"No! Please don't beat me"

"Please dont!"

"Please don't..."

"Chutki please...Chutki.."

"Bhaiya...Bhai.."

"Please...Please.. don't leave"

Anika was clutching the sky blue duvet tightly. Tears were coming out of her eyes. Her face has been reflecting emotions of pain and hurt.She was sweating very badly.

Shivaay who was relaxing himself beside the pool side, heard his wife sniffing and whispering. He instantly left the place to calm Anika. Rushing towards  Anika, he wakes her up and holds her closer to him by engulfing her in his arms.

"Sshhh! Don't cry...baby..Don't cry.."Shivaay whispered in her ear.

He was running his long fingers behind her back and brushing her soft curls to sooth her.She was crying continuously.It manages to calm her down.

He continued to held her like that for some time.He has been worried about Anika. She is getting nightmares since the memory loss drama. Anika is like him who neither shares her problem with anyone nor accepts any help.

Whenever he asks Anika about the nightmares she avoids the topic.

To sooth Anika, he carries her with him to the love seat which is placed beside the pool side.

He switches on the radio to calm Anika down.

Anika and Shivaay have different tastes of music. Shivaay prefers calm and soft music to sooth his nerves where as Anika loves all dhinchak songs to be energetic. But the songs of AdYa(Advay-Anya) are the only singers which they listen together.

Today Advay will be singing solo song and unfortunately Anya cannot accompany him. Shivaay loves Anya voice, it reminds him of a certain person who is very close to him who too sings well. Shivaay eyes always turns moist after hearing Anya's voice for some reason. Anika strangely always calms sown whenever she hears the voice of Advay. She relaxes often after hearing his songs.

Today Advay will be singing a song.

Before singing, he said that he's dedicating it to girls he had loved the most in the world.

Apne karam kee kar ataayein

Yaaraa, Yaaraa.. yaaraa..

Mujh ko iraade de

Kasmein de, vaade de

Meri duaaon ke ishaaron ko sahaare de

Dil ko thikaaney de

Naye bahaaney de

Khwaabon ki baarishon ko

Mausam ke paimaane de

Apne karam ki kar ataayein

Kar de idhar bhi tu nigaahein

Sun rahaa hai naa tu

Ro rahaa hoon main

Sun raha hai naa tu

Kyun ro raha hoon main

Manzilein ruswa hain

Khoyaa hai raasta

Aaye le jaaye

Itni si iltijaa

Ye meri zamaanat hai

Tu meri amaanat hai..

Haan..

Apne karam ki kar ataayein

Kar de idhar bhi tu nigaahein

Sun raha hai naa tu..

Waqt bhi thehra hai

Kaise kyoon ye huaa

Kaash tuu aise aaye

Jaise koi duaa

Tu rooh kee raahat hai

Tu meri ibaadat hai..

Apne karam ki kar atayein

Kar de idhar bhi tu nigahein

Sun raha hai naa tu..

Yaaraaa..

Anika relaxed after hearing the song and had fallen asleep.

Gauri was pacing like a pendulum near the French Window of the family room.Tears were cascading down her cheeks.Om had accused her again of being characterless and cheater. She don't know why Om accuses her like that. She was tired, broken and she has now no one in this world.

Few days ago, her adoptive mother left the world and before dying , she told her about the orphanage from where she is adopted which is in Maharashtra.

She had clutched the anklet in her fist near her chest.

It is the only possession,she had of her biological family before getting separated.

She was only 4 years old when she got adopted. She has no memory of her former family except for some gimplises of a elder boy and girl playing with her and "Chutki" a name which always echoes through his head.

Suddenly she hears a song coming from poolside. Unknowingly she made her way towards the voice which she heard few moments back.
