Chapter 20

The next morning Shivaay was working on his laptop when Meera walked up to him with Ishaan & Pihu close behind.

"Goodmorning Meera."

"Goodmorning SSO." Meera smiled at Shivaay and then motioned for Ishaan & Piu to come forward.

"Goodmorning Bade Papa." Pihu and Ishaan greated Shivaay giving Meera a nervous look.

"Morning kids."

"Bade Papa....can you give us a ride again today?" Pihu asked.

"Cafe?" Shivaay chuckled.

"No, Mandir."

"Mandir?" Shivaay raised his eyebrows, "You two want to go to the mandir?"

"No Bade Papa, infront of the mandir there is a....chaat stand...yeah a chaat stand, we want to go there." Ishaan quickly replied saving Pihu.

"Chaat? Why suddenly?"

"Just like that Bade Papa....please can you take us ther? Our friends will meet us there so we just need a ride." Pihu said.

"Haan Ok." As Pihu & Ishaan followed Shivaay to his car, Meera gave them a thumbs up and messaged Saahil to make sure Annika was on her way.

"Thanks Bade Papa!" Ishaan & Pihu met their friends at the snack stall. Just as Shivaay was about to leave,  he heard.

"Oh...sorry sorry." Shivaay looked towards the mandir and saw Annika wlaking up the stairs. Quickly Shivaay ran up the steps towards the mandir.

"Annika..." Shivaay called out as he saw her standing right infront of him praying to god.

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

"Annika..." Annika opened her eyes and gasped as she recognized the voice. Slowly she turned and then froze in her spot as she came face to face with Shivaay who had tears in his eyes. Slowly he walked to her, and reached forward to touch her face....checking to make sure this was real. As his hand touched Annika's face, she held her breath and closed her eyes, tears spilling out.

"Annika....you are alive....I knew it....you are alive." Shivaay hugged Annika tightly. Just as Annika was about to return the hug she stopped herself and held her hands to her side.

"Where were you? I looked everywhere..."

"Mr. Oberoi leave me." Annika said trying to hide the emotions in her voice.

"Mr. Oberoi?" Once Shivaay had let go, Annika turned to leave but was held back by Shivaay. "Annika, I know you are very angry with me...and you should. It was all my mistake...Im really sorry Annika....really sorry. I found out everything....I-"

"What?" Annika asked, "You FOUND out everything? Oh! So you found out that I am innocent thats why you looked for me. If you hadnt found out then you wouldnt have looked for me."

"Nahi Annika, I didnt mean-."

"Mr. Oberoi I really dont care what you meant...Yeah but if you think a little sorry will fix everything....you are very wrong. Nothing will be fixed...not today...not ever."

"Dont say that....I know-"

"What doyou know? And what is the use?" Annika cried, "When I needed you, you trusted those fake pictures...not me. You married me by your own choice....first forcibly and secind time happily but both times were your choice ...and still you hurt me countless times, I forgave you ever time. But everything has a limit....even forgiveness."

"Annika please..."

"Mr. Shivaay Singh Oberoi, do you remember? You told me that loving me was the biggest mistake you ever made....today I am saying, loving you was the biggest mistake I ever made...and I dont repeat my mistakes"    

"You dont mean that...I know you dont. You are just angry thats why you are saying these things."

"NAngry?" Annika laughed sarcastically, "A person can only be angry with someone who is their own family....but the person who didnt trust my love, didnt trust me, cant be my family. I HATE you."

Jerking Shivaay's hands off Annika left.

O Jaana (O Beloved)

Khoya Khoya Rehta Hai (My heart is always lost)

Dil Tadap Ke Kehta Hai (It is tormented and says....)

Tu Hai Mere Jeene Ka Vaja (You are the reason I live)

Shivaay stood frozen in his place as Annika left the mandir.

Female

Dard Hai yeh saari umre Ka (This pain is for a lifetime)

Annika gets into an auto and tells him where to go.

O Jaana (O Beloved)

O Jaana (O Beloved)

Nazdik Hai Dil Ke (He is close to my heart)

Phir kyun lage milke (Then why does it seem...)

Jaise Ho Milo Door Woh (like we are miles apart)

She remembers all the happy moments with Shivaay...

Jazba Hai Anjana (This feeling is unknown)

Mushkil Hai Samjhana (Its hard to explain)

Apna Hai Ya hai Gair Woh (If he is mine or a stranger)

Ishq main adhoora sa (Incomplete in love)

Rooh main pura sa (Complete by soul)

Dard Hai yeh saari umre Ka (This pain is for a lifetime)

....and the cruel things Shivaay had said to her years ago when she left.

O Jaana (O Beloved)

Male

Nazdik Hai Dil Ke (He is close to my heart)

Phir kyun lage milke (Then why does it seem...)

Jaise Ho Milo Door Woh (like we are miles apart)

Shivaay  still in the temple stumbles back until he hits the pillar. He remembers everything he said to Annika years ago, accusing her.

Jazba Hai Anjana (This feeling is unknown)

Mushkil Hai Samjhana (Its hard to explain)

Apna Hai Ya hai Gair Woh (If he is mine or a stranger)

Sliding down to the ground, Shivaay breaks down crying.

Ishq main adhoora sa (Incomplete in love)

Rooh main pura sa (complete by soul)

Dard Hai yeh saari umre Ka (This pain is for a lifetime)

O Jaana (O Beloved)

Annika's voice echoed in Shivaay's ears "I HATE you."

"I HATE you."

"I HATE you."

"Shivaay sir..." Khanna ran upto Shivaay, "I...I just saw Annika Ma'am....But...I dont understand how is she alive? How can this happen?"

"She hates me." Shivaay mumbled not hearing a word Khanna just said.

"What sir?" Khanna finally noticed Shivaay's condition, "Sir are you ok?"

"Annika hates me...my Annika hates me. Its all my fault..." Shivaay kept repeating. Khanna finally helped Shivaay up and took him back to the car. Ishaan & Pihu had left as soon as Shivaay went into the mandir so Khanna drove Shivaay straight back to Oberoi Mansion.

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

Annika opened the door to the apartment where Neha was watching some tv on the couch.

"Di you are back? I was just-" Neha's smile dropped as she saw Annika sobbing, "Di, what happened? Why are you crying?"

Not answering Neha, Annika went straight to her room and locked the door. Neha followed behind and started knocking on the door.

"Di what happened? Say something!" Neha called through the door concerned, "You went to the mandir....did something happene there? Why are you crying like thisi? Pls tell me. Di! I'll call Saahil..."

Neha left to get her phone and call Saahil

"WHY! I had mooved on then why? Why did you have to come infront of me after 25 years. I wont let you back in my life, I will never forgive you. I hate you...I hate you alot!"

"Really Annika?" Annika lifted her head and saw a past version of herself standing in the floor length mirror .

"TDo you really hate Shivaay?" Past Annika asked.

"Yes...I hate him alot."

"Lie." Past Annika laughed, "Will you really lie to me? I am apart of you.."

"I am not lying."

"Really? Then why do you have Shivaay's pictures in that cupboard?" Past Annika pointed to the wardrobe, "Why did you keep the mangal sutra (Sacred necklace that married women wear) that Shivaay gave you so safely?"

Annika shut her eyes and covered her ears to block Past Annika's voice.

"Whether you agree or dont agree, but you still love Shivaay. Thats why seeing him after so many years affected you like this."

"No..."

"No matter what Shivaay did, you can never hate himi.....its just not possible"

"No,No..."

"Even today, you love Shivaay alot."

"No!" Annika screamed as she picked up the tv remote and threw it at the mirror shattering it and past Annika disappeared.

"Di! What was that? Are you okay? Pls answer me....what was that noise?" Neha who had come back after calling Saahil continued to bang on the door. Annika hid her face in her pillows and cried.

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

Note: And Shivika meets....of course Annika will not forgive Shivaay easily but this is Annika's Khanji ankhonwale bagadbilla....he will get her forgiveness soooner or later.
