Shanaya was keeping her clothes inside the bag when she heard her phone ringing.Picking up the phone from her bed, she answered it with a smile on her face" Hey, Saaransh."She listened to him for some time and spoke in response" Yes, I am ready. When will you be here?"Saaransh was supposed to pick her around 11 in the morning thought their flight was at two in the noon.She had presents to buy for her parents and, she could not believe she was going to see them after a year. She had not visited them since she had started working with Vihaan."Okay, see you soon." ending the conversation, she tossed her phone on the bed and checking her bag to make sure she had kept everything, she left her room only to get surprised on reaching the hall of the mansion."Dee! when did you come?" rushing toward Avni, Shanaya hugged her.Avni smiled and spoke:" Vihaan called me, saying he has something urgent to tell me. He practically made me run to be here within an hour!"Anubhav's house was an hou
4.5 years ago"Mom, I will be fine! Stop worrying about me." Shanaya, wearing denim jeans and red tee, in her twenties, not elder than 21 with a little bit of fat on her body that would not place her in 'fat' category, spoke on the phone while sipping the coffee.Her tone gave nothing as she roams her free hand in her coffee coloured waist-length hair and her eyes full of sadness, loneliness and betrayal looked at the far end of the street, at nothing in particular.It was mid of October, and she was standing outside one of the coffee shops in London. It was thirty minutes past six and the sun was about to set.Her face lit up in a sad smile at something her mother said and, she replied to her"Mom, College is going fine. As for the rented apartment, I received a message from one of the house owners I met, and I am going to meet him now."Just like every mother in the world, her mother too was worried about her. It has been a month for her to live in London and attend university, but,
Sitting on the comforting bamboo stool in the lawn of her parents' home in Australia in loose white tee and denim shorts, Shanaya was sipping the hot chocolate coffee while admiring the starry sky and the full moon.All she could see was the looks of horror on Avni and vansh's face. She wanted to explain them, to tell them she had no choice than hiding it, but, at that time she just remained sitting on the stairs.Her body refused, even when, her mind was screaming at her to do something to save her friendship.To save the relationship with Avni, which she valued more than her love for Vihaan.She could not fathom how everything falls in front of her, and, she could do nothing!And, about Vihaan! she was going to make him pay for all of it.She seems lost, to such an extent, she did not notice Saaransh's eyes on her.Saaransh sitting beside her wearing his usual solid joggers and a white tee kept on looking at her in an
It was six in the evening and yet, it looked dark, dark enough to be called midnight. October had ended and, the winters had started approaching. The birds had gone back to their nest, leaving behind a silence, utter silence.The Rathore mansion stood arrogantly in the midst of it just like its owner.Parking his Audi in the parking area of Rathore mansion, Vansh did not come out of it, immediately. He remained seated on the driving seat, his attention focuses on his phone in his hands, to be precise on the display photo of Whatsapp of Shanaya.The thought of calling her, asking her if she is fine was too much, he was on the verge of dialling her number, just like every time.But, he stopped, just like every time.Instead, he focuses his attention once more on her display pic.The picture was the latest one, the one where she was looking at the sky while sitting on the lawn wearing blue yoga pants and red tee.Vansh gues
"Saaransh is coming to pick me up." picking up the black-tie from her bed, Avni looked at Anubhav standing in front of full view mirror in their bedroom.Avni was wearing a v-neck, sleeveless black dress and, even though she hardly had any hint of makeup, she was looking gorgeous.But that who she was, a beautiful, cute and charming girl.Walking toward Anubhav, Avni stood up by facing him and standing on her toes she lifts herself to tie the knot of the tie.These little but memorable moments were the keys of their healthy relationships and, Avni had made sure never to let Anubhav go outside without tying his tie for the last one year since they have got married.Anubhav family belonged to one of those family who was well reputed but, Anubhav had chosen to go to the other field. Seeing his interest in software, he had decided to be a software engineer and was a highly paid software engineer in one of the top IT companies.Avni n
Standing against one of the walls of the VIP elevator, wearing dark blue skinny jeans with a white jacket, Shanaya adjusted her long, wispy layered honey coloured hair with her index finger.She was so sleepy, all she wanted was to close her eyes and not to open them till eternity. Well, eternity not as in going to heaven and meet GOD so early."And why do you think you will go to heaven? You can go to hell too." spoke her mind and, she made her face.She was in the midst of the process of ignoring her mind for some time now.But, yes, all she wanted was to go straight to her home, get tucked inside the warm blanket, get cosy alone in it and go to sleep.That too, when she had come just five minutes before from her apartment!The reason for her condition was simple. She had not been able to sleep the entire night because like usual, she was busy thinking all the worst scenarios.Being an overthinker was not an
"Yes, ofcourse" seated on the chair of "Paradise" hotel, one of the top five-star hotel in Delhi, beside Rohit Khanna, his companies' new client, Vihaan spoke.The chilled December was making a home in everyone's life, affecting their lifestyle and their dressing sense.Affected by it, Vihaan too was wearing a black suit with a long grey coat and black shoes. Meanwhile, Rohit was wearing a blue winter suit with brown shoes.But, his eyes were not on, Rohit, somewhat they were fixed far away from where he was seated, on a lovely, beautiful girl.Vihaan had no idea what he was listening, or speaking, for he was burning in jealousy, for, the same girl wearing dark blue jeans with white turtle neck sweater, grey charcoal long coat and black ankle-length heel boots was none other than Shanaya Malhotra.His mind spoke in disbelief when he noticed her lips, her always natural red lips painted wit
Rohit looked at Vihaan with playfulness in his eyes and spoke teasingly" Well, you agreed to it when I asked you earlier."Okay, the time to come clean had come and, having no other option, Vihaan shrugged his shoulder while speaking" Fine, but, never ever say they look good together! Just look at that man!"Looking at the man Shanaya was seated with, Rohit spoke casually" What about the man? I find him attractive.""Seriously!" looking at Rohit in disbelief, Vihaan complained," He is not tall."Rohit could not believe it, for the man was as tall as 6 feet. Shaking his neck, he pretended to be in favour of the man and spoke " Shanaya would find him tall enough and, it's her opinion that would matter, isn't it?"Before anyone could speak more, they saw Vansh in a black shirt and grey suit with white formal shoes.Vansh sat down opposite them and, questioned while looking
Lying on their bed, she watched him, removing the tie, and unbuttoning his shirt, and then suddenly he stopped.The action did not go unnoticed, and immediately, Shana looked at him.And found him looking at her."Always Look at me," he demanded as soon as their eyes met."I am already looking at only you," Shana replied emphasising on 'you', and her eyes reached to his manhood again.Shana took a long breath as soon as his hands touched his belt.All the curiosity, anxiety, and excitement made their way, and she could feel the sweating make the way.She had touched and had felt him, but now she was going to see it.As if he could sense, he spoke," Are you sure?" Even though his heart was praying, " Please don't say 'No'"."Are you going to torture me in slow motion, " Shana was restless now."Ha
"What?" Vihaan almost stammered.And he broke the kiss, not because he wanted to, though. He looked at her, shock written all over his face.Did he just hear Shana correctly?Shana hesitated. Was Vihaan not ready anymore for her?But the kiss did not seem like it. It had the same passion."Nothing," and she blurts out with disappointment, lacing her voice."Shana...please repeat what you said?" Vihaan just wanted to hear her say once more.He had wanted to hear it for such a long time that he was not sure he was even hearing it.Lifting her chin, making her eyes meet his, Vihaan spoke again," Please, just once."His pleading but love-loaded eyes and his thumping heart answered the one Shana was searching for, and she whispered the magic words again," Love me, Vihaan."Tick tick tick
Ascending the stairs, Shana knew it was a turning night in her life.Vihaan had never left a party like it ever.And she was confused.No way, Vihaan had left the party simply because saaransh had danced with her.And the voice of Vihaan rang in her mind, " One touch of another man on your skin and trust me, you will never forget this night.""He was not serious about it." speaking to herself, she tried calming herself.She was so engrossed she hardly heard Vansh's footsteps beside her."Good night, beautifool" Stopping at the first floor, Vansh looked at her.Shana smiled tight lips, her eyes on the second floor, her heart beating fast, in excitement and desire.Waving goodbye to Vansh, she hurriedly ascended the stairs and halted in front of the door to their bedroom.Calming her running heart,
Everything was going well. Since the arrival of Vihaan, Shana could hardly feel any gaze. And the party was going great. As it was for only closed ones, it hardly had thirty to forty people. The food, the music, the aura, everything was perfect. "I think it will be a girl" Sipping the soft drink, Shana spoke, her eyes filled with love looking at Avni's belly. She was standing in the middle of the party hall with Vansh, Avni and Anubhav. "I think it would be a boy" Vansh spoke next. "Come on! I can tell you it will be a girl" Caressing her belly, Avni glared at Vansh. "Ofcourse, even I want a girl" Joining Avni, Anubhav continued" Imagine having a little image of you. That would be so beautiful" and he was dreamy now. Shana was enjoying t
Shana was sitting in front of the dressing table, her pinkish-round face glowing.Not with any makeup, but with shyness, excitement and nervousness.Her greenish silk saree with a backless blouse and the emerald necklace adoring her petite and creamy neck were not making her less prettier.And she realised people saying green is her colour were not liars.She was glad to choose green, for she wanted to look pretty. The feminine in her was urging her to look beautiful, for herself and for Vihaan.She knew something had changed, maybe not just something but everything.She now wanted to wear gorgeous sarees and dresses and wanted to look mesmerizing every time.And her expectations of herself were so much, she could not even decide which lipstick to apply.Her heart as usual wanted red, but her eyes and mind were urging her to go to pink.And vihaan lying on the bed, his hands supporting his head was not helpful at all.Instead, like always he was increasing her heartbeats and regrets.
Shana might not have forgiven him, but she would answer him ,whenever he would ask her anything.But that was it.Days passed and it was one fine day.Avni and anubhav have visited them and all except Vihaan were sitting in the lobby, enjoying the sunset and cool Breeze while enjoying the coffee.Vihaan was as usual in his office, he had some important meetings with the international client.But he had promised Avni he would be with them as soon as the meeting will be over.Sipping the coffee while gossiping , Avni spoke up, gaining everyone's attention on her"I have something to share with you."And she had everyone's attention.She looked nervously at everyone and then her gaze halted at Anubhav who was sitting beside her on the sofa.Out of her habit, Shana was noticing her body language and she noticed Avni's p
Two days passed and it was already Sunday.Neither Shana nor Vihaan had any plans, but the rest of the Rathores had already departed to one of their relatives.Since it was one of her favourites, Shana took her time to wake up.She had no obligation to wake up early and to rush to the office.She had inner plans though.She wanted to wake up late, have a bath, have brunch and then she wanted to dedicate her time to writing.It was killing her to know she had not written a single line for a long time.Waking up at ten in the morning, she was out of her room after half an hour.She had not taken a bath yet, she was craving for some strong coffee.Still in her sleep, she descended the stairs to reach Vansh's floor and the thought of having a glimpse of him made her walk toward his room.Knocking, sh
Good morning" Trying to meet her eyes, Vihaan spoke while sitting at the breakfast table.It was not exactly morning; it was ten in the morning, and they both were late for the office.Or, Vihaan was deliberately late as he was waiting for Shana to at least look at him.He was completely sober, even if he was not, he was not going to show it.The thought of the night was a nightmare for him and he did not want to ruin the present day.But it looked like it had.He felt Shana ignoring him completely, and once done with the breakfast, he followed her back to his room.Closing the door, he walked toward Shana and lightly grabbing her elbow, made her turn towards him."Please look at me" Lifting her chin with his index finger; he was like a lost puppy.Shana did not glance at him."I am sorry, Shana"
Tick tick tick....The second hand of the wall clock was increasing her heartbeat with every strike and she was becoming more anxious.Now she was concerned about him. It might have been normal for her to pretend to be okay in front of the members of the family when they had asked about Vihaan and she had replied" He will be late."But, now when she was alone, and time was passing at a fast pace, she was worried.All she wanted was for him to be in front of her.Lurching up from the bed, she stood up and picking the phone from the table, she had just dialled his number when she heard the bell ringing outside the door of the room.And the next second, she heard the knob of the door turning.She had never been so relieved as she was a the moment and she almost ran forward to hug him.But, then she stopped and all the anxiousness, worri
