AUTHOR'S POV1 more year later..."Come on, you're already 15 mins late" her friend, Aastha shouted at her over the phone."About 10 mins" Yami started to respond just as she noticed someone else entered the auto she had managed to convoke. She took off after it."Hey, hey! It was my auto, sir. I made the initial call"And like every time...Nobody gave her any attention.The man boarded the vehicle and the driver took off.Yami started muttering colourful words about the rude and mannerless people around her. She was losing her patience with the current state of the world."How long again?" Aastha questioned."30 mins" she replied sheepishly."You know what don't come! You'll miss half of the movie so no use in coming!" Aastha shouted resulting in Yami shifting the phone away from her ear."Hey it's not half, it's 1/3rd of the movie and..." Yami stopped looking at the blank phone."Hello? Aastha? Aasthu?"And here it goes again!One more result of her carelessness and clumsy af natur
YAMI VERMAUff mere dil me thodi khali si jagah thiUff tune aake bin kiraye ye jagah liKuch keh bhi na saki ye kaisi bebasiYu chupke chupke aaya bin bulaye mehmaanUff mere dil me thodi khali si jagah thi...I was dancing with Hrithik Roshan and suddenly a sharp pain insulated through my spine and my eyes popped out of my sockets like marbles.After coming out of the shock and rubbing my eyes for a few seconds, I understood what happened.I fell!From the bed!Yeah, a 21-year-old ADULT fell from the bed.I stood up rubbing my butt and cursing my lucky stars.I used to think that waking up to the annoying beeping sound of my alarm clock is the worst thing ever, but falling from the bed that too when you were dancing with your love is the worstest (if this word exists lol).HOLY CHEESECAKE! It's already 8 and I have an interview at 9 today. I am gonna be late if I don't hurry up and leave my man. I am sorry baby.I really need a job right now and I cannot afford to lose this opportun
ABHIMANYU DUTTA"Of course, Mr.Dutta" she replied.Although my eyes were on the screen, still I can sense that she was pissed.A chuckle escaped my mouth involuntarily as I shook my head.Although her resume stated that she was 21 but nobody can believe that she is a day older than 17.Her small barely shoulder-length hair was making her look more younger.And who these days makes these childish hairstyles that too for an interview.Her hair was complete opposite to my Ita's waist-length hair.But still, their antics were the same. Crazy.Although I didn't want I can't help but compare them.They were completely opposite.Except for their passion for baking.I am comparing them doesn't mean that I am ready to give my heart to someone else.It was. It is. And it will always belong to my Ita.The rest of the day passed in a blur.I stretched my limbs to calm my sore muscles.I smiled at the photo frame placed on my desk.It is from our college days. We were facing the sunset at the beac
YAMI VERMAAfter making his "Black coffee" I made my way toward his cabin.He was talking to someone as I entered his cabin after knocking.I was about to leave his cabin after placing his coffee on his desk but he motioned me to wait with his fingers.I nodded and stood there waiting for him.He was just humming to whatever the caller was saying.Mr. Great Abhimanyu Dutta, don't know English?I was tapping my feet looking at the beautiful tiles on the floor.There are total 73 tiles on the floor.26 black.20 grey.And 27 whi...I was busy with my work when he cleared his throat, probably to gain my attention.I looked up and he was standing there with his hands in his pockets with his famous blank look."Ms. Verma, I just wanted to remind you that start working on the presentation. It is very important" there he goes again."For sure, Mr. Dutta" I tried to cover my bored tone.Who wants to make a ppt? I just can't wait to leave this job once I gain some experience."And...Ms. Verma,
AUTHOR'S POVHe slowly opened the door of her cabin and roamed his eyes to find her.He spotted her on the couch near the window.She was cocooned with her head dipped in her legs. Her body was shaking indicating that she was crying.He can fight the entire world for her but who will give him the power to fight her?A very familiar feeling which he probably felt 7 years ago last time i.e. his heart being stabbed with thousands of knives passed him.She is his strength and he will never let her become his weakness.She is very different from her, but in case of being emotional, nobody can beat them.He chuckled dryly at his thought.He slowly moved towards the couch and sat in front of her.With trembling hands, he touched her arm.She stilled. Her sobs halted.After a few seconds, she looked up.Their eyes met, they did. But like land and sky, they seem to be very near but yet very far.Her face was red.Her eyes were tired.Her head was hurting furiously. It never happened his way be
AUTHOR'S POV"Aasthu!" Yami shouted as soon as she slumped on the bed after having dinner."Bitch you'll tear my eardrums!" Aastha hissed in return but do you think it had any effect on Yami? NO."You know what I saw today?" Yami asked completely ignoring the previous sentence."Oh, I am really sorry I was not with you the entire day. You know I have a job to do. I will resign today itself and be with you from tomorrow so that I don't miss what you see every day" she rolled her eyes sarcastically."You know Aastha, you are the worst best friend ever! You are mannerless but the great person I am, I will forgive you" Yami proudly said."Haha. Thanks, my lord" Aastha mocked."Btw what you saw?" she asked."I saw Laksh at the company today" she replied excitedly coming back to the topic."Really? What he was doing there? he said he had a very important meeting today" Aastha frowned."And that meeting was with my Boss" she replied."Oh..." Aastha hummed."Btw what are you doing?" she asked
AUTHOR'S POV"Who is she?" She asked in her trembling voice.He frowned and looked back. He followed her gaze and found it on the photo frame placed on his desk.He sighed and closed his laptop.He took the photo frame in his hands and caressed it with a smile."My wife" he whispered with so much love and adoration that her heart nearly gave up.Somewhere she was expecting a similar answer but when he said it himself, she felt heartbroken, and the last string of hope broke. The reason? She didn't know herself. Love? What's the use now?The sun was setting outside just like her feelings."You are married?" she wanted to confirm although everything was crystal clear already."Yes. It's been 2 years" he replied still looking at the photo with a smile.His eyes conveyed how deeply he was in love. Love that was not for her.She smiled. A sad one. What she was expecting? A lifetime commitment? In hardly 2 weeks of knowing each other?Her respect for him increased more. These days who loves
AUTHOR'S POVIt was 2 weeks since that day. Since the day she came to know a very important part of his life. And honestly, it didn't have any effect on Yami's feelings. In fact, it increased way more with a mixture of respect and admiration this time.She didn't feel hurt secretly watching him smiling at the photo on his desk. If truth is to be told, she used to imagine that if a photo without a face can bring so much love into his eyes, then how amazing of a person his wife would have been.Now, it was love. A pure and mature love without expecting anything in return. The quality she learned from him only. And that is what makes it even more beautiful.When it is a crush, you get jealous, you only think about your happiness, and it's only limited to your comfort zone. But when you start loving someone, you smile when the other person smiles even if the reason behind that smile is someone else."Tired?" he asked leaning against her Cabin's door frame as he saw her rubbing her eyes."
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
AUTHOR'S POV1 month later..."Mr. Vyas, I am going home early today" Abhimanyu informed his PA closing his laptop.Mr. Vyas, his previous PA was back. 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
AUTHOR'S POV"Are you happy, Maan?" she asked."Of course Yami, I am very happy" he gave her a confused smile."Are you all happy?" she asked everyone leaving his shoulders.They looked at each other in confusion."Of course we are" they replied."Oh, why not? 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
