Anbu's POV
People think they choses love but it's not, because love chooses people. You can never decide with whom you have to fall in love, it happens in a blink of an eye without your own consent. And when slowly you realise what happened things get difficult to handle. And that's when the drama begins. Perhaps that's why people say love always comes in a package with unnecessary dramas.
But, if you want love then you've to endure and overcome the dramas, along with facing whatever that comes in your way because you can't have the fruits without roots.
I had to stop my thoughts abruptly when I heard Varun's voice.
"Anu..."
Shifting my gaze from the tissue stand that was placed in front of me on the
Anbu's POVI was freaking out after seeing him in my room, on my bed.The first thing I did after finding him on my bed was double checking the door of my bedroom. because I don't want to get another set of lectures from my parents if they saw Rishi here, inside my room.After making sure that the door is locked I slowly went near Rishi while taking baby steps. many thoughts and questions were lingering on my mind.He was sleeping on his stomach, so I was able to see his half face only as his other half face was buried in bed. He kept his right hand above his head and left hand was sandwiched between the mattress and his stomach.as I reached close to him, I heard his snoring. fresh morning, quiet room
Anu's POV" No way. I'm not buying that piece of cloth" I made a harsh statement disliking the cocktail, long V neck and backless dress which Masha chose for me. it was nowhere near covering anything on my body.Though, I appreciate Masha's teste of clothes but hell, I'm not wearing that for my office party. it would look so overdressed, and honestly i don't want any attention." don't be old school, Look at the black beads work......ohh my god, you have to wear this." Masha said being very excited, her eyes were sparkling adoring that dress through showroom glass.Rolling my eyes, I mocked her. " if you love this dress so much then you should buy this for yourself ""I wish I could, but I can't fit in
Anu's POVNo one can hurt you more than the person who knows you well.who knows all your ups and down, who knows your story, whom you trust with your life.People effortlessly have the tendency of getting affected by the people who matter to them.I'm hurt because Masha matters to me, and realising that even she thinks that I need a man in my life to survive makes me dispirited.I'm a well grown up woman who knows what is better for her. I'm living on my own and I've a daughter to raise. I'm not lonely, I'm not pathetic . fuck. I can live on my own.I've said hundreds of times to Masha that I'm no more interested in relation

She was happy to the fullest. her skin was glowing with the happiness she held inside her.Nine more days and she will be turned into Mrs. Rishi.

Anu's POVIt was dark and scary when I opened my eyes from a good nap. a muddy and smoke smell was hitting my nostril. still not able to get the clear vision I analysed a hush descended around.my eyeballs roamed around leisurely and found nothing other than peach darkness.My heart began to thump loudly when I realised the reality of my state, I was surrounded by darkness.The same darkness which hunts me down, eats me alive and makes me feel like an already dead person.my lips trembled, while my whole body was shaking by just a thought of what this darkness can do to me, and what else it did to me in the past.holding my breath, I tried to ge
Rishi's POV" ice cream" (ice cream )" ice cream"" ice cream"Not paying any heed to her seeking for ice cream, I focused on my driving. squeezing my eyes shut, then opened them again to keep myself attentive. Rolling my neck side to side to loosen kinks I yawned at an already drained out person who has got another problem to handle for the day.RiaI still couldn't imagine the scenario if I didn't pull the sudden break when Ria jumped out of nowhere in the middle of the road.my goodness, nothing happened as I imagined.After seeing her, the first thing I did was check if she
Rishi's POV"hello "Wait, I've heard this voice before too." Thank god, you called. How was your day ?"As soon as I heard Anbu's voice my eyebrows twitched in confusion, taking back my phone from ear I looked at the caller id and cringed mentally.why the fuck i called Anbu instead of Ria's parent ?Is it because her number was second in the dialled list, and did I just click on Anbu's number instead of the first Dialled number of Ria's parents ?shit!mentally cursing myself for being an absent minded idiot i repl
Author's POVAnu opened the main door of her house with a bang and went inside with Ria in her arms, throwing her handbag and house keys on the floor with anger. Anu walked inside. The kid couldn't understand what was happening to her, she just kept looking at her mother with her soft eyes.Anu walked inside her bedroom ignoring Masha who was sitting on the couch rubbing her temple with her thumb, impatiently waiting for Anu and Ria. Masha knew what had happened but she chose to stay calm until Anu talks about it on her own. as it's a very sensitive issue, she doesn't want to bring it up in front of Ria. A part of her was scared to witness the reaction of Anu, who is now behaving normal in front of Ria. but her teary and reddish eyes can't be unnoticed by Masha.ANU placed Ria on the bed gently, " baby,
Anu’s POV I froze on my spot, trying to breath for the sake of my life and to make it even more worse Sid pulled back only to bent his head till my level and look into my eyes for a brief moment before he went to the left side ear and purred “ And, it’s always going to be YOU….” letting his hot breath touch my skin and create havoc inside me. At this point, I just melted and now I want him to hold me before I collapse on the floor. He made me freaking weak, being my weakness. He’s my weakness, and instead of feeling threatened to realise that I feel a sense of contentment and happiness. It took so much for us to reach this point where I can trust him, give my heart and let him touch my soul. We built this trust through a lot of uncomfortable conversation, emotional vulnerability and with empathy for each other’s broken parts of heart which we eventually learnt to fix. We cured each other to make each other feel complete and that’s how we reached this point of healthy relatio
Anu’s POV “ be a good baby and don’t trouble Masha okay……Mumma loves you baby *umhaa*” Smooching loudly on the speaker of the phone , I heard Ria doing the same before the call ended. Placing the phone on the dressing table I huffed as my eyes pulled back to the mirror in front of me. I looked beautiful and glowing even in the dim lighting of the room.. Maybe the Skincare and months of doing yoga with a pit of laziness every morning is finally showing the results I wanted. Well, it’s been three months since I started to care for my skin and body after Ria gave me an earful of how I'm not taking good care of myself. I was amused to hear her talking about yoga and intake of healthy foods. Like from when did she know about all these ? But then I came to know that Ria’s new best friend, Dhruv’s mother, is a yoga teacher and runs her own yoga centre. At first I didn't want to join the yoga class because of my laziness and habit of procrastination. Besides, Sid would always make me f
Author’s POV “ How come I had no clue about your feelings towards me ? Was I that ignorant in those days ? “ Asked Anu blankly, staring at the ceiling of her room while her fingers played with the ends of her wavy hairs. The chillness of her hairs wetted Sid’s pink Ryamon cotton shirt as her head was placed on his stomach, while both of them were laying on her bed in mid afternoon to take a nap before Ria returned from her school. Once she gets home, it’s hard for both of them to take a moment of rest since Ria has become more mischievous nowadays and all appreciation goes to Sid who is spoiling her with all his rights. “ Because I was a good pretender…. “ Replied Sid who was also staring at the blank space of the ceiling. His fingers aimlessly tangled between the layers of her hairs while his other hand was placed under his head. The room was so peaceful for their own mood that none of them wanted to break this moment. The soft white curtains moved back and forth as Slow b
Author’s POV *Hey, are you free this evening ? I’ve two tickets for 96 movie, Evening show * *let me say this before you say Yes…... .just know that it would be our first date if you said Yes..*It took a lot of courage for Sid to hit the send button after he typed and erased the same msg for the past two hours. And when he finally hit the send button with a shaking hand and uneven breath, he shut his eyes tight not wanting to face her rejection that he was expecting despite filling himself with hope of a positive response from her. After a while he opened his eyes and saw the message being delivered but not seen as she wasn’t online right at this moment. He sighed leisurely, placing his phone on the table in front he leaned on the couch, biting his nails one by one. He realised that he wasn’t this nervous even when he was preparing for his board exams a decade ago or when his father caught him watching porn on his PC when he was in his first year of college. Finding no other w
Part 70 Author’s POV“ Keep your phone with you all the time, “said Rishi, rotating the steering wheel with his one hand while his other hand was behind the back of her head, on the seat as he glanced back to make sure of the clear spot to park. “ hmmm “ Anbu responded while she was lost in some thoughts.“ don’t skip meals even if you’re busy, “ he said, halting the car in the perfect parking slot and releasing his seat belts. “ Hmmm “ she again hummed without even paying attention to her surroundings. Looking at her he spoke “ don’t eat too much of oily foods, you’ll end up having upset stomach ““ Hmmm “ her eyes were fixed to the front of the car as she aimlessly kept playing the pendant of her chain. “ Try to make time and call me, or text me “ turning towards her side, He said to gain her attention. “ Hmmm “ she was still lost in her thoughts that she didn’t even realise that he was gazing at her for the past few minutes. with a playful smile lingering around the corner o
Author’s POV It was 2:36AM, Anu was sleeping soundly with her arms wrapped around her daughter. It’s been a week now since they have shifted here and Anu had been running to places since then, Ria’s new school admission process, new house arrangements and also finding a maid seems more difficult task then the above two Thank god to Masha who looked after Ria in absence of Anu as she had to go out often in this one week. And after all the rush and tiresome work, she managed to arrange everything. Hereafter she can join her new office in two days without having to worry about anything else. She was in deep sleep when the constant ringing of her phone disturbed her sleep as she leisurely opened her eyes and took a few minutes to shake off the sleepiness to gain her consciousness. “ hello “ she spoke in her horse voice. “ Masha, at this hour ? “ she asked on call, hardly able to keep her eyes open. Rubbing her eyes using her thumbs, Anu glanced at the clock when she put down the
Author’s POV “ Are you sure no one would catch us here ?” questiONED Anbu as soon as she stood behind Rishi, who seemed lost in gazing at the night sky. Turning around he shook his head with surety and spoke “ don’t worry, everyone already slept and i’ve asked one of my cousin to look out for us “ “ Hmmm “ she responde, looking around thinking of a way to start the conversation. The terrace was covered in peaceful silence, the dim lights provided enough brightness there. Covered under the night sky and serene atmosphere, both of them stood in an awkward silence for a minute. She began “ um…..what’s both…. “ “ let’s sit over there “ He spoke pointing at the right corner of the terrace. She and both of them sat down beside each other leaning on the wall behind them. “ what’s going on in your mind ?” She had no patience after watching him avoid looking into her eyes a few times. Every passing second was filling her with more questions and disturbing thoughts, He looked
Author’s POV “ What’s bothering you ? “ asked Swati who was helping Anbu in removing her make up after the function. It was nearly Two AM when the reception was complete and guests left after having the buffet, some of them didn’t fail to remark on the food taste though. Throughout the function Anbu was standing on the edge of walking to her room and throwing herself on the bed to take a nap. These Marriage things seemed exciting and interesting only when she wasn’t the actual bride. Exhausted, sleep deprived and tired are the words that can describe her current status. The happiness of marrying the man she loves is one side, but the tiresome they have to go through to marry each other seemed tiring that in middle of rituals she had this urge to get up and scream that she doesn’t wants a grand marriage anymore and would just have register marriage instead but she also couldn’t say that as her other side badly wants this grand marriage. After coming back from Delhi Rishi and A
Author’s POV “ What do you want now ? '' Anu fumed in anger, glaring at Rishi, who was seated across from her on the couch in the hall. It’s been a few minutes since Masha called him in after convincing Anu for this. Since Anbu didn’t want to be an awkward and unwanted part of this conversation between Rishi and Anu, she assured him that she will wait in his car till he is done. Masha had taken Ria to upstairs before calling him inside the house as per Anu’s demand. Anu didn’t want Ria to know about Rishi. Meanwhile Rishi took a brief moment to examine his surroundings. He could say that she had maintained the home well and tidy but what surprised him was those brown carton boxes which were placed here and there in different sizes, some packed and some half packed. Leaving the furniture, other things seemed already packed and ready to be moved. He realised that she is in the process of shifting to somewhere else, but he won’t dare to ask her about it. Anu’s eyes reflected th
