Raghav Pov A voice resonated through the microphones. Good evening ladies and gentlemen. We are happy that you all could take out some time from your precious time and join us for the auction. The auction would begin in some time. Meanwhile, you could enjoy the starters and drinks that are being served. Hope you will enjoy the evening.” The lights of the stage were dimmed. It was weird but I ignored it. Maybe the organizers want to give some sort of surprise. “ Hello, young man. You must be Raghav, Yash’s son and the younger brother of this gentleman.” Aarav's uncle stood from his place and came near me.“ Hello, sir. Indeed I am. It is nice meeting you.” I bowed to touch his feet and took his blessings.“ Daddy I am starving.” My pretty girl whined. I chuckled at her antics. We served our plates with all the delicacies that were being served. The waiter served us our drinks. All of a sudden Sheena got up from her place.“ I am going to take a seco
Arjun PovTomorrow is the gala for which Raghav has come. Before meeting him today, I was confused as to why Uncle sent him here when we could have easily attended. He must have forced uncle to send him so that he could meet Sheena. He loves Sheena but then what about Jai? He is left with no option. However, Leena is a nice girl. Even though Anaira is a nice girl, being an orphan is against her. Uncle wouldn't want to marry him to an orphan.“ Arjun,” Someone is calling me. I opened my eyes and saw Anaira calling me.“ Why are you calling me?” I was half lying on the couch.“ Why don't you go and sleep in your room? You will suffer from back ache and stiff neck if you sleep on this couch.” I forwarded my hand to her to pull me up. She took it and started pulling me. Suddenly she fell on me. On instinct, my arms protectively wrapped around her waist. Her soft body was caged in my arms. Seeing our position, her cheeks gained colour, and she looked cute with it. If I moved my head a lit
Jai Pov I was driving the car frantically. Anaira’s call scared the hell out of me. I will never be able to forgive myself if anything happens to Arjun.“ Be careful, bhai.” Raghav turned the steering wheel. It was then I realized that if he had not turned the wheel, our car would have slammed into the upcoming truck.“ Oh! shit.” I slammed harshly on the steering wheel. After parking the car at the side of the door, I got down and turned my head in both directions, but the truck was nowhere to be seen. Raghav came from the other side.“ What happened, bhai?” I pulled him into my embrace.“ Someone tried to deliberately hit us. The truck was driving on the wrong side. Moreover, it has vanished as if the earth has sucked it completely.” Raghav was dumbfounded as the realization hit him. He was opening and closing his mouth like a fish, but no words came out.“ Come, let's go now. I don't know what is waiting for us back in the mansion. Anaira was panicking.” I was opening the driver'
Jai Pov Raghav was near him. He put the gun on Raghav’s head.“ I will pull the trigger if someone dares to come near me.” Life sucked out of me seeing the gun on Raghav’s head. My legs wobbled, and I slipped to the nearest chair. As if all the strength was pulled from me, I was feeling weak.“ Where is Anaira? Bua, you had promised me that I would be the one for me. You told me that everything was clear today and I could have my way with her. Then what is all this? Why did you involve the police in it.” He roared.“ Leave him.” All the heads turned to the source of the voice. “ Anaira, you don't need to do that. We will find some way.” It was Arjun who tried to put some sense in Anaira. As for me, my body and mind were numb. “ Anaira, go ahead and save Raghav. As it is, he is our guest, and we must protect him.” Aunty gave a slight push to Anaira. Arjun was pointing at something, but I was unable to decipher. “ No, beta, please don't go to him. He will manhandle you.” With teary
Arjun PovThe nurse and the doctor hurriedly went inside. I was panicking as to what might have gone wrong, and half an hour had passed since they went in. Time was ticking, but there seemed to be no sign of them. Finally, the door opened, revealing an exhausted doctor and a tired-looking nurse. I rushed near them.“ How is she?”“ She is fine. Can I ask you all the reasons for her panic attack? Is she having them for the first time today, or have they been happening for a long time? If the answer is yes to my first question, then please tell me the reason, as it would aid me in the treatment.” I sighed in frustration and looked at Uncle. He gave me the signal to continue. With lots of effort and self-control, I narrated everything to the doctor. The doctor sighed and shook his head in disappointment. He went inside. Time was passing but still no news from the doctor. Dawn has broken, the grey sky turned into the hue of orange, and twilight popped in through the windows. The bright li
Arjun Pov“ Oh, God. What will I do now? I am not yet ready to reveal everything.” Frustrated with the situation, I ran my hand in my hair.“ Bhai, everything is crystal clear, so why can't you reveal now,'' Raghav whispered.“ Why are you both standing there and whispering? What is the matter?” Anaira called from the bed. Shit, I had totally forgotten that she was in the room.“ Nothing, princess. Nothing for which you need to worry.” I tried to coax her.“ But there is something. "“ Princess, you should not stress yourself.” As I was covering her, Uncle entered.“ Arjun, Yash called me. He would land in an hour. He sounded worried. I think he came to know everything. You and Jai know it was not my fault.” Uncle took my plan in his and looked at me with hopeful eyes. His palms were ice cold due to fear and anxiety.“ Uncle, Dad is your friend, and he will understand the situation. If he doesn't believe you, then we will explain everything to him. Don't stress. We are with you.” I sq
Yashvardhan Pov “ Dad” All the heads turned to the source of the voice. Jai entered, and he bowed to touch my feet.“ Jai, what is going on? Care to explain.” I was unable to control the anger that was surging in me. I wanted to keep my voice low as Anaira was a patient and she needed rest, but the anger in me forced me to increase the pace of my voice.“ Dad, Anaira needs rest. Can we come out and talk.” Jai came near me and hugged me. It is his way of pacifying me, which he knows always works. “ No need to. Even I want to know the truth. I think I have the right to.” Anaira spoke to us, simultaneously glaring at Jai. Jai’s head was downcasted, which was quite unusual. Jai always speaks with eye-to-eye contact. Something is weird, but I can't pinpoint it. Hearing my loud voice, other family members joined us.“ Is there something wrong? Please don't mind Anaira; she is like that only. Doesn't know when and what to speak. I am sorry from her side.” Reema Ji was blabbering, which w
Yashvardhan pov“ Are you out of your mind? How can this be possible? Only the princess was saved.” Aarav got up and stood near me. His face held an emotion that I was unable to decipher. It was a mix of surprise, anger, and something else which I was unable to understand.“ Calm down, dear. What I said is the truth. First of all, calm down; then only I will be able to tell you everything.” I got up and patted his shoulder, which relaxed him. I know my personality can sometimes be intimidating. I was taller and broader, and this was sufficient to scare anyone, but for this, I needed to be calm and gain his trust. Before that, I need assurance from Jai.“ Let us all sit and calm ourselves.” I made a dramatic pause. “ Jai, son, please come here.” I patted the space next to me for him to sit. I took his palms in mine.“ Son, I hope after I tell you everything, you will not leave me and understand why I did what I did. It is the question of life and death. There were reasons for not tel
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
