Chapter 97: chapter 97

Very soon, Gayatri was shifted from the ICU to the VIP room..Anika walked inside  with papers in her hand that the lawyer had brought..Rahul and Sanjay also followed her..Seeing everyone  going inside, Rahul's mom also made her way to the room..Anika sat beside Gayatri ,took her hand and said," Gayatri I have transferred JK Pvt ltd on your name..It will be under  the roof of Hooda group from now on until it returns to its previous position..I have bought a new villa in your name where you and Rahul can live.These are the papers related to them." Why did you do this ??, you want to separate  my son from me.. you are a bi**h", Rahul's mom rushed towards her with anger. " I think you haven't learnt your lesson yet.. by the way, yes am a bi**ch for  people like you who provoke me..I did this all  because  you have insulted my friend just because she is poor and you treated her mercilessly.. It took just a night to turn the tables.. She is rich and you are on the road now.. and very soon the house which you are living in ,  I am gonna buy it and transfer it in Gayatri's name.. which means even if you live there you will be living on the mercy of my friend"..You gave a name to me, I am just justifying it."Anika said with a smirk..She was as calm as the sea, but as devastating as it becomes.."Rahul, you cannot leave us, we are your parents", She tried to persuade his son.. If she is successful ,she can get back her previous glory, but she didn't expect the hurt words from her son." Mom, I will take care of your food and daily necessities as you have given birth to me , but will never live with you in my life and don't expect anything more from me"But Rahul....please mom, you please leave.Rahul's mom  felt completely helpless and walked out of the hospital with tears in her eyes... She has lost her only son.. " I am sorry Rahul", Anika said and left from there..Sanjay followed her and grabbed her hand to stop her..She didn't turn back as she knew who he was.." Anu, I am really sorry for misunderstanding you.. I never thought Rahul's mom to be so scheming..Anika took a deep breath ,turned towards him, looked into his eyes and said," Sanjay,  Would you have said these words if I would have been a middle class girl without any power.  No. because you would have not given me  any chance to prove what is wrong and what is rightI wonder whether you really loved me or it was just an attraction.. if you love me,you  would have trusted me and believed me.. but you didn't..your friend , Rahul,believed my words without any doubt in his heart but you being my love didn't even give the chance to explain and you were ready to go against me to stop me.. if I would have been powerless I could imagine how tough it would have been to  bring justice to Gayatri, because the great Sanjay was standing in between right??" Anu, everything is normal now, Rahul and Gayatri are together.. Let's forget everything and let's be together..I love you,I can't live without  you..  please, I am sorry"Anika sneered and said," Sanjay, it's not about Rahul and Gayatri.. it's about the person whom  I wanted to support me and stand like a rock by my side..  if I would have been in Gayatri's place and you in Rahul's, I am scared of what would have happened to me.. In the future I will be handling my dad's business and I want someone who can stand by my side when I make tough decisions..  And you  and your family want  a  complete traditional girl and I am sorry I will not meet that requirement..maybe we are not meant for each other, Sanjay.."Anu, please don't say that..""Anika Hooda, that's my name", warning him not to call her Anu again..Sanjay stood speechless when he heard her..She turned around and walked out as if nothing happened  but her heart was bleeding to break up with the person she loved most..Anika crossed paths multiple times with Sanjay later but she treated him as a complete stranger.. whereas Sanjay tried everything to get her back..but all his efforts were in vain..only she knew how painful it was for her whenever she encountered him.She was hurt , deeply hurt with his behaviour.. ***** End of Anika's past******It's been many years since  she has left Sanjay behind. but she couldn't accept any other guy in her life.. Yes Ashish was correct, either I forget or I accept Sanjay.. Her heart was in a mess.. she has taken many tough decisions in an instant in business but this decision was one of the toughest that she couldn't take..I am sorry Ashish, All these years I used your name to stall my marriage but now I have to make a decision soon.She was lost in her thoughts and came to back to senses when she heard her secretary saying ," Mam, Mr Kabir is here to meet you "She knows who Kabir is , she has met him multiple times both in business and personal, earlier when she was in relationship with Sanjay and now because of Nidhi whom she met through Sanjana.." Walk  him to my cabin", she ordered.."Yes mam, Ashish sir is with him.." They are all in the business field and they know each other very well..Soon Ashish and Kabir entered her cabin.."What a surprise, welcome ,"she greeted him with a smile on her face..Kabir greeted her back and sat on the opposite chair. She asked her assistant to send   three coffees for them..After talking business for some time Kabir said ," Anika , I have come here to meet someone in your company??"Anika was surprised and said, " oh !!! who is it who made you  walk here to meet her personally"..Kabir smiled and said, " she is an intern here , her name is Riya".."Riya!!", let me find out in which department she is?? Anika said and picked up her phone.."Anika , she is in the marketing department under me", Ashish said.."But who is she ?? I hope you are not cheating behind Nidhi.. ", Anika pulled Kabir's leg.."Not in my dreams,   Nidhi will eat me alive ", Kabir chuckled. "By the way I am happy that you both are together now.. I spoke to Sanjana recently and got to know about you . ", Anika congratulated.."Thanks Anika, I am planning to arrange a small party for all the friends. you should come.. ""Sure just let me know the date and time, I will be there..", Anika responded positively.. whereas Ashish was tensed when he heard about Kabir looking for Riya..Anika called the Marketing department and said, "ask Riya to come to my cabin"..On the other side Riya was immersed in her work when someone said," Riya , Anika mam wants you in her office"" Anika mam!!!she was scared to hear her name.. she knew Anika is the boss and admired her for achieving huge  success in male dominated business world, but she never had a chance to meet her... but why does she want to see me.. what did I do now?? Oh!! God please help me".. she prayed and walked towards CEO's office..She knocked on the door and walked inside when she heard Anika saying get in..She was quite nervous to meet her boss for the first time face to face..She saw two men sitting Infront of Anika, and she knew one was Ashish and who was the other one..??"Hello Riya, there is someone waiting for you here", Anika said with a smile.."To meet me?? who can it be in this new city who has come to meet me in the CEO's office ", Riya scratched her brain.. and she stood  in her place in shock when she saw the person..Kabir stood from his chair, walked towards her and asked with a smile" How are you Riya?? "Kabir bro, how do you know I am here??"I called your principal and asked him where are you interning,  I got the information, simple ", he said..But why are you looking for me?"Nidhi is looking for you"Riya was shocked to hear him.. How do you know she is looking for me??"because ,we are together now.. ""Really, wow!! ", her voice was full of excitement.. for a second she forgot she was in CEO'S office.Ashish smiled when he saw her giggling like a child and relaxed when he heard Riya calling Kabir ,bro.."Anika, can I take your employee out ??""Of course, Kabir"He smiled at Riya and said ," wait outside I am coming"Riya nodded obediently and walked out.  She is really happy that her friend has reconciled with her husband.. and equally tensed to meet her..Kabir inside the office walked towards Anika and said," Anika, I request you to  give a chance to Sanjay.. He is really guilty for what he did..  I have seen him suffer and cry for you.. He really loves you.. Think about it."Kabir's words disturbed Anika  to the core.
