Recap: Jerry and Nancy are married but later Granny and Nancy's father are dead.

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

Ishwar was in the lawn looking at the dead body of the man who was behind all the myseries they were suffering. His vision was red all due to anger and tears. 

Jer: Entire place is still sealed boss. None had left the place including the priest.

Ish: Who is he ? Did you get the details ?

Jer: One hour boss we will get his history.

Ish: Announce that your marriage didn't happen because Nancy's father died of heart attack. Arrange for the funeral of granny and Nancy's father. Let us get them rested in our place. Inform the priest what he is supposed to do. Clear of everything that happened today. Feed this bastard's dead body to vultures or sharks.

Jerry cleared all the CCTV footages and collected the camera from the person who recorded his wedding. Priest was informed to keep everything a secret which he understood and decided not to interfere and get into problem by interfering intheir personal problems.

Later Jerry got the details of the man who was killed and moved to Ishwar who was in the room with Anika.

Jer: Boss we got the details of the man. He is brother of Manoj.

Ish: Manoj ?

Jer: Manoj is the only gangster who is successfully doing his works without getting caught with police. Recently getting involved with underground world. Should be Valery who got him involved to get Anika through Nancy's father.

Ish: Get him to our place. He shouldn't see the sunrise.

They got interuppted by the doctor.

Doc: Sir, we need to shift your wife to hospital, she is not responding and her vitals are still not settled.

Ish: What the fuck ???? Jerry get the car now..

Ishwar picked Anika in bridal style and rushed to the car followed by Nancy. Jerry drove the car to the hospital which was owned by Ishwar. He had called his men to escort the place and when they reached Anika was taken to the ICU immediately. Ishwar waited outside the room with Jerry and Nancy.

After an hour doctor came out and Ishwar was restless to know about Anika.

Doc:  Her BP is not returning to normal. Looks like her stress level is extremely high and she has experienced a panic attack so we have medicated her. Most of the cases it would help the patient to relax after a long sleep. There is no danger but we are worried about her stress level. Let her sleep and you can look after any work if you. I can understand the situation you are in now.

Ishwar nodded and moved inside the ICU and saw Anika sleeping. The monitor beeping with the alert of high BP. He took her hand and kissed her knuckles. Jerry entered inside and called Ishwar who exited the ICU.

Jer: We got Manoj in our place.

Nan: Who is he ?

Jer: Brother of the bastard who caused us pain and loss today.

Nan: I will stay with Ana, you both go and take care of him. 

Ish: Jerry stay back and take care of Anika and Nancy. It will only be good if I go to handle him. Call me if Anika is awake before my return.

Ishwar took the car keys and two of the guards followed him. Jerry sat next to Nancy and she leaned on his shoulder crying her heart out. He couldnt control his tears looking at her state. He wrapped his hand around her shoulder and kissed her hair.

Jer: I m sorry Nancy..Please forgive me...I could not keep my words..I couldnot save granny and your father..Sorry for giving you the worst memories and spoiling our special day. I m so sorry.

Nan: Not your fault Jerry..It was written in mine and Ana's fate that we are not lucky to be happy for a long time and this has to happen and spoil all our happiness.

Jer: shhhh sorry baby..please... we will get over this...

Nan: Granny and appa....

Jer: Boss has ordered to arrange their funeral in one of our places tomorrow morning. By the time Anika should be awake.

Ishwar reached his place and his gaurds opened the door revealing Manoj lying on the floor with a cloth stuffed in his mouth. Ishwar sighed his men to remove the cloth which they did immediately.

Ish: though I know the mother fucker who sent you, I want to hear it from your fucking mouth...Tell me who sent you and what was the entire plan ?

Manoj: Sir, someone from france spoke to me. They gave me money and promised to get me job in underground and make me a powerful don in India. I agreed to do their job. They wanted me to kidnap the girl Anika and gave details of the old man. We followed him and saw him buying gifts for his daughters marriage. It was all the plan of that man from france. I sent by brother who is skilled in kidnapping.

Ish: Do you know whom did you try to kidnap and what damages you got to me ? But don't worry you need not know those details but the one sent must sure know and he will know that.

Manoj: Sir, please leave me. I will never come across your path ever again.

Ish: Thats too late you fucker.

Ishwar kicked him on his face and got the axe from his men and chopped his hands

Ish: You should have double checked before messing with me.

Ishwar put his one knee on his stomach and made cuts on his thighs.

Ish: How dare you made my girls cry out of pain ? My girl is unconscious because of you bastard.

Ish: No one dares to enter my empire now await in hell for the one who sent you.

He started slaughtering his body and the blood splashed all around the place. Ishwar's face and body was completely drenched in blood. He roared at top of his lungs and beheaded Manoj and stood throwing the axe on the floor. All his guards gulped looking at Ishwar who looked like a complete demon.

Ishwar entered his room and stood under the shower staring at the blood draining out. He punched on the wall reminiscing the events took place. Anika's pale face made him bath quickly and got ready in a track pant and Tee. He drove back to the hospital and saw Nancy asleep on Jerrys lap. Jerry tried to get up but Ishwar stopped him and entered the ICU and saw Anika was still in her sleep.

Anika stirred in her sleep and her forehead creased like she was having a nightmare. The monitors blared indicating her rise in BP. Ishwar panicked and shouted calling for the doctor and pressed the call bell. Jerry and Nancy heard Ishwar's scream and rushed inside. By the time doctors arrived and checked Ana who woke up trembling. She saw the surroundings and started screaming and pulling out the lines from her nerves.

Ishwar went next to her and tried to hug her but she had her eyes shut and pushed everyone screaming in fear.

Ish: Anika......open your eyes..Its me....just open your eyes look at me Anika....

Anika opened her eyes and saw Ishwar and froze looking at him without any reaction.

Ish: Anika...mama unkooda dhan ma irukken ....( I m with you ..) You are fine and safe with me...

He kissed her forehead and tried to cup her cheeks but before that doctors injected her and she closed her eyes and leaned on his chest. Ishwar sobbed holding her in his embrace. He wiped his tears and looked at doctors.

Doc: Sir, she is not ready to face the reality. The events has taken a toll on her mental health. Stay by her side and keep speaking to her. Once she is awake she must be able to accept whatever has happened and she must feel safe.

Once the doctors left Ishwar kept talking to her about all the time they spent together. Jerry took Nancy to a room and gave her juice and tucked her in bed to sleep for sometime. He sat next to her and patted her sometime until she fell asleep.

After two hours Anika woke up and saw Ishwar smiling at her. She too smiled widely at him. Ishwar felt relaxed to see her smile. Anika quickly moved to Ishwar and hugged him tightly which brought a smile on his face. He caressed her hair and kissed her temples.

Ish: I love you Anika....

Anika giggled hearing him and immediately pulled back from the hug and pouted at him.

Ani: Mama, you won't leave me right ? 

Ish: Yes baby, I wont leave you.

Ani: Mama, please don't go anywhere else that bad man will come back. 

Ish: I m not going anywhere and dont worry he won't come back anytime.

Ani: Good mama, where is granny ? She might have felt pain when she got hurt right ? What happen to you ?

She tried to check him but her attitude and behaviour was very different. She was smiling but her eyes reflected fear in them. Ishwar cupped her face and made her look at him.

Ish: Anika....love stay calm and listen to me ok...granny.....

Ani: Mama I m hungry..get me chocky...please.Promise I will share with Nanu..

She sat on his lap and wound her hand around his neck and rested her cheeks on his chest playing with his hair and humming something in a very low voice.

Ish: Anika..ly down on the bed..I will go and get chocolates for you.

Ani: Noooo. you said you won't leave me...dont go mama...please..please...I will be a good girl and do whatever you say but please don't leave me alone mama...

She started crying and wiping the tears with the back of her hand. Ishwar froze looking at her. He pulled out his mobile and called Jerry to enter the ICU with doctor.

Anika was dangling her legs sitting on Ishwar's lap and her fingers was circling the button on his Tee. 

Ish: Anika, shall I get you food, you must be hungry ..

Ani: No mama don't go...I m not hungry....

Ish: Fine I m not going. Atleast get your dress changed.

Anika smelled herself and closed her nose giggling at him.

Ani: yuck, I m stinking...but you will leave me if I go to change the dress so better you change my dress but no bad touch. Nanu solli irukka bad touch panna koodadhu nu. ( Nanu has said there should be no bad touch )

Ish: Fine, I will change with no bad touch.

Ishwar looked at doctors, Jerry and Nancy who were shocked to see Ana's behaviour. Doctor came forward with a smile but looking at him Anika started trembling and buried her face in Ishwar's chest and started crying.

Ish: shhhh, Anika..see he is doctor and is here just to check you. Please baby look at him.

Ani: No mama, I dont want injection. Please take me home.. I will not ask for chocolates too..Please tell him not to give injection.

Doctor nodded and left the room and sent Jerry with a glass of juice mixed with medicines for Anika. Jerry came to Anika and touched her hair and she smiled at him.

Jer: Ana, shall we all play rock paper scissors ?

Ani: Only if mama comes with us to play.

Ish: I will also play with you but you need to drink this juice first. Look at Nancy she is also drinking juice. Now be a good girl and drink the juice.

He kissed her forehead and made her drink the juice. As soon she drank the juice she felt her eyelids heavy and slept due to the effects of the medicine.
