The next day Vikrant sat on the bench in the boys locker room wondering how he was going to tell his best friend that his girlfriend was a two timing bitch. He'd listened to the recording Kaly had sent him, even though he didn't understand why she'd sent it to him, but he guessed she thought he'd be the best person to break the news to Raj. He just didn't know how his friend was going to take it."Hey, dude." Raj walked into the room. "I thought you'd left.""I was waiting for you." He said."Oh. Why?" His brows furrowed. "What's wrong? You were very distracted during practice." Raj sat beside him and slapped him playfully on the back. "Girl problems?"Vikrant scoffed. "You should know better." He muttered dryly."So... What's up?" Raj probed. "We're buds, remember? I know your secrets and you know mine.""Not everything." Vikrant thought. He would never let his friend know of Sarita's crush on him unless she told him herself, or worse, how much he craved to be with her in every poss
"What the hell were the two of you thinking, fighting like criminals?!" Principal Matheson demanded, glaring at the two boys standing in front of his table.They were both bleeding in different places; Vikrant had a cut near his hairline which was bleeding, his left eye was probably turning black and his jaw had taken quite a hit too but Raj was worse off which pleased him. They'd been separated by some of their teammates and the football players as well and they'd have gone at each other's throats again if the principal had not shown up breathing fire from his mouth. Vikrant had never seen the man so mad - he was red in the face like a cartoon character that was about to explode."I don't want to know the reason for it." Matheson spat, as if one of them had spoken. "I would like to see both your fathers tomorrow. Damage to school property, injuring a student in the process... Both of you have gone mad!"Well, they'd not meant to destroy some chairs and tables in the cafeteria during
Sarita felt something was off as she walked into the building the next day. Everything seemed different but it was the same which made her wonder if something serious had happened in school while she was away.She walked to her locker, looked down the hallway to Vikrant's locker hoping she'd see him but he wasn't there so she figured he wasn't in school yet. She'd called Kaly last night to tell her she'd be in school today and asked if she'd come over like usual so they could go together, but Kaly had said she couldn't because she'd promised Mike she'd go with him instead."That fight was the best I've witnessed in GGH for as long as I've been here." A girl chatted excitedly. "I couldn't even tell who won.""Vikrant won hands down. He has a black belt in karate after all." The other girl said."And judo, taekwondo and all those martial arts nonsense." The first girl waved her hand dismissively."Excuse me." Sarita interrupted them.They both turned to look at her with matching looks o
Kalyani was taken to an empty classroom where she saw Vikrant's father waiting and Raj was with him. She knew exactly why she'd been summoned and felt ashamed because Rohan was her favorite uncle and she had three.The door closed behind her and she just stood there staring at the ground until Rohan told her to come over. "You both know why I called you here, right?" He asked them."Yes, sir." They replied."Are you sure?" He arched a brow."Yes, sir.""Good." He nodded. "What I would like to know is why you both said what you did to him. I'll ask you first, Kaly, since yours is long overdue."Kaly's mouth opened and closed for a few seconds before she cleared her throat and found her voice. "I was... young and immature. I was angry he'd lied so carelessly about something like that, even after I caught him... retching, and realized he'd lied. I couldn't stop myself.""I see. You caused my son immeasurable pain because of a trophy which he'd broken and lied about." He echoed, then fac
A week later Sarita opened the door to the music room dejectedly and shut it behind her. It had been three weeks since she last saw Vikrant and it seemed that the rumor going around of him never returning to GGH was true. She would never see those blue eyes again or his boyish mischievous smiles and worse... his scent. She'd never get any of the moments they'd shared in this room back, and it hurt because... she'd grown used to having him around.She looked up from her shoes to the person seated in front of the piano playing a familiar tune and her eyes widened in surprise. The mop of black hair, his scent that she'd missed so much and she gasped."Mayank?" She breathed.He didn't answer and just continued playing that tune making her draw closer to see his face. His eyes were closed when she was finally able to see him so she just stood there and stared at him for a long time.His eyes opened and his blue eyes connected with hers but like the first time they met - he stared at her
"Ah… fuck!" Vikrant groaned, pounding into yet another maid's vagina at a frantic pace trying to find his release. After that toe curling kiss with Sarita, he'd grown hard just thinking about it, so he'd come home straight from school to find relief. But, he'd not been able to do anything until he imagined Zena as Sarita."Harder." She pleaded. "I'm coming!""You feel so good." He rasped and bent his head to suck a nipple into his mouth while his hand traveled down between them to tease her clit and she climaxed, clenching tightly around him and he found his release.He rolled onto his back, breathing heavily and didn't bother looking at Zena as she got out of bed and began to dress."It gets better each day, young master." She said. "I'm available anytime you want me." She blew him a kiss after she was done and walked out of his room.He sat up, removed the condom and tied it then tossed it in the trash bin beside his bedside table. He rose to his feet and walked buck naked to his ba
Sarita held out hope that Vikrant would show up for the play but as the auditorium filled up with parents and students and teachers... She saw no sign of him. She found Kaly and Michael sitting together in the Fourth row, talking and laughing and she wondered what they were talking about."Sarita." Raj called.Sarita jumped and whirled to face Raj. "Yes?""Are you okay? You look nervous." He said."Well, I've never done this before in front of a large crowd.""You'll be fine. You're a natural." He smiled, placed his hand on her shoulder and squeezed. He peered behind her through the curtains at the crowd and sighed. "He's really not coming, huh?" He muttered."Who?" She hoped he was talking about the same person she was thinking of."Vikrant. I asked him if he'd be here but he said no." Raj replied. "I called his bluff because he's the type of person who says something and does quite the opposite." He sighed. "I guess... he's really not coming.""I see." She looked down at her feet."
Rohan looked up just as the doctor walked into the waiting area searching for someone and he jumped to his feet and walked over to meet the doctor. "How's she?" He demanded. "Are you a family member of the injured patient?" "Um... I'm the father of the baby." He lied through his teeth. He knew the doctor would advice him to look for her family members if there was any emergency and papers were needed to be signed by them. He couldn't risk her life like that. "Babies, you mean. She's having twins." The doctor informed him. "We need you to sign some papers so we can perform a caesarean section on her to get the babies out. They're in danger." "Of course." He nodded. "Come with me, sir." He followed the doctor, signed whatever was needed to be signed and the doctor left him again assuring him that his babies would be fine and he returned to the waiting area. He'd not meant to tell that lie but he wasn't sure he would ever regret it knowing that he'd done something good to save the
Samishka Singh stood in front of the buffet table wondering what to eat. There were different assorted dishes and desserts laid out for the guests to choose from but she was finding it hard to pick a specific dish. It was her youngest cousin Vikrant Suryavanshi's wedding and anyone who was somebody in Cardenia was in attendance. She snorted as she vaguely remembered that two years ago, Vikrant Suryavanshi would never have expected to find himself a married man before he turned twenty or worse be a father to two adorable gorgeous boys. But here he was, two years later, happily married to her little sister Kalyani's best friend Sarita Madhav. Now known as Sarita Suryavanshi. "Love... Look what you made him do." She muttered. They'd had an Indian wedding and this one was a church wedding. "Are you going to stare at the canapés all day or take a bite from them?" An amused male voice questioned beside her. Sam turned to face the newcomer and her breath hitched in her throat when she saw
They were married. She was his wife but Vikrant still felt very nervous as he stood at the altar waiting for Sarita to walk in. Her father had not been very happy after they told him that they intended to wed in the church after their traditional wedding but he'd given his consent, agreeing to walk her down the aisle. He straightened his jacket, checked his cuffs as the pianist began to play the wedding march song and almost wiped the sweat off his brows but he caught himself and silently cleared his throat. His breath hitched in his throat as the doors opened and Kaly walked in holding a small bouquet of peonies, followed by the ring bearer; Michael's cousin Sean and the flower girl and finally his bride appeared with her father. The walk to the altar took forever but he didn't mind as all he thought of was how gorgeous she was in the embroidered tulle wedding dress with a sweetheart neckline that she was wearing. He thought that he was a very lucky bastard because she was his to h
Vikrant stared at his ex-best friend's face in shock. He couldn't have heard him correctly, right? "Unfortunately, Divya beat you to it." Vikrant said. "Why are you telling me this?" "I can't... I can't do this anymore. I've not been able to sleep or study. I want things to go back to the way they were." Raj replied. "I came here to ask for your forgiveness, Vikrant." He dropped to his knees. "Please forgive me." Tears sprang to Vikrant's eyes as he stared at his former best friend on his knees. He'd cherished his friendship with Raj and he'd even thought of him as his brother from another mother, but he'd been the only one with the clear conscience in that relationship. He was eternally grateful to Kaly for exposing Divya and whose betrayal made him see Raj for who he really was. He was starting a new chapter in his life. He was a father and soon to be husband to the most wonderful girl in the world. He didn't want to bring his past into his future so he had to sever all ties w
Three weeks later Tears streamed down Sarita's cheeks when she walked into Vikrant's hospital room and saw him awake. The first week had been a rollercoaster ride for her as his blood pressure had dropped all of a sudden and the doctors had fought really hard to bring it back up. She'd been in school when she got a call from his father that he'd woken up and was asking to see her, so she'd gotten a leave from school and came straight to the hospital in the car his father had sent for her. She settled down on the chair his father had been sitting on and moved it closer to the bed, clasped his hand in hers and raised it to her lips. "You scared me to death, Mayank." She accused amidst tears. "I thought I'd never see you again." "I'm sorry." His smile was faint and his voice hoarse. His face was regaining its pallor but he still looked pale. "Don't ever try that again. Do you understand?" She hit him gently. "I forbid you." "Are you hitting a patient, Anushka? A very sick one at
Raj stopped in his tracks when he saw the crowd gathered in front of the music room and his brows furrowed. He moved closer, wondering what was happening but couldn't see anything until he heard Divya's voice calling out Vikrant's name. He fought his way to the front and froze when he saw the scene; Sarita sitting on the ground in a daze while Divya cradled a bloody Vikrant in her arms. His eyes traveled to the gun on the floor and his heart skipped a beat."Oh, God." He muttered. He was shoved aside as someone rushed into the room and he watched as Kaly rushed over to where the two girls were and knelt down beside Sarita."What's going on here?" The crowd parted for Principal Marek to walk in and he also went still upon seeing the scene. "Call for an ambulance!" He ordered. "Please tell me an ambulance is on the way.""I already did that sir." Michael spoke up."You killed him." Sarita's detached voice made everyone turn to look at her. They knew she was squeamish around blood but s
Two days later "I did tell you that he'd come around, didn't I?" Kaly reminded Sarita as they stopped by her locker during the second period. Kaly's definition of Vikrant 'coming around' was a hello from him and a concerned look. She figured that it was better than behaving like strangers but in Sarita's books, that was nothing. If anything, it made her both anxious and angry wondering when they'd make up. She wasn't scared to admit that she'd missed him like crazy and hoped she wasn't the only one feeling miserable. She inputted the combination for her locker, opened the door and gasped when she saw the flowers and hearts littering her locker. There was a bouquet of red roses, a chocolate box wrapped in red ribbon, a handmade heart-shaped card and a heart-shaped globe that had tiny red hearts floating inside of it and a photo of the two of them smiling at each other. "Oh. My. God." Kaly's jaw dropped open. She grabbed the card, opened it to peruse what was written inside and
He rose to his feet as well. "Are you sure about that?" He arched his brow. He walked up to her, snagged her around her waist, and pulled her flush against him. "Will you stop me if I tell you that all I'm thinking about right now is kissing you senseless. Will you stop me?""I don't want your stupid kiss." She bit out.Behind them, Kaly started singing the Little Mermaid 'kiss the girl' song mimicking the crab's voice. Her antics diffused the tension as Sarita burst out laughing and Vikrant followed suit but instead of them kissing as the song suggested, he wrapped his arms around Sarita and she did the same."Do you still want my stupid kiss?" He whispered in her ear."No." She pulled back. "It'll make me like you again. I don't want to like you again."Vikrant's lips curled up in a half smile. They were going to be good again. He was going to win this fight and get his girl back. Sarita Madhav was his and no one else's."Just... Be careful." She murmured. "Come back."Vikrant chuck
"Not on your life!" Vikrant roared. "Never!""Never?" Karan chuckled softly."NEVER." Vikrant repeated emphatically. "I'd prefer to die than to give them up. They're mine." He took a deep breath to calm himself down and flashed Karan a smile. "Sarita included.""Is that so?" Karan challenged. "Are you sure you want to go down this road?""You got greedy... Friend." Vikrant answered. "You upped the stakes so I'm doing the same. I want all three of them for myself."Karan laughed. "I like your son, Mr Suryavanshi." He told Rohan as he rose to his feet. "He's brave, but I'm sorry to say... Stupid." He seared Vikrant with a death glare. "Friday 5pm, Exodus Arena. Don't be late.""You want to fight with him?" Rohan asked."Fight to the death." Karan said. "Loser relinquishes his rights to the girl and the babies." He sized Vikrant up. "I heard you won the U18 MMA award two years ago and your opponent was a year older than you were - bigger than you were too.""So?""You're not green behind
"What?" Sarita exchanged puzzled glances with Vikrant. "Twins?" "Yes." The doctor nodded. "Hidden twins are common in mono amniotic pregnancies which is true in your case. Your babies are sharing the same sac which would make them identical." "You know, mom thought so too, Sarita." Kaly said. "She was right." "So... They're fine, right?" Vikrant's voice came out a bit shaky. "The fall didn't hurt them?" "Their heartbeats are strong." He assured him. "Baby A seems to weigh more than Baby B but it's not so much that we have to worry." He pointed to the screen to show them the babies' fingers and toes and whatnot. After a lecture from the doctor about safety, Sarita was discharged and they left the hospital. Kaly looped her arm around Sarita's as they waited for Vikrant who'd gone to the restroom to come back so they could leave. "I'm so happy for us, Rita." Kaly squeezed her hand lovingly. "Twins! I hope they're both girls." "Absolutely not." Vikrant growled from behind her, havi
