Happy reading

I'm fine.  I'm fine.  Can you call me a taxi please. She stammers holding her throbbing head which is paining so much like someone is hitting her with the hammer.

Ok "as you  say , the  security guy first felt like to ask her to have little rest. But then , seeing the desperation in her eyes. He nods his head and called for her texi. Thankfully  he managed to get her first aid. Otherwise, she wasn't willing to get that as well. She just wanted to go behind that guy , who left her behind like this and caused her to loose so much blood. 

Texi will be here in few minutes. Anika nods her head and stood on the edge of the road folding her arms. She is feeling so scared thinking about Bella and her reaction.  She didn't think that truth will
Disclose infront of her like this. She wasn't prepared for this  sudden mess at all. Now she hopes that she don't react violently.  Otherwise things will get severe. 

Mam you have called the texi ?? Texi driver ask stopping the car infront of her.

Yes , she whispered in her low voice and got in the car  to reach home as soon as possible. 

At adkin mansion,

As anika entered in the main gate,  she got tensed finding not only her parents , but whole oberoi clan as well present there. And Shivaay is pleading Bella  trying To her hold on her. But she is crying so much not coming into his grasp .

It's not what you think Bella. Please try to understand. Let me explain to you , what happened. He pleads  trying to  get grip on her arm. But she pushes him  says crying hysterically.

I don't wanna hear anything. I've got to know that you are cheater. Who couldn't  hold himself for six months and got married to my sister. How can you shivaay ,how can you do this to me. Never in my dreams,  I'd  thought that you would do this to me.  She sobs making shivaay trail his fingers on his forehead in tension. 

I didn't cheat on you. I swear to god. It was just circumstances and ....

You bitch , finally you have showed your face. As Bella supported anika standing in the door , she stormed towards her and slap her face  before  she even react. 

How dare you bitch,  how dare you to do this me.  I can't believe you could do this to your sister. I had always loved you. Never ever I hurted you. But what have you done.  You laid your  eyes on my fiance. How dare you.  She raises her hand to slap her again but Rudy came  in between and shoved her away glaring her.

Stop hitting her.  She didn't have any fault. If someone has then , it's your parents and your so called fiancé's parents. Go and ask them. They had forced her to marry my brother.   She didn't want to do it.  And I'm  witness of this.

Oh shut up  , don't try to take her side. She is at the fault.and she always been.  It's not first time , she has laid eyes on my things. She always had. My mum and dad , my dolls , my room,  my success, my everything.  and now she has  tried to snatch my fiance as well. She literally had married him.  and you are saying , she don't have fault. She do have fault. You guys don't go on her innocence. I know that how clever and selfish she is. She would go so low for getting things , which belongs to me . She cry trying pounce at anika. But on meantime Shivaay's mother Sofia came im between and stop her.

Will you stop blaming each and everyone like this specially your sister. Atleast let her explain to you ...

You are taking her side. When you know that actual victim here is me. She cries giving her disbelief look.

Don't cry my darling. You are not well. Just stop crying. Doctor said,  you shouldn't put pressure on your brain. Just calm down. Her mother came ahead taking her in side hug rubbing her arm making her other daughter feel deep hurt seeing her mother still thinking about her sister instead  her. Whom she literally slapped infront of everyone. And not only , she is shocked,  but oberoi clan as well as shivaay. Who somewhere didn't like the way, she sidelined  anika and standing with Bella. He first look at Susan and Bella and then drag his eyes towards anika , who is standing having tears filled with eyes as well as bandage on her forehead. Which he noticed just now.

Why don't you tell her that you guys are the one , who had forced me into all this. Why are you keeping the truth hidden , when it's already been revealed infront of her. Just tell her that you guys didn't want to get humiliated infront of people that's why , you pleaded me to marry mr oberoi. Anika's voice out having lump in her throat, which is causing her having hard time to speak.

She is right. Tell her that we had forced her and shivaay. That's why they are married. Moreover. They already are divorced. Then what's the need to hide it like this. Sofia interjecting , not able to see anika getting all the blame. When she has done nothing.

Is that true mother ,, Bella asked in her hoarse voice breathing heavily.

Err yes. We had to. We didn't have any option. People were waiting for us in the venue. and we couldn't come with  anything else , except making them marry to each other. But don't worry. They never been husband wife.   There's nothing between them.  Moreover  now they are divorced. As I heard , you woken up.  I'd made them signed on the divorce papers. Now there's nothing between them.shivaay is yours and always will be. I will never anyone snatch him from you. ( she said eyeing to anika)who is standing  looking at her mother with pure hurt , which everyone can see, but not her ) You know that how much your mother loves you. She will make sure that your wish comes into command.  Did you understand.

Bella nods her head having thick sob and she hugged her mother tightly.

Bella , shivaay goes towards her and kept his hand on her hair caressing it lovingly. 

Bella broke the hug and look at him with her red puffy eyes.

I'm sorry Bella.  I'm so sorry. I shouldn't had done all that. But I didn't have any choice. But I promise I didn't feel anything for her. You were always been in my heart. You never left  from my brain or heart.  I'd kept you always in my life. And never ever thought to cheat on you. He said having  sincerity in his tone , which is visible to everyone including  Bella. But  deep inside , he felt like he is lying to himself. Somewhere ,  he had felt something for anika ,which he is not able to understand what it is.

I can trust you for once. But on that bitch. I'm sure , she surely  would have  tried to get under you. As she likes to claim on my things. She screams pointing on anika  ,having pure hate for her in her big  red eyes.

Shivaay drag his gaze towards anika and goes in flashback of their six months , where almost she stayed disappeared from his sight and never came infront of him. And if mistakenly she done it then, she changed her  way without sparing him single glance. So trying to seduce him or come closer to him is out of dictionary.

She didn't ... she didn't came to  me ever. I swear Bella. ( he  answered somewhere having disappointment in his voice.  )

Fine then , get engage to me tomorrow evening. Now I can't delay and let her take chance to snatch you from me. she announced making everyone shock  with her statement.

What?? are you  mad?? It's too early. We have done nothing until now. Sofia   stated looking at her disbelief.

I don't care. I just want to get engage with him as soon as possible. and that's final. Mom ,dad can you do this please.  She ask in her firm tone glaring anika.

Yes we can.  Don't worry baby. Everything will be ready.  Her mother said squeezing her shoulder in assurance.

That's great , and you ( she goes towards anika and  seethes in her  venomous voice ).  You tried your best to snatch my shivaay from me. Even got married to him. But  you couldn't. And got divorced in few months. And you know why it happened ?? because he was never been yours. And he was always been mine. And when something is mine , then god itself can't snatch it from me. So from now on. I want you to keep a good distance from him.  I don't want you to  lure around him ever and seduce him with your beauty. Just  keep your  evil eyes  away from him. Did you understand.  Saying this she about to go but stopped hearing anika's voice from behind.

Don't worry  I don't have wish to claim your so called fiance.  I don't want him and will never be.  ( shivaay immediately snapped his eyes and look at her with disappointment) I'm not petty like you. I know my limits ... I'm not you Bella. You claim that I have always tried to snatch your things. But me and you both know that, it was quite opposite. You were the one ,who never liked to see me happy. That's why , whenever I felt fond of something , you  claimed it being a cry baby.  Anika sneers making Bella angry and she about to pounce at her. But  her mother came in between grasping Anika's arm in her tight fist.

Anika... have you gone mad. How dare you to talk to your sister like this. Have you forgotten your manners. Say sorry to your sister right now . She orders her tightening her grip on her arm making her yelp in pain.

Aaaa " Why would I say sorry to her. I didn't say anything wrong. She cry shoving her hand away resulting her stumble back. Which was incident,  but it trigger her father,  and he screams.

You bret "what are you doing?? He raises his hand to hit her , but in midway stop controlling himself. Which actually shook anika deep down.  It's not like , it's first time of him hitting her. But today,  he tried to do it infront of the oberoi's and it hurt her deep down. How can you hit your mother like this. Say sorry to her right now.

I  didn't hit her. I just ... she sobs.

Now you will lie to infront of my face. I've seen with my own eyes , how you shoved her away. I can't believe , I've been feeding a brat like you. Who have started mistreating her parents as well. Say sorry to your mother right now. Shivaay's mother about to speak in between seeing them mistreating her unnecessarily ,but her husband stopped her shaking his head no.

Am I your daughter or not daddy. ?? Why you always treat me like this. Atlast  thick hiccup escape from her mouth with the snort , while feeling deep hurt in her heart. You always sidelined  me. You never loved me the way you love Bella. You and mother both always prioritised her.  I always felt like,  I'm outsider between you. and she is only your daughter.  It's hurts dad. It's hurts to  see people , whom I love deeply,  they don't love me back and treat me so shit ,like I'm not even human( she sniffles pointing finger on her chest being broken ).

How can I love girl like you. Who is no......

Ok that's enough ,, stop arguing with your dad anika. Her mother interrupted   before mr Adkin complete the sentence.

You have done enough today. Now I won't hear your nonsense. Go into your room.  you are grounded for your bad behaviour.

I'm not going ... anika announced wiping her cheek having determination in her tone.

Whst did you say ?? She seethes trailing towards her.

I said . I'm not going into my room. Infect I've decided I'm moving out. I've already looked a flat for me and I'll go there. You guys don't need to bear me anymore.moreover,  it doesn't seems like you guys need me here.  The way , I was always been non existed in your life.  Just keep it same way. I'm sure it won't affect your life at all. 

Are you hearing yourself young lady. How on earth you got guts to speak infront of us like this. Her father snarled  being disappointed with her.

Dad , she is always been like this. You guys  are seeing her true colour now. And you know what,  it's just a starting,  I'm sure , she will do more worse things. Bella sneers staring at her sister with pure hate folding her arms.

Oh really , if I was like this. And what you think about yourself. Anika about to move towards Bella to face her. But her mother stepped in between.

Ok that's enough. You are not going anywhere. Just go into your room right now. I'm sorry mr and mrs oberoi. You shouldn't had seen all this with your eyes. I apologise for  this girl bad behaviour . Come let's go ans have seat. And you ,,go into your room. Stop dreaming about going anywhere. Last two sentences she whispered to anika and lead the oberoi's towards the other side of the  sheltered garden , where they have arranged proper lounge for everyone ,  leaving anika and Bella alone. And shivaay is also watching them standing in distance,  not able to understand, why anika's parents treated her like this. Before few hours , he was hating  her for everything. But now somewhere he is finding her innocent in all this. As the person , who's been treated like this by her family , surely is not culprit here. 

Are you ok Annie ?? Rudy ask  rubbing her arm.

Yes I'm , she stammers passing him light smile.

You are not looking well. Go into your room and take rest.  He suggested caressing her hair.

I'll ,don't worry. You go and sit with your family. You should contribute in your brother's engagement arrangements. After all, you are his brother.

Ok , take care. Saying this he left from there. Now Bella and she left along with shivaay ,who is staring at her with his blue eyes. 

Watch your steps anika. Now my eyes are on you only.  Each and every step you take. It will be notice by me. And  if mistakenly,  I saw you lurking around shivaay. Then see what I do to you.  Did you understand. She smirks keeping hand on her shoulder squeezing it little in warning manners.

Come to my engagement. I would to love to see you watch ,losing everything with your those two big eyes. Hmm.

Shivaay raises his brow and trying to listen , what they are talking. But before his concentration grew more , his eyes fell on the men , standing on the roof having gun in his hand. He widened his eyes and screams Bella's name hastily.

Bellaaaaa ,, he screams and run towards her in fast pace and saved her pulling her in his arms.

You are fine , are you fine right?? . He ask worriedly cupping her face. 

Y... yes I'm. I'm. I .....

Annieee , this time , Someone else screams from the main gate , gaining Shivaay's attention. He first look at the person standing in the door , who is happened to  be balaaj , and then his eyes fell on anika  laying on the ground , straight having her eyes weeping continuously  being stuck  one the sky , while blood is oozing out from her body drenching  her blue dress.
