8 Hours Ago:
“Honey, just one more day and you'll be mine forever, after this no one will ever snatch you from me”
“Promise?” asked Maya
“Swear on you my love… promise” swore Tazz , " can I come and kiss my princess goodnight?" Tazz tried his luck, as per tradition the bride and groom could not meet each other till the wedding now , Tazz couldn't wait anymore to hold his bride .
"Tazz no, it's just a few more hours , mom will be annoyed if we break any rule and I don't want any ill luck to befall upon us , so , off you go to bed and lemme have my beauty sleep ," Maya smiled as she felt warm in his love.
"Ok my lady, as you wish , Ill send the car to fetch you and your sister from the hotel, sleep now and dream about me.. till we meet again”
Maya was ecstatic and wanted to talk more, “well, we could speak some more, after all this is our last night as lovers, God only knows how my life will change after tomorrow.”
“Hey, what do you mean your life will change?” he asked
She sighed before replying, “It is said that no matter how much your husband loved you before marriage, they all change after marriage, they want their wives to cook for them, clean for them, do the laundry, have babies, then cook, clean and wash for the babies too , the romance flies out of the window and ...,” she blabbered on.
“OMG, woman, stop!” he cut her mid sentence, “let me clear a few things to you right away, first I don’t want you to cook, clean or wash.... neither for me , nor for our babies. Secondly, our love will stay, Ill never allow it to fly out of the window. Thirdly, I want to make you my wife as I love you and always will, I want to protect you and fulfil your dreams for you... for us. I no more want us to be You and Me, I want to become US ....and last but not the least.. and mark my words, I will Never... NEVER ever change, marriage or no marriage, I will always love you the most. Over and above all this, do not forget that you are marrying Tazz Jindal, the ‘to be Head’ of the Jindal empire soon. You are the next queen and a queen does not have to wash, you only have to bother about loving me and being loved.”
Maya’s vision blurred as her eyes stung with tears, she couldn’t believe that Gods had been so kind to her.. to have blessed her with the best man on this earth who loved her so much. “Oh Tazz!, I need a hug, right now, pleaseeeee,”, she pleaded like a kid.
“Much as I need it too, I think allowing you your beauty sleep is a better idea for now, so that tomorrow your beauty mesmerises me, so much so that I should become the centre of envy in entire city of Udaipur.” He thought about how beautiful she was, her gorgeous wavy long black tresses, her petite frame, fair and silky skin and her small beautiful face, “Oh, how I love her,” he snapped back from his thoughts, “by the way where’s my sister in law to be,” he asked
“She stepped out for a stroll in the garden of the hotel, she loved this place , well, I’m just glad that you will finally get to meet her.” she was elated that at least her little sister could make in time for her wedding, she had applied for leaves at her company in Singapore on time.
“I’m m happy too that I’ll finally meet her. It would be interesting to see your twin” then Tazz sobered up , “ Maya, we are finally getting married tomorrow, I know we had to go through a lot, but now things are different, you are mine and like it or not, you are tied to me for life” he chuckled, “Now I want you to go to bed, I am dying to see you tomorrow.”
Maya was silent, “Me too, see you tomorrow, cant wait to be in your arms” ” Maya was ecstatic, “ Tazz”
“Hmm”, “I love you, I love you lots, I love you tons and I love you infinitely, goodnight”
“Ditto my girl, Goodnight”
Maya hung up , sighed and turned around , she froze as she came face to face with a man leering at her, a cunning smile on his face.
Tazz woke up to a perfect weather, all happy and excited. The day was filled with many promises.
“Tazz, how long are you going to take, you are the groom not the bride, remember” teased his mom, she knew how happy her son was , though she’d been skeptical of this wedding.. she never really liked Maya and felt that Tazz deserved a better partner in terms of status as well as beauty, after all he was the elder son of the richest Jindal family , many hi profile families would give an arm and a leg to get their daughters married to him, yet, here he was .. Marrying a girl with no trace of any lineage “Mom” Tazz broke her chain of thoughts, “thank you for doing this” Taz knew how difficult it was for him to convince his mom, thankfully she gave in, “As long as you are happy son, I am sure Maya is quite something, she has your heart wrapped around her little finger, I am happy that you both love each other, all I want now is to see some cute chubby grand kids , now lets get going or we’ll be late” She placed the floral turban on his head to cover his face.
His father Jairaj Jindal, had already reached the venue before time along with Tazz’s grandmother, His younger brother Tejraj Jindal, younger brother Anuj, 2 sisters Sim, Naina and Tejraj’s son Samrat along with other relatives. The biggies of the royal city of Udaipur were present at the wedding, several guests from top business families, prominent politicians, actors and important dignitaries had all taken their time off to be a part of this royal wedding of the Jindal Family. International artists like pop singers and few Hollywood stars were specially flown in to perform as well as be a part of this event.
Name who ever from the Creme de la creme social circuit and they were present at the wedding. It was a night to be remembered. Reporters from various national / international new channels were present to cover the wedding of India’s richest Business tycoon’s elder son.
Tazz felt the weather change as he stepped out of the car at the venue, the clouds turned grey, accompanied with mild thundering , suddenly it began to drizzle, a soft smile played on his lips as he thought about Maya and her wishes coming true, she always found rains romantic and wanted to marry during rains, this wasn’t monsoon time but yet it showered, “maybe God’s loved Maya too” he thought and proceeded into palace with his mom.
There were two elephants decked up royally to welcome the guests, the palace had a small floating Island in the midst where the wedding was to take place, the island was surrounded by clear blue water which was decorated with lotus, marigolds and red roses, amongst them were floating diyas (tiny lighted lamps) , the décor of the palace was splendid and royally adorned with the choicest flowers imported from various countries… anyone who saw it thought of it as the most expensive wedding to go down in the history of palace weddings.
International acrobat artists dressed as fairies were flying up high and showered flowers on guests every now and then, it all looked like a King was truly getting married to his most beautiful queen.
While people could not get enough of their surroundings, there was commotion at the entrance, musical instruments like Dhol and Shehnai began to play aloud, “the bride’s here” “wow finally we get to see who has stolen the heart of this king” amongst the crowd were many young girls who aspired to be the daughter in law to this family, the atmosphere was a heavy cocktail of jealousy mixed with happiness.
A huge carriage scurried into the palace, the bride was being carried in it.
A huge carriage scurried into the palace, the bride was being carried in it.....
5 years later…..Anuj walked out of the conference room looking all worked up, heading straight to Tazz’s office he threw the file on his desk and began whining “ Bro, you really think this is my age to handle all this mess, how do you plan to answer my future wife about my loss of youth, you want me to have crow’s feet on my face, or...
Tazz had a weird feeling, he began to grow anxious but controlled his emotions.The dancer, Mahira stepped forward and her face finally became visible to all, the audience held their breath while Tazz froze,... there she was, an epitome of beauty, elegance and oomph! she looked every bit the mistress of her art, just for a brief moment he
Mahira had already hailed a cab and was headed home, her heart was on a wild rampage and she still felt breathless, “This can’t be...,” she placed her hand on her chest and tried to calm down, “How ? just how did this happen.. after all these years why did he have to just pop out of nowhere,” tears flowed out as she shuddered at the thought of the fateful night when her life turned topsy-turvy,
Mahira stood frozen at the spot speechless. His gaze shifted from her face to the suitcases behind her, “you seem to have gotten quite proficient in this,”his smile turned into a smirk as he stepped in , forcing her to step back“I... Im sorry.. i di..did
Mahira shut the door and finally heaved a sigh of relief, she decided to wait for a few moments and then step out.”What an idiot I'd been, obviously there wasn’t a single picture of her with her husband... there was no husband... GOD! what should I do,” she was going nuts thinking about her future.As he got into his frozen blue PT (Porsche Taycan), T
Mahira reached Mak’s room , the first one after the staircase on first floor, she knocked on the door and waited, there was no response, she knocked again.. louder.. she continued to do so, knocking turned into loud bangings , yet there was no response and she got a bit worried, “maybe he fainted after too much boozing,” she thought with concern. After some thinking she finally pushed open the door and found him deep asleep, sandwiched between two hot babes.
“Good morning Handsome, You look great,” Sonia looked at his beautiful features as she gracefully walked towards him , followed by Manoj holding 2 big baskets and a thermos.She ignored the look of anger he had on his face.“How could someone manage to look so h
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&
