Anya's heart ached more than her cheek. She felt as if someone was clenching her heart with great force, trying to remove it from it's place. The piercing pain left her body numb to the effects and gazes surrounding her. She looked up with agonising eyes at Ronan and saw something that she didn't see in Rahul's eyes. It was guilt or maybe even remorse, she couldn't really tell but it definitely wasn't the despise that she saw in Rahul's eyes. It was the second time that she had been slapped in her life and it stung more than the first one, not because it came unexpected but because it reminded her of the first one and everything else that followed it and that's what made it worse .

    "I'm calling dad right now. He needs to know what a douche of a manager he's got." Viola said furiously, picking up her phone. Anya had just finished narrating the reason for her cheek reddening up while they were walking to the shop where the girls were waiting for them. Anya was using the foundation from Viola's bag to cover up the marks on her cheek." No, no! Vye, I told you, I'm not reporting him." Anya snatched the phone away from her hand.

    Some say love can happen only once while others believe in the notion that love doesn't occur on a single instance or on a single person but it's diversified over a number of things, that love can happen over a number of times over a number of people at various instances. The latter kind is sometimes looked upon by the former as they believe their love is more divine or holistic or even better than the latter. Anya was of the former kind. She had believed that true love existed and it happened only once and on one person. But that was during a part of her life where she believed in a lot of other things too. Now, she was different. Her notions had changed, her outlook towards life was different and her perspective of things had advanced. She knew better than love happening just once. She knew true love existed but this precious commodity, in her definition, existed only for a selected few. Some were deprived of it while others didn't care. She was deprived of it and now she didn't care

    Someone shook her hard. She couldn't breathe and so she tried opening her mouth to inhale some air but she couldn't. She tried to move but she couldn't. She tried to open her eyes. Everything was blurred, there was light and there was a face. A familiar face that looked more like someone she knew. She closed her eyes again.Someone touched her. She felt movement all over her body. She heard someone talking to her. It was a female voice, a familiar voice again.She saw herself walking through a familiar doorway. She was dressed well, as if she was going out. She saw a man standing near a well tainted car. The car was painted black and the man looked handsome, looked familiar. She tried to look closer but her eyes hurt. She was held by her arms and made to sit inside the car.She felt the soft cushion of a seat. She was still but everything around her was rushing past her vision. She tried to concentrate, to know her surroundings but her eyes hurt everytime she tried to look closer.She

    There are two kinds of whirlpool. The first kind is where a pool of water spins under the influence of high gravity and attracts everything inside it to it's hole. The second kind is the washing machine. Anya couldn't really tell the difference because that's how bad her head was spinning. She knew what a fit or more technically, a seizure was, since one of her friends had epilepsy. She knew what she must do when a person had seizure but she didn't know a person would fall unconscious after a seizure. Usually after a fit, her friend would almost immediately become normal except feeling a little weak but she never fell unconscious.Anya tried to think of something but her mind wouldn't just work. She bent forward towards Ronan and shook his face but he didn't move and her heart started beating so fast that it literally thumped inside her chest. She slowly placed two of her fingers near his nose to try and feel his breath. After a few seconds, she could feel air brushing against the part

    After an hour or so, a nurse told Anya that Ronan had gained back his consciousness and she could go see him. The news rose her heartbeat and she felt relieved, happy and a lot of other things that she couldn't exactly point. She hurried to the room but stopped at the doorstep. She knew that once she enters she would have to answer Ronan's questions. She knew that she would have to reveal things that she had locked up and buried deep inside her heart. She took a deep breath brushing away the thoughts and pushed open the door.She saw Ronan half lying on the bed with his head resting on the back, wearing a blue collarless shirt which was probably the hospital's dress code for patients and the doctor was checking something on his notepad. He looked so weak as though all the energy from his body had been sucked out. It hurt her to see him like that since she'd only seen him with the brisk face and robust body. Ronan gave a weak smile seeing her and she smiled back. Seeing his smile made h

    Anya walked slowly towards the male nurse trying to recall all the flirting scenes from movies that she had watched but nothing came up. The male nurse looked at her confused and said," Please!" He exclaimed with a sudden jerk and Anya woke up from her thoughts startled. " Don't walk any faster or you might hurt the floor!" He said in a serious tone. Anya lifted her brows and looked at him confused.

    " What?" She asked again as her voice trembled." You heard me. Now get in the car or both our secrets might get out in the open."

    May 2011, India.According to science, when a person looks at their new love, the neural circuits normally associated with social judgement are suppressed. This is what happens with women all around the world and is probably the reason why so many are betrayed, deceived, abandoned and divorced. Anya's mind reminded her of these lines as she held her stinging cheek and looked at the man standing in front of him with burning eyes. She couldn't believe it was the same Rahul that she met the first time, the same man who swept her off her feet or whatever that meant because none of it made sense now as everything was beginning to shatter right in front of her eyes. All the good aspects about Rahul that she had struggled to remind herself of, slowly disintegrated in front of the figure that stood before her. He wasn't the same man anymore, he looked different, far different from the Rahul she knew or she thought she knew." How dare you?" He screamed at the top of his voice. " How dare you s

She sighed at the message and got up feeling light headed.She knew getting her mind off all this stress was the only thing that will help her with the headache and with that thought in mind, she decided to go to work. She had applied for leave and it was her day off but one of the perks of being in a superior position was that no one questioned her presence.She dragged her feet off the ground and forced herself into the bathroom.

    "I'm so happy for you both, Ann." Victoria said for what appeared to be the hundredth time to Anya. Victoria had arrived that morning and would not stop expressing how happy she was for them. She also told her how deeply disappointed she was that she didn't have much time to plan anything or call anyone properly. Her emotions could only be suppressed when they told her of the proper wedding that may happen in the future but she would still not stop conveying her disdain at the rushed up wedding. That didn't stop her from bringing the best dress for her daughter in law to be. The choice of a dress itself was left to Anya's decision and she desired for a saree because she knew quite well from experience that Victoria would bring her something that she liked.

    "Why didn't you tell me before?" Anya spoke up breaking the silence as they drove back home."You know why." His brows were puckered up as he looked straight ahead. She wondered why he looked so upset all of a sudden. Could it be because she said that they couldn't get married the very next day?"I don't know why!" She exclaimed quite loudly. He stopped the car instantly, sighing as he leaned onto the wheel and that's when she realised something was really bothering him."What's wrong Ronan? Are you not feeling well?" She asked pressing her palm against his forehead as she felt his temperature. He felt so cold."Tomorrow's my real birthday, Anya." He said taking her hand from his head and pressed it over his lips.

    "Wha- what?" She gasped as she closed her palm tightly to escape the cold shiver that froze her hand but what he did later made the beats of her heart drum against her ears like the blaring sound of an horn.He knelt in front of her and took her hands in his. His hands were colder than hers and made her breath hitch. She couldn't take all the weight that was drowning her down and she found herself kneeling along with him."I know its too soon. I know that I don't even know your full name and honestly it doesn't matter because I'm here to offer you mine. I want my name to be yours, my house to be yours, my children to be yours, my happiness and sadness to be yours because I don't think I can do this alone, Anya. Ever since Nat left me, I stopped believing in relationships, marriages or love." He said brushing her cheek with her hand as a

    "What's this?" Anya shot her head back and found Ronan standing by the door holding a cover which she recognised immediately. She ran over to him almost instantaneously and grabbed it from him."I threw it in the dustbin." She eyed him warily as a mixture of embarrassment and anger rose up her throat."That's where I found it and I'm in complete shock now." He said wide eyed."What's there to be shocked about? I'm a perfectly able woman." She nudged him hard as her face constricted and he laughed. During other times, his laugh sounded therapeutic while now it was more annoying than ever."That's not what I mean. I'm shocked because I didn't hear a single complain of a cramp or uneasiness nor did I see you flinch during any part of the

    "Yes, I'm sure buying more than fifty flower pots in a day to impress Peter is nothing." Tash chuckled."What?" Anya laughed in surprise."I'm still holding on to my previous statement. It's nothing. I only bought them as a token of apology for my behaviour at his house the other day." Jess said in a disappointed tone."Well, how's he taking it?" Anya enquired as her mind was still processing the new information."Not well. He said it was not necessary as he doesn't care much about what she thinks. He kind of shoved it in her face by telling her that not even a million flower pots would open his heart for another woman. Ever." Emily said wryly stressing on the last syllable."Well, that's pretty harsh." Anya confessed as she tried to put on the top over her head."

    "Morning, Moonlight." Ronan's voice sweeped gently through her ears waking her up. He was busy pushing the curtains to the sides when she peaked through her eyelids.Anya squeezed her eyes shut as the light was too strong for her sleepy eyes to adjust. "Moonlight?" A yawn escaped her lips as she tried to straighten up."I bet you haven't heard that before!" He said excited jumping onto the bed and suddenly insecurities that she wasn't even aware of presented themself before her making her squirm in the bed. She had just woken up and there were high chances of her hair looking like a forest which seemed like the least of her worries when she thought about her bad breath and crusty eyes. She couldn't help but wonder how cleaned and fresh he looked with his wet hair. She tried her best to stay at a distance from him as she slowly reached for her eyes to clean the crust
