Making her heart stone, anika went inside their house and surprised to see pinky at the doorstep with teary eyes. she gazes down her vision and didn't raise her head again to see them. shivanya was very enthusiastic to see her mom on their house as real till then she saw her mom only in photos but anika wasn't ready to react anything, neither she touched shivanya nor talked with anyone. shivaay remained silent with a hope that one day, his anika will come back to him like before. 

"where's the guest room?" - anika asked one of the help, she immediately turned his gaze towards shivaay, he nodded helplessly, they took anika's luggage and went towards the guestroom. that's the last time shivanya met her in that week. she was living in the house for sure but like a detached person. shivaay somehow peep inside her room for giving her medicines but he wasn't allowed to speak anything after that. somewhere in his heart shivaay felt blessed to see her daily rather than these 2 years went without her. but shivanya even though having a mom she wasn't allowed to go inside her room. 

"princess, hold the phone properly i can't able to see how they are putting a braid in the hair" - shivaay said while trying to put a braid in shivanya's hair with the help of youtube tutorial.

"pappa... ike dat (like that)" - shivanya said while pointing her finger towards anika's photo frame who was standing while putting a long braid in her hair in that frame.

"that's too complicated! don't know how your mumma able to do that" - shivaay said while struggling with her long hair. 

"ill go to Aika" - shivanya said and about to run away from that place. shivaay picked her wrist and made her face him.

"where are you going?" - shivaay asked her.

"Aika's room" - shivanya replied in a very low tone as her father caught her this time also.

"i said na baby! mumma is suffering from flu, she will come when she becomes healthy" - shivaay said while caressing her hair. 

"in't u give dolo (children fever medicine) to er? (didn't you give dolo to her?)" - shivanya asked him, he chuckled.

"yes, but she's still not feeling well... she warned me if i bring you near to her, the consequences will be very bad" - shivaay said in a scared tone.

"ooohhh paapa... aa u scared? (are you scared?)" - shivanya asked while cupping her mouth.

"who said? i am not scared of your mumma." - shivaay said without facing shivanya.

"paapa... innacio (Pinnochio)" - shivanya smirked while pinching his nose. he smiled, held her in his hands and showered her with kisses.

"my smart girl" - he said where she chuckled.

"of course, i am scared...forgot she's the queen of the forest" - shivaay added while kissing shivanya's forehead.

"ok... let me concentrate on your hairstyle" - shivaay said while facing her towards the mirror. he again tried to put the braid while watching the youtube video. after struggling for 30 minutes, he finally did with her hairstyle.

"uff... finished" - shivaay relieved after finishing the whole process successfully. he didn't feel this much happy when he topped in his university. he smiled heartfully seeing her daughter smiling. 

she went before the mirror and asked, "paapa... itz ike aika's" (its like anika's).

"Why are you calling her with her name? call mumma" - shivaay said in a slightly stern tone.

"ok" - shivanya said while facing his reflection on the mirror. he smiled.

"mumma" - shivanya suddenly yelled on seeing anika's reflection on the mirror. shivaay got stunned and turned his gaze towards the doorstep. upto his shock, anika lost her balance and about to fall. before her body reaches the ground shivaay held her in his arms. shivaay held her in his arms and took her towards the bed.

"paapa..." - shivanya sounded very low and was in an about to cry state.

"nothing happened to mumma... i said know... just flu... she will become alright" - shivaay consoled shivanya. after placing anika on the bed, he took the phone and called the doctor with his shivering hand.

he informed the news to pinky where she's rushing towards their house in another side. shivanya became hell conscious of seeing her father's state, even though he didn't cry shivanya became so scared. she moved towards anika and held her hands.

"mumma... i promice... i ont eat chocolates... i ill e a ood irl (i won't eat chocolates, i will be a good girl)" - shivanya said while placing her head on her chest, where tears started to flow from shivaay's eyes. he understood how much he loves his daughter, he can't replace anika. he moved towards shivanya's side and caressed in her hair but shivanya didn't care she hugged anika tighter. shivaay left with no words on seeing shivanya and anika's bond. 

shivaay forcefully took shivanya in his arms when the doctor came and checked her. shivanya cried helplessly and was not ready to leave anika, but shivaay consoled her.

"mumma..." - she cried while the doctor filled the injection. the doctor stopped and stared at her.

"Mr. Oberoi... can you please..." the doctor asked shivaay to take shivanya outside. shivaay took the crying shivanya outside with a heavy heart.

"mumma" - she again cried helplessly.

"Why are you crying? forget your mumma is the bravest queen of the forest" - shivaay said. 

"so... it on't e aining fa mumma" (so it won't be paining for mumma) - shivanya asked him between her sobs.

"no... absolutely not" - shivaay said with a smile just to console crying shivanya. shivanya hugged him tightly. by then, the doctor came outside and saw the crying shivanya on his arms.

"don't worry your mumma is fine..." - the doctor said to shivanya. shivanya turned back and looked at the doctor with a smile. she gestured shivaay to leave her on the floor. he placed her on the floor and she ran towards the room.

"What happened, doctor?" - shivaay asked the doctor in a worried tone.

"panic attack... thankfully nothing went wrong... after you told everything, i prefer you to take her to the psychiatrist... maybe they have a solution for her depressed state..." - the doctor advised shivaay, he got convinced but before he wants to talk to anika about this issue heartfully once least thinking about the outcome.

"ok... i will..." - shivaay said and asked khanna to drop him in the doorstep. by then pinky and rudy arrived. without wasting time, pinky hugged shivaay where he didn't speak or utter anything as his mind is driving around anika's situation. learning his situation, pinky also didn't speak anything and moved towards the room.

she saw shivanya hugging anika and sleeping peacefully on placing her head on her chest. as far pinky knew about her granddaughter, she won't sleep that much faster. she usually takes hours to close her eyes, but here within minutes, she slept on anika's chest. a lone tear escaped along with a smile from pinky. by then, shivaay came inside and sat on the other side of anika.

their beautiful memories are rushing inside his head, rather than repeating it he can't able to do anything. inside he cried on his disability. he can't able to give the care and love she gave it to him when he was at the utmost broken state. she never let him broke down at any situation rather than gave him hope to face the world which was completely against them.

shivaay and anika left with no balance even for coming back to India. shivaay didn't find any job because Daksha's company black marked him. the whole responsibility came to pregnant anika's head. but she didn't show her pain or anything on her face. she used to give shivaay bank details to her office and her salary will get credited in his account. she's trying at her utmost level not to hurt him at any cost. doing that she wanted to assure him that nothing will ever change in their relationship. shivaay understood her intentions and felt blessed to have her in his life. but still, he don't know anything about her pregnancy.

the time was about 12 in the midnight, shivaay heard sobs from the bathroom which broke his sleep in the midnight. he becomes hell conscious when he didn't find anika on his bed. he moved towards the bathroom and the sobs become louder and louder.

"anika..." - he knocked on the door in a scared state. she didn't say anything, rather than her sobs become louder. out of patience, he opened the door, shocked to see anika lying on the floor and crying in pain while holding the stomach.

"Anie..." - he yelled and took her in his arms. he gently placed her on the bed and caressed her hair. 

"what happened? why are crying?" - shivaay asked her in a crying tone.

"shivaay... hospital... our child..." - those are the words escaped from her mouth between her sobs. 

"child" - shivaay questioned her but she cried to the hell. his mind went blank, the only thing which was in his mind was anika and her sobs. he took her in his arms and went to the hospital. he kept crying anika on the stretcher and left her hand with a heavy heart when they took her towards the ICU. shivaay ears continuously banged with her sobs even though it has been 30 mins since she left inside. at last, the doctor came out after 30 mins.

"bayi dan ibu baik-baik saja" - she said shivaay didn't understand it as she's speaking in Indonesian. 

"sorry!" - shivaay asked her to repeat in English.

"mother and baby are fine... very close to miscarriage... she needs complete bed rest till the baby born"- she announced. his heartbeat skipped for a while hearing the most beautiful news of his life in this way. he was hell confused about how to react to this news whether he wanted to smile on hearing her pregnancy or to cry learning about the baby's health condition. he recalled everything how anika hid the pain from him and didn't even utter a word about the baby.

he went inside, anika opened her eyes listening to the door opening sound. she tried to get up but shivaay rushed and made her half-sit on the bed. she looked at him with guilt but shivaay didn't even raise his head and looked at her once.

"you know right, i can tolerate anything but not your ignorance" - anika asked him in a very low tone.

"take rest... i will come" - he said and about to move from that place, she held his wrist and stopped him from leaving.

"Please..." - she pleaded where he stopped and she pulled him made him sit on the bed. she cupped his face and made his eyes to look at him but he didn't look at her. he looked here and there with teary eyes.

"hey! you know right... what will happen to my heart when i see these tears from your eyes?" - anika whispered. he quickly wiped his tears.

"why?" - he asked her while facing the ground.

"i love you" - she said while trying him to face her. he looked at her.

"tell me what to do? cry or laugh" - shivaay asked her with teary eyes, she tried to wipe it off but he stopped her.

"let it fall" - he said coldly.

"want to hurt me?" - anika asked him with teary eyes and wiped his tears where he didn't stop.

"you know i love you more than anything... i can't see you in a broken state... you know that" - she said and forcefully took his face towards her face and kissed his lips but he didn't respond.  that kiss did magic, he slightly got relieved.

"what if something happened to our child?" - shivaay asked her while caressing her hair.

"our child is not that much weak..." - anika whispered. 

"i wouldn't have forgiven myself when something happened to my child" - he said while clutching her stomach. 

"he is the son of the most powerful warrior in this world... shivaay Singh oberoi's son... how can he be so weak?"  - anika asked shivaay but instead of saying anything he kissed her, she kissed him back.

"you're the real warrior anie... see she will become like her mom... i thought of keeping you like Mumtaz... but you turned out to be Jhansi rani... you see, our daughter will be an exact replica of you" - he said. she chuckled where their foreheads were in the kissing position.

"say, i love you" - anika asked him. he nodded no while closing his eyes.

"Please... for our daughter..." - anika asked him.

"i respect you more than loving you... you earned my respect Mrs. Oberoi..." - he said. 

"but i want your love more... please say, i love you" - anika asked him.

"my love for you went beyond infinity... i love you my bravest queen" - shivaay said and kissed her all over her face where she hugged him tightly and didn't even let the air to separate them.

shivaay - pinky called shivaay who was lost in his memories on seeing anika. he turned his face towards her.

shivanya slept i take her to her room... take care of anika...  - pinky asked shivaay. he nodded yes faintly. pinky took shivanya from anika's chest and closed the door before leaving. where shivaay took the duvet and tugged himself inside. he pulled anika to his side and made her face burry on his shoulder while wrapping his hands around her waist.

anika... i am feeling helpless... just for once please tell me i love you..." - shivaay whispered on her ears but anika didn't do anything. his words didn't reach her ears, unfortunately. tears were about to fall when he felt anika hugging him tight and pulled him close to her.
