2021-07-24 22:04:35As a year went by, Shardul a.k.a Mr Flowers feelings for Sanvika grew. Even his sister could see it. Suchil rather liked Sanvika.
“Tell her how you feel.” Suchil prompted Shardul.
“She is so young…”
“So, who told you to like someone young? You liked the young girl, right? So have the guts to admit it. And you guys are just 6 years apart.” Shardul still looked nervous. “Look you are 31 now. Time to get married. And San is such a gem. Don’t lose her.”
But of course, these siblings did not know anything about Sanvika’s past, or about her parents. That she was from one of the richest families in the country. For them, she was just San. The girl who singlehandedly manages the restaurant at such a young age. She never lost smile. She was always so pleasant and so fun to be with.
Sanvika took the role of the waitress at the restaurant while the two chefs cooked. The two chefs were a comic duo. They had a love-hate relationship. Always bickering. Like Tom and Jerry. But it was fun for San to watch them.
“Tariq Bhai…” One evening San was on the counter, the restaurant almost about to close. “Can you make those onion pakoras for me…”
“Going to drink, San?”
“Yes. I feel like drinking tonight. Today… I should.”
“Why? Is today something special?” Tariq asked cleaning the kitchen counter.
“Yes.”
“What is it?”
“Hm… Today is… someone’s birthday.”
“San’s birthday?”
“Not mine.”
“Then?”
“Somebody…”
Tariq looked at her for a while and then silently went to make The onion pakoras. Astrid came out of the storeroom. “San’s drinking?” She asked seeing Tariq cut onions. Tariq nodded. Astrid looked at San who was looking at the night sky.
“I wonder where San’s parents are,” Tariq said in English.
“San ran away from home.”
“Still… Why won’t they search for her?”
“How would I know.”
“Do you even care? San is like a sister to us.”
“Do you ever wonder why ‘I’ left home… and came to a different country?”
“Ah… I have never thought of that. Since I don’t care.”
Astrid frowned.
When Astrid was drinking Shardul joined her. She was not drunk yet. “Mr Flower.” She said.
“Why are you drinking alone?”
She just smiled.
“You could have called me.”
“I wanted to be alone today…”
Shardul noticed a sadness in her eyes. “What is it, San?’ he sat closer and asked in a gentle voice.
“Today is my Mother’s birthday.” She wiped the tear that came to her eyes.
Shardul went silent. “You miss your mom?” He asked after a while.
Sanvika nodded. Shardul felt bad for her. “Eh… I know this is the wrong time to say this but… if you need a family, I can be one.” Sanvika looked up at him. “Marry me, San.”
Sanvika blinked. It was unexpected for her. She sat up. “What did you say?”
“I like you.”
She blinked more. “As in like me like me?”
“Didn’t you know?”
“But… Mr Flower likes… dead girl…”
“You told me to let go of her. I did…”
Sanvika settled back down. Settled head on the table, looking down.
“You don’t have to give me an answer now. I know it’s too sudden for you. And wrong timing and all. But I felt I needed to say this today. So, you can take time to think about it…”
Sanvika looked up. “Mr Flower.”
“Hm?”
“I am sorry. I can’t…”
Shardul’s heart broke. He could not speak for a second. He did not expect this immediate rejection.
“It’s not because of Mr Flower.” Sanvika continued. “I don’t want to get married. Ever…”
“Why?”
“Just… And Mr Flower is just Mr Flower. I don’t feel that way.”
Shardul avoided her eyes to hide the fact that he may cry. He got up. “Okay…”
“Don’t feel bad, na, Mr Flower.”
“I don’t feel bad. It’s just… It’s okay… I can’t insist if you don’t feel anything… But… well. Goodnight.” He turned around to leave. Sanvika did feel bad. Shardul stopped at the door and looked back at her. “Eh… Can I ask something more?”
“Yeah?”
“There isn’t anyone else that you love or like, right?”
There was a momentary pause and Sanvika hesitated. Then she said. “Of course not.”
Shardul nodded and left.
And after that, Shardul never expressed his feelings or but he did not let go of them either. But now, Sanvika could sense his feelings for her. On the way, he talked to her. How he walked her to the market and back at night. How he took care of her.
If it was anyone, they would have melted.
But Sanvika did not.
And things were going like this peacefully until one morning Sanvika opened the door to find Vivaan.

Entwined Epilogue
It was a busy day in San’s restaurant. It’s been one year. The restaurant has been bursting with activity ever since they had changed the location and concept recently. “We obviously work well in a warm homely feel atmosphere,” Tariq commented while playing with his baby boy. “Right, Ocean?” He asked the baby. Tariq and Astrid had named their baby ‘Ocean’. It was such a beautiful name that denoted no religion or country of origin. Sanvika smiled taking a wine bottle from the shelf. She had decorated this new shop exactly the same as the Goa one. The concept was Goa. The food, the wine, even the clothes the staff wore, reminded everyone of the beaches and beautiful sceneries. “Hey, did you see that article in the newspaper about Shardul Bhai?” “Yes. Finally, his book is being bought by the people.” Shardul’s book on the heritage of Goan architecture had gained a lot of attention and became a best seller. Vivaan walked into the restaurant.

To: Nirmala.Singhania14@xmail.comFrom: viv.aan.o@xmail.comHi Ma,Since your phone is still off, I thought of sending an email instead. I told Vicky the truth. But shockingly she already knew about Taylor’s death. Yes, all our efforts to keep that fact from her were in vain. She knew about his death all this time. She left us because of the guilt she felt after knowing the truth.Vicky is still angry with you for my accident. But I think you two should sort that out. So please come back home.I was discharged yesterday and came back home. I am still supposed to take lots of rest, and Vicky and my mother would not let me do any office work. I cannot be sure when I can return to work. So please come back. We both cannot be gone at the same time from Singhania Industries Office.Regards,Vivaan To: Nirmala.Singhania14@xmail.comFrom: viv.aan.o@xmail.comHi Ma,It&rsquo

It was bedtime, and Sanvika began to get into the bystander’s bed. Vivaan was watching her. He did not really like lying to her about the whole memory loss thing. But he did not want her hating her mother either. He was not sure how she will react after she comes to know about Taylor. She may not be the same Sanvika anymore. She could decide to leave him and go back to Goa. This could be the last happy night they have.“Vicky,” He called.“Hm?” She asked.“Can’t we sleep on the same bed? I mean, we are married now, right?She looked at him. “Oh… you don’t remember. You have been sleeping away from me.”Vivaan knew that. But he stayed silent. Pretending he does not remember.“You want to sleep together?” Sanvika asked.Vivaan nodded. Sanvika got up from the bystander’s bed and came to bed with Vivaan. They lay down together.Sanvika felt strange

Sanvika adjusted the flowers on the table beside Vivaan’s bed. Vivaan had been shifted to a room. It has been three days since the accident and last day, Vivaan had woken up briefly. Just briefly. He did not say anything and went back to sleep.Vivaan‘s mother was at the hospital for a while and then she left him with Sanvika to go home. Astrid and Tariq had come to visit Vivaan earlier and left an hour before. Astrid was the one who brought flowers to be put in the room.Sanvika sat beside Vivaan after she arranged the flowers. One side of his head was shaved where they operated. That area was still bandaged. Sanvika fixed the remaining hair strands. Vivaan always had good hair. He took pride in his hair and always kept it in well-groomed condition. Sanvika thought that he may not be happy at the fact that one side of his head is now shaved. She moved her fingers through the front fringes.Vivaan stirred in his sleep. “Vivaan?” Sanvika c

Vivaan breathed heavily as pain rushed through his whole body. He was still held on to his seat with the seat belt inverted since the car had turned over. The car’s top hand dented, crashing into his head. He bled from the wound… He was losing consciousness as his own blood made a pool on the roof of the car and oozing out to the asphalt road.“Vicky…” he mumbled as he saw people gather around the car. “will be waiting for me. Need to get home.” The guys following him pushed through the crowd and went to the car. One of them took out his mobile and called for the ambulance, and another one called Nirmala at once. Vivaan could not stay awake anymore and fell unconscious.Sanvika was wondering why Vivaan was getting late when Mansi - Vivaan’s mother rushed into their room. “Sanvika… Sanvika… Vivaan.” She appeared very flustered. That is when Sanvika got a call from Nirmala. “V

Nirmala was about to go home for the day when Vivaan knocked and entered her cabin. She turned to him. “Oh, Vivaan. Is there any problem?” “No, auntie. Not official. I was hoping to talk to you about something personal.” “Of course,” Nirmala said. “And it is ‘Ma’ from now on, Son-in-law.” “Oh, right,” Vivaan said awkwardly, still not used to calling someone else ‘mother’. “Sit.” Vivaan sat down, and Nirmala sat down on her seat looking at her. “So what’s up?” Vivaan hesitated. He knew Nirmala would definitely be against telling Sanvika the truth about Taylor. He needed to argue with his mother-in-law now. And she was not just any mother-in-law. She was Nirmala Singhania. She could give a fright to anyone. But Vivaan decided to go directly to the subject. “Ma, I feel we should tell Sanvika about the boy’s death.” Nirmala’s expression changed. She blinked at Vivaan like she does not understand where this is coming from and this i
