Shivay carefully landed Anika on the ground and fell on her knees breathing heavily.
It's been 4 hours shivay is running away from the eyes of police and people. Can life be worse? He nor have a place to go nor has a person to share a word. The accusing eyes of the people while spotting him killed him a thousand times. He wondered thinking neither any of them found his pity. His trance gets broken hearing the moaning voice of Anika. Ani, he cupped her face carringly with his palm seeing her trying to open her eyes. Anika opened her eyes and frightened seeing shivay's face. She jerked his hands from her and hides behind the tree frightened making shivay's heart broke into a million pieces. Ani, he called her in a cracking voice seeing the fear in her eyes while seeing you. Ain't I deserve to get love? Shivay buried her face in his palms and sobbed his heart out.

Anika slowly peeped her head out from the tree listening to the sobbing sound of Shivay. Taking baby steps she slowly goes near shivay and stood near him staring at him crying her heart out having tears in her eyes.

Sorry, she whispered guiltily. Shivay lifted his head listening to anika's words. I'm sorry. Don't cry. She said guiltily fiddling with her fingers. I don't push you. Don't cry. She said cutely and wiped her tears with a shawl.

Shiv stop crying na. Anu is sorry. Look my shawl went damp wiping your tears. Anika pouted squeezing the shawl. Ani…
Shivay hugged Anika tightly And cried, placing his face in her shoulder. Ani sorry, I won't push you hereafter don't cry.  Anika said patting shivay's back.
Shivay shook his head hearing Anika. No Anika you are not. I am the one who should ask, sorry. Sorry Anika… I'm sorry… Because of me… It's all happened because of him. Shivay cried more feeling guilty on him. I'm the bad omen Anika. I Anika closed his mouth and shook her head negatively.
My shiv is not a bad omen. He is a superhero who has come to save me. He never does something bad and he.

I'm a murderer, Ani. Shivay said sadly cut offing Anika. Anika frowned listening shivay. No shiv, you are not a murderer. That man is a bad man. Killing bad people is not called murder, it is called vanquish. And it is not bad.
Anika said and shivay chuckled sadly.

Why are you laughing. My shiv is not a murderer. Anika frowned hitting shivay's shouter making shivay laugh again. My shiv is not. She said again and rain started to fall there.

Ani…come shivay held anika's hand and ran towards a tree followed by the puppy. Shiv. I want to drench in rain, Anika asked cutely playing her hand with rain water.
Ani, No. You will catch cold. Shivay said sternly pulling her hand inside the tree.
Shiv. Anika whinned. No baby. Shivay kissed anika's cheeks wrapping hands around her shoulder. Anika pouted and replied okay.

Shiv. Anika whispered. What baby? Shivay asked looking at her face. I'm hungry, Anika said holding her stomach. Shivay felt himself helpless listening to Anika. He looked here and there and found nothing other than two three trees that too of neem.
