*Third Person Pov*
“Is this why I have married you, Sebastian? That I should close my eyes whenever you step out of your limits with other women?” Revathi asked her husband in a low voice, but not raising it even though she wishs to as their Daughter is in the house.
“I was not stepping out of my limits at all. It was a casual flirting and it happens like that here. If you can’t understand, then I can’t say anything right.” Sebastian shouted as he didn’t think about anything else except the accusation.
“Do you know how everyone are laughing at me? Do you know how they already think me as nothing but an undeserving person in your life?” Revathi asked and this time she didn’t keep her voice low.
“You should have the courage to face them and how much time do you need to get used to all this. Every day the same words that I have left my parents for you and you don’t deserve that.” Sebastian uttered with frustration fisting his hands.
“I never said that.” Revathi shouted not accepting his accusation.
“Don’t tell me you never had that thought.” Sevastian retorted.
“All this is completely waste and we have been going in circles for the past six years. I think it is better to separate.” Sebastian added, making Revathi’s eyes mist, but she too know that it is the only situation.
“Yes! I will go back to my parents with my daughter and you can stay here.” Revathi stated to which her husband laughed.
“Do you really think I will send my daughter with you? You know that the welcome from your parents will not be good as per the orthodox customs of yours and they already hate you if anything with the phone call you made just a week back. I don’t want her to suffer in all this. If you want a divorce, then leave her near me or else just stay here without saying a word.” Sebastian presented two options which seemed to be a painful one no matter what she select.
“Ok! But she shouldn’t be hurt and I need access to her too.” She presented her own rules which he accepted immediately.
“Mom! Dad!” they heard a voice and turned to see their nearly five year old daughter standing near the stairs of a big mansion.
“Where are you going, Mom?” Neville asked her mother not knowing what is happening except that it is wrong.
“I need to go somewhere, Neville. I am going near my parents.” Her mom replied, but it didn’t mean anything to the little girl except that her Mom is leaving.
“But… I will come.” Neville asked nodding.
“No! I will come in between.” Her Mom assured her, but Neville didn’t like it and shook her head furiously in negative.
“I know you don’t understand, Nev. But we need to do this as we shouldn’t stay with the person who doesn’t deserve us.” Her father said something to her.
“Yes! If we stay with someone who doesn’t deserve us, then we will end up hurt more than we can bear. So, it is better to go away.” Her Mother uttered with an angry look at her father.
For the next few hours everything settled and everything buzzed, but Neville still didn’t understand what is happening and where to go and to whom.
“Take care of yourself, Neville. Don’t forget that I love you and we will talk soon and will also meet.” Her Mom assured before leaving the house and her Dad walked into his room with the same force.
All she knows is they are sad because they don’t deserve each other and she is feeling sad for the same reason.
She even wished they did deserved each other and then she could have been happy instead of sad with tears falling but no one to go near so that they could be brushed away.
In the end, she wiped them herself with her little hand and slowly sat on the floor before drifting off into sleep.
*Neville Pov*“What do you mean by what will we do about it? We are not going and that’s it. I can’t stay at any crowded place at all, with all the suffocation.” I heard my darling step mom commenting and darling is nothing but sarcasm.“But, Jennifer! He is my cousin and we can’t skip his son’s marriage right?” I heard my Dad’s voice making me roll my eyes and immediately walked near to the dining table.“Good morning!” I said before dropping myself in a chair before switching on some song in my ipod to escape these people’s talks.“Nev!” I heard a shout and removed my earphones to see both of them looking at me.“What is it?” I asked frowning.“My relative is going to get married.” Dad stated.“So?” I asked him raising my eyebrow.“It is in India.” He continued not giving any heed to my words.“And?” I asked disturbing him not caring as he doesn’t seem to be doing the same.“And the bride is your Mom’s daughter.” Hearing his reply I couldn’t say a single word but just sat in stillne
*Neville Pov*"Sis, I need your car." I glanced up from my laptop to see her walking inside my room and settling on the bed."Did you got your license?" I asked continuing to do my work."Yes! I just go it last week and I am not a kid anymore. I am eighteen." she replied rolling her eyes."Here! I don't want a scratch either on car or on you. If it is then I will talk Dad out of buying you a new one until one year." I warned her."He is my Dad too and we will see whose words he will hear." she said smirking."Just be careful at least about your self." I said shaking my head."Thank you, Big sis." she said grinning and rushed out of the room.I am really her big sister! I thought frowning and then felt why am I not that close to her at all.Oh! I remember that my step-mom didn't want my influence on her daughter's I don't have any manners.What manners should I have presented when he suddenly brought her home saying she is my new mom and she is already pregnant?And the timing was just
*Neville Pov*“Perfect!” I mumbled after throwing my bag into the car I have parked under my window yesterday night.“Now, have to wait for the show.” I muttered and settled on the bed glancing at the clock.“Hello!” I said, lifting the call and waited for the message.“Thanks for everything, Sir.” I said, hanging up and took a deep breath.After half an hour, I heard a car entering the parking lot. I smirked and started counting the seconds and heard my name being shouted within ten seconds.I stood and walked outside my room before climbing down the stairs and reached the living area where my Dad and Jennifer along with Kate and John staring at me.“This is it!” I whispered to myself.“What is it?” I asked, staring at them with a blank expression and folded my arms.“You removed me from my job.” John shouted, making everyone else flinch.“Did I now?” I asked, frowning and then shook my head.“What reason did I gave?” I asked innocently.“That I am not efficient.” He replied, glaring
*Neville Pov*Everyone moved away from the door hearing the sound and turned back to see the reason for it while I too glanced inside to see who made such a noise.Why these three are not moving? I thought, frowning when I couldn’t see a thing inside the house.“Move!” I said, pushing myself between them and with a lot of effort stepped before them.“I am not used to suspense.” I said when they gave shock sounds.I placed the bag on the floor before looking at the whole inside of the house and then my eyes fell on some woman standing a little near to us with some utensils on the ground before her legs.Narrowing my eyes, I stared at the woman who is looking back at me with shock covering her face.I gasped before taking a step back realizing she is my Mom. Am I sure? I thought and then nodded to myself because she definitely is.Except the Saree she is covered with and the long hair instead of short, everything is same as per the photo I hid in my room.“Mom!” I whispered and she step
*Neville Pov*I groaned walking all around the room another time before sitting on the small bed present in the room.There is no air conditioner and then the room is too small along with the bed. There is so much dust too.And to top of all these, I am hungry. I rubbed my stomach and stood up immediately. I am their guest and I can just ask them without suffering the hunger while sitting here.“Anybody here?” I asked climbing down the stairs and then looked around until I smelt something from one side of the house.“This is kitchen?” I asked myself before walking towards that direction.“I am hungry and I need something to eat.” I said entering the kitchen only to stop in my tracks looking at my Mom near the stove.“This early?” I heard a voice and turned to see Kalyani Aunty coming inside the kitchen from another door and I can see some trees from that door.“Yeah! I even skipped breakfast thinking I would eat something Indian reaching here.” I replied shrugging and walked towards t
*Neville Pov*“What is it, Step-Aunt?” I asked her frowning when she stood before the main door folding her arms herself.“You said a bad word to me and I need you to leave this house right now.” She stated glaring at me.“What happened, Kalyani?” we heard an old voice and turned to see the same old man I saw shouting while walking towards the road.“Your grand daughter just insulted me, Uncle.” Aunt replied and I stared at the person in shock before realizing he is my grandfather.“She is not my granddaughter.” He said, coughing and walked back into his small house after staring at me with so much anger which actually surprised me.I sighed, knowing well I don’t have any patience to go and bear his indifference when I don’t even know him. And he doesn’t know me to hate me like this.“See? He was fine with his daughter in a normal way until you came to this house. Now, he will stay away from his daughter because they again can think now about the mistake your Mom did.” She said shaki
*Neville Pov*“Bhabhi! What are you doing here?” I frowned in my sleep hearing the words and half opened my eyes whether there is really my step-aunt in the room or am I dreaming about her.God! Please don’t let it be a dream. I mean, how can I dream about her? I thought and felt twisting inside my stomach.“I just want to look at her properly, Kalyani.” I heard a small voice and stilled without releasing a breath.Mom! I thought immediately knowing well that voice belongs to her. She wants to see me properly? I thought and felt happy.“You know you can’t be near her. You promised your Dad and Bhai that you will never have contact with her.” Aunt said and I immediately wished I can get up right this moment.Then I would cover that Aunt with my blanket and roll her in it before leaving her at some place and then I may be able to be with Mom.“I… know! But…” Mom started saying and was again stopped by someone who is not a surprise here.This Aunt is the main villain in my story and I ca
*Neville Pov*“Why are you coming with us?” Lakshmi asked the moment we walked out of the house.“Because I want to.” I replied, shrugging and left her hand but not his.“She wants to meet Dileep alone and that too alone. But our family will not accept for it so it seems like I am being with them, but I will be a little far from them.” Yash explained.“I know about that. I actually understood with her eye signal to you.” I said, assuring him.“Then why are you coming with us? Now I have to introduce you to him and miss a few minutes of our meeting.” Lakshmi said glaring at me.“We both too need some alone moments right, even know we just returned to the house I can’t get enough of him.” I said staring at Lakshmi while Yash still in his face.I burst out laughing, staring at their both faces and we finally reached the park with the both of them completely silent.“Dileep!” Lakshmi shouted and rushed towards him as that guy is standing leaning on a tree.“How are you, Lakshmi?” he asked
The darkness surrounds him from all the sides, but she brought a tiny light with her which cleared the haze. And then that haze brought him the memory of his past actions which pushed him away from her.After clearing his past actions, the darkness again swept him and she again became a light which cleared each and every inch of it. However, it was decided he needed to pay for his past actions and this time she was pushed away from him.Now is there any end of the haze that is blocking his happiness or is it going to be present forever? Her choice between his past and present may have an answer to that question.9years for harsha during her illness and seperationFirst meeting-he is blank and second time he comes out of it slowly but at the end remembers his family and sends her back… then his remarriage and divorce and spends the time time away from each other but goes to meet his ex and returns free of guilt and to start a life with her…*Nicole POV*“A wife?” I asked the people be
*Neville Pov* I slowly stepped into the house praying that no one will be near the living room and I can easily escape to my room. “Neville! What happened to your leg?” I heard a loud voice and I closed my eyes groaning. “Just a small accident at the construction site.” I mumbled, turning around to reply to my Mother-in-law, and found everyone are sitting along with Lakshmi. “Small accident? The bandage is too big.” She said and I slowly walked near to her, hoping they will not drag it too much. “I am not that much in pain.” I mumbled, sitting beside Yash, and saw him opening his mouth to say something to me but got beat by everyone. “You were walking so uncomfortable and we all can see how much pain you are feeling.” Mom said, sitting on my other side while Step-dad sit before along with Uncle and Lakshmi and my MIL. “It must have healed a little too, as it was in the morning right.” I said, trying to console them but closed my eyes realizing my mistake. “Morning? And you have
*Yash Pov*“Yash! Do you have the keys?” Uncle asked, bringing me out of my thoughts and I glanced at him to see that we are standing near our home door.“No!” I replied and again looked away at the wall.“I remember you only locking the door when we left.” I heard Mom’s voice and I again tuned out everyone’s conversation.“Don’t worry, Yash.” Revu said, holding my hand.“You must be feeling sad, right?” I asked without looking at her.“I didn’t think she will leave, but I can understand her anger against me.” She replied making me frown.“But what did I do?” I asked turning towards her.“Just a small mistake which I didn’t know that it was a big matter to her as I don’t even know her past properly. And whose mistake was that I don’t know about it? How can she give me this much punishment? What else should I do?” I asked, feeling all the anger coming out.“You can start with calming down as my grandparents are sleeping.” I heard a voice which made me frown along with Revu.We both t
*Neville Pov*“What?” I finally asked, giving up the task of ignoring her silent look.“I am not understanding your behavior.” She simply said making me frown.“What do you mean by that?” I asked, turning around from the mirror with complete confusion.“Today morning when I woke up, I saw you both sleeping on the floor hugging each other.” She started saying and I sighed.“I hope you averted your eyes when you saw that.” I said to which she glared at me.“And then when you woke up, you made him leave the house without giving any clue regarding whether everything is okay between you both or not.” She added ignoring my words.“And?” I asked, taking my bag.“And I am wondering whether you are planning something to surprise him along with giving him your decision.” She replied folding her arms.“My decision is that I am coming with you.” I said walking towards the door.“What? But why?” I heard her scream and turned to see her face covered with shock.“Because it is my decision.” I simply
*Neville Pov*“What is going on?” I asked Nic frowning, but she just got the creepy grin like yesterday when I told her everything seemed so creepy.“And you can stop with that look. I just said the word once and you need not show it everyday.” I added to which she laughed and moved away from the dining table.“Oh my god!” I mumbled staring at the food or I should say feast.“Who the hell…” I stopped my question turning towards her.“What are they trying to show?” I asked feeling the anger raising inside.“Love?” she replied like a question making me glare at her.I turned to leave but stopped in my tracks hearing her next words. I closed my eyes tightly before turning towards her.“Yes! He prepared your favorite dish and you can open your eyes. It doesn’t seemed to be bad in any way other than a few modifications which are needed by this dish.” She said and I slowly opened my eyes only too cover my mouth.“Don’t laugh, Nev! He must have worked so hard for it. How much effort he took
*Neville Pov*“My head is aching.” I mumbled groaning at the pounding happening in my head and sat up only to fall back feeling tired.“My head is aching.” This time I shouted and immediately held my head, feeling the pounding increasing in another level.“Then drink this.” I heard Nic’s voice and slowly opened my eyes to see her walking near my bed.“Thank you!” I mumbled and drank whatever she gave which turns out to be water making me frown.“When did water started reducing hangovers?” I asked frowning.“If you add this to that.” She replied, placing a tablet in my arm.I took it and gulped the water before putting the glass aside. I squinted my eyes with the headache and saw that she is in a very sad mood.“What happened to you?” I asked her frowning.“I just got ditched even when I tried to flirt. You know how difficult it is flirt, but he just ditched.” She replied in a shocked tone.I closed my eyes, remembering what happened yesterday night. I groaned and then repeated her wor
*Harsha Pov*I walked inside the house still in the thoughts which didn't stop from the second Neville gave her own mind."Yash!" I heard shouts and looked up to see him rushing down the stairs ignoring the shouts from his Parents."Where are you going?" I asked when he reached the main door which I am blocking."What is happening?" We heard a new voice and turned to see Revathi's parents standing with a frown."Is she in your house? I thought I would talk to her properly when she takes some rest. Please tell me she is with you." Yash pleaded them without giving me any chance to reply to them."No!" Uncle said simply and I can see Yash stiffening."I will go." He said and again tried to walk out, but I stopped him again."She got inside the flight and it took off too." I said to which he glared at me."Did you go with her to be sure whether she really left or not?" Yash asked and I smiled at his words which I know are the second time I am hearing within a few hours."Did you?" I heard
*Neville Pov*"Nev! I am so sorry, Nev. How are you feeling now?" I heard his voice the moment I stepped inside the house from Grandy's in the evening."And where were you? I have been searching everywhere for you." He added and I just kept silent, continuing my walk towards the dining hall."Nev! Please say something." He literally shouted, holding my shoulders and I immediately pushed him away."Nev!" He whispered with a shocked tone and again tried to hold me, but I turned around with a blank face."I said I am sorry, right. I was really in a hurry and want to return soon to give you a good news." He started saying and I listened calmly."She was being watched to check whether she is meeting me or not by a guy who got appointed by her parents. Now, she thought of some past information which she can use to make him stop his activities and then I need not meet her." He continued but paused staring at me."Say something, Nev." He said, staring at me and turned back, which I followed t
*Neville Pov*“Deep fry all of these.” She ordered yet again and I just stared at the quantity of Roti’s made from dough which seems to be enough for the whole lane.“Why to deep fry these, Aunt? Can’t we just do them like normal without much oil?” I asked, to which she as usual glared whenever I gave a suggestion.“It’s been nearly one month since I have been trying to teach you, but still you didn’t learn a thing.” She said and I stared at her with shock.“You taught me? When did that happen? Was I sleeping?” I asked, feeling tired like from the past week and not in the mood for her lies.“When will you learn to talk with respect to the elders?” she asked with tired voice but I didn’t back down.“When I get that in return.” I replied, to which she again glared before turning on the stove.“In half an hour everyone will be down for breakfast and I need them ready.” She said before walking away and I sighed walked near to the stove.What is going on in my life? I should be sitting in
