The Marriage

Though shivaay was lost in Annika's and vaani's thought for a while, he remembered about his marriage and he resumed the arrangements. Tia was the happiest person. Though Annika said shivaay that she would have tolerated his marriage with Tia,, seeing the arrangements and the reality made Annika's heart more heavy and painful.
Annika was trying to make vaani sleep. She was patting vaani's little body but  was engulfed by her thoughts and memories.
Annika*thoughts of her marriage with shivaay and their beautiful days in Ireland * shivaay,, I can't imagine a life without you,, where are all your promises now? How can you leave us shivaay?? Have you ever thought how will our baby live without you?? How will you be happy without her shivaay?? Please don't leave us behind... Please shivaay... I love you madly... Our baby loves her papa... She wants u.... I can't believe you have changed, how could u tolerate Tia humiliating your sunshine?? Shivaay don't make my nightmare come true... Please don't leave us alone again... Come back to us.. Give us the best husband and papa as u were always..... Tears started flowing out of her eyes, which dropped on vaani's face. Vaani woke up and wiped her mumma's tears.
Vaani: mumma.... By cly? (mumma... Why cry??)
Annika: I love you baby... Will you leave mumma and go like your papa did??
Vaani :mumma,, vaanu lubs u... U aunly... Vaanu ooways wit mumma (mumma,, vaanu loves u,, u only... Vaanu always with mumma)
Annika hugged her tightly and cried even more.
Vaani(sad pout) :mumma,,, vaanu lubs papa Osso,, bwat, papa aets vaanu (mumma,,, vaanu loves papa also,, but papa hates vaanu)
Annika pecked her pout and said " no baby,, papa loves you more and more. Papa will love you until his last breath. I know your papa's mind, he might have been dead inside seeing you tourchered by that Tia. Your papa might be blackmailed by someone?? I don't know baby,, but without a reason, ur papa will not ignore you.. He loves you more than anything in this world.
Vaanu(smiles) :pomise mumma?? (promise mumma??)
Annika:prooomiseee....
She kissed vaani's forehead and reassured her.

Early morning(marriage day) *

Annika's heart beat was as fast as an express train and she couldn't realise what's going on 'my husband's marriage'??? Her eyes shed tears automatically.

She made vaanu and herself ready to witness her husband, her baby's father marrying another lady. She made her mind hard and went to the hall, which was beautifully decorated. Enough and more guests were present, medias and business magnets were there. It was all set to go. Annika had a little hope that shivaay would stop the marriage and come back to them but.... After seeing the arrangements and presence of guests, all her hopes were scattered. She held vaani close to her chest tightly to release her mental pressure.
Presence of oberois made her more difficult to act happy.
Shivaay held Tia's hand and both sat on the decorated chairs. Annika couldn't tolerate it more and she handed vaani to pinky and turned back.

Annika started to walk out from the hall.
Shivaay(roared):Annikaaaaaaa..

Everybody looked at Shivaay and Annika in disbelief. Annika stopped at the point shocked.
