Its been 3 hours since Anika was taken to OT for her surgery. Shivaay sat on the chair in front of OT. His eyes were bloodshot.

It was the first time in his life when he was afraid to lose someone. He wasn't sure for his feelings towards Anika but he surely started liking her. He got habitual to her bubbly and positive nature.

He was scared that he might lose someone dear to his life, either his wife, Anika or his sister's last part, her baby.

A tear drop escaped from his eyes. Suddenly, he felt a small girl sitting beside him.

He looked at her and she wiped his tears with her little hands.

G- Why ale you clying? Ale you hult?

Shivaay shook his head in negative.

S- No. My wife and baby are in there and I'm scared.

G- Don't wolly, uncle. Youl wife and baby will be good-good.

The girl said and Shivaay Smiled.

S- I hope so too. Why are you here? Where's your Mom dad?

Shivaay asked her worriedly.

G- My Mom is in thele. My dad is also in thele. You know I'm going to have shmall shistel (sister). I'm waiting fol my glandmaa.

The girl explained it to him and Shivaay Smiled.

S- Atleast someone is happy.

Suddenly a man from another OT came out with teary eyes and a big smile. He was carrying a small baby in his arms.

M- Tish. Come here. Have a look at your sister.

The small girl ran towards him and he sat in his knees and showed the small baby to her sister. Tish squealed happy.

T- Dad, she is like me.

The man chuckled.

M- Yes. She is like you. Do you want to meet mommy?

Tish nodded her head happily.

M- come.

The man held her hand and was about to take her inside when Tish stopped and turned to look at Shivaay.

T- Bye stlangel (stranger).

S- Bye.

Shivaay bid bye to her with a smile.

He had a sudden thought of having a baby girl just like her. His chain of thoughts were broken by Anika's doctor.

D- Mr. Oberoi?

Shivaay rushed towards her.

S- How is my wife?

D- Look Mr. Oberoi. We've stitched her cervix up for now and the mother and baby, both are fine. We'll keep her under observation for another 24 hours and then you can take her home. But please make sure that she doesn't take stress and She should be on complete bedrest. If you want we can hire a nurse for first 15 days for you to understand her routine. You've take very good care of your wife, Mr. Oberoi otherwise you can lose both mother and baby.

Shivaay nodded his head in understanding.

S- Can I meet her?

D- Yes. We're shifting her in a separate room and she'll gain consciousness in about 1 hour. Then you can meet her.

Shivaay nodded his head.

S- Thank you so much, doctor.

The doctor smiled politely and left.

Shivaay dialled Taai's number and informed her about Anika's condition and she sighed in relief.

After Anika was shifted to a different ward, Shivaay was sitting by her side, holding her hand.

Anika started gaining consciousness and she felt some weight on her hand. She opened her eyes and looked at Shivaay, who was looking at her with teary eyes.

Anika got worried seeing him crying.

A- What happened? Is our baby fine?

Anika's hand immediately covered her baby bump and she sighed in relief.

S- Baby is fine.

Shivaay said meekly.

Anika held his tightly.

A- Are you fine?

Shivaay looked at her with teary eyes.

S- I was so scared to lose you.

Shivaay said and Anika's eyes also got filled with tears.

A- I'm fine and the baby is fine too.

S- Please don't do this to me ever again. I only need you in my life. Noone else. You're my home. If you leave me, I'll di....

Before he could complete the sentence, Anika covered his mouth and shook her head in negative.

A- Don't talk rubbish. I'll never leave you. Now you're stuck with me for your whole life. I won't leave, even if you ask me to.

Shivaay chuckled and nodded his head. Anika chuckled too.

Anika and Shivaay were talking casually when a nurse entered the room.

N- Mr. Oberoi, we need these few medicines.

The nurse said while giving the prescription to him and Shivaay nodded his head.

He stood up and kissed Anika's forehead.

S- Take rest. I'll be back.

Anika nodded her head and Shivaay left.

The nurse was admiring the duo.

N- You're very lucky, Mrs. Oberoi. It was a very difficult decision for Mr. Oberoi.

Anika looked at her in Confusion.

A- What are you talking about?

N- Actually Mrs. Oberoi, your condition became very critical and doctor asked Mr.Oberoi to choose between the baby and you and he chose you. You're very lucky, Ma'am otherwise most of the husbands choose their baby.

Anika gasped in shock. Shivaay chose her over the baby.

N- take rest, Ma'am. I'll go.

The nurse left.

Anika's mind was wandering around Shivaay's decision. Shivaay chose her over his sister's baby. This baby was last piece of his sister, still he chose her.

Anika's eyes got filled with tears.

Who was this man? First he troubled her so much and now he did something so unexpected.
