I ran out hastily, my heart thumping loudly in my chest. By the Grace of God, there was a yellow taxi waiting. The Goenka Industries was not at much of a distance from the airport. I was there soon to find a huge crowd in front of the smoky building.I ran.. The Fire brigade had just come but they hadn't gone in, still trying to extinguish the fire from outside.I pushed through the sea of people and moved to the front. I met a familiar face, Akansha's assistant. I asked her if Akansha had come out," No Sir, not yet.. ", she continued with something more but well, I being a superhero as I considered myself, wasn't going to listen to anything extra so I decided to take matters in my own hands. There were fire brigade people guarding and not letting anyone go in. There was a "do not enter" tape placed like a boundary. I crawled in from below it. And without turning back, I ran into the building.. The fire was huge and the whole building seemed to be affected by it.There was a huge eff
Just the moment she was about to speak my phone rung.. For a moment I felt like picking it up and throwing it out of the window but then, maybe something important was there.I picked it up." Hello Neil! Where is my daughter?! ", my father in law asked frantically." She's fine, Old man. You don't need to bother about her. You have the most responsible son in law in the multiverse.", saying so I gave the phone to Akansha who already looked unwell.She talked to her father for quite some time, describing how bad the Fire had been.Just the moment her 'short and sweet talk' had finished I asked her snatching the phone from her," Girl, now tell me! ", I said, nearly wailing.She looked at me for a second, and then said," Actually.. The thing is... "" Fast! ", I snapped unable to hold back my curiosity." I'm-I'm love with somebody else! ", she said in one breath and those words.. They hit me like a hard stone, right on my forehead.I think my eyes nearly popped out because of the way
We were soon siting in a room with that guy Anirudh siting opposite to us. We sat on wooden chairs. He stared at me, observantly, from across the wooden table, as if surveying me.Now, I couldn't definitely deny that Mr. Anirudh Chaudhary was a handsome man but yes, definitely not more than me!" So, this is your husband, Neil Parker? ", he asked Akansha who nodded her head in agreement.Anirudh offered his hand for a handshake. I drew in a sharp breath, forced a fake smile and shook hands wih him. After that he said," Mr. Parker.. You look better than what I had thought about you. Akansha had told that you are handsome but when I see you in front of me.. You look better than my thoughts.. Glad to meet you, young man. ", he said with an almost genuine smile." Thanks. ", I said with my forced smile, intact." Okay.. Now that you want a divorce, you have to wait for six months.. That's the rule. You should stay with her for six months in case you could settle the disputes or definitel
Anirudh, the boyfriend of my husband had been living in Akanksha and my house as if it was his Dad's. After several days of torture, one day Mr. Anirudh had to go out to Dubai for some work. He had already ruined my life for two months (Oh yes! That leaves only four months in hand) The month was December.. The days had become slightly cooler and I couldn't have felt better. By the way, Akanksha, after all, did not fire me from the job. I was still working perfectly under her, she is not that bad as I thought. She did have her mood swings and anger issues when things went out of hand, yet she was much better than what I had expected.She was caring, Loving, Sweet, beautiful.. Everything that a Dream girl needs to be. But then, look at my situation.. I had her all this while and all I did was not care about her mere presence in my life. Now, I could only regret.We went to the office together but usually the talk was about business, Nothing else. No casual talks, or even me teasing h
Next morning I woke up in my bedroom with a note near my pillow. I rubbed my sleepy eyes and read,"Good morning, Neil. I understand that you were not in your senses and that is the reason you behaved that way. It's okay. You can take rest today and join office tomorrow. - Akansha. "Great. So she thought that I wasn't in my senses and said all that.. It's such a wonderful world, isn't it? At times I don't understand why it takes me so long to realize things..When she loved me, I didn't love her. When she cared for me, I didn't care for her. And now when she is leaving, I need her. And she thinks yesterday I was a drunk idiot who blabbered nonsense, and she was not going to take any of the words that I said seriously.I woke up, my brain had nearly stopped working. The time seemed to pass so quickly.. That was because my brain was crammed with so many thoughts.. So many regrets. Okay.. So now I cannot deny that I love her.. And the greatest irony of all is that I realize it w
I was overall happy about my 'new' Friendship.. But then, I knew that this man Anirudh is definitely going to spoil my efforts. I had to make her fall in love with me all over again! That too fast.. I had just got four months before it was all ruined. Nevertheless, I behaved like I was her friend.. That is talking to her the way I never talked (And that is like a friend), asking her about herself (which was something I didn't want to ever do) and I don't know what not. Life seemed to turn better, until it completely ended.. Completely. Only one month was left for us and everything seemed to be perfect (at least that's what I felt). I was sure by now that she could bear on with me for the rest of my life. That evening while we were having tea in the balcony of our flat, I begun, " Now that we have become good friends.. Could we just upgrade our relationship status? "" What do you mean? ", she asked, she was looking towards the setting sun. " I.. I mean that if we could cancel th
My hopes and wish for love, all crashed in the dust at once. Karma, it was, probably. I was a fool to believe I could fall in love again. I went into my room and packed my bags. She did not stop me, not anymore. She obviously did not have a reason to.I flew back to London immediately. This time, nothing stopped me.She sent the signed divorce papers to me. It was right before my eyes, on the desk. I looked at it, as an ache coursed through me.I knew this was the end of it.. End of our relationship.. My fancy towards her.. Her 'So - called' Love towards me.. Everything. Could love fade away so easily.. I did not know.I signed the paper and returned the papers. It all ended.. I knew it. I took my phone and deleted her number along with all the ways to contact her - just to prevent myself from approaching and begging of her to be with me.Two weeks had passed. I had begun with helping Mr. Goenka here in London. Even though I and his daughter had a divorce he didn't have any grudg
Akansha's Point Of View:He left for London the very next day. Now, I was left alone in the huge house. Truly, I loved him too much. Loved him so much that I let him go.As I sat in the balcony sipping my coffee I could clearly remember him. His presence was itself so enriching, so entertaining.I did not Love Anirudh. I could never love anybody except him, but I left him. I left him because I did not have a choice. Just then the door bell rung as I immediately walked up to the door to find Anirudh."Oh! Hello my dear.", He said with a smirk I knew well enough.I just nodded and let him in."Look your divorce papers are here.. sign them and send it to Neil. Or you know the consequences, I hope.", He said throwing the papers on the table as he sat on the sofa. I sighed.I was so helpless. So very helpless.I nodded and walked back to him. He handed me a pen and I signed the papers."Good girl.", He said with a wicked smirk as I felt tears welling up in my eyes.He snatched the pen from
