Anika still in her seat, She was not ready to face it, When Chaitra advised her to take therapy sessions to get back to herself, She had left with no options. Chaitra is the person who stayed as her support when she had none with her, Not even Omru during the early phases of her pregnancy when she didn't tell anyone about her pregnancy. She didn't go against Chaitra for anything till now. 

"Ms. Anika. You're next." - The receptionist called her, With half-minded, She proceeded her way towards her cabin, Her name is Alaia, Alaia Steeve. Half black and half white, Looked like an Indian with extreme curls. Thick makeup and Bright Lipstick shade. That's what Anika could notice when she saw her for the first time. 

"Please Take your seat, Ms. Anika." - She asked, Her tone was attracting and loud. Stretching her lips to a smile, She took the seat. She wasn't ready to open up her complicated life to a stranger like her. But if she comes here, She had to be faithful to Chaitra. The conversation started with the basic questions like what she's doing for a living? Anika replied with a proud that she's working as a senior Interior designer and planned to open a very own firm in the next two years. The excitement she had while discussing her professional life wasn't the same when the therapist asked about her Personal life. Anika stammered when she started saying about her life going back to India, Her mom's death, and Her marriage with the stranger. 

Allia understood She's hiding something from her when her eyes constantly blinked when she told about her rough phase of her life, She skipped about Nivansh Trivedi. Alia was sure, Something else happened in her life which she was hiding and she also thought it's too much to speak it out in the first sittings. 

"You know I never saw Anyone stronger like you, Even after this much trouble, Miseries, You keep your surroundings happy and smiling. And You're blessed with this persona, And it's also not healthy to suppress everything in your mind. See you next week!"  - Alïa said with a smile. Anika felt very bad when she was not ready to open up anything about Nivansh. She reached her Office, She wanted to focus on her job but she had no idea when she clicked shivaay's mail, Opened his profile picture, and gazing it for the continuous one hour. 

Her fingers yearned to type a reply mail to him. Over then, She got a call from her Gauri, Anika checked the time, It's 2 pm in L.A. And it must be around 1 am in India. She attended the phone prayed to the god that Arush should be fine. 

"Hello, Gauri. Is arush fine?" - Anika asked her as soon as attending the call.

"Arush is fine, Bhabi, I just wanted to talk to you." - Gauri said in a low tone. Her tone was too frail, Anika understood something wrong in her tone.  

"Gauri, Switch to Video call, Right now." - She said and turned on the camera. She forgot to switch off her laptop which has his profile picture on. 

"Hey, Why are you crying?" - She asked Gauri as soon as she switched the voice call to video call. 

"Nothing, Bhabhi. It's just." - She said looking at her. But she couldn't say anything. Anika looked concerned. 

"First, Relax. Take a deep breath Gauri." - Anika guided her, She closed her eyes and paced herself but she looked so weak and her eyes were swollen. 

"Gauri, What happened?" - Anika asked her. 

"It's just we went to the hospital today." - Gauri said while rubbing her eyes, Anika didn't say anything, Because she knew why she is worried, Due to some complications from her birth, She couldn't able to conceive, And they have been taking treatments for the past year. 

"I told you many times, Gauri. Life is not that much Unfair. I have hopes, You should also have hopes, Don't listen to anything, You have om by your side, Right. He will take care of everything. And I left my warrior there with you. Arush won't spare anyone, if anyone points their finger on you, So relax baby." - Anika said with a smiley face, She's already very low, Anika didn't want to cry with her but want to cheer up her mood.
