2024-10-29 19:42:56In the middle of the night, some madness came over me and I grabbed my phone and kept calling Aryan's number, not once but several times. The phone kept ringing but there was no response. I collapsed on my bed and cried with abandon, cursing my fate and hating myself for still caring for the man who had forgotten all about me. I woke up quite late and at first I hoped, quite childishly, that all that happened last night was a bad dream and I wouldn't be bundled off to marry a stranger, because I was a "burden" to my parents.
But reality crashed soon enough and I began to cry again. I checked my mobile desperately for any missed calls from Aryan, but of course there were none.
I kept myself almost locked up in my room the whole day and only spoke to Nargis Chachi who forced me to eat.
That night Vikram called me,

"I am not seeking forgiveness from you because I haven't forgiven myself in the first place, and I know I don't deserve it. But..." He began resignedly but Aryan cut him off. "I haven't come here to forgive you, but to thank you for saving my life as well as Miku's. Who am I to forgive you? Those who need to aren't here anymore, and I am sure they did it a long time ago." He slowly walked towards Sanjay and tried to touch his feet but Sanjay held his shoulders and looked at him so happily, eye to eye, man to man. But he felt the same tenderness and love towards him as he did when he held him as a baby for the first time. Sanjay just ruffled Aryan's hair affectionately as he could see that Aryan too was trying to control his emotions. To break the awkward pause, he looked around and offered a drink to Aryan. "Hmm

Police HeadQuarters, Office of the DIG of Police ======= Avinash along with Major Satpal Singh were watching DIG Digvijay Singh nervously as he went through the case facts with S P Siddharth and Public Prosecutor Yusuf Khan. After a nervous 10-minute wait, they were relieved to see their childhood friend Daggu as they fondly called him once, turn to them and give a curt nod, affirming that everything was in order. The DIG was also happy to meet two of his childhood friends and he understood their nervousness considering this is a civilian case and their stand in the witness box should be treated with caution and diligence. And that is why when the PP Yusuf Khan and SP approached him, he took a personal interest even though it wasn't a big case, as he realized its implications in culling the influence of Aishwarya Malhothra and h

After the long and tiring journey, Chandni, Atharv and Vikram hit the bed straight after reaching their new home in the night. But once she woke up in the early hours, Chandni explored the whole house. There were no staff at the house except a part time caretaker and she loved it more for that. Apparently, the caretaker would come later with all the provisions and necessities required for their stay. Chandni's first impulse was to call Aryan the moment she landed in Allahabad, but she was clueless on how to do so. He had no number to call! After some time, she suddenly remembered that she had Miku's number. Thinking that it would look highly inappropriate to call anyone at this hour, she decided to wait till later in the day or afternoon

Ratnesh looked at Kanhaiya defiantly before walking towards his father Rana."Ratnesh!! Why are you here? I have asked you to lie low in your friend's house and not come to this place. I want at least one of our members to be our eyes and ears out there! Why don't you take anything I ever say seriously!" Rana chastised his son."Baba please stop your lectures! I have been doing exactly what you wanted me to be ... eyes and ears out there and look who I found!!" He pulled his phone out and showed Rana a picture he took at the airport just an hour ago."Is that Chandni?? What is she doing there? And why were you at the airport? Did you know she was coming?" Rana asked perplexedly."No, I didn't know she was

Munnah came forward. "Of course Rana Bhai I can imitate Aryan's voice, his voice is still ringing in my ears from the day he tricked me at the airport. Miku's voice... If I hear it once, I can pick it up easily. No problem! " Munnah assured. "Why all this fuss of mimicking Aryan and Miku? Why can't we get Munnah to mimic Chandni's voice instead? All we need is to get Munnah talk to Aryan in Chandni's voice as if she was kidnapped!! Isn't that enough?" Ratnesh demanded. "Ratnesh Bhai, I am not good at mimicking female voices!!" Munnah pleaded and everyone laughed after a long time. "And that bastard Aryan... he is too clever!! What if I do manage to mimic Chandni but Aryan doesn't believe us?? We can't take any choices with that guy I tell you!! But more than that, I

After a few rings, a sleepy voice answered him. "I know you love your daughter very much Sanjay Ji, but is it really necessary to call at this hour?" Vikram asked, chuckling. "Vikram! I am offering no apologies for waking you up, but can you check if Chandni and Atharv are safe?" Sanjay asked anxiously. "What happened? Why are you asking me this?" Vikram's tone became immediately alert and Sanjay could hear his footsteps soon. "I will explain everything... Please first tell me they are safe!!" Sanjay implored once again. Vikram was puzzled and worried but didn't ask any more questions as he tiptoed his way to Atharv's bedroom as he knew Chandni slept there overnight.

For the first time the confident smile on Dev's face faltered. "Hmm Yes I think so Mrs. Bharadwaj. But if there is anything he does that you don't like, and you are too shy to tell him directly, maybe I can help you?" He looked hopefully at her. The waiter hovered around them, hoping they would order. "It's your choice!!" Dev handed over the menu to her. Chandni didn't bother to open it. She looked sweetly at the waiter and asked, "What are your signature dishes for entrees and mains here?" The waiter went through a long list of delectable dishes, which as per his recommendation were most sought after. Chandni randomly picked a few and asked them to be served as quickly as p

It was almost Seven pm and Dev had booked their dinner at Eight. Chandni opened the suitcase that Dev brought along with him, which was supposed to have all her clothes that she packed in Mumbai. But to her horror, it was practically empty except for some new underwear and casual clothes. As she made a thorough search to see if any of her clothes were in other suitcases, She recalled all the events of the afternoon After dumping their luggage at the hotel, they had a leisurely lunch, and strolled around the streets of shopping markets. Dev insisted on going back to the same shop where she bought the shorts she wore to the airport, and buy every combination of shorts and casual tops there, as he said "it made you look like a local and the 18-year-old I married." But Chandni suspected otherwise, the way his hungry

Mummy! Mummy!! Tell Daddy I want to come too.. I don't want to go and stay with Miku Chacha!! I am not going to eat this breakfast anymore till you agree to take me along." Atharv crossed his arms and looked at his parents furiously, after making sure that he finished all but a few spoons of the huge second serve of his favorite Kheer! "Hey Buddy!! Why are you saying you don't want to come and stay with me? I am hurt... deeply hurt! We are friends, remember!! Goa is seriously boring! All you do is sit in front of the beach and stare at waves!

A few months later. -------------------------- "Atharv... tell your mummy to hurry up otherwise we both are going to the function without her!" Aryan said in irritation, as he looked at his watch for the umpteenth time. "Daddy you can tell her whatever you want in person, because she is right behind you. Haha" Atharv pointed to his father with a jerk of his head, and went back to playing the video game on his phone. "Don't you start anything now!! As it is, I am in such a bad mood for spending so much time wearing this saree." Chandni didn't even let her husband open his mouth. Aryan groaned loudly. "Well, who asked you to wear this?

A flushed and pained Vikram slowly made his way out of the washroom towards his bed and sat down exhausted. He should have gone to the living room and joined others at Breakfast but he felt totally drained. Maybe he could rest for a few more moments. He sat upright against the propped up soft pillows on the head board and took some deep breaths. Just then he heard soft footsteps followed by a knock and his face broke into a smile. "Come in!" Chandni and Aryan entered with breakfast tray. "Aaah!! Mr. and Mrs. Bharadwaj! And with breakfast for me! I should thank my lucky stars huh!!" He cheered them jovially. Chandni gave the juice to Vikram with a smile and sat next to him on the bed. Vikram scooted over and tapped on the other side of the bed, inviting Ar

Her heart rejoiced at the thought itself, even though she was still depressed thinking about her Didi and the drastic step she took. Committing suicide is such a stupid cowardly thing. It is not a solution to any problem. In fact, you leave so much trauma and grief for all the people you leave behind, who loved you all your life, and they get sometimes permanently scarred from it. Vikram ji had been through so much trauma after Didi died. If only she knew how much he loved her!! He went out of the way to help everyone from his wife's family and fulfilled the last wish of his wife.

"Chandni, after I saw your father at Renu's Anniversary, I went through her things and found this letter addressed to me. And everything that I did afterwards was because of this. Please read it, it is nothing personal. And I have read it so many times that I know the contents of that letter by heart now." Chandni took the letter with trembling hands and began to read. ============================ Hi Vikram, By the time you read this letter, I am probably gone from your life, and this world. I know what I am going to do is a cowardly act, and something I will just add to the list of regrets that I now have in my life. I wish I was as brave as my mother who loved my father wholeheartedly and fought a

"I know Sanjayji, what wonders women can do, to turn our family life into a bliss. But I also knew what kind of people my relatives were, Renu didn't!” Vikram rubbed his eyes and sighed. “ They would pass snide remarks about her to my father and other relatives or bring up the topic of her family just to unsettle her. Her nervousness only made things worse, as it made all of us suspect that she was hiding something from us. She began to have trouble sleeping and I took her to the doctors who ordered her to do some lifestyle changes, exercises and also prescribed some sleeping pills, but requested her to use them as a last resort. She became fidgety and moody as time went on. I asked her plainly one day, was there anything I needed to know? She flatly denied that she was hiding anything from me but was hurt that I am not trusting her word. She accused me that I was trying to spy on her, which made me
