Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.-Anonymous "Cut! Take an ad break!" Kavya's distressed voice snapped the camera crew into action as they shut the lenses off but Mahi barely looked anywhere else but into those chilling dark eyes of Kartik Rao as he purposefully strode towards her with the whole studio looking at them with baited breath. "You are going to apologize to me as soon as we go back on air Mahi Acharya." His furious voice reverberated throughout the hall and Mahi had this sudden urge to laugh. 'Really? Who did this man thought he was?' "No, I won't Kartik Rao. I don't apologize for speaking the truth and you will do well to remember that." She spat at him, fully aware that by sabotaging such a rich potential client

Pallavi groaned as they walked together to their tables on the second floor to prepare for the next morning's interview. "I am never taking another Aryrvedic doctor's interview ever. All that man talked about was constipation, indigestion, loose motion. I mean SHIT! Literal shit! Man, thank god this is over!" Mahi laughed at her partner's apparent distress over the topic of interview of this morning with the successful Ayurvedic doctor who runs a large company of herbal products. "com'on it wasn't that bad!" She cajoled. "Plus now we know how to depict what aligtment we have simply by looking at our ..uhm.. s

Part 6You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,Love like you'll never be hurt,Sing like there's nobody listening,And live like it's heaven on earth.William W. PurkeyMahi couldn’t remember how long she stood there in the dark after he was gone, thinking about so many things all at once. A few weeks ago her life had been simple, clutter free and so less complicated and now day by day…. Hour by hour she had the feeling that her life was sinking, slipping away from the gaps of her fingers like sands of time and she remained there unable to do anything.“Oh, there you are!” Arjun gave her a mocking smile when she returned into the main hall where everyone was gathered from dinner, looking closely at her white ashen face and morose expression.“Kartik gave you a scare di

Part 7 BIf you don't get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you don't want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can't hold on to it forever.Dan Millman, Way of the Peaceful When she opened her eyes again, the first thing she saw was the clock on the wall. It was 6:30 in the evening and the sun was gone, she was in her bed once again and the room was swamped in darkness.“Oh! Thank god you are awake Mahi! I had been going sick with worry,” until then Mahi had assumed she was alone so, the feminine voice came as a shock.“Pallavi, is that you?” She asked and she heard someone moving around the room before the lights were turned on.“Of course it’s me girl. How are you feeling now?” Pallavi smiled at her and Mahi squinted her eyes to look at her friend who was still wearing one of those brightly colored dress suits, that she wears to work.‘So, she had came here directly from work, but why?’“What are you doing here?” Mahi asked, r

Part 8 BI'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.Friedrich NietzscheMahi could see her brothers getting angry and her mother’s shocked face as they peered at Kartik and for a moment she thought it was all going to blow up on their faces.

But five minutes in and the bastard had charmed away every single person in the room including the children who were now sitting on his lap, playing with the buttons of his shirt. Her father was laughing at something Kartik had said, while her mother was now fawning over him like he was her favorite child, whom she was meeting for the first time. A special part of her mother’s affection that was previously only reserved for Mahi was now being besotted upon him for no reason.
