till you come back… ( ISHQBAAZ) part 20

Chapter: 20
After reaching home ishana and jhanvi helped pinky to room and dadi just looked at shivay who was walking aimlessly. She then called him and waited for him to respond but shivay was lost in his own thoughts. She then held his hand which made him automatically look back to her. he looked somewhere else to avoid her gaze and said.
S: dadi I am fine. You don’t need to worry.
D: fine then tell the same thing looking at me.
S: (giving a frustrated look) dadi plz can we talk something else. I am done with this topic now.
D: (making him face her) billu if you share your problems then you might feel better. Tell me what’s wrong.
S: (settling down on sofa) I don’t know what anika wants dadi. she is getting on my nerves these days. No not these but from the day I have found that she was alive. I really don’t know what she wants in real. Sometimes she will just say that everything will be fine and the next moment she leaves me clueless like this.
D: billu go to her and tell what she means to you and I am sure she will return back.
S: dadi it’s not that easy like you are saying. The girl is just out of her mind.
D: (smiling) well billu she has to be after all she is your wife.
S: dadi I am in no mood to joke around with you. anyways the day might have been tiresome for you so just get some rest.
D: (patting his cheek) billu everything will be fine. And above that pinky too needs time to get over the things. So, relax.
Shivay just smiled and dadi left from there. While in malika’s house malika was going on asking and asking anika the same question but she was not getting any reply. Finally, she came and stood in front of her and asked.

M: what’s wrong with you anika I am asking you something at least answer it damn it. (looking at dev) hello mister you were there with her right then can you tell me what happened there.
De: (shrugging his shoulder and nodding in negative) I don’t know malika even I was aking her the same thing during the whole travel.
A: (without thinking anything and breaking the talk between dev and malika.) dev can you book the tickets for goa.
De: (surprised) okay but are you fed up with me that you are planning to send me back.
A: (angrily but still in a moody tone) shut up dev I want you to book tickets for me to return back to goa.
M & De: (in unison) what but why?

M: (holding anika by shoulders) anika are you knowing what are you saying. Haan but why do you want to return back. Tell me the truth did shivay hurt you today.
A: (calmly) why would he hurt me malika? And there is no need for me to stay back. My work here is over and now I have to return back. That’s it.
De: (coming to them) that’s it how smoothly you said that. Anika why don’t you realize your family is here, shivay is here why do you need to go back.
A: (with a painful tone) I know dev that my family is here and I must not leave them but when I have no place there then why must I get back to them. The only option left is to move away.
M: anika but what will you tell shivay?
A: well I am not planning to inform him malika.
M: (shocked) what then are you planning to get me and dev killed for letting you go just like that?
A: (giving an impossible look to malika and then looking at dev) so you are going to book the tickets and that’s final.
De: but anika… (he couldn’t finish as anika left from there without giving him a chance to finish taking the car keys from him. He looked back at malika and said) you idiot why didn’t you stop her?
M: you could have also done that too. Why are you asking me to do then?
De: but she will listen to you. after all you are her friend right.

M: (in an angry tone she turned to face him and keeping her hands-on waist she said) oh really for your kind information mr. dev if I am her friend then you too are her brother.
De; okay… okay fine but why are we fighting over it. Do you have any idea of where might have she gone now?
M: (smiling) well do I look like a future teller to you (beating on his hand) that I will be able to tell you where might have anika gone.
De: why are you beating me I just said like that? Anyways let’s wait for her to come back. Well where is kavya.
M: amm she is in my room playing with my clothes.
De: (laughing) playing with your clothes seriously well don’t you think that it might be too big for her to wear.
M: (getting pissed off) are you trying to make fun of me… dev you are gone.
She started pulling his hair and he was struggling to get free. While anika was just driving not knowing where to go. All the events from her past the taunting showered on her by pinky all started flashed in front of her eyes. Today also she somewhere had faith that pinky would try to stop her but was sad that her expectation had been down. She was feeling bad that she had to make use of an innocent kid to make tia blurt out the truth. During all this thinking she had not noticed the car coming from the either side. And the time she realized it, it was too late for her. she tried turning the vehicle but her hands were shivering and loosing grip. And then all she could remember was she getting jerked away and then blank.
Shivay was feeling very uncomfortable and very restless. Omru on seeing him pacing around like this came in and om said making him stop.
O: shivay are you all right why are you roaming around like this.
S: it’s nothing om.

R: if it’s nothing then then why are you looking tensed bhaiya.
S: amm I am getting some kind of negative vibes. I mean I am feeling restless.
O: don’t worry it might be because you strained yourself a lot today. It will get better.
R: well bhaiya I am happy that the lady baba is finally out of our lives. But I didn’t understand one thing why didn’t bhabhi come back. I mean everything is sorted right then why didn’t she come back.
S: well I don’t have answer for this rudy. It would be really good if you and ask the same thing to your bhabhi. I am also trying to find answer for it.
While on the other hand some random person rushed anika too hospital. She was bleeding severely as her head was hit and she was immediately taken for treatment. In the mean-time dev called on anika’s phone for knowing where she was. and the person who had rushed her there picked it up and before he could tell something dev busted out.
De: where the hell are you anika? look at the time you know that kavya will be looking for you. come home naa yaar. Enough of your traveling alone.
Person: sorry who is this…
De: (confused he looked at the phone and then finding that he had called anika he replied) I am dev but who are you mr. and what is anika’s phone doing with you.
Person: woh I am sorry to say the person whom you called is undergoing a treatment as she had a car accident. I am giving you the address just try reaching here soon.
Dev just stood shocked hearing the accident. Malika who was standing next to him holding kavya asked him bringing him back to real world.
M: oye chimpanzee will you tell what happened that has left you shocked. (dev just tried moving away but malika stopping him said) wait… wait… wait… where are you going? Just answer the question dev.

De: (in a fearful and stammering tone) anika… ani… anika… she… is in hos… hospital.
Kavya who was busy playing with malika’s clip on hearing it dropped it down. She just looked startled at dev and then at malika and began to squeal. Malika just looked at her and then asked.
M: dev are, you even in your senses. Look tell the way you are scaring kavya.
De: malika can you do me a favour… if you can accompany me without any questions further and if possible inform shivay too.
Kavya was just wondering what was going on but she knew that something has happened to her mumma so she was just scared and was pulling malika’s hair to draw her attention to tell her something. Malika was just trying to calm her down but it was no point as kavya was not in a mood to understand anything. Malika somehow managed to inform shivay who just rushed out of the house like a storm. Om followed shivay as he felt something fishy.
Dev and malika reached there and kavya the dr informed that anika might remain unconscious due to shock for some more time and kavya just became quiet on hearing it. Dev tried diverting her mind but it was of no use. Kavya just cuddled on to malika trying to hold herself safe but she was just feeling at loss of safety. Malika just looked at dev as she had never seen kavya like this. The same time shivay came there and asked.
S: dev how is anika? is she fine. Are you both mad to leave her drive all alone.
De: relax shivay anika is fine. It is just the shock that she is unconscious don’t worry she will be fine.
S: but how did she get into this accident?
O: (coming there) but who is admitted in hospital shivay?
S: (looking at om) how many time have I told you om that you must not follow me?
O: I am sorry shivay but you left the house in such a hurry that I was worried so I just followed you. now if you are done with questioning me can you tell me why did you come here like this.
S: amm anika met with an accident and she is admitted here. Don’t know what should I do with this girl. Yaar she never listens anything.
M: it’s okay shivay she is fine now.
O: (looking at kavya who was all cuddled up) well what has happened to kavya. I mean why is she so silent.
De: haan I was coming on that… shivay she is afraid as she has never seen anika in this state, I mean away from her, it would be better if you try taking care of her.
Shivay looked at malika and then at kavya. He could sense the fear on her face as she was shivering in between too. He rubbed his temple and then came to them. Malika looked at him and then at kavya and was just rubbing her back to soothe her. she said.
M: truly shivay I have never seen her like this. I mean she is shivering in between. She is really feeling alone. do something yaar.
Shivay nodded and took her, but kavya just let out a sob. She just looked at shivay and moodily went to his arms. She for a moment looked at shivay and then looked back to the room where anika was admitted. All she did was murmur out something and then patted shivay with her tiny hands and then murmured something to him too. Shivay just felt numb on the emotions that was let out by kavya.
Dev went to dr as he was called and malika just sat on the chair and om just comforted her. kavya after completing her murmuring looked back at shivay with tears in her eyes. Shivay said in a comforting tone.

S: don’t worry princess mumma will be fine. And once when mumma wakes up and finds you like this then she will feel bad that because of her you became gloomy. So, just cheer up dear.
But kavya was still gloomy she kept her head on his chest and clutching the cloth which she got in her hands she clung on to him. Shivay just nodded in negative on seeing his own shadow in kavya. Shivay indicated om that he will come back soon and left with kavya. He came to the lawn nearby and made her sit on the ground and he supported her from falling down. He too sat facing her and said.
S: well I guess this atmosphere change will cheer up your mood princess.
Kavya just looked back at him and then tried getting in his arms again as she was after all SSO’s daughter she would not give up. Shivay tried many times to cheer her up but it was of no use. Finally, shivay picked her up and she automatically cuddled onto him. He just kissed her hair and walked in. while in between this om dropped malika and dev home and returned back to OM and shivay with kavya waited there.
He tried sending kavya but she was just clinging on to him or either cry which made everyone drop their plan to get her home. With a lot of difficulty shivay managed to make kavya sleep and laid her on the sofa. He then came near anika and looked at her pale face which had bruises and bandage. He patted her hair and said softly.
S: anika what was the need to drive when you have a disturbed mind haan? now look at yourself… what am I supposed to do seeing you like this.
He kissed her forehead and then holding her free hand slept. next day all in OM got to know about the accident and left for hospital. Tej and jhanvi had gone out so they were not there. While in hospital anika gained consciousness, and tried holding her head since it was paining her which in-turn disturbed shivay. he looked at her and said.
S: (in a mocking tone) I am glad that you finally showed your mercy by waking up madam.
A: (irritated she said in a meeky tone) shivay I am the one who is admitted in hospital not you, so better talk with me like all the family members do with the patients. Well can you pardon to tell where is kavya.

S: (pointing the sofa) she is still sleeping and I had a very difficult time making her sleep. Well she is very similar like me naa.
A: well are you planning to talk with me like this. (he looked at her confused she smiled and said) can you help me to at least sit shivay.
He smiled and helped her in sitting. He setting back the pillow said.
S: so, won’t you ask why am I here. You must have expected malika or dev right.
A: (smiling) well should I say truth or just a sweet lie.
S: hmm nice question, but since even if you tell truth it won’t affect me then it would be better if you tell a lie.
A: (nodding in positive) fine then you guessed it wrong I had expected your family to be here rather than you.
S: well kavya was all gloomy yesterday so I guess when she wakes up to see you fine and healthy like this then she might get back to her normal form.
In the mean-time kavya woke up and started throwing her legs and hands in air. she then made a meeky cry and sat up. Shivika looked at her simultaneously while kavya looked at the place where her parents were sitting and she just squealed happily on seeing anika awake. She tried getting of the sofa and this led her to almost fall but shivay held her back and he said tickling her.
S: my princess was getting on my nerves yesterday and today you are all good. You made it really tough for me to handle you. so, it is clear you missed your mumma a lot yesterday.
A: (Anika smiled on seeing shivay complaining and said calmly) kavya if your father is done his complaining then ask him to get you.
Shivay smiled and looked back at anika to find her smiling too. Kavya just giggled on seeing her mumma getting jealous of her. shivay kissed her cheeks and brought her to anika. that was the time anika realized that her hand was plastered she just looked defeated at him. Shivay asked confused.
S: what? Did I ask you get into the accident? You yourself are responsible for your situation so don’t expect any kind of sympathy from me.
A: really shivay… anyways at least make her sit on my lap then I will help myself.
Shivay just obliged and carefully placed kavya in her lap in a way that it doesn’t hurts her, but anika was little weak so she was not able to handle her. shivay helped her by supporting kavya and said ruffling kavya’s hair.
S: see princess your mumma can’t even support you. and she was bosting that she will be able to handle you and all and papa cannot. Now look at your mumma’s face. She looks really while getting defeated Haina.

Kavya just smiled and giggled looking at anika. she was just understanding the new hard items which was on her mumma’s hand and the hurt areas. She then murmured something in her own language and squealed at anika. shivay just smiled and anika looked confused at kavya. But this whole trance was broken by a single sentence which left shivika shocked and they ended up looking each other while kavya just looked around to figure out the direction from which the sound came…
Voice: oh, my mata… papa. Shivay what is all this? Who is this kid.
