"Ahil's daddy...! Ahil's daddy...!" she exclaimed, anxiously calling Mr. Agraj. After a couple of calls, he came out. "Shalini, what happened now?"As he inquired, he noticed the injuries on Ahil's forehead and hand, causing him to worry. "Ahil , did you drive without a driver again today?""No, Dad, it was just a minor accident... I mean, someone needed help, and I got injured while assisting."He was narrating the entire incident to his dad while his mom quickly fetched the first aid kit and started dressing his wounds. In her anger, she scolded him, "You've taken the responsibility of the whole world on your shoulders. Instead of always helping others, when will you find a life partner for yourself? I've told you countless times to get married, but will you fulfil my wish only after I'm gone?"Hearing the mention of dying, Ahil gently placed his hand on his mother's mouth and said, "No, Mom, never! I've already told you I don't want to get married, and I'll say the same today. Besi
The sight that greeted her eyes was unexpected – a woman, poised and polished, stood at her doorstep. Adorned in white jeans and a pristine shirt, the visitor exuded an air of affluence. Her long, colored hair, impeccably tied in a ponytail, framed a countenance that hinted at a life beyond the confines of Hiya's grayscale world.As the woman removed her dark glasses, revealing eyes that spoke of experiences and depth, she uttered words that hinted at a potential divergence from the mundane. "If it's not inconvenient, may I come in?"Stunned, Hiya found herself nodding in agreement. The stranger crossed the threshold, and Hiya, eager to extend hospitality, ushered her into the living room. The clash of two worlds, one subdued and colorless, the other vibrant and mysterious, unfolded as they embarked on an unexpected encounter. Hiya, in her simple act of offering water and arranging tea, unknowingly began a chapter that held the promise of change, injecting a splash of intrigue into he
As the conversation unfolded, the tension in the room intensified. Feeling the weight of their differing perspectives, Shalini's husband, spurred by his own convictions, declared his reservations about the proposed alliance. Shalini, fueled by empathy and a desire for positive change, stood firm in her belief that extending a helping hand to the girl in question would be an act of kindness and compassion. The clash of values within their home hinted at the complexities of societal expectations and individual aspirations, leaving the couple at a crossroads in their journey of understanding and compromise."Look, buddy, do whatever you want. If you want to make that girl your daughter-in-law, go ahead. But at least ask your dear son once." Ahil's father now preferred not to engage further in the discussion, leaving everything on his wife and walked away.____A while later, their beloved son returned home from the office. The atmosphere was congenial as they all gathered for dinner. Th
Being a servant was acceptable to her, but becoming an object for someone's bed was absolutely intolerable.Amidst her contemplation, she quivered and, with tears streaming down her face, began to speak, "Please, sister-in-law, don't sell me. I will do every task for you. I will work day and night. Make me do any work you want, but please spare me from this deal... please save me, sister-in-law."In response to her pleas, her brother, in anger, pushed her towards Surekha, shouting, "Surekha, make her understand properly. If she creates any drama in front of Shalini madam later, I will beat her to death.""Don't worry, I will make her understand very well," Surekha replied with a smile, assuring her husband. After he left, Surekha closed the door and issued a threat, "Hiya queen, you have to get married. Not only that, they want a child from you. So, it's better for you to willingly accept it. Madam's son has a fierce temper. Even a small mistake from you could have severe consequences

And soon gripping over the steering wheel tightly from one hand while from the other hand he inserts the key and turns it, starting the engine.With a screeching sound the car moved forward and soon disappeared from the pavement of Raizada Mansion to the main road. As the whirl of wind passes by his car and he moves forward, Ahil navigates the roads with urgency, grappling with the persistent question of why his life seemed entangled with materialistic women. Recollections of Aakriti surfaced in front of his eyes, a girl who had merely sought him for financial gain. Now, he couldn't shake the feeling that this new prospect harboured similar motives and he himself agreed for that.Busy contemplating, he angrily grits his teeth and declares, "That's precisely why I harbour a deep-seeded hatred for the entire female gender, and this animosity will never wane.

She had already thought that they might demand an additional 50 lakhs at the last moment. Her greed was steadily increasing.Hiya's brother had just come to check if she was ready when Surekha, whispering near his ear, said, "Madam Shalini is very rich, don't you think the deal for your sister was too cheap? I suggest we should ask Madam Shalini for an extra 50 lakhs.""Firstly, trouble is leaving, and now you want an extra 50 lakhs." Reacting to Surekha's suggestion, he glared at his wife."Don't forget that Hiya's divorce hasn't happened yet. If they find out about it, they won't agree to marry their son to Hiya, even if you try to buy it that way," Surekha retorted with a twisted expression."So, what do you want then?" Ashok asked Surekha, his eyes brows creased with confusion."I want us to demand more money from them. If your sister returns to this threshold tomorrow, we shouldn't regret the loss," Surekha replied."You're making sense," he responded with a smile._____Ahil had
Delhi (India)A pin drop silence was there in the air, under the broad day light of around 2 o'clock, and the entire house was in complete disarray. As if a heavy blow of wind came and destroyed everything, leaving gloominess and mess.Glass shards were scattered all over the floor. It seemed like the house had not been cleaned for quite a few days. Clothes were lying here and there, and in some places, there were several pieces of broken glass bangles. On one side, a bloodstained bed looked desolate.Her entire body was writhing in pain. She had so little strength left that she couldn't even stand on her own. Before her, the same scene replayed over and over again—the moment when that person, in a state of intoxication, brutally beat her, and even worse, forced himself upon her. She pondered, "Does a husband really harm his wife so brutally? Does a husband forcefully violate her without her consent? Does a husband imprison his own wife like a prisoner?”But this all was happening wit
After ringing a couple of times, Ahil, the birthday boy, finally picked up the call and calmly said, "Yeah, Di! What happened?"Sneha, a bit annoyed, replied, "Well, sir doesn't even remember that today is your birthday.""So what!" he responded nonchalantly, as if it was no big deal. She sensed from his tone that he had no interest in celebrating his birthday.Despite that, she affectionately said, "Oh my sweet brother, come home quickly; we're waiting to cut the cake."He got a bit irritated with her words, "You've come home, enjoy, have dinner... and go home... there's no need to wait for me... I have a lot of work.”Despite Ahil's refusal, she didn't let go, saying, "I told you to come home. We'll cut the cake together."This time, he was annoyed and said to his sister in anger, "When I said once not to cut the cake, it meant not to cut it. Why are you persisting?"After saying this, he angrily ended the call. Meanwhile, Sneha, a bit emotional, and all his sisters who had gathered

"Ahil's daddy...! Ahil's daddy...!" she exclaimed, anxiously calling Mr. Agraj. After a couple of calls, he came out. "Shalini, what happened now?"As he inquired, he noticed the injuries on Ahil's forehead and hand, causing him to worry. "Ahil , did you drive without a driver again today?""No, Dad, it was just a minor accident... I mean, someone needed help, and I got injured while assisting."He was narrating the entire incident to his dad while his mom quickly fetched the first aid kit and started dressing his wounds. In her anger, she scolded him, "You've taken the responsibility of the whole world on your shoulders. Instead of always helping others, when will you find a life partner for yourself? I've told you countless times to get married, but will you fulfil my wish only after I'm gone?"Hearing the mention of dying, Ahil gently placed his hand on his mother's mouth and said, "No, Mom, never! I've already told you I don't want to get married, and I'll say the same today. Besi
"Didn't I save you from those thugs, risking my life? So, don't I deserve some advantage from you?" He blurted, detecting her fear and tried to mess with her clouded thoughts a little."A... Advantage? W... what advantage?" Her lips trembled, and sweat began to flow down her forehead. Her breaths became fast and erratic. While Ahil, unable to take off his eyes, stares at her deeply.She huddled in a corner, a detail Ahil keenly observed. He could see the terror creeping over her and it concerned him somehow, pushing him down the alley where she was being exploited when he wasn't present to protect her.Why does her eyes tell me a story I am unknown to? And why the fuck is it even bothering me?Extending his hand toward her he was about to take the seat belt on his hand when he found her black pearl-like eyes closed. He was trying to study her briefly when Hiya jumped to a conclusion and was about to scream. And Ahil swiftly covered her mouth with his free hand, stopping her from accus
As Ahil continued to attend to her with genuine concern, a pause lingered in the air, allowing Hiya to absorb the nuances of the moment. His actions spoke louder than words, revealing a side of humanity she had rarely encountered. A mixture of gratitude and embarrassment settled within her as he gently wiped away her tears, creating a unique connection between two souls traversing through the unexpected twists of fate.The hazel eyes that had witnessed much silently communicated a profound understanding, leaving Hiya to contemplate the depth of compassion that had unexpectedly entered her life. She lowered her gaze, and he continued, "I am sorry... I know I shouldn't have done this, but you were crying nonstop for a long time, and I couldn't resist.”--------------------The night was dark as pit hole with a chilling air blowing out. And in this complete stillness even the air could be detected with its ringing sound, as if getting hovered by the darkness of night the air turned out t
“Hey Mr. Hero, this girl is our possession. So, it's better that you leave her to us only.”Hiya felt petrified hearing his threat while Ahil least bothered by his false hollow words hits hard on the man he was holding on, and he falls on ground subconsciously. Ahil smirks and craning his head behind looks at the one who was threatening. That man gulps feeling scared of him and Ahil knew the game was about to get over. When Hiya, feeling panicked with his words, lost in her own fear, she looked at Ahil and pulled over his shirt. His face holding the concern surge through it again, when she sobbing says, “No.. no.. these people are monsters. Please don't leave me and go.”Her eyes held a doubt of him scurrying away from there, leaving her all alone. She was in her panic state not realising his determination to safeguard her as those goons' voices kept on echoing in her ears. Seeing which Ahil starts feeling bad for her condition, feeling guilty to unknowingly put her in this situatio
