Happy reading ...

" my head throb with the stung pain. As I  hit my head with the wall. It felt like someone just attacked me with the hammer. Whole world just spin around "making hard for me to stay steady... but that pain is nothing then the pain of my heart.  It's bleeding ,seeing my mother behaviour towards me. I always knew that she loves my sister more than me. But I never thought that " she loves her to this extend that she would not care about my life or anything. And would behave like ,,I'm some inhuman. Who don't have any feelings or emotions.  She is my mother.  If she gave birth to Bella. Then she did same to me as well But  like always ,,she chose to prefer her happiness over me. And it made me feel  so low in my own eyes. 

"Look here , just look at me anika. She  hold my chin in her harsh hand and make me face her.

You don't have any option anika. You have to divorce shivaay. He doesn't want you. He itself has said by his mouth.   Just here , sign these papers. And finish this namesake relationship.  She  said in firm tone tightening her grip on my chin making me cry in pain. It felt like" she has crushed my jaw with her grip.

Why are you doing this to me.  (I hiccups ). I'm your daughter as well. Think about my life. I'm Not any lifeless doll or something that, you are treating me like this. Shivaay is my husband.  He has married to me. And I don't wanna divorce him.. I cry staring at my mom with hope that might, after seeing my tears ,, she would melt. But she didn't buzz and still standing holding the divorce papers.

He was never been your husband anika. You know that and I as well. From start,, he was never been interested in you. It was all fiasco to close people mouth. Moreover ,no one knows that you are his wife. Everyone thought that under the vail,, is Bella. So don't think so much and sign it. She yet again said shoving the papers in my hands having stern face.

Your mom is right. Don't be silly anika. Think about your sister. She deserve happiness as well. You can't just ruin her life like this. Already my daughter has borne enough. Listen to your mom and sign the divorce papers. This time my father came ahead ,defending my mother and his beloved daughter. Which didn't shook me at all. As Bella was always been his favourite child.

" I'm your daughter as well. I think you guys should know that. I sniffles staring at them with red teary eyes experiencing betrayal and what not ,, seeing my parents being ruthless towards me.

Yes you are. And I promise, I will find you a good man for you. Better than shivaay. Who will love you,Cherish you. But let shivaay go. He is not yours. And never will be. Isn't jack. My mother said eyeing to my dad ,, who instantly nods his head in approval.

Fine ,, let me talk to shivaay. I wanna know that what does he want. Before they process,, whats happening. I just brushed past by them marching towards the room " where Bella has been kept.

Stop where are you going ?? My parents chase after me. But before they stop me. I'm standing in the door clenching the divorce papers in my hand. .

"Shi.... I about to call out his name ,, but it got stuck in my throat, when I saw him sitting with my sister on her hospital bed having her head on his chest caressing her hair lovingly. The love , I craved to see in his eyes from past six months. It's all visible ,,but not for me "but for my sister. He is looking so happy and cherished for being there with her. And it loosen all my hopes ,, which I'd built before few minutes.

I slowly hang my head down and turned on the same feet. I slowly walk towards a bench and sat there having the divorce papers in my hands. Which will free shivaay from this nameless marriage,  and will leave a dark support on my life for being a divorced woman. My chin quivers subsiding my sobs and signed on the papers finishing everything " which was holding me and shivaay in a relationship.

"Here it's been signed . Do whatever you wanna do with them. I shove the papers in my mum's hand and started walking outside aimlessly.

What's happening here ?? Anika stop. My mother in law sofia come running towards me and stopped me holding my elbow.

What happened ??where are you going. ?? And your face. Did they hit you?? . She widened her eyes touching my cheek. Which seems have got swollen because of the slap.

Mom ,, what are you doing there??? Dad is calling you inside. I heard my husband's ups ex husband voice from behind.

One minute shivaay. Anika what's wrong?? What happened. Why are are. injured?? And this slap?? Who have slapped you. She yet again asked the question , seems worried seeing my condition. But before I answered ,, she's been called again by shivaay making her sigh in defeat. I'll come back in a minute. Don't go anywhere ok. Saying this she left from there not before giving me a worried look.

I look at her retreating figure and left the hospital before someone else stop me to investigate about the fingers print on my face.

"Shivaay pov "

"Here is the divorce papers... anika have signed them. Now there's no one " who is between you and Bella. Susan said passing me papers as we come out from the ward "following by all the family people .

"What ??? I widen in shock not able to believe that she in actual signed the divorce papers. I take the papers in my hand and instantly darted my eyes on the signs. Which I instantly recognised by her hand writing. Probably At this time " I should be happy that she left my life without any fuss. But I don't know , why I'm feeling like , someone has squeezed my heart. I felt exasperated and angry on the same time. How can she just decide things on her own. At least she should had come to me first and then sign on them. How all of sudden , she scribbled her signatures and left. She can't just decide things on her own without consulting me. I grounded my teeth and squeezed the papers in my hand in rage.

What the hell is this Susan.  How can she break the relationship like this. My mother screams staring at my mother in law in anger.

It's done ,which was right. Shivaay didn't want to stay with her either. He always wanted Bella in his life. So now when Bella is back to life. Then why not correct what is right. She said in her subtle tone folding her arms.

But this is wrong. As per as I know " she was willing to live with shivaay. This time my brother interrupted in his desperation voice. Which actually amazed me. He never interfered in family's matters ever before. And today seeing him doing it ,that also for anika ,made me shocked.

Ok that's enough !! Cut it here. If she don't wanna live in this relationship. Then it's her choice. Moreover " In end of the day this relationship was always been namesake. She was just a REPLACEMENT of Bella. So crying over It is useless. I'm glad that she took this decision without creating a fuss about it. Let this shit get end. Saying this I snatch the pen from susan and signed them without thinking for once. If she doesn't care then ,I don't give a fuck as well. I'm glad this crap got ended smoothly. Thinking about this I finished signing and stormed away from the hospital holding my inner battle back.

.....

Third party pov...

"Shivaay left the hospital in anger. But during that he didn't notice her standing behind the wall listening him calling her replacement in his life. She had  a little hope that might, he would say no to divorce her. But he didn't  think once before signing  the divorce papers. Infect he seemed happy to do it. And why won't he ,, when after so many his prayers. Finally he is going to
Get his  love of life. His Bella. Moreover, what can she expect from him. When her own parents don't care about her. First they pursued her to marry him before six months. And now "when their daughter has woken up. They changed their mind and forced her to divorce him without caring ,how much it going to hurt her heart as well.  More than shivaay ,, she is feeling broken by her parents behaviour. How can they love one daughter more than another.  As the reality struck her ,, she sat on the floor and cry cupping her face to Not intend to create any noice. Which will put her in hard position.

"On the other side ..

Shivaay comes in his room and sat on the bed keeping hands on his head.  At this time ,,He should be happy after getting rid of her. But instead feeling excited,, he  is somewhere  experiencing emptiness and emotional. Which he shouldn't at all ,when he is in love with Bella. Whatever has happened today ,, he is finding it bit too fast. He didn't expect this day come to quickly.but as much as he is  hurting  . On the same time he is feeling angry on anika. How dare she decide things on his behalf. At least once ,she should had come to him and confront him before signing. But no!! She didn't and divorced him as she saw him with hire sister. Such a selfish and self centred woman she is.

Uncle " a cute little voice  brings him back into the reality and he instantly turned finding a  little boy standing in the door holding his teddy bear.

"Fatah" he takes his  name and immediately march towards him keeping his life problems aside.

What are you doing here buddy?? You should be at the bed at this time.  He said softly  picking him up on his arms caressing his soft cheek.

Where's Annie ?? Why she's not in my room. He sobs shedding thick tears from his beautiful brown eyes.

She .... She is not here. She went to her parents house.shivaay said caressing his fluffy cheek, trying to soothe him. But he ended up crying more after learning that his partner left to her parents house "leaving him alone like this.

Fatah baby calm down. Stop crying. If you want ,, you can sleep with me tonight. He said rubbing his back. But he seems not affected and crying more and more.

No I want Annie. Where's my Annie. He hiccups crying hysterically making shivaay feel helpless.

Baby it's too late. Try to understand. She can't come like that.

"No no no ... I want Annie I want Annie. He cry coming out from his hold forcefully and run outside carrying his toy in his hand.

Fatah " stop. Fatah listen. He run behind him to catch him. But he seems too fast witn his little legs and already reached down to the stairs calling Anika's name.

Baby stop "shivaay take a long stride and hold his elbow pulling him towards his side.

I wanna go to Annie. He hiccups having blurry eyes. In few minutes only " he has turned red because of continuous crying. Shivaay fear that because of his continuous crying would trigger his heart condition.

Ok ok ,, calm down. You wanna go to your Annie right. I'll take you to her. Is that ok with you?? As he heard his uncle " he stopped crying and wipe his tears having small muffles.

Ok " he immediately climbed in his uncle arms and point towards his car making shivaay sigh in helplessness.

Alright ... he shakes his head and got into the car to meet anika. He never thought thsh in span of few hours only ,, he will see her again. That also because of this little guy,, who seems to be in deep love with his uncle's ex wife.

On the otherside

After leaving the oberoi hospital,, instead mourning on her divorce ,, she decided to move on in her life and directly came to her work place. She didn't want herself to cry for the people ,, who don't give shit about his existence. Better if she spend her time to save someone's life instead shedding tears. Apparently " she is on the route of meeting her patients " when her phone started vibrating in her white coat.

Excuse me ,, she pass smile to an elderly woman and took out her phone. But next second she got confused,when she saw her ex husband calling her at this time. She didn't think that in few hours ,he will be calling her. She arch her brow and move her finger to answer it. But she withdrew the idea and cut the call. She about to go back to her work. But yet again " her phone started ringing.

It's ok ,, you can pick up. Might your husband need anything. The old lady said having mischief in her eyes teasing anika little. But instead " smiling on her teasing,, her mind drew back on today's fiasco. She was trying her best to forget it. But yet again "she remembered everything ;which cause her deep heart ache.

I'll pick up the call. She whispered in her cracking voice and went towards the glass window.

Where are you ?? Why were you not picking my phone??. Hearing his rude tone anika grounded her teeth and speak in equal manners.

First of all .. do not shout at me. You don't have right to talk to me like this. Second thing ,, it's none of your business that where I'm and where I not. Did you understand mr oberoi. She shout in her crisp voice making shivaay closed his eyes controlling his rage.

I want to meet you right now. Where are you. ?? He said in his calm tone instead in anger which surprised anika a bit.

Why ?? Is there anything left to do that you want to meet me. ?She sneers having sarcasm in her tone.

I'm not in mood to fight with you. Just tell me where are you??Fatah is with me. And he Is crying for you. As he said these words ,, Fatah started crying and calls her name.

Annie Annie where are you??. Why did you leave me like that. I want to meet you. He cry breaking anika's heart into pieces hearing his painful wails.

Baby what's wrong ?? Why are you still awake. you should be asleep by now. She asks in sad voice.

You know that I've habit to sleep with you . Then why did you leave Annie??. Why didn't you take me with you... he hiccups making anika worry for him. But she didn't say anything and stayed quite making shivaay understand "what she is thinking.

I wanna come to you Annie. Where are you ?? He yet again ask in his cute sad voice.

I I'm in my work place. In the hospital. As she answred , shivaay press the speed and drove away from there towards her hospital.

We are coming there Annie. Wait for us. Ok. Fatah beams leaning on his children seat feeling ecstatic to meet his Annie. Which made Shivaay shocked with his sudden change of mood. Before few minutes , same little boy was having whole world on his head. And now he seems all cheered up and happy.

Alright. Meet me in the cafeteria.. she said on the phone earning yes from Fatah.

Ok we will be there .. see you soon my sweet Annie. Bye. Saying this Fatah cut the phone and move his legs in excitement.shivaay shakes his head and continue driving keeping his arm on the car window.

After sometime

You want something.?? A juice or milk ?? Shivaay asked Fatah ,, who seems not interested in his questions and tucking his eyes on the entrance.

Annie is here ... he immediately jump off from the chair and run towards the door "from where anika has entered.

Fatah baby ,, she pick him up in her arms and kiss his soft cheeks , making shivaay feel amazed seeing their relationship. That little boy ,who never liked anyone except his family" specially after his parents death. He loves her so much. He remembers , on their marriage night only ,he had got mingled with her. And it was feeling like he knows her from life time. And not only that when he didn't share room with her. Then she's been sleeping in his room. And this didn't bother Fatah at all. Infect he was more ecstatic to share his room with his favourite Annie.

I've missed you Annie. Why did you leave me like this. ??Hr sobs hugging her tightly.

I'm sorry baby. I didn't have any choice. She said caressing his hair soothing him with her soft touch.

Don't leave me ever Annie. I can't live without you. He pout and joined his forehead with hers closing his eyes.

I ... anika about to answer him but stopped feeling Shivaay staring at her. She closed her eyes and walk towards him carrying Fatah in her arms.

Do you know what the time it is. Couldn't you hold him back for a night. He is a child, but not you. You could had told him many things to keep him at home. She whispered in low voice ,,which is audible to shivaay "but not to Fatah. Who seems busy playing with his toys.

Shut up ok ,, don't need to shout at me. Do you think that I didn't try. I did madam. But I don't know what black magic you have done on him that he kept crying ranting your name continuously. He hissed clenching her wrist tight in his hand making her yelp in pain "making him realise that he held her already wounded wrist. That time " he notice that not only her wrist "but face is swollen as well as have cut on her lip...

Let me go ,, she snatched her hand and turn her face away hiding her pain.

Annie you didn't tell me that why did you leave me ?? Fatah asked cupping her face in his small hands.

I actually erm ,, I won't live with you anymore baby.

Why ?? He instantly intruded in urgency.

Er actually ,, my patients needs me. And your house is bit far from my work place. So I can't treat them unless I shift nearby hospital. She answered having small smile on her face.

But i like to cuddle with you Annie. He pout sadly ,, having glistening eyes.

I do as well. ( her voice cracks ). But you should understand me as well baby. I need to be here. Moreover soon your uncle gonna get a girl at your home. And she will love you same as me. So I guess you don't need me anymore. Hearing her shivaay immediately snapped his eyes at her thinking ,he would find any remorse on her face. But she seems normal ,,while telling him about that.

But I want you. He Sobs leaning his head on her chest.

I can meet you when ever you like. Don't worry. She pushes his hair back and peck his forehead lovingly.

I love you Annie ,, he hugged her tightly keeping his head on her shoulder.

I love you too. She sniffles and peck his temple looking other aside instead shivay . Who seems not able to see the real anika. One side , he hate her for hurting Bella. And on other side "he is not able to understand that the evil anika is real or this one. Who love his nephew same as before despite their divorce.

Me oberoi your phone is ringing ??? She calls him with her sweet voice bringing him out of his thoughts.

Err yeah " he look at her and pick up the call.

Hello shivaay where are you ??? I'm feeling scared. Please come to me. Hearing panic voice of Bella shivaay jump up on his chair and speak hurriedly.

Where's your mom and dad??? He asked keeping his voice calm.

They are here. But I want you. Please come to me. She cry making shivaay sigh in helplessness.

Alright I'll be there in an hour. Don't panic. Stay close to your parents ok. Saying this , he cut the call and stare at anika ,,who is walking around holding sleeping Fatah.

He has slept. You can take him home. Saying this she pass him the boy and left from there before he talk to her or say something.

Precap ..... Bella comes back and seeing her parents loving her more made anika sad. Later Bella and Shivaay's engagement got fixed.
