*Kalpana Pov*

“Have the food, Kalpana.” I heard someone saying and I did calmly sitting between them while no one uttered a word.

“I shouldn’t have asked you to call your… your friend.” I heard another voice but kept quiet.

“I will take Sudhir and let him sleep along with Nivaan.” I heard another voice and I wish I can come out all this and speak to them.

“Talk!” someone mumbled placing a hand on my shoulder.

“All these years, I was not taking care of him. Some stranger was doing everything and here I felt… I…” I trailed off choking on my words.

“You are a good mother, Kalpana. The things you can give to him don’t decide that.” Aunty said, but I shook my head.

“She was supposed to be my best friend, but all she was just a spy for him.” I mumbled closing my eyes.

“I think she was just not that. She was really distressed and guilty and I can see she cares for you.” Mridula said.

“Stop it, Mridula.” Nipuna mumbled and I realized it is her hand on my shoulder.

    *Nipuna Pov*“Good night!” I said, smiling and she nodded, climbing the stairs along with Sudhir.“We shouldn’t have done that.” Aahil mumbled after a few minutes.“I expected Mridula to say such words, but not you, Aahil. And we didn’t do anything intentionally.” I pointed out.“I think Nipuna is right.” Mridula said making me frown at her.“Really?” I asked and she nodded.“Look, we were just coincidentally near the window and saw the emotional moment with our eyes as we couldn’t move feeling emotional ourselves.”Mridula mumbled and Aahil stared at her in shock along with me.“I accept that actually. It was too emotional mainly when he was hugging both of them kneeling on the ground.” Mom said nodding.“I seriously thought she loves Jay and Manohar was a distraction, but here something else is going on.” I said frowning.“Don’t keep your hopes on Jay.” Mridula mumbled and I stared at her with confusion.“Anyway, maybe the office work was good for her little better mood.” Aahil said

    *Mridula Pov*“Tajwar!” I mumbled, but he just sat beside Urmi’s bed in silence.“So, you are going around suggesting to go for another person. Why do I think whatever that is happening with us is the reason?” he asked, not even turning towards me.“Your thinking is wrong.” I replied calmly.“I am thinking about you only, right? Do you really want to leave me?” he asked and I suddenly felt the anger making me walk near to him.“You stupid man! At least listen to me before saying stupid things.” I said in a loud whisper after hitting him on his hand and stilled along with him.“I will go.” I mumbled and rushed away to reach our room.Before I could close the door to not let him enter, he push his way through it and closed it himself along with holding me in his arms.“Tajwar!” I said, trying to release myself.“I should give punishment for doing that.” He said crashing his lips to mine and we both fell into the passion before coming up for air.“I missed you! I don’t want to fight wit

    *Kalpana Pov*“So, I was really angry and hurt with every revelation, I heard, but then I don’t know why, I was too much angry with his decision.” I started and immediately Amrin raised her hand.“Whom are you talking about?” she asked.“Manohar!” Mridula replied fro me.“What is this meeting?” we heard and turned to see all men walking towards the couch directly.“Kalpana is saying the reason behind her dates.” Nipuna explained and they too joined in making me feel awkward with everyone just staring at me.“So, you chose Jay because you are angry at Manohar?” Amrin asked and I shook my head.“No! I do not know why, but I didn’t feel the love I had for him again. He was talking everything from the past, but I just couldn’t bring up the emotions. I thought of trying you know because we were already in love so why not chose him. However, I couldn’t do it.” I replied.“If you don’t like him, then why did you go for a date with him?” Nipuna asked frowning.“There are two reasons. One is t

    *Nipuna Pov*“Why did she still didn’t return? Where did she say she was going?” I asked turning towards Dileep.“She said she has some work and maybe she went to meet Manohar.” Dileep replied shrugging.“Why do you think its Manohar?” Amrin asked staring at him.“Because she likes him.” Dileep replied shrugging.“I know she likes him and not Jay. But aren’t you guys supposed to be against Manohar?” Amrin asked frowning at us.“Why?” I asked, frowning back at her words.“Well, I have heard so many times of gold digging and all words from this family. And now when it is a male who is doing it, then it is okay?” she asked.“Amrin! We are not getting your words.” Mridula said, frowning and everyone sat in silence to which she frowned.“Manohar did everything for Kalpana to take Sudhir as his family and to get some property. Isn’t that gold digging?” Amrin asked with a confused look.“Didn’t she know everything?” Dileep asked, turning towards us.“I explained everything along with what Aa

    *Kalpana Pov*“Wait Manohar!” I said holding his hand when he was about to pass by me.“Let him be!” I added, making him to stare at me.“Police will catch him, Manohar.” I heard Tajwar’s voice.“Can you please let the police leave all this?” I asked, staring at both Manohar and Tajwar.“Are you okay?” Manohar asked, placing his free hand on my face gently and looked at my hands and then back at my face.“Were you not kidnapped? Are you just late to reach here? Then why is your phone switched off?” he added moving a little when I nodded.“He pressed a cloth to Mom’s face and she slept off.” Sudhir said before I can say anything.“I will not leave that scoundrel.” Manohar said and was about to move towards his car, but I held his hand tightening my grip.“Just let him go and ask police to leave him alone.” I said to which both frowned at me.“How can we leave him? He kidnapped you, Kalpana.” Manohar said frowning.“And I am safe standing here.” I said, hoping he leaves the matter.“Whe

    *Manohar Pov*I smiled at him, my son playing in the water along with his Mom, and leaned back feeling relaxed not just physically but also mentally.What started as just taking care of them and also getting the property of my so-called Dad to my name to get revenge on the people who hurt my Mom ended up in this way.If anyone asks me outright whether I regret acting in that way by hiding in the shadows and helping her with this reason, I kind of do but not in a way that I feel to turn everything opposite if I am given a chance to change the past.What I regret is doing all these things in the shadows as I could have met them properly long back and fallen for her earlier than I did.I am jealous of Pallavi who is completely close to her for the past many years unlike me. I would have been there with them when he would have been just a baby.It’s not like I was never in his presence before as I tried to see him from time to time when he stayed in the play area that was constructed in t

    *Jay Pov*I stared at the coffee cup before me not touching it and then sighed. What was I thinking? Kidnapping? Really? Was I so desperate that I went that low?I shook my head and closed my eyes. What I am doing now is the right thing to do. I can settle everything by taking some time slowly.What is even there to hurry? I think the manager can take care of the company until I decide what to do with it.I snorted thinking about it. It is not even my decision and all of it will belong to Manohar soon. At least I have something which I can say it is mine without going to be lost from me.I heard the announcement of the flight I am supposed to take and stood up picking up my bag. Maybe I will never enter this city again where all the old memories are there.When I was walking towards the security check, I suddenly turned to my right to see a familiar person sitting in one of the waiting chairs.What is she doing here? I thought and shrugged before walking forward and turned casually to

    *Jhanvi Pov*“Jahnvi?” I heard someone calling and turned to see my professor.“Yes, maam?” I asked smiling.“Can you do me a favor? I have to meet the head of department but I have a work at the hospital.” She requested.“What should I do?” I asked, smiling, feeling relief that there was no mistake from my side regarding presentation which I thought she will talk about.“Give these files to Dr.Raj. He wanted me to give him a list of people who can be taken under his wing.” She replied and added, “And don’t peak.”I chuckled and took the files before leaving the campus and walked a few minutes. I reached the hospital and walked inside.“Good morning, Jhanvi.” Receptionist greeted me and I greeted her back.I walked to the elevator and reached the floor before knocking on the door. Hearing the reply from the other side, I opened it and walked inside.“Ah! Jhanvi!” Dr.Raj said with a smile.I smiled back and placed the files before him. He glanced at the top file before nodding at me.“

    *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

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

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

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
