He slams the door as he gets out of the car and leaves me alone in the car. I stare out of the window. Karan opens the door for me. He takes a step back and crosses his arms over his chest. He stares down at me.
" Don't give me that look. Your brother has done a lot. " I sigh and step out of the car.
" I haven't seen him so disturb before." He drops his arms with a heavy sigh, " You should tell him. He didn't eat, drink. He... " He rakes both hands in his hair, " Don't do this again," he says.
" I'll tell you next time instead of him, " I say to him and close the door behind me.
" Seriously! You gotta be kidding me." He stares at me again.
" He's pretty mad. I left a note for him." I glance back at the mansion, " Where are we? " I ask, changing the topic.
" One of our properties." H
I stare at my bare feet. I feel the tingle sensation running under my skin. Instantly, I pull my knees to my chest. The sun is up. I haven't stepped outside of the room. I had my breakfast in my room. I ate half of it. I've no appetite. No one knocks on the door. I stare at the water. It's calm. I wanna go out but I don't wanna message him and give details of it. " Hi, " I snap my head back, " Rahul! " My lips part in a big smile. He's the one person who'll never judge me. " Why look upset? " He furrows his brows. I bite my lower lip, " Can you take me out? " I ask him. " Little Suhana is missing her angle. Would you like to meet her? We can have ice cream and whatever you like. " He says smilingly. " Sounds great. I need to change." I say to him. 
I scroll down on my phone. I've posted our picture together. I glance over my phone. His chin is tilted, eyes are fixed on the screen of his laptop. My first date with my husband was good. It was he who entertained me with his talk. I sigh, " Ain't you swimming today?" I suddenly ask him, astounding myself. He swivels his neck and looks at me with a cute smile, " I'm slightly busy today." He says. It may sound stupid. But I like to see him swimming. He's awesome in it, " What's it?" He asks. I shrug my shoulders and return to my phone. I gaze at him through the corners of my eyes. He glides toward me, putting his laptop aside. He's only wearing sweatpants. His chest is chiselled. He snatches the phone from my hands. He peers at the display, " We look beautiful together, " " Just beautiful! " I raise my eyebrows,
All Rights Reserved 2021 © Seerat KaurCHAPTER ONE She falls back to sleep in my arms again. Life feels cursed to see her in torment. It feels blessed she doesn't flinch with my touch. I inclined her back. Her friends don't leave her side. Tucking the blanket back, I get off the mattress. " Mini, she'll be the same as before all this?" Sippy asks, tears are shimmering in her eyes. " Yes," She looks at me, "'You won't hurt her ever." She asks. " Never, " I promised her. I can't think of harming her. Vicky steps into the room while holding a tray, " If you both wanna stay in this room, you girls need t
My wife is asleep. It's early morning. I couldn't sleep. My heart is exploding with dread. My chest is heaving, my jaw is set tight, I don't know what to do? I'm scared to touch her as I don't want her to gross out. I rub my palm over my forehead. She's conducting as she doesn't know me. " What's happening to her?" I try to rein my anger and control my voice. They're stressed too. " Short term memory loss. She wasn't facing it after the incident." Mini says. Her voice is groggy after all crying. " He knows!" Sippy astounds and stares at her. "She doesn't know anything about it. We told him before their wedding. I want him to know everything. He should know what he's walking in." Mini says.  
Mini puts earrings into my earlobes. I peer at him, he's sitting on the couch, hovering his fingers on the laptop, but I catch him looking at me many times. His chest is too sculpted, I can easily count each one of his six abs. I'm not comfortable in a blouse, but Mini has shown me my pictures in such dresses. I'm astounded, my mother hasn't killed me yet. My hair is down and wavy. Mini did a little makeup on my skin. I glance at my reflection this time, instead of him. "Thank you," I smile looking up at her. "Welcome baby, " She leaves a small kiss on my head. I hesitate. I don't want them to think anything wrong, " I wanna talk to him alone," I say and both stop. I wasn't allowed to do anything on my own, my mother will beat the hell out of me. I'm glad she's not here. I hate her. 
She did not ask me to go anywhere. She is too coy. I asked Mini to suggest anything. She likes water. So I'm taking her to Oberoi Marine Ltd. I have already sent a message to James. "How far?" She asks me again. It has been more than ten times. I glance at her. She's wearing her favourite colour's gown green, thin strips are showing her bare shoulders, her hair is wavy and spread over her shoulders. She's continuously watching out of the window and windshield, sometimes she puts her chin between her palms joining them and looks at the road with a small curl at the corners of her pink lips. I keep my hands on the steering wheel and grasp it so tightly that my knuckles turn white. It is hard to keep my hands away from her when I know she belongs to me. "Just a few more minutes," I say to her.
We returned from the shipyard an hour ago. I have my account on Instagram. I've checked it. But there's nothing, no particular message from him or any memory of him with me. Did I wipe him out of my life? Or did he do this? Is he that cruel? Could be! If he can cheat on me. He can do anything. I click on Arnav and my picture. We're looking happy. It clicked before our wedding. I haven't written anything below it. I'm in a white gown and he's in a white shirt. I think I should forget him. It has been five years. He must have gotten married, perhaps kids too. But I need to know what happened. I bite my lip staring at the walls. My eyes stop on our wedding picture. He looks like a model. Geez! I don't even know. What does he do for a living? "Hi, are you hungry?" Sippy walks into the room holding a tray in her hand. I put my phone aside and get on my feet hurriedly
I keep pacing the floor. Her words are ringing in my mind. She'd poison his ears against me. She's a cruel woman. My gaze is turning back to the clock. It's going to be ten o'clock. He must be coming at any time. I haven't forgotten the day. Sam made a call to me. She hated him. She picked up that call. I never thought about anyone but him. She slapped me. I was crying, not because she hit me because I wanted to talk to him. She grabbed the phone from my hand and answered it. I hadn't forgotten her words, 'She's characterless. She talks to a lot of boys, you ain't the only one.' I believe this is also one of the reasons he left me. I'll die but I'll never forgive that Cheater and her. Never! And never forget what they have done to me. I trusted them more than anything and anyone in my entire life. Now, I've
I stare at my image in the mirror. I'm draped into a baby pink gown, pink plump heels, pink lips. I gulp. I never imagined myself in pink colour. It still seems unbelievable that he's behind bars and Harleen helped me. He's found guilty. It has been a month. I don't wanna think about bad memories of my life. I've promised myself to start a new life with my husband. No shadow of my past. We've completed six months of this wedding. Arnav is taking me out, it's another date. He always surprises me and fills my life with happiness. ' My first sight love,' My phone pings, grabbing my attention. I smile, glancing down at his name. I click on it. Arnav brought this dress last night for me. I didn't
She was sleeping when I left for my office. I was waiting for her to make a move. She contacted him via FB when she couldn't get her phone. He called her daily from a private number. It's impossible that I'll put her in danger. When I was in my office. She booked a flight to India. She was doing it again. She was planning to go away without informing me again. "Sir, the plane is ready," Kabir says, walking into my office. I nod my head and grab my phone from the desk. I heave deeply as I dial a number. He answers on the first ring. "Hi, brother." "Are you ready?" I ask. I trace my fingers on the photo frame. Her tongue is stuck out, her eyes are smiling. I glanced at her with a smile. Karan clicked this. Beginni
I'm on the verge of tears. I drop my phone in my handbag. I grab our wedding picture from the nightstand and slip it into the handbag. I sit down on the couch. I grab a paper and pen. ' I'll come home soon. Three or four days! I also need to tell you something. Please, don't get mad like last time. ' I put the pen back. I crack my knuckles. I don't know anything about yesterday. He can do anything, harm me, kill me. I don't know if I'll be able to see my husband again. After knowing what happened in my past, I'm not certain about Arnav. The complicated question is - will he accept me? I'm scared to lose him. After a deep sigh, I throttle the pen between my fingers. I scrub the pen over the paper. &nbs
After they left for California. I returned to our room. I remove my heels and dupatta, putting them on the edge of the mattress. This dress is showing my cleavage. I frown at it. I'm alone in the room. I don't feel it necessary to cover it with a dupatta. I couldn't grope the closet. It's the biggest one. It would take hours. Biting down on my lip, I head toward its door. I swipe the back of my hand over my forehead. I have looked through every possible place. I started from his files, clothes. I couldn't get it anywhere. "Are you looking for something?" I startle and pivot on my heels. He isn't wearing his shirt, only his slacks he wore before
I keep looking at him. My cheek is pressed hard against the pillow. I want it to swallow me. He fastens his cufflinks. There's grace in his every small move. I'm the opposite of him. I'm quarrelsome sometimes, I'm always ready to fight for my rights. He's calm like a calm sea. He handles things with love. He knows to make my anger disappear. I blinked, breaking the spell of my thinking of him. He buttons his waistcoat and grabs his coat from the couch. A chill rakes my body seeping into my bones. The thought of parting from him always frightens me, unsettles me. He inclines down. My nose fills with cedar, sandalwood, Basil. His fingers slide in the back of my head. He pecks on my lips. We greet each other with our genuine smiles. "Don't go anywhere witho
I press my back against the side of the pool and stretch my arms out, gripping the ledge. I haven't felt so stressed before. I can see her from afar. She's still under doss. She should wake up. Pehu couldn't say anything. She doesn't wanna say anything until she talks to her. I stormed out of my office when I got a call from my mother. I clench my teeth. I respect her because she's my mother. She shouldn't do this to her. I shake my head and pull myself out of the pool. I grab the towel and rub it on my nape and head. I slip into a white boxer. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. I don't know. Will she remember me this time? I touch her cheek slightly with the
It was a fatiguing day. My feet are aching walking in heels. He didn't leave my side. His arm stayed around me as he's protecting me from something dangerous. I walk over to the pool after changing into shorts, kick off my slippers, and stick my legs in the water. I smile at him. He keeps himself afloat with small movements of his feet and waves of his strong muscular arms on top of the water. Our gazes lock. He slowly closes the gap between us until he’s directly in front of my legs. He places his hand on the edge as he glances up at me. He smiles. He gives a little push to his body, backward. With slow movements of his arm, he slides away from me. He slinks underwater for a few seconds. When he comes back up again, he wipes all his hair out of his forehead. He ra
Pehu suggested this to me. I hate to see her in pain. But I want her memory to be restored. I couldn't ignore the sheen of pain when she glanced at the counter near the door. I grab the forks and put them on the tray. I unclip the apron and glance at her. She's breathing heavily, "Suhana, what's it?" Immediately, I saunter forward and cup her cheeks. She swivels her neck looking into my eyes. I observe her in concern. "Can we go back to our room? I don't like this place." She says, biting on her trembling lower lip. Tears gathered in her eyes. She blinks staring in my eyes and tears roll down. "S***!" I curl my arm around her waist. Tugging her to my chest, I swipe her in my arms. Her face pressed against my chest and her arms tightened around my neck.
A sense of being watched pickles along my skin as the hair on my back rises. I glance back, snapping my eyes around. I could get nothing. That feeling is still seated inside me. "Are you looking for me?" Harleen says as she stops before her. She's dolled up in a black shoulderless tight gown, exposing her cleavage. I chose to stay quiet. She snorts when I just stare at her. "I was thinking of you as an intelligent woman." She tightens her red lips. "Should I say, you're not welcomed here?" Mini snaps. She glares at Harleen. Her grip tightens around the glass she's holding. "Your mother is so possessive," Harleen mocks her, twisting her lips. "Stay away from h
