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.
