“Akshara” Arhaan said as I looked at the amazing ocean view. I turned to see him sitting down on his one knee.
Why am I smiling so big?
“I love you” He said opening the heart shaped ring case, in which a diamond ring is at full display.
I’d prefer it to be a small and circle shaped that’d suit my finger better.
“Akshara” he said again. “Yes” I answered. “Akshara, your being very late” I saw his expression changing to anger. “I already answered Yes!” I exclaimed. “For what?”
How weird is he?
“Didn’t you said that you lo–” he cut me. “Wake up!” My eyes blew open and I sat up.
“I was really dreaming?” I asked looking around myself. I saw Arhaan ready in his office attire. “You never took me to that heart shaped island in the middle of Pacific Ocean?” I asked him. He looked at me with a confused face. “What?” He said breaking my heart.
“We never cought that fucker?” I asked him again. “What are you saying Akshara? No!” He said again breaking my heart. “I never got the best surgeon award?” I asked again. He shook his head.
I was not able to wish this last night because I was busy wishing for everyone’s safety, and that’s good. I get it. But why did I wasted the leftover time to wish by wishing the god to lower the hotness of Arhaan if he looks at another girl the way he looks at me?
I stared at him, currently, he is looking at me as if watching a new animal in a zoo. He will absolutely not look at another girl that way. I probably drank soemething last night.
“Let me sleep again, that world was better” I said before yawning and falling back on the bed again.
“Fine sleep, I’m going.” he said and I showed him thumbs up.
“Arhaan..Talk to him one time, beta” I quickly sat up hearing it.
Maa told me that Sanya, Uncle and she is going to her mother’s home for 5 days, but why is she back at 1-2-3rd day? I stood up and walked to them, standing near the door.
“I’m not talking to that man” Arhaan said calmly trying to walk away. “Arhaan, he is your father” Maa said stopping him by her hand. He really doesn’t even give his father a single chance to clear himself.
“I’m no–” he stopped as I pulled his coat from the back lightly. “He’ll come in a minute, maa” I said looking at Arhaan and he glared at me. “I’ll be thankful of you beta” She said Before putting a hand on my cheek then walking away.
“Who said that I’m going?” He asked. “The gorgeous girl infront of you” I answered with a smile. “I’m not going, end of discussion” he said before walking out.
“If you’re not going then it’s not the end of discussions yet” I hissed with greeted teeths as I tried to pull him back by holding his hand. “You’re not eating today. You’re getting too heavy” I said and he suddenly stopped.
“Seriously?” He asked turning to me. “I’m saying this for your own good!” I shrugged. “I’ll eat double today” He said again before walking forward.
“If you take one more step forward then..” I stopped as I also don’t know what to say further, but he stopped. “Then….” I’ll beat him? No. I won’t eat anything? Obviously no, that’d be my own loss.
“Then I’ll upload the picture of you sleeping!” I warned as nothing else came to my mind. He took a step back to me.
“When did you take that?” He asked. Because you were looking awfully cute. “Because you were sleeping with your mouth full open” I lied perfectly.
“Upload it, I don’t care” he said again walking forward. “I won’t talk with you ever again Arhaan Singhaniya if you take one more step forward.” It came out of my mouth automatically and he stopped on his tracks.
“What now?” He asked walking back to me. “Just talk with your father for one time” I said in a soft tone.
“Akshara, I really don’t wan–” I interrupted him “Please..” He looked at me with defeated eyes. Talking things out can fix anything, and it’s just a fight between son and father.
“Just this time” he said in an irritated tone. “Good boy” I said hitting his shoulder. “Come from office, then we will both eat pizza together, Okay?” I told him with excitement.
“But I’d love to eat something else” he said leaning closer to me with a smile, causing my heartbeat to raise again. “What? I’ll keep it ready for you.” I asked taking a step back. “Your movies were not able to teach you that” he answered before walking away.
Arhaan’s POV
I took a deep breath before knocking on the door of his drawing room. “Come in” and breathed out as I entered inside.
I saw him in his same position as he used to sit always, piercing his eyes into the screen. “Claps, Arhaan Singhaniya is here to talk to his father after 2 years.” He exclaimed without minding to look up at me.
Only if Akshara knew how much he cares for me.
“Start” I said standing in front of him. “You can seat down first” he said glancing at me. “Start.” I said again not minding to care about his words. He sighed. “So let’s start by…How is your company going?” That’s like my father! Didn’t even minded asking how I am doing.
“However it is going, that’s my company, so you don’t need to worry about that.” I answered. “Don’t forget, you started that company with my money” He said. I put my both hands on his desk and leaned closure to him.
“Then you also don’t forget that I returned you all the money at time with due interest” He raised a brow at me, closing his laptop and putting it to the side.
“What about the money your friend took from me?” He asked with no shame, surprising me. “Vidyut used all the money in building the company that you sold off to Shaurya at double rate, taking the benifit of his father’s company’s bankruptcy, so you got your money back.” I said smacking my wrist on the desk.
“That’s what a businessman does” he said leaning comfortably on his chair. “But you’ve never did something that a father does” I exclaimed. I wonder what he has said to Akshara that she thinks so good of him.
“I think you are done” I said before walking out of the room. “I’m not done yet” he yelled stepping out of the room behind me. I saw Akshara, Sanya and Maa standing there in suspense.
“This girl!” He said pointing at Akshara. “Be carefull choosing your words forward, Mr. Singhaniya.” I warned him.
“From the moment she has put her steps in this house, everyone’s life is in danger. What would you do if something happened to those boys that day? Shaurya is already roaming around with a fractured hand” I glanced behind at her to see her standing silently.
“What more can you expect from the girl who ate her own mother at birt–” “Mr. Singhaniya” I screamed holding him by his collar. “Not a single word” I warned him.
“Arhaan leave his collar!” Maa exclaimed pulling me behind. “Bhaiya please stop” Sanya said and I noticed a tear down her cheeks. This is why I sent her in hostel, not to spoil the image of a father in her eyes as it did in my eyes. I left his collar.
I turned behind and walked to Akshara, she looked up at me with moisture in her eyes. I held her by hand and dragged her infront of him. “Apologize” I said with greeted teeths.
He chuckled, “I’ve never even apologized to my own wife and you expect me to apologise to this girl?” He said and Akshara slightly pulled the corner of my coat, I looked at her “I don’t want any apology” she muttered, I held her hand tightly.
“That is why you have to. Because the one you insulted just now is, my wife, so apologize or..” Everyone looked at me in suspense.
“She’s leaving the house right away.” The grip of her hand on my coat lightened.
“With me”
I know he’s not ready to ruin the image of his lovely happy family in front of the world. “I’m sorry” he hissed glaring at her and walking back to his room.
Maa looked at me with tears in her eyes before running behind him, Sanya also followed them. I don’t get the fact why she always goes behind him when the only thing he knows is to hurt evryone.
“Let’s go” I turned to Akshara. “Where?” She asked. “My office” I said as I’m not in a mood to leave her alone here.
“Is this your new office?” She asked me as I stopped in a different street. “Do you think it is?” I asked stepping out of the car and opening her door.
She looked around and her face lit up when she saw it. “Arhaan, your buying an icecream for me once your work is done.” She’s literally used to ordering.
“And that’s my work.” I said holding her hand and walking there. She glanced at our hand and I dared her in my mind to remind me for the permission. “Don’t worry, I won’t” She said with a grin.
She was silent the entire ride before I remembered about the icecream stall here. “Which flavour?” She asked me standing near the icecream stall. I don’t even remember when I last ate it.
“Take this, or you’ll take years to decide yourself.” she said handing me a chocolate cone icecream. I saw her taking a bite of her icecream and again checked my icecream. “Why is your triple scoop and my single scoop?” I asked her.
“Arhaan!” she said seriously taking a step closure to me. “Even though you forget to care about yourself, I still care about you alot” she said in a polite tone. When did she become so sweet and caring?
“I’ll help you lose your weight soon” she said with a smile, expecting me to get triggered. But I kept staring at her overwhelming smile, If an icecream can lit her mood so instantly then I’m ready to buy the entire shop.
I took a bite and kept staring at her as she kept eating the icecream rapidly busy in some thoughts. Suddenly, she stopped and again thought for a minute with crooked brows. And I know, something stupid is about to come out of her mouth.
She looked at me. “But it’s a fact that it all started since I ca–” I stopped her by putting the icecream in my hand into her mouth.
“Forget his each words” I informed her as she pulled out the icecream from her mouth. The last thing I want her to do is worrying all the day about his words. “You shouldn’t have done this” she complained wiping off the cream that mistakenly went on her nose.
Her phone started ringing and she picked it up. She listened to the other side for a minute and then ended the call saying “I’m coming.”
“You go to your office, I’ve got some work.” She informed me forwarding her hand to me. “Where?” I asked.
“That’s…..maybe a secret” she said taking the car key from my hand herself and walking to the car.
“Akshara! How will I go then?” I shouted as she was far from me.
“Walking is the best way to lose weight Mr. Singhaniya, Good luck”
Akshara’s POV
“Am I at the right place?” I asked in doubt. “You are, I’m sending someone to take you.” He said before ending call.
Am I just thinking or have I really been here before? I looked at the tall building infront of me again leaning against a big tree.
“What are you doing here?” I asked as I saw Neil coming out of the main door. “I was about to ask you the same” he replied.
“But you didn’t, so answer me” I said walking to him. “Do you want me to get bored all the day at your home then?” He exclaimed as we both started walking inside Shaurya’s office.
“We prepared a birthday surprise for you” Neil said tapping the 13th floor. I thought that none of them knew, but instead they prepared a surprise for me. The only person who didn’t know was my dear husband. How sweet! Nevermind, I never told him about it either.
But I can say that those star shower was amazing, and much better than those parties.
“You should apologise” Neil reminded me as the elevator opened. “I’m sorry, happy?” I said stepping out.
“So….you both ready?” I asked them both seating on the sofa in front of me, and they both nodded. Shaurya said he is free for next one hour, and I think I’ll be done till then.
“What happened after his death” I asked them both. Arhaan said he is ready to tell me everything, but I don’t want him to pressurise his mind even a bit of that incident.
He has hardly started sleeping without the pills. I don’t want his trauma to effect him again, and that is why I decided to meet Shaurya at his workplace.
“No-one exactly knows what happened there, except the people involved and.. the person who wrote you those letters.” Neil said.
“Don’t start that way” Shaurya said hitting him at the back. “When people found him…. lifeless on the ground. Some people said it’s a suicide, some said he fell.. and some said that he was killed.” I heard him carefully.
“But the first person who blamed Arhaan for Vidyut’s death was, his girlfriend Riya” My eyes enlarged when he said Riya’s name. I need no more information to guess it’s her!
“She dragged Arhaan to the court and even after he was proved innocent, she never believed him and..we have no contact anymore.” Shaurya completed.
I wanted my life to be filmy in a romantic way. But why did it turned out to be a filmy thriller life?
How did Riya and Sidharth started dating then?
Coincidence!
Coincidence!
Coincidence!
I already said it 3 times in my mind but why can’t I still believe!
“You never mentioned the letter writer” I told him. “Because I haven’t mentioned the person who mentioned him for first time.” Shaurya said with raised brows.
“Kiara” they both said in sync and bunch of questions started swinging in my brain. “She was?” I asked remembering the note saying someone trying hard to forget her.
“She was Reyansh’s girlfriend” Neil answered. “She left him, right?” I asked them again remembering Reyansh punched Shaurya the only time Shaurya said she left you.
“Yes sh–” Shaurya again interrupted Neil. “We’ll get there, but before that you should know something else.” I nodded.
“Riya found a note in Vidyut’s jeans pocket, saying–” I interrupted him. “I saw everything.” I said and they both gave me a surprised look. Arhaan has told me about this letter in his office before. “Continue”
“She didn’t cared about it but Kiara tried to search who wrote it. She believed that it is done by someone else and kept convincing us all to report that to police. When we finally agreed, then, Arhaan got a letter warning us not to go to police and Kiara to stop searching him.” Neil stopped him by holding Shaurya’s hand.
“I’ll say the rest” Neil said and I lightly slapped my palm over my forehead. “So we didn’t went to the police but Kiara still didn’t stopped her search, even though Arhaan even begged her not to. Reyansh was concerned for her so he tried to stop her causing a big big” he said spreading his arms.
“Fight to occur between them and she left the city next day without meeting anyone and sending a note to Riya saying She’s done with Reyansh.” Neil completed.
How big can a fight be that she left the entire city because of it?
We all sat with straight face for 15-20 minutes. “The accident happened the day before yesterday, and he haven’t sent even a single letter since then” I breathed putting my on my both hands.
“Maybe he died in the accident?” Neil said causing me to look at him with enlarged eyes. “Or what if he’s planning something big?” I turned to Shaurya.
“He can’t die before I discover why he is doing it.” I mumbled.
A knock on the door caused us all to look there. “Sir, the meeting is about to start” A women said entering inside. Shaurya looked around and grabbed his coat standing up and walking out the door “You guys continue the investigation”.
I think an old man secratary can work better, Arhaan made a great choice.
“I think I’m suffering a very serious disease. Kaam me man hi nai lagta” Neil sighed laying down on the sofa.
“You know what Neil?” I said as I remembered something. “What?” He said in boring tone. “I think there is a hole in my heart” I mumbled and he instantly sat up with enlarged eyes.
“W-what? How?” He asked me. “I haven’t did any tests yet in any hospital but I have observed some symptoms.” I stated. “What symptoms?” He asked me.
“My heartbeat suddenly increases and decreases.” I said opening my one finger. “Sometimes, I run out of breath.” I said opening my second finger.
He stared at me carefully. “Just 2? And you made it so big deal!” He sighed. “No..I’m..I even have weird dreams.” I said remembering the dream I saw this morning.
“A weird dreams means a hole in your hurt! C’mo–” he stopped, and a big grin took over his face. “Is there a specific person near you whenever your heartbeat increases?” He asked me.
I tried to think and, I instantly nodded when I realised Arhaan always being super close to me in these situations. “Do you run out of breath when someone specific comes too close to you?” He’s asking weird questions.
I still considered it, and I again slightly nodded.
The hole in my heart is because of Arhaan.
Neil’s smile grew larger than his face was designed to. “You really have a disease” I closed my eyes for a second to calm myself.
“It has nothing to do with a hole in heart, because, it’s bigger than that, actually the most dangerous.” I gulped. How can he have so lot of knowledge about diseases?
“What is it?” I asked with concern. “Bhabhi ko bhaiya se prem ho gaya hai” he exclaimed loudly before bursting into laugh falling back on the sofa.
He’s wrong.
Absolutely!
“One more laugh and you’re done.” I warned him. He sat straight again with a finger on his lips. “There’s nothing like that.” I cleared my throat.
He again gave me a mischievous smile. “Even though my own record is worst, I’m expert in telling who’s in love and who’s not.” He said. “You also gave just 2 symptoms.” I said standing up.
“You want more?” He asked as I turned towards the main door. “You can’t.” I snapped. “I can. You dreamt of him, right?” I could feel him trying his best to stop his laugh.
“No, I didn’t” I lied before stepping out from there.
“You did.” He said coming behind me.
There’s no way I can fall in love, with Arhaan who is busy preparing our divorce papers. I don’t love him. I can’t love him.
That’s it. I’ll also take Neil with me to the hospital and get his brain checked too.
“If I say I don’t love him?” I exclaimed stopping in the middle. I saw some employees staring at me but didn’t cared about it. “Do you know the second biggest symptom of love?” He asked me.
I shook my head. “Jealously.” He answered. “Then?” I asked. “Will you be okay with Arhaan carrying someone else in his arms after your divor–“
“I love him.”
