*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
*Maheshwari Pov*“James!” I heard a voice screaming his name and there was a cough added to it too.I frowned halting my moments of peeling the vegetables and waited for the voice again thinking I must have imagined it.“James!” and that made me step away from the kitchen before reaching the living room to see two people standing there with frowns along with two bodyguards having nervous expressions.“Yes?” I asked making the two people frown at me.“Who are you?” the old woman asked and I frowned back.“This is my house.” I replied, making her gasp while the woman with her frowned before glancing at the old woman.“This is my grandson’s house.” I got the words from this old woman making me frown more.“You are Nakul’s Grandma? But he doesn’t have one, right?” I asked frowning.“I am kind of like that to that sweet boy but I was talking about James.” She explained and I immediately grinned before reaching near her.“You are James Grandma? Wow! I wanted to meet you for so long.” I said
*James Pov*“James!” that’s all Grandma said while I continued to stare at the door through which Swathi just walked away.“You shouldn’t have brought Tina.” I mumbled, turning to stare at her only to see a hard expression.“You shouldn’t have hid the truth of your marriage.” She retorted and I sighed, knowing well I can never win with Grandma.“You heard what she said and I knew you wouldn’t accept for any divorce in our family name.” I explained but she just stood there.I ignored her glare and continued to repeat whatever words Swathi uttered before leaving from the house. Wishes fulfilled after two months? What the hell is she talking about?“Poor Tina! I have been talking about the marriage with you and now if she knows you are already married, then I don’t know how much devastated she will be.” Grandma’s dramatic words brought me out of my thoughts.“She is not poor Tina.” I rolled my eyes, making her move to smack me again but I stepped back.“You don’t have care for your wife
*Nakul Pov*I couldn’t help but feel relief inside staring at the ceiling while Maheshwari is already asleep in my arms. I thought this feel would never be near me again with only guilt inside.But James made sure to remove it with evidence. I closed my eyes smiling thinking about the way I left to his office in between dinner not understanding his urgent call.“James! What is this about?” I asked, reaching his room and saw another guy with him shaking James hand.That guy nodded at me and left the room while James had this grin on his face before turning the system towards me and typed something making the picture of me driving the car fill the screen.“Why are you showing me this?” I asked him frowning.“Look closely, Nakul. There is someone in the car.” He replied and I stared at the pic more closely to see he is right.“Mom!” I whispered and I should have remembered her being in this accident too leading her death but this is too much.“I forgot about her.” I mumbled and glanced a
