The ground beneath her slipped. He’s getting engaged to Ragini. She stood there frozen, devoid of any expression.
He folded his hand and stared at her. Her face was expressionless. Doesn’t this affect her at all? he thought. Did she forget him so easily when he was still stuck with her memories?
Tears welled up in her eyes but she held them back. She couldn’t fall weak in front of him not when she started the ‘fark padta hai’ game which got backfired.Her phone rang. Perfect she thought. She picked up the phone and escaped from the hall.
She ran to her room and bolted the door. Her knees gave up and she leaned on the wall for support. The tears she held back, spilled out of her eyes. She took out the maglasutra from her pocket. Something she always kept with her and caressed it.
“You are the pain. You are the cure”
He gave her the pain but he, himself was the cure. All she needed right now was him, to wrap his arms around him and say “It’s alright, I still care”
Alas! This can’t be true. He has decided to get engaged to Ragini. Seeing them together, breaks her heart into a million pieces. The ring that Shivaay was wearing was her only hope but now it was going to be replaced by Ragini’s ring.
“You are all that matter to me but with each passing second the hope shatter”
Hope was the only support she had, but now it was also going away, leaving her broken. The day was not easy for her. She did not step out of her room, skipped the food and cried herself to sleep.
The next day, she woke up and the recent happenings brought tears to her eyes but she held them back. You can’t fall weak Anika she kept ranting. She was leaving because if Shivaay didn’t care, it didn’t make sense if she stayed. She started to pack her bags.The thought of leaving Oberoi Mansion, once again, pierced her heart.She collected the memories and broken pieces of her heart.
When she was done with her packing, she went out with her suitcase where she bumped in Shivaay, the last person she wanted to see right now.She didn’t wanted to fall weak again.
Shivaay was shocked to see her with suitcase but somehow managed to keep her face,straight.
“You are leaving?” He asked in his same cold voice.
“No, I’m going on a walk, Shivaay” she replied sarcastically. She looked everywhere except him because one look at him and she knew she would fall weak.
“I see by the way what happened? Lost the game?” he smirked. He did not wanted her to know that he still cares. “It doesn’t affect you, or does it?”
“Why do you care why I am leaving?” She cross questioned. She wanted to scream Yes it affects me. Everything about you does but chose to keep quiet.
“I don’t” he lied. Only he knew how much it affected him.
Little did he know, how much damage his words did to her. This was it. She had got her answer that he didn’t care.
An awkward silence took over and they stood their in silence. Not knowing what to speak.
“I may leave now” with that she walked away, leaving him alone.
Words were left unsaid. He wanted to see say so much but the past memories held him back. He wanted her to stop her from leaving but the pain held him back.
As she walked away, Omkara and Rudra stopped her.
“Bhabhi, where are you going?” Rudra questioned her.
“It’s time for me to leave Rudra. He has moved on” Anika said, trying to keep her voice steady.
“No he hasn’t. You can’t give up bhabhi”
“No Rudra, if he has moved on then it doesn’t sense if I stay here”
“And what makes you think so, bhabhi?” Omkara asked.
“You swa, Om he has announced his engagement with Ragini” Anika replied.
“Bhabhi, you know Shivaay, don’t you? He does things he don’t mean when he’s angry. It’s visible on your faces, how much it affects you guys. Everyone except you two can see it, no matter how much you try to hide it. When you are infront of each other, you forget everything. You guys suck at acting.” Om said.
“You have become intelligent like me O” Rudra exclaimed happily.
“Shut up Rudra”
Somewhat Anika was satisfied with Om’s words. If this was really like this, she was going to remove his mask.The cold face. She was going to get under his skin.
If he was Shivaay, she was Anika. The one, who has always fought her battles by her. No matter how tough they were, she fought by herself. It did not matter, if somebody has got her back or not.
She smirked as a evil plan striked her mind. “Be ready, Mr. Bhagad Billa”
