To say that Shivaay Singh Oberoi was heartbroken after his divorce would be an understatement. He tried to appear normal in front of his whole family but Omru knew better. He reverted back to the old Shivaay Singh Oberoi, the cold hearted one, the minute he signed those divorce papers. Those damn divorce papers.
Three months have passed and nothing has changed. He is still as heartbroken as he was the day he threw her out of his home and life
forever. Though he has managed to conceal his pain by moving on. At least that was what he told himself everynight before he went to sleep - that he no longer needed her or loved her but he forgot one think that he could lie to the entire world but not to himself.

Three months. The hardest months of his life. To add insult to injury, Om slipped into a coma a few days after Anika left. He hasn't still recovered. Shivaay Singh Oberoi was no all alone except for Rudra of course.

Shivaay its all going to be okay Ragini would try to placate him by saying these words over and over again but her words didn't matter to him. The only person which could console him was gone forever . He needed her in this difficult time but she wasn't here. She had betrayed in the most unimaginable way possible. He had only felt this much hurt one other time - when he thought that she had spent a night with Daksh. It drove him insane to even think about her with someone else.

He knew that she was still living with Chanda at her place and was jobless. After all he was the reason behind it. He wanted her to grovel in front of him for help. Of course he would never deny it after all she also had to take care of Sahil- who shivaay considered to be a younger brother. He just wanted her to come back into his life once again. He knew that he couldn't be the one to bring her back after everything she did but a part of him hoped that one day she would beg for his forgiveness and mercy. But three months had passed and she hadn't caved yet. She was determined to get a job after all the rejections. He was shocked .After every thing she had done, one thing was clear- she was a gold digger but if that was the case why hadn't he heard from her for alimony. She could have approached the court easily. It was her right after all. At first he though she must have sold the expensive kangans he had giftet her but he found those in their bedroom drawer.
It irked him that if she wanted money all along why hadn't she demanded it yet. Why was she living in a shitty chawl when she could live in any luxurious place she wanted. Maybe she was forced to do all this for a reason said Shivaay's heart repeatedly but why would she do such things argued his brain.

Shivaay was snapped out of his thoughts by a call from Khanna. Yes Khanna.

A few minutes later Shivaay sat on the couch seething with anger and opened the pictures Khanna had mailed to him. Those pictures were of
his ex wife sitting in that chawl drinking tea with a stranger. This stranger was Samar jeet malhotra . To say that Shivaay was furious would be a gross understatement. He was livid that some stranger had approached her out of nowhere in the middle of the day and offered her tea.
He couldn't see her sitting close to any man other than him.

He ordered Khanna to keep tabs on Anika after their divorce. He wanted to make sure that she and Sahik were okay. He was glad that he made this decision. He knew how dumb Anika was when it came to understanding the advances of men. She made that mistake with Daksh and considered him a frienf but he wasn't about to let that happen this time. It didn't matter to him that she had hurt him and his entire family at that moment. All that mattered was protecting her from the this man . He knew that Samar was Ragini's brother and even though she was his really good friend he still had his reservations about her brother. The truth was that regardless of Samar's intention towards Anika it wouldn't matter. Even if he was genuinely trying to console her it was wrong. No one was allowed to enter his territory ever.

That night he visited the chawl and saw her by the window looking at the moon . He could see it clearly - her haunted face. She looked as broken as he did. All he wanted was to comfort her but he couldn't. He made a feeble attempt to convince himself that he hated her but to no avail. There was no point in even trying. How could he hate her after all the time they had spent together.

He swore that he would buy the chawl from Samar jeet malhotra . He wanted to control every aspect of her life and torture her and he knew just the way to do that. He wanted her to beg for his mercy atleast once. He wanted answers. He was about to leave when few goons approached him. He could have easily fought them but he had a theory to test. He knew that she could feel him the way he felt her presence. He struck a deal with the goons and they started beating the shit out of him in exchange for his belongings. Shivaay waited eagerly but she didn't come.

He had given up hope but then he saw figure emerging from the direction of Chanda's house. In an instant he knew it was her. It had to be.

Shivaay screamed Anika and ran towards him. She turned around to face the goons and started shouting at them - do you know who he is ? He is Shivaay singh Oberoi. How dare you? He can destroy in a second. Anika was in her jhansi ki rani mode now. Shivaay anticipated that she was about to take her chameli when he gave his belongings to the goons and asked them to leave. But there was one thing he kept with himself
His engagement ring. He could never give that ring to anyone. That ring was symbol of his undying love for his ex wife.

His train of thoughts was broken when he felt Anika checking his wounds. Oh my god Shivaay you are bleeding. Come on. She took him inside and made him sit on the bed. They both spoke nothing whilst Anika cleaned his wounds but their eyes did the talking. There was pain ,desperation and anger in both of their eyes though more in Shivaay's.

Finally Anika broke the silence by asking him a question. Do you want to call someone to pick you up. Everyone at home must be worried about you especially dadi said Anika looking at the clock. It was indeed very late.

Relief. Relief is what Shivaay felt after three months. Her talking to him after three months was what made it course through his veins. The other day when she had called and he had picked up it took every ounce of will power for him to disconnect that call. The call that he had been waiting for for three months.

They know i come home late these days . He finally spoke. On any other day he would have talked to her with such venom enough to make her cry. But not today. Today he needed one night when he could just not hate her.

You can stay as long as you want came Anika's voice . Chanda and her family are out of town anyway. It is also raining. You can go when it stops if you want. Her voice was meek as she was scared . Not of him but of him being there with her a dream.
Anika was standing away from him mantaining her distance because she knew being close to him would only make him worse.

Oh how she wanted to hug him and kiss him . How she wanted him to make love to her and make her his. She never wanted to be touched by any other man other than the one sitting in front of her on the bed.

When he said nothing , she headed towards the bathroom to change her clothes. She emerged from the bathroom wearing that black dress cum suit she wore that night- the night shivaay wanted to be their first . Seeing her in it made his breath hitch and he started making his way towards her.

To say that she was shocked would be quite an understatement. She knew how much hurt he was by her actions. Shivaay what are you doig she asked him her voice half trembling.

What do you think and then he...
