"Abhishek Rana?" Shivaay repeated the name.

"That's what there in the discharged form!" Rudy said confused also tired, everyone was tired and low, the piece of news he got from the nurse and the hospital was very new, she said her parents were discharged from that place.

"Abhishek Rana, chairman of AR Media," Om said while surfing the news about him.

"How is Bhabhi linked to him?" Rudru asked.

"The only person who could answer all our doubts would be Anika." Shivaay clarified, but deep inside, a sudden fear started to develop, what if Anika thinks he's responsible for everything that happened with her? What will he say if she questions why didn't he search for her, what will he say how did believe her to be dead? He didn't have questions about anything.

"We found their residence, they are living in Bangalore and Abhishek Rana have three kids, Agni elder one who was once in medical college around 11 years back, Avyaan, the second son, doing his business studies in New York University, and the last child, Araaha, she's in high school. Other than that, detective services couldn't gather any information, as their family is too private with their family affairs." Om read out loud to him when they already made their way toward Bangalore. It was even confusing for shivaay, but he remained patient.

"What about the child? Is there anything related to it?" Shivaay asked.

"Nothing about Agni and the baby! It's still clueless." Om repeated and he received a convincing pat from Rudy when he felt so restless. And it has been 24 hours since they started their journey nobody had time to even drink the water, all they wanted was to see Anika, even their brothers whose eyes were also searching for their Bhabhi who was like a mother figure to them. How could shivaay questioned their love for her in these 5 years? But people were right when you're in sorrow who couldn't be able to see anyone else pain but yours? That's what he did.

They took their private jet, again. This time, they are traveling to Bangalore, to meet his lost heartbeat, and the sudden thought of meeting his 4 years 8-month-old daughter crossed his mind, she would have started to crawl, walk and speak. There would even be a possibility of asking about her father, what would have Anika answered her questions, what would be her name? how would she look like, she would go by Anika or him? Would she start going to school? And he missed so much, why fate always tests his love for her?

"Are you okay, Bhaiya?" Rudru asked. He simply nodded no while resting his head back on the seat and closed his eyes, tears crossed. Soon he felt his two brothers' arms around him. They didn't speak anything, in fact, they didn't have any words.

Seven hours of wait came to an end when their jet landed in Bangalore. The city where his wife lives, and where his child lives, promising to end all their miseries, he got into the car which headed straight to Abhishek Rana's residence. It was a quite far journey, every second passed too late.

"Yes, we are on the way to her house!" Om answered the phone, it was Gauri and Bhavya who was equally tensed and feeling the same as them. Shivaay could feel the tense tone of Gauri.

"Shivaay, Gauri wants to speak to you!" Om said to him, he didn't wait a moment but took the phone from him when the thought of her condition crossed his mind.

"Gauri..." He called her name.

"Barebhaiya, it would be alright! Have trust in God! I will tell the baby, you are having an elder sister also to welcome you to the world. Please come back soon, with our lost happiness." She said in an emotional tone. He must agree, her words relaxed his heart, the phone was automatically disconnected since there was a weak signal and eventually they reached Abhishek Rana's residence.

It was a huge mansion and it looked like they set up the mansion on a small mountain they were steps and garden sidewards to reach the main door, and their cars were parked before the security gates, and it was locked. There were too many surveillance cameras. When they approached the gate, soon the security arrives.

"We are here to see Anika!" Shivaay bluntly said what was going on in his mind.

"Excuse me! There's nobody named Anika who lives here!" He replied in a confused tone.

"No. We are here to see Agni Rana and her daughter." Rudy clarified for him.

"Agni Ma'am! Did she call her? She never meets anyone currently. Who are you to her?" He asked them in a bit rude tone. If it was a normal time, they would have argued with him. But then, there was no energy left with anyone. Shivaay quickly surfed his gallery and showed him pictures of him and Anika together to him. He gasped a little and was shocked to see them together.

"Look I know her. I am not any random stranger, I desperately need to see her." Shivaay asked him in a trembling tone.

"Please wait, Sir! Let me confirm with our boss, if we let you in without asking him, we will lose our jobs." Security said before he could make a call, they got a call from the boss.

"Boss." He said and spoke something in their language, his face went low and he turned to him.

"Sorry sir, But the boss didn't want to allow you inside, in fact, he's not even at home, he's in Singapur for some official work. He asked you to come back after two days to meet him whenever he's back. For now, please leave." Security said which was shocking, Rudy started to argue with him. But Shivaay couldn't wait, before anyone predict, he jumped to the iron gate and started climbing, and jumped to the other side.

"BHAIYA," Rudy called him, And Om was startled by his behaviour. But Shivaay ran towards the gate only to get chased by two dogs. Two husky dogs which were almost half of his height, infact, more than half, chased him down by biting his leg and he lost his balance while climbing the steps, he rolled down and got hit by the stone next to him, and the image before his eyes started to blur. The last thing he saw was his brother's blurred image.

"Mumma?" Roshini questioned her mom again who was lost looking at the picture of the random stranger whom her daughter clicked a selfie with. Agni turned to her with a cold face and nodded no.

"Mumma look at him. We both look the same, we have the same to same eyes." Roshini asked her.

"There are many people on the earth who were born with these cute eyes." She replied. Roshni looked disappointed.

"Baby! I know you want to see your daddy! You want to know about your daddy! But. For now, you didn't get to the age where I could explain everything." Agni replied.

"But mama, everyone has daddy!" Roshni questioned her.

"But nobody has an angel like you in their life. Okay, let me tell you a story." Agni said and held her daughter to her lap and hugged her back.

"Before some years, mama was in some place, a very terrible place, there were no windows, and wherever I see, I could see only darkness. It was too dark, horror, and mama cried every day. But one fine night, when mama faced those again, mama felt a kick in her stomach." She said, Roshni, looked at her upside down.

"Who was that?" She asked.

"It was an angel which was growing in mama's tummy! And my angel started communicating with me, she said, "Mama, don't worry, it's just for a few days, once I come, I will turn all your sorrows into happiness and all your tears into smiles and laughter." Agni said.

"Who was that Mumma?" Roshni asked.

"It was you, My Angel! You didn't just say, you made it happen, I am happy because of you, I am smiling because of you, You are my angel." Anika replied and kissed her cheek.

"Hereafter if anyone asks about your father, just say, I am my mommy's angel. They will never ask any other questions." Agni said to her. Roshni turned towards her.

"I love you, Mama," Roshni said and hugged her tight.

"Ms. Agni Rana!" There was a voice. And Agni knew whose voice was that, even her daughter.

"Mama..." Roshni immediately hugged her and hid her face in her chest. Agni stood up from the place while holding her daughter.

"Dad!" She called the grey-haired man before her with the same expression, cold. While Abhishek Rana looked at her with a questioning look.
