The upcoming parts in the chapter are very emotional. It can be disturbing for some people. But still if possible read the whole part🥺and comment🤧*

________________________________________________________

The most heartbreaking thing in this world for someone is to loose the one they love immensely. To feel the pain of the broken bonds. Unable to accept the harsh reality. That is what life is. It makes us feel all the emotions which we don't want to feel in our life. There is everyone who has felt pain in their life, not physical but emotional.
PAIN of leaving your parents while going alone in the kindergarten for the first time.
PAIN of getting separated from your best friends.
PAIN of going abroad to study, leaving your family.
PAIN of your first heartbreak.
PAIN of losing your loved one.
And
PAIN OF LOSING THE ONE YOU NOURISHED IN YOUR WOMB FOR 9 MONTHS. The feeling is terrible. It is INDECIPHERABLE!!!

This is the feeling Shivaay and Annika were feeling at the moment. The person for whom they were living for, the person who followed their lives with happiness, the person who made them mom and dad, that person left them with the pains of lifetime, no one can imagine.

After the white cloth was taken off the face, the shock was unimaginable for Shivaay and Annika. It was their son Viaan. At that moment all they wanted to do was change the past. Change the moment they went to the mall. Change the moment Viaan got kidnapped. CHANGE EVERYTHING. Shivaay was in shock and Annika she was just numb.

S(stammering): V...i....aan.....

I: So he is your son.

Complete silence. No one answered anything.

I: Well there are some belongings we got when we found him. Here you go.

The police handed over a tray of Viaan's stuff. It contained a locket with VSA carved in it, a gold bracelet, a red marvel cap and his clothes, drenched in blood. Annika shifted her gaze from the body to the items the inspector just introduced them to. With trembling hands, she touched the locket and picked it up. A tear slipped down her eyes when she caressed it. Three letters were carved on it; VSA which meant Viaan, Shivaay and Annika, the complete family. Well now an incomplete one💔....Annika started breathing heavily and suddenly shouted....

A: Viaaaaaaaaannnnnn

And suddenly she collapsed, falling unconscious but was held by Shivaay at the right time. Scooping Annika in his arms, he left towards Oberoi Mansion, with tears in his eyes. What more was to come in his already complicated life. What more pain was left for him to suffer, for her to suffer. For them to suffer. No words came out of his mouth. Ya what was left to say....💔 he realized that he lost. Lost protecting his son, lost in consoling his wife, lost in being the SSO who protects his family. THE SHIVAAY SINGH OBEROI LOST.

1 1/2 hours later:

Its been hours since Annika was unconscious. The family was broken. They lost their nephew, grandchild and great-grandchild. Dadi was sitting crying with GaVya trying to consoling her. OmRu were at the hospital with the inspector as Shivaay told them to go. Pinky was unstoppably crying sitting on the sofa with her head buried in her hands, while Jahnvi beside her shocked with the happenings. Shakti and Tej on the other hand were numb. What more could they say. No words could explain Oberoi's grief. While there was one soul who was felling all sorts of emotions hitting him as a wave. NOTHING CAN BE MORE DEVASTATING THAN LOSING YOUR CHILD. He was feeling excruciating pain, numbness, trauma, complicated along with feeling of INJUSTICE. Why would he not. This was the first time he asked for something in his whole life but god didn't fulfill his ONLY wish. He thought, why only the. Why god only has to give them pain. Why god had to snatch their child only. Why why why??? Non-Stop tears were slipping down his eyes. He tried his best to control himself but he couldn't. How will he console the mother of his "dead" child, his wife. How will he console himself. HOW???

Annika opened her eyes shouting Viaan's name. He sat on the bed while Shivaay wipes his tears and helped Annika to sit. All the family members came to the room hearing her shout. She maniacally started looking here and there for someone. Shivaay who understood her emotions knew whom she was searching for. Broken again... Pinky immediately sat beside Annika on the other side of Shivaay to handle here.

A(panicking): Shivaay where is Viaan? Tell him Mumma is going to make milkshake for him and that too chocolate one with extra syrup. He must be playing outside right.? Bring him inside fast or else he will fall sick. Its very hot outside.

Everybody cupped their mouths trying to prevent crying in front of her.

A: Say na Shivaay where he is? Do you know I saw this weird dream. I don't even wanna say it. It was horrible. Dreams also, only bad and scary ones will come....

She chuckled. Shivaay had tears in his eyes. Annika knew the truth but acted to not know it. Or tried avoiding it.

S(holding Annika by her shoulders): Annika that was not dream.

A: What are you saying Shivaay... how can you say that... and one second how do you know about my dream.

P: Annika beta that was not dream. Really our Viaan......

She couldn't complete and bursted our crying.

A: What is this joke. Is this any kind of prank and all of you are it it right? I know maybe Viaan is also along with you guys. Everybody loves to trouble me, I know. Now please stop all this and let me go out and check on Viaan.

Shivaay tightly held Annika by her arms and made her face him. Annika was startled for a second his his red eyes and tight hold.

S: Annika that was not dream. Our Viaan...(stammering) really.... in... r..ea..l he... left us...

Pin drop silence.....

A(stammering): No you ..... are ly..ing... he is my baby.... my Viaan he will never leave me. You are lying Shivaay....No... no...

P: Annika hold yourself.... accept the truth.

Annika looked at Shivaay for few minutes and then finally broke her silence by crying. She kept her head on Shivaay's chest. Shivaay kept his hand on Annika's head, crying along with her.... Annika was uncontrollably crying along with other members of the family.

Two days later.

Dressed up in white clothes, contrasting with dull and gloomy faces, the Oberoi family was present for the last rituals of late Viaan Singh Oberoi. Everyone was sitting around the body of the little one whose body was wrapped around in white cloth, except his face. Annika was sitting expressionless beside her son, only caressing his head. Shivaay was sitting on the other side only staring at his son's pale face. Both of them were lost. The priest was chanting some "mantras" and when he was done, they were ready to carry his body to bury him.

(In Hinduism, children under the age of 14 are buried)

Shakti kept his hand on Shivaay's shoulder to bring him back from his imagination. Shivaay who was startled, looked at his dad's face and knew that this was the time. He stood up and picked up Viaan's body along with OmRu, Shakti and Tej. Annika who felt the body going away from him shouted.

A: Where are you taking my son. Leave him. He will stay with me. With his mom.... leave my son.

Annika tried to pull Viaan's body towards her again but Gauri held her from behind at the right time. She pulled Annika away, giving the men space to go for the last rites. Annika who saw her son going away shouted and screamed but they didn't stop. She was dejected as she knew that everything cane to an end. She fell on the knees crying, repeatedly saying her son's name, only to be consoled by the rest of the ladies.

An hour passed when Shivaay and the men came back home, emotionless. OmRu were holding Shivaay who was extremely broken. They stopped outside the entrance as they had to clean themselves with holy water first before entering the house. All the men picked up the buckets and poured the water on themselves. Shivaay went to his room only to be broken again. His wife was sitting on the bed still in her white clothes, with Viaan's things scattered on the bed around her. HIS PICTURES, HIS TOYS, HIS CLOTHES, HIS ACCESSORIES EVERYTHING. And Annika, she was looking at them, well to be precise staring at them. He went near Annika taking slow steps and sat beside her on the edge of the bed, keeping a hand on her shoulder. Tears slipped down his eyes involuntarily.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

(Plz listen to this song. Its Beautiful)

A(with no emotions in her voice): Our Viaan was so cute na. How happy he used to be.

S: And naughty also

A: Hmm... see this picture, this was when he came to us for the first time. When I picked him up in my arms for the first time. The time he made me a mother.

S: And me father.

A: And this one. when he crawled to me for the first time. And then while crawling he tried to get up and then fell on his bum... (she sadly laughed) he looks so cute crying.

A: And this one when it was his first birthday. And day before that he caught fever. Stressful days they were. But see he looks so cute in the Batman costume... my baby

A: And this one when he cried while going to kindergarten... it was so hard to manofy him.

A: And this when he was playing football with you and OmRu...so sporty my baby was...

A: And this one when we went to his school annual day... he was best in everything. In studies, in sports and in extra curricular activities. He was so nice na Shivaay.... and look at this locket...

She caressed the locket and held it close to her heart. Shivaay took the locket from her hands and wrapped it around her neck. Tears slipped down Annika's cheeks. She saw Shivaay and hugged him tightly who hugged her back, voluntarily crying too.

A(crying): Why my baby Shivaay why my Viaan?? He did nothing with anyone. He never troubled anyone except his little bit of naughtiness but he was a good boy. My good boy. Then why did god have to snatch him from me. We got him after so many prayers. 4 years Shivaay. We were blessed with him after 4 years of prayers and hard work, then why did that god have to take away my baby from me.

S(consoling her): Annika maybe he was not meant to be with us. Maybe this was where our togetherness was written till. Maybe god loves him so much that he called him back.

A: No Shivaay this is not fair. This is not done. No. Please bring my baby back to me. Please Shivaay I beg you. Tell him that Mumma is missing him and she will always fulfill his wishes. She will never tell him to drink milk or send him to school. He can play how much ever time he wants to play. But please tell him to come back... please Shivaay....

Shivaay hugged Annika tightly. Annika hugged Shivaay tightly. Now only both were there for each other to console, only they were left with the grief buried in their hearts FOREVER.

The relationship between parents and their children is the most intense one in the world. Children are the one who make parents feel a new emotion and gives them happiness of parenthood. While parents are like that one large tree who provides them with shadow of love and care and nourishes them.

A CHILD IS INCOMPLETE WITHOUT HIS PARENTS AND PARENTS ARE INCOMPLETE WITHOUT THEIR CHILD.

So this is the end of the emotional two shots. I know everyone must have felt terrible and heartbroken seeing a kid die but that's the harsh reality that it's not necessary for your dreams and life to always be a happy one. There can be tough times but with the support of your loved ones, you can overcome it. I'm sorry if I made anyone cry...🥺
