Happy reading

You guys will make perfect couple. Isn't raza. Saliha said making anika shocked as well as shivaay , who was standing behind them listening everything with his own ears.

What ?? Anika  stammers in shock staring at the balaaj , who passes her nervous smile,  rubbing his nape.

Mom and dad , can we talk about this later. Not right now. He said indicating towards anika.

Yeh sure.  His mother chimes holding anika's hand,  who is not able to understand , what's happening here.  Why they were talking about her being good with  balaaj.

Shivaay " what are you doing here. Bella comes calling him from behind. Anika startled listening his name and found him standing not far away from him , tucking his eyes at her. Which is describing that , he heard everything with his own ears.

Nothing , I needed  to get fresh air. He sniffles pushing his hair back and left from there before  Bella enquire about his behaviour.

......

Engagement function got completed somehow. And in all function , balaaj didn't leave anika for a minute. All the time , he was pacing around her like a lost puppy. which made Shivaay's furious as well as restless.  Not even once,  that guy gave him chance to get time , with anika. All the time,  he stayed with her. And if for few minutes,  he didn't,  then her mother  gave her some work and she got busy.  On top of that Bella has been lurking around him as well. Whenever he tried  to escape, she came ahead and start inquiry him. Now her presence has started annoying him. The Bella  whom he wanted to be around him all the time. Now he has somewhere getting annoyed by her .she is  so negativity for everything,  specially for her own sister that it makes him wonder. Is she same bella , whom he knew from so  many years.

Right now everyone is sitting in the  living area discussing about marriage and everything. But  shivaay is sitting silently looking nothing   particular, lost in his own thoughts. Which is obviously occupied by anika.she is fogging his whole brain making him not think about anything else except her.

Oh anika where are you going?? . I need to talk to you. Come have a seat. Anika's mother stop her seeing her going towards her room gaining Shivaay's fully attention , which wasn't there before few seconds. 

Mama , it's late night. And I'm really tired.  Can we talk tomorrow. She said softly having drowsy eyes.

No it's important. come have seat. Anika  look at her weirdly , finding  her too sweet with her and took seat beside her unwillingly .

Today mr and mrs sikander had came. You had met them right.  Hearing about balaaj parents  name Shivaay's hands immediately balled up somewhere knowing , where this topic is leading.

Yes they came. What about them ?? Anika ask tilting her brow in question.

They  asked for your alliance for their son balaaj sikander. As she said this ,Shivaay snapped his eyes and look at her shockingly as well as  anika. Who is not able to understand , what her mother saying.

What ?? She baffles

Yes.  And me and your dad liked him as well. They are well rich people. They have name in the country As well.  So it will be great , if we join hand with them. It will be wonderful for our business as well.  Mr sikander said,  if we do your alliance with their son. Then surely they will invest in your dad's new project. And you know that how important is this project is for us. Your dad Is hoping a lot from it and .....

Am a  look an object to you. ?? Whom you would sell again and again for your benefits. Anika
Stopped her mother in between , having disbelief washed on her face getting instantly  eyes of everyone on her.

What ?? What rubbish you are talking about ?? Her mother retorts controlling her rage seeing her talking with her like this infront of everyone.

I said which is true. First you forced me to marry shivaay. Just because your daughter got in accident. And then , you ordered me to dicorced him. And now when suddenly an alliance came from a wealthy family. Without my constant approval,  you are smearing your absurd  decision on my face.  It's feels like , your don't consider me human at all. If one side you do everyone for your one daughter. Then otherside you treat me so shit.  Why mama. Why it's like this. Today you have to tell me , that why you always  treat me like this. Why always I   become a sacrifice goat  for you. She snarled standing up on her feet having tears in  her eyes controlling her sob.

Oh shut up Annie. Why are you dragging me into that. I did nothing to you. Infect it's you , who tried to ruin my life. You tried to take my fiance , my happiness. And still you have audacity to degrade me into  this. She shout making anika angry and she stood up throwing sharp dagger through her eyes .

I did not snatch him from you. How many times I've fuckin told you Bella. It's mom and dad , who dragged me into this and made me married him. Otherwise I didn't want to do it. She screams dragging her eyes towards shivaay , making him snap at her somewhere feeling offended .

Oh really then why always you wonder around him . And what's the fuckin reason that you don't want to marry , where mom and dad is saying. Just get marry and leave our life. Let us live peacefully. Until you are here. We all will be in mess. You are the biggest curse on us. She rebuke at her face without watching her even a single word. She doesn't care,  how it's gonna hurt her. She just spilled out straight away on her face.

What are you saying.warch your tongue Bella. Shivaay interrupted making Bella angry and she gave him Sharp stare.

Stay out of this shivaay. This is our family matter. She retorts glaring him.

Family matter !! what family matter miss adkin. All the time , you guys insult me without seeing people. You don't care how insulting I feel,  when you guys degrade me and treat me like a shit. That time you don't think that's family matters. Anika snarls staring at her with disbelief.

Ok that's enough both of you. And you anika. It's been decided you are going to marry Balaaj and that's final. Hearing mrs Adkin horrific expressions spread on Shivaay's face. Until now , he was thinking they are just thinking about it. But now it's seems like they genuinely on it.

NO!! Anika retorts controlling her urge Of screaming out of frustration.

What did you say ?? Her father hurls walking towards her , like she is some sort of prey of his. Whom he want to obey him no matter what.

I said no. I will not marry Balaaj. I do not want you to decide about my life yet again. Already you guys have done enough. Now it's high time that I take decision  in my hands. And that's I do not want to sacrifice myself for your business or reputation. Before I had listened to you. Because I thought being your child. It's my responsibility to not let you down in your bad pace. But I didn't know that you guys will ruin my life like this. So this time I will do that which I want. I don't care , if you like it or not. It's my life and I will decide about it.

How are you talking to your parents anika. Have you forgotten that how much we have done for you. And now as well,  we are doing for you only. But you are such selfish girl that instead being thankful towards your parents, smearing your NO on our faces. We have done so much for you.  From childhood,  we have been taking care of you.  Your studies, your food , your other expenses,  all of them have been taken care of. And we never repeated about our favours towards you. And now , if we asked you once to do something then instead being an obeyed daughter,  you are saying no. Her mother shout  shoving her away making her little stumble. Shivaay about to run and hold her. But bella stopped him tugging his arm.

What are you talking about mama.  I don't think so a day went , when you didn't tell me they how much you have done for me.  You rant about your favours towards me none stop. As you feel like , you want me to do something  for your benefits. Next second you make me remind about it. Each and every day,  I listen that how much money,  you  have spent on me and how many morsels , I've taken with your money.  I've always been targeted by you. You never treat me the way you treat bella. If one side  you love Bella so much and  do whatever she wants . Infect never counts your spending on her. Then on other side you  , behave so cruel with me. And don't treat me good at all.  And not only you. But dad does same.i never felt loved by you ever.  You guys always neglect me. I don't consider to be your family.  If one side . you guys shower your love on bella. Then I'll be sitting beside you like a left over.  You don't think that how it's break my heart to seeing my own parents  neglect me and don't talk to me softly. So now I won't listen to you also.  If you guys don't care about me. Then I Don't do as well. Let your business rot in hell. She screams in agony letting all her heart out without taking a little break which made jack ( her father  ) slap her face making her fell on the floor leaving everyone shock with his sudden move. They didn't think that he will behave such impulsive that also in middle of loads of people.

Anika, shivaay jerk the Bella's hand and immediately crouched down taking anika  in his arm.

You have proven that you are not my blood. As these words slipped out of his mouth , everyone look at him like . they are seeing a horror movie , while anika sat there in Shivaay's arms being all shocked and statue holding her red cheek in her hand .

Jack what are you doing ?? stop it. His wife try to stop him. But right now he is so angry that he is not in mood to hear anyone and just jerk her hand away glaring her.

Not today. enough is enough !! I was always been against to keep her in this house. But for you and Bella sake I'd agreed. Otherwise I never wanted a maid daughter into my house living equal as us.  Now see whah she has done.. without thinking once , she insulted us infront of everyone and put us down. This is the result of giving road trash a house to live.  If that time ,we would had treated her according to her status. Then today,  she won't had shouted  at us and disobeyed us. A gutter Insect deserve to be there only. Not a mansion to live. We gave her everything , money , education, care and most importantly , a house without caring whose dirty blood is running in her veins. And look after doing so much , what we got , disrespect and contempt.

Can you stop it mr Adkin. What are you blabbering in anger. Shivaay's father  snarls looking at him with disbelief.

I said , which is the Truth. This girl is not our daughter. We have only one child and that's bella. This girl was in this house. Because Bella didn't have any sibling. So we decided to keep her,  so that she doesn't feel left alone. We done everything , which a parents would do for a child. But see , in end we have been insulted by her infront of you all people.

Mom is that true. She is not my sister. Bella said shockingly pointing at anika. Who is not in state of saying anything. And just trying to process whatever she is hearing right now with her ears.

it's true.she .... She is not our daughter. As these words slipped out of her mouth. Anika sniffles and stood up pushing shivaay away. He try to stop her. But she didn't let him get hold on her and move towards her mother with wobbling feet.

You are lying right ( she sniffles ). it's a joke . Please tell me you and dad are joking ( she hiccups gripping her arm in her hand. ).it's not truth. I'm hour daughter. You are my mama. Please just say that whatever you said it's not truth. But her mother instead answering her just snatches her hand from her grip making her disappointed. She gulp the heavy lump and run towards her father looking all drained out.

Dad please tell me na. ( she sobs ) You are my dad. Isn't. Mom and you are just pulling my leg. You guys are my parents. Dad I'm feeling scared. Please tell me the truth. Please dad listen to me. I promise I will do everything whatever you will say. Just tell me that you are joking. She hiccups having a little hope in her heart that might it can't be true. But next second she got shattered she she heard his answer.

Nooo !!! You are not my daughter. You are not belong to us. You had never been. I don't know , whose dirty blood is running in your veins. You don't have any identity or any lean age. It all has been buried with the maid. Who had brought you in our house. Hearing his harsh words made,  her step back and she sat on the floor on her knees with thud having continuous tears in her eyes.

Anika , Sofia comes running towards her and kneel infront of her keeping hands on her shoulders .

I'm not their  daughter aunty. She hiccups. I'm not anika adkin. I don't have any mom and dad. I don't have any identity. She sobs breaking Shivaay's heart into million pieces. Her each and every tear is stabbing his heart draughting his body. He bite his trembling bottom lip and sat beside her making bella angry seeing him being sympathised with this girl , who do not have any relationship with her or her mom snd dad.

Anika , listen to me. Stop crying. I I .... He raises his hand ro wipe her tears. But before his hand comes to contact with her cheek , she just jerk it away and stood up on her feet.

Anika" he whispered her name staring at her with confusion.

Anika " Sofia calls her name softly holding her hand.
But she just snatch her hand away from her grip and run away from there in fast pace.

Anika " anika where are you going??. Stop right there.  shivaay and Rudy follows her from behind , but she just run away from there without looking back.

Shivaay where are you going. Stop. Bella hold his wrist trying to stop him in middle. But he just shoved her away looking at her with blood shot eyes scaring shit out of her. 

Not today  Bella. Not fuckin today. Moment ago  whatever happened. It shouldn't had taken place at all . You guys just crossed your fuckin limits. I can't believe you guys can be this cruel.  Listen One thing. If anything happens to her. Then surely no one will be worse than me to you. He  seethes dragging his eyes towards mr and Mrs Adkin who are standing folding there arms without having a little remorse on their faces for hurting someone so badly , specially the girl who have stayed with them her whole life. And kept calling them her mom and dad. 

Shivaay lets go , we shouldn't wait. I don't want her to do something to herself His brother calls him in  desperation,  standing in the door,  trying to call anika again and again. But she's not picking the phone at all and again and again going on voice mail. 

Shivay  you won't go.  Just listen to me.  Bella  sobs   Trying to melt him with her tears. But they didn't work at all and he stormed out of the house dialling anika's number.

Precap .... Someone follows anika. Later shivaay found her in the park all scared and traumatised.
