Singhania Mansion
Mumbai
Sanjana's POV:
Tommorrow is Holi (an Indian festival of evoking spring, a festival of colours) and there is not even a single indication that the Singhania family is going to celebrate Holi.
Is not it a custom for rich families to throw Holi Party?
I have seen the news of extravagant parties thrown by most influential families of country. Akshay Singhania have a habit of being best at everything so why there is no arrangement or anything like that?
There is something which I am missing. Let us find out what it is?
I left the kitchen and came into living room where Ma, Harsheen Chachi and Milapriya Bhabhi were having snack.
"Ma, Can I ask something ?" I said after taking a seat.
"Yes Sanjana, poocho na (Ask away?)" She said while warmly smiling.
"Are we not goin
Singhania's MansionMumbaiSanjana's POV:After meeting with Ritesh Dhananjay. I left for home as meeting was quite successful and we came to an agreement.Today, I realised that I don't even know a thing about Akshay's past. When I had asked Milapriya bhabhi about Avantika, he has told me to ask from him only. So, today I am going to ask him.Nivaana is still here. Yesterday, she was out with her other friends. And today, some of her friends are coming for dinner which aparently are Akshay's acquaintances as well.Ma has asked me to make their visit a worthwhile. So, I decided to make some of the best delicacies of Italian cuisine. Antipastos, Stuffed Ravioli, cherry tomato salad in balsamic vinegar, Pasta and fruit palette.I wore a black lace saree with modern red blouse with my hair left open messily. I came downstairs at around 19:50 o'clock and guests are scheduled
Singhania MansionMumbaiSanjana's POV:I was woken up by constant knocking on the door. I wake up distorted followed by Akshay's groaning. He rolled on the bed and tried to get up when I asked him not to get up "Akshay, lete rahiye aap (Keep resting). You have fever."I glanced at clock and found it is 09:00 o'clock in the morning. I opened the door and it was Alex on the door."Sanjana, Sir had an early breakfast meeting. Is he not awake yet?" He asked."No, cancel all his meetings for the day. He has fever." I told him."Have you called Doctor?" He asked worried."No, I have give him medicine and he is fine now, just need some rest." I explained."Ok, call me if you need anything." And with that he left, I closed the door and retreated back only to find Akshay scowling."What's wrong?" I asked him worried if he
Singhania MansionMumbaiSanjana's POV:Akshay has recovered from his sickness and he also won the challange of being cute. When the dinner was held as planned next week. He somehow manipulated me in admitting him being cute.But what can I say in my defence? He was cute through out whole week and now he is back to his normal self - the usual rude, cold and arrogant.Nowadays, my office schedule is too hectic. I have to go on frequent sites visits on Mr. Dhananjay's factory and Akshay was also busy in his business life.And that Nivaana was always around when Akshay and I got some time alone to spend. I hate her. If she one more time be a third-wheel between us, I am gonna throw her from the terrace of mansion.I am at home today and I am waiting for His Highness to arrive. It is around 2:00 in afternoon and Akshay still has not arrived. When I asked him in the morning h
Singhania MansionMumbaiSanjana's POV:-Ritesh Dhananjay is coming to my home for lunch. I mean I did not invite him personally, he kind of imposed it on me in a non-imposing way.Only informing Akshay about it is left. Its morning so he is at home. I make way to his office and found him engrossed in some conference meeting."Yes, Sanjana?" He asks turning to me."I am sorry to disturb you but a businessman is coming for lunch. We had worked together on a project. So, is it okay with you?" I questions him."Yeah, sure. But who is he?" He asks while tapping away on his phone."Its......" I am about to reply when Alex barges in after knocking twice"Sir, I am so sorry but this an emergency and requires your attention right away." He announces panting."Ok, I am gonna go." I mumbled and rushed out from there.I
Singhania MansionMumbaiSanjana's POV:What is going on in my life is out of my comprehensive abilities even after I consider myself someone with much mental capacity to not get lost in a trail of unsolved tactics.But the happenings of last few days have led me to think the opposite. Nobody is telling me who is Ritesh Dhananjay and how he is related to this family? And, all this happened on the order of one and only His Highness."Its better for her if she does not know. The more she is dragged in this mess, the more complications." I was mimicking him when he came to our room."What's going on in here?" He asks."None of your business." I rudely states.
*Singhania MansionMumbaiSanjana's POV:I am reminiscing the lunch with Ritesh Dhananjay at Singhania Mansion. It was not a quite affair at all.Akshay did not left any chance to mock the guy. He was so uncomfortable by the end of it that he rushed out of Singhania Mansion as if he a fire was set on him.In last few days I have noticed that Nivaana is trying too hard to attract Akshay towards her. What the heck is her problem. Can't she see that he is a married man and what is she still doing at my house?Anyway it is time to steer her clear of my husband. I am not gonna tolerate it anymore. Enough is enough. With determined steps I make my way to guest bedroom which she has claimed as her own.I was about to enter when I heard her talking on the phone. It was not my intention to eavesdrop but she was talking either to Ritesh or about Ritesh. So, I hid
*Singhania MansionMumbaiGeneral's POV:After Sanjana's dramatic exit, the whole Singhania family was tensed.Akshay was on the verge of exploding. Sensing the state of his mind Nilanjla hugged him."Don't do something which you will regret later." She softly murmured in his ear.After few seconds when he calmed down, his brother Ketan handed him a file containing all information about Rakesh. He immediately scanned the content of the file and a devious smile appeared on his face.When he turned to leave, Nilanjla stopped him "Akshay before doing something just have a civilized talk with Sanjana.""Do you seriously think that- that woman is capable of civilized talk?" He gritted out."Just try to talk." Nilanjla muttered ignoring him.Sanjana's POV:I am enraged at Akshay. He has power
Singhania MansionMumbaiSanjana's POV:My family will be here in Singhania Mansion in next 15 minutes and I have not come up with a single idea as to why they are suddenly being moved to Mumbai.I knew for a matter of fact that minions of Akshay Singhania are not going to open their damn mouth even if someone's life is on stake. They will parrot their uasual response." We are just following orders."I just want to throttle Akshay. He always finds way to get me in trouble and irritate me.I am sitting in hall mindlessly watching tv when suddenly Ma switched the screen off."Sanjana your family will be here in 10 minutes and you are watching tv. Go check if everything is ready for their stay."Ma scowled at me."Yeah, yeah I am going." I muttered and go on to check if guest rooms were readied or not.
Singhania's MansionMumbaiAkshay's POV:Sanjana has given me the most precious gift of my life - my boy - Aarav Akshay Singhania. His middle name is not Akshay if you are wondering, actually he does not have a middle name. I would be on cloud nine if he uses my name as his middle name.I can't wait to wrap my work and go home to his delightful laughter. I sometimes bring him to office and boy he does enjoy spending his time here. He will roll all over rug in my office and play with papers, pens and what not.I was not able to bring him today as Sanjana insisted she needs time with her son. She spent most of her time with him as she is on maternity leave but she still needs more time with him.--I rushed to home in anticipation to play with my son only to find Sanjana and Aarav snuggled into each other and sleeping. I softly kissed both of them on forehead before making
Venice, ItalySanjana's POV:After our magical date yesterday night, I woke up in our hotel room. I had fallen asleep in Akshay's embrace after 2 hours or so. He must have carried me here.I am head over heels for this guy and my love for him is only increasing day by day. Where is Akshay? The shower is not running, his bed side is cold - it means he is quite awake for sometime. There was breakfast platter laid down on bedside table.It had pancakes with maple syrup, toasted bread and butter, some Italian cookie and caffe latte. My morning sickness has not hit me yet, so all is good in the hood.--I had freshen up and was about to call Akshay when a knock resonated through the room. I was in Akshay's shirt, so I put a robe on.I opened the door to find Ahaana standing there. What is this witch doing here? I was about to close the door on her face when she for the f
Venice,ItalySanjana's POV:The wedding of Kirti and Ranvijay was finally commenced. In Indian culture, the marriage is considered as sacred, it ties husband and wife for seven lives.In Indian wedding ceremony, there are various pre-rituals- mehndi (henna is applied on bride, the significance of it arises from the fact that henna is a natural cooling and healing agent, so it relives the bride of stress before her big day), haldi ( in this ritual- a paste of turmeric, sandalwood, gramfloor and rosewater is applied on bodies of bride and groom- the significance of these rituals lie in the fact that turmeric is antibiotic in nature--it helps in purifying body as well as gives glow to skin). These are main rituals are followed almost all over India, other than that there are various other rituals depending on the region.The wedding ceremony consist of saptapadi (seven rounds around holy fire, each round signify
Venice, ItalySanjana's POV:All the 300 guests are in Italy for the high profile wedding of Kirti Singhania. The logistics of the wedding were not at all easy to handle even by the professional event planners as the security professionals got involved but somehow it was managed.On top of that Kirti has been in bridezilla mode since last week. I have steered clear of her for the whole time because it is not fun to have a pregnant women and a soon to be bride in one room. When we were together, Akshay has to tear us apart to prevent us from tearing the clothes of each other.The thing which I had forgotten was to apply for leave in the office. In last 9 months, I have taken most of my reserved leaves. Atleast, 3 years of work with almost no leave came in handy. I have asked Kirti to remind me to get approval from my senior but she herself has forgotten. It was Ma who reminded me.M
ABZ Super MallMumbaiSanjana's POV:For Akshay, I have decided to buy customised cufflinks with my and his initials entwined. I will make him wear it tomorrow, it would be such a face slap for that Ahaana. I hope she leaves today only but only hope can't make thing happens everytime.While shopping for Akshay, I came across a baby store. My God! Did not I want to bring home whole store with me. It has so much cute stuff. So, I decided to get few things in neutral colours. I bought those cute penguin and panda pajamas for kids. They were so cute. I just can't wait for my little bean to arrive in this world.I will take tons of photos of him in cute different outfits and some embarrassing too, for his future girlfriends. Sanjana, you are getting ahead of yourself, he is not even 2 months old.Ma was the one who dragged me out of the store while rebuking me "Sanjana, even I am not as
Singhania MansionMumbai{}Sanjana's POV:{}I have just returned from the office and I am way too tired. I just sprawl out on the main sofa in the hall. Pregnancy is a pain in arse. Sometimes, you just want to get over with it.Now, that Rajesh's threat is over - my family has flown back to Delhi. They will be directly flying to Italy for the wedding which will be next week. The only thorn left on our side is that wicked witch of west but she will be gone soon. I am so happy and relieved. I fell asleep while thinking of a sweet future.My sweet sleep was broken by the uneven movement. I opened my eyes not realising where I am only to find myself in arms of my husband."Go back to sleep." He softly murmured to me. I circled my arms around his neck and shook my head at me. "I want to spend time with you." My tone whiny like that of a sp
Sanjana's POV:I woke up from the best sleep of my life only to find space beside me cold and empty.Where is Akshay? I thought to myself as I get out of the bed only to realize I am hungry. I can find Akshay later, first I need food. Some spicy and salty food. My mouth watered at the thought of some spicy Paanipuri.I freshened up quickly and went downstairs."Amrita, Ask someone to bring me 2..no...4 plates of spicy Paanipuri, make sure it is from roadside stall not some fancy hotel." I quickly asked her while reaching for the pantry to take out some chilli flavoured chips."Ma'am, I will ask Neil to get you this as soon as possible." She chirped and went away while I smiled widely at her.Mila and Geetanjali Bhabhi came to kitchen after sometime to prepare dinner only to find me stuffing whatever I can get my hands on."Sanjana, do you wan
Singhania MansionMumbaiSanjana's POV:As soon as we reached home, the whole family was in rage and the target of their scolding was me as I was pregnant and most careless out of all. The most angry was my mother - as she took in what I was wearing, even Akshay's suit jacket was not able to save me."What will happen to my Nati?(Grandchild from daughter) It gave me goosebumps even thinking about that child. I hope he does not take after you at all." My mother was ranting from last half hour."Mom, I will be a very caring and responsible mother. Just because of one mistake you can't scold me whole life."I shouted getting frustrated.Akshay laughed out loud at my statement. " The most childish one in the whole house is talking about being responsible mother." He commented and walked away.I wanted to follow him but was dragged by mother. All the Gods of world, please save me from this torture I will never be careless. I silently prayed. But toda
Goa, IndiaSanjana's POV:We were ambushed in the hotel's corridor by Rakesh and four of his men. How the hell did they enter here? Akshay has told me that he had notified the hotel staff to not let Rakesh enter the hotel premises.Jai, Kirti Di and I were surrounded by Rakesh and his men. I tried not to let the fear I was feeling to be seen on my face but the same cannot be said for Kirti Di."Long time, Kirti." Rakesh taunted while smirking and closing in on us."Stay where you are." Jai warned while pulling out his weapon - A Smith & Wesson Model 60 Revolver.As soon as, the gun was revealed, Rakesh's men also pulled out their weapons. I ambiguously glanced at the spot where I had seen a CCTV, it was not there." What are your intentions?" Jai asked seemingly unfazed by the 4 guns pointed at him. The same could not be said for Kirti Di and me. I consider myse
