Arjun’s PoV
The moment I heard her say his name, I lost it all. It slipped out of her tongue with ease. I saw her face change through the rear-view mirror in a split second. She felt at ease as soon as she realized that no one noticed her mistake, that nerve of this girl. We made love just the night before and she could still think of her ex-boyfriend? What kind of girl is she? She still has him in her heart? What was she thinking when she made love to me? Thinking of him? I felt like being slippered naked. I could not take this. Not anymore. I love her and she will spend her life with me. But she will never receive any love from me.
Enough of guessing games, enough of trying to understand her or consider her age. I decided to tell her on her face that I know about her love life and also tell her that her life is doomed. Afterall my patience was han
Anika’s PoVHe’s decided to punish me without even letting me explain my side. So I have decided to shower my love on him to make him understand what we really have between us. He took me back to our room after my late lunch. Since ours was a suite, we had a sitting area with a trundle sofa and a small partition with a microwave, coffee maker, and fridge and a separate room with a huge bed and attached bathroom.When we went in, she was sleeping on the sofa. He went to her and gently shuffled her from her sleep.“Anu, refresh and come. Let's go have some coffee and an evening snack.” He told her. I just had my lunch and I cannot eat anything until tomorrow, that is how full I am.“Sure!” She went into th
Arjun’s PoVI had already made arrangements for Anu to go to Salem where one of my acquaintances is practising as a doctor. We wanted everything to be lowkey and as subtle as possible so I avoided joining with her. I arranged a special transport for her from Chennai to Salem and dropped her.“Thank you so much, Arjun.”“Don’t mention it, Anu. Here, have this phone and use it to contact me at any time. I have saved my number in it. The doctor there will take care of you very well. All your necessities will be fulfilled there. If you need anything, ask them or me. Ok?”“Sure, Arjun. About my request..?”“I will surely make arrangements
Anika’s PoVWith the force the door opened, I shrieked in horror and threw the phone away. I looked up to see him with a terrifying face. He didn't speak a word to me but went into the room where I think we are going to stay. I started to follow him to the room just when our driver came in with a load of baggage. I ran to help him.“Oh, here, give it to me, bro.”“No issues, madam. Where do I place them?”“Just leave it here, I will take them inside.”He went back for more luggage, I am confused. What is all this? Looks like he had packed up all the stuff from that home to here. Is he going to keep me here forever? What does he think it will do to me?
Arjun’s PoV‘I have finally found the meaning of love but it seems useless now.’ What does that even mean? It is useless since she married me?‘My past has become a nightmare’ this one I agree. Her past, I cannot even say that it is her past when she clearly still has feelings for him. It is a nightmare, not for her, but for me.She still hates Preethi. Does not get a good vibe? Preethi is a sweetheart who always cheered me up in my low times. She made me open up to people. She stood by my side and understood me very well. Anika can never talk ill about her.‘My love and mistakes came haunting me.’ Yup, you always have to pay for the deeds you do. You do good, goodness comes to you. If you do bad, evil w
Anika’s PoVHis cold behavior towards me is killing me. He ordered me to do chores all day and also expects me to finish the jewelry in my free time. Free time? Like if there is any. He woke me up with a harsh comment which I don't even want to think about. I could still remember those lust filled eyes when he saw me, yet he called me a low word. Above all, he thrusted the tray full of earrings on the floor and with the force he pushed, some of them broke into pieces. All my work went in vain.I am getting tired of his behavior in just two days. How can I manage his insults and arrogance for the rest of my life? Do I still love him after all this? My stupid heart says YES. But I am not here enduring all this shit just because I love him. I am here because I am indebted to him. He has helped my family with a huge amount of money though I didn't ask for it. He want
Arjun’s PoVI called Praveen on the way to the office. I don't know anyone who works at a cell phone service provider center to acquire the person on whose name the sim card was bought. Praveen is a very talkative man and has loads of friends. He is a man with exclusive people skills, he can get the work done even if he doesn't know anyone there.“Praveen, where are you?”“In the lab. I arrived early today. Where are you?”“On the way to the lab.”“What, why? I thought you said you will come only three days a week and today is not among the days you have mentioned.”“Yeah, I
Anika’s PoVThat was a blunder again. Gosh, why is it so hard to withhold my tongue? He was already fuming and I added fuel to his anger. With that force he raised his hand, I wouldn't have survived if he had slapped me. He dashed out of the door and banged it behind him. Now I am left all alone in this room. To do what? I am now not sure how I am going to fix this. Where did he go now? He is extremely angry to drive his car. I ran out but saw his car sitting right where he parked it. Ok, he didn't go out, but where is he?All I wanted to do was to explain that there is nothing between me and Arun that is alive. I wanted to apologise to him for that name slip. I wanted to explain that whatever he thinks or is fed to think is completely false. I wanted to tell him that I am very loyal to him in this relationship. I wanted to clarify that Arun was a closed chapter.
Anika’s PoVAfter Arjun left home on a Monday morning, I called for a call-taxi and waited impatiently to go to Preethi’s husband’s house. His name is Nilesh. I don't really know what I am expecting him to tell me or reveal me. But I need to start somewhere without Arjun’s knowledge and as far as I know, Arjun hates this guy for ruining Preethi’s life. So, the chances of them meeting are zero if not negative.Once after we had that big fight, I knew I had to do something to make it right and I also knew Harish is working with Preethi. I explained the situation to Harish and asked him to get something out of her mouth about her ex-husband so that we can find him. Harish was a huge help and the most important thing is he never judged me or Arjun and he also never pestered me with questions. I am blessed to have him in my life.
Arjun’s PoVShe looked lovely in the lehenga I custom made for her. I couldn't hold myself back from touching her but did it anyway as the hall was full of people. As soon as we got in the car, I intertwined my fingers with hers and started driving towards Coonoor. Her nearness and her beauty was driving me nuts every passing second. She was talking non-stop about Danya and Akshitha and how they were going to be best friends. Of Course yes, Danya and Akshitha are just as talkative as Anika and they make the place lively wherever they are. Rishi and Yadav are cool guys too and since I am an introvert so far, I have had a borderline relationship with everybody and now I guess I have to be friends with them!It was about a two and half hour drive and we stopped twice on the road as she felt nauseous on the winding road. As soon as we reached, the helpers there broug
Anika’s PoVIt is my birthday tomorrow! I am waiting for my hubby to wish me happy birthday but it looks like all he is caring about now is to pack for our honeymoon tomorrow. I wonder whether he knows it is my birthday tomorrow or not. We are going to Coonoor tomorrow as I am in the first trimester of pregnancy and air travel is not advisable right now. Arjun talked to his relative Yadav Rishid who owns a resort in Coonoor for blocking a room for us. I remember Yadav Rishid and his wife Akshitha, they came to our home the next day of our wedding to congratulate us. He is now busy talking to his another relative Rishi to whom he has ordered a special outfit for me. He was the one that helped Arjun to choose all the clothes Arjun got for me.“Arjun…” I called him sitting on the bed.
Anika’s PoVThe house was in pindrop silence and no one was ready yet to take it in. I heard the sniffs of Dhanam Perima but she didn't dare to look Anand in the face. My dad gestured to my mom to go and talk to Dhanam perima. I think they need more time to sink in the information and understand their feelings over it. I am truly glad that Sivaprakasam Perippa stayed quiet instead of talking thick words that would hurt Anand out of overwhelming feelings. His silence is a good sign, he is thinking about it and I agree that this society has made up some rules that are ridiculous and he needs a huge courage to accept the truth against the society.As we parked the car, Anand got down from the other car that came towards us. He was waiting for our arrival. When we went in along with Anand, my mom, dad, Aunt, Priya and Rajesh were already in the house, talking to Peri
Anika’s PoVAll my anger flew away when I saw her in the hospital bed with the hospital patient uniform. She has lost so much weight and also lost her charm and beauty. Her eyes had dark circles around it. She was leaning back on the bed and was looking at the ceiling when I opened the door. It’s good that Arjun did not accompany me to see her, he cannot digest this sight. As she heard the door, she just moved her eyes to the door and her facial expression changed from nude to anger in just a matter of seconds.“Why are you here?” She asked me as soon as I entered the room.“I am here to see you. Isn’t it obvious?” I asked her back.“I hate to even see you. You made Arjun see me differently. How di
Anika’s PoVAfter a week,I was in constant touch with Sharanya to know the condition of Preethi. She was still in the hospital until yesterday and nobody tried to talk to her because the doctor adviced against bringing up the reason for her attempted suicide while she was still healing. Preethi chose not to talk to anybody also. Sharanya said that Praveen and his parents are still mad at Arjun but they dare talk about him in front of Preethi. She also said that it was very unlikely for Preethi to not ask about Arjun for a complete week.“They will come around when they know the truth. We are happy to wait and we are really happy that Preethi has recovered completely and is doing well.” I told Sharanya when I spoke to her two days back.
Anika’s PoV“Thank you, dad. I never knew you would be the invisible help I would get.” Arjun told his dad. Arjun and I went to uncle’s room to thank him for his timely help.“You are a grown man, Arjun. But you will always be my son no matter how big you get. I only wish for your happiness. I have enough trust in you to lead your life without my intervention but I also have that wisdom to see through you and read your heart. You are my son, dear boy and I can see what you were going through. I initially thought it was Anika’s fault but soon realized that she was in love with you. That is when I extended my support to her. I pointed out her mistakes and made her think out of the situation. I know you would come around as I saw your love towards Anika. I am happy you sorted things on a good note. So what are you going to do abou
Preethi’s PoVI was waiting for Arjun in the farmhouse but I felt like something was wrong. I want Arjun and I would do anything to be with him was all I chanted in my mind. It was already 7pm and Arjun didn't get back home. I picked up my phone to call Arjun to know where he is. I saw so many missed calls from Arun and I was alarmed. Why the hell would this scaredy cat call me this many times? I called him back.“Hello, why have you called me so many times?” I asked him as soon as he picked up the call.“You spoiled my career. It’s all because of you.” He said angrily.“What happened?”“Arjun sir came to meet me. He spoke to my boss and n
Arjun’s PoVI tried to finish my office work as soon as possible because I just wanted to go to Anika and be with her. I couldn't shake off her thoughts from my mind. All of me wants to be with her. Just her thoughts gave me boner and I was struggling hard to keep my hormones in check. I kept on checking my phone to see if she had messaged me or called me. Why didn't she just find out that I am the stalker yet? I have given her enough clues for her to find it out.“Here, that man you wanted to know about, he is working in Abrave Solutions. He is at his office right now. This is his address. He is sharing a room with three other guys near old Mahabalipuram.” Praveen came to me with the details of Arun’s whereabouts after our lunch.“Thanks, da. I will take it from here.
Anika’s PoVAfter Arjun left, I spent my time with my mom and dad. We all had lunch together and my mom said how guilty she feels to accept all the help that Arjun is doing to them financially. My aunty told my mom to think of Arjun as their son and not as their son-in-law. It was a wonderful sight to see my aunty wash away my mom’s guilt. I am blessed to have found Arjun and his family. How can all of them be nice and good hearted? I settled my mom and dad in a room after lunch, as they looked tired of a whole night's travel. I went to my aunt’s room to see her knitting projects.“No, dear, you need rest now. I will figure it out myself. Now please, go and have some sleep.” Said she when she saw me trying to undo the wrong stitches.“It’s ok, aunty. I am fine and I do
