The flashback continued:
Two days later, Dua was watching a movie with her father, and he was lost in his own world. Dua saw him and asked, "What is wrong, Papa? Where are you lost?"
Her father sighed and looked at her, "Dua"
She simply nodded at him.
"Dua! My friend requested your hands for his son", Her father spoke, and his face was tense.Dua was stunned, and her mouth was wide open."Marriage?", Dua asked her father, stunned as dozens of words and meanings flooded her mind.
~Marriage, a legally and socially sanctioned union, between a man and a woman, that was regulated by laws, rules, customs, beliefs, and attitudes that prescribe the rights and duties of the partners and accords status to their offspring~
~Marriage - a bond/commitment between not only a man and a woman but also between the two families~
Her heart palpitated as she didn't know what to tell her father.
"Dua, say something?" Her father inquired, aware of the situation.
His beloved daughter was still studying and had a long life ahead of her.
"I am not sure what to say, Papa?", Dua did not consider marriage at such an early age. She was only nineteen years old and needed to complete her studies before launching her own fashion line.
"My child, I understand what you are thinking. I was the same as you at the time when he suddenly asked about your marriage", Her father spoke and attempted to explain himself.
"Papa, I am only nineteen", Her father nodded as she spoke. Her father sighed weakly and continued to stare at her."I understand, which is why I did not say anything to him at the time. I would like to know what you think about this. You are my one and only daughter, and I do not want to rush you into any relationship", Her father said and smiled. He also wanted her daughter to stand up on her own.
"What do you want, Papa?", Dua asked, but her heart was racing abnormally fast.
"I am confused because I never think about your wedding. I mean, not soon. Maybe when you are 25, I will marry you off, but I saw his son. He is a good boy, and I like him", He said, sighing loudly again.Dua regained control of her panicked self and attempted to smile while looking at her father."Papa! Will you give me some time to think, Papa? I am shivering right now. "You know me, I am not good at expressing myself, especially with others", Dua said, and her father understood her point. "Take your full time. I am not putting any pressure on you to do it", Her father spoke, and she smiled broadly because her father was the best. He always understood and supported her."Thank You, Papa. You are the best", she said, placing her head on her father's lap. He began stroking her hair."Papa", Dua called him. "Hmm?", Her father hummed in response."Do you like that boy?", She inquired about the boy."Yes", the smile on her father's face accelerated her heartbeat."But I did not see him when they came to our house", Dua asked confusedly."He came directly to the temple", her father explained, smiling at her. "What is his name?", Dua asked and fisted her hands to control her anxiety."Why? Are you interested in him?", Her father looked amused at her daughter."Papa, I am just asking his name", Dua groaned mentally.
"Oh, I have his picture on my phone from when we clicked outside the temple", Her father spoke, and she nodded and stood up from her seat. "Papa, I will see his picture tomorrow. "I am sleepy now.", She spoke and yawned loudly.Dua went into her room. Her father followed her. She lay down and immediately dozed off. Her father smiled and draped a blanket over her body.
"God bless you", Her father kissed her forehead and looked at her lovingly.The next day, the heart of a father was pounding nervously inside his chest."Dua, are you ready?", Her father asked her from outside her room.
"Yes, Papa, I am ready", Dua responded. Her father entered her room and noticed her daughter, who was dressed like a pink flower in a pink traditional Indian Saree.
"How am I looking, Papa?", Dua inquired. Her nervousness was making her dizzy, and while Saree was not her first choice, she chose to wear it because her father had asked her to."Princess! My daughter is a princess", Her words brought tears to his eyes.
Her father asked Dua about the marriage. Dua said she needed time to think about it. He gave her time.
Dua agreed to the marriage after seeing the boy's picture the next day, but her father wanted her to make an informed decision, so he invited his friends to his home with his son. They agreed, and now they are all here to see her. Especially the boy who wished to see Dua.
"Let us go. everyone is waiting for you", Her father spoke, clutching her cold hands in his, and began to walk to the location where his friends were waiting for his beautiful Princess.Dua greeted everyone, and they smiled back. Her father forced her to sit on the seat beside him. Dua was so caught up in herself that she did not say anything to anyone. Just staring at the ground.
"Dua", Her father summoned her, and she raised her brows in a questioning manner. Her father shook his head.
"Dua! You met my friends and his family, correct?", Her father asked, and Dua nodded.
"Now meet their son, 'Prathvik' ", Her father motioned for her to look at the boy, and unknowingly, her gaze fell on the boy, who had a small smile on his lips.
'PRATHVIK!', Dua whispered his name softly, her heart skipping a beat as she and Prathvik stared at each other.

'PRATHVIK!', Dua whispered his name softly, her heart skipping a beat as she and Prathvik stared at each other. Dua extended a greeting and bowed her head slightly, and he reciprocated. Her heart was pounding, and she was nervous as hell. "My child, take Prathvik to your room and talk," Dua's father said directly. In front of everyone, Dua panicked and yelled, "No!" Everyone stared at her and the way she yelled. She looked at the boy, who had a deep frown on his forward. Dua's father shook his head again at her daughter's childish behavior. Dua managed to calm her racing heart. She felt warm gazes on her body. She recognized that she had made a mistake and that everyone was thinking negatively about her father's upbringing. She decided to abandon her facade of a shy and quiet girl and start s

"Prathvik", Dua moaned as he slowly crawled on top of her got rid of her clothes, and ripped off her bra into two pieces. "Prathvik", Dua gasped, wanting to scold him for disturbing her peaceful sleep but before she could do so, Prathvik pressed his lips against hers. And she melted against his touches. He sensually moves his lips to her jaw, then to her neck where he roughly bit her skin. Tears formed in her eyes. The pain was making it difficult for her to even move. She was still in pain, her body was sore and her legs were numbed. His legs were in between her thighs and one of his knees was pressed against her panties. She tried to move but he held her body in his tight grip. Prathvik put his lips on her lips and kissed her bottom lips hungrily. His eyes were filled with lust. "P
Her mind was silent. The world was silent around her. She couldn't hear the sound of the other cells. A deafening echo filled her mind as she heard whispers close by. Dua opened her eyes slowly, not able to move from the ground she was lying on. Her body was numb, every inch of her body was in pain as she forced herself to sit up. Dua looked around the dark cell she was in. She couldn't see anything, her heightened sense felt so mundane. "Aye! it's time to go to court", the female prison warden came and announced to her. Dua sat down on the floor and stared blankly at the bars of her cell. "Did you hear or not?", the female warden yelled at her. "Change your clothes now. The vehicle is ready", the female warden threw a saree on her and walked out of her cell. Dua unbuttoned her top and wore a blouse. She put her head under the Underskirt and tied it around her waist and then she opened the knots of her trousers and lastly messy wrapped the white cotton prisoner clothes (
"My soul got peace where, where Pain of my Heart was not even recommended" DUA ... Inside the Prison: DUA's POV: It's not important for me to have any hope from all these hearings, dates, and fights. I know what will happen in the end. It's not like I don't want to go out of this hell and meet my father but the first question is How? My life is already ruined because of my own selfishness. Selfishness of immaturity. Selfishness of love. In this World of cruelty, I did something that kept me sane. That was 'To Kill the Threat' and I did it for myself. I went against my family just to protect my sanity but see where I am right now in this dark ugly cell of Prison. And now, This Arin Kashyap has also started to nag at me.

The next morning, Arin was seated in front of Dua.Her eyes were red and puffy which clearly shows that she didn't sleep in the night. Arin got a message about Dua's outburst from the call of the jailer. Arin was shocked to hear about Dau's last statement."I killed My Child"Arin shook his head and stared at Dua who was looking back at him with mixed feelings.The feeling of being judged by him."Did you really kill your child?", Arin asked and noted down in his file."Yes, I did", Again she accepted this crime. "Why?", Arin didn't know how to understand her but again started to write down her statement."Because I don't want anything related to him", Dua's eyes blazed and showed hidden rage."Him? Your husband?", Arin asked as he saw the fire in her eyes as he asked her.Dua looked briefly at him and smirked evilly. She didn't respond to him but her eyes and smile were enough to send chills to him.'She did kill her child but why? What was her reason to become so cruel?', Arin's h
{Last Chapter Continued} Dua opened the door and entered Prathvik's cabin. Her heart was happily thudding in her chest. A big smile adorned her face making her more beautiful. But soon her smile dropped when the door opening sound made a girl, who was already inside Prathvik's cabin, turn around and briefly stare at Dua. Dua stood there calmly. There was no sense of threats and negativity because of that unknown girl. "Who are you?", Dua, too looked back at that girl, and after a few seconds of observing her, she asked her in a soft tone. Dua calmly asked her and not for a second did that wrong of Prathvik as she found a girl in Prathvik's cabin. "Tisha", That girl murmured softly and Dua stood blankly at her spot while gazing at that girl, trying to understand the situation. They stared at each other for a minute and then Dua heard familiar footsteps. "Dua", Hearing a familiar voice calling her name, made Dua turn around only to find shocked-looking Prathvik. Dua smiled ge
~Inside the Doctor's Cabin:- Looking like a zombie, Dua sat in front of a doctor. The doctor's eyes were observing Dua with sharp eyes. "I'm seeing a girl. Her name is Tisha. She looks older than me. I saw her for the first time in my husband's office on the day of my first wedding anniversary", Dua told everything to the doctor who listened to her and recorded her words too. Dua's heart skipped a beat when she started recalling whatever was going on in her life. "Tisha is following me everywhere like a shadow. She acts like a stalker. She even followed me to my hometown", Dua said and closed her eyes. Her hands immediately rubbed the temple of her head. "Okay! Stop now. Ms. Dua, We need other sessions too. Take this medicine and don't pressurize your brain. Don't think too much", the doctor told her. Dua nodded her head and knew the doctor wouldn't help her in this situation. Her situation was different than those people who were fighting with their inner demons of depres

[Last Chapter Flashback continued] ~Two days Later, In Delhi. "Nothing is good, Papa", Dua said to her father while her head was in the lap of her father. Dua never hides anything from her father but she hides the matter of Prathvik's lies and the mental game that he played with her. Dua just revealed about Tisha, her sudden scary appearance, and her past connection to Prathvik to her father. That night, Dua threw Prathvik out of her house as she did not want to see his face. It was good that her housemate was on her holiday and no one was there to witness how her husband was trying to make her a mentally sick person. Dua was in pain and completely heartbroken. Dua called her father and told him that she was sick and needed him. Her father took the next flight and came to see his daughter. When Dua's father got to know a
Exclusive Chapter 2} Shades Of LoveDUA ARIN KASHYAP's POV:- Stupid, idiot, dumb, Dua , this is all I could think of to describe myself right now. I knew when he got angry he could only see red and no one before his eyes. His BEAST is uncontrollable. I fucking knew it. Still made him angry. Now he'll shower them all at me like a hailstorms shower in a mango plantation."Get ready for the next few hours. This night is still young and will be long." Saying this he stormed out of the room. Where did he go? No idea. This time I won't hide in the washroom. He'll definitely break the door and what's the point of angering him more? I decided to wait patiently for him sitting on the floor just in front of the closed door, knees folded, hands behind door, knees folded, hands behind my back, head bowed down, eyes staring at the floor between my knees, and mind trying to calculate the possibilities of me being alive the next morning.He came back with two bowls in his hand, handcuffs, and a

"You better be. It's been ages since we've been waiting for you", The woman on the speaker was sounding quite pissed off. "Okay just a few minutes and you'll find me there.", She said putting her earrings on. The other person just hummed and ended the conversation. I was watching her every move resting my back at the door. From the back, she was looking like a whole meal. Her bodycon dress, reaching her mid-thighs, was perfectly hugging her curves. Her butt was poking. Her milky thighs are on fu
As per the previous timeline, Prathvik's parents came to India and met Dua's father. They liked Dua for Prathvik but Dua's father directly declined and told them that his daughter liked someone else. The matter of Dua's marriage with Prathvik stopped there and Dua couldn't stop herself from screaming in Joy. *** The day before her departure to Delhi, Dua was sweating profusely, her vision was blurry and her head was spinning. She saw a new and different dream and whom she saw took her breath away. "Maa?", Dua's voice cracked and tears were ruining her vision. "Dua! How are you?", Dua's mother was looking the same when she died after giving birth to Dua. Dua did not know what to reply to her. This was the first time when Dua was seeing her mother or having a dream of her. "How's the transmigration?", Her mother smiled and her eyes were glossy too. Dua gasped and asked, "How?" "Dua! I don't know how to explain this to you but this time reversing or transmigration happened beca
(The last chapter continued) "What the hell is happening here?", Dua's body trembled and legs wobbled enough to make her knelt down on the floor. Her face was different and did not look like a woman who lost everything in the world of darkness. "What is this? I'm confused. What's wrong here? Why am I looking different from my current appearance?", Dua asked herself as she was scared and she knew that the life she had lived wasn't a dream. That life was her real life. That day when She was 19 and got engaged to Prathvik. That month when At the age of 20 got arrested. That year at the age of 25, She died too. That time was cold and lonely. Dua felt suffocated and continued to stare at herself. "I'm chubby the same as when I was 19. So it means, I'm back in my previous life again. If it is true then why? How's it possible? What would I explain to Papa?", Dua talked to herself. She smiled and then started to laugh again. She remembered everything. From her engagement, wedding, P
{last chapter continues} "What did Dua get to know about you?", Arin asked and Prathvik's senior shivered. "That, that I was planning of TREASON, by making false data reads in the company's final year report. I was stealing shares and money too from the Company in which I was working. Tisha knew this piece of information and Dua heard our telephone conversation", Senior accepted his crime and it was all recorded. "But Dua didn't make trouble for you?", Arin asked but only he knew how much he was controlling himself. "I was clearing the hurdles of my plan and Dua perfectly fitted in my plan by sending her behind the bars. Tisha and Prathvik were dead and their parents knew that Dua murdered them so they backed out and left the matters the way. No one ever tried to know about the real truth behind their murders. They knew that Dua hated Prathvik and Tisha for cheating and also hated their child too", Senior spoke and Arin again stared at him without wavering his eyeballs. "My plan
"There are no accidental Meetings in between the SOULS" DUA-ARIN .. .. One week later of DUA's death:- In one of the basements of Kashyap, The Beast was planning something scarier in his mind. Arin turned to a man named Hubir of the security team given by his younger brother Ariv and then he spoke softly, "Give me the mixture of Honey, Milk, and flour" Hubir was scared by Arin's black empty eyes. Prathvik's senior who greeted Dua on her first wedding anniversary in the office was the one who shot bullets at Dua and she died because of it. As Arin was waiting, He leisurely sat on the chair, lighting a cigarette. Arin casually said to the senior of Prathvik, "You know, this mixture is really interesting" "Ancient people used this method, to force the victim to ingest a mixture of milk, honey, and flour until their bowels gave up. Their naked body then smeared with more milk, honey, and flour until it attracted the wasps, ants, and other poisonous insects. They would crawl ins
"You said that you will wait for me but I don't think that I will ever be able to accept you and will forget my past. This is wrong, Arin. You deserve someone good not like me", Dua finally spoke her heart out and listened to her, Arin chuckled softly, coldly, and darkly. "Who gave you right to think about me that what I want or what I deserve? You just have to love me in return and we will grow old together", Arin spoke grittedly and Dua looked up shockingly. Arin pulled her towards him. Leaning in, in his arms, Dua Did not speak a word. Arin inhaled deeply and controlled his rage and then he pulled Dua's cheeks with warmth and said, "I didn't know what I was thinking back then. I just felt that being with you made me feel comfortable. It just felt right. I'm not that kind of person who uses someone else's things, nor do I approve of someone else using my personal belongings but when you enter my house. All of this didn't matter . It not felt different. Like we belonged together"
"You are the story that I never want to end." ARIN .. .. At the Kashyap Mansion, Arin hugged his mother tightly and told her that he was going to meet her future daughter-in-law. Pashika smiled while tears welled up in her eyes as she patted his shoulder. "Go and bring her here", Pashika said to Arin and he again hugged her tightly. Arin's pain and disturbance always get cured by his mother's warm embraces and thoughts of Dua. Arun knew that his mother's hugs could heal Dua's pain and give her great courage and strength too. Arin believed that even his sister-in-law could also give Dua the same cure because he had a loving and caring family. Arin literally ran out of the Mansion and took his car drive to the club HAVEN. *** A Few metres away from the Club Haven, Dua was waiting for Arin. Her shift finished early. Her vision caught a board where a heart-touching quotation was written very beautifully. ~'Love was something that could not be seen. It flows in the air, in t
The Next night, at the club HAVEN:- Five brothers or say middle-aged men were sipping their drinks and gossiping about their wives. Dua heard their talks and thought how lucky their wives were. Because those five men were actually appreciating the efforts of their wives. "Take care of them. They're our special person. Two of them are owners of this Club and the other three are their brothers", the Manager of the Club told Dua clearly. Dua nodded her head. The manager left and the assistant manager looked at them with dreamy eyes. "Those are Arjun Kashyap and Neil Khanna, Davis Grey, Daniel Miller, and Rudra Singh Rathore. They are the hottest middle-aged men of this century" The assistant manager gave the proper introduction to Dua. Dua rolled her eyes took short glances at them and found the meaning of real happiness. Their smiles were pure, eyes held so much love, affection, and care for their wives. Dua's heart shattered when her mind flashed the memories of her father a
