Recap: Ishwar takes Anika to meet her father Alexander who later reveals all the truth.

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

Ishwar looked at Anika who cupped his face in her palms and tears in her eyes.

Ani: Why did you join my father even after knowing that he is a dangerous man and into dangerous business ?

Ish: I won't lie that I did everything unknowing to myself. I did join him knowing every details and the dangers behind the job. My name is Ishwar and there is no Vincent behind my name. It was my dream to study in abroad and I came to London for my studies. I got into friendship with wrong fellows and started to drink. Once I met with an accident and it was your father who saved me that day.

I liked the aura around him and started spending time with him after my college time. Slowly I got to know about his activities and requested him to train me too. He denied at first but later I joined his gang and started doing the business for him. 

After my college, my parents wanted to me to return home and stay with them. Uncle too wanted me to do the same but I was adamant to leave because I wanted power and money. I stay six months in London after my studies and one day I got shot on shoulder. Again your father saved me.

For a change he sent me to my parents but unfortunately my mother saw the injury on my body and my father too came to know about it. I lied to them that I was doing architect business and my enemies tried to attack me being jealous of my growth. But my father did not believe me and wanted to stop me from leaving them. 

I had already set my foot into the dark world and couldn't leave which would have only caused more troubles to uncle because I had already made my own set of enemies so I left them and returned to London. I realized their life might be in danger if anyone knew about me so your father helped me with a new identity so that my parents won't be in trouble because of me.

I came to the business as Ishwar Vincent, all my records was made clear from my original identity. My parents were safe and they never knew about my mafia side but they started  believing that I was doing just architect business and I have real enemies in business. They wanted me to leave everything and live a normal life but I couldn't. I never met them but spoke only a few times. My father is still angry on me for staying away from them and doing business at the risk of my life. 

Ani: Where are they now ?

Ish: Anika, I have lived a horrible life, I have been ruthless, I have lied to my parents, I have never been the son they wanted me to be but I love them and I love you above everything in this world. I could give my life for you. After you came into my life I have a lived a life which I never dreamt of ever. I did everything to keep you safe. I will still do so I did that the thing again to keep you safe. I had no other go.

Ani: I don't understand ? Where are your parents ?

Ish: I will tell you but before that listen to whatever I say. Do you remember the attack on your farewell day ?

Ani: Yes, Ranjani and some mafia men were.....

Anika stopped and looked at Ishwar at sudden realization.

Ish: Yes, Ranjani got hands with our rivals to kill you. Do you remember a girl named Kanmani you met on that day ?

Anik: Yes, how do you know her ?

Ish: She was arranged by me to keep you safe incase of any emergency. That day you were suppose to be kidnapped by Ranjani's men but Kanmani saved you. Whenever I had the feel of something bad to happen I would call Kanmani to stay around you to keep you safe. On the day of party we both had an omnious feel so I called up Kanmani to keep an eye on you. So when you decided to leave me Jerry informed her to take you with her.

Anika stood up raking her fingers through her hair. Ishwar stopped her holding her wrist.

Ish: She took you to my parents. My mother Radha and Father Krishnan...

Anika froze ...completely turned numb to the revealation. It took a few seconds for her to take in whatever he said. She turned to him and saw him with tears but he was already crying.

Ish: My mother and my father whom I haven't met in years were happy to receive you. Kanmani informed them about taking you there and they were ready to welcome you. They knew that sure I m the reason behind your misery or may be my business is causing problem between us. I saw the happiness in their face after many years though there was pain because of me. Kanmani sent me photos of you from there. 

Ishwar took his mobile and showed the photo of her in the yellow saree and a video were Radha was feeding Anika.

Ish: Whom else can I believe to take care of you other than my mother and father ? I did that to keep you safe Anika and nothing else. I have told you everything about me. There is nothing left that you don't know about me. 

Ishwar fell on his knees and held her hand and kissed her palm.

Ish: I m sorry snow flake....I m so sorry, I love you so much to let you go from my life. I will not force you to forgive me for everything, I can't compensate with anything for what I did to my parents but I will yearn for all your forgiveness. Give me one last chance to repent for my mistakes. Please...I m so selfish and want you with me Anika.

Anika pulled him to his feet and she sat on the couch with him next to her and wiped his tears.

Ani: I love you a lot, yes I felt hurt and broken with whatever had happened but that could not stop me from loving you. If you can do anything for me and for our love then please leave back everything and lets live a life like every others. Even we can return to village and live with them happily. Just think about our future, our kids..Will you keep hiding them too. What will they feel if they get to know about your dark life. Please...Please ...for me.

Ishwar shut her mouth with his palm and shook his head. He kissed her forehead and joined his forehead with hers.

Ish: You don't have to plead me like this Anika. I will do everything you say to me. I will leave everything as you say and I m already working on it. I know you won't wish to see me like this. I promise to leave everything and come clean for you...we will live the way you wanted us to live far from all this mafia business but I need sometime to settle everything. Things are not easy as you think snow flake. I cannot get myself just like that. There are lot of things and people to be taken care of. I need to settle them with your father's consent. I m sure he will agree for your sake. Above everything I cannot releive myself from this unless I m sure that you are safe. He is still alive and waiting for his chance to kill you. I will not let that happen.

Ani: Are you goung to kill him ?

Ish: He is the only one left out who knows about you. After him there will be no problem in our life. Trust me and let me do this one last time.

Ani: What if something happens to you ? You are all I have ?

Ish: No, not only me..you have your father, Nancy, Jerry, your Radha ma, Krishna pa, Kanmani and many more...

Ani: Yes, but you are above everyone. They all together couldn't bring the smile on my face that your presence alone can give me.

Ish: I m sorry Anika, but your husband is the most deadliest man one could see and there is one born yet to kill me. Because I have your love with me and I will do anything with one thing in my mind that my love, my Anika will be waiting for me and that will give me so much power to succeed in anything or anyone. Trust me nothing will happen to me. I will be back to you safe and then we will have babies. I will make myself perfect for our children to feel proud of me...I will do anything for your love..

Ani: I m scared mama....

Ish: Say again .....

Ani: Mama...

He hugged her and she reciprocated the hug as he kissed her temples.

Ish: I waited for so many days to hear this from your mouth. I missed you so much baby..I fucking missed you so much. I missed your touch, missed your kiss, you hugs, your innocent talks, your rantings, your clumsiness everything I missed so much.

Ani: I missed you a lot...everything reminded me of you there... Not bad they too acted well but they took care of me like their own daughter.

Ish: you are their daughter Anika. And sure I have to endure some beatings from my father for the trouble I caused to you.

Ani: Lets not tell them anything. Let it be as they believe that you are doing business and have enemies. I can't see them being hurt. Please...

Ish: Thank you...

Ani: I will talk to Kanmani and she has to answer me for palying so well but right now she has some problems with her lover so I will deal with her later.

Ish: Did you like our home there ?

Ani: I loved it but since I was missing you so much couldn't enjoy much. We will go there once everything is solved and I want to spend as much as time possible with Radha ma and Krishna pa.

Ish: As you wish mylady.

He broked the hug and kissed her lips without warning taking her by surprise and she smiled and reciprocated the kiss.
