Mahima's POV" Mahima, come here, beta! " Dad called my name again. I went to him slowly as I could feel that all the eyes were on me. And two eyes were burning holes in my skin." Here is my daughter, Mahima, the very talented chief architect of our company. " He said and there was a very round of applause." Wow!! Beauty with brain. A rare combination." One of Dheer's friends said and Dheer nodded." Very nice, young people usually come with very fresh ideas. Well done. " A business associate of dad said and congratulated me. I said a polite thank you. Dad was standing right beside me while people kept pouring me with compliments.I was quite aware of his eyes on me.Once people praised my design and congratulated me, mom came to us and said, " Come with me beta, even my friends, want to meet you.

Mahima's POVJatin was about to pull and tear my dress when a strong punch landed on his jaw and he fell to the floor with the impact. I cried out of relief and turned to see who it was. Dheer was standing there with his eyes red with anger. He was raging like a bull does on seeing red. " Are you all right, Mahima? " He asked me tenderly and I tried not to cry and just nodded. Dheer was so angry that he made him stand and kicked him again. He tried to fight with Dheer but Dheer was taller and stronger than him and on top of that Dheer was extremely angry and Jatin was drunk. He kept beating him till Dheer's friends came in and pulled them apart. Dheer got himself free from his friends' grip, came to me and asked, " Did he hurt you?" He asked looking at me. I just shook my head. " Don't lie!! When I entered the house, I saw, this basta*** saying those things and slapped you. " He caressed my cheek where he had hit. " I am fine... Thanks. " I said. " What the hell is going on her
After one year...Dhruv's POV" Dhruv, take bath and come for the breakfast. " Mom called after me when I came back from jogging and workout session from our home gym in the basement. " I am not hungry, mom," I said and went to my room. Though I was living in my villa now, mom insisted that I come and stay with her for a few days as she was feeling very lonely. Dheer had gone to Delhi for some official work. " But I got all your favourite dishes made. " She said coming after me. " Why?? When you know, I don't want anything. " I turned to look at her and asked. " Dhruv, it is your birthday..." Mom was saying but I stopped her bluntly. " No!! It's her death anniversary, mom! " I said. " Dhruv!! " " Mom, please... Do not argue. This fact would never change now. She lost her life last year on this day, all because of me. How can I celebrate it?? " I snapped at her.Her eyes became moist all of a sudden. " Stop blaming yourself. " She said. " Not in this lifetime... Please don't a
Dhruv's POVI saw Dheer, he looked shattered. The moment he saw me, his facial expression changed. I could not bear to see the expression he gave when he saw me." Dheer, I am sorry... You were right... He tried to... I will kill him. " I said to him.Dheer came near me and punched me hard." You don't deserve her... How could you trust him over her? She tried to push him away and she slapped him to stop him but he slapped Mahima back and misbehaved with her. " He caught my collar and said.I nodded and he punched me again. I wanted to kill Jatin but could not find him." She is your wife, it's your duty to save her honour, even if you don't love her back. " He whisper yelled at me." Even if I don't love her back? What does that mean? And, You love her, don't you?? " I asked him." It doesn't matter... " He said." It does matter! Tell me!! Be man enough to accept that you love her. " I said." Yes, unfortunately... " He said and I got angry too. If he can tell me now, why couldn't h
Dhruv's POVWhen she agreed to marry me, I got even more annoyed as I thought that she loved Dheer, but then why was she marrying me? If only I knew all what Dheer told me today, I would not have behaved like that. But now I knew the reality and had to find her. Someone honked the horn at the back of my car and I realised that I was still standing on the road thinking about which road she could have taken. But I was clueless, as I never tried to know anything about her. Hell , I didn't even know what was she studying. I always called her good for nothing while she so good at her work. I didn't know where could she have gone?? I wish, I knew anything about her. But I was so busy trying to hate her that I put so much distance between us. What do I do now?? I wanted to find her but which road should I follow? I tried going on the first one and I went about ten kilometres, but still no clue of her, the problem was I didn't even know if she had taken this road or not. I didn't know w
Dhruv's POV" We found the car in the valley, it met an accident with a bus last night and the car fell into the valley and caught fire. " He said and both of us were stoned. " What?? How is that possible? " Dad was saying. " But it happened, sir. We are sorry to inform you. " The policeman said. " But who would drive the car there?? Everyone is here at home. " Dad said. Oh, God!! " Sir, we don't know that yet but the car is found in the valley in the burning condition. There have been a few dead bodies there since the bus had also fallen there." He informed dad. " Who drove it there?? Only Mahima use that car, because of her sentimental attachment to it. But she must be in her room. Isn't it Dhruv?? " Dad looked at me to confirm. But I didn't know what to say in front of the police. " I don't know, dad. I just came home. One of my friends was in a problem, I went to help, just came back. " I said. Dheer was glaring at me." She must be in her room, but then who drove that car?
Dhruv's POVBut what bothered me now was that if she had feelings for me then I must have hurt her beyond the limit.I remembered clearly that the next morning her eyes were red and puffy so I asked her why were her eyes swollen when she slept so well last night?But she said it was some allergy. And then I told her to get it treated or dad would say that I made you cry.She said that I can't make her cry as she has no feelings for me.I knew she was affected so again tried the same thing but she changed back into her normal clothes and left the room. I wasshocked and when she didn't come back I went to look for her but could not find her.I checked her room it was locked. And she was not in the living room then where could have she gone??Dheer's room?No!!!I could not sleep easily thinking that she was with Dheer. I don't know why was I getting affected by it?Then for almost a week, she left the room every night. Until one night, when dad caught her going out and brought her back
Dhruv's POV Though I didn't want to go to our construction company, there was some issue, dad was not in the office and Dheer just came back and called me there. We both had our different fields of expertise. I handled the technical issues and he is a CA, and handled financial things. Ideally, he should have taken care of the production house and I should have worked with the construction company but after what happened to Mahima, I didn't want any connection with the construction site because earlier I wanted to be the CEO of that company. The moment I reached there, I called the site manager and asked him what was the problem?? And he told me the groundwater level was very low and the old asbestos pipes were found under the ground, contaminating the surrounding soil. " Oh, then the site is to be temporarily closed while specialist teams removed the contaminated material," I said and told him to hire such a team. Then I went to meet Dheer, he was reading a file when I re
