*Jay Pov*I ignored it! Actually, I tried to ignore it with everything in me, but I know I can’t anymore. No matter what happened, I can’t ignore her hurt.“Have this food, Jhanvi.” I finally said when I got to know she didn’t have breakfast and lunch at all.“You need to go to work too.” I added, but she just sat on the bed with closed eyes.“I am resigning my job.” She said and I controlled myself to utter anything.Of course, to go with them, she doesn’t need a job here right. Well, what should I tell her? When, I know she is just waiting for the adoption panel to give us clearance.But why is she sad when everything got settled with Ali? Is she feeling it because she has to stay away from him? Or because now she is stuck with me until divorce?When will she ask for a divorce? After everything settles with the panel? I thought and just stared at her while she has a tired look.“Here!” I said, sitting before her and took the spoon near her mouth for which she opened her eyes.She ga
*Jhanvi Pov*“I will be a little late today.” He mumbled finishing his breakfast while I stared at him.“Okay!” I said, thinking he will glance up, but he didn’t.“Bye!” he whispered to Lakshmi hugging her and walked off while I sat at the table staring at her smiling face.“What do you want to do now?” I asked and she looked around as if thinking before saying, ‘Ball’.“Ball? That you play with your Dad because he is good at it.” I said smiling.I played all that with Harsha wishing everytime his father was there to do it instead of me. Now, I will not do the same and let Jay play with her.“Doll?” she asked now and I smiled nodding.“She wants to play ball with you. Will you be here early tomorrow?” I asked him while having dinner starting the conversation.He is so calm from yesterday morning and it must be because of him, letting out his emotions that night. I don’t want to bring it up and make him feel more awkward.“Okay!” he said again, not glancing at me.Well, he can get lost
*Jay Pov*“Thank you!” I said, shaking his hand and he nodded, smiling before I walked out of their office.“Sir! The board members are waiting for you.” My manager said the moment I walked inside my office room.“You know, I think you deserve a raise.” I said, taking out the file I need.“But sir…” he trailed off in shock.“I didn’t even appoint a PA and you are doing all the work. I am sure I was able to do all this because of you.” I said smiling at him.“Thank you, Sir!” he said with a happy tone and I smiled feeling happy myself.“Now, let’s meet those wolves.” I said, making him laugh and we both walked towards the board room.“Gentlemen!” I said, nodding at all of them before taking my place.“Mr.Jay! We are really happy with the progress of the company. Even though it started on a rocky ground, we can see a great potential in the future.” One of them started while I felt shock inside but plastered a blank look.“However, it came to our notice that there was a small glitch.” An
*Jhanvi Pov*“Hey! The meeting took too long. Just give me two minutes to freshen up.” He said after walking inside the house.“It’s okay!” I said, smiling and continued to feed Lakshmi.“Where are my clothes, Jhanvi?” he asked after a few minutes and I glanced up to see him frowning with confusion.“We decided to shift to a single room and I thought it was better to be beside Lakshmi’s room if she needs anything for a few weeks at least. So, I shifted your clothes to my room.” I replied smiling.“Okay! Then I will use your washroom only.” He said shrugging and walked inside my room and I shook my head before removing Lakshmi’s plate while she cleaned her mouth.“Sleepy?” I asked, staring at her and she nodded yawning.I smiled, thinking the way she kept on helping me today with each and every work I was doing. After all that if she is not tired then it would have been a surprise.“She slept off?” I heard his voice the moment I walked out of her room and nodded before we both walked t
*Jay Pov*“When did they come and how?” I asked her still staring at two people staring at us back with shock covering their features and I saw a slight moment.I glanced to Kalpana’s side to see Sudhir waking up from his sleep before looking around only to see his eyes widen and he immediately hid his face holding Kalpana.“Oh god!” I mumbled realizing I brought it upon myself and held Jhanvi more tightly.“They saw me at the hospital and they literally dragged me or I can say made me come here. I thought you would be late today.” She replied in an accusing tone.“It finished soon! You should have called me.” I mumbled back.“Well, from where do you think I should? I didn’t get time.” She whispered and pinched my hand, which is around her waist.“Jhanvi! What is going on here?” Kalpana is the one who brought an end to our whispers and sound to the silence around us.“How are you, Kalpana?” I asked her clearing my throat and she nodded.“I am fine! But what is going on around here, J
*Jhanvi Pov*“Just go away, Jay.” I said weakly and pressed my head again to the pillow to muffle my sobs.He kidnapped her! I repeated the words and punched on the pillow beside mine. I turned around finally hearing no sounds of knocking or his voice.Why didn’t he tell me? I thought and placed my hand on my face trying to reduce the sobs. I immediately scolded myself.What am I to him in the first place? We got together because of all the circumstances and just get along with the situation.But… but he should have told me and how can he even do that? I groaned and stilled hearing his voice talking to Lakshmi.“I will get you dinner.” I can hear a muffled voice and I sighed in relief knowing well he will look after her while I just lock myself here even for a few hours before I can accept all this.No wonder Manohar was so angry at him. Well, it’s not like he did everything right. How did Kalpana bear all this and I was not even with her.But then I remembered her saying she has a fa
*Jay Pov*I can feel her stirring in my arms and then her stiffening after a few minutes. Then I felt her slowly moving my hands away, which are around her.“Do you really feel unsafe with me?” I whispered and met silence.I opened my eyes to see her giving me a glanced before closing her eyes. She opened her mouth a few times and closed it.“Forget the question.” I mumbled moving away and got up from the bed.By the time I walked out of the washroom, she walked towards me and got inside it before locking the door.I got ready lost in my thoughts, but glanced to my side to see her standing there with a frown covering her face while staring at her clothes.“Wear this!” I whispered and hugged her from behind.“Jay!” she whispered, pushing my hands away, but I held on to her.“What?” I asked brushing my lips on her cheek and then her neck before nuzzling it.“Leave me!” she replied, but I sighed pressing my chin on her shoulder.“Don’t do this to us.” I stated making her turn to stare at
*Jhanvi Pov*“Mom!” I glanced up and turned my head to see Lakshmi walking near to me with a frown covering her little face.“Dad?” she asked and I pulled her in my arms before hugging her tightly.“He went out for work. Will you have breakfast?” I asked and she nodded before moving a little.“School?” she asked after some time when we still were having food and I am not even rushing her.“Not going!” I replied and she slowly nodded.I sat there after she walked away to her room and then suddenly stood up. I am not going to let him go like this no matter what.First, I need to know where did he even go. I rushed to our room and started searching all his things before getting only a few brochures in my hands.I was about to throw them away, but stilled looking at them. I numbly walked to the bed and sat down, staring at them.“Madam! Two people are here to see you.” Suddenly Maid announced and I nodded her to make them sit on the couch.I brushed my tears away and walked out still hold
