I was ready in the bedroomfor an interview with the reporters. They wouldn’t get off my neck and I neededto tell them something --- something that will get them off my back. So, Iinvited one of them to answer my fans and curious citizen’s questions.“You will be fine,” Hemaassured me for the umpteenth time since I began this breathing exercise to calmmy palpitating heart. I took a last, long, deep breath before nodding andstepping out of the bedroom to meet the reporter in the living room. After hernormal quick questions session, I brazed up to answer the main question --- thereason we are here.“What do you have to sayabout your supposed son having a striking resemblance with our movie star,Siddharth Kaur?” she queried. I looked directly into the camera facing me andsmiled.“It’s just coincidence,”I spoke out with such confidence that I never knew I could muster. “My babybeing the carbon coRelated chapters
Where Dreams and Destiny Lies Chapter 79: They Are All Mad At Me
Nadia’s POVI walked into Veer’sliving room. I saw him seated on the couch facing the TV with his laptop on hislap. He glanced at me and looked away. My life is just a mess. Zeehan is nottalking to me and Veer is mad at me.I shuffled toward him,gripping my handbag as if releasing my pain into it. “Veer?” I called lowly.He ignored me, putting his laptop beside him and picking up his phone, faking ascroll through. “Can we talk, please?” I requested, already sobby. Everythingwas just hurting me. I was supposed to be a victim here, yet everyone sees meas the guilty one. Where did I go wrong in loving Sidd? It was all his fault,yet I am being blamed for every fucking thing. “Veer?!” I groaned out offrustration and he turned his cold eyes to me.“What do you want, huh?”he snapped, standing up. I took two steps back from him. “You betrayed me,don’t you know that? You have been lying to me. You kept your baby away from

Nadia’s POVZeehan still wasn’ttalking to me. It was more than heartbreaking when he chose to sleep in Hema’sroom. What did I do to deserve that? I have never slept at home without my babybeside me. Looking at the space beside me, my heart shredded intomillions of pieces. It felt like I lost a part of me with my child not talking tome. I have cried to the point of crying blood now, yet nothing changed. Thepain was there, the guilt, and the remorse.I stood up feebly fromthe bed, my head throbbing, my heart pounding like a hammer hitting myribcage, and my whole body numbed of strength. I couldn’t eat well. Hema’spersuasion couldn’t get anything positive into me. Now I feel thirsty andheaded to the kitchen to get a glass of water. Shuffling to the kitchen, a lowgasp escaped my lips upon coming across Hema in the living room. She wasn’twatching her program as usual, she was just seated with arms crossed overher ch

Nadia’s POVI already gave up whenthe clock ticked to 5:30 PM. Veer won’t show up, I know, but I kept watch onthe time. I so much wished he would come. I needed someone to present to Zeehanas his father, that was the only way I would be free from his sulkiness. Lostin thought, a knock on the door drew me out of my trance. Is Hema back so soon?She told me she would go get some groceries from the grocery store. I stood upto go get the door. “Welcome back,” I saidwithout even glancing at the visitor and I turned back to the living room.“Thank you,” hearing thehusky male voice, I pivoted instantly to look at the person. Veer. Happiness crept into myheart when I saw him. Tears filled the brink of my eyes and I threw my weightat him, not minding if he was still angry with me or not. His presence wouldsave my new happy relationship with Zeehan. He wrapped his warm arms around mytorso, giving me all the comfort I

Ria’s POVSince Zeehan appeared, Ihave been restless. With my finger over my lips, I moved aimlessly across myroom, thinking of the possibility of Zeehan being Sidd’s son. If he is, then myplan of getting Sidd back would be slim. I stopped pacing back and forth when myphone started ringing. I looked over the vanity table where my phone was anddiscovered the caller was Upma. Why is she calling me? I ignored the call but Icouldn’t engage with my thoughts anymore as she kept calling. I gritted myteeth, ready to bash her off the phone.“What is it? Why are youbugging me?” I snapped.“Why are you always hot-tempered?” she retorted nonchalantly.“If you don’t haveanything serious to say, get the fuck off my phone,” I rebuked but before Icould hang up, her voice came in.“Guess who I just saw atthe bookstore?” she asked.“I’m not up for yoursilly guessing game. Who did you see?” I queried, my voice still lo

Ria’s POVAfter getting Mrs Mahavir’s number from Upma, I put a call across to her.“Hello, Mrs. Mahavir,” I said rather cocky. We have a history together. She owes me her son’s life for paying for his surgery a few years ago.“Hello, Miss Ria. I am glad you remembered me today,” she expressed over the phone.“Well, can you blame me? Work has been hectic these days,” I said.“Yeah, I can understand. How do you do now?”“I’m okay. And your son?” I reciprocated.“He is fine. Thanks for asking.”“I want you to do me a favor,” I said with all the seriousness in my voice. “Can you do it?”“I can do anything for you, Miss Ria,” she accepted.“I want you to get me a strand of Zeehan’s hair,” I let out without any form of hiding.“What? Why?” she exclaimed.“You are going to do it, aren’t you? Remember you owe me your son’s life.”“Y-yeah, s-sure, I will d-do it,” she stuttered and a full grin appeared on my face.“Alright then, I will

We weresimply ambling hand in hand down the street. His warm hand seems to build tension in my body. I constantly glanced at him while he tried his best to keepme company with funny jokes.“You are going to make meroll in the aisle, Veer,” I laughed heartily. If only my life was perfect, Ibet it would have been as sweet as it is now with Sidd. “I’m telling you thetruth. From that day onward, I stopped watching horror movies. I made it knownto everyone that I hate horror movies,” he said and I continued laughing. “Comeon now, you need to rest,” he added.“Why?

Pari’s POVFinally, the sun pouredits shaft on my face and the chirping of morning birds streamed into my ears. Istretched on the bed with my eyes still closed. Last night was just an odd longnight. My head was still heavy with a dull pain. It felt as if I didn’t sleepat all. I held my head, sitting up on the bed then began massaging my temple.“What kind of pain isthis?” I hissed, feeling uncomfortable down there. It felt like my thighs wereseparated and an agitated pain made a wave throughout my core. Opening my eyesfully, I gasped. “Where are my clothes?” I grumbled to myself, pulling thebedclothes over my chest. I was practically naked. How?“Hope I made your night,”a hushed tone sounded beside me and pivoting my head in the direction, anothergasp escaped my lips. Jaiden?
