Recap: Anika returning back from the hospital. She has suffered memory loss where she has forgotten last one year.

..

There was a sort of uncomfortable silence around. Harsh sat infront of Anika with Arnav and Sarika sitting on opposite couch.

"Dad, you said you wanted to talk about something. Is everything okay?" Anika asked looking around.

Harsh sighed before directing Arnav to continue . "You know what is today's date?"

"Obvio bhai, it's 19th if October 2021!"

" Princess we aren't in 2021 but 2022." Arnav sat down beside her taking hold of her hands.

"What do you mean Bhai?"

"I mean to say is, due to an accident, you have temporarily forgotten past year of your life and you still believe that it is 20th May 2021!"

Anika jerked her hands away in shock. She just looked at Arnav with big eyes.

"How...when...what happened?..I.." She started mumbling and caught hold of her head feeling dizzy.

"Shhh.... don't stress Princess, don't worry. Doctor said it's just temporary, you will get back your memory soon" Arnav embraced her trying to distract.

"Bhai, I want to know what happened in this one year. Everything..I want to know everything Dad..Mom please." She pleaded with teary eyes.

"Of course beta, we will but not everything at the same time. Right now you need rest. We shall continue at night, okay my baby." Harsh kissed her forehead, and rubbed her back trying to calm her .

"Chal Anu, let's go to your room." Sarika and Anika went upstairs.

"Dad, do you think we should call Shivaay for dinner and introduce him to her?"

"Hmm....call him. You know your sister, she won't stop until she knows everything."

"Yes dad,...ring ring* Arnav got interrupted by his phone ring.

"Will be there in few. Make sure everything is ready! He cut the call. Dad, I have somewhere to be, will be back in few hours "
..

Somewhere in the abandoned factory

"Hey...who are you guys? Why have you kidnapped me? Don't you know who am I...if my father comes to know he will destroy you guys ..leave me right now!" A man struggled trying to break free himself from the rope he was tied with.

Punch* "Shut up...nahi toh jaban bahar nikal denge!" A guard retarded making him hiss in pain.

Suddenly, the lights of the room switched onn. Sounds of the boot hitting the floor echoed around.

"Welcome to the hell Mr.Daksh Khurrana!" One of the man who stopped infront of him spoke .

"Mr.Rathore (Arnav)!" Daksh exclaimed as his eyes adjusted to the lights.

"Why am I here? What have I done?"

"As if you don't know Daksh" Arnav gritted his teeth and threw a punch on his face.

Cough* Cough* what the..punch* punch*, Arnav continued pouring out his anger not caring that he busted his knuckles.

Daksh coughed blood, "Ahhh" he groaned as a bone cracking voice echoed around. Arnav had broken his nose that was now bleeding.

"This is just the trailer you bastard. How dare you touch my sister! How dare you tried to rape her!! Because of you she has suffered and is suffering so much. You are gonna beg for the death but it won't come to you;" Arnav hissed at him.

"Sir, here are all the things you ordered!" Two of the security guard walked in carrying some boxes.

"Set them on the table!"

Daksh painfully opened his one eye trying to look around. His eyes fell on the items that were now displayed on table. There was hammer, knife, blades, nail chipper and what not.

"This...This.." Daksh pointed towards table.

"Abb mehman ki khatidaari toh karni padegi naa!" Arnav smirked folding his knuckles.

"What do you mean? "

"Just wait and watch Mr.Daksh Khurrana!" A voice came from the other side of the room. There stood the all mighty Shivaay Singh Oberoi. His eyes were hidden behind his glares and hands inside his pant pockets.

"You..you both ..my dad will not leave you. He will drag you to the jail and will make sure you both receive life time imprisonment."

"Tch..Tch..too late! " Shivaay came forward and grabbed the chair from nearby and sat infront of Daksh, folding his legs and crossing his arms around the chest.

"Khanna get me some popcorn. I would like to entertain myself before I start my work"

....

"Jethani ji , Anika je bina yeh ghar kitna suna ho gaya hai. Aisa lagta hai uske saath Ghar ki saari khushiyan chali gayi hai!" Pinky sighed looking around now silent mansion.

"Very true Pinky. God knows who is behind our daughter. I so hope that bastard gets caught as soon as possible. I cannot see her suffer more." Jhanvi uttered.

"Maa, Choti maa please have something. You guys haven't eaten anything since morning!" Omkara walked in carrying plate of Aloo Puri.

"Nahi Om, Mann nahi hai (No, I'm not hungry) Pinky exclaimed to which Jhanvi agreed.

Keeping the plate on the nearby table, Omkara sat on his knees grabbing one of each's hand. "I know you both are tensed about Anika bhabhi and we all are but that doesn't mean you won't take care of yourself. I know situation is very serious but Maa, Choti Maa with you nit eating is anything gonna change? If yes, then I'm ready to keep fast everyday. But we know it's not. And if Anika bhabhi would be here she would have not let you guys compromise your health. Right? Both nodded. So now like good mom's, please have this food. And trust me, Shivaay is gonna make everything fine."

"Om did you or Rudra have anything?" Pinky asked.

"We will choti maa, we are waiting for Shivaay."

...

In Rathore Mansion..

Anika woke up breathing heavily. She looked around to find herself in her room. It was dark around with just light reflecting from the side lamp.

Wiping the sweat on her forehead, she walked out in balcony to get some fresh air. All she remembers is seeing some figures all blurry, nothing clear and it was as if she was scared.

Taking a deep breath, she looked at the moon and stars above whom she loved to stare at all night. They gave her peace.

'Why do I feel I'm missing something, it feels as part of me is taken away, if I have lost my memory does that mean whatever happened in hospital earlier with those two guys..umm.. what's there name..., yes, Om and Ru..Rudra talking about me being their Bhabhi.
Am I really married? What else happened in a damn whole year..how did I...Anika agreed to marry and when?..God, there are so many questions to which I need answers and I'm definitely gonna get them answered by Bhai and Mom-Dad.

Screen stopped..

                                ***

"Anika come here, have this" Arnav ran behind her with medicine in his hands.

"No, I'm not having that butter med..." Anika ran fast only to crash into a hard chest. Before she could fall down two pair of arms caught her safely.

Anika closed her eyes in fear of getting hurt but felt no pain, she slowly opened her eyes only to connect with those familiar blue-green orbs.

"Shivaay" she whispered.
