Anika felt sunrayss on her eyes and cool wind on her face. It was a sweet mixed feelin. She opened her eyes and got one of the shock of her life.
Her head was on Shivay chest and her left hand around his waist. Shivaay one hand was in her hair and other hand holding her hand.
She tried to get up and came out of his embrace and put her hands on her head as it was aching badly. She tried to remember the past night events.
Flashback plays in her head
Anika went to find Ishana but she was lying down next to Om with some distance between them but they were holding each other hands. Anika woke up Ishana and ordered her to go home. Ishana protested as she wanted to bid goodbye to everyone but seeing the anger  in her di eyes , she knewed her di authoritive side is back and right now she is not to be messed with .
They went and reached Kharbanda Mansion. Anika straight away went to her room and locked it .
Anika pov:
Flashback with her convo with shivaay plays after that :
Anikaaaaaaa , how could you do is ! You can't share your feelings with someone not even with Ishu at times. How come you shared such a heart to heart convo with that thatttt Mr.SSO. Well you still don't remember his full name just the initials hahaa!
Damn ,what he is doing to you . What he said was really true , can I really love ? Do love exist ? Is my mind really playing games with me coz of myPARENTS!
Anika childhood flashback
A small cute girl running around in a mansion wearing cute frock and a wide smile on her face towards her parents room.
Mummy ! Daddyy! Look look ,I have won.......
What I saw was my parents fighting with all sort of insults and abuses and their volume was louder then any speaker playing music in party. Their eyes bloody red and voice full of rage .
I was scared ,scared to death . But I couldn't tolerate seeing my parents like this . I tried to suppress my  fear and went in between them to stop their fight . They pushed me aside ,shouted on me and continued. I was crying, I wanted to tell my parents how much I hate when they fight like this . I slowly went to my room ,crying and crying with the certificate and trophy I won for securing first position.

My parents never had time for me . They had time to scold me without any mistake of mine . Basically I was a medium to vent out their anger after their usual fights. They had time to fight with each other but time for me , hahaaa! Never.
I craved family moments and love . But I never got 'em .
As I was in my teens , I saw all my friends coming up into relationships. And I also saw how badly they toured apart when it was over .
Basically what I noticed and understood through my family experience,my friends experience and all the events in general is that , people in the name of Love , just use the word love to use each other , to fulfill their physical attraction needs ,to take revenge  or even if there is a bit of love , they end up broking each other .
And me , well I was in love with just the idea of love coz I never witnessed it in my real life .
What my parents did to me made me believed that no one can ever love me . Like com'on if your parents can't love you , if you don't see your parents loving each other , your own blood neglecting you , then your belief from love is broken . That was the time, I started hating this word,Love. It existed for no more.

I used to get so many proposals but half of them were after my wealth and other half wanted me for my body . Noone ever tried to know my soul . And even if someone did then ..agh idk !
And me , I never accepted any proposal because of the fear . Fear of being hurt ,being broken like my parents ,my friends.
Gradually I was no more a smiling child . I suppressed my feelings and desires to be loved. I became heartless and I forgot how to smile . I put all my energies into building up my own empire . So I have my own lil world where no one can hurt me .
Flashback ends

But Mr.SSO , how easily he bring out all those emotions outside me which
I tried to suppress from years . Yesterday night ,how  easily he read my soul through my eyes and said,"You have feelings! Your heart wanted to be love , but your mind is stopping me."
Nooooo that's not true, oh shutup Anika that's the truth, my subconscious mind snapped back. I am tired of this war of heart and mind . What should I do ? Should I give love a chance ? Should I talk to Om about this , his the only person I can talk to about anything. After all he the only person I know who understands everything deeply and is not judgemental. Idk what's it is about him but his charisma do it's magic and makes sharing things with him just so easy. Ok done ,I'll talk to him after today's meeting.
Anika pov ends

Anika gets ready and wear her formals for a meeting and comes down for breakfast.
All are sitting at table.
Mr.Kharbanda- Beta , I guess it's time for you to get married. I had a talk with Mr.Oberoi . You and his elder son . When are you free so I can invite him?
Anika - What's the amount of profit you are getting from this deal?
Mrs.Kharbanda- Anika how can you say this? Is this the way you talk !
Anika- Oh please! It would be better if you don't give me the lecture about how to talk ,hahahah. And what you think , am I a fool?. I am very well aware of you two.
It would now be better if tell me the truth or else ..
Mr .Kharbanda - Ok Anika ! You are more smart then we thought. We are running in losses . And your marriage with CEO of Oberoi Industry will help us to regain our lost position. You anyway don't believe in love and all so what's the problem.
The half part of profit from this deal will be given to your company, now ok?
Anika- My empire is on No.1 today . I don't need your profits , han if you want then I can think about helping you financially.
Anika said this with a smirk on her face and in a taunting way.
Mrs.Kharbanda- Anikaa , this is beneficial for all of us. Think about it beta.
Anika- FOR YOU ! Not for me. Bye.
Anika leaves for meeting.
