A woman lost in her deep thoughts rubbing the soap on the plate tucking her eyes  on the water bubbles . She didn't even realise someone came in there calling her name " apparently  she is  too lost to feel anything around her. The way bubbles are bursting in the water "same her dreams got crashed before six months "when she got married to shivaay Singh oberoi. Simply  she couldn't say anything "when her parents had requested her for this marriage. Without thinking twice she had nodded  her head and got ready to marry a guy " who is already in love with someone deeply to his heart without having a little place in there for someone else like her. Suddenly she flinch coming out from the ocean of her thoughts "when she heard baby's cry. She immediately throw plate back in the sink which was full of soap and run out wiping her hands with the her  Scarf .

Mam listen to me. Tell me what should I make for lunch. Her maid calls her from behind but she didn't pay head to her and Climb stairs  trying to reach fast as much as she could for being near to the baby.

"Ayoo "she immediately run towards the baby" who was standing in the cradle holding the handle and carried him in her arms soothing him

Baby you alright. Shshsh it's ok mumma is here. She consoles him moving in the room around. Baby muffles and rub his face on her chest clutching her shirt ...

It's ok baby mumma is here. Mumma gonna change the nappy and then everything will be sort out. Saying this she kept him on the bed and got busy changing his nappy. Baby wriggle in her arms still crying but she somehow changed it bringing him back into the senses

Nappy is changed now. Now mumma will give her baby food. She caresses his hair and peck his forehead lovingly. Baby subsided his sobs and pushed the thumb in his mouth out of hunger. Anika immediately get up run to reach kitchen as soon as possible so that she could feed her baby. She comes inside the kitchen and grab the vessel to heat up the milk. after warming  up she made sure she cool it up enough " which doesn't burn the baby's mouth. After making sure it's fine. She made baby straight in her arms and slowly insert the nipple in his mouth which he immediately grabbed it and started sucking it resting his tiny hands on it. She sign in relief and kiss his forehead lovingly running finger on his nose . Baby gave her cheeky smile looking at her with blue ocean eyes and again started sucking his milk. After filling his tummy " she brought him back in his room and Put his tiny body back in crib. Seeing him sleeping a relief sigh left her mouth " she bend down and kissed her reason of life. After making sure he is fine she went out not before fixing the monitor near him " so that it could alert her when he cry. She comes out and decided to go and check upon her husband   Who is apparently sleeping in his room . She entered in there and found him sleeping on his stomach having nothing on his upper body. She slowly move towards him Looking at his sleepy  face. He is looking so tired and pale making her heart wrench. She so wanna sit near him and  ruffle his hair.. but then she dropped the idea thinking he won't like it. so simply she covered him with duvet and decided to leave from there without disturbing him. but before she do " he hold her hand in sleep and pulled her near him hitching her breath. She just forgot to take exhale The air being so near him. His hot breath on her neck made her weak all over her around making her feel dizzy .

Where were you going radu . Just stay with me. Do you know how much I've missed you ...!he mumbles in his sleep placing kiss on her shoulder.... anika immediately kept hand on her mouth controlling her sob after hearing the particular name from his mouth which she doesn't like to hear at all . She pressed her eyes together and let tears fell from her eyes. Simultaneously  He snuggled with her and kept his head on her shoulder hugging her waist. Feeling him so closer " she flinch and look at his face with pour hurt. The way her breath is fanning on her face  made her whole body have goosebumps.  His closeness is creating hovac inside her.  But the pain inside her made all these feeling fade away and she turned her face away feeling broken ...

I love you Radu. I love you so much. He mumbles  in sleep and peck her shoulder again passing current through her body.  She curse herself to feeling like this being in his arms. She shouldn't fall for him " which cause her hurt for life time. Better she keep good distance from him   And stay away from all these things  as much as she could!! She sniffs and slowly remove his grip from her waist and got up before he finds her near him... she Look at his face for a good minute and left from there closing the door "before he gets up.  She comes out and exhale a long breath  marching  towards  small sofa. She sat there putting whole weight on her arms and burst into tears looking towards his door.  No matter how much she try to control herself "but whenever he  takes her name "it's pierce through her heart. she can't able to disguise  the fact that " he is not seeing her "who is staying with him from last 6 months and doing everything for him whatever he wish for. and still living  in daze of Her sister's love .  Evidently He's still in so much in love with her sister that till now he didn't forget her and imagine her in the sleep even. These thoughts only churn her heart from Inside and she closed her eyes letting the tears fell down from  her brown orbs. Suddenly she   Come out from her thoughts-when she heard her husband's voice. She wipe her unnecessary tears and run back inside the room to know what happened to him. She reached in there and found him sitting on the bed holding his head.

Where were you radu ?? I was calling you from last five minutes.  He groan rubbing his eyes like a child.

It's not radhika it's Anika she  spoke  making him "realised he was again  dreaming about his  first wife  who is not with him anymore.  Lump formed in his throat thinking about it.but he control himself and got up from the bed grabbing his shirt.

I'm going to freshenup. Get me breakfast ready. Anika nods and immediately left from there for making his breakfast before he get ready.

She comes in kitchen and started cracking eggs for him.  She put veggies in there and mixed them up.   After making a good omelette" she kept in the plate and grabbed the mug of coffee for him filling it from their filter kettle. 

After some minutes "as she heard his footsteps ',,she grabbed everything and went outside. She kept infront of him on the table and  sat near him fidgeting with her fingers. He tore the omelette and put in his mouth chewing it silently.  Anika knows he liked it "that's why he didn't say anything and if won't had "then whole house he would had lifted on his head.  But he never praise it.  Always  he just silently eat and leave for office without uttering a single word.  He don't even say bye to her while going or meet his son   who needs his father the most.  After breakfast he wipe his mouth and about to go when she stopped him calling him

Err I needed to talk to you ( she  speaks stopping him

On his track)"  . Shivaay turns and look at her with his empty gaze which are carrying no emotions or any feelings which she  could read or understand.

Mom have called us for  their anniversary party today.  So I was thinking if you come early from work ??.   Shivaay first look at her sternly "but then he nods  and left from there quietly.    She sighs and decided to check on baby "who is sleeping from last 2 hours. she entered there and got amazed to seeing her child is laying in the crib sucking his thumb

Ayoo "she goes towards him and take him in her arms kissing his cheek.

How's my baby?? is he fine. When did he wake up. Why didn't you call your Mumma. but baby didn't answer and kept his head on her shoulder  sucking his thumb. Anika smiles and peck his head rubbing his back.  Baby look at her with his blue eyes and smile lazily making her aww seeing his antics. 

My baby" she kiss his forehead and hugged him tightly finding him only the person to be who  is giving her reason to smile.  Suddenly she flinch when her phone started ringing. she got her phone out from her pocket and saw her mother in law is ringing.

Hello maa. How are you.   She asked softly making her mother in law smile.

I'm good Anika.. you tell ,how are you and how's my son and grandson ?? Pinky ask nonchalantly.

They are fine maa. He went office and Ayoo is in my arms. She answered innocently.

P. When will you learn to take his name Anika.  Anika didn't speak and bend her head down taking a long sighing.

Anyways today we are having a big party. so i want you to look good. so make sure  to wear good clothes and do touch up on your face. Today I want my son to drool over you   and forget his all past.  Anika chuckle silently and didn't speak anything.

You heard what I said Anika. Pinky  said strictly stressing her words.

Yes I did maa. Anika mumbles kissing her baby cheek who is resting his chin on her chest gazing at her continuously

Hmm good.  Anyways see you soon. Bye take care. Saying this she cut the call  pushing Anika back in her thoughts.  No matter what she do " what she wear 'he  will never look at her the way he used to look at her sister. She peck her baby again and went towards her room.  She comes inside and kept baby on the bed and decided to search something good for tonight as she doesn't wanna disappoint her in laws. She hurriedly march toward the cupboard and  open it in jiffy without realising it's not her side of clothes. " but it's too late and her eyes tucked on the dresses which are Hanging there.   Tears gathered in her eyes seeing the things. If one  side is fill with the  Asian clothes then another one is filled with all the lingeries and other sex stuff.  She slowly raise her shivery hand and grabbed one of condom box which soon made her eyes welled up and she fell on the floor keeping hand on her mouth. She can really imagined him having sex with her right straight on the  bed "which is laying infront of her. She started having hiccups thinking about all this. She agreed "she was his wife and love of Life. and she shouldn't think like this. but what she can she do "when it's hurts "how much he loved His first wife and never gave a tiniest  piece of love to her. She sobs closed her eyes tightly letting the tears  roll down from  her eyes. Baby who is sitting on the bed he look at her with his blue eyes concernedly.  He twist his lips and burst into tears seeing his mother crying

Baby "she immediately run towards him and took him in her arms forgetting her own pain.

It's ok it's ok Mumma is not crying. I'm sorry baby I'm sorry. she caresses his head kissing it numerous times. Baby sobs and hide his face in her crook holding her shirt.  Anika wipe her tears and soothe her baby. After couple of seconds "when she realised he is fine she put him back on the bed and went towards cupboard. She just shut the door of it  quickly and grabbed whatever she got in her hand from her side of cupboard...

...

Anika he needs you. He is so tiny and can't live without you.  So me and your dad decided to make you marry with shivaay.  Moreover he is alone and he needs partner as well. If he got married with someone  else then we won't able to meet our grandson. Who is last  sign of our daughter. Please darling   try to understand us and marry him. Her parents pleads holding her hand having tears in her eyes

But how can I mean I'm still studying ... she sobs.

Yes you are but you can do this after marriage as well. I'm sure Shivaay will keep you happy and will give you love  same the way he used to love your sister.  Anika look at her parents and then the baby in her arms who is looking at her having hope in his eyes. She so wanna say no for this marriage but seeing her parents and this baby "  couldn't make her do it and she decided to marry him keeping her wishes aside.  And in no time same day  they  went in court and done simple register marriage.

.....

Suddenly she cAme out from her thoughts when she heard door shutting voice. She look her aside and found shivaay has  got down from the car and going towards entrance leaving her behind. She sighs and got down from it carrying the baby in her arms.  

Inside

Where is Anika shivaay ??? his mother says as he entered there. 

I don't know mom. saying this he move towards some of his business associates and got busy with them. His mother shakes his head in disbeliefl and decided to check itself. but before she do "Anika cAme inside with the baby "which soon snatched by her brother in laws after greeting  her.

Anika where were you ?? I was waiting for you only.  Pinky asked  holdinh her hand.

I was here only maa. She smiles and hugged her. 

Happy anniversary. Anika says taking her in hug. 

Thanks  sweetie .  Anyways come let's go in"

Everyone are waiting for you only.  She hold her hand and took her inside.  

Pinky your  daughter in law is simple but she is so pretty.  One of lady compliment caressing anika's hair. 

Indeed she is " infect more than her sister.  Her sister  was up  to in fashion. but this one is up in the beauty in and out both. Another lady says giving smile to anika " whose eyes landed on shivaay who is glaring that woman with his blood shot eyes. .  Anika understand he didn't like the way she praised her and said radhika was not  that nice or pretty. .

Thank you mrs sharma. Anyways you enjoy the party we are coming. Pinky gave her tight  smile and took her daughter in law with her

These women are too much. anyways  Can you check if cake has arrived or not. Till then I'll check another arrangements.  Anika nods and Immediately went away from there without noticing shivaay " who followed her behind .

Hello mam. Maid greet her and left firm there leaving her alone.  as maid went" Shivaay entered there and caged Anika between him and wall making her scared hell out seeing him suddenly infront of her out of sudden.

What you were talking with those women ha. ?? Anika hissed with his so much pressure on her wrist

Woh woh nothing I just I .... She stammers.

Remember one thing girl. No matter what  you are Or what not. you can  never take place of radhika. You will be always nothing to me. I've married you for my son. otherwise I would had never done it. So stop thinking you are better than radhika.  She will be always number one in my  life. Did you understand!! and one more thing.   My radhika was pretty from inside and out both. You can never have comparison with her.  Saying this he pushed her and left from there leaving her having tears in her eyes. She hold her wrist which have got his nail Marks and burst into tears feeling so much pain in her  wrist which is bleeding with his dig. 

Anika I said to you to come but pinky stopped when she tears in her eyes.  Seeing her there Anika Immediately wipe her tears and hide her hand under the saree

You alright Anika ??? She asked worriedly moving towards her.

Yes I'm ... don't worry maa just because of this cleaning spray water started oozing out from my eyes. She smiles showing the  cleaning spray which is laying near her on the table.

Oh ok stay away from it. I don't want you to get allergy.  Pinky says caressing her face.

Yes maa she smiles and left from there hurriedly. 

Pinky felt suspicious with her behaviour but then she shrug her thoughts and went outside.

After cake cutting Anika is sitting with her parents when her mother speak.

Is shivaay taking care of you.  ??? You look so weak Anika. Her mother says caressing her hair. 

You are not my wife and would never be Anika. I just married you for my son   so just keep yourself stick with him   don't even think to come near me. Did you understand.  He yells at her making her scared hell out of her seeing him angry

I'm Asking you something Anika. You didn't answer ?? her mother spoke bringing her back from her deep thoughts.

Yes Mama .. he is taking care of me. Even more then anyone.  Don't worry.  She manage to smile hiding her wounded hand under the saree

That's why I had made you Marry with him. as I knew he is such a gentleman who would never hurt you. Her dad says kissing her head

Yes dad .. he loves me so much   she whispered looking at shivaay who's talking with some people.  

Mr oberoi what's in your finger. Did you dip you nails in some paint.  Mr Mehta says making him alert about his hand. He raise it and got confused seeing dry blood stuck in his nails.  Seeing them he  went in flashback when he had held Anika's  wrist in his grip .  He look at her and found her standing with his mother talking about something while her same particular hand is under her saree. 

Err Yh I'm going to wash it.  He gave them smile and left to clean it.

After  sometime

Erm if party is finished then shall We go.  Shivaay says coming towards Anika " who is standing with his mum

You both are not going  anywhere. I've decided you gonna stay here tonight. his mom says making him irritate thinking about staying here with his whole family.

I can't mom. I don't get sleep  anywhere else except my own home. He  said being annoyed imagining to live here.

Shivaay you have spent your whole life in this house. so stop lying you can't stay here. Anika beta go in to your room and you as well.  She orders shivaay who huffs looking at her being annoyed.

But mom he whined rubbery

Shivayy.  His mother glared him making him sigh.

Fine he huffs and left for his room  feeling hell angry on Anika  " who surely asked his mom for staying here.  

Maa it wasn't needed. He didn't like it. Though we stay few miles away. Anika says looking at Shivaay's retreated figure.

Anika I said go into your room don't take your husband's side.already you spoiled him enough. Now go. Pinky orders her in stern tone.

Ok saying this she left from there unwillingly. she so don't wanna go in his room. but now having no any other option "she has to obey her mother in law. as if she didn't then they will get suspicious about them which she really doesn't want.

In room

Baby sleep here she put the baby in his small crib and about to head towards washroom but stopped when her eyes landed on the bed. 

How will we stay here ?? she mumbles tucking her eyes on the bed realising today she has to share bed with him. as she can't stay in another room being surrounded by loads of  people here. 

Mom I had asked you that I don't wanna marry her. But no you didn't listen to me. And made me married to her. You knew that radhika had only right over me. I can't love someone else rather than her. She was my love of life. She only managed to rule over my heart. I can't see someone else as my life partner than her. But still you made me married with anika and tied me in unwanted relation. which I never wanted. Now I'm stuck. She is trying to come closer me. She is trying to impress me with her looks and antics. She is thinking that I'm gonna melt to seeing her beauty without understanding I don't want her in life mom . She is nothing but a random vase which he laying in my house and I don't care about ittttt. he yells his mother huffing badly without releasing her presence who is hearing him standing near the door. There is no emotion on her face or eyes. She is just blank looking at them. If someone else would had been on her place. then would Had been crying standing there. but why would she cry "when she knows he doesn't like her and don't love her at

All. Leave love " he don't even have sympathy. It just she was stupid who got agreed to marry him and trying her best to lead her life thinking if she took some step then her father will " die who Already had two heart attacks. She sighs and left from there before any one of them notices her there.

Shivaay you can't say like this. She is doing everything for you and for your son. You knew that how hard was for your son to survive without a mother. It was her niceness that she cAme forward to take care of him. now if she expect something from you. then I don't think so it's bad. How many days you will hanging in the past beta. One day you do have to move on then why not with Anika. His mother Try to put sense in his brain" but he is not paying attention to her at all in anger and just cursing anika for coming into his life without his will.

Mom I said I don't want her in my life. Not Anika nor someone else. and about Ayoo then I didn't ask her to come forward and take care of him. she itself did. Now it's not my fault that she is expecting other things as well from me. when she clearly knew that I never wanted her in life. Look mom I can't get along with this anymore so let's search a solution for it.

Means ?? his mother widen her eyes after hearing him.

I'll tell you later. But remmber one thing it's only better for us. Saying this he left from there leaving his mother restless with his words. She don't want him to leave Anika. She is just hopping " he accept her and love her the way she deserve. As she doesn't want him to regret later in the future because of his

One stupidity

.........

After putting baby back to sleep Anika about to head towards washroom for changing her suit but stopped seeing shivaay entered in there.

What are you doing here??? Hearing him she didn't answer and bend her head down.

Didn't you hear. I said what you doing here. ??? One second are you planning to sleep with me. He retorted  looking at her being amazed.

No I don't I just. She about to say more but stopped when he grabbed her wrist and dragged her till door making her stand out of the room .

Neither you have place in my heart nor this room. And about my son " then I'll take care of him. You don't need to worry about. Saying this he shut the door on her face making her close her eyes. He take long breath and lay down on the bed thinking about his and his mother's conversation.  Today he lied many things infront of his mom and one of them is anika is coming near him. and trying to seduce him. which is utterly lie. she don't even talk him. Since they got married barely she shared a word with him. then how come she will seduce him or try to come near him.  Somewhere this thing hurting his ego. but he doesn't want to show and wanna get rid of her as soon as possible. before she makes place in his heart. Having these thoughts only sleep took over him and he slept there. On the other side Anika sighs and decided to leave from there instead of pleading him to let her in. just because she didn't want someone to catch her out. If In morning by chance someone saw her. then he will make some excuse infront of them. .   She exhale a long breath and went towards balcony which is attached to the room through the window.

In mid night

Shivaay's eyes got open " when he heard his son's wails. He groan and rub his eyes in frustration.

God why did he get up 3 am. He yawn moving towards his son crib.

What happened baby ?? why are you crying??. He takes him in his arms Thinking he will get quite but his wails are increasing more making him irritate.

Why are you crying. What do you want. ???? He says lulling him around but he is crying nonstop.

It's ok baby daddy is here. Dad will itself get the food for his baby. Saying this he put him on his hip and try to Make the milk. but he is just moving so much in his arms making hard for him To pour water even in the bottle

God ayaan yaar stop moving. He shout at him making baby broke into tears Again having thick hiccups. Shivaay rub his forehead and put the powder in the milk

Here your milk. He grabs it in his arms and try to push in his mouth. but instead of taking" he just jerked it away erecting his body in his arms having tears constantly rolling dow from his eyes.

Ayaan "Anika Barked in as she heard his voice. She snatched him from Shivaay's arms and started walking around calming him down. As he cAme in her warmth" he recognise her and hugged her tightly thrusting his face in her neck muffling

Shshsh it's ok baby Mumma is here. Shhshsh stop crying. She wipe his tears and kiss his red cheek soothing him. Ayaan have small hiccups and look at her with cloudy eyes. Anika wipe his tears and peck his dry lips consoling him. Shivaay just got amazed to seeing their bond. His own son " who have his blood he cried in his arms like"its end of the world. but as she took him in her arms he got quite and complaining her with his small muffles.

My jaan was hungry ha. Mumma had got to know that my baby will get up at this time. That's why she was waiting outside.she smiles at him caressing his cheek with her thumb.

Now my Ayoo will fill his tummy. Mumma gonna make food for her jaan. She goes towards his kettle and put water in the milk and then pour powder in it. After mixing it up she rest it on her cheek checking the temperature and smile at her baby" who is resting his head on her chest  looking at her with his blue eyes.

My strong son missed mommy. Aww meri jaan she kiss his cheek and move towards bed to take place but stopped seeing Shivaay there. She immediately move towards the edge of window and sat there having him in his arms. She slowly kiss his cheek and put nipple in his mouth " which hurriedly he grabbed it and started sucking it. Shivaay just observing each and every move of her. The way she cAme running in the room and consoled him. which to his surprise he instantly did and got quite next second.he is his father. he should had got quite in his arms as well. but that time he was screaming like someone have thrown him on the thorns. He blink his eyes again tucking his eyes on Anika" who is moving around making ayaan have burp. in no time he made face and done a load burp making her giggle. He just got lost in her smile. The way her lips stretch and a dimple left on her side cheek made him just get lost in her. It's first time he have seen her smiling. otherwise since they got Married "leave smile she didn't even talk to him properly.

Erm mr obeori I've put him in the crib. he's been slept. Now he will get up in early morning only. You can sleep as well. Before he says something she immediately left from there without talking to him extra or say something.

Shivaay rub his forehead and sar on the bed looking at his baby who is snoring acutely in the crib. Seems like his mother is right. If Anika won't be there. then it will be really hard for him to handle him. He sighs and kept hand on the place where she was going to sit. but maybe she remmber something and didn't sit there and chose to take place on cold window edge instead here.

In morning

I wish you could stay longer Anika. I was planning to go on shopping today with you. Pinky says sadly holding anika's hand.

Another day maa. Today ayaan is having his first dentist appointment. which I don't wanna miss. but I promise" I will come with you some another day. She Smiles caressing her hand

Now shall we go or you wanna stay here?? Shivaay spoke rudely rolling his eyes.

No it's ok I'll come with you. Take care maa she kiss pinky's forehead and left from there. shivaay about to follow her but his mother stopped him

P. Try to mend your relationship with her. Next time I wanna hear different prospective from your mouth about her. Did you understand.

Mom I've already told you I can't do that. because I love radhika and will always do no matter what. Though I've believe "she is alive and will come back to me. So I don't need to search solace in someone else. He whispered which is audible to her only.

No one can come back from car accident Shivay I guess you had seen the condition of the car. Now stop this bull shit and move on. I really don't wanna hear any of your this shit again. Saying this his mother left leaving him hell angry. It was Better if he would had said no for marriage with Anika that day only. If he would had then " he didn't have to hear all this crap. He made irritated face and stormed away from there.

In car

Shivaay is driving" while Anika is sitting with him looking out having Ayoo in her arms "who is sucking his thumb enjoying outside view. Shivaay trying to steal glance from her. but she is not paying attention to him at all lost in her own world

Aaaa Ayoo she hissed when mistakenly his small foot touch her wounded wrist. Tears made their way from her eyes feeling stung pain in there. Shivaay Immediately stopped the car seeing her wound which he had gifted her yesterday with his hands.

Hey what happened ??? he try to touch her wrist " but she didn't let him and immediately hide it under her dupata looking away

Err nothing nhi it's fine. She sniffs wiping her tears

Can we go fast. I don't want us to get late. Shivaay didn't utter a single word and start the car and drove away from there.

In hospital

Mrs oberoi are you feeding him your own milk or another one. as he is looking so healthy baby. Doctor ask pinching Ayaan's cheek having smile . Anika about to answer her but before she do shivaay interrupted In between.

She is not his mother. So I guess she can't feed him. His t words hit direct her heart and she bend her head caressing her baby's head " who got worried seeing his mother's pale face

Oh sorry. Anyways this is the cream you have to apply on baby's gums whenever he will feel irritated. He is toothing right now. so it will be required. Anika nods taking in her hand giving her small smile.

We should leave now let's go home. Anika nods and followed him behind silently.

Anika "someone calls her from behind stopping her on the track.

Depika" she smiles and move towards her

What a pleasant surprise. Where you been Anika. It's Been Long we haven't met. Depika says taking her in hug

Sorry depika I was just busy in life. Anika answered breaking the hug.

Oh anyways you tell how's life?? . What happened to you. You looks so weak. Depika says touching her hair

It's nothing like that I'm fine. .... I anika stutters.

No seriously yar. You have became so skinny. Anika didn't answer and look st shivaay who divert his gaze away from her before she catches him noticing her figure.

Isn't your sister baby awww he is so cute. She says pinching his cheek

Indeed he is. She managed to smile feeling not good after hearing her calling him as her sister's son

You cAme here with your jiju. Where's your sister. She smile

I'm going in car. Come soon saying this shivaay left from there leaving her there

It was nice meeting you deepika I will meet you some another day right now I'm getting late. See you she gave her light hug and went behind Shivaay hurriedly.

In the car

He will be always mine and radhika's son. No one will say that he is belong to you. Whoever will see him they will recognised him by her name not yours. SO it's better you start thinking about future. I don't want you to tie yourself with me without any reason. Better you leave. He says stoping his car near the house. And one more thing. Try to mix up ayaan with me. I don't want him to struggle after you. Hmm Now leave the car. I'm getting late for office. Anika didn't utter a single word and get down from it. As she cAme out " he drove away from there in fast speed. Blood run through her nose looking towards his retreating car. Ayaan who was playing with his fingers he got scared and touch her nose making her realise. She Immediately wipes it and went inside hurriedly along with him.

At night

Shivaay comes in the house and sat on the sofa rubbing his forehead.

Anika get me glass of water. He calls her still sitting on the place" but after five minutes when she didn't come he got confused.

Anika where this girl have gone. He throw his tie and move towards the kitchen.

Anika i was calling you from last ten minutes where are you lost??? . He yell at her making her come out of her zone. but in this process mistakenly her hand touch the pot and hot water fell on her foot.

Aaaaaaa he loud moan escaped from her mouth felling on the floor. Shivaay Immediately run towards her and hold her in his arms looking st her worriedly.

Are you mad ??? what have you done to yourself. He yells at her looking at her foot which got red BY Now. Anika cry clutching her dress in her hands tightly having unbearable pain. Shivaay shakes his head and immediately took her towards sink to wash her foot. He open the cold water tap and kept her foot under the water making her cry in pain. She sobs and clutch his shirt tightly in her fist thrusting her face in his neck. Shivaay shakes his head and took her outside blubbering anger on her.

Such a clumsy yoh are. If you can't do something good. then why the hell you do it. How stupid and childish you are Anika. He Shout at her moving towards the sofa. He kept her there and sat besides her having her foot on his lap.

God it burnt so badly. Anika hiccups and try to pull her foot away " but he didn't let her and glare her.

Don't!!! Saying this he grabbed the firstaid box which was thankfully laying nearer table and started tending her foot

You don't need to do it. She sobs looking st him with teary eyes

Shut up and sit quietly. Anika bend her head down and let him do whatever he wants. After tending it " he got up and rest her foot back on the sofa. He about to head away but stopped hearing his son's voice from monitor

Ayaan. Anika got panic hearing him crying and about to get up but he stopped her keeping hand on her shoulder

Where the hell are you going. ??? Have you seen your foot. He shout.

Ayaan is crying I've to go to him. She hiccups.

I'll bring him don't worry. You just stay here. He orders her pushing her back on the seat.

Bht i she try to argue but one stern gaze from him stop her.

Anika I said stay here. He glare her in warning way and went to upstairs to get him. Anika got restless hearing her son's wails still. she so wanna run and take him in her arms. but she can't do it because of her foot as well as because of shivaay " who gonna yell at her for putting pressure on it.

Ayaan yaar I'm your father not any enemy " whom you doesn't like. Shivay spoke getting down from the stairs trying to calm his son down but he is just crying nonstop

God this boy is so stubborn. What kind of habits  are you putting in him Anika. He doesn't even go to someone.he says passing him to her whom she instantly hold in her arms

Now sit here I'm going to get his milk. Anika nods and he left from there. Ayaan sobs and wriggle in her arms up and down.

Baby calm down. please stop crying dad is getting the milk. but he is the one " who is crying non stop pushing his face towards her breast. Anika rub his back and move him in her lap. but stubborn kid is just hitting her boobs with his tiny hands out of hunger. When shivaay didn't come back even after five minutes she unwillingly open the button of her shirt and put her bud in his mouth stopping him crying

After feeding him" she wipe his lips with her fingers and peck his forehead. Baby giggle happily having his tiny fist in his mouth.

My baby" she peck his nose and Kept him on her chest moving a bit so that he could burp. In no time he hitched once and burp loudly leaving a small giggle along with that. Anika chuckle seeing him so happy and kiss his head lovingly.

Here is his milk ..feed him ,"but  shivaay stopped when he saw him all happy and smiling. He got confused seeing him like this. Before few minutes that child who was screaming lungs out of him. now he is all silent jumping in her lap.

He was crying before few minutes.  now what happened to him ??? why suddenly he got quiet ??? he frown looking at him being confused with his behaviour ...

He wasn't hungry.  he just wanted to come to me. that's why he was crying.  she lied looking around avoiding catching his eyes which are looking at him having confusion . 

Oh ok. Saying this he sat besides her and kept looking at her and ayaan. Smile appeared on his face when he saw his son playing with her hair while giggling hearing her babyish tone. 

Yah mera bacha hai. Ya mera ayaan hai. Hwww how cute he is isn't. This small nose  (she kiss  there ) these small pink cheeks. she pinch him softly pecking them  and these lips. she  tickle  his chin and peck there making him burst into  laughter. Shivaay chuckle hearing his laughter while tucking his eyes on  his wife face listening  her keenly.

Momma loves his ayaan so much and ayaan love his mumma as well.  Ayaan coo and giggle jumping in her lap.  Anika smiles and kiss his forehead lovingly. 

suddenly she stopped  "when she felt his burning gaze on her. She got lost so much in talking with her son that she forgot" her husband is sitting beside her.  She clearly her throat wnd started getting up making him confused

Errr I'm going to make  dinner. It's getting late. Saying this she about to get up "but he stopped her holding her hand. 

Have you seen your foot.  You can't even bloody walk properly and deciding to cook dinner. He said gritting his teeth in anger seeing her behaving so casually after burning herself.

But servants are not here. All went home because of  heavy rain so I guess I have to make food for us. We can't stay hungry right.  She said nonchalantly taking her hand back.

Don't need to worry about that. Just sit down and take rest I'll sort it out. He answered while scoffing. 

How ? She frowns being confused

Obviously Uber I'll do. What do you think ,, now sit down and give rest to your self. Anika nods without arguing more and sat there  holding her son who kept his head on his mother's chest looking at his father silently.  

After some minutes

They are watching tv " when suddenly thunder grumble outside making her scared. She gasp and hold his hand tightly looking around having  fear on her face

What happened.  ??? He ask keeping his palm on her back hand. Anika look at him with pale face and nods no leaving his hand.  when she realised what she is doing

Err nothing I'm fine she sniffs tucking her hair back

Don't you have any other motive in your life anika. ??? He ask fetching her attention

Means ??she frowns looking at him ..

I mean future planning or something. Like  how can you marry me instantly forgetting everything about your future. You were young. you had many opportunities  ahead. You could had got someone way better than  me. then why did you get  ready marry to me. ?? specially when you knew that I love your sister and would never forget her...

Anika blink her eyes and turn her face away hugging the baby who's silently listening them. 

Life  doesn't go the way we decide. Always there is something" which force us to do it which we doesn't want.  Sometimes  we have to  bow whether  we  want or not.  My situation was like this.  I couldn't say no for marrying uou. Though when god had written you in my life. then no matter what I do !!I'd to end up with you. She spoke softly  caressing her baby's head who is going in sleep.

You know that we don't have future right.  Soon I'm planning to divorce you. Anika  abruptly look at him clutching her son "who woken up because of her grip  and started crying.

She blink her eyes and pat her baby's back "who got calm down and went back in sleep.    She about to say something but  bell rang disturbed  their conversation. 

I think food is here. Saying this he went and collect the  food.

I'm going to get the plates.  He kept the bag infront of her and went towards kitchen. Tears crossed her eyes thinking about their conversations. She don't know but it hurted her the way he said to her "he gonna leave her. She is doing everything for him. Handling all the stuff before he says. but she don't know " why he doesn't see it and ignoring her like she doesn't exist here.  

You are mine baby I won't let you go away from

Me. She whispered having cracking voice caressing her baby's head who is woken up again as her hot tear touched  his cheek. 

Plates are here. Hearing his voice she immediately wipe her tears and straighten up before he catches her crying or something.

This  was always my favourites.  but I don't know why radhika never liked it. Whenever I used to order it. we used to fight over it  and ended up binning it and ordering her favourite food. He chuckle passing anika plate of fool Chinese food. Anika look at the plate and not feeling to eat it after losing her appetite for having anything. but now she have to eat it for keeping his heart. She can't deny it saying she is not hungry.

What you looking at ??have It.  No one gonna come and feed you. He chuckle shaking her bringing her back  from her deep thoughts.

Yh I'm eating ".. she took some noodles on the fork and have them.  Tasting them she realised it's not bad at all.  Infect they are good and she liked them. But why her sister never liked them and fought with him on the silly things.  But she also knew that how her sister was moody. she always tried to be different from others. so that people could call her unique and exquisite.  that's why she never liked another choices clothes. even she remember in childhood when their  parents used to get dresses or toys for them.  Radhika always used to argue to get her toys and clothes despite her parents chose according to her choice.  But for being unique " she used to go opposite and take her stuff. whether inside she liked it or not. and being   Favourite in family"  As usual her parents used to insist anika to give stuff to her sister. 

Me and radu used to watch movie everyday. and everyday we used to get take out. She was so fun. Every week a picnic or party she used to keep. That's why whenever people see me alone. they ask me about her. but What can I say to them " our couple had got bad eyes on it that's Why she left me so soon and went to God. I miss her. I miss her so  much.  She was the first and last  love of my life.  When I had seen her first time. I just had got lost in her.  Her those  black  eyes those brown hair everything just spelled me. I never seen a girl beautiful like her. She was just something else " which  no one can imagine.  I wish she would had been with me. He smiles in tears rotating spoon on his plate" thinking about her and her memories. Anika exhale a long breath and kept her plate back not able to carry on eating

Err I'm done I'm going to keep plate back in the kitchen. Saying this she grabbed it and went away from there before he stopped her. She kept it on the kitchen and lean to the counter having thick layers of tears in her eyes.  She knows she shouldn't be jealous of her own sister. She was his first wife. so obviously he will love her more than anything. but sometime she hates when he praises her infront of her. The way he get lose  talking about her. it breaks her heart into

Many pieces. and she can't able  to collect it.Sometime she feels like " he deliberately praise his first wife ife infront of  her to make her feel jealous  and hurt on the same times. so that she  leaves him.

You didn't eat anything ??how come you were done

Anika.  Anika immediately wipe her tears and make presentable herself infront of him tucking her eyes down

I wasn't feeling to eat it that's why. She answered softly without meeting her eyes with him.

Why ?? You didn't  like it well or you are trying to copy radhika.  Hearing  him frown formed on her forehead and she glare him

I don't need to copy someone. I'm ok without it. and about liking disliking then i liked it. I would had ate all " if I'd appetite. but I didn't have it. that's why I couldn't eat. And please stop compering  me with her. as I don't like when someone do. Saying this she left from there before he stops her or utter something

Wait what ??? He  tilt his brow looking back but she was already gone from her. 

In baby's room she comes and  put ayaan in the crib and about to go to washroom " when shivaay entered in there stopping her way.

What the hell you said in the kitchen. He shout   Blocking her way.

Which you heard.  And if you didn't" then I'll repeat myself again.  I don't like when someone try to

Compare me with her.  She spoke sternly looking straight in her eyes

Have you seen yourself in the mirror miss anika. How can you thought that someone will compare you with my radhu. specially me "who knows she was way better than you.  You are nothing infront of her. Did you understand. You are not even equal to her one single hair. then how can you thought that I will see her in you.he stated in raspy voice giving her disgusting look.

That's good then. If you didn't. As i also won't like it "if you tried To find her in me. I'm ok being anika and that's proud thing for me. Now If you Will excuse me. I need to go washroom. she  look at him blankly and went in the washroom before he stops her.

How dare she "..how dare she Even talk like to me like this. he  grit his teeth looking towards washroom where she went inside.

In washroom

Anika  look into the mirror and splash water harshly on her face. She is feeling hell angry on him for comparing her with her sister. She is not even equal % of her.  sometime people Used to get confused  about their relation" after seeing Their  opposite nature.  They both were different like a water and fire. If her sister was  brat "then she was  most calm and silent girl. she never intended to hurt anyone not even in dreams. but her sister always behaved so badly with people. and was rude so much that she never cared how others Will feel with her words.

After five  minutes "She wipe her  face with towel and decided to go out after predicting he left the room.  She open the door and come out but next second she gasp with his sudden appearance infront of her like a wind.

I I thought you left ?? she stammers  staring straight in his blue eyes.

What you thought" you will Insult radhika infront of me "and I would let you go like this ha. How dare you how own earth you decided to call her spoil brat. He says holding her arms in his fists digging his nails in her soft skin

I said which was Truth. As I spent my whole life with her. and I know  how she was ... but I guess you couldn't  know after spending one year with her even. that's why you are praising her like this. Anika answered the bitter truth without giving damn to his anger.

Shut up anika otherwise. He  about to continue but she interrupted between.

Otherwise what ha " you will beat me then do it ... I'm

Not scared of you. Go ahead do it dammit.  But I'm

Not gonna lie infront of you.  I will tell the truth only.

And I guess somewhere you knew about it as well. but maybe because of your blind love for her making you not to believe on it.

Anikaaaaa he screams and pushed her towards the bed forcefully which caused her to hit her head with the bed and she collapsed there.

Aaaa she moan holding her head which started bleeding profusely having deep cut

Shut up woman " don't just don't you dare to say anything about her.  I can't hear a single thing about my wife. did you understand. It's my  mistake i shouldn't had shown you a little  affection because of that only " now you heading on my nerves. You don't deserve anything woman except my hate for you " which have been increased more than before.  I hate you anika. I hate you so much.  I wish you would had died instead radhika.  Saying this he stormed away from there in anger without looking back huffing in anger.  Anika moan in pain and try to get up holding her head" but her strength gave up and she fell back on the floor losing her conscious because of immense pain in her head.

At four am

Ayaan's eyes got open and he look around lazily  thinking his mother  would appear infront of him any second. but after two minutes " when she didn't come "fear surrounded him and he burst into  tears crying  hysterically.   Shivaay who was sleeping next room" his sleep Got broken hearing his son's wails. He try to shut his ears " but his loud voice Is still disturbing his sleep.  He groan and sat on the bed having grumpy face

Where the hell is this girl"   Usually she  reaches to

Him next second. as  she hear his cry. then what happened now ?why she is not picking  him up . I guess she went in deep sleep after fighting with me last night and why won't she  " when she got her all frustration on me. He shakes his head and got up slipping his feet in his shoes.

Where are you anika ?? why ayaan is crying??? he screams as he entered in the room. but got confused when he found the bed empty. 

God where she has gone. ??? He goes towards the baby and carry him in his arms " who is crying more and

More arching his back

Ayaan yaar stop crying. and where is your mother.  Ayaan  sobs and point towards particular thing "but his all attention on his son's face trying to Stop him crying.

"Mamma "he hiccups throwing himself towards the side where he can see mother " which makes Shivaay angry seeing this kid hypocrisy. In real he is the father of him and still this boy is loving her more than him. Somewhere he feel jealous of her being number one in his son's life despite being not his real mother.

Let's go In my room. When she won't find you here. she will Automatically come there. Shivaay shakes his head and about to head out " when suddenly he saw her foot other side of the bed. . Horror surrounded him  Having bad thoughts in his brain. He gulp his saliva and move towards other side of Bad and next second he got pale when he found her laying there unconscious having her head bleeding .

" Anikaaaaaa "He screams seeing her  laying there lifelessly. His son started crying more seeing his mother fragile state.
