Every beautiful thing has an end.... And here we are...in the end...

You all made me feel so much loved and worthy...❤️

*************************

" Tell me...I wanna know who Anshi is...I wanna get Aisha back...I can't live like this anymore... "
He said, his eyes turned glassy.

" Anni....I know....You have been searching for Aisha day and night... "
Shreya said dragging a chair infront of him.
" You know my pain...You know why I did this to Aisha.... You can't lie to me....I am tired of lies..."
He said and she nodded.

She knew that she is going to break her promise to Aisha...
But what she is going to do now is needed...much needed...

I have to do this Aisha...Its for your and Anni's good.... I AM SORRY...
She said to herself.

" Anni....So everything happened after that night..."
She started.

FLASHBACK

She pretended to be fine infront of everyone but at night she cries herself to sleep.
She tried to distract herself from his thoughts, but each and every thing in her life was connected to him and his memories.

She woke up a night feeling sick and stepped out of the bed to drink water.
She felt her head spinning while drinking water. She held her forehead, sweating badly.

" What is happening to me?? "
She asked herself and suddenly something thought hit her.
" No no..No!!! Don't overthink Aisha!!"
She assured herself, but still the doubt haunted her.

The next day she went to a store and picked up a pregnancy test.
She waited for the result and
it was negative....
She checked again inorder to confirm.
And it turned out to be positive.

She came out of the bathroom still shocked and sat on the bed.

Their night together came into her mind....
His promises...
His words...
His lies...

She felt useless...
He used her...

" Those night? Those were for my pleasure babygirl! You were just my stress reliever, thanks a lot for those imense pleasure and moments!"
His words echoed in her mind and all she could imagine was his evil laugh.

She covered her ears trying to stop her mind from reminding him. Now his baby, its gonna remind her of him every second she looks at its face.

She opened her phone and went through the gallery only to see it filled with their photos. She bite her lips trying to control her tears.

She threw the phone away and face plamed herself.
" Stop crying! Stop crying! Stop crying... "
She said to herself, bursting into tears.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

" The exams were over and Aisha left the city to start afresh. She left without informing anyone, and gave me her number. She didn't wanted to abort the baby, she wanted to raise it, she wanted to give her baby everything....She struggled a lot at beginning, juggling between her work and taking care of Anshi... "
Shreya said and he sat there still, looking at Shreya trying to process what she said.

She has went through a lot...
Still she is standing infront of everyone stronger and bolder than ever....

That Aisha who was afraid to step into darkness is now embracing it...

She smiled with tears and cupped his face.
" I have been struggling with this secret and I am happy that I could tell you the truth myself.... "
She said and he couldn't stop the tears.

Tears....
Not the same tears of guilt and sadness....
But happiness...
Pure happiness...

She couldn't stop gushing over his smile, that deadly smile was hiding for a whole damn 7years.

" I can't believe this!!! Anshi is my own! I wanted to keep her so badly!!Oh my god!!! My daughter....Anshi is my daughter!!!"
He exclaimed standing up jumping around and shreya giggled with tears.
They both hugged and she patted his shoulder.

" Do you think Aisha will agree....? "
Shreya asked as he leaves and he turned.

" I have been guilty for each and every second....those poisonous words that I spitted on her that night can never be forgotten by her....But I will try.... I want my daughter and love back...I have hope..."
He said and she nodded.

He got into the car and leaned to the seat, closing his eyes, letting out a breathe of relief.

Anshi's smile and cute words flooded his mind and he smiled thinking of her.
No wonder why he felt so belonged to her...
Their each and every moment was so special to him....

" You indeed made my wish come true....My wish of having a daughter... She is indeed the most beautiful gift I ever had! Ughghgh!!!!! I soooo happy!!!!"
He shouted, not able to control the happiness and beating the steering wheel trying to control his happiness.

He took out a small gift box from the backseat and smiled rubbing it.
" You father is coming.... "
He murmured keeping it inside his winter coat pocket.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

" Mumma where ich Chuperstar???"
Anshi asked sitting on the table in Aisha's cabin after coming back from school.

" He will be at his work bachcha...."
Aisha murmured taking out a bottle of juice from her bag.
" Drink this...Orelse you will be dehydrated...."
She said giving it to Anshi.

" Apple juice!!! I lub it choo much!!!!"
Anshi exclaimed grabbing the bottle.
Aisha smiled seeing her drink the juice.

No wonder why this daughter and father bonded so fast...
Her likes are so similar to his...

Apple juice made by her was his favourite too...
He used to drink it after his concerts and performances. And now his daughter drinks it after her school.
Ice creams where his stress booster and favourite...
Its now Anshi's favourite too.

She used to catch him in the kitchen eating icecream at midnight....
And she catches Anshi eating ice cream too...

" Mumma today I promised chonali that I will tell Chuperstar about her...Warna woh katti hojayegi..."
Anshi said completing the last drop of juice.
" Toh I want to meet Chuperstar.... "
She completed her sentence and Aisha nodded.

She has now thought of it...

And no matter how much she forced herself to stay away from him and keep Anshi away from him, she can't... She simply can't...

And she knew it that one day Anshi is going to get to know about her father and she didn't wanted to be mother who kept a daughter away from her father.

She has to stay away from him, for the sake of her self respect, she can't change back to that Aisha who begged holding his feets...

Everything is temprory...
But self respect is something that would stay with you till your last breathe...
And you can't sacrifice it for sake of someone...

She is leaving everything in the hands of destiny...

Little does she know about what he went through just to keep her safe and sound....

" Baby...I will be back in a minute, stay here and don't go anywhere okay?"
Aisha asked tucking a strand of hair behind Anshi's ears. Anshi nodded and she left after pecking her cheeks.

He quickly parked his car and ran inside the building.

He noticed Dadi standing there and ran to her and hugged her tightly making her surprised, she hugged him back smiling, rubbing his back.

" Dadi!!!!"
He exclaimed with a bright smile cupping her face and kissed her cheeks.
" Dadi I am so happy!!!!!"
He said and she smiled wondering what.
" Kya hua puthar??!!"
She asked and his eyes sparkled.
" I found out the truth!! Now I have to claim those 2 beautiful reasons that keeps me alive!!!"
He said and she looked at him confused.
" I know you are confused, just keep it in mind that Aisha and Anshi is mine now!!!"
He said and she nodded smiling.

He walked away and she stood there still smiling.
" Hayee...Kisiki nazar na lage iss ladke per!!"
She murmured, seeing him walking away.

Anshi was playing inside the room that she suddenly noticed Anni through the window.
" Chuperstar!!!"
She exclaimed and ran out.

" Chuperstar!!!!!"
Anshi screamed and he turned around, his heart beating fast. She ran to him and he picked her up in his arms, hugging her tightly.

He closed his eyes as he held her close to his chest . Tears formed in his eyes.

He was so happy...
A happiness which can never be explained in words....rather should be felt... Felt from deep down your
heart...❤️

The feeling of getting back something you didn't except to be yours but you wanted badly!

He can't say that he was the one who held her first when she was born....
This won't stop him from holding her forever...

He can't say that he held her hands when she took her first steps...
But now he will hold them forever...

Time is here...
To make new memories, new moments, new emotions and above all, love her like no one would ever...

He kissed her forehead, her cheeks and she looked at him surprised by his glassy eyes.
" Kya hua Chuperstar...?"
She asked wiping of his tears.
" Call me Dadda...Let me hear... "
He said trying not to choke on his tears.
" Dadda.... "
She said and tears rolled down his eyes as he smiled brightly.

The word he had craved for from her...

" Dadda don't cry...Did chumone hurt you? Tell me... I will call them and Achk them to tell chory...You know na I am strong!"
She said patting her shoulders, showing of her non-existing biceps.
And he giggled with tears.

" Call me dadda from now on okay?"
He asked and she nodded smiling and they hugged.

" Annu did have you lunch?"
Aisha's friend came to them.
" No....I am not hungry... "
She said pouting and the friend stared at her pretending to be angry.
" You will have to have lunch bachcha...."
She said and Anshi nodded in no, leaning to him.

The friend looked at him and he nodded assuring her.
" Anshi...Bachcha have lunch...Warna you will fall sick and we wont be able to go for shopping... "
He said running his hands through her hair.
" Shopping??!!!"
She asked and he nodded. She smiled brightly showing of her 32 teeths.
Shopping was her favourite hobby and it would be even special if she goes out with her chuperstar.

She came down his arms and waved at him before going with her.

He stood there smiling at her. He couldn't stop gushing over his babygirl.

"She is so beautiful....Just like her mumma...."
He murmured. And looked for his next reason, Aisha.

" Excuse me!"
He called a nurse who was passing by.
" Yes? "
She asked.
" Where can I meet Doctor Aisha?"
He asked and she looked around.
"She must be in the general ward..."
She said and he nodded.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Aisha checked on a few patients.
" Aparna! Woh files kahaan hai? I didn't receive it... "
She said to the nurse while checking on a patient.
" Oh I am really sorry mam... Its in the files room...I forgot about it I will pick it up right now!"
She said and Aisha glared at her, sending chills down the nurse's spine.

Aisha looks real dangerous and hot when she glares at someone when she is angry or disappointed.

Suddenly she burst out giggling making the nurse relieved.

He looked around for her and saw her with the nurse. He stood there still for a second seeing her laugh.

God!!
How can someone be so beautiful while laughing....
His heart murmured.

Anirudh don't listen to him, focus on why you were searching for her!!
His mind said glaring at the heart.

Ughghgh!! Stop it guys!! I will handle it myself!!!
He shouted and the patients near him stared at him, thinking whether this guy went completely insane...

" Koi nhi... I will take the files... I am free right now, I will check the files! I was joking yaar...!"
She said laughing and the nurse smiled.

He quickly followed her into the files room and closed the door behind her making her flinch.
She turned and her eyes widened seeing him.

" WHAT THE HELL!!! Why did you close the door??!!!"
She screamed and he looked at her.

" Wait- are you going to molest...ME?!"
She made a shocked expression covering herself with her arms as if he was going to pounce on her. And he looked at her completely disappointed.

" Get out!! No no...I will go out myself!!"
She said pushing him, trying to open the door.
" Listen to me... "
He said trying to stop her.
" No! no I won't stay with you even for a millisecond!!! Let me out orelse I will scream!!"
She said and he frowned, rolling his eyes while hipping.

" What the hell you won't listen to me?? Open it!!!Ab dikathi hoon!!"
She said after knowing that he won't open and he grabbed her hand making her flinch.
" Leave me! Leave me!! Leave me!!"
She screamed.
" shshsh!!!"
He kept his palm on her lips.

" If you utter a single word more...I will show you what I am going to do and you will regret it Aisha Abaad!!"
He said in a single breathe and she went silent like a innocent baby.

He moved back and she stood there silent.
" Aishi... "
He started and her heart skipped a beat.

That name...
She craved for it so much...
It was sweeter than nectar...
Deeper than any ocean...
Full of love...
Nothing has changed about it...

" I don't wanna drag this...I want you back...I am sorry...I am really sorry...I am ready to apologize infinite times...
I am not asking you to forgive me right now...Just give me a chance... "
He said and she stood there trying to make up words to say back to him.

" How am I supposed to believe you?"
She asked and he looked at her.
" You can't stop loving me... Then why are you running away from me? I wanted you to be happy and safe!! You would never have been happy if you married me back then!!!"
He said and she looked into his eyes.

" I was afraid I would lose you... Lose your love...I was threatened... Threatened to kill you... I ignored it thinking you are safe with me... But do you remember once when you were attacked in the college and it was my guards who saved you...
You wwould have lost yourself if you married me... Those paparazzi and media won't even allow us to live peacefully... And I didn't have a choice rather than chosing this idea of betraying you... I feel like an idiot right now for doing that!!!"
He said and it was clear by his expression and words that he is guilty for himself.

" No...I won't believe you... "
She said and he sighed.

Its hard...
Harder than he thought...
Convincing her is the hardest thing ever...
One she makes up her mind, no one can stop her...
And he knows that very well.

" Just keep it in your mind that I am guilty... I am sorry... And I am waiting.... I can't force you... I know what I did is wrong and you have the whole right to say no to me... But just keep it in mind that I am sorry and I was forced... "
He said already tired of convincing her.

She is too stubborn...
Only she can change her mind...
And trying to convince her will only increase her stubborness...

He looked down biting his lips as he does when he is tired and guilty of something.
He walked past her to open the door and suddenly his stopped.

He looked down at his hand and she was holding it, looking at him.
He looked up at her and she smiled with tears.

FLASHBACK

She was checking the patients and suddenly her phone rang.
" Shreya?"
She murmured looking at her phone.

" Oi ladki!"
Shreya spoke from the other side.
" Shreya!!! Yaar it has been so long since we talked!! How are you??!!"
Aisha asked with a bright smile.

" Fine and baaki baatien baadh mai... I wanna say something very very important to you! Listen carefully okay? "
She asked and Aisha wondered what it was.
" Haan bol... "
She said and shreya took a deep breathe.
" Anni is not a betrayer...He is not guilty..."
Shreya said and her adrenalin rushed.
" What do you mean?"
She asked.

" Anni did this because he was forced to... He was forced by his agency back then to break up with you!"
Shreya said and her heart skipped a beat.

" He said no to them so many times and loved you despite the threat to his career. But one day everything crossed its path. The agency threatened him with those photos of you both that someone took secretly.
They had your pictures of hugging, walking together and many more... They threatened him to release those photos on social media. And he even got death threats on you... He couldn't sleep for whole a damn week until he decided to walk away from your life to keep you safe and sound!"
Shreya said and her eyes turned glassy.

" If you still don't believe me then I have sent you the recordings of his call telling me about the plan and all... I have managed to keep it safe for this day... "
She said.
" Why....Why did you lie to me? Why didn't you tell me about this before...?"
Aisha asked with glassy eyes.

" I am sorry... I was asked to keep this secret...I was afraid for your life...now go and get Anirudh back... He wants you back too... "
Shreya said and Aisha nodded smiling.

She disconnected the call and heard the call recordings.

She felt bad...
He went through so much and still stayed calm...
She couldn't even imagine the pain he went through while confronting her...

Get him back before you lose him Aisha...!!!
Her inner voice echoed.

FLASHBACK ENDS

" Oi ladke I was joking .... Ab gale toh lag ja... "
She said giggling with tears and before she could utter another word he pulled her into a tight embrace.

He wrapped her tight in his arms as he digged his face in her neck. She cupped his face smiling as tears rolled down uncontrollably.

" I missed you..."
He said trying not to choke on his tears. And she hugged him ruffling his hair.
" I missed you too my sky... "
She said and kept her forehead on his smiling.

" Ab chalo let's go to our princess.... "
She said already knowing that he knows the truth.

Five years later...

" I won't forgive you for this Anirudh Arora!!!!!!"
She screamed phanting.
" I am here....Take a deep breathe... "
He said with beads of sweat om his forehead holding her palm tightly.

" aaaaahhhhh!!!!! I can't!!!"
She screamed in pain. And he rubbed her forehead softly as she looked at him exhausted and full of sweat.

" Aishi....We can do it...just take a deep breathe and push... "
He said and she nodded inhaling and exhaling.

" aaaaahhh!!!!!"
She screamed pressing his hands.
" One more time baby... And we are done..."
He said and she nodded breathing heavily.

" Ughghgh!!!!!!!!"
She screamed and the cry of a baby filled the room as she fell back to the bed and the doctor and the nurses cheered.

" Congratulations Aisha Anirudh Arora..."
He whispered smiling with slight tears, wiping of her tears and sweat with a towel and she looked at him breathing heavily ready to pass out.

" Its a boy... "
The doctor said as he handed over the baby to the nurse to clean.

He kissed her forehead and she held his hand closing her eyes.
" Its a prince... "
He whispered before she passed out due to the pain.

Navya and Anshi, waited outside.
" Mumma will be fine na? "
She asked and Navya nodded pulling Anshi closer to her.
" Mumma will be fine....Dadda haina... He will not let anything happen to her..."
Navya assured her as they waited for the good news.

" Mam its a boy.... Both mother and baby is healthy and is waiting for you inside the room... "
The nurse said and Anshi jumped in joy.

" Yahoo!!! Baby brother!!!!"
She screamed and hugged Navya.

They both went inside the room.
" Dadda!!!"
Anshi ran to Anni who was holding the baby. And she looked at the baby.

" Awww he is chooo cute!!! My baby!!"
Anshi said and Anirudh chuckled.
She played with the baby's fingers and
the father daughter hugged each other.
" Junior Arora!!"
Navya exclaimed and they burst out laughing.

The baby had already opened its eyes and was smiling at everyone.

" Mumma se gale nhi lagegi? "
Aisha asked spreading her arms, pouting. And Anshi hugged her tightly while Anirudh and Navya adored them.

" What will we call him? "
Anshi asked playing with him.

" Ansh! Ansh Arora!!!"
Navya exclaimed and everyone was happy with this name.

" A perfect family!! Let me take a photo!!"
Navya said taking out her phone and they posed for a photo along with the new member.

The end....
