As she was moving away from her life, as she was going far from her Shivay, destiny played its game again.
"Miss Annika!!!!!!"
"Miss Annikaaaa!!!!"
She heard someone calling out her name. Thinking it to be a hallucination, she kept moving.
"Wait, Miss Annika,"
The voice reached her ears again.
She turned to look at a familiar face from the hospital. It was the same nurse who was the attendant at the reception.
Her heart started sinking out of fear! Is there something wrong with her Shivay? Did something happen to him?
"What happened? Is Shivay okay? Tell me what is wrong?" she asked with a shocking cum scared face.

"Miss Annika, please relax. I m here to take you back to the hospital. Mr Shivay has finally gained consciousness and the only name he has been calling out since then is only yours. Please come with me asap" the nurse told her the good news of the day. Finally, after everything that has happened with her the whole day, it was the only good thing that she heard.

Her dull face gained life, it shined with happiness and tears of happiness. Her Shivay was fine, and he was asking out for her. As soon as she turned to run towards the hospital, those bitter words poisoned her ears again, a shiver ran down her spine when those cruel but true words hurt her ears again. She was bad luck for Shivay, as soon as she left the hospital he came back to life. Wasn't it the sign from God himself that her presence near him was nothing but dangerous for him. She can't go back.

Annika stood aloof at the same point. The nurse could see the change of expression. It appeared to the nurse that she was fighting a war. She felt pity at her condition. She was able to get an idea of what must have happened after she saw Sheetal grabbing Annika's hand and asking her to go out of the hospital.

"Miss Annika! I am no one to say a word in your personal matter but what appears to me is that right now you are in a dilemma. I don't know what is the issue but what I know is that Mr. shivay needs you right now. It's very important for you to be with him."
She told Annika, who was just crying standing there.

"I might cause danger to him. My presence is nothing but fatal for him" Annika spoke with a broken voice which has a lot of pain in it.

"As far as I can see, I observed you since the time you came with him, all I can say is your presence is not fatal but necessary for him. The amount of love and care your eyes have for him can never cause him any danger. It can only bring him back to life. I have seen you crying for him since you arrived here, someone who loves him so much can never cause any pain to him. And what I can see right now is that he doesn't want you to go. It's like a sign from his side that the moment you left the hospital he came back to life and is just taking your name. Please understand the seriousness of the moment and come with me or else it might risk his life"

Annika could not think anything else after she heard that it could cause a risk to his life. She started running towards the hospital while the nurse just smiled and followed her.

Meanwhile, in the hospital, Sheetal was not allowed to enter the ward. Shivay was semi-conscious but he was only calling out for Annika. Sheetal was not able to see Shivay like that but more than that her heart wrenched at the thought of him calling out for Annika.
The doctors were waiting for the nurse who told that she knew who Annika was.

As soon as Sheetal saw Annika in front of the ward, her face turned white. She was not able to see her coming back to her son's life.
"How dare you come back...?" Sheetal said gritting her teeth when the nurse came in between and said,
"Please let her go inside, it's important for your son. Get aside and let us do our work"

The nurse pulled Annika inside the ward while she observed the hateful stare that Sheetal gave her. She went inside and saw Shivay in the semi-conscious state. He was surrounded by a doctor and two nurses.

"Are you Annika?" the doctor asked her.
She nodded positively with the marks of worry shining on her face.
"Where were you? He has been so restless since he came back to consciousness. Right now he is semi conscious, it might take him time to gain full senses. Please be with him while we wait for how your arrival turns out to be for his health" the doctor said and left. The nurses followed him.

"Please don't go inside for now mam. Let him be with her, he is still under observation and we want to see how her presence affects him" the doctor told Sheetal who was standing on the door. She turned around with a flash of jealousy on her face and sat down on the chair outside the ward.

As soon as Annika reached near him, her body froze. Was destiny actually being so nice to her? Was she actually standing in front of her Shivay? It was like a dream. It was like her reward for everything that she has suffered. She could not understand how or why it happened but that moment was something she cherished. Even after everything that happened sometime ago, She could see him, she could be near him.

His eyes were still closed. She went near him with heavy steps. With a fear of touching something very fragile and precious, she carefully caressed his pale face with her soft and shivering fingers and sat beside him.
Rivers of tears starting making way out of her eyes. She was looking at him, waiting for him to open his eyes and take her in his embrace. She was tired now! She wanted to be at peace. She wanted to go away but her fate didn't let her. She was now craving to hug him, to hide in the embrace of the only person in the entire world who loved her with all his heart. Who never doubted her love, who never mistreated her, who never judged her on the basis of anything. Her love, her life... her Shivay.

Time passed and she kept sitting near him with millions of tears flowing out of her eyes. She kept looking at him with utter belief that he would wake up. He had to wake up for her and his mom. With every breath of her, she only wished for him to open his eyes. With every beat of her heart, she requested him to recover soon. And like after months of diligence and dedication a fruit finally grows out of a plant, her prayers were heard too. She felt him moving.

He opened his eyes like a small baby who flutters the eyes slowly and gradually after coming to life. A faint smile crept his lips looking at the most gorgeous face in front of him. Whereas on the other hand Annika was surprised, her heart started beating faster as if it was about to explode.

"Sh..Shivayyyyy" that's what she whispered before bursting into tears and hugging him tightly keeping her head on his chest. She minded not putting her whole weight on him but hugging him was something she could not control.

"Is this how you are welcoming me my Jhalli???!! Stop crying please" he said placing his hand on her wet cheek.
Listening "Jhalli" from him seemed like an eternity. It was as if her ears longed to hear this from him. She could not stop but cried more bitterly. Her heart was at peace now, she felt so overwhelmed that she could find no other way to express it but with tears.
He realised that the tears were still rolling. It was not that she was crying for the first time but the way she was crying today was scaring him.
"An...nika!!! See I m okay. Look at me." He said a bit seriously this time.

She held her face up and looked into his eyes. The tears were not usual. Her eyes were speaking stories. She was not fine. He could see she was not.
"Annika! What is wrong? What happened?" Shivay asked holding her hand.

For some seconds she just forgot that he was in the hospital. The way he was concerned for her made her feel as if she was the one who was in the hospital. This was the thing about this man which didn't let her go away from him. His undying love and care for her always made her weak as well as gave her strength. What did she even do in her life to deserve this gem.

"I m fine..Shivay. Just could not hold back my tears anymore. I thought I lost you. I was scared" she said sitting straight and wiping her tears.

"You can't lie, I know there is something. Tell me love" he said looking non convinced. Annika placed her hand on his and said,
"Trust me Shivay, Everything is fine. How can you expect me to be alright when you were not. Now that you are fine, I will be fine too" Annika tried to convince him.

Shivay looked at her with utter love. Although her eyes were looking so tired, full of tears and puffy but they seemed to him the most beautiful and honest pair of eyes. He held her hand and smiled at her, she smiled back followed by a loving eye lock.

"Shivay! My baby...thank god you are fine. Do you even realise how scared and worried I was. I am so happy my darling" he heard Sheetal coming inside with a lot of excitement on her face and tearful eyes.

Precap : Shivay is not normal.
