Goa
A girl was standing on a sea beach.
She was in her deep thoughts and suddenly she started towards the Sea shore.
Onlookers looked at her who was walking aimlessly towards the sea but didn't say anything. Some guys were checking her out seeing her tall and slim frame and good looking face. She was in her early thirties.
Looking at her expressionless face Some thought maybe she was trying to harm herself deliberately so they stood alert to take the matter in their hands if it was needed to.
She didn't give a heed to anyone .
She stopped when she stood in ankle deep water and relished the cold water on her skin.
The concerned people sighed in relief.
She was enjoying the coolness of water on her feet and the warmth of the early morning. One can see that she was feeling satisfied by looking at her face.
Suddenly her phone rang, breaking her thoughts . She looked at the caller id and smiled lightly.
She picked up her call.
Girl : Hello.
The caller : Kaha ho aap ? Jaldi se aa jao (Where are you? Come fast)
She understood through her voice how irritated she was.
Girl : Okay, I am coming within 10 minutes.
They hung up the call.
The girl looked at her wrist watch.....it was 9 am. She started to walk towards her destination.
She took an auto and reached her place.
Paying the auto she stood in front of her workplace.....the Bakery cum cafe named " Sharma's Cakes and More " . This was made by her father .
She entered.
"You are late ,Ankita." A girl in her mid twenties who was a staff member said to her.
"I am sorry...I was at the beach." She said, smiling sweetly.
The girl shook her head and said ,"It's okay.Now get back to work."
Ankita smiled and went inside in search of the person who was red in anger by now.
"So finally you are here!!" She commented as soon as she spotted Ankita.
"I am sorry,Tithi. I was at the beach. " Ankita said. Tithi is Ankita's sister. She is 2 years younger than Ankita.
"It's okay...let's start working." Tithi said smiling,Ankita nodded.
They both started their work.
After some time a lady of her late 30s entered . She was their regular customer.
"Good morning, Ankita." The lady greeted.
"Good morning Mrs Gomes ,what can I do for you?" Ankita said with a sweet smile.
"I want to order a birthday cake and some Chicken patties and some other items as Coming Sunday is my Son's birthday. " She said.
"Okay... it will be done. I am calling Tithi ,she will note down your order. " Ankita said.
She called Tithi who came to note down.
"Yes but the thing is that you guys have to deliver it ." Mrs Gomes said .
"Okay ...no problem . We will." Ankita said.
Mrs Gomes placed her orders and went away .
As soon as she went away ,Tithi said to her elder sister ,"Why can't they send people here ? Why do we have to go ?"
"I don't know....no problem ,we will do something. She is our regular customer and Moreover we can't miss this big offer...she has placed orders for almost 40 people...think about it. In the future it will help us to get more orders ." Ankita said .
Tithi nodded her head . She knew her sister was right. Their cafe was doing good. It's their father's dream so they want to make it big. Moreover if they get more orders it will help them in their livelihood. They can lead their life better than they are living and honestly who doesn't want that!!
At around 10 pm they closed the shop. They took their belongings and started to walk to catch an auto.
Luckily they got one and sat on it. The driver dropped them in front of a one storey house.
"We are home." Tithi shouted as soon as she reached home.
Soon their mother, Mrs Sharma came out from the kitchen with a smile on her face.
"Come, go freshen up. I am plating the dinner." She said and went inside the kitchen.
Two sisters walked inside to see their Father watching news on TV. They knew if they disturbed him,they had to face his wrath. So without making a sound they went towards their room.
After freshening up,they sat together for dinner.
"How's the cafe going?" Mr Sharma asked his daughters.
"Good Dad...we got a big order recently for a birthday party. " Ankita said smiling.
"Wow nice ...make sure that you can give the best to our Client.." Mr Sharma said smiling happily.
Tithi and Ankita nodded at their father.
After dinner ,everyone retired to their rooms.
Ankita went to the washroom to wear her comfortable nightwear.
"What are you doing?" Ankita asked after coming out as she saw Tithi watching something on her phone.
"Oh nothing, just watching youtube videos...I need to pass my time." Tithi said.
Ankita smiled at her sister.
"Come let's sleep ...tomorrow we have to wake up early." Tithi said.
"You sleep..I will join you." Ankita said and walked towards the balcony.
She sat on the chair staring at the moon. Looking at the moon she smiled slightly and her mind was filled with lots of thoughts regarding her life. She felt messed up.
Before she could untangle her tangled thoughts, tiredness made her slip in deep slumber. She slept sitting on her chair itself.
Here you go with the first chapter.

Without asking He opened the door ,thinking that the food which he had ordered came. As soon as he opened the door,a man of mid 20s in a waiter's uniform entered and shut the door ,making Mr. Wi
Ankita's povI was standing in the middle of a garden which was filled with beautiful flowers. I was waiting for someone who was late as usual. I was admiring the newly bloomed red rose when a voice came from behind."Ankita." My lips curved in to smile hearing the well known voice and I turned around to see him standing there folding his hands near his chest. " Aarush...I was waiting for you…" I said shyly ,feeling his intense gaze on me. Seeing him looking at me like this ,I almost forgot that I was angry with him for being late."That's why I came here to meet you." Aarush said, giving me a wink."But you are late." I said huffing in anger."I am sorry ,jaan...but I promise I will never be late again and always be by your side. " He said. He forwarded his hand towards me .I happily forwarded my hand to hold his .But before I could touch him he started to walk backwards…"Aarush...Aarush where are you going?" I asked ,panicking. "I am going ,Jaan….but we will surely meet…very
Elijah's povI stood in front of my parents' house and rang the doorbell.After sometime the door was opened by Martha who is our full time help.At first seeing me she was shocked and then she smiled brightly."Elijah baba,you are home!!" She said .I nodded and asked,"Where are Mom and Dad?" Although she has always been very sweet to me since my childhood, I wasn't so comfortable showing my emotions with her. So it's very rare that I have shared my smile with her. But acknowledging her warm behaviour, I behave softly with her...as much as softly I can.And Martha aunty has gotten used to it."They are in the study. " Martha aunty said ,giving me a glass of water.I thanked her and went upstairs after drinking the water.I stood in front of the study and knocked on the door. "Come in.." I heard Dad's stern voice."Hello family …" I said entering the room.Hearing my voice ,Mom and Dad looked up from their books and their expressions changed from shocked to smiling."Oh my God!! Eli
Ankita's pov I woke up in the morning and looked at the other side of the bed to see it empty. That means Tithi has woken up. I got down from the bed and went to take shower. After taking shower ,I got ready for the day and went towards our dining hall. I wore a spaghetti strap black top and comfy grey sweats. Keeping my hair open ,I decided to apply just lip balm. "What's up people?" I said taking a seat on the dining table . I looked at my father to see him having his tea whereas my mom and Tithi were busy discussing something. "Nothing...just preparation for lunch and dinner." Mom said. "Okay." I said while serving myself Roti and sabji. "Di...why don't we make Naan for dinner? It will be great ." Tithi said. I thought for some time and said ,"Done ,So dinner is on us Naan & Paneer ." Mom nodded. Dad said,"Wow...today's dinner is going to be very interesting...mere toh muh mein abhi se hi paani aa raha hai (My mouth is watering from now.)' Mom narrowed her eyes and
Elijah's pov"Hello," I said as soon as I picked up the call."Romano here ,as you wanted I reached Mumbai with our team." He replied. "Very Good..if you get him,fly down here as soon as possible. " I replied."Sure Boss." He said and cut the call.I kept the phone aside and kept my head on the headrest of my car seat.I looked outside the window and I can get a clear inside view of "Sharma's Cakes and More."Yes,I am waiting here to get a glimpse of that beautiful stranger --- Ankita. Now you will ask me how I got the information.Here you go,Flashback 2 days ago,It's been two days since I have seen her and talked with Jenni.Not for a single moment Thoughts of her have left from my mind.I don't know the reason but I can't stop thinking about her.To be honest I have met more beautiful girls than her and in fact dated quite a number ..but nobody intrigued me like this and made me think about them all day & night... I think they say correctly that everyone is different from other
Author's pov After 3 daysThe Sun shone brightly….the weather was moderate and absolutely pleasant…But it was totally opposite in Sharma house,it was gloomy...especially Ankita.She was sitting in front of the mirror in a white salwar suit ….her eyes were full of tears. Tithi looked sadly at her sister ...she wanted to remove pain from her sister's life but it seems to be next to impossible because the reason of her happiness is no more…..Aarush is no more.And exactly one month ago Ankita's husband died . Today Ankita held a special puja (prayer) for her deceased husband.Tithi sighed and walked towards her sister ."Di,get up. Let's go...it's time for puja." She said softly ,holding her Sister's shoulders. Ankita looked at her and quickly wiped her tears. "Let's go." She said and went towards the living room with her sister. They reached the hall to see pandit ji (hindu priest) and Ankita's in-laws sitting in front of Aayush's photo . " Come sit beta,we were waiting for you."
Author's pov The sun shone brightly ,disturbing Ankita's sleep. She groaned and turned to cover her eyes from the Sun rays. But she failed as her sleep has already broken. She opened her eyes and yawned ,looking at the surroundings. She sat up straight as soon as she came across a very different surrounding ."How come I am here?" Ankita said to herself. She tried to remember what happened last night but she couldn't remember anything except that she slept ….after that everything was blank.She groaned as she felt a terrible headache. "Oh it's good you are awake." Hearing a voice she turned around to see a girl around her mid twenties standing in front of her with a smile."Who are you and why am I here?" Ankita yelled at her, who was busy doing something on her phone. "You will know everything...just wait for sometime." The girl said calmly."I am not interested in anything...I just want to leave from here."Ankita said loudly,standing in front of her with her back to the door.

Slightly mature content in this chapter. Author's pov In her bedroom Tithi was sitting on the couch and intently looking at Anah whose eyes were fixed on her sketchbook.The room was silent except the little blabbering of the third member who was present in the room…. A 2 years old Ena who was sitting beside Anah and blabbering in her cute voice with the barbie doll in her hand.There were maids and them in the house . Randeep was in hthe office.Elijah and Ankita went to a date which Ankita had arranged for her husband.Romano and Jenny went to her parents house to meet them. "So did you decide what you want to draw?" Tithi asked Anah, smiling."No Chachi..I am confused. Help nah!!" Anah said in a cute voice and pouted. Tithi chuckled and before she could say anything, Anah said ,"I get it.. I don't need your help now. " Tithi nodded . She left a soft weight on her lap and turned to see Little Ena sitting on her lap as she didn't get any attention. With a smile Tithi cuddled
Author's pov After a year of Randeep & Tithi's wedding Romano was getting ready for his work when his eyes went to his wife who was sprawling all over the bed and sleeping peacefully. She was looking innocent while her eyes were closed and lips formed into a pout.A smile crept on his lips ,never in his life he thought that he would marry Jenny and fall in love with her. He liked her as a friend and always thought that she was out of his reach. So he kept his communication with her in check to keep the distance between them.And now they are here as a husband and wife. As it is said that Destiny has its own role to play and Romano agrees with it.He walked towards the bed and kissed her forehead. "Jen..wake up baby. It's already 8 am." He whispered in her ear.Jenny let out a yawn and opened her sleepy eyes. Seeing her husband's face in front of her, she gave a full blown smile to him, making him smile in return. He helped her to sit on the bed."Good morning ,Handsome." She greete
Author's pov After a year of Romano's marriage Tithi walked out of the washroom after wearing a night suit. She jumped on the bed and let out a yawn. She was about to lay down on her bed when her phone rang. Without looking at the caller id ,she picked her phone up and answered, "Hello." "Hey Tithi." Hearing the voice, Tithi was shocked but composed herself .She gave a goofy smile."Hey there…. Is everything okay?" She asked as it was already 1 am."Yes ,why?" He asked in confusion. "No … actually you are calling me this late. That's why ." She replied. "Oh..well I want to talk to my fiance, do you have any problem?" He replied. Mischievousness was evident in her tone."Obviously you can ,Mr. Randeep. In fact I am not objecting as well. " Tithi said with a smirk."Interesting. " Randeep said and chuckled. " So excited or nervous for tomorrow?" He asked her. Tomorrow is their engagement. It is an arranged marriage for them. Randeep's mom liked Tithi so she sent the proposal to
Author's pov "Are you sure, Tithi?" Ankita said, biting her lips."Offo...Di ,come on. I know you can do it. Why are you so nervous? Don't worry ,I am coming after Jiju is out. Some face-to-face pep talk will boost your confidence. " Tithi said confidently in the call as she started searching for a perfect dress to wear ."Okay...that's better. Come soon. Bye." Ankita said to her as her face lit up due to the idea of her sister."Bye ,Di." Tithi said with a smile and cut the call."With whom are you talking?" Hearing Elijah's voice ,she turned around to see him standing near the bed and keeping the alphabetical books of Anah on the table.Anah was sleeping peacefully on the bed."Umm...wo...It was Tithi. She is saying that she is going to buy a ….a...umm...oh yes ...bike...she is going to buy a bike . That's why I was asking her not to take the decision in haste." Ankita said to him nervously.Elijah kept his face expressionless. He could understand that something was going in her b
Author's PovElijah was sleeping peacefully when suddenly he felt a light weight on his stomach. Soon cotton-like soft palms touched his cheek and his eyes. The hands tried to open his eyes but Elijah kept it shut tightly so that those hands remained unsuccessful. He wanted to tease the owner."Dadda...Dadda" As soon as he heard the baby voice of his daughter, he opened his eyes to see his 3 year old Anah sitting on his stomach with a cute frown on her forehead. But the frown got replaced by a heart melting smile as soon as she saw her Dadda awake.Elijah held her hands and kissed them."Good morning, Dadda's love." He said to his daughter. She giggled and wished him."Oh, all the love for Dadda … then what will Mumma do?" They heard Ankita's voice and turned around to see her standing near the washroom door. Anah squealed and stood up from Elijah's belly . Ankita walked towards them and opened her arms as Anah ran towards her mother. "Good morning, Mumma." Anah wished her kissin
Author's povAfter 5 monthsIf one and half years ago someone told Ankita that she would fall in love with someone again and this time with her everything, she would have punched that person for saying something so offensive and unreal.But now it is her reality….a Beautiful reality.Case is the same with Elijah as well. He still can't believe that he can love someone beyond everything and also a great father of a beautiful baby, Anah. As it is said that nobody has seen what is written for you in future. Their life and love story are the perfect example of that saying.BlissIt is the only word they could say to describe their married life after the confession of their love. Their love has increased more no doubt.Like any other couple they fight for sure but they always talk to each other as soon as their anger subsides as we all know that Communication is the key of a successful relationship. There are many positive changes which have come within themselves. Elijah has learned t
Elijah's pov Before she could continue her blabbering, I took her in an earth shattering kiss and tasted her luscious pink lips. I ravished her soft petals like lips and entered my tongue inside her mouth. I groaned in pleasure due to her sweet and addictive taste. Her moans and grip on my hair were making me more aggressive and passionate. She was trying to match my pace which made me smile. After feeling her being breathless, I stopped and we both separated from each other, panting heavily. Honestly I want more of her. She is too enchanting to resist. "I..guess..now...you don't….have...any...complain." I said within my pants. She looked at me and blinked cutely."I love you ...It's not possible for me to not love you as you are rooted deep in my soul. So never ever think that I don't love you at all. You are my life ...because of you ,I want to live the rest of my life...of course because of our daughter as well. I want to spend every second, every moment of my life with you an
Ankita's pov A sudden scream from Aarush made me turn towards him.His phone fell down from his hand and he looked visibly shaken. "What ...what happened?" His father asked him in a shaky voice."Papa...Papa… I got a call from one of our board members ...he.. he said that...that I have been removed from the CEO'S post...In fact...in fact they are saying that i need to vacate the office as soon as possible. " Aarush said. "But how is it possible? You are the major shareholder of the company . " his mother said ,who looked pale,hearing the news. Aarush nodded and called someone with shaky hands."Hello Ahuja, what's happening? Why am I being removed from my post?…….What ? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SAYING!!! WHEN THE HELL DID I SELL MY SHARE OFF TO YOU ,YOU MOTHER FUCKER?" Aarush shouted. Luckily Tithi took Anah away otherwise, she would have gotten scared.He cut the call and his father asked him,"What did he say?"Aarush didn't reply and looked at something in his phone.In the very
Elijah's pov It's been three days since the Kulkarni drama happened. Since that day, Ankita and I haven't talked much. Every time I want to talk to her ,I can't.What if she tells me to leave her? This fear is stopping me from talking to her.Moreover, her nonchalant behaviour is bothering me . How can she be so calm after the storm has arised?Why did she agree with that DNA test thing as she knows about the result? I am upset with her for agreeing with that bastard's opinion.Though somewhere I am feeling that she won't do anything without thinking but what if her love for her ex-husband resurfaces? What if she leaves me!!! I have seen the admiration and respect she has for me in her eyes but I know how she loved that bastard. What if that love becomes stronger than her admiration and respect towards me?Most importantly, what if she leaves me ? How will I stay without her and my Anah? All these Thoughts aren't letting me live in peace.But somewhere I am not losing my trust
