Happy reading ..

Shivaay, Bella whispered in  shocked voice not able to believe ,what she is hearing from his mouth. Not even in her wild dream, she had thought that her plan will back fire her like this. She had  fully plan to kill anika and get shivaay to her side. That was her smooth scheme. But instead winning shivaay fully ,everything have backfired her. And not only he is leaving her alone,  infect he is calling anika his wife. Whom he had divorced before 6 months.

What rubbing are you talking about shivaay . Is this time of joke.  Balaaj  yells keeping his tone bit down thinking about anika , who is not in state to speak or understand anything. 

Do you really think that I will  joke around at this moment . ( He sneers ). Anika is  my wife. We both were married. I agreed the divorce  is in process. But until now it hasn't been resolved. So technically ,she is still my wife . And I'm her husband. And this reality no one can deny , neither you nor any of the person standing here.

Shivaay have you gone mad. Hearing Bella's  shrill  voice all turn except shivaay , who is standing back facing her having his hands in his pant pockets.

Shivaay I've asked you something. she shout again turning him holding his shoulder. But before she interrogates him more he showed her hand having stern face making her stumble.

Keep quite. Understand. He seethes in his harsh yet whispered voice making everyone sigh of defeat specially her parents. Who are not able to understand what got into him all of sudden.

Anika is coming with me in my house. She gonna stay there. And if someone has objection. Then he must keep it to himself. Because I'm not listening anyone.

You can't smear your decision on everyone. Moreover anika doesn't know about all this at all. You didn't even ask her permission. Balaaj screams out of rage seeing him deciding about anika's life without her consent.

That's between me and anika. You are no one to interfere mr balaaj sikander. Better if you keep your opinions to your own self. Understand. Now kindly leave all of you. Visiting hours are almost over. Bella about to come ahead and say something. But he just didn't even look at her and went into the ward closing the door behind.

It's all happening because of that anika. Why she don't die mom. Bella screams in agony staring at her parents faces. Who are just speechless not able to understand what's happening here.

Bella " her mother came ahead to console her. But she just jerk her hand away and stormed away from there crying on her fate. Which is bringing her back again and again,  where she was standing before. No matter how many times she try to take shivaay away. He always ends up with anika. And this time ,   it seems impossible to separate them.. she huffs wiping her tears and  walked away from there cursing anika under breath.

On the otherside, Jenny and Rudy "who were witnessing all this along with other family. They look at each other and formed their lips into victory smiles.

In the ward

Shivaay take a shaky breath and wipe away the tears from his corner of his eyes. Before few hours , when he had seen her in that dreadful position. He felt like his whole world has been crushed down. It was literally nightmare for him seeing her in pool of blood. At that moment ,he almost had got agreed that she gonna leave him. But thankfully god was enough generous to let her survive and  now she is laying  infront of him having low breath giving him reason to stay calm. Otherwise another war would had started,  which would had ruined each and every person. Who is part of his  life. He sniffles clearing his throat and sat on the bed taking her fragile pale hand. Which is having syringe pierced into her soft skin. 

He slowly caresses it with his long fingers and place a soft kiss on the tip of her hand .

Get well soon. He whispered rubbing his thumb on her back palm having moist eyes. Suddenly his eyes catch something,  which he never noticed before. He comes into his clear senses and  straighten up staring at  it with wide eyes

What's this , he  whispered and check on her forearm  where a burnt mark is on her skin. Which he has seen before. But not now. But way before. Then a memory flickers in him and he remembered something ,which didn't come across his mind. A hard blow hit his face making him realise  the reality. It's same mark "which he had seen on the arm  ,when he was pulled by Bella from the cliff. Or better to say it was anika "who had done it. Because she has this mark not Bella. Reality  hit him really hard making him have a strong gasp. That's mean ,it's anika "who had saved her. That's  why that bracelet was with her and now this mark.  He cups his face and stood up walking around in restlessness.  He is finding himself such a stupid" who didn't see the reality ,when it was infront of him. She literally stayed with him whole six months. And not only once he find out that she is the person " who had saved him not  Bella. But the way he is despising   on himself.  He is feeling same on Bella. All those years, she's been lying to him. And when last time he tried to inquired about it. That time as well , she shaded fake tears and convinced him that whatever he is thinking,  it's wrong. But now he is realising all truth. And It's literally suffocating him now. He exhale a long breath and drag his eyes towards anika , who is lying on the bed in influence of medicines.

After sometimes

Shivaay really didn't want to leave  anika. But doctor convinced him that anika won't wake up until few hours. So he  should go home and freshen up. But shivaay decided to not go home and  just get change in the hospital only. As he really don't want to take risk  for anything.  Already in his absence,  anika has been attacked . So he don't wanna  to put her in danger anymore. With this determine , he asked his men and arranged his stuff there. 

After sometime

He comes back l from  the private rest room of hospital and head towards  her ward in hurry.  But maybe he was too late to reach and he saw his family is surrounding her bed  while balaaj has been seated on the  stool  holding anika's hand,  who is awake by now. 

Annie"  he whispered her name.  Which didn't gain her attention  at all because of distance and she is busy talking with balaaj having her pale face.

Anika"  are you fine right. You have gotten so pale. Balaaj ask squeezing her hand gently having concern in his tone.

Yea I'm fine. She whispered in her groggily voice looking into her lap without meeting her eyes with anyone. Bhr shivaay  is just staring at her trying to get  attention. He wants her to look at him for once. But she seems not even interested about his presence there.

I've decided now. You are coming with me anika. I can't leave you alone. Someone is highly bent to kill you. And I don't want you to get hurt like this again. Let me be your protector anika. I promise " I will keep you safe.he raises his hand to touch her cheek. But partially before he even lay his finger on her. He's been stopped by a strong hand. He looks up and found shivaay standing infront of him having not so good expressions on his face. 

I think you didn't take my  words seriously ,didn't you. He seethes shoving his hand away staring at him with  his crimson eyes. 

Balaaj chuckle trailing  fingers on his  forehead and stood up facing shivaay. 

Because they weren't serious mr oberoi. And if they were then also I don't care. I don't care if anika was married to you or atill married  to uou . I will take her with me and you can't stop me for doing that . and I guess evidently anika   doesn't have any issue with it.  Isn't Annie. He said grasping her hand " which was resting on the mattress having syringe pierced  in it. Which eventually made shivaay burn in rage and he grasp his collar making everyone shocked.

Shivaay " what are you doing ?? his mother came ahead to stop him. But he seems not in mood to leave him and just grasp him more tight than before.

Who the fuck are you to decide about anika's behalf that where she has to live and where not. Stop trying to smear your decision on her face without her consent. specifically when you have nothing to do with her. Anika is my wife. Did you understand MINE . And I would never want her to go with an unknown man like that specially when her husband is all alive and strong enough to protect her. She is coming with me. And that's has been decided. You just stay the fuck away from us. Saying this he shove him away making him stumble.but that didn't budge him a little and he drew his attention towards anika. WHO is sitting silently without even sparing a single glance to any of them.

Anika you tell him what do you want. Just tell him that you don't want to go with him. Don't let him to pressurise you Annie. Just tell him your decision. I promise" I will be on your side and won't leave you for a second. Just say them that you have nothing to do with him and don't want to keep any relationship with him. Just say him. Balaaj pleads her taking her both hands in his hold hoping to get her on his side. But suddenly " his heart sank when she pulled her hands from his grasp and look at shivaay who started to feel relieved seeing her attention on him.

So now I'm your wife .. she stammers in her shaky voice making Shivaay's smile fade " which had formed a second ago.

Annie " he whispered her name taking a step towards her , but it halted as she snapped her eyes at him.

Since when you started considering me as ur wife mr oberoi. As per as I remembered. We have been divorced.and you are the only one " who had asked for it. So how come all of sudden I've became your wife. She ask the question in her hard yet firm tone earning a silence from his side.

I I I...... he stammers. Seems like anika doesn't want to come along with you mr oberoi. (Balaaj Interrupted) So I guess you should stop all this now. Anika you are saying right. When you guys are divorced then he can't pressurise you to come along with him. Don't worry" I'll take care of you. I will keep you so happy that you will forget everything about your past and all you will remember about me and our future. Balaaj smiles seeing everything falling apart as his choice. But his happiness was short live , when anika pulled her hand back and look at him sternly.

Thank you for your offer balaaj. But I can take care of myself. You both don't need to do anything for me. I'm enough capable to look after me. However about the attackers, then I'll look through myself. You guys don't need to waste your time on looking after me. I do not want anyone to baby sit me.

Anika what are you saying. I just ... balaaj try to argue but one glare from her made him quiet.

Ok that's enough now. I've already told you all about my decision. I'm not going with anyone. After my discharge ,I'll directly go my own apartment. I don't want anyone come behind me.

Anika you can't do this. Do you know how much dangerous it is.no matter what , someone has to be around you. You can't live alone. Shivaay interjected which made anika angry and she snap her eyes at him in fury.

I said mr oberoi " I don't need anyone. Just let me be alone. Whatever you guys have done for me. That's enough. I don't want you do to anymore favours. So kindly leave me alone. Don't wonder around me like a bee. I can take care of myself.

But .... He argues " but she shows him hand stopping him middle.

I said leave mr oberoi. And not only you but everyone.i wanna be alone for sometime. Just give my space. She retorts dragging her eyes ar everyone. Who seems enough clever to understand her point and started leaving from there except shivaay and balaaj who stood there making her annoyed.

Get out both of you. Don't force me to call the cops on you. She shouts.

Anika listen me I ... balaaj again try to get hold on her but one thick glare from her made him keep quiet and they both left the room leaving her alone. As they gone anika burst into tears not able to hold her sanity. She don't understand , why everyone highly bent to play with her life. Her parents were not enough that more people have included in it making her living miserable. She sobs and lean on the head board closing her eyes. Simultaneously shivaay stood outside watching her broken self. He really didn't want to see her in this condition. But he is feeling helpless to make everything right. As much as he is trying" things are getting worse more than before .

You bastard it's all happening because of you. Balaaj raises his hand to punch on shivaay face. But on meantime " shivaay grabs it and punched him making him stumble back.

This is my last warning to you balaaj sikandar. Stay the fuck away from my anika. If I saw you wondering around her again. Then I will burn you alive with my own own hands. Did you understand. Saying this he stormed away from there leaving balaaj lay there holding his bleeding mouth.

I will see mr oberoi" he smirk spitting the blood out of his mouth.

At night

After checking on her last time nurse left anika's ward asking her to have some sleep. But sleep is far away from her eyes and the first reason is the pain on her wound and another the mess of her life, which is spreading more and more with passing time. She is feeling so lonely and heartbroken at this point of her life , where everyone is trying to rule over her. When she had left her fake parents house. That time , she had thought that might this time her life will take right route. But as much as time is going ahead. Her life is getting hard and hard. She don't understand what to do and how to cope of witn this situation. At this point she thinks it's better if she dies instead bearing so many hardships. Suddenly she stiffens " when she felt someone's presence behind her. Instantly last night scenario came into her mind and in panic mode " she about to scream but on meantime that person kept hand on her leg making her realise " he is none other than shivaay.

Shivaay " she whispered his name clutching the pillow tight in her hold without turning back to look at him. And to her surprise he didn't ask her as well and started tracing his fingers on her feet to soothe her.

Tomorrow morning you are coming with me in my house. I know you don't want it. But I'm doing all this for your benefits anika . I don't want to put your life in danger. Already many times you have been attacked. And I don't want someone to get another chance seeing you alone. So it's decided " whether you want or not. You are coming with me. Saying this he get up and place a soft kiss on her cheek leaving her half paralyse. But she maintains her posture and stayed there in same position closing her eyes.

Good night sweetheart. Saying this he went towards the nearby sofa and lay there closing his eyes. While anika spent almost half of the night thinking " how to stop him to take her along with him. Because she knows if she waited until morning then no one can stop him to take her along with him.

Precap ...... she left the hospital midnight 👀
