Tejvi and Shivika were shocked to see Sunaina at the door.

Sunaina walked towards them and stood in front of them.

A- Mum.... Mumma... I... ca... can... exp....explain.

Sunaina shows her palm to Anika to stop her from speaking. Tears started to fall from Anika's eyes. Shivaay and Tejvi were also tensed.

Su- So you knew Shivaay all the while. When he reached here for the first time, you knew him but still you acted like you don't know him. You know his family also then why you lied to everyone, Anika. I have not expected this from you.

S- Aunty, please atleast listen...

Su- I am talking to my daughter. (to Anika) Let alone the lies, here you are making plans to cancel your wedding. If you had problem with this wedding then you should have told earlier but it was you who got ready for getting married to veer.

A- Mumma, I know that I got agreed to get married but I thought that my decision can improve papa's health. I even prepared myself to get married but on our engagement day, when veer said that he doesn't like when women talk to him while looking into his eyes and when he refused to touch your feet , I realised that if I'll marry him then my life will be worse than hell. I'll have to spend my whole life like his slave. I don't want this mumma, please.

Anika started crying miserably and sat down on her knees with a thud. Shivaay was not able to see her state and was about to go towards her when Tej stopped him by holding his hand. Shivaay looks at Tej confusingly but he signs him that let Anika's mother handle her and sort out everything. Shivay nods his head in understanding.

Sunaina also had teary eyes after hearing her daughter's pain. She sat down near Anika and hugged her. Anika also hugged her back.

Su- I am so sorry beta. I failed you as a mother. I never tried to understand that what is going in your life. what are you suffering from? I have understood that veer is not a perfect match for you. I won't let him marry you and make your life hell. I am so sorry, Anika. Please forgive your mother.

Anika immediately broke the hug and shook her head.

A- No mumma, its not your fault.

Sunaina kissed her forehead and they smiles at each other.

They stood up on their places and looks at TejVi and Shivaay who was admiring their bond.

Sunaina went towards them holding Anika's hand.

Su- I am so sorry Bhaisa and Bhabhisa that I misunderstood you all. I don't know that how does Anika knows you but I have realised one thing that you both have given her parents' love. I am grateful to you both.

T- Please don't thank us. Anika is like our daughter and we are very happy to get such a lovely daughter.

Tej says while patting Anika's cheek. Anika smiles at them.

A- Mumma, I don't want to hide anything from you. Actually when I went to college, the hostel warden told me that there were no rooms available so my freind mallika helped me to find a flat. But when I reached there, I got to know that I had to share that flat with Shivaay. Firstly, I refused but then we realised that we have signed a contract that we have to stay for 6 months otherwise our rent will not be refunded. In these 6 months, Shivaay became my best friend and during this time, I met his family and they accepted and loved me as their daughter. Then I got Bhai's message that papa's health is not good so I immediately came here without informing Shivaay. I didn't knew that he will come here.

Sunaina was initially shocked that Anika used to live with Shivaay but she trusted her daughter.

S- I am sorry aunty if we had hurt your emotions.

Sunaina pats his cheek.

Su- Its not your fault. I was little shocked with the revelations that's why I reacted like that. But now I am happy that there are people who care about my daughter. But now that everything is sorted so we have to plan something about this wedding. Have you thought anything?

A- No we haven't planned anything yet.

Su- Anika we have to do something fast because tomorrow is mehendi and then haldi and then wedding.

S- I have already started finding clues against Veer because my sources have confirmed that he is involved in many illegal activities. We just need evidences before wedding to prove that he is not good for Anika.

Su- Oh God! I was not aware that I am pushing my daughter into hell.

Sunaina sat on the bed while keeping her hand on her head. Anika sat beside her.

A- Mumma, we'll sort this out. Don't worry.

Sunaina smiles and caresses Anika's head.

Su- I just hope that you get world's best life partner who will love you, care for you, understand you and let you accomplish your dreams.

Shivaay and Anika looks at each other unknowingly and Sunaina noticed this and smiled.

Su- Anyways, let's go and have dinner.

They nods their head and went downstairs.

At the dining table, they saw Harshavardhan sitting at the head chair. He looks at TejVi with a confused expression.

S- Sir, they are my parents, Tej and Jhanvi Singh Oberoi.

Harshavardhan stood up from his place and greets them and asked them to sit.

H- Where is Tia?

Ad- Papa, she told me that she is going to stay at her friend's house because her friend is unwell.

Harshavardhan nods his head and they start having food.

After dinner, everyone retired to their bedroom except Shivika and Sunaina.

Sunaina and Anika were cleaning the kitchen while Shivaay was waiting for Anika outside the kitchen.

As soon as they stepped out of the kitchen, they saw Shivaay.

Su- Shivaay beta, you didn't went to sleep?

S- Actually, aunty I was feeling suffocated in the house so I thought to go for a walk outside but I don't know the ways so I was thinking if Anika can accompany me.

Su- What's there to ask beta? Take her with you but be careful that no one sees you together otherwise it'll be a big problem.

S- Ok Aunty.

Anika covered her face with her dupatta and they went for walk.

S- You know I am so glad that mom and dad are here and your mom is supporting you.

A- Hmm. I am just scared that what will we do to cancel this wedding?

S- Don't worry Anika. Just trust me.

A- I trust you more than myself.

While they were walking through fields, Shivaay's eyes fell on Tia and a man who was back hugging her.

He held Anika's hand and stopped her.

S- Anika, is that Tia?

Anika carefully looks at that girl and was shocked to see that it was Tia and a man was back-hugging her.

A- Shivaay, it's di. But who is that man?

Suddenly the man broke the hug and they were shocked to see Veer.

A- Veer.
