After few hours

Annika was slowly gaining conscious, trying to open her eyes she took in a deep gulp pressurizing her strength to wake up.Indeed it was like ,a new birth for her as she has already thought that it was her end ...it was her last day .But she didn't knew the fact that , with shivaay along ,she's always in safe hands ,no matter what .

The nurse immediately went and informed shivaay and pinky who were waiting outside. At once pinky rushed inside ,even shivaay stood and ran through halfway but ,...he halted .Whatever he has gone through within these few hours, no one could even think of it .He might be a strong grown up man ,but still the small chotu annika's idiot is somewhere lingering in him which was pulling him back being stubborn.Even when the Dr, had assured him that she was out of danger ,and she was fine now ,He didn't leave her for a second, he just sat beside her constantly glancing on her. It was then pinky who called him to arrange for the medicines which the dr had prescribed, when he left her .

And now ,he really wanted to see her but stubbornheads ...suddenly his heart  demanded a pampering from his paanika ,for all he has went through. He wanted to scold her harshly or show some "nakre noor jahan ke "in annika's style.

Inside the ward

Pinky stood beside annika ,cupping her face she cried.

A- aunty ...(she muttered in a weak voice )

P- ye kya kardiya tumne annika?kitna dara diya tumne...kya huwa tumhe ?I never thought you these ,(nodding negatively) did I do any mistake in bringing you up ?Meri bachi aise...(she cried more)agar tumhe kuch hojatha na ,tho Yami muje kabhi maaf nahi karegi. Didn't you have trust on me?

A- I'm sorry aunty (she moved forward, hugging pinky she broke down )I'm sorry ,..sorry .I didn't know what to do, I didn't want to leave shivaay and I didn't want to let you down .(she stressed the word) Uss waqt...(interrupted)

P- you should have spoken to me about it (she pulled out from the hug and spoke),tuje kya laga ?Tumse jyada muje ye shaadi important hai?Nahi annika ,I may not be your mother ...but mere liye tum mere hi bachi ho .For you ...for your happiness ,I can do anything (She cupped her face )

Annika looked at her with teard eyes ,even she looked up to pinky as her own mother.She wasn't sure whether her own mother could have been so understanding like pinky if she was alive .

P- If you had waited for little more time ,by this time you would have got married to your idiot (she chuckled while wiping annika's tears )You and him getting married! I couldn't be more happy for anything other than this ,(she kissed her forehead )Just keep one thing in mind annika ,whatever happens ...mein hoon ,tumhe hamesha support karne ke liye ,hmm? Don't ever think of these stupid decisions,Jab thak ye teri pinky aunty hai ...tumhe,...

Again she pulled annika in a crushing hug and caressed her hair while letting out her still pouring tears. Then annika slowly tilted her face to look at pinky and spoke

A- aunty ,shivaay ?(with guilt face)

P- He was right here ,(confusedly )kahan gaya hoga ?ek minute .

She came outside and stood baffled to find him leaning on the wall ,closing his eyes .

P- shivaay .

S- mom ,mom how's she ?She's fine right?Is she feeling any pain ,boliye na mom ?(he insisted holding her hands )

P- arey, you yourself come and meet her na ? What are you doing here? She's calling you ,come .

He stood silently nodding his head in negative ,

On the other side ,annika knew that he was doing this deliberately. Who could know him better than her ? She knew she did,deserve some punishment from him but now ,at this moment she was dying to meet him .She was ready to ask for tons of apologies lifelong ,but for that too ...she needs him .She needs her idiot now.She wanted to run to him and hid within him ,to hug him ...hug him till eternity.With a sudden urge of seeing him ,she managed to stand up from the bed and tried to walk .

But still not being  recovered totally ,she stumbled due to which she tried to catch hold of the basin stand beside which fell down making a noise.

Hearing this ,he could no more stop his legs from rushing inside. Opening the door ,he became worried to see her stumbling to stand while tracing the wall for support. At once he reached near her and made her sit on the bed carefully while all she could do was just stare ...stare at the man she loved .He gently placed her legs on the bed and turned to move .

No ,not now...she wasn't ready to leave him .A strong hold of her's just held him back from leaving. But he didn't even turn back to look at her ,all he managed to say was

S- you aren't fully recovered yet ,you have to rest now .

Saying which he tried to get free from her hold and on the other side she  tightened her grip more.

S- chodo muje ,(his voice was shivering which clearly showed that he would break down in any passing moment )

Somehow she put her strength and made him turn towards her and soon he could feel her hiding her face in his abdomen and crying hysterically while her hands were encircled around him.

A- shivaay...shivaay ,shiv...

Her words dried as she hugged him so tightly such that her full face was blocked by his stomach .He ,who wiggled to her hold first then gradually placed his palm on her head while the other hand was wound around her shoulders .

S- how did you even do this annika ?(he finally let out his voice which was still struggling in pain )didn't you think about me  atleast once ? My annika was never a coward  to take such a foolish decision. Jaan hi nikal gayi mera ,(his tears didn't stop)tuje pata hai kitna gussa aaraha hai tujpe?(he gritted his teeth while crying )

She slightly looked up to meet his eyes while still clutching his abdomen .

A- shivaay ,sorry ...sorry shivaay .Kabhi aise nahi karungi mein ,

S- soch na bhi mat,(he warned with a daring voice and cupped her face )dekho na...Still my hands are shivering (showing his hands) ek pal ke liye ,aisa laga jaise mein mar raha tha ,

Instantly she closed his mouth with her palm ,showing her pain in her eyes when he spoke about his end.His tears didn't leave their space from his eyes till now ,because it wasn't any other thing .It was about her ,this pain ...grief..and fear will actually prolong.Then he knelt down and placed his head on her lap ,trying to get some relief and feel her with him .While she just ruffled his hair continuously and bent down to pepper some tender kisses ,some near his ear and some on his hair , giving him all the love which he was in high demand of... at that instant .

Then she fully bent placing her head over his, and rubbing his back she spoke

A- muje kuch nahi huwa shivaay ,I'm fine .

S- kuch hoga bhi nahi ,

Saying which he planted a deep kiss on her palm .

Pinky who just entered ,stood near the door with happy tears being extremely grateful to God for uniting her children.

That's what it is ,however big the problem is .With a hearty conversation ,there could be a solution .Annika ,loved shivaay like anything but suddenly the thought that her love might bring a disrespect to pinky whom she treasured as her own mother , troubled her .Struggling with these two priorities was even more terrible for her and  just being totally insane and blunt she became a fool and consumed poison.But ,now she has realized her mistake .

And yeah !  Finally they've Realized about their love ...sorry sorry ,Realized about their love which was hidden in friendship ...Or Realized about them! Too
