Chap 31 - I LOVE YOU!

•OBEROI MANSION•
Annika already felt herself on cloud nine when she extended her hand to him to climb on the stage. The tears made way to her eyes while an infectious smile adored her lips.

"Shivay!!!" she said with amazement & shock in her tone when she stood beside him.

"I had an idea that you will forget Annika!" he said into her ears while smiling towards her.

Everyone standing there was clapping for the beautiful couple. She was able to feel her cheeks going red & hot.

Shivay took a moment while entwining her fingers with his, he said

"Ladies and Gentlemen!! Today is a very special day. It's My Wife's birthday. On this beautiful occasion I want to say something, something which was supposed to be told very earlier but I believe everything is meant to happen when it is destined to and I can not find any other day more suitable than her birthday to put forward something really honest & real in front of her."

She could not tell how fast her heart was beating against her chest. It was as if a super fast rapid train had lost its break & running uncontrollably. The way he said that it's "his wife's" birthday gave her butterfly in her tummy. She was just lost in him.

"Annika I would like to thanku today. Thanku so much for giving me the best gift of my life. Yes everyone!!! we are expecting our first baby" he said looking at her while the whole ambiance got echoed by the sound of uncountable claps.

"You know Annika, when I was a child & I lost my mom at a tender age, I was literally broken and shattered. I felt myself slipping into depression, isolation & loneliness. I felt as if there is nothing called motherly love coz I was angry from mom for leaving me alone.

Gradually when I started growing up I realised things and I always missed mom. I asked her to forgive me for always hating her in childhood coz then I didn't knew how people die & leave. I was so scared of the loneliness & vacuum that I faced in my childhood that I started looking for a partner who would take away all my fears. I always wanted someone real & loyal on my side, I wanted a partner who would love me not because I was Shivay Singh Oberoi but because I was hers. No matter what I earn, what's my name, what's my class or status she should love me irrespective of all these things. I always thought that once I'll marry I'll make sure that my child never goes through the pain which I faced in my childhood. I always thought that I won't let my child miss the presence of any of the parents coz it's really a big mental trauma for the child to live life without any one may it be a mother or a father"

She was looking into his teary eyes, she knew he still missed his mom & whatever that he spoke had an honesty. She tightened her grip around his hand to let him know that she was with him while her own eyes escaped some tears.

"I know I have committed some immensely wrong mistakes in my life. I took some disastrous decisions which hurted you, which became a reason for your sufferings. I almost lost you and our baby. But You know Annika, the day I got to know that you are pregnant it was the most beautiful day of my life. It felt as if I m going to get born again. I felt so happy & overwhelmed. I decided that I won't let my child suffer the consequences of my mistakes. I decided that I will try to make up for all my mistakes. I cannot explain in words how fortunate I feel myself to be for getting you as my life partner Annika. I know I have not been a good husband, I know I have been the sole reason of your painful sleepless nights, I know I have only been the constant nightmare of your life I know you deserved better Annika but I also know one thing and I would like to thank god for making me realise this before it had been too late, that I...I LOVE YOU ANNIKA, I LOVE YOU VERY VERY MUCH!!!"
