Holding Onto Life✔️

part: 5

After sometime Shivaay came back home and noticed Anika, Gauri and Priyanka were talking together. He smiled as he love watching them together. He asked can he join to which the trio said a yes and told him that they were talking about thier school and college life.

"Jiju how was your life in school and then in college? Did you like any girl?", Gauri asked, Shivaay remembered his past which was not happy. His mother killed his father and then herself which affected him the most. These scars always stay with him as few people still doubt him because of his father

His father was a womaniser so a few people think that he is the same as him which doesn't matter to him a lot because his family trust him and especially his wife who can argue with people if someone tried to abuse him.

"My bhaiya was smart, intelligent and genius ", Priyanka said and hugged Shivaay. Shivaay smiled and caressed her hair softly, intelligence, and smartness doesn't matter to him now. With time he understood that people see name, fame and personality. His views changed if recall his past. Even Priyanka knows that Shivaay doesn't like talking about the past because those things hurt him. He deserved love but he didn't get that in return he got abused as he was a boy. He pampered Priyanka like her parents but never thought about himself and when she grew up she realised that his innocence and childhood is already gone.

"Let's talk about present and future", Priyanka said, Anika smiled as she was about to ask the same. She always keeps in mind not to remind him about his past.

"You guys can continue I have work", Shivaay said and was about to go but Anika and Priyanka both stopped him and pulled him with them. They asked him to play with them which looked awkward to him as he was the only boy but he stayed just for the 2 important women in his life. Later Shivaay took Priyanka with him as he wants to talk with her.

"Are you fine? Tell me if there is any problem", Shivaay said and caressed Priyanka's head softly. He took a long breath to control his tears as somewhere both Anika and Priyanka are suffering and he can't see them in pain. He wants to take all thier pain to give them relief.

"I am fine bhaiya. I love you", Priyanka said and hugged him tightly. She is happy that finally she got some time with her brother which she was unable to get after marriage. Everything is changed now and she cries remembering her days in the Oberoi mansion. Yes, Daksh loves her and provides her with everything she needs but till now even he is unable to fill the loneliness that she feels remembering Shivaay.

"Love you too. Don't lose hope. You can conceive and I know my sister is very strong ", Shivaay said and kissed her forehead

"I thought I was but I'm not. I can't convince you again ", Priyanka said in a low voice

"Don't talk rubbish ", Shivaay said raising his voice a little to tell her where is her mistake

"You know sometimes God takes our test and challenges us. It's up to us how we take it because God always do everything for our betterment ", Shivaay said

"Nothing is for betterment. First, they snatched my parents and then my home and now my baby", Priyanka complained

"Oberoi mansion is your Priyanka and will be yours forever. God snatched my parents but kept me for you hana, Regarding baby so maybe God knew you are not well now. Atleast you were not considered as a mistake like I was", Shivaay said as today he again remembered that he was left alone. Anika never let him feel loneliness but still wish he had good school memories which he could share happily

"Bhaiya please don't start again because you know that you are important to all of us", Priyanka said to which Shivaay nodded as its truth.  He knows that his family can't live without him.
