Shivaay came to his room and closed the door.

"Thank god I ran from there before Om starts his questionnaire session."

      Shivaay said to himself and went towards his cupboard.

"But he was right. Why I was so adamant to remind her name?"

     He asked himself and again his heart gave an answer.

"Because you want to know her name and may be some more details also."

      He stopped in his tracks at his own thoughts but then shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the cupboard. Taking one of his T-shirt and track pant he moved towards the washroom. But stopped near the table and removing his wrist watch he kept it on the table. Then he puts his hand inside his trouser's pocket to take out his wallet and he touched something.

"What's this?"

      He pulled out his hand and then looked at his palm. There was his wallet and one gold bangle. He then recalled how he picked it up from the ground and then how he didn't give it to Mallika.

"Why I brought it here? Don't know what I was thinking that I put it in my pocket instead of giving it to Mallika."

      Shivaay said looking at that bangle. He then kept that gold bangle on the table with his wallet and went towards washroom.

      He came back after changing his clothes and then went towards the window. He stood there looking at the night view of Mumbai city. He always wondered how this city is awake 24 * 7. Roads are never empty in the Mumbai and many shops, restaurants and other services are also open at night. Many people works in night. And all these means this city don't know what is break. This city only knows how to run and chase your dreams, it knows how to indulge yourself in one or other task all the time.

"This city teaches us how to live...people here teaches us don't stop to live your life phir chahe jo bhi ho."

       He thought but on next second wondered how this thought came to his mind today only and why not before. But on next second he smiled as Annika's face came in front of his eyes. He recalled how she made him think like that. Smilingly he went to the table and took her gold bangle in his hands. He looked at it for sometime and again went back to the window with that bangle in his hands.

"If she is worried for it then?"

      He said after some moments looking at it.

"Of course she must be worried Shivaay. This is gold jewellery and anyone will be worried for it. And I heard that girls loves jewellery. So may be she also loves jewellery. Opps what if it's her favorite bangle?"

       One by one many thoughts hits his mind and he was worried now.

"Damn Shivaay why you didn't thought about it before? She must be worried for it. And I am sure she will ask Mallika now. Offo why you brought it here man? I should have given it to Mallika."

      He cursed himself.

"Alright jo hua so hua. I can't change it. But now I will give it back to Mallika as soon as possible. Then she can give it to angel."

      Shivaay said looking at that bangle and again smile crept on his lips when last sentence escaped from his mouth.

"I am also calling her Angel like Aarya.....hmmm but she is actually the one."

      He thought how she explained him and Vishal about their health, how she made Vishal smile and then how she explained things to him without even knowing his problems.

"This means she is truly an Angel."

     He smiled again remembering her and said after few moments,

"I am sorry Ms. Angel but your bangle will reach to you soon. And don't worry it's safe with me."

      Annika sat in the car and asked driver to start the car. She leaned on the headrest closing her eyes. But opened them after a minute when tears rolled down on her cheeks. She wiped them and looked at her phone for a moment and then opened gallery. She scrolled down and stopped at one particular picture. She opened that picture and again tears formed in her eyes.

"I... I am sorry."

     She said caressing that picture and continued staring at that picture with tears in her eyes. She wiped her tears when the car stopped. Turning off her phone she composed herself and went out of the car. Asking driver to park car and rest till she comes, she entered into the hospital building.

"Bhaiya....."

      Shivaay heard Rudra's voice and came back from Annika's thoughts. He immediately hide that bangle behind his back and turned to look at Rudra.

"You here?"

      Shivaay asked and Rudra came to him.

"Yeah... assignments done so thought to come and see you."

         Rudra said.

"Good good."

      Shivaay said his right hand was still at his back holding that bangle tightly.

"Again you are lost somewhere? What happened Bhaiya?"

      Rudra questioned looking at Shivaay's worried face.

"N...no I am fine Rudra."

      Shivaay said with a smile.

"Ok fine. I came here to see your hand Bhaiya. How's it now? Still paining?"

      Rudra asked and Shivaay was confused.

"Huh?? Hand???"

      He asked.

"Haa you got hurt while saving that little boy na? Chalo show it to me. I want to apply ointment again."

      Rudra ordered and asked Shivaay to forward his hand. Shivaay forwarded his left hand.

"See it's fine now."

      Shivaay said looking at his own hand.

"Bhaiya scratch is on right hand. You forgot or what?"

      Rudra said still confused about Shivaay's behavior and Shivaay looked at him.

"Woh....woh...haa.... I knew it. N don't worry...it's...it's fine. So no need of ointment and all."

      Shivaay said while stammering but Rudra was not believing in him.

"No it's not fine show me first."

      Rudra ordered but Shivaay denied to do so. Then Rudra came close to him and tried to hold Shivaay's right hand but  Shivaay moved back and his hand hits on the wall as he was standing close to one pillar. And in that process those bells on that bangle made sound. Rudra stopped and looked around.

"What's this sound? Bhaiya you heard it?"

      He asked Shivaay. Shivaay just nodded in no.

"Arre I heard it na... Aisa laga kisike ghunghroo baj rahe hai."

      Rudra said looking around trying to find out from where that sound came. Shivaay knew he will not keep quite till he find out the whole truth, so he said,

"Ohhh you are talking about that bells sound??.....it's my phone's message tone."

      Rudra looked at him shocked.

"Really?????"

"Yes....may be some new message is there. Wait let me check"

      Shivaay said and hurriedly went to his table, he took his phone in hand and dropped that bangle in the pen stand nearby. And while doing that, that bangle again made sound.

"See I heard it again."

     Rudra said and Shivaay hits his own forehead but then composing himself he came to Rudra with his phone.

"See told you. There are some messages from my employees."

      Shivaay said looking at his phone and acted like he was reading messages. Rudra was still not fully convinced.

"But Bhaiya you n that tone? How's it possible?"

     He asked still thinking about that sound. Shivaay replied on next second,

"Yeah I was thinking the same....I think by mistake I changed my message tone."

      Rudra looked at him.

"But Bhaiya....."

      Before he starts, Shivaay cutted him off.

"If your enquiry session is over go and bring some water for me."

      Rudra was still looking at him suspiciously but Shivaay forced him to go. Rudra left from there after some seconds and Shivaay ran to his table. Taking that bangle from pen stand he kept it safe in his table drawer and went back to window again. Rudra came after a minute.

"Bhaiya your water."

"Hmm"

      Shivaay took glass from him.

"Thank you."

       He said with a smile bringing that glass close to his mouth but stopped as he saw something there on the sofa and he remembered Annika's words.

"Your life gets better only when you get better"

"What happened Bhaiya?"

      Rudra asked. Shivaay just nodded in no and walked towards the sofa. Rudra turned to see what he was trying to do. When Shivaay went to sofa Rudra looked at it and saw one khakee colored packet there and he realized that packet contains Shivaay's medicines.

"What he is going to do with them now?"

      Rudra said to himself as he knows how much Shivaay hates his medicines. Many times he throws it in dustbin or just keep it in his cupboard hiding from his brothers so that they can't force him to have them. So Rudra was thinking about now what will he do with this one. Rudra looked at Shivaay again and saw he was staring at something which was on his palm. Rudra looked at his hand and saw three big capsules there. Before Rudra gets what's going on Shivaay gulped those capsules and drank water from that glass. Rudra's eyes widened n shock.  

"What....what just happened?"

      He asked himself and rubbed his eyes. Again he looked at Shivaay and saw he was drinking water. He then looked down and saw wrappers of those medicines on the floor. Rudra looked at Shivaay again for a second.

"What happened?"

      Shivaay asked him. He nodded in no.

"N.....nothing...good night."

      He said and ran out of his room before Shivaay says something.

"What's wrong with him?"

      Shivaay thought but then shrugged his shoulders. He then kept the glass down and took his phone in his hand to check emails. There was some mails from his employees asking him to check their presentations for upcoming conference once. So he went to his bed. Sitting on his bed he took his laptop from side table and opened it. He was about to press power button but stopped as he again remembered one thing which Annika said to him,

"Health is your real wealth not a piece of gold and silver."

      He smiled.

"Means she wants to say that health comes first and all other things later. Hmm so in that case I have to sleep now as I am tired and need some rest."

      He said to himself and once again he was surprised that many people said same thing to him but he didn't listen and now he himself saying this. And it's all because of that angel. He smiled  closing the laptop and keeping it back on it's place he lied down on the bed.
.
.

.
.

      Rudra came to Om's room and sat beside him on the bed. Om who was making some notes looked up after two minutes as Rudra was silent in last two minutes. He saw Rudra in deep thoughts.

"What happened to you?"

      Om asked and Rudra came out of his thoughts and looked at Om.

"Not me O. But Bhaiya....you know something is wrong...no no something is right with him."

      Rudra said and Om was confused.

"What? Wrong, right? Say it clearly Rudra."

"You know I went to Bhaiya's room and saw him lost in some serious thoughts."

     Rudra said and Om replied,

"He is always in his so called serious thoughts. What's new?"

      He said again turning his gaze to his book.

"Offo first listen the whole thing O. So I went to his room when he was thinking about something. And then he asked me to bring water for him to drink."

      Rudra said and Om again interrupted.

"So? What's wrong in it? Can't he order you to do something for him?"

"O, first listen whole thing."

        Rudra said angrily and Om acted like zipping his mouth. And Rudra continued further,

"Then when I gave him water he...he ate his medicines... And that too by his own. I didn't even asked him to eat."

      Om's eyes widened in shock.

"Realllyyyy??"

      He asked and Rudra nodded in yes.

"And that too with a big smile playing on his lips. Not a forced one when we or Neeta aunty make him eat his medicines by blackmailing him."

      Rudra said and Om started thinking.

"That's really a miracle. What happened to him in just one day? Last night also he denied to eat them."

      Om said recalling the last night's incident where Neeta aunty forcefully made him eat his medicines.

"One day?? Not one day O, just few hours. You know before going to Siddharth Bhaiya's roka he was same...asking us to stop caring for him as he is not here for forever n all."

      Rudra provided more information. And Om also remembered his behavior with Aarya and him before sometime.

"Ek minute, when I came back today he was telling story to Aarya and he was looking happy and was smiling too."

"Haa and when he came home, he was lost somewhere. And when I went to his room he was lost at first but then did this....ate medicines and all. I think something is wrong....no no right with him. And we have to find out."

      Rudra said in serious tone.

"Haa okay we will talk to him. I mean we will try to talk with him. But if he doesn't tell us anything then we have to find out about it."

        Om said thinking about all the ways to find out how these changes came into Shivaay.

.

      Annika came out of the Operation Theater with Dr. Rawat the one who called her here and assist her in the surgery. Before Annika says something to Dr. Rawat, one woman came in front of them.

"Yess?"

      Annika asked her.

"Dr. Trivedi, she is patient's wife."

      Dr. Rawat informed.

"Ohh..... Aunty don't worry he is fine now."

      Annika said keeping her hand on that lady's shoulder. That lady was surprised.

"Really??"

      Annika nodded with a smile.

"Can I meet him?"

"Not now aunty. He is unconscious. You can meet him after they shift him to the room."

        Annika said and that lady sadly smiled and held Annika's hands.

"Thank you for saving him. Sorry I forgot to say it before."

      Annika smiled.

"It's ok aunty. Now sit here till they shift him to the room and take care of him and you... Look at you, you also didn't eat anything from last some hours right?"

      Annika asked observing her face.

"Yeah...woh...I was worried for him. And I will eat now only when he is fit n fine like before. I prayed to god and said I will not eat anything till he wake up so make him fine."

      Annika made that lady sit on the one bench there.

"And what do you think if he sees you like this he will be happy? In fact he will feel bad that because of him you are not taking care of your health and then he will curse himself."

      Annika said and that lady started thinking.

"I didn't think about it."

      She said after few seconds.

"But now you know na, so eat something. You sit here I will ask someone to bring something."

      Annika said and that lady kept her hand on Annika's head.

"Tum sirf doctor nhi ho pata hai tumhe? Tum toh insaan ke Roop me bhagwaan ho. I wish you get everything which you want in your life my dear. You deserve each n everything."
     
      That lady said. And Annika sighed sadly.

"Hmm for now I just want one thing back."

      She murmured but composed herself on next second and asked that lady to sit there.

      Then she turned to Dr. Rawat and asked him to make papers so that she can sign on them before going to home. Dr. Rawat nodded and left from there. Then she went to one nurse and asked her to bring some food for that lady. That nurse agreed and Annika asked her about Dr. Sehgal. That nurse informed he is on the round and right now in the general ward. Annika nodded thanking her and turned to go to Dr. Sehgal.

"I came here now, so I will go back only after meeting Kunal uncle. Else what he will think that his Annika came but didn't even meet him."

      She thought walking towards the general ward but stopped after two three steps when she heard something. She turned and saw one doctor and other some wardboys there. They were moving one stretcher to operation theater fastly. Then she saw one old man crying holding patients hand. Annika looked on stretcher and saw one old lady there. She ran to them.

"What happened?"

      She asked to doctor who was present there.

"Don't know exactly but immergency case..... Sister call Dr. Sehgal fast."

      That doctor replied and then ordered nurse to call Dr. Sehgal. They admitted that lady in the Operation Theater.

"I will go and check till Dr. Sehgal comes."

      Annika said and that doctor looked at her confused.

"Opps sorry I am Dr. Annika Trivedi."

      That doctor's eyes widened in shock.

"The famous heart surgeon?"

      He said and Annika nodded.

"Can I go and check her?"

      She asked again.

"Yeah yeah sure."

      Annika moved towards the operation theater but that old man stood before her.

"Uncle move aside, let me see her."

      She said but that man refused.

"You are new here?"

      He asked and Annika nodded in yes.

"So stay away. And it's Dr. Sehgal's case."

      That man said sternly. Before Annika replies that doctor came to help her.

"Sir she is best doctor."

"Still this case is Dr. Sehgal's and I will not give it to her."

      That man refused again.

"Uncle try to understand na please let me go. What if we have less time?"

      Annika requested to that man and pushing him a little bit she walked to Operation Theater but stopped in her tracks when that man said,

"Don't you dare say that. Aah what can we accept by young doctors like you.....  I know what happens when new doctor comes to treat patient. They don't know anything and then end up killing them."

      Annika froze on her place when she heard that. She turned to look at that man and then his words started ringing in her ears. That doctor came to that man and asked wardboys to move that man aside.

"You go Dr. Trivedi. We can see him."

     Annika was still frozen on her place. And her whole face covered with sweat.

"Dr. Trivedi....."

      That doctor called her name again. Annika came back to her senses and looked at him.

"Huh??"

"Go patient needs you ."

      Annika looked at that old man once who was looking at her angrily and looked at Operation Theater. She took a deep breath and then went inside.

      Dr. Sehgal came there after 5 minutes.

"Dr. Trivedi is checking patient."

      That other doctor informed and Dr. Sehgal smiled.

"Annika? Arre waaah.."

      Dr. Sehgal said but that old man came to him.

"What waaahhh? Doctor ask that doctor to come out right now. I want best doctor for my wife. Not any fresher."

      That man angrily said. But before Dr. Sehgal replied they saw Annika coming out of the room. Dr. Sehgal and that man came to her.

"Annika....."

       Dr. Sehgal was about to ask something but that man cutted him off.

"Where is my wife? Is she alright?"

        Annika was silent.

"Annika what happened?"

      Dr. Sehgal asked but she was still silent.

"I asked you to not give my wife to her....now see she....."

      That man angrily said while crying but stopped as finally Annika managed to say,

"She...she is alright "

     Annika said in low voice and that man looked at her surprised. Annika then looked at Dr. Sehgal.

"Sir you just check her once. I don't think any surgery needed for now. She was just unconscious and some breathing problem is there. I wrote down the tests which needs to be done. You just see it once."

      Annika said in low voice and Dr. Sehgal nodded in yes. And that old man said,

"I am sorry doctor."

     Annika just nodded in no.

"No need uncle."

"Can I meet her?"

      When Dr. Sehgal nodded he walked towards the room. But came back after some seconds and held Annika's hands.

"I am so sorry beta. Woh....I just have one bad experience with one new fresher doctor so reacted in that way. But today you changed my thinking. Thank you."

      He said and left from there.

"No uncle I am not fresher ...that means what you said is true only."

      She murmured to herself but Dr. Sehgal heard it. He asked others to go for their work and then came to Annika.

"Annika...."

      Annika wiped her lone tear and turned to look at Dr. Sehgal with smile.

"Uncle....."

     She hugged him for a second and then moved back.

"I was about to meet you."

      She said trying to be normal. Dr. Sehgal just smiled.

"Coffee piogi? Let's go and have some coffee. Also I want to see pictures of today's ceremony."

      He asked to cheer her up. But she refused saying,

"No uncle. Chachi must be waiting for me. Koi nhi we will go on coffee date tomorrow. Waise bhi I am coming here from tomorrow for my cases right?"

"Annika already it's too late. So there is no need to come tomorrow. I will rearrange the schedule. Day after tomorrow is ok?"

    Dr. Sehgal asked her.

"No uncle. I am fine and will work from tomorrow only. You don't worry."

      Annika assured him.

"Okay fine. Go now and take rest."

      Annika nodded in yes and wishing him good night she moved towards the exit but stopped as Dr. Sehgal called her from behind.

"Yes uncle?"

      She turned and saw he was coming to her. He came near her and stood in front of her and then said,

"Annika, I know what you are thinking. Don't think too much ok? Every day is not the same and today you proved that."

      Dr. Sehgal said patting on her head. Annika looked at him for a moment and then nodded in yes.

"Can I leave now?"

      She asked now looking at the floor.

"Yeah. Go safe and take rest."

"You too uncle. You are busy from the morning na? Now you also need some rest. So you also go back to home and haa don't forget to tell aunty that I will come to meet her soon. Mom gave many things for her."

     Annika said and Dr. Sehgal smiled seeing her recovering so fast from her sad thoughts.

"Yeah sure. Go Byee"

      Annika nodded with smile and left from there. Dr. Sehgal smiled sadly as he saw her moving towards her car and then left from there.

Next day,

      Shivaay was sitting on one of the rocks at Nariman Point staring at the endless amount of water. From last night he was confused plus surprised by his own behavior. After Annika puts some sense in his brain with her words and that song, whenever he tries to do something Annika's words came to his mind and he was acting according to that only. And now he knew her each n every word was right but still he didn't able to reach to any conclusion. When tomorrow morning he was reading newspaper actually not reading just seeing, as his mind was filled with her words only. So he was seeing newspaper and by mistake he read one small article at the right column. It was about how to keep yourself calm and happy and something like that. There was one line,

'The ocean stirs the heart, inspires the imagination and brings eternal joy to the soul.'

      So he was here now from last two hours. He cancelled all his meetings and work for a day and came here. And he have to agree that he was feeling so relieved looking at those waves. And in this silent environment he again recalled all the things which Annika explained and now his mind was ready to follow what she said. But still his heart was not ready for some things so trying to appose every thing which his mind says.

       He came back from his heart-mind argument when his mobile beeped. He looked at his phone. There was one new message. He opened it and saw it was from life care hospital telling him that his appointment with new surgeon is scheduled at 11 AM tomorrow. He reread that message many times and then again turned his gaze to the endless water.

      His biggest fear was OmRu. He don't want them to live in pain if something happens to him during treatment. As they both thinks their Shivaay/Bhaiya will be fit n fine once he gets ready for the treatment but what if he don't able to make it out and results in leaving them for forever then..... He can't even imagine their condition. So that's the main reason he was saying no for treatment as he don't want to build any false hope into them.

     OmRu's faces coming in front of his eyes while thinking all this but again Annika's words started ringing in his ears which she said to Vishal.

"Vishal, just think about aunty once. She wants you to take care of your health, she wants you to do all the things which other boys do, she wants you to stay happy. And her happiness is depend on you. At least if not for you just do it for her."

      Shivaay smiled sadly looking at the waves again.

"You are right angel, for my OmRu I have to do it... but what if......"

        His chain of thoughts broke as he heard something. He looked around and saw one small family there, precisely poor family... one couple and three childrens. They all had hardly some clothes on their body. Shivaay looked at them, instead of asking money from visitiors they were busy in some other work. That man was clapping, asking all people to come to them. His wife with other two children was fixing something on the ground. Shivaay looked down and saw they were trying to fix one big wooden stick there in the ground. After fixing that they fix another one at some feet distance and then tied one rope connecting them at some high point.

      Now that man played some music on his phone and many people went there. Without his notice Shivaay also got up from the rock and went towards the crowd. He stood there with other people looking at that family. They were talking something with each other.

      Then after a minute, that man  picked smallest child of that family who was girl and put her on that rope. Now it's clear to Shivaay.

"It's acrobatics"
     
      He almost shouted but no one heard as musice was loud. May be to encourage that little girl that man played it.

      Shivaay looked up at the rope. That 3-4 year old girl was looking at her parents and they were smiling looking at her. She took one step ahead still looking at her parents and everyone started clapping. She moved towards the other end slowly slowly looking at her parents only. Once she reached at other end she smiled. Then she turned to look at others and saw they were clapping for her. Her smile grew wide and she also clapped. The look on her face was really worth watching. And Shivaay recalled Annika saying,

"The pain of the process is only temporary, but the feeling of achievement lasts forever."

      Shivaay smiled and agreed to her looking at that girl's smiling face. Now that girl came back to where she started but this time not looking at her parents and not walking slowly, she was looking at the crowd who were cheering for her and this time she actually ran towards the other end.

      Shivaay was looking at her and now he knew he got answers of his each and every question or fear. He was still looking at that girl. Now she was literally doing some moves with one big stick in her hands. Doing some dance with that sticks, some exercise and what not. And she was also shouting in happiness with the others. Finally after another 5 minutes her father came to pick her up but she asked him to move aside and jumped on the ground. All were worried but she stood on her feets and again started clapping, everyone joined her soon.

      Shivaay was looking at that girl's happy face and recalling Annika's words one by one. Finally he closed his eyes and her one sentence started ringing in his ears.

"Don't be afraid to give up the Good to go for the Great."

      Shivaay opened his eyes.

"I am not afraid anymore. I will do it. For my OmRu for Neeta aunty and for everyone who cares for me. I will do it. And it's all because if you so yes angel I am doing it for you also."

      Shivaay said to himself and came back from his thoughts when he saw that little girl's father was forwarding bowl to everyone asking them to put some money in it.

      Shivaay cam forward and puts 2000 rupee note in that man's bowl and then come to that little girl. Shivaay sat on her knees in front of her and pulled out another 2000 rupee note from his wallet and placed it on that girl's hand. That girl looked at him surprised at first but then gave back his money to him saying he already gave money to her dad. But Shivaay forcefully kept that note in her hands again and kissed her forehead.

"Thank you so much. Just like my angel you are an angel too. Thank you so much."

      Shivaay said buy that girl didn't understand anything. Shivaay smiled widely looking at her and then walked away. That girl turned and looked at Shivaay's back.

      He walked towards his car and his smile grew wide when he heard some lines of the song playing on radio at one tea stall there,

"Toofaanon ko cheer ke,
manzilon ko chheen le...

aashaayein khile dil ki,
ummeedein hase dil ki...

ab mushkil nahin kuch bhi, nahin kuchh bhi....."

Precap :-

Shivaay-"You have twin sister?"

Annika-"Jiiiii????"

Shivaay-"I asked you have twin sister?"

Annika-"No....."

Shivaay-"Then how's this possible?"

Annika-"What??"

Shivaay-"You know what, two days before I met one girl. She said one thing to me, 'Keep smiling and one day life will get tired of upsetting you.' And most surprising fact is that girl was looking exactly same as you. But you just look at yourself, about 15 minutes have been passed now but still you haven't smile at once. So it's clear that you both are not same. So there is only one possibility, that you both are twin sisters "
