*Arthi Pov*

I got ready as soon as I can even though it is just 7am. Today it is very important day for me as I am going to give my first presentation to an important client.

I got downstairs and heard the door bell. I opened the door to see Shushant arrived correctly on time.

“Hey! I am almost ready. Just wait for two minutes I will go and bring my bag.” Saying this I started going near my bag on the couch.

“The meeting is cancelled for today Arthi.” He said following me.

“What?” I asked him shocked because I was not expecting that.

“Yeah! We have to go next week. I know you will be disappointed that’s why I came here to inform you directly.” He said flopping himself on the couch.

I sighed and sat infront of him saying “No! I am not disappointed but I was just nervous from yesterday thinking about my presentation.”

“How dare you to feel nervous when you are working for me for the past one year?” He asked glaring at me. I couldn’t help but laugh and he followed my su

    *Sushant Pov*“Really? I can’t believe this.” I said to Arthi on the phone.“Yeah! He actually went to Kolkata to meet Pia. And then he got to know that she has a boy friend so now he accepted to marry any girl Dad and Mom chose for him.” Arthi said in one breath.“I am worried for him as he didn’t look like he is happy at all. I don’t want to do anything stupid again so I called you.” She added when I didn’t say anything.“Don’t worry! I will talk to him.” I said but there was smile evident on my face.After that lying incident she is staying away completely from all these. If she wants to do anything she just asks me and I am very happy to be her guide.She is sweet one and loves everyone near her. She is even talented as she proved in my company. I am asking her everytime to go a join in her brother’s company but she is not listening to me.After hanging up I drifted off into sleep as I need to talk to him before he does anything stupid.Next day I went to his house and entered his

    *Pia Pov*I entered the company talking to our sponsor with Nikki following me. Immediately when I put the step inside mostly everyone went silent and there are some hushed whispers.When we got inside the elevator I didn’t missed the glares from everyone. I rolled my eyes and continued to talk. While Nikki chuckled from beside me.“Yeah! We are completely ready for tomorrow’s show. There will be no mistakes and everyone will love our work. We assure you.” After talking to him I hanged up and glared at the phone.“We need to have a immediate talk with Mr.Prakash.” I said pressing the top floor button.“Poor him!” Nikki said and I turned to see her controlling her laugh.“I am sure you will enjoy the show Nikki.” I said and stepped out of the elevator when the doors opened.I opened the door of his cabin but not before knocking on it. He looked up hearing the sound of closing door and smiled at us.“Pia! Come on sit down. We need to discuss about tomorrow’s show.”

    *Arthi Pov*I looked at the Moon leaning against the car door. I remember the times when we all friends just sit and gaze at it.Pia just used to say something every time we sat like that. But these three years surely changed everything in everybody’s life. Mainly this year is far worse than the before years.Will it be back to normal in any near future? I asked myself and I really don’t have any answer for that question.I turned towards my right side to see my Fiancée driving the car in full concentration. I smiled remembering the way he proposed to me two months back. I never thought he can be so angry and also beat someone like that.When my Mom started to search for grooms for my marriage, he started to talk very little to me and that too only about the company.I met so many but I never felt even a little to think about them. But two months back when I met one he started to misbehave with me. I don’t know from where Sushant came but he just came and beat the hell out of that guy

    *Pia Pov*The moment we stepped our foot in Arthi’s house, they dragged both Arthi and Sush for some ritual called ‘Sakhar Puda’. The few girls and boys who seem to be the relatives of both of them kept on saying that name.It is nothing but an informal marking of an engagement by giving a sari and sweets or a packet of sugar to the bride by Sush’s mother but in Marathi style.“I guess they are not going to make them even take a breath from today.” Nikki said looking at them wide eyed.“Yeah! Let’s go to my house and there is a surprise for you.” I said and we were about to step out.But out of nowhere Aunty came and hugged us both that too very weakly. After releasing us she said “You both just forgot all of us. It took you three years to come here right.”“Aunty! We were just busy. Now we are here right.” I said smiling a little.“Are you fine Pia?” She asked frowning.“I am fine.” I immediately replied and then observed her to see she became so thin and there are dare circles below

    *Pia Pov*“Hey Arthi!” I said shaking her which I am doing for the past ten minutes. I looked at Nikki to see she is getting ready.It’s 1am and Arthi needs to wake up now otherwise she will get late in getting ready properly.Finally she groaned and opened her eyes. We all just got very few hours sleep and I still don’t know why did they selected this time to get these both married.She went inside the wash room to get ready and then the makeup artist came even at this time of hour. Finally Arthi is ready completely and we all went near the venue together which is quiet near to our houses.After few minutes the groom reached the venue but before he could step inside ‘Seemaan puja’ is conducted in which bride’s parents wash the groom’s feet and shower him with gifts.Sush face was priceless when this all is happening. But I saw that Aunty is kind of in pain when she was bending.“What happened Aunty?” I asked her.“I am fine Pia. Don’t worry!” She replied smiling.I helped her to stan

    *Pia Pov*“We will meet soon right? I can meet you when I come to Mumbai right?” Suma asked when a cab stopped infront of us.“Ofcourse! We can meet but in Kolkata as I will return there after few days.” I replied.She nodded and I got inside the cab. When it started to move I waved at her and she waved back smiling. I leaned against the window feeling good that I came here.That day I got angry because I allowed the pain to consume me. It shouldn’t happen again so I tried my best to put up another wall which will make sure that I will not get affected by anything.No matter what happens that will not break and I will make sure of it. With all these thoughts I didn’t saw that the cab has stopped infront of my house.I got down seeing many cars parked near the both houses. I frowned but paid the cab and went inside carrying my bag.I saw Arthi sitting with my Mom and everyone are wearing white color dresses. What is Arthi doing here?“Arthi! What are you doing here? You should be in Pa

    *Pia Pov*“Are you both angry at me?” I asked Mom and Dad when I entered our house and we are standing in the living room.“Angry! No we are not. But worry! Yes we are worried for you.” Dad said and I can see the frown on his face.“Dad! I know but the baby…” I started to say but Mom cut me off by shaking her head.“We know Pia. We know that this is the best for the baby but what about you. We know the family and we even know Aman. They are good people but we can’t ignore the fact that he was already married and you are going to be his second wife.” She said and I immediately flinched.Seeing this my Dad immediately said “What are we trying to say is that are you really sure about this. That’s it!”Am I? I asked myself again and again. I guess I am ok with this.“There is whole night to decide. Just think about this again dear.” Mom said and they both left to go inside their room bidding ‘Good night’“Let’s go!” Nikki said and dragged me inside my room.“First just sleep Pia. Think ab

    *Aman Pov*“Angel!” I heard her saying to the baby.“You are my little angel.” Saying this she moved from the bed a little and then laid down switching off the lights.I continued to snore a little and finally when I heard her even breathing I opened my eyes. I released a breath and turned towards her. It is very difficult to act like you are sleeping mainly with that fake snore.She is as usual looking perfect sleeping with tiny little snore. I moved a little closer to her but not too much because she may freak out if she saw me near her.She is my wife! I never thought this miracle would have happened but it did. But it is not good thing that she sacrificed her life and married a widower.When I left for my office today morning I saw her leaving the house and that just means that she heard everything. As far as I know her I am sure she will come to that court and marry me just to prove me wrong.I wish there was something which I had done to stop it but when she talked about becomin

    *After two Years**Pia Pov*I got up from my seat only to hear three voices asking the same question. Oh god! Please save me from this sweet torture.“Are you ok?” This is the question asked by Aman, Sush and surprisingly Kalyan.“I am fine guys. If you ask me that question again I will elope with Anjali.” I replied glaring at them.“Mama!” Anjali who is none other than Angel said who clutched herself to me because of new faces around her.“Yeah! You will come with Mama Right?” I asked her smiling.She nodded and placed her head on my shoulder. I turned around only to see three panic faces looking at me.“Why are you guys so terrified for me? I am pregnant and not ill.” I asked rolling my eyes.“Because you are my wife!” Aman replied.“Because you are my sister!” Sush replied.“Because you are my daughter!” Kalyan replied making us all look at him with eye brows raised.“What? That reply is very good and better than theirs right.” He said looking at our expressions.“Go and call your

    *Pia Pov*Ok! I am ready and where is he? I asked in my mind. But as usual there is no reply.I called him again and he didn’t lift it again. This is weekend right? So that means did he stayed in someone’s house and drinking?I stirred the kheer so that it will be tastier. Then I heard the footsteps towards his room. When did he come?I face palmed myself and immediately took the Kheer in small bowl. Then I covered myself and walked towards his room.I turned the knob but it is not opening at all. I waited for few minutes and then I got a call from Mom.“Mom?” I asked her confused lifting my phone.“Hello Pia! Why didn’t you told Aman that Angel is going to stay with us? He was totally surprised.” She said in scolding tone.“I didn’t get the chance Mom. Did he come there?” I asked her slowly.“Yeah! He just left few minutes back.” She replied. I bid my ‘bye’ and hanged up the phone.I heard the shower door closing. I knocked on the door but he still didn’t open it. I knocked harder th

    *Aman Pov*I woke up hearing the cries from Angel. I got up and went near her to see that it is already past 9am. I lifted her and rocked her so that she can fall asleep again.But looks like she has other plans because she stopped crying and didn’t fall asleep at all. So I took her near Pia and lay down. I played with her fingers and she played with mine.“Let’s wake up your Mom ok.” I whispered and she smiled making me kiss her head.“Pia! Pia! Wake up!” I said placing my face on her shoulder.“Hmm..” she mumbled but didn’t wake up.“Pia! Angel is asking for you.” I said smiling.“Why does she always ask for me when she is near you?” She asked opening her eyes and smiling.“I don’t know! Maybe she doesn’t like me that much.” I replied shrugging.“Liar!” she said hitting my shoulder.“See Angel your Mom is calling me a liar.” I said with shock on my face.“Mom!” Pia mumbled and placed her hand on Angel cheek.“You are her Mom Pia and there is no change in that. You love her more than

    *Pia Pov*“I know there are so many things that need to be told by you but I never asked you because I thought you will say them by yourself.” I said sitting on the bed and he followed my suit.“Yeah! There are but just promise me that you will not be angry on anyone.” He said looking at me.“I can’t promise you that now just tell me. What do you mean by Angel is not your daughter? And before that please tell me your wife name.” I asked him frowning.“Sheela! That is her name and yes Angel is really not mine.” He replied.“She was three months pregnant by the time I married her.” He added shaking his head.“When did you got to know about that?” I asked him calmly.“Immediately after the wedding! She told me directly that she is pregnant.” He replied.“Oh!” that’s all I said because what else should I tell him.“Her parents knew about that but they made her marry me.” He said when I didn’t ask him anything.“Who is the father?” I asked him slowly.“I don’t know about him properly but I

    *Pia Pov*“Guys! Don’t drag me like this.” I shouted at Dinesh and Rajeev. As for Sush he is holding Angel carefully.I looked at Nikki and Priya to see them dragging Aman to their side. “Don’t touch his fingers they are burned.”“Don’t worry! We will take care of him.” Suma said teasingly and I just rolled my eyes.“Ok! Now Pia is in our team and Aman is in yours. Let’s start the decoration.” Sush said looking at Arthi.“Isn’t it should be girls versus boys?” I asked them confused.“Yeah! But here we are trying to prove that you are the best and they will try to prove that Aman is the best.” Rajeev replied.“I will not participate.” I said moving away.“Please! We will do anything.” Rajeev said pleading.“Ok! I am actually inviting all our parents but I don’t have address for Aman’s In-Law’s house. So you must go and bring them tomorrow.” I said looking at him.“What? Why should we invite them?” Dinesh asked frowning.“Because they are real grandparents of Angel.” I replied in ‘Duh’

    *Aman Pov*I actually thought we are moving forward but hearing her words just made one thing clear. That it may not happen anytime soon.I can understand that she is terrified but I never thought she will pretend just to make sure I am close to Angel. I am happy about one thing that because of all these I got close to that baby.But it just hurts a little to know the girl I love actually doesn’t even like me. I wanted to move away from this room but she is not letting me at all.Then suddenly she pulled me by my collar and pressed her lips. I just froze in that moment. Pia continued to press her lips but I didn’t move at all.“I know you are angry at me but kiss me back.” She mumbled on my lips and placed her both hands around my neck.And that’s when I moved my lips along with her as she is doing. She tugged me even more near her making me press her between me and the door.Placing my hands on her waist tightly I kissed her back following her direction. Few seconds later we stopped

    *Pia Pov*“Girlfriend! I can’t find my tie.” He shouted from the living room while I am packing his lunch.“Well if you search it in your clothes and not in the living room then I am sure you can find it.” I shouted back.“I am very busy Girlfriend.” He shouted back.“And do I look like I am sitting here without any work?” I asked him walking towards him holding the carriage.He was just pacing around holding Angel in his hands. This few days really changed him completely. He is happy if I put it in the right words. As for Angel she is more than happy.He is taking care of her midnight cries too because of which I am able to sleep more properly. I still remember our friends shocked faces when they looked at him while he was smiling slightly holding Angel.“You will get late for the flight Boyfriend.” I said walking near him.“I don’t want to go!” he said sighing.“Well you must and it’s just a week. I am sure you will be fine. I packed some food for all of you so that you guys will no

    *Pia Pov*I groaned because of the alarm blazing beside me. I tried to move so that I can switch it off but I just couldn’t move.I opened my eyes to see him partially on me with his head still resting on my heartbeat. I shook him for few minutes and then he finally opened his eyes but just a little.“Wake up! My ears are hurting.” I said to make him open his eyes completely.“What do you mean?” he asked yawning.I pointed him the alarm and then he understood. I thought he will move away so that I can off it but he just moved over me and did it by himself.And then placed himself on me after doing it. He just looked at me and I too did the same. I felt little uncomfortable the way he is making me feel but I masked them with straight face.“What are you doing?” I asked him frowning.“Nothing!” he replied and moved forward near my face.With my free hand I pinched his hand making him move away little and I immediately got up from the bed.“Why do you keep pinching me?” he asked rubbing

    *Pia Pov*“What?” We all asked him shocked.“Yeah! I know it is stupid but I just thought it is good thing to do.” He replied stepping back and then I saw that we all are stepping towards him.“Pia! Take this and attack him.” Kalyan said giving me the stick.I took it and walked towards him and he just ran from there. I followed him and started to hit him whenever I get near to him.“Guys! You helped that Ajay then why are you letting her attack me?” He asked shouting as they are little far.“He is nothing to us. But you are our friend and you actually did a stupid thing.” Sush replied shouting.We both like this ran around the garden and they all just laughed at us. Finally we stopped when we came near them.After catching my breath, when he was also doing the same I asked “Why did you do that?”“I didn’t know that these all happened between you two. I just saw you looking at Tv yesterday frowning and also your yesterday night speech. Because of them I thought you will be happy to se
