Happy reading

After coming in the room, anika literally throw herself on the bed and just dozed off there without even removing her shoes. She is looking so tired and pale. It feels like Someone has squeezed out her blood from her body. The rosy cheeks , which always stays pink , they have lost the colour, and  she looks so weak. In a day only , her energy has got drained out. And the reason is losing too much blood because of her injuries.. and on top of that her family is just putting fuel on it. Specially her mother . Instead sympathies with her. As she came in, she's been targeted by her her screams. Which made her feel low and disheartened.

On the other side

Shivaay enters in the adkin residence and stopped in the door finding the bella and her parents enjoying their breakfast like nothing happened yesterday.  If someone  else would Had been on their places. Then they would had been worried for their daughter and woule had done something about the attacker. But they looks all chilled and unbothered. Which somewhere infuriated him and he decided to go to anika and meet her instead wasting his time on them.with these  thoughts , he  tighten his grip on the  bag , which he was holding and  left to search anika. Whom he assumed would be in her room.

Sir you here ?? Maid  said in confusion finding him looking for something ..

Yes I'm here..he said looking at  his surroundings.

Are you looking for Bella madam ?? She is downstairs with  mr and mrs Adkin.  She tells him thinking,  he is looking for Bella.

Art no , I mean , I know she is downstairs.  I've met her. Erm can you tell me , which way anika room is. Hearing anika's name from his mouth, made the maid perplexed. She didn't expect him to look for her. When she knows ,he  doesn't like her at all.

Her room is in the south side of the house.  If you will go  left  side from here. Then second room will be hers.

Ok , saying this he about to leave,  but stopped again facing the maid.

Did she eat anything.  ?? He asked in  urgency trailing his fingers on his forehead in anxiety.

No , she didn't. When she had came home in early morning. Miss Bella and Mrs Adkin were shouting at her. So she  left for her room without consuming anything. And since then,  she didn't come out. She said In soft yet sad voice.

Oh ok , he curled up his  fist somewhere feeling angry on Bella  and her mother,  and   left from there leaving maid amused. As the way his face colour changed after learning  about  the bad behaviour of Bella and her mother towards anika , made her confused. As before few days,  same man was  with them.  . But she shrugs her shoulders not feeling like to push herself  into the rich people things and got busy into her works.

In anika's room

Shivaay reached near her room and knock on the door thinking , she will open it any second. But after two three attempts,  when she didn't do it then , without thinking anything,  he slowly push the door and peak  in finding her laying straight on the bed  in uncomfortable position having her slung up arm on her chest  ,while having shoes in her feet. She looks so disturbed and tired. Her sleepy face showing,  how much exhausted she is. At this time, she should had been at the hospital and here she is laying on her small bad not   in good state. He shakes his head keeping the bag on a small chair and move  towards her. He slowly  bend down and remove her shoes from her small feet , which he found them so cute and beautiful.  He has never seen her feet before.  Or better to say never noticed them. They are small,  but really beautiful and soft. He felt like to take them in his hands and  caress  them. But he keep his wild thoughts aside and cover her with blanket making her move in sleep.which made him panic and he immediately fixed her posture. 

It's ok, he whispered caressing her hair loving moving towards her face. That time he realised she has bandage on her forehead , which was hidden behind her side locks. But as per as he remembers. She didn't get hurt , when she fell down after getting bullet,   then how come,  she has bandage on her forehead. He put pressure on his brain and then he remembered about the time , when he had pushed her in the court.  Regret hit him badly like a big stone on his  heart making him curse himself for behaving  so cruelly with her. Bella had seen them there together. That's why , she had got to know about their marriage. And anika didn't have  any fault. But as always,  he took out all his rage at her and Hurted her so badly.

You are an Idiot shivaay. He curse himself under his breath and stood up keeping hand on his forehead .. at that  time ,his eyes wonder around her room and  found not as big as Bella's . Bella room is three time bigger than this room and luxurious as well.  This room has nothing except a cupboard and a small chair. And the bed is small as well. Which barely fits her on it.  It's
Dull  and  ordinary room. Which really amused him.   If one side a sister has everything , then other one has nothing. And parents also  behave absurd as well.  They do not love her the way they love Bella.  Since Bella has came back. Each and every minute they   are showing that,  who is more important to them. And that's clearly Bella not anika.  That's why when  yesterday she got bullet. They were more worried for Bella not for anika. Who literally got shot. 

What are you doing here ?? Hearing her hoarse voice , shivays snapped out his deep thoughts and  found her looking at him with horrified expressions.

Anika you are up. He asked Settling on the bed making her stiffen  and she immediately sat up which resulted her to yelp in pain

Hey careful.  Your wound is still fresh. He said in tensed voice resting his hand on her shoulder,  which made anika shocked and she immediately get rid of it jerking it away.

What are you doing here?? . Why are you here mr oberoi. Hearing mr oberoi from her mouth made him grit his teeth in irritation and open his mouth to correct her. But he control his urge squeezing his eyes and speak.

Why did you leave the hospital in early morning.?? You should had been stayed there for atleast two days. Your wound is still fresh. He said having care in his eyes for her. Which made her shocked. As it's first time,  she is witnessing him being worried for her. Otherwise he is same person , who never give importance to her existence at all. She lives or die. It never concerned him.

I'm fine. You don't need to worry about anything. Now kindly   You should leave from here.. bella won't like it. And I don't want her to be angry on me unnecessarily. Just go mr oberoi. She said sternly crawling little away from him , disappointing him heavily seeing her behaviour. Whenever he try to come closer to her. She always run away from him. But with balaaj closeness,  she don't have any problem at all. He felt frustrated with her behaviour. But then he kept his anger aside and grab the bag from the chair.

Here have it. I've got you soup. I've heard , you didn't eat anything from the morning. And it's not good for you. . You should not compromise with your health. He said calmly removing the lid from the soup container ignoring all the question, She is asking.

I think you didn't hear what I said mr oberoi. I said go from here. I .... She was in mid of talking that he shoved the soup on her mouth by the spoon making her shock.

Drink it. I'm not gonna leave , until you don't finish all this soup. Saying this one more spoon he put in her mouth ignoring her angry face.

You ... she raises her another hand to hit him. But on meantime he hold it and stomp it in her lap staring at her with his blue eyes.

You are injured and weak. So better if you stop struggling and do what I say. I don't want you to get hurt again. Understand. He seethes looking straight into her brown eyes making her gulp.

Why are you doing this. Aren't you the one,  who was hating me before few days. Then what happened all of sudden that you have started caring about me. Is it because I've got shot. And you are feeling sympathy for me. Then don't do it. I don't need it. You are the least person, I expect to care about me. Behave the way you used to do. I don't want Bella to get different thoughts about it. Already, she is angry on me. And your care towards me will make her hate me more. So stop it and leave me alone.

But I ... he try to argue but she shook her head and speak.

I don't want you mr oberoi. I really don't. Don't waste your time on me. Understand. Saying this she got down from the bed and went inside the washroom leaving shivaay sitting alone on the bed holding the soup bawl on his hands. He was genuinely worried for her. He didn't fake at all. But like always ,she didn't appreciate and shoved him away from her. He shakes his head un disappointment and about to head out of the room, when stop finding a sparkling thing on the bed drawer. He frowns and immediately grabs it finding it bit similar.

This one ? He whispered checking if thoroughly trying to remember where he has seen it. Then suddenly his mind click and he hurriedly push his hand in his pocket and took out the other piece of the bracelet, which has same design , same charms and seems half piece of the jewellery. Which made him confused as hell. Because as per as he remember , this bracelet was belong to the girl , who had saved him. And she was Bella according to him. Then how come , this half piece of bracelet is with anika. Fear settle in his heart making his heartbeat uneven. But before his mind get wild, Bella's voice echoed outside. He shakes his head removing the absurd thoughts from his head and immediately left the room , putting the bracelet back on the actual place.

Where have you been ?? Bella stopped him in mid way finding him coming from the side , where anika's bedroom is present.

I was actually looking for you.  Where have you been. He asked passing her half hearted smile  which didn't go unnoticed by Bella.

I was downstairs. Didn't you see me.  She frowns being confused with his question.

Oh ok , I didn't see you. Anyways let's go. We should do breakfast together. Shouldn't we. 

Yeah sure. You go and join mom and dad.  I'm coming. Shivaay first felt like to drag her along with him. But then , he didn't want her to put her in doubt and nods his head.

Fine ,  come soon. Saying this he left from there. As he went out of her sight , Bella strode towards anika's room. As the way shivaay was behaving , surely he was in her  room.  She grounded her teeth and barge in  making anika gasp with her sudden burst in .

What the hell ??  Now what do you want Bella. Anika ask angrily being  annoyed with people barging in her room unannounced.

I want my shivaay back. Whom you are trying to lure with your beauty.. . I'd told you bitch to stay away from shivaay. But you are such whore that still lurking around him. Don't you have shame. Can't you see he wants me. He don't like it. If he would had then he would never has divorced you. But I don't know what kind of stubborn woman you are that you are not leaving him and just Sticking with him like a leech.

I'm not sticking with him like a leech. Are you hearing yourself Bella. If I don't say anything. That's doesn't mean you will call me whatever you feel like. I won't like you to insult me like this. Anika snarls in her warning tone glaring bella making her fume in rage.

Oh stop lying to me. I know you very well. You were always behind my happiness. You never wanted me to be happy. All the time you wanted those things which was mine. And shivaay is one of them.

I was never been behind shivaay. You know that as well. If I'd married him then it's because of mom and dad. Otherwise I didn't want to do it at all.

Oh drop your act anika. I know you very well. You never liked me with shivaay. Because you wanted him to be with you. That's why , before six months when you saw me with arsal , you started pushing me to go with him. And tried to pursued me to give him chance. when you knew that I was never going to go with that loser. He was just a time pass for me. As these words slipped out of her mouth , anika snapped at her having shocked face. In none seconds , she realised that she remembers everything. Memory lose never happened.

You remember everything. She asked being dumbfounded with the revelation . She can't believe, she's been fooling everyone from past two weeks.

Yes I remember everything. I'd never forgotten anything. She smirk evilly without having even a little remorse in her , for hiding such a big truth from her own family and shivaay. Who loves her dearly.

How can you do this to mum and dad and shivaay. How can you make them fool. She said being shell shocked with the reality .

It's my life. I'll do whatever I feel like. But listen one thing, you also keep your bloody mouth shut. Otherwise , I'll do that which you can't even imagine. Already mom and dad hates you. They don't like you at all. Don't come between my life and wishes. Because if you did then , that day is not for , when your own parents will disown you. Did you understand. She smirk patting her cheek and left from there leaving anika horrified and what not. She stumble and sat on the bed with thud, not able to disguise the reality. That's mean , she remembers everything. She never had memory lose. But why ?? Why she is hiding it like this. What's her motive behind it. Why she is fooling everyone. All these questions bombard on her head making her go crazy. She is not able to understand, why her sister is doing like this. Before six months as well. She played with not only one life , but four lives . And now seems like , she is doing same or worse. Anika hold her head and sat there being all confused and terrified.

And What about the baby ,she whispered holding her head in contempt.

In the room

Bella comes and just scattered everything on the floor boiling in rage. She is feeling hell angry on anika. How dare she yet again lay her eyes on shivaay. She knew that he belongs to her. But ni she is such a bitch that still behind him and luring him with her beauty. But it's enough is enough. She has to marry shivaay as soon as possible. She can't let her snatch her happiness like this.

Bella , hearing Shivaay's voice , Bella immediately cleared her face and turned passing smile to Shivaay. Who seems shocked seeing the things laying on the floor.

What happened here ?? He asked having frown on his forehead.

Shivaay , Bella sobs and hugged him tightly resting her head on his chest.

Are you still angry on me ?? She sobs snuggling with him.

Yes I'm a little bit. Because the way , you behaved yesterday, I didn't like at all. In end of the day , anika is your sister. And you should care about her. But you behaved such absurd. Which I didn't like at all.

I'm sorry shivaay. I don't know what got into me that. I behaved like that. Please forgive me. She sobs looking at him with tears stricken face.

That's ok , but don't do such thing next time. By the way I need to ask you something ?? Bella sniffles wiping her tears and nods her head.

You remember, your dad had got you a bracelet with stars charms. Which you always used to wear it in your wrist . Where is it.?? Is it still with you. He asked having deep hope in his heart that whatever he is thinking , it's all assumption. The piece of bracelet , which he has it belongs to Bella not anika.

Oh that one. , I still have it somewhere. Wait let me see. Saying this she run towards her jewellery box and started scrolling it. In no time , she shoved her hand in it and pulled out her bracelet, which is in full shape. It's not broken at all and doesn't seems like lost a piece of it making shivaay widen his eyes and he look at Bella shockingly.

So you didn't save me on the cliff. He whispered making Bella snap her eyes at him in terror.

Precap ...... engagement happens and balaaj comes there. And seeing his closeness with anika makes Shivaay's mood sore.
