Ishqbaaz Imagining the Future part 5

The track and plot of the original show has changed henceforth I’m continuing the ff with my created plot.

Recap- After Shivaye’s announcement to remarry Anika,everybody shared a moment of happiness. While furious Daksh plans for revenge. Shivay finds Anika standing infront of the OM’s main door with a gloomy face….

“What’s wrong Anika? Are you fine? Do you need anything?You could have called me if you needed anything.”
“Yes I needed something. I needed to talk to you…”
Shivay opened his mouth to reply but closed it when he noticed Daksh standing behind her. ‘Daksh is surely upto something,but he won’t tell me. I need to know what’s going on..’
Keeping aside his thoughts he stepped forward towards Anika and with a balance tone asked, “What is the matter? Is Daksh bothering you with something? Tell me,I’ll make everything right. No need to be scared.”
“I’m leaving…”
Anika’s words hung in the air… Shivay didn’t take those words seriously, not because he didn’t care but ’cause he cared to much to believe those words… he sighed heavily and tried not to loose his calmness in his tone, “I am asking again Anika, what’s the matter?”
“You are the matter Shivay. You have always been the matter Mr. Shivaye Singh Oberoi. Remember the day you insulted me because I didn’t have a family name or a bloodline like yours?
See what you have turned to now, announcing marriage infront of the world with a girl who doesn’t even have a surname.You insulted me right? Now you know that to acheive something you don’t need a bloodline because you belonging to such a bloodline has been so easily fooled by a girl whose bloodline is unknown.” She paused to smile at Shivay.
Shivay stared at her with disgust “You are not making any sense Anika. If you are done with this crap let’s get back to the room.”
“That’s the last thing I want to do right now, going back to the room!I really think you should go back to the room look around and think, maybe then you’ll understand things well.
I’m leaving Shivay”

Shivay was not paying so much attention until the last words… he walked to Anika and held her bending down to her and bringing his face close to her’s.
“Anika, I don’t care about whatever Daksh is blackmailing you with. I don’t care if it’s about me or any of my family member. I don’t care how big the secret is, whichever secret you are trying to hide with this nonsense,because of Daksh. I don’t care. ”
His feelings in his voice was extreme when he spoke the next words… “You are not leaving Anika. You are not.”
Anika almost melted in his words when Daksh wraped his arm around her shoulder.
“Oh poor Shivay! Look Anika what you have done to him.Trust me Shivay, I asked her not to be so cruel, after all you are my childhood friend, but she refused, she wanted to use nothing less than the masterplan for you.” He looked at Anika “… and my God, looked how your plan worked!!”
Rest of the family had arrived by then….
“See Shivay I told you not to trust this unlucky cheap girl. I warned you. I told you she’s cheating on us on you…”
“Maa please..” He stopped his mom. He knew it’s all a lie. Anika must be having a reason. Things were already enough complicated.
He looked up at Anika, whose eyes spoke a lot but she kept her face as straight as possible.
“Anika…” he said it without even realising the fact that he was taking her name… but then he had nothing to say… maybe he had many things to say but still felt at loss with words. Anika spoke… “I’m done with all this. Daksh can we leave?”
“Yes sweetheart, sure. Even I can’t stand long in this house. Let’s leave.”
“Goodbye Mr. Shivaye Singh Oberoi. Take care.”
“Anika don’t do this… you don’t have to do this. I’ll make everything right…” Shivaye himself didn’t find the last words convincing.
Anika’s face was still straight she kept her features hard and walked to Shivay. She looked straight into his eyes. “It’s a battle Shivay.I’m bound to show you tadi today. I’m leaving and don’t try to… don’t stop me”

She turned around and left without stopping even for once. Shivay clenched his heart and almost fell back when Omkara held him.
“Om he’s dangerous,we can’t let her leave with him, we can’t let her leave anyway. Om we need to stop her. Anika… ”
Shivay got frantic,he lost all his calm,even though he had the faith that Anika did not mean her words but still a part of him was scared.
“Shivay. Shivay.” OmRu screamed to get him back to the reality and stop him from running behind her.

“Shivay we’ll bring her back. She must have done it for a reason.Shivay calm down plz we’ll think”

Shivay was walking hence and forth in his room impatiently. He barked orders to whoever was on the other side of the phone “Track both of there phones. Both. Fast.”
He still couldn’t take in what just happened…
He was lost in his thoughts…what if Anika… No Shivay… you did not trust her earlier and Daksh was successful to pull you both apart, not this time…
Coming back to the reality something caught his eyes…peice of a folded paper lying right beside his coffee machine. He strode forward and opened it. It was a letter written last night.He immediately knew who wrote it…

‘Shivay, you risked a lot today just to maintain my image infront of the world. The way you made the announcemment,I understand there must have been a reason behind it and you must have taken a risk to make it happen. This is how our relation is,we are always standing at the edge. Everyday it’s a new battle. Everyday we are fighting,sometimes against death and sometimes against life. Our relation has always been under a danger, a danger of not having anymore time together, of not having anymore chances to be together.
I realised our time is too precious to be wasted and that’s why I want to tell you something while we have that time and chance.

(Shivay, mujhe fark padta hai, bohot fark padta hai aur humesha se padta tha…)
Shivay, IT MATTERS to me,It Matters a lot, it always did…’

He found it hard to breath he sat down on his bed not being able to stand anymore. His view was a blur while tears sprawled in his eyes…

Anika’s words came back to his mind…
“I really think you should go back to the room look around and think, maybe then you’ll understand things well.”…
He now knew what she meant….
“It’s a battle Shivay.I’m bound to show you tadi today Shivay. I’m leaving and don’t try to… don’t stop me”
Things and Anika’s words started falling into place . She was right he’ll understand things well after reading the letter.
It started striking his mind
A memory flashed in front of his eyes…
“Anika, don’t show much tadi”
This is what I said to stop her from leaving OM indirectly and today she said “… I’m bound to show tadi today…”. It means she did not want to leave but she was bound to…
“…it’s a battle Shivay…”
Shivay immediately stood up. The revelation had hit him hard. He no more felt that helpless the way he was feeling earlier… “It’s a battle Anika and we’ll fight this together, like we always do…”
Shivay dialed a no. and a man replied from the other side of the phone.

Precap- The search for Anika starts, but how will he find her? What if Daksh acts faster than expected? Why did Anika leave? Stay tuned to know more.
