OBEROI MANSION

The whole mansion was silent as the night was falling more , people sleep peacefully during the same. But Oberoi Mansion lost it's peace on the same day of Anika's departure. The foundation of the great wall and the thread which binds the family broke drastically and it pulled the whole family down.

Never did the elderly dadi thought her family would scatter into pieces , which can never be joined together. Little did she know the glue which is coming can join the pieces together as well as cover up the cracks. All the rooms closed and lights dim except one room. The great wall's room.

The whole room was dark with one single lamp light as if the person doesn't need any light for his survival. He was glued to the portrait hanging on his dim colored wall. Caressing it he found his tears already spilling upon it.

" Why? " Shivaay whispered as his tears were falling on the portrait continuously.

He is waiting till today in one belief , she would return back to his arms and he would hide her from every one .Waiting for these many years wasn't easy for him , he would die second by second thinking about her. At times even he tried to kill himself , one thought always stopped him from going further : what if Anika comes back? what if she sees him like this and feel guilty.

No, no! He will never let it happen. Shivaay's so called mother even tried to make him marry again and get a heir of her own , she tried persuading him telling Anika might have been dead. The same moment he stopped talking with his mom, till now he never spoke to his mother like before. It was as if her existence was null in his life. How the hell can she think  , his Anika would have left him in this cruel world and never return?

Shivaay was damn sure , his Anika is alive . Because his heart is beating even after Anika left .Till he is alive , Shivaay's heart will only beat for Anika . The day it stops beating , his Anika is dead. "Come back at least now! "  Shivaay whispered and left the portrait , making way towards his bar.

Alcohol kept him alive these years , he wouldn't be able to sleep without it's help. The deep pain which he held for years comes out through his imagination. The imagination of Anika being near him and talking , made him survive for years . Moments after he gulps the hard and risky content down his throat , Anika arrives from no where and sits beside him.Today also was a day like another but it's a No.

He sat down on his usual place pouring a glass of whiskey , the raw content burnt is throat with it's hardness but he didn't show a bit of any reaction. Has he become that emotionless  and tasteless that he doesn't feel any pain , the biggest pain was inside his heart and never took name of leaving him. The same pain dominates every other pain he feels.

Thirst knocked the working Ayra in the middle of the night , her work pattern never changes. Out of twenty four hours , four hours of sleep . She was deeply engrossed in her work which led to no trace of time , lifting the empty jug she was indeed forced to go down the mansion.

The whole corridor was dark only with the corridor light on . Some where  other than the usual lights , the brightness increased. Curiously she went following the bright ray. The moment she got the light her blood boiled looking at the scene in front. Not even thinking twice she went in and stood in front of the person.

" I think you need to leave the house " Shivaay heard a very cold tone evolving from the side where he was sitting.

" Uh? "  he questioned confusingly in a drunken state. The moment Shivaay turns  , Ayra was standing there crossing her arms. He was looking at her with drunken emotion in his eyes .
