It must be in the wee hours of the night when Mahira was woken up by the door bell of her hotel room, she woke up groggily and saw that it was not even 4 am, she stood up, trying hard to open her eyes and walked to open the door, thinking it must be Ana
“Ana, why aren’t you..?”
she stopped half way as she looked at him standing by her door, his blazer hung at the back of one of his shoulders, hooked by his hand and other hand was in his pocket as he leaned lazily on the door, he was as handsome as ever, his looks could kill anyone who saw him at this moment
His blood shot eyes met her moist ones, then they hovered downward to take in her complete self, she had lost weight, quite a bit he thought, she wore a peach silk gown and her beautiful snow white skin dazzled.
Her f
Tazz stood unmoved with his eyes shut, soon he turned the other side of his face to her, offering her his other cheek, Mahira stood still, eyes wide in shock at what she just did.Mahira was shocked , she covered her mouth with both her hands as she digested what she just did“I.. I’m sorry, I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean to, I’m really ...,” she broke into sobs, unable to bear this helplessnessShe had seen him after so long yet she ended up hurting him repeatedly, first his foot, then his heart and now she had slapped himTazz saw her reel in self guilt“Sshhhh!, its nothing Maya, I deserve this slap, I totally deserve it,”He hugged her as she sobb
When Tazz woke up, the side next to him was empty, he touched it and felt it was still warm, then he heard the sound of water from the bathroom, instantly relieved he heaved a sighMahira stepped out of the bathroom once she was done showering, she was sure Tazz would be fast asleep as he looked like he’d slept after many nights of staying up. She was stunned that he was up when she walked out, she had her bath robe on, it was already 9 am, thankfully the meeting of the day was placed at late afternoon so she was relaxed.She decided to have a chat with Tazz and make him realise that she has moved on in life for good... then she felt her eyes moistening up.. ‘Have I?’“Good morning beautiful,” Tazz had walked up to her and hugged her, kissing her on her forehe
“Enough,”came a loud thundering sound straight from the devil’s mouth himself He had remained quiet since then, at first he was surprised to see Maya present in this meeting , that too at the table with the name tag of TJ’s company. He had lost his temper as it dawned upon him that she had joined his company, no wonder she had managed to stay hidden for so long. Then he heard the losers behind him rant and talk nonsense about her, he struggled to not to get those loose tongues chopped off, but he suppressed his urge and temper both.. and waited, wondering how would Maya handle this situation, however he had seen her quiver and shake with all that was happening around, so much so that she preferred to escape rather than face and stand up to it. Unable to bear what she was going through,
Mahira lay unconscious for a long time, Ana and Mak looked at Tazz who had not left her hand for a minute, he had called for the doctor while Ana had informed Mak about all that happened, Jake stood quietly on a side, wondering how is this woman so important to his boss Tazz’s heart was in his mouth, he felt like someone had sliced him across his gut as he saw Maya in this state. He never could imagine right now looking at her pale face that what must she have endured six months back “Mr. Jindal, the patient has been under some kind of severe stress and may have endured some trauma, she needs to be handled with care, no news to be shared which may upset or stir her up, I have attached the IV, her BP had shot down dangerously, if this repeats then she may slip into a coma too,” “Will she be fine now?” Tazz asked in a serious tone
As if on cue, Jake immediately dialled a number as he himself headed out, he sensed the urgency in his boss’s abrupt behaviour so he dared not stay to collect stuff himself.He realised that Tazz had deep interest in this lady as he had never behaved like this with any other woman.Once at the mansion, Tazz lifted the unconscious Maya in his arms and walked in, heading straight to his bedroom, Mrs. Shah was surprised to see the girl in his arms, she remembered her from her last visit“Mrs. Shah, please prepare some warm khichdi,” he instructed her on his way up, Mrs. Shah understood it was for the ill girl, she hurried in to do the needfulPlacing Maya gently on the bed, Tazz went about doing a few bits to make her comfortable, then pulling a lounge armchair next to the be
She eventually stopped struggling as she had no more strength , when Tazz felt her relax in his arms, he left her lips, gently lifted her up in his arms and bought her to bed. She watched him quietly as he made her sit, then he walked to the casserole which had the Khichdi prepared by Mrs. ShahHe served it in a plate as Mahira watched his cautious movements, as if feeling her gaze on him, he looked at her suddenly, she quickly averted her gaze as he walked to her and sat down beside her, spooning it he lifted it to her mouth“Eat,”“You don’t have to do this, I can manage,” she tried to take the plate away from him“I know you can, but I still want to,” he stretched his hand away, she pursed her lips and sat calm
Mahira looked at Anuj who seemed angry and had a strange expression on his face, she walked up to him in slow steps, thinking whether she should go back to the room as she was too embarrassed to face anyone due to the humiliating scandal, after deliberating a bit, she walked to the table and sat on the chair next to him, as she was still zoned out, she didn’t know that why was he angry with her “ H.. Hi, how are you?” she stuttered Anuj looked away when Mahira greeted him, she felt it was weird but didn’t pay heed to it, ignoring him she looked around to find Tazz who was no where to be seen “Umm, Where is Tazz?” Mahira felt uncomfortable as she realised that she was being given a cold shoulder “Anuj, er.. did I do something to offend you? I
Tazz was lost in thoughts as he was going through some documents. His mind drifted away to the information provided by Jake“Sir, Miss Saha had been involved with a project at Blue Rose Island since last six months, she had been working for The J group and TJ had been personally staying with her and looking after her as well. It is also said that he had acquired this Island project purely to have Miss Saha on board even before the..,” he stoppedTazz understood what he wanted to say“Speak,”“The scandal that hit Miss Saha six months back... in fact it was TJ who had saved her last minute before any untoward incident could happen, it was he who even nursed her back to health while she was in coma those days, then they left for the island and have been staying t
Maya tried hard to punch and kick him, but he was too strong for her, she felt repulsed as he tried to push open her lips with the force of his tongue, when she stood her ground firm he left her lips and glared at herLooking at the dangerous look in his red eyes, she regretted not having let Tazz come with her now, he was right, She shouldn’t have trusted TJ“Why.. can’t I kiss my bride to be?,” his breath reeked of whisky and she turned her face away in disgust“It should be done particularly now that my woman is lost in the thoughts of another man,” he sneered close to her face“We are not getting married, even if I would have wanted to , after what you did just now, I will never marry you,” She turned her face to look at him straight in his eyes, his jaw twitched and it was clear that he held back from unleashing the beast within“You have lost my trust and my respect for good TJ,” she looked into his eyes while he didn’t move, still glaring at her,“Just.. just stop for God’s sak
Now this really was news to him"Mahira was married to Petnovak!!," Tazz was totally taken aback, how fate plays a major role in people's lives, he just realised it, of all the places and projects he had to choose from, he zeroed in on this Island project, when he suddenly decided to get Maya on this project, his intention was purely to keep her close to him, but fate was playing at getting her closer to her family“Yes, and since these tribals have a unique magical way to bind souls and mates, when Mahira was killed, Petnovak and Little Tiger froze in a soul entanglement vortex, that night, Mahira communicated through me with her husband and child, somehow cutting off the bond so that they could continue to live,”Tazz was taken aback“Do such things really happen?”
Back in Singapore:“Anuj, I don’t understand, it’s been a few days and Tazz isn’t back, who do you think will be responsible for the losses incurred in business, how can he be so irresponsible,”Jairaj, Tazz and Anuj’s father had received a call by Tejraj informing that Tazz has not been concentrating on the business and some board of directors have been complaining about a new island project the company has over taken at a magnanimous amount“Dad, trust me, Bro has everything in control, there’s nothing wrong at the office here, I don’t understand who keeps giving you such misinformations,” Anuj turned to glare at Tejraj who sat leisurely on Tazz’s chair and read a newspaper“I don’t know anything, find that wast
It seemed like several seasons had passed by as the two lovers cozied up in each other’s arms, Tazz leaned his back on his car and she had the back of her head on his chest. The sun had set and the breeze had cooled down long back.Tazz held her firmly against his chest, finally he got to know what he wanted to, finally she admitted that she was his Maya, finally the game of cop and thief was over and all the misunderstandings had resolved, all but one..Who was that man who lay such a dangerous game of chess for them all, who went to the extent of raping and killing Mahira just to threaten Maya from going ahead with this wedding and whose motive was so big to have planned and schemed so wellHe truly wanted to dig more but stopped as soon as he sensed her discomfort, he cursed himself for being impatient when he felt her go
“Mahira is no more,”she looked straight ahead into nowhere in particular, her face was hard, eyes cold and stony, a whiff of strong breeze hit Tazz as the impact of her words set upon himHe felt engulfed in her pain for a moment as a look of deep sadness spread to her eyes“What happened?,”Mahira abruptly turned to look at Tazz, her face scrunched up in fury, her eyes shot daggers at Tazz and he stood aghast wondering why was she looking at him like he was the cause of her deathThen suddenly her face eased up, her eyes flickered and she looked away as tears brimmed up. She remembered Anuj’s words, all that happened to Tazz, he too was a victim just like her so why was she shooting daggers at him when the culprit is
‘Dear Nature, what is it that you play at, separated by misfortune but united by fortune,’Tazz looked at Mahira’s face coloured with shock and smiled, placing his left hand over the steering lazily, he looked straight ahead“She is adorable, cute, intelligent and a very wise kid, completely like me, a perfect miniature of me” he sounded proudHe continued to look afar with eyes that had pride in them, as if he could see her tottering around or walking towards him, then he looked down and smiled, shaking his head in disbelief“We have a strong bond between us right from the first time we met, she an...,”“When was the first time you met her?,” Mahira interrupted him, still unable to deal with thi
The vip room was dimly lit, loud music blared in the background and the neon red blue lights shone from the rotating disco ball across the room. A soft hand unbuttoned the shirt on the man’s body, he had drunk quite a bit and smiled as she slid her delicate fair and soft hand inside the shirt, caressing his chest, then moving to play with his nips, pinching them gently“Oh you naughty girl,” he laughed as he grabbed her hand and placed it on the belt of his pants, then he grabbed her hand again and rubbed it against his cr*tch“Ah! you are ready for me,” she mewled in her soft kitten like voice and quickly unbelted him, the man hungrily tugged at her blouse, pulling it off her head and grabbing her breast with one hand.She half lay on the couch, bent on her knees she took his erection into her moist w
Mahira froze momentarily and applied breaks abruptly as one of the RollsRoyce came to a sudden halt right in front of her car, her heart almost stopped beating for a moment in fear.The sharp blazing sun light hit her through the front glass, blinding her momentarily, however no sooner had she regained herself, she was overtaken with a rising sense of panic.She vaguely saw someone alight from the RollsRoyce that had blocked her path and walk towards her, she blinked several times but her eyes could only see spots of black dots because of the sun. The man took slow deliberate steps towards her, soon reaching her car he knocked on the window“Hey, It wasn’t my fault, it was you who stopped your car without any warning,” Mahira yelled without sliding the window down, blinking repeatedly to ease her sight back, but t
Mahira disconnected the phone when there was no response from the other end. Tama was still crying aloud“baby what’s wrong, why are you crying?,” Mahira panicked “Aaaa...waaaaaa...,” she kept going at it“Mommy I don’t want you to marry uncle,” she spoke in between sobs“Please mommy, please..waaaaaaa,” Mahira’s heart felt squeezed as she saw tears stain Tama's cheeks, wiping the tears from her face Mahira quickly held her close to her heart, she could not let this marriage happen without Tama’s consent, it was important that Tama accepts TJ, she took in a deep breath“Okay Tama.. baby.. listen to me, listen to Mama,”Tama&
