*Jay Pov*“If I don’t let her think, then how can we know anything?” Doctor Anee asked and I opened my eyes to see her sitting before Jhanvi holding her hand.“Don’t let her think the forbidden.” I replied.“Forbidden? What is forbidden?” Jhanvi asked ,staring at the doctor and me.“You should have taken her to the doctor instead of here.” Anne said.“Do not worry because even if she bounce back, she will wake up again, but if I had not brought her here then I wouldn’t be able to know any people who can take care of her. When I find them, then I can go to the place where I was going for.” I pointed out.“So, to release the burden you brought her here?” Anne asked frowning and I shrugged.“And she is also not comfortable living in my house.” I said to which Jhanvi glared at me.“What was I doing in this man’s house?” she asked giving disgust looks and I rolled my eyes feeling used to that while Anne looked shocked.“What is your name?” the questions started and I frowned listening to t

*Jay Pov*“She… she is moving, Sir.” I glanced up from the newspaper to see the face of the maid with shock covering it.“Really? Is she talking?” I asked her.“No! She is like before only but moving her face and hands by her own.” She replied and I frowned.“Okay! You gave her breakfast?” I asked, standing up.“Yes!” she replied and I nodded, walking away to reach her room.Now what is this new thing? I thought sighing and walked inside to see her turning to lay on her side.“So, you are back to normal?” I asked, feeling relief, but she kept quiet, staring at the wall.“You are doing it on purpose or is it something else?” I asked, sitting on the chair beside her.She flicked her eyes to me and just stayed like that while I waited for her to say something. When she didn’t, I cleared my throat feeling awkward.“You there?” I asked, waving my hand feeling weird this time.“Jhanvi?” I called and placed my hand on her cheek, for which she didn’t do anything.“Well, now as my hand is not

*Jay Pov*“It’s nice to see you both here again and she is well.” Madam said, smiling at us when we walked inside with Jhanvi little slowly.“It is because of Lakshmi I think.” I said, smiling and she gave me a shock look.“After that day, she was recovering.” I added not wishing to give away the details when I don’t have any right to.If she wants to tell someone of her ailing then she will. I thought and glanced at Jhanvi to see her looking around.“Can we meet the children?” I asked the madam.“Lakshmi!” Jhanvi added and I hid my smile as I wanted to see whether she will talk or not because of which I asked that question.“Yes! Please come with us.” She said and called for an attender.“Where is she?” Jhanvi asked, looking around to see that she is not there.“She must be here somewhere. You can meet other kids in the meantime.” I replied, looking at the door and turned back to see her already talking to a few kids.I walked out of the playroom to see some other kids and glanced at

*Jhanvi Pov*I just stood there staring at her sleeping form with all the toys she likes surrounding her. Why did I rush into all this? Where was thinking and the past mistakes?Wasn’t once enough with my jumping into everything and returning with nothing? Now, again, I rushed into more complicated things.But… but standing here, I know it is not a complete bad thing. She was… she was too alone and I have seen her looking lost when one day the people came to adopt but didn’t glance at her.Wasn’t I there? Wasn’t I having the same feel of lost when people used to come to the hospital and choose the kids? Didn’t I try to settle myself with just the life I got, feeling great full for it.Isn’t the reason for my rush behind that person craving for such belongingness? Isn’t it the reason for being pushed to the edge of a cliff in the life and thrown over by the betrayal?How can I let someone else get the same fate? I may can’t do it for everyone else but this little girl will not have

*Jay Pov*I think everything is settled with me leaving the house for office not even meeting them both literally as she stayed away. Then at night I would return early so that she can go for work.She doesn’t say anything and I too just greet her but make sure she takes the car to go. However, there is something which she doesn’t know.After that she doesn’t know what actually happens, as Lakshmi immediately wakes up the moment she leaves and walks to the couch where I will be sitting.Each day we will be doing something or the other as she wishes even though she doesn’t say anything but we still spend time before she goes back to sleep.I either stay back in her room or go to my room. I sleep for some time, but make sure to be awake when she returns, but don’t go down to meet her knowing well she will not like it.And like that nearly two weeks passed. I took the leave and sat in the dining area waiting for both of them.“You are still here?” Jhanvi asked in a shocked tone.“Yeah!

*Jhanvi Pov*“Jay!” I called him when he was about to walk out of the door.He immediately turned around with shock covering his face making me realize that it is the first time I am calling him by his name.“What is it?” he asked clearing his throat.“I need to go one hour early today.” I replied and he nodded.“I will come early.” He stated and we both stood there in silence.“Lakshmi must be wondering about me.” I said, gesturing my hand to her room.“I must go too.” He said and at once we both turned around before walking away in our directions.This is so awkward! I thought moving my hand to slap my forehead but stopped myself. It’s been just two days since I cried my heart out about my fears and insecurities and my another stupidity.Who asked me to kiss his cheek? Did he or is there any need? No! But still overwhelmed with everything, I went and did that.Now, I am feeling so awkward to even talk to him. It’s not like I talked to him before but that was because of anger and all

*Jhanvi Pov*I released Harsha and looked up to see Jay and Ali standing near the door staring at us. I brushed my tears away and glanced around for Lakshmi but then remembered her playing in her room.“Jay!” I called him but he just stood there lost in his thoughts.“Jay!” I called loudly, making him jerk out of his thoughts and he glanced at me with a frown.“Aren’t you getting late?” I asked and he just stared at me before nodding.“I will go.” He mumbled and stared at me for a few seconds before turning around to glance at Ali.“Good day!” he greeted and left checking his watch.I know he has an important meeting today with the shareholders and the day for his worried to over regarding his company. So, I hope he will reach soon.“Mom! Come with us.” Harsha said making me glance at him.“Did you have breakfast?” I asked him smiling and he nodded his head.“Come here.” I said, dragging him to the couch and sat down along with him.“Tell me how were you all these days. Are you eating

*Jay Pov*“Again!” I mumbled, looking at the sticky note attached to her door with the notice of her going for dinner taking Lakshmi with her.I walked to the couch and sat down feeling the energy drain out as if that single paper has such power to do it.Why did they come when everything was going fine? I thought and immediately cursed at my thoughts.How can I be selfish here? How can I be a hypocrite? Didn’t I expect the same from Kalpana to just come with me forgetting everything?At least this man has the sense to return fast, but still I can’t help but feel he shouldn’t have come at all.However, I know how sad Jhanvi would be all the time if she didn’t have Harsha with her or at least have good terms with him.But I am feeling suffocated every time they go for dinner, which started last week. I am feeling more irritated with Lakshmi being present fro all this.What if everything goes well with time and Jhanvi decides to leave with them? And take Lakshmi with her?Well, I can’t

*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
