2020-12-29 13:19:05Niharika's POV
My 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

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.

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 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 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

Arpit's POVMy life has literally turned into the best. I can't thank the lord for immaculately shaping my life. I remember when I first saw Niharika in the college and eventually I had fallen for her. I remember how selfish I was to hurt her innocent soul. 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 she is mine and she will remain forever.My project is ready. I am just waiting for her birthday. I know it will be the best birthday gift for her ever.I am waiting for 7th December, the special day of my Niharika.

I wonder if he was the right choice for the project or not.As the plane rose high in the sky above the clouds, I made up my mind to talk about the project with Arpit as soon as I got down. If he is not able to do it, it's fine I will hire someone else; I mentally planned.I dozed off as I was tired of my busy schedule in New York.My deep slumber was broken with the announcement of landing at the Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi.

Niharika's POVWith the wonderful sun rays falling on my face, I woke up from deep slumber. Things have really been hectic since a while. It's 7 o'clock in the morning and my maid cum PA (at home) Sapna knocked the room."Please come in", said as I was still on my bed struggling to get up."Good morning, madam. Here is your strong coffee. Breakfast is ready, madam. Kindly get ready and come downstairs. You have a meeting with your executives at 9:30 today", said Sapna giving all the details sincerely."Thanks a lot, dear."Finishing my coffee and morning business; I got dressed into an elegant maroon colored business suit. It was 8:30 by now so I grabbed my breakfast and rushed towards my Mercedes Benz where my driver was waiting for me. The ride to the office was short. I reached the office in ten minutes.Well! I stay in my ancestral home which is just twenty minutes away from my office.*****"Good morning, madam. You have a meeting

Niharika's POVClosing my eyes and relaxing a bit on my office chair, I went back to my college days.It was 3rd August, fifteen years ago when I first saw Arpit. He was my classmate during graduation. Sitting alone on my college desk and waiting for the professor to come, I had been checking my emails, when he entered the class and sat down beside me. I observed his movements as he kept his almost empty bag near my bulky bag which had many books."Hi. Actually this is my first day and it's been a week since college has begun, I am a bit late to join the course. Please could you share your notes with me? I want to know what all topics have begun. Please guide me", he spoke timidly to me with a slurred speech as I looked at him wide-eyed.I helped him with the notes and we even had our lunch together in the college canteen, wherein, he asked, "By the way, what's your name?"Smiling at his innocence, I said "Niharika Sehgal" and embarrassed at my foolishn

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
