I got up early in the morning with a smile on my face. Today is Arnika's birthday.
I didn't wish her till now as I have different plans for her.
I quickly did my morning chores and went to my gym to do some workout.
After finishing my workout, I took shower and got dressed.
I went downstairs to see Papa sitting with a newspaper in his hand in the dining room.
"Good morning, Papa." I said sitting beside him.
"Good morning...hmm,somebody has taken efforts to impress someone ...I see." Papa said, winking at me.
I narrowed my eyes playfully at him and Papa chuckled.
We had our breakfast together.
I went towards the kitchen and told our cook's name what she has to cook.

Shaurya's pov " I am done for today." I sighed and shut down my laptop.I relaxed on my seat and looked towards Arnika's cabin to see her wrapping up her things.I also got up and packed my things up.Then I heard a knock at my door."Come in,Arnika." I said as I know she will meet me before leaving."Done?" She asked as soon as she came."Yes..let's go.I am dropping you today." I said.She was about to argue ,I raised my eyebrows to make her stop. She sighed and nodded helplessly. I smirked in victory.We both left our office and went towards the parking. Papa has already left an hour before .We settled down and drove towards her house.After half an hour ,we reached."Thank you for the ride...c

Arnika's pov As soon as she left ,I sat on my bed with a thud.No no no....this can't happen. Shaurya can never say anything like this to Shweta.Then tell me why will Shweta lie to you? You guys don't have any personal grudges....in fact she asked for your forgiveness, why will she lie to you? My mind asked me.Maybe because she wanted to torment me as she doesn't like me much whose reason I don't know...my heart said.If so then why will she ask for your forgiveness? She isn't someone who will throw her ego and kneel down infront of someone. My mind reasoned.But Shaurya...he can't do that,his care has always been very genuine...I didn't find any act of sympathy in his care...my heart said.How can you say this with this much guara

I will resign from the job .

Lusting after her student who is of his daughter's age . The teacher whom we think to show respect, if he does something like this ,what should we do then?And her husband...just don't start. He is the biggest asshole who didn't trust his wife. Just one day and one lie...it was enough for him to think that his wife cheated on him.Her parents are also very weird. They didn't believe their own child but believed on Son in law and outsiders.I looked at Arnika to see her looking at me curiously."What happened to that Kolhapure atlast?" I asked catching her off guard. Then she smirked."After our divorce I took my luggage and left th
