Author’s P. O. V. Zoya glanced at her wrist which was filled with thick bangles of contrasting sizes and designs still meeting with symmetry with the sliver color; she painted her nails black. She sighed, Life with Kabir Oberoi was Black all black. She wore the simple black saree that was sent by Kabir earlier this morning; It had a thin border of sliver color; the saree was beautiful with small detailing at the ends; Zoya plated the pallu (end) at her shoulder in such a way that the strapless neckline of her black blouse was seen from the side; she defined but skinny shoulders giving a nice look. She had not forgotten to apply a little bit of highlighter lotion on her arms and neck; her makeup was nude; with winged eyeliner; her crimped hair falling over her shoulder. She glanced at the clock strike at 7:11, she still had some moment before the nightmare came. Brushing her hair once again; she looked at herself; she looked just fine. 7:13 pm; She pulled the heels out of the shoe
Author’s P. O. V.You know the time you hate the most when you have to make small talk with others just to be a people pleasure; Zoya was in that situation right now and she fucking hated it; well correction loathed it.“How many months it has been since you guys got married again?” Zoya wanted to kill the woman who dared to ask this. She was already irritated by the fact that Kabir’s hand was right on her waist.“Umm… 6 months,” Zoya looked at Kabir as he blinked his eyes; she wanted to make sure she was saying the correct date; their lies should match!Well, they pretty much need to.“So ladies and gentlemen, let’s have a dance by the lovely couple,” The host announced as the spotlight fell on Kabir and Zoya.‘Fuck my life! Now I have to dance with him? ‘Zoya fake blushed at him as he took her hand in his before he started to walk toward the center of the hall.Zoya leaving with no choice had to follow him; His hand rested on her waist once again as her hands traveled to his should
Author’s P. O. V.“YOU—“ Zoya was about to shout at him when he undid her blouse hook too; her eyes widened even more but before the cloth around her chest could lose the grip over her breast and shoulders; Kabir held it in place with his fingers.“I will kill you,” She glared at him; the amount of anger she felt for him is already enough for her to kill him.“Not the time sweetheart but if I leave your blouse right now, it will be a show for everyone,” he said as he loosened his hand for a second; Zoya got closer to him as his chest brushed against hers.He looked into her eyes; “your image will be trained first,” he smirked as soon as she said that.“sweetheart, do not forget the last party when you fainted in the middle of signing marriage papers and people started thinking I banged you in the room too hard? If I can bear that, do you think I care of embarrassment?” He said. Zoya could see how serious he was“what do you want?” she asked as he started moving towards the side where
Author’s P. O. V.It has been a week since that incident since the party; Zoya had become all quiet with Kabir; she would give him medicines, and food, and do his shirt in the morning like everything was fine but it was not.She had not spoken a word to him since that evening. He was dying to hear her voice.When you are in love, you long to be with your person, you long to hear their voice, to see them smile. Kabir had never seen her smile with him; maybe because of their past; she was not happy with him and he knew that.“Zoya,” He called her name; as usual he stood in front of the kitchen; she was cleaning the dishes after he had had his breakfast.She wiped her hands; did not even look at him and started doing his shirt buttons.He kept his fingers under her chin but she stepped back; he opened his mouth to speak but she walked back to the room.‘ I need to fucking hear her voice,’ he desired to hear her say something, anything to him, address him, lash out at him but look at him
Author’s P. O. V.“Yash?” Sherlin called his name as she knocked on the door, as usual, it was open, Yash quickly kept Shayra’s dress aside and wiped his tears; he didn’t bother much because he knew his eyes were red.They ought to anyways; he had been n tears for the last 2 hours.Sherlin entered the room and saw him sitting on the bed; not on the floor; she looked around; the room was filled with Shayra’s photos.She could see all the memories he made with her in 3 years of their marriage. Each one of them was beautiful even if it was full of pain. It was painfully beautiful.“I needed to talk about something,” she said and took a seat taking care of her black saree.“Yeah sure, say na,” he said as he opened his eyes; Sherlin could see the reflection of the broken man in him; it has been 3 months since Shayra’s death, and he still sits alone for hours looking at her picture talking to her while he spends the night in her room with his daughter and little kitten they had grown to lov
Author’s P. O. V“Sherlin?” Yash called her whispering her name as she turned around to look at him; still taking care of Aahana who was sleeping on her shoulder; it was 9 pm already, and the kid was asleep.“I will stay the night in our room,” Sherlin’s smile dropped for a second.“Do not worry I will check up on you both in the night at least once; she has started to become a light sleeper,” Yash said masking his emotions.“Umm hmm, Okay,” She hummed in response first before she nodded at him and walked towards her room; Yash walked behind them just to open the door for her because it would be difficult for her when she is carrying his little girl in her arms.“Goodnight,” She wished him to stay; being near him made her feel some sort of comfort even if it was just for his daughter and the kitten.She was slowly and steadily falling for him.“Night,” He replied; nights were not good without Shayra; with her by his side, every night was good even in the worst situations but without h
Author’s P. O. V.Covered in Shayra’s scent; Yash took out a bottle of packaged juice from the mini fridge in his room before he settled himself on the bed.Looking at Shayra’s dress, he bite his lip before he took a pillow and put her dress on the pillow, and hugged it.“This does not even compare to the warmth you gave me every time I came in your arms, Jaan,” He said as he hugged the pillow tighter; all her clothes were losing her natural scent.That made him miss her even more; the fact that even her scent was slowly leaving him.His head was aching so he lay down; his eyes fell on the photo of theirs which was of his last birthday. He was going to be 32 in minutes.He could not help but remember her wishes, her smile, her laughter, moments he spent together with her.Yash eagerly looked at Shayra as she came and raised a brow at his excited face, “what?” she asked as she started to blow dry her hair.Yash’s goofy smile dropped as he looked at her; her face showed no trace of smil
Author's P. O. V. "You knew?" She looked at him with a shy smile as she placed the key in his hand and he unlocked the cuffs of his hand. "How can I not?" She asked holding the small cake in her hands and looking right back at him. " I thought you won't—" shayra smiled at him and shook her head. "I wanted to surprise you at the exact moment you turn 29," she said as she motioned her eyes for him to blow the candle. Yash smiled as he looked at her with love and adoration in his eyes. He was about to blow out the candles when she said," stop stop stop stop," he looked at her surprised. "Just don't blow them, wish something first," shayra said as Yash chuckled. "Shayra... All that is for kids," she narrowed her eyes at him before she said, " we all have an inner child is which needs pampering, " she gave him an answer, the answer he longed to find all these years. She knew he was forced to grow up sooner because of his father's death and now he just thinks all these pamperings ar
