It was around nine in the night when we were at Princep Ghat. It was popular for ferries and I had decided to take Akansha on one such ride. Rosaline seemed to have realized that sooner than I had expected as she immediately chirped in."I think we should take a ferry!", She said with a fake pretentious excitement. I felt like almost killing her but drew in a sharp breath to calm myself down. Akansha looked at me with a sad smile. "Fine.", I said curtly as we boarded a private ferry. Akansha stood beside me and looked down at flowing Ganges. The moon was shining brightly. Rosaline was looking around here and there. I slowly placed my hand on Akansha's as she seemed to come out of her thoughts."You are better than I had expected.", I whispered as she looked at me with a bewildered smile with a slight blush."I know, Mr. Parker. Now stop trying to be romantic.", She said leaning close to my ear. Her scent seemed so beautiful, she seemed so pretty. I pulled her by her waist, irrespe
One year.One year had passed. The door I had locked a year ago was still locked. I was sitting on my dining table drinking coffee. It was morning.. I had to go for work. Mr. Goenka had given me the post which was once held by Akansha. Not bad at all.. Really. I had grown up in just a year, life seemed so different now. More work, more responsibilities and definitely more people to criticize me. I stood up to give myself a last glance on the mirror. Yes, you must be thinking I am Heartless, undeservant of a girl like Akansha.. I know. And believe me you are not the only one, nearly the whole world thinks that way. But I.. Well, I don't care because they didn't mean anything to me. I walked out of my flat down to my car and soon the driver begun driving towards my office. Yes, I hadn't cried the way Anirudh had when he got the news.. I hadn't showed my sadness like the others had done but at times it's better to hide your feelings from others and even yourself seems so much comf
No! It.. It couldn't be her ghost..! But then if the watchman was seeing her standing on my balcony.. Someone was ought to be there.. "What happened? ", Anirudh asked observing me. " No.. Nothing.. Nothing happened. I have work to do we'll talk about Akansha later. ", I said returning to my paperwork as Anirudh left grumbling. The whole day went by thinking about what was actually happening in my house. It was late when I reached home. I opened the house and walked in. I had got some drinks (By the way that's nothing new, it's my daily routine since one year.. Every night. After all you need something to sustain yourself in pain.) I changed into my clothes thinking hard about what Had happened because everything seemed perfect for me right now.. Like I couldn't find any ghosts going around. I sat down on my dining table with my drinks and a glass to begin with my drinking session. After around six to seven glasses of drinks I heard a sound coming from Akansha's locked come.. Thi
I immediately shut the book and stood up. I had taken sips of alcohol, and now they seemed to have an effect.I turned back to see Akansha.. Akansha Goenka standing in front of me.. Definitely alive, her hazel brown eyes twinkled as ever. She looked at me with a subtle smile, a touch of secrecy they carried.Was I dreaming? Hallucinating?"You... You.?", I babbled like an idiot. " Oh yes. ", she said coming close to me, uncomfortably close. She pulled me out of what I believed was a dream.This was not a dream." Why aren't you happy? ", she said, a voice above whisper. " Ya.. Yes.. ", I stammered, my heart racing in my chest. Suddenly I realized that her hand had gone upto my neck from behind. Her fingers carefully lining my neck, sending chills down my spine. Her never seen before avatar seemed to take my breath away from me. He firmly held me by my neck.She leaned closer. I abruptly snapped out of my daze-like state and said," How are you alive?", she leaned closer until our
"I.. I tried to kill you?", I asked softly. "Yes! You did! ", she said, shouting at me. She continued still shouting at me as tears streamed down her eyes, " You didn't even spare a tear in my memory! You have always been Heartless! "" You want to know why I didn't cry over you?!! ", I was shouting back at her. Enough was enough.. I couldn't hold on to the truth anymore. " Because I knew you were very much alive!! I knew it!! "She stood still at the sentence trying to read my eyes which showed immense pain and agony. " You are lying to me.. ", she said, now her voice had turned soft. I took a deep breath and let it out. I walked towards her as she pushed back towards the wall, leaning on it. " I believed in you.. Your love.. I thought you'd return to me but.. I was wrong.. I was wrong.. "" How can you know?! It's not possible! ", she said in dis belief looking away from me. " While I sat near the Ganges that night I had seen you in your red dress with Anirudh.. Even if he w
I was asleep when suddenly my phone rung.. I knew I wasn't going to office so it wasn't hurting to sleep for long. I picked up the call without looking at the caller's name. "Good morning, Parker. ", said the most detested voice across the phone. " Why do you have to disturb me Anirudh?! ", I asked him in a very unpleasant news. " I had to give you a good news.. ", he said happily. " Why you are pregnant?! ", I asked (come on I was half asleep.. I'm not mad..) " Shut up! But don't worry.. You'll soon have my kids to play with.. ", he said. " Oohoo.. So you are planning to get pregnant.. Good good... ", I said yawning loudly. " Oh shut up! I'm a man.. I cannot get pregnant.. "" Sorry I thought you were a woman..", I said sitting up. " Okay fine.. Anyway.. I wanted to invite you to my wedding ceremony.", he said excitedly. " So who's the unlucky girl? ", I asked getting down from my bed. " Oh please.. By the way it's Akansha.", he said proudly. Yes.. Now only this was left.
"I don't want to hurt you..", she whispered as tears flowed down her eyes."Then why did you?", I asked softly."Because I was compelled to. I want to get rid of all this! I don't want to go through this!", She said nearly shouting."Yes. That I understand. Now tell me why.", I said patiently."Anirudh and Rosaline were together in this. Rosaline pushed me that day and Anirudh did save. He also manipulated me against you and I too believed him until one day I heard him speak over the phone to Rosaline...", Her voice trailed off as she fainted in my arms. Nevertheless I held her up in my arms and laid her on the bed. Then very reluctantly I moved away and went into my bedroom to sleep. I kept thinking of what I had heard. So now Anirudh was even getting on to murdering her. I had to think something.Next morning I was woken when a whole glass of water was splashed onto my face. "Heck! Who's it?! ", I shouted as I sat up rubbing my eyes. " I.. How on earth am I here?! ", I heard Akan
One Day Later - I was here at this big hotel Anirudh had booked for his wedding. Tomorrow Akansha was to marry him. I sat in my room silently. Just then Rosline walked in as a mischievous smile spread over my face as she handed me a CD. "All yours.. ", she said. " Fine then.. Come on let's see the drama. ", I said as I walked out with her following me slowly. I knocked on Akansha's door. By the way did I tell you that she had told about her being alive to nearly everyone except me? Nevertheless the door slowly opened. It was Anirudh. " Why have you come here?! ", he asked rudely (I'm used to it, everybody here speaks to me the same way) " Wanna show you something. ", I said as I walked in with Rosline while Anirudh stood perplexed. Akansha she was at the dressing table doing something with her hair and looking extremely enchanting. She immediately stopped at looked at me astonished. " Why is he here? ", she asked Anirudh. " Wants to show us something, Love ", I felt pukish a
