Arun’s pov They say hospital walls have heard more prayers than the walls of any sacred space in the world, and today, I know why.There is no hell! There is no heaven everything lies here in the life we live on the earth.Drenched in the blood of my wife, I now sit outside the ICU where My Anjali lies Fighting for her life.Oh, when I closed my eyes all I could see was her face oozing with blood, It's been two hours since she said she loved me, since she agreed to live the life we had planned for, since I promised forever to her and I had already failed her.For once! Only once did my life bloom and it was already Raining erasing even the tiniest ray of sunshine in my life.I should have never gone there! I should have never taken her back home! I don't know but I wish I could change things. I wanna go back in time and change things but all I could was sit helplessly and stare at the door.I would give anything! Anything in the world to get my Anjali back safe and sound.To see her
Author's PovIf Arun's phone had a mouth it would have started crying and screaming cause that bad was it. What do you mean he is trying to call his wife for the 13th time at the same hour? and she was not picking up The worst part is that she won't just pick it up no matter how many times he calls or messages her.He panicked honestly! When he came back from Chennai and entered their home the lack of her presence felt like a punch to his guts but he tried to calm himself and searched her, called her and even went to her office in the hope of finding her but No! She was nowhere.It slowly started hitting him that his wife was missing! Arun had imagined all the worst scenarios and everything ended in Anjali being in danger and that very thought made Arun's tummy churn.He somewhere thought she would have been upset with him because he had sent her here alone but the fact he had not seen his wife for more than 4 hours after reaching their home did something to him.Anjali did anything
Chapter 38Author's Pov Anjali and Arun stood nervously as they called out the results of the third round in Chennai.The cuisine for this round was South Indian, which Arun was pretty confident about.It seemed almost impossible for them to believe they had reached this phase. Arun was determined, confident, and very happy.Life suddenly felt good! It was worth living because of how it started treating him but for Anjali life started getting harder with every passing second.She still hadn't gathered the courage to ask him fearing his answer but then her overthinking brain was not ready to rest even for a single minute as it kept reminding her that 'He is preparing to leave her'"Stay tuned, Ladies and gentlemen " the host said and Arun turned towards Anjali who seemed lost in thoughts.Arun didn't talk much to Anjali fearing he would utter things he should not! Not knowing this Anjali's overthinking shot up as it added fire to her burning brain.Her Husband who has planned to move
Author's pov It's been exactly 22 Days since Anjali sat and looked at her Husband in peace because of how busy life had become for them.The mornings were no longer slow; they were rushed, and they had to buzz around like bees to be in time for their respective jobs! Afternoon phone calls were still on, but was it the same as before? That was the question here!And at a time when the world rested, they both lay in their little home in each other arms talking about how days went by.They were back in Bangalore in two days from London! Although Selva was in touch with them something stopped Anjali from being herself like usual with him and she knew why it was solely because of the hurt she saw in her husband's eyes for a fraction of a minute.She still hadn't grasped the hidden meaning behind her brother's words, with Arun working extra on their bakery, practising for the show. Anjali thought it was about his career that Selva spoke and Arun was hurt!On the other hand, something was o
Author's Pov The atmosphere was nothing but chaos! The results for the second round were out, and Kiran and Kavya were on cloud nine! After all, they were first this time, but our Arun and Anjali were not demotivated since they were second. They were still selected for the third round, which was in Chennai itself! If something distracted them from the situation then it was the fact that they were currently in London and Anjali had met her brother who showered her with hugs and everything he could.The last two days! Anjali barely sat alone with her brother and sister-in-law following her everywhere.Been three days since they reached London, and today Anjali had grabbed her husband and her little niece Swetha along with her tasting different cuisines, visiting places and finally sitting outside on her brother's lawn Arun had been there for every madness Anjali had stored in.Though she was always there! Though she made sure he was included in everything they did! Arun somehow misse
Author’s Pov A month later Arun’s birthday! It was easier to tell people to Forgive but standing in the shoes of a person to forgive someone is always hard. It's the same thing with Arun! He knew it was his brothers who sent a freaking hitman to attack him! … he understands why they wanna attack him god forbid he gets it but how dare they get the mere idea of even attacking his wife? He had everything in hand, yet he couldn't do anything! His mother had begged him not to file a case against his brother, but how could he stop his blood from boiling in anger? Thanks to his wife, who did everything to distract him from it! Right now, he was smiling as he imagined Anjali sitting behind the bike he had just purchased from a second-hand dealer. It was a black pulsar, a vehicle for travelling was a necessity for them and Anjali and Arun chose this bike at first glance. Ever since the show aired on television, people had the craze to visit his bakery at least to click pictures with him
Author's Pov"How do I look?" Anjali asked and like always Arun smiled at her folding his arms across his chest.It was always rare to see her dress up in a saree but when she did it was always magical like the first time to him.He stood up and walked to her in complete awe! She wore a pink cotton silk saree, earrings that matched her saree, and a tiny black Bindi on her forehead—as if this wasn't enough to make him weak! She wore the bangles he had gifted her at the beginning of their wedding. He noticed that she loved wearing them almost every chance she got, and Arun loved watching the bangles adore her wrist. Hence, he saved her name as a bangle in his contract.Back to the beauty in front of him, she kept looking at him for some words but our bro was still busy crushing over his wife. Arun lifted his hand, forming a loose fist with his fingers and moving it in a circle in front of her face, once, twice before sharply flicking his fingers away, like he was physically throwing aw
Author's PoVA week passed in a blur! Preparations for the London second round were in full swing.

But who will she invite? They had like 4 friends in total.Go on a trip somewhere? They are going to in a week to London, So that's not work.So she decided to celebrate it in her way! Something small but heartfelt and memorable. She poured her heart and soul and made a small cake which indeed turned out in the size of a cupcake and with so much excitement she walked towards the terrace with the cupcake and a single balloon in her hand where her husband was waiting fo
Author's PoVThe sounds of keys jingling and the sound of rain hitting the ground were all that they heard in the middle of the night.They had just returned from Goa, and it was raining heavily, so heavily that they were both drenched."Achoouu" Anjali sneezed as she pushed a wet hair strap behind her ears and hugged herself more in cold "Someone said, 'Oh, I love the rain! Let's run for it!' and ran like a Bollywood heroine in the rain" Arun said as he unlocked the door"And you like a senseless same Bollywood hero decided to run behind me?"Anjali questioned "And let you trip and fall in the middle of the road?" Arun asked, finally entering the door and pushing it open.As soon as they entered their home, a warm feeling filled their hearts! Their place was not huge, but it was home for them. It made them feel safe. When the world outside felt suffocating, this small space made them feel peaceful.Before Anjali could drop her shoulder bag, she sneezed again. This time, Arun turned
