Hey people....
Back with some random thoughts.....
Let's see if at all you can figure out or not which track I am writing upon....
Enjoy.......
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lost.....
But what can be done now. Within few minutes, he became alone, sparsed and broken. Fow words, few sentences and everything broke. The relations broke, the emossions evaporated and what was left behind was ruins and burnt reminants of the relationships......

He had lost..... Lost in front of Hatred.....

-*-

Broken......
Her state, seeing Him. But, She was helpless. Few words, few sentences and everything shattered. More than her broken state, His eyes were breaking her more. The glistering tears in His eyes snatched the breath out of her.

He was broken..... And she was helpless....

-*-

''When, money and power leaves you then the path of humanity and simplicity always helps..... Never think that this is the end.... This maybe the beginning of new journey... New era of mankind.... Never loose hope and remember that she will never leave you alone..... ''

The two hands were joined together and Her eyes and smile provided him the confidence that he had lost.....

The upcoming path maybe rough... But with her by his side everything seemed to be turn easy and smooth....

*2 years later*
*Kolkata*

''Aare Masi, yeh kitne ka? ''
''25 rupeye 1 kilo ka... ''
''Itna mehenga.... Aap pagol ho gaye hai... Yeh toh 10 rupeye me dena chahiye.... Mai 10 rupeye me hi lungi.... ''
''Lakin.... ''
''Dekhiye masi mai aapse pichle 1 saal se sabzi le rehi hu... Phir bhi aap yeh kar rehe hai... ''
''Aare, Anika beta itna kam me kaise du tumko... Aacha 15 me de du... ''
Anika: Thik hai de dijiye....
Vendor : Aur batao kaisi ho? Bahut dino baad aa rehi hu?
Anika: Haa... Woh kuch zaruri kaam me phas gayi thi.
Vendor: Aur Shivaay beta kaise hai?
Anika : Ekdum Khidkitod. Aacha mai chalti hu Masi. Ghar me bahut saare kaam pare hai.

Anika walked away from there. She was carrying the bag full of vegetables and it was quite heavy. Suddenly someone took the bag from her.

''How many times do I have to tell you that you shouldn't be doing such heavy work? ''

Anika: But it wasn't so heavy.

''Who are you trying to fool? Me, the Great Shivaay Singh Obe.... ''

Anika(sensed his changed mood) : Haa, so I want to do. And for your kind information Mister, you were supposed to come along with me. Why didn't you come?
Shivaay: Don't ask. That khadoos boss of mine called me at the end moment and said me to complete some stupid file. And why did you come alone? You could have asked Mahi or Abhay to come along with you. You know that you should be very careful about your health now.
Anika(wrapping her hand around his and leaned against his shoulder) : Nothing will happen to me. You are there naa to always protect me. Now let's go back home fast. I need to make dinner also.
Shivaay: Let's go Wifey.

They reached near a bike and Shivaay handed over the bag to her. They settled and zoomed out of the market area.

(Since I, myself is from Kolkata, so I would be using the locality names. If you want just google it to find out. )

*Rajarhat*
*Westwind complex*

Shivika's bike zoomed into the complex and halted near the parking area. Anika got down with the bag and then Shivaay too.

Anika: Mahi and Abhay will have dinner with us?
Shivaay(while locking the bike) : No idea. Ask your devars.
Anika: In the morning before leaving they said, they would be going out to the club. I think they wouldn't be returning before 2 am.
Shivaay(sighed): God knows when will they grow up. (taking the bag) I just hope they don't land up in trouble.
Anika: Naa, I have faith on them.
Shivaay: Of course. All the devars are bhabi's favourite only. Let's go.
Anika: Shivaay, you can't say like that. They are cute you see.
Shivaay(huskily): Then what am I to you Mrs. Shivaay?
Anika(blushed): Shivaay......

''Oh.... So sweet they are naa.... ''

Someone broke their sweet moment.

Anika: Aare, Aunty you here?
Shivaay(murmuring): Yeh Banerjee Aunty hamesa meri romance ki dusman banta hai.
Anika(warned him) : Shivaay.... Stup up.
B. Aunty: Nothing Anika beta. Just having a evening walk. But where did you both go?
Anika: Vegetable shopping Aunty. And not us but only me.
B. Aunty: Why did you go alone? You know right, you should be very careful during this time. You could have taken me along with you.
Shivaay: Exactly Aunty. That is what I am trying to say her for a long time but she isn't understanding only.
B. Aunty : Anika beta, you should be very careful during this period. Anything can happen. Just be careful okay. Shivaay beta, look after her well.
Shivaay(gripped Anika's hand tightly with an unknown fear) : Of course Aunty.... We will take our leave now.

Anika sensed his changed behavior and thought to confront him later. They took the elevator and reached the 12th floor. They walked upto their flat and entered. 4 BHK with a wide balcony and splendid view. It was beautifully arranged and decorated with their photos all over it.

Anika: You freshen up till then I will prepare for dinner.
Shivaay: I will help you. Don't start before I come.
Anika: Okay, Mr Baggar billa.

He smiled a bit and went towards their room. She caught his changed behavior. Why not after all, she knew him in and out.

Anika(thinking): Need to do something for changing his mood. Idea.... Candle light dinner.... Let's start.

She was about to run towards the kitchen when a warning roared.

Shivaay: Dare you run to the kitchen Wifey.
Anika(shouting back) : You are horrible.
Shivaay: I heard that.
Anika : As if I care. Hah....

She walked into the kitchen and instantly cut the vegetables and kept it aside for Shivaay to cook. Though, she now knew how to cook... Still he sometimes does it and she loved his hand made food, you see.

Shivaay(walking in) : All ready?
Anika: Yes, I have cut the vegetables for you. Whatever you want you make. I am going.
Shivaay: Where?
Anika: Aare, I have some test papers to be corrected. So I will do it till you make the dinner.
Shivaay: Okay, but...
Anika: Sitting on the bed with a pillow behind my back. I remember Mr. Protective.
Shivaay: You can never be out of stock with your new names.
Anika(lifting her imaginary coller) : That's my talent you see.

He nodded his head in disbelief and she sweetly smiled at him.

After half an hour, he was done with his work. He kept all the dishes properly with covers.

Shivaay: Let me call Anika for dinner. It's already quite late.

He went out of the kitchen and witnessed darkness.

Shivaay: Aare, why are these lights turned off?

''Because I have done it... ''

He looked up and saw his wife standing in front of him in one of his shirts looking extremely hot and sexy. He was shocked seeing her so bold.

Shivaay: Anika, yeh sab....
Anika(silencing him) : Sshh.... Nothing much Shivaay.... Just trying to be romantic with my husband.
Shivaay(wrapping his arms around her waist) : So that's the point. (she nodded) What else has my wife planned for me?
Anika: Why don't you see it yourself.....

He looked around and saw a small mattress set in the balcony with candles and peeping into their room, he could see it decorated with candles too.

Shivaay: Our bedroom and candle. Did you forget what had happened last time?
Anika: No, I haven't. That's why I have closed all the windows except one and kept the candles away from the curtains.
Shivaay(carenessing her waist under the shirt) : My wife has become quite intelligent now a days.
Anika: I was but you never acknowledged.
Shivaay(nuzzling his face into her neck) : Is it?
Anika(controlling her self) : Hmm.... Let's have dinner.
Shivaay(breaking the hug) : I am bringing it.
Anika: No, I am getting it. You wait for me in the balcony.
Shivaay: Okay....

He left her and went. She went towards the kitchen and set their plates. While doing so, she noticed his moves. As per her plans, he went inside their room. Taking this as her signal, she took the plates and arranged it on the mattress. She heard his footsteps and turned back.

Shivaay: Why did you do this?
Anika: Do what?
Shivaay: Made me wear this white shirt.
Anika(tracing her finger on his cheek) : So that, I can op....
Shivaay: You are becoming naughty day by day.
Anika: Are you not liking it?
Shivaay: I am loving it. But before all these, we need to fill our stomach.

They sat down and Shivaay pulled Anika towards him, which resulted in her landing on his lap. She was shocked but composed herself. Anika had surprisingly bought their dinner in one plate. Both of them enjoyed their time by feeding each other. After dinner, they were silently sitting with her in his embrace and enjoying the pleasant night view of the city.

Shivaay: Thank you. .....
Anika: For?
Shivaay: As if you don't know...
Anika:(remained silent)
Shivaay: Dadi was right.... Our jodi is takkar ki.... If one is sad, the other can feel it well and if one is happy, then the other is automatically happy.... I am blessed to have you in my life.
Anika: No Shivaay, I am blessed to have you in my life.
Shivaay: When, I lost everything.... You became my strength and didn't let me break......
Anika: Even, you also didn't let me break..... When I was alone.....

They hugged eachother tightly.

Shivaay(huskily): So let's start with our work Mrs. Shivaay....
Anika: I am eagerly waiting for it Mr. Shivaay....

Getting a positive response from her, he immediately picked her up in his arms and was about to walk away when...

Shivaay: Close the door of the balcony Wifey.

She giggled and closed it. He slowly moved towards their room and laid her down on the soft bed. He went towards the candles and blew them away while turning on the radium lights above their bed. He handed over her medicines which she took it sincerely. Slowly making her comfortable, he too slipped into the comforter beside her. He kissed her forehead, then her cheeks and finally her lips. The soft and tender kiss turned into a passionate one. They broke the kiss due to lack of oxygen. He went further down to her neck kissing her softly. He slowly opened the first two buttons of the shirt to reveal her cleavage. And rest because history for them......

Anika was sleeping peacefully with her head on his chest after their intense make out session. While Shivaay was admiring her beauty. He had his hand wound around her and kept lightly over her slightly bulged stomach. Yes, she is pregnant with his child and they couldn't be more happier than this. He, slowly traced his hand over it as if trying to feel for his baby.

Shivaay (speaking softly) : Come soon Baby... Papa cannot wait for you anymore... Mummy and Papa loves you so much.....

He lightly kissed over it and her smile widened. He kissed her forehead again and cuddled her to sleep.

*Next morning*
Sunlight peeped through the curtains and disturbed Shivaay's sleep. He slowly opened his eyes and saw his wife cuddling to him. He smiled and kissed her forehead lovingly. He separated her from him and went to freshen up. Not feeling the warmth, Anika flattered open her eyes and found the bed empty. She sighed and turned around to looked at the clock- 7 am. Time for preparing breakfast. She lazily woke up and went towards the cupboard to take her clothes for the day and keeping His cloths too. Selecting the same colour for each other, she walked to the other room to get ready. After bath, she returned back to their room to wear her accessories. She stood in front of the mirror and stared at her reflection. Though the kurti, she was wearing was loose to provide her comfort still she could appreciate her slightly bulged stomach. She tenderly placed her hand over it and smiled. Their Baby, their symbol of love.... Was growing in her womb and she couldn't help but smile. A hand slipped over hers. She looked and saw Shivaay back hugging while lightly holding her stomach.

Anika: Thank you Shivaay....
Shivaay: What did I do?
Anika: For making me complete again..... For making me experience the feeling of being a mother again..... For allowing me to carry your child again.... I thought after that incident....
Shivaay: Sshh..... No Anika.... Forget about the past.... It was the darkest phase of our life which we have overcomed now.... Let's think about the future and move ahead okay....
Anika: Hmm.... Shivaay, will you ever be able to forgive Baade papa for what he did?
Shivaay: I would still have done that if he had only attacked me or tried to destroy me... But when he targeted you and our first baby.... (she held his hand tightly) I can never forgive him.... Never....

The doorbell rang breaking their talk. Shivaay left the room to see who arrived. Meanwhile, Anika wore her mangalsutra and put sindoor on her hair along with few bangles. She wore her flats and took hers and Shivaay's bag to the living room.

Shivaay: Anika, Mahi and Abhay had come. You start making breakfast with them I am coming.

She nodded and went into the kitchen.

MaBhy: Good morning Bhabi.
Anika: Good morning... So what are we planning for today?
Mahi: Some pancakes and scrambled eggs with orange juice.
Anika: English breakfast? Nehi.... I want garam garam Aalo ke parathe with haari chatni.
Shivaay: No ways.... You are restricted to all oily food. Mahi, make some oats with some juice for me and Anika. And whatever you both want can make it. And no arguments on it.

Anika faked her anger and went out and sat on the dining table.

Mahi: Shivaay, one day won't be a harm for her.
Shivaay: I know but I don't want to take any risk.
Abhay: Bhaiya, at least a little. Her favorite Aalo puri at least.
Shivaay(sighed): Okay fine but a little only.
Mahi: Yeah! Let's make it.
Shivaay: No I will make it. You make yours and Abhay's. Otherwise, you will be late.

The brothers divided their work. In between, Abhay went and gave juice to Anika, who was still mad at Shivaay. Breakfast was ready and Shivaay took theirs. Seeing Aalo puri in front of her, the smile returned but she hid it immediately.

Shivaay: Still angry on me?
Anika: Maybe....
Shivaay : Okay, I am sorry Anika. I was just concerned about your health. I can't afford to loose you Anika..... You are my only family left....
Anika(cupped his face) : I didn't mean to hurt you Shivaay. I can understand your concern. I will not do it again. I can't see you broken Shivaay.... It hurts me so much.....

They hugged eachother. Mahi and Abhay looked at them with a sad smile. They knew everything whatever had happened and they can only be sad about it.

Shivaay(breaking the hug) : Now let's eat otherwise we will be late for work.

She nodded and Shivaay made her eat the oats first and then her favorite Aalo puri. Everyone winded up with the breakfast and left for their respective works.

*SJM International School *
Shivika reached the school and stopped. Anika got down and handed over her hemlet to him.

Shivaay: Take care okay and don't take to much stress.
Anika: Don't worry Shivaay, I will take care.
Shivaay: If you face any problem don't hesitate to call me okay.
Anika: I will take care of myself very well, Shivaay. Now you go otherwise your Boss will eat up your head.

He agreed to her words and kissed her forehead before heading towards his office. Anika kept looking till his bike went out of her sight. She prayed silently and went in.

*SK Industries*
Shivaay entered at the right time and went up to the 5th floor. He entered and greated all his colleagues. He settled down in his cabin and the first picture was of his Family.... The Family that had disowned him or rather he had lost it. He shifted his gaze and Anika's smiling picture captured his eyes. He smiled seeing it and started his work.

Shivaay, the manager of SK industries was handling the Kolkata branch of theirs. Though, he was a business man but he knew how to manage these too. Seeing his work, the MD of the company was quite impressed which gave him promotions after promotions. But, Shivaay knew that he needed to settle his house as well as Anika. So he gave up his promotions in exchange of the flat and increase in salary. Though, he was said that he would be getting these along with it but he refused to accept because he wanted to stay being a commoner.

Pion: Baade sahab apko cabin me bulaye hai.
Shivaay: Mai aabhi aata hu.

Shivaay saved his work and walked towards his boss's cabin.

Shivaay : May I come in Sir?
Boss: Sure, Shivaay.
Shivaay: You called me.
Boss: Have a sit Shivaay. (he sat) I wanted to discuss something important with you. I was thinking about investing in some new industries but I am not getting any partner for it. Though, you said that you never want to be involved in business. But I feel that you are the fittest one for it. So what do you think?

Shivaay was in a dilemma. He would be happy to do business again because it was in his blood to do business. But the thoughts of past haunted him. Due to business only, he had lost everything.... Everything. And now he only has Anika in his life which he can never loose. He feared....

Boss: Shivaay.... Are you fine? You seemed tensed. Oh, if you thinking about investing money then don't worry. Your part of salary which you never took it from the company can be used. And don't worry, you will be made the 50% share holder of the company.
Shivaay: Sir, can I discuss this with my wife and let you know about it?
Boss(teasing): You are a perfect example of Zooro ka gulam of your wife.
Shivaay(fake smile) : Nothing like that Sir. I have always considered her equal to me. And whatever decision I make I consult it with my wife first. Because she is my everything....
Boss(teasing): You love your wife so much.... I am damn sure she also loves you with the same passion.
Shivaay: More than me Sir.
Boss(sighed): Kaash meri biwi bhi mujhe aar thoda pyaar kar leti. But, kehena toh perega you are lucky to have her in your life.
Shivaay(slight smile) : That's true....
Boss: Now that we are going to work together... Stop calling me Sir. I feel so old.
Shivaay(hesitated): But how can I...
Boss: Oh just shut up.... Aur waise bhi, My and your wife works in the same school in the same department and they are like best friends. So why should we step back?
Shivaay: Okay.... Sir... I mean Suraj....
Suraj: That's like my partner.... (shake hands with him) Welcome to the world of business.... Mr. Shivaay....

Shivaay gave a tight fake smile and went back for his work. He was trying to distract himself from the conversation he just had as well as from the past.

Business was always his favorite. But due to this business only, He lost everything.... His family... His brothers..... His Naam.. Khoon... Khandan.... Everything.... He tried to make himself understand that he can overcome this feeling but he is still in the same place like he was 2 years ago.

Shivaay(thinking): I can't let my past effect my present and future. I have to try and handle my emosions. I can't let Anika know about this. I can't let her be in stress. I need to freshen up.

He walked out of the office to get some fresh air. He went the garden nearby to clear his mind. But in all this, he forgot to carry his mobile phone.

-*-

Fear.....
The feeling he felt currently sitting in front of the emergency ward of the hospital. He couldn't understand what to do. He was exactly at the same place where he was 2 years.....

Hospital.....
Emergency ward.....
Life and death situation.....

There was no difference between the two times. That time also His Anika was here and this time also His Anika is here. And ironically both the times along with their baby..... Yes.... Their symbol of love was again in danger.....

Shivaay recalled how got the information about it. He was in the garden when Suraj came and took him to the hospital. Hearing about his Anika being admitted didn't go well with him. On enquiring about it from Sandhya, Suraj's wife and Anika's colleage, he got to know that Anika had suddenly experienced pain in her stomach and she had even called him n number of times but failed to connect him. He cursed himself for being irresponsible and if anything happens to them then he can never forgive himself ever.

-*-

Slowly carenessing her cheek, seeing her flickering her eyes to open, he kept on staring at her. She finally opened her beautiful eyes which always held him captive. She leaned onto his hand feeling pleasure. Finally, looking at his, her breath got knocked out.

Broken......
The word , to perfectly describe his state. But why?

Suddenly realization drawn upon her.

Pain....
Breathlessness.....
Baby.....

Her hand instantly went her stomach as if trying to feel. It was still bulged but the difference was it was slightly more than before. People around her would not notice the slight change but she could easily differentiate. Still, she wanted to be sure about the baby Her eyes darted towards his, which showed happiness and relief. Their silent conversation was enough for her to understand. A lone tear escaped her eye and she closed her eyes in relief. He covered the distance between them by placing his forehead on hers.

Both were at peace now.....

-*-

Kaay's
The new word coming up in the business market. But who is Kaay or what is this Kaay's?

Kaay, the name itself was giving good vibes. So what is this ''Kaay's''? It is the brand new enterprise that had recently made a No. 1 position in the business world. And the most interesting fact is that it all happened within 3 months. From a small non-existant venture it turned out to be the top most company. But who is behind this Kaay's?

A simple commoner..... Without Naam... Khoon... Khandan.....

-*-

Shivansh....
Their new world..... After all it was all worth. After a long struggle of carrying him in her womb for 10 months and almost 15 hours of labor.

''Thank you for this beautiful gift....'', He whispered to her not wanting to disturb their baby's sleep.
''Thank you for making me complete.... ''

Shivaay(nodding his head in no while wiping her tears) : No more tears in our life. From now onwards everything will be happy and colourful.... (carenessing baby's cheek lightly) I will protect you both from every bad eye.... I promise.....

—*—

Shattered.....
The atmosphere of the Oberoi mansion..... Kalyani Singh Oberoi had failed to keep her Family together.... And she doesn't blame anyone for it.... It was just a game of destiny that played cruelly over them.

Dadi(seeing her husband's photo and then the white line dividing the house as well as their heart) : Mai haar gayi..... Mai apna wachan nibha nehi payi.... Mujhe maaf kar dijiye.....

Her cries echoed through the wall of the empty mansion. The mansion that was once filled with the laughters of her grandsons and her bahus, is now empty. The mansion creeped and suffocated her to the core. She wanted to run away from there but only held herself back in the hope..... Hope that her Billu and Anika will return and set everything right.....

—*—

Kept in front of him was an invitation to the awards ceremony to be held in Delhi. He has been nominated as the ''Most successful businessman of the year within short span'' . This is not the first time, that he is receiving an award. He had received many of them before also. But this time, he is not wiling to go. He feared that his past will again haunt his present and future which he can't afford to loose it. He has already lost many people in his life.... He can't afford to loose his Anika and his son.

Anika was silently standing by the doorway of his office room and observing his every action. She had no knowledge about the invitation but she could decipher from his actions that his past is haunting him again.

Past......
Itself gave chill shivers down her spine. How can she forget that fateful day of their life... Which snatched their Family from them....

'' Yes, I had taken those medicines to induce fake heart attack.... So that I can take my Sons away from your evil shadow.... You are nothing but an black spot on my Sons life. Not only you... Your wife is also a black spot. We don't even know about her Family or past and on top of that she is useless..... She isn't capable of being the Oberoi bahu.... Never.... ''

Shivaay(raged): One second Mr. Tej Singh Oberoi.... You are insulting me I will not mind but if you try to point towards my wife then I will forget that you are elder to me.... You have problem with me.... Then tell me what do you want?
Tej(raised eyebrows) : Will you be able to do it?
Shivaay: If I can leave the house due to the promise given to Baadi maa then I think I can do this also..... Because Shivaay Singh Oberoi never quits....
Tej: Exactly.... Shivaay Singh Oberoi never quits.... That why I want this Shivaay Singh Oberoi to break completely and that can only happen when you cut all your ties with the Oberoi Family.....

It came as a huge blow for them. Break all ties from the Family.... For which he is alive... For which he sacrificed his whole life..... How will he do that... How? Anika looked at Shivaay and his broken state shook her. 'He needs me beside me.... I can't let him break down.... '. She walked upto Tej and spoke in the most humble voice.

Anika: Tej Uncle.... Please don't like this. Don't break the family like this.... Please I request you.... Please.... And if you want I am ready to leave Shivaay and go also.... If my presence is responsible for this state of the Family then I will.....
Shivaay(angry voice) : Have you gone mad Anika? How can you even think like that?
Anika: Then what should I do, Shivaay. I can't see or let this family break like this because for you family matters a lot. Your life resides in this Family.
Shivaay: Just shut up Anika.... Shut up.... When you can't understand the intensity of the situation then don't talk.
Anika: Right.  I don't understand anything... Right.... I shouldn't be here at all.

She walked out leaving him alone. But they didn't know that some more danger awaits them.
Anika walked out of the house only to be knocked down by someone. She lost her senses and fell down. Someone came from behind and took her up on his shoulders and walked off.

Shivaay bid his brothers for the last time with a force happy face. He didn't know whether he would be able to meet them ever or not. He searched for her but, she was missing. 'Maybe doesn't have the courage to face them.... '

Shivaay's restlessness increaced to the highest level when he realised that his wife is missing since the morning encounter and now it's almost night. On one side, he was broken due to hatred and now her absence was killing him. 'I should find her.... '

His search continued but he failed to track her.

Anikaaaaa

His shouts were heard but no response back. He was going crazy. No, he can't loose her... He has already lost so many people in his today... No more please..... He prayed in his heart..... His Anika sensometer worked and he continued to follow his heart.... 'I am sure she is nearby.... '

An old factory ......
Tied chair......
Unconscious Anika.....
Drugs.....  

That made him mad. He was about to enter when a figure which he expected to be came up.

''Good job.  I am impressed... Now no-one can stop him from destruction..... Shivaay Singh Oberoi.... You are finished.... ''

Baade papa.....

It broke his last string of hope to return back to his family. But seeing his Baade papa's act, his everything broke. But First he had to resue Anika.

Veer.....

But I guess today is the world shocking day because the person behind kidnapped turned out to be Veer..... And shortly Swetlana arrived. So both are involved but how?

Swetlana: So what is your next plan?
Veer: To kill the baby that is growing inside her....
Swetlana: She is pregnant?
Veer: Yes and I am sure she doesn't know about it.  I have already given her one dose of the drug 4 more are left. After that she will not only loose the baby but also her memory.... Partial memory loss....... And then Anika will be mine for ever......

Shocked would be an understatement of the year. Shivaay couldn't comprehend what to do next. His brain had stopped working seeing and hearing so many things.

Shivaay(thinking): I have already lost so many people in my life.... I can't afford to loose Anika and our baby.  I need to save them.... But how? Police....

Gunshot.....
Siren......
Silent cries.......

''I'm sorry Mr. Shivaay..... But we couldn't save your baby..... And..... I am afraid that Mrs. Anika will ever be able to conceive again..... ''

He lost..... He lost his baby..... As well as Anika too......

Though she was physically alive but mentally dead after the incident. He had to stay strong for her but couldn't. He, himself was breaking within himself.

Anika(holding his hand tightly) : Don't think about it Shivaay. He/She was not meant to be in our life now. And I am not at all angry or disappointed with you. My Baggad Billa can never hurt me.  I know.....
Shivaay: I love you so much.....
Anika: I love you more.....

That day Anika had to be strong.... Had to keep stone on her heart to bring Her Shivaay back. She knew everything.... But still acted as if it wasn't meant to happen.

''You can come inside the room you know.... ''

Snapped back to the present time, she blinked her eyes. His Anika sensometer showed it's magic. She silently stepped into the room and went towards him. He slowly pulled her and made her sit on his lap. She silently laid her head on his chest to listen to his heartbeat. He held her in his arms and everything got solved.

Omkara Singh Oberoi stood in front of the mirror to set his suit. He has changed.... completely from a philosophic artist to an arrogant businessman.... just like his Father.... sorry Tej Singh Oberoi wanted to see him as. A hand crept on his shoulder. Looking through the mirror, he saw his wife standing with a tie in her hand. He turned around to face her. Standing up on her toes, with his hands around her waist to support her, she with graceful skills tied the tie around his neck. She, like a typical Indian wife gave a black kajal dot behind his ear to protect him from the evils.

Om: I don't feel good that you are coming along with me.
Gauri: Do you think I can stay back in the hotel room alone?
Om(sighed): But.... (putting his hand in her pregnant stomach) I don't want to stress you.
Gauri(putting her hand over his) : I am not at all stressed. And moreover the doctor has said to roam around for sometime also.
Om(defeated tone) : Fine..... But no jumping or getting excited.

Gauri salutes him making him chuckled. Yes, only his wife Mrs. Gauri Omkara Singh Oberoi had the power to make him smile and then their baby, who had filled not only their life but the lifeless Oberoi mansion with some light. But here also, Mr. Tej was no less. He has demanded a baby boy who can carry on his Family name. But does Om care? No not at all. From the time, he got the knowledge of his Great Father's doings, he couldn't help but feel disgust about himself being his blood. Now the question comes up how did Om turn a businessman? Well, he has just been looking after the well established business which his brother, Shivaay had made it using his blood and sweat.

Today was an award function and he has been nominated as the '' Business of the year from a non-business background ''. He would be happy about it provided his support system was beside him. But alas! Some dreams.... Remains dreams.....

—*—

Gone with the playboy look and baby nature, Rudra Singh Oberoi had become the ''Second most immerging business of the year''. ''Handling the Oberoi Fashion House wasn't a child's play'', the exact words of his wife, Bhavya Rudra Singh Oberoi. But she failed to notice the drastic change in him after his Superman and Superwoman's departure. It wasn't her fault too. He didn't let anyone know about his feelings openly.

Getting ready in the newly designed suit, Rudra looked not less than a Lady killer. But, sad he was already taken. Standing behind him was his brave police officer wife, Bhavya clad in black and red designer sari from his collection.

Rudra: So you are coming as my bodyguard?
Bhavya(rolling her eyes) : Yaa... As if I don't have any other work.
Rudra: Don't be angry now.
Bhavya: I'm not. It's just that.... (sighed) I just got to know something important.
Rudra(turning towards her) :What is it? Something serious?
Bhavya(playing with her pallu and murmured) : I am pregnant.
Rudra: What? Come again.
Bhavya: I am pregnant. (seeing him shocked) Rudra.... Rudra....
Rudra(hugged her tightly) : The best news after Chulbul bhabi's baby. (kissing her forehead) I am so happy. Thank you so much....
Bhavya(with tears) : Will our baby get the blessings and love of his/her Baade papa and Baadi maa?
Rudra(hugged her tightly) : I will make sure, He/She does.

Struggling with the coat button, Shivaay was being nervous. A pair of hands held his and released the grip from his button.
Anika.....
Exactly knows how to read my entangled mind. Cladded in a big sari with a diamond pendent and her chand bracelet, she looked stunning. No one would agree that she is a mother.

Anika: After so many years, I am again seeing you in your three piece suit. (carenessing his left chest) Just perfect.
Shivaay: Your faith in me has made it possible to do so. Today whatever I am, is just because you were beside me throughout my new life.... New journey... This small cottage of ours, my business, my fame is all due to you.....
Anika: I haven't done anything. Your determination and skills showed its true colours.
Shivaay(holding her hands in his) : Journey from Shivaay Singh Oberoi to Shivaay wasn't easy.... But you beside me... Everything was just perfect.
Anika: Shivaay..... Oberois will also be there today.
Shivaay: I know.... You are there with right?
Anika: Always.....

'' So, the awards for the Most successful businessman of the year within short span goes to..... Mr. Shivaay..... ''

''Shivaay... '',two whispers were heard...

Shivaay got up from his seat and forwarded his hand to someone. Anika stood up along with him holding their Son protectively in her arms. Both of them walked towards the stage to receive the award.

Host: A few words please Mr. Shivaay.
Shivaay: I would first thank the jury who had found me eligible for this award.  I would like to give special thanks to the person behind my success... My life... My wife.... Anika..... And not to forget my lucky charm... Our Son...... Shivansh..... Thank you.....

Shivaay walked off the stage along with Anika swiftly before the media could click their photos. They were almost outside the venue when a voice stopped them.

''Without meeting only you will walk away.... ''

Shivaay shut his eyes in pain while Anika tightened her grip over his. He looked at her eyes which said you can't back out now. He turned around to see his brothers and his lovely sisters.

Om: So, how are you Mr. Shivaay?
Rudra: How he will be? Of course, very happy without us. Right?

Shivaay stopped himself from saying anything. His brothers were talking to him so rudely which he can never stand.

Gauri walked ahead and stood in front of Shivaay.

Gauri: You did not even think about this Chiraiya. How will she stay away from her brother?
Bhavya(standing beside her) : And this sister too. You forgot about us so easily.
Shivaay(chocked voice) : I can never forget my sisters. Never....

He hugged both of them almost tightly. Anika was crying seeing the reunion. She looked back at her devars and saw their eyes filled.

Anika: OmRu.... Bhabi se nehi miloge?
Rudra: Nehi.... Aap dono bure ho.... I hate you both... I hate you....
Shivaay(shocked): Rudra.....
Rudra: What Rudra? Did you ever think about us? Did you ever think about Dadi? Did you ever think about Maa, Papa?
Anika(confused): Maa, Papa?
Gauri: Choti maaji and Chote papaji.
Anika: How?
Gauri: Many things changed in this 2 years Bhaujayi..... Many things....
Om: Let's go Gauri.... You need rest.
Rudra: Chalo Bhavya.... Let's not waste time on people who don't care about us.

That hurts.... Rudra's words hurt Shivaay. Om was being silent but Rudra's sharp words pained him. He stumbled back and his lost his hold over Anika. She turned around to see him Broken again.... But this time beyond repair.....

Anika(screams): Shivaay.....

Thud....

—*—

''Just a normal stress.... Nothing to worry about.  I have given him seductive, he will be awake by tomorrow ''

Anika noted every word of the doctor. Shivaay was lying on the bed and sleeping peacefully.

''Bhabi.... ''
Anika(without turning back) : You all have your dinner.  I am not hungry.
Bhavya: But Bhabi....
Anika: I said leave me alone.  You shouldn't stay hungry for a long time.... It isn't good for the baby.

Bhavya walked away dejected. Others were not in mood but still she had to feed herself as well as Gauri. With great difficulty, the food went down their foodpipe. OmRu were silent. No words....

Anika looked at Shiv who was sleeping beside his father peacefully. Shiv was always an understanding and cooperative baby. Though only 10 months, he can understand everything around him. She carenessed his face and dropped a kiss on his forehead.

Anika(sensing OmRu) : You aren't responsible for what happened today. So don't feel guilty.
Rudra: Bhabi, I really didn't mean all those words it was just....
Anika: In freat of anger.... in freat of childlessness.... You maybe show your emotions but I know you have pilled up all your grievances to be thrown it on us. But, I want to say one thing..... Shivaay is already broken..... Don't break him more with your harse words....

—*—

Dadi was standing on the front door..... Don't know why but she felt so that Her Billu is coming back.

Pinky too was feeling the same.... But she let them crash..... Not enough stable to suffer another pain.

Cars rolled in and two Oberois walked out along with their wives.

Dadi(with high hopes) : Billu kaha hai?

'How did she know? ',question roamed around their heads.

A cab rolled into the mansion. Stepping out of it was Shivaay.... Shivaay Singh Oberoi.... Nope... Only Shivaay.... He went towards the other side and offered his hand. Anika stepped out of it slowly carrying their son who was fast asleep due to the journey. He supported her and carried their luggage.

Dadi was overjoyed..... She called Pinky who thought what went crazy with her mother in law. Pointing towards Shivika, Pinky was shocked. She couldn't believe in her eyes.... Her son... Her daughter.... Is back... And not alone but with her grandchild..... Tears betrayed her and flowed down. Shivaay nodded no with a small smile and wiped it.....

—*—

''We need to go back Dadi... we can't here for ever... ''

Dadi: But why? This is your house... Your Family....
Shivaay: But I don't belong here.  I am not an Oberoi.....
Dadi: But....
Pinky: You will leave your mother and go again? Can't you see her sadness... Can't you see her pain?
Shivaay: You are coming along with us.... Provided you are ready to leave the Oberoi title and live the life of a commoner....
Pinky: I can do anything for you Shivaay..... I just want to stay beside my grandson and my Son and daughter.
Dadi: Mai kya karungi?
Shivaay: Is ghar ki raksha.... Aur is sunsan mahal me jaan lana.... Dadi, I am scared.... Scared to loose my small famiy.... 2 years back, I have already faced it.... I don't have the courage to cope with it again if something happens to Anika or Shivansh.... So that why... Till Baade papa doesn't allow me to enter his house... I won't.....

*3 Years later*
*Kolkata*

Anika: Shiv beta... come fast otherwise you will be late for your school....
Shiv: Coming maa.....

He ran down the stairs and sat on the table for his breakfast.

Anika: Beta, Where is Papa?
Shiv : He is getting ready.
Anika: Okay, you eat.  I am coming just now.

Anika walked up to their room and saw him dressed in normal shirt and pants.

Anika: Sight seeing?
Shivaay: Hmm... with some legal work regarding it.
Anika: Hmm.... Wo Mom was wanting to go back to Mumbai. Dadi is calling her to meet.
Shivaay : I will book tickets for her. Anything else?
Anika: No....
Shivaay: Anika.... What is the matter?
Anika: Nothing Shivaay...
Shivaay: So you won't say it to me?
Anika: Shiv questioned me something which I couldn't answered.
Shivaay: What did he ask?
Anika : Why don't you and me have a surname and why does he have your name as his second name? Don't we have a big family? Why is Dadi alone?

Feeling exhausted, she sat down on the bed. Shivaay sat beside her taking her in his arms.

Shivaay: Sab thik hi jayega....

—*—

Merger between the Oberois and Kaay's. But how is it even possible?

Shakti Singh Oberoi made it possible. With the changes in the relation, Tej Singh Oberoi realised it's values. But wasn't it too late? Nope, Shakti made it possible.

Dadi had light up the whole house with Diyas.... celebrating Diwali again.... Ram and Sita are returning along with Luv.....

Finally.... everything was over.... The long exile was finally over....

—*—
''Why can't you come with us? ''

Mahi and Abhay looked towards eachother. How could they explain that guilt was eating them up. Mahi, though not an Oberoi was heartily welcomed to the Family unlike Abhay who was a born Oberoi. He can't get over the fact that he tried to harm this pure Family.

Shivaay: OmRu, I need to talk to them personally.  I hope you won't mind. (they nodded no and went our) I know you reason for hesitation to come with us and trust me I will never force you both into it. Whenever you feel like you want to you can simple walk into the house, whose doors will always be open for you.

They smiled..... Bhabi was right.... He knows mind reading.....

''Mama......'', the small voice attracted everyone. Shivaay bent a little and the little boy towards him. He picked him up in his arms.

Shivaay: What's wrong Shiv?
Shiv: Maa said that we are going somewhere but Mahi and Abhay Mama are not coming with us. Why?
Shivaay: Because they have to go somewhere else.
Shiv: Why?
Mahi: Champ... like you go to school for becoming a big man....
Shiv: Like Papa....
Abhay: Yes, like that only me and Mahi Mama need to go to school to become a big Man.
Shiv: Just like Papa?
Mahi: Yes, just like your Papa.
Shiv: But there is also so many school. Why are going somewhere else?
Mahi(whispered): Should I tell a secret...... I don't like the school there.... But where we will go naa.... From there I will bring many many chocolate for you....
Shiv(twinkling eyes) : Really?
Mahi: Really.....
Shiv(showing his little finger) : Do Pinky promise with me that you and Abhay Mama will come back to us and with many many chocolates for me and my brothers.
Mahi: Pinky promise.....

A typical shade of Anika..... Shivaay could already see the next Shivaay in his son.....

Mahi: Shivaay..... We will surely come when (looking at Abhay) our guilt has reduced..... We promise.....

He smiled..... Because he knew that it would take another 2 years for them to return......

*2 years later*
*Oberoi mansion *

The next generation of Oberoi family had been the centre of attention of the Family- Shivansh(fully cardon copy of his father in looks, eyes and love for siblings) , Omi ( second artist of the house), Rudraya (silly and childish like his father with some strong will power of his mother).

And as calculated by Shivaay.... Mahi and Abhay did take 2 years to come.... But as only Mahi and only Abhay..... And from the time they have arrived Pinky isn't leaving a chance of showering her unconditional love on them. But how did this happen? Well, I guess her bahu had taught her some silent lessons which she had been applying correctly.

Everyone was busy with the boys and Anika turned to see that Shivaay was having light conversations with Baade papa. Some relations are progressing, she noted. Seeing, him free, she walked towards him and wrapped her hand around his. He smiled seeing her and dropped a kiss on her hair.

Anika: Are you still adament on not taking up the Surname Oberoi?
Shivaay: Absolutely.  I am more comfortable without it.
Anika(looking upto to him) : Will it not be a problem in future?
Shivaay(frowned): Why would it? Did Shiv ask something else?
Anika: No... But someone else might....

He became confused. She slowly placed his hand on her stomach with hers on top. His eyes widen understanding the meaning of it. He asked her through the eyes, which she nodded in conformation. He smiled at her to the fullest and hugged her tightly. She snuggled into his chest feeling great about it. He kissed her forehead tightly conveying his love for her.
