[ SOULMATES ] : A Tale of Undying LoveWords: 18124

What did you say ?  You said Annika

is your Step daughter,  Are you saying the truth or I heard something wrong  ?

Asked Mallika who Just came there a few minutes ago

When Mitali heard Mallika's voice

Shiver ran down in her spine

Mitali never wanted Mallika to know about this truth

She knows, If Mallika will know that

She deliberately snatched Arnav from

Nikita and broke their marriage then

Mallika will hate her to the

core

Mallika is her only daughter,

She loved her very much, She can't

see hate for her in Mallika's eyes

When Mitali didn't answer

Mallika once again asked in loud

voice

Mom I'm asking you something

can't you listen  ? I want to know

Is Annika My Sister ?

Mitali quickly composed herself ,

before she turned towards Mallika

and answered

Look Beta, You are thinking wrong

It's not like that..

Interrupted by Mallika

Mom, Just tell me Annika is my

sister or not  ?

Mitali was tongue tied, She couldn't understand What should she say to

Mallika , Should she tell her the truth

or not

Before she could say anything

Arnav , Who was silent till now

Spoke

Yes Annika is my Daughter

From My First Wife Nikita

Jaiswal

When Mallika heard this, She stumbled She wasn't able to believe on

her ears

Annika Whom She Always treated

like her own sister is really her sister

But a Step Sister,  What an Irony  !

Mitali whose face turned completely

Paled, Step forward to say

something ...but Mallika showed Mitali her Palm and told her to stop right there

And When did you get to know that

Annika is your daughter ?

Asked Mallika

Approximately one month ago

Replied Arnav

And you didn't feel important to tell me about it, When you clearly know how much I adore Annika and how much she matters to me ?

asked Mallika disappointingly, shooking her head

We didn't want to hurt you Mallika

Replied Mitali

Really  ? You didn't want to hurt me

and What about Annika ? Did she not get hurt after knowing this truth ?

Do you have any slightest

Idea how much hurt She got

When she came to learn that Her

Best friend is her Half Sister  ?

Asked Mallika with Mitali in

sarcastic tone

You hide this truth because you are thinking about the grief of Your Own daughter ?

Did not you think once

Annika also someone else's daughter  ?

Did she not feel hurt  ?

Then What about her grief  ?

Her grief is bigger than me

Because her Mom is no longer with her !

What type of mother are you?

Who can't understand a child's pain  ?

I wondered

Mallika accused Mitali, While Mitali

was wordless

Mallika turned towards Arnav

Why did your first marriage break ?

Why are you married to Miss Mitali Malhotra ?

I want to know the whole truth

I want to know the real reason for your divorce and your second marriage

Mallika asked Arnav without beating around the Bush

Before Arnav could reply

Mitali answered

It was their mutual decision  !

I am talking with my Dad not you

Mallika said to Mitali in a sharp tone,

Mitali got silent

Yes Dad,  tell me Why you got

divorced with your first wife ?

Whose fault was this ?

She asked Arnav

Sh.e S..he di..vorc.ed m.e

Stuttered Arnav

It means It was your fault

Said Mallika and shook her head

Did you betray her  ?

Mallika asked once again

No Mallika you are thinking wrong about your dad,  It was not his

fault

tried Mitali to say something but Interrupted by Mallika

When I am talking with my Dad then Why are you speaking between us again and again and not letting him speak ?

Above it Why the hell are you trying to prove that Nikita Aunty divorced him without any big reason  ?

Asked Mallika with her Mom

You know what there is no need

to hide anything from me because

I know each and everything I know very well that Nikita Aunty divorced his husband because he cheated on her with her Best friend

Said Mallika while looking at both

Arnav and Mitali with accusing eyes

When Mitali and Arnav heard this

their face turned completely pale

Who to.ld you t..his ?

Annik..a ?

Mitali asked her

Yes,  She told me many years ago that Her father and Her Mom's Best Friend together betrayed her mother ,

Her mother found out that Her Husband is cheating on her with her Best friend that's why She divorced him

Replied Mallika truthfully

And look at my faith that Best Friend was none other but My Own

Mother Mrs. Mitali Raichand !

Said Mallika while having tears in her eyes

It is so hard for Mallika to accept that

Her own mother broke Someone else's marriage due to her selfishness

Look Mallika,  It's not like that

I didn't betray her.. It is Just I and Arnav both fell in love with each

other ..Nikita understood this and That's why Nikita divorced Arnav to make him free from that meaningless

Marriage

Mitali tried to explain Mallika

panickly

Mallika gave her a sad smile and

asked Mitali

Meaningless Relation  ?

Am I looking like a fool to you or a

Ten year old child that Whatever you say to me I will believe it blindly without using my own mind ?

Asked Mallika to her Mother in a extremely serious and loud voice

Hearing this Mitali gulped she tried to say something but Mallika stopped her once again with the gesture of her hand

and said

Don't try to tell me another lie Mrs. Raichand because I am done with

your lies

Do you want to know how I can say with full belief that you both

together cheated Nikita Aunty and Whatever Annika said to me a few years

ago was the truth then listen carefully

First When Annika shared this thing with me, she didn't meet with you. She was unaware of my

parents ..She only met you at my engagement ceremony while she met with the Dad at my wedding

Secondly you said a few minutes ago

that Dad and you both loved each

other but as I know I never saw a glimpse of Love for you in Dad's

eyes..you both are Just compromising with each other in this marriage

In Reality Your marriage is

meaningless and a facade

Even a blind person can see that you

are just pretending like a perfect

couple Infront of the whole world but Actually you both are far away from each other, And I am watching  it since my childhood

Dad don't love you at all !

And the most important thing that

Annika's Mom Nikita Aunty divorced Mr  Arnav Raichand not only because he betrayed her but because she got to know that you are pregnant with

her husband's child

Said Mallika to Mitali , While Mitali

Was hell shocked Even Arnav was completely stunned

Yes Mallika was Right,  Mitali was the

one who deliberately told Nikita that She is pregnant with Arnav's child that's why She divorced Arnav..

Because Nikita didn't want to let the Mitali's child suffer without a father's

name

But about this truth no one knows

Other than Nikita and Mitali,  not even Arnav then how Mallika got to know about it.. Wondered Mitali

Now you are thinking how did I

get to know that Nikita Aunty Already knew that you were pregnant that

time ..Right ?

Asked Mallika

Let me clear your confusion  !

I knew it because I am 6 months older than Annika

It means When Nikita Aunty was pregnant with Annika that time you were Already pregnant with me

So technically you were pregnant

When Mr. Arnav Raichand and Nikita Aunty were married , It means you betrayed your Best friend behind your back

You broke their marriage due to your selfishness, Because You wanted to marry Mr. Arnav Raichand

You knew that Mr  Raichand and his family needed money

And If Nikita Aunty will divorce him then without any other option he has to marry you because You were pregnant with his child

That's why you went to the Nikita

Aunty to beg for your unborn child,

And She was so good that She selflessly agreed and left Mr. Raichand because she didn't want someone to call your child illegitimate, For saving me and you from the taunts of the world she divorced her husband

Her own husband and Friend cheated her and She did sacrifice for an unborn child, Even though she didn't tell anyone,  she is also pregnant with Annika that time

Said Mallika and cried hard

You know what today I am feeling ashamed to have you both as my biological parents

Annika is damn lucky because She got the birth from a mother like Nikita Aunty Who lived her all life with dignity and self respect, She never compromises with her Values not even in her last

days

While I am the most unlucky girl

on this earth, because I got the birth from a lady like you Who is the most

selfish, greedy and vicious woman

You are a Homewrecker

and a black spot on the name of friendship

Even Witch Attacks after leaving

seven houses and You have ruined your friend's house  ?

How can you stoop so low

Mrs.  Mitali Raichand  ?

asked Mallika and fell on the ground

while crying

Mitali came forward to help her but

Mallika stopped her

Don't you dare to touch me

Mrs. Mitali Arnav Raichand with your filthy hands, Otherwise I will feel sick

Today Just because of you I am not

able to meet eyes with Annika ,

Who is my Bestie and Whom I loved more than my soul sister

Today Just because of you

I fell so low in my own eyes, Indirectly I am the reason because of Whom Annika lived her whole life without her father and later without her mother

She lived a life of an Orphan

And the reason is you

Do you know ? Right now I am hating myself to the core because I got the birth from your womb

For this I will never forgive you

In my Entire life

Mrs.  Mitali Arnav Raichand

Said Mallika while crying hard

Advaay who was silently listening to everything from the start came and consoled Mallika

Mallika It's ok.. Now When you know the truth then there is no need

to stay here anymore , We have nothing to do with Mr and Mrs Raichand from now on , Let's go to our home

Said Advaay to Mallika

You are right Advaay,  I have nothing

to do with both of them ..Let's go

I don't want to stay here for a second more.. I am feeling suffocated

Said Mallika while wiping her

tears

When Mitali heard this She got

stunned and said panickly

No..No Mallika beta please don't do

this..I know Whatever I did in the past is wrong but please don't break relations with me.. You are my only daughter

How can you severed relations with your own parents  ?

When Mallika heard this,  She frowned and asked angrily

You did wrong only in past ?

How many more lies you will tell

huh  ?

Just now a few minutes ago You met with Annika, And After returning here you were telling Mr. Raichand

that Annika insulted you

Even you recorded the video

to prove yourself innocent in front of Mr  Raichand..Right  ?

But In reality You recorded the half

video in which only Annika saying

Few harsh words to you but you didn't record that part Where you were provoking and humiliating her deliberately

Do you know how I knew it  ?

Because When You were Insulting Annika that time I too went to meet Annika to

wish her as today was her first day on shooting

And After hearing the whole conversation I was feeling guilty ...I didn't dare to meet with Annika, Because I was feeling

ashamed due to you

And When I came here to Confront

you then I saw that you are manipulating and Instigating Mr. Raichand against Annika because you didn't want to give Annika a penny from Raichand property

That's why you threatened Annika

And here you were saying a white lie In front of your husband to show yourself a noble lady

And What did you say that you love me

so much that's Why you don't want to

give my shares to Annika as she is not your daughter and has to right on

Raichand property ?

Then let me tell you that a Selfish

Woman like you can't love anyone

If you loved me ever then You would have

never got ready for my marriage for the sake of a deal with Advaay, You were with Mr. Raichand in this deal Marriage and hide this truth From me

Then How can you say you love me ?

A Selfish and cunning person like you can never love anyone.. You can only love

Yourself and your happiness

And Yes I am lucky that I got the Husband

Like Advaay, Who always treated me

in a Best way otherwise you both didn't leave a single chance to make my Whole life a deal for money

and wealth

Now You both are exposed Mr.

and Mrs. Raichand, So there is no

need to pretend like a Saint In front of me

You both Listen carefully From now on

I have nothing to do with both of you

I will never identify both of you as my parents.. Every relationship between you and me has ended for ever

Said Mallika to both of them in clear words

And Yes Mrs. Mittali Raichand you

don't worry about your so called property,

Keep it for you because Annika and I didn't need it,  We are never going to take a penny from both of you

Said Mallika and went from there with

her husband Advaay without giving attention to Mittali's pleadings

Arnav Raichand Who listened to each and everything which Mallika said a few minutes ago got extremely angry On

Mittali

So You went to meet Annika to threaten Her to not to take this Property  ?

He asked Mittali in a cold

dead voice

Seeing Arnav angry Mittali got scared

She stuttered

N..o ..No Arn.av

I am so.rry.

Chattak..

Before Mittali could complete her

sentence Arnav slapped her and she fell down on the ground with a thud

Not a word more You

Mean woman , You deliberately went to Nikita to tell her to divorce me due to your child  ?

You deliberately got pregnant with my child That's why you didn't take concentrative pills  ?

Just because of you

I lost my wife,  Just because of you

Nikita My Only love left me

Do you know I hate you to the

core , I really wanted to kill you with my bare hands..Get lost from my

sight before I kill you and don't you dare to come In front me or show me your filthy face

Get out of my house,

we have nothing to do with each other

You are Just My nominal wife in front of everyone nothing else

Said Arnav and pushed her out from

the room

Next Day

Shivaay was getting ready for the

party,  He was wearing his cuff links

When Annika entered in the

room

When he saw her,  A charming smile appeared on his lips,  He told her to help him wear a tie

Annika took out a tie with black and

blue stripes from an exquisite box

and walked towards him

She stretched out her both hands and

placed a blue and black strip tie around his neck , She then tidied up his shirt collar carefully

Shivaay has a strong Aura, His

Originally handsome face and his highly

Customizing hand made suit made him even more handsome

For the World He is still the Most Richest Eligible bachelor of the world,  He is not less than a Hollywood Actor with his charming personality and charisma,

Girls are crazy for him

He always prefers to stay off the limelight

but today When he is Attending a party then definitely no girl is going to leave the chance to impress him

When Annika thought about it

She became slightly possessive and Jealous

When Shivaay noticed her expressions

He asked her

What Happened Anni , Anything wrong ?

When Annika heard this she asked in complaining tone

What is the need to look so handsome every time huh  ? Can't you look a bit less handsome  ?

When Shivaay heard this,  He laughed

Wholeheartedly and asked

Are you Indirectly trying to say that

I am looking handsome  ?

Annika frowned and said

Not Indirectly,  I am directly saying that you are the most handsome person I ever met

So What is the problem in it  ?

Asked Shivaay while raising his eyebrows

I have no problem but you are going to get a lot of compliments and proposals in tonight's party  !

Said Annika with a tint of Jealousy

Oh It means You are getting

Jealous Mrs. Oberoi

Asked Shivaay with a smirk

He loved it, Whenever he saw her getting Jealous or insecure because it shows

that how much she is possessive

for him and how much she loves him

It feels really nice to know that the

person whom you love deeply also loves you with the same depth

Why Should I get Jealous  huh ?

You are forgetting Mr. Oberoi that

You are My husband No matter

how many girls will drool over you

but they can't get you ever because

you are only mine

Said Annika with possessiveness

When Shivaay heard this he hugged her

in his arms

Yes You're right.. I  am all yours Mrs  Oberoi and you are only mine

Shivaay said to Annika

Affectionately While she nodded her head like a child

If you want you can come with me in

the party, I will feel good to have you beside me there

Said Shivaay to Annika

You Already know Shiv that I will love to go there with you but I can't because I am too going for the photoshoot

at the same time

Replied Annika in sad voice

Yes, Your photoshoot is also

Important, No worries we will attend another party together

Said Shivaay While Annika nodded happily

Can I get a kiss Mrs Oberoi

Asked Shivaay

Kiss ? but why  ?

Asked Annika, She couldn't understand why suddenly he was asking for the

Kiss

What do you mean with Why  ?

You are my wife can't I get a kiss

from you ?

Asked Shivaay in a complaining

tone

Of course you can, Don't complain

Mr.Husband

Said Annika with a smile and kissed him on the cheek

Shivaay shook his head, he pulled her through her waist and took her

in a passionate kiss,  Annika was

stunned for a second but later she kissed him back softly ..After five minutes they

broke the kiss

Annika blushed When she saw her

Red lipstick mark on his shirt

collar

When she tried to clean the mark,

Shivaay stopped her by holding her hand

Shiv, let me clean the mark

said Annika

No need,  let it be ..

Replied Shivaay before shooking his head

Why ? Are you planning to attend the party with this lipstick mark

Asked Annika While smiling

Yes, You are right I was

planning this only

admit Shivaay

What  ? Are you serious

Asked Annika surprisingly

Yes,  I am

Although you can't attend the party and be my side physically, but you can be with me in the party this way

He replied indicating the mark of

lipstick on his collar

It's a perfect signal to everyone that now I am Already taken

Said Shivaay while caressing her

cheeks

Hearing this, Annika was really touched

as she felt the unlimited love and

Indulgence from him

She hugged him and kissed him

on the cheek once again before saying

Thank You Hubby for

everything

Later Shivaay dropped Annika in the location of the photoshoot, While he himself went to attend the party
