I LOVE YOU❤ (Completed) ✔✅

• Surprise for shivaay •

Anika composed herself and held his hand back. Rubbing his hand with her thumb. She looked at him.

Anika " Shivaay, what you're saying and why? Do you even know? How much it hurts." she spoke with her sad voice

Shivaay " Yes. I know, I'm useless." he whimpers and looks at her

Anika "tell me the reason shivaay... I know you're hurt with the atmosphere out in hall." she locked their hands and looked at him.

Shivaay "Anika. My... family... They never...Praised me" he stutter and cries. "I won 3 awards in row... I.. Raised the business... Made it reach heights... But my dad... He... Never" he sobbed "He never said that it's because of me. He always said it's because of god." he cried...

He was hurt with shakti praising siddharth. Why he shouldn't be? After all, his dad never ever supported him nor praised him. It's not that he wants to get praised as he's good. He never wanted to hear cheesy praisings. He never wanted to take the credit of making Empire higher.. But he wanted to just hear "I'm proud of you My son" but he never said that to him. "You're doing good" would've worked too but shakti always said "God did it." shivaay always smiled at it even after feeling bad he never said anything and agreed with his dad. But today it had hurt him. Hurt him a lot.

Anika "i don't have anything to say here. You're right. They never praised you like they should do. Everyone was wrong. But shivaay they were wrong. Now, they're changed. And trust me shivaay they've changed for Good. Papa used to be like that... That was wrong, very much wrong. But, he realized his mistake, i know it's late too late, but shivaay you can try to give them a chance. I know you're hurt. You should be. Thing is hurting, even i would've been hurt. But apart from that you failed to notice that, everyone's changed. Give them a chance shivaay and they'll prove it too." she spoke cupping his face

Shivaay "Isn't it too late to change anika? My whole life, whole damn life i waited to hear him say that he's proud of me... What i didn't do? I did all the possible things to hear it but he never said it... My mom, she used to praise me but her praise always held that taunt... The taunt she used to throw at my... My...Brothers...
She too never praised me because i did all this... She praised me to show off... To taunt badi maa and bade papa...
I've never got that love which i needed, anika.
I'm not complaining anika. Okay? I'm just..." he paused and she hugged him, tight.

He opened up himself and started telling her things. The things which hurts him a lot. Which were the reason of him being cold hearted. He cried as she hugged him...

Anika "I know Shivaay, you're not complaining. You're just telling me your feelings... Do tell more." she parted...

Some times you get a golden chance to know-do something without even working for that thing, at that time. It was same for anika. She always wanted him to tell her everything... Share everything. Open up his heart and let her sooth his heart. But, he never did it. He never wanted to... And now it's happening and without any try...

Shivaay " you know anika. When i was a kid... I had dreams and wishes to achieve and live... I too wanted to play with my friends... To go on trips... To enjoy the parties. Live like there's no tomorrow... But i never got to... Bade papa and badi mama had conflict's. Their conflict's effected my brothers. My mom and dad never loved me the way, i wanted. My dadi was my only support and when you've big responsibilities in minor age, then support of parents matters the most." he swallowed

Anika felt as someone pricked her heart. Vulnerable shivaay isn't easy to see. You'll need much more than your daily strength to not break down, while handling the broken shivaay.

Shivaay "I've no complaints with them. With no one. Not a single... In fact I'm thankful to them, as because of them only, i got the chance to live with my brothers and got some golden memories." he paused "It's not like that, i love our childhood. No! I don't love it. It was worst, a worst nightmare. But we three brothers and the little prianku managed to create magical and golden memories out of those scary nightmares..." he wiped his tears and looked at anika. Who was looking at him with love, patience and calmness... He couldn't guess how much she was hurt seeing him and that's why he easily, blurt out.
