*James Pov*“What?” I asked, frowning at her while she continued to stare at me blankly leaning on the door frame.“Enjoyed outing with your friends?” she asked and glanced over my shoulder, which I followed to see the both already left.“Actually, it was completely tiring.” I replied and she shook her head before walking into the house.“I am not a mind reader by the way.” I commented when she sat on the bed while I followed her into the room.“And I am an outcast.” Her comment made me frown and sat before her.“Well, why is that?” I asked and she fumed.“I mean, you three just went for a vacation and no one asked me. Not even Maha and it’s not like I would have accepted to go with Nakul being a part of it. But still what would both of you lose in asking me.” She asked and I can see the anger on her face.“Because this was not a vacation. Maha and I left the city and that friend of mine followed us.” I explained to which she let go of a little anger to leave space for confusion.“Exp
*Maheshwari Pov*“Hello?” I asked, lifting the phone ignoring the fact that he is calling.“Hello? Is that the way you greet your boss?” he asked and I smiled glancing at the curtains.“Sorry, Mr. Singh! Is there anything that needs to be done, Mr. Singh?” I asked and immediately covered my mouth to stop myself from laughing hearing his intake of breath which I am sure to control his frustration.“Yes! There is something you need to do, Mrs. Singh.” He replied and I leaned back smiling.“And that is?” I asked, moving to and fro in my chair.“Well, saying that you love me could be a start.” His reply made me lose my balance in my chair and I nearly fell back but stopped myself.“Is everything okay?” he asked and I calmed my fast beat before clearing my throat.“Yeah! I have some work to do.” I replied, trying to stop my hands from shivering.“Some work which your boss doesn’t know?” he asked and I closed my eyes.“Bye!” I whispered and hung up while still trying to stop my heart from b
*Swathi Pov*“Naku… Nakul Singh!” Maha stuttered, but I held her hand before following the man that was already walking in another way.“He will take us.” I said, holding her hand tightly and she nodded, but I can see the tears rolling down on her cheeks.I tried to control my shaking, but in turn just increased the pressure of my hold which she hadn’t even observed.“He is in the operating theatre. They are saying the effect was too much to his left side of the body. He even stopped breathing before bringing him here.” A man already there said when we reached near him.Maha and I sat down hearing the words he just uttered. I covered my face feeling my whole body shaking while Maha gave into the sobs.“Is it how you convey the details?” I heard a harsh voice and froze realizing whom it belongs to.“James?” I whispered uncovering my face to see him glaring at the person who conveyed what happened.“James!” I repeated and jumped up from the chair before moving near to him.“You are fin
*James Pov*I groaned hearing my phone ringing and opened my eyes to see the room is dark. Did I sleep for too long? I thought moving a little and sat up.Looking at the person sitting on the chair beside the chair made me fist my hand. I can’t believe I got fooled in this level.Actually, it was my mistake to change the plans. Now, there will be no changes at all. Within four months, it will be a goodbye.She slowly blinked her eyes when my phone started ringing again. I looked away, taking the mobile and lifted it with my good hand.“What is it?” I asked when one of the team member’s voice reached me.“Mr. Singh is here.” He replied and I sighed in relief.“He is awake?” I asked and can see a slight moment beside me but I ignored it completely.“The senior Mr. Singh is here.” His reply make me sit straight in silence.“Who informed him?” I asked him in a hard tone.“We didn’t do it, Sir. He has been in Mr. Singh’s room for the past five minutes.” He replied and I got down from the b
*Nakul Pov*“Hey!” I said when she slowly woke up from her sleep, which I know must be too uncomfortable.“Good morning! Do you need anything?” she asked, sitting properly yawning before smiling at me.“Yeah! You going home would be a start.” I replied, to which she sighed shaking her head.“Not again! I am not going anywhere.” Saying that she walked into the washroom with her brush while I closed my eyes.I wish I was not in that accident. Of course, everyone wishes the same, but I am not able to sleep unless some drugs are in my body. It feels like I am still in the car and too many questions in my head.“How is the patient?” I heard a voice and glanced at the door to see James just stepping in.“Don’t ask! Anyway, how are you able to come and go as you wish when you are also in this accident and even got hurt?” I asked to which he laughed.“Seriously? I was not the one who was operated. Mine is minor.” He replied and glanced at Maheshwari when she walked out of the washroom.She ga
*Swathi Pov*“Water!” I heard the voice and immediately moved from my bed to fill the glass fuming inside with frustration.“Here!” I said, walking near the person who had just his hand in a cast, but have perfect legs, which he can’t use or just decided not to use.“Go ahead!” he said not even glancing at me, but typing something on his mobile with his good hand while keeping the device on his lap.I would love to go ahead and throw this on that phone which he can use with the hand, but not to hold the glass and drink.What am I doing by being at his beck and call during these few days while he is finding new ways to irritate me? I thought, frowning, but then shook my head.If I had not known the reason behind his behavior I would have dumped this water on his face but I know the reason. I never in my wildest imagination thought that one lie would be the result of someone to get hurt.Well, I earned this game of his and the hostility, but I would not become some meek person for a mis
*Maheshwari Pov*“You look tired.” I opened my eyes to see Di sitting beside me.“Finished with your call?” I asked and she nodded, staring at me with a frown.“So, when is the big day?” I asked again when she was making a survey of me by looking at my face.“This next Saturday, but don’t change the topic. What are you doing to yourself for this past one month?” she asked and I smiled at her.“I can ask the same.” I replied, looking at her face.“Seems like we both always get everything at a time.” She mumbled sighing and I nodded.“At least I took a leave and doing all this. And it will finish within two weeks with his cast removed.” She pointed out.“And Nakul will be discharged this next week itself, but of course is said to be sticking to the bed.” I mumbled and she rolled her eyes.“Even then you will be going to work before coming back to take care of him. Maybe you should try to stay at the house at least in the nights during work days. This is not good for your health.” She su
*Nakul Pov*“Hey! Hungry?” she asked, walking into the room and I placed the files away fed up with reading them.“Yeah! How was the show?” I asked, looking at her smiling face.“It was the most amazing. I will go and change. We both will have our dinner because I am also feeling hungry.” Saying that she was about to walk out of the room but I called her back.“Shift all your things in this room.” I said the words as an order to which she stared at me for a few seconds before looking at the cupboard.“I still remember you shouting me to get out.” She mumbled and I flinched but shook it away immediately.“Well, there was supposedly exchange of brides and I was angry, hurt and so many things.” I said and she finally turned towards me with a smile.I sighed in relief realizing she was not upset, but then frowned when she suddenly chuckled. I raised my eyebrows questioning her reacting and she moved near to me.“I was not blaming you at all. That time I was stupid to keep my things here a
