Falling In love Again!!!

Chapter 24: Life lifter.

He never thought the ignorance he showed, The faking of her importance in his life will push her to this trauma. He wanted to go ahead and disappear from their lives and let them live happily. But now, He already has a spark over it. He couldn't even think of living without them. Why life always push him in this situation?

"Shivaay, I am sorry! I shouldn't have. I don't know what happened to me. Sorry."  - She cried in his shoulder, It was not Anika who spoke out today, It was her anxiety which dumped in her heart for a long time busted out. He had no idea how to console her. 

"Shivaay," - She cupped his face. He raised his eyelids and looked at her even though he had no courage to face her. 

"It's not you, And blaming you for the whole condition is complete foolishness, I got that. You didn't know anything about it. Please don't speak like this again. I can't live without you. Without you that one month was so terrible. The only difference is you speak it out and I didn't. We both incomplete without each other. Please don't talk this again, Please." - She cried, Her tears and her words started to melt the guilt in his heart but He didn't want to feel free. He deserves that pain.

"Please speak something."- She again cried uniting their forehead together. He didn't speak anything. It's not on purpose, He couldn't able to speak any word. His mouth got sealed up. But he couldn't see her in that trembling state. He stood up and took her in his arms. She didn't resist it but wrapped her arms around his neck and held his other side of his shoulder tightly. He walked towards the spare room.

He had nothing else in his mind other than stopping the flow of tears from her eyes. Even though how much he's broken, He isn't supposed to see her broken again because of him. He placed her in the bed, The moment he moved away, She held his palm. There was no energy left in him either to look at her or move away. But she sat up in the bed holding his palm. 

"Remember, You're the one to say this. Let's start afresh, Leaving all the past to stay in past. Shall we?" - She asked him weeping. He turned around with zero energy in him. She slightly pulled him to the bed and he thuds opposite to her in the bed. He didn't speak anything but held her other palms which asked him to hold it. He didn't raise his head and stared at their intertwined palms. 

"This girl has no-one named as family other than which you have given to me." - She whispered moving close to him. He felt the intensity of the tone which was too strong and it's the truth, She has no-one other than him. He didn't reply but moved close to her. In no moment, Their lips were one-above the other. Caressing, Loving and their tongue entangled with each other with fierce. She fell back in the bed cupping his mouth. 

Lovemaking wasn't an exact word to define their action. They were soothing their wound with their action. He was hurt as she was, In fact, He was broken beyond repair. He took off his t-shirt from his head and kissed her again. In no moment they were relieved out of their piece of clothes. His lips traced her whole body from her head to toe. His palms were never in hurry, It held, Caressed, and loved her as nothing does. She wasn't allowed by him to love him back. He was in the control, It was his night. 

She nodded yes When he hovered her and stared at her with his questionable eyes, She closed her eyes tightly and turned her face around when she wasn't ready to show his discomfort to him. But he stopped at that spot. It was almost been a year, Anika stopped talking to him like before after seeing his reaction on getting pregnant for the second time, From then to now, There was no sort of physical interaction between them but that didn't affect the feeling they have for each other. 

"I can stop." - He spoke when she turned around and looked at him shockingly. Soon her shocking reaction turned into a smile hearing his words. She cupped his face with a smile, Nodded no, and kissed him again in his lips. He proceeded without breaking the kiss. She dug her nails in his bare shoulders which she clung in. Their heartbeat beat in rhythm and spoke in the language where only both could understand. 

Their yearning for each other, Their dependency on each other, Everything was spoken. In the end, There were only tears left with each other. Understanding each other. He held her close to him to his chest, Her head lay in his chest. She raised her head to see him. He lowered his head. She didn't speak anything but conveyed her unspoken feelings for him. He kissed her forehead and hugged her even tighter. Her eyes automatically shut down. It's because of his presence and comfort, She has no idea. But after a long time, She slept peacefully in his embrace.

She opened her eyes in a jerk when she found alone in the bed, He was nowhere around even his clothes weren't found. She quickly shifted to her clothes and got down from the bed to check on him but he found in the children bedroom sitting in the bed staring at sleeping naina who was hugging her teddy to her close. Her eyes got welled up when she saw him in the most depressed state looking at his child. She walked towards him, He noticed her but didn't turn around her. She slightly pulled him towards her and he rested his head in her chest. 

"Even though it wasn't intentional the damage happened. Don't know how will I seek forgiveness for the fault I did in the past." - He whispered to her while caressing Naina's baby feet. She was sleeping while parting her lips. Anika rubbed his shoulders to console him when she left with no words. 

He bent towards naina and kissed her forehead, When the spark of Anika hit him. She used to identify him approaching with his footsteps and rushes to Anika in fear. He couldn't control his tears when he realized he imposed her with fear rather than love. 

"I am sorry, Baby!  I am a very bad daddy." - He said cupping her face. Naina opened her eyes slowly, She was half-awake but staring at him without any reaction. Anika looked at her shockingly as shivaay does. 

"Pappa." - She called him while widening her arms. Tears accompanied along with the chuckle from both of them. In no moment, Shivaay was laying next to Naina hugging her from one side. Anika moved to the other side and hugged her to the sidewards. 

"Now you got an opportunity. Stay with her, Love her which you missed out. Who's stopping you now?" - Anika asked shivaay. He buried her in him and hugged anika with another hand. 

"But." - He whispered. Anika placed her index in his lips. 

"Focus on the future, Stop thinking about the past."- She whispered and moved closed to him. 

"Mumma." - Naina whispered while sniffing in his scent and raised her head in confusion when she saw his dad. He was slightly shaken but managed with a smile and hugged her tightly then. Anika and shivaay exchanged the smiley glances. 

"It's Figi's influence on her."- Shivaay said to anika smilingly. 

"Your grandson." - Anika chuckled back. He looked at her for a while and smiled finally. Whatever happens, If you're present with life-lifters by your side who will lift you up from anywhere You can overcome anything in life.
