Ananya's POV
From the last two days, he has started to take me with him to the office but he drops me back at the mansion when it gets the time of Aarav returning home from school. Nowadays I am taking care of Aarav and the thing that surprised me the most is that this is he who has given me this responsibility. And I am more than happy with this as I love to spend my time with that pure soul. I only get bore in his office with him.
As it is a national holiday today so he is also at home. From the morning he is in Aarav's room. They even had their breakfast in the room only.
After completing my morning work I didn't have much work to do and I was getting bored so I decided to arrange my cupboard. He has provided me with a lot of clothes because he says that he has some standards and he wants me to wear good clothes around him. It is so messy as I haven't arranged for them yet.

Ananya's POVAfter having lunch both the father and son went to the backyard for playing while he ordered me to bring him a cup of coffee. There is no doubt that he is addicted to coffee and I guess he thinks of me as his personal coffee machine. I have got so habitual of taking his orders of coffee that just by his way of calling my name I can guess what is coming next.I think his name should be Mr. Coffee Malhotra instead of Rudra Malhotra.I have seen one thing that he never says no to Aarav for playing no matter how tired he is. Nowadays he is saying yes to everything. He just wants to keep his son happy. It was visible through his face that he is tired yet he came to play with him. He loves his son more than anything.Sometimes I wonder how loving and charming he must be before meeting his ex-wife. And now just look at him. He always stays in his aggressive and angry mode. Scaring every
Ananya's POVAs we reached his room, he instantly jumped from my arms to his bed."Aarav bad manners" I scolded him."What happened Bambi?" He said making himself comfortable on his bed and hugging his stuffed toy."First wash your hands""I am tired""I am not going to listen to any of your excuses""But my hands are clean. Look there is no dirt" he showed me his hands."Germs are not visible to human eyes. They will get into your stomach through your hands and will eat your chocolates there""What?" He looked at me in confusion and with wide eyes."Yes, yes they will eat your chocolates" even I don't know what I am telling him."That means I should wash my hands""Yes, yes, come with me, we will wash our hands first" 
Ananya's POVWhat is there that he wants to talk to me about?He never talks to me properly and now he wants to talk about something very important. Something is 100% fishy.I prepared two coffees and moved towards his study room. I knocked on the door and entered as he allowed me in. He was sitting on the chair with his chin over the intertwined fingers. His elbows were placed on the table for support. I stood in front of him with the tray in my hand. He indicated me to take a seat. Putting the tray on the table I sat on the chair. I looked around to have a look at his study room. I have come here for the first time in these six months of my stay.In the middle of the room, there is a huge wooden table that has plenty of space to spread out files. Two comfy chairs are placed in front of the table. A laptop and few files are placed over his desk. There is a bookshelf for file storage on
Rudra's POVThat day after meeting with her I got so drunk that I babble out everything in front of Ananya. I opened my heart out. I told her everything from start to end even my feelings. But from that day I am feeling light like a huge weight is lifted from my chest.Now she must be thinking that how stupid I was at the time when I fall into the trap of that traitorous girl. I crossed all the limits that day and I was not in full control of myself that's why all that happened and meeting with her made me more agitated which resulted in my outburst.Nevertheless, she was going to know about me one day or another. This should not be my matter of concern about what she thinks of me. She could think whatever she wants. Because that Rudra Malhotra who was so stupid and naive has died years ago and now what she sees is my reality. And this reality is never going to change.Before I visited her to
Ananya's POVShe came out but I was not able to see her as he was blocking my view. He gave her the papers which she signed and handed him his property's papers.This is when he came back to me that my eyes connected with her and I was stunned. It felt like the world around me stopped.Her mouth was left open looking at me while he was looking between us.She took a few steps towards me before asking"Is this you Ana?"My eyebrows furrowed on their own. How does she know my name?She came to me removing all the space between us."How are you?"She took my cheeks in between her palms while I was looking at her in confusion. I don't know her. I moved her hands away from my cheek."Excuse me... How do you know me?""How can't I kno
Rudra's POV"I never wanted to become an intruder in your happy life," her sister said with a broken voice."Happy life?" She chuckled."Happy life! Yeah, I have lived a very happy life" she said sarcastically before chuckling again."You know only half-truth about my life. Yes, you are right, I was two when my parents died after that uncle raised me. But you know happy my life was with them?"She paused"I have lived a life of maid there taking orders from everyone without having any say in anything. Aunty's and Ruhi's behavior was very rough towards me. They used to give me three times meal and education but they were taking it out by making me work all day and night. Uncle's behavior was comparatively good towards me, and he was the only one who used to console me whenever I cried for my parents but when it came to his daughter he never left any chance to
Rudra's POV"For you, I am just your ex-husband's surrogate"She announced before running towards the exit."Ana.... please listen to me once. Please don't give your sister such a big punishment. Ana....."She tried to run behind her but I stopped her in her track. I would not let her shadow even touch Ananya."Stay away from her. I don't want to see you around Ananya""You are no one to stop me" she snapped back."I am her everything till the day she is with me so it would be good if you stay from her or the consequences could be worse. I have spared you for the thing you have done to me but I won't spare you again if you try to do anything" I threatened her in the best way I could and I know this warning is going to affect not only her but on her husband as well."Rudra please, don't do this. I was l
Ananya's POVAfter listening to everything about my past I was shattered. I never knew that I am living in the dark for so many years. Only if I knew that the uncle is the murderer of my parents I would have left his house. I would have never taken his support. But now when I have come to know about everything I would not take a breath of relief without putting the culprit behind the bars.I would have forgiven him for the things he has done to me but I would never forgive that so-called uncle for killing my parents, for destroying my family, for separating us.Neither I am going to forgive and accept that lady as my sister. I can never accept an inhuman as my sister.I know I am emotional and tears don't take much time to flow out of my eyes but that does not mean I am weak.From childhood, I have suffered a lot. And all those sufferings have made me strong enough to endure pain.
