Atharva's POV
My heart skipped a beat when she touched me.
Before this I have forcefully grabbed her. This was the first time that she has willingly held my hand and her touch was enough to heal all my wounds. The moment she came in contact with me, all my wrath vanished into thin air.
Her soft fingers were acting as cotton and her heavy breaths as the ointment to my wound. One by one she plucked every glass piece and rubbed my scratches with her thumb. It was feeling like she is touching my heart and healing it's every wound. Her expressions were as if not me but she is in the pain. And if this is called pain then I am ready to feel this pain forever.
There is something in her face that keeps my eyes stick on her. She has come as a light in my dark life. She has given that peace to my heart for which I was cravin
SHREYA'S POV I was not able to sleep the whole night. All the events of the day were continuously roaming in my mind."Shreya be fast beta, otherwise, you will be late""Yes Mumma, coming"It was 10:30 AM and at 11:00 AM someone will come to pick me up.For today I was free from formalsI decided to wear a simple and casual full-length frock for the journey. It was one of my favorite dresses as it hugs my body perfectly and is hell comfortable.As the weather was nice, I left my hair open for the day, wore my wristwatch, applied some perfume, and my fav cherry lip balm.We will reach the hotel at around 2:30 PM and the meeting will commence at 4:00 PM. So I will be having enough time to change my dress. I have packed a formal dress and some casuals.
Shreya's POVIf I say that I am sleeping with open eyes, will you believe me?No!But this is exactly what I am doing for the past 2 hours. I am not getting why that kukkad has brought me here. I have nothing to do other than just sit, listen, and a nod to their boring lectures. This is reminding me of my college days where we don't care what the professors are saying, we just stay busy in our telepathy or doing chats by writing and drawing pictures of the professors on the end page of the notebook and sometimes having lunch before the break too. Haha. Those were the days.But I don't have any buddy here with whom I can do all this. I have to tolerate this torture and that too with a sweet wide smile."With this, I would like to end this meeting here. Thank you, everyone, for your presen
Atharva's POV I returned to the mall in just 20 minutes after completing my work because the place was near to the mall.I searched for my butterfly in the lady's dress section and she was drawing her fingers on a navy blue dress so lovingly. I looked at her from the position where she could not see me.I think she liked the dress and I believe it will look fabulous on her. I want to look her in this outfit.A frown appeared on her face after looking at the price tag and then she moved ahead. I think it is expensive for her.When she was out of my sight I looked for its price and it was 18000. But it is not that expensive. Anyway, I called a girl from the staff and told her to change the price tag to 8000, show this dress to her and convince her to buy the dress. I ordered her not to utter
SHREYA'S POV I was in my sweet dreams and the song 'Love you Zindagi' was playing in the background.Although I love this song but at this time I was getting irritated because it was ringing again and again, disturbing my sleep. So I decided to open my eyes to stop that dream there and to start with a new one.Am I still in the dream because the song has not stopped yet?"Oh
Atharva's POV My eyes fall on my butterfly when I stepped out of the bathroom.She was looking super duper cute in her morning face with a bird's nest on her head, sleepy eyes and oversized shirt, and pajama.Her eyes were roaming at my body so I asked 'like what you see?' Just to tease her.She instantly turned and bang her head with the door.I told her to turn around, once I was in my t-shirt. Her cheeks were crimson red from embarrassment and I was enjoying that scene.I just love the way she gets annoyed by little things. But just hates her guts when she fires back. She has got some attitude which I have to fix. I have to remind her who is the boss here.After talking to her I came to know that she is going on a tour
SHREYA'S POV After eating two full plates of my favorite dish we went to see Gateway of India which is Mumbai's most famous tourist attraction, and you simply can't afford to miss it.After that, I asked him to take me to Shri Siddhi Vinayak Temple. This is my childhood dream to visit that place. And by God's grace, he agreed without throwing any tantrums.On the journey to the temple, I saw many big buildings that I have never seen in my life. I decided to visit Mumbai again with my family for 1 week and have a tour of all the places.He stopped in front of the temple and parked the car.When we were at the gate he stopped walking."What happened?" I asked"I am waiting for you here, you go in"&
SHREYA'S POV After taking that frame which kukkad doesn't let me touch again, we returned back to the resort because it was already 6 PM and we have to reach the party by 8 PM and unlike me, he is very punctual regarding his schedule. Sometimes I wonder why we are so opposite to each other. Comeon Shreya this is not the right time to think about all this. If you got late then that kukkad will drag you to the party in this dress only. I picked up my dress and accessories and put them on. The dress was looking even more beautiful on me. Haha, just joking. I applied a little bit of foundation, eyeliner, eye shadow, and my favorite lipstick. I was not getting what to do with my hair and I don't know hair designs too. So I went with the last option an
SHREYA'S POV I didn't like the way that girl talked about me. So I excused myself and sat on a chair. I think he was his ex or something I don't care about. But she has no right to say things about me like that."Hey beautiful, remember me?" A man approached me.He is the same person who kissed my hand that day."Yes, Good evening sir" I greeted him."Sir? Oh, com'on don't call me sir. I want to be your friend". He saidSuddenly background music stopped and the host announced."Good evening ladies and gentlemen, it is high time to start the party. As it is a silver jubilee celebration so we will begin with the game of paper dance. All the couples get ready and those who are single here don't get dishearted you can search for you
Atharva's POV I woke up at my usual time and opened my eyes to find my butterfly in my arms. Finally! I was able to catch her. It was one of a hell difficult task though. My day is definitely going to be a good one because the first thing that I have seen after opening my eyes is my butterfly's face. My one hand was around her bare waist and one leg entangled with her legs. The rays from the sun were falling on her face making it more angelic and glowing. There is so much peace in her face. What a beautiful sight to wake up to!She is in a deep sleep her eyes are closed, lips little pouted with innocence written all over her face. But she is not as innocent as she looks. She fights back and never takes even a single thing on her. She is a bold lady who is always ready with her answers to debate.I moved my other leg a little and found something. I moved up and that was the pillow with which she created a line of control last night. I was sleeping all over her and that too on her
SHREYA'S POV His room was on the first floor. He brought me into his room and made me stand on my feet.He entered the room without saying anything and opened the attached door. I suppose it's a restroom.I took a round of my position and looked around. The room was quite large and royal, with a king-sized bed in the centre. I was drooling over the bed because I was exhausted and needed to sleep, and that bed looked so tempting, so comfortable, inviting me to sleep on it.But I am not going to sleep with him. Never!!The thing that struck me the most was that everything is black, whereas my room is vibrantly coloured.What is it about darkness that he finds so appealing?Although I love black, everything here screamed intimidation, dominance, and loneliness.My gaze is drawn to the clutcher, which is resting on the small table on the right side of the bed. I went over there and grabbed it.This is my clutcher, which I removed from my hair that day and placed on his study table.What
SHREYA'S PERSPECTIVEAfter signing the contract, he and I went to the hospital, and I was relieved to learn that the operation had begun and that Ansh bhaiya was donating blood to Papa.Except for bringing the medicines and other supplies requested by the doctor, he did not leave my side for a single minute.Papa was discharged three days later, and we returned home. Even there, he looked after my family.My mother asked who had assisted me, and when I told her, she thanked him profusely. Only if she knew he was to blame for Papa's condition. Papa was extremely grateful to him and Ansh bhaiya.He took advantage of the situation by presenting my parents with a marriage proposal, which they gladly accepted.They are overjoyed, as if they have received a diamond or the best person on the planet as their son-in-law.They assumed we were having an affair and that I loved him because I didn't refuse his proposal. It served no
SHREYA'S POVToday is Wednesday, and it has been 5 days since the incident.Since that day, I've been thinking about what that girl told me in the mall. He forced himself on her, she said, and when she refused, he fired her. I didn't believe her at the time, but now I believe she was correct.I haven't been to the office since that day. I don't want to confront him after what happened. I didn't even write anything to take leave, telling them I wasn't feeling well, and I didn't receive any mail or messages from that side.I don't know what to do next. I was just sleeping in these days, and they were the best days of my life since joining his office.I was now feeling fine, and my temperature was normal. I'm suffering from a mild cold.My stomach churned. I'm starving. I dragged myself to the bathroom did my business and went down to have lunch because the time of breakfast has long gone.I was getting frustrated, partly b
Atharva's POVThat was the end of the chapter for that boy. He'll never dare to get between me and my butterfly again.But, as I previously stated, her actions will not go unpunished. I've been giving her way too much work. I want to physically break her before attacking her emotionally. It would be good for her if she understands this way or I know the hard way too.I called her at my house this weekend to finish the remaining work. There is a lot of work to be done because it is peak season, and I cannot trust anyone. Even though I can do it on my own, I want her by my side at all times, and she has to do it for what I pay her.I was sitting in my home office, which I had set up. I was alone because I had given my servants leave because they kept knocking and disturbing me while I was working, no matter how much I threatened them, especially that old aunty Madhu. I'm not sure why she cares so much about me when I keep pushing her out of my life.
SHREYA'S PERSPECTIVEI was left with no choice but to return to work. Because if I collect all of my wealth, including the expected money from the Mathura home, it only adds up to 30 lacs. And I don't think it's a good idea to take out a loan when I'm already burdened by the monthly payments on this house. So I abandoned the idea of resigning from my job and causing myself more problems.Since that day, he has been acting strangely. He assigns me a large amount of work with a short deadline.I'm sometimes late getting back home. It was 10:00 p.m. on the first day of this week when I was returning home, and I felt someone was following me, which scared me. But I found out the next day that it was none other than him.I am becoming frustrated because I am unable to sleep properly, and my eyes have begun to paint as a result of my incessant computer work.But if he thinks he can force me to do what he wants in this manner, he is mistaken, co
Shreya's POVI decided to leave the job because I could not work under him in any way. I know I'll be unemployed for the rest of my life as a result of breaching the contract, but it's a lot better than working for a criminal.I typed my resignation letter and emailed it to the appropriate authority.Mumma Papa left for Mathura yesterday to attend the wedding of one of my cousins, so I'm alone at home. They asked me to accompany them, but I refused because I assumed he would not grant me leave, which I now regret. It would be preferable if I were in Mathura rather than confronted with yesterday's scene.'Love you Zindagi, love you Zindagi'I really need to change my ringtone because I'm not feeling you right now, Zindagi."Hello""Good day, Shreya.""Are you sure, Rahul?" He sounded agitated."Could you please come downstairs? I'm at your front door "He spoke in hushed tones.What happened to h
SHREYA'S PERSPECTIVEI still cannot accept that he is a murderer. I wasn't sure, so I looked into him and discovered that everything she said was true.He couldn't possibly do it.I can't bear the thought of even hurting my father, and he, he.....I used to despise him because of his ego, arrogance, domineering, and self-centered personality, but now I simply despise him. I'm not interested in seeing him.'Tring Tring'When my phone rang, it was from him. I was not in the mood to speak with him. As a result, I ignored it.My office phone then rang."Good day," I said."I need you in my office RIGHT NOW!" he yelled from the other end of the phone.What does he want right now? It's already 5 minutes after 6 p.m. It is time for me to leave the office.With no other options, I went to his door and knocked."Come in," he said calmly this time.I walked in. He was sitting in his offi
Atharva's POVWhen I saw my butterfly conversing with that bitch, I couldn't help but become enraged.I'm not sure what she wants, but I'm pretty sure her intentions aren't good. She and her son will undoubtedly try to harm my girl, especially since they know I have a soft spot in my heart for her.If my butterfly gets even a single scratch as a result of them, I will kill them with my bare hands.I was out of control and punching the wall furiously out of rage. The door opened and she peeped in. Her face has a magic that no one else has. I felt a little relieved. I wished for her to come to me and calm the beast within me. But she didn't approach me. Maybe she got terrified.I stopped punching the wall and went outside and got a call from my advocate. He told me that he will hand over the papers tomorrow.I can't wait for tomorrow to make her sign those papers and claim her as mine.But I know she will not sign that eas
