Hey people......
Back with the next chapter.....

And many are having confusions regarding Shivanshi and Shika..... Well Shivika has only one child i.e Shivanshi/Shivi/Anshi
And Shika is the name of the company that Shivaay had started after knowing that he isn't an Oberoi....

I hope I'm clear with this confusion.....

This part is dedicated to my dear behena lovely_anju99 and my brother.

Belated Happy Birthday Behena
And Happy Birthday to my Brother.

Let's not waste a single minute more and dive into the chapter......

Enjoy.................
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anika(emotionlessly): Tia Kapoor is pregnant......

Riddhima(shocked): What? But how is that even possible...... For 6 months you and jiju were in London then.....

Anika: That was my question as well. But seeing Shivaay's tensed face I couldn't ask him anything. Though he was showing that he is strong but I knew he was breaking from inside thinking that he has betrayed me. So without wasting any single day we left for India and when we reached Oberoi mansion...... Hell broke on me.......

*FLASHBACK*

*Oberoi Mansion*

Shivika was about to enter when Pinki stopped them.

Pinki(high pitched voice): Shivaay...... What is this behaviour of yours? Without saying anyone..... even me too you just left before 6 months and now you are returning with this road side thrash. Do you even know what all happened here? Shivaay.....

Dadi(stern voice): Pinki let them enter at least. And Billu did not inform anyone it is not correct. He did inform me that he is going with Anika out of India for few months. They are newly married. Let them enjoy themselves.

Pinki: But Mummyji...... This Anika is trying to snatch my son from me and now from his child too. You know Shivaay..... Tia is pregnant and.......

Shivaay(calm voice): Mom..... Tia can't be pregnant..... with my child.

Pinki(shocked): What are you saying Shivaay? You mean to say Tia is telling lies. No Shivaay. I know that baby is yours. Aare did you forget the day after your marriage with this Anika. After reception party..... You and Tia spent the night toge.....

Shivaay(shouts): Mom...... Not a word more. Nothing happened that night. Nothing.......

Anika held his hand tightly. He calmed a little and looked towards her. She blinked her eyes saying that she is with him.

Shivaay(calm voice): Mom..... try to understand. Nothing happened that night....... I wasn't in my senses but I know I can never betray Anika.

Pinki: Shivaay..... You just now said you weren't in your senses then how do you even know that nothing happened. And if you can never betray Anika then why were you with Tia that night and not with Anika? Say.....

Shivaay: Mom that night.....

Anika(interrupting him): Aunty...... That night Shivaay was with me..... And nothing.....

Pinki(shouts): Now you will talk between us...... Haa..... Teri Itni himmat. Everything..... Everything is happening because of this manhus. (Comes towards Anika and tries to hold her hand) Today I will finish this chapter ones and for all.

Before anyone could understand, Pinki pushed Anika out of the house. Anika stumbled due to the force but was saved on the right time by Shivaay. He pulled her towards himself and wrapped his hands around her tightly.

Shivaay(checking on her): Are you fine? Did you hurt yourself somewhere?

Anika(still scared): I'm fine..... nothing happened. I am fine.

Shivaay(looked towards Pinki with anger): Mom..... for the last time I'm saying you. Anika is my wife and I will not bear any insult or torture on her. Otherwise I will forget who you are to me. And regarding Tia...... I want to do a DNA test of the baby.

He declared his decision and went towards his room with Anika, not wanting her to leave her alone under the prey of Mrs. Oberoi.

*Shivika's room*

Shivaay(holds her hands firmly): Anika believe me please that night.....

Anika(smiles lightly): Did I ask you anything?

Shivaay(confused): What?

Anika: Shivaay..... I believe you. And even if something happened on that night.... (his eyes widened) Don't worry nothing actually happened, I would always believe you because you have teachings given by Dadi. And I will always believe you..... always.

Shivaay(hugs her tightly): Thank you so much Anika..... Thank you. You don't know what was I going through. I thought I have broken your trust and betrayed you. (Breaks the hug) And I'm sure the DNA test will come negative. Right?

Anika: Of course Shivaay. That night you were with me and I believe you.

*FLASHBACK ENDS*

Riddhima: Then what happened? Of course the test was negative right?

Anika(nodding her head as no): It is said rightly...... whatever we expect never happens and that only came true. DNA test turned out to be positive.

Riddhima(shocked): What? But...... But..... It's impossible......

Anika(sighs): I know and so did Shivaay. So he asked for a second test.

Riddhima: Then?

*FLASHBACK STARTS*

Pinki: Shivaay why don't you accept that the baby is yours. I'm sure it is this manhus idea for another test.

Shivaay(stern voice): Mom..... dare you insult Anika. And it is my idea to conduct another test.

Tia(fake crying): Shivaay baby..... you don't believe me any more. This baby is yours and why would I lie to you.

Shivaay(obvious tone): If the baby is mine then why are getting worried of getting tested again. Right? I want another test and it's final. And the doctor will be mine this time.

Pinki: You do the test 2 times or 10 times the truth will not change.

*FLASHBACK ENDS*

Riddhima: Then?

Anika: Then......

A knock interrupted the conversation.

Anika: Come in.

Mitali entered and was about to say something when she looked towards Riddhima and Vansh.

Mitali(unsure tone): Am I interrupting something?

Anika: No Mitali. Nothing important.

Mitali(still unsure seeing Riddhima's tears): Okay...... You had called me Ma'am?

Anika: Yes..... I have already sent you the documents for the.......

They discussed about office work for sometime and later Mitali left.

Riddhima: Anika...... You were assigning works as if it is to be done by today only.

Anika: Nothing like that........ I just.....

Riddhima(serious tone): Anika..... do you even sleep at all?

Anika(chuckled dryly): Sleep...... I don't know.......

Riddhima: Anika, are you crazy? You will fall sick and.....

Anika(stopping her): Let's talk about me later. How did you find me? I thought I was able to hide my identity very well.

Riddhima: No....... First tell me what happened next.

Anika: But......

Riddhima: Don't forget I'm still angry on you for vanishing in thin air. If you don't want your staffs to see you getting slaps and sandals then start speaking.

Anika(sighs): Fine...... Another DNA test was supposed to happen but the doctor from whom Shivaay wanted was out of station and he was returning a week later. As a result, he had to unwillingly let Tia and her mother stay in Oberoi mansion.

Riddhima: And I'm sure they must have done something......

Anika: Yes...... And that was beginning of my dark life......

*FLASHBACK STARTS*

Shivaay had to unwillingly allow Tia and her mother to stay but he was always very alert regarding Anika.

On the other hand, Anika was thinking something. She knew the baby wasn't Shivaay, then whose. If she proves that Tia was already cheating before marriage or something like that then it will a win - win case. So she went to Om and Rudra asking for their help but their behaviour and attitude towards Shivaay shocked her to the core.

Anika: But why aren't you both going to help me? What is the reason? Don't you both love Shivaay. You also think that Shivaay cheated on me with Tia.

Rudra: Bhabi, we don't want to talk about it. We are sorry we can't help you.

Anika(disbelief look): Om, you also?

Om: Bhabi..... I'm sorry.

Anika: But why? What is the reason? OmRu did you both forget, he is the same Shivaay who was always beside you both and now when he needs your support you aren't coming forward. Why? What is the reason?

Rudra(shouts): Because he isn't our brother. And he can never be our brother.

Om(shouts): Rudra......

Anika(shocked and scared): What do you mean by Shivaay is not your brother? He is an......

Rudra(angrily): Yes, he isn't our brother. He is Shivaay Singh Oberoi for whom fame and name is all. He can go to any extent to do anything for business.

Anika(sighed internally): What do you mean by he can do anything for business? Shivaay is possessive about naam, khoon, khandan but he......

Rudra(angrily): Shivaay Singh Oberoi can go to any extent...... And by any extent I mean...... He can use girls for his own benefit and trust me Bhabi...... You and Tia and one of those.......

*Chatak*

A hard slap landed on Rudra's face which made him fall on the floor. Anika was blazing in anger hearing him. She looked towards Om to see him shocked.

Anika(dangerous voice): You also think the same about Shivaay?

Om(hesitantly): I..... I......

Anika(shows her hand): I understood everything. And let me tell you both one thing..... The day you will come to know the truth...... You will not have the opportunity to repent. Mark my words.

She was about to leave when Rudra spoke again.

Rudra(still angry): It is better to not  have a brother like Shivaay. And I pray he pays for his deeds. And I will never ever repent my words and actions never.

Om: Bhabi..... Rudra is......

Anika(dangerous voice): Bhabi bolne ka hak tum dono kho chuke ho......

She walked out of the room but she failed to notice the figure standing just by the door.

_*_

Anika called Mahi and said him to meet her. She went without informing anyone.

*Cafe*

Anika(anxious): Mahi..... I need your help.

Mahi: Bhabi calm down..... Relax. And tell me slowly.

She said everything that happened in OM and said about her doubts too. She skipped her talks with OmRu.

Mahi(shocked): Bhabi..... So much happened and you are informing me now. I know this Kapoor mother daughter will surely create some drama. (Rubbing his head in tension)

Anika(tensed): Now what to do Mahi? I don't know from where to start and where to end.

Mahi: Wait I will just call Prinku.

Anika(confused): Prinku.... What will she do?

Mahi(calling her): Just wait and watch.

Sometime later Priyanka arrived and was shocked seeing Anika there with Mahi.

Priyanka(shocked): Bhabi you here.....

Anika(hesitantly): Yaa...... actually...... woh......

Mahi: Bhabi she knows everything........ I mean everything.... (stressing the word)

Anika(sighs): Wow..... And none said me about it. Not even Shivaay.....

Mahi: Because he doesn't know.

Anika(shocked): What?

Mahi(nodding in affirmation): Yes..... But now something else is important. Prinku... did you find any information?

Prinku: Bhaiya..... Choti mom is not involved in this pregnancy drama. It is Tia and her mother's plan.

Anika: So Pinki aunty is also being fooled and making her believe that the baby is Shivaay's.

Prinku: Yes Bhabi.

Anika: I know.... Even Shivaay knows that Tia is telling lies. But how to prove it? The DNA test was tampered I'm sure.

Mahi: Bhabi..... I don't know whether it will be useful for you or not. I'm trying to find out why did Tia run away on the day of the wedding. Though it was good only but still.

Anika(remembers something): There is this person..... what was the name..... (hitting her head) Soch Anika.... Soch.... Think..... Haa.... Robin...... Try finding about him. Though once when he visited, Tia had introduced him as her brother but seeing them I felt muchmichi.

Mahi(confused): Aa.... Bhabi muchmichi?

Anika: I mean wierd. Tia and Robin looked more like brother sister.

Mahi: Okay Bhabi. I will look into and get you the information soon. When is the 2nd DNA test?

Anika: Next week and before that only I want a solid proof against Tia.

They planned to work very secretly and dispersed from the cafe. But as soon as they left, a speeding bike almost ran over Anika making her fall on the side of the road hitting her forehead hard. She couldn't handle the unbearable pain and fainted.

_*_

Anika tried to open her eyes but felt heavy. She forcefully opened to be blinded by bright lights. She touched her forehead to feel a bandage. She tried to get up but nurse stopped her.

Nurse: Please don't move Mrs. Oberoi. You have a serious head injury.

Anika: But I want to go home.

Nurse: But we can't leave you today......

Priyanka(entering the room): Nurse.... Bhabi's discharge papers. And doctor has allowed us.

Nurse just nodded and removed her drips. Anika looked towards Priyanka and asked.

Anika: Mahi?

Priyanka: He is outside.

Anika: I hope you haven't informed Shivaay about this accident.

Priyanka: Well..... He was calling you for a long time. So I just switched off your phone.

Anika(shocked): What? Prinku are you crazy? Now he will surely kill me when I reach home.

Priyanka: Bhaiya love you. He won't kill you.

Anika(sarcastically): Yaa..... Yaa..... Let's go.

They moved out of the room to see Mahi. He was insisting to drop them but Anika refused. She assured him that she would be careful and forcefully sent him home and they moved towards OM.

_*_

Shivaay was walking to and fro the hall and timely looking towards the door. He was still trying to call Anika but it still said switched off. He was losing his patience slowly. Pinki, Tia and Mrs. Kapoor saw him and couldn't stop themselves from speaking.

Pinki: Shivaay..... I think Anika understood that her cards wont work here so she left herself. What do you Mrs. Kapoor?

Mrs. Kapoor: Absolutely right Pinki ji. Anika isn't even equivalent to my Tia's nails.

Tia: That wedding planner finally understood that she isn't fit for being Shivaay Singh oberoi's wife. (Comes towards Shivaay) Its so good Shivaay baby that she left herself otherwise she had to face humiliation and go through divorce. Right baby?

Shivaay(moves away from Tia): Just stay in your limit Tia. (Firm voice) And I know Anika will never leave me..... Never..... So stop saying rubbish. And.....

"You are absolutely right Shivaay..... Anika can never leave her Shivaay...."

Everyone looked towards the source of voice to see Anika with Priyanka as her support. Shivaay's eyes widened seeing blood on her dress and bandage on her head. He rushed towards her and held her weak body.

Shivaay(panicked): Anika.... what happened? This wound......

Anika: Shivaay I'm fine..... It is not so serious.....

Shivaay(concerned): But this bandage and blood..... and where were you? Why didn't you inform me before going?

Anika: Shivaay...... Shivaay.... I'm fine. And I forgot to inform you before going. I'm sorry.

Priyanka: Bhaiya..... Bhabi needs rest. So......

Shivaay: Yes..... Yes.....

Anika tried to move but hissed. Shivaay without thinking anything just picked her up in his arms. Her eyes widened seeing his stunts. She tried to say something but he just glared at her making her shut. And royally ignoring everyone in the hall, they went towards their room. But they were unaware that three pairs were buring holes on their closeness.

*FLASHBACK ENDS*

Riddhima(gasped): But how did the accident happen? Was...... was it.....

Anika(emotionalessly): Yes..... Planned. And that wasn't the first or the last one. Tia and her mother were planning something big which neither Shivaay nor I could even think about it. First that accident..... then.....

*FLASHBACK STARTS*

Within 3 days, Anika was back to her normal health. She was constantly in contact Mahi about their investigations. But something was not right in the Oberoi mansion. She has been noticing that some sort of danger was always looming over her head.

Just like without any reason, when she was walking down the stairs..... She suddenly slipped but was saved on the right time by Shivaay. Though she had received a good scolding from him for being careless but she couldn't miss the looming shadow behind the pillar and the oil drops on the stairs.

That wasn't the end...... Someone had mixed a good amount of sleeping pills in her evening tea and when she woke up, she found herself on her bed with a worried Shivaay beside her. Upon asking, he said that she was locked in the giant freezer of the mansion. She gave him a confused look hearing it.

And the heights of these incident was then..... When someone had added peanuts in her food, which she was highly allergic too. It would have almost chocked her to death if Shivaay wouldn't had inverwind at the right time giving her the anti allergic shots.

All these incidents were stressing Shivaay a lot as well. He could clearly see that someone was after Anika's life. Someone is trying to kill Anika. He had increased the security especially on Anika. But still, the dangers didn't leave her. For no reason someone would pushed Anika into the pool, or push her down the stairs. And how can he forget the poisonous gas in their room and her frail body on the floor. He only knows.... how he had saved her that day. He made a point to find the cause of these incidents and save her from it.

*FLASHBACK ENDS*

Riddhima(gasped): Oh my God! Was it.... The Kapoors?

Anika(nodding her head): Yes..... along with Pinky Aunty.

Riddhima(shocked): And Jiju knew about it?

Anika(sighs): No..... He just knew Kapoors were involved. Pinky Aunty was playing safe and under the covers.

Riddhima: My God. That Lady is seriously........ (calms herself down) Then what happened? Did the second DNA test happen?

Anika: Yes..... And from that day hell broke down in my life.

*FLASHBACK STARTS *

Shivaay: Dr. Sharma, how many days will it take for the results to come?

Dr. Sharma: Sir, it will take about a day. By tomorrow afternoon or evening you might get the results......

Shivaay(nodding his head): Hmm.... Please be very careful while doing the test and (looks towards Tia and her mother) Please be aware that no one should be able to tamper it.

Dr. Sharma: Don't worry Mr. Oberoi. We have the best security in our hospital. I will personally look into this case. I will take your leave now. (He leaves)

Pinky(annoyed): Shivaay, I'm telling you again and again but you won't listen. This baby is yours only and what is this about tampers and all. I am sure this Anika will try to do something to prove that this child isn't yours.

Shivaay(sternly): Mom..... I have already said you and I'm saying you again..... Not a word against Anika. I will not bear it.

Anika squeezed his hand telling him to not speak to his mother like that. He sighed heavily and nodded.

The day went on smoothly without any unnatural incident. It seemed as if it is the calm before the storm.

*Shivika's room*

Anika was very anxious for some unknown reason. She was continually walking up and down the room. She was so lost that she failed to see that she was about to dash with someone until the person held her firmly.

"Cara..... What happened? Why are you walking around like this? And what is this? Do you even see where you are going? What if you would have hit the door or the wall? "

Anika(sighs with relief): Shivaay...... (she hugs him tightly and instantly)

Shivaay(hugging her back): Anika...... What happened? Did anyone say anything to you? Tell me..... Who said? Mo...... I mean Mrs. Oberoi said anything to you...... Tell me Cara......

Anika(nodding her head as no): No one said anything to me. I'm just..... I'm just scared...... I don't know...... I'm having a feeling that......

Shivaay: That.....

Anika(scared voice): That...... something bad is going to happen. I don't know....... I'm scared...... I don't want to loose you.(breaking the hug) Please Shivaay...... Promise me.....(putting her hand in front of him) Promise me that you will never leave me alone......

Shivaay: Anika.....

Anika(shakes her head): No I won't listen anything. First promise me.......

Shivaay (putting his hand in hers): I promise.........

Anika(showing her little finger): Pinky promise?

Shivaay (clasping her little finger with his): Pinky promise.

A small smile played their face seeing their fingers but being totally unaware of the plot that is being set for them.

*Joshi Residence*
*Study room*

Mahi was in continuous contact with Priyanka and trying to find out regarding Tia. Currently both of them were together trying to join the dots.

Mahi: This guy Robin is missing since a month. Is it a coincidence or something else?

Priyanka: Why do I feel I have seen this guy somewhere?

Mahi: You have seen him when he came with Tia to Oberoi mansion during Bhaiya's wedding planning.

Priyanka: No.... no..... Somewhere else. As in some sort of resort of something..... Even Tia was also there. They were way to close to each other.

Mahi: Means?

Priyanka: They looked more like a couple than siblings.

Mahi:What are you trying to say? That Robin is......

Priyanka: Either Tia's boyfriend or fiancee or......

Mahi(shocked): Husband...... I'm sure this is the case.

Priyanka: But we haven't found any marriage certificate of theirs.

Mahi: Maybe...... Robin isn't Robin. He is someone else. His official name isn't Robin but something else.

Priyanka: And how are we supposed to find his official name?

"Dushyant is his name....."

They were shocked and turned around to see Jayesh standing.

Mahi: Dad.....

Jayesh(walking in): Yes...... He is Dushyant..... Dushyant Walia..... He is from a middle class family. His father, Raj Walia works in our company as manager.

Mahi(shocked): What? Robin is Raj uncle's son?

Jayesh(sighs): Yes...... And Raj has been absent for a few days. So when I called him because he had taken permission for leave...... He was hesitating. I had to force him to know about the reason..... And......

Mahi and Priyanka(anxiously): And?

Jayesh(sighs): Robin....... I mean Dushyant has been missing since a month.

Mahi: They didn't file any missing complaint to the police for a month.

Jayesh: Interesting fact is that they weren't aware about it until a week before.

Priyanka: How is it even possible? Their son didn't return and they got to know about it a week before. How?

Jayesh: Because Dushyant doesn't live with his parents. He stays separately with his wife.

Mahi: And what about his wife? Why didn't she inform the police regarding it?

Jayesh: Because she thinks that he is dead.

They gasped hearing it.

Priyanka: Robin is dead? And who is this wife of his?

Jayesh(serious voice): The same whose boyfriend, fiancee or husband you are trying to find.

Mahi(shocked): Tia Kapoor.....

Jayesh(serious): Or better to be called as Mrs. Tia Dushyant Walia...... W/O Dushyant Raj Walia.....

Mahi: Okay....... So the whole scene is such that...... Tia is married to Dushyant or Robin.

Priyanka: Tia introduced Robin as her brother to us. But why?

Mahi: Because Mrs. Kapoor didn't accept their marriage and wanted Tia to marry to Bhaiya as he was the potential type of husband she wanted and......

Jayesh: Kapoors have an old arch rivalry with the Oberois. (Takes a deep breath) They want to destroy the Oberois once and for all.

Mahi: But why?

Jayesh(sighs and sits down the couch): That is what I'm trying to find but I'm unable to.

Mahi: Bhaiya might know about it?

Jayesh: I doubt.

Priyanka: But we can at least try once and ask. Who knows he might have a knowledge about it.

Mahi(taking his phone out): Let me call him and ask.

Jayesh: No don't call him now. They are already tensed regarding the DNA test. Let's not give them more stress.

Priyanka: But Uncle...... (Jayesh looks at her pointedly) I mean...... Baba...... If we just prove that Tia is already married then the whole problem and confusion regarding the baby will be solved.

Jayesh(sighs): It won't.

Mahi and Priyanka(confused): Why?

Jayesh: Because Tia thinks Dushyant is dead and she will not deny it also as she has done the last rights of her husband. And Mrs. Kapoor will also second her in it that she isn't married. And lastly, the Walia family isn't aware of the havoc in their son's life. So no one will come forward to help us.

Mahi(banging his hand on the table): Then how are we suppose to help Bhaiya?

Jayesh: Hurting yourself isn't going to help you or us in this time. We need to think something big and solid to save Shivaay from this mess. And its first step will be the DNA test whose result will be out tomorrow.

Priyanka: I'm sure someone or the other will try to tamper it.

Jayesh: That's why Anika will be going tomorrow personally to collect the report.

Mahi: Who said you that? And she will be going alone?

Jayesh: Anika had called me few hours ago. She sounded very anxious and nervous. And it's natural. So many unnatural things have happened with her already and the 1st result came positive. She is very scared. And Of course she wont be going alone. You will be going too. But watch out no one should be able to see you.

Mahi(sighs): Hmm....... I just hope everything finishes smoothly without any more hurdle.

Priyanka: Me too.

They were hoping for some sort of a miracle which will finish all these problems. But..........

*Somewhere unknown*

Two people are seen...... more precisely one on a big chair with a glass of beer sipping occasionally and other in front of him shivering with fear.

P1: What information you have?

P2: I'm sorry Sir..... but I can't say. It is against my...... my...... ethics.

P1: Hmm..... ethics..... I see. Did you forget how you got the job in that hospital?

P2(shivering): No..... No..... Sir. But..... I can.....

P1(angry): Just shut up and tell me whatever you know. Otherwise I wont take long to destroy your whole existence along with your family. You don't know me...... I am Tej Singh Oberoi. Just one call and everything will in ashes and pages.

P2(falls on his knees begging in front of him): Please Sir....... Please...... I beg you don't harm my family. Please sir.......

Tej(holds the other man's hair in his right grip pulling his face up): Then spill whatever you know about my nephew Shivaay Singh Oberoi.

The other man or rather the nurse nodded and started saying something. As he said each sentence, the smirk on Tej's face grew. At the end of the tale, he started laughing hysterically. He took a few bundles of notes and threw it towards the nurse.

Tej: Take these notes and disappear from this city admist the darkness of the night along with your family. If I ever see you or your family in this city again then you wont see the sun of the next day. Understood? (Nurse nodded) Now get lost. (Nurse hurriedly left) Now..... Now ...... My dearest nephew who will save you from me.......

He laughed like a maniac enjoying his beer.

*Next Day*

Anika could see Shivaay was very anxious and tensed. He was so lost that he had forgotten to his regular dose of medicine. She collected his medicines and was about to move towards him when she stumbled. A sudden wave of dizziness hit her hard. She held her head and was about to fall when someone caught her and saved her on time. She swayed a little and put her head on the person's chest.

"Anika........ Cara....... What happened? Hey!!....."

Shivaay tried to ask her but she wouldn't raise her head. She was murmuring something which he couldn't decipher.

Shivaay: Anika..... Come sit down. (Made her sit on the bed) Water.....  (he tried to reach out for the jug)

Anika: I'm..... fine..... I'm fine Shivaay.

Shivaay: Okay let me get the water at least.

Anika: No.... I don't need.

Shivaay: But.......(cutting him)

" She wont drink. And I said her not to do that. "

Shivaay(turning towards the source): Dadi...... But why?

Dadi(walking inside the room): She has kept fast for you. She isn't going to drink water or food till the reports don't come in your favour.

Shivaay(shocked) : What? Anika are you mad? You will fall sick. What is the need of doing all these?

Anika(trying to make herself stable): It is needed. I heard that if we complete it with full faith then we will surely get the result. I know the reports will be negative but I don't trust my luck. Whenever I think everything is fine something or the other happens. So I'm not taking any risk especially when your life is involved.

Shivaay looked towards Anika with a different glint. He shook his head and just kissed her forehead hard.

Shivaay(softly): I know you won't listen to me because you are maha tadibaaz. (She frowned hearing him) Don't frown now. So as soon as the report arrives you are going to break your fast. Am I clear? (Tries to protest) No I won't hear anything. Am I clear?

Anika(murmurs): Yes......

Shivaay: Good. Now take rest and don't run around the whole mansion.

She nodded and rested her head on the headrest instantly closing her eyes. Shivaay looked at her pale face and sighed. Dadi saw them and smiled lightly. She patted on his shoulder and left them alone.

*Afternoon*
A ring resonated through the silent and calm room waking Anika up from her sleep. She took her phone and the information from the other end made her fully awake. She quickly walked towards the cupboard, took her chikni and almost ran out of the mansion, even before Khanna ji could stop her.

*3 hours later*

A Lady is seen begging and crying in front of a Man. No one was coming up to help her. At one corner, we can see an old Lady crying silently but she was helpless.

Lady(crying): Shivaay...... Please. At least let me speak just ones.

Shivaay(stern voice): My decision is final. Just sign the divorce papers and leave my life at once.

Anika: But.....

Shivaay(holding her chin harshly): Don't you understand one thing. Just sign it damn it.

She looked at his eyes and that was her biggest mistake. She silently took the papers and signed them without even glancing at once. She stood up with wobbly steps and walked out of the mansion.

*FLASHBACK ENDS*

Riddhima(gasped): What? Jiju forced you to leave. But why?

Anika(sighs): To sa...........

A hurried knock interrupted her midway. She gave permission to be shocked. She hurriedly left the cabin with Shivi and the voice resonating through her ears............

Mrs Grace: Mr. Shane..... Emergency.

Precap: Anika slaps Mahi.
Flashback continues.
