Leena povI was about to take a nap after lunch when Sheena barged into my room and sat near me on my bed. She was fidgeting with her fingers and had a faraway look. She was in deep thought. I shook her shoulder to bring her back. “Dear sister, what is it? Do you want to speak to me but are unable to? “ I raised my brows and kept a finger on my forehead as if in deep thought. "Leena, I want to tell you something. Promise me you won't tell anybody.” She forwarded her hand and I kept my hand in reassurance. “ You know, in college, there is this .” She stopped abruptly. " What happened, Sheena? Tell me fast my heart is sinking, tell me before I die of a heart attack." I kept my hand on my heart. "Drama queen. Stop it. I'm going, I don't want to tell you anything.” She got up to leave, and I pulled her hand and made her sit.“ I will be serious now.” '" In college, I have been meeting this guy for some time.” She blurted in a go. “ Do you love him?” I quest
Leena Pov After wiping the droplets of water on my face, I opened my eyes to the view that stopped my heart. Kavya was struggling in the water. Before we all could even react we heard another splash and bingo two hands pulled Kavya into their embrace and swam to the shore. Since Kavya was coughing and breathing, she tipped her downwards on her knees and strongly patted her and she started coughing and spitting water. Arjun took her from Anaira. His eyes were glassy and red. I don't understand why he cares so much about the child. Is there something that I'm missing?“Anaira I would, “ Jai coughed."I mean we are very grateful to you for saving Kavya.” He joined his hands to show his gratitude.“She is a state-level swimmer.” Sheena barged in between. Kavya was stuck like a koala bear in Arjun's arm. Even Jai was comfortable with it. I found it weird that being a parent Jai should be more worried than Arjun, even Kavya should be with her father and not some
Jai Pov Both of us sat on the couch. My hands were on my knees and both palms were clasped together. I was wondering how to strike up a conversation. I was deep in my thoughts when Leena shook my shoulder. “ You wanted to tell me something. Please be fast. It is getting late, if my parents see us here together then they will misunderstand everything, and I don't want to lead them anywhere or give them false hopes.” “ Please don't get angry. I was preparing myself for this talk. It goes back to the time when Anita, my ex-wife, Kavya's mother, was ready for delivery. FlashbackIt was her baby shower that day and everyone was so happy. She was looking so beautiful in a pale blue saree with traditional jewellery, her head was covered with a veil. The blue colour suits her. That is why I specifically bought this saree for her. How did I get so lucky to have this beautiful lady as my wife with the child coming into our lives, I'm the luckiest man aliv
Jai Pov " Doctor, why didn't you stop her, or better yet, why didn't you tell me anything." I held the doctor's collar. " Prince, I had explained everything to her but she was adamant. I wanted to inform you but she said if I would tell then she would kill herself and put the blame on me and get my practice terminated. I'm sorry. Princess had asked me to give you this if anything happens to her during the delivery.” He handed me an envelope containing a letter. My lifeline, my sweetheart If you are reading this letter, it means I'm no more. You must be heartbroken right now but don't act rashly. Mind you not a single word to the doctor. I had threatened him not to tell you. Please forgive me, Jaan. I didn't have the heart to terminate the symbol of our love. What was its fault in this? I know I have given you a daughter, a princess, you had always desired. Don't blame her for anything, she is a part of me. Take care of her as you have always taken mine. It is my
Anaira Pov “Wow, the heavens must be very happy with me. Today Aunty allowed me to go without even fussing. She would always make excuses whenever I was supposed to go. My sisters needed to convince her to go, but today she willingly agreed. Before she could change her mind I ran away. I changed my clothes. Since it was too hot I chose to wear a white long dress which ended just above my knees, made a high ponytail out of my hair and applied kohl and baby pink lip colour. After giving it one last look, I took my purse, mobile and some cash that uncle gave me for my personal expenses. It is my uncle's secret. If by chance Aunty would ever come to know she would throw tantrums. As I was exiting the room I came face to face with Arjun who looked as if he just come out from the shower. His hair was wet but neatly combed. He looked devilishly handsome in a red polo and black jeans. The t-shirt did nothing to hide his well-toned body. My gaze stopped at
Jai Pov Leena asked me about Kavya's likes and dislikes. Then she along with her sister and Kavya led us to a toy store. Anaira and Arjun didn't want to accompany us so they stayed out. It is weird but from the time Anaira saved Kavya's life, I feel something is going on between the two of them. The way he looks at Anaira, don't get me wrong but he hasn't looked at a girl like that, Although girls throw them on him. Anaira is a nice girl and I would be happy for my friend. Kavya's squeal brought me out of my thoughts. “ What is it, princess?” I looked at the cart and it was full of dolls and their accessories, a doll house, and many other things.“ Princess, you have all these things? Why do you want to buy them again.” I asked her rather harshly as I don't want her to be spoiled when she grows. She turned and tried to walk past me. God forbid me, I don't want to speak to her harshly because I can't see her sad. After her mother's death, she saved my sanity. Before
Anaira Pov The moment Aunty saw me, she was astonished. She glared at me. Her eyes were red. “ What happened to Anaira?” Uncle's voice was full of concern. His brows were furrowed together in anticipation of the worst. Sheena narrated everything to them. Uncle came near me and caressed my face lovingly. He pulled me into his embrace. He is my safe paradise.“ I'm so happy that you were able to save this little girl here. I'm feeling proud of my upbringing.” Uncle kept his hand on my head in a blessing gesture.“ Such a small injury. She will be fine by tomorrow. No need to fuss over it. If she would sit and tend to her injury then who would work.”As usual, she was being insensitive to my injury. It is nothing new to me. I started going towards the kitchen.“ Where do you think you are going?” Sheena yanked my arm and stopped me from moving ahead.“ I am going to finish the work.” “No way are you going to the kitchen Unless you are fully healed.” Jai agreed wi
Arjun Pov We were sitting in the food court when Anaira excused herself to go to the washroom. It has been a while and she hasn't returned, I was feeling restless. I wanted to go and check but I stopped myself as I didn't want to give any ideas to anybody. As I was contemplating whether to go and check, the scene outside took my breath. I got up and ran to the entrance. Anaira was walking with Jai's help and even Kavya had bruises. I ran and helped Anaira while glaring at Jai. Don't get me wrong, I glared at him because not only Anaira but Kavya was hurt as well. Kavya was more precious to me than my daughter if I had one. I looked at Anaira and a thought stuck in my mind. How Anaira would look carrying my child. I mentally slap myself for having such thoughts when I can see her hurt and instead of knowing what happened, I'm thinking such things. “ Jai, what happened?” I was worried. Jai narrated everything but after giving me the look that says why do you e
Anaira Pov“ It feels like just yesterday, I had come to this house.” A hand on her shoulder disrupted her thoughts and she turned to find her husband standing there all dressed up for the event. His jet-black hair now has streaks of white. Lines have formed on his forehead but still, he is the most handsome man on earth. He has aged gracefully and is still the love of my life. “My dearest queen, the queen of my heart and my house, may I ask you what has occupied my queen’s mind so much that she didn't realise that she needs to finish dressing up for the occasion. Our guests must be waiting. Even Arjun and Raghav have arrived with your sisters.” Jai kneeled in front of me and kept his palm on mine. “ I was just remembering how we met and got married. Time flies. Today we are celebrating our thirtieth anniversary. Once again the house is filled with guests. Our children have grown up.” I was feeling nostalgic. My eyes were brimming with tears.“ I can understand. We should move out
Shh, it's me.” Amrit whispered in my ear. His warm breath caressed my neck. He started giving wet kisses on the nape of my neck. I arched my neck to give him more access. He turned to me and now I was facing him. His hand that was on my waist tightened. He pulled me closer. I can feel butterflies erupting in my stomach. A turmoil of unknown emotions erupted in my body Sudden stroke of thunder and lightning followed by a downpour disrupted our moment. “ OMG, it is raining. I love rains.” I shouted like a child who got their favourite chocolate. “ Do you want to go out and have a look?” Noticing our position and my excitement, I nodded shyly. Taking my hand in his he pulled me to the balcony. He pointed towards the left side where I saw a passage. When he switched on the light I saw a flight of stairs going towards the garden. He offered his hand which I took gladly. I was excited like a child. Leaving his hand I ran in the rain. “ Come, it is so fun playing in the rain. Com
Rashi Pov I am on cloud nine today as Amrit with his family is finally coming to make me his forever. Not in my wildest dreams did I think that Amrit would be a special force officer. Due to successfully completing this mission, he is promoted. I thought he was a mousette and worked in that parlour and was a very ordinary person. He also lied to me but it was just a cover-up to misguide his enemies. Not only this he also holds 45 % shares in his grandfather's company. His uncle and cousins are urging him to join the company and he said he will join once he accomplishes something in life. . Sitting on a horseback he was looking like a prince. The baraat procession filled with colours of joy and fervour stood at our entrance. I was decked up in a wine lehenga accompanied by traditional jewellery. Like the princess that I was, I wore my grandmother's jewellery. All beautiful and elegant. Feeling someone’s presence I lifted my eyes to look at the person through the mirror and I coul
Boom ,Boom .Another set of guns fired could be heard. Before anyone could react a voice from the loudspeaker reverberated in the hall. “ Don't try to do anything foolish. We have got you all covered. No use running away.” Hearing the voice the head pulled Rashi and pushed other girls in the opposite direction and started to run . All of a sudden he felt a hand around his neck and cold metal on his forehead. “ Don't you dare move or else I won't hesitate in burying all these bullets in your head.” “ Amrit, oh I think you have a short lived memory. You have forgotten that the life of your family is in my hands. Your little girl , your mother and your brother.” He started laughing menacingly. “I have not forgotten anything but I know they are in safe hands, I made sure of it. Now leave them.” Amrit hid Rashi behind his back. A lady dressed in uniform entered. “ Good day sir all the arrangements have been made.” She reported. “Listen girls, we had made arrangements for your rescue.
Third person Pov “You have come to save me. Please get me out of here. This place creeps me . Their boss will be here any time. Please help me.” Immediately I ran into his arms but didn't feel his hand around me . He was cold and distant. The feeling of security and warmth which I used to feel with him around is lacking today. Not feeling anything from his side I lifted my head and gazed into his eyes. His face was stoic and his eyes were cold . He pushed me and started laughing . A sinister laugh sending chills. “ You are a naive princess. Why will I save you , when I am the one who is responsible for your kidnapping.” With an evil grin he pushed her away. Due to the force she fell on the floor with a thud. He crouched to her level.“The fact that not only you are beautiful but also a princess was a cherry on top. I wanted to see that how it feels to fuck a princess. Was it the same or different?” He traced her cheek with his thumb and then pinched her hard. She shrieked.“ Sho
Third Person Pov “Is there some problem? Rest assured madam, he is the best.” The receptionist asked to see them standing still. “ Oh! Are you sure? If somehow I Am not satisfied then it won't be good for you.`` Rashi gave a sarcastic reply. “ Madam, please take a seat. I will give you my best.” The mousette spoke. Rashi sat on the chair with her legs on his lap. “ I am too tired to even move a finger. I hope you won't mind taking off my sandals. It is so hot here. Is your air conditioner not working? Hey you, go and check first then start massaging.” Rashi spoke with arrogance after all she was the owner of the mall. The mousse started his work. Something had gotten in Rashi today. Every now and then she would find faults in the mousse and scold him very badly. It was very rare for Rashi to behave like that. After ending their session when they were at the parking lot, a hand pulled Rashi and clasped her mouth. She felt something poking her. It was then she realized that she
Third Person Pov “ Ma please meet Amrit’s parents. I agree his family is not as reputed as ours but for my sake please meet them once.” Rashi was whining like a five-year-old. Amrit is her colleague with whom she is in love and has accepted his proposal. He is tall and dark with brown mysterious eyes. He seems to be over cautious as if he is hiding something. Rashi is head over heels in love with him. Her parents didn't want this marriage to happen. They feel something's not right. Even Jai investigated but was unable to find any flaws. “ Bhai either he is as perfect as our sister thinks him to be or he has hidden everything perfectly,” Raghav reported his findings to his Jai. Rashi has fallen in love with the manager of one of the cafes she visits regularly. It turns out that once he had been saved by a pervert in a bar. They met a few times and eventually, she fell in love. She wants to marry him; everyone in her family is against their alliance. According to them, he wants
Third Person Pov “ It is time to bring the bride.” Panditji announced. In hindus it is a ritual that the bride’s mama(maternal uncle) brings the bride to the mandap for the marriage . Yashvardhan and Gyatri are Anaira’ s mama and mami and since leena and Sheena don't have any mama, Yashvardhan proposed to fulfill this ritual for them as well. The three brides with Yash and Gyatri came into view. They were all decked up in traditional Rajasthani dress and heavy jewelry. With heads bowed little and covered with dupatta( shawl), they resembled a real queen without the crown. As they walked through the path to the MAndap , the grooms were in awe seeing their brides. They wiped their eyes which were filled with tears of joy. When they were seated Panditji started the rituals. First of all he asked MA to tie the end of my stole with Anaira’s dupatta. In the same way it was done with the other two couples. “ Gathbandaan is performed. The bride’s parents should come forward to
Jai Pov “ What happened? Why has music stopped and why are you all not dancing? Starting with the music, I want to dance. My brother is getting married and I can't even dance.” He kept his sword and saffa in the chariot and joined our guests. He was dancing like crazy. “ It was so fun. Dancing in your own marriage.” Dad had to drag him from there. “ I think you had way too much fun and now you better sit here and don't you dare move till you are asked to.” Dad scolded him in a hushed whisper. Both Arjun and myself had a hard time stopping ourselves from giving a full-blown laugh. “ So bro, had a good time dancing at your own wedding.” I made a sarcastic comment. He huffed hearing my comment. The barat was taking a long time to reach.I wish I had wings so that I could reach her quickly and have a look of my queen in her bridal dress. Anaira Pov “ Barat will reach here any minute. Girls, are you ready.” Ma spoke while entering. She was looking tense. Tension lines were evide
