*Janice Pov* I waited for him standing near the college campus feeling nothing but dreadfulness inside. I really hope what I am thinking is completely wrong. “What happened?” Bhai asked when I sat in the passenger seat of his car. “I promised you right Bhai. If I think something is wrong, then I will come near you.” I said, looking at him when he stopped his car at the corner. “Yes! Did something happen?” he asked frowning. “I think so! I really need your support Bhai and don’t ask me anything until I am sure.” I replied, and he nodded frowning. Then I requested him to take me to the restaurant, and he did without asking a single question. After he parked the car, we both walked to the reception, and I calmly asked, “Is Mr.David Silva in room 240?” “Yes! Is there any problem? Because he asked us not to disturb him.” She said, and I gripped the table. “No problem!” I replied and walked towards the elevator along with Bhai. I pressed the floor button, and I can see him stoppin
*Ben Pov* “What are they doing here?” I asked Abby looking at the visitors. “What are they doing here?” Abby asked looking back. “I am asking the same Abby.” I replied, rolling my eyes and walked towards them, but my parents beat me and met them in the half way. “Please sit down. I will call Janice.” Mom said and started climbing the steps. “Dad! What is he doing here after everything he did?” I asked him. “Ben! We are trying to set Janice’s life. Don’t spoil it.” He said looking at me. “What happened to her? She needs a little time and after that she will be normal and her life is still good, and she knows what to do.” I said and Abby squeezed my hand. “What?” I asked her whispering. “They will not understand whatever we will say. Let Janice handle them and we will support her.” She replied in a whisper, and I nodded understanding her. “What is it?” Janice asked, and I can see her eyes completely red. “Let’s sit down and talk clearly.” Dad said and made her sit down. “I s
#After few months# *Janice Pov* “Be careful, Abby.” I said, holding her hand properly. “I am fine Janice. Don’t worry about me.” She said when I helped her to sit down properly. “I want my Nephew or Niece to be completely fine, so that I can play with them.” I said smiling at her and sat beside her. “I have been telling her that she should start taking her food on the bed, but she never listens to me.” Bhai said, shaking his head and served for three of us the breakfast. “Poor Bhai! You are torturing him, Abby.” I said, winking at her. “It is just eight month.” She said, rolling her eyes while Bhai glared at both of us. “We have something to talk to you.” I heard Dad’s voice, and he sat on the table along with Mom. “Uh, oh!” I mumbled. “Janice! We were ok with the divorce and all, and it’s been a few months since it happened. Now why don’t you meet new people?” Mom said looking at me. “No!” I said without a doubt. “Just meet them and look for yourself. You can’t stop your
*Janice Pov* “Good morning, Ms.Janice.” I heard someone saying like everyday from the past few days and I looked up from my cup of coffee and a piece of chocolate cake. “Good morning, Mr.Adithya.” I said and gestured for him to sit in the chair in front of me. “Cake in the morning time?” he asked, looking at the plate. “When the parents start giving some serious pressure every day, then we need something like this before starting the day.” I replied. “Even I need one then. Today I didn’t get to escape my parents and got another request or order or demand. Whatever they think it is.” He said, and I ordered another piece for him. “When the first time we did as per their wish, but it backfired in the worse way they should give us space for the next one.” I started. “But no! They start showing the same hurry as they did for first or even more. They make it seem like no one can live without marriage.” He finished. “Yeah! I mean who doesn’t get scared for the next time. We have so m
*Janice Pov* “Will you be fine today? I am thinking of going out.” I said entering Bhai’s room. “You have been taking care of me and my baby girl for this one week. Which is more than enough. Now go and have some good weekend.” Abby said rolling her eyes. “You are sure right?” I asked her again. “Ben is just here to take care of me. And today is Sunday right. Don’t worry Janice.” She replied smiling. “Bye!” I said and kissed the top of my niece forehead. At the corner of my eye, I saw Bhai entering the room. I cleared my throat and said, “Thank god! She didn’t get any of Bhai’s features and that just made her the most beautiful girl.” Abby stared at me confused, and I signaled her behind me. She nodded, grinning and said, “Yeah! I am so lucky that she got only my features.” “What the hell guys. I am not that bad looking.” We heard Bhai’s complaining voice and burst out laughing. “You both girls will be the death of me.” He mumbled and sat before Abby. “Don’t worry! Your daug
*Adithya Pov* I heard the faint ringing of my mobile but I ignored it and turned away to continue my sleep. Nevertheless, it still continued to ring. I lifted it with still closed eyes and said, “What is it?” “Woah! Are you still sleeping?” I heard Rajeev’s voice. “Am I late?” I asked and opened my eyes to look at the clock and saw that I have still two hours to get ready. “Of course not! You are never late.” He replied. “Why are you calling me?” I asked him getting up and groaned feeling my head pounding. “First, take some medicine and then I will tell you.” He replied. I rolled my eyes and took it from the drawer beside my bed and then drank some water. After a few minutes, I opened my eyes and felt little well. “Now tell me.” I said, standing up. “Who was there with you yesterday night?” he asked and I frowned. “Why?” I asked him. “Because whoever she is scared our common bartender so much that he called me after dropping you saying or even pleading that to make sure th
*Janice Pov* I glanced at everyone and saw that even today they all are silent. What is more surprising is even Bhai is silent along with Abby for the past few days since I told them regarding my decision. I can totally see my parents trying to change my decision so much, but I am not budging at all. In all this silence my phone rang, making me startle a little as it is already late night, so I don’t even know who is calling. I saw the caller Id and immediately lifted, saying, “Hello?” “Sorry for calling you at this time, but just got some free time now.” He replied. “It’s ok! Anything happened?” I asked him playing with my food. “I got the court date for tomorrow evening.” He replied. “So early.” I mumbled as I thought it will take few more weeks. “Yeah! I found a small-time slot so got our names registered there. Is that ok?” He asked. “It is completely ok. We will meet tomorrow directly then.” I replied. “I will not be there at the café I guess. It is not good to see the
*Janice Pov* I woke up hearing some stupid alarm which is definitely not good to wake up with pleasant mind. I yawned and saw that he is also waking up and just trying to shut down the alarm. I got up from the bed and walked towards the window to open the curtain. “You are up?” He asked, and I looked back to see him standing near the bed yawning. “Who will be not after hearing that?” I asked back. “It’s pretty bad right? That’s why I am using it so that I will wake up correctly without late.” He replied. “But 6?” I asked him frowning. “I actually go to the station at 7.” He replied. “OK!” I mumbled and he nodded, walking outside the room. I decided to get ready myself not knowing what else to do. After getting ready, I walked outside to see him sitting on the bed wearing uniform. “I think we should have breakfast.” He said and I nodded, walking outside the room along with him. We saw that his parents are also just about to sit at the table. So we both sat beside each other
#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
