A boat (Shikara) filled up with All kind of colourful seasonal flowers, was floating towards the Lake side. A Kashmiri guy (seems to be from far) dressed in local Outfit was rowing across the lake, though the Shikara was struggling to come fore amidst the Frozen parts of the water surface. Finally when The boat was almost near the ferry, Anika got stunned gazing at the face of the Guy.

"What kind of joke it is? Shivaay"
"Joke.. but I just said Sorry.. Sorry for being so rude to you, to your brother" He was left stupefied.
"Rude?" Anika could not help laughing sarcastically, "You were just rude? Aur Ruthless, A ruthless person who does business in the most cheapest and meanest way. Your words, Mr Oberoi. I borrowed." She threw all the flowers on his face, which He brought to her and looked away.
"I thought You would forgive me" He looked down to hide the tears.
"oh.. You thought? And why pray? Am I supposed to forgive you, after knowing and suffering all these. And what about that poor soul? He does not even know that his father is still under treatment, struggling against death! Should I still forgive you? He is my brother damn it! And If you try to harm him further" She snapped her fingers in front of his face and warned him "I wont think twice before stabbing you. That Last time I just backstabbed The company but now I wont hesitate to commit another crime, that too for real" She walked past him.

Shivaay was feeling dumbfounded with the ongoing situations and all those past incident narrated by Anika. He shook his head and decided going against his arrogant rough persona.
"I have to pray for their forgiveness or else I will not be able to forgive myself. Think Shivaay Think, There must be some way to reach Anika's heart... wait! Why should I have to reach her heart? I just need her remission, nothing more or less" He murmured walking around the lounge of Oberoi's Guest house..............
"Chaaaachaaaaa" Anika preached at the top of her voice.
"Boliye Madam..oops.. Didi.. nehi.. Madam.." Shakeeb Chacha came running, His breathings were uneven due to hurry.
"Didi.. yeh kya Madam madam laga rakha hain.. Aap ke beti jaisi toh hoon main..Aap naaam leke bhi pukar sakte hain"
"Haan" His weary eyes got pooled with happy tears, "Anika beta tum ko aj hi wapas jana hoga?" He could not hold himself back but asking his heart out.
"Hmm Chacha.. actually It became quite late now" She stared at their family portraits hanging on the wall. "I have not yet met my Dadaji after coming back to India.. Before it gets too late, I have to go back to my family, Even I sent my brother to Him, One of my good friends helped me in this." She sighed.
"Ab phir kab aaogi?"
"I will come, soon if possible" She made a fake frown, "But You have to promise me that You will take care of yourself, This house is yours as well, So You and your family can stay here, there is no need to stay at the outhouse And take care of this House and these photos. Alvida" She traced the photos with her fingers and left for Mumbai.
