Shivaay was completely shattered on hearing the ultimate truth of his life. He was not at all in the condition to think anything rationally. He just drove home. On his way, he was so lost that he could not even think what he should do at that moment. On returning, he quietly walked towards his room and closed the door from behind. He kept on thinking about Anika and Ananya. He said to himself,"I can't believe... I can't believe ... Ananya meri beti hai. Anika... Anika uski ma hai.Agar Delhi chorne se pehle vo pregnant thi to usne mujhe bola kyu nehi?Ya phirYa phir aisa bhi to ho sakta hai na keke usko Manaali jaane ke baad ye pata chala that she was pregnant." Shivaay was very impatient. He said,"Chahe jo kuch bhi hua ho. Chahe ho Ananya meri beti. Itne saalo tak nehi aayi to ab ye mere zindagi mein kyu aayi hai? Achcha bhala to tha main aur Ananya ne bhi kaha tha ke Anika usike school mein paraati hai jiska matlab ye hai ke unko financial itna crisis bhi nehi hai. To phir kyu? Kahi ... Kahi ye Anika ki planning to nehi hai? Kahi Anika ne Ananya ko jaan bujkar to mere paas nehi bheja hai taaki vo meri property ... No... No way Anika aisi larki nehi hai. Vo aisa kabhi nehi kar sakti, itna to main jaanta hu usko aur agar aisa karna hota to apne pregnancy ke baare mein pata chalte hi vo iska faayda utha sakti thi par vo yaha se chali gayi hamesha hamesha ke liye,meri zindagi se dur,apni family se dur, sabse dur yahatak ke usne mere baare mein Ananya ko kuch nehi bola, mera naam tak nehi." Shivaay started walking like a caged tiger. He said,"Ab chahe situation kaisi bhi ho,the truth is Ananya is my daughter aur main is sach se agar bhaagne ki koshish bhi karunga to ye sach badal nehi jaayega.I have to face the truth." He then dashed on his bed and said,"Par iska ye matlab bhi to nehi hai ke main Ananya ko sabke saamne accept karlu. It can't be. It can never happen. Meri aur mere family ki ek izzat hai, sab kuch destroy ho jaayega. Par... par main sach ko chupa bhi to nehi sakta. Ek na ek din sabko ye baat pata chalni hi hai tab? Tab main kya karunga? Main mom dad ka saamna kaise karunga tab?" He grabbed his head and said,"Itna sar dard kar raha hai mera ke lagta hai abhi phat jaayega. Ufff! Maine kabhi nehi socha tha ke mera ateet jisey maine bhula diya tha vo is tareeke se mere saamne aakar khara ho jaayega." He sat quietly on his room and didn't even take his dinner.

At night, when everyone was sleeping, he went to Ananya's room. Ananya was sleeping. He sat beside her bed and looked at her very carefully. He stared at her face and tried to find out some similarities with him. He slowly held her hand and slowly and softly brushed hit with his hand as if he was trying to believe whether she was really his daughter. He said to himself in mind,"Kya sach mein ye meri beti hai? Saare saabut mere saamne hone ke baad bhi mujhe yakeen kyu nehi ho raha hai? Main hamesha bachcho se nafrat karta tha aur aaj main khud ek bachche ka baap hu. Mujhe dhundhte huye ye yaha ek ajnabee sheher mein akeli aa gayi, agar kuch ho jaata to? Iski ma pata nehi kitni pareshaan ho rahi hogi iske liye. Kahi usey ye to nehi pata chal gaya ke ye mere paas hai? Agar kahi vo usey lene ke liye yaha ... Nehi isse pehle ke Anika yaha pohoche mujhe isey waapas bhejne ka intezaam karna hoga." He was confused at his own thoughts as to why he was scared to face Anika. Shivaay brushed away his thoughts and made a final decision to send her back to Manaali.

[ 1 WEEK LATER ]

For one week Shivaay noticed Ananya's each and every movement and tried to find similarities and he noticed that both had many similarities. One day Shivaay called his best friend Omkara Raichand to discuss with him about the matter of Ananya. Both of them were childhood buddies and always used to remember each other during crisis. Omkara was a professional wildlife photographer. Omkara while entering the house crossed his paths with Ananya who was watering the flowers in the garden and helping the gardener. He was a bit surprised to see a child in Shivaay's house and thought that without informing him, Shivaay had married and had a daughter. She came near the girl and said,"Hello little girl?" She replied,"Ananya Singh Oberoi." On hearing this Omkara was pretty much confirmed that Shivaay had married and this was his daughter. He asked,"Beta tumhaare papa hai andar?" Ananya replied,"Papa???Mere papa andar kaha honge?Mai to unhiko dhundhne aayi hu." Omkara made a confusing face and was about to ask something else, Shivaay arrived and said,"Hey buddy aa gaya tu? Come on." Omkara stopped him and said,"Hey Shiv ek baat bata ye teri beti aisa kyu bol rahi hai ke tu ghar par nehi hai,vo tujhe dhundhne aaya-" Shivaay closed his mouth and said,"Aate hi apne baato ki dukaan khol daali,pehle andar chal." Shivaay almost dragged him inside.
