After reassuring Siyathat I would be fine by tomorrow, I headed out. Reaching the foyer, Ria camealong. I was disgruntled by her presence.“Aww! Our crying baby!”she mimicked a funny voice and I furrowed my eyebrows at her. “It seems our littlephoenix has lost its wings. How do you fly now?” she mocked. I chuckled till itturned into a hard laugh. She looked behind her to see what I was laughing at.“What is funny?” she finally asked and I straightened my face.“What do you think isfunny, Ria? When life breaks our wings, we must learn to use our minds andhearts to fly. And once a bird has learned how to fly, it will forever havewings that can’t be broken,” I quoted. “It seems hotheads like you don’tunderstand the meaning of falling weak and rising stronger. Tsk. You mightflatter yourself to be Italic, but I’m striking. Watch me reach the sky andcolor it like a rainbow and twinkle at night like the starRelated chapters

Hewalked closer with a beaming smile.“Hi, Nadia. How was yournight?” he asked. We began walking together.“It was peaceful. Thanksfor giving me a lift yesterday. I honestly appreciate it,” I said to him and hestopped, staring into my eyes. I quickly cleared my throat and looked away.“It’s a pleasure having apretty woman grace the seat of my car. What if I decide to ride you home todayalso?” he stated and I smiled. We began walking to the others.Sidd’s POVThat son of a gun. Whatdoes he think he is doing with Nadia?

Nadia’s POVI took Veer’s side tomake Sidd even more jealous. But truth be told, I am slowly giving up on Sidd.The anger I feel for him now is taking over the feelings I once had for him. Iled Veer to one of the rooms to check his punched face. I sat him down on astand while I inspected the bruises. His temple had blood trailing down to hischeek and his lower lip was broken. He simply stared at me, not uttering aword. His charming eyes, piercing around my face, made me shiver. I went to geta heating pad. I returned and met him in the position I left him. He looked atme as I walked down to him. He seems to enjoy the fact that I’m furious withSidd. Could he be taking advantage? If he is, then we are both taking advantageof each other because I am using him to make Sidd jealous and whatever his reasonis, it shouldn’t bother me. I crouched in his front, pressing the pad on hisbroken lip.“I’m sorry,” I saidlowly.

I sipped my drink and placed the cup on the coffee table beforecalling Veer.“Hello?” I spoke softlyinto the phone.“I thought you hadforgotten me,” he threw the words at me from the other end. I chuckledslightly.“I think we should bothbe accusing each other because you didn’t call to,” I retorted and he laughed.“How have you been, brother?” I asked, cheerfully.“Always busy. You?” hesaid.“I’m good. I just missedyour voice so much and I decided to hear it.”“I missed you too, sis.But don’t worry, I will be coming over this weekend.

Nadia’s POVAt night after I reachedhome, the thought of me never going back to act again was still stuck in myhead. I lay faced up on the bed, deeply in thought. I couldn’t sleep. So far, Ihave loved acting. Though my chance was just to take the ballet dancer’s roleand it ends there, nothing more. But after working so hard with my training undergoing pressure and succeeding, I still wish to act more. I stepped down fromthe bed, put on my slippers, and headed out, carefully opening the door not towake Zeehan up. I went into the kitchen to get water. I opened the refrigeratorand took out a bottle of water. I poured half a glass cup and drank from it.Placing the cup on the breakfast bar, I was lost in thought again, staring intospace.“Can’t sleep?” Hema’swords startled me and I vibrated a little before facing her. “Sorry, I startled you,”she added, walking up to me.“No, it’s fine. You can’tsleep too?” I ask

Sidd’s POVI dressed up in a blue dress shirt with rolled-up sleeves and two buttons undone, revealing my perfect, well-muscled chest. I love showing them off most time. I smoothed my hair back by running my fingers through them and I wore my black sunshade. I tilted my head in front of the mirror, smiling in pride. “Ready to catch some attention today,” I said and chuckled. I picked up my phone from the bed and headed out. Descending the staircase, my mom was seated on the couch in the living room, directly facing the staircase as if she were waiting for me to show up. I stood on the staircase, looking suspiciously at her for a minute.“Aren’t you going to come down anymore?” her tightened voice reached me. I rolled my eyes and went down to her. “Good morning, Mother,” I greeted.“Seriously speaking, Sidd. What is your problem? Why have you suddenly decided not to get married to Ria?” she queried. I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair again. I just hope

I reached home and sawHema pacing back and forth in the living room. She stopped and turned those pissedeyes on me. She strode to me and grabbed my wrist, pulling be back to thecenter of the living room.“Is anything the matter?”I queried nonchalantly as she freed my hand. Mr Baldev must have called her.“What did you tell MrBaldev?” she demanded. I haven’t seen her in such a pissed mood before. Hereyelashes twitched as she spoke. I dump my bag on thecouch. “I can’t, Hema,” I declared, shaking my head.“What can’t you?” sheyelled. “How can you reject a role because of Sidd?” she asked, calming hervoice. She moved closer to me, staring right into my eyes. “You have to,Nadia.”“I can’t, I just can’t,”I adamantly let out, moving away from her. “It’s not just about filmingtogether. There’s going to be hugging and kissing. I don’t want to get close toSidd in that way. It’s going to sprout old feelings a
