Third Person’s POV
It’s been 3 days… but still, everything was not normal. Anika didn’t want to come out of her
room, because of Aniket and Niti's much effort now she comes out of her room
during the time of breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
She wasn’t going to the office till now since the incident of her engagement.
Mihir has come two to three times but she didn’t meet with him.
Everyone was very worried about Anika. The jolly, naughty Anika has become quiet. No one was liking it.
Kritika was in her room doing some work on her laptop when a knock came on her door. The door was opened, so tilting her face from the laptop she saw Anika was
standing.
Kritika was a little surprised at first to see Anika. Because these days Anika never came
out of her room alone. Someone needed to drag her outside.
KRITIKA : Niki… honey come.
Kritika put aside her laptop and sat beside Anika.
Seeing Anika's face Kritika's heart clenched in pain. There was a dark circle under
Anika's eyes. There was not that jolly expression on Anika’s face anymore.
KRITIKA : Niki, do you want anything from me?
Anika was quiet for some time, taking a deep breath she started speaking.
ANIKA : Mumma, I… I don’t want to… live here anymore. I don’t want to live in this
country anymore.
Kritika was shocked to hear this from Anika. She was looking at her (Anika) shockingly.
Even after college, she didn’t go abroad when Kabir offered her an internship
in his company. She had said “I can’t live without my family. I will not go
anywhere.”
Kritika was shockingly looking at Anika, the girl who never wanted to stay away from her
family even only for one day. Now she suddenly didn’t want to live with
them anymore.
KRITIKA : Honey… what are you saying? What do you mean you don’t want to live in this country anymore? You don’t want to live with us? Can you live without us?
Anika didn’t reply, she turned her face opposite side. Kritika held Anika’s chin and made her (Anika) looked at her (Kritika).
KRITIKA : Look at me Niki, answer me… can you live without us?
Anika’s eyes were already misty with tears.
ANIKA : Yes… I can. I have to Mumma.
KRITIKA : Why Niki? Why do you have to?
Some tears escaped from Anika’s eyes. Kritika wiped those tears with her hands.
KRITIKA : I want a reason Niki… give me a reason. Do you think your papa will agree?
ANIKA : That’s why I have come to you. Please help me to convince Papa.
KRITIKA : Niki, I am not convinced, so your Papa can't agree on your
nonsense request.
ANIKA : Mumma Please try to understand.
KRITIKA : what to understand Niki? What? You should start going to your office. You have
spent enough time in your room. Sitting all day in your room and doing nothing
your brain is now stopped working. That’s why you’re saying all these nonsense
things.
ANIKA : how could you say this Mumma? How could you say this is nonsense?
KRITIKA : why can’t I say this? Why? When you are speaking nonsense, why can’t I call it
nonsense?
ANIKA : Mumma please try to understand… please. Ishaan, Mihir Bhai even Rishi Ahuja… they all are calling me and messaging me. I don’t want to talk with them. I don’t want to face them.
Hearing Rishi's name like this from Anika's mouth, Kritika understood Anika's hatred
and anger towards him. She sighed. She has already talked with Nitika and Anik
about it. They understood… they have already forgiven him. They thought Rishi
was their mother’s culprit, if their mother could forgive him and they will
also forgive him. Maybe their relationship will not become like before but they
will not hate their Rishi uncle anymore. Kritika also doesn’t want her children
to hate Rishi. She has seen Rishi’s love for his children. She doesn’t want
to punish Rishi… she has already forgiven him. Kritika knows now Anika was
angry but She (Kritika) doesn’t want Anika to hate Rishi.
Kritika thoughts were broken hearing Anika's next words. Hearing Anika’s words Kritika was shocked. She couldn’t believe Anika was thinking like this.
ANIKA : Mumma whenever I think about how you felt when I was little. My existence had given you so much pain. I feel very guilty. Maybe my existence always reminded you of that bad incident. I was a burden to you guys. I will go away from all of your
life. Sorry, Mumma… I am sorry. (Started sobbing)
Kritika was too shocked to say anything… hearing Anika’s sobbing, she came back to her senses. Kritika held Anika's shoulder tightly and started scolding her.
KRITIKA : what nonsense are you thinking all day, Niki? Have you lost your mind? Your
papa should have slapped you more that day. How could you think like this?
Niki, you are my daughter…you are never a burden for me… not for your papa… not
for anyone. We all love you… they all love you very much. If they heard this
they will be very sad. We all love you, honey… don’t think like this.
Kritika was going to discuss Rishi’s topic with her when they heard Aniket's angry voice.
ANIKET : ANIKA KAPOOR… Come Downstairs RIGHT NOW.
Kritika got confused hearing Aniket’s angry loud voice. Aniket is a calm person, he rarely
gets angry… especially with his daughters. Kritika was sure that Anika has done
something serious which made Aniket’s so angry.
KRITIKA : What did you do, Niki?
Anika lowered her head confirming her mother’s suspicion.
