"Where is she?" Ved's voice roared around the hospital as he rushed inside removing people from his path."She's in operation theater..." One of his men walked him to the section and notified him about the place Mayra was in.Ved was about to go inside but Jay stopped him."No, she needs treatment Ved..." Jay said as he tried to keep himself calm.The turmoil of emotions was edging him to the point where he wanted to scream and pour his heart out by crying but he needed to compose himself and stay strong as he promised his Mayra. He made sure to give Ved the support he desperately needed and guide him the way he should be guided."Who did this to her? What happened?" Ved asked his men.The guy took a huge breath before continuing with what he knew of the incident."She has been beaten up and left to die on a trash can. We were keeping an eye on the surroundings when we saw Rakaa's men throwing her there mercilessly. We wanted to get her to the hospital right there and then but his men
"She is gone..." The nurse informed."No!" Jay rushed back in and held Mayra's shoulder to shake it a little.He was just trying to give her CPR and save her life but Ved accepted the fact when her hands felt like it wasn't hers anymore. They were so strange, so foreign that he didn't even feel that it was Mayra who was in front of her.He couldn't even tell her what he felt for her. He couldn't even hold her when she wanted him to in the last moments. She wanted him to stay, she wanted him to just keep her in his embrace for a little longer so that she could be safe but he didn't. He left her there to die in a strange place, all alone as she would have called out for him."Jay stop..." Ved said as he wiped away his tears. He wouldn't let her death go in vain. He will make sure that the people who hurt her go through so much worse than what she has been through. He promised himself to make them regret being born in this life and laying a finger at Mayra."Mayra..." Jay cried but Ved
Jay and Ved killed most of the men Roy had but there was no revolt and no response from Roy's end. They were suspicious that Roy was planning on something to fight back but he didn't. He just felt like he deserved it all so he just stayed in his room waiting for them to come and finish him off.He has been punishing Rakaa the same way, every single day. He would just come out of his room to see him cry and beg for mercy in front of him but he never gave him, just like he didn't to Mayra.Just like any other day, Rakaa was being punished and Roy was watching him with no emotions. Rakaa has had enough pain so he was now begging to be killed. He couldn't bear any more pain but Roy was not going to let him die so soon.Roy didn't even mourn Mayra for once. He was scared of accepting the fact that she was no more and he would never be able to see her again. The disappointment in her eyes would always be the last thing she felt for him.Disappointment, yeah, he was disappointment to even be
"No, He is mine to kill!" A voice interrupted them as Roy looked at the entrance along with Rakaa and all of their guards.Mayra stepped inside with the help of Mr. Verma, looking directly toward Roy.Roy's face paled even more looking at her standing right in front of him with scars all over her face. For a moment, he thought that someone else was standing there, disguised as Mayra but the aura that surrounded that girl was the same that Mayra had. Strong and willful but at the same time kindness flowed out of her swollen eyes.The moment was everything he dreamed of but not for meeting Mayra but the love of his life, Kiyaa. Little did he know, he started loving her unknowingly. Day by day, moment by moment, meeting by meeting, he just fell for her deeper than he could even realize.The unknown connection they both shared was more than they could even imagine. Just by looking into her eyes, he felt his whole world getting sewn together like a torn-off cloth. Stitched to hold but st
"Why?" Mayra asked boring her eyes into Roy's soul.When she looked towards him, he felt like he had been seen from the inside out. All his life has been read like an open book by her.Like there are no secrets, no emotions, no struggles hidden behind his strong aura.Like the wall that he has built in these past twenty years has been shattered into pieces.Like he is back to being that little kid, so pure, so loving, and full of hope.But he knew that he had disappointed her. He broke her trust with his suspicion and behaviour. He broke their friendship.The guilt was easily visible on his face but he had to answer. He had to try to explain to her that he was manipulated, not just by Rakaa but also by his mind.The mind that has always told him that he doesn't deserve happiness, that made him turn his back on the entire world and punish himself for being unable to protect Kiyaa.'I don't deserve her forgiveness...' Roy thought and stared down at his hands with regret.He was not in t
"Do you think she would forgive me?" Mayra asked Jay in a low murmur.Jay leaned a little to her side with an assuring smile, taking her hand in his, and asked, "Mayra, you know na that I will protect you from the world?"They were back in Delhi and were about to reach her villa. Ved was sitting in the passenger seat ignoring her all this while but Jay had been trying to warm up the atmosphere. He has been comforting Mayra and poking Ved to respond but he was too angry to indulge in small talk."I know..." Mayra responded with a smile.Jay too smiled back at her and caressed her head softly."Yeah, but not from her, she's gonna kill you!" Jay responded and started laughing as Mayra's face paled.She was scared to face Bharti after fooling her and falling into Roy's trap. She would have never let her take such a disastrous step and she was right like every mother but Mayra didn't listen.She was feeling like a teenager who bunked her classes and got caught. Now, it was time to face the
"Because I have had enough..." Ved responded as he turned to face her with a cold gaze.He seemed as strange as the first day he met her, in that filthy prostitute house, looking down on people and the place. But still, he cared for her from the first day itself. He could have left and let her get the punishment they gave the girls but he couldn't. He knew that Mayra was different from all those girls drooling over him so that he chose them. He saw innocence in her eyes as soon as her eye met his.Just like the other day, his blue orbs met hers and they both felt so strangely connected that they kept looking into each other's eyes.Mayra wanted to utter something, ask him what was wrong, but nothing seemed so right to be asked. She wanted the time to pass and Ved to just know it by reading her eyes that she didn't want him to leave.Ved just stared back at her to see if she says something but to his disappointment, she didn't. He was angry at her, for not accepting him, for not accep
Mayra stayed in her room for some time crying her heart out. No one disturbed her as they knew what had happened and they wanted her to realize what she had lost in order to get it back.As the sun lay down, Mayra kept looking towards the balcony which was the only source of light in the room. He was still remembering the look on Ved's face when he decided to leave. Although she knows that she asked him to leave, they both knew she didn't want him to. She was missing him like a cold night misses the sunshine. They can never be together but still they know the other person's value the most."Till how long are you gonna hide in the darkness?" Jay asked switching on the lights of the room.Mayra blinked a few times to adjust her vision at the sudden brightness and sat up, resting her back on the bed."How can I even complain? My life is full of it..." Mayra responded in a low murmur looking towards the door from where Ved left.Yes, her life cannot shine bright without his presence. He i
Five Years Later..."Where is Mayra?""The Bride has run away!""Where's my daughter Mr. Bhatt?" Bharti yelled at Mr. Bhatt who glanced toward Ved, who in return, just chuckled."Mayra is missing?" Roy asked stepping up on the reception stage where Ved was sitting peacefully with Jay, having a glass of champagne."Yes my child! She is nowhere to be found..." Bharti turned towards Roy anxiously.Roy has been a big part of Mayra's life these five years. He accepted the fact that she is not ready to be his Kiyaa and her happiness resides with Ved. Through this period of time, they all worked together, chilled together, and even fought together.Mayra made sure that Roy stopped every illegal business he had but made sure that he didn't lose his power. Roy helped not only Mayra but Ved and Jay too so that they could grow with her. By giving them the power he promised, he realized that breaking that big wall he made to surround himself was actually a good idea."I will look for her..." Roy
"What do you mean by that?" Mr. Bhatt asked but Roy ignored him totally."Your parents were killed by your neighbor and he was the one who sold you to a prostitute house... Just because he didn't like the way you guys treated me." Roy mumbled in a low voice trying to hide the pain he was feeling, remembering the day.Mayra closed her eyes and tried to remember like a memory her mind was hiding behind played in front of her.*****"Babaaa...." The little girl cried as the goons pierced her father's head with a bullet."Nooooooooo..." Her mother cried but she was not aware of what was happening so she rushed towards the body of her father and wiped the blood dripping out of his forehead with her little frock."Babaa, I will heal you..." The little girl told as the goons laughed.Mercilessly, they pulled the trigger again and killed her mother too as Kiyaa turned to her side to see her mother's body, laying on the ground lifeless."Maaa... Aami asachi..." The girl cried rushing to her mo
"Would they accept me Ved?" Mayra asked sitting in the car beside Ved as she looked out the window.Roy didn't just ask them to come to any place but to Kolkata, his city and this made Ved even more suspicious. He was ready for the worst, taking precautions every step of the way but Mayra was relaxed. She didn't have even a single doubt about Roy's words. If he said that he knew about her family, he would make her meet them for sure. She was just wondering who they would be, what they must be doing in their lives, and will they accept their lost daughter.Another thought came to her mind what if they intentionally threw her out of their lives and didn't want her yet? What would she do then?"Why wouldn't they Mayra?" Ved asked tucking a piece of hair behind her eyes as a smile made its way on his face looking at her smiling."I am scared Ved..." Mayra told and hugged Ved, trying to feel okay.She was having all sought of questions in her mind that she wanted to ask her parents and al
"What the hell is happening here?" Ved roared as mayra came to her senses.She pulled away from Roy and glanced towards Ved who was furiously looking at them from the distance.Mayra then moved her gaze from Ved to Roy and saw tears filling his eyes as he ignored everyone but just stared back at Mayra.Ved's rage was at its peak but he was still holding on for an explanation from Mayra. He knew that Roy had something in his mind for Mayra but looking at her hugging him back, he felt betrayed."Ved...I..." Mayra started but was cut off by Roy."I am here to take you Mayra..." Roy said as Ved's anger surpassed his senses.He marched towards Roy and pushed him away from Mayra. Roy didn't even move his gaze from Mayra but in turn, he pushed him away and stood in front of Mayra again."Mayra, I will help you to find out who you are..." Roy said as Mayra froze.She wanted to know that too but could she really believe in Roy's words? Is this true or he is bluffing like before?But the tears
Ved walked down the stairs and glanced towards the dining to see Bharti and Jay but not Mayra. His heart instantly started pounding when he moved his gaze around but couldn't locate her.'She said she will be waiting...' Ved thought."She will be okay Bharti... We will make sure of it..." Jay mumbled to Bharti who was worrying for her daughter.Mayra looked fine to them but the heart of a mother knew that she was pretending. Although she did a great job acting okay but still Bharti missed the spark in her eyes."Where's Mayra?" Ved asked Jay who gestured towards the entrance.Before Jay could say anything, Ved rushed towards the door to see her but couldn't locate Mayra. He then moved his eyes from the sitting area of the swimming pool to the garden when he saw Roy touching Mayra's chin.Rage started building up in his head as he darted at them furiously.'What are you doing Ved? She needs space!' Ved thought and tried to calm himself but what he saw next angered him even more. Roy t
Ved opened his eyes as the first ray of sunlight fell on his face. He moved his gaze to his hand but there was no trace of Mayra at all."Mayra?" He called but no voice came out of his mouth.He looked around the room to find himself in his own room and hurriedly, he got up and checked around but there was no trace of Mayra. He searched for her things in the cupboard but it was still not there. Even the collage she made for him on his birthday was no longer hanging on the wall. The room looked like she never was here, like she never existed."Mayra..." He yelled but still nothing. It was like he just lost his voice.He then rushed out into his mansion and checked her room to find out that it was just as pale as his room. He was searching for her things from one place to another but it was nowhere near. The cradle he bought for their unborn was also missing along with the traces of any girl in the mansion."Mayraaaaa" He yelled with all he had and this time he could listen to his voice
"How are you feeling?" Jay asked stepping inside Mayra's room.After Mayra went back to her room, Roy walked away without saying a word to anyone and the policemen that came with him took care of everything. Ved was waiting patiently for Mayra to step out but she refused. She wanted to spend some time alone, away from everyone."You all should ask Ved about this. He is the one who lost the most today..." Mayra responded sitting up as Jay sat beside her on the bed."He is fine... You are not..." Jay said."I am fine too..." Mayra replied but Jay chuckled."Seriously Mayra, are we going to play this game now?" Jay asked tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear."How can I be okay Jay? I lost everything..." Mayra responded."You lost nothing Mayra. Everything's still the same..." Jay told but Mayra swayed her head and laid on her back."It looks like it is still the same but it's not. I don't even know how will I face the world when I cannot face myself..." Mayra said as she looked at
"Mayra?" Ved mumbled walking inside her room.He looked around but couldn't find her so he stepped towards the balcony as he knew she would be there like always, clearing her mind.As soon as he entered the balcony, he saw her leaning on the glass boundary with her head held low. He stood there, waiting for her to look up or notice his presence but a few seconds passed by and she didn't even turn her head back up. Mayra was reliving everything she went through in her life. The good, the bad, and the worst. She wanted to know where her steps were wrong, when she burned the lucky page of her life one by one.She wanted to feel it all at once so that it could stop. The pain she was having in her heart could stop. She wanted to accept it and move on, she wanted to smile again but it looked like there was no reason for her to smile.Moving from one phase to another, she just kept looking for something. A memory of who she really was. She tried a lot but she couldn't shake the feeling of
"Roy?" Mayra mumbled as he stepped inside staring at her face.He was back to his normal self. His posture was full of confidence, his hair gelled back into a ponytail, his body slim suit with many layers of chains, and his usual powerful aura.He ignored every eye staring at him but just rushed towards Mayra, not caring about the death stares he was getting."Mayra..." He mumbled as he stood in front of her, ignoring Ved who was holding her hand protectively.Roy hugged Mayra without wasting another second and Mayra let him. She even pulled her hand away from Ved and crossed them at his waist, hugging him tightly.She didn't know why but the feeling of being safe from any harm was still there in his embrace. He was the one who betrayed her and was the reason she almost got killed but still, she felt protected.Ved's veins popped out of his head when he saw their connection. He was raging but he controlled himself for Mayra's sake. She has been through enough already and she might nee
