Point of View: AmayraI woke with a spitting headache and sore neck.I looked around and saw that I am still in the hospital. The weather outside was good but it was dusk by now.I checked the time. We were here for about three hours.I stood up and ran towards the doctor’s office.I knocked and opened the door after getting permission.“Hello doctor, I am Amayra. I came here with my friend Purvi. Is the operation done? Where is she”? I asked feeling nauseous.My heart was beating hard in my chest as something wrong happened.“She is good, the operation took only half an hour. She is resting now. She may go home by now”. The doctor informed me.After getting her room number, I thanked the doctor and went toward the room where Purvi was resting.As soon as I opened the door, I saw Purvi standing beside the bed, in her home clothes instead of the hospital gown.“Purvi” I called out for her. She turned around and I walked toward her and take her hand in mine. Her face seemed paler.“Purv
Point of View: AmayraI had seen exactly the same earring in Monica’s ear that I had seen at Karan’s place.That cannot be possible. I was looking at her earring dumbfounded.“Why are you looking at me like this”? she asked harshly, taking me out of my trance.After regaining my sense, I asked her“Where did you get that earring”?She scoffed and spoke“What… Never seen that expensive earring”.All were busy with their business, so they didn’t pay attention to us.“Tell me”. I asked sternly this time.She rolled her eyes and said“Well, Dad got me this on my last birthday”.“And where is the other one”? I askedShe shrugged her shoulders before speaking“I had dropped somewhere when I was busy doing… you know”.She trailed off and then winked at me.My heart dropped. ‘No this can’t be. Karan will never hurt me like this.’ I thought.“You are lying”. I voiced out.She gave a light mocking smile and turned to look at me again“Do you remember what I said to you at the club before leavin
Point of View: AmayraThe next day, after classes I was going back to my room. when I received a text message from an unknown number.It said :‘if you want to know who really Karan is, then come to the ‘Eternity’ club, private room no – 005 at 7 in the evening’.I was confused. Who could send me this message?I was afraid that it can be a trap like last time.At that time, Karan saved me luckily. But what if, no one saves me this time.?I called Karan immediately, but he didn’t pick up my call.I was standing at the side of the road, hesitating whether to go or not when suddenly someone put a hand on my shoulder.I was startled.When I turned around, it was Purvi. She looked at me confused with my sudden startle.So she asked “What happens? Why are you looking so anxious?”Then she looked at my mobile which I was looking at a while ago in a daze.She took it from my hand and I gave it without any protest.When she read the text, her eyes widened.“What is the meaning of this message?
Point of View: AmayraIt was a man’s voice.“Oh Monica, you are so good. Much better than Amayra. She doesn’t know any of these tricks of pleasing.But you are awesome.” The man stated.I was stunned. It was Karan’s voice.Maybe Purvi also heard it. because in the next moment, she held my hand and looked at me with wide eyes.I looked at her with teras-filled eyes. She shook her hand and gestured for me to keep quiet and listen.I nodded and the next thing I listened to was the giggling of Monica and then her voice.“So why are you with her “?There was a momentary silence before he spoke.“Because she is the flavor of the month. I was actually going to dump her a month ago.but I got caught up with this project. My stupid friends and employees couldn’t do a single thing correctly.Which made me not play with her enough”.I was beyond furious after listening to this. I was about to push open the door and enter when a firm grip on my hand stopped me.When I turned around, then I was st
Point of View: AmayraI stopped at the side of the road, where almost no one was. I stood there, bawling my eyes out.After some time, Purvi and Danish came running toward me. they stopped in front of me, panting heavily.Purvi immediately hugged me and I cried hysterically on her shoulder.She patted my back to soothe me. after a while, I stopped crying. they both stood there in silence only my hiccups can be heard.After a while, Danish spoke. “I am sorry Amayra. I never wanted to see this. I …”“Shut up, just shut up. Aren’t you his friend? What are you doing here? Make sure that your friend’s latest toy has broken completely or not?”Purvi yelled at Danish.Danish bowed his head and took a deep sigh“Purvi, Amayra, that’s not what it seems. I and Raunak may be seen as friends by others but in reality, he treated us and his employees worse than a slave.He always flaunts his wealth which was given to him by his dad.”“Isn’t he self-made?” I asked almost in a whisper.“Self-made!!!
Point of View: Amayra‘Today is the day I am going to make my move. I will go to his apartment, take the file and give it to the Danish. Simple.’ I thought.But still, it felt so unreal. The uneasiness I was feeling since yesterday hasn’t subsided yet.I had decided to take my revenge on him, but I didn’t decide what will I do after that. I can’t go on with my college life and pretend that nothing had happened.I was emotionally weak almost broke at that time.I was thinking when Purvi put her hand on my shoulder making me come out of my trance.“Are you sure, you want to do this? if you are not feeling good then Danish will take care of the file. You just tell him where he keeps his files in his study.” She said.I shook my head and spokeIt’s not that I don’t want anyone else to do this. but I need to do this. because of the way he played with my feelings, I need to do this to make myself a little better.”I patted her hand and then went towards the door.I was about to open the doo
Point of View: AmayraFive Years Later: Present TimeI jerked awake from my sleep. What happened five years ago is still fresh in my mind.The slap I got from him still gives me stinging pain in my cheeks and more than in my heart.I left that place after that day and continue my studies from home more like distance studies.My parents ask me about my decision but I could not get the courage to tell them anything and made some random excuse that they believed.But after many years, not only meeting him but marrying him, opened wounds in my heart and started to bleed again. Those memories from five years ago now had become my nightmare.Although I had woken up early in the morning because of my nightmares, there is still hustle and bustle in my house as it is marriage day.Today, we are going to marry. If it was five years ago then I would have been on nine clouds. But now, I am not even simply happy.Mayra and Purvi were settled with their family in different rooms, but they slept wit
Point of View: AmayraKaran’s house, I mean my in-laws, where I was going to live from now on, was about forty-five distance.I was already a mess when I left my parent’s house. On the way, when I wanted to clean my face. I couldn’t find my purse.Now, where I had put it? I couldn’t move excessively. As I was sitting between Karan and his younger sister Krisha.Maybe she was tired so she had dozed off with the support of the window. And Karan, I will rather look like a ghost bride than talk to him a single word.But these dried tears on my cheeks started to itch. So, I was left with no choice but to ask Karan about my purse.But when I looked at him. He was already looking at me with my purse in his hand. Nothing can be more awkward than this.He handed me my purse. I said thanks to him before taking my purse and getting my hanky from it.I was wiping the tears from my cheeks when a hand suddenly grabbed my hand. I looked up and I saw Karan was holding my hand, taking my hanky.I frown
Point of View: Karan Two years Later: “Amayra…. Amayra…. I think our baby girl needs to feed”. I called for my dear wife from our children's room. Amayra was busy with Krisha who was having a hard time during pregnancy. Yeah.. you heard right. Our Children. After that incident with Krisha, Amayra started to work as my secretary as we decided and also learn managing skills from Krisha. She was so good at it that she started to do things on her own within two months. After that, she also started to manage the IT company I opened for it. Mind it, I only open the company. more like, I invested in the company. but Amayra was the one whose hard work and dedication reached this company at the highest t peak in the IT industry. When she took charge of the company, we come to know that we are going to be parents after six months. I wanted her to take a rest as I will take care of the company. but she was too persistent to agree. So we came to an agreement that a private helper who was ex
Point of View: KrishaWhen I saw Dad and Mom at the restaurant, I was so afraid that I didn’t react for a whole minute.“Mom Dad… “Brother spoke, making me come out of the daze.“Not a single word, Karan”. Dad spoke sternly. He was looking very angry. He came inside and looked at him.“I would never know anything if I wouldn’t come before time. Thank God, that the cruise trip was over before the given time and we returned home.I thought I to give you all a surprise. But here, I got the surprise of my life”.Then he turned to me and his gaze soften a little. He spoke softly. “Krisha… You also didn’t tell me anything”. I could see a little hurt in his eyes. I immediately went to him and hugged him dearly.“I missed you, Dad”. I spoke while hugging him. I hugged him like a little child. therefore, my head was on his tummy which is a little big but not too much. I felt him soften with my hug. He patted my head and hugged me back.“I missed you too”. I smiled knowing very well that I decr
Point of View: Raunak“Danish and Mayra. These were their names”. Alia who was silent till now spoke.I was stunned for a moment. I can't believe that they planned this big. I composed myself and asked.“How can we believe that you both are telling the truth”. I asked although I know that they are telling the truth. I just didn’t know who was the person behind them. But now.“I have proof”. Alia spoke.“When they came to meet us and told us about their plan, I know it is a big game and if we got exposed then we will be implicated badly and maybe they both will not help us. So, I started to record every meeting afterward.I have saved those recordings in my personal cloud space. I can show you now from my phone”. I looked at my bodyguard who had her phone. He gave it to me and I to her.She unlocked it with her finger and opened the folder where these videos were saved.She played a video and turned the screen toward us. and the voice came out.“Everything is ready. You both know what
Point of View: RaunakI heard everything whatever they talked about in the room. I felt my blood boiling when Saket’s mother talked about women and how they need to be at home and kind of just be a breeder of their husbands and she told Krisha to do the same.When I saw the person I was waiting for and didn’t wait for anything and barged into the room directly saying.“So, why not we ask Krisha here and now to transfer her company to Saket“Mr. Sehgal, what are you doing here?” Saket asked while looking at me warily. I smirked and went inside and sat on the single sofa which was a little away from Krishna’s.“I had my meeting here. It finished early. So; I came here as I know everyone is here”. then I paused for a moment and spoke again.“Mr. Aggarwal, you won't mind if I call my guests here? will you?” Saket and his mother frowned. Displeased with the uninvited guest. As if, I give a D*mn. While Karan and Amayra know whom I am going to call and Krisha knew as well. and without waitin
Point of View: KrishaSaket was calling me. I picked up the call before it got disconnected.“Hello”.“Krisha, where are you?” Saket asked from the other side. I frowned and looked at Raunak who was also looking at me with a frown on his face, unhappy with the interruption in our little moment and that interruption was Saket made him frown more.“What happened? Is everything O.K.?” I asked in confusion.“Yes, Actually, I wanted to bring you for a dinner so, I went to your office. but you had already left. So, I decided to call you to know where are you. so that, I can pick you up from there”. he spoke.“I am sorry, Saket. But I am at my old house with my brother and sister-in-law. We were having dinner and we have some plans after that”. I told him a half-truth.“Are you only with your brother and sister-in-law?” he suddenly asked.I looked at Raunak who had listened to the voice from the other side as the volume was at its highest. We both were confused by his sudden question.“Why d
Point Of View: KrishaThe next morning, I went to the company. I saw Saket in my office.“Saket!!! Why are you here in early so morning?” I asked in surprise.He got up from the chair and came to me. he was about to kiss my forehead when I avoided him. He looked at me frowning.“I have applied makeup today. I don’t want to ruin it”. I said smiling. he looked at me and nodded his head.“I was thinking why are you looking different? Now I know”. He said smiling.I walk to my chair while he sat opposite me and asked. “What is the reason for the makeup today?”I rarely wear makeup. I usually apply makeup on special occasions.I shrugged my shoulders before replying. “Nothing special, I stayed with my brother and Amy Bhabhi last night. She wanted me to be her makeup acquaintance this morning. Rest is in front of you”. I say pointing at my face.He laughed and shook his head.“Anyway, why are you here so early? Is there related to the production?” I asked changing the topic.“No, actually,
Point of View: KrishaI literally wanted to smash the coffee cups one by one on her head. She confessed to him like a pure innocent girl and acted like a shy and meek girl as if no one knows about her.I know… I know… it was my idea to invite her to coffee. So that, we could find out more about her and her hidden partner who was helping her in the dark. But still, I got jealous when another woman confesses to Raunak.Now, I know Raunak must have felt miserable when he saw Saket proposing to me, and above all of it, I agreed. I could understand the anguish he must have felt whenever he saw Saket with me.I felt guilty for him. My one wrong decision had impacted many lives. Raunak saw me as he spoke.“Krisha, place coffee here. I will call Amayra and Karan. They are enjoying the view from the balcony”.I placed the coffee on the table while stopping him. “Don’t disturb them. Although they have returned from their honeymoon. They are still in their honeymoon mode. I drop a message on Amy
Point of View: RaunakI don’t want to sound jealous but I had never liked Saket. It was like he is a too sweet and innocent type of man even though he is in the business line.But what can I do? According to Krisha’s wishes, we have to do minimum damage to his heart. She doesn’t want to hurt him much when we told him the truth.But right now, all I want to do is to cut his hands and shoved into his mouth through the very lips which kissed Krisha’s forehead. I balled my fists to control my anger as I don’t want to beat him to a pulp and hurt Krisha’s feelings.I left from there and went to Karan’s car as I didn’t bring my car. Moreover, we need to talk. All Of Us.Karan and Amayra were getting cozy with each other by the time I reached there. they were too engrossed with each other that they didn’t notice me reaching there. I cleared my throat to gain their attention. Amayra pushed slightly Karan away as she was caught stealing.Her face was a little embarrassed while Karan had a scowl
Point of View: KrishaMy eyes widen as soon as I entered the car. The windows are tainted black. Which is unable anyone to see from the outside but the people inside can see outside. Therefore, she was surprised when she saw Raunak sitting inside as well.“Don’t be so shocked. I called him here. Let’s sit and then we will talk”. Karan’s voice sounded from behind. I hastily sat down. After me, Amy Bhabhi and Karan entered. The partition was up. so, only it was only four of us while the driver was driving the car to its destination.“Speak!!!”. Karan spoke after a moment of silence.“What brother”. I gave him my most innocent sweet smile. I heard Amy Bhabhi sigh as she nudged me with her elbow.I looked at her and she mouthed me. “He is angry”. I looked at Karan who was looking at his wife with a soft gaze and if I am not wrong there was a small smile on the corner of his lips.I instantly had an idea. I looked at Raunak who was looking at me with the same gaze which made me blush in add
