Anna was about to ask Ian to cut the cake, but unfortunately there was an unwanted and uncalled guest at home. Abigail Williams had dropped by and Ian was surprised to see her. Anna and Pari who shared a common dreariness towards her were annoyed at her sudden visit. "Happy Birthday Ian... I went home but your maid said you're out. So I thought you would be here. Thank God you're here" Abby's extra long fake lashes were moving at a rate of 100km/hr as she hugged him. "Yeah. I was with my family and thank you for coming home" Ian thanked her. "How are you auntie? It's been a really long time since we last met. " She tried to be extra friendly with Anna though it was of no use. Anna never really liked Abby but still tolerated her for Ian's sake. "Yeah Ms. Williams. We were not expecting you suddenly here. Anyways thanks for taking out your precious time for coming here. " Anna tried to cover her annoyance with a polite tone. Like mom, like daughter, both Anna and Pari didn't want Ab
Next day Ian woke her up with a strong cup of coffee just like she preferred. He prepared her bath and got her some clothes from his mom's closet that actually looked quite new and fine. They went back to the office and started working as usual. Pari thanked Austin for all his valuable inputs and help. Sonu called Pari during lunch break to have a sleepover at Avery's place during the weekend. But the man in front of her was not so happy with the plans.. but he agreed since she needed some time for herself. So when the weekend dropped by, Pari directly drove to Avery's place in Camden. Three of the girls had their loveable junk food dinner and settled down with comfortable pyjamas and started binge watching some shows. "So... How's things with Ian? He seems to keep you captivated all the time " Sonu winked at Pari and Avery was eager to hear the details. As always, her friends were hungry for some gossip."He's fine. Things are fine. Actually he does keep me captivated most of the
Next day, all three girls woke up late as they had binge watched some drama all night. After freshening up, Pari helped Sonu to prepare breakfast, while Avery kept messing around in the kitchen. Ian and Abhay called their girlfriends to check if they were coming back home but Avery insisted that they spend the day together. So Pari and Sonu decided to stay back. Since they had already wasted half of the day, they decided to go out for shopping and drinks. While Avery and Sonu shopped to their heart's content, Pari preferred window shopping. Since she didn't have too much stuff, Pari had officially become their bag carrier. After a long and tiring shopping spree, they decided to go out for drinks. Though Pari knew about Sonu's drinking habits, she couldn't really stop her best friend from being drunk. Avery, who happened to be a lightweight drinker, didn't help the case. Both of them kept ordering shots and ended up being extremely drunk. Pari had no other options than calling Abhay
Pari usually had a habit of calling home early in the morning as she would be tired after work. As usual she was about to dial her mother's number when her mother herself called Pari. They talked about each other's daily life. Pari thought it was the right time to talk about Ian since her mother's mood seemed to be alright. "Maa. How's everything in Pune? ""Everything is fine baccha.... You know... Nisha's engagement has been fixed. If you get time you could join us." Pari was not even interested in Nisha and her engagement. Forget attending it, she didn't even want to think about it. But right now her priority was talking to her parents about her life and her love. "I'll think about it Maa. Where's Papa? I wanted to talk to you both about something " She wanted to talk about the issue with both of them. "Ok baccha, I'll put the call on speaker. You can talk now, Papa is listening too." Soon the call was on speaker. "Hello Pari beta, how are you? How's everything there?" Ajay as
How did she end up in this situation? What was she going to do now? The day she dreaded had already arrived and now she was broken beyond words. She felt like she was stabbed with too many knives at a time. She felt dreadful, scared and shit. She didn't want to be alone, she was scared to lose her senses. She dialled the only person whom she wanted to see at that moment. "What happened baby? Missed me?" He asked in his soothing voice. But she was tearing apart after hearing him. Words didn't run out of her mouth. She felt as if her tongue was tied. She couldn't speak even though she wanted to cry her heart out."Baby, are you crying? What happened? Is this about your PMS? You want me to come home? Please say something Pari, you're worrying me" Ian was panicking after hearing her rugged breathing. "Ian... I don't want to be alone. I feel terrible. I want you by my side. Please... " She bursted into a fresh pool of tears that blurred her vision continuously. "Baby.. Stop crying. I'm
Ian knew how excited Pari was to talk to her parents about their relationship. But things got really dirty after that one phone call. Ian regretted not being with her when all these things happened. He got dreadful feelings when she called early in the morning and kept crying. He would have lost his sanity if she didn't say anything. She looked devastated when he reached her place. Her red puffy eyes told him how badly she was affected by their words. He couldn't understand why she had to suffer just because she loved someone. 'Why couldn't love be accepted in a simpler way? Why can't two people in love live happily without any interference?' Such thoughts kept bugging him all night. He just didn't want to see her in tears, most certainly not because she was in love with him. Next day Ian took her to his mother's place after getting ready. He cancelled all his schedules and decided to stay with her and his mom. Even Anna was in pain when she saw Pari in tears. After a long time Pari
After a lot of efforts Pari finally managed to convince Ian about her plan to visit home. Sonu was more than willing to be with her as she knew the consequences of last time. She didn't want her friend to be in pain. Ian insisted that Pari take his private jet as it would be more convenient. Even on the previous day of their departure, Ian was not sure about sending her alone. Somewhere in his heart he feared the consequences of her parent's denial. Pari was busy packing their bags when he thought of talking to his mom about his worries. "I'm still not sure if sending her alone would be a good idea mom. But she's adamant. I'm just worried, what if they don't treat her well... " Anna understood his concerns as a lover but she also had to think about Pari's situation. "I can understand your worries Ian. But think through Pari's point of view too. Even she needs her family's support in this matter. You can't deny her wish to meet her family and discuss these things. The outcome may not
Sonu tried a lot to wake up Pari, but none of her efforts were successful. So she immediately called George to get Pari inside the car and they took her to the nearby hospital. Sonu immediately called Ian and gave details about the situation. Ian was already having a terrible day at work. He couldn't focus on the meeting properly and anticipated her call. He was shocked to see Sonu's name on caller ID. His fears were kicking in as he picked the call. The news of his love fainting made him weak, mad and helpless. The meeting was cancelled then and there and his jet set off to Pune. He wanted to go with her but her 'no' made him stay away. Now he regrets sending her alone. It was after 14 long hours of flying, he landed in Pune. Journey from the airport to the hospital was terrible. He was devastated knowing that his love would be laying on a hospital bed. He opened the doors with trembling hands to see his angel cocooned in the hospital bed sheet. A worried Sonu sat next to her, wh
