Love is a small word, but it can change lives. This feeling is filled with immense power. If It can bring happiness to a life, it can destroy the other too.
Never in his life he thought that he would fall in love, he did. But, it was even more far from his imagination that love would be so painful. It is his love for this girl, that is making him cry at her miseries.
In 4 years of his practice as a psychiatrist, Shivaay never heard about any patient who was once as strong as Anika. Her past history speaks out loud the strength this girl held within herself. But, she broke in the most miserable way. She was a mountain which was impossible to move. But mountains don't move, they shatter when a storm hits them. A storm called Love had hit her, and broke her beyond repair.
He had met Anika three months ago. It was the most dreadful meeting anyone could have.
Flashback
His car had broke down in the middle of the road, surrounded by a deep forest. He heard some sounds coming from behind a tree so he thought to check. He was never scared of anything, being an orphan gives you strength to fight with many things.
The sight infront of his eyes was beyond the word dreadful could define. A girl was sitting leaning to the tree. She had a knife in her hand and she was scratching her arm with that. He could see that there was some tattoo on her arm and as if, she was trying to erase that only. Her feet, forhead, hands and neck were bleeding and she had so many bruises on her face that her face was not able to be recognised.
She suddenly stopped scratching and looked up to see him. He could see the fear in her eyes. "Do..don't c..co..me ne...near me. N..no..." She started murmuring.
He tried to calm her down but any of his practiced tricks didn't work. At last, she fainted. He picked her up in his arms and took her towards his car. He placed her on the passenger seat and tended her wounds as much as he could.
After almost an hour he was able to fix the problem so that he could reach a place to get help. Once he found a mechanic, he took her to his house. She was not in a state to be taken to the hospital, they would want him to file a case first and she needed immediate care.
He called his friend cum little sister Gauri, who was a doctor too. She came and changed the girl's clothes and dressed all her wounds.
"She needs proper care and also the tests are to be done to know her condition properly. You bring her to my clinic. I will take care of everything else. The way she was scared and scratching herself, as you told me, I think something has affected her badly. We need to know her past. Her injuries are telling that someone did all this to her deliberately. So we can't even let any one know about her." Gauri cleared half of his dilemmas by telling all this to him.
"Then Omkara will be perfect for this. Gauri, call Om and ask him to come here as soon as possible." Shivaay asked Gauri to call Om, her husband as well as his best friend.
After lots of discussion and planning with Gauri and Shivaay, Om started his investigation. Being a successful private investigator, he had his own ways to get information.
First, he started to look for any FIR that must have been filed in police stations near the place Shivaay found the girl. The difficult thing was, they don't even know the girl's name or even seen her face which is bruised right now.
Next day Gauri did all the required tests. When the reports came, it stated that she had been tortured in the most cruel ways any one could do such as, giving cuts on her arms, neck, stomach and feet, she was beaten very badly and she also had burnt marks on her body. There was high amount of drugs in her blood.
For two days, that girl was unconscious because of the sedatives. The third day she opened her eyes, and found herself in complete different surroundings. She was scared of the four walls of the room.
Shivaay didn't leave her alone for a minute in these two days. Now also he went to kitchen to make something for her as Gauri had told him to make her eat something after she gains her consciousness back.
Her presence gave him an unknown calmness. He wanted to be close to this unknown girl, her pain was intolerable for him. When he found the bed empty once he entered her room, his face lost it's colour as if she was his gem.
He searched her everywhere. Then he heard some murmuring sounds coming from the washroom. He hesitated for a minute but he had to open the door and check her.
As he opened the door, the girl tired to hit him with a vase. Luckily he caught hold of her hand in time and the vase broke into pieces. She was already scared but seeing him, she was even more scared may be she thought he would harm her for attacking him.
She started wiggling in his hold and tried to free herself. She cried her eyes out as if Shivaay wasn't a human but some monster.
"Ok. Ok. I won't come near you. But please don't panic. Lis...." He tried to talk to her as politely as possible but she kept moving away from him. At last he hugged her tightly to his chest. It was very surprising, but she stopped wiggling and crying.
He looked at her if she fainted but she was awake. She looked at him with her brown orbs, that look did something to him. The feeling he felt in his heart wasn't pity for sure, her eyes held the power to lock his eyes in a spell. It would not be wrong to say that not only her, but he also felt calm when he embraced her. As if he was waiting for her only, all these years of his life when there was noone beside him.
He kept stroking her hair like a mother does with a baby and took her to the room. "Now sit here, you have to eat something so that you can have medicine and get well soon okay ?" Shivaay said in a very calm and sweet voice.
She kept looking at him like a lost child. She was feeling this kindness for the first time in her life as much as her mind told her. She was never treated this way, nobody ever cared for her.
"Open your mouth." Shivaay commanded her but in a sweet way just like a father does. She didn't know what was happening around her, where she was, who this person was ? But the only thing she knew at the time was that, she felt safe. She felt that he won't harm her the way HE used to do.
She did as he said. She had the food. She don't remember the last time she had the food. After that he gave her medicine. "Now it's time to sleep." Shivaay said covering her with the duvet. He was stopped by her when he tried to leave.
"D..Do.. Don't le..av..e me ple..ase H..HE w..will k..kill me..H..HE... w..ill..." She murmured holding his wrist with both of her hands. She wanted him to be with her that clearly meant that she has started feeling safe with him. He sat in front her on a stool and asked her sleep.
The scene infront of Omkara and Gauri was so cute that they couldn't help but click a picture of the two people sleeping like children. One was the girl about whom they know nothing, not even her name and the other was Shivaay. This side of this strict psychiatrist was new to them but not at all unpleasant. May be they also predicted that everything happens for good.
"You slept till so late, what's the matter ?" Gauri asked Shivaay who came downstairs only to find Om having breakfast sitting on his favourite seat, Shivaay's chair.
"Get up from my chair you Dumbo." Shivaay said to om annoyingly. "As if your name is written on this chair, get lost." Om replied in his usual 'I don't care' tone.
"Ok. Stop fighting you both. Shivaay you didn't tell me why you slept till this time. It's 11 in the morning. Someone's presence did magic." Gauri said in a teasing manner.
"I...I... nothing ac..tually.." Shivaay fumbled for the first time in his life. Today's morning was full of surprises for OmRi. Just than they heard a sound of breaking something. It came from her room. Shivaay ran towards the girl's room even before OmRi could comprehend.
Shivaay saw her wiggling in her sleep as if she saw any nightmare. In that process her hand had hit the vase placed on the nearby table. Shivaay went towards her and tried to calm her. She woke up from the sleep and she hugged him tightly. It was a shock for OmRi that she stopped crying.
Due to Shivaay's presence, the girl wasn't scared from Om or Gauri also. Gauri helped her to change and getting fresh. She made her eat the breakfast and medicine. Om and Shivaay were discussing how to find about her.
"God !! I'm frustrated now. First, we need to give her some name. It's difficult to address her without a name." Om said and Gauri also agreed with him. They suggested many names but Mr. Psychiatrist didn't like them.
"Shivaay you are throwing tantrums as if we are changing your girl friend's name." At last Om said and winked at Shivaay with an evil grin and got a pillow in reply that hit his face.
"Mishti ! Her name will be mishti." Shivaay said dreamily. "Ohhhhhhh!!!! Mishti ahannn.." Om and Gauri started again. "Go to hell you both" Shivaay left from their being embarassed.
From that day onwards, they started calling her Mishti and she was opening up with them. She behaved like kids at times but still she got less scared now a days. Shivaay was the happiest person, the reason was unknown to him. The only pain he had was that he was unable to find about HIS Mishti's past that made her like this. When did Mishti became HIS Mishti, he himself didn't have any idea.
The more She got well, she started making the environment more cheerful. Om, Gauri and Shivaay got to know only one thing about her and that was, she was a person who used to smile for others but never let any one cry for her.
One day, Shivaay was busy in studying a case. Whole day he didn't come out of his room. This thing irked Mishti a lot. She was habitual to be taken care of, especially by Shivaay. She loved to be pampered by Shivaay. And today when she couldn't get a glimpse of him, she felt extremely sad as well as angry.
When Shivaay came out of his room, it was half past ten at night. He directly went to see Mishti in her room. She was sleeping hugging a photo frame. He made her lay down properly and kissed her forhead. He was very surprise to see his own picture in the frame that she was holding.
Next morning, Shivaay kept asking apologies from her for ignoring her but she was in full mood to show him tadi. This frustrated Shivaay to the core. At last, his patience broke and he pinned her to the wall.
"Stop ignoring me Mishti. I said I'm...." he stopped speaking when he looked at her scared face. She was sweating badly. She was behaving the way she used to do when she had met him.
He hugged her tightly to calm her but she was out of control. It was the first time Shivaay talked to her in high pitched voice that scared her. She was so habitual to Shivaay's sweet words that his rudeness caused her to shiver.
When she didn't stop blabbering in fear, he kissed her lips slowly. She didn't respond but stopped shivering atleast. He found her unconscious when he broke the kiss. He sat holding her in his arms. He knew he created a blunder. What he did, the worst of it was definitely experienced by her in her past. She was recovering from her trauma but his action may cause her to go back to that same state or even worst than that.
When Anika woke up, she got scared to find herself in Shivaay's arms. She tried to come out of his arms. Shivaay woke up in this process. He tried to hold her but she kept moving backwards. At last Shivaay pulled her towards himself but being careful enough not to scare her more.
"Mishti, I'm so sorry that I shouted. I'm sorry. Please don't get scared from me, I won't do anything. If you want you can slap me also, like this." Saying so, he slapped himself in a funny way to make her laugh and succeed as well.
"Mishti, never leave me alone. I like when you talk to me and play pranks on me. So whatever you want but never stop talking to me, Ok ?" He asked holding her close to himself. She nodded silently staring him. What she did next was beyond shocking.
She kissed him with her delicate lips. He held her waist, she traced her hands all over his back. Don't know why, but she just did what her heart said and she doesn't regret it.
This one moment changed their life for good, for the best. When she said sorry for kissing him, he confessed his feelings and said that he doesn't regret what she did as he wanted that.
His confession did magic. Anika recovered from her traumas quickly but she didn't remember anything about her past. She behaved like a typical girl friend at times, who was possessive about her Shivaay. Shivaay was also not less in showing possessivenes for her. Shivaay used to feel scared if she remembered her past and she left him. But it didn't mean that he didn't wish for her to get fine soon.
Om and Gauri found a sister in Misti and Shivaay found his love. He fell for her innocence as well as her naughtiness. Mishti fell for his care. Everything was perfect, just perfect. But the destiny had already decided what was to happen.
One of Gauri's friend was getting engaged so she was invited. Gauri insisted on taking Mishti with her. But Shivaay didn't give her permission. After a lot of emotional blackmailing, Shivaay agreed but he also went with them.
Everything was going good. But don't know why, Shivaay was feeling restless. He felt as if HIS Mishti was in danger despite seeing her in front of his eyes, safe. He was observing her silently. She was talking and laughing with Gauri and her other friends.
Suddenly Mishti's face expressions changed from happy to scared. She was shivering with fear and sweating badly. Gauri also noticed the change and she could hear Mishti blabber something. Her eyes were fixed on someone infront of her.
Shivaay and Gauri brought Anika back to home when she fainted. Gauri told Shivaay that Anika's behavior changed after seeing Veer pratap chauhan, one of the guests.
Shivaay immediately asked Om to get information about him. He was sure His Mishti's past was related to Veer. It was not at all difficult to get information about Veer. But to digest the happenings related to him and Mishti were really shocking.
Om found Veer's residence which was on the outskirts of the city. With much difficulty Om and khanna, Om's most trusted helper got into veer's house. As he was not at home, they searched the whole house easily. Om found some property papers and... Mishti and another girl's picture. There were also the papers of another house.
They went to that address. The house was locked. After the inquiry they got to know that the house belonged to a girl named Anika. She and her friend Sara used to live there. After Anika got engaged, her fiancee also started living with them.
But it was not enough. The people of the locality told them about the strange voices coming from the house. They inquired many times, but either Sara or Veer would open the door and say that renovation work is being done and Anika was never seen afterwards as they had told to the people that she was out for some work.
Before three months, Sara and Veer left this house. After getting all this information, Om decided to directly talk to Veer. As he and khanna entered his house they found Sara and Veer talking happily.
"Who are you both ?" Sara asked from Om and Veer also looked at them with a suspicious look.
"Do you know Anika ?" Om asked another question instead of replying to her. Veer and Sara's faces lost their colour hearing Anika's name. They were not saying anything so Om used another trick. He put a gun on Sara's head and asked her to speak the truth.
She told everything to Om. She used to live in orphanage with Anika. As Anika was intelligent and hard working, she won scholarships to continue her studies and Sara couldn't study further. This infuriated her. Anika was a very strong and hard working girl. There was nothing that could make her scared and this was the most hated thing by Sara in her.
Then Anika got job in a well known company and started earning. She was well settled. When Sara had to leave the orphanage Anika gave her shelter. But Sara's greed and jealousy made her hate Anika very much. So she along with veer made a plan to torcher Anika and get all her property and money.
Veer trapped her in his love and got engaged to her. Anika's immense love for veer gave them the opportunity they wanted. They started giving Anika drugs and torchered her badly. As they were successful in transferring Anika's property, they were planning to kill Anika but she ran away and they didn't even try to find her.
Listening to all of this, Om and khanna had tears in their eyes. Their Mishti had gone through so much. Om's little sister had to tolerate all of this. He was definitely not going to spare these two. But Om was thinking about Shivaay's reaction.
Om had recorded the confession of Sara and Veer and he handed them to the police before telling Shivaay everything. He knew that Shivaay would kill them with his own hands for doing all of this to his Mishti.
After making sure that veer and Sara were in jail, Om told all this to Shivaay. Only he and Gauri knew how they handled Shivaay. Only after asking him to be calm for mishti's sake, Shivaay calmed down.
Flashback ends
Mishti/ Anika regained her consciousness and the first thing she did was to hug Shivaay. "H..He...He will kill m..e Sh...Shivaay he w..ill kill me....s..save m..me pl..." Anika kept clinging to Shivaay like a baby who is scared.
"No Anika, he won't come near you. I will not even let him or anyone else look at you with wrong intentions. I'm here, and I'll never leave you. Do you trust me ? Say something Mishti." Shivaay asked from Anika.
"When you will know my past, will you love me like this only ? What if you also leave me like my parents and others ? I'm bad that's why everyone leave me, will you also leave me ?" She asked crying terribly.
"I know every thing about your past Mishti. And you are not bad, those people were bad who left an angel like you. You are a gem, my Mishti you are. I love you, Mishti, no matter what. I want to ask you, will you stay beside me always, to care for me, play pranks on me, to make me mad with your talks ? Will you marry me, Mishti ?" He asked holding her hands in his.
Anika was speechless. She was so happy that her words were stuck in her throat. She kissed his lips with all the love she had in her heart. He also responded with equal passion.
"We didn't see anything, love birds." Om and Gauri closed their eyes as they entered the room and found the two love birds busy in their own world. Anija blushed hearing them and hugged Shivaay out of happiness as well as shyness.
"Ahem...You really need to run, young man as I found you kissing my lovely sister. I have the right to punch your face for touching her." Om said to Shivaay while trying to sound authoritative but it was pathetic.
"She is my to be wife, Saale ( means Brother in law but Shivaay said it as a taunt ). It's my right. Now get lost." Shivaay said in an equally authoritative voice.
"Shivaay, he is my elder brother. So you need to take his permission before marrying me. I won't marry you if he denies." Anika said with an innocent face and Shivaay's eyes widened.
"You're joking Mishti, right ?" Shivaay asked with hopeful puppy eyes but Anika nodded in no with the same innocence. Shivaay narrowed his eyes at Om who smirked and then at Gauri who was trying to hold her smile.
"Come on, beg infront of me or else, forget my sister." Om again said with a proud look.
Shivaay looked at the three pranksters and then smirked. He then again looked at Anika and sealed his lips with hers. He kissed her passionately causing Om and Gauri's eyes to come out of their sockets.
As Shivaay broke the kiss, he smirked at Om and then ran towards Om who already ran out of the room to save himself from Shivaay. Anika and Gauri also followed them. After messing the whole house, they finally sat on the floor laughing.
Anika and Gauri also joined them on the floor. Shivaay hugged Anika and Om hugged Gauri.
After going through the pain of betrayal and loneliness, Shivaay and Anika got their true love. And Shivika and OmRi got their happily ever after.
