I woke up after a relaxed sleep and saw the clock. It was 9 in the morning and I was late for the office. Finishing my daily chores, I got ready for the office. I wore the brown colored business suit today, the most elegant one in my wardrobe. I finished off my look with a chocolate brown lipstick and little eye-makeup. I made a bun of my bouncy hair locks. I welcomed my day with a new charm because it was a new beginning. I was starting to work over my mother's dream. It was indeed a great moment for me.
Having a bowl of cereal for breakfast, I rushed for my office. I wondered when Sapna would be back. I was missing the relishing meals she prepared for me.
Upon reaching my office, Mr. Bose informed me regarding the meeting in the conference hall today. Arpit was presenting his proposal to the board of executives and his research team. I will be announcing this project at a party today evening. I had invited all the dignitaries along with my employee

Arpit's POVI wondered what went wrong when I was called at her office but I was astonished at her amazing reincarnation as I entered her office. Her luscious lips were embellished by her strands of hair caressing her cheek. I was dumbstruck at her beauty and it was really difficult to maintain the composure.I was genuinely impressed when she got ready to show me the labs.We both came out of her office and entered the lift to reach the ground floor. There was no one in the lift. I was enjoying her enticing look and alluring aroma of lavender deodorant. She seemed engrossed in her thoughts. I went closer to her and whispered, "I love you."She turned towards me. I got startled and moved a step backwards and my back struck on the wall of the lift. She got closer to me. I could hear my heartbeat racing very fast. She whispered in my ear, "Then win me back". She bit her bottom lip seductively and moved backwards.The lift opened and she moved out while I

Niharika's POVI rushed out of my office and went to the beauty parlor. I had an appointment with the beautician for a makeover. I was organizing a party in the evening and I wanted myself to be a presentable host.After two hours of hard work, I realized that it was worth it. I looked fantastic in a peach colored silk sari embellished with a golden border. The red colored sleeveless and backless blouse added to the charm of the seven yard cloth draped gracefully around me. My hair was wrapped up into a simple bun and a curled flick of my hair caressed my cheek. I wore my dangling earrings (jhumkis) completing my look. I was utterly satisfied with my look. I chose to wear ethnic sari instead of a floor-length gown because I wanted to see Arpit's reaction.I came out of the salon and my driver gaped amazingly, "You look beautiful, Madam."I smiled and thanked him.*****I reached the venue and I could see different eyes gawking at me. After all, my

Arpit's POVI couldn't register what happened instantly. A moment before, I was admiring the enchanting beauty of my Niharika while now we both were holding hands and escaping out of the party. My heartbeat was racing heavily and I was dumbfounded for a minute. All I could do was admire her beauty. My eyes had a great treat today as they were struck at her smiling face today. She looked magnificent in her peach colored sari. I could sense her well-toned back in her backless blouse. The sari embellished her curves gracefully and she looked like a Goddess.I was thinking about our kiss. The moment I kissed her palm, I felt satisfied. I realized my apologies brought her near me and I will never leave till my last breath. I was immature earlier but now I am mature enough to retain the priceless gem."Give me your car keys", her sweet voice took me out of the trance."Where are we going?", I asked, finding ourselves in the parking lot."Car keys", she asked,

Niharika's POVI was amazed how my day turned out today. I was feeling satisfied revealing my feelings and experiencing the first kiss of my life with the person whom I loved since my teenage. I got into the car and ignited the car's engine.I glanced at him looking at me with twinkling eyes. I admired his side-glances and asked him, "Where shall we go?"He chuckled and said softly, "At your favorite place.""Stop staring at once", I said as it was difficult to concentrate on the road for me while those deep amber-green eyes leered upon me.He chuckled and gave a peck on my left cheek."Please stop it in the car. It's difficult to drive." I said glaring at him."You look ravishing." He whispered in my ear."Let me drive or you wait and see." I warned him.He placed a kiss on my collarbone and said, "I love you. I won't disturb you while driving."I kept on driving for a while to reach my favorite Indian Restaurant. The ride

Niharika's POVI indeed had a satisfying experience today or precisely, tonight. I reached home and rushed to my bedroom.I called up Arpit to check upon him if he had slept.He picked up the call immediately and asked, "Hey, Reached!""Yeah, I am changing right now." I answered back as I stood in front of my dressing table and removed my earrings.He chuckled a bit and said, "I wish I were there."I was taken back at his advancing response. I smirked and said, "You could have dropped in", while I slid down the edge of the sari exposing my red blouse in front of the mirror."If I were there, I would be removing the sari trailing the neckline of your blouse." He said as I touched around the neckline of my blouse feeling my breasts. Craving for his touch, my nipples hardened.Letting out a soft moan over the call, I said, "Then..""I will show you soon, dear. You will definitely love it." He said chuckling. He knew I was turned on

Arpit's POVI thought she would allow me to do anything with her, if I force her and feign anger because she had given in yesternight. I thought we could behave like teenagers as we did in college. I knew I had an effect on her. I thought I would do anything I want but she was indeed, strong to oppose. I realized today that I was wrong, very wrong. Her anger opened my eyes. I realized she was ready to do anything for me and I should not be taking her advantage at any point of time. I realized that the lab was not a safe place because my colleagues might observe our romance. Her position, indeed, had a reputation. My one mistake could ruin her reputation which she had built up over years. I typed a lengthy apology and sent her a text message. I was relieved as she had seen it after an hour. It was lunch break and I wondered if I should go to her or not. I received a call from Mr. Bose."Dr. Khandelwal, Madam wants you to give the daily report of the project everyday durin

Niharika's POVI left my office early as I had an appointment with my beautician today. My heartbeat was racing heavily the whole time. I was in the dilemma whether I should go for it or not. I called upon Sapna and told her about her off for both Saturday and Sunday. I wondered if whatever I was doing was correct but I realized that I wanted it.Without thinking much, I got my whole body waxed for the first time. A unique sense of sensation was filled up in my body upon the thought of planning this up for tomorrow. Pretending to read the magazine, while my pedicure and manicure was done,I wondered how he would react upon seeing me. Will he love me as I am? What if I am not good at his expectations? Something bubbled up inside me.I went shopping, precisely lingerie shopping today again, for the first time in my life. I purchased a sheer purple piece and a matching loose robe with it. I wanted to be sexy and presentable in front of me. I wanted everything to be spe

Arpit's POVMy life has literally turned into the best. I can't thank the lord for immaculately shaping my life.

I am thankful to have her back in my life.Today she called me unexpectedly in the office only to tell me that I couldn't kiss her till I fulfill her mom's dream. I know she is annoyed but denying me of my oxygen through her touch won't solve the purpose. I am content with my life and couldn't ask for more.

I know it will be the best birthday gift for her ever.I am waiting for 7th December, the special day of my Niharika.

Niharika's POVLife has indeed taken a good turn. Despite several ups and downs, I feel strong enough to face everything. I am lucky to have Arpit on my side. The fashion show organised by Vandna Gupta was a real success. My factory which was under construction is fully functional now. The international deal has indeed boosted up our shares and 'The Exquisite' is leading in the market.Now I am waiting for the fulfilment of my mother's dream. I am just waiting for the launch of the anti-aging product lines. Everything had been going fine with the research but suddenly this product is taking a bit longer in the lab tests. I am extremely angry at Arpit for this delay.Well! I am leaving for a business meeting in New York tonight to clear my head and guess what, I have not informed that idiot yet. I think I should call him otherwise, my man will turn into an angry old man. The thought of him being annoyed, gave me a chuckle.I am already amazed with the adventur
The Strings of Love Chapter 37
Niharika's POVI wished the lord that everything should be fine as his mom opened the door. He announced, "Mom, misunderstanding is clear. Please let us in. We need to tell you."I believed he did so because he wanted his mom to keep calm. His sister, Meehika chirped from inside, "O! Thank God. Mom was upset so called us over. Come, spill the beans."We entered his home when I saw his brother-in-law Arnav sitting on the sofa. Yash was sleeping in his arms. Poor boy, he finally gets to spend time with his dad, my mind wondered. Meehika just came over and gave me a hug, "Are you fine, Niharika?"Nodding my head in affirmation, I wondered if she was the first to ask me this. My would-be mother-in-law was giving a silent treatment while Arnav had picked his son and taken him inside."Come on, sit and stay calm. I will get water for you." Meehika said, turning towards the kitchen only to find his husband bringing us some juice and snacks.I inwardly sm

Niharika's POVI was finally relaxed at the turn of events. I was fortunate enough to have Arpit in my life, I realized.The chain of my thoughts were broken, when I heard Arpit's devastated voice."I am sorry, Niharika. You had to face too much because of me. I am sorry."I moved out of the café after making the payments, ignoring this idiot completely. He followed me in the parking lot. He was in deep thoughts and I was indeed, irritated at him.I sat on the passenger seat of my car and gave him the keys. I didn't want to drive. I wanted to share his company.He sat in the car and cupped my face with his trembling hands, apologizing again."Why the f*ck are you apologizing for something for which you aren't even at fault? I won't be annoyed at you because of that psycho." I screamed at him."You trusted me without judging me at once, matters me, dear. You never gave me any chance to get annoyed. The encounter with psycho doesn't matt

Niharika's POVMy heartbeat was racing. My eyes welled up with tears as Raghav's words rang in my ears.What if he actually has a past or present clinging to him? O! Lord, not 'present' at least. I can still adjust with a past.Wiping my tears, I tried to maintain my composure as I got off the car in front of the gate of University Girls Hostel. I saw Raghav and Arpit sitting nervous in a cafe beside the hostel as Shristi reached out to call Raghav. It was already evening as the hustle-bustle of the campus seemed to be quietened.We went inside and sat in front of them.Arpit and Raghav were both looking at each other. Raghav pressed the palm of Arpit signalling to speak up."Nih.., Niharika, I..I.. am sorry. It's all.. it's all because of me." Arpit said, stuttering as he controlled his tears.My world shattered at once. My worst fear was in front of me.Fighting my tears, hiding my emotions and maintaining my composure, I
The Strings of Love Chapter 34
Niharika's POVI was utterly devastated and afraid of the consequences if the pictures were released anywhere. I felt grateful to the lord to have Arpit in my life. He was so very understanding and rational. He literally didn't even judge me for once. I didn't even once plead to him to listen that it's not me. It was him who consoled me saying that it's not me and things will be fine. My man is indeed the best. I sat there thinking about everything and appreciating his personality traits as he fed me the breakfast.The doorbell rang. I was embarrassed to face Raghav or anyone. I couldn't believe these people would look at the vulgar pictures of someone with my face on it. I clutched the yellow envelope in my hands which was lying on the sofa and hid it in the kitchen.Raghav had come in with Shristi. He saw my pale face and looked at Arpit with a confused expression. He sat on one of the accent chairs and said, "Madam, what's the matter?"Ignoring him, I aske

Arpit's POVI wondered who could be behind all this. What kind of storm is approaching in our lives? I sped my car and rushed towards her home. Reaching at her house, I rang the main door. I was surprised when no answer came. My heartbeat began to race and I wondered if something bad was coming up. I called her over the phone only to find no response. I called her again. After calling her thrice, she finally picked up the phone."Niharika, are you fine? Why aren't you picking up my call?" I said immediately in a worried tone. I was already shocked today."I am fine. I was in the shower. You seem worried. What happened?" She asked as she heard my voice."Open the door, I will tell." I said to her, seemingly devastating.She hurriedly came downstairs and opened the door. I could hear her footsteps. She had draped her purple colored towel around her. She placed her arms around me and asked, "What happened, baby?" I entered the house bolting the door with o
