Finally he saw her after 2 long years,Yes his annika was standing in front of him talking to someone claded in a simple long black flowy gown,his view getting hazy as he felt like tearing up,he had a good look of her from top to bottom and realized that she had lost a lot of weight and the glow which was on her face was gone, no one can understand it but he was her husband and he know her much better than anyone else. There was no spark in her eyes, her smile seemed fake as it didn't reached her eyes but the innocence in her face was as same as it was. He smiled as he saw her narrowing her brows with a frown but suddenly she was shaking with mirth at the words of the old man.

Tum mere ho iss pal mere ho
Kal shayad yeh aalam na rahe
Kuch aisa ho tum tum na raho
Kuch aisa ho hum, hum na rahein...
Yeh raaste alag ho jaaye
Chalte chalte hum kho jaayein...

Still laughing her eyes met his and she stilled,he can see her eyes widening in shock."darling come I wanted you to meet someone" the man said while looking at shivaay, she just noded."Shivaay meet my daughter and the curtesy of this night goes to her and Anni this is Shivaay Singh Oberoi,the CEO of Oberoi Industries, well Shivaay was really impressed by the decorations so I thought to let him meet you" the old man said with a smile while little did he know that they know each other more then them selves so this small introduction doesn't make any difference. All this while they had their eyes locked. Annika felt a wave of millions of emotions washed over her as the beautiful moments they spend with each other flashed in front of her eyes and her eyes filled with unshed tears but she just bite her lower lips hard to stop the wimpher to escape her mouth as the events of that day struck her hard,she just closed her eyes. The older wounds were opening one after the other like a rapid fire. Anger, betrayal, pain was all he could see in her cocoa brown orbs as she opened her eyes. But there was something else also in her orbs ,but he just let it go.

Main phir bhi tumko chahunga...[4x]
Iss chahat mein marr jaaunga
Main phir bhi tumko chahunga

"Hello Mr.Oberoi" she wishpered as the lump in her throat made her choke and smiled fakely at him to show Mr.Ahuja as she doesn't want him to know about her past. "you two continue I'll excuse myself" and with that the man left from there leaving these two lost soul alone."Well I'm glad that you loved tonight's party inspite of that it was managed by a girl who doesn't have name,blood and Lineage" She spitted out coldly after a few second but she felt a sharp pain shoot up in her body seeing him totally broken while shivaay felt as if he was stabbed hard on his already broken heart,he closed his eyes for a breif period to lesson the pain that the words caused.

Meri jaan mein har khamoshi le
Tere pyaar ke naghme gaaunga
mmm...

Main phir bhi tumko chahunga
Main phir bhi tumko chahunga
Iss chahat mein marr jaaunga
Main phir bhi tumko chahunga

"Annika"he whispered and moved forward to grab her hand but she in turn took a step back making him stop in his track"Don't dare to come forward Mr.Oberoi stay where you are as you have stayed the day I was going" she said once again. shivaay know he deserved this!Yes he was at fault for all this and annika's behaviour towards him was totally right but she must understand that he was helpless at that moment but now he know that it was wrong and that he loved her. Yes he loved her!

Aise zaroori ho mujhko tum
Jaise hawayein saanson ko
Aise talashun main tumko
Jaise ki per zameeno ko

Livng without her for more than 2 years had made him realize that she was his only reason to live or maybe his heart beat? people say a man is the most happiest person on this earth and also the most sad person ever and he thing the latter part suits him well."Just listen to me once"he whispered pleaded

"Now there is nothing in listening or saying Mr.Oberoi We are over"she said and put her palm in front of him to stop him to say further. he just felt suffocated at this.How can she leave him?She love him right than why she is doing this to me why? "How can you just say that Annika?You are my wife I real..."his words died out in his mouth as she started laughing "Wife? now where does it came from Mr.Oberoi?I remember you had disowned me from that title long before.Don't you?"she said while he loooked at her with blood shot eyes as now it was getting difficult for him to control his emotions.

Hansna ya rona ho mujhe
Paagal sa dhoondu main tumhe
Kal mujhse mohabbat ho na ho
Kal mujhko ijazat ho na ho

Toote dil ke tukde lekar
Tere darr pe hi reh jaaunga
mmm...

He don't know what to say?Weather to laugh or cry he don't know. After she left He looked for her everywhere every damn place!Investigators were still looking for her and he never loosed hope as he know that One day he will be able to find her to confess his love to her,to take care of her.But now when she is infront of him and saying that they are done,he can't just let it be.losing her once again won't go well with him.no this seperation will be the end of him.

She was shaking with nervousness as she was not able to get a grip on herself as seeing him like this,his orbs which is one of the most beautiful eyes she had seen seemed dull with black bags under them,it was haunting her she thought.His beard a little disheleved as well as his hair a little messy ,He looked different like a deafeated man who had lost his evrything,well she doesn't know that he had lost his everything since the day she left him.The unshed tears now was going to make their way to her cheeks as she was not able to act like this anymore,she just can't aford it to happen.

"Hey Gorgeous" suddenly A man in his early thirties came from behind and whispered in her ears making her stunned but the next moment she relaxed and thank god for sending him at this very moment, she just composed her self and smiled at him as a sign of gratitude while he just blinked in response"What are you doing here Anni? the dance floor is already crowded and you are still here beside I think you seemed to forgot promised that you'll dance with me so let's go"the person said and started to drag her from there when he saw shivaay who was holding his glass as if it will broke down Any moment."Hey Bro I'm Sameer ,well can you please excuse this beautiful lady for now"he said while forwarding his hand for a shake and ended it with a Wink.Shivaay just didn't said much and shake hand with him,smiling fakely"Yeah no Problem! Carry on"he said while looking straight in annika's eyes making her look everywhere except him.

Main phir bhi tumko chahunga

Main phir bhi tumko chahunga

Iss chahat mein marr jaaunga

Main phir bhi tumko chahunga

Sameer just went away from there with annika while shivaay loooked at their retreatinf figure with a broken look.,ordered for a glass of wishkey as he sat there looking at them dancing with eyes full of rage.Why are you angry shivaay?Wasn't it you who just let her go away from you?Wasn't it you who choosed your family against her?Who made her heart break?So now when she is with someone else it is all because of you!She needs to be happy shivaay.and you must be happy that she moved on in her life not like you who is still regretting his decisions.

"Thank you Sameer I thought that I wouldn't be able to act anymore I was loosing my grip but you came and helped me."she said with tear filled eyes,he just smiled"No need to thanks me gorgeous I know what you were feeling after seeing him after a long time but believe me I'm proud of you that you were able to do this"he said while caressing her face,she just gave a feeble smile to him.while he hugged her and kissed the top of her hair as she tightened her grip on him.Sammer and Annika shared a beautiful bond and with in this two year they came really close and they become bestest of frnd,Annika said all about her past to sameer while he promised her that he will never let anyone harm her or make her weak as he love her fierce cute Annika and If that Blue Eyed cat seems to trouble her he will not let him come near her as he doesn't want another heart break for his friend as she was still broken and another blow will totally shaterred her and he can't see her like that.Sameer was the fiance of Mr.Ahuja's daughter who died long before in an accident he felt a different level of affection towards annika just like he used to have for her ,when he saw her so broken but still carrying that beautiful smiles of her on her face made him fond of her much more and slowly slowly they become good friends and she opened up in front of him,making him feel really over wehlmed by it and didn't know when he fallen in love with this pure soul.But Annika always consider him as her friend and nothing else,while he respected this and kept this secret deep inside his heart.

Well he feel pity on shivaay as annika loved him very much but the fear of getting hurt once again devastaded her.

"Anni I was getting a feeling that he will punched me at that very moment but I was relieved when he didn't done that nahi toh tujhe hi mera mahal Patti karna padta"he said while loooking at the bar and trying to make the atmosphere light and it seeem it worked as annika giggled at his last remark and smacked his shoulder lightly "you are such a Drama Queen"she said and pulled his cheeks"any doubt?'he asked with a smirk and wink at her while she nodded her head in a no."I must say he loved you very much Annika"he whispered after a long pause.She looked at him and diverted her gaze towards him and saw him staring at her,Her eyes once again teared up as she could see how much devastated he look,Pain was evident in his dull orbs along with the longing for her.

Shivaay saw her hugging him while he kissed the top of her hair making his blood boil in rage.how can that dog touched her annika?He just wanted to go and give a punch straight on his beautiful face but controlled himself."Shivaay why are you here go and dance it will be fun"he was brought back from his world by Mr.Ahuja's voice but he simply refused to it.he saw her staring back at him Love filled eyes and didn't know when a drop of tear rolled down his cheeks,He just wiped it off immediately but she had seen it'I wanted to be alone for sometime Sameer please excuse me"she just left the dance floor and ran outside the venue as this was getting worse,she needs to cry her heart out.Shivaay saw her going away and followed her but lost the track.

Tum yun mile ho jabse mujhe

Aur sunehari main lagti hoon

Sirf labon se nahi ab toh

Poore badan se hansti hoon

She went and sat on the bench while crying.With each passing second she felt her heart cracking.How she just wanted to go and hug him tight and never leave him.How she wished to go and kiss him senseless making him believe that she will never leave him no matter what.But the fear of another heartbreak made ehr guards down.No she can't handle another blow,It was so difficult to move on from the dark which had engulfed her after she left him and letting her jump in the dark once again don't go well with her.Sahil needs her,if she let him overpower her than she will loose her.Sameer helped her in coming out of the depression she just can't break his faith.

He started to move on the almost deserted Road looking for her when he heard some one sniffing from behind the bushes,He pushed them aside to clear his view and saw her sitting on the bench sobbing.He goes to her and placed his palm on her shoulder"Sameer If you Love me than please leave me Alone for sometime"she whispered as she doesn't wanted to talk to anyone.Shivaay stiffen at her words"I'm happy that you moved on Annika"he said softly with pain dripping from his each words,she looked up and to see him looking at her with a small smile with blood shot red eyes.She stood up to go but he held her hand causiouly"Can we sit here for sometime?"he asked tightenng his grip on her wrist,she closed her eyes as she felt as if her heart was squeezed in her chest mercilessly.she tried to come out of his grip"Please"he almost whispered making her stop struggling.

Mere din raat salone se

Sab hai tere hi hone se

Yeh saath hamesha hoga nahin

Tum aur kahin main aur kahin

As they sat on the bench keeping a safe distance between,looking at the full moon shivaay thought to break the ice"Annika.."he started"I know i have done wrong to you but believe me I was in a mess at that time,You know what since Iv'e got my senses I was made to believe that Naam khoon and Khaandan are everything but now I'm regretting it everyday and every second,I'm alone annika I killed myself with my own hands.Karma is a bitch see I have given you so much pain and now I'm going through it but all becoz of me.I nee..."he was cut off by the ringtone on annika's phone,she rubbed her tear stained cheeks and looked at the caller Id and than at shivaay who was intendly looking at her.After a small pause she picked up the call with hesitation "He...Hello yes Sameer.Yeah I'm fine---- Arre yes I'm absolutely fine-----.hmm..I'm in the park----- no you don't need to come I'm coming"these were the words which she spoke and ended the call."I need to go Mr.Oberoi"she said with a steady tone while keeping a big stone on her heart and stood up to go"I hope you'll enjoy your life ahead Annika best of luck!"he said and smiled brightly but it didn't reached his eyes"Thank you"she said ending it in a cracked voice and with a last look of him she went away leaving him alone in the dark.

Lekin jab yaad karoge tum

Main banke hawaa aa jaaunga

O...

"I'm not feeling well so I'm going home---No I can manage you don't come---Yeah Bye!"She ended as she made her towards her home.She just wanted to go home where her brother was waiting for her as she wanted someone to pour her heart and at this very moment Sahil was the one.as she closed her eyes sitting in the cab his beautiful smiling face came infront of her and for a brief moment she forget all her sorrow and pain.

Main phir bhi tumko chahunga

Main phir bhi tumko chahunga

Iss chahat mein marr jaunga

Main phir bhi tumko chahunga

Main phir bhi tumko chahunga.

He sat Over there looking at the stars as flood of tears streamed down his cheeks But he had a small smile on his face,in a satisfaction that after more than two years he was able to see her and ensure that she was save and happy.he know he should have been crying or throwing things at this very moment but he was tired of all this now.His heart was already broken and now when it is totally scaterred it doesn't make any difference.Doesn't it? at that time it was hurting and now also it is hurting so now he got use to suffer this pain and he will continue to do it in future though. or maybe his whole life? He kept his palm on his right side of his chest and felt it beating but it was burning.He just rubbed over there softly and closed his eyes and the first thing which came was her smiling face and his heart cooled down a bit and he will try to life with her memories.Althought it will be difficult but he knows he deserved this, maybe the punishment of losing her forever was far more worst then Death.But his heart will never stop beating for her.And he knew this Because He loved her and will continue to Love her.

*********

The end!

Author's Note-

Hello Everyone! I hope I'm not that late in updating it.Well this song was really matching their situation so thought to give a try to my imagination.I really wanted to know wether I was able to stand to your expectations? as I'm not sure is the end was good.In this story Shivaay choosed his Naam Khoon Khaandan instead of annika and he must regret this dicision his whole Life isn't it? So this was a small try on it. And was I able to relate the song to this story?I know most of you must feel bad becoz of this sad ending but believe me I tried to make a lot of changes but messed it up.I never wrote such angst filled stories ever and this was my first time so do tell me how was I in writting it?And cricticise are the most welcome as It will help me to improve as a writer.

Waiting for your response.

With Much Love,
