By walking on coals you are doing no good to God, then why would God fulfil your demands ? Once he had visited this mosque with his Dadi, these were Shivaay Singh Oberoi's thoughts when he saw people walking on burning coals.

He had never felt so miserable, he never had any fear of loosing someone and that's why he couldn't understand the mindset of those who were ready to burn their feet. Today he himself was standing on those burning coals to get his wife back.

Shivaay took each step as slow as he could, to feel atleast one percent of the pain she was going through. The burns caused to his feet were doing nothing to him as the doctor's words more painful.

"When she was shot in her stomach her right lung was damaged and internal bleeding had caused it to be weak. After that she had some breathing problems for which she was taking medicines. The poison has affected whole of her body but the same lung is affected severely. She's not able to breathe on her own. It's impossible to save her. It's upto you all if you want to keep her on ventilator or... to let her go."

Not at all. He wasn't going to let her go. She had so much to do, the most important being listening his confession. He had seen her spit blood and begging the doctors to let her go as she was unable to bear the pain. He couldn't understand exactly what amount of money would give him back his Anika. It was getting impossible for him to stay without hearing her voice.

He didn't realise exactly when the path of those coals finished and the Saint kept his hand on his head. He could only hear, "Allah tujhe Khaali haath nahin bhejenge (Allah won't let you go empty handed)."

Shivaay tied the thread of his hopes on the marble screen. He rested his head on the screen and his tears flowed, for the first time in his life of 29 years.

"Punish me, for having underestimated your power. Why are you giving pain to her ? Meri Anika mujhe lauta do. Agar usse mujhse dur kiya toh meri bhi jaan tumhe leni hogi. Aur Shivaay Singh Oberoi bhut ziddi hai, jhel nahi paoge usse (Give me my Anika back. If not, then you have to kill me too. And Shivaay Singh Oberoi is really stubborn, you won't be able to tolerate him)" Shivaay said in his tadi, but his tears betrayed him the next moment.

"I'm sorry. It's an old habit, it won't change in a day. Please, I'm begging you, Return her or take me too." Shivaay cried with his hands joined and head bowed down. He looked at the Mosque for the last time and went to the hospital again.

Rajvanshis were already sitting infront of the OT but Shivaay was least bothered about anyone's presence or absence. He stood infront the glass wall and stared her lifeless figure. His face turned red in anger as he saw the doctor leaving the ward and the nurse was going to cover his Anika's face. He went inside and roared like a lion, scaring the hell out of the nurse and the doctor.

"How dare you to cover my wife's face like this ? She is alive, did you hear me ?" Shivaay shouted despite his brothers' trials. He took her in his embrace and asked everyone to leave him alone. Nobody had any idea how to make him understand. The Rajvanshi Family was in greif but they didn't fail to notice the word 'wife' from Shivaay's mouth.

"Get up, Anika. Enough of Your drama. I'm sorry, for telling you to go away. But this is not the way to take revenge. Come back to me, this Billu needs you. Sorry ! Because I could see the pain your eyes held but never tried to know your inner turmoils, I just simply ignored your pain. Come back to me." He cried and held her hand that was as cold as ice.

"Get up, I'll tell you something. You'll be very happy after listening what I'm going to say." Shivaay said but she chose not to listen to him, making him cry more.

"You want me to bow down ? Fine. I wanted to tell you that...I love you. I'm late but you have to forgive me. You remember, you said to me once, that it's better to be late than never ? I listen everything you say, can't you listen to me for once ? Why don't you understand that I'll die damn it !" Shivaay shouted as he cupped her cheeks in his palms.

He felt something wet on his fingers and realised those were her tears. "She still cares for me." He thought and smiled as she clutched his shoulder as tight as she could. Her eyelids moved but she couldn't open her eyes.

Om smiled and the family rejoiced as they heard the beeping of the machine, indicating Anika's heartbeats. The doctors injected Anika with medicine to stabilise her weak body.

An hour passed and silence prevailed in the waiting room as Om revealed every single thing that Gauri told him. Not even one pair of eyes was dry. Everyone had their own reason for crying their heart out. Rajvanshi's cried for having lost their daughter due to their stupidity and lack of trust. Oberois cried for not knowing the reason of Anika's tears when she used to cry. Shivaay cried for having misunderstood her instead of trying to know her past.

"Shivaay, why are your feet bleeding ?" Om panicked when he saw the red footprints of Shivaay on the floor. Rudra insisted him to come with him to have his wounds bandaged because he knew where Shivaay had gone but Shivaay denied and left from there. He drove away from the hospital and he himself didn't know where he was going.

On the other hand, Neil was upset on seeing his Aku di in that condition. He was confused when he heard Shivaay's confession and why he was guilty. He wanted to know everything that happened in Anika's life in this one and half a year, although, he didn't know how he was going to do that.

Shivaay sat on the secluded hill top, staring at the moon. This moon has witnessed all her tears and today it's witnessing his tears.

"Even you knew all her pains, struggles and wishes. But me... I was a fool, for whom she was ready to sacrifice her respect and her life." Shivaay chuckled sarcastically and said to the moon, his only companion on this secluded place.

"I thought I'll keep her happy and protect her always. But... I failed. She was the one who protected me and I always misunderstood her. And now, when I've accepted that I love her, I can't be selfish. I have to do what I know, would snatch my life from me. But it's ok, everything and anything for her happiness." Shivaay said to himself and kissed her favourite bracelet close to his heart.
