Shivaay took Anika to their chamber. He made her sit on the bed as she was crying badly. Shivaay was fuming in anger because he had made a promise to himself that he'll never let Anika cry but here she is crying hysterically as he failed to protect her.

Shivaay sat beside her and side hugged her and Anika rested her head on his shoulder.

S- Yuvrani Sa, kya hua tha? Aapki maa sa Aapse aisa katu vyavahar kyu kar rahi thi? ( Anika, What happened? Why was your mother behaving so harshly with you?)

Anika looked at him with teary eyes.

A- Woh humari maa sa nahi hain. ( She's not my mother.)

Shivaay looked at Anika in shock.

S- Kya? (What?)

Anika nodded her head.

A- Subhadra maa, Humari sauteli maa hai. Meri maa, Saudamini ko vish deke maar diya gaya tha jab hum 3 varsha ke they. Subhadra maa, humari maa ki daasi thi. Woh humari maa ki ganishtha mitra thi kintu ek din, kisi dushman ne humari maa ke bhojan mein vish daal diya aur woh... Hum inn sab se adhik chintit they aur adhik dukhi they tab subhadra maa ne hume sambhala. Pitashri ko laga ki Subhadra maa hi hume sambhal sakti hain isiliye unhone Subhadra maa se vivaah kar liye kintu vivaah ke baad Subhadra maa ka vyavhar humare prati badal gaya. Woh hum par krodhit hone lagi, woh humse mahal ke kaam karwane lagi,Pitashri se chhup kar aur hume maarne lagi, tab humne apni talwar mein shanti mili. (Subhadra maa is my step mother. My mother, Saudamini was poisoned when I was 3 years old. Subhadra Maa was my mother's handmaiden. They were like best friends but one day, some enemy poisoned my mother's food and she.... Everything affected me badly and i used to be very heartbroken when Subhadra maa supported me. Father thought that only subhadra maa can nurture me like a mother so he married her but after their wedding, She started treating me badly. She started getting angry on me, making me do the household work without my father's notice and she started beating me. At that time, I found my solace in my sword.)

Anika was sobbing now and Shivaay hugged her tightly and she cried on his chest.

S- Aapne Apne pitashri ko kyu nahi suchit kiya iss vishay mein? ( Why didn't you inform your father about this?)

Anika looked at him with teary eyes.

A- Hum unhe kasht nahi dena chahte the aur unhe iss baat ka anubhav nahi karara chahte the ki unhone galat nirnay liya. ( I didn't want to hurt him and make him realise that the decision he took was wrong.)

Shivaay held her in his arms while she sobbed. Shivaay caressed her head softly to calm her down.

S- Shant ho jaiye, Yuvrani sa. Ab hum aapke sang hain aur hum aap par koi aanch nahi aane denge. Hum aapko vachan dete hain. (Please Calm down, Yuvrani sa. I'm with you and I won't let anything to you. I promise you.)

Anika looked at him with teary eyes and smiled.
