Holding Onto Life✔️

part : 28

Ansh started to wriggle in her arms, he was trying to come out of Anika's arms which is his habit now. He is growing so he likes to explore the house and new environments. Anika kissed Ansh's cheeks and let him go but then she remembered what Tej said. She knows his nature and guessed that he is jealous but still his words hurt her. She needs to continue working with them because she does not trust anyone else. She closed the door and sat in front of Ansh to play with him.

"When will you say mumma?", Anika asked with a pout and threw the ball towards Ansh. Ansh tried to catch the ball but couldn't, he fell down and then crawled towards the ball. Anika smiled seeing Ansh giggling after using papa for her. He is a kid and these antics make her laugh, he said papa first just because of her. She used to repeat papa word many times in front of Ansh because she used to miss Shivaay. Whenever alone with Ansh, she started to narrate stories and in the end, she would talk about Shivaay. Ansh threw the ball towards her which was an inch away from her, Anika picked the ball and played with Ansh for some time.

She spends most of her time with Ansh after coming back. His smile can light her mood up after a bad day. She always feels Shivaay's presence near her because of Ansh. Ansh started playing with his other toys, after some time he got bored and came back towards Anika and layed on her lap. Her thoughts were revolving around Tej's accusation when he came here. Anika kissed his forehead and then caressed his small hair.

Ansh snuggled in Anika's arms and started playing with her hair, Anika made a bun and then started to pat his back softly to make him sleep. He plays with her hair and pulls them harshly which scares her. After some time she noticed him sleeping and smiled. This is not the first time Ansh came in her lap but every time she feels blessed to have a child. Feeling Ansh in her arms is always beautiful to her. She picked up the mobile phone to call Shivaay if he picked then she will tell him that she is missing him and if didn't then she will make an excuse to finalise the date for the function. She is not ready for it but needed a reason to talk with him. She called him but he picked up so she messaged him

"Select any date after a week for function ", Anika messaged and waited for his reply. After 2 minutes her phone pinged with his reply notification

"26th. Is that fine with you?", Shivaay asked

"Yes, Come on the 25th. Are you busy? ", Anika messaged

"Sure if you will save your time for me. Yes I am in a meeting ", Shivaay replied

"I will give my whole day to you and sorry for the disturbance", Anika said

"Done. I will book my flight then ❤️", Shivaay said. Anika smiled seeing the heart emoji, these small conversations are also very close to her because these conversations light her mood up without disturbing Shivaay. Her heart felt light now after talking with him, this sweet conversation is also enough for her. She wants to tell him about Tej, not to accuse him but she needs someone to hear her problems. Shivaay is the only one who is a good listener whenever she shares her problem with him.

A whole week also passed in hiring employees and working to start up the company. Anika checked everything and made sure everything is fine. She was working day and night just for his company with Dhruv and Khanna. Shivaay knew about it and made sure they keep her safe, her safety always scare him because she calls him late at night when going back home. He fears that someone harmed her. He won't have any problem with her working late at night, he has a problem with strangers coming into the office and meeting her. Sometimes he feels bad that he is not there and other men are helping her whereas he is helpless. He wants to be there in place of Dhruv or Khanna.
