Entry 2

So here we have the second entry! Though it's a sad one,let's see how it goes!

Shivika:The Power Of True Love💕

Shivika-the name itself described how the couple was. They were Made For Each Other. They were independent-didn't care whatever the society spoke,behind their backs. They only just knew one thing-love. The love they had,could never be imagined with someone else. If Shivaay was the Romeo,then Anika,the Juliet. But,all love stories are not those "fairy tale" types. The true love story is when you can even  sacrifice your lives for each other. Something like this hastened with them.

Anika Rajput,a simple girl,who could never let any external problem to interfere in her studies. The sportive,intelligent and breathtaking looks made her an all rounder. People may think that she must have a lot of ego. No,it's not true. The simple down-to-earth girl,the girl having the most sweetest voice on earth,with her friendly nature,became the most wanted girlfriend in the college. But her heart was only with one guy-her Shivaay.

Shivaay Singh Oberoi,the man ever girl dreamt of. His well-tuned body,an expert of tennis,an awesome guitarist and the hardworking intelligent student made him the heartthrob of the college. But he only had one girl in his life,whom he had promised to make his,forever-his Anika.

They used to be college lovers. They first met in the college band,with Anika the lead vocalist,and Shivaay,the lead guitarist. They didn't perform jazz or something pop,instead,they performed pleasant, melodious songs. They were gradually falling in love. Soon,they had to part their ways,for extra studies. But,this wasn't the end. Four years later,they met again. The same cheerful Anika,and the romantic Shivaay. Their love emerged more and more,finally bringing them to take an important decision-getting married. Shivaay proposed her,and that day became their engagement. She felt delighted with the proposal.

Soon,Shivika were married and we're leading a happy life. But this isn't a happy story. It's a tragic one,right? So the villain was none other than Shivaay's mother Pinky. Pinky liked Anika,as she was a different and trustworthy girl,and the daughter of Jahnvi,her best friend. But she doubted that Anika's family was hiding something. She thought to get details about Anika,her brother Omkara,and her parents Tejvi.

Parallel to this,Anika was pregnant with Shivaay's child. She gave birth to a beautiful girl-Anushi. The name was kept by Gauri(Shivaay's sister and Omkara's wife and Anika's sister-in-law),Rudra (Shivaay's brother),and Bhavya(Rudra's fiance). The name itself meant "brave". And as it was a very unique name,the girl was herself a unique one. A sweet,optimistic girl who showed characteristics of both her parents. Friendly with everyone,seeking love of all elders was what exactly Anushi was.

Today was Bhavya's first rasoi. She prepared everything and was serving everyone,when a loud voice came. Everyone turned to see Pinky standing with a smirk on her face,and a depressed Tejvi and RiKara at the entrance gate.

Pinky:bade hawa main ud rahe the na bhaisaab aap? Ab kya hua?
Shakti:pinky,yeh kaise baat kar rahi ho tum?
Pinky:aap shaant rahe Shakti ji. Shivaay,yeh log bohoth bade frauds hai. Itna Ghamand tha na unhe,apni beti ka? Par sach sabke saamne hai. Anika Unki asli beti nahi hai!

Pinky started badmouthing Anika's family. She stopped when she heard a loud voice,of Shivaay.
Shivaay:okay just stop it mom! I already know this truth. Shaadi se pehle,Tej uncle ne mujhe yeh sab bataya tha. Unke bade Bhai,Anil ko apne business expand karne ke liye ek beta chahiye tha. Par jab Unki ek beti hui,unhone use Marne ki koshish ki. Unhone Unki wife Avantika to bhi maar diya. Par jab Anika ki baari aayi,tab ek accidentmain Unki death ho gayi.
Tej:aur Mujhe mere Bhai ki harkaton pe sharam aayi. Maine Anika ko apni beti maankar use paala.
Pinky:Shayad aap bhool rahe hai,Shivaay Singh Oberoi ko naam khoon khandaan se zyaada aur kisi cheez se farq nahi padta. Shivaay,you goes and give Anika divorces. Also take the custody of Anushi in your hands. YEH LADKI MERI BAHU KABHI NAHI BAN SAKTI!
Shivaay:mom! I've accepted Anika after knowing her truth. And if you cannot accept Anika as your bahu,then it's OK. We'll leave this house today itself.

Saying this,he dragged Anika to their room and started packing their clothes.

Anika:Shiv.....
Shivaay:it's enough Anika. I bear all insults,but nothing against you. You trust me right?
Anika:haan par......
Shivaay:no buts. Mom has crossed her limits. First of all,she always was strict towards you. Never showed any kind of sweetness. What can you expect? A woman always giving you pain and sorrow,and you are still taking her side?
Anika:I'm not taking her side.......but I saw her face before you dragged me here. She was crying Shivaay! Whatever maybe get attitude,but she's your mom. She felt broken and became a downcast the very moment you blasted out on her. What must she be feeling? Have you ever thought?

But her convincing was not effective. She left with Shivaay and their daughter,Anushi. They were living in a mansion in Pune,where Ruvya and RiKara usually visited them. They hid their distressing,blue life with a simple smile. But this wasn't the end of their love. Shivaay worked really hard,and with Anika's support,they soon became successful in life. It served that happiness was returning to them,unless one day came,which became themost disgusting and distressing day of their lives. 
______________________________________
Today was Valentine's Day. Shivaay was returning from office,when he thought to gift a bouquet of roses for his dear wife. Only if she knew that the storm had already arrived in their house.

"aa.....aap yahan kya kar rahi hai?" Anika asked a heavy-hearted Pinky. After Shivaay left,the world was over for her. Being an over possesive mom,she couldn't come out of the dilemma that her son had left. She always held Anika for the reason of separating her son. Anika was standing in front of a mournful and melancholic mother.

Pinky:Kyun? Main apne bete se nahi mil sakti kya?
Anika:par Shivaay office se laut rahe hai. He's such in a problem.
Pinky:problem toh mere saamne hi khadi hai. Tu hi meri problem hai. Sirf teri vajah se mera beta mujhse door ho gaya. Aur aaj,Main is problem ko khatam kar ke aaram se jee sakungi.
Anika:aap kehna kya chahti.......

She stopped when she saw a gun in Pinky's hand. Pinky's hand on the trigger,Anushi,her first target. The door opened with Shivaay entering talking to Om on the phone. Anika rushed towards them,and the next sound heard was a gunshot. In a fraction of a second,Anika was lying on the floor,blood oozing out from her heart. She was shot in her aorta! A shocked 2 yr Anushi ran to Shivaay and he held the kid in his arms. He couldn't forget what his mother had done. He shouted Anika's name loudly and ran towards her lifeless figure laid on the ground. Rikara and Ruvya had made a plan to celebrate Valentine's Day and we're just reaching. They reached and witnessed the whole scene,too. Pinky was thrown out,and it started raining heavily.

Gauri held Anushi,while Shivaay took Anika,and was hearing her last breaths.

"Anika,Anika utho!Dekho,tum Mujhe chhod kar nahi jaa sakti! Wake up! Please😭😭😭"

The next moment,Shivaay felt a heart attack. Being a cardio patient,he had already faced minor ones earlier. But this was a severe one. They were sharing their last moments together. Everyone crying. Om and Rudy trying their best to make Shivaay leave Anika's hand. But,this was the power of true love. Shivaay's body collapsed beside Anika's and they breathed their last breaths in each others embrace. That day was the most pensive day of RiKara and Ruvya,loosing them. But,they saw the smile on their faces. They had even witnessed the power of true love,the evergreen love story of Shivika.

______________________________________
Ten years later,Anushi was reading this book which was published by her Bua/Mami,Gauri. She recalled the moments through the pictures of her childhood rewinding those precious memories,that she had once doesn't with her parents. Her Dadi was sent to jail,her parent's love story known to the world,and she herself addressing Gauri and Bhavya as "Maa" and "choti Maa" and Omkara and Rudra as "Papa" and "chote papa" respectively,and not to forget,her bonding growing stronger with Gaurika and Ruhi.

Gauri took Anushi to her room to sleep,and the scene closing with Anushi cuddling with the photo frame of her parents with she as an infant,sleeping soundly.
