*Janice Pov* “What are you doing?” he asked entering the kitchen. “I am cooking food as you can see.” I replied and didn’t turn back as I am already mad with him saying the number every time from few days. “Where is Mom and how is she allowing you to cook?” he asked shocked. “Aunty and Uncle went to some function, and I don’t know when they will return. Roti is ok for you, right?” I asked him even though it is almost finished. “Let me do the Roti’s.” he said, and I can hear him opening the bowl in which flour is mixed. “Actually, I already finished doing them, and this is the last.” I said. “I want one extra.” He said after a few minutes, and I shrugged. “Is it finished?” I asked him reducing the flame a little. “Wait!” he replied and then I felt him standing behind me. “Here.” he whispered in my ear, and I shook my head to look down and not burn the Roti he made. But seeing that I did only one thing and that is fuming. He slowly whispered “How is it?” I continued to fume
*Adithya Pov* I woke up yawning hearing the alarm and saw that it is raining outside. And the cool air is filled inside the room, making Janice snuggle more into me. I want to sleep like this and not move at all, but today I am sure duty will be more as there will be few problems erupting because of the rain. “Janice!” I said, shaking her. “Don’t move! I am feeling cold.” she said not allowing me to move away. “We will get late.” I said yawning more. “You must be dreaming. How can the climate be cold in the morning? I am sure it is still midnight.” she said, but didn’t open her eyes. I chuckled hearing her and immediately pinched her waist like yesterday making her eyes open up in a second with a glare. “Why do you keep on doing that?” she asked, yawning and looked at the clock. “Your waist is cute.” I replied, and we both fell into silence with the awkwardness. “Go and get ready.” She mumbled. I nodded and immediately got up from the bed hoping she didn’t mind the comment.
*Janice Pov* “I will bring some water.” I said, getting up from the lawn where everyone is sitting after the dinner. When I pour them into few glasses and placed them on the tray, I felt him standing behind me. “Let me help you.” He said, placing his hands on the tray from behind me itself. I slapped his arms away and held it in my hands. I turned around to see him staring at me with a raised eyebrow. “I am unable to talk to both of our parents looking into their eyes.” That’s all I said walking away from him. Surprisingly, both our parents started conversing with each other, and that’s a relief for me. I walked back towards Bhai and Abby where Adithya’s friends are also sitting. “Why is he looking at you?” Rani asked in a whisper, making me look at him sitting beside Bhai and like she said he is staring at me. “Nothing!” I replied, smiling and then he placed a plate with cake in it in front of me. “Rani! See he brought a cake piece for you.” I said smiling at her. “He is so
*David Pov* I entered our room and threw the necktie on the floor along with the briefcase. I brushed my hair feeling nothing but irritation. “What happened to you now?” Parul asked, and I looked up to see her rolling her eyes and typing on her laptop. “Is that how you ask and what you do when you see the person you love is sad or even irritated?” I asked shouting at her. “What else should I do to the person who comes home late?” she asked shrugging. “Why is it bothering you? I came early for one month in the beginning, but you are always busy so why should I come home early?” I asked her back. “Why are you shouting at me? I don’t care when you come home. It is your choice, and it’s not like you will learn what you should be with the person you love now.” She replied. “What is wrong with you Parul? Why can’t you behave like some at least a girlfriend and take care of me or have some care for me?” I asked sitting in front of her. “I can ask the same question David. You don’t ca
\*Janice Pov* “Let’s go somewhere today.” Adithya said as I am standing in front of the mirror and brushing my hair. “Today is Sunday, Adithya.” I said, turning towards him. “And?” he asked, frowning. “I go to my parent's home.” I replied smiling. “Just miss for today.” He said shrugging getting down from the bed. “I actually go to church right.” I said and then his eyes widened a little. “I forgot about it. I will also come with you.” He said taking out his dress. “Are you sure?” I asked him frowning. “Yeah!” He replied confidently and after a few minutes, I understood that he is serious. “Ok! Let us go there directly, and I will inform my family that they need not to wait for me.” I said and called Bhai but didn’t say anything about Adithya coming with me. We both reached the church and went inside to meet my family already there in the fifth row. I gestured him to follow me and we both calmly sat beside them. “Janice! What is he…” Dad started to ask. “Shh Dad! Don’t ta
*Adithya Pov* “What is happening here?” I asked Rajeev getting down from my bike. “I don’t know but some two cars got hit by each other. Even though no one is hurt a guy in one car has lost his temper towards the girl in another car." He explained. “I will go and see to it, but first you go and search where is that traffic police who is supposed to take care of this situation.” I said, and he nodded walking away. I walked towards the crowd and reached near the cars with the crowd parting themselves seeing me. Then I heard the man cursing the girl. How can he do that? I thought and walked towards the man. “No matter whose mistake it is you can’t curse a girl like that.” I said and he immediately looked at me. “But see what she did, sir. She was coming with over speed, which is a wrong thing.” He said and then I saw that his car is little damaged. “Excuse me, miss?” I called as she is with her back towards us calling someone. She turned and looked straight at me shocked with te
*Janice Pov* “I think that’s all for today. Don’t forget to revise once again at home.” I said, closing the book and they all nodded before getting up to leave. “Janice! Are you ready? All our colleagues must already leave for the conference hall.” Maam said walking outside the class beside mine. “Let’s go Maam and don’t panic. There is so much time.” I said smiling. “You need not to call me Maam, Janice. We are colleagues so call me by my name.” She said like every day. “I will try.” I said, smiling and entered the hall in which only few people are present. “What is the deal to have this meeting today?” Maam asked. “We have to wait and see I guess.” I replied and took our place at the corner. After a few minutes the hall filled with the lectures and then, the Principal entered holding few files. “Is he going to remove us from the job or what?” Maam asked again. “I don’t know, but I hope not.” I replied. “I am sure you all must be waiting to know what the matter is to call
*Janice Pov* “So you will return in the evening?” I asked him brushing my hair. “Yeah! My bus will leave in the afternoon.” He replied and I sighed, looking at my phone, which is in loudspeaker mode. “Ok!” I said, taking the phone into my hands. “Bye!” he said, and I said back before hanging up the phone. It’s been four days since he left, but he calls me everyday in the morning and in the evening. Today he is going to return, and I smiled at the news. I went outside the room to see Aunty and Uncle waiting for me. I became so close to these two in these four days and they too, like me now, which is important to me, but I wish Dad and Mom will also become close to Adithya like this. I left the house and took a bus rushing towards the stop as I am really getting late with all the little talks I had with his parents. In the morning classes, I kept on thinking what should I say when he returns home? Should I say that I miss him or should I keep quiet? Should I ask him about his
#Two years after the day they both got married# *Janice Pov* “I am fine!” I mumbled holding his hand. "Fine?! If I was even a second late, you would have fallen down already.” He said, shaking his head, and we continued to climb down the stairs. “I am just a little tired, that’s all.” I said when we reached the dining table. “That’s why I asked you all not to celebrate the anniversary yesterday, and now you are tired because of that.” He said scolding his parents. “We all forgot your first anniversary last year, so we want to make it up to you both for the second one. That’s why we celebrated it yesterday.” Aunty said looking back at him. “By the way you didn’t complain to any of us during the celebration.” I pointed out smiling at him. “That’s because my wife is so smart here.” He said, narrowing his eyes at me. “What did I do?” I asked him innocently. “You know I will complain or even scold them so that’s why you asked them to even arrange a baby shower for you right? Do y
*Janice Pov* “No!” I groaned hearing the last days plan. Nevertheless, no one heard it as all the guys said the same word along with me. Adi is the only one who heard it and raised his eyebrow looking at me. “Come on! All the girls accepted your wishes and didn’t go for shopping not a single time. Now let them enjoy it.” Kamal said trying to make everyone accept. “We will not come with you guys for shopping.” One guy said, and every guy accepted. “Ok! We don’t have a problem with that at all. We all girls will go and do it.” Few girls said getting up. “Why would any of you care if we go alone or not right?” I asked getting up with them. “Yeah! She is right. No one of you cares for us at all and doesn't mind for our safety too.” Pooja pushed my line. “What are you doing?” Adi asked in a whisper. “You proved that emotional blackmail will work right? So I am helping them and look at the guys faces. It is so fun.” I replied smiling at him. “Fine!” All the guys shouted hearing th
*Janice Pov* “Wake up!” I groaned hearing that and turned away not wanting to open my eyes at all. Then I felt a little cold, so I patted beside me for him, but it is empty. I opened my eyes a little and asked, “Where are you?” “I just woke up and going to get ready.” He replied. “I will wake up too, but just stay here for a few minutes.” I said closing my eyes again. “No! We will get late.” He said sighing. “Ok! I will sleep in this cold by myself.” I said hearing him and sighed myself. I turned on my side with my back towards him and started to drift off into sleep with this cold feeling itself. In a few seconds, I felt him lay down beside me, and he pulled me towards him with a strong hold on my waist. I smiled into his hold, and he turned me around before I could actually sleep. “You just blackmailed me. Do you know that?” he asked accusingly. “It worked right?” I asked him back opening my eyes. “You are dangerous.” He replied, smiling at me. “And I love you.” I said,
*Janice Pov* “I don’t want to wear it, Adi.” I said, pushing away the big sweater. “But you will get cold, Jaan. Listen to me please.” He said and at last I indeed wore that. We both walked outside and saw that everyone is reaching the busses. I glanced at all the girls, and I started removing the sweater as they all are looking great while I am covered in this stupid sweater. “What are you thinking? Don’t remove it.” Adi stopped me again. I glared at him before walking towards the bus where our pair is seated. Pooja and Kamal even went to an end and divided all the couples in two groups to not have any confusion. “Nice sweater, Janice.” Giri said, laughing and I wish I can pour water on his head again like yesterday. “Hey! Don’t say anything to her.” Adi said while I turned to glare at him for making me wear this. After getting on the bus, I looked outside the window and didn’t even say a single word. Finally, we reached a place where they selected for all of us to explore.
*Janice Pov* I rubbed my palms, feeling sting which is nothing but the side effect of the slaps I just delivered. I am not wanting to slap anyone again. I decided and started rubbing it more hoping the feeling goes away. Then I felt arms circling me from behind. I leaned into his hold and asked, “Did your work finished?” “Yeah!” He replied, whispering in my ear, making me feel ticklish. After a few seconds, I placed my hands over his and heard a small hiss from behind. I looked down to see his knuckles becoming little red, and I can totally say that a bruise is going to appear. “Did you really?” I asked him shortly. “Yeah! Are you mad?” He asked, and I frowned. “I too slapped Parul. Are you mad at me?” I asked him back turning around in his hold. “First love is special, Jaan, but the love which we want to be last forever cannot be measured using even all the words in this world.” He explained, and I placed my palm over his cheek. “Then why will I be mad, Adi. Because I know
*Adithya Pov* “What?” we both mumbled getting up from the bench and saw all of our friends standing before us. “I never thought you would do this, Adithya. I mean we all thought you are the best guy in our whole college.” Kamal said shaking his head. “Don’t you have shame?” Another guy asked with the same disgust. “Hey! Don’t you dare to say anything bad about him. I will not spare any one of you.” Jaan shouted at them and for one second, I got stun with none of them in my mind as Jaan never shouts at all with anger. “Don’t make us start with you Janice. Do you even know what you are doing? You are like a bad example for all the women.” Pooja said, and I glared at her. How dare she says a word about my wife? I fumed and heard everyone saying one worst thing towards us and mainly at Jaan. “Shut up!” I shouted with all the power I can and silence occupied around us. “It will not be good for anyone to say anything to her.” I threatened looking at each of them. “You are defending
*Janice Pov* I calmly whispered in his ear “Leave me right now David otherwise I may just put poison at any time of the day in your food.” He stiffened and immediately moved back, gulping with fear. I moved my eyes away from Adi’s and gave one disgusted look to David before walking away from the room holding my phone tightly in my hands. “Janice! I am glad you are already here for dinner. I just hope everyone comes out of their room correctly like this without giving me extra work.” Pooja said smiling. “I am not hungry.” I said, walking away and at the same time I heard her calling Adi. I rushed outside the resort and started walking left side hugging myself with the cool air. I felt my heart squeezing itself with the scene in front of my eyes few minutes back. I never thought I am this stupid at all. I thought and felt tears falling down without any end. *Adithya Pov* I glanced at Janice and saw that she is walking away while I calmly whispered “If you don’t move your hands a
*Janice Pov* “Looks like they stopped somewhere.” Pooja said, looking at her mobile. “Did they call saying that?” I asked her frowning because I didn’t see her attending any call. “No! But some of them posted a scenery picture on the social site.” She replied smiling at me. “Don’t you use it?” another girl asked me. “Actually, I used to use it very much when I was in college, but later I didn’t. Now I guess I don’t even remember the password.” I replied smiling at them. “You should use it Janice. I am not saying that it is the most important part of life, but it will get you connect to the people who are far from you.” Pooja said. “You are right! I will after we return home.” I said, and they nodded. “Why don’t we go to our rooms and wait for them? They will take so much time to reach as they are stopping at every place they can.” Pooja said looking at us. “They are lucky that they can stop like that, but look at us. We gazed at the beautiful sceneries through the window, and
*Adithya Pov* “Just for fifteen days, Rajeev.” I said going through the files to finish the overall work before leaving for holiday. “Fifteen days? Who have get-together for those many days?” He asked shaking his head in surprise. "Actually, only ten days are for get-together. I am taking an extra five days leave to have a holiday with only Janice with me.” I explained. “Like a honeymoon? Then it is ok, but still ten days are not a small time. What is your batch thinking?” He asked again. “You are just jealous that you didn’t study in my college. Your college had a one-day party while my college friends are thinking about long holiday.” I replied laughing at his frowning face. “Fine! I am jealous and I so wish I can come with you guys.” He said sighing. “But anyway, just keep me posted because I am really curious about what will they do with all those days.” He added, and I accepted. “I didn’t think I would get permission for the leave.” I said getting up. “Our head loves us
