HOPE

CHPATER 18

Shivaay(shocked):- Mom, what are you saying?

Pinky:- Yes shivaay, she won't be your wife because she is not a thing that you can claim or throw away as you please. She is also a human being just like you. She also has feelings, cry when it hurts , laughs when she is happy , so stop making decision of her life on your own and let her decide for herself. Even if you met her before she fell in love with her fiancé , why would she give you another chance when you claim to love her based on knowing some truth . If you really loved her you would have stood by her no matter what or at least would have heard her side story before reaching any conclusion. What you actually believed is NKK & that is something I myself feeded you so I can not criticize you too. I taught you to judge people and trust them based on their background. That's why you never trusted her even though she stood by you all the time. No matter how much you insulted her , she was the first one to offer her hand to help you every time. At that time, I wished that you could find yourself someone like Anika but you chose Tia . So I kept quiet & hoped that this might be your happiness . But see where it had brought you. You are alone while she moved on. I am as much happy for her as much as I feel sad for you. But even for you, I would never let her compromise with her happiness. So what I am saying is that you find your happiness while letting Anika have hers. So wake up Shivaay & move on.

Shivaay :- Mom, you do not understand. My happiness is Anika . She is my love. I need her. She & I are meant to be that's why she is here. Destiny brought us together once again. How could you not see that. Otherwise why would She meet me now of all times just before leaving for London for her wedding.

Anika :- Because this is the closure we both needed Shivaay. More so for you. Because you had stopped living. You are still stuck in the past. So I request you to leave the past in the past, otherwise it would destroy your future too.

Shivaay, I might sound selfish but please find your happiness with some else. I have found my own so I hope that you also meet someone who could be your one & only.

I have thought it over in these years whether I trully loved you or not. I understood that I did not loved you for you but I loved your love for this family. I was an orphan & when I saw the love you had for your family, I got greedy. I wanted to be part of this family where I would have the great wall of Shivaay Singh Oberoi to protect me & two brothers who would be by my side no matter what. But as I actually fell in love with Viranshu, I realised that I trully love only Viranshu because for him I could give up anything including our family but from you what I wanted was the family only. So even if his parents wouldn't have approved of us, I would still have fought for him but in your case when your family did not accepted me I was so easily able to give up.

May be you do not love me as well. Its your guilt thats trapping you, suffocating you and making you believe that you need me by your side to feel free of this burden that you carry in your heart.

So I forgive you that's the way you & I both would be free from the shackles of the past. Lets forget it and move on. I sincerly wish that you meet your better half soon. Good bye Shivaay.

Saying this Anika leaves along with Viranshu.
