"Ma !!" They heard a girl shouting in excitement.
A girl came and hugged Gayatri tightly and Gayatri smiled while reciprocating the hug.

"My Pari is looking very happy, What happened ?" Gayatri cupped the girl's face and asked about the reason of her happiness. While the two were busy in their own world and rest were admiring the bond, elder oberois as well as Shivaay were shocked to hear Gayatri calling the girl Pari because Gayatri used to call Pari only to 'HER'.

As the girl turned towards them, the land beneath their feet slipped away. Gayatri smiled an dragged the girl towards Dadi, pinky and janvi.

"Ma ( to Dadi) look, our Pari is here." Gayatri said making them even more shocked.

"she..." janvi tried to speak but couldn't form words.

"Naira, Pari, you both go as you had to discuss something about the wedding. Take omRu, Rivya and Prinku with you. Go." Gayatri said to Naira and 'pari' left from there but OmRu, rivya and Prinku denied to go as they couldn't digest what just happened.

Shivaay stood there like a statue. He couldn't grasp this all. He was not able to understand anything. His ANIKA was just standing infront of his eyes, but Gayatri was calling her as Pari. She used to call MEERA, her daughter as Pari. But meera died when she was three years old and Shivaay was seven. How could this be possible.

"I found my Pari back, ma. You said to me when I lost her, that God won't be so cruel to me. That time he snatched my daughter but he gave her back to me." Gayatri said and cried with happiness.

"But...but How, when...." pinky asked still looking in the direction Anika or meera/Pari went.

"Two tears ago we found a girl on the river bank when we visited Mumbai. S...She was injured badly. Somebody had sh..shot her in her heart. We took her to hospital. The doctors thought they won't be able to save her as she had lost lots of blood and her injuries were very deep. But she survived." Gayatri stopped as she felt a lump forming in her throat.

"she didn't know anything about herself. The doctors said that she lost her memory due to the head injury. Don't know why but I couldn't stop myself from calling her as my daughter. Gayatri didn't object either. Infact she was thankful to God for blessing us with another daughter." Mahendra told them the rest of the information and consoled Gayatri who was crying by now.

"We had thought to inform police about her so that she could find her family. But then, the thought that some one had tried to kill her made us scared. I may sound selfish, but I didn't want to let her go. She didn't know us, but she loved us as if, she was with us all these years." Mahendra said.

"after a few days, I noticed something. She had the same birth mark on her neck as mahendra has on his neck. Meera also had this birth mark. That... That gave us a new hope that may be.. may be this girl was our meera only. We did a DNA test and.. it was proved. That was the happiest day of my Life. I found my princess, Gayatri found her Pari." Mahendra also started crying after he told everything to them.

They were happy, but they failed to notice the happiness on Shivaay's face. He sat on the sofa, and silently cried. Pinky sat with him and caresses his face. She had cried every day seeing his miseries and today he was happy, after whole two years.

Seeing Shivaay's reaction, mahendra, Gayatri, Manish, suwarna, Suraj and Surekha thought he was crying because he got meera back. It was true but more than that he was crying because he found his Anika back. His Anika is his childhood love, His meera.

"Oh god, thank you so much for listening to my prayers. Today you gave us our Anika back. You gave me my billu's happiness." Dadi thanked God by joining her hands and closed eyes.

"Anika !" It was suwarna who noticed the name Dadi mentioned and that's when Oberois noticed that nobody knows about Anika/ meera/ Pari being Shivaay's wife.

"Two years ago, my billu lost his wife, Anika. I thought, God is so cruel to him. But today I realised that God wasn't cruel to him but he was just trying to make you meet your daughter." Dadi said to Gayatri and mahendra, increasing their confusion.

"Wh...what are you saying ma ji ?" Mahendra asked as they were not able to understand anything.

Om told everything to them and cleared their confusion. The confused faces turned to shock and Gayatri and mahendra were crying when they listened to the pain their princess had to endure all her life. But they were happy that their daughter got a husband like Shivaay and Oberois as her in laws.

"So you were true on your words, Shivaay. Do you remember ? you had said, that you will get married to Pari only. You just did. I'm so happy." Gayatri exclaimed in happiness.

"B...but she do..doesn't even remember me. I l...lost her." Shivaay closed his eyes as he felt his heart aching with the mere thought of her not knowing him.

"Yes. But have you noticed, she fell in love with you when she didn't even know that you both know each other from childhood. It proved that... MIND FOEGETS, BUT HEART ALWAYS REMEBER WHOM IT LOVED. THE MEMORIES MAY FADE AWAY BUT FEELINGS DOES NOT. Even we thought we lost our daughter, but her heart knew us, her heart had feelings and respect for us as a child would have for his parents. She may have forgotten you, but her heart would tell her that she belongs to you, and you to her." Mahendra said to Shivaay giving him the confidence to not lose hope.

"Don't chase the old memories, make new ones. More beautiful, more strong ones." Janvi said to Shivaay and he smiled while nodding his head in approval.

OmRu, Rivya and Prinku left towards Naira's room to meet their bhabi. May be she doesn't know them, but they love her heart, and they know that now also, she will love them as much as she used to do.

Naira introduced meera/Anika to them and she mingled with them very well, as if she knows them from a long time. She loved Om's poetries, Rudra's prank ideas, Gauri's bareily style language, Bhavya's bold and cute attitude. She loved all of them and felt herself connected to then.

She, along with the others, was teasing Naira as Naira was missing kartik who was out of town. Naira literally ran behind her to stop her from making fun of her. Meera ran as fast as she could but stumbled because of her ghagra ( long skirt type thing ) and also because the curtains were flying because of the wind coming from big widows in the corridor.

Before she could fall, someone caught her from her waist, possessively. That person wasn't able to balance himself as meera was running and that caused both of them to fall on the ground with meera on top of him.

She was scared for a minute but the way the person caught her in his arms, she felt safe, in a way she feels protected in her father's embrace. She felt this touch was familiar, as if, she was habitual to this touch.

She opened her eyes slowly, to see someone staring at her. Beautiful, Kanji eyes ! That's what she thought when her eyes met his.

He looked at her, without blinking his eyes, trying to make himself believe that she was infront of him. He caressed her cheek and and she blushed making him smile. She still reacts to his touch the way she used to do.

"Ahem ahem !" They heard some throat clearing voices and turned their head towards the sources of the voices and found the youngsters, looking at them with mischievous looks and trying to hide their smiles.

MeeShi ( Meera+Shivaay ) got up ( unwillingly ) and looked away to avoid embarrassment. It's not just about falling, they were literally staring each other for good ten minutes and it was definitely not going to be well with Naira.

"Naira is going to tease me like anything, think something, Meeru !" Meera thought.

"Blue eyes hypnotize Teri kardi a manu, I swear three piece suit de vich bomb lagda manu..." Naira sang looking at meera with a teasing look and meera mentally face palmed herself. She so wanted to kill Naira for this. She was embarassed infront of this kanji eyed person because of Naira.

Meera tried to run behind Naira to teach her a befitting lesson but..... her feet got stuck in the curtain and she stumbled. But she didn't fall down.

"Not again !" Meera thought as she closed her eyes and felt two hands wrapped around her waist caging her protectively.

"Abhi na jayo chhod kar, Ke dil abhi bhara nahi hai..." it was Rudra this time.

"Shutup, Rudra." Shivaay chided Rudra and in return got a puppy face. "But this song suits you bhaiya, I'm sure your heart would be singing this song only." Rudra said and got a giggles from others and a glare from Shivaay.

Shivaay looked at meera/Anika who was blushing like anything and playing with her bangles to avoid such embarrassment. "So cute" Shivaay thought as he looked at her bowed down long lashes and pink cheeks.

"Pari !" They heard Gayatri calling meera and taking it as a chance, meera ran from there.

"Don't worry, Shivaay, bhabi will remember everything very soon." Om said as he kept his hand on Shivaay's shoulder to console him.

"Bhabi ?" Naira exclaimed in confusion and looked at others for an explanation. Soon she was told everything and she also joined hands in mission "Shivika/MeeShi".

At night, after dinner, Meera sat infront of the pond in the garden. It was her favourite place. It's a pond surrounded by  lots of flowers as well as lanterns floating on the water made it look magical.

By sitting here makes her feel calm and her incomplete memories don't haunt her at this place.

She always get some flashes of her past. She, sitting beside a pool with SOMEONE. It was a man, but she doesn't know how he looks like. She feels, she knows him. Even though, she doesn't remember but she misses him a lot, she feels he is a part of her and she is incomplete without him.

She knows that she has lost her memory, she also knew that mahendra and Gayatri were not her parents. But they loved her more than they would have loved their own daughter. She also loved them. And then God gave her a blessing, she found that they were her real parents. That day was the happiest day of her life.

She should have been happy for that and she is. But she still feels that someone out there is waiting for her. Here, sitting beside the pond, she keeps looking at the moon because she feels, someone else is also looking at this moon from some corner of the world.

"May I sit here, Meethu ?" She heard someone asking from behind her and she turned to find the same kanji eyed person standing there with a smile.

After the falling incident, she was embarassed to face him. But she nodded in a yes and he sat beside her. Suddenly she realised what did he just call her and she looked at him.

"You can say what you want to, I won't eat you, I promise." He said making her shocked as how he got to know what she was thinking.

"Stop thinking how do I know what you're thinking." He again said and this time she asked him what she wanted. "Why d..did you call me m..meethu ?"

"Don't you remember me ? I'm... your Billu ( he chuckled ). You used to call me by this name in your childish voice. How I used to hate this ! ( he looked at her with a small smile ) I never thought I would say this, but... I missed it so much." He almost whispered last line and she felt a sudden pain as she could see the pain in his eyes because of the light coming from the lanterns.

"I... I.." She tried to speak but what she could say when she doesn't remember anything and first time in these two years she felt like crying because of this memory loss.

"It's ok, don't feel bad. You are here, infront of my eyes and that's enough for me. I may sound stupid, but it's true. I missed my best friend so much." He completed and looked at the water, not able to hold himself. He wanted to say that he missed his love, his life. But for now, he had to stop himself.

"I.. I don't remember anything. But may I get a chance to make new memories, with my best friend ?" She asked from him, with hope in her eyes.

"You don't need to. You really don't need to ask permission. Infact, I would like to have that meethu back who used to, ( he chuckled) order me." He looked at her as she was smiling.

"What else I used to do ?" She asked with curiosity, to know more about him, about her, about them.

"You used to make me run behind you throughout the palace. Shiv, I want this. Shiv, I want that. Shiv, play with me. Shiv, don't go away from me. ( He laughed a little) you used to literally threaten me by saying that... that you will punch me if I would leave you. Like se...seriously ( he laughed loudly making her frown cutely ) You...You used to think that you can punch me with your soft tiny fists." He said and looked at her, who was by now angry but she did look really cute.

"I can punch you ok, and I know I must have been very strong that time also." She said being proud of herself and he laughed at her antics. He thought, she was still the same.

"Please meethu, your punch would feel to me as if it's a feather tickling my skin." Shivaay teased her as he took her soft hands filled with bangles and examined them thoroughly.

"Okay. Let's do a competition and then decide what I can do or not. I look like Priyanka Chopra but I have power in me like dara Singh, okay ? Try to fight with me, come on." She said as she invited him for arm wrestling.

She started having flashes of saying something similar to the man whose flashes keep haunting her but she shrugged those thoughts away and concentrated on the task at hand.

He also remembered that they had done it when she had kicked him out of the bed at night and then she challenged him for arm wrestling. He smiled and decided to play along.

She tried her level best to defeat him but billu was grinning seeing her struggling. She looked so cute when she made different faces while trying to defeat him. She tried to defeat him using both of her hands but useless.

"You won't be able to do it meethu, accept it." He said trying to make her back out.

"You are making fun of me ( She frowned ), I already hate you, BAGADBILLA." She said in angry tone and suddenly his smile lessened and he looked at her. She couldn't guess what was he thinking, his eyes were saying that he was happy and his mouth was silent.

"I'm sorry I..." She tried to apologise but he stopped her.

"Don't apologise, you don't know how much I've craved to listen this from your mouth." He said and she looked at him bewildered and he winked at her.

That's it. Her heart skipped a beat and she just couldn't do anything. She lost the fight and realised it later.

"You... you cheater. How could you do th..that ?" She asked still blushing.

""What did I do, Meethu ?" Shivaay asked in an innocent tone.

"You..you, I hate you. You are a cheater. YOU ALWAYS DO THE SAME. LAST TIME ALSO YOU DID THIS TO ME." She said in a flow but they both realised it. He was happy that she still has those memories in some corner of her heart and she was confused. She couldn't think anything and ran from there saying good night to him. He left from there, with a new hope shining brightly in his eyes.

She looked beautiful as she descended the stairs, clad in a beautiful yellow coloured lehenga and hair left open, just the way he likes. She smiled as she found him standing a little far from other people. She marched towards him with big steps, excitement clearly visible in her kohled eyes.

He could guess by her looks and excitement that she was upto something. Nobody could beat her in innocence, true. But nobody could beat her in naughtiness too.

He definitely got his best friend back as this one month passed smoothly for both of them. They became the same Shiv and Meethu as they used to be in childhood. He became the same Shiv who used to pamper her and she became the same meethu who used order him, something only she had the right to do.

He came back from the thoughts of his one month journey of their friendship in between the functions of Naira and kartik's wedding as she said "hello" in her ever so chirpy voice.

"What are you upto, little bird ?" he asked called her little bird at times when she would behave like that, chirpy and jumping here and there in excitement.

"You know I... wait ! Don't call me little bird. And guess what ? ( She squealed by fisting both her hands and twirled while jumping a little, making him smile ) I stole Kartik's shoes. He will get mad at me for not being on his side to protect his shoes and being on Naira's side and stealing them. But I'm sure I'll win." She told the reason of her happiness.

He found it amusing. How could she just find so much of happiness in the smallest of things. May be that was the reason she was his little bird, his meethu and, his Ani, his love, his wife, .... list is long, so useless to count.

They stood together and watched the couple taking seven rounds around the holy fire. Anika was the one looking at the couple, but he was staring his Ani around whom his world revolved. Her smiled was getting wide as she kept showing the couple with flower petals from the plate she had in her hand, she was surely HIS one unique little bird.

As the priest announced that the couple was rightfully married and started taking blessings from the elders, Anika pulled shivaay from there and took him towards a room. He was startled and kept following her.

As they entered the lavish room, he found Anika looking throughout the room, as if trying to find someone. Shivaay looked at her in a quizzical way.

"I asked Khanna bhaiya to take care of the shoes, but he isn't here." She said sadly. Her sad face was enough for him to take khanna's class.

He called khanna and literally started killing that poor soul with his loud voice and scoldings. Anika snatched the phone from him and asked about the shoes. She hanged the call after getting the answer.

"Where are the shoes ?" asked Shivaay.

"There" said Anika while pointing towards the top of the cupboard. It wasn't too high but also not low to be reached easily. They tried but could not get hold of the box.

"We need something to climb upon to get hold of the box." Said Anika while looking around the room. When she looked back at Shivaay, he was sitting on his knees and held his hand in the air, so that she could put her feet on his palm and pick the shoe box.

She was baffled by his gesture. It wasn't that simple as it looked. She knew him very well, though from a month. He was not a person who would bend infront of anyone so easily.

She was still in a daze but put her feet on his palm to pick up the box when he gestured her to. After that her whole thought process kept revolving around this one thing. The little part of her heart was happy.

The whole function ended on a happy note and Anika had fun while troubling kartik and Naira. Everybody slept as it was a happy but a tiring day. Only Anika was the one who was wide awake and thinking about his little gesture.

She was sitting on the swing in the garden and trying to swing it on her own. Suddenly someone came and started pushing the swing slowly. She tilted her head a little to see Shivaay.

She smiled as her hair kept flying in the air due to the motion of the swing. "What happened, meethu ?" he asked from her and as she called her meethu, she knew that he guessed she wants to ask something.

"You always show tadi to every one, even to me, sometimes. Once you said that you never bend infront of anyone except Dadi, then why did you bend infront of me today ?" asked Anika and he stopped pushing the swing.

As the motion of the swing stopped, he came infront of her and sat on his knees as she was still sitting on the swing.

"I told you that I never bend infront of anyone except Dadi, but did I tell you that..." Shivaay stopped for a while to look at her face.

"That.." Anika asked curiously. He exhaled deeply as he opened his eyes after closing them for a moment.

"That I'll only bend infront of the women of my dreams. The one, who would be the LOVE OF MY LIFE, MY WIFE, THE WOMAN WHOSE HAPPINESS I WOULD DIE FOR." He said honestly, looking into her eyes.

Her heart as well her mind stirred by this sudden.... confession. A part of her was happy, but her mind was saying another story. Her mind started spinning as the flashes of her past revolved in her mind. The same words were ringing in her ears, said to her by someone else, in her dreams. She remebered talking and laughing with someone. The next second, every thing went blank.

Panicked is a short word to describe Shivaay's state when she fainted and fell off the swing, directly in his ever protective arms. He patted her cheeks but she didn't respond. He carried her towards her room.

At this moment his brain didn't work. He didn't know what to do. Whether to call the doctor, or call the family and tell them about Anika's condition. He just simply sat beside her taking her hands in his hands.

She opened her eyes slowly and found herself in her room. Her eyes got moist as she recalled the happening of last night and the two years and...the happenings of her past life, the way she suffered all her life as an orphan, how Shivaay entered her life as her sun and how she got separated from him.

She tried to get up but the tight hold on her hand stopped her. Her tears flowed more as she saw his tear stricken and sleeping face, it wasn't a peaceful sleep, though.

She touched his face and bent down to kiss his forhead. As her lips touched his forhead, his frown turned into a small smile. The words he said in his sleeping state gave her pain.

"I'm a m..murderer... I...killed my jaan.. I'm... a Mur...derer.." said Shivaay in his sleep and sweat beads formed on his forhead.

She kept her head on his chest and hugged him tightly. He opened his eyes but he felt it was a dream, beautiful but a dream. But when he heard the sound of her sobs he understood it was all real.

He caressed her hair as he got his life back. He was hell scared when she fainted last night. He thought he lost her again.

"M...meethu..are you ok ?" He asked as he slowly broke the hug and got up.

"Fine. N..now You.. care about meethu more than..your khi..dkitod An..nika.." She said while still sobbing.

He looked at her as his eyes widened and realisation struck him. She knows him, she got her memory back, she knows about those precious moments they've spent together be it their cute fights, Tadi filled arguments, Khidkitod fun and most importantly their ISHQBAAAZI.

"Y..ou remember ?" He asked, still not being able to believe it.

"You still have a doubt yo..you Bagad billa.." She said with a frown and hit him with a pillow directly on his handsome face. As the pillow hit his face, he smiled widely and pulled her to himself, hugging her as tightly as possible.

"Now I believe it" he said as he showed her hair with kisses. "I..missed you" he whispered slowly yet painfully.

"I'm sorry" she too whispered in his ear and sobbed. He broke the hug and wiped her tears.

"Shhh...we are together, that's what matters." Shivaay said to her and she nodded cutely.

"But y..you suffered so much because of my stupid plan... I..I'm sorry." She said and broke into tears again.

"No, I suffered because I couldn't protect you, that wasn't your fault. And I got my Ani as well as my meethu back, you got your parents, we should be happy for that." He said, trying to show her the positive side of the mishaps.

"You always protected me, it wasn't your fault. It happened because of my stupid plan." She said, blaming herself.

"Thank God ! Atleast you agree that your plans are stupid always." Said Shivaay, so that she comes out of her crybaby mode and stop blaming herself. Anika broke the hug and started hitting him with the pillows.

Soon they were running behind each other to hit the other and throwing pillows as well. Finally when the cotton of the pillow was flying in the air, the stopped and Shivaay pulled her to himself and cocooned her in his embrace completely.

THE END
