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: AmayraThe very next day, I woke up a little late because I had slept late. But no one mind it at all as all youngsters had slept late. So, it was exceptional for all of us.I was a little nervous as it was my first day in my law’s house. Krisha might have seen my nervousness. So, she immediately got ready and went downstairs with me.Karan’s mother was sitting on the sofa talking to some elders whereas his father had been reading the newspaper.When I reached there I greet all of them.“Amayra, come sit here”. My mother-in-law patted the seat next to her on the sofa. I went there and sat down.“How was your sleep?” she asked lovingly.“I slept well and I am sorry I woke up late. I…” I was saying when she interrupted.“You don’t have to say sorry. You and Krisha are the same to me.” I looked at Krisha who was looking at me smiling.“And sleeping late today is understandable. You were tired and didn’t even take a short night since yesterday morning. So, tiredness was obv
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: 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
