The elders and youngsters of the Oberoi mansion stared at the main door of the mansion impatiently. They were waiting for the arrival of their eldest son and their eldest daughter in law. Shivay had explained them everything, about what had happened in the mansion in their absence and concluded that he wanted to take his wife to the psychologist and that he needed his family's support in it. The family had understood and agreed to it, because they too were aware of Annika's headaches although they knew nothing about her dreams or the sleepless nights she had spent. They had felt bad of not understanding what their chirpy happy girl had been going through. Tej had recommended taking her to one of his friends who lived in London. Pinky had been a bit comprehensive at first, her daughter-in-law wasn't mad. What would the ladies in her kitty parties tell, they'd gossip about her daughter-in-law and she didn't want it at all. But then after a lot of coaxing and convincing by Shivaay and the rest of the family, she had agreed to it.
So Shivaay and Annika had gone to meet the psychologist Doctor Saumya, whom their family doctor Seema had recommended. Everyone sat their together in the living room each lost in the world of their own. What was actually going on in Annika's life?, Each one of them felt bad and helpless at the same time.
-------------------------------------------------
The sound of the horn beeped through the hallway, signalling their arrival.
"Looks like bhaiyya and bhabhi are here" Rudra almost shouted running to the door.
Annika and Shivay walked in and walked past Rudra paying no attention to him. Rudra looked all confused. Anything said or done about Shivaay bhaiyya. His bhabhi always gave him 100 percent attention each and everytime, even when he cried mountains and threw tantrums over a simple pimple. She had told that he was her baby. What had happened to her today? Had something gone wrong? He felt bad. Even the rest of the family found it strange because they knew about all the 101 disasters these two made when together and they were always together as team on one side.
Annika walked past the family briskly, almost ran along the stair case and disappeared towards their room with Shivaay following her.
"Shivay" Omkara called. But Shivaay almost ran after Annika unaffected. The family were totally perplexed. After all what was wrong with them?
"I hope everything is OK. Bhagwan should protect my kids" Dadi send a silent prayer with tear filled eyes while Janhvi hugged her sideways nodding her head.
"Some evil eyes has fell on my children. Wait till I find out" pinky said with a determined voice, getting up from the couch and walking towards Shivaay and Annika.
"Pinky Ji! Wait" Shakti stopped her. "They themselves will tell us give them some time"
"Chote Papa is right" Om agreed.
"No he isn't. Chote ma is right. I'll go and find out what's wrong" Rudra sulked
"Rudra stop behaving like a kid. Go and do something without poking your nose into each and everything" Om commanded
"But She's my bhabhi" Rudra retorted angrily.
"Everyone Silent. Go to your rooms. I said go to your rooms now. And you Rudra stop sulking like a kid" Tej ordered, his voice almost thundering. He had been silently watching all that was happening and had decided that it was enough.
"Om! Shakti come with me!" he commanded and walked away.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Annika walked into the room and threw her handbag somewhere.
"Annika please listen to me once" Shivay begged walking in, after shutting the door tight and locking it.
Annika paid no attention to him. She started removing her earings and hand accessories angrily.
"Annika please" Shivay held her by the arms, which she shook away and walked towards the closet. She had tears streaming down her eyes.
"Annika what's wrong with you?" Shivaay pulled her to himself by her arm and questioned in a slightly high pitch. That was it, Shivay had clicked on the wrong nerve, she started sobbing and pushed him away. She sat down or literally fell down with a thud on the couch that was right behind her.
"Yeah everything is wrong with me Shivaay and nothing is right. I know it" She cried bitterly, covering her face with her palms.
"Annika please" Shivaay fell on his knees, attempting to remove her palms from her face.
Shivaay had messed it up like always. He hadn't told Annika like he had informed the rest of the family, that he was taking her to the psychologist instead he had told her that they were going to meet Doctor Seema. He had added that Seema had told him to bring Annika to the hospital once she regains consciousness for a body check up. He hadn't done it to cheat Annika or something but only because in his previous encounters with Annika, he knew that Annika thought of a psychologist as a doctor who treated the mad. He hadn't wanted to hurt her, but then everything had gone wrong. When he had taken her to meet Doctor Soumya and when she had introduced herself as a psychologist and started inquiring Annika about when and how the first of the symptoms had occured. Annika had then only given a single reply very sternly and that was that she wanted to home and had walked out of the hospital. She hadn't spoken a word with Shivaay since then,only sat there in the car all emotionless and pale. Shivay had tried but it had all gone down the drain. Shivay had done it only because he wished the best for his wife and hadn't wanted to hurt her even a bit. But then here he was having hurt her badly and beyond remorse. He couldn't bear her ignore him so much and then now Annima self blaming herself made him feel like the worst husband in the world. What had he done to his wife?
"Annika forgive me" he begged weeping folding his hands still on his knees. Annika continued crying. She was so lost.
"You could've told me Shivaay. Did you think I was that mentally unstable to not be able to understand anything. About something that was going on in my own body? Didn't I deserve to know whom we were going to meet?"
"Why Shivaay? Why?" She cried
"Please don't tell that, I just wanted to...." he tried.
"No shivaay, nothing is right with me and it never will be. It has always been the same with my fate and will continue to be" She sobbed.
----------------------------------------------
"Ooppss I can't. I'm feeling week. Poor destiny is going away for a bit. I can't bear this anymore. Don't start jumping on me darlings"...
