"Get in the car.", The stranger said. Sanaya looked at him, he seemed to be tough, she didn't see him smiling yet and he had only one expression, that was kinda scary. But he opened the car door for her like a gentleman.
"Don't you want to?", He asked her as she was standing there. Not moving at all.
"Ahh no, I…", she got in the car immediately and he sighed. On the way, Sanaya had her breathing held on when she was sitting next to him. Even though she didn't know him, she felt he was quite a cold person who doesn't talk much. They didn't talk, she didn't dare to look at him. The man was seated next to her while closing his eyes, as if he was a statue.
"Thank you Sir.", Before getting out Sanaya thanked him. He nodded his head slightly and she left the car. The man did not utter even a single word and got in the car. She turned around to see that the car was not there anymore from which she understood that it might be the last time she met that stranger.
Letting out a sigh of despair she looked at her phone, it was off. "Oh no! I forgot to charge it before leaving for the party. I should find Clara first or I'll be in real trouble. My set is dead, I am lost here. Seriously, I should not go anywhere alone until I am getting to know all the places around.", Sighing she walked in the party hall. She was walking when she saw Clara. As soon as she saw her Sanaya ran towards Clara and hugged her.
"Where were you? Are you okay?" Clara asked her in a concerned tone while hugging her.
"Yes, I am ok. I was lost. Thankfully a stranger helped me out.", Sanaya replied. She was so happy that she found her, finally.
"Omg! What exactly happened?", Clara was worried. She asked her worriedly as she looked at Sanaya.
After hearing everything Clara sighed, "Thank God someone was there. Don't go anywhere alone, ok? I will be more careful, I won't leave you alone."
"Hmm, I won't. I was scared today, I almost thought that I would not be saved but I was lucky to meet that stranger.", Sanaya smiled as she pronounced it.
"I'm so sorry Sanaya. Actually, I had got a call so I just went to the balcony. I didn't know this much would happen." Clara made a sad face. She did not know Sanaya would leave there. She thought Sanaya would be around.
"It's ok. It was my fault to walk out of here without informing you. Daniel told me not to go anywhere but I…"
"Hey, are you ok?" Suddenly running to both Sanaya and Clara, Daniel asked Sanaya. When he and Clara could not find her where she was supposed to be, they were worried about her.
"Yes I am.", Sanaya replied.
"But do you know his name? That stranger.", When Clara asked her, Sanaya then thought, yeah she didn't know his name. How could she know when he did not even talk to her on his own!
"Ahh that I don't know.", She answered.
"How about his looks? You might have seen him, right?" Clara was curious about the stranger. Who saved Sanaya but generous enough to not even ask her anything, wow.
"Hmm, I did. He is good-looking, tall, sharp-featured I think, he might be well built… he has attractive green eyes, he had a white shirt and white pants on and a… blue blazer. And…", She tried to remember how he exactly looked earlier when they met.
"Wait wait. Are you kidding?`` Clara looked at her, raising her one eyebrow.
"No, I am serious. He is the one who saved me.", Said Sanaya, showing her innocent reaction.
"And you have let him go? You have let a Greek God go just like that? Sanaya, my poor girl.You are so… ", Clara looked at her, making an awful reaction when Sanaya couldn't understand, "Then what should I have done?" Clara laughed as she asked such a question. "You could kidnap him, and then we could sell him out and get money. Then we would get rich.", Saying so Clara started laughing.
"Are you serious?", Sanaya's expression was funny. She took it seriously. As she understood that Clara was making fun of her she hit her shoulder gently.
"You girls are really very dangerous, you know?", Said Daniel. He was there, listening to their conversation.
"Yeah, we are. We can kidnap you too, but you are good at martial arts and we girls don't want to be in trouble.", Said Clara sarcastically while holding Sanaya's one arm.
Daniel was about to talk back when Clara started screaming all of a sudden, "Oh my God. He is here. I can't believe he came…"
"Huh? Whom are you talking about?", Sanaya looked in the direction Clara was looking at with her twinkling eyes but all she could see was the back of a man. Then she saw all the girls there looking at that man as if a prince was among the crowd of princesses and those princesses were about to throw themselves upon him. Sanaya was eager to know who he was.
**
"...", As soon as he (the stranger) arrived in the party hall he could hear girl's gossip. The way they were looking at him, has never changed. It was making him getting annoyed only.
The reporters were waiting eagerly for him and as soon as they saw him, they ran towards him. Before he could meet his cousin brother and uncle he was surrounded by the reporters.
He never liked being in the spotlight. He got annoyed as soon as reporters would appear in front of him. He believed reporters needed just some news even if it was not true they would easily make it crispy and hot. As reporters kept surrounding him he did not try to shoo them away but to answer them. When he was talking to the reporters one of the reporters suddenly asked him," Mr. Nick, today is Miss Tuna's birthday. Did you throw this party for her?"
"No", He answered shortly.
"What is the relationship between Miss Tuna and you? Are you guys in a relationship?" Another reporter questioned him.
"Can be said we are like siblings. She is like a little sister to me.", He answered, without changing his pale expression when his voice was cold.
People started gossiping there, even the reporters started gossiping. The man was still standing in the spotlight. Not only reporters but everybody in the party except Sanaya was shocked but happy about his answer. Girls were getting their hopes up as he announced himself as a single bachelor finally.
"But she tags you in most of her posts in social media…", one of the reporters said. He was clever and was not gonna let them make up a story that was fake.
"I don't know why as I don't have time to spend on social media. You may ask her about it.", He answered, making them trying to find their next question. The reporters started gossiping again. He didn't smile as always. It was hard to see him smiling, outsiders didn't see him smiling, NEVER. He always had a serious face, those cold eyes of his and his pale expression. Who would dare to talk to him!
"Then do you have someone you like?"As asked by another reporter his facial expression changed for a second but then he had the same cold expression.
"I do.", He said. Waw, it was the first time he said something like that. Accepting that he, the male God, had someone he liked? Everybody was more than shocked.
"Then is she present here?"
"... She is.", For the next question he immediately answered while looking at the crowd. His expression was not cold.
"Can you say what her name is? Everybody eagerly is waiting to see her…", hearing a reporter asking him that he finally smiled. No, it was more than a miracle. Wait, if there was even something called more than a miracle then. He was the man who never smiled and tonight, he was… he was smiling? People were seeing dreams?
"I won't say her name but… If you guys promise that you won't ask her anything, you guys won't make her feel uncomfortable then I will let you know who I am dating currently. She wants to lead a normal life, she doesn't like to get interviewed by reporters. I hope you guys can understand.'' those reporters' jaws dropped as they heard him. Today was their luckiest day for sure.
"Sure. We can do that.", They said enthusiastically.
"Thank you so much. I will let you guys take some photos of us when we'll be dancing together later.", Saying so he looked at the crowd again where he had his eyes only on one girl, while leaving those reporters in the hope of their promotion. The hottest news was yet to come out and there were certainties for some of the reporters to get promoted. They couldn't wait to see his girlfriend.
"You will be dancing with her later, right? So the girl you will be dancing with is your girlfriend?", A reporter asked him.
"Yes.", He said shortly. Reporters were happier than ever that they were going to get some hot news. No, they already got it but they needed photos too. They were eagerly waiting.
He walked away to the reporters, while he had that cold expression on his face. He had a powerful aura surrounding him.
"Who's she? I never heard of her before…", a beautiful tall girl was looking at him from closer. Her name is Tuna, a famous actress who had her eyes on him for many years. But unfortunately, she was never wanted by him, it's just he never said anything to her when she kept tagging him in most of her social media posts.
"Your girlfriend is here and you didn't even tell me. Why don't I know about her? You are so fishy, Nick" Maxwell walked to him while saying so.
"She is not my girlfriend.", The man who was addressed as Nick said so in a cold tone while walking past Maxwell.
"What? But you said…", Maxwell was interrupted by him as he said, "I never pronounced from my own mouth that she is my girlfriend."
"Eh? What is it then? Didn't you say you like her?" Maxwell was confused. He was following Nick behind.
"I did.", Nick replied shortly.
"Wait, you like her but she is not your girlfriend. Then are you… it means you didn't confess to her yet?" Maxwell looked at him, widening his eyes.
"What confession?" Nick looked at him while raising his one eyebrow.
"Confession… that you love her. You should tell her that you love her, and confess your feelings to her.", Maxwell said curiously. Oops, Nick was going to confess his feelings to a girl. It was going to be super fun.
"So I have a daughter in law already but I didn't even know. Well done, bravo!", A man in his fifties said so, walking towards Nick and Maxwell.
"Uncle.", Nick looked at him.
"Yes, dad. He didn't tell me either. It means we were abandoned by him. It's not fair.", Maxwell quickly walked to his dad and hid behind him. Nick looked at him, "What abandonment?"
"You have met sister-in-law but kept us in the dark. I got it, you have a girlfriend that's why you didn't come home all these months, now I know. You've abandoned us and went to see your girlfriend. And I…"
"You think too much.", Nick cut him off as he announced so. Looking at his uncle Nick said, "Uncle, I didn't tell you about her because I hadn't met her before. I just met her this evening."
"What?" His uncle looked at him with utter surprise.
"Yes."
"This evening? Wait, you just met her and you said you like her?" Maxwell was like falling to the street from the high building. He could not believe Nick's sarcastic behaviour. He might be kidding!
"Nick, do you truly like her or do you just want to play around?... Look, son, you should not play around with a woman. You know you can't hurt a woman's feelings.", His uncle knew Nick since his childhood but still, he wanted to warn him just like a guardian.
"I am not. I truly like her.", As Nick said it, his uncle smiled. Nick was quite serious but he knew that he was a good hearted person. Since he said himself that he liked her then there was nothing to worry about. He was happy so he hugged Nick, "I am glad to know that you've found someone you like. I'll be waiting to meet her as well."
"Thank you, uncle.", Said Nick, hugging him.
Nick was looking at the woman who was talking to her friends while smiling, she was wearing an off-shoulder burgundy lace prom dress. Seeing her smiling he smiled but his smile was not showing his love for her or his feelings for her but it was something else, as he saw Maxwell to look at him his smile fed away.
Sanaya was busy talking to Clara when Clara started screaming all of a sudden. Confused, Sanaya couldn't understand why she was screaming all of a sudden."What's wrong?", She asked her."He is coming this way. Omg! He is coming this way. I can't believe this. Is it a dream?`` Clara was behaving strangely. Poor Sanaya asked her, "Who's coming? Are you okay?""Our male God… ", Clara announced while touching her cheeks with both of her hands. Sanaya was totally surprised by her sudden anxiousness. When she was about to ask her what's wrong, someone from behind said, "Miss Sanaya."Sanaya turned around, her expression changed immediately. Everybody's eyes were focused on Sanaya, among all the beauties he chose her. Omg! When everybody was thinking he chose her Sanaya was thinking how did he know her name."May I dance with you?", Women went crazy when he asked Sanaya for her hand. Sanaya c
"So this is what happened, I see. Now I got it.", Gradually Clara's excitement subsided as Sanaya told her everything."Yeah. We have no relationship. They were just exaggerating it. That's all.", When Sanaya and Clara were about to leave the party hall Clara's friends were super curious, they kept asking Sanaya if Sanaya was really his girlfriend or what was the relationship between them. Clara was clever so they finally could get out of there."Ok ok. The day after tomorrow you have a job interview. You should not waste your time thinking about these things now. Think about the preparation for your first job interview. Go to sleep now. Good night.", Saying so, Clara got up to bed. Sanaya pronounced, "Hmm, good night.""Tomorrow, it will be a good day.", Lying on the bed Sanaya looked at the roof. Tonight was somewhat unique but that might have ended there, thinking so she closed her eyes. But those green eyes, she coul
Nick left. He didn't knock at the door again nor he was waiting for her.As Sanaya didn't get any call from Nick like Clara told her that he might call her, Sanaya was relaxed.It was the next day when she was going to a job interview, before leaving she looked at the mirror again to rehearse as it was her first job interview."Best of luck, girl. You can do it." Hearing good luck wishes from Clara Sanaya felt less nervous. To the interview venue, she kept encouraging herself. There were many more people to get the job, she was not sure whether she was going to get a chance even. All she wanted was to try her best and work for the top company in the city.She inhaled and exhaled while trying to calm herself. She was not even so nervous in her tenth-grade final exam but for her first job interview, she was damn nervous.From the outside, she was not but inside, she was NERVOUS. Before entering the interview room she breat
Nick let Sanaya go easily. Strange! He acted as if he believed her, he didn't utter any more words. She had a smile on her face as her task was accomplished."Are you sure he believed you? I think he'll come back soon.", Clara asked her, she couldn't believe she just fooled someone like Nicolas Davis.Sanaya had a sinister smile as she shot, "Of Course he did. I am good at lying after all.""You? Good at lying? I think I have heard it wrong. The Sanaya I know is bad at lying. And the idea of yours. I don't think someone like Mr. Nick will buy it.", Hearing Clara her smile fed away.It was not like she did not think of it. And true to say, she was a bit upset when she saw he gave up, he told her to go."Don't think too much. He might believe it. I was just kidding.", Clara could not see her sadness. She just wanted to console her but deep down she had a bad feeling that he was abo
"What--what are you doing?" Sanaya started trudging backward as he was stepping forward. He was making her nervous."Nothing much. I just want to test it, `` he asserted, not moving his eyes off her."Test? Test what?", She glanced at him questioningly but she was not getting a good feeling by the way he was looking at her. He was definitely thinking of doing something. Oh no! Did he understand her lying? She bit her tongue. Oh god, no. She prayed to her God."Whether you are really into girls or not.", He smirked devilishly as he kept strolling forward. Sanaya wanted to run away. Wait, what! He wanted to test whether she was interested in girls or… which means he was going to… NO!!! Sanaya thought she would push him away and run away when he held her hand and pushed her to the wall suddenly, making her more nervous.Sanaya swallowed hard as his eyes met her, his breathing was touching her forehead n
"What? You… you told him that you are a sapphist?" Clara could not wield her laughter as Sanaya explained everything. She was laughing, she kept laughing constantly. It was super funny."What else could I say? I could not think of any other good excuse so I came up with this one but who knew he would… thank god I have managed to make him believe me.""Well, we can not tell if he really believed you. But you are beautiful, hot, and sexy. It wouldn't be unbelievable if you were really a… I would happily want to be your girlfriend.", throwing a pillow at Clara Sanaya announced, "I'll throw you in the lake of moon pavilion!"But Clara was laughing more when Sanaya sat on the bed with a poker face. Sanaya was thinking of him. She did not want to live on false hope, before also he acted as if he believed her but later he just proved her wrong. "I need to avoid him if I meet him again. He is such a danger,
That day Sanaya went home and told Clara everything that happened. Clara was staring at her with a stunned look."What! Why are you giving me that look?" Sanaya questioned, putting on a facial mask."Nothing. I just feel like next time I'm in trouble, I should call you to save me.", She was still laughing. Getting irked, Sanaya walked to the kitchen."You abstained from getting in the elevator when he asked you. I can not even imagine what that scene was like. Did you notice his reaction? He might be angry at you so you better not say no to him again." Clara followed her to the kitchen."Are you kidding me? I will say no again even if he wants me to run for an hour, I would like to do it but I won't let him think that he is superior, he can not make me do what he wants! And I am not going to marry him. NO WAY!!!" Sanaya took a knife and gazed at it devilishly. Clara gulped and said, "Yes, yes. I know
Sanaya had lost her mind. While wandering to her desk she had her clenched fists. What did she do! Now it was proven that she was not interested in girls, she lied. Nick could easily make her fall into his ambushes.She wanted to kill herself for being so stupid, how could she just fall for his trap that easily? O damn! She needed to jump in the pool to cool herself down.Settling on the chair she put her elbow on the desk then she touched her cheeks with both of her hands. "I need to calm down." She inhaled a lot of air in her lungs and then exhaled them. She was muttering something when one of her colleagues put a file on her desk and she glimmered denoting, "Boss might be very demanding…""Huh?" Sanaya gave her a confused look. She couldn't possibly show them that she was hot-headed. But she saw everybody there looking at her. Except for her everybody there knew what exactly happened to make them look at her in
It was time for vidai(farewell). Spending time here, Nick didn’t feel like they were Sanaya’s family only but not his. They gave him so much love and warmth that he couldn’t be happier. It was more than enough for him to be grateful. He got all the love that he lacked from his own family. Her father was his father so her mother was, and even her uncle and aunt loved him not excluding her cousin sisters, and brothers. After all these years she didn’t know that Suraj would change. Whether it was because Nick was wealthy and from a different background than he could never reach but she was happy regardless of the reason.Today, she wore a beautiful but simple saree and she wore everything that a Bengali wife could wear. She had her wedding ring on her ring finger while Nick wore branded suit and blazer. He looked elegant so did she, They looked perfect together. The couple was walking down the stairs when all the members were waiting for them. It was time to bid goodbye.One by one all
“Dad, then you were just…”“Or what did you think? Of course, I accept him. Your mom told me everything. Even if he would not come, we would stop the wedding. But he came like a hero. How can I dislike him.” Hearing her dad say so, Sanaya hugged her dad. “Thanks, Dad, I thought you…”“Virat is very cunning. He manipulated her but thankfully, it didn’t work. Your mom told me everything and later, I told her to do what he told her to do but we had plan b…”“He even dared to manipulate grandpa.”Hearing her, her dad as if fell from the up sky. He stared at her confused, “Your grandpa too?”“Yeah, yesterday I got to know that grandpa never told him to kill Nick. It was all Virat’s plan all along. He threatened me with Nick and said that grandpa was behind it. He said grandpa wanted me to divorce him or he would make sure that Nick would be killed so I had to fake the divorce thingy... I thought maybe…now I know we should always talk it out rather than believe in what we see. Sometimes wha
Sanaya's whole family, including her long-distance relatives, were more than shocked when they got to hear that he was her husband."So, you guys are married for more than two years already?""No, he is lying. They... They are already divorced." Virat walked toward them while trying to explain things.As he took a step toward Sanaya, Nick held her hand and stood before her, making sure Virat could not reach her. "Divorced? Who told you that may I know? Mr. Virat. Of course, if you don't mind.""I... I know that. She signed the papers, I saw it with my own eyes... I mean..." Suddenly understanding what he was saying as Virat put his hand over his mouth while looking for alternatives Nick couldn't help but giggle.When Virat was about to say something, he only chose to keep his mouth shut for some time. Nick in a serious tone asserted, "I think you didn't expect this to happen so soon... Don't worry, you will be getting more now than you imagined. ""What?" Virat was surprised. What did
"What did you say?""I said I am pregnant with my husband's child so I..."Slap!Sanaya was nudged back as the old man slapped her all of a sudden. Thankfully Sanaya's dad quickly ran to her and gave her a backup."Dad, she is pregnant." Her dad asserted so while looking at her worriedly."Get rid of the child as soon as possible!" The old man scattered. There were not many people present. The old man, her mom and dad, Virat and his parents. Sanaya faked a smile and blurted out, "This is my child. I wanna see who dares to do that.""You! How dare you! Not only shameless, but you also forgot manners. How could you bring shame to our family?"Sanaya heard him. "Dad, what are you saying? She is married, she didn't bring any...""You keep quiet! Stay out of this!" The old man contended that in a cold tone."But dad..." Sanaya's dad lowered his head and looked at his daughter. All his life he respected his dad, he couldn't talk back to him as he had honored him but today..."Today, you w
"How dare you! Take this brat out of here! I don't want to see her here!" In the dining room, the old man was so furious that he threw a glass of water at her face in resentment."Dad..." Sanaya's dad and uncle ran to Sanaya to check if she was ok. But Sanaya stood up on her own, she did not wait for another second.Not giving a d*mn she swerved away while saying, "I am ok. I will go back to my room." She wandered away.More than a month passed since she came back to India and since then she did what she wanted to do. Her grandpa got angry at her every day to the extent that he just wanted her to get married as soon as possible.Sanaya spend time with her beloved family, her parents, her uncle, and her brother who loved her. It was another night when she ignored Virat again and went to parties.In the night when everybody was sleeping, she came back home. Thinking everyone was sleeping, she walked toward the room where her grandpa was staying at."Come in!" Knocking at the door as the
Back to India"Young Miss? Is it really you?" Aunt Diya had been working here for such a long time. She was more like a family member than just a maid.Seeing Sanaya Diya couldn't hold onto her tears. She quickly hugged her and cried out, "You are finally back. Miss, we all missed you so much. How have been these past two years?""I have been good. How have you been?" The first she met after coming back here was Diya but she was eagerly waiting to see the one person whom she was so desperate to meet now."Diya, who's it... San." Hearing the familiar voice tone as Sanaya twirled her head, she saw her... Her mother. Without wasting any time she ran to her mom's hug. "Maa." On the way to her home from the LA she had thought of meeting her parents first, she missed them so much."San, it's you. You are finally back, my dear."The home she had once left knowing there was less possibility of her coming back here... Sanaya somehow couldn't feel that warmth from this house anymore. One by one
"Sis, but..." Mona was out of words as she heard Sanaya. She did not what to do. It was already unexpected to the extent that she would like to think it was only imagination but..."Do as I am saying. Get the divorce papers ready and book my flight by tonight." Sanaya ordered so in a serious tone. Mona's jaw plummeted as she heard her."Sis, are you going back to India?" Sanaya stared at the space, she was enumerating something."I know I am talking out of place. But sis, I know you love Mr. Davis more than your life. Is there something that you have to divorce him and even go back to India? And why so soon..."Mona looked down as Sanaya hurled a paper on the table angrily. "That shouldn't be your concern. Do as I am saying and remember apart from us, nobody should know about it. Got it?"Mona saw the cold stares of hers. Yeah, she could be sad and maybe angry too, but why that look? Mona couldn't ask her any more questions but left the room.It was too much for her to understand and
"Mrs. Davis is out of danger now but Mr. Davis..." Standing outside the room where Sanaya was admitted, Aiden let out a sigh. Behind him, Kyle and Mona also joined him. Some days passed like a cold wind breezing in the whole city and sipping it in one go."Doctor said she will wake up today. Later when she will wake up, she will be very sad." Mona let out a sigh of animosity. These past days, everybody prayed for the good but yet, things were not meant to be like that...Seeing Mona shed tears Kyle wandered to her and tried soothing her, "Don't worry, everything will be ok. When she wakes up, we...""Mrs. Davis is moving," Aiden screamed out loudly and trotted inside the room, everybody followed him behind.It felt like a long journey. Sanaya slowly opened her eyes, the lights in the room felt too radiant for her eyes. She turned her head to her left to ignore the bright lights."Mrs. Davis, you finally woke up." Mona couldn't be cheerfuller. She immediately hugged her and shed tears
"But Mr. Davis..." "No but. Do as I am saying. Take her to the hospital, go!" Some men died and some were still fighting. Nick smooched Sanaya who was sleeping in his arms and then handed her to Kyle. The shooter who shot her was now lying dead on the floor. And Nick was gonna punish every single soul out there who wanted to kill her and harm her.His men were shielding the way so Kyle could leave with Sanaya but just when he kept his leg outward, someone aspired to stab him. Before the man could be successful in stabbing him, suddenly Nick protected them. He stood behind him and the man stabbed him in the back."Mr. Davis," Aiden whined. Kyle swerved around and seeing him he shouted out, "Mr. Davis.""Go. Go faster! You must reach the hospital! Just go!" He shoved him out of the place. Nick could see her only one last time before Kyle drifted around and ran from there. Nick couldn't help but sit on the ground, in pain.As Aiden ran to Nick, the bald man was about to tell his guys t
