*FLASHBACK*

"Yeh sach hai ki tu mera apna aulaad nahi hai.."

"Nikal jao iss ghar se.. Pata nahi kis gandi naali ka khoon daur raha hai tumhare andar."

"Your doubts are true.. Aapka DNA Mr.Shakti Oberoi se match nahi karta hai."

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

These thoughts were jammed up in his mind.. Not leaving a single chance to leave his mind. Even after so many months of leaving Oberoi Mansion after knowing such a big truth regarding his identity,these thoughts never cease to leave his mind.

Now,living in a 3BHK appartment with his wife,Anika,who is expecting,he devotes his time to her and to their newly formed business- Orchid Cafe and Restaurants.

After leaving Oberoi Mansion,harsh reality hit Shivaay really hard. He never knew how middle class people had to earn daily to make their ends' meet. He never knew about their daily problems and ordeals they face in their lives'.

He felt a pang of guilt inside and cursed for not thinking straight. He cursed himself for thinking so low about these middle class people. He was trapped in a maze of low thoughts regarding middle class people.

"Shiv.. Kya soch rahe hai aap?" Anika asked placing her warm hand on his shoulder.

Shivaay smiled and pulled her gently infront of him. She asked,to which he simply nodded and smiled.

Anika smiled warmly and gave him a side hug.

"Chaliye.. Kuch khaa lijiye aap.. Dawaai bhi lene paregi aapko.."

Shivaay nodded and had some snacks and medicines and then left for the Cafe. Anika smiled at his antics and thought about their life.

She sat thought on their dining table and started noting down in her diary,which was her favorite habit of spending some lonely time.

"Unhe sambhalna bohut hi mushkil thha. Ya phir yu kahu ki woh ekdum se shocked hogaye thhe. Khudke baare mein itni bari sacchai janne ke baad,woh ekdum toot se gaye thhe.. Jis naam,parivaar aur usuulo pe unka jayaaz haq thha,aaj wohi jayaaz haq najaayaz hogaya.. Sirf mujhe pata hai ki kis dard se guzre thhe.. Dil ka daura parh gaya thha unhe.. Woh bhi serious wala.. Maine toh socha thha ek pal keliye ki main Shiv ko khho dungi. Mujhe bhi strong hona parha.. Shivaay keliye.. Uss waqt se leke aaj tak main unki dhhaal banke rahi aur aage bhi rahungi. Dheere dheere se sab badalne laga.. Shivaay ne ek 3BHK appartment khareeda jahana pe hum abhi reh rahe hai.. Ek chhota business shuru kia hum dono ne taaki koi unhe kuch keh na sake.. Unki izzat ab meri izzat hai.. Aur main unki har aur be izzati bardasht nahi karsakti.."

Soon,after some months,the Cafe became really famous and was listed in the top 10 Cafe and Restaurants of India.

Shivaay became immensely popular and during this time,Anika also gave birth to their little daughter,Shaurya,who is now three months old.

Everything is successfull and the three are really happy in their lives'.

Both Shivaay and Anika are happy and consider themselves lucky to have each other as..

"HUMSAFAR.."
