No response.She followed him outside while he took long strides towards his car."Maan?" She called him again. Again, no response."Maan, I am asking you something. Answer me" she asked raising her voice a bit, not feeling good about what he might do in his anger."YOU ARE NOT IN THE PLACE TO QUESTION ME MS. ADVAITA VERMA. YOU LOST THAT RIGHT FEW HOURS AGO" he shouted sitting inside the car and went away.She looked at the disappearing car as a sob escaped her mouth.She went inside defeatedly.She broke down instantly reaching inside seeing 5 pairs of hopeful eyes.Everyone ran towards her."Di, please don't cry" Veer pleaded rubbing her ba
AUTHOR'S POVShe knitted her eyebrows in irritation when she felt something bright falling on her eyes.She felt cold. The warmness was gone.She rubbed her eyes and opened them slowly.She blinked a few times to adjust to the sun's brightness coming from the window.She looked beside her and sighed.She knew. She knew he will leave once he will be sober and that's exactly what happened.He left her. Alone.She heard a knock and saw Disha standing there."Disha?" she said as she walked to the bed and sat beside her."Abhi Bhai is downstairs. Go and freshen up. I bought you something to eat" she said monotonously."Disha, are you angry?" she asked with sadness evident in her voice."Why do you care?" she asked back with raised eyebrows.She doesn't like the way she was talking to her.She was talking to her as if she was a stranger."You're talking to me like I am a stranger" she said looking down at her lap."It's you who think of me as a stranger. Not me. You hurt me a lot. You insul

Yes, baby?" he placed his phone aside listening to her shout."When we will get married?" she pouted placing her head on his shoulder."Maybe in 5-6 years. Why?" he replied with a chuckle."That's long. But whenever it will be, I want my Mehendi dress green, Haldi yellow, and wedding red. Just like they are traditionally" she said dreamily, already planning her entire wedding in her head.He chuckled pulling her cheeks."As you wish, my love..."And he remembered.She smiled at the memory from their college days.The dress was green. Not so heavy. Just like the way she imagined."I know Maan you are angry. But I also know that you love me. And I promise I will gain your forgiveness before marriage" her thoughts were determined.She heard opening of the door and when she looked

AUTHOR'S POV"You really thought that you can get away from me?" he took predatory steps forward, towards her.She gulped seeing his dilated pupils as she moved backward in response.Her back touched the wall as he wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her to his chest."You really thought you will marry someone else and I will let you?" he whispered near her ear.Her heartbeat increased hearing him."You were wrong my love. You are mine. Just mine" he said huskily.Her heart was dancing listening to him."I love you, Ms. Advaita Verma" he said directly looking into her eyes."I love you too, Mr. Siddharth Malhotra" she said smiling back...SIDDARTH MALHOTRA???She smiled in her sleep and hugged her pillow close to herself.She furrowed her brows in irritation when she heard someone knocking on her window and calling her in a hushed tone.She woke up irritatedly rubbing her eyes just to murder the person who broke her beautiful dream.She looked towards the window and saw only
AUTHOR'S POV"Bhai, abhi bhi time hai, bhaag ja" Virat whispered in Abhimanyu's ear.(Brother, you still have time, run away)Everyone started laughing when he received a slap from Piya who was standing beside them.Abhimanyu was chuckling too, focusing on the holy fire in front of him when everything went silent. The crowded hall suddenly prevailed silence.He looked in the direction everyone was looking and his breath hitched when the sound of bangles occupied the entire hall.Everything started disappearing for him and she was the only thing he could see.Cladded in the red lehenga which was his choice, she looked unreal to be in this world.And things got more messed up when her eyes got connected with his and... she smiled.Uff that one smile!He drank her beauty from top to bottom as much as he can. He was paralyzed to take off his eyes from his surreal beauty.She looked exactly like a freshly bloomed red rose. And that smile...uff...it was like the morning dew drops on the ros
AUTHOR'S POV"27""28""29""30""Argh! Finally!" Abhimanyu sighed moving back while stretching his muscles."31" Advaita smiled sheepishly handing him one more hair clip."I am still shocked that how can these many clips fit into your small head" he looked at the heap of clips on the dressing table and then at her head.She giggled shaking her head to free her head from the bun and her waist-length hair fell freely on her back."Now, the next task is this lehenga" she sighed and stood up to go to the washroom.But before she could move even a step away from the dressing table, she was already trapped between the dressing table and two bulky arms."Well, I can help you with that too" he said huskily pulling her closer by her unclothed waist."Pervert" she hit his shoulder while he was busy nibbling her neck with his mouth."As I did 5 years ago" he smirked in her neck making her choke on her words."You are so shameless!" she pushed him away making him chuckle a bit.But his chuckle s
AUTHOR'S POV1 month later...."Ita, where is my watch!" Abhimanyu shouted opening every possible drawer present in the entire room."Left drawer in the cupboard" she shouted from the kitchen."Ita, where is my wallet!" he again shouted removing the bedsheets as if the bed gulped his wallet."In the bedside drawer!" she shouted back."Ita, where are my socks yaar!" he shouted in irritation throwing all the clothes out of the cupboard."Aree! It's in the cupboard only" her voice echoed all the way from the kitchen."I can't find it!" he pouted like a kid looking at the pile of clothes in front of him."It's been in the same place for the past 1 month. Why can't you fin...." She came wiping her hands in the kitchen towel but stopped midway when found their entire room turned upside down."Mr. Dutta! I am going to beat you today!" she yelled making her way through the pile of clothes, towards him."Becoming kinky, are we?" he smirked snaking his arms around her waist."Leave me!" she sla
AUTHOR'S POV"Aiyoo, your baby is so fat!" she huffed trying to pull the dress down her stomach."Hey, don't bad mouth about my baby" Abhimanyu said not looking up from his laptop.Churr...He heard a ripping sound and looked up from his laptop.She was looking at him with wide eyes standing still.She looked down slowly at her now-torn dress."Hey hey it's fine" he ran to her exactly knowing what was next to come.Her eyes were brimming with tears."It was my favorite dress" she sobbed."I will buy you a new one" he rubbed her back."It got it on sale" she sobbed more."No worries. I will buy you a more beautiful one' he comforted her."Really?" she asked looking at his face."Of course, love' he smiled."Ok. Buy 3" she smiled wiping her tears.He looked at her in disbelief. Yeah, that's what pregnancy hormones do to you. Not that she was any better before."Where are you going?" he asked as she again walked to the closet."To get a new dress" she shrugged searching for a new dress f
AUTHOR'S POVHer eyelids flickered a little as a shadow block out the morning sunlight which was warming her eyelids with a soft red glow.A gentle breath gently caressed her baby soft cheeks which was of the man beside her.Strong muscular arms gently tucked themselves under her body as calloused fingers softly brushed back the tangle locks spread across her face which were disturbing his view of heaven."Good morning, love" his deep and grave morning voice whispered in her ear. His warm lips touching the nap of her neck sent shivers of pleasure down her spine.A soft moan escaped her although she tried her best to pretend that she was still asleep.She kept her eyes closed as he traveled down her neck, then her stomach, he lifted his shirt which she was wearing to her breast. His mouth moved across her breast, stomach, and thighs leaving a trail of kisses in the wake of his descent.Suddenly he stopped."Why did you stop?" she opened her eyes rather in irritation."I thought you are

He has been working in another department of the company till now."Sure. Have a good day, Sir" he smiled and went out closing the door.He came down to the parking lot and sat inside his car.His eyes fell on the ring on his ring finger and a smile spread across his lips.He kissed the ring and started the car, pulling out from the parking lot.After almost 45 mins drive, he reached a deserted house.Away from the city life...Away from the hustle bustle of the city...He parked the car and went to the garden.He crouched down on his knees and caressed the small mango tree."You are growing fast" he smiled watering it from the watering can placed beside it.He then moved towards the backyard and switched on the fairy lights which immediately brightened the entire area.Removing his shoes and taking a packet from the rack he moved towa

You all must be very happy. After all, playing with my life must be really fun" she let out a laugh that shocked everybody to the core. Most shocked was Abhimanyu."Yami..." he tried touching her."Not now Mr. Abhimanyu Dutta. Let me speak today. After all, it's my 22nd birthday. Oops! Sorry 27th" she moved away and showed her palm to stop him.All of them gulped sensing the hurt in her voice. It's out. Their secret was out."Umm... let's start with my best friend, Aastha" she smiled and moved towards her.Aastha gulped seeing Yami approach her."Aastha, my best friend, and Laksh, may I know what's the procedure to change your names? I guess it's pretty long right?" she curiously asked them."Yami..." both of them tried to justi
AUTHOR'S POV2 months later..."Yami, is Kapoor's contract ready?" Abhimanyu asked running his eyes through some documents."Yes Mr. Dutta" Yami replied noting down something in her notepad."Mr. Dutta, you have a lunch meeting with Dixit's at 2 pm" she informed."Cancel it" he straightly ordered without looking up from the documents."Why?" she furrowed her brows in confusion."I have some personal work" he replied finally looking up."Can I know your "Personal work" Mr. Dutta?" she sweetly asked.He smirked and walked towards her."I have to take my girlfriend on a lunch date" he replied wrapping his hands around her waist."Oh, so you have a girlfriend and still touching your PA inappropriately?" she raised her brows."She doesn't need to know" he replied tracing her lips with his thumb."Are you going to cheat on her?" she asked seductively tracing his jaw."Maybe" he directly looked into her eyes."Ok then" she said and pulled his collar for a passionate kiss.He too replied with
AUTHOR'S POVThere was silence between them. So profound was their love for each other, they needed no words to express it. And so, they sat in silence, on the swing in the backyard, with her head on his shoulder, with their bodies touching, holding hands in the moonlight."Do you really love me?" she finally spoke.He knew something like this will come, sooner or later."You know I love you, Yami" he sighed still not looking at her face."How much do you love me, Maan?" Once more she spoke and he looked at her in surprise."What did you call me?" he asked"Maan? I hope you don't mind. I just wanted to give you a nickname" she bit her lips."I like it" he gave her a small smile and caressed her cheek with his thumb and again stared at the moon."How much do you love me?" she again asked impatiently looking at his face when he didn't answer her the first time. Like any other girl, she was insecure too."What type of question is this, Yami? How much do I love you? Count the stars in the
AUTHOR'S POV"Because you are mine" he said possessively capturing her between him and the wall. He watched her with his eyes glinting dangerously. They were close, really close that even air can hardly pass.Yami felt her throat getting dry. Her heart started pounding loudly that it can easily be heard in the silence possessed by the room.No, she is not going to believe that it is a dream, after all, she is no kid. She knew it is happening, she just didn't know how to respond.On the other hand, he is not regretting it, it was necessary. After all, he was the victim of love for the second time. And now he didn't want to be the victim of separation for the second time.His first love was filled with sweetness and laughter along with passion. He never expected he would go through something like this ever.Advaita had brought out tenderness and protectiveness in him. But Yami made him want to possess her in ways that can only be termed as dark obsession and he himself didn't know to wh
AUTHOR'S POVThe car pulled up in front of a high-rise building.He gave her a smile before opening the car door for her like a gentleman.She softly placed her hand in his and thousands of butterflies erupted in her stomach at that moment. His hand was rough but soothing at the same time. The one she can hold on for the rest of her life.As they were walking towards the venue, she stumbled due to her heels."Careful" he held her waist to prevent her from falling.While they were busy drowning in each other's eyes, they heard someone clear his throat.Yami immediately stood straight seeing a family of 3.Meanwhile, Abhimanyu just rolled his eyes seeing Virat who was giving him a teasing smirk.But his heart instantly melted seeing 1-year-old Vedant who was looking at Yami with his button eyes trying to recognize this new human he had seen for the first time."He is so cute" Yami giggled as Vedant threw his hands towards Yami to hold him.Piya passed him to Yami laughing and surprised
"Won't you give me a home tour?" She clapped her hands and talked to the fishes in a baby voice. But Abhimanyu can easily sense that indirect tone in her voice."Come" he chuckled shaking his head and stood up dusting his pants.She giggled and stood up mimicking his actions."This is the living room" he showed her the living room which was small but cute."Wow" she looked around open-mouthed.After that, he showed her Veer and Ruhi's room and the guest room."And this is my room" he opened the door to his room as she walked inside.The room was a mixture of cream and light brown.The walls were empty except for the wall designs.There were plants on both sides of the bed."So simple yet beautiful" she exclaimed."It was all her choice. Her bakery is also like this" he sighed with a smile placing his hands in his pant pockets."She used to own a bakery?" her voice came out really shocked.He hummed."She was into baking?" she asked"She still is..." he replied looking at the empty wal
