Author's POVRishi's head snapped at the source of direction, his unstable eyes fell on a kid who was running away from her mother. A sudden rush of relief passed through his soul, when he realised that the kid's name is Anu too. Not that Anu who he was expecting. A part of him was afraid while another part of him was desperate to get a glimpse of his Anu. Sighing in relief, he turned around only to face Anbu with a questioning look. Rishi mentally face is palmed seeing her like that. " So, her name is Anu, " Anbu asked him, narrowing her eyebrows. Smart she. Rishi nodded his head stealing glances at her. He cursed his inner self for being such a desparate stupid to forget everything around him in a desire of see Anu. For a moment he even forgot Anbu when he heard Anu. He couldn't imagine how Anbu might have felt when he behaved like that. A moment of silence occurred. Anbu shook her head dramatically and resumed to walk forward, while Rishi followed her like a lost puppy. " A

I wanted to stop looking at those chocolate brown eyes which were doing something to me that I'm unable to describe. it feels so weird and ahhh..it's weird that's it.Not wanting to disappoint him I nod my head slightly giving the hint that he was looking for in my eyes from the past few seconds. I could feel the insensitivity turning more deep into the air, when I saw him decreasing the few inches of gap between our lips. and With a jolt he kissed me with his eyes closed for god knows what. where my eyes grew bigger feeling his lips moving against mine, I couldn't stop myself from circling my arms around his neck.

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.

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

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
