Ranveer’s POV
Today is the day Mr. Mathur promised to give me my money back so me and Harsh were going to his house to meet him.We reached his house in twenty minutes and rang his doorbell and after few seconds he opened the door.“Sir, Harsh?” he called us and by looking at his reaction I knew that he was surprised.“Will you not let us in?” I asked.“Come in,” he said and moved aside and after we got in he asked us to sit on the sofa and bought us two glasses of water and sat across us.“Where do you work now?” I asked even though I knew he was not workinganywhere.“I am not working anywhere sir,” he told me.“But you left the office saying that you will search for a job nearby your house as your wife is ill,” I said.“By the way how is your wife?” I asked and looked around.“Has she gone somewhere?” I asked further.“She is no more,” he told me.“I am sorry to hear that,” I said.“When did she pass away?” I asked.“Sir I am sorry, I lied to you,” he said and I looked at Harsh.“Why are you sorry?” I asked.“I lied to you about my wife being ill. My wife died a long time ago,” he said as he came in front of me and got on his knees.“I am extremely sorry sir, I became addicted to drinking and took money from you for drinking, and after leaving your company, I didn’t work anywhere and spent your money on drinking,” he said and I clutched both of my hands and stood up.“You have spent my hard-earned money on drinking?” I asked.I didn’t know he spent all the money on drinking.“Here I was thinking, you took the money to cure your wife,” I said.“I am sorry sir,” he said as he held my feet.I didn’t like him kneeling down in front of me and touching my feet but I don’t know what to do.The money I earned after working day and night, he spent all the money on drinking.“Dad?” I heard a voice and turned around and was surprised to see the girl from the ice cream parlor.“You lied about Mom?” she asked as he stood up.“Naina, I can explain,” he said.“What will you explain Dad? I thought you were working hard and earning money but you were drinking?” she shouted.“I am sorry, Naina,” he apologized.“How much you took from him?” he asked as he looked at me and her eyes widened.Maybe she remembered that she met me at the ice cream parlor few months ago.“Five lakhs,” I told her.“And for how many years you are not working?” she asked.“Five years,” he said.“Half of the money I spent on your expenses and the other half I spent on drinking,” he said and I relaxed.Thank god he was treating her right.I don’t even know her but still my heart cares for her.She is the girl whom I couldn’t forget.For the past few months I am going from that route in the hopes of seeing her at the ice cream parlor but I never saw her there.I even wanted to go to the orphanage and ask about her but I felt that would not seem right and dropped the plan.I almost lost hope of seeing her again until today.“I am extremely sorry on behalf of my Dad,” she said and I looked at her.That day she had kept her hair open but today she was tying her hair.She looks beautiful now also but she looks more beautiful when her hair is open and flowing down her back.“You don’t have to be sorry,” I said and she looked at Dad.“I was thinking you were working whole night and that’s why you cannot spend time with me and you were drinking?” she asked as tears rolled down her cheeks.I want to go and wipe her tears.I hate her tears.I can’t see her cry.I don’t know her but still seeing her like this is hurting me.“Please give me a week, I will find a way to return you your money back,” he said.“Only one week Mr. Mathur,” I said and was leaving but stopped midway and turned around.“Is she your daughter?” I asked him.“Yes sir, she is my daughter, Naina,” he told me.“Okay and remember only one week,” I said and left his house.“Why did you gave him an extension of a week sir?” Harsh asked.“I also don’t know the answer to that. Anyways, let’s go. I will drop you at home,” I said and we sat in the car.As I was going to start the car we came to know that the car is not starting.“Sir, I will go and come back with a mechanic,” Harsh said and left hurriedly.I got out and was leaning against the car and was looking at the closed door of Mr. Mathur.Why was I searching for her for these past few months?Why did I change my route in the hopes of seeing just a glimpse of her?Why can’t I see her tears?I don’t even know her.After some time the door opened and Mr. Mathur came out and I saw another man came to meet him and they both were going somewhere.“Sir I could not find any mechanic here. Let’s go by taxi and I will repair the car tomorrow morning and bring it to the office,” he said but I was busy looking at them.“Harsh let’s follow them,” I said and Harsh looked at them.I don’t know but I was feeling something fishy.“Okay sir,” he said without any question and we followed them and after few minutes of walking they went inside a hotel.I went and sat on the table behind them and Harsh sat beside me.“I promise you, I will treat Naina like my own daughter,” we heard a voice.“I know that Naina will be happy in your house,” Mr. Mathur said.“I am glad that you agreed to give me five lakhs,” he continued.“Don’t thank me. We are future in-laws now. I am so happy that my son will get married to your daughter. As you know after my son’s engagement broke it is getting difficult for him to get a nice bride but when I saw Naina I knew that she was perfect for him,” the man said.“Sir order?” a waiter came and asked us.“Later,” Harsh said and waiter left.“When you told me about your problem and asked me for some help I thought it is a win-win situation for both of us,” the man said and then we heard a mobile ringing and Mr. Mathur excused himself and went away.Thank god he didn’t notice us.So he is getting Naina married to someone instead of money?How can he even think about it?Does Naina know about this?We were leaving when we heard a voice.“Suman he got trapped in our plan, and no he doesn’t know our son is a drug addict,” we heard and stopped in our tracks and looked at each other.“Now we will get our son married to his daughter and then we can have a grandchild,” he exclaimed happily.“Okay Suman I will talk with you after reaching home,” he said and cut the call.What ?Drug addict?He is getting Naina married to a drug addict ?Even though her Dad doesn’t know that he is a drug addict but the fact is that he is selling Naina for five lakhs.This can’t happen.“Let’s go,” I said to Harsh and we left.*****Naina's POV"What will you do now?" I asked Dad and sat beside him.I saw that he was messaging someone, but he put off his mobile as soon as I peeked into his mobile."I don't know," he said."I am sorry Naina," he apologized and as soon I heard his apology tears rolled down my cheeks."How can you lie about Mom?" I asked as I wiped my tears but tears were not stopping."I was only thinking about the next time I will drink," he said."How did you even get this idea?" I asked and once again wiped my tears.""One of my colleague's wife was ill and he asked Mr. Singhania for money, he helped him so one of my friends suggested…""To lie about Mom and take money from him?" I asked cutting him off and I nodded in a yes.Before I could say anything he got a call from someone and went outside.I went in my room and sat on the bed.I took the Mom's picture and once again tears started rolling down my cheeks."Mom," I sa
Naina's POVNext day I woke up and it was almost ten in the morning.I freshened up and went in the hall to see Mr. Brown eyes."Naina, meet Mr. Ranveer Singhania," Dad officially introduced me to him."He is saying that I dont have to pay him money," Dad exclaimed excitedly and I looked at Ranveer shockingly to find that he was already staring at me."What?""But you have to marry him," Dad said casually as if it was the most common statement."What?" I shouted.How lucky I was to get shocks after shocks in a minute."If you marry him we does not have to pay the money."I went towards Ranveer and stood in front of him."Why do you want to marry me?" I asked him."I don't need to tell you the reason," he said."That means there is a reason," I said and he did not meet my eyes and then I looked at Dad."I also don't know the reason Naina," Dad said."Either you marry me or you have to return me the money," he
Ranveer's POV"Sir why didn't you tell her that you are marrying her to save her?" Harsh asked."Even if her Dad is wrong but still she loves her Dad a lot so if I had told her the truth she would have got devastated," I told him.“And her Dad is her only family,” I continued.But the truth is that I am marrying her not only to save her, but I also like her a lot.The first time I saw her, unknowingly, she made a place in my heart.I want to always see that smile on her face she had when I saw her for the first time.My mobile phone rang and it was Mr Mathur and he said that she agreed to the marriage.I asked him to tell her that I wanted to meet her.I wanted to clear few things with her.At around 4.10 p.m. my receptionist called and informed me that she was here.I told her to send Miss Mathur to my cabin.She was looking simple yet beautiful in white and green salwar with green leggings."So your Dad i
Ranveer's POVNext day as I was in my office working on some files my receptionist called me and told me that Sanjay Mathur wanted to meet me.Why does Naina's Dad want to meet me?I asked her to let Mr. Mathur in my cabin.After few seconds he was in my cabin."First of all I am sorry sir, I was so engrossed in drinking that I did not think about anything," he apologized."I want to ask you one question.”“What?” he asked.“If I had not bought up the choice of marrying with Naina, what you would have done to return me my money back?" I asked."I have not thought about it," he lied and I did not say anything further."Sir I came here to tell you something as Naina’s Dad,” he said.“Now you are getting married to Naina I want to tell you few things. Her Mom died while giving birth to her then I used to take care of her as we had no one because our parents were against our marriage. As she
Naina's POVHe was driving with a hand and with the other hand he held my hand.I wanted to push him away but couldn't do that.I closed my eyes and I was waiting for him to remove the hand.After few minutes a call came and he removed his hand.Thank god!After some time we reached his home and I gasped looking at the beautiful house.In front of me was a beautiful hall but there was nothing much in the hall except a sofa and T.V.I went inside and on the right side was a kitchen which was so big and had many utensils.Not like my small kitchen with minimum utensils."You liked it?" he asked me but I was quiet.I looked at the room across the kitchen.Maybe this is the bedroom."This is the guest room. Our room is upstairs. You go and freshen up. I will bring the bags," he said and left and I looked at the stairs which will lead me to my room.Stairs which will lead me to my married life.My room.It fe
Naina's POVI took a bath, put my clothes in the washing machine and organized all my dresses in his wardrobe.It was so weird to use all his things.I took out Mom's picture from my bag and put it on the drawer.Will he get angry after seeing my Mom's picture in his room?"Mom all this is so weird," I said and chuckled and kept the picture back.I sat on the bed and was reading a story in my mobile."Hello," I greeted."Hi wifey! What are you doing?""How did you get my number?" I asked."I am your husband, if I don't have your number then who will have it?" he asked but I didn't reply anything."Why did you call me?" I asked changing the subject and looked at the time to see that I was so engrossed in reading that I didn't even knew two hours has already passed."After a meeting of two long hours I was so tired, so I called you to hear your voice and relieve myself from stress. Even though...." he said and didn't say anyt
Naina's POVAfter dinner we both went to our room.I changed into my nightdress and slept beside him.He pulled me in his arms.He was stroking my arm with his fingers.I closed my eyes as his fingers were moving down to my elbow and then again moving upwards.I was feeling a tingling sensation and I never knew something so small could affect me."Where are you lost?" he asked as he stopped what he was doing.And somehow I wish he didn't stop doing it."Nothing," I replied making him frown at me."You know that you can share it with me, right?" he asked and I nodded in a yes but didn't say anything.He sighed."Goodnight," he greeted and as soon I greeted him back he went off to sleep holding me tightly in his arms as if I will run away if he loosens his hold.*****My afternoon nap broke due to the ringing of the doorbell.I looked at the time to see that it was 4.30 p.m..Yesterday Ranveer came home by
Naina's POVI woke up to see that we were in an awkward position.His hands were on my breast and our legs were tangled with each other.I looked at him and I would be lying if I say that he is not handsome.His brown eyes which looked at the world in a different view, his symmetrical face and his light stubble made him more handsome.There is nothing wrong in feeling his stubble. Right?I lightly rubbed my hand on his stubble and I was going to pull my hand when he caught my wrist."I am your husband and there is nothing wrong in it," he said.How can he read what's going on my mind?Does he have any supernatural powers like ware wolves in the stories?I should stop reading stories."I...I it's already 11 a.m. and we have to go to the mall," I said as I pushed him."In an hour let’s get ready and go. We will eat something in the mall," he said and went in the hall and told Daya uncle to only prepare dinner for us.
