And guys did you all see NM's surprise visit on SC's b'day party!!! Oh my God first when I saw the selfie picture I thought it was an edit , fellow shivika fans are really good editors. But then came the video ,I was like literally in tears man 😍😍😍😭 I was watching the clipping having the same face as of SC in that video. I never knew I would react to their reunion like this !! Oh my god even thinking of about it makes me emotional . After ages getting their glimpse was like couldn't even describe it. Didn't expect it at all and suddenly when I opened insta this happened I'm sure all of you would've jumped like me 💃💃💃 That's what they do to us . Have watched so many shows before and after IB but shivika /narbhi are something else . I don't know if I would ever feel this for any other ITV couple . Ofcourse actors are doing good and a few couples are really great too still , Shivika has set the bar so up and above that I can't even imagine anything apart from them when it comes to ITV. I think many shivika fans can relate , shipping is not very exciting if it's not for shivika . Ahh !! I can talk all day about shivika narbhi and IB. That's because as I always say, for me shivika are still living somewhere in this world for real , happily. My poor heart !! Wish someone casts them together once again in future🥰🥰🥰😭 .

As for our book HDMQ , many feel that I'm not focusing much on shivika moments. See guys I love to make emotional connects more in the story so I keep adding plots one after the other and see what impact it has got on shivika . This is wanted because the story should'nt stay held up anywhere. But since most of you have pointed out this I think I really lack something in there , will see how to improve that . Well thanks for saying it out . Happy reading !

Shivaay couldn't manage to bring out any words after listening to what his wife just said . Those tight jaws which revealed his straight bones mentioned something, something about the rage that grew within him in those seconds. He kept staring at her without making a blink , well glaring it was to be certain. She read his eyes clearly and neared to stand close to him but he immediately stepped back , shaking his head . Pinky who was lying on the cot didn't speak anything as she herself was very much angry on annika for making such a disgusting blame on her husband ,Shakthi .

A- shi

Annika muttered only that and tried holding his hand but he opposed. He then realized the reason behind pinky's sudden illness .

S- you're speaking about my dad annika, remember that .

It sounded more like a warning than just a statement . She frowned shaking her head , before she could speak up , pinky interrupted.

P- exactly , I don't know why you're doing this but stop !

A- aunty , why would I lie ? Shivaay , shivaay I can understand. None can take such a blame against their father . But try to understand my point please , trust me shivaay.

Annika pleaded holding his hand at last , and shivaay crushed his eyes as if he just swallowed something bitter . He couldn't imagine something like that about his father and on the other side he knew annika won't lie in such matters . He was disturbed , entirely. He released himself from her hold slowly and leaned to sit on the bed beside his mom who was watching him in worry . Even she didn't seem to be in a good condition, shivaay couldn't take it . Again he looked at annika anticipating her to take back her words but she stood seeming honest which made his inner self suffocate .

Taking a deep gulp in , he grabbed pinky's hand to have them within his warm palms . She seemed scared and tensed of the way he behaved while he looked here and there before having his eyes on her.

S- we're going back to OM mom .

At once pinky's state changed , she panicked.

P- don't tell me you believe her ! Shivaay how can you...your father ...he ,he isn't

S- mom mom ,please calm down . I'm sure there must be some misunderstanding . Annika must be wrong , maybe even she doesn't know it yet . We'll just go there , talk to dad and sort things out .

P - your father will feel so much hurt if he comes to know that we even thought like this.

S- Aap...you trust me right , mein sab teek kardunga mom . I promise .

He assured holding her hand and pinky couldn't say anything after that .

S- please calm down and take rest mom,I'll just be back haan . I'll meet the doctor and come get you .

Pinky just let a nod, he signalled annika to follow him back ,outside .

S- why didn't you tell me this ?

He shouted at once they were out of the ward for annika almost dropped her mobile in shiver .

A- shivaay I think aunty knowing about this is more important.

S- really ? And what ! See where it has brought her , annika why don't you just share things with me first ! You've got some real problems in doing it , don't you ?

A- shivaay this is not about us , and she

Annika stopped when he just carelessly sighed and turned the other side not even wanting to listen.

A- leave it , you're not in the condition to understand my words anyways .

S- ofcourse !Annika you very well know I can take anything but when it comes to people at home ...I have restrictions.

A- I know and still I stand with what I saw and said .

S- pure misunderstanding is what must've happened .I'll clear the air for you .

A- I can't be more relieved if you're actually right.

He spoke with much determination and she behaved true to her words ,which itself started tearing him apart somewhere.

OM

It was almost evening when Tej returned back from office .He noticed his brother seated there in the corner of the couch , having a worried face all over . Something didn't seem good about the way he looked . Tej decided to enquire.

T - Shakthi , what happened you didn't even come to office this day, are you ok ?

There was no response from him , Tej had to increase his tone then.

T- Shakthi

That's when Shakthi blinked out of his thoughts and looked up at his brother who stood before him.

Sh- what happened Bhaisaab?

T- you tell me that , something's going on and I can see that . Are you ok , shall I call this doctor?

Sh- no I'm good , there's nothing to worry.

T- oh please , I've been noticing you for the past few days . You're always worried and tensed. I thought it was about the latest deal which got delayed , but no . There is something. Come on now , spit it out whatever it is .

Tej spoke clearly, demanding an honest answer from him while Shakthi seemed to hesitate much .

G- shivaay baiya!

They were diverted when gauri exclaimed on seeing towards the doorway through which someone just walked in . Aryan kept jumping up from her arms to join shivaay , but gauri's reactions changed when she witnessed the person in close . She held her child to herself and started stepping back . Tej looked equally thrilled , he wanted to believe the person infront was shivaay but still something was wrong . Eyes , hair , clothes , everything screamed difference. Shakthi's eyes grew the biggest on seeing the person. He didn't want his nightmare coming out real .

T - shivaay are you alright?

The person just chuckled sarcastically and made a loud announcement soon .

' Mahi is my name , not shivaay . Mahi Singh Oberoi it is . First heir of the Oberoi empire '

The other family members started coming out and gathered at the center of the hall when his loud noise echoed around the place . Everyone literally had goosebumps when they witnessed it for real , they were hell shocked . Mahi once again smiled with a smirk after noticing their reactions one by one .

Mahi- I know , must be so confusing. No problem I'll explain, but before that I'd like you all to meet my mother . Mom !

Having no idea of anything going on inside , the trio who just got back from Goa marched inside the house . The three seemed confused on noticing everyone's shook reactions and the new man standing at the center, who is this ? They couldn't see his face as he was turning the other side. Shakthi crushed his eyes tight for a moment trying to capture some strength to hold on , it's happening today .

S- what's happening here , badepapa ?

Just then Mahi turned on hearing shivaay's voice . Shivaay felt chills that second when he saw what he saw . His exact self but not him , this was unbelievable for him. Pinky couldn't even think of what was happening only , she looked back at annika who looked worried , this was turning out bad and she didn't want things to move this way . She did tell everything about the lady and the man, but his looks , she couldn't find time to clarify in between all the fiasco which occured . And especially shivaay , didn't talk with her only after that .

Mahi was even more intimidated on seeing shivaay , he smirked winking at him .

Complete silence is what they heard for the next few seconds until Mahi spoke again .

M- oh come on, she's not my mum . One sec

He picked his mobile and dialled for someone while pinky quietly marched up straight and stood against shakthi.

M- hello , mom where are you! I've been...ok yeah come soon . Two minutes guys .

He showed his fingers mentioning this and the others just stood bewildered.

T- Oberoi ,is that what you tell yourself ?

M- it's the truth , why dad ? Haven't told them yet ?

As he muttered the last few sentences watching shakthi ,people there felt instant shocks hitting upon against them. Shivaay gulped deep , his left hand started shivering for he grabbed the next thing which was close by upto his reach and held it tight , her hand . Pinky stood quiet all this while and noticed how his reactions changed on listening to the new boy's words. She had tears in her eyes already , she gritted her teeth together and pretended tough though .

M- hmm hmm , mummy's here !

A lean lady seemingly in her mid 40's came by to stand near Mahi . Tej's eyes expanded up awide in shock as he noticed her . She greeted everyone with a smile, especially Shakthi which didn't go unnoticed by the others there . Pinky shrinked her eyes to something small and shook her head slowly, still in dismayel of what's going on .

Shivaay couldn't take this anymore , annika tried holding him back but be just jolated away and jumped ahead to kick the glass table infront which shattered into pieces within seconds . Om signalled gauri to take aryan back to room immediately when he started crying after hearing the noise .

Standing just infront of his father , he stabbed him with his enraged red eyes which shakthi couldn't tolerate the sight of .

S- I trust you dad , just tell me what's happening. I know you know something, just say it. Who are they ?

Shivaay was loosing his mind every passing second , and the sight of his mom's tears just made it worse . He sensed an enraged animal growing within him ready to jump out anytime . Shakthi's silence clearly opened up the gates for it .

S- tell me dad!

He roared once again for the others jolted back a bit in fear , such horror was carried in his voice . Within soon , the lady spoke .

' Don't trouble him , ask me . Mein bi iss ghar ki hoon . My name is Roop Singh Oberoi and this is my son Mahi '

Pinky lost balance of herself when her legs deceived her all together , she stumbled and fell but shivaay acted quick and supported her .

Sh- pinky

She grabbed his collars when he bent to check on her .

P - why did you do this to me haan ! I trusted you like a food !!

She started hitting herself , shivaay controlled his tears and rushed to stop her from doing that .

T - don't imagine things in haste pinky .

Tej's sudden alarming voice grabbed everyon attention, he sounded like he knew something. Jhanvi grew curious .

J- you knew about his affair?

M- nonsense ! Koi Affair waffair nahi hai ham .Dare anyone degrades us , we are his family too . We lived in another place all these years for some reasons , now we came back to live here , with dad .

Mahi didn't seem to like the way they treated them, he showed anger . Roop tried to get hold of him but he denied .

Here annika concentrated on nothing but shivaay , she didn't want to give ears to anything. He was falling and she could do anything about it, his unpoured tears were clearly seen by her . She very well knew what impact pinky's emotions has on him and currently, the scale was worse . He's breaking inside , she couldn't take just it . Bringing them here was a mistake , speaking the truth was not right , she regretted. Whatever happened would've happened anyways , atleast not like this infront of their eyes . She stood helpless .

Om - papa, if you know something say it please . We can't see shivaay like this .

Om insisted seriously while Tej took a few seconds to take a look at shivaay who didn't seem to care of anything rather his mother right at this moment .

T- Roop is

Sh- bhai

He interrupted him and looked at Mahi in worry . But Tej didn't agree , he was determined to spill out what he knew .

T - shut up Shakthi , I don't know what's going on but I do know who Roop is . Our children deserve to know the truth , Roop is our step sister .

One after the other , the array of shocking news coming up one by one didn't fail to shake them apart. Pinky who sat faceplaming herself slowly brought her hands down and looked at Tej when he revealed this .

J- kya bolrahi ho tum Tej ?

T- my father married Roop's mom when we were little , my our mom didn't approve this . They used to fight day and night . She forced him to throw them out of his life and told she'd kill herself if he doesn't. Having no other go , he abandoned them , but as far as I know he didn't completely leave them hopeless ,he supported them financially enough. After that I remember seeing Roop with her mother at Papa's funeral. That's all . They've been alloted funds for their living , so I thought they'd be doing ok somewhere in this world. But now ...I don't...

He shook his head cluelessly while the whole Oberoi clan remained quiet . Mahi alone dragged himself till Shakthi with a face filled with pain and questions . Shakthi had tears in his eyes when he noticed Mahi's demanding reaction , he knew what he was about to ask .

M- aren't you ...I I thought you are my father. How ...I look like him ...he's your son right ... then why not me! This can't be , mom !

He screamed looking at Roop who remained quiet , staring at nothing but the floor.

M- answer me mom ! Why is my dad your brother?

Everyone cringed when he shouted the last sentence. Shakthi looked at Pinky worriedly.

Roop- Mahi , stop .

M- I won't, what relation do you have with him !

Sh- enough Mahi ! She is my sister .

M- if that's what it is , then you can't be my father then why do I look like your son shivaay here !

He roared pointing his finger at shivaay .

Sh- because he's your twin brother and she , Pinky Singh Oberoi is your mother !

Mahi stumbled taking a step back when Shakthi screamed announcing his words. Pinky felt a strong pang on her heart right then ,she looked at him slowly and stood catching hold of Shivaay's hand . Everyone in the house stood frozen . Shakthi didn't just dare to meet pinky's eyes , he was afraid but somehow held on and continued.

Sh - though papa agreed to keep them away for maa's sake , he couldn't completely ignore them . And Roop , he loved her like anything but fear stopped him from claiming them as his own. Fear of the society, fear of his own parents and family. So all he could do for them was to provide money . Like bhai said even I thought I'd never see them after papa's funeral but , a few years after that , I saw them by chance at the hospital . Pinky was expecting anytime then . Coincidence it was , I met Roop's mother there .I came to know that Roop's husband had died in an accident and that she even tried committing suicide after loosing her child during the delivery . She was at the psychiatric ward , loosing her own self . It was an unbearable sight . And I knew very well , papa would've felt really guilty if he had seen that . Somewhere he'd have thought he was responsible for all that . Life was sucking out of her , she needed something to hold onto . That's when Mahi and Shivaay came to this world. Until then none of us knew that we'd get twins , not even the doctors. What I did was completely injustice to a mother but at that time , all I could think of was to save Roop's life . To give her a hope , she needed that badly . Hope ,that's what mahi is . I begged the doctors to help, stonehearted myself and brought my...my new born child who still had the wetness of blood soaked in him to Roop's Mother .

A sharp loud noise was heard immediately , Shakthi's cheek and jaw went red having finger patches on them at once when pinky had just given him one tight slap .

A great relationship is when you instantly miss each other right after being together 💘
