If you lose your confidence, You're lost. It's not a proverb, But the fact we face every day in the life. And the leakage of the video in the web. We heard it many times. In the news frequently but when it happened with you, You will get to know the real effect of it. A person named self-confidence will get lost from your life. There will be no person arguing in you to take up a challenge, You will be ready to reach the life of failure without even trying. You will get to know about the new you, Who will get to see only negative things from anything. And At last, You will become the person whom you never want to become.

"Ani. When did you come?" - She heard her father's voice. Even though she was awake, she acted like sleeping. Her father tried to wake her up a couple of times, But she didn't open her eyes. Tears crossed her eyes when she heard the door squeezing sound. She wanted to go and hug her father, Reach out her father and cry out everything but she didn't do that due to the lakhs of cross-questions raised inside her head which already imagined the circumstances after she did that.

At one point, She heard the door squeezing sound again. It was her father and her sister approached her with a breakfast tray. Her father smiled wide there was no sort of worries in his face but even though her sister was smiling, Anika could read the tension in her face.

"Alu parata with Palak, Di. Your favorite, Papa made it." - She said when anika turned around and tried to smile. Seeing her father's face she guessed, Nobody would have told him anything. Her guess was right when her sister slightly nodded no when her father looked at her.

"Thank you, Pa." - Anika smiled and had a seat. Anika composed herself as much she could. Her father took a seat opposite to her.

"Shivaay told me about your conflict with your colleague. And seeing your face, I can tell you how much it affected you, It happens in every field. We will tend to cross some people like that in our life. But that shouldn't stop ourselves. Understand baby." - Her father told while caressing her face which eventually invoked the tears. But she didn't let it down.

"I know, You will overcome it, Am I right?" - Her father asked. She could sense the confidence in his eyes but her inner voice said a No to her in an instant. She left out with no courage. She didn't argue with the negative rage flowing terribly in her mind, But in contrast, she accepted it. She ate the breakfast which her father fed after staying almost 24 hours in hunger.

Hours went, She had no idea about it. She just immersed in her world. She can talk it out but she decided to deal with it on her own. She refused to come out of her room. In these 23 years, She never stayed in her room for so long. Even moving to the washroom raised many doubts in her mind. She glanced at her washroom fully and then used it.

"Di, Shivaay is on call." - Bhavya gave her phone to her. Over then she realized her phone was ringing for the past 12 hours. She took the phone from her hand.

"Hello." - She spoke. Bhavya left her room. But there were silent from the other end of the call.

"Hello." - Shivaay spoke after a long pause. She sensed the relief in his tone. But there was nothing to get relieved the situation getting worse.

"What doin'?" - He initiated the conversation. She had no idea what to answer, She was sitting in the same posture for the past 12 hours.

"Nothing." - She answered finally.

"Hey, Why can't we go out for a coffee, Now?" - He asked her after reading the tone.

"No." - She denied in an instant.

"I mean, It's already late. And I am so tired." - She managed. But shivaay stayed silent on the other hand.

"Oh. Okay. So shall i." - Shivaay speech abruptly stopped when she disconnected the call saying bhavya needed her phone urgently and she said she will call him from her phone. Before shivaay could answer, She disconnected his call and didn't call him back.

*******

It had been three days since shivaay talked with anika, He didn't disturb her since then. He kept up his distance only because he respected her. But these three days was also very hard on him. He tried to focus on other things but he hardly does it. David called him a couple of times to talk with him, But he just keeps on ignoring him. Shivaay's mind was messed up with his dirty chat, He didn't want to show it to her but when she snatched the phone from him, He was helpless. Everything happened so suddenly when shivaay showed up with her in Seoul. He wanted to break his face and kill him in that spot, But the cops stopped him. Everything happened so quickly. More than Anything, Anika's disturbed state depressing him a lot.

"Hiding in the cabin won't help shivaay, Go and talk to her." - Om asked him while bumping inside his cabin. Om came back from his L.A before a few days, He was in Mumbai till Shivaay calls him and asked him to come back. Om didn't ask for the reason but there when his brother needed him.

He comes to know about it when he comes to know anika was arriving back with shivaay. He was shocked. But he didn't ask him anything. He knew asking anything about it. But when he saw shivaay in that state. He wants to push his brother to meet her even she didn't want him besides.

Ignoring him, Shivaay acted like working on the laptop. His eyes were tired which clearly said she didn't speak for the whole three days. He opened the app constantly just to feel her presence that she is just 30 mins away, Even though she was too close to him, He missed her terribly. Like he never missed her this much in his life.

"Stop Ignoring me, Shivaay. It's a very sensitive state. What if she starts thinking that you're ignoring her," - Om turned him around and asked him. His words stuck in his mind.

"But she asked me to give her some space." - Shivaay replied after a long pause.

"It doesn't mean you should leave her alone, That too, Now." - He replied in an instant.

"She's too sensitive now, Shivaay. Probably, She must have lost all the trust in men. It's natural. But eventually, it's also the time for you to shed off all the insecurities from her mind." - Om added holding his palm.

Right, Advise at the Right time. This is what shivaay thought when he recalled everything. He supported her but he never said that whatever happens, he will stay with her at the right time. This question will automatically arise in her mind when she has gone through everything.

"I think I should go." - Shivaay said looking at om. He nods at him positively. In no time, He grabbed his keys and moved to the parking lot. But he never knew the destiny is an expert giving shocks.

"Ani. Come, baby, Have dinner." - Her father called her when the time reached 8 in night. But there was no reply on the other hand. Harsh knocked on the door again but even this time, Anika didn't open the door.

Hearing them, Bhavya reached the door and tried knocking the door. But even for her, there was no reply. Bhavya got terrified, She didn't leave her sister for a while in these three days. She was just a way for three days.

"Papa, I think we should break the door." - Bhavya said with teary eyes. Her father looked at her in a panic state.

"What the hell happened, bhavya?" - Her father asked her.

"I will say, Papa. First please break the door. I am so scared." - She requested while tried opening the door. Tears crossed her eyes uncontrollably. She cursed her for leaving her sister even for a second. Her father called the servants and they broke the lock in the second attempt. Bhavya rushed inside, But Anika wasn't there in the room. But the water flowing sound from the tap reached their ears. And the bathroom door was slightly opened. Bhavya rushed inside. Her father and the servants stayed in the room.

"DI." - All were shocked to hear bhavya's scream.

"ANIKA." - Her father rushed inside, Bhavya forgets to close the shower, They both were under the shower drenched state. Anika was unconscious lying in the wet floor and Bhavya was crying having her sister in her lap.

"Please Di, Wake up. I can't take it, Please, Di" - She cried, Her hands were shaking, She forgets everything whatever happened in her surroundings. But her father held her in arms and reached out to the hospital. Neither Bhavya nor Harshavarthan had the energy to ask or say anything. They just needed her to open her eyes and say, She's alright.

Both bhavya and Harsh faced their worst nightmare when Anika was dragged in the stretcher unconscious. She was taken inside the emergency ward. The nurse pushed her father away when he was about to enter the ward. Bhavya cried uncontrollably when her father turned around her, She couldn't resist herself from hugging him.

"Papa. Di's bathing video. Leaked. Her colleague did that." - She told in between her sobs. She wanted to keep her father away from this information because of his health condition but when she saw her sister in that state. She couldn't stop herself. His hands which were holding her back thudded down. He falls on the seat behind him. There were no words left in him. He was shell-shocked.

"Papa." - Bhavya tried to get his eye contact but he was lost.

"Papa. Shivaay solved it. He hacked his account, The video got deleted. I swear papa. Please look at me." - She tried but he didn't hear anything.

Bhavya stood rooted when she saw shivaay rushing towards the ward in a panic state in a few minutes. He stopped walking when he saw them in a corner, Lost. Seeing him, Bhavya could feel how much he's disturbed. He was accompanied by Om who looked so shocked.

"Where's ani?" - Shivaay asked in a panic tone.

"Inside." - Bhavya said pointing her finger towards the emergency ward.

Everyone stayed silent when the doctor emerged out. She removed her glows and said its all due to the heavy dosage of sleeping pills and she's out of danger. Shivaay stayed silent but om asked bhavya. She said everything and looked at shivaay who was not even ready to meet her eyes while saying. His eyes stared continuously at the ward where anika got admitted.
