Where My Heart Belongs

Chapter 72 "Now you know (1)"

Gauri sadly looked at Anika who was deep in her mother's memories

Sometimes touching the lines with her fingers, and kissing the inked words

Sometimes smiling widely and others bending her head back so tears don't flowed on her cheek

And all what was coming on Gauri's mind that it's not fair

From the beginning it's not fair for Anika

Not fair for her to carry such heavy burden since she was 5 or maybe even before her birth this burden was meant for her

For 13 years she was looking for where her heart belongs and when she found it, she found how cruel it was treated from her own blood

Not fair to stay all her life in the orphanage with dream of her family that she found shattered

And not fair to have such hopeless hope and think that the Singh Oberoi's gardener is somewhere there waiting for to finally hold her between his arms, when it's for sure he died !!!

Gauri whispered without thinking: not fair

Anika looked at her and smiled widely: what is not fair?

Gauri swallowed and said: I (Then she shook her head and said) I just don't want you to have false hope for a minute I thought like you but it doesn't make sense If he was alive

Anika shook her head and said strictly: he is alive ( Then she smiled and said) I feel it was him, life is that fair Gauri, god I wish if I saw him but (Then her smile vanished) he was so thin He must suffered so much, maybe he still is suffering (Then she nodded with wide smile) but I will make it up to him I will find him and take care of him and he will never need anything in this world (then she smiled and said) I feel my heart is healing, Gauri

Gauri held her head and said: it's all my fault I should have kept my mouth shut

Anika: why you don't believe me?

Gauri: because it can't be, he is dead from 18 years it's not possible that suddenly from nowhere

Anika interrupted: I was dead for 13 and I came from nowhere, by coincidence you chose the beauty salon I work in from all the ones in the street and by coincidence it was me who did your hair and you pulled my hand to here and here I am why can't he be alive? Maybe my grandfather didn't kill him too maybe he had enough mercy to save us both but not enough to not separate us from my mother Because he think this the best for her

Gauri looked at her sadly then she whispered kindly

Gauri: it doesn't work this way, Surbhi; your father wasn't five and I don't assume he lost his memory like TV dramas he was a man and apparently free then why he didn't come back for his wife and daughter why he is just throwing roses at their gate

Anika shook her head and said

Anika: I don't know but he must have a reason for this You read about him He is kind and brave but m maybe He is scared of my grandfather or Shivaay or maybe even me I did scared him when he was over the tree

(Then she nodded yes hard and said )

Anika: I have to talk to my mother (Then she smiled and said) she must will believe me She must feel him like I do now

Gauri looked at Anika's sadly as she went towards Jhanvi's room where Jhanvi was sitting on the bed and caressing her three painted flowers and humming and she smiled widely

Anika: ma?

Jhanvi: Surbhi? My baby? You want something?

Anika smiled widely and said: I didn't send these roses for you, but another man climbed the tree and toss them inside He climbed down so fast, papa can climb trees like me, right?
