And finally the bullet was taken by Anika….Shivaay and all the Oberoi family members freezed while Mahi, Ranveer and Kamini got shocked….Khanna came with Police and they took the Mahi Ranveer and Kamini trio……
Shivaay came into senses and screamed take the car out and rushed to Hospital………they were oberois and so were the priority …the best of doctors attended Anika ……….
Shivaay was roaming here and there before the operation theatre and rest of the Oberoi family members sat equally tensed…….
The operation was done indicating the green bulb out of the OT…Shivaay rushed as soon as doctor came out of OT and asked
‘’How is she? She is fine right ? I know nothing will happen to her..can I meet her ? ‘’
Doctor held Shivaay’s shoulder while OmRu rushed and stood beside him…………Doctor was scared to tell the truth as Shivaay wouldn’t spare if him if he doesn’t listen what he expects to listen………
Doctor was in thoughts …Rudra impatiently asked ‘’ why don’t you speak doctor ?‘’
He looked towards Rudra and said ‘’ We have tried our level best and took the bullet out , but ‘’
Shivaay ‘’ but…but what ?’’
Doctor ‘’But she has slipped into Coma… I am sorry …now nothing is left in our hands ‘’
Shivaay ‘’ what? How can she go into coma? Why did you not treat her properly…I want her back in normal state…do you understand …she cannot be sleeping in the hospital room half dead…I will not spare you if she doesn’t get normal…you know me very well…’’
Doctor ‘’ Relax Mr.Oberoi…I already said we did our best …now it depends on her …’’
Om ‘’ when will she be out of Coma then ?’’
Doctor ‘’ that’s a difficult question to answer may be in a day or months or years or never ‘’
Shivaay fell on the ground ……..Doctor rushed to him and called the nurse and ward boy to take him to room and make him rest
Pinky, Dadi and Jhanvi were crying uncontrollably seeing the state of Shivaay and Listening to the state of Anika…….
Shivaay was taken to a room and Anika was brought out on OT………..
Om requested the doctor to shift Anika to the same room where Shivaay is…Doctor obliged understanding the situation and ordered the same to his subordinates and excused himself……..
Everyone were terriblky sad and were in a crux who to see first Shivaay or Anika………..
Rudra didn’t enter the room and sat outside crying vigorously….Looking at him Soumya came to him and held him by his shoulder…Rudra couldn’t control and hugged at her waist and cried…Soumya was also crying……..
Om was the only one to show courage because he knew the power of Shivaay and Anika’s love……….
All the Oberoi members waited patiently outside the room for Shivaay to gain consciousness and final he gained …….
Shivaay turned to see Anika lying ina bed next to him and sleeping …may be sleeping peacefully for the first time …………….
He got down while nurse ran to him and asked him to lie in the bed….Shivaay glared at her angrily and nurse left the room without uttering a word……..
He slowly went to Anika and held her hand ………….
Nurse came out of the room and Pinky asked her how is Shivaay …Nurse replied he gained consciousness but he went to his wife…….Pinky was about to rush inside when Om stopped her
Pinky looked at him angrily , Om ‘’ Not now choti maa…I am sure Shivaay is fine and I also know he wants to be alone now…………he needs time and we are supposed to give him the time……..Shivaay will never allow his tears to come out in front of us…let him cry his heart out….he feel lite…please understand…their relation is not so weak to leave each other abruptly….’’
Dadi seconed Om’s words and Pinky peeped through the window and saw his son holding Anika’s hand and sitting there ……..
Pinky cried seeing state of Shivaay…Jahnvi and Dadi consoled her and asked her to go home….
Pinky nodded No but Om asked her to go and bring food for Shivaay , he also insisted Dadi and Jhanvi to accompany Pinky …all the ladies left…Shakti and Tej had already left owing to their work …however the work couldn’t be postponed for all good reasons…after all it was about Ranveer – Mahi and Kamini….
Om sat beside Rudra and Soumya while Chulbul came……
Shivaay was looking into void …………..he was reminiscing his moments with Anika…..the first being the pain he gave her ……..
He spoke ‘’ Anika I know why you are doing this to me…I know I gave you so much pain so you……. you decided to return the same amount of pain with interest……..how can you be such ………….if you really want to hurt me ..get up and fight with me…don’t talk with me…irritate me….but don’t be silent…………I will bear whatever you do to me but I cannot bear seeing you like this ……get up Anika…get up ….’’
Anika was still
Shivaay got up and left her hand and walked ……………he again came back and started saying
‘’ you want to show Tadi right ? but I already said when it comes to showing Tadi no one can beat Shivaay Singh Oberoi … so enough of your drama…you know I have so much to talk to you…we have to tackle many more things…so don’t show Tadi ….get up….Anika are you listening get up damn it…’’
He pauses for a while and says
‘’ok fine…you want me to accept…I accept you are the greatest Tadibaaz…yes see I accepted you’re the only greatest tadibaaz…I have agreed now …so please get up Anika…I need you …wake up Panika.or…or ‘’
His voice was choking with every sentence he was speaking and tears coming out……
Though OmRu Soumya and Chulbul couldn’t hear what he was speaking they were seeing Shivaay restless and trying to get her Anika back…
Now this scenario made even Om to loose his composure…..tears also started running through his eyes… chulbul saw that said ‘’No Om ji you cannot loose…it’s time you have to be rock hard and stand as a wall and hold your brothers….have trust nothing will go wrong’’
Om looked into Chulbul’s eyes and hugged him….Chulbul reciprocated…………..
Back in room …Shivaay cleared his voice assuring himself that Anika will not leave him and goes back to her and says
‘’ ok fine …you don’t care about me ..but think about Sahil ..he will be alone …how will he be able to handle if you keep lying here in this bed…I did mistake you are punishing me but Sahil didn’t do any mistake why are you punishing him ? don’t you any responsibility towards him ? you made so many big promises infront of me to him that you will take care and now how can you back off ?’come on speak out ? ‘’
Shivaay cried ‘’ Anika speak something …wake up…I am scolding you and angry …throw water on me as I am much angry on you …throw it Anika..throw it ‘’
Saying this he sat down …………
Nothing was working on Anika ……..
He wiped his tears and shouted ‘’ enough is enough …why did you take bullet when you don’t have the courage to survive? did I ask you to put yourself in trouble for me? Don’t you know what will will be my state seeing you like this? What sort of revenge are you taking from me ? is this a joke? Why don’t you reply ? I am asking you something? You know I need an answer so speak out now !!! ‘’
His scream of ‘’speak out now ‘’came outside the room and Om Ru rushed inside
————————————————————————————————————————————–
Shivaay glared at them and sat on his bed with his head down and hands rubbing against each other……………
Om Ru came and sat beside him on either side and held his shoulder………..
Om ‘’ Shivaay relax…she will come back …you and we , we all know this……….it will take time’’’
Rudra said ‘’yes bhayya…Bhabhi will be alright….’’
Shivaay smiled sadly and looked at om and Rudra and said ‘’ OmRu I need your help …will you both help me ?’’
OmRu ‘’ yes Shivaay/Bhayya say what help do you want…we are ready to give our lives to do what you wish for ‘’
Shivaay ‘’ see her…she is stubborn…..she is punishing me because I have hurt her innumerable number of times….she in angry with me………….but she is your best friend right…tell me she is your best friend right ?’’
Om and Rudra nodded in positive
Shivaay ‘’ you both never hurt her , you both are her best friends ……….will you both talk to her and ask her to come back …no no..not for me…atleast for you …. Say to her that I will be away from her …and it’s …it’s a pinky promise ‘’
OmRu were shocked listening Shivaay saying like this and hugged him and Shivaay hugged back and cried saying
‘’ I can’t live without her…ask her to come back…for me …for you both …for all of us……..talk to her ….OmRu talk to her…’’
Om pacified Shivaay saying ‘’ Shivaay , Anika Bhabhi will come back not only for us or Oberoi family but also for you ………you both are a team ..the best team to fight against anyone who is behind our family…..you cannot loose at this stage …you cannot loose’’
Saying this Om left the room…………..
Rudra went near Anika and said ‘’ Bhabhi…what happened to you…see I came and if you don’t get up ..i will not talk to anyone, will not go to gym, will fight with soumya for no reason and will not drink my protein shake also……….who will protect me from my big brothers who will support me Bhabhi…wake up Bhabhi …please ………’’
Soumya entered and took Rudra out and consoled him…………
Shivaay went near her and sat silently and later rested on her chest and listened her heart beat………….
He got up and sat straight holding her hands and reminisced all the lovely moments he spent with Anika ………he finally spoke up
‘’you cannot be like this for so much time Anika ……..you still didn’t say me if it pains when I am around you, when I look at you, when I hold you, when I come closer to you, when I touch you, when I kiss you ……..you haven’t said yet……..’’
‘’How will I live without you Anika…….i cannot see you in this state …please wake up Anika……….please……..he again rest on her chest and holds her hands and cries saying ‘’I LOVE YOU ANIKA and I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT YOU’’ … I have never said this to you but now I cannot control myself from saying this ‘’Í LOVE YOU ANIKA …I LOVE YOU SO MUCH ‘’
He gets up to see a lone tear coming out of Anika’s eyes……….he wipes the tear and in sudden shock he remembers that she is coming back ….
He shouts ‘’ Yes Anika wake up…I said truth that I LOVE YOU and this is the only thing I didn’t say you till now…for the sake of my LOVE wake up……’’
Finally Anika opens her eye and looks at him………..he hugs her and cries and shouts for Doctor running out…………
OmRu sees him and tries to stop but he runs as a mad man towards doctor room….
Meanwhile OmRu Soumy and Chulbul rush into the room and see Anika …Anika looked at them and smiled weakly…Rudra ran to her and hugged …….
Om said with his voice choking ‘’ You have scared us like hell…………does anyone behave as such ?’’
Doctor asked everyone to wait outside Shivaay resisted Doctors insisted and OmRu held him saying he has to be outside…………….
Om informed all the Oberoi Family members and they immediately rushed to hospital…….
Doctors did check up of Anika and came out ……….
Shivaay impatiently asked them ‘’ How is she? My wife how is she? ‘’
Doctor with a wide smile ‘’ it’s a miracle ………You did it Mr.Shivaay…she has came back…she is trong enough to fight back against all odds and now she is good ..but she is weak…she has to be in hospital for a week to gain her strength to minimum…don’t give her stress …..’’
Shivaay thanked him happily and also apologised for his earlier behaviour…………
Shivaay looked at her from outside while all the Oberoi family members went to her and were chatting with her ………..
Dadi came to Shivaay and said ‘’ Billu why don’t you go inside and stay by her ? she did so much for you …now take care of her ‘’
Shivaay smiled happily and said ‘’ yes dadi she did so much for me and now I will always stay by her…I promise ‘’
Anika was in room searching for Shivaay …everyone was speaking to her…Om observed her and understood her …..
Om ‘’ I think we should all leave now…Doctor asked her to rest and so we should allow her to take rest ‘’
Rudra ‘’ O you all leave …I have many things to tell Anika Bhabhi…I will be here ‘’
Om ‘’ Rudra grow up..you too have got married…it’s time she should be with her husband..’’
Everyone laughed shyly and Anika in her weakness blushed which didn’t go unnoticed by her husband……..
Finally rest all family members left and Shivaay entered folding his hands setting them at his chest….
Anika smiled…her smile was sunshine to him he too smiled but was teary eyed ….Seeing him she too became teary eyed
He went near her and asked ‘’ how..how are you feeling now ?’’
Anika ‘’ much better’’
They both stayed silent for a while and Anika broke the silence
Anika ‘’ don’t you want to scold me now?’’
Shivaay ‘’ no…’’
Anika ‘’ why? ‘’
Shivaay ‘’ because you gave me a punishment to remember for lifetime in these few hours ‘’
Anika ‘’ what did I do? ‘’
Shivaay ‘’ you didn’t speak to me…you didn’t hear me…you didn’t respond to me…you didn’t pacify me…in total you were not with me’’
Anika ‘’ this can never happen…I …I cannot stay away from you for much time ‘’’
Shivaay ‘’ I know…but this few hours were equal to some decades for me ‘’
Anika ‘’ I am sorry Shivaay ‘’
Shivaay ‘’ for what…for saving me once again ‘’
Anika ‘’ no I would always prefer to give away my life before some even attempts to take you away from me ‘’
Shivaay ‘’ why ?’’
Anika ‘’ because I cannot live without you ‘’
Shivaay ‘’ so do I’’
Anika and Shivaay looked at each other and together said ‘’ I LOVE YOU’’
Both looked at each other and Anika blushed heavily this time Shivaay too blushed ….
They both hugged each other and cried silently…………..
Later Shivaay kissed her forehead and stared at her lovingly ………
Shivaay ‘’ Promise me you will always stay with me no matter what…how much ever we fight…how much ever we sold each other…never leave me…because without you I am also a dead …’’
Anika stopped him from saying anything else and said ‘’PINKY PROMISE’’
Their little fingers crisscrossed each other’s and their hearts united forever and their lips had the happiest curve ……….
Finally their POWER OF LOVE brought the much awaited happiness in their life
