Shivaay was making breakfast in kitchen when Anika and Shivika came there.

Shivika ran towards Shivaay and hugged Shivaay's leg and Shivaay smiled widely. He immediately picked her up in his arms.

S- Wow! My princess is looking so beautiful and Princess's mumma is looking even more beautiful.

Anika blushed and smiled widely.

Sh- What ale you plepaling, dadda?

S- I've prepared my princess's favourite pancakes with chocolate sauce and mumma's favourite sunny side up eggs.

Shivika frowned in confusion and looked at Shivaay.

Sh- What ish youl favolite, dadda?

Shivaay looked at Shivika and pecked her cheek.

S- I like what your mumma likes.

Shivika made an 'o' mouth.

Shivaay and Anika got aww on their baby.

A- Go and settle down in the dining area and I'll serve breakfast.

Shivaay nodded his head and took Shivika to the dining table. Anika followed them with breakfast trolley.

They settled down at the dining table and started having breakfast.

S- So Anika. When do you want our wedding and what will be wedding theme?

A- Umm.. Shivaay.

Anika hesitated a little. Shivaay noticed this. He held her hand on the table.

S- Tell me Anika.

A- Actually, I always wanted a Catholic wedding. I just want it to be very simple. Just family and friends. But it's okay if you're not okay with it.

S- There's nothing like 'but' between us. So it's final, we'll have a Catholic wedding.

Anika smiled widely. Shivika was busy in licking the chocolate sauce which was covering her whole palm. Shivaay and Anika chuckled while looking at her. At the same time, they felt happy. Finally they finished their breakfast.

Suddenly the door bell rang. Shivaay and Anika looked at each other in confusion as they weren't expecting any visitor.

S- I'll go and open the door.

Anika nodded her head.

Shivaay opened the door and was shocked to see Pinky standing there in a disheveled state.

S- Mom.

Anika also saw Pinky and she got shocked. She then looked at Shivika.

A- Shivi baby, will you go and play in your room.

Shivika looked at Anika with a wide toothy smile and nodded her head.

Sh- Okay mumma.

Shivika ran upstairs to her room. Anika went towards Shivaay.

Anika held Shivaay's hand. Pinky noticed this.

Anika noticed her disheveled hair, swollen eyes and dark circles around her eyes and her pale skin. She was looking very weak.

P- Shivaay beta.

She smiled weakly and was about to fall but Anika held her on time. Pinky smiled at her Greatfully.

A- Shivaay, let's take her inside.

Shivaay nodded his head and they took her inside and made her sit on the sofa.

Anika went inside to grab a glass of water for Pinky.

She gave the glass to Pinky and she took it with shivering hands and took a sip.

Anika sat beside Shivaay.

P- How are you Shivaay?

S- I'm more happier than I was before, with my family.

Shivaay said stressing on the word family. Pinky smiled sadly.

S- Why are you here, mom? Can't you just see me happy?

Anika held his hand to stop him.

P- Don't stop him,Anika. This is what I deserve. I just came here to apologize to you both for my past deeds. I can't die with a burden on my chest that I destroyed my own son's happiness and didn't even tried to apologize.

A- Aunty, what are you talking about?

S- Anika, why are you coming in her talks? Don't you know how she is?

A- Shivaay.

Anika glared at him.

P- I'm dying. I've cancer. Last stage. I never thought that I'll die like this but this is what I deserve. I was feeling weak from last few months. After you left, it became worst. I started vomiting and blood started coming in my mouth so I went for a check up. There, I got to know that I've cancer which has reached last stage. I only have 2 months to live.

Pinky started crying. Anika went and sat beside her. Shivaay was unaffected.

S- What are you planning now, Mrs. Oberoi? This will be also like heart attack which you faked years ago.

A- Stop it, Shivaay.

Anika said angrily. Shivaay looked at her shockingly.

S- Are you serious, Anika? You're taking her side after what she has done to you and our baby.

A- Everyone deserves forgiveness, Shivaay. I forgived you right, then why can't you forgive her?

Shivaay looked at Anika with blank face.

P- If you don't believe me, I've my reports.

Pinky said while giving her reports to Anika.

Anika looked at her reports and then she forwarded to Shivaay. Those reports slipped from Shivaay's hands and tears stung his eyes.

P- I'm so sorry Anika. Please forgive me. I did very bad with you in the past. I even cursed my own granddaughter.

Pinky started crying and Anika held her.

A- It's okay, Aunty. From now on, you'll live with us.

Pinky and Shivaay looked at her shockingly.

S- Anika.

A- Please Shivaay.

S- Okay. Do whatever you want. Just don't expect me to accept her as my mom. I'm out of this.

Shivaay left from there.

Pinky joined her hands in front of Anika.

P- Thank you so much, Anika.
