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 POV2 months later..."Congratulations Mr. Dutta, I am so proud of you for cracking this deal" Veer patted Abhimanyu's back sitting on the handle of the chair on which he was sitting.Abhimanyu rolled his eyes and pushes him away."Owww!!" Veer screamed in pain as he fell to the ground.Ruhanika and Yami giggled seeing the bickering between the siblings."Ruhi take your husband away otherwise he will get a good beating from me" Abhi warned working on the laptop."Bhai, it's already 3 pm and you yourself gave half day to all the employees" Veer whined."Yeah, so go away before I give you more work" he said making Veer shake his head vigorously."I am going. I am going" he raised his hands in surrender."Umm....Bhai, me and Ruhi will come late today" Veer muttered scratching his neck.Yami looked at Ruhi with a teasing smirk which made her blush."Ok go" Abhi said with a chuckle not able to control it anymore."Bye Bhai!" Veer kissed his cheek and ran away holding Ruhi's hand.
"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
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
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 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 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
