremble in sleep when he snatched the diary from her. Seeing that he gave his right hand which she took them nearer to her chest and intertwined her fingers with them in her sleep. A smile appeared in her face when she intertwined her fingers with his finger.  He couldn't stop himself from gazing at her. But with the help of his left hand, He opened the diary and slightly taken aback when he read ONLY HOPE in the first page. He looked at her words and her continuously. He just couldn't able to believe. Because this anika whom he's observing have everything in her life. 

But why could she name them as the only hope? With a slight confusion, He opened the first page and started to read the story. Tears escaped from his eyes when she wrote the story which he narrated with her name. He narrated the story as Angel. But she gave a name to the Angel, That too her name. He was taken aback, Because as far he knew, She didn't have any spark about her past. But then too, She started to feel for the story and made the character Anika to fell in love with the character shivaay at the third chapter itself. Tears escaped uncontrollably from his eyes. 

"Do you love me, Ani? Is this for real?" - He whispered against her ears. But She didn't reply to any of his questions as he was deep asleep. He took his right hand from her grip and placed the diary as it was. He really felt suffocating to be their hospital. He rushed back to his home. But the door was open. He opened the door and rested him in the couch, He was crying uncontrollably, He had to stop it. But he couldn't. 

"Why are you crying?" - He heard a man's voice. He immediately wiped off his tears and acted normal. Because he knew, If he tells him anything, He will blow it to a bigger issue. So shivaay stayed silent. 

"Nothing... Just had a very bad day in hospital..." - He responded to that man. 

"For that, You're crying... Don't try to fool me? Tell me... What happened?" - That man asked him again in a serious note. Shivaay left with no option but to lie. 

"I met Anika's Dadi in the hospital..." - He started. That man stopped what he was doing and stared at him. 

"What she said?" - He asked shivaay in a cold tone. 

"She said, Before Ten years, Because of an accident, She completely forgets about me..." - Shivaay said without meeting his eyes. Shivaay waited for his reply but he started to laugh hysterically. 

"Why are you laughing?" - Shivaay asked him. 

"After going through everything, You believe in that Oldie's words... All are betrayers..." - He asked him. 

"But she wasn't lying..." - Shivaay said in a calm tone. 

"How do you know? You checked her reports..." - He asked him. He didn't reply anything to him. 

"Don't be an idiot again... Because of her, you have gone through many things in your life... As a childhood friend, I am advising you..." - He said and moved towards his room. 

"Had dinner om?" - he asked him when he was about to close the door. He was his same friend who was once his roommate in an orphanage. When he was doing his first year of MBBS. He saw him again after ten years. From then, He became his close friend. When nobody was there with him, He was there as his support. He told him everything whatever happened in his life. More than him, He hates anika. People say right, Our best friend hates our ex more than us. He proved that. He hates anika more than anyone. And always encourage him, when he felt low thinking about her. He shared with him everything. But He just couldn't share with him about anika. Because he knew om has no control towards his anger. But he felt peace, Talking with him about anika after a long time. He moved towards his room and slept not before taking a shower.

"You're late, Doc..." - Anika said when he came to her half-an-hour late. 

"Doctors do have a personal life, Anika..." - Shivaay said with a smile while taking her daily check-up. He removed the plaster from her right leg. She hissed in pain, But when he caressed her leg, She felt a lesser pain. She wanted to smile but didn't. He wanted to raise his head and see her expression when he did that. But He didn't.

"Done! Your fractures are healing..." - Shivaay said in a cherished tone. But Anika looked aside through the window. Towards the hospital garden. 

"Can you take me over there, Doc?" - Anika asked him without her knowledge. 

"Will go tomorrow night... tomorrow is the full-moon night..." - Shivaay replied to her. She turned towards him with a wide smile. She felt like asking him in her mind, But without even arguing, He said yes to her wish, Which made her too happy. 

"Can i tell you happy news?" - Shivaay asked her. 

"What?" - Anika asked. 

"You're improving... The fractures are healing and your reports were normal, There's no internal bleeding... You know what it's mean?" - He asked her, The smile faded away from her face. 

"Don't say i will get discharged, soon" - Anika thought. 

"You will get discharged soon..." - Shivaay said up to her disappointment. 

"That's great news..." - Both heard Atharv, Anika's fiance voice from the entrance. Anika's heartbeat stopped beating for a while when she saw him handling a bouquet with a smile. He entered the ward. Shivaay was shocked but he didn't show it on his face. 

"Hi..." - He said in a confused tone, Even though he well knew, Who was that. Shivaay kept gazing him and anika. 

"Hi, Doctor... I am her fiance, Atharv Singhania..." - Atharv forwarded his hand with a smile.

"Hi... I am her Doctor, Shivaay Singh Oberoi..." - They both shook their hands, Anika didn't ever want this moment in her life. Then he moved towards anika and gave her flowers. 

"It's your favourite flowers, right, Senorita..." - He said while hugging her and kissing her forehead. Shivaay immediately turned towards the door. He just couldn't able to see that. She didn't respond to his hug but her eyes on shivaay who was facing the door. She just wanted to push atharv aside and go and hug him. But In reality, She just couldn't do any of those. she felt helpless. Shivaay excused himself and moved out of the room. 

"Maa fixed our marriage date in the coming month... If you aren't admitted in the hospital, we would have married by now..." - Atharv said. Her concentration wasn't on him but on shivaay who left the place without even passing a smile which he usually gives.
