PART-4
Hello everyone, this is Tanz, back with part-4 of my ff. I am so glad to see your responses in the previous parts . That really really encourages me a lot and I hope to get your support like this only .So without further ado let’s start….
***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Annika is standing on the terrace , crying . Saahil comes running towards her.
Saahil : “Annika Didi what happened ? Did that lady again trouble you or shout on you ? Today I will tech her a very good lesson . She will remember that her whole life and will think 100 times without troubling you again……She……”
Annika cut him in between and said, wiping her tears “No Saahil . You will do nothing of the sort . See I am not crying , I am fine …..completely fine ….” She was trying hard to stop the tears from coming out . Saahil was vexed at his mother’s behavior . How can she do so bad with such an innocent girl, so pure at heart ,his Annika Didi.
Although he never went against his Annika Didi but today , his mother crossed all the limits . She called her an orphan in front of a whole lot of a people . She humiliated her only because the poor soul was unable to reach home at time to fix the TV and she missed her favourite serial . She never missed a chance to humiliate her . But now Saahil had enough . He could not see tears in his sister’s eyes . Ignoring whatever Annika had said, he stormed towards the stairs . And then there was a crashing sound Thuddd….

Annika woke up with a shout,”Saahil……..”.She rubbed her face in disbelief . It took her some time to understand that it was just a nightmare . A nightmare that has been haunting her from the last one and a half month. She was sweating heavily. She took a glass of water which was kept on a table , by the side of her bed . She gulped the water, still breathing heavily . It was 4 in the morning , that’s what her alarm clock displayed .She took in a deep breath, as if calming herself , and went straight to the bathroom. The day had just begun and it was going to be a tough one for her.

First , she completed her daily chores and then started preparing snacks for the kitty- party that was going to be held . She made tasty delecacies with whatever that was available in the kitchen . She covered the snacks and took off her apron. It was 8a.m. by then . She readied Saahil for his school . Although in this condition, he should not go out much but on his insistence , the doctor allowed him to go school . After sending Saahil to school , Annika left from home at her usual time so as to not arouse any doubt in Jaya’s mind.
Outside the house Annika remembers something and worries .

Flashback (of previous day): Annika is talking to Saahil’s doctor .
Annika : “Doctor , is Saahil’s condition improving ?”
Doctor : “Annika beta I’m sorry to say but it seems that to make Saahil being able to walk again , we have to go for the operation which I mentioned earlier . Since the day Saahil had fallen from those stairs , we are doing regular Physio sessions and that has been helping a bit but it won’t help Saahil to get up on his feet . If you don’t go for the operation in the next 2-3 months , the chances of Saahil walking without any support will be as bad as none.”
Annika(worried) :”but doctor that operation is really costly and I don’t have that much money now . Even if I take a loan, it’s processing may take more than 3 months and that will be late . Is there no other way?”
Doctor : “No beta, this operation is the only hope we have for Saahil.”
Saying this the doctor leaves from there.

After some time , Annika goes to her boss to ask for some financial help.
Annika : “ Sir, I want a six months’ salary in advance due to some family problem . I promise sir I’ll pay it all back .”
Boss(now ex-boss) : “ Annika , you’re one of my best employees . You are smart and beautiful too . I’ll give you the money but you have to a favor on me.”
Annika : “ What favor sir?”
Boss :” If you’ll spend a night with me , I’ll give you whatever you need….anything….mon…”
And he received the imprint of Annika’s new Chameli on his cheeks before he could finish speaking from his filthy mouth .
Annika : “ You cheapde , How dare you say that ? I thought you were a nice man but now I came to know your 2rs aukaat . Learn to respect a woman . If a girl asks for money , that dosen’t mean that you are free to do whatever you want . And always remember that all girls are not after riches. I am resigning from this job right now. ”
Saying this , An angry Annika leaves from her office and reaches the Juhu beach on her Champa . She breaks downs thinking about her problems , no job , not even a proper family except her brother , that brother who loved her more than his mother, much much more . But what kind of a sister she was , because of her ,he was suffering so much, once completely fit and fine , now he needed crutches to walk . She blamed herself for everything . How unfortunate she was . So, she decided to end this turmoil all at once . She chose the easy way, a cowardly way . She started walking towards the sea and soon was under water due to the huge sea wave when two strong hands pulled her out of the ice-cold water .
———–Flashback ends————

Annika thinks , “ That stranger saved me yesterday and I didn’t even thank him properly . Instead I was fighting with him . Annika you are really crazy . Now first I should go and get my Champa . I’m so intelligent that I had kept a duplicate key .Uske baad ye jo saara raita phaila hai use bhi to sametna hai.(After that I have to clean up this mess). I have to get a new job today only. Come on Annika you have no time to waste .”
She took a cab and left for juhu beach . Here at Oberoi Mansion, Shivaay was busy talking to someone on his phone.
Shivaay : “Yes Khanna send all her details on my phone. Okay. Do it fast.”
Shivaay was moving to and fro like a pendulum, which showed his restlessness. PINGG….Shivaay received the details messaged by Khannaji. He read each and every line very carefully . By its end, Shivaay had made up his mind that by hook or by crook, he will help Annika at any cost . But he couldn’t think of any concrete reason as why he wanted to help Annika . He made himself believe that he was just helping a woman in need as he had done earlier too . But deep within , he knew it was not the only reason . He never knew that his next step regarding this matter would change his world completely.

Precap : Shivaay offers Annika the job as an event organizer for OM for the Pooja that was going to be held in the evening .
