~~~Shivaay's POV~~~

I got the call from Dubai informing me that Michael is out of COMA.

I should be happy but...

"Say sorry to him on my behalf for not being there with him..." I spoke licking my lips to make them work.

MY MOUTH DRIED!

"I will talk to him once I get free." I dropped the call and sighed.

Everything is happening good and I should be happy but why is this even happening? I understand that Michael is out of coma its possible but... I How can I take it as a coincidence that Rahul just returned?

Ugh!

"Sir... There is no one in the house. I think mam,  Umm... Hallucinated." Khanna came and told me.

"I will see if she was hallucinating or not. I just want you to be alert all the time." I spoke angrily as I felt my nerves tightening without knowing why I'm even angry but I am just angry.

"Okay..." He nodded and left and I too walked back to the ward and saw Rahul and Anika laughing.

What even? Is it for real?

"Shivaay... You never mentioned that he is funny too." Anika laughed and I just smiled.

"You never asked..." I moved closer to them and sat on the couch near the bed.

I watched them as they talked about all the random things they could.

"Rahul." I interrupted their convo and they looked at me with a smile but I was serious.

"Yes, bhaiya?" He asked with an innocent smile.

"How come you with us? You vanished as you went to suicide. You weren't seen for so long and suddenly you appear. I want an explanation." I asked coldly.

I could see their expressions changing from happy to shock and then little sad.

"Are you serious Shivaay? Why does it matter?" Anika tried to defend him.

"Dead Serious. I want an explanation from him of everything. I want to know how come he reach us... he was in Singapore, Dead for us... HOW COME HE IS HERE NOW?" I asked my doubts out and this definitely hurt him and she seemed very angry at me and glared me as if She'll eat me out right now.

RIGHT HERE!

"I thought... I thought you will be happy seeing me alive but I guess I was wrong. I was happy to reach you and was thankful to GOD for this Coincidence but I think this shouldn't have happened. You are changed and... I should've died instead of being here." Rahul spoke with his voice cracking and tears rolling down, Pricking my heart badly.

"Sshh... Don't cry." Annie reached to him and wiped off his tears. "Shivaay I understand your concerns but that doesn't mean you will ask things in such harsh manners, Do you even know what your words did to him? Just STOP FOR NOW." Annie angrily spoke and I sighed looking down.

As if it's not hurting me but I can't digest the fact that he is here all by himself.

Am I over-reacting?

"My Mistake..." I avoided to look at them and walked to the washroom to hide my tears as they just rolled out without my concern.

This life is becoming hell now. I wish I was never born. Why everything complicated has to happen in my life only?

Since Childhood, I'm just facing problem and problems... I just hope nothing comes out as I'm thinking... Please!

Washing my face I walked out of the washroom and Annie was consoling him as he cried sitting near her and I saw how much they have changed with each other, FOR GOOD.

"Now stop crying. I will see how someone hurts you now. I will chop his or her head off." Annie told him and I chuckled drawing their attention and she smiled. "Even if it's your brother" She completed making me drop my jaw in shock.

"They kept me in here... In India. I somehow escaped and reached the nearby hospital and saw the cars which looked VIP so just hid in there... Then that turned out to be your car." Rahul suddenly spoke and I looked down with guilt as I doubted him.

"We are lucky to have you back." Annie caressed his hair and he smiled wiping his tears and I reached him and sat beside him.

"I'm sorry, I doubted your arrival here. You know things were not so great with us... So, It happened." I caressed his face and he nodded.

 "I understand bhai. After all, you're not bad to ask such things. Remember, Rahul's brother is a nice man." Rahul spoke with choking voice and I hugged him before he breaks down completely, But he still broke down in my arms and cried bitterly.

"Everything is fine now. Stop crying why are you crying?" I stroked his back and he sobbed badly.

I looked at Annie and she nodded with a sad face. I couldn't see him like this... I have never seen him like this... broken.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry." He kept on mumbling and soon passed out.

I hurt him so much.

Making him sit on the Wheel Chair I took him out of the ward and he was now admitted next to Annie's ward. Making sure he is fine I came back to Annie and she was lost in deep thoughts.

"I'm sorry." I apologized sitting beside her.

"You don't need to... I just want you to know that being tortured for so long is Traumatizing. We need to handle him carefully. You didn't do good by asking those questions to him. You know you literally triggered him but, never say it again." She held my hand and rubbed it gently.

"He promised me to behave well with me and he did what he promised. He opened up with me and told me all the naughty things you both used to do... All the memories of you both, he shared with me. I'm glad. I loved hearing him and I feel him." She told me and I nodded. "He was going to tell me something important too but you... Never mind." She smiled and kissed my knuckles.

"I understand what you mean but you too know that I was just too numb to think from his side." I smiled at her and she nodded.

"Yes. Of Course. I do. Sorry to behave the way I behaved a little ago." She pouted and I kissed her that pout.

"Leave that all." I looked at her belly. "It's difficult to handle, isn't it?" I asked kissing her big bump and she nodded.

"I've got a pain in my back. Let me lay down" She smiled and I helped her in laying.

"You'll be staying here till delivery now," I informed her and she looked at me shocked.

"But it's not really near." She raised her hand in the air.

"Yes, But they want to observe you and don't want to take any risk." I soothed her freaking heart by kissing her forehead and rubbing her hand.

"I wish... Everyone was here." She sighed sadly.

"Not again." I shook my head and suddenly she looked at me with something not describable.

"I want to tell you something... About Rudra." She spoke gazing our hands.

"Did he said something?" I asked and she nodded in no immediately.

"He called me and informed me of his holidays. He said he will visit us but... As Rahul is with us now, I refused to him. I didn't want any rift between any of you again so I just refused because..." I stopped her and nodded.

"I got it. No need to explain." I kissed her hand and put her to sleep whispering sweet nothings in her ear.

I walked out of the hospital to get some fresh air as I was feeling suffocated inside. Her words and his sobs were paining me.

I did so bad!

I understood what she went through when I was with Rahul the whole day. What she felt and why she stopped Rudra. I was just too... Dumb?

I'm not able to do justice to every relationship I have with others. I need to focus on everyone equally.

I felt something cold on my cheek and realized I was crying and they were my tears which turned cold with the air.

I need someone to help me...

I was busy staring the sky with silent tears rolling down my eyes, An unknown pain was there inside me. Something was stinging badly and I wasn't able to point on that.

Tring...

My mobile rang and it was a call from Dubai.

I picked up and heard mom's voice.

"Shivaay..." She sounded worried.

"Maa is everything fine there?" I asked and she sighed.

"Yes, I just felt like calling you. You know I feel that you're not fine." She emotionally spoke.

"Mom I'm not..." I let out a sob after telling her and I could hear her gasps as she heard me crying.

"Shivaay my son. Please, Don't cry..." She spoke in her motherly tone and today I realized moms are so important and precious parts of our life. Her mere voice soothes me.

"I'm feeling stuck. I don't know what I should do. I say something else and something opposite is going on in my mind and I do what is not good." I tell her holding back my sobs and she sighs again.

"You need to tell me what is the matter Shivaay. I want to know everything." She asked seriously and I explained her everything in detail from the day of Jungle to this...

Relaxed. I feel Relaxed.

"Shivaay you're an idiot to not inform us anything. Why you hide this? Well, I suggest you do not trust his actions. He might be the victim but there's definitely something fishy... You know maybe something worse is coming and that's what you're feeling." Mom said giving me goosebumps.

Her words woke my fear up and I started to think of all the possible situations which can happen because of his arrival.

"Maa... I'm scared." I told her and she smiled I could feel.

"That's normal. You've time you got the warning from your sixth sense and now you've to be careful." She told me and I nodded.

"Yes, you're right. Thank you so much maa. You helped me a lot." I told her and she chuckled.

"Shivaay I know our relationship was never like this... We never behaved like this but things have changed so you need to make it easy for yourself and me and behave like my child. You can call me anytime to share or tell whatever you want to... I love you, my son. Good Night." She dropped the call the next moment. 

She thought I will not reply?

I LOVE HER TOO.

I heard some sound behind me and was shocked...
