Shivikaa: A Mistake – Part 8

In Oberoi Mansion, At poolside,
All were njoying, (except Daadi) in the effect of drinks which was recorded in Rudy’s mobile……

Few days passed,
In Devi Mansion,
Shivaay and Araav bonded well, both personally and officially. OmRu often checked on Shivaay with Khanna. Devi was little uncomfortable with Shivaay’s silence about his personal life while describing his wife, she was curious to know more as the antics of his wife mentioned by him was very familiar. But she didn’t bother much, to interfere personally.

In Bangalore,
Anika” Mr. Khan how could you just prepone the meeting to 7pm, No I don’t want any exucses”, was shouting over the phone, “ clearly mention the investors that meeting will be held as planned at 3pm, No objections(sternly)” , noticed the two pairs of eyes who were wondering what made their mumma so tensed.

Uthra,” Mumma kovamaa en irukinga (why r u angry?), share with us na, she (pouted).
Anika (hugs her) “ No problem my Princess, just a small issue with the time, u know na ‘time and tide waits for none” , saying this drived her thoughts backwards…
( ‘Shivaay’ was the only word that comes to her mind, his thoughts and words were still fresh in her mind, these mere thoughts made her shiver like hell, his love, care, plead “don’t ever leave me Anika, I need your support in all walks of my life” ,made her think of her helplessness)

Dev (understanding some fear in his mom), “Mumma u r the best, pls don’t be sad” (hugged her assuringly)
Anika (lost in the innocent 5 yr old child’s innocence and love), “Y should Mumma be sad Wen both her little world’s are here” ,she reassured herself this
“ Ok Fyn guys now let’s stop our emotions and start packing do you remember tonight we have to go back to home”

Dev (cheered), “am sooooper excited” and rubbed upstairs while Anika warned him to be careful.
Uthra, “ Maa Pls, ‘don’t regret for the past which can never be rectified’ is what u often tell us ryt, now y r u bothering urself pls Maa forget it”
Anika (lost in her orbs exactly like that of her Shivaay), “ Ha meri pyaari (my lovable) baacchi (daughter)” , and nodded like a child
“Now rush to pack we’re already late by then I would come back attending a meeting” , saying so she left…..

(Uthra very well understood her mumma’s silence, eventhough she knew Anika wasn’ther own mother she knows her better than herself, she loves her so much and can fight with everyone for her, she dislikes people hurting Anika and is over protective about her)
In Devi Mansion,
(The house became lively after a long wait, Shivaay understood that the kids are returning home that day, he was really excited but covered it)
Arudra, “ Tharan I don’t want any mistakes today, u know what I mean ryt”
(Tharan shivered and nodded, this was noticed by Shivaay)
“And u remember one thing tonight lights off should not occur, Anika should never fear today is very special day for her”

( On hearing the word Anika spread shocks through Shivaay’s veins, and he dropped his important files thought to have misheard the name he excused himself leaving the files scatter)
“ Shivaay Ku enachu!!?? ( What happened to Shivaay!!??) (Surprised)
Araav, “ I’ll check him out”

At Shivaay’s room,
Shivaay, “what happened to u man!!?? Oh come on u might have lost it, but I have to confirm the name”
“ why do I feel it’s my Anika!!??”
(Araav just then entered the room)

“Araav I have to ask you sumthng, what’s champ’s Mumma Ka naam (name)?!!!?
Araav (confused), “Anika r u asking about her, have u met her before”
Shivaay,”Anika??!! ( Shocked), Noo I don’t know any”
Araav, “ Dev and Uthra are really attached to her alot, after my wife passed away”
“Suchitra, her thoughts are really different, love is what she knows and thus forgives everyone easily (thoughts estranged him), I’m sorry excuse me”
Shivaay, “ Why am I relieved now, maybe for Anika not being Araav’s wife??!!”
“Oh god what is happening to me maybe she is not my Anika”

In Bangalore,
(Anika on call informing Arudra about the flight in few hours, and safely boards wid the kids)

Precap: Anika is stunned……
