THE NEXT MORNING

Anika wakes up first (strange na 😉😉)

She sees both the baby and Shivaay sleeping. She decides not to disturb them. She keeps the pillow on the other side and goes to washroom.

After she comes she sees the baby woke up but Shivaay is still sleeping.

Anika (in mind): thak gaye hain sayad.

Anika goes to the baby.

Anika (whispers): baby aap uth gaye ? Good morning bacche. Chalo hum ghumi ghumi kalke ayenge pool ke pass se. Tab tak Shivaay papa uth gaye honge. Usse pehele apka diaper change . Baby fresh fresh hoga na ab.

She takes her to the washroom and gives her a good playful bath.

Meanwhile Shivaay gets up and doesn't find both of them.

Shivaay: yeh dono kahan gaye ?

Shivaay: Anika Anika

Anika comes.

Anika: kya Hua ? Chilla kyun rahe hain ?

Shivaay: tum kahan thi ? Aur baby ?

Anika: main usko fresh karane me gayi thi. Dekhiye kitna cute lag rahi hai ? Ek dum khidkitod pari na ?

Shivaay : haan vaise lag toh rahi hai.

Anika: chalo baby hum pool paas jayenge aur pani se khelenge.

Anika goes with the baby to the pool and starts playing with it. She was swinging her, feeding her with feeder, dancing to her and entertaining her.

Shivaay looked at the bond they shared and adores them completely.

Shivaay goes to her.

Anika: kya Hua ? Aise kyun dekh rahe hain ?

Shivaay: cute hai..

Anika: haan ?

Shivaay: haan humara baby.

Anika: humara ?

Shivaay: haan voh matlab.. vaise tum isse itne acche se handle kaise karleti ho ?

Anika: kahan na maine ki Saahil ko bhi akele hi pala hai. Voh 2 mahine ka tha jab uski parents ki death ho gayi. Aur uski bua toh.... isliye main hi uska dhyan rakhti thi.

Shivaay: aur school ?

Anika: principal ki special permission se usse school main leke jaati thi aur aya ke paas chodti thi. Aur college jab gayi toh voh khud school ja raha tha toh problem nai hui.

Shivaay gets teary eyed listening her story but composes herself.

Shivaay: voh toh tumhara apna bhai bhi nai hai ?

Anika: voh sirf mera bhai nai hai. Mera baccha hai.

Meanwhile the baby sleeps.

Anika: are yeh toh so gayi. Main isse iske crib main sula deti hoon.

She starts leaving when,

Shivaay: Anika

Anika: hmm

Shivaay: jab tum kisi aur ke saath bura nai kar sakti, sab ka dhyan rakhti ho toh apno ka apne rishtey ka dhyan kyun nai rakha ?

Anika realises what he is saying.

Anika: baby sulake jaati hoon. Aap aa jayiye.

She goes.

Shivaay(to himself): tum sach kyun nai bol rahi ho ? Par main pata lagakar rahoonga.

He goes and freshen up.

After he comes, a servant comes to call him to the hall.

He goes there and gets shocked to see the whole family present except Anika.

Shivaay: kya hai ? Sab yahan kaise ?

Dadi: main batati hoon. Anika aja bahar.

Anika comes with the baby.

All get shocked.

ShivOmRu/RiVya: bhabhi/Anika

Anika lowers her head.

Pinky: oh my mata. Ab yeh manhoos kisse leke agayi hai ghar ? Kiska paap hai yeh ?

Shivaay: just stop it mom. Anika idhar aao.

Anika goes to them.

Jhanvi: yeh sab kya hai ?

Shakti: yeh baccha kiska hai ?

Tej: aur yeh humare ghar main kya kar raha hai ?

Pinky: withouts any doubts main bol sakti hoon ki yeh sab iss fatichar ladki ka kiya dhara hai. Ek minute kahi yeh tera baccha toh nai ? Lag raha hai 1 saal ka. Kiska paap hai yeh bol.

She literally shakes her. Tears fall from her eyes.

Shivaay: enough mom. Koi kuch nai bolega Anika ko. Aap ka jo man main aya aap bolti ja rahi hai.

Om: exactly. Yeh humara mamla hai.

Rudra: pehle hi aap bohot kuch bol aur kar chuki hain.

Gauri: aur bhojayi se puchne se pehle yeh yaad rakhiye ki yeh aap ke baiton ki kartoot hai.

Anika: Gauri!!!!

Bhavya: nai bhabhi. Gauri bhabhi sach bol rahi hai. Pinky aunty aap par blame nai daal sakti.

Dadi: toh sach bolo.

ShivOmRu tell them the truth.

All are shocked.

Pinky goes to Anika and snatches the baby.

Pinky: oh my mata. Iski aankhen toh kanji hai. Jaroor yeh mere Shivaay ki bacchi hai.

The baby starts crying when she got separated from Anika.

All try to calm her down but she doesn't stop. Finally Anika couldn't control more and went to them and took the baby.

Pinky: Teri himmat kaisi hui....

Anika: chup rahenge aap thodi dair ? Dikh nai raha ki voh ro rahi hai. Aur usse bhook lagi hai. Aap uske samne yeh chillayenge toh voh aur chid chid hogi na. Isliye please apna moon band kijiye.

All were startled to see this side of Anika.

Anika: Gauri Bhavya chalo. Ek doodh ubalo aur dusra koi bottle sterilize karo.

Gauri and Bhavya follow her.

Dadi smiles.

Jhanvi: mummyjee aap has kyun rahi hain ?

Dadi: puttar ek aurat apni bejati bardasht kar sakti hai lekin apne bacche ke liye khilafi nai. Aur Anika main mujhe ek maa dikhayi di AAJ.

All smile at her except Pinky. Even Shivaay smiles a little.

Rudra and Omkara tell them how she managed her. Shivaay also said how she woke up about 10 times the night .

In the meantime Aniriya go to Anika's room and feed her. Actually Anika was doing that.

ShivOmRu come to the room and play with her.

They all decide a lot a lot and keep the name of the baby as Shivika.

Rudra: bhaiya Shivika kyun ?

Shivaay and Anika look at each other.

Shivaay: accha naam hai. Vaise bhi Anika ko yeh naam bohot pasand hai.

Anika remembers their talk about baby.

Om: haan iska jyada dhyan toh bhabhi rakh rahi hain. Toh better unhike pasand ka naam ho.

They all call her Shivika and start playing with her.

Just then Ragini shouts in the hall for Shivaay.

All go down. Anika also goes down to see what has happened.

They all get shocked to see Ragini in a injured state.

As Shivaay goes to her, she cries and makes stories of Sidharth torturing her.

All get shocked and Shivaay takes her to his study and starts caring for her.

Anika sees this from behind the door and cries and runs back from their to her room.

Anika: kya itna pyaar karte hain Shivaay uss Ragini se ?

Bhavya and Gauri come inside.

Bhavya: bhabhi voh jhooti hai.

Anika: koun ?

Gauri: Ragini jhooti hai. Sidharth naam ka koi hai hi nai...

Anika: kya ????
