A promise: That Changed my life

KaranI instantly hurried from my office after my sister Kaya informed me that mom's health has been critical and they took her to the hospital. She was fighting cancer for the past 2 years and she is in the last stage, doctor has warned us earlier about this, "Your mother hasn't much time left." Like a month ago.When I reached out of the hospital, my brother Sunny was waiting for me in the lobby, we quickly ran to the staircase because elevators were run out of order.Surely the elevators chose the best timing to test my patience and anger when I am in rush to see my ill mom.Finally, we reached in front of her room, taking a deep breath, I headed in, finding my mom on the bed with an oxygen mask on her face whereas my father and sister were sitting beside her, holding her hand."Maa." my voice came out as an audible whisper, all eyes turn on me but I smiled weakly when

Siya"Now, it's time for makeup," My mom's sister Reshma aunty says, showing the bag filled with makeup products."No, aunty, you know na, I hate the heaviness and taste of makeup a lot.""I am not telling you to eat them, also you have to look like a fairy today, it's your wedding.""So what? Ain't I am looking fairy enough already?!" I argued."No, you are not, ""Aunty-" She interjected me."If you love your aunty you will use them."I sighed defeated, "FINE."It's been a couple of weeks since I am preparing myself for this day, I never knew that I am not able to choose the man whom I want to marry, no one cares for my opinion, thanks to my sister, she runs away because she is a girl and I stuck here at her place because I am a girl the difference of thin line between us is she only thought about hersel

Siya Last night I may have fallen asleep faster out of my tiredness but I slept in the position of big animals who are forced to sleep in the small cages. Sleeping on the cough was surely the worst choice I made in a while. It has given me a stronger ache in my neck, arms, back, and legs, in short, everywhere. Stretching my arms to release some of my pain didn't help much as I got up, freshen up, and off to the living room. "Bhabhi sa woke up early." Sunny stated, seeing me, Suddenly I got a neck ache. When I moved my head to glance at him, I squinted my visions in pain. "Are you okay?" Maa sa asks. "Yes, I guess," I replied. 

Karan After the delicious night meal, I am feeling very heavy already, I seriously need to do the gym.  Pulling out my jacket and losing a few buttons of my shirt, I sat on the bed comfortably yet relaxed. Mom directly made me sit at the dining table as I arrived, for dinner not even letting me change properly. But it was worth it. I checked my phone, 500 missed calls, and 100 messages from Rhea, regarding why I didn't invite her to my marriage, and why would I? If she would be there she must have made some kind of ruckus to break my marriage, for no reason. Dang, I didn't even invite her to my reception too. Even though Mom reminded me about her, I purposely avoided giving her my invitation card. I will be ver

KaranDaniel's lips curved up in a satisfied smirk, seeing me approaching them, "Can I get my lovely wife back?""Sure." He says, giving Adah's hand in mine, I know this jerk was trying to make me jealous after all, he is my best friend and I know him very well.Yet, I hate the fact that his plan to make me jealous worked, I don't get why I can't see her with someone else. I felt the same sting of jealousy in my heart after a decade when I saw Anjali dancing with a stranger. She also seemed to be happy with him like Adah was with Danny.That bastard! I regret inviting him!!He reminds me of her again. I tried my best to forgive her with the time, but time again showed me my past I was running from, from all these years. I promised myself if Anjali can't be my life, no one else will and at this moment, I am feeling like I am breaking my promise, my own words.
