Shivaay gulped looking at the faces in front of him who were the same as they used to be. Maybe a little dull but everything in this house looked the same as it was. He looked at dadi who kept looking at them, Shivaay also couldn't react as he was lost in her. His dadi who he loved the most and his family who he missed but couldn't gather the courage to tell them how much he missed them.

All the flashes of the past came to his mind when his eyes made eye contact with him as dadi was the only person who kept asking him to stay with Anika. Even Omru suggested the same but their advice he used to ignore thinking they were just assuming but when his Dadi used to say the same, he always wondered why she said that.

Flashback start

"Shivaay Anika is the best life partner for you. She has lost her memory but not you. Don't lose her because if she gets her memory back she will never forgive you", dadi said when Shivaay announced his wedding with Tia. The most offended person was dadi who got angry with his decision

"This was meant to happen and Anika asked me to marry Tia. What is the issue?", Shivaay asked

"Issue? Do you think this is right?", dadi asked angrily

"I don't care let it be dadi. I will divorce her and will take care of her expenses", Shivaay replied

"If she got her memory back then she would never take help from you. Think from your heart not mind Shivaay. Try to understand who you want as a life partner and make decisions wisely. Anika is good for you and you should respect her before it is too late. Tia is the worst choice and you will ruin your life by marrying her. Take Anika out if you need to spend time with her but don't ruin your married life like this", dadi said which made Shivaay think about his decision. That day he started thinking of his decision. Whether he should follow the orders of Mrs. Kapoor or not. If he followed Mrs. Kapoor's orders and married Tia then he knows he will never stay happy with her because a part of him started liking Anika. He want to move forward with her and live a life with her forgetting the differences between their status which are the main hurdle in their married life

Flashback end

Shivaay's thoughts broke when he heard Rudra's shout. Rudra ran towards the family and hugged them tight. Shivaay looked down feeling sad at the sight. He is in his own house but today this house is feeling too strange to him. Right now he feels like he visited his best friend's house and now he is watching the reunion of a family that doesn't belong to him.

His jaws tightened and he clenched his hand into a fist. Everything in this house is pushing him back to the memory lane. His house where he spent half of his life. He missed this house and a tear escaped his eyes when he noticed Rudra hugging Janvi. He could hear their cries and felt bad for separating them. He knows he is the one to be blamed but he knows his reason is also genuine as without Rudra he felt lonely.

"S... Shivaay", he heard dadi's voice and looked towards her. His eyes glistened with tears hearing her low voice full of sorrow and pain. He looked aside to keep himself from crying. He felt too weak to stand there as he felt his legs jiggling. He never thought his house would make him feel like this.  Everything seemed new to him as he visited his house after a long time.

Dadi walked towards him taking slow steps and pulled him into a hug shocking Shivaay as he thought they would ask him to leave like he heard. Did he hear lies? If not then why dadi is happy to see him? Shivaay wondered. Suddenly he felt cold when he felt dadi's arms around him.

With shivering hands, he wrapped his arm around her waist and tightened the hug. Tears started flowing through his eyes remembering his family and the day he left with Anika. He felt himself selfish for leaving his family. He knew his family used to depend upon him but still, he felt what hurt him the most. Nobody from this family deserved this. He kept hugging her for a while forgetting his surroundings

Anika passed a smile towards Janvi who gestured for her to hug. Anika smiled and hugged her tightly with tears in her eyes. Her eyes moistened thinking about the family and seeing dadi's condition.  She pulled away from the hug and noticed Pinky but to her surprise, Pinky ignored her and walked towards dadi who was hugging Shivaay and they were still lost in the moment. Why not? They met after a long time and these years' gap looked eternity to her

"Maa,badi maa, dadi how are you all?", Rudra asked

"We all are fine but where did you go?", Pinky asked

"I can't tell that but at least ask us to sit and have water. We traveled a lot", Rudra said with a pout. Janvi smiled and pulled his cheeks. She asked him to sit and went to the kitchen to get water for all of them as it was easy to guess they traveled a lot because they tried searching for them but couldn't because they left the city

"My Shivaay ", Pinky whispered placing her hand on Shivaay's shoulder. Shivaay broke hug with dadi and hugged Pinky. He is sort of words, family is meeting him like they used to miss him and nothing happened in the past. But he knows Rudra can't lie. If Rudra said they must misunderstood him they they actually did.

"How are you my child?", Pinky asked

"I'm fine ", Shivaay replied with a smile and walked towards Janvi to hug her

"How are you?", he asked Janvi

"Good after meeting you. I missed you a lot Shivaay, Anika, and Rudra. How are you three and are these your children? ", Janvi asked to which Anika nodded

"Yes. You are dadi now", Anika replied and looked towards their children. She hugged Janvi again saying "I missed you ". After breaking the hug, she looked towards Yash and Nikita.

"Yash, Nikita. She is your dadi but you can call her badi ma", Anika introduced them. Yash touched the feet of Janvi and Nikita joined her hands to greet her

"Hello babies don't bend. Hug me instead", Janvi said in a baby voice and hugged them with tears in her eyes. She never thought she would see Shivaay and Anika someday, especially with children.

"She is our and your dadi. She is the best person in this house", Anika said pointing towards dadi. Dadi smiled and gave them blessings when Yash bent to touch her feet and Nikita came to greet her with joined hands. Both looked cute to dadi and she smiled looking at the duo

"She is Shivaay's mother just like me. She is your dadi", Anika introduced Pinky with a smile who turned her face aside but when Yash touched her feet, she couldn't hold herself from giving blessings to her and smiled giving them blessings. Pinky walked towards Shivaay and touched his shoulder which he jerked surprising her

"Will you meet your mother like a stranger?", Pinky asked

"You all made me a stranger. Anyways we are here for a reason. Rudra tell them the reason ", Shivaay said when they all stopped talking and the hall went quiet suddenly

"I love Bhavya and want to marry her ", Rudra said and walked towards Janvi and hugged his mother tightly, and kissed her cheeks

"My sweet mom please get me married soon. You know I love you a lot", Rudra said buttering Janvi which made her giggle to see her small kid back. She missed him a lot and yearned to talk to him but could not because she knew nothing about thier whereabouts

"Ok fine. Stop buttering me. Tell me something about her. What does she do? Who is she and from where? Show me her photo", Janvi asked giggling. Janvi picked Yash and Nikita in her arms and sat on the sofa. She kissed their cheeks and asked if they were fine or not

"I was fine until you kissed ", Yash replied which made all of them laugh as he acted just like Shivaay

"Mom listen to me", Rudra whined when he noticed attention shifting towards Yash, not him. He was talking about something important and it needed attention. How can he tell this when nobody is listening?

"She is a cop and here is her photograph", Rudra said showing a photograph of Bhavya in her formals. She was standing straight wearing her dress saluting looking at the camera

"Have some shame, Rudra. You have so many pictures of her and you are showing this", Anika said and pulled her mobile phone from her jeans and showed one picture of Bhavya who wore a suit and was standing with Rudra

"She looks beautiful", Janvi said and walked towards dadi and Pinky to show the picture

"She is very beautiful.", dadi replied

"If you like her then marry her because I trust you but Rudra don't ever make fun of your marriage ", Janvi advised

"Why did you guys leave?", Janvi asked Shivaay

"She is the main reason my son left the house. She was faking memory loss fooling us", Pinky said angrily. She didn't realize what she spoke because for her Shivaay was innocent. She thinks that her son was a gem and Anika manipulated him and took him away from the family otherwise Shivaay would not from the ones who will leave their family easily

"That was for a reason choti ma. She is the best ", instead of Shivaay Rudra replied when he heard Pinky's reply which looked offended to him as Shivaay was the one who made a mistake not Anika, but who can argue with Pinky?

"If she was best, she could have informed us about Shivaay being fine. She separated us from him ", Pinky said trying to state the facts

"Only if you know the whole truth", Rudra said and left the hall. Shivaay and Anika also walked out of the hall and walked towards their room. The same room which witnessed so many moments and secured so many memories. She was in love with this room as this room reminded her of Shivaay's support.

The door was closed and Janvi came from the back giving them keys. Shivaay thanked Janvi and opened the door to see everything as it was in the house. Just dust is new rest of everything is in its place like it was which impressed them
