I don't how...he even said that I only bring shame to the family it's the first time I can do something beneficial for them.. Just like HIS best son that Monster Kabir I don't know what he get by sitting in that boring office. mom also annoy me to go there but I m not interested it's my life I m so young ,rich handsome why would I waste my time in that boring office... there are such pretty girls around anyway I am going to marry Erica for my father and after this I will ask him whatever I want and about Erica I am sure will have fun and when I will get annoyed I will simply divorce her.... that's it that the plan for now... so tomorrow is my engagement...I need to sleep now!! ---------------------------------------------- The engagement went smooth...anay behaved well with Erica and everyone so Erica was very happy too.....day after tomorrow they have a grand wedding and Kabir is not seen in the engagement...his father hopes he will make it to the marriage!! ---------------------------------------------- It's the wedding day everything is set anay is watching himself in mirror then his phone rang "Hello"! Hey anay rachit here...where are you man...why were you not picking my calls... remember we had planned a Thailand trip the ticket are confirmed yaar...where are you man!!! "Ohhh...I forgot I was in middle of something dude!!" Anay said So I m landing from Korea today and we have a flight tomorrow morning you are coming na!!!! Bro we got such hot chic arranged there Prithvi, aakarsh , Rohan all are coming and guess what you ex flam Maya is also joining it's going to be a blast , you are coming na!!! Anay after taking a long pause said "yupp!!! I m coming I will meet you guys directly at the airport , see you all soon" with this he hung up the call I m sorry dad...I m not going to sacrifice my life ...I m not ready for this marriage and with this he left and note and left the marriage hall!!! The marriage time came close and anay was not found Erica's father panicked thinking what will happen....he pleaded rajeshwar randhawa to do something otherwise his family's reputation will be tarnished.... rajeshwar took this chance and asked the land for solving this issue... Erica's Father got shocked listening this but thinking about diva and the media gossip he gave in to his demand Rajeshwar called kabir and asked him to marry Erica if he wants to be the MD and he also promised to give him freehand in pinnacle...Kabir never thought of getting married but this offer was too tempting...his father also told him about the land deal... After thinking for a while Kabir got ready he said meet the girl once ( Kabir hasn't seen her nor he knows her name) On the other hand Erica was broken mess...when Kabir entered before she could turn and see who came Kabir said "our parents want us to marry...let me tell you very clear aa..ya Anika ..I am marrying you because of my father because in return I m going to get what I want ..I don't want this marriage thing so if you willing to live with a tag of marriage without an actual marriage then you are most welcome and if not you can deny by yourself...you , this marriage our relationship will hold no importance to me if we get into in...and this is something you should know clearly...think about it , and tell me after a while " with that he went and closed the door with a thud! ---------------------------------------------- Erica felt insulted and heartbroken with whatever Kabir said and the way he said... she straight went to her dad to tell she is not gonna marry this arrogant person but when she reached her father's room her father and mother was talking Her father said " I just hope Kabir agrees to this marriage I can't take it anymore" "But we don't know what kind of a person he is , we didn't even see him earlier " her mother said "I don't care!!! Erica has to get married to him I m not going to spoil diva's life the gossip of her dating anay is already talk of the town of she didn't get married today none is going to marry her , we are not like randhawa's . Their reputation will not get hampered but we will get doomed for sure. Erica has to marry him that's it" her father said After listening to all this Erica decided to get married to Kabir no matter what And with this she and Kabir got married in a very machanical marriage ceremony where neither Kabir nor Erica even took a glance of eachother.. ---------------------------------------------- Erica was standing infront of the mirror in Kabir's room... thinking about what had happened with her when the door knock got open with that Kabir came in and immediately got up and started looking the ground. "Why are you standing there , aren't you tired of the drama... anyways if you want you can continue whatever you were doing that's really not my concern" Kabir said "You can live your life I will live mine but just remember the fact that you are married to me , won't you say something!!??" He said "Erica!!" She said What??? He said My name is Erica not Anika she said and raising her head she looked into his eyes...Kabir saw her for the first time and their eyes met ... It was like a lightning in the sky ....and they looked eachother for a brief period of time and then he went out of the room!!!It was a morning after such eventful night....Erica got up she looked around none was there . After a while she came out of her bed got ready and went to the dinning area . Smriti randhwa was sitting there Erica went to her and touched her feet . She held Erica and stoped her from doing so, the she said " I really thought anay loved you , I don't know what suddenly happened if you had came here after marrying him it would have been a different day , but now things are something else , you are married to Kabir....I really feel sorry for you!!! It's going to be very tough, I m really concerned for you!! Erica was not able to understand what she was saying so tried to change the topic and said aunty do I have make something it's the first day! Smriti smiled and said none has any right to direct anything that related to Kabir....you do whatever you like I don't have any role in any of it...take care ' with that she went Erica just got rooted where she was standing after a while of
Erica was thinking about smirit's words....from the very beginning she felt something was off between her mother in law and Kabir but today when she called Anay her only son she felt there is something she doesn't know about!!!! The way everyone is so intimidated by him...she wanted to know about Kabir but whom she can talk to...none tells him anything about him!!!! She decided to know about him . In the evening when Erica came down stairs she got to know everyone is out of the house for some inauguration, so she went to make a coffee for herself when Sarita tai came and said "bahu give me the cup I will make it"....Sarita Tai is a 57 year old woman who works for the randhawa family for decades. "No , Tai I will make it myself let me make a cup for you too and don't bother I come form a middle class background, I'm habitual to do house chores " Erica said "But now you are Kabir Baba's wife you are not an ordinary girl" saying this she took the cup and made the coffee for both
Erica went away from the kitchen after saying everything to himAnay was flabbergasted by Erica's behaviour she was so soft spoken and gentle to him previously and now when she was talking in such a way , he didn't know what to say. Anay still didn't understand the gravity of his previous action, so he was expecting Erica to forgive him in sometime.----------------------------------------------Kabir was in the board room meeting saurav was reading the clauses of the contract but Kabir was thinking about Erica and Anay... even after clearly stating Anay to stay away from her and not talk to her . How can they both talk so normally. Whatever Anay was he never messed with Kabir on anything but today even after warning him he was talking to her!!! None has any say in whatever is related to Kabir whether it is office or home ..then how come he ignored his warning!!!The meeting ended and contract got finalised..after few more hours at works at 9 pm Kabir went home... Saurav was very surp
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
----------------------------------------------Erica came into her and locked the door putting a hand on her chest she tried to calm her ranged breath....what just happened?? She thought... it's not the first time she got this close to a man , she has danced with Anay in much closer proximity before...but the way her body reacted has never happened before...----------------------------------------------At Erica's House Erica was sitting in her room with her mother and diva...."Erica beta are you upset with us?" Her mom asked."No mumma!!!! Why do you think so??? In fact I should ask you whether you guys forgive me for the embarrassment I caused!!!" Erica said in haste."Beta we didn't even call you after marriage even your pagphera rasam was not done according to the custom... actually beta after a week of your marriage your dad had a minor attack!! She said in slow voice."What??? And you didn't tell me!!" Erica said being shocked "Actually beta your father didn't want to bother
The next morning.... Erica was going in the kitchen when she heard,"How was your lunch with Kabir yesterday???" Anay asked in a sarcastic tone Erica tried to walk ignoring his questions when he said."So weird na...few months back I was the centre of your universe then how come your feelings just vanished" he said in a taunting voice."Exactly the way you vanished that day, I don't know what game you are playing now for your entertainment but let me tell You the only feeling I have for you now is disgust!!" With this she left form thereErica went in the kitchen "Ohh...bahu you are here ,please give these fruits and protein Shake to Kabir baba he is in his gym " tai said forwarding a tray to her."I won't go Tai ,last time he scolded me so much for this...you tell Sunita for this." She said making a sad face."It's nothing like that bahu , I told you about his anger na!!! He must have been angry that day , I would have asked Sunita but she is with Bade sahab... And his gym is on th
"It feels very bad to see you with his used product......"We both know how Anay's love is ....""They were so much in love.... "Samaira's word were ringing in kabir's ears....he picked up the vash and broke it ....he pulled his hair in frustration...then he opened his laptop and scroll through Erica's account...and their it was!!!! it has four pictures of these types 👇>A party group picture with many people , where anay and Erica was standing beside eachother and anay's hand was on Erica's shoulder and he was kissing on the side of her forehead. With caption "Making memories ❤️"> A picture of their interlocked hands with the caption "source of happiness" > A cat filter pic with caption "Being goofy 😛"> A pic where Erica's hands were on Anay's eye and they were standing facing each other and laughing with caption "With you I live.🥰"Kabir shutdown his laptop in anger ...he felt like burning everything....how could Erica do this , she is tarnishing his image publicly!!!Anay w
"yes of course I knew he was your lover but since we got married I expected some sort of decency from you side ...after all the kind of embarrassment he caused was unfathomable!!!" Kabir said while crushing the ciger in the ashtray!!!"What do you mean???" Erica said not being able to understand his wordsHe came closer to her "You and me both know that our marriage has no feelings involved but yes, my name is surely involved...and when you put pics like these on social perform after being my wife ...it hampers my image!!! He said showing her Insta post in his phone.Erica got startled by seeing it "Kabir ... it's not like that , these are old pics and after our marriage there was so much happening in my life that I didn't even open my Instagram...you can check my phone ..I haven't been logged in from a long time ... that's why it's not removed.....I'm sorry that this caused problems to you !!! She said showing him her phone!!" Look Erica!!! Neither I m intrested in you ,your feeli
Anay slumped over the bar, his eyes glassy from the numerous drinks he had consumed. His friends, Rachit and Ananya and Rohan sat on either side of him, listening intently as he rambled on about Erica ."What I didn't do for this girl..." Anay began, his voice laced with bitterness. "I chased her around like a puppy, sending her stupid cards and flowers, chocolates... roaming around restaurants like a small-town couple. I pretended to be a funny guy just to pull her up... then finally, she accepted my proposal and got into a relationship with me."Anay took a gulp of his drink, his eyes flashing with anger. "And what did that bastard Kabir do? Nothing... absolutely nothing apart from gatecrashing my wedding. And she's wrapped around him like anything... I mean, how? When she was with me, she had always pushed me away, showed me tantrums whenever I tried to get close to her... so I thought maybe because she's a middle-class girl... but look at her now... she didn't have any problem get
Erica emerged from the bathroom, steam swirling around her like a silken veil. The white bathrobe clung to her, softening her figure, while her hair was wrapped in a towel, droplets of water still glistening on her skin. She stepped to the mirror, the cool glass reflecting her as she began to apply moisturizer to her hands and neck.As she focused on her reflection, a flicker of awareness jolted through her. In the mirror, she saw Kabir, propped against the headboard of the bed, his dark eyes fixed intently on her. He had woken late, the remnants of sleep still lingering in his gaze. The air thickened between them . Time stretched in that charged silence, each heartbeat echoing like a distant drum.Kabir's expression was unreadable, a storm brewing beneath the surface, his eyes a mix of longing and restraint. She could feel the tension curling around them, a palpable force that made her breath hitch. After a moment that felt like eternity, Erica turned slowly, her heart racing as she
Smriti stepped into the kitchen, the rich aroma of something sweet wafting through the air. There was Erica, her back turned, focused on her task."What are you making, Erica, in the afternoon?" Smriti asked her expression a mixture of surprise and disdain. Erica glanced up, a mix of surprise and delight crossing her features. "Oh, aunty! I'm making gulaab jamun for Kabir!" She smiled before returning to her work.A flicker of irritation ignited within Smriti. "If I'm not mistaken, I don't think he eats sweets," she said, her tone laced with mockery.Erica shot her a cold smile, choosing silence over a pointless argument. Smriti pressed on,. "You think sweets will win you a place in his life?Erica looked up to her again.... listening to her taunting voice.She folded her arms, the challenge clear in her stance." I mean you can try for sure but I don't think it will work....I guess you are mistaking his behaviour towards you as him being in love with you tck..tck....but that's not
Erica entered the room and found Kabir getting ready in front of the mirror. *He had just come back-why is he dressing up now?* She stepped forward, positioning herself slightly to the side of the mirror so she could face him directly. "Are you going somewhere?" she asked, her curiosity piqued."Yes! I'm going for a business dinner. We're planning a multi-investor hotel chain across the coastline, so it's basically about that," he replied.Ohhh...*I thought we'd have dinner together.* Disappointment flickered through her mind but she mask it. "How many people will be there?""Aaaaa... me, samaira seven or eight more businessmen, and their immediate teams."*Ohhh... so the bitch is going too.* The thought stung, but she did say anything. "Take care, okay?" he said, ready to leave.Erica reached out, gently tugging at his coat collar to bring him closer. "Kab, aaoge?" she asked softly, locking her gaze with his. It was the first time someone had asked him that. Kabir felt an unfami
Erica's Pov---------------------His phone rang, breaking the spell between us. I pulled away from his embrace, still sitting in his lap, and watched as Kabir glanced from me to his phone. "Can I take it, please?" he asked softly.I nodded, tucking my hair behind the ear. "Hello, Aditya. What file have you sent? It has so many errors," he said, his voice firm and serious as he started scolding. But even as he spoke, his hand continued to gently caress my back, making me feel the affection in that moment as if assuring me that I matter to him.I couldn't help but trace my fingers along his ear, studying his face so closely. I felt a warmth spreading through me as I stroked his cheek with my thumb.It's all wrong! Is this really what we're going to present at the meeting? There's so much error!" He continued, and I could sense the tension in his voice, like he was holding back a shout-probably because I was here. I love this side of him. He could manage his reactions so well if he wa
It's been more than a month since Erica's miscarriage.... slowly she has started accepting the situation....she was striving towards getting normal....she had started coming down for breakfast and dinner... sometimes she even started having small conversations with Tai and her family....Kabir and her relationship was almost similar to what it was before the only difference was sometimes Erica reply to him and many times she doesn't.... inspite of her not giving much importance...Kabir tried to break the ice between them in Whatever little ways he could!!!!----------------------------------------------Erica was organizing her closet when Kabir entered the room from work...he positioned himself by the bed ... expecting her to notice him...however, when she kept focusing on her task and didn't acknowledge him...after some thought...he eventually called out to her..."Erica!!!!"She turned her gaze back to him ..."Aaaa....will you come here for a second." He said softly Erica looked a
Kabir and Erica drove off towards home ....after an hour of driving Kabir stopped the car near a small tea place....he was having tea...Erica was also sitting taking the cup..Suddenly, a group of children approached, their eyes sparkling with excitement. "Didi, will you join us in making clay pots?" one of them asked, hopeful.Erica hesitated, biting her lip. "I don't know anything about it, baby," she replied, trying not to make them feel bad."Oh, come on, didi! It's easy! Look, so many people are trying!" they urged, gesturing enthusiastically.Erica glanced at Kabir, who encouraged her with a nod. With a deep breath, she joined the children, kneeling beside a small wheel. Kabir leaned back, enjoying his tea while watching her from a distance. The children guided her, their laughter filling the air as the clay began to take shape under her hands. A subtle smile blossomed on Erica's face, a rare spark of joy in her expression.A passerby approached Kabir, asking for directions by t
Erica stood at the terrace, her fingers wrapped tightly around the railing as she gazed out into the distance. Anay's footsteps approached slowly, and he came to stand beside her, making his presence known. She briefly glanced at him before turning her gaze back to the view."I am sorry for your loss, Erica," Anay began. He let out a sigh "I won't lie to you... your pregnancy was not good news for me. But still, I never wanted anything like that to happen to you."Erica remained silent, her expression unreadable."Actually, whatever happened was not for you, but for the man you are with. He definitely doesn't deserve a child. Maybe that's why God did this." "Can you just please shut up? I don't want to talk," Erica interjected, her voice tense."I know you have developed a soft corner for him," Anay continued. "I so wish I could tell you what he thinks about you and this relationship in which you are so invested.""Look Anay, I don't want your opinion on my marriage, okay? Whatever w
Kabir was getting ready for his office....since the miscarriage happened he is going to the office for a very less time...he stays mostly at home... though it was of no use because Erica rarely let him be around her...but still he was there all the time.Kabir was looking in the mirror wearing his watch. When Erica called him from behind she was seated on the bed propped up against the headboard ."Kabir!!!!!" She called slowly.He looks behind and their eyes meet."Because of my carelessness....we lost our baby....but you didn't say a word...you get angry on everything but you don't have any reaction for our baby....was it...was it not important to you Kabir???" Her voice falters as tears brim in her eyes....Kabir came near the bed and stood beside her....Erica looked up to his eyes...."You are important to me" He said wiping her tears with his thumb "it was an accident Erica....it wasn't your fault."he softly tucked her hair ....he bend a little and kissed her forehead softly ,
