Third Person's POVMayra stayed on the same spot for minutes trying to figure out how her life changed in a matter of few moments. A few minutes back, she had everything and everyone but now, she felt all alone and struggled to keep herself calm.But it was not about her anymore, Ved needs her. She took slow steps to the couch and sat there, still wondering what she can do for Ved. The lawsuits would ruin his reputation and the media would not lose another second dragging the news in the negative direction. She didn't want to but to know about the scenario, she had to open the news channels."Singhania group of industries fails the labor class!""Labor union has shut the production to protest against the group!""How can such a big organization ignore regular checkups of the machinery. What were they doing all those audits for?""Losers!" Mayra yelled throwing the remote on the sofa harshly and scrunching her hairs.How can she not think of a way to help Ved?Why does she feel so hel
"Ved?"Mayra mumbled as her eyes fell on Ved who was sitting on the couch with his mobile in his hands.As soon as he saw her walking in, he stood up and walked towards her. Mayra too rushed towards him and hugged him tightly the very moment. She thought she would not be able to see him again for some time and it was breaking her heart to know that Ved left without meeting her.Sometimes we expect little things from people we love and when the other person doesn't understand you, it ruins you. Fortunately, Ved understood Mayra so well and made efforts to show how important she is in his life.Mayra kept her eyes closed enjoying the warmth of his embrace like before. Her smile never left her face while hugging him for minutes that felt like a few seconds."What did you think? I will leave without meeting you?" Ved asked with a chuckle tightening his grip on Mayra's waist. They both stayed close to each other's embrace without saying a word.It was different yet comforting at the same
"I have to talk to you about something..." Jay walked in on Mayra sitting alone on her balcony with her eyes fixated on the moon. She had a glass of bourbon that she held in her hand tightly like her life was depended on it.Jay walked in front of her when there was no response from her side and that's when he gained Mayra's attention.He noticed the dried tear marks on her face with worry written all over it too."You are still here?" Mayra asked placing the glass back on the table hurriedly and giving Jay all her attention.She feared that Ved was there all by himself and god knows what's planned for him by his family now. What if they wanted to separate them and hit?"Yeah... Are you okay?" Jay asked squatting down on his knees to face her."Jay, is everything okay?" Mayra asked instead of answering his question.Jay knew what Mayra is referring to as her face showed the turmoil of emotions she was facing. "He is okay Mayra... I need to stay here, with you..." Jay said but Mayra i
Mayra couldn't sleep all night as Ved couldn't get a chance to call her when he reached Mumbai. As soon as he landed, he was surrounded by the media and stakeholders. Although he asked Mr Verma to call her, Mayra was still not at peace knowing that Ved was stressed all night.She kept on trying to get connections to reduce some trouble for him but nothing came up. She just wanted to sun to rise so that she can do something about this problem.As soon as the morning sunlight fell on the room, Mayra quickly got up and get dressed to go out for the meeting she was waiting so patiently for.She didn't tell Mr Bhatt about it as she knew he would not let her do this for anyone. He knew that what she is about to do is a sacrifice and it may change her life completely but still she wanted to do it all for Ved.She got in the car that was sent for her and looked out of the window thinking about how this meeting must go. She wanted it to be perfect so that no one dares to try to pull such a st
"I wanted to talk about your proposal..." Mayra said.Roy was stunned by her words that came out of Mayra's mouth. He was expecting her to avoid it as Ved was in trouble but Mayra's interest in this topic made Roy smile.His hope of getting a positive response from her increased as she herself approached him about it. He was so eager to get her with him earlier but knowing that her decision is circumstantial, he felt a little bad.He wanted her to talk about it, have her doubts cleared and join him in conquering the country as they both stand side by side."I don't think this would be a right time to talk about it..." Roy murmured looking into Mayra's eyes with sincerity.Mayra stopped breathing for a moment when she thought that Roy has revoked his proposal. This was her hope to help Ved, the only way she can gain the power that is required to keep her family safe."Ohh Okay..." Mayra responded in a low voice.Her smile faded the very second and she turned to leave but Roy stopped he
Coming back to reality from the dreamlike past, he realised that he is hugging Mayra and not his little friend. His body tensed up and he wanted to pull off but before he could do or say anything, Mayra pulled out of his embrace."Thank you... You dont know what it means for me..." Mayra said with a pleasant smile. Roy felt happy knowing that he is taking place in her heart. He wanted to get close to her since day one and now he is making progress in the same. The biggest part of it was that she was trusting him enough to accept his proposal. This was enough for him to be happy for now."This is just the beginning..." Roy replied with a smile too."Anything you need at any point in time Roy, I am always there for you..." Mayra responded but Roy just shrugged his shoulders."That I know..." He said starting right into Mayra's eyes.Mayra felt like his words had another meaning but she was not in the mood to overthink anything. If he had any bad intentions for her, why would he help Ve
"Pick up the damm call Mayra!" Ved uttered throwing his phone on the table harshly. He tried calling her a few times but still, she was not picking his calls. He was now worried about her. He just wanted to ensure that she is alright but his stressed mind was just making him annoyed at everything.He realised that she must be resting or maybe busy trying to help him which made his lips curl upward. She has always been this selfless and the love they both shared was enough for him to know that she is trying her best to get him some help.He picked up his phone again and dialled Mr Bhatt's number. Just in a couple of rings, he picked up his call."Where's Mayra?" Ved asked getting straight to the point.Mr Bhatt was not new to his nature. Ved has always been so cold to everyone around him except Mayra. He has started showing his emotions recently which is a big thing as no one could comprehend before what his mind was cooking before."She has gone for a meeting..." Mr Bhatt told what w
"I hope I have not taken most of your time..." Roy said walking Mayra out of the villa.They both have been together since morning discussing their strategies to move further with their plan. Mayra glanced back at him with admiration. She was impressed with the way Roy guided her and didn't even make her feel like a stupid who knows nothing."Well, it was necessary..." Mayra responded stepping forward slowly to the exit.The guard was looking at Roy with shock. They haven't seen him give so much attention to women before and Mayra was the first he was respecting enough to walk out."I guess I didn't bore you then..." Roy said with a chuckle.He had a great time with Mayra being the only person her attention is for. He was not liking the fact that he had to share her attention with others too. He wanted her for just himself.Mayra too felt great having him by his side. He was a good distraction to the reality of life and she felt less vulnerable with him.But with Ved, she felt strong
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
