Imposter for hire

Part 52.

Anika was walking God knows where.... probably to her home....as the saying goes people might abandon you but not your family....she's still in her bridal attire...people gossiping to her that she is a golddigger.....a whore...who just came for the catch ( money).....others saying she's an embarrassment to the Indian women.....others being superstitious.....preventing their children...most especially the girl child from being closer to her....they thought that she may infect them with her behavior.....but Anika didn't pay heed to all that....all she was thinking about was Shivaay.... because he was the one who lost a lot.....he was played for a fool......not to mention the embarrassment he must be going through....the dream wedding he has always dreamt of..... shattered into flames.

Anika was lost in thoughts that she didn't see a car coming over her way.... fortunately the driver stopped the breaks on time....she came to check if she was fine.....it was Gauri.....she immediately recognized her and took her to their home.

She kept mum the entire journey....she knew what Anika must be undergoing through might be a lot.

She reached their house.

She called out to her but their was no response...she knew she might be heavily traumatized....she did by herself....she took her out.

They arrived ( the door was opened).

Shinky saw them...they saw how their daughter was emotionless... traumatized....in a spur of moment...she went to her room and locked the door.

They thanked Gauri....Gauri replying that...that's what friends are for...in the high and low moments....she left as she had other things to take care of.

Anika's room.
The first thing she saw was the cardboard of SSO....she hugged it tightly....with tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Am sorry Shivaay....I didn't mean for all this to happen....it just happened.....I know....the pain am feeling right now doesn't match what you must be experiencing now....you must be suffering a million times more....but Shivaay...yes I admit everything was a lie...but my feelings for you...were real and pure...no doubt about that," Anika said to the cardboard.

Later on.
Mehta Mansion.
Bani comes in.
"And what do you think you are doing over here?" Mehta asked.
"Dad isn't this also my home," Bani replied.
"As am still alive and kicking this entire mansion solely is mine do you get that,"Mehta replied.
"Dad what are you implying...I don't quite get you?" Bani asked confused.
"Come on Bani don't make me laugh....as if you don't know what happened because of your foolishness I lost the emerge with the Oberoi's...all because you didn't want to marry Shivaay," Mehta replied angrily.
"Dad how many times should I tell you....I don't love Shivaay...not now...not even in the future," Bani replied.
"So...then do you love that pathetic dumpster boy...who I don't even see the future with you....he doesn't match up to us......come on sweetheart you still have some time...think it over.....go and tell Shivaay..you were undergoing a phase...maybe with the hurry of getting married," Mehta replied.
"No dad...I thought it over clearly...I don't want to spend the rest of my life with Shivaay....it's not like I hate him...but we only share a platonic relationship...the one I want to spend the rest of my life is Veeranshu...his the one I genuinely love,"Bani explained.
"Over my dead body....is either him or me... what's going to be?" Mehta blackmailed.
"You know what dad...for all my life....I have been trying my best to make you love....but you've once...showed any concern or affection to me...whereas Veeranshu....the few weeks I have been with him....he has showered me with lots of affection that you couldn't give me...so that's it.. am going with Veeranshu," Bani replied.
"Fine then...I can see you have made up your mind....and I respect it...as we are in a democratic world....and I have also made up mind... LEAVE this house....I don't want to see you ever again....at this point of time...I now longer consider you as my daughter," Mehta replied.
"Fine then...if you think... am going to helplessly beg you then...you are mistaken.....am leaving for good never will you see my face again," Bani replied leaving.

She opened the door and stormed out.

Mr Mehta wasn't bothered because he was definitely sure she won't be able to survive with all the luxuries she was used to and will eventually come back home.

Oberoi mansion.
Shivaay's room.
Omru tried reaching out to him...but it was over no use...he wasn't in a mood to talk with anyone so they left to give him a room for himself.

After finishing venting out his anger by breaking things in his room....he then sat on the floor....with blood bleeding from his veins..he didn't actually care because what he underwent through was much worse.

"How could you be an idiot Shivaay....you should have noticed it right from day one....she wasn't your Bani...rather an imposter......from the way she spoke...carried out herself she wasn't Bani.....I poured my heart out to her....but she wasn't  Bani.....how could you been such a fool Shivaay....but not any longer.... nobody is going to ever take advantage of me.....the trusting...kind and caring Shivaay Singh Oberoi....is dead for now onwards am not going to allow anybody and I mean anybody take advantage of my innocence like that.... NEVER.....I will be as cold as my dad....Tej Singh Oberoi....who prioritize business over the heart...that's what am going to be....you know come to think of it...dad was right.....we should put the heart on the backseat and the mind in front....and am going to do just that....first I have to clean up this entire mess...then sleep as tomorrow I have to wake up early to go to work," Shivaay said to himself.
