Ekta's words kept ringing in Mayra's mind as she walked into the crowd. "You took my child from me!""He never even married anyone!"'Why did he not marry Sania? What kept him away?' Mayra thought.Her mind was unable to register the reasons that would have stopped him. She forgot the biggest one, that he still loved her!She rushed towards Jay when she couldn't find Ved at the party. She walked from one corner to another but he was nowhere to be seen."Thank you for wearing this! I will announce our engagement now..." Jay said as soon as Mayra stepped towards him.Mayra just glared at him and didn't respond to his joke but her focus was only on finding Ved."Okay just joking... Man, no one appreciates good jokes now!" Jay mumbled chuckling."Where's he?" Mayra asked ignoring him altogether. Her mind was too engrossed to deal with anything else at the moment. For now, she wanted to clear things out with Ved and know where they stand. The idea of a future with him was now visible to
"It's Jay!" Roy yelled moving his eyes from Mayra to Jay starting deep into his soul.Jay's face scrunched at his words and he lost his cool. How can he, a nobody who's been a few days in Mayra's life put such a big acquisition at him?"Who...what...what?" Jay shuddered as he tightened his fists to control his rage.Roy was not at all bothered by Jay's expression and Mayra was also lost in her thoughts without uttering a single word."This is absurd!" Mr Bhatt yelled taking Jay's side.Roy who was watching Jay in rage turned to look at Mr Bhatt the same way."And you were supposed to know that long before me..." Roy shouted but Mayra was still looking at him without an expression."It's Jay you are talking about. How can we even believe this?" Bharti argued.Roy looked back at Mayra and waited for her to say something but she was quietly staring at him. Her gaze seemed to be penetrating his mind and revealing all that he has been hiding from her. Roy too could not understand how she w
"I believe him!" Mayra said looking at Jay whose heart was crushed by her words.How can she even think that Jay would do such a thing to her? How can she not remember the promises they made to one another?How can she refuse to see the love and care he has for her all this time and puts her before his own needs just because he loves her goddammit!"What the hell Mayra!" Mr Bhatt yelled but Mayra kept looking at Jay who stood there frozen to a spot. He felt like the ground shifted from his legs and he is falling down in a black pit whose end is nowhere near. Tears formed in his eyes and he tried his best to not let them fall by turning his back to Mayra and closing his eyes but still, they were spilt from the side of his eyes.Who said a man cannot cry? He's just as human as everyone else and he has feelings too. Roy was dancing happily in his mind in his victory. At last, he has gained Mayra's trust and removed a very big obstacle from his plan. He wanted to laugh at the silliness
"What's up?" Ved asked joining them in the tense environment.As soon as he entered the room, Mayra's face flushed and she turned her head towards Jay totally avoiding Ved. She couldn't understand why but she was avoiding Ved's gaze. Maybe because he would be able to understand what she is trying to ask and that would just complicate things.They all just shrugged his questions and joined the people to dance on the beats. Jay took Mayra's hand and forcefully dragged her to the group of people dancing. She couldn't refuse so she too grooved along with the song and started swaying her body.The vibe became very cheerful as the beats joyed everyone's heart. This is the speciality of Dhol. Their beats just make everyone energetic not letting anyone stand idle.Ved was standing on the side as he is not the kind of person who dances casually. Earlier he danced with compassion because it was a chance to make Mayra happy and connect with her but now, he was not sure if he can really dance to
"What!" Jay's jaw dropped listening to Tanya's words.This was the first time Tanya was trying to blend in and despite teasing her on many occasions, she never responded but this was the only time she tried pestering Jay back."N...nothing," Tanya denied thinking this would hurt his ego.She knows who Jay is and what he is capable of. Although she has seen him behaving like a child in front of Mayra but she knows how ugly things can get if someone insults him and she doesn't want that. "What nothing, do it!" Mayra ordered placing an egg on Tanya's hand and keeping the basket away.Tanya looked at Jay and then the egg to know if it is okay with him or not but Jay was still processing her words with his mouth hung open.Tanya couldn't gather if it really was okay to throw that egg at him or not!"Do it, do it, do it!" They all started cheering when they saw Tanya's uneasiness. She wanted to do it as Jay too had teased her several times but she wasn't really sure if that was a good idea
"We Must do something about him. He is getting way out of line now!" Jay muttered angrily placing his glass back on the center table."I agree..." Ved replied looking towards the stairs, waiting for Mayra. He has seen her disturbed after his dance with her and knows that it has something to do with either Roy or his mother. The chances are that both played a part in ruining the peace of her mind and Ved was well aware of how much pleasure that would give his mother.------"You would stay away from her!" Ekta yelled pulling out her hand from Ved's grasp and taking a step away.Ved was dragging her away from Mayra when he saw her talking to her and by the looks of it, it was all not very decent talk."Who are you to decide that? Haven't you done enough?" Ved asked angrily. His calm composure was breaking and his real emotions were showing up. He was trying so hard to not show how much her interruption bothered him but with her acting up every single time, he was not going to let her
"My Will!" Mayra replied with a comforting smile on her face.After saying this, she looked at Ved who was intently staring back at her to know what was in her mind. If one doesn't know him, they would definitely declare him as a pervert as his gaze never left Mayra but Mayra knew what he was trying to do.Mayra gave him a gentle nod to assure him that she is fine. Ved wasn't convinced but he let it go as what Mayra was doing didn't feel wrong to him. He knew that Jay had the best intentions for Mayra, even better than Ved so what's better than giving him another responsibility of being family?"But..." Jay said but was interrupted by Bharti."When Mayra asked me about this, it didn't even take me another second to know that this is the best decision she has ever made..." Bharti replied with a beaming smile.Ved nodded in agreement but Jay was still in shock. "No!" Jay asserted placing the document back on the center table. It was just too much for him to gather on the same day and h
"Because you love her..." Jay froze for that moment as he didn't know what to say to that.He knew that what Ved was saying was right but he was afraid that this revelation may have some effect on Mayra's life. He was afraid that she might take some drastic steps to keep Ved safe or this would affect their friendship.He didn't wanna lose her at all. Not even as a friend."I think you are living in a world with fairies!" Jay replied composing himself by the trace of horrors in his thoughts.He wanted to sound calm and sarcastic but his voice came out a little softer making Ved sure about his words."I won't tell her..." Ved assured to make Jay come out of his shell.Ved has bottled up his emotions all his life and knows what Jay must be feeling. He wasn't able to show his feelings for Mayra and all this while he was trying to get Ved and Mayra together for her happiness.Only love can make one this selfless.Jay's mouth hung open at Ved's confidence. Is it too obvious? What could V
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
