"She was all I had growing up...through every dark phase I have been through she was there...now she is..."

"But knowing my gundi...i know that she wouldn't give up without a fight..."
Annika said softly wiping her tears...

"Trust me Shivaay...everything will be alright..."
Annika said to Shivaay holding her hand in his all the while hoping against hope for everything to be alright...

Chapter 25
Mirage and Oasis..

4 days later...

"Seriously...why is there no development even after 4 days...?"
Kamlesh complained...

Vasundhara sighed realizing that he was getting bolder and louder with his comments now that they were in the Oberoi exclusive floor on the other end of the corridor...

She stared at her hands emotionlessly, tuning out the man sitting beside her...

4 days...it has been 4 days since Gauri was transfered to the ventilator...She wasn't responding positively cosidering she the bullet hit her in her chest...

The doctors said that the moment they take her off of it...she would...di...

Vasundhara gulped...

Her gaze went to Annika and she found herself longing for what she had lost...

"Vaise...just for the record...None of the things we planned is working ok...can you atleast put in a little effort...?it's like the only person who is concerned about our family is me..."

"Vasu...act like a mother for Pete's sake...cry...beat your chest...dot on that other brat...atleast do something...anything..."
He said to Vasundhara irritated by her cold demeanor...

"And that girl...either wake up or pass on..how hard can it be...?It's so typical of Harshvardhan's brats.... always causing trouble in our lives..."

Thadaka who was drinking water from the cooler winced hearing him...Deciding that she had just enough of this two scoundrels bullshit punched the man hard on his face over and over...

"HOW DARE YOU...HOW DARE YOU...?"
She roared grabbing his collar and shaking him hard...

"MY CHILD IS DYING THERE AND ALL YOU CAN THINK IS ABOUT HOW YOU CAN BENEFIT FROM IT...?I KILL THE BOTH OF YOU..."
She shouted at them...

Hearing the commotion Shivaay and Annika walked towards them...

"You filthy lowlife...how dare you raise your hand on me...?"
Kamlesh shouted trying to slap her...

Vasundhara held him back pleading him not to cause thamasha here...

"Ma...what are you doing...?"
Khanna said holding Thadaka back...

"DID YOU EVEN HEAR WHAT HE SAID...HE.."
She said pushing Khanna hard...

"Does the Oberois know that this embodiment of righteousness that they are seeing right now is actually a prostitute who gave birth to a b*****d son who doesn't know even know who his father is...?"
He snapped at her out aloud...

The colour drained out of Thadaka's face hearing his words and Khanna looked like he had been slapped on his face...

Flinching Thadaka took a step back when she felt an arm wrap around her...
