Samaira
******
They say mirrors gives true image of a person, but it's a lie. They don't show you what's inside.
She is staring back at me looking all elegant and beautiful yet dead inside. My reflection in the mirror is the perfect example of a dead soul dolled up in a beautiful bridal attire.
I didn't know a day like this will ever come into my life. We consider every storm to be the worst until the real storm comes. I was never a good judge of people but was definitely naive that didn't notice the people on whom I used to rely will betray me. Everyone was wearing a mask but it had to fell eventually revealing their true selves. People whom I trusted betrayed me and the ones who were strangers stood by my side.
All the events of past weeks started flooding into my mind. I wish I could just shut them in a box and threw them in the vast ocean so that no one could find it. But we can't run away from fate. What could I have possibly done to deserve a
Samaira******Samaira's POVWhen I was a kid I used to think what kind of pain the birds in a cage feel. But now I know. They feel suffocated. Even after having wings they can't do anything. This pain is unbearable, 'the pain of having wings and not able to fly'.Our marriage was kept hidden, hidden from the world. Only few relatives were invited that too only because they were aware of Ishaan bhai's marriage. They were shocked to know that I was getting married too. I don't know how but Namit managed to keep this hidden from paparazzis. I guess he doesn't want the world to know he got married, afterall I am no more than a deal for him.After the ceremonies we took everyone's blessings, now I had to leave my family behind to go to live with the devil.I don't feel sad leaving them behind. There is only one feeling left, feeling of being betrayed.Adya was bidding goodbye to her family members. My heart clenched at the sight as I don't share that bon
Samaira******One week ended in a blink of eye. I will have to leave for London tomorrow. Naveen uncle, I mean Naveen dad didn't want me to go alone, but I convinced him that I will be fine.My own family tried to contact me several times but I neither received their calls nor I went to meet them. Three days ago, Ishaan bhai came to meet me but I locked myself in my room and didn't open till he went back.I didn't want to get weak and seeing them will not make me any strong. I will have to live with Namit in the same house alone. Will he behave nicely with me? But there will be no one so why will he behave nicely. I mean his concern is only for show off.But he did behave nicely when we were alone in the same room. He could have done anything on our first night but he didn't. Ah! My mind will explode will all these thoughts.I sat on the bed and started rubbing my temples because of the headache. I closed my eyes and rested my head on the h
Samaira******Arjun was constantly cracking jokes, making me laugh."Looks like your husband is getting jealous." he said."You must be mistaken because he can't be jealous of someone who is a mere deal for him.""You are oblivious of so many facts." he muttered."What?""Nothing." he said."By the way what do you guys are here for? Weren't you both supposed to be in London?" I asked curiously."He came to take you and I just accompanied him." he replied.His reply was casual as if it was not a big deal to travel 6,693 km only to take me.Wait! Did he just say he came for me."He came for me?""who else is his wife? He definitely came for you only.""Stop lying Arjun. He is your friend and I know you are just defending him.""Look Sammy, the thing he did was not right okay. But I can't ignore the reason behind it.""What reason? You talked about that reason in the garden
Samaira******"Aren't you done yet?" asked Arjun."Just one more item." I said and picked the last item which was on my list.I took the items to the cashier and when I was about to pay Arjun gave his card to the cashier. I gave him a warning look but it didn't work."Don't give me that look Mrs.khanna, you are my friend and I can't let my friend pay."I sighed in defeat because I knew he won't take a no for an answer. But I will pay him back.I collected the items from the counter and we went out of the store towards Arjun's car."what's going on?" he asked as soon as we got into the car."What do you mean?""Your husband is working tirelessly since you came, I mean he loves to work but he is overworking and tiring himself and you are buying some weird stuffs. So the real question is what's up with you both actually?" he asked."My so called husband is ignoring me. I thought to talk to him but I don't eve
Namit******No, no, no this can't be happening. Shit! How could I be that careless? I shouldn't have ignored her.Is she fine? Did someone kidnap her? What if he took her?NO!I bought this mansion only to keep her safe and I am sure he doesn't know yet. He can't take her away from me.I shouldn't be thinking like this. I will have to find her before anything happens. I should have paid attention to her. I shouldn't have behaved like a jerk. The thoughts of her not being safe was killing me.As soon as I came home I went to Sama's room but it was empty. I checked every possible room where she could be but she was nowhere to be found. It's 5 in the morning and she can't be in my room for sure. I called Mark and asked him to check the CCTV footage.Please be safe Sama. PLEASE!I was pacing in the living room back and forth when Mark came there with his laptop."Sir, I think you need to see this."I saw the f
Samaira******I walked into Namit's room to call him for lunch but he was not there.I looked around and found the door of the balcony was open and I was sure I will find him there. How should I face him after that kiss we shared?How about I call him instead of going there myself, I will not have to face him that way. But Mark told me Namit's phone was switched off. I didn't have to face him if Christina was here. Why did she have to go?Take a deep breath Samaira and act as nothing happened, I told my self.Thank god I don't stay with him in the same room.What has happened to my brain? Last night I was thinking to talk to him to treat me as a wife and now I am feeling awkward after kissing him.Wives do kiss their husbands, right?As I was about to go into the balcony he came into the room. Our eyes met and none of us uttered a word. The situation was awkward. I moved my gaze away from him and I saw him rubbing the b
Samaira******"Head of the Marketing Department ?" he asked me."No.""How about Managing Director?""What?No!""CEO?""Namit are you crazy?""It's Managing Director then," he said. No, please not again."Can you for once think rationally?""But Samaira I am thinking rationally.""No, you are not."As soon as I woke up in the morning I told Namit about the interviews I have applied for which I was about to tell him yesterday night but couldn't. He didn't like the idea of me working somewhere else because of my safety. He is still scared that someone might harm me as he doesn't know who threatened dad. I told him that the threats could be a prank too but he didn't seem convinced. He asked me to work in his company for 3 months and I reluctantly agreed. He said I can work anywhere I want after 3 months because till then he will find out the culprit.But the problem is he is not ready to accept
Dhruv******Alex Walter.Only his name is enough to make my blood boil. He is the one who destroyed my life. He ruined everything. He was the one who killed my parents, made me an orphan and took away my sister from me. We were one happy family back then, dad, mom, me and my little sister. I still have those memories.******FLASHBACK******"Dhruv, did you break the vase?" asked my mom."yes," I replied looking at the ground."Since you are the culprit you will get punished.""No, Duv didn't bake it." here comes my rescuer, my sister Dhriti."Dhriti, don't try to save your brother." and Dhriti pouted.Dhriti and I were twins but we were not identical because we were dizygotic twins(non-identical twins).Dad and mom loved us both the same but Dhriti loved me more. We were inseparable. Wherever I go she clings to me like a koala."Dhriti what are you doing?" asked my mom as she saw her
Dhriti/Samaira******"Stop panicking, di.""I can't Simmi. Guests have started to come and I have to go down in half an hour but my dress is not here yet." I said pacing around in the dressing room of the reception hall."Chill Sammy, Your dress will be here in no time. And it's your reception so you can go late. There is no worry." said Adya trying to calm me down."I hope they deliver my dress soon.""They will Sammy Di. Here, drink this juice and calm your nerves." Sonia handed me a glass of juice. I drank the whole glass of it but was still not able to pacify myself."Mrs. Khanna, calm down, otherwise if your husband will get to know that your panic mode is on, he will even cancel the reception," I couldn't agree more with Aditi as she was right. But I had managed to not let that news reach my husband."I know Ady, and that's what I am worried about more."Namit's dress arrived in the morning and mine didn't. I was
Dhriti/Samaira******"Sama, love, are you ready?" Namit asked, coming inside the room."Namit, I don't know what to wear." He chuckled looking at my puzzled state and chose clothes for me.I smiled inwardly thinking that I tricked him again into choosing my clothes. As whenever I had to look good for Namit, I would act like I am confused and my sweet husband would help me by choosing for me. That was the secret he wasn't aware of."Baby, you know you don't have to act. I can choose your clothes daily and I would love to do that." He said, smiling sheepishly at me.My eyes widened at his statement. Feeling embarrassed I covered my face with my palms.I had presumed my truth was hidden but I was wrong.Chuckling, he came towards me and pulled me in his embrace."How did you find out?" I asked, still hugging him."Well, I heard it when you were talking to Adya last night.""I am sorry." I apologized for being
Namit******Listening to her melodic voice while she was wrapped in my arms, that's what heaven feels like.After that fight, I wanted peace and here she is, my peace with me, laying her head on my chest while I was half laying on the bed and my little wifey is humming a song playing with my fingers at the same time.I had no idea what she was trying to do, but she seemed so cute pressing my fingers and kissing them."What are you doing love?" My curiosity made me ask that question from her."Easing your pain," she replied while she was too busy with my fingers."Easing my pain?""Hmmm." She replied leaving lots of kisses on them. Turning her towards me, I looked into her eyes which seemed sad. Caressing her cheeks with my thumb I asked,"What happened?""Nothing," she replied not meeting my gaze but I again made her look at me."Say it," I demanded."I was scared, thinking what would have happened
Namit********FLASHBACK[FEW HOURS AGO]********The paparazzi were there as they were informed by Kiaan about me and Sama's arrival from Greece. It was necessary to take Alex out of his shell.After coming out of the airport, we saw Kiaan already waiting for us in the car disguising himself as a driver. We stepped into the car along with Xavier and then Sama asked the most awaited question, "What's going on? Is there any change in plan?""Just this media thing was the only change in plan, sister," replied Kiaan. Kiaan stopped the car in front of the restaurant and I, Sama and Xavier went inside leaving Kiaan in the car itself.Arjun and Dhruv were there in the restaurant disguising themselves as others.I made Sama eat something at the restaurant and then after 15 minutes it was time for the next part of the plan. Sama knew what she had to do so she got up and rushed towards the washroom. The CCTVs were already managed by Dhru
Samaira/Dhriti******I was shocked to see the same old man talking with Namit whom I helped once crossing the road the day I took Namit on a date. Namit introduced him as Mr.Oleg Kozlov, grandfather's friend and the founder of 5 Ace Group.Whenever I heard of him I used to think he would be having an intimidating personality, but I was so wrong. His personality was anything but intimidating, his jovial nature made me surprised. When I told Namit he was the same man I met on the day of our date he too got shocked as he was unaware of him being in London at that time."You are so funny," I said laughing at a joke passed by Kozlov grandpa."That I am, young lady.""You guys look like you know each other from ages," commented Namit."Of course we know each other for ages. She grew up in front of me until that fateful incident." grandpa replied. He became sad at the last part and me too. He told me I have got aquaphobia because I was near
Samaira/Dhriti******I sighed looking at the pile of clothes that were lying on the bed."Sama, are you..." he was trying to ask whether I was ready or not but stopped in mid as his question was answered by the pile of clothes that were scattered around."Namit, I don't know what to wear. Help me, please." I whined making puppy eyes."You look great in everything, love.""I am serious.""And I am batman," he said laughing at his joke."It was not funny.""Ok, ok. Tell me what's wrong with these clothes?""I don't know. I am just confused.""Let me clear your confusion". He took out some decent clothes from the pile and gave it to me saying that they will look nice on me and my plan was successful. I wanted to look good for Namit but was so confused to decide what to wear so I took time in getting ready as I knew when he will come looking for me then surely will help me choosing what to wear.Grinnin
Namit******"Namit, I am fine.""No, you are not." She pouted hearing me and while chuckling at her cute antics I picked her up in my arms.Sama was hungry and wanted to cook something as she knows I don't know much about cooking but after tiring her with our lovemaking session I didn't want her to do anything, so I decided to cook for her with her guidance."You know I have legs too," she said moving her legs up and down in my arms."Thanks for enlightening me."Narrowing her eyes at me she said," I can walk.""Sama, you are sore and before you retaliate, no, I am not letting you walk. I will take you wherever you want to go.""Why are you so stubborn?" she mumbled."I learned it from you, my love."She stopped when she realized that the ball was in my court. Placing her on the kitchen counter, I asked dramatically, "What do you want to eat, Madame?"Playing along she replied, "What do you have on
Namit******Grabbing my collar with both of her hands she shouted,"What do you think of yourself huh? Are you some God or what? You do whatever you feel is right without even thinking about me. You say that you love me, then why the hell you did that?"I was stunned to see her that form. I had never seen her this angry, not even when I married her by telling lie. I didn't get hurt when she slapped me, but what's hurting me was her hurtful expression."How could you do that to me?" she asked in disbelief.I had no idea that she will be this mad knowing that it was me who brought her here and not any kidnapper. But am I so wrong that she is so angry with me? All I wanted was to keep her safe, I didn't want to hurt her in the process but it looks like she got hurt and all because of me."Sama, I...""STOP.," she said and moved backward."Just stay there Mr.Khanna. Don't you dare come near me." She called me Mr.Khanna inst
Namit******Taking her petite form in my arms, I descended the stairs. I can't wait for her to gain consciousness, it will be too late till then. Before Alex could do something I had to make sure Sama is safe."What the hell happened?" Dhruv yelled being shocked after looking at her. I explained to him everything and went outside where Arjun was already waiting for me in his car."Namit," Dhruv called me and I turned around."Take care of her."Smiling at him I replied, "I will.""And take care of yourself too." Nodding at him, I sat in the car with my wife in my arms.Arjun drove to the airport where my private jet was. I went inside the plane and the first thing I did was settled her on the bed. The flight took off and we reached our destination in 3 and a half hours.I was glad that she didn't wake up but at the same time was worried too. I called Xavier and asked him to be at the place where I was going.It w
