"This time, I won't repeat my mistakes again... I already trusted you twice but you broke my trust every time... FIRST ASKING FOR ABORTION AND SECOND ACCUSING ME OF HAVING EXTRAMARITAL AFFAIR..." - Anika announced him, This time she was clear, she will never ever going to trust him ever in her life. But his gaze, the truthness, his tears made her so weak. But she never wanted to trust him again. 

"Anu... Just listen to me once..." - Shivaay tried to stop her from leaving the room which he purposely got locked with her inside the room. He held her wrist tightly when she jerked him off and try to leave that place. He again dragged her to him and cupped her face forcefully. 

"Anu... LISTEN... just give me a minute, i will explain you everything... PLEASE..." - Shivaay begged her but she wasn't ready to believe him. 

"Shivaay... let me go... Avi will be waiting for me... please let me go..." - Anika asked him in a cold tone but he wasn't ready to leave her at any cost. 

"Here I came here to talk about Avinash... Please for the sake of him, Listen to me once..." - Shivaay asked her. 

"Don't even dare to call my son's name from your mouth which accused my character..."  - She shouted at him, He bowed his eyelids down but didn't loose his grip. 

"I can't get it, why you even bring him in-between us?" - Anika asked him. 

"Because he's not only your son but also my son, MY BLOOD..." - Shivaay shouted at her. Anika started to laugh hysterically. 

"Oh really, I thought you will get confused... because you accused me of having extramarital affair with neel, If that was true, You must confirm it, shivaay...because there are fifty-fifty chance, Avinash might be neel's son, Also right..." - Anika said and get a slap from shivaay at the very next second. but Anika didn't even think before slapping him back. 

"I know i hurt you a lot, But keep you hand in your heart and say, The love you can my eyes is fake... Am i really faking it? Ask your heart... please..."  - He asked while cupping her face and wiping off her tears with his thumb. 

"You didn't hurt me but you killed me alive... Whatever you're seeing now was just a leftover... What i didn't do for you? I left my family, I left my career... I left everything for you, Just to live with you... But you broke me apart, Cherry on the top, You snatched my daughter from me... After doing everything, how can you expect me to think from my heart..." - She asked him with teary eyes. Her each and every word poked his heart and tears flowed from his eyes without even his knowledge. 

"I know Anu... I broke your heart but I just want to say one thing, I am also broke as you... these five years, You were living in the hell thinking about my fake accusations, Even i was in the same hell, anu... For breaking your heart, For accusing you with that false accusations..."  - he said in a guilty tone. her heart became very weak on hearing him. her heart asked her to believe him but her brain didn't let her go like that. This time she heard her brain. But before she could ask or hear him anything. the floor started to collapse in an earthquake. In fear, she came close to shivaay who stood opposite to anika. They started to move, shivaay tried to open the lock, Over when the giant-sized bookshelf was about to fell on anika. 

"Shivaay..." - She yelled and closed her eyes. but upto her surprise, she didn't feel anything or heard any sound. she opened her eyes, Her eyes went wide in shock. she saw shivaay holding the bookshelf single-handedly while the symbol in his forearm sparked in yellow colour. 

Anika opened her eyes in the very next second And saw herself sleeping in shivaay's arm in the couch while cuddling him. But the dream she dreamed created a huge lump in her throat, she immediately gets off from his grip and kept her toes down, Upto her shock there was water upto her knee and the water level started to rise, she heard the sounds from outside in a very less frequency. 

"Shivaay..." - she yelled. He woke up in a jerk and shocked to see her house flooded with water. 

"Flood..." - Shivaay whispered.

***********************

Arushi and Avinash read those letters, After reading them, He understood the real meaning of love was nothing but sacrifice. They both knew the value of their lives and how their parents struggled to save them from the outside world. 

"Before i was a little upset with accha of why he didn't convince mom to abort me when i was in her womb, He could have convinced her but he didn't..." - Arushi said while immersing her in deep thought. 

"We both are precious..."  - Avinash exclaimed. 

"Yeah... we have been fool these days... we didn't understand our value, Instead, we cursed ourselves" - Aru exclaimed. 

"So what you guys are decided?" - Om asked them. They both smiled while exchanging the glances.

"Before telling our decision, I just want to thank you first... You actually encouraged my father to fight for his love and never left him even for a second..." - Avinash said.

"And we both are blessed to have parents like them... And i promise you, uncle, we will never regret our existence ever... but our decision is same, We are not strong like our parents... And we are not also strong to bring someone else in our lives After knowing about the biggest secret behind our existence" - Arushi said and om's face became dull after hearing their decision. 

That was the last time when om involved in their personal life and asked them to move on. But they didn't agree. Eventually, om and Gauri both stopped talking about that. Both concentrated on their work more. Avinash went to the US and very rarely comes back to India. On the other hand, Arushi's channel became an international channel from a national channel in these five years. Other than success one more thing was common between them, both were alone. 

Everything went well, until one fine day, Both Arushi and Avinash got a call from Om who asked them to come back home immediately and his tone was terrified, Both rushed back to India and met in the airport went home together. Both were shocked to see Gauri in an injured state. 

"What happened?" - Arushi and Avinash rushed to her. But she didn't say anything rather she looked both of them with teary eyes. 

"He came back..." - Om said to them and shook them to an extent. 

"Who?" - Both Arushi and Avinash asked in chorus. Om didn't reply but looked at them helplessly. 

"But Accha and mumma killed him, right..." - Aru asked them in a terrified tone. 

"He didn't die..." - Om said and shook both Avi and Aru.

"That's why i called you both... I don't want both of you stay separately..." - Om added. both Avi and Aru stayed in silent. 

"Now, How can we stop him from approaching us?"  - Avi asked him. 

"BY RELOCATING YOUR FATHER'S CORPSE..." -  om said to them, Avi shockingly exchanged the glances with Aru.

Dear son, 

We are fine here, yeah but missing you. For you, it's like twenty years but for me, i can count each and every second. How's om? okay, i just want to say. beware of everyone. we are still hiding and i don't know how long it will go but if you become self-independent and rich. we could able to protect ourselves. Control your powers. 

And about that girl,  whom you wrote for a paragraph gained my attention. Surviving as an only woman in the college isn't too easy. she's really great, Your sister is fine. call her daily. she's not studying properly. Now looking at her, i personally feel why i born as deaf and dumb. Neither able to speak with you nor hear you. missing you a lot my son. And that girl not only earned my respect but also earned my attention and respect too. Eat well, take care of yourself and please call your sister and warn her. 

with love,

Your mom. 

Dear mom,

I know what you're thinking, Please hold on. I just got wondered how someone can be so courageous, polite and cute in the same time. Exactly like my mother. HOW? 

But now i think i have to keep the distance from her as she became close to my roommate, Kavish. I told about him right. He's too mysterious, mom. At one point, he didn't leave a minute to disturb her but eventually turn on the lights for the whole night and reading. In that process, i couldn't able to sleep properly. Such a mad. But also weird.  When i asked him about his friendship with anika. Yes, Her name is Anika. BTW. he smiled weirdly. should i warn her about him?

And about Gauri, Why you stopped her from going to the dance class? you know right, how much she loves dancing? For your son, you have to permit her to go to the dance class. And take care of yourself. You know if you didn't take care of yourself, I won't able to stay in peace here.

With love,

Your son. 

Dear son, 

I am fine here, Gauri is taking good care of me. But i miss you to the core here. I permitted Gauri for her dance class, Happy now. And i know about you, if you feel something wrong about someone, you will not say just like that. So just go ahead and warn her once. Because In these twenty-five years, I never felt confusion in you. For the first time, I am feeling it in your letters. Just go ahead and tell her. But politely. It will be hard for any girl to trust anyone. 

And anika also will feel alone in that crowd. Oh my god, I am feeling very bad for the girl. Go ahead and warn her, And don't take anything to your heart, if she says anything wrong. And shivaay try to come to your Tamilnadu once. I desperately wanted to see you. 

With love,

Your mom.
