Hey people. Today I have got a lot to tell you and say to you. I've never thought of participating in any kind of competition because I never felt like doing so... I always just focused on writing what I like and then reading the reviews. Participating and getting the vote wasn't my cup of tea, I suck at that, Asking for votes.

You might know that in starting I've participated in one or maybe two competition and even made posts regarding votes but then I left because I felt weird and that's how I'm.

Well, this time I didn't know... My Book was being nominated for a couple of categories in #Ishqbaaazfanficcommunity. And I've been 1st of 2nd runner-up for those particular categories. I won and didn't lose. Without my knowledge, my book got nominated, voted and won.

I love you guys for this. I love you so much and I can't thank you enough for the much love, You've given! I am really overwhelmed by this fact and I'm not able to stop thinking about it. Like, I never thought this book will be loved so much by so many people. I really appreciate your efforts and love and it made me feel guilty as I have been so irregular with the updates for months and months. I have been trying my best to update regularly and whenever I adjust the things something comes up and everything gets ruined. So, I would like to thank you for being so patience with me and for being so loyal and lovely and much more, a reader for me. No thank you will ever be enough to thank you, guys. And no sorry will be enough to apologize for making you guys always wait.

Thank you so much each and every one of you. Thanks A lot. I LOVE YOU ALL.

*~Author's Narrative~*

Shivaay walked back into the ward. His blood was boiling as he knew she's not his Annie and yet she is laying on the bed relaxing as if she is the one who is pregnant. He didn't know what was hurting him most at this time. "Annie missing or Annie not trusting him enough to tell about anything."

Calming his boiling blood and nerves he breathed out and reached for her. "Anika... I'm sorry." He held her hand and she looked at him with an arrogant face.

"I don't need that. I need property." Anika replied making him clench his jaws tightly, but he controlled for the sake of his Annie.

"I know. I ordered the lawyer and he will be soon here for the signatures with papers." Shivaay caresses her hand and reached for the face to cup her cheeks.

"I love you so much." Anika immediately hugged him and he shut his eyes tightly to control the rising anger.

'FOR ANNIE.' Ringed in his mind.

And he opened his eyes with a smile.

"I'm sorry that this point came where you felt the need of this... I can make it up to you." Shivaay winked and saw the expressions of her face changing and she seemed excited.

"You mean..." Anika spoke and shivaay nodded reaching for the lace of her Hospital dress.

"Yes. I mean this... I mean... I can calm you and your anger." He huskily spoke wounding his own hand by his own nails trying to stop himself from ripping the bitch in front of him.

"I knew it. You can calm, me." Anika replied by reaching for the buttons of his shirt.

He knew Annie is horny due to hormonal changes but she cares about her children and will never agree for SEX at this stage and he also Knew Fake Anika is always horny and her only weakness is money and SEX. His first point was proved, that she is not the real one as she agreed to go for the sex.

He saddened with the fact that she is not real. That his Annie is really kidnapped.

"Let's Do." Anika huskily spoke unbuttoning his shirt and he immediately undid her dress making it reveal her back as the laces opened completely.

His eyes welled up as he confirmed the fact that she is fake.

"Shivaay Bhaiya." Rahul knocked and opened the door making Anika seeth and Shivaay smirk.

"I'm coming." Shivaay smiled to Rahul and looked at Anika. "We will Continue this later. I will also ask the doctor if we can or not." As Shivaay uttered these words, blood drained off her face and she went pale.

REALITY STRIKES HER!

"Okay" She laid back and with a grin shivaay left with Rahul while buttoning his shirt.

As he walked out of the ward tears started to roll down his cheeks with his body trembling. Rahul felt guilty of himself seeing his father like brother breaking down like this and somewhere he was the only reason behind this stuff.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come into your life and nothing would've happened." Rahul spoke and shivaay just looked down not having any reply for now...

"I'm not telling this to get sympathy and to hear you tell me that nothing is like that. No, I feel guilty and I want punishment for this... No matter how much you tell me that you've forgiven me, I won't believe or rather I won't accept you forgiving me easily. I've been a pain for you, always." Rahul completed and gulped down the lump which was paining him badly.

"Rahul... It's not the sympathy of mine for you. It's my love for you. I'm genuinely sorry for being so selfish about everything. And trust me I have forgiven you for that. In fact, I think I don't deserve to be forgiven. It's my problem since the very beginning of my life that once I go for one thing I literally forget the other one. Naina was killed because I forgot about Anika and stayed in contact with Naina. And here I did same... People changed and not the mistake. I wish I had asked you all those questions which Annie asked you so nothing would've happened. I wish I hadn't overreacted about you and hadn't scared you so much so you don't tell me anything. I regret almost everything I did in past one week. I feel horrible from inside and wish to die." Shivaay poured out his heart making Rahul watch him with teary eyes.

Rahul had so many stuff to tell him so many things he wanted to share with him and the moment they were sharing right now was making it hard for him to control his emotions. After giving a few minutes to himself Rahul decided to make it a long talk and let everything to be said today but before he could speak out anything they were standing in front of the RV. Their little talk made them busy and engrossed so much that they didn't realize when they reached the RV.

Shivaay sighed out and walked inside to meet his friends who were eagerly waiting for him to return so they can ask if he confirmed it.

"Shivaay... What happened?" Pari asked seeing him broken.

"She isn't Annie. She is Anika. Fake one! I feel so guilty. I had just one thing to do, PROTECT HER. I fucking failed." Shivaay shouted making everyone there flinch due to his high pitch.

"It's not your fault. She knew she will get kidnap and yet she didn't inform you. A little bit but she is at fault too." Raj tried to make Shivaay feel less guilty but he turned everything upside down making themselves the target.

"O yes, Right! Shutup. You people knew and yet you didn't tell me and that is how she is not at fault but you. You all." Shivaay spoke sarcastically.

"I don't want to blame Annie for our such conversations so just shut up. She unknowingly is becoming a problem between us." Rajveer spoke making them all stare him with numb bodies.

They all fell short at words as what he said shook them up. Nothing was going to be easy for them and they knew it since the very beginning when they decided to fight for the justice yet they still behave like dumbs blaming eachother.

"Rajveer... I think I'm sorry." Pari spoke and sat back and looked at others.

Soon they all apologized to each other and calming themselves decided to discuss what and how things are needed to be done.

"Rahul, what do you think is the place where they might have kept Annie?" Shivaay asked and Rahul looked at him with a blank face.

"They kept me in the basement and there was no light at least not so much and breathing was a huge problem there. So, I guess they will be choosing another spot as they don't want to hurt her anytime soon." Rahul explained and they noted that point down.

"How did you confirm that she is not Annie?" Raj asked and Shivaay looked down.

"Annie didn't have a very good childhood. She was tortured every day for nothing special. She had a burn mark on her back. So that's how I found out." Shivaay revealed and they nodded.

"So as we know they want to get the babies so they might be keeping her in some hospital," Pari said and shivaay narrowed his eyes.

"Why some other? Why not this? This will be convenient as fuck. Same hospital...wait! Why didn't I think of this before?" Shivaay shut his eyes tightly making everyone roll their eyes as he didn't bother to tell them soon enough!

"Shivaay let us know too so we can know what is to be done!" Raj spoke squeezing his hand.

"That... why didn't the doctor tell me that there are no babies? I mean when she checked the fake one she would've definitely realized that she is not pregnant." Shivaay stated and everyone chuckled.

"Silly us. Or maybe you. or maybe we all. I mean... You're fucking right. Umm... Mean doctor knows and is made to stay quiet and she might be the one checking onto real one too. So she is in here only. Annie in the hospital." Rajveer smiled broadly and shivaay smiled.

"Yes. We can find her." Shivaay stood up and headed out.

"Wait. We are here, nobody should know it." Pari told shivaay and he nodded.

They both, Rahul and shivaay left toward the cabin and to make sure their plan doesn't fail they talked with the doctor on chits pretending that they were discussing few medicines.

"Doctor, I know you know that the one in the ward is not real Anika. I also know that there might be someone who is spying on you and us so can you tell me where the real one is?" Shivaay wrote and forwarded the paper.

"Is it the right spelling of the medicine? I doubt actually." Shivaay smiled.

"Let me check and correct it." The doctor spoke and started to write.

"Yes Mr. Oberoi I'm threatened and my daughter is under their spy. I'm sorry but I have to hide it. The whole CCTV of my room and cabin is hacked and they're watching us. Your wife is here only. They've kept her in the basement or maybe in some abandoned ward. I'm not sure but she is here only. I'm making sure that she is fine and I did what I can for her. Gave her sedatives so she doesn't panic. Sorry and please save us." The doctor had tears when she forwarded the paper and shivaay nodding left.

"She is here. We have to search." Rahul spoke and shivaay looked at him and then down and dragged him out of the hospital.

"We are fucking fools" Shivaay entered the RV and starting it drove away from the hospital.

"Shivaay will you care to tell me why we left from there?" Pari asked for the last time as Shivaay wasn't replying any questions.

"Now I will answer you intelligent fools." Shivaay parked near the road.

"WHY DID YOU MOVE AWAY FROM THE HOSPITAL?" Raj asked giving him 'you're mad' looks.

"Well, I suggest you give these looks to yourself in the mirror. Because we acted like fools just there. If we think that they are keeping eye on the doctor, then why we thought that they might not be keeping an eye on me and Rahul? I worry they know that you're here." Shivaay feared and covered his face with his palms.

"Shivaay... nobody saw us. But you're right not now but they might have found out little later. We got away on time." Pari spoke and Shivaay nodded.

"Yes, but how will we do the operation finding Annie when we are being watched?" Shivaay spoke hopelessly.

"Shivaay you're forgetting who we really are. They should worry about themselves because they don't know with whom they're fucking messing. They're fucked up already." Raj spoke evilly and all looked at him with a smile except Shivaay.

"Confidence is good but not overconfidence. You know what you're doing? I can't believe you're talking like kids." Shivaay glared him.

"Shut up. You're the one talking like kids. We are a group of those skilled persons who used to do many things without anyone knowing. Slipping from the hawks is what we are skilled in. We can easily do this..." Pari reminded him and he closed his eyes.

"I'm fucking messed up." Shivaay sighed and they made faces.

"Only good thing Annie did is calling us here." They moved back to the seats to discuss what they need to do... and how!
