*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
*Adithya Pov* “I heard that there is some strike today.” She said while brushing her hair. “Yes! But we don’t know whether it is a serious strike or a calm strike.” I said, folding the newspaper. “I think even colleges may get a holiday.” She said, frowning and turned towards me. “Is there a holiday?” I asked her confused because she is getting ready right for college itself right. “I don’t think at present there is any but if the strike is even little more than a calm one there can be one at any time of the day.” She replied. “If you get a holiday, why don’t we both go to your home?” I suggested thinking it would be good for us to spend some more time together and also to be liked by her family. “Sure! That is a really good idea.” She said smiling. “By the way, that is my house and this is my home.” She added, and I smiled shaking my head. “Let’s go!” I said dragging her outside the room. “Just give me a call, and I will come here. From here, we will go to your house.” I sa
*Janice Pov* At present, I am staring at the ceiling still lying in his arms and by hearing his breathing I can say that he is also awake, but we both are not saying a single word to each other. This is what happening for nearly a week. Our alarm still didn’t ring and from the past few days, we both are waking up way before the usual time. He has a strong grip on my shoulders while I have a solid grip on his waist. I am not planning to move away, and I know he is also not planning to do that. We both jerked a little hearing the alarm ring tone and I calmly started saying, “We need to...” “Get up.” He finished it. We both got up and started getting ready with silence surrounding us. I don’t even know what to even say to him, and I don’t know what I am feeling. When he dropped me near my college, I got down and turned to see him staring in our café direction. “I... may go to my parent's house in the evening. You need not to pick me up.” I said, looking at him and then he stared
*Janice Pov* “I think we have everything we need.” I said to myself looking at the bag which consists of a thick blanket and a few food items. “Looking good.” I heard Adithya’s voice from behind. “I thought I would not fit into my old dress, but I did surprisingly.” I said, looking down at my jeans and a top. “I can understand your thoughts. You have become fat.” He suddenly said making my eyes go wide. I turned to look at him and saw that he is controlling his laugh. I smiled sweetly at him, at which he stopped laughing and got a look of caution. “Yes! I have become fat because I am not a model or don’t even have a dream to be one right.” I said, shaking my head and started walking towards the door holding the bag. Before I can open the door, he stopped holding my hands from behind and made the bag fall on the floor. “Turn around.” He whispered, but I still looked at the door. He as usual pinched my waist, making me turn around immediately. I gazed at him while he stared bac
*Adithya Pov* “So we will be going there in your Brother’s car?” I asked, walking towards my bike where she is already standing. “Yeah!” she replied, frowning. “What?” I asked her frowning back. “Nothing!” she replied, shaking her head. “Rajeev and Raji will reach the spot of the picnic in their own car I guess.” I said and took out the helmet from the bike. “Hmm...” she mumbled and I turned to look at her once again to see what she is thinking. She got behind me holding the bag in her hands, and I started the bike after she placed her hand on my shoulder for support. A few minutes later, I calmly asked, “Do you think we too should get a car? I mean I have enough saved money, and it won’t matter.” “Hmm...” that’s all she mumbled, making me frown. “What are you thinking?” I asked after reaching her parent’s house. “Nothing!” she replied, shaking her head and walked away towards her Bhai who is standing near the gate. She started speaking to him in whispers while he calmly n
*Janice Pov* They finally stopped pushing the swings, making us breathe in relief. I glanced at Abby and saw that even she was scared until now. We both glanced back to see them squeezing their hands by themselves. So that’s why they stopped as their hands were paining. Abby nodded at me, and I nodded at her back when the swings came into rest. We both got up from them and took small sticks, which were on the ground. I rushed behind Adithya while Abby rushed behind Bhai threatening to beat them. They both just laughed and ran away from us. “Don’t tell me you didn’t enjoy it?” Adithya shouted glancing back a little at me. “No!” I replied, shouting back and we finally reached near the trees. “Sorry!” he said, turning around suddenly making me crash into his chest. Before I could move back, he placed his hands around me hugging me tightly. I glanced up to see him already looking at me with a smile. We both stood like that controlling our rapid breathes with all running, and I pl
#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
