Hey people........
Back with next chapter.....
Are your dreams of seeing Anika in hospital getting fulfilled through the story?
I hope it is.....
Enjoy......
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Hospital*
Streacher was brought and Anika was being wheeled in. Shivaay was holding her hand tightly and following them. Just in front of the operation theatre, he was stopped by the nurses.

N1: You can't go beyond this Sir.
Shivaay: But.... But....
Om: Shivaay leave bhabi's hand.
Shivaay(holds with both of his hands) : No.... I will not leave.... She will go away from me... No....
N2: Sir, please try to understand if you don't leave her then it will be late for the operation and it might become a threat to her life. Please try to understand sir.
Om(removing his hand from Anika) : Shivaay, leave her hand. If it late then we won't be able to save her life. (he shouted at the end to knock some sence into his head)

As the words seeped into his brain, Shivaay left Anika's hand. It seemed as if she was going away from him and if he is trying to catch her, she isn't coming into his hands. The streacher went inside the OT and the white door shut blocking his view. His knees felt weak and he collapsed on the floor.

Shivaay(shouted): Anika.........

Om tried to console him but failed. Others had arrived and was shocked to see Shivaay's condition. Pinky went towards him.

Pinky(crying and carenessing his hair) : Shivaay, nothing will happen.... I am telling you naa. Anika is a fighter. She will be fine. Don't worry.
Shivaay(shaky voice): Mom.... Wh... What if she.... She... Leaves me.... No.... I can't live without her. (turning towards her) Mom.... You know naa.... How much I love her..... Please tell her not to leave me.... She will listen to you.... I know she will.... Please tell her.... That Her Baggad billa can't live without her.... Please tell her....
Pinky(hugged him tightly) : Nothing will happen to her..... She will be fine.....

Shivaay curled himself within his mother's enbrace and cried. He was trying to make himself understand that nothing will happen to His Anika. She will be fine.... She has to be..... Pinky, for the first time saw this state of Shivaay. If Shivaay is like this when Anika is shot then what will happen if..... No she can't even think about it. His life is with her.... If she goes then he will also......

*3 hours later*
Each second for Shivaay was like a year. He was constantly looking at the door where his life was fighting her life. He was so lost in his thoughts that he failed to console his family who was going through the same pain.

Dadi was constantly praying for her bahu along with Pinky.

Pinky(prayer): I know I used to hate her disgust her. But now she has become like my daughter and my Shivaay's happiness and life lies in her. Please bhagwan.... Maata rani.... Meri bahu ko thik kardo.... Please bring her back to us safely... Please bhagwan.....
Dadi(prayer): Meri bacchi ko thik kardo maata rani. Anika ko kuch ho gaya toh Billu toot jayega.... Please Anika ko thik kar do.

Om was strong or rather showing that he is strong because he has to look after his family. On one side is Shivaay, who seemed to be lost in his own world of his bhabi and on the other side Rudra who was crying continuously and Bhavya is trying to calm him down. Om stood away from others and leaned against the wall with closed eyes. The sound of payel made him conscious yet he didn't open his eyes. Someone or say his wife Gauri came and put her head on his shoulder and was crying. He slowly wind his hand around her waist and hugged her tightly.

Gauri(crying): Omkaraji..... Bhaujayi will be fine naa?
Om: She has to otherwise Shivaay will be broken.
Gauri: Why does it always happens with Baade bhaiya and Bhaujayi? They are always there for everyone, help everyone but always something or the other happens to them why?
Om(carenessing her hair) : Sshh.... Nothing will happen to her. Bhabi is a fighter and I have full faith that she will make it.

Rudra was crying hysterically after seeing her superbhabi in that state. Not only he but Bhavya too was in shock and now in tears. Seeing Anika bhabi like that made her remember her parents death. She can't afford to go through the same feelings again.

Rudra(crying): Anika bhabi will be fine right? Please tell me that she will be fine....
Bhavya: Don't worry Rudra. Nothing will happen to bhabi.
Rudra: If anything happens to her, then I don't know what will I do.
Bhavya: I am sure nothing can happen to bhabi because she knows that this Family can't live without her especially Shivaay bhaiya. Everyone needs her.... She knows that. Now stop crying. If you cry so much then who will handle Baade bhaiya. See how much broken he is. You should go and give him strength.
Om(coming towards them) : I agree with Bhavya. Shivaay needs us right now. We should be his strength and not let him break.
Rudra(still crying): But how I do that O? I myself can't control then how will I handle bhaiya. You know what Anika bhabi is for him. How much he loves her.
Om: I know everything Rudra but we have to be with him otherwise I don't know what he will do to himself. I have promised Bhabi that I will never leave Shivaay alone.... Then how can I leave him now... When he is completely broken.
Rudra: O.... Bhabi thik toh ho jayegi naa?

Rudra asked him so vulnerably that even Om started crying. Both the brothers hugged eachother while Gauri and Bhavya hugged eachother.

On the other hand, Shivaay was in different world.... A world full of his Anika.... Her smiling face... Blushed face.... Her antics.... Everything was flashing in front of his eyes.
(Italics are the past conversation and within bracets is the song playing in the background.... Though the song is romantic but fits well with the situation... Just try to correlate)

Anika: Shivaay..... Agar mujhe sach me kuch ho jata hai toh....
Shivaay(angrily): Don't you dare talk anything like that..... Tumhe kuch hota hai naa meri jaan chali jati hai.....
(Ek dil hai.... Ek jaan hai.....
Dono tujhpe... Dono tujhpe....
Kurbaan hai....)

Shivaay(hugging her tightly) : You are fine right? You are fine....
Anika: I am fine Shivaay.... These small things happen in such big big plans.... Don't worry about it too much....
Shivaay(cupping her face) : Nothing is good in your case.... If small ups and downs happen to you... It kill me....
(Ek main hoo... Ek imaan hai...
Dono tujhpe haan tujhpe....
Dono tujhpe kurbaan hai....)

Doctor walked out of the OT breaking everyone's thoughts. Shivaay hurriedly got up and almost ran towards the doctor, with the family behind him.

Shivaay: Doctor.... My Anika is fine right.... Please tell me... She is fine right.....
Doctor: I can't say anything now. She is very critical.... Huge blood loss as well as her pregnancy.....
Shivaay(shocked): What? An... Ani..... Anika is pregnant?
Doctor: Yes, Mr. Oberoi..... But I guess she doesn't even know about it because it's just a few weeks only. We have taken out the bullets and thankfully the one in her stomach didn't harm the baby.... But the one in her chest....
Shivaay: What doctor.... Just say it please....
Doctor: It has damaged one of her great vessels. We need to operate that immediately otherwise....
Shakti: What ever you feel is good please do it doctor. But my daughter should be fine at any cost.
Doctor: That's the problem Mr. Oberoi. We aren't able to proceed with the operation because we don't have Mrs. Anika blood and her pregnancy is stopping us from doing it. It will harm her baby.
Tej: Then what should be done doctor?
Doctor: We have to abort the baby.....
Shivaay(shouts loudly) : No.... Never..... Ani... Anika will never forgive me for doing that.... She always wanted a baby.... No I can't let this happen.... There isn't any other way. Please doctor... Please do anything and save my wife and baby please.... (and fell on the doctor's feet) Please doctor save them...... Please....
OmRu(picking him up) : Shivaay/Bhaiya, you can't fall weak like this. Please be strong.
Doctor: I will try my level best but without blood it will be impossible.
Rudra: What is the blood group doctor?
Doctor: A-ve.
Gauri: I have the same blood group....
Shivaay(begging her) : Gauri...Gauri..... please... Please give your blood and save my Anika please Gauri.... Please.....
Gauri(holding his hands): Baade bhaiya please don't beg like that.... I will surely give.... She is like my elder sister... I will surely do everything that is in my hands.... Please don't make me feel bad like this.... Please....
Doctor: Nurse will show you the way. But I will still prefer that you should be ready with 2 more bottles as well.
Shakti: Don't worry Doctor. We will arrange it soon. Khanna...
Khanna: Yes, Sir I have informed all the blood banks.
Doctor: Then I will proceed with the operation. Have faith in God.... Only he can do some miracles now.... (to Shivaay) Mr. Oberoi you need to sigh a consent form and one more information..... If the patient becomes critical then we have to abort the baby to save her...
Shivaay(tired voice) : What ever you think will be good just do it doctor.... But (looks up at him) Please try to save both of them.... They are my life..... Please.....
Doctor: I will try my level best.(walked inside the OT)
Nurse: Mrs. Gauri please come this way.

Om assured Gauri through his eyes to be strong. She smiled at him weakly and went with the nurse. Shivaay lost all this strength hearing about Anika's condition and on top of that their baby..... Baby which She always wanted.

Anika: Shivaay.... You like kids?
Shivaay: Of course Anika, who doesn't like kids. I love them. In fact when Pari was here I became so attached to her that I started thinking as my daughter only. What about you?
Anika: I just love kids. When Sahil was small I used to love him so much that I wanted a baby of my own. Even with Pari also I got so attached that I didn't want to send her away from me.
Shivaay: So if Mrs. Oberoi is so eager to have a baby.... Then why don't we make one?
Anika(shied): Shivaay.... You always start anywhere.... Chepde....

Shivaay chuckled recalling their talks. He then remembered how they had taken their relationship to the next level. It was the most blissful day for them.

Shivaay (talks to himself) : Anika.... Now you can't leave me and go.... You can't......

*After 2 hours *

Doctor walked out of the OT after the operation.

Shivaay(broken voice) : A... Ani... Anika?

Doctor just nodded his head in dismal and Shivaay fell down unconscious. OmRu reacted immediately and got him admitted in the hospital.

*Shivaay's room*
Shivaay was under medicine effect and sleeping. But he seemed to be restless. He was continuously murmuring something.

Shivaay: No.... Don't leave me and go... Please Anika... Don't go.... Anika.....

*Dream*
Anika was going away from Shivaay. He tried to hold her back... But she wasn't coming in his hold.

Shivaay: Anika... Please don't leave me.... Anika I can't live without you.... Please Anika...
Anika: But I can't help it Shivaay.... I am powerless in front of Him.
Shivaay(shouted in anger) :No you can't go.... Shivaay Singh Oberoi will never let you go....
Anika(chuckled): Yaha aapki tadi nehi chelne wali Baggad billa.
Shivaay: Sab chalega. I will show what Shivaay Singh Oberoi is.... Don't go please... I will die without you Anika... Anika.....

Shivaay: Anika.....

He woke up with a jerk. OmRu went to him.

Shivaay: Om.... Anika is leaving me.... Om... Tell her not to go.... Om.. She...
Rudra: Bhaiya please control yourself.....
Om: Shivaay.... Please be strong.... Shivaay....
Shivaay: Anika.... Kaha hai? Haa... Anika.... (saw them silent) Will you both say something where is Anika.... (still silent) Okay you won't say then I will see myself only.....

He got down of the bed but jerked back due to his chest pain.

Om: Shivaay please don't stress yourself.... You just suffered a heart attack. Please Shivaay.
Shivaay(taking deep breath) : Anika.... She needs me.... I need to go to her....

He removed Om's hand and walked out of the room. He saw his Family members sitting outside the OT and crying badly.

Shivaay: What happened to you all? Where is Anika? (no answer) Oh she must be in the OT now. I can meet her naa.... Of course I can I am Shivaay Singh Oberoi. I can do anything.

He was about to walk towards the OT when Pinky stopped him.

Pinky(crying): Shivaay.... Anika iis duniya me nehi rehi..... She left us... Shivaay..... She left us.....
Shivaay(angry voice) : Not a word more.... How can you even think like that Mom? Do you even know what you are speaking? Mom, My Anika can't leave me.... (placing her on his chest) See Mom my heart is still beating that means My Anika is alive.... She didn't leave me.... Anika did not leave me.... Anika did not..... I will just go and meet her.

He sided Pinky and went inside the OT.

*Operation theatre *
Shivaay entered and saw a body fully covered with white sheet. He slowly went towards it and with shaking hands removed it to reveal.... Anika.....

Shivaay(patting her cheek) : Anika... Get up... See who came to meet you.... See your billuji.... Please get up... Everyone is saying that you are dead.... But I know you are not dead.... Because (keeping her hand on his chest) my heart is still beating.... Then how can they say that you are dead..... No you aren't... Now stop showing Tadi and get up naa.... Anika... Get up.... Anika....
Doctor: We are sorry Mr. Oberoi.... We couldn't save your wife.....
Shivaay: No you are lieing to me.... She can't leave me.... She had promised me that she won't leave me again.... (shaking her) Anika... Get up.... (shouted) Anika....

Shivaay(got up with jerk) : Anika.....

OmRu heard his voice and went towards him.

Om: Shivaay relax.... You just now suffered a heart attack.
Shivaay(broken voice) : Om.... Everyone said.... That... That... Anika has left me.... She.... She.... Is de.. Dead.... Please tell me.... How is she? And why am I here?
Om: Shivaay.... You fainted after hearing bhabi's condition and we admitted you here. You suffered a heart attack due to excessive stress. And bhabi...
Shivaay: Anika... What Anika....
Om: Operation is done... But she is still under danger and very critical.... They have shifted Bhabi to the ICU.
Shivaay(shuddered voice) : And baby?
Om(small smile) : He/She managed to get through.... Looks like he/she is tadibaaz just his/her parents. But threat isn't over yet....
Shivaay: Matlab?
Om: If Bhabi doesn't gain consciousness within 10 hours then it will be treat for the baby.
Shivaay: Anika has to be fine.... For me as well as for our baby....

*ICU*
Shivaay walked inside to see his life, His wife lieing on the bed lifelessly with an oxygen mask and so many tubes attached to her. One machine showed her own heart beat while the other showed their baby's heart beat. Seeing it, Shivaay's eyes became teary. He wiped it off and sat beside her bed. He inspected her face thoroughly and finally took hold of her hand. He kept on looking at her and kissed her chuckes tightly.

Shivaay: I know Anika... That you can hear me.... (keeps her hand on his chest) and you can feel this also. Am I right? If you can feel this then you know that I am breathing because of you.... I am alive because of you..... This heart beats for you.... Only you..... Leave all that... You know your wish came true..... We are having a baby.... Yes, you heard it right.... (keeping his hand on her stomach) our baby.... Our Ansh or Shivika is growing within you.... So get up soon....

Still no effect..... But Shivaay didn't leave hope. He kept on talking with her about random things sometimes showing Tadi or sometimes showing love. But on the other side something else is happening.

*Anika's dream*
Anika was walking on a very dark road and was very scared.

Anika: Where did this Baagad billa go? He said he will never leave my hand anywhere. Then where is he now....

She stumbled and fell down. She gathered herself and tried to stand but failed. A hand was spread out in front of her. She looked up to see some unknown people. She became scared but didn't show.

Anika: Who are you?
P1: We are your parents, Anika beta.
Anika(shocked): My parents.... Are you serious?
P2: Do you think that we are joking?
Anika: How can I believe you both? And moreover I haven't seen you both before.
AM(Anika's Mom) : Beta, we are seriously your parents....
AP(Anika's Papa): Yes, beta....
Anika: Then why did you both leave me alone and go? Didn't you think how will your little daughter live in this cruel world?
AM: We are sorry beta... But we were helpless.....
AP: But see now we have come to take you along with us.
Anika(confused): Take me with you both? Where?
AM: Heaven.....
Anika(shocked): What? But why? I don't want to die....
AP: But you are already dead my child....
Anika: No.... I can't.... Shivaay will be waiting for me... I can't...
AM: Who will wait?
Anika: Shivaay... My husband....
AP: That Man who has hurt my princess so much... No no need... You will come with us... Come...
AM: Come to us, beta..... We are your parents.
Anika : But I don't know...... And I don't want to come because........

"You love my Grandson a lot.... "

Anika: Who are you now? (looking at him clearly and became shocked) Dadaji....
Dadaji(ShivOmRu's Dadaji) (laughs out loudly) : Seems like you know me too well.
Anika: Of course.... You look almost like Shivaay....
Dadaji: Shivaay looks like me... Not me like Shivaay....
Anika: Yaa whatever....
Dadaji: So tell me what do you want to do?
Anika: Matlab?
Dadaji: You have 10 mins in your hands to decide your fate.... If you want to stay with my grandson then you have return back to that world and if you want to stay with your parents then you have stay back. Choice is yours.... And time very less... So think fast....

Anika was in deep thoughts when a small ball came rolling towards her. She looked up and saw a small boy. He had the most cutest smile ever and he looked somewhat like Shivaay.

Anika: Beta, who are you?
Boy: Aare Mumma, you can't recognize me. I am Ansh... Ansh Shivaay Singh Oberoi.... Your and Papa's son.
Anika(tears): My son.... (carenessing his face and hugged him tightly to herself) What are you doing here son?
Ansh(breaking the hug) : I have come to tell you that Papa is very sad.... See(pointing towards something) He is crying for such a long time... He even had.... That... What is that... Heart.... Atta...
Anika(gasped): Heart attack?
Ansh: Yes, that..... See how much he is missing you.... Go and console him please..... I can't see him like that... He is my super hero and Superheroes don't cry. Haina mumma?
Anika(crying): Haa beta.... Superheroes don't cry and your Papa is the strongest person, you know.... he never cries...... But I guess Mumma has hurt him a lot....

Suddenly, she heard him singing...

Shivaay: Ek dil hai
Ek jaan hai
Dono tujhpe.
Dono tujhpe qurbaan hain
Ek main hoon, ek imaan hai
Dono tujhpe haan tujhpe
Dono tujhpe qurbaan hain
Ek dil hai.
Aa.
Ishq bhi tu mera pyar bhi tu
Meri baat zaat jazbaat bhi tu
Parwaaz bhi tu rooh-e-saaz bhi tu
Meri saans nabz aur hayaat bhi tu
Mera raaz bhi tu
Pukhraj bhi tu
Meri aas pyaas aur libaas bhi tu
Meri jeet bhi tu, meri haar bhi tu
Mera kaaj raaj aur mizaaj bhi tu.
Mere ishq ke, har maqaam mein
Har subah mein, har shaam mein
Ik rutba hai, ek shaan hai
Dono tujhpe haan tujhpe
Dono tujhpe haan tujhpe
Dono tujhpe qurbaan hain
Ek dil hai
Ek jaan hai
Dono tujhpe.
Dono tujhpe qurbaan hain
Aa.

Shivaay: Anika.... Meri jaan ho tum.... Please get up... For me and our baby.... Please Anika....

Anika(shocked): Baby?
Ansh: Haa mumma... I will come to you and Papa after 10 months but if you don't go back to Papa then..... (becomes sad)
Anika(shouts out) : I will go back to Shivaay..... I want to live....
Dadaji: That's called a wise decision..... (blessing her) God bless you beta.... Always keep Billu happy....
Anika: But how will go back?
Dadiji: Just close your eyes and remember Billu.......

Anika closed her eyes and......

*ICU*
Shivaay was tired but still he didn't move a single bit nor closed his eyes for a single moment.... What if, he closes his eyes and she gets up. No he can't afford to do so. 9 hours had already crossed still she didn't show any sigh of improvement. He was loosing his strength slowly.....

Shivaay(held her hand tightly and kissed it) : I love you Anika.... Please get up..... Otherwise I will die..... Meri saans nabz aur hayaat bhi tu.... Ek dil hai.... Ek jaan hai.... Dono tujhpe kurbaan hai.....

Her grip on him tightened. He looked up to see her struggling for breath. He panicked.

Shivaay(shouting out) : Doctor.... Doctor.... (carenessing her hair) Anika... Shant ho jao..... Anika....

Doctors rushed inside and the nurses tried to send Shivaay away but her hold on him prevented him to go.

Doctor: She is anxious. She needs to calm down.
Shivaay(caressing her hair) : Anika..... Calm down.... Calm down... Anika.... Try to open your eyes..... Calm down... Anika... (kissing her hand occasional) Calm down.... Anika.....

And it happened. She calmed down under his touch and slowly opened her eyes to come across the most beautiful pair of blue green eyes.

Anika(stammers): Sh... Sh.. Shi... Shivaay......
Shivaay: Sshh... No need to speak.... Just stay calm.... Okay... Let the doctors check you. (leaving her hand but she isn't) I am here only... (she nodded no) Okay I am not going happy.

Doctors were checking her and gave a smile.

Doctor: She is completely out of danger now Mr. Oberoi. But she needs to be strictly in bed rest for 2 months at least. And congratulations Mrs. Oberoi you are pregnant and I must say that your baby is very strong....
Anika(with great difficulty) : Just like His Father.....

She looked at Him and their eyes got locked. Slowly, she closed her eyes again and he panicked.

Doctor: Don't worry Mr. Oberoi. It's medicine effect. She will get up tomorrow morning now. I will just inform your family.

Doctors left and Shivaay kissed her forehead lovingly. He settled himself beside her bed again with her hand in his tightly and finally closed his eyes to get some sleep.

It was the darkest night of their life..... Which both of them fought together and won.....
