Breaking The Wall Of His Insecurities ✔️

part : 46

Soon thier burger's arrived and both started eating. Anika felt silence awkward between them so she started talking

"In school whenever I used to see boys skipping lunch I used to wonder what if they died because of hunger? How can someone survive? Moreover, how can thier family members let them? They used to play at lunchtime even after growing up", Anika laughed but when she noticed his expressions, she understood that her words hit his heart.

"I.. don't mean to hurt you... ", Anika tried explaining without knowing why he stopped eating. She thought her words somewhere pinched his heart

"Don't explain anything. I was thinking that why I never enjoyed those feelings. Like you are friendly with everyone and your nature can impress anyone but I am not like you. I hate making friends and talking with someone daily. I was never good At sports so I used to read books in Library.. comic books. I used to feel alone and never got guts enough to trust someone", Shivaay said. Anika held his hands and looked towards her surroundings, they both are in the canteen so she can't come near him. She respects him and his pride so she doesn't want him to lose it.

"It's ok you can still enjoy yourself with some children from neighbours. Even though I am not good at it but still I used play cricket with them as I love playing it. Even if I am out on the first ball but I enjoy the game. Try playing with children once I am sure you will enjoy it. If not children then students but try once. We will enjoy", Anika said. Shivaay smiled hearing the word we, he always thought of playing with others but his hesitance never let him play, he used to think of himself as the worst player so he never went with anyone to enjoy

"I will once I get time", Shivaay replied. He hated talking unnecessarily with people and starting conversations just for timepass. He was in pain from losing his parents so he stayed away from people in fear of what if even they left him

"Eat it now. And I will force you to eat", Anika said

"But no-one did till now knowing I hate if someone tries to force thier decisions upon me. So if I am angry let me do whatever I want. Don't question me ever", Shivaay said

" I will you can try me. I will understand if you are not hungry but will not let you skip meals. Is that fine? I mean you can eat whenever you want but at least 3 times a day ", Anika requested, Shivaay wanted to deny but her innocent eyes forced him to say yes. He knows she just wants his health nothing else

"What about you? Can I do the same?", Shivaay asked. Anika giggled hearing him as he can't get that chance ever

"Yes but remember I eat more than 3 times a day", Anika replied

"Really when?", Shivaay asked, he never noticed that she eat that much

"Whenever I feel hungry I eat whatever I find in the fridge or kitchen", Anika told him. Shivaay nodded

The next day Shivaay dropped her at her house and left after meeting Priyanka. He thought to leave the gate but just to meet her he came inside. He felt relaxed when he noticed Priyanka's happy face when she meet him, she asked him to stay but just because of work he left with a stone heart.

Anika smiled and meet Sahil, Gauri and Priyanka as Daksh was not present there. After some time Daksh arrived and was shocked to find Anika there

"Di you here?", he asked

"Yes she is here for 2 days it is nice right?", asked Priyanka happily

"Yes, but can I talk with di... Alone?", he asked to which Priyanka nodded, she asked him if he want someone to which he denied and sat inside his room waiting for Anika

"Yes anything serious?", asked Anika after entering his room, she guessed that he is angry from his red eyes and sat on the sofa

"Yes... Vasundhra Trivedi is alive. Do you know this? Just yes or no", Daksh asked directly shocking Anika, she looked down in fear because she has been trying hard to hide this truth from everyone. She doesn't want them to think of themselves as dirt just like people call her mother
