Waking up to another beautiful morning, Amaya was excited about her coming trip to India for her internship. She yawned and jerked up from the bed, then she had a hot bath as the weather in newyork was very cold.
After bathing she came out of her room, running down the stairs she found Samir about to help himself out by boiling water. Amaya stumbles on her feet as she ran over.
"Come on Samir, what's wrong with you?" She asked Samir then she light up the gas and place the water on heat.
"What could I do, mum seemed to be very worried about something, and you were not yet awake." Samir raised his brows.
Amaya couldn't help but wonder why Vedika wasn't out already to help Samir like she always do. She was usually the first to wake up before everyone. But now she was inside and this made Amaya wondered why. She chuckled at Samir as she glances at the stairway.
Her heart was broken, her mind restless, she was scared now that her sister died, she couldn't come face to face with her for the past seven years, and now, she died. She wasn't able to plead for forgiveness now her sister died. She wasn't able to tell her sister how sorry she really is. She killed her sister, she gripped the bedcover, still laughing with Amaya but the guilt in her heart was killing her. As she smiled at her son she knew just how much going to India for her sister's burial was not possible. "Aunt, Aunt" Amaya called her. Only then did she erupted from her thoughts. "Yes Amaya" She smiled at her. "You don't have to smile, you just lost your sister, with how you've always been trying to know how she is I'm very sure you loved her so much. Cry all you want to, and if you want to shout, you can, we are here for you." She placed her hand on Vedika's.
"I don't think I can come to India." Vedika gripped her dress and tears rolled down her cheeks. She was devastated. "Rohit" She called on him because he was dead quiet. "Yes Aunt. I can hear you ma." Rohit voice became low, and Vedika noticed. She hated herself for not being able to tell him. She didn't wanted to loose him, they shared a good bond and Rohit was just like her own son. "I'm so sorry, some day you will thank me for me." She bursted into tears. She knew he wouldn't understood but deep down, if Rohit ever gets to know what had happened, she bet he would be grateful to her for not coming to his mother's burial The thought made Vedika angry, she never thought of all the complications before she betrayed her sister, her heart was in terrible pains and she kept tapping it. Then she hung up and didn't know what to do. She l
Vedika instantly became pissed off by the sight of Ben, she never expected Amaya father would want them back together. But before jumping in to conclusions, she walked down the stairs maybe, just maybe they were here for something else. As she approached she smiled at Amaya's father. "Mr Micheal." She greeted with a pleasant smile and they hugged. "How are you miss Vedika. I'm sorry I've not been coming to check on you guys." He pleaded. "There is no issue with that. You came with a guest." Vedika rolled her eyes at Ben. "Good morning Aunt." Ben greeted despite the malicious gaze of Vedika's. "Well, you aren't welcome." Vedika bluntly replied. Ben gulp his saliva and sat on the couch. He was stealing glances at Vedika It was the first time he met Vedika in person, He only knew about her. Seeing her right now made him uncomfor
Seeing the way Ben started shaking made Vedika excited, then a message popped in her phone and took it and saw it was a message from her mother. She instantly became sober and opened the message. "If you don't come here to your sisters wake, then I will have to come and drag you here." Tears rolled down her cheeks then she wiped it off instantly. She looked at Ben and ignored him. She was totally broken. She stood up and walked straight to her bedroom then she shut the door behind her. Amaya who's door was wide opened could swear she saw Vedika ran into her room. "What are you staring at?" Her father questioned her. "Dad, I won't get back together with Ben I won't." She rejected his plea. "Bit my child, why don't you get settled down, I need you to be settled so I can stop worrying about you." He kept on pleading with her.
Not much of his concern, bit Mr Micheal was just curious to know the reason behind Vedika's reason to be absent from her sister's wedding. He knocked on her door, and when she opened it, he could tell she had been crying. "What's wrong Vedika?" He asked her. He never liked to see Vedika crying, he hated it. He loved her so much but could never ever confessed his feelings for her. How could he fall for his wife's friend, so instead of confessing his feelings all these years he stayed away. He didn't want to disrespect his wife like that. His cheating almost ruined his relationship, but before his wife's death they had many happy memories together. He stopped cheating way before his wife died, and after her death he pledge his life to finding a suitable business man for his daughter. Vedika's beautiful eyes and long hair was the prettiest sight he had seen so far. He hadn't had much opportunity to
"You have to leave Micheal" Vedika said and turned her face sideways. She wanted nothing to do with him. Her respect for her late friend wouldn't even let her loose herself even though it wasn't wrong. "Sincerely you don't want this?" Micheal asked her, he squinted his eyes and leaned towards her much more closer trying to steal another kiss. But he was shocked when he saw that she pushed him away. "I'm really serious, you shouldn't be doing this, I'm your wife best friend." She questioned his morality. "My wife is dead. She've been dead for five years sincerely, this isn't a sin, we are adult so just be fine with it already. We ain't doing anything wrong." He screamed. She wasn't going to give in, not because she hated him or for morality sake, her heart was already stolen by her forbidden lover, giving in to Mr Micheal was not something she could do, except she do it without any emoti
As she walked downstairs, the sight of Ben infuriated her, she kept glaring at him till she got to his front. "What are you still doing here?" She glared at him "What do you mean by that, I've come here for you." Ben stood up and walked towards her. She scoffed nodding her head and fixed her gaze on him "You didn't come here for me, you fool, you came here for your ego." She cursed him. "Don't say than Ama, you know I love you so much." He held her hand but she shoved it off. "Don't you dare touch me." She squinted her eyes. "Where were you when I left Nigeria, if you were here for me, you'd be here like few months ago." She turned to walk away. But she felt his arms round her, he hugged her from behind. Amaya couldn't bring herself to contain the rage she was feeling, he didn't had any right to touch her, or even hug her. She was m
"Ben" Mr Micheal called out to him then he fixed his gaze on his daughter. "Why are you standing so far off my darling?" He stretched his hand towards her to tell her to come over. Without objecting Amaya walked towards her dad. "Hey dad, I'm sorry, I want to go upstairs." Amaya set to walk away but was held back by her dad. "Amaya, I want you to know, in life, sometimes we have to put up with things we don't like, it's just for our future, later you will thank me for this." He joined her hand together with Ben. "You guys are engaged again." He smiled as he stared at Amaya. Amaya couldn't believe her eyes, he father just forced her into Ben's hand. How her own father do this to her. Tears rolled down her cheeks, she tried to free herself from his grip but he held on tighter. "You guys need to talk more. Amaya you could start the discussion wi
Rai indeed moved out of the country with Rekha, they were expecting their first child. Rai kept his promise and never contacted rohit again. They were strangers now, the only thing they had was just Rekha, who gave him daily updates about rai. He appreciated it so much, he tried to get rai to talk to him, but he just ignores. He didn't even congratulate him. Rohit and Amaya was now married after months. They watched Sonia's food channel and Rohit was happy about the fact that Amaya gave Sonia that competition ticket months ago which she won and set up her own food channel and Sonia was now a celebrity chef. Sonia called amaya to apologize for her actions and wished her well in the marriage, she promised to keep in touch. Rohit kept looking at his phone, he is meant to have received a call now. Rekha was due today and they haven't heard a peep from both rai and Rekha. The whole squad was separated, off doing something with their lives, he was still get
Amaya decided that it was time to go and See Sonia, Sonia had been avoiding her since, she didn't know the reason and she was going to have to find out then tell Sonia about her plans, she hoped she was going to be happy for her, she knew that Sonia Didn't look like she had feelings for Rohit, it won't be bad if she talked to her and told what she was planning on doing, Amaya visited Sonia at the cafe and told her she will get married to Rohit, she knew that it was going to cause strife between her and Sonia, she already noticed that Sonia has been avoiding her, she didn't know why that was happening and she almost confronted her but she had not gotten time to do that, she wanted Sonia in her corner, she had always wanted to do business with Sonia because of how she thought and how business oriented she was, Amaya needed that kind of drive in her life and she was going to bank on Sonia teaching her how to that, she was going to apologize if it was going to make her think about what
Rai and Rahul decided to pay rohit a visit in the hospital, they needed to go check on their friend and see how he was doing. Rai knew he needed to talk to rohit about this whole thing. He may not be able to forgive his best friend for betraying him the second time, but this time he understands that it wasnt his fault. His two close friends who has been there for him, but there was angry with him, they just want to show their support to their friend, because he has helped them too when they were down. The heart choses who it wants, his heart wanted amaya but Amayas didnt want him. She loved him, but she rather be with rohit instead. The words Sonia muttered to him came ringing in his memory. She told him that all his women preferred his best friend over him, and that was something that bothered him. He needed to talk to rohit, and find out if he was doing this because he took rehka from him, he needed to make sure that he wasnt doing this out of
Rohit could not believe his ears, he hoped to God that amaya was kidding. She told rai about them. "Did you tell him about us sleeping together?" He asked her, She shook her head, "that never came up" she said. "Rai is never going to forgive me, he never will" rohit said in a sober tone. He wished he had discussed with him before doing such thing, but he knew it wasn't her fault. It was Sonias fault for pushing her to say the truth, when she obviously wanted to keep things private. He could only imagine the look on rai's face when he heard that his fiancé was in love with his best friend, it was nothing but heartbreak. Rohit wanted to tell rai how sorry he was but he has not been given the opportunity to do so. He didn't have access to his phone, and he was sure that rai has not tried to reach him He knows how stubborn he is, he would rather keep silent than voice out his anger. He has always been the type. He couldn't t
Rohit heart was beating fast he realized he really loved Amaya and was glad she didn't leave him alone. His stupid pride would have cost him the love of a great woman, he honestly cannot remember pushing someone that refuses to go away. He had to give it to amaya, the woman was very stubborn like a rash. He just realized that he has been pushing her away physically, but emotionally, his stubborn heart brought her closer than ever. He honestly didn't know why he would be feeling this way about amaya, he didn't get his connection with rai's women. It was like he lived to torture his boyfriend. If rai finds out that this happened again, that would be the end of their friendship. His heart has decided for him, he wanted to be with amaya, with or without rai's permission. He felt guilty but he couldn't continue to withhold his happiness because of rai. He was sorry that this happened, but he couldn't resist any longer. He was going to have to talk to rai. She love
Amaya still felt like something was wrong, nobody was telling her anything. Sharma was being tight lipped about the doctor's news. She was still confused, all she could do was sit there and stare into space. What did the doctor mean by Rohit would end up like his mother? Did he mean depressed or dead? She was so confused. She looked towards Mr. Sharma, he was staring blankly at the wall. He hasn't uttered a word since she asked the question, she believed that he was so worried about his son. Mr. Sharma was devastated and couldn't believe he was going to lose his son. He lost his wife to the same sickness, and now he was going to lose Rohit. He wondered why they didn't know that the disease could be inherited. It seems Rohit got it from the mother, they would have checked him since and started the treatment a long time ago. He didn't want to blame himself again, it seems that everything happening was his fault. If he had told Rohit the truth about his
Amaya didn't know where to start, rai looked heartbroken. She ordered a cup of coffee for the both of them, it was the least she could do for hurting him. She led him to a different table, he sat down waiting for her to speak. "I am so sorry, rai. I didn't want to find out like this" she apologized. "Why not?" Rai questioned her. "You were sure about your feelings when you told Sonia" he concluded. "Only because she pushed me, I didn't want to tell her, till I have spoken to you about it" she said. He nodded, sipping his coffee. "Why didn't you tell me that you were in love with rohit?" He asked her. "Because I wasn't sure, but the night of the engagement party. It became clearer to me." She explained. "That's why you were not into the kiss" rai nodded. "I am sorry" she apologized. "It seems that rohit has won again" rai said offhandedly. "What? Why would you say that?" Amaya demanded. He
They all stood in shock as they witnessed what was happening in front of them. Vedika opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out. Not a sound. She couldn't believe rohit was throwing them out. She knew he felt hurt, but not to the extent of throwing them out on the streets. "Rohit, why are you doing this?" Vedika asked him, her lips trembling. "You must really be crazy if you have to ask me that" rohit answered harshly. "Rohit!" Sharma intervened, "what is wrong with you, your aunty made a mistake" he scolded rohit. Rohit took a threatening step forward, his eyes growing colder. "Mistake?" He asked his father. "A mistake?" He asked again, his father stepped back seeing the look in his eyes. "You call what she did a mistake? Funny. Of course you would call it a mistake, you were in on it. You were there!" Rohit shouted at his father. Sharma stood taking it, because he was guilty. Amaya and vedika stood one side with Samir watching
Vedika was shocked and speechless. Mr. Sharma tried to stop Rohit from humiliating Vedika more but Rohit was very upset. Vedika begged Rohit for forgiveness but he insulted her asking why she had an affair with her sister's husband. "Tell me, did you want me to hear you out when you have been lying to me all this time?" He asked again when she kept mute. "Stay out of this" Rohit warned his father. He can't keep interfering, he has accepted that his father wasn't a good man, but vedika's actions came as a shock to him. "Rohit, please calm down" vedika pleaded. His eyes grew cold, "dont, and dont tell me to calm down. You didn't calm down when you went ahead to sleep with your sister's husband" Rohit said, his voice loud at the last part. "I trusted you, aunty vedika. I know my dad is an animal, but I didn't expect you to betray your sister the way you did, she was on her deathbed when I called you to ask if you knew who the mistress was
