Where My Heart Belongs

Chapter 173 " A Third Chance"(4)

Meanwhile

Anika entered her room then she looked at herself in the mirror and her stomach and put her hand on her back sticking her belly forward, she looked at herself with faint smile that soon started to vanish and she held her Surbhi necklace as her eyes crowded with tears then she stood back straight and leaned on her bed as tears flow on her cheek, Shivaay opened the room faintly and Anika sat straight and wiped her tears and looked at Shivaay with teary eyes

Shivaay in low tone: Anika? I am so worried for you, are you okay? When the blood test result is coming?

Anika in low tone: I don't know, but I am fine don't worry for me, doctor Sameer told me that I just need to sleep well and eat well, stay away from stress, so if you please I need to rest

Shivaay frowned sadly as Anika leaned on her side on the bed, giving him her back; then she heard the door of the room being shut but also heard Shivaay steps and felt him leaning beside her on the bed and his hand wrapped on her waist, tears flow on her cheek more and she closed her eyes, when his hand rested on her belly

Shivaay whispered: I know you don't wish to even see me right now...

Anika turned and looked at him with teary eyes and he looked at her back and said in low tone sadly

Shivaay: but I can't handle to be away from you like you asked, you know that this is impossible (then he touched her hair) I can understand how hurt you are from my decision, but don't deny me a second chance to fix this
Anika in low tone: you called it a decision? Then you didn't change your mind about not wanting our baby.

Shivaay closed his eyes and sighed: Surbhi try to understand I want children but I can't risk having children and endangering you and the child, it is not...

Anika: If you didn't change your mind then you can't understand how hurt I am

Shivaay: Anika...

Anika: then you can't fix it

Shivaay: Anika please don't be that harsh on me; you know I can't handle...

Anika: leave me alone please (then she cried more) and if you are worried that I am angry from you, don't worry, I can't be angry with you, I am just very sad and really hurt right now and you can't sooth me that time, I am sorry

Shivaay looked at her sadly as she sobbed on her pillow and he stood and walked towards the door then he got out of the room; only to find Julio standing on the stairs and looking at him with wide eyes seeing him getting out of the room, Shivaay eyes widened as he held on the door knob

Meanwhile

Pratap caressed Mr. Pickles while looking towards Gauri that was with shivering hand preparing a cup of tea, she put it on the tray and her hand was Shivering as she put the tray

Pratap: Sit down Gauri Singh Oberoi

Gauri eyes widened and swallowed then she reached to the chair and sat slowly on it

Gauri in low tone: I didn't mean to insult you or anyone like Princess Roxana said; I am just very loyal to Prince Omkara.

Pratap smiled faintly: loyal?! Okay Gauri don't worry, I didn't bring you here to punish you, I just want to talk to you (then he said in low tone) how are you being treated here?

Gauri: I am being treated very suitable to my position as a first maid and have no complains and very thankful to you and Princess Malika, Prince!!

Pratap smiled: you are very smart like your brother

Gauri frowned confused: Rudra?

Pratap chuckled: no I meant Shivaay, if only he was as likeable

Gauri smiled widely then her smile lessened and said in low tone
