“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

*Kalpana Pov*“You are doing great.” I heard someone whispering while patting my forehead with a cold cloth.“Ahhhh!” I screamed for the millionth time with tears falling from my eyes.“Keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn’t lose consciousness.” I heard the instruction from the doctor.“Maaa….” I screamed, holding the pillow tightly, wishing she was here beside me.And suddenly I wanted to cry, ignoring the pains and everything. How did I reach this stage? I want to shout at myself.“Do you really love me?” I asked, staring at him.“Yes! And we are getting married too.” He replied smiling.“But…” I mumbled frowning and turned to stare at his mother.“I could never ignore his wishes even if I try which I did.” She said sighing making me flinch.My Mom died being as their caretaker, but that was too many years ago. I just came to thank them for their consideration for the education fees they paid a few years ago for my graduation.But had to stay back on Maam’s insistence and now

*Kalpana Pov*“What? But why?” I asked, staring at him with complete shock.“It’s been too long since you returned to work.” He stated leaning back in his chair.“I was on maternity leave, Sir.” I said, frowning at him and tried to control the panic settling inside.“We can’t let you continue here.” He said shaking his head.“I came to work even one week before my delivery. And I never took leave. I took this leave because I am sure no one can come under such conditions in the world.” I said standing up.“You don’t have a choice in this, Ms.Kalpana. You worked here for less than a year. So, we can remove you if you want.” He said and pushed forward the letter.“Please, Sir! I really need this job. I have a baby now to take care of too.” I pleaded him hating to do it for something which is my right.He just stared at me with a frown and tapped on the table. Then he took out another envelope before moving it forward.“I said you are just removed from here. However, this is something whi

*Kalpana Pov*“Are you Ms.Kalpana?” someone asked, startling me when I opened my mouth near the reception desk to introduce myself.“Yeah!” I replied, turning around to see an old man smiling at me.“Great! We were waiting for you.” He said turning around and gestured with his hand to follow him.“For me?” I asked, clutching the file to my chest.“Yeah!” he replied, turning around with a frown.“But I am just a normal clerk right?” I asked, not taking a step ahead and he just stared at me.“Our clerk left the company and made sure to leave lots of work. So, we are in dire need of a clerk. Any other questions?” he asked after a few minutes and I shook my head.“Good! Now, the timings will be from morning ten to evening five.” He added again walking.“That’s it?” I asked, remembering the timings of eight to six.“Yes! Will you continue to get shocked with everything?” he asked, turning back with a frown covering his face.“I am sorry, Sir! I am just little overwhelmed.” I replied, hopin

*Kalpana Pov*“Good morning!” I said, smiling at Pallavi, who is standing near the canteen.“Good morning! I will just get some coffee and come.” She said smiling.“Do you want?” she added.“No! I had just before coming to work.” I replied and walked over to my desk.I sat down and smiled, staring at Sudhir ‘s photo frame just like everyday for the past one month.It still amazes me how helpful this job became for each and everything. It cuts down some of the expenses I have to keep with the benefits it gives the employees.I glanced at the door through which we can reach the elevator. Pallavi said our boss goes to his floor from the basement itself and I need not use the lift for my work being on the ground floor.Shaking my head to come out of all these thoughts and started my work. I just wish my timings are not so different in the morning, but I can understand clerk’s can be fine with this time to finish the work.“So, how was your weekend?” Pallavi asked, walking near to my desk.

*Kalpana Pov*“What are you doing?” I let out a small scream before turning around to see Pallavi walking near to me.“Tell me you have a mother.” I ordered walking near to her.“What?” she asked, laughing.“Please tell me you have a mother.” I pleaded her this time.“Yes! I do have a mother.” She said nodding.“Ok! Now, your mother is not feeling well because of which you were late to come to the office.” I stated and turned around feeling relief.At least one lie will not be revealed as a lie before him! I thought walking near to my desk or which soon going to be my ex-desk.“What actually happened, Kalpaana?” She asked, reaching near to my desk when I sat down and sat opposite me.I took a deep breath and explained everything that happened each and everything not hiding my thoughts too.“So, you are going to accept that your Mom is not feeling well. I don’t want him to think me as an outright liar.” I added at the end.“You want me to tell him that my Mother is in the hospital?”

*Kalpana Pov*“Sir! Can you please repeat it?” I asked, glancing up when I realized I missed a line.“Sure! But this can be done only once.” He replied, not even glancing up from his notes.“Sure, Sir!” I mumbled and tried to put some imaginary jet on my hand to write fast.Is this job so hard? I thought groaning inside, but concentrated on his words, not wishing to ask him again to repeat the words.“That’s all for today and do type it fast before bringing it near me. I have a meeting within half an hour.” He ordered and I nodded before scrambling out to have some fresh air.I started typing and glanced at the clock groaning realizing I have still half more to type but the time is nearly over.I never thought my loyalty would be a rope to my neck itself. Can’t this boss be some normal person who actually takes some person into job based on an interview based on their credibility?I was never used to this fast typing and not the fast writing for sure. How can I do everything perfect o

*Kalpana Pov*“Done?” I glanced up from the system only to see him standing near my table.“Yes, Sir! I was about to bring it.” I mumbled finally taking out the papers and adjusted them before giving him.“I just got an important call. So, I have to leave early.” He said shrugging along with checking the papers.“You are improving well.” He added turning around not even looking at me.I shook my head and sat down. He talks like no one is around him and gives compliments like giving them to the air surrounding him.Why am I even surprised by this when I am seeing the same for the past few months? At least he is saying good things! I thought reminding myself and pushed away remaining thoughts.“Did you send notification to everyone regarding the salary being released today?” Mr.Girish asked walking near to me.“Yes, Sir! Everyone is excited too.” I replied, smiling and stood up realizing it is lunch break.“You also seem to be excited.” He said smiling.“Yes! I thought of a gift for Sud

*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
