Zeehan 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 chRelated chapters

His presence wouldsave my new happy relationship with Zeehan. He wrapped his warm arms around mytorso, giving me all the comfort I
Where Dreams and Destiny Lies Chapter 82: Zeehan's Tutor?
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

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?

It felt like my thighs wereseparated and an agitated pain made a wave throughout my core.
