Anay's words were ringing in Kabir's ear... he ran his finger through his hair while being frustrated!!!! He took a cigarette and started smoking...after a few hours when he felt a little relaxed he got up and went to his bedroom....lights were off and Erica was asleep just the moon light was peeking through!!!

He went near the bed and stood near her face , he looked at her sleeping face with a Stoic expression and then said " I don't care how you came into my life , but now you will be with me forever!" He said

He then took his side and slept ...after more than a week Kabir finally slept in his room.

Anay took a bottle and started drinking he was constantly thinking about his conversation with Kabir ...he was rattled because he thought Kabir is himself stuck in this marriage for his business ambition so he will do what he wants!!! But the way he reacted surprised him!!!! Anay always got what he wanted every girl , every car , every type of things that he desired and he wanted Erica from the start he always wanted to get close to her but she didn't give him a chance...and because of this yearning that he had towards her at one moment he was ready to even get married to her...till rachit's call happened....and now when she is living under same roof as Kabir's wife he feels like a looser who lost her to Kabir!!!she reminds him that he wanted her and didn't get!!

Erica got up early and she saw Kabir sleeping beside her ...his long lashes were kissing his cheeks and he was looking as innocent as a kid ...she was looking at him with amusement when his previous words rang in her mind...and she immediately turned her face and went to the washroom.

In the afternoon Erica was getting bored so she asked Sunita if there is any kind of novels which she could read and also see wanted some blank papersheets for making her distant education notes!

" The paper sheet should be in Kabir sir's office room and even bade sahab's office as well and There are so many books in Kabir sir's Study room , you can get it from there!!! Sunita said

"Kabir reads novels!!!" Erica asked being surprised

"I don't know about novels mam but there are so many books ..and maybe you can get papersheets as well!!!!"

"Ok !!!! Where is his study room!!" She asked

" In the left wing of the mansion" Sunita said and taking a hesitated pause she said "mam plz try not to disturb any arrangements their...Kabir sir will not like it...he wants everything in its very place"

"Don't worry I won't!" She said putting her hand on Sunita's shoulder with a small smile.

Erica reached Kabir's study and she opened the door ..as soon as she entered she saw a big portrait of Kabir sitting like a king in a black suit hanging on the wall...she couldn't help but admire how good he looked...

"Kya fayda itne good looks ka jab kaam sirf logo ko darana he hai" she said mischievously.

Then she saw a few more photos of Kabir some of his school days ..some of his graduation day...she saw a pic of him where he was smiling with his graduation degree...

It's the first time she saw him smiling

"Pakka photographer ne bola hoga smile karne ko !" She said to herself

Then she saw his books there were autobiographies , finance related books , few spiritual texts and many other business related books but nothing like fictional stories!!! She mocked herself for thinking Kabir would read fiction!!!

Then she started searching for blank papersheet she was looking for it in the drawer..she got the sheets but there was something else underneath that drew her attention she pulled it out and found it was a "child scrap book"

She opened the book and found a pic of kabir and his mother from childhood

After seeing Kabir's pic with mom...Erica turned the page where the introductory questions were asked and the answers were written in childish writing something like this

Name - Kabir randhawa

Age -8 years old

Birthday - 8/07/1992

Class - 3rd standard

School - Mountain high school

Favorite subject - Maths

Favorite color - black

Favorite food - gulaab jamun , gazar ka halwa , kheer and so many other things made by mom 🥰

Who do you love the most - I love my Mom the most🥰

What do you want to become - business man👑

Favorite hobby - swimming

What you think about yourself - I'm so handsome and intelligent .😌 (Erica laughed reading this line)

Erica turned the page and found one more pic of Kabir and his mom

She turned the page again and the scrap book ended.... She put it back from where it was..... And left the study room!!!

She came into her room but The images of Kabir and his mom were moving in front of her eyes ...Kabir looked so happy in both the pictures....she remembered what tai Said that Kabir was such a happy child...she thought everyone in the house says Kabir doesn't eat anything sweet where it was clearly mentioned in the scrap book that he so loved sweet dishes!!!! So does that mean Kabir left sweet dishes because of his mom....she thought

'how much it would have been tough for Kabir to cope with the loss he was such a fragile child . It was so evident that Kabir was very emotionally dependent on his mother" Erica said to herself. She felt a sudden surge of protectiveness towards Kabir..she thought smriti aunty loves Anay so much but when she was dating Anay , he never mentioned anything about his mother or even anyone , it was always like I am this , I am that and Kabir who is perceived as emotionless person has quit his favourite food because may be it reminded him about his mother!!!

She was in deep thoughts when her phone rang she picked up and saw her mother was calling after approx 2 months of her marriage....she thought of calling them but didn't get the courage because she was so ashamed she slowly picked up the call

"Hello! Mumma" Erica said

"Erica !!!! Beta how are you?" Her mother asked

" I'm good " Erica said her voice was cracking

" Beta ...I have called to invite you and Kabir for lunch tomorrow at home. We didn't even do the pagphera rasam because of all the rush...so do come tomorrow ok" she said

"But mumma!!! She said

"No questions ..come tomorrow ..we are waiting ..ok now I have to go for the preparations inform damaad ji ok!" With this she hung up the call!

Erica thought what she will do now her mother invited her with so much love but what about Kabir!!!!

----------------------------------------------

It was late at night ...

Kabir was reading a file standing near his work table in his office room when a knock happened on the door!!!

"Come in " he said

Erica came in ...Kabir looked up and saw Erica standing there wearing a beautiful golden nightie with a shrug. it wasn't revealing but it was perfectly fitting her curves ..her hair were open and her bare face was shining!!! Kabir 's eyes got stuck for a micro second until

" Kabir"!!!! She said

It was the first time she took Kabir's name in front of him...it felt different to Kabir!!

Raising his eyebrows he asked her to continue....

"K...Kabir my mumma called me today she...aaa...asked us to come..fffor lunch tomorrow at my home." Erica was shuttering because she knew his answer.

"Ok!!" He said casually.

Erica blinked her eyes in surprise!!! She didn't know what to do so she turned to leave...but her foot tripped over the carpet and she was going to fall but a strong arm held her waist and pulled her towards him ,within seconds she got caged between Kabir and the table... everything happened in such a swift motion that Erica's hand went to his neck and her eyes squeezed closed... When she opened her eyes she saw herself so close to Kabir!!! He held her waist so firmly and their face was so close!!!....it was the first time when they were this close after marriage... Erica's shrug went uneven showing her neck and shoulder...she corrected it with hesitation..and then she again looked at Kabir who was just looking in her eyes Erica gulped in nervousness and thought to leave , she tried to go but Kabir didn't release her waist...she looked in his eyes with suprise.

"Be careful next time!!!" Kabir said in a deep voice ,still looking in her eyes and then slowly with his figures lingering on the fabric he left her waist....

Erica hurriedly went away...

While Kabir silently watched her leaving.......

    I was just beginning to drift into sleep when I felt Kabir shift behind me, his body pressing into mine. His arm snaked around my waist, and he started tracing his nose, down to my cheek, and then my neck. His breath was warm against my skin. “Kabir, stop…” I murmured, moving slightly away. “Tomorrow is Kavis’s exam. You know how stressed he gets—I have to wake up early.” “Yrr, he’s just a five-year-old kid. What stress you are talking about!! about.” Kabir groaned. “Erica, it’s been three months. Not even once…” His voice took on a pleading edge. “Please, baby.” I sighed, trying to keep my patience. “Kabir, please just sleep. Next week, pakka.” "Next week?" His voice darkened, and I felt him stiffen. A second later, he pulled away completely, turning his back toward me. I stared at his rigid shoulders, rolling my eyes. “Kabir… have you gotten angry?” I whispered, reaching out to hug him from behind. He didn’t respond, just tried to shake off my hands, but I didn’t let go. Eventu

  • It was meant to be him   Epilogue

    After Anay returned home from the hospital, recovering from the bullet injury, Rajeshwar's fury knew no limits. In his eyes, Anay's betrayal was unforgivable-planning to murder Kabir was an act that shattered any hope of reconciliation. Enraged, Rajeshwar threw Anay out of the house, leaving him with nothing. Without a second glance at his family, Anay left in anger, seeking solace far away abroad, never once reaching out to even his mother, Smriti.Smriti, lost in the agony of losing her son, fell into a darkness she couldn't escape. The pain of separation consumed her, spiraling her into depression and anxiety. As the days passed, her health deteriorated rapidly. Her heart ached for the son who had become a stranger to her.Meanwhile, Kabir found joy in the soft glow of Erica's pregnancy. She was blossoming, her body slowly changing as the months went by, and Kabir, in his joy, became a pillar of care and concern. His protective nature over her was unwavering, but there was a kind o

    The night spent on , each minute feeling like an eternity as she cried, the weight of Kabir's words pressing down on her like a suffocating blanket. She was terrified of losing him, terrified that the fragile bond they had built was on the verge of shattering.Erica buried her face in her hands, her fingers trembling as she recalled the pain in Kabir's eyes when he had spoken. The magnitude of what he had said loomed over her like a dark cloud, and she felt utterly lost. But amidst the despair, a flicker of resolve ignited within her. She wiped her tear-streaked face with the back of her hand, inhaling deeply to collect her strength. She couldn't let fear dictate her actions any longer.----------------------------------------------Next morning ------------------------Kabir stood under the shower, the water cascading over him, yesterday night was hard for him ....he was feeling so frustrated and vulnerable ..so much going on in his mind so much so that in a way he was trying to was

    "You think I cheated on you?" His voice was low, hoarse, as if it had been a long time since he'd spoken the words. "I never needed to do that, Erica." He took a step forward, his gaze piercing hers. "If I wanted, I could have anyone I want. But I wasn't interested in anyone... apart from you."Erica stood frozen, her heart racing as she tried to make sense of the storm of emotions in his eyes. Her hands trembled at her sides, the weight of his words suffocating her."And if there had been someone else in my life," he continued, the bitterness in his tone cutting through the air, "I know you think I could trade anything for business, but the truth is, Erica... I would've never married you if I was having an affair. Never." His voice cracked slightly as the words fell from his lips, the rawness of his confession making her feel small, helpless."You know," Kabir's voice softened, a distant, painful memory creeping into his words, "My dad loved my mom, or so he always said.

    Erica's pov----------------I lay on the bed, my eyes fixed on Kabir's profile as he watched the movie . I had been waiting for what felt like an eternity for him to acknowledge my presence, but he didn't...my mind wandering to the tension between us.Slowly, I began to inch my way towards him, my movements deliberate and cautious. I didn't want to startle him, but I needed to break the silence that had been suffocating me for weeks. I slowly placed a hand on his torso, my face inches from his neck. I could feel the stiffness in his body, but he didn't say a word. He tried to remove my hand, but I held firm, my heart pounding in my chest.I leaned in, my nose touching his skin, and began to give him soft kisses near his ear while muttering "sorry" over and over again. I knew it was a risk, but I was desperate to reconnect with him, to make him see me, to hear me.Suddenly, Kabir's voice cut through the air, his tone firm but controlled. "Erica, stop it!" he saidI didn't back down.

    Erica's pov ---------------------As I blinked awake, the familiar haze of sleep dissipated, revealing the stark emptiness beside me. Kabir hadn’t come to bed again, and the realization sent a surge of irritation through me. Just then, I caught sight of the relentless downpour outside. I swung my legs over the side of the bed and padded toward the balcony, the sound of rain drumming against the pavement growing louder with each step. The sky was in a shade of gray, heavy clouds swirling ominously, with flashes of lightning in between that illuminated the world for a split second. As I was watching A crack of thunder followed, sending a shiver down my spine, and I took a step back to inside, heart racing.I made my way downstairs so that I could ask for Kabir . As I descended the final few steps, I spotted him near the entrance, his hand resting on his waist, deep in conversation with the driver. Kabir’s expression was of an annoyance , his gaze fixed on the stormy landscape outside

She winced, pressing her palms against her temples, where a pounding headache throbbed with intensity.The memories of the previous night flickered in and out like a faulty light bulb. Just as she was beginning to calm herself, a soft knock interrupted her thoughts."Good morning, mam!" a cheerful voice chimed as the maid entered, a bright smile lighting up her face. She placed a tray on the bedside table with a gentle clatter.Erica squinted at the tray. "What is this? And where...where is Kabir?" she asked, her voice shaky as she examined the plate of toast and the glass of lemon water.The maid hesitated, glancing down at the floor as if searching for the right words.

    The car pulled up to the bungalow parking lot, and Kabir stepped out from his side. As he reached the front of the vehicle, Erica hurried out as well and took hold of his hand. "Kabir, please listen to me! Just this once, baby... I’m begging you," she pleaded with a tone of urgency. "Erica, it's already very late at night , let me go and sleep please ," he replied, attempting to move ahead removing her hold but something made him pause. He glanced at her, his eyes narrowing. “Also, I’m very glad your ankle healed so fast,” he added, scratching the back of his ear while glancing at her injured ankle that had been sprained just moments earlier.Erica gaze dropped to her ankle, and she immediately attempt to lift it while feigning a wince of pain...ouch...no..no...it still hurts..He turned away, shaking his head as he walked towards the entrance of the bungalow.

He was dressed in a sleek black shirt and jeans that fit him just right. every detail of his attair was perfect. She leaned against the doorframe, watching him in silence for a moment before stepping closer. "Are you going somewhere?" Erica’s voice was laced with curiosity, but Kabir didn’t even acknowledge her presence at first. His eyes remained focused on his reflection as he adjusted his shirt, then bent down to slide on his shoes, all the while whistling a carefree tune.Erica raised an eyebrow, the question lingering in the air. “Kabir, I’m askingyou… where are you going, dressing up like this?”Kabir didn’t answer Instead, he stood up, still whistling, as if he
