*India*
*Hospital A*

The regular beeping of the vital machines was the only sound that echoed through the empty hospital cabin. The regular rise and fall of her chest showed that she is breathing and alive and with him. Two heart monitor indicated that they are with him and not going to leave him ever. He was sitting beside her holding her pale weak hand. His grip tightened and he placed a soft kiss on her knuckles. The doctor had informed him that she wouldn't wake up before tomorrow morning. Now that they were fine, he could sleep in peace but he cant do that yet. He needs to find out who is responsible behind this because for sure Bhavya would never do such a thing deliberately. Is it possible that Roop........ No he is thinking wrong. She was so happy with the news but why cant be behind this....... If She can plan to trap Shivaay and kill him , Bhabi and Priyanka then she can do anything. Or probably Mr. Oberoi........ This is so much for him to think. And most alarming is Bhavya's condition. What is wrong with her? Why was she behaving like that? He should talk with Rudra regarding it. Wait when was the last time, he had a proper conversation with Rudra? He sighed thinking all these and closed his eyes in guilt. He is so messed up...... so so messed up.

Om(looks at her and whispers): I have messed up everything. I couldn't keep up to the duties of the elder brother, the elder son and husband. Shivaay was so perfect in everything. He was the best in everything and Im not even 1% like him. Technically, I should look after the family, you and Rudra, Bhavya, Dadi and Mom but.........(sighed) I'm so messed up. Please help me out of it. Please, be with me and help me sort out everything....... please.

He leaned on her hand and let his tears flow down silently. Unaware of the lean old figure that was listening to everything from the door silently.

Bhavya went into depression just after Shivaay Anika and Priyanka's death. She held herself responsible for it. She thinks that if she would have come early and said everything before they had left the mansion then........ Then Gauri left making her more guilty because she thought that Gauri left because of her. Then your indifferent behaviour And your disgusting acts made her loose that last string of her hope. But she still tried to live...... Live for that little boy who everyone had forgotten....... Sahil......

Rudra(confused): Sahil? Anika bhabi's brother?
Jhanvi(angry): You have lost the right to call Anika as your bhabi.
Rudra: Mom.......
Jhanvi(shows her hand): Don't....... don't call me that........ You have lost the right.
Rudra(falls on his knees): Mom, please say like this. Im already in a huge guilt please dont increase my guilt more....... Please.....(Holds her feet)
Jhanvi(turns her face away): Who am I to forgive you? I have already got the punishment of my deeds. You cant bring back Shivaay, Anika and Priyanka but you can at least bring your wife back. If only she forgives you then only I will forgive you.
Rudra: Yes Mom. I will do everything...... everything possible to gain Bhavyas forgiveness.
Jhanvi(moves away): Better......
Rudra: At least tell me how did you get your voice back and what were you telling about Sahil?

She looked at him for sometime and went and sat on the benches of the waiting room. He took that as a cue and sat beside her. She went back to the time from where it all started.

*Berlin*
*Hospital*

The happiness of being a father came crashing down over him like a wave of the ocean. He looked around the hospital room to search him.

Ishana: Dont worry Bhaiya. Champ is absolutely fine. Since he is born before time, he is under observation and kept in the incubator.

Shivaay(stammers): Can..... can I see him?

Ishana(smiles): Sure. Till then we will shift bhabi to her room.

Shivaay(looks at Anika): When will she get up?

Ishana: Not before morning. It was very tiring and draining for her. At one point I thought.......

Shivaay: She cannot leave me and go because jab Shivaay zinda hai toh Anika kaise jaa sakti hai. Hai naa?

His voice was so soft as if he would wake her up. Ishana just looked at them with admiration. She also wants to have a life partner like Shivaay who will keep her like a queen of his heart.

Ishana: Bhaiya...... We need to leave now. Don't you want to see Champ?

Shivaay(still looking at Anika): No..... Anika has the first right to see our son. When she wakes up, we will see him together. (To Anika very softly) Jaan...... You take rest. I will be back.

He kissed her forehead lovingly and left the room.

*Outside the room*

As soon as he stepped out everyone covered him. He just smiled lightly.

Shivaay: Anika's prince.......

Everyone: And Anika?

Shivaay: She is with me.......with us....... She cannot leave me....... Never......

Few tears escaped his eyes thinking about the few moments when he thought he thought that he has lost her. Someone wiped his cheeks making him close his eyes.

Nani: Sab thik hai puttar.......... Sab thik hai........

He nodded his head slowly.

Priyanka: Bhaiya...... Did you see the baby?

Shivaay(nodding his head): No....... until Anika wakes up I wont......

Nani: But why puttar? He is your child also.

Shivaay(holds her hands): Don't take me wrong Nani. I just want Anika to be the first one to see our son. She is His mother and she has the first right to see him before me. She has taken so much pain and even risked her life for him. That is why I think more than me she should be the one seeing him first.

Everyone smiled hearing him. Ishana came to them and informed that Anika has been shifted to the room. Everyone except Shivaay and Khanna went to see her. Shivaay was sitting on the waiting chairs with his eyes closed and head leaned back on the wall. His shoulders drooped and face cleared showed his tiredness and the emotional turmoil he went through.

Shivaay: Why are you standing here Khanna? Go and meet your sister

Khanna: How can I go when I havent fulfilled my promise?

Shivaay(opens his eyes and looks at him): Sahil?

Khanna: Yes Sir.

Shivaay: Where is he? When is he coming?

Khanna: I will be leaving now to bring him. I.... I was just waiting for Anika maam to be fine.

Shivaay: Don't go alone. Take Mishra along with you.

Khanna: But....

Shivaay(tired voice): Don't force me to shout on you now. Just follow me once without questioning me.

Khanna: I was just asking how should I bring Sahil? He won't come just like that.

Shivaay(looks at him with bored face): Khanna..... where did you leave you brain today?

Khanna(confused): No where Sir.

Shivaay: Then why are you asking such silly questions to me? You very well know what and how to do it. Now just leave and come back before Anika wakes up.

Khanna(sees him): Sir.... you need rest. Should I drop you.....

Shivaay(closed eyes and firm voice): Khanna..... just do your work and I want the results fast. Now.

Nodding his head, Khanna went leaving Shivaay alone, who was drowned in his own thoughts about...... Well I guess we dont need to think about whom.

*India*
*Hospital A*

Jhanvi: When all of you were busy in your own world, Bhavya was the only one who was with me and Mummyji. I was not angry when Gauri left us because somewhere I knew that whatever she was doing was right. I didnt have the right to stop her after whatever her sister has faced. Bhavya took over the responsibility of the house, regularly took me to various doctors for my treatment, stayed beside Mummyji while night. When you started showing your indifferent behaviour and started ignoring her, insulting her she just lost herself. I still remember that day when she had first come to know about your affairs..... Believe me for the first time I had seen that Bhavya, which I guess no one had ever seen. Her empty eyes and blank look..... I can never forget that image. But still she survived with only one hope......

Rudra(whisper): Sahil.....

Jhanvi(nodding her head as yes): Sahil...... Anika and Gauri's brother and a letter.

Rudra(confused): Letter?

Jhanvi(chuckled dryly): Yes letter and you wont believe who wrote.

Rudra: Who?

Jhanvi: Anika.....

Rudra(shocked): What?

Jhanvi(chuckled dryly): Strange right? Not only her..... Anika had written 6 letters which no one knows.

Rudra: That means, Bhabi had written letters for everyone?

Jhanvi: No..... She wrote it only for Chanda, Gauri, Bhavya, Sahil, Me and Mummyji. And if I'm standing now it is just because of Bhavya and Anika.

Rudra: But..... why would Bhabi letters?

Jhanvi: Because she knew that she was going to leave us forever.

Rudra(shocked): What? I don't understand anything.

Jhanvi: I also don't know. But I know if Bhavya is alive today then it because of Sahil and Anika and if she is thinking of giving you today then Im sure it is because of Anika.

Rudra: What is with Sahil? And where is he?

Jhanvi: Sahil had been left alone but he was never alone. Anika made sure that he got the best education. He was studying in the boarding school outside Mumbai and moreover she wanted him to be away from all the scandals regarding Shivaay. Gauri never thought about him and Anika never made him feel that Gauri is being ignorant. When Anika died..... Gauri still didn't think about him. So Bhavya took up his responsibility. Her escape was Sahil. But that did not last long. A year ago ,Bhavya went to bring Sahil from his hostel for holidays because he was persisting. He actually wanted to meet Anika and Shivaay. He never got to know about their death because Bhavya very effectively used to hire people to speak to him in Anika's voice. But that day when they were returning was Their death anniversary and Sahil got to about it. He didn't take the news well and met with an accident making him slip into coma for a year and Bhavya more guilty.

Rudra(shocked): So much happened and no one said me about it.

Jhanvi(taunting): If you will come back home then only will you come to know about the miseries of your wife.

Rudra: Where is Sahil now?

She looked at him and said about the hospital.

*Sahil's side*
*Hospital B*

Nurse: Sahil baba, please have your dinner.

Sahil: Thank you aunty.

Nurse: Oh my poor child. You know the moment you were brought to this hospital I am with you. You remind of my child that I just couldnt keep myself away from you. Today I am so happy that you are absolutely fine but..... (wipes her tears) you will also leave me like him.

Sahil(becomes sad): Please don't cry. I'm sorry.

Nurse: Why are you sorry my child? It is not your fault. My son died of cancer but the time he lived he has given me enough memories to cherish. And I am very happy that you will be with your family soon.

Sahil(sad smile): Family? I don't even know whether they are alive or not.

Nurse(confused): Alive? What do you mean?

Sahil: You know about Anika Shivaay Singh Oberoi and Shivaay Singh Oberoi?

Nurse: Of course..... God, they were such an adorable couple. Don't know why God did such a thing to them.

Sahil: They were My Family....... My elder sister and her husband...... My only family.

Nurse(shocked): What? But then...... Mrs. Bhavya Oberoi?

Sahil(sad smile): She was just taking care of me in the absence of my sister. I don't have any relation with her or that family. (Angry voice) They killed them..... Killed them.

Nurse: Oh dear...... Don't get hyper. It is not good for your health. Here take your medicines and rest. And don't worry everything will be fine.

He smiled at her lightly and gulped the medicines. Soon he drifted to the land of clouds.

*Hospital A*

Jhanvi was still in the pages of the past recollecting the moment when she received the letter from Anika......

*FLASHBACK STARTS*

After Roop had taken over the whole property, their life weren't less than servants. They had to do literally everything in the house. Jhanvi would just see everything but she could never do anything. The shock of Their death was so much that her voice had also given up on her. She thought she is paying for the sins she had done on Shivaay and Anika. She even neglected Priyanka who wasn't less than her daughter. She sighed and tried to speak again but failed as only air passed through her lips. She was just seeing her remaining family break piece by piece and the start was from her own husband and son, who found pleasure in other women than their wives.

A voice interrupted her thoughts. She looked towards the main door to see a postman. She walked to him.

Postman: Mrs. Jhanvi Singh Oberoi?

She nodded. He handed her 2 envelopes and left. She looked at them and found that the envelopes had only one word written on each - Baadi Maa and Dadi. She turned around to check for the receivers address but found nothing. Taking those two letter, she walked back to her room. She kept aside the one with Dadi and opened the other one. And the content made her freeze.

Dear Baadi Maa,

You must be thinking why am I sending you a letter when I can directly talk to you..... Well.... maybe by the time you receive this letter, I might not be with you. Though I was never a part of the Oberoi family, still I had tried to make myself as one. When the first time we met, my relation with Shivaay was at stake because of various reasons. Before Dadi, you had accepted me as the Oberoi bahu and I will be forever grateful to you.

I know Baadi maa..... You are hurt and angry on Shivaay because he shot Baade Papa. But you only think Baadi Maa, can he ever do like that? That Shivaay, who can give his life for the family will try to kill someone and that too for property. I don't know whether you will believe me or not but I knew there was some tension between Baade papa and Shivaay. But before I can do anything, things happened which wasnt supposed to happen. Your anger, your hatred is all reasonable but please dont show this to Shivaay when he returns. He will break more. And I can't see him like that. Baadi maa you are the strongest person that I have ever come across. I know things might not be as you want but you still find a solution to it. Just like that I want you find solution to everything. I know you will surely find a way to forgive Shivaay...... Please.....

You are elder to me Baadi Maa, but still I want to tell you one thing...... Never give up.

The unwanted one of the family,
Anika

*FLASHBACK ENDS*

Since that day, Jhanvi started on her journey to make herself again. And Bhavya was always beside her in her journey.

She sighed and looked towards the ward waiting for some news.

-*-

*Berlin*
*Hospital*

Everyone had returned back home except Shivaay and Ishana. He was still outside Anikas cabin lost in his thoughts. He recalls the time when he got those letters from their cabin back in Oberoi Industry. He read all of them and was angry on Anika thinking like that. But he later realized what she might be going through without him and on top of that her illness. He thought of throwing those away but dont know why he kept them. He left delivered all of them without any address to the respective owner. When he said about this to her, she just smiled at him.

He sighed. He looked out of the large window to see the sky still dark. He cant wait for the next morning sun ray to spread its light over them. His thoughts are on various issues but currently he needs to focus on the special one. He felt his phone vibrate and picked it up.

*Phone conversation *

Shivaay: Yes Khanna.....

Khanna: Sir, the doctors aren't allowing. They are saying that until Bhavya ma'am speak to them they wont leave.

Shivaay: Give the phone to the doctor.

Khanna(scared): But Sir..... if they recognise you?

Shivaay: They won't..... Just give the phone.

Doctor: Hello...

Shivaay(changing his voice): Doctor, Mr. Saigal here. I'm the legal guardian of your patient, Sahil. Due to some emergency, I'm unable to personally come and receive him. My most trusted Men have gone to receive him. Please discharge him immediately.

Doctor: We can't just leave him like that. I need proof.

Shivaay: Just ask them they have all the documents.

Doctor: Okay Mr. Saigal. But we can't leave the patient now. He needs to be here for at least 2 more days.

Shivaay: Don't think about his health doctor. We will manage everything.

Doctor(hesitant): But......

Shivaay: I know doctor. You are very concerned about him and his health. But how can I say you this.......

Doctor(confused): What Mr. Saigal?

Shivaay: Doctor you see I have a plenty of rivals and that is the reason why this happened to Sahil and the reason why we couldn't come and meet him. His life is in danger doctor and I just can't risk his life again. Please try to understand ......

Doctor: Okay Mr. Saigal. For the safety of the patient, I'm allowing him to go but.....

Shivaay(cutting him off): Don't worry about his health. All the equipment that are required please provide them. Do whatever is necessary for him but I need his discharge now itself.

Doctor: Everything will be done.

Shivaay: Doctor..... one more request. Please don't any information regarding Sahil to anyone who comes to look for him. Especially anyone from the (venom voice) Oberois. Please it is a small request.

Doctor: Sure Mr. Saigal.

*Ends*

Shivaay (opens his palm): You always give me the strength I need. I did whatever you wanted. Now please come back to me. Please......

He tightened his hold on her bracelet and closed his eyes tightly. A tear slipped out of his eye which he didn't bother to wipe it off.

Bhaiya....

He looked towards the source of voice and found Ishana sitting beside him. She kept her hand over his fisted one.

Ishana: Bhabi is fine.

Shivaay: I know....... I know.

Ishana: Want to meet her?

Shivaay (hopeful eyes): Can I?

Ishana(nods her head): Yes. Come.

She helped him to her door and left not before saying to not disturb her. With almost no noise, he entered the room to see Her lying on the bed. His heart dropped a little seeing her condition. Silently, he sat beside her. He took her hand and intertwined with his. Her warm hands gave him the much needed peace. He moved the free hairs from her forehead and caressed her cheek lightly. She looked so dull, he concluded. But why to worry when he is there with her. He smiled lightly and spoke to her in whispers......

Shivaay(whispers): You almost gave me a heart attack, you know? And how did you think that I will be able to handle our son alone. No.... I can't..... You remember naa..... You promised me to never leave me ever then why were you giving up today so easily? Huh! How? (Eyes filled with tears) How?

His throat chocked and he wasnt able to say anything else. He was about to leave when she stopped him. He looked back at her and found her holding him back in her sleep. He wanted to free himself but thought otherwise. He again sat down beside her and just kept looking at her.

*India*
*Hospital B*

Khanna and Mishra were almost done with the paper works when a voice made them freeze. They turned towards the reception to see Rudra.

Khanna(shocked): Rudra sir here? Now what will we do?

Mishra: I'm sure he came here for Sahil baba. We need to make sure that he neither sees us nor get information regarding Sahil.

Khanna: Yes. (To nurse passing by) Nurse....

Nurse: Yes sir.

Khanna(pointing towards Rudra): You see that Man there in red suit? (She nods) Please make sure that he doesn't get any information regarding Sahil.

Nurse: But Sir.....

Khanna: Please try to understand. His life is in danger and he is one of them who is a threat to him. Please help us.

Mishra: Yes please. And as far as I know it is against hospital rules to give any information regarding any patient. Am I right?

Nurse: Don't worry Sir. I will handle it. Our hospital takes care about our patients safety and security as well as their medical and personal information.

Khanna: Thank you so much nurse.

She smiled at them and went towards Rudra. As they had expected, he stopped her to ask about Sahil. She clearly refused to share anything. But the next act made them shock. She called upon the security who pulled Rudra out of the hospital. They looked at each other with shock.

Mishra: Jaise karni waisi bharni......

Khanna: Exactly...... once he had...... (stops himself as he remembered Anika's humiliation). Past yaad karke koi faida nehi. We should leave before anyone else comes.

Agreeing with him, they went towards a sleeping Sahil. Khanna quietly without disturbing picked him up. He looked over the Nurse in charge of him and gave her a small nod. And without turning back, they walked out of the hospital.

*Hospital A*

Rudra came back helplessly. He went to check on Sahil but had to encounter failure. He recalled the way he was pushed out of the hospital. He remembered the way he had treated Anika and how he had said her to leave the house. It is rightly said KARMA IS BITCH . And now he is experiencing it back with full interest. He sighed and walked towards Bhavyas room to see commotion. He was confused and looked for Jhanvi, who was nowhere to be seen. He tried to ask a nurse but they were in a hurry. He tried to peep into the room but couldnt see anything clearly except two doctors hovering over her. He got scared seeing it.

Rudra(scared): What is wrong doctor?

Doctor: Mr. Oberoi Mrs. Oberoi is having a panic attack. Don't worry we are trying to stabilise her.

He looked at her and thought what to do. He removed Jhanvi's hand from her and intertwined his with her. He slowly caressed her hair and whispered sweet nothings in her ear to calm her down. Slowly she calmed down and slept again.

Doctor: For now it has been managed I dont know till when her body will be able to withstand this.

Rudra: What do you mean doctor?

Doctor: We have done whatever was in our hands. Now it depends upon Mrs. Oberoi.

He left the room after giving almost a shocking news.

_*_

Di.... Jiju...... Di...... No Di...... Aahhh"

Someone shouted and woke up with a jerk. He saw a nightmare and finally his accident. He wiped his sweat over his forehead and tried to calm himself down. He looked at his side and saw water. He took the glass and started drinking and stopped. He turned towards the table again and was shocked seeing a picture. He then looked around the room and found himself in an unknown place.

"Where am I?", said the teen boy. He looked around and no doubt it screamed richness and homely and most shockingly as per his taste.

"Welcome Champ....", a strong voice resonated through the room.

He gasped and looked at the figure standing by the door.....

"SSO....", he whispered.

Shivaay(smiling): Shocked?

Sahil(shocked): I.... I ....

Shivaay(sitting beside him and caressing his head): I can understand what you are going through. I know you have many many questions. But first you need to freshen up and we need to leave for the hospital.

Sahil(scared): Hospital? Why? Is Di okay?

Shivaay(smiles): More than okay. You have become Mamu champ.

Sahil(happy): Really? When? And is it a boy or a girl?

Shivaay: I can understand you are very excited and dont worry you will see them soon. Now hurry up. Elena will help you out. Okay?

Sahil nodded giving him a smile. He went out and Elena walked in.

-*-

Shivaay sighed and closed his eyes momentarily. He was tired and worned out completely. He needs Her now. He needs Her. He walked towards their room and looked at her smiling radiating face.

Shivaay: Now enough of your prank and wait. Please come back. I need you..... We need you. Please.

Few tears rolled down his eyes making him vulnerable. His phone vibrated breaking his trans.

*Phone conversation*

Shivaay: Hello....

Bhaiya.....

Shivaay(attentive): Prinku.. What happened? IS Anika fine?

Priyanka: Bhaiya.... Ishana Di is calling you to the hospital urgently.

Shivaay(scared): Why? What happened?

Priyanka: Don't know. She didn't say anything. You please come soon. I am very scared.

Shivaay: Don't worry Prinku.. I am coming just now.

*Conversation ends*

Shivaay hurriedly changed his clothes and along with Sahil left. He tried not to show his anxiousness and Sahil being the matured one also didn't ask him anything.

*Hospital*

Shivaay hurried crossed the distance between the reception and her room leaving Sahil with Khanna. He reached to see everyone waiting for him.

Shivaay(breathlessly): An..... Anika?

They indicated him to go inside. He was confused but didn't ask anything and went inside.

*Anika's cabin*

Shivaay entered and the sight in front of him made him the happiest person on the earth. His Anika was awake and was staring at their Son with love. His eyes watered seeing them. He sniffed which broke her staring session. She looked towards him and gave him her evergreen smile. She called him today's her and in no time he was beside his family. He hugged his lifelines and kissed their forehead lovingly.

Shivaay: You scared me Mrs. Mummy.

Anika: I'm sorry Mr. Papa.

Shivaay(smiles): Congratulations Mrs. Shivaay. You won. We are proud parents of a prince.

Anika: Same to you Mr. Shivaay. But I'm angry on you.

Shivaay(smiles softly): I know Jaan.

Anika(frown): Then why did you do such a thing? Don't you love Him?

Shivaay(with tears): Don't say like that Jaan. I love Him a lot. But I thought...... I thought ......

Anika: What did you think?

Shivaay: A mother always has the first right to see her child before anyone else. To feel him, to shower love on him, to welcome him in this world. Then how could you think I would snatch that right from you?

Anika(smiles and looks at him): You love me so much?

Shivaay(kissing her forehead): More than you can imagine. (Scared voice) Anika......

Anika: What happened Shiv?

Shivaay: Will He forgive me? Will He love me?

Anika(smiled): Just hold Him once, you will come to know.

Shivaay had an uncertain look on his face. He looked at her again. She nodded her head encouraging him. She taught him how to hold the baby. The moment he held Him, a sense of completeness enveloped him. He looked at the baby with admiration.

Shivaay(whispers): Hey baby..... I'm your Papa. I'm so sorry..... so sorry baby. Will you forgive your papa for what he did with you? I promise..... I promise this is the first and last time that I have ignored you and left you. I will never..... I mean never leave your side ever. Be it you or your future siblings.

He kissed His forehead lightly as if fearing that he would hurt Him. The baby smiled in his sleep making Shivaay happy.

Anika(with tears and smile): See..... I told you. He already love you and can never be angry on his papa.

Shivaay(smiles): Yes, Jaan. He loves me and I love him more.

Anika(pouts): Even more than me?

He looks towards her with amusement. He placed the baby safely on the cradle and sat beside her.

Shivaay(chuckled): Jaan.... Are you jealous of our son?

Anika(scrunched her nose): Well I should be jealous of our daughter because I know she would make you run on her little finger (showing her little finger).

Shivaay(moves closer to her): I never knew that my wife was so fast. She has already started planning our next baby. (She blushed) Well if you want we can start now itself...... (he leaned forward and was about to kiss her lips when)

"Di...... Anika didi......"

Their moment was broken by non other than Sahil. Shivaay sighed and rested his forehead on hers.

Shivaay(murmurs): Aa gaya.... Kabab me haddi......

Anika chuckled and kissed his lips quickly before pushing him away lightly. The door opened and came in everyone. Anika smiled with tears seeing Sahil. She felt a soft brush of finger over her cheek. She looked back to the Man who can do anything and everything possible for her.

Shivaay: Now these tears don't have any place in your eyes.

Anika(sniffs): But these are......

Shivaay(cutting her in the middle): Happy tears or sad tears I don't care. I don't want these precious pearls to roll down your beautiful eyes.

Anika(smiles): Fluttering much Mr. Saigal?

Shivaay(smirks): Are you getting smitten Jaan?

Anika: Do I need be? I'm already in your charms baby.

She winked at him making him chuckle. Their sweet moment was interrupted by our favourite Sahil 😅.

Sahil(annoyed): Anika Didi so many years of romance was not enough. At least for few minutes spare SSO and look at this poor brother of yours too. (He pouts)

Shivaay(murmurs): That's why I said..... Kabab me haddi.....

Anika(pushes Shivaay away a little): It's nothing like that Sahil..... Your SSO has become naughty these days. (With little tears and opens her arms ) Come here baby.... Come......

Sahil with unshed tears looked towards her. He tried to get up but was too weak to do so. Shivaay helped him and made him sit beside her. The brother-sister duo instantly evolved themselves in a warm tight hug. Sahil shed his tears which was holding back since long time. Anika tried to calm him down.

Anika(soft voice): Bas.... Sahil..... Bas..... I'm here now. I'm here with you. No one will separate us now. No one.

Sahil(complaining): But you left me.... You didn't even think about your brother. Neither Gauri didi thought about me. You have any idea what I went through hearing about yours and SSO's death. I thought I became an orphan again.(crying)

Anika(wiping his tears): No Sahil..... I..... didn't..... I didn't know that Gauri will not looks after you...... I didn't have any hopes of surviving. But (looking towards Shivaay) Your SSO saved me. He loves me so much...... so so much that he fought with death for me. He brought me back for you and for Himself.

She held his hand tightly.

Anika: I'm sorry for not being the best elder sister....... I'm sorry for not taking care of you....... I'm sorry for.......

Sahil(covers her mouth with his hand): Who said you are not the best Didi? Who said you never took care of me? Listen my Anika didi is the best. No one has the right to disgrace her. Understood? (Like a strict teacher)

Anika(chuckles): Yes Sir.

Sahil: Good. Now I want to see my nephew.

Shivaay(smiles): Come. I will show you.

He helped him and moved towards the cradle. A small cute baby was wrapped in a blue towel and only his whitish pink face was only visible. The baby moved a little and scrunched his nose and squeezed his eyes a little. He made a cute pouty face before opening his mouth and a low cry erupted. Everyone become attentive especially Shivaay. He lightly patted his chest to calm him down but didn't work.

Ishana: Bhai.... He is hungry. I will.....

Shivaay(instantly): No.... I will.....

Ishana(smiles): Okay.

He picked him up in his arms and his cries subsided. He opened his eyes which made Shivaay smiled widely.

Shivaay(smiles): He has your eyes...... He has your eyes Ani..... Your warm brown eyes......

Everyone smiled hearing it. Sahil tried to see the baby but was unable to. Shivaay saw his struggle and bent down to his height. The baby turned towards Sahil as if understanding what his father was trying to do. Everyone awed seeing it.

Sahil(overwhelmed): He is so beautiful......

Anika(chuckles): Boys are not beautiful..... I guess they are handsome.

Sahil: I know..... But he is so cute with soft cheeks and his eyes are just like you....

Everyone chuckled hearing him.

Sahil: So what is the name of SSO Junior?

Anika(chuckled): That is a surprise.....

Sahil(pouts): But.....

Shivaay: Sahil..... you are still recovering. You need ample rest.

Sahil(protesting): But I want to stay here. (Pouts)

Anika: No Sahil. You have just woken up from coma. (With tears) I can't even imagine how much you have suffered. I'm sorry Sahil.... I'm sorry.

Sahil: Not again. Didi, you are not at fault. And will never be. Okay?

She nodded her head and our Junior SSO(JSSO 😅) started crying gaining their attention.

Nani: He is just like Shivaay.

Priyanka and Ishana(amazed): Really Nani?

Anika: Really. Always trying to gain attention.

Shivaay(trying to calm the baby): Hey! I'm not like that. (Speaks in baby voice to JSSO) See baby, everyone is making fun of us. You are in my team right?

JSSO: Aagooo..... (laughs and smiles)

Shivaay: See, he loves me more and is in my team.

Everyone chulckes. Junior SSO started crying again and Shivaay placed the baby in Anika's hand softly.

Ishana: Our Junior is hungry and cranky. He wants his mother now.

Nani(smiles): We will wait outside.

Priyanka(pouts): But I want to hold him.

Ishana: After feeding I will call everyone.

Everyone nodded and went out except Shivaay.

Ishana: Bhaiya...

Shivaay: Don't even think that I am going out. I will stay here and help Anika.

Anika(blushes): But Shivaay

Shivaay(hushed voice): There is nothing that I haven't seen.

Anika(blushes): Cheapde....

He gives her a cheeky smile while Ishana chuckles listening their talks. She assists Anika how to feed the baby while Shivaay stood beside her helping her in every step.

The smile on Anika's face reflected her new glow and happiness. Seeing her baby feeding..... her entire life was just blissful. She leaned towards Shivaay and whispered....

Anika(whisper): Thank you..... Thank you so much for making me experience such a wonderful happiness. Thank you. I love you..... I love you.....

Shivaay(kissing her forehead): I love you too.....

*India*
*Hospital A*

Rudra was sitting beside Bhavya holding her hand tightly. He was crying silently.

Rudra: I'm sorry Bhavya...... Very sorry..... But please don't give me such a big punishment. Please. Come back to me..... Please.....

He rested his head on her hand and didn't realise when sleep took over him.

*1 hour later*

Rudra woke up with a start. He looked around to see him in a different room and on a bed. He tried to move when a something hold him back. He looked towards it and found Bhavya holding his hand. She looked peaceful and free of burden. She smiled lightly and sat beside him.

Bhavya: How are you Rudra?

Rudra(with tears): Bhavya..... Bhavya you are here..... You are.....

Bhavya(nods her head as no): No Rudra..... I'm not here...... I am going.... I am leaving everyone.....

Rudra(shocked): What are you saying? No can't leave........ No......

Bhavya: Then what should I do? I have nothing with me..... Nothing..... I have lost everything...... Maine sab kho diya.... Sab..... Mera naam..... Meri pehechan..... Meri khushi..... Aur.....

Rudra(with fear): Aur....?

Bhavya(looks straight into his eyes): Mera pyaar...... Toh batao mai kaise jiyu...... Kaise...... Aur kiske liye....

Rudra(cupping her face) No Bhavya.... don't say like that..... You have me.... You have everyone..... You.....

Bhavya(removes his hand): I don't have anyone......

She starts fading away slowing making him panic. He tries to catch her but she just vanishes.......

Rudra(shouting): Bhavya...... Bhavya......

"Rudra.... wake up..... Rudra....."

He woke up with a start and look at the person in front.

Rudra: Mom?

Jhavni: What happened? Why were you.....

Rudra(cutting her in between): Mom.... She is leaving me.... She.....

Jhanvi: Who is leaving you?

Rudra(with tears): Mom..... Bha..... Bhav......

"Mr. Oberoi...."

They turned towards the source of voice and found a nurse.

Nurse: Mr. Oberoi..... The patient is sinking......

A huge mountain of grief fell upon Rudra and he fell down on his knees. He could see his nightmare coming true.......

Nurse: The doctor is calling you inside.

He wasn't in a state to get up again. Jhanvi was in no less shock. Her tears rolled down involuntarily. She looked towards her miserable son. He can't let her go. No.... he can't.

Jhanvi: Rudra..... you have to be strong. Rudra you just can't let her go. Come on......

He looked towards his mother and she nodded. He stood up but stumbled. She held his firmly and encouraged him. They walked inside the cabin to see a more pale and lifeless Bhavya. He slowly went towards her and her hand.

Rudra: Doctor.......

Doctor: I'm sorry Mr. Oberoi...... Mrs. Oberoi isn't responding to any of our treatments. I guess, she has lost her reason to live. I'm afraid if she doesn't respond then.....

Rudra(emotionally): Then what doctor?

Doctor: We cannot save her...... I'm sorry Mr. Oberoi......

The screen freezes with Rudra's emotional face and Bhavya's pale face and on other side Anika and Shivaay's smiling face with their bundle of joy......

Precap:
Om(angry): I'm your husband..... And you have to listen me.....
.
.
.
.
.

Shivaay(looking at his son): He is a part of Anika and a part of me..... So his name will be......
.
.
.
.
.

Rudra(pleading on his knees): Please give me a last chance..... Please....
