"Riya's point of view,"
"Riya, why are you here so late at night? Is everything okay?" As soon as I walked inside Ankur's flat, he began asking me a series of probing questions in a frightened tone of voice."Yes, I'm alright;you don't need to be so concerned," I responded, hoping to ease some of his anxiety."You don't have to lie to me; I don't judge you, so you can tell me whatever's on your mind." He was presumably aware of my perplexity."I met Harsh on my way back to my hotel after meeting you.""What?" Even before I told him everything, he gazed at me with amazement."He is married and the father of a three-year-old child.""What are you talking about?" The way he was staring at me in awe after hearing what I had to say, I was afraid he was going to pass out from shock."It means... ,"he pondered with his hand on his chin."It means Harsh got married right after I left, and he entirely forgot about me. How can he do this to me?" Fo"Riya's point of view,""I desperately want Harsh back in my life; please do whatever you can to make that happen. I can't live without him." I'm not sure what happened to me so suddenly, and I can't hold back my tears."Ankur, please beg him to return to my life; his concern for me, his love for me, these sentiments remind me of him. Please tell him he can be upset with me if he wants to, but please don't leave me alone like this."After hearing my sobbing, he tried to soothe me down by saying, "Riya, calm down. You're harming your health by crying like this.""I'm not pleased to see him with someone else; how could he marry anyone other than me?" He offered me his shoulder, saying nothing to me when I couldn't keep quiet despite his continual consoling. I didn't lift my head from his shoulder until all of my tears had dried up."Let's go, relax," he said as soon as I stopped crying. He took my hand in his and led me back to his flat. I was nervous about st
"Riya's point of view,"'My business deal with Allen Industries has been signed,' I've left the premises, and I've texted Ankur.In response to my message, Ankur offered a fresh question: 'What are your plans for tonight?''I'm not planning anything; I'll just sit in my hotel room and watch cartoons.'He might not believe me after reading my messages, so instead of messaging me this time, he called me."Does Rachit have such an impact on your life that it's made you lose your senses?" He asked, annoyed, as soon as I answered the phone."No, there is no such thing; I signed this deal because of Mr. Joseph, not because of him." In the name of Rachit, how can he make fun of me like this? He know full well that I dislike him."Don't be offended; I was only joking. Tell me what you have planned for this evening," he said, his tone serious."Did you not read the message, as I informed you?" He was annoying me by repeatedly asking me the same questio
"Riya's point of view,"When I returning to my table from the restroom, I noticed a kid standing by the pool near the next dining area. It scared me if that child would fall into the pool because he was crying nonstop. There was no one around to stop that child from moving toward the pool, so I moved my steps towards him and prevented him from falling into the pool, but this is the same child that I saw with Harsh earlier in the day.Oh my God, if I don't get there in time and save him, then... my heart was racing, thinking about the consequences of not getting there in time."Why are you crying so much?" I inquired after witnessing the child's constant crying.With sobs, he replied, "My daddy is lost somewhere.""If you stop sobbing, I'll assist you in finding those guys." I wiped the tears from the boy's cheek and, grabbing his hand, began searching for Harsh among the diners."What's your name, by the way?" I inquired as to the child's name. He's ext
"Riya's point of view,""Can I be sure that this is your cousin, since, based on his acts, I believe he is a maniac who has escaped from the asylum?" I approached Ankur, who was seated in the club and inquired furiously.Rahul listened to me with a bowed head."Riya, what happened? And why are you so enraged?" Ankur looked at me, surprised, and inquired."Why are you asking me this question when you could ask your obnoxious cousin?" I was becoming increasingly enraged, but it wasn't because of Rahul alone; rather, it was because of the Harsh. After seeing him with his family, I'm becoming increasingly enraged. I understand that whatever happened between us was not his wife's fault, but I can't help but be envious of his wife."I did nothing but go look for Riya." Rahul spoke with a frightened tone."Please, Rahul, keep your mouth shut.""Although I informed you I disliked your cousin, I consented to be friends with him on your recommendation. But I
"Riya's point of view,"In the parking lot outside Alan Industrie's office building, Dinesh greeted me and waited for me as usual.With a confident look on my face, I said, "Good morning, Dinesh.""This way, Madam."When he guides me in this manner, I get annoyed, but I keep my cool every time."Is Mr. Khurana here?""Yes, madam, he's in the conference room with your team discussing the plant's installation.""Rachit Khurana arrived on time. Wow, I was stunned," I mumbled in a sluggish voice.As I entered the meeting hall, I remarked, "Good morning, everyone.""Good morning, madam;" my team arrived from America last night to work; fatigue was clear on their faces due to travel; Mrs. Rosy and Mr. Johnson appeared to need rest."Dinesh, will you help me a little?" He looked at me as if I had asked him to go on a date after hearing my pleading tone."Sure Madam," He responded, trying to mask his surprise as he realized his professi
"Riya's point of view,""Should I drop you off at your hotel, Riya?" I was ready to leave the office when Rachit stopped me; didn't he know I have my car, and how dare he?"Mr. Khurana, I have my car, and I will not take you up on your offer to meet me outside of the office." I'm annoyed by his shenanigans, "I don't appreciate your concern at all."He thinks he can re-enter my life by using his old tricks and does he think I'm so stupid? Maybe that's why he keeps doing the same things with me he used to do."Okay, in that case, give me a lift to my place," he says as he walks over to my car."What is your problem? Why are you bothering me so much? I've informed you I'm no longer interested in you, so why are you chasing me?""My car's tire is punctured, which is why I'm asking for a ride," he explained, pointing to his car's tire.So you think I'm an idiot, Rachit?"There's always a spare tire in the car, so change your car tire and head home.
"Riya's point of view,""What have you learned about me from Harsh?" I returned my gaze to his wife and inquired."That you are his girlfriend," she said casually.Is she unaware of the concept of a girlfriend? How can she say this so casually? Is she not envious of me?"I'm no longer his girlfriend, as I once was." I said in reverent whispers. Because of my presence, I don't want there to be any problems between him and his wife. But a part of me still wishes that he would return to my life and that everything between us would be as it was before. But I know well that this is no longer possible."Does this mean he's your ex, Riya?" Rahul inquired, his eyes widening in amazement."Do you have any problems?" Harsh asked before I could respond to him.What is going on with me? I came here to see a movie, so why are all these people needed to make my life a drama?"Riya, keep away from this dude and accompany me to a movie." Rahul snatched my wri
"Riya's point of view,""How did I end up here?" When I opened my eyes the next morning, I was in my hotel room. Last night, I was at a bar."I'm the one who brought you here." What exactly is Rahul doing in my room? Somewhere last night, in a state of intoxication, I did not commit any mistakes again.I peeped inside the blanket covering my body. Finally, seeing my clothes on, I breathed a sigh of relief.He asked, lifting a glass of lemon water towards me, "Riya, how can you cause yourself so much grief because of a man?"There was a solemn expression on his face. He wasn't speaking to me in his normal jocular manner; instead, he sounded intense, as if he were ready to complete a business deal."How did you end up in my room?" I posed my inquiry by refusing to respond to him."Ankur gave me your hotel's address." He replied in hushed tones. After all, why is he so upset? Have I done something wrong with him while inebriated?"But, so far, wh
"Riya's point of view,""Riya, why are you wasting so much time getting ready today? Poor Harsh, have been waiting for you for so long." Sheetal walked up to me and said,"Because my wedding is today, I had to get ready for it, including applying my makeup." I responded as I adjusted my earrings. "Riya, I think you look stunning today. May God keep the evil eye away from you." Sheetal slipped a small dot of kajal behind my ear and murmured, picking up the kajal from the dressing table. "Now that Harsh has already committed theft, no one even dares to steal Riya from him. Am I correct, Riya?" As he walked inside the room, Rahul said. "I promised Harsh that he would be the first to see me dressed as the bride, so why are you still standing here? Get out of here." I responded while covering my face with my hands. "Riya, you did not accept my proposal; at the very least, you should have given me this right." I listened to him and could not stop giggling. "You no longer playfully fli
"Harsh's point of view,""Harsh, what exactly are you doing here?" Seeing me here, Riya is the most surprised person in the room. "I'm here to dispel some myths around Rachit." I responded while seated in the conference room's empty chair. "What do you mean?" When I noticed Rachit's confused countenance, I felt a great sense of relief. But aside from Rachit, everyone on the board was staring at me in shock. And from the way Riya was gazing at me with her curious eyes, she was not even blinking. "I'm going to call security right away to get you out of here because you may not meddle in our company's affairs in this manner." He gave me an evil-eyed stare. Because of listening to him, I was not in the smallest bit furious at all—because if he knows the truth; it doomed all of his hopes and aspirations to fail. After hearing what he said, I remained silently observing the situation in front of me without responding. "Harsh, please explain to me why you are here." Riya was becoming mo
"Riya's point of view,""How dare Rachit talk crap about you? Where are you driving me? I'll just show him what I mean." I was finding it very challenging to take Harsh to the hospital. I would not have brought Harsh to this party if I had known that he would respond to Rachit's remarks in this manner. "Enough is enough; you are now silently accompanying me to the hospital, and I will not put up with any more of your nonsense." I glared sternly at Harsh. He had just left the hospital a few days prior, and in this circumstance, seeing the injuries on his hand, I was concerned about him. He was gushing blood from his hand. As a result, his body was already running low on blood, and he didn't need to waste any more of it by spitting it out in fury. After all, whatever is taking place, I did everything to save his life, so how will it work if he continues to endanger his life in this manner? "Riya, why are you crying now?"Although Harsh and Rachit's argument causes my ire, Harsh's
"Riya's point of view,""Riya, are you certain you're attending Rachit's party?" When Harsh saw me getting ready for the party, it startled him to see me at all. I said, applying eyeliner to my eyelids. "Yes, of course." "How are you going to handle that man in such a civilized manner? Have you forgotten what he did to you?"I know he has cause for anger, but I must still work to make sure that he does not mistrust me by following his instructions to carry out my plan."Harsh, I remember everything and have forgotten nothing, but it is improper to be personal while conducting business. I also had to go to his party because I am his business partner." I said, finishing up my makeup. "Well, if that's the case, I'll accompany you, so you won't have to go alone to that party. Beyond this, you won't challenge my choice because it is definitive." He announced the outcome while collecting his tuxedo from his wardrobe. "Do you not feel that you are dominating too much?" I asked, raising m
"Rachit's point of view,""Welcome, Riya. All I did was wait for you." As soon as she walks into the meeting room, she immediately creates positive energy in the room. The scent of fresh roses might ease any person's exhaustion emanating from their bodies. "What type of urgency has arisen for you, Rachit, that you wanted me to be here so quickly?" She fixed her piercing eyes on me. I wanted to tease her further when I saw how angry she was and had a crimson face. My choice was perfect, but I was unfortunate in that I could not understand her love. I'm still incredibly remorseful about the time I broke Riya's heart. Maybe today Riya and I would be together, and my child would also be here if I hadn't married Shilpi to protect the family business. But all I can do is regret it. Riya has lived her life with Harsh rather than me. I did all in my power to get her back in my life, but I can no longer see the love that I once saw in her eyes. The only girl in my life who turned down Rac
"Riya's point of view,""Riya, I miss you." He said, holding me in his arms as soon as I got in front of him. "I could not bear to be apart from you." My arms went around him with the same force as his. "Have you taken your medication yet?" I asked while keeping my head in his chest. "Yes." He responded in a quiet voice. After hearing his low voice, I knew he had lied to me. "I am aware of how negligent you are of your health."I remarked while slapping his shoulder. "Sorry, I forgot to take the medicine." When I saw how freely he was smiling, I realized that he still had many of the same habits. "If you made a mistake and are still laughing about it from on high, it's time for you to take some medicine." I said in a commanding voice. "Riya, you must learn to treat me with respect since I am your future husband and not an employee of your company." He answered by pouting like a child. I pulled his cheeks and whispered, "I wish you were one of my employees." "I'd rather not wor
"Riya's point of view,""Please pardon me. Riya, I erred when I stole your dream project from you." In front of me, Rachit is pleading with his hands folded. "Take this: I'm returning all of your company's shares to you." I was going to reclaim the file from his hands that held the shares of my company when I suddenly heard a strange voice in my head. What's the volume of the noise surrounding me? And the noise is only getting louder. What makes this sound so familiar to me, though? Oh shit, I just realized that this is the sound of my mobile phone's irritating alarm clock. I must have dreamt then.And do you believe Rachit will return to your dream project? In a straightforward manner, was it genuinely able to do so? It is only imaginable in dreams. I was being ridiculed by my subconscious for believing my dream to be true. Even though I know well that Rachit will not, under any circumstances, return the shares of my company to me, I still don't understand why there is still some
"Riya's point of view,""Harsh, what are you referring to?" After hearing him, I had an odd impression that he had some sort of plan going through his mind. But what? I must be aware. "Riya, please refrain from posing questions to me. I will tackle whatever needs to be done right away in my style." He had a certain level of determination in his voice. What's going on in his head, though? He has recently become more serious than ever. I've always seen him in a jovial mood, so I was afraid to see him with so many serious looks. "Kindly explain what you're talking about. If you're are not telling the truth about me, I believe they shall soon see me laying by your side on an empty hospital bed." "Oh, Riya, you are being such a jerk." He refuses to tell me what is going through his thoughts even after I have repeatedly asked him to do so, and even then he accuses me of being impatient. "Okay, Harsh, if you believe that, then I will tell you I will not ask questions now; you take care
"Riya's point of view,""Riya Why are you staying quiet? Please respond to my question." I'm not sure what I should say to Harsh, who is sitting in front of me. How can I inform him about the condition Rachit has imposed on me in exchange for his blood? I might even tell Harsh about the first condition, but how can I tell him about the second condition he's put in front of me? However, this moron detective informed Harsh that I had gone to a hotel room to meet Rachit while inebriated? Even when I walked out of that hotel room, I was in dire straits. Will Harsh believe me if I tell him the truth? Will he believe me if I tell him that nothing like this happened between us in the hotel's locked room that night? At any cost, I don't want to lose him again. However, I'm concerned that if I tell Harsh about the deal I signed with Rachit, he'll abandon me. "Riya, you're making me angry now. I've been pleading with you to tell me the truth and not keep anything from me, but you refuse to
