Point Of View: KaranFinally, it was our marriage day. I didn’t know what I was feeling or what should I feel. Hate, anger, frustration, or LOVE.When I saw her first time, after five years, she had that same innocent face I fell in love with. My heart still beats like that. But when I think about her betrayal.Why… why does she have to do this? why??? I asked this a million times to myself. But got no answer.I was getting ready in my room for my marriage while emerging my thoughts. Then someone patted my shoulder.Surprised, I looked back and said “Dad, when did you come in? I didn’t notice?”“You would if you were there mentally. What were you thinking so deeply?” my father asked.“Nothing, just work-related stuff.” I lied.My father nodded his head. A clear indication that he didn’t believe a word.“don’t think too much. Today is your marriage. Be cheerful.” He patted me on the shoulder like the friend he is.“Ohh… I came here to give you this.” he handed me a box. When I opened i
Point of View: KaranSoon, I reached my office building. I got up from the car and looked at the building for a moment.When I first started my business, my office was in the smallest area of this building, and now I am the owner of his building.Sometimes, I liked to look at this building for some time. It made me realize what I had achieved in the past few years.I sighed and sat in the car. The driver drove the car into the underground garage. I got down from the car and walk toward the VIP elevator.Once I reached my office, I saw Raunak there. Raunak’s and mine offices are on the same floor.As soon as you enter the office, there will be a big mahogany desk with a rotating big chair on the other side of the table which faces the door, and three chairs opposite it. Behind the big chair, there is a floor-to-ceiling French window that overlooks the whole city.On the right side of the entrance, there is a lounge where I rest sometimes whenever I work overtime, and on the other side,
Point Of View: KaranWhen I reached there, knocked on the door before entering the room. my father was sitting behind the desk reading some documents. After giving me the reign of his business, he was enjoying his retirement, but his decisions still counted as he is not only the chairman but he had much more experience which he shared with us from time to time.When I entered, he closed the document he was reading.“Close the door”. he spoke. I did as he told me.After that, he motioned me to sit on the couch, and then he came there. He had a serious expression on his face.He sat on the single sofa and sighed.“Dad, what happens?” I asked as he sat. I know for sure that whatever is bothering him is not related to work. He knows that all projects are doing well and he also had some investments which were doing well. So, it must be related to something.He looked at me. he was contemplating something.“Karan, remember five years ago when…?” I cut him off.I knew he was about to talk abo
Point of View: KaranWhen I came down from my room to the main hall. I saw my sister and cousins talking and laughing. I looked around but did not see Amayra anywhere.“Looking for something bro?” Krisha said to me. I looked at her. something is up with the way she and my cousins were looking at me. I raised my brow and sat on one of the sofas. Although I have my own doubts and unanswered questions, I did not want to spoil their fun. So I played along.“Do you want me looking for something or someone?” I asked while relaxing on the sofa. This is again going to be a money game. I am sure she must have hidden Amayra somewhere and surely will ask for money or something.I was right. Soon after I said this. her face changed lightly.“Bro, don’t you need to go somewhere with someone?” she hinted at me.I looked at her faking puzzlement on my face. “Do I? I do not know about this. I came here just to spend some time with my sweet sisters.” When I finished speaking my sister and cousins were
Point Of View: Amayra“We Need To Talk”. It was the first sentence he had said to me after our wedding. I tried to free my wrist from his grip.“What do you need to say? Whatever it is save it, I don’t want to listen.” I said hatefully to him. I started to try harder to free my wrist but his grip tightened. Then his next words surprised me.“Why do you hate me, Amayra?” I forgot my whole struggle and looked at him as if I was looking at a fool. ‘Why do I hate him? Don’t he know?’ I thought in my mind.“What mind games are you playing Karan?” I asked while I had stopped struggling, for now, to see what he will see.“No games Amayra. I just want to know.” He said with tenderness in his voice and the look I had seen in his eyes after so many years. the look of longing and love.I was lost for a moment. Then I came to my senses and said “Karan, whatever you want to do and whatever mind game are you trying to play with me. I am not going to fall for it again”. The moment I finished speakin
Point of View: AmayraI was still looking at the pictures more than observing them when Karan came to me after finishing his call.“What are you looking at so attentively”. He asked while sitting beside me. his arm brushed with mine when he sat. I felt something but not disgust. It was the feeling I had long buried in my heart but never forgotten. I think Karan felt it too because I saw him go stiff for a moment before adjusting himself on the sofa.I also came to my senses. Then I remembered important stuff in my hand and looked at him.“Karan, I want to tell you that these pictures are not fake.” I saw the expression on his face change drastically after listening to me. he stood up from the sofa and grabbed me by the arm before jerking me up to stand up.“What do you mean? You actually cheated…” I interrupted him mid-sentence.“Karan, you told me to talk. Then let’s talk. But keep our minds cool. We can’t talk if we will behave like this. something very big happened to us and we need
Point Of View: KaranI was startled when I heard this. I turned to look at Raunak who was standing at the door. I squinted my eyes at him and asked him. “What do you mean?”Raunak sighed and entered the lobby. He stood in front of us where we both were.“You heard me right, Karan. Purvi had a boyfriend. But no one knew about it. Amayra knew this because she accompanied Purvi to the hospital for her abortion.” He told me. I was dumbfounded by what I heard. It means Amayra was telling the truth.I looked at her. She was looking at me then she looked at Raunak and asked. “Raunak, thank you for the clarification” Then she again looked at me. more than glaring at me.Then she continued asking him “At that time Purvi didn’t tell me about her boyfriend. By any chance do you know about him she told me that he is some kind of elite who threatened her to abort the child and not to tell anyone”.“What!!!” I exclaimed. I widened my eyes even Raunak was taken aback. Then he sighed and rubbed his t
Point Of View: AmayraI looked at Karan when he threatened the doctor. She was trembling when he told her that he would report her if she didn’t speak. She nodded and started to speak. But before she could speak anything, Karan took the gun from the back and put it on the table.I looked at the gun wide-eyed and then at Karan. When he had the gun with him. He was with me from the time he entered the room till there. So that means, this f**king as**ole had this gun with him the whole time. He carried the gun with him while it was our first night together after marriage.I glared at him. If it is possible then I killed him many times in a row tonight while looking at him angrily. This man never failed to amaze me or say anger me. he might have sensed my gaze. Therefore, he turned to look at me. seeing that I am looking at him angrily he knew what I was thinking. He then looked at his gun and coughed twice.Raunak had no impression on his face as if he knew about this. “So, doctor if we
