Meanwhile ..

Anika closed the door of the office room then she smiled faintly to Pratap who was adjusting his wheel chair behind his desk

Anika: do you need anything else from me ?

Pratap: I heard you were sick and fainted, will you be okay to attend the welcoming party of our guests? if you still feel tired I can cancel it.

Anika shook her head: no not at all, we need some happiness here, may I be excused ?

Pratap nodded faintly and Anika was about to go but Pratap said quickly

Pratap: Princess Surbhi, wait

Anika turned with a faint smile as Pratap said in low tone

Pratap: I know you heard my talk with Hrithik about the Singh Oberoi's Son

Anika smile vanished and looked at him for a moment then she frowned sadly

Anika: yes I did and I don't wish to speak about that

Pratap frowned sadly: you have to understand that I didn't lie to you, I care for you and what I asked Hrithik to do is ..

Anika frowned sadly: you asked Hariom to lie to me and tell me that Shivaay moved on, you knew that Shivaay is in pain and that I am too and asked him to do that to me, how can you say you care for me ? you know that Prince Hiran want to hurt me and will do anything for the throne, you warned me from him and Hariom and said that you " wanted" that marriage for me, but you still want it, so how can you say you didn't lie ?

Pratap: I said that to Hrithik not to you (then he frowned) I told him what he wanted to hear, I don't trust Hiran's son, and Arjun wanted you to hear that so you won't trust me

Anika sighed and sat on the chair and shook her head

Anika: I feel like a ball

Pratap confused: a what ?

Anika: everyone is kicking me to the other, I don't know who I should trust and believe (then she looked at Pratap ) So you lied to Hariom and didn't mean anything of this but you were going to tell me the truth later, right ?

Pratap looked down with a frown and Anika face softened as Pratap swallowed

Anika: you don't trust Hariom and you told him what he wanted to hear but it was the truth

Pratap: I want the best for you, I told you I want for you the glory and the royal blood to your line and the Singh Oberoi's son won't give you that, what he did to your family's name can't be forgiven and his blood is not the blood you want for your children (then he frowned ) his family's history with ours full of disgrace and he is a commoner (then he put his hand on Anika's ) you have to marry a pure royal blood, you are the last daughter, that is your family's right on you and other action but that is punishable severely (then he shook his head ) and I can't lose you too my child, I will not, I love you like my own child not Arjun's, or Sardar's, you are my own daughter and I wish for you what I would have wished for my own, you understand?

Anika looked at him with sad pained face then she nodded and patted on his hand and said in low tone

Anika: I understand, just don't stress yourself

Pratap smiled faintly: you are not a ball to me

Anika smiled and patted on his hand but then she heard screams and her eyes widened

Anika: what was that ?

Pratap gave her his hand with wide eyes and she held it and walked with him out of the office room and they saw everyone running towards the hall as a Guard pulling Angelie who was screaming in fear and pain from how hard the guard was holding her towards Hiran who was standing on the stairs and behind him Sona and Leon, and the Guard pushed her at Hiran's feet, she screamed as she fell on her knees in front of him, Hrithik and Dahab screamed
