*Manohar Pov*“Answer me!” she demanded, standing up and moved to place her fists on the table while I closed my eyes.“I will not allow you to hurt her at all. She has already been through a lot and you want to hurt her more?” she asked and at her words my eyes opened with confusion.“How exactly am I hurting her?” I asked, trying to control the anger at her words.“I don’t know what you have done, but she thinks you as her friend now. However, with this hot and cold behavior of you is nothing but making her confused.” She started explaining.“You are occupying her mind so much that she is not giving any heed to the things around her. I mean she threw the matter aside of Kiran confessing his likeness and is concentrating on how unfair you were. If this goes like this then how will she move on with her life with some good person?” she asked shaking her head.“Damn it!” I mumbled, standing up and crossed towards the window.“Why are you behaving like this?” she asked in a tired voice.

*Kalpana Pov*I sigh in relief when I glanced at the clock the moment I sat down. I just missed by a few minutes before being late for work.One memo is fine, but if I get another one, then I am gone of any appraisals. I cleared my head not wishing to dwell into the matter again.So what I got Memo? I mean, yeah, we had a good chat for so many days, but that doesn’t make him my friend just because I think him like that.The shrill sound of the phone made me jump out of the thoughts and I lifted it giving the introduction of the company in a polite tone.“It is me, Ms.Kalpana! Didn’t you see the light?” his voice came out as a response.I glanced down to see that the light is at the boss name. I took a deep breath, knowing well I made another mistake.“Sorry, Sir! Is there something?” I asked, hoping he will not make this into big.“Come to my cabin.” That’s all he said making me jump up from the chair.Who knows, he may have time limit for even entering the cabin? I thought and stille

*Kalpana Pov*“Good morning, Sir.” I greeted, walking inside his cabin.“Good morning, Kalpana.” He greeted back checking something in his system.Does he ever take a rest? He just keeps on working whenever I see him and always comes so early.“Are you ready?” he asked after a minute, but I just got lost in my thoughts.It’s been one week since he did those… those ‘acts’ and it feels like I just dreamed. As he is completely normal except for using my name directly.“Kalpana?” he asked, looking up and I broke out of my thoughts.“Ready for what, Sir?” I asked him frowning.“Today I have meeting.” He simply replied.“I know, Sir! I am here to give a brief of the presentation.” I mumbled gesturing the notepad.“You are coming with me, remember?” he asked and then I actually did remembered.“But…” I mumbled and immediately stopped.“I will come, Sir.” I mumbled, knowing well I can’t sit here feeling scared when it is part of my job.He already gave me so much lenience in this matter and

*Manohar Pov* “Kalpana?” I asked, turning around after reaching the house.Here I was thinking how to explain I know where she lives so easily, but all the thoughts left when I saw her sleeping peacefully.“Kalpana!” I called again, but she didn’t move an inch even when I shook her.Must be the pain medicine and all the tiredness. I got out of the car and opened the back door before leaning into it.“Just don’t get up until I get you inside.” I mumbled and moved my hands to hold her, but stopped when I realized I don’t have the house keys.I immediately looked around for her bag and found it under the seat. Any women will kill the guy if they even open the zipper, but here I am going to search it.Where is it? I thought continuing my search and finally found the keys. I let a small smile appear on my face seeing the small photo of her and her son’s as the key chain before letting it slip away.“Let’s go!” I mumbled and slowly took her in my arms before pulling her out of the

"Call her, Kalpana!" I averted my gaze away from her before adjusting Sudhir's shirt."I will call her, Jhanvi. But you all are getting late." I mumbled frowning."Until I know she will be here to take care for you, I will not leave this house." She said making me turn to stare at her."Why do I need her or anyone? You already helped me with all the things I need." I said literally whining making Sudhir chuckle at me."At least tell her you need her so that I will feel fine that she will be there when you need something. And your boss too is fine with her coming here to help you if you are worrying about her missing the work." She added and I immediately shut my mind at the way thoughts started the moment I heard his mention.What shall I consider yesterday's events as? It's all seemed to be some roller coaster and I was just sitting there folding my arms or sleeping."Kalpana!" she called tapping my shoulder."Fine! I will call her." I said taking out my mobile and called her."Kalpa

*Kalpana Pov*“Ouch!” I screamed and sat up immediately blinking my eyes.“What happened?” I heard a voice, but it seems to be very far with all the drowsiness.“My leg!” I whispered and placed my hand on my leg.“You should have placed some pillow so that it is not moved much in your sleep.” The same voice kind of scolding me.Someone is scolding me? Who is scolding me? I thought, frowning and blinked my eyes again, only to make them wide seeing the person before me adjusting my leg and a pillow.“Sir?” I called with complete shock.“What?” he asked, not even looking at me and concentrating on adjusting the pillow.“What are you doing here?” I asked making him glance at me with a frown.“I was seriously in a lot of thinking when you didn’t protest much before, but now I think I know the reason behind it.” He replied and moved away.“What?” I asked, not understanding his words and rubbed my forehead before glancing to my right only to see his laptop on the chair.“Right!” I mumbled re

*Kalpana Pov*“Time to get up.” I heard Jhanvi and turned to see her getting up from the bed and I know it is very early from her normal timings.“Sorry!” I said, turning around completely and stared at her.“Don’t say that! Anyway, you will be taking care of both of them tomorrow with them having their weekend and me enjoying the work at the hospital.” She said smiling.“Still, I wish I didn’t get hurt.” I mumbled sighing.“I too wish for that so don’t worry.” She said and walked towards the washroom.I closed my eyes, feeling sleepy, but opened them hearing the door bell. Who is it at this time? I thought moving a little to be in sitting position.“Who can be this early?” Jhanvi asked, walking out of the washroom.“I don’t know!” I mumbled and she nodded, walking out of the room.I waited for a few minutes and then she returned with a grin on her face making me frown. I questioned her with my eyes, but then she moved making me understand who it is.“What are you doing here, Sir?” I

*Manohar Pov*I tapped my finger on the table continuously and I am sure I would have made a hole in it by now if it is possible.Where is she? I thought, glancing at the door again and at my mobile. I can’t wait anymore than these two days with anticipation.Maybe she is having second thoughts! That thought came and I immediately crossed it not even wishing to think about it.Is she fine? I asked myself and glanced at the clock to see it is near to lunchtime, making me realize for hours I am sitting here just doing the tapping.“What is it Bhai? We talked only yesterday, right? I thought you would be too busy and may even forget me by now.” Pallavi rambled the moment she lifted my call.“She is not here.” I simply stated.“Oh! Maybe she is feeling tired and decided to take a rest.” She offered but I shook my head.“She didn’t message or called me.” I added.“I don’t know what to say. I wish I was there so that I can call her asking why is she not at the office but she will doubt when

*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
