The loud shriek of the thunderstorm tore apart the earth as if the world was going to be destroyed tonight. The sudden roaring of the thunderstorm woke her up from her sleep. Sanaya opened her eyes and glanced at her next.
"Nick, where is he?" Sitting on the bed she yawned and rubbed her eyes, she got down from the bed. "He should have woke me up if he was going to the..." Taking some steps suddenly she noticed the surrounding.
"Wait, this is not the hospital but... How did I come back to the mansion? And where is he?" Sanaya checked in the bathroom and upon not finding him anywhere in the room she wandered out of the room. She started looking for him in the whole mansion but strange, she couldn't find him.
Sanaya stepped downstairs and just when she was about to run toward the kitchen she saw Kyle and Aiden. One was playing on his phone and the other one was sleeping on the couch.
"You guys are here
"Here, you can put these on." She passed him a shirt and sweatpants. As he took them, she glowed at him and declared, "I will cook dinner for us, well soon it will be morning haha. You change first, then you can come down ok?" He shook his head.After she left, Nick glanced at the shirt in his hand. If not for her being with him, he would probably stiffen in the rain. Stepping into the washroom, his eyes surveyed the washroom. It had her smell lingering in the air and the room was squeaky-clean and neat.Standing before the mirror he took off the wet shirt that he was wearing and put it aside. The scars on his body were gone now but he remembered all the sufferings he has gone through.Sometimes he didn't even remember what he did, when he woke up he just found out that he was hurt, sometimes he found himself lying on the floor when cracked pieces of reflector were everywhere.Now, he understood how
Nearly the dawn, the sun would peek through the curtains soon. Probably everybody in that tall building was sleeping but the one in the middle east still had lights on. "All done." Taking a yawn, she outstretched her arms. She was finally done with the dishes and she was heading toward her room now. Sanaya stepped into her room carefully on her tiptoes and the first thing she saw was him. Nick was sleeping on one side of the bed soundlessly. He seemed to be wearied.Seeing him doze, she let out a sigh. He would probably stay with her if she wouldn't have sent him forcibly.Sanaya looked at the wall clock. Tick! Tick! Tick!'Let's take a two hours sleep.' She slowly made her way towards the bed. She got on the bed slowly and then laid down. A sigh of comfort left her mouth as soon as her body enveloped the soft bed. A tough day it was!When she turned the lights off, Nick turned his head towards her. Thinking he might have been disturbed, she held onto her breath.But unlike she th
"So we went to Griffith Observatory and Griffith Park, the Getty Center, the Hollywood walk of fame, Santa Monica Pier and beach and... And right, the Original Farmers Market and The Grove, The Broad..." She was waddling his side by side and talking while their hands were intertwined. Like any other ordinary couple, they walked on the road when they had to. No cars, no limelight, nobody disturbed them. It was near dusk, and Sanaya took out her bucket list and contended while still holding his arm. "We can still go to many places. If we go to Santa Monica Pier now then we can see a classic seaside amusement park that glows with neon at the night. We can take a ride on the iconic Ferris wheel and roller coaster and then..." Sanaya stopped talking when she saw he was staring at her. Right, she had been talking so much today. "Sorry, I was checking where can we go next. Here, you decide where you wanna go next."She handed him the paper. She made a list of places she wanted to go with
"You didn’t kill them, don’t blame yourself…” she brushed his shoulder gently and asserted so.“I couldn’t save them, I was such a coward. I ran away from there…” he had his down while keeping his eyes closed. He had been blaming himself for what happened back then... This time she sat next to him and grazed his face, making him look at her. She fondled his face and affirmed, “You were not a coward, Nick. Sometimes things are out of our hand, we cannot do what we want...”“Do you think they hate me? I didn’t save them but ran away from there…”“I don’t think they hate you. But they might be sad because you are sad too…” hearing her he looked at her, looking at her eyes, he saw her looking at him as if they were talking through their eyes. Sanaya stared at the stars then holding his hand she let out, “Do you see the stars in the sky?”As she said so he gaped at the stars and saw the beautiful sky. “I wanted to hate my birth parents and also, thank them that I got to meet my mom and dad
In the heavy rain, they couldn’t go back but stay in a hotel and she got to know that the hotel belonged to Nick. All the staff greeted them with respect as soon as they saw the couple.“You go and change first,” Nick said so.“No, you will catch a cold so you go first…” she protested.“No, I won’t. So go and…”“But…”“Or maybe you want us to go in together?”“No, I… I am going.” Sanaya quickly ran into the bathroom and closed the door. Nick smiled and as someone knocked at the door, he went to open the door.She was looking in the mirror when he knocked at the door and asserted, “Here are your clothes. Change into them.”She slightly opened the door and when she was about to take the clothes from his hand her eyes caught on his body. Water was still dripping down to his wet hair and his body could be seen through his shirt as it was wet too. “Why don’t you change first? I really can wait.”“Let’s do it together then.” As he was about to enter the bathroom, she quickly took the clothe
"Ok, go with plan A." Nick hung up after talking to someone over the call. As he went around and saw Sanaya, he put the phone aside and stepped toward her. 'It was his father, Yehan Davis who wanted to kill him all these years...' The words that the man told her earlier beat in her ears again. He was walking towards her, suddenly she whirled around and wiped off her tears. He noticed her doing so."What's wrong?" Nick turned her around while seeing her tearful eyes.Better not to tryna hide it, Sanaya kneaded her face with the back of her hands and blurted out, "Something got into my eyes." She looked away and rubbed her eyes.The more she was tryna stop crying, the more it was difficult to do so. Sanaya tried holding onto her tears while covering her mouth with both her hands.His gentle touch on her shoulder got her to put her hand down to her mouth. Nick veered her around and wiped off her tears. As his finger touched her face, she couldn't help anymore. She burst out in tears and
"Miss Mona."Kyle flinched on his way to step out of the mansion as he saw Mona enter through the front gate of the big mansion.Seeing him she stopped walking and contended, "Hello, Mr. Kyle.""Hi." He added and stood like a monument while observing her.Kind of awkward cessation. "Ahh, is Mrs. Davis inside?" As she asked Kyle answered her, "No, not yet.""Ahh, ok. Then I will wait inside." To keep her company as his heart wanted to do so, he walked with her through the entrance. After talking to Sanaya, Mona was told to come to meet her at the mansion. Mona had a file holding in her hand, probably something important was in it. Seeing the file Kyle became curious to know what it was about. **More than one hour passed since they parted. Sanaya headed toward the mansion when Nick went the opposite way. Though he did not want, Kyle said that they had a meeting he must need to attend. Having no choice he went to the office and Sanaya went back to the mansion."Mrs. Elisa, please send
"What? She ran away?" Kyle looked around to check if his boss heard him. D*mn! He was about to freeze there even in such fine weather.He was already tensed imagining Nick's reaction once he would know that... From the other side of the call, Mona sounded as panicked and tensed as him. "She said she must go. I don't know where did she go, what to do now? Now, reporters are looking for her everywhere, and that fake news might have already made the audience dislike her. I can't understand... What... What to do now.""Ok, let me handle it. I will send men to find Mrs. Davis, please don't worry. We will surely find her." Kyle tried reassuring her.There, Sanaya was steering the car at the increased speed on the road. Her fingers lingered on the gear impatiently and she focused on the road. As her phone started ringing, she took a look at it and didn't bother to pick up the call. The cars on the road, and the traffic jam was eating her patience.As soon as the road started getting clear, s
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
