"No" I answered without hesitation.
"You sure?" She asked again.
I nodded my head and shoved food into my mouth.
"I think he has some interest in you." I chocked all my food and coughed a little when I heard what she said.
"What do you mean? No way!!" I raised both my hand in the air.
"I don't think. He was looking at you the whole time when he had given a speech."
"Juliet!! If someone is staring at you for a second, that doesn't mean they have fallen for you."
"Then what about the earlier incident? He has personally invited you to the meeting. If he wants he can tell me to inform you, but he didn't."
"So?"
"So, he wants to see you and came with a lame excuse, saying about the meeting." she shrugged her shoulder. Then she squeezed my hand.
"R
"So tell me, Mrs. Kean. How it could be Karan's fault when he hadn't touched the strand of that boy's hair?" Kayish questioned using his good authority tone that made Mrs. Kean goes nervous. She was sweating profusely and fidgeting her finger as not able to answer his questions. "You know what? You are wasting my time unnecessarily calling me here while he hadn't committed any mistakes." Then he eyed me accusingly. "Like mother like daughter." He muttered under his breath, somehow I managed to hear what he said. "Mr. Miller, Don't accuse my child, it was just an accident. Well.. If your nephew hadn't come between Sweety and that poor boy, they wouldn't have in this situation." I fight against him. "Please both of you calm down, now you two are behaving like children." Mrs. Kean begged us to stop killing each other. When I was about to
"You Whore! You cheater! You bloody slut!" He became to call me by name like he is a certified gentleman. "Let me go!!!" I yelled through gritted teeth. "I will but I need an explanation for this before I consider to-," he said, his piercing baby blue eyes boring into mine. I know what is he looking for and I don't ever give him what he wants. "I don't need to answer any of your filthy questions. So it's better to take your hands off me." I gritted my teeth. If he thinks he can rule me as how he wants then I will feed him his own dash. "Tell. Me."He tightened his grip leaving me no option from screaming. "Shut up you bitch!!" He proclaimed anger roared through his voice, a vein popped up on his neck. I gulped down. Past life memories flood through my mind that made me cringe internally and I surrendered myself to him. "When you got
~~~Past Wind~~~ "I am not sure Riya. I'm totally confused by thinking about whether should I go or not? I am not ready to face them." Kayish put his face between his palms. "Kayish, she is your sister and you love her more than anyone. Right?" I asked rubbing his back in a comforting zone. He nodded his head like a child and chewed his inner cheeks. He seemed nervous. "If you don't go to the marriage, what will happen?" I inquired grabbing the handful of popcorn before shoved it into my mouth. Right now, I am in his apartment watching horror movies even though I'm afraid of these bloodsuckers. But who cares when his hand was hooking around my shoulder keeping my fear on the bay. "Then she will disown me." He blankly stated without any emotions. "Are you okay with that?" I asked turning around to look at him.
"Okay, submit them on my table, I will take care of this," I said rubbing my jaw thinking to solve the puzzle. "But Miss. Kader..." "It's okay Mr. Kane, we did our best. So don't be sorry." I gave him a polite nod to dismiss. He gave me a small smile and set the file on my table before walking out of my office. I mentally groaned and picked the file from the table. After checking the entire file, I walked into his office and set the file on his table. "Already?" He raised his brow surprisingly as not believing his own eyes. "We have finished half of the work and will complete the remaining papers by tomorrow." I boldly said to him. "Miss Kader, I am not paying you for free and didn't ask any of your opinion or complaints. If I give some work that means you must have to finish them in time," he said harshly.
~~~Past Wind~~~ He is caring for me like I'm one of the small feathers that needed to care for often or else it would break. He acts like my life guardian; not in my entire life, my parents showed me these kinds of love. Sometimes, they called me slut or other names that I can't even imagine in my dream. I don't know why they hate me this much. Most of the weekend, I spend my time with him in his apartment. He makes me forget my world and drags me into his colourful world. I have boundaries in my world but he has no limit. He taught me how to live and made me alive by his motivation. Before he enters my life, I was like a zombie who has no spiritual life but after he came, my world has changed and colourful flowers blossomed in my garden, making my life worth living. I don't know how I would survive without him. In my world, he and
~~~Past Wind~~~ "Hi, Rachel!" Kayish waved at his sister. He was chatting with her through Skype on his Laptop. He used to call his sister every day and this is the first time I'm joining him because he asked me to do. "You must be Riya, right?" Rachel asked turning her gaze towards me. I gulped down and nodded my head slowly. "Owwww! So cute!! I really like her, she is so shy." Rachel commented and hearing her statement my cheeks turned into a shade of beetroot red. Kayish laughed richly and pulled me closer to him. We are in his bed lying on our stomach - facing the laptop which is placed on the bed in front of us. "You don't know her! Once you get to know about her, you will swallow your words." He teased. "Kayish!" I buried my face on his broad shoulder out of embarrassment. "You are not helping," I whined
~~~Past Wind~~~ "How are you feeling now?" Claire asked me handing me a glass of juice and took a seat near me. I badly wanted a tea but as you know I am allergic to coffee, I can't take the risk. There is a chance to misplace coffee instead of tea. Then for sure, I will die. And the pain—it will be unbearable. So I never dare to take the risk. If I had in my home, I would have made tea for myself and have relaxed a bit in my comfy bed because I won't trust anyone except me. But my bad luck, I am on my way to college. "Not bad Claire but My head is still pounding. I don't know when it is going to stop." I whined like a child rubbing the spot where I felt the throbbing pain. "If you don't mind, I will make tea for you." She asked feeling guilty. "No way Claire!!" Immediately I got alarmed. "I still remember what you did in high schoo
When I reached my classroom, I saw all my classmates were standing in front of my class. What's going on there? I murmured to myself and walked further. There standing my handsome boyfriend with his glory. "Kayish! What are you doing here? What did you do this time?" I asked surprisingly. "Shhh!!" He placed a finger on my lips. "Let me explain." He said in a hushed tone. Grabbing a small red velvet box from his pocket, he kneeled in front of me making my eyes go wide. I heard a lot of whispers from the students but my focus was mainly on him. Before I realize what is he doing, he opened the box and took the ring in his hand. I closed my mouth with my hands, the ring is beautiful. It looks simple yet elegant. A small white coloured diamond was shinning from the top adding more beauty to the ring. "Riya! I know this is too early, but
"You look beautiful." Mom Daisy whispered looking at me with teary eyes. "Mom, you are spoiling my makeup." I blinked my tears back. Today is the most important day of my life. I'm going to marry him once again, but the difference is my dad is here for walking me to the aisle and my relatives are gathering here for giving us a blessing we needed in our life. Kayish rushed the marriage saying he wants to marry me before the baby is coming and I wanted to get married before my baby bump shows up and finally the day has arrived. I'm dressed up in a simple white gown that hugged my body perfectly especially casing my slightly showing baby bump. Truth to be told Kayish chose one of the expensive mermaid gowns for me but I neglected his selection and selected this elegant one. Lorean Casey, the most famous makeup artist did something magic to my face making me
"Come on, let's eat." Claire jumped in front of us and dragged me away from my Romeo. We went to the patio where the mouthwatering food is being served. I filled my plate with grilled Turkey, buffalo wings, mac, and cheese, crispy potato, Nuggets, and grabbed a glass of chocolate milk. Claire eyed my plates weirdly. "Girl, look at your plate." Ignoring her nasty comment, I walked away and took the place where Mom Daisy is feeding Sweety. "Hi, mom." I greeted and started to eat my meal. It took 30 minutes to empty my plates. "Riya, go and talk to them." Mom Daisy Nudged my shoulder gesturing me to talk to Kayish's mother. I didn't get the chance to engage in the proper conversation with her in my entire life. "But mom I-" I suppressed my lips. "No but." She narrowed her eyes at me. "Don't be mad at me, I'm goin
"Kayish where are you taking me?" I asked but he kept pushing me forward, my eyes were blindfolded by the black ribbon beside I could hear the angelic giggle from my devilish daughter who knows where he is taking me and is taking advantage of this whole situation teasing me along with her dad. If it had happened to her she would have beat me a lot of questions by asking 'Mommy! where are we? Mommy! Have we reached? Mommy! How long does it take to reach? Mommy!-' until she gets the answer. "Be patience my girl." He whispered in my ears, his warm breath caressed my neck lovingly sending me goosebumps to my stomach. "We are almost reached." He unwrapped the ribbon from my eyes letting me see the beautiful views of a big house, besides all my loving people, are smiling ear to ear by welcoming me in their warm embrace. "T-this this-" I trailed off, my brain refused to function.
"Kayish, we have an important meeting with our client Mr. Laurence Kavin. Do you remember?" I asked him while packing Sweety's lunch in her Tiffin box. "Yes! I remember." He replied standing in front of the mirror trying to fix his necktie. "Give it to me." I grabbed the tie from his hand and began to cross the wide end under the narrow end, while the tie hung inside out around his neck. "You smell amazing!" He pulled me towards his chest by my waist. "You are distracting me." I punched his chest, but he didn't flinch rather enjoyed teasing me more. I tightened the knot by pulling the wide end and adjusted the knot to the center of his shirt's collar. "Now, go Mr. Miller." I pushed his chest. "Where is my morning Kiss." He asked touching his lips seductively. "Okay!" I gave him a small peck on his lips and ran towards the living room. "Hey, it's not a kis
"But how it happened? Aren't you with her, Mark!" Kayish’s panicked voice sent an alarm to my mind.What's now? I groaned in frustration and opened my eyes. He is standing near the door talking with someone on the phone. I took the alarm clock from the nightstand; it showed past 4 in the morning. If it had anything related to his business, I won't hesitate to throw him from my apartment. Seriously, his business is not important than my precious sleep, I hardly slept last night. I let out a defeated sigh and sat on the bed having a stern look on my face. And yes! whatever you are thinking is right, he is going to stay with me in my apartment. He didn’t even bother to invite me to his penthouse, not that I'm wanted but at least for the sake of formalities he can ask me whether I'm wished to go with him or not, instead he said he has planned something for me and when I asked about what was that, he simply gave me an anno
"Stay inside the car, I will bring her." Kayish kissed my forehead before climbing out of the car to pick Sweety from her school. We are on the way to the hospital to take our first ultrasound. "Okay." I nodded my head and glanced outside the window where he was walking towards the campus. Ten minutes later, I saw both father and daughter are hugging each other while walking towards the car that put a smile on my face instantly. What a beautiful view!! "You got an amazing dad." I rubbed my stomach unconsciously. Kayish opened the door and placed Sweety on the back seat then joked to get inside the driver’s seat. "Mommy!" Sweety wrapped her hand around my neck from behind and kissed my lips. "Hey, baby." I rubbed her hair. "I want to sit here." She pointed to my lap, most probably she wanted to sit on the passenger seat. "Ahh--" How
Recap: Oh, God! He is real!! Happiness overwhelmed my heart and I broke into tears whispering the three words that popped into my mind, "You are here." "You are here!" I screamed and ran towards him. In a swift motion, I jumped into his arms and buried my teary face on the crook of his neck. I seriously don't care what I'm doing but I want him to be alive. That one nightmare is enough for me to let go of my ego. I wrapped my legs around his torso while my hands found his neck then I started to sob like a kid. He didn't expect the outburst from me, but he caught me on time in his big arms pinning my body against his well-built chest. "You are here." I whimpered clutching him tightly. "I thought I lost you." I wiped the tears that were running through my eyes like an Angel falls. ~~~~~~ His grip on my wa
I jerked from the couch where I fell asleep without my knowledge and the book, I was holding in my hand landed on the floor three feet away from me. For a second everything went blank. The heartbeat in my rib cage raised heavily as it had attended a 10 km marathon. Oh god!! It was a horrible dream that I never ever had in my entire life neither did I wish. How awful that was!!! I stared at the floor where he had laid in the pool of his own blood in my dream with so much emotion flooding through my heart. It felt real. I wiped the sweat on my forehead using the hem of my shirt and walked towards the kitchen to get a glass of water to let go of my anxiety. I took the water bottle from the fridge and gulped down a large amount of water in one shot. Why did I have that horrible dream? I didn't hate him that much, yet he came into my dream, and-- I can't even
"I need your happiness. If you think he will bring everything back to normal in your life then who I'm to object your decision. I'm always with your side." He gave me a weak smile somehow, he is not happy with the idea of giving Kayish a chance. I nodded my head as a response not knowing what to say. Am I really ready to give him a chance? It's very hard to make a decision. "So, when you are going to get married?" I asked changing the topic. Claire's face flushed into red by the mention of marriage whilst Draco groaned playfully. "If your friend says okay, I'm ready to give a ring to her finger right now." He teased eyeing her the whole time. "Draco." She hit his shoulder playfully and hid her face on his back. For a moment I adored this beautiful duo in front of me but our sweet moments were interrupted by my lovely daughter. "Mommy!! Help." Sweety ran t
