Recap: Ishwar and Jerry arrive at France with Anika, Nancy and Lilly

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

Lilly was scrolling through her mobile waiting at the dining for others to join for dinner. Anika and Nancy came out of Nancy's room holding hands and Anika was swaying their hands back and forth. Nancy stopped in tracks once she saw Lilly at the dining table. She pulled Anika with her and sat on the couch waiting for Ishwar and Jerry to come out of the study. Once she heard the sound of the door opening Nancy pulled Anika with her and walked to the dining.

Nan: Ana, do you remember what I said ?

Ani: hmm, yes..I will do don't worry. If you ask me again the same question then I will not do.

Nan: Fine, I wont ask. Now come lets go and start our play.

Anika left Nancy's hand and sat on the head chair with her legs folded and Nancy sat two seats away from her leaving them for Jerry and Ishwar. Lilly saw Anika rotating her plate and the maids standing watching her.

Lil: I was told that head chair is specially reserved for boss and no one is allowed in it and where is your manners now or cat caught your tongue ?

Maid: Madam you are a guest but she is wife of our boss and we don't have rights to stop her. She owns everything here.

Lil: Still, if no one has took that seat so far other than boss then it is understood that everyone falls under that rule.

Ani: Am I not allowed to sit in this chair ? But I will sit here only else I m not eating anything. I will go back to my room.

Anika started to leave but Ishwar who entered the dining right in time saw Anika walking away sulking. He caught her wrist and stopped her but she pouted yanking her hand from him.

Ish: What happened snowflake . where are you going without having dinner ?

Ani: I m angry and I will not eat. Leave me I m going to my room.

Ish: what happened to my baby ? Why do you refuse to eat ?

Nancy explained whatever happened and Ishwar pulled Anika and made her sit on the head chair. He knelt before her and kissed her knuckles holding her hands in his.

Ish: Did you forget that you are my queen and have every rights to order around or do anything you wished to ?

Anika blinked to whatever he said and stayed quite as if her mind didn't want to convey that she remembered what he said.

Ani: So I can sit here ?

Ish: Yes, my highness. Queen Anika can always sit wherever she wants and she can order people to work for her.

Anika giggled and raised her head flipping her hair.

Ani: Good, now I m the queen and I m ordering you Mr. Ishwar to serve me food. Come on do it quickly.

Ishwar chuckled and kissed her cheeks and before he proceeded to serve her. Nancy smirked on Lillys reaction looking at Ishwar and Anika. Maids served Lilly,Jerry and Nancy as they continued to eat.

Jer: Looks like your plan has succeeded ?

Nan: Not completely, a lot more to come. Me and Anika lost everything in life and we are not losing anything more. Whatever is ours will remain ours and I will not back off or let Anika back off. You say it insecurity or obessesion or whatever shit...I don't care...She has me and I have her on first place and I will go to any extent this time for our lives. 

Before they could finish dinner Jerald received a call and signalled Ishwar who stood without completing his dinner. 

Ish: Anika, finish your dinner and take the tablets Nancy will give you. I have some work and will be back to you soon.

Ani: What if I feel sleepy ?

Ish: how about you watch cartoon or songs with Nancy and I will quickly finish my work and join you ?

Anika nodded her head and he kissed her cheeks before leaving to the study and Jerry followed  him. After dinner Nancy and Anika were in the living watching TV.

They were watching movie "Kadhal sadugudu" where they see liplock between the hero and heroine. Anika gasp and look at Nancy.

Nan: What ? I already told you that husband, wife and even who are in love will kiss each other.  Its a common thing that happens between couples. Not like you haven't kissed Ishwar.

Ani: I don't know but mama now kiss me only on forehead and cheeks.

Nan: You should question him so ask him when he comes to your room after finishing his work. Now stay here and let me get your tablets.

Anika pondered on whatever Nancy said and moved towards Ishwar's study. Lilly who came to the living saw Anika going towards Ishwar's study and tried to stop her.

Lil: Madam, boss must be busy in work so stay back in living and return to your room. He will come back after finishing his work. He may not like being disturbed.

Ani: No, I want to see him now and he had told that I can do anything I wish. So don't stop me.

Behind the huge doors of the study room, Ishwar sat looking at the man who had his hands tied his behind and he was kneeling infront of Ishwar who had a gun in his hand pointed towards him.

Jerald: Boss, he was the one who passed information about our last shipment to our rivals.

Man: Boss, please forgive me, I won't repeat this boss, please give me one chance and I will get that shipment back to you.

Ish: How funny, if I let you go, you will return to my rivals and get my shipment back to me ?

Boss: I will definitey boss. Trust me.

Ish: Do you think I m doing vegetable business here ? Bloody I lost 400 crores money because you fucking cheated me..

Ishwar kicked him and pressed his shoes on his chest and pointed his gun to shoot him but before that he heard the sound of the door knob twisting. He immediately pressed his foot on the man's throat to stop his sound and Jerald pushed the huge table to hide the man below the table.

The door opened and Anika walked in with Lilly throwing a sweet smile towards Ishwar and waved her hands to Jerald. Anika sat on Ishwar's lap with her knees to her chest and encircled her hands around his neck burying her face in his chest. Ishwar smiled kissing her hair and cocked his eyebrows to Jerald and Lilly to leave the room and hugged her.

Anika: Ishwar mama, do you really love me ?

Ishwar: I love my baby so much. Why do you ask this question now snowflake ?

Anika: Nanu said if we love someone so much then we kiss on lips but you always kiss on my forehead..pachak pachak....no kissy on lips why mama ?

Ishwar pecked her lips and hugged her tightly pressing his foot with a little more force on the man's throat when he heard his muffles.

Ishwar: Mama will kiss you only when you are a good girl and obey me. So will you be good girl ?

Anika: Yes Ishwar Mama, but what is the sound disturbing when I m speaking to you ?

Ish: Nothing, now close your eyes. I will kiss you and the sound will also stop.

Anika closed her eyes and Ishwar lifted her a little and used his other leg and kicked the man's head. He snapped his neck with a extreme force shutting his muffles forever.

Ishwar kissed her lower lips and nibbled gently while Anika smiled to his kiss.

Ishwar: Do you hear the sound now ?

Ani: No mama....you are so good. I will kiss you too.

She pecked his lips and her eyes fell on a bug in the flowers kept in the vase on the table and she tried to pick the bug from the flowers.

Ish: Don't touch it with your hand cupcake it might harm you.

He tried to prick the bug to death but Anika stopped him.

Anika: No mama, its a life and we should not harm a life. If you don't want me to touch it then tell Jerald anna to leave it in the garden. Now Promise me you will not harm any life.

Ishwar gulped hard and slowly raised his hand to place on hers but Anika dropped her hand and nuzzled into his neck.

Anika: I know you will not do Ishwar mama...I love you.

Ish: did you have the tablets ?

Anika shook as no and he carried her out of the study and saw Nancy in the living with her tablets. He got the tablets and gave them to Anika and once she gulped he carried her to their room. Jerry rushed to the study and saw the man lifeless under the table and called his men through the secret exit of the study and disposed the man's body.

Anika's words were repeating in Ishwar's mind as he patted her to sleep. Anika was lying on his chest and mumbling some incoherent words in her sleepy state.

Ishwar tried to hear her words but he could only hear only few words as "granny.....blood.....mama......"

He raked his fingers through her hair to calm down her mind and it did as she slept peacefully. He tucked Anika under the duvet and called Nancy to his room who came immediately with Jerry.

Nan: What happened bro ? Why did you call me. Do I need to stay with Ana ?

Ish: What is happening Nancy ? Why is she speaking on topics so different all of a sudden ?

Nan: And why are you treating her like a child when she is not ? 

Ish: Because she is now a child to me and why cant you see her state. She is scared of everything other than being with us.

Nan: Did you forget what the doctor said ? She is not suffering memory loss or any disease but she she needs love...your love as a husband to bring her mind to accept the reality. If you keep papering her like a child then she is going to be the same forever.

Ish: What else you expect me to do ? To advantage of her innocence is it ?

Jer: She is your wife and that doesnt mean taking advantage of her.

Nan: I spoke to doctor and he said there would be no problem in you being intimate with her. Infact that will help provoke her subconscious mind to reality. Intimacy is not just sex and I know that you know that better than me. I have seen the love in her eyes for you when you both were married.....please get that back, remove the fear from her vision. We need our Anika back and for that please stop treating her as child. Make her understand and I will speak to her. Don't you want your Anika back again ?

A drop of tear slipped from the corner of his eyes and Nancy wiped it with her thumb.

Nan: I want to see you both happy together like before. I can't just look after my life when you both are suffering like this.

Jer: Boss, she is right. The sooner the better is good for all. you might show being normal and brave infront of us but we can see your pain.

Nan: Think on what we said. Good night.

Nancy and Jerry left from there leaving Ishwar ponder over their words.
