There is a Past and then there is a Present. What should be our choice? To go along with the Past, feeling the familiarity of it or to go along with the Present, wishing for something new and hoping it to be amazing? With Past, we already know what to expect and know that it will not hurt the same if something goes wrong again. With Present, we don’t know what to expect and also feel that it may hurt even more than ever. So, should we let go of the past or ignore the present? With all these confusing and unanswerable questions there are a few people who are ready to tell you their story. This is the story of one among such people who has a tough but again, not so tough choice to take between past and present. Hope whatever choice that person takes will be near to perfect one, or at least far away from worst.

*Nicole Pov*“Thanks for your help, James.” I said, smiling at him when he finally took out the last box from my home.“No problem! But these are a lot of stuffs that are getting transported.” He commented when I followed him outside.“Yes! I don’t know whether they will be fine until they reach India.” I mumbled worriedly.“Which place in India?” he asked when the delivery guy started loading the boxes into his van.“Kolkata! You can visit anytime you want and you will love the place.” I replied and signed the needed documents.But the van started moving and immediately stopped. I frowned and glanced before it to see a two people standing before it.“What’s going on?” I mumbled and started walking towards them along with James but got dragged to the side suddenly.“Hey!” I shouted and paused when I realized who it is.I stared at him in shock while he is staring back with a blank expression, but I can see him radiating his anger for sure.“Who are you? Let her go right now.” James or

*Ali Pov*I know hearing my words everyone will think the same thing. However, I just don’t want two people to think in that way.I stepped towards her, but saw Harsha running away towards the kids. I was about to move towards him, but Jhanvi stopped me and walked in his direction.“Nicole!” I said, walking near her, but she is staring at Harsha and nowhere else.“What is going on? Why is everyone serious?” we all heard a new voice and turned to see an elderly couple walking towards us.“You guys returned two days early. Was the trip not good?” Mridula asked, walking towards them.“We were just missing home.” The man replied and glanced at me.“You must have taken after your Mother. I can’t see much of your Father in you.” He said looking directly at me.“Excuse me?” I asked him, frowning and everyone looked confused.“You know his Father?” someone asked and he nodded.“You remember I was talking about my old classmate who is the king of a small island. It is his Father, I was talking

*Nicole Pov*“He seems to be really excited about this trip.” Ali whispered after sometime while I was still reeling to the fact that they both forced me to be in this plane.“It’s a given reaction. He must be missing his Mother. It’s been a few months since he visited her, right?” I asked not glancing at him, but stared at Harsha who is sitting before us while looking outside.“And I still think I shouldn’t be a part of this trip.” I added and he completely ignored me.“I want you to meet my Mom.” Harsha simply said and I frowned at him.Why does he want me to meet his Mom? Will it not be too awkward for everyone if I joined these two? If it is just his Mom, maybe it would be fine, but the plan Ali and I made was longer than that.“You know everything and you are still fine with it?” I asked in a whisper so that Harsha will not hear.“Actually, everytime we go for a visit I feel kind of a third wheel. And this time I have to explain something which would make them angry at me as my F

*Ali Pov*“Wait!” Nicole shouted and moved to stand before the door while my hands are shaking with rage.“Move away, Nicole!” I ordered her trying to breath but she didn’t move an inch.“Don’t do this, Ali.” She pleaded with her eyes, but stood there stubbornly no matter how much I am pleading with my own eyes for her to move.Today I am going to kill him and end his twisted ways. I carried the scars for all his plans, but I will not let him play like this with my son.How dare he trap Harsha in that way and torture him for so many days? He is still hurting because of my Father and I can’t calm down.“He deserves to get hit by me, Nicole.” I said not understanding why is she protecting him.“I know! But I don’t want you to waste your energy twice.” She said when I reached the door.“What do you mean?” I asked finally holding the knob by pushing her a little.“Didn’t you hear what I said?” she asked back and held my hand before I can turn it.“What?” I tried to turn it without hurting

*Nicole Pov*“No!” I simply replied when he asked me again.“What do you mean no?” he asked frowning.“No means no, Ali.” I replied, closing my laptop while he continued to pace before me.“He is mailing you.” He pointed out.“Yes! And I am mailing him back. But I can’t come between you two, Ali. He is your son and you need to ask him all this stuff.” I explained.“I know he is my son, but he is not talking to me properly like he is talking to you. I need to know what went wrong to make it right. I was feeling dejected all these months thinking I will never be close to my son, but now I know there is a way and I can’t wait anymore.” He sat on the bed and covered his face like he lost everything.I walked towards him not knowing how to explain the situation, but then I know I have to try and make him understand.“I am an outside person, no matter how well he is talking to me. With a snap of fingers he can stop talking to me and no one will say anything about it. But if you try to under

*Nicole Pov*“What are you doing?” I asked him, but he just continued to throw my clothes around the room.“What are you doing?” he asked back finally clearing my packed bags.“I can’t stay here, Ali. I was really hesitant and now he doesn’t like you to date. You saw what happened at the airport.” I explained, picking up my clothes.“I saw that, but you need not leave. Maybe he just needs some time.” He pointed out and I ignored him.I don’t know how did I felt at the airport, but I know making Harsha accept me will be very difficult. How can I force him to accept me?“Harsha is my son, Nicole. But it doesn’t mean I will be with the only person he will accept. He can take his time, but I want you with me.” He continued and pulled me towards him holding my elbow.“What you are saying is correct, Ali. But with the experience I had, I can’t take such step.” I mumbled looking away.“You are not your step-father. I know you will care for Harsha.” He pointed out and this time I don’t have a

*Nicole Pov*“He must be scared.” I scoffed at her words and continued to work without saying another word.“Fine! How dare he say those words and leave you? He doesn’t have any common sense. Happy now?” she added the last words laughing.“I don’t have any common sense. That’s why I called you.” I replied, moving my hand to cut her call.“Wait! I am really confused about your problem. Are you mad at him for those words or because he rushed away not giving you any time to react?” Nev asked leaving all the teasing from her tone.“I don’t know!” I mumbled and stopped working.“Well, ask him when he returns. Don’t stress yourself like this. But just decide whether you want those words to be true or just be simply some silly words.” After suggesting that she hung up and I just sighed.“I will definitely take his opinion in this matter, but for me if it is not you then it will be no one.” I can still remember each and every word he uttered that day and just left before I can understand the

*Ali Pov*“What do you mean that project is canceled?” I asked my secretary frowning.We just returned yesterday and I started planning my trip to Harsha’s school, but my Father took another step to cause problems.“His highness was adamant about this and because this is of simple matter none of the council allowed any time to deal about that.” He explained and I know right then that he did this to want something from me.“It is of simple matter at present, but later it will be a huge problem. I can’t let him stop the plan for this water plant.” I mumbled to myself and stood up to go and deal with him.While walking towards his office, I started thinking how to make sure he doesn’t put any objection to this plan and just let it happen.“Father! I need you to not stop this water plant construction.” I stated the moment I was allowed in his office room.“Tell me why should I?” that’s all he asked and for the next two hours I explained the details of the plant with the help of the notes

*Nicole Pov*“What are you doing here?” I asked, reaching him and he finally stopped his conversation with Nev’s Grandfather before glancing at me.“Don’t say it! You both are talking about history again.” I mumbled and he just smiled at me while Grandfather laughed.“He has good knowledge about our history. You made a good choice.” Saying that he walked off while I snorted hearing his words.“You are my good choice because I was wishing to learn history?” I asked sarcastically and he just pulled me into his arms.“Don’t be jealous, Nicole. We will be leaving today night and I just wanted to let him know how much I admire that he taught me about the things which I can never learn reading any book.” He explained pressing his lips to my cheek.“And I think you don’t have any right to be jealous after all the time we are spending at night in secret.” He whispered the words making me jab his ribs.“If anyone knows about that then Yash and Nev will be in trouble.” I pointed out as a warnin

Prologue #1
“Nipuna!” I heard his voice which seems to be a little impatient, which is everyday situation, but today it seems to be more than that.“What is it?” I asked, looking at the door from the magazine.“You don’t know what I have found.” He replied, closing the door and walked towards me.“Of course I don’t until you tell me, right?” I asked raising my eyebrow.“You don’t know how important is this.” He mumbled frowning sitting beside me.“Aahil! Will you decide to tell me what it is or will you continue to ponder on how important it is?” I asked sighing.“Are you really going to show that attitude today?” he asked staring at me.“Then what do you expect me to do? You went to my Dad’s place yesterday, but didn’t tell me and then started gloating about it today morning.” I replied in a pissed tone.“You hate political talk.” He simply said like I was even stupid for being mad at him.“He is my Dad, but you took our Daughter with you not me. Does she like this talk? No, right!” I said, glar
