Road To Success (SHIVIKA TS) Ishqbaaaz Part 1

“When will you tell Shivaay huh, that he’s illegitimate. I’m giving you 2 options, either go, and tell Shivaay about him being illegitimate or do something which will leas to Shivaay throwing you out of Oberoi Mansion. I need this to be done within 3 days.” shouted Pinky and left. To her extreme unfortunate, she failed to notice Shivaay who was standing right at the door of the room where Pinky just revealed every single thing about what she did and why. Shivaay not only stood, but heard everything. He felt as if the ground was slipping off his feet, his brain stopped working, his heart stopped beating and whatnot. He just rushed to his room, but little did he notice that Anika had noticed him running, but she still was unaware of Shivaay knowing everything. She ran behind him, and as soon as she reached to the room, it seemed like she had seen the worst view of her life; the entire room messed up, the bed sheet all torn, the cupboard doors opened, Shivaay’s coat (which he was wearing at the moment) thrown on the bed. Her heart started beating faster and faster as she tried to search for Shivaay. Soon she reached to the pool side, and was shocked to see Shivaay sitting lifelessly at the corner of the pool boundary wall. Anika slowly went towards him, and kept a hand on his shoulder, to her surprise, Shivaay quickly hugged her by her waist (since she was standing while Shivaay was sitting) and started crying terribly. Anika now understood that something extremely terrible has happened, which should not have. She quickly hugged him back, and kept on caressing his hair, in order to console him. “Shivaay what happened, please share it with me” she politely said, trying to pacify him. As soon as Shivaay felt a bit calm, he left her as she quietly came and sat right besides him and looked at him hoping that he’ll speak something. “Shivaay, please share with me what happened all of a sudden” she said. “Anika, a I’m.. I’m so sorr.. Sorry. I ddidn’t trust you whe.. When you tried to tell me abou.. About Mom. Never in my wildest dream I imagined that kom could’ve done this. I’m sorry. I’m very sorry” he said looking straight into her deep brown orbs, trying his best to not let his tears off. Anika felt completely out of words, as she realized that Shivaay heard whatever Pinky said. She just held Shivaay’s hand, and took his face onto her lap. Shivaay too hugged her tightly, as if he’ll never ever let her go. Anika kept caressing his hair, and when she noticed that how hard he was trying to control his tears, she very lovingly kissed his forehead, and said “Shivaay, it’s not good keeping your tears to yourself. They need to be released in order to reduce pain. This is the opportunity for you to reduce your pain, you know no matter what happens, I was, I am, and I’ll always be there for you to help reduce your pain..” She didn’t even complete when she felt Shivaay crying his heart out. After almost an hour of crying, he slept in probably the most peaceful place ie his beloved wife’s lap. In the morning as the sun shone bright, Rudra went to call his superman and superwoman for breakfast, as it was the first time that THE SHIVAAY SINGH OBEROI was not on time. As he entered into their room, he found it empty, he tried searching for them everywhere, but failed. He worriedly was about to go out of the room, when he noticed a paper kept on the dressing table with a paper weight, he went and picked it up, and what he read in it seemed like the biggest shocknof his life. Fresh tears started flowing down his cheeks as he rushed downwards. As he ran down the stairs, he caught everybody’s attention as they all stood up from their respective seats. “Rudra what happened?” said Om out of tension. Rudra just handed over the paper to Om as he stood their still, not being able to believe what his eyes just read. “What is it Omkara, read it aloud” said Mr Tej Singh Oberoi. “It seems like a letter from Shivaay” he replied still not being able to understand whatever’s happening. “Oh my Maata, Shivaay’s letter, read it aloud” said Pinky.

———– LETTER ENDS————

It seemed like everyone had lost their senses. It seemed that they all had lost an important part of their hearts. Even Tej seemed quite disturbed. Om and Rudra seemed extremely disturbed, as they still seemed like they weren’t able to believe what they just read. In all this, Shakti noticed one thing; there wasn’t Pinky’s name in the entire letter, despite of her being Shivaay’s mother. He secretly asked khanna to get him the CCTV footage of the room where Pinky went last night. To his butter disbelief, the recording showed whatever pinky said to Anika. He felt ashamed of her being his wife.

Meanwhile at an unknown place:
*Ting.. Ting..* the door bell rang. “Oh my God, who’s here now to create another problem in my life” said a man, who looked exactly like Shivaay, just excluding those uniquely kanji eyes of Shivaay. (So as you guys might’ve understood, it was Mahi). As soon as he opened the door, he was shocked to the core to see the apparently uninvited guests. “Shivaay, you here. Anika, you promised me that you’ll never put me into any problem then what is this all” asked a somewhat scared Mahi fumbling. Shivaay did nothing, but just hugged Mahi tightly. Mahi unknown of what to do, reciprocated the hug with enough affection. Obviously he would, since h knew that Shivaay was his own brother and this was the first time that he was hugging his brother, ever! After almost 10 minutes they both broke the hug, and Mahi curiously asked Anika and Shivaay about what happened. Anika narrated everything that happened at night, and also that she did a DNA test of him and Shivaay and the reports were positive, so she showed those reports to Shivaay as well. “Oh my God. This all happened, you got our DNA tests done, and Shivaay didn’t get angry at you?! I’m surprised” exclaimed Mahi. “Oh no, he got angry at me, but this anger was expected.” Said Anika as she went into flashback of what all happened when she showed Shivaay those reports after he woke up
****FLASHBACK STARTS****
(not to forget: he was sleeping on her lap as I mentioned before). “What is this Anika. I never expected you to do this, keeping me unaware. You too broke my trust. I thought that I have someone who’ll always share every thing with me, but see my fate, you too avoid sharing such important stuff with me.” said a furious Shivaay as he went towards the bed and sat on the corner. Anika knew how broken Shivaay was, and she wanted him to know that she’ll always be with him, regardless of the situation. She went to him, and sat on the floor right in front of the corner of the bed where Shivaay was sitting. She quietly went and kept her head on Shivaay’s lap, since he was sitting on the bed, and started crying. She wasn’t loud, but her sobs were audible to Shivaay. “Shivaay, I’m really very sorry. I know I shouldn’t have hid such a big thing from you, but what to do, I was helpless. I knew it that you’ll surely break after seeing these reports, and I did not want you to break, I did not want the Great Wall of Shivaay to break. This was the only reason I his this news. I wanted to share it with you, but again, the thought of you breaking always captured my mind, and I never in my wildest dream could let you break. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.” said Anika in a broken voice between her sobs. “Shush, Anika. I trust you. In my heart, I knew whatever you do would definitely be for my benefit” said Shivaay caressing her hair. After a while, he came and sat besides Anika on the floor and cupped her face while Anika kept looking into his deep kanji eyes which showed pure love for her. “Anika, you know that I trust you more than myself, even if the world is against you, I’ll be with you, no matter what. Please stop crying” said Shivaay trying to pacify her. She just hugged him as tightly as she could and he too reciprocated with the same affection. After they broke their hug, Shivaay stood up and said “Anika I need to pack my stuff. Can you please help me. Get a suitcase from the cupboard” he said. “Can both of our clothes fit in a single suitcase Shivaay?” asked Anika innocently. “Uh no, Anika right now I’ve got no place to live, so I can’t make you struggle. Once I find a proper place, I’ll take come to take you with me. I don’t want you to suffer because of me” said Shivaay patting her shoulder. “Shivaay how could you even think like this. I’ve told you before even, the person I’ve married isn’t Shivaay Singh Oberoi, he’s just Shivaay for me. So this house, these luxuries, all these don’t matter to me. What matters to me the most is being with you, supporting you, being your strength. And not being here all comfortable while you’re out there suffering. NO. I’m extremely serious, NO! We’ll start our journey on the ROAD TO SUCCESS, together. Wherever you go, I’m never gonna leave your hand. I’m coming with you, that’s final.” said Anika, being angry. Shivaay was not at all expecting such a response. Tears of happiness took over his eyes. He squeezed Anika’s hand with love, and hugged her tightly for a minute, and later kissed her forehead. “My Jhansi ki rani, go and get 4 suitcases then.” he said. “Why 4?” Anika asked out of confusion. “Uh, you’ve got so many clothes that your clothes and stuff will take 3 entire suitcases.” said Shivaay chuckling. Anika smiled seeing him happy after so many hours of misery. Finally, after getting ready to leave, Shivaay decided to write a letter for the Oberoi family. Tears were continuously descending down his cheeks, and the only support he had was Anika. As be finished with the letter, he took the bags and came out of the room. As he passed the room where he had his book shelf, Rudra had his gym, and Om had his art studio, he was not able to hold his tears. Anika stood in front of him, and wiped his tears. He again hugged her tightly and kept burying his face in the crook of her neck. She could feel his tears falling on her body. She kept on patting his back in order to comfort him. Suddenly, the clock rang, it was 3 am. This ring brought them out of the hug, and Shivaay held Anika’s hand, and both started their journey. Khanna saw them leaving, since he too was leaving for his home as soon as he got through with the security works and all. “Sir, ma’am, you guys here with these bags? Everything OK?” he asked being worried. Shivaay hugged him, for the first time, and whispered “We’re leaving from here forever Khanna. Make sure you take care of everyone here. They need you. You’re the only one I can trust officially for protecting this family”. Khanna being wise enough understood everything, but he wasn’t ready to stay without his Shivaay sir. Finally, Shivaay managed to make Khanna understand the situation and he finally agreed. They stayed in Khanna’s house until the morning, and left for Mahi’s place as soon as the sun rose.”
—————- END OF FLASHBACK —————

“Oh my God. This is what we call TRUE LOVE. True love doesn’t depend on Money, status, luxuries, backgrounds and all. All that it depends on is PURITY and LOYALTY, not for just show off, but by heart. Your love is a perfect example of what pure love is.” said Mahi, being proud of both of them. Shivaay and Anika looked at each other, while Shivaay lovingly winked at Anika, and Anika blushed. “Mahi, I’m so sorry. I never knew that you’re my brother, otherwise I would’ve definitely talked to you before.” said Shivaay sounding guilty. “There isn’t any THANKYOU or SORRY in brotherhood, Shivaay!” interrupted Mahi. “Also, I’m so happy that you guys came here. We’re all gonna stay together from now on. No arguments, that’s final!” he said in an ordering manner. Shivaay and Anika tried to protest, but seeing Mahi seriously order them, they obliged. “Okay, as you say. Bhai ka hukum sar aankhon per” replied Shivaay. Mahi showed them their room and asked them to take rest while he has to go to the market to get some stuff. After a while, after Mahi left. Anika went into the room and stood facing the window and started to think about the events that took place last night. Suddenly she felt a hand on her waist. She knew it was Shivaay’s, so she remained quiet. Shivaay moved further and back-hugged her, while Anika could feel his hot breathe in her neck which sent shivers down her spine. “Shivaay what are you doing” she whispered. “Even I don’t know, Anika.” replied Shivaay in a husky tone. Anika preferred to stay quiet and enjoy the moment. Shivaay kept holding Anika’s hand, and planting kisses on her bare neck, since she was wearing an off shoulder top. To their unfortunate, they heard a door screech, which meant that Mahi was home and since it was the first time that Mahi met Shivaay as his brother, their talks seemed like not ending at least until the next whole week.
The same day, while Shivaay and Mahi were talking in the room, whereas Anika was in the kitchen sorting out the grocery items. “Shivaay, I don’t know whether I’ve got the right to ask this question or not, but have you and Anika confessed your love?!” Shivaay suddenly coughed, kept aside the glass of water he was drinking, and said “You of course have the right to ask this question Mahi. Um, well actually I and Anika haven’t confessed our love yet. I don’t know what is the feeling we both have for each other, is it love, is it just fondness, or what. I’m seriously very unsure” said Shivaay, opening his heart to his just-met brother. “Let me help you. Now close your eyes and think about the word true love. Who comes to your mind? Imagine yourself alone in an isolated place. There suddenly comes a person to help you, who’s that person. Now imagine a girl only, please.” Said Mahi chuckling. “Okay, now think about your past incidents, who’s that one person with whom you feel free to share everything with. Who you know that is there for you only, on whom your life feels like depending, who you know that no matter what, will always be there for you. To whom, your money or surname doesn’t matter, but you matter, only YOU! So, tell me who’s that person?!” he continued, looking at Shivaay hoping for a reply. With his eyes closed only, Shivaay said “ANIKA”. Mahi was more than glad. “See, I told you that there’s love between you both. Finally you’ve realised. Yesss!” exclaimed Mahi, being as happy as he could’ve. His wide smile showed how happy he was for his brother….
