*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
*Nakul Pov*“Nakul!” I finally came out of my thoughts to see Maheshwari looking at me with worried eyed and I tried to smile.I really did try, but I just couldn’t not understanding each of my Mom’s behavior stumbling in my head each head. It’s as if I didn’t open their bedroom door, but a door to my locked away memories.“Will you come to work today?” she asked with a hopeful tone and I shook my head in negative.After the fire memory, I continued my life, but each memory is making me stumble back and I did a big mess out of an important deal making us lose it.“It will be good if I don’t come for a few more days until I settle myself.” I gave the same excuse and she sighed nodding.Oh god! I am vexing her with my attitude and everything. I was supposed to make her too happy and here I am sulking.I moved myself to assure her and promise that everything will be fine, but if suddenly felt like I don’t have any energy left within me.“Just remember that I love you.” Saying that she wa
*James Pov*“Now, you are going to die.” Hearing those words from the device made my blood run cold along with everyone in the room.“But let’s wait for some time.” These added words are like some sort of balm to the pain and I glanced at the man who is locating the place with more hurry than before.“Don’t fall asleep on me like that again.” We heard the annoyed voice with felt so sick and I took a step back staring at Nakul who is looking pale now.Swathi moved away from him and walked to the door where I am standing typing on her phone, but I immediately took it away from her to which she glanced up.“Don’t call your parents and get them worried. We will find her and it is better to inform them after doing that.” I said staring at her tear filled eyes.“You sure you want to find her?” she asked, taking her phone back and stared out.“What are you saying?” I asked her frowning and she immediately stared at me with complete anger.“What am I saying is how you acted like a jerk with
*Maheshwari Pov*I took a sip from the coffee and closed my eyes, feeling an inch of relief which I know will wash away after finishing this and facing the future.Why? I thought, frowning still not understanding his behavior. I would have thought he would question me or even show anger, maybe even hurt yesterday.But all he did was tucking me in his arms and caressed my scalp while not giving me a chance to say anything. I still remember how many times I opened my mouth to talk to him.However, each single time he could just hug me more tightly and make a sound to maintain silence. Why? I thought again and turned around opening my eyes before pouring the liquid in the basin.“Coffee was not good?” I gasped and turned around to see him walking into the kitchen with a blank face which he held on to from yesterday.“Do you want some?” I asked, suddenly feeling awkward and that was more painful than the confusion I had in my head.“Sure!” saying that he looked around but not at me before
*James Pov*“I didn’t do anything wrong. He killed her and I will kill his wife.” I groaned pressing my forehead with the heel of my hand.“That’s it!” I said, moving away from the glass and walked to enter the room where the bastard is being investigated.It took one week for me to get a chance of being in the investigation because of the hard officer in this city, but now even though the chance will be taken away with my interruption, I can’t stand back and listen to this crap.“He didn’t kill her! She killed two people. Actually was about to kill ten children, but he saved them.” I stated and nodded at the officer.“He is a drug addict and will keep on saying the words like a broken record. We have the complete acceptance of his crime and will send the tape of it by tomorrow. I don’t want anyone else to waste their time on this man. We had enough of this.” I added and glanced back to see the main officer walking into the room.“What is he still doing here? Yesterday I said he needs
*Swathi Pov*“What is all this?” I heard the question, but didn’t look back to see him and just continued to check whether everything is packed.“Like you asked, I am moving out. And like I said, I am doing it sooner.” I just replied and nodded to myself when I saw everything is properly packed even in a little time.“I didn’t mean it like that and why did you even think I am asking you to leave? I just asked you to pack and I will be doing the same. My job is over and we need not stay here anymore.” He explained and I sighed, turning around to stare at his confused face.“Why were we married?” I asked him and he frowned hearing my question.“To stop you from ruining my friend.” He replied when I didn’t utter another word.“Right! Why were we staying under a roof all these months?” I asked and this time he fisted his hands.“Because we wished to annul this marriage and we have to stay for six months to do it.” He replied but stepped into the room.“And I tried to sneak around along wi
*Swathi Pov*“What are you thinking?” I gave her a side glance, but continued to drive along with trying to control my thoughts.“About Job!” she replied in a whisper and I frowned.“Why? It is not like your first day.” I pointed out and turned the car reaching near the company.“It feels like that only. I don’t know how to behave and what should I do regarding the middle door. And also what should I… should I use to address him.” She continued and I didn’t have any words to say hearing all that.“Maha!” I mumbled, reaching the company and she got out, but I too not wishing for her to go inside without I say something to assure her.“Look, you were not wrong in any of this and you need to keep some control or even change yourself. Just do what you wish to and keep yourself happy.” I said and she gave a sad smile.“I wish to go near him and not leave his hand at all, even though if he pushes me. That is not a bright thing to do, right?” she asked and I shook my head.“Maybe not that!”
*Maheshwari Pov*“Mom! Dad!” Di said, looking at both of them and I too stared at them feeling worried.“What did we do?” Mom asked us and I wanted to tell her that it is not what they had done but how they are behaving.“We both are divorcees here and you are acting as if we are going to a date for the first time in our lives.” Di stated.“It is mine!” I whispered which she tactfully ignored, but stiffened hearing that.“With Dad giving away rules and regulations while you are giving away your worry. We both will be fine.” Saying that she held my hand and dragged me out of the house.“You never went on a date?” she asked the moment she started driving.“No!” I replied and waited for her to laugh.“I don’t believe you! I saw how crazy Nakul was for you and you guys must have gone somewhere for sure.” She said and I turned to stare at her.“With James coming with us every time?” I asked and she stiffened hearing his name but cleared her throat before giving a nod of understanding.“So,
*Swathi Pov*“What happened to him?” hearing the question I opened my eyes and removed my goggles to see her looking to her right.I followed the direction before realizing what she is looking at and smirked before covering my eyes again with goggles and leaned back enjoying the sun.“He is angry.” I replied as a matter of fast.“Yeah? I thought he is looking like he found a treasure. Did you both fought already? Today is just the second day of your honeymoon.” She pointed out.“Maybe he is mad because she is spending time with us instead of him.” Another voice pointed out from my left.“He only pushed three of us to go for a sun bath.” Tina pointed out from my right.“Yeah! And we even took her shopping yesterday evening like he asked.” Grandma said from my left.“That is actually one of the problems.” I finally said and immediately felt their gazes on me, after which I removed the goggles and stared at them.“He is partly angry because I bought only bikini’s and shorts. As I am only
*James Pov*“So, Nakul and Maha have not divorced?” this question actually surprised me because that is just not the matter I explained to her.“No! He hasn’t even come to the court.” I replied and she nodded with a blank expression.I moved my hand to push her hair back and immediately felt her jaw tightened when I touched her cheek. So, she is actually angry, but hiding it or trying to control it.“I can understand about that because he is the one who applied for an annulment and Maha asked Dad to do as per Nakul’s wish.” She mumbled to herself and then narrowed her eyes.“Dad knows about all this!” she stated and I nodded to which she shook her head.“What I don’t understand is, how are we not divorced when I was the one who filed for this and I also asked my lawyer to go ahead with it?” she asked looking at me and suddenly my worry about her reaction turned into anger.“Yeah! I saw how much you wanted to finish off this marriage.” I said, snorting and moved away to sit at the othe
*Maheshwari Pov*I groaned only to groan more feeling the pain in my head. I don’t know whether I can call it just pain or that something is hitting my head.Closing my eyes tightly I moved my hands to hold my head, but realized my hands were kind of not moving. I frowned and opened my eyes only to scream which immediately affected my pain.There is some person’s head before my eyes and then I remembered about getting ready for the date. But we didn’t walk into the restaurant right and we went to a club.Oh god! Did we return to the restaurant? I thought with a panic and tried to move away and with each effort the pain is increasing.And then suddenly I was released, making my mind go blank, but I can hear the voices. Then something was put in my hand when I was still closing my eyes and my hand was moved to reach my mouth.I was about to be drugged! I realized when a small tablet kind reached my lips because of which I immediately pushed away the hand from mine before throwing the ta
