Shivansh's pov" I love Ranvijay," Those three words again rang inside my head.I threw away the alcohol glass on the floor. The glass shattered into tiny pieces just the way my heart was shattered. I loved her truly giving my all affection to her but still, she chose to betray me. I still remember that day when Ma and Lily showed me Niyati's sex video with that man. I never found out who was that fucker and Niyati always denied that she slept with another person.I didn't want to believe that Niyati could do something like that but when I checked the video, it was real. It wasn't any manipulation nor it was edited. After that day, I lost my trust in women and an immense amount of hate increased inside my heart for Niyati. " Then, why are you jealous?" My subconscious asked me. I replied annoyingly," I don't know. I just can't see her with another man. She is my first love."" You still love her but remember one thing that she has moved on," My subconscious again reminded me and m
The Next DayAuthor's povNiyati was sitting in her cabin checking some files which Shivansh ordered her to check. She was engrossed in her work because she doesn't want Shivansh to taunt her and make the situation worse. She just wants to behave with him casually. Suddenly, she noticed some errors in the files and decided to ask Shivansh about them. She could easily correct them but still, she thought to ask him first. Without thinking anything further she went to Shivansh's office room and knocked there. " May I come in, Sir?" She asked politely but there was no response. She knocked multiple times but still, there was no response. She thought that he might be in his restroom. So, she decided to wait for some time. Minutes passed and there was still no response. Getting bored she decided to enter without knocking further. She twisted the doorknob and entered. Her eyes widened and her mouth hung open seeing the scenery in front of her. She blinked her eyes a few times to under
Niyati's povSitting on my easy chair I tried to relax but failed miserably. My whole mind was occupied by Shiv. His shameless acts kept repeating inside my head making my heart bleed. How can he humiliate me like that? Seeing his behaviour I doubt his love. He never loved me. If he loved me even for once then he wouldn't be doing such shameful acts with another woman in front of me. Tears stung my eyes remembering him but somehow I controlled them. " Just act normal in front of him. You have no connection with him anymore so you shouldn't be bothered by his actions," my subconscious suggested. I sighed. She is right. I shouldn't give so much importance to him. Let him do whatever he wants to do in his life. He is just a closed chapter of mine. Nothing else. " Mommy," I heard Neela calling me. I noticed her standing in front of me with a hairbrush and a rubber bant in her hands. I also noticed her messy hair and sleepy eyes. " Mommy, make two ponytails in my hair. Daddy always b
Niyati's pov" Don't worry, Ranvijay. I will be in the house just in 10 minutes," I informed Ranvijay over the phone who was angry beyond level after hearing that I worked extra hours. Well, I worked extra hours to have some extra money. Neela's birthday is coming and my little angel will turn 4 very soon. I just wanted to through a party for her with my own money. That's why I am working extra hours. He replied almost shouting," Have you gone mad? It's 11:30 p.m. and you haven't reached home yet!! Just wait for me wherever you are. I am coming to pick you up or I will send the driver. It's not safe for you to be outside at this hour. Violence against women is increasing in our country every day. So, think before you say anything."I can sense the concern in his voice for me. Sometimes he becomes overly protective of me and Neela. Orni was lucky that she had a husband like him. I am also Ranvijay's wife but we don't share that kind of relationship. We are like friends and obviously
The Next DayShivansh's povI was sitting inside my car looking at Niyati's house. I was eagerly waiting for her to come out so that I could have a glimpse of her. Last night she was hurt and I just wanted to know if she was fine or not. I gave her a day off and here I am. I started missing her already. With every passing time, I was becoming weaker for her. I tried to move on but I couldn't. No matter what I can't forget her. I hired that gold digger to pretend as my girlfriend but I became bored with her soon. So, I told her to stay away from me and never contact me again. If I ask Niyati to start afresh again, will she accept? Will she give a chance to our relationship? I know she cheated on me and I should hate her only. But, I can't. I was still looking at Niyati's house when I noticed that Niyati's daughter Neela was playing in the garden with a boy. He must be her friend. The boy was looking 2/3 years elder than Neela. A smile formed on my lips seeing that little doll. She
Shivansh's pov" Is she my daughter?" I asked Niyati looking into Neela's eyes because my gut feeling was saying that Niyati was hiding something. Those innocent eyes were looking at me and crying nonstop. I felt like someone was stabbing my heart with a knife seeing that baby crying. I felt so protective over this baby which I never felt before. I felt a deep connection with the baby girl. I know Niyati wasn't pregnant when I divorced her but still who knows? Hearing me, Niyati turned towards me and I again saw the same fear in her eyes. She became stiff for some time hearing me. She is behaving like I am here to snatch Neela from her. She tightened her hold on Neela and came forward. " What rubbish you are talking about? She is Ranvijay and my daughter," She told me furiously. I asked her tilting my head," Oh really!! Then, do you have any explanation for why she looks like me and you instead of looking like Ranvijay and you? Tell me Niyati, what are you hiding?"Hearing my que
At NightNiyati's pov" You were working under him for weeks and you didn't feel the importance of informing me about him!!!" Ranvijay shouted at me. I replied sighing," I am just his employee. Nothing else."" Enough of all this. You are leaving this job. You are not going to that man's office again. I earn very well and it's enough to bear your and Neela's expenses," He declared and gently laid down Neela on the bed who was sleeping peacefully on his shoulder. I replied exhaling," I am not going to leave this job."" Why is that?" Ranvijay asked me very coldly and I can feel the anger in his voice. I replied trying to make him understand," I can't be a burden on you Ranvijay. I have depended financially on you for almost 2 years. I just want to be a self-dependent woman. That's why I don't want to lose my job. Moreover, I have signed a 5-year agreement with the company where I have to serve the company for 5 years."" Is it the only reason that you don't want to leave this job or
Shivansh's pov" You are returning to Delhi right now. I am here to take you with me," Ma said sternly. I frowned my brows. I was more frustrated after hearing her. I am not leaving Pune so soon. I have to find out if Neela is my daughter or not. If she is my daughter then why didn't Niyati tell me about her pregnancy? Why did she hide my daughter from me?I forced a sarcastic smile on my face," Ma, am I a little kid that you are here to protect me from bullies?"" Shiv, it's not the time for joking. That girl has played with you enough. I don't want her in your life again. What if she wants to enter your life again?" She asked worriedly caressing my cheeks. This time I couldn't control my anger anymore and yelled loudly," What's wrong with you all? What do you think of me? I will let that woman enter my life again who has hurt my feelings, betrayed me and made me a laughing stock in front of everyone! Let me clear myself up again, I have nothing to do with Niyati anymore. Do you un
After another yearAuthor's povShivansh knocked at the door and a few moments later Orni opened it. He gave her a warm smile entering the room and she smiled back. " Where are your naughty kids?" He asked sitting on the bed. Orni answered giving him a glass of water," School. Before leaving they have broken my other favourite vase while fighting with each other."" Goodness! One day I will surely leave them in a WWE ring," Shivansh answered and Orni laughed loudly. Shivansh joined the laughter when his eyes fell on some papers which were on her bed. Taking the papers in his hands he looked at Orni with emotional eyes and she looked down. " You were again reading these reports!! How many times have I told you to not read all these?" Shivansh asked standing in front of her. Orni said controlling her tears," My death is near, bhaiya. Sooner or later I will die."" No, you won't. Stop talking rubbish. Nothing will happen to you until I am here," Shivansh assured pulling her into a t
After few monthsAuthor's pov" Lily and Yash Raichand are sentenced to death. The court is adjourned," The judge declared and Lily broke down into hysterical sobs. Shivansh looked at them with emotional eyes. Not with love. There was nothing but hatred in his eyes. He was fuming with rage and fisting his palm continuously. A few days ago, Lalita's trial was held too and she got the same punishment for her sins. Death. " Congratulations, Mr Raichand. You won the case," Shivansh's lawyer congratulated him forwarding his hands. Shivansh ignored the lawyer and rushed towards Lily and Yash who were dragged by the police. Lily was crying and begging to leave her where Yash was silent. Standing in front of Yash, Shivansh grabbed his collar and looked directly into his eyes with burning eyes. Shivansh clenched his jaw looking at Yash where he just looked down. Was he guilty of his misdeeds? No, he wasn't. He was cursing himself mentally for leaving Satya's dead body like that and for n
This outburst was needed for him. He needed to release his painful emotions which were eating up his soul. The constant heartbreak was butchering his soul constantly and he needed a shoulder to cry on. He needed a person to share his emotions and his pain. " Don't hold back your emotions. Cry as much as you want," Niyati cooed rubbing his back very gently. She tried to not cry but automatically her eyes welled up. Shivansh asked while his voice cracked" Why everything is happening with me, Niyati? Why one of another my loved ones are leaving me? I lost my wife, my sister and now my father!! Just why?"" Shh......" Niyati again cooed in his ear but didn't find any words to console him properly. After that, nobody utters a single word. For a few moments, Shivansh only sobbed over Niyati's shoulder and she kept rubbing his back very gently. He tightened his hold around her and she let him do it. She didn't push him away nor she flinch. Suddenly, something clicked inside Shivansh's he
Author's povShivansh was standing in front of Satya's dead body like a robot. A police officer was asking him a lot of questions but Shivansh was just silent. There were no tears, no pain, no expression on his face. He was just speechless.He noticed his father lying in the pool of his own blood. A white cloth was covering his father's body which has turned red due to blood. Police surrounded the whole area and a forensic team was examining the whole place and Satya's body. Shivansh's eyes fell on Satya's hand and he went back to his childhood. He recalled how his father used to take him to school holding his tiny hands, he remembered how his father used to feed him with this hand and supported him always. Remembering those memories Shivansh couldn't control himself anymore. " Dad," screaming loudly he tried to rush towards Satya but two police constables stopped him. This time Shivansh couldn't control his outburst and started screaming & crying loudly. Tears started flowing from
Gathering all the courage inside him, he again requested desperately," We can't change the past but we can make the future better. I know that you still love me. You just have to acknowledge it and listen to your heart for once. Give me a last chance and let me redeem myself. I will even sacrifice myself for your sake, please."This time Niyati looked at him and found his hopeful eyes staring at her intensely. She just continued looking at him and he was waiting for a reply impatiently. After some time she broke the silence and ordered," Get.....Out."Shivansh didn't waste another second after hearing her. He just stood up and came out of her room silently. He again lost every hope and decided to not bother her anymore. Till now he has apologised uncountable times and she has rejected him uncountable times. He forwarded his legs towards his room when his phone started ringing. He saw the caller id and it was an unknown number. He thought to ignore it at first but thinking something
Author's pov" How many women you have kissed till now?" Niyati questioned furiously and Shivansh was still rooted in his place looking at her with perplexed eyes. After gathering his shocked state, he answered honestly," I have never kissed anyone except you."" Liar!" Niyati spat back and left the balcony hurriedly where Shivansh continued standing like a fool. Reaching another room, Niyati sat on the bed and closed her eyes feeling embarrassed. Due to frustration, she yelled and threw away the pillow on the floor. She started feeling utterly disgusted by herself. She felt like she has no self-respect anymore for letting him kiss her. Tears started flowing from her eyes and her muffled cries started echoing in the whole room. She mumbled placing one hand over her mouth," What I have done? How can I step so low!!"" I should control my emotions," Niyati thought mentally and again felt embarrassed for kissing him. She was still sobbing when she felt someone's presence in her room.
Satya finished his saying and an uncomfortable expression appeared on Niyati's face. She wasn't understanding what to say right now. So, she kept her mouth mum. On the other hand, Shivansh noticed his father and Niyati. He also heard his father and looking at Niyati's face he understood that she isn't comfortable. So, he stepped in. " Dad, please. Don't say anything to her. Don't force anything on her. I respect her decision and you should too," Shivansh told his father and Niyati looked at Shivansh's eyes. She again fell into a dilemma noticing Shivansh's truthfulness. Satya was going to say something when he started breathing heavily. His body started shaking slightly and Shivansh panicked noticing his father. Satya sat on the nearby sofa and Niyati forwarded a glass of water noticing his uneven breathing." Dad, are you ok?" Shivansh asked Satya with his panicked voice.Satya answered sipping the water," I am fine. Just tired a little bit. I think I should go now."" Dad, stay
After one yearAuthor's pov" Yes, decorate the whole place with balloons. Specifically with blue balloons because Neela like this colour," Niyati instructed someone over the phone. The other party said something when Niyati said," Yes, the cake should be chocolate flavour. Neela loves chocolates."Well, today is Neela's birthday. She has turned 4 today and her parents are throwing a birthday party for her. Specifically, this party is too important for Shivansh since it's the first time he is doing something exciting for his daughter. Shivansh is trying to make it grand as much as possible because he wants to make it memorable. He has been busy too much for the last few days regarding this party. " Mam, Shivansh sir has taken care of the other things. You don't have to worry," The decorator assured Niyati who was sounding worried regarding this party. Niyati didn't say anything further. She cut the call and sighed. She recalled Shivansh's excited face about this party and a smile f
Shivansh's pov" Hello, Advesh. What did you find?" I asked leaning a little on the balcony door.He replied," I have talked with his neighbours, colleagues and a few friends. Everyone said that he is a good person. I didn't find anything negative about him. Araav Tripathi is a reputable doctor."" Then, why did his wife divorce him?" I asked with curiosity. Advesh responded taking a breath," He found out that his wife was cheating behind his back. That's why he divorced her."Hearing his words, I recalled my situation when I thought that Niyati cheated on me. I doubted a pure person like her and messed up everything. What an asshole I was!" Are you sure that she cheated on him?" I asked hesitatingly and he answered that he is sure about it. After talking to him for some time, I cut the call and sat on the nearby couch. Resting my head on the headrest I closed my eyes and automatically Niyati's face reflected in front of me.You must be wondering why I am looking through Araav Trip
