AUTHOR'S POV5 years later..."Ahh! What should I do with this girl!" Sakshi shouted holding a spatula in her hand at the kitchen's entrance.Akshay and Advaita closed their ears at their wife and mother's high-pitched voice."Main apni favourite hoon!" Advaita stretched her arms standing up from the sofa on which she was lying till now."Hey bhagwan! God knows what she will do!" her mother slapped her forehead in annoyance."Bachpan se hi na...mujhe shaadi karne ka bahut craze hai, by god!" she chirped dreamily."Don't you have to go to the bakery today?" her mother raised her eyebrows coming forward and holding her arm."I have time" she shrugged her shoulders."Ab toh mera hath chod do, itni bhi sundar nhi hun main!" she looked down faking a blush.Her mother shook her head at her daughter's obsession with this particular movie."Yes Beta, your mother is right. Although you came at 1 pm last night still you should not rest and again go back to work" her father interrupted, no, actu
AUTHOR'S POV"I would like to have my Ita back" she heard the voice she was longing for years.She stilled seeing him after 5 years.He was before her eyes after 5 damn years.There was news that he is shifting his business to India soon but this soon she didn't know.Dressed in a grey turtle neck and perfectly trimmed beard he looked exactly like a Greek god.And just like the old times her heart miss a beat as their eyes met.Those jet black eyes whom she missed so much turned a shade lighter when a layer of moisture covered them.She didn't realize but her eyes were moist too.He stood up placing his phone aside and cupped her face with a shaky smile."Oh god I missed you so much!" he exclaimed and pulled her into a tight hug.It was around 6 pm so very few customers were there who were also on the terrace seating area.She was just standing numb when he was taking every essence of her he missed in the last 5 years.She wanted to hug him back but it was like her hands were betrayin
AUTHOR'S POV"H...Ho...How?" he whispered.She let out a dry chuckle."Shocked? You thought you will enjoy your life and come back to manipulate me and I will obey you like a porcelain doll. Sorry to burst your bubble Mr. Dutta but I am not that naïve 19-year-old old anymore" she spat as her voice broke at the end.He waited. He waited for 5 mins that maybe something will strike her head and she will take back her words but nothing like that happened.He emitted a hoarse laugh and stood straight leaving the table he was holding for support till now.He looked directly into her eyes and smirked.It was like he was directly looking into her soul and in the staring competition, she lost and looked away not able to tolerate his piercing eyes.He took painfully slow steps towards her.The surrounding was silent and it was turning dangerously dark.She felt his presence behind her.He captured a part of her naturally black locks in his hand and sniffed it.He closed his eyes when the lavend
AUTHOR'S POVStranger?Yeah, that's what I deserve she thought.He stood up taking his car keys and walked towards the entrance where she was standing.His demeanor was radiating anger and nobody dared to mess with an angry Abhimanyu.All were scared seeing his anger, she was too."M...Maan, where are you going?" she asked in her trembling voice. No response.She followed him outside while he took long strides towards his car."Maan?" She called him again. Again, no response."Maan, I am asking you something. Answer me" she asked raising her voice a bit, not feeling good about what he might do in his anger."YOU ARE NOT IN THE PLACE TO QUESTION ME MS. ADVAITA VERMA. YOU LOST THAT RIGHT FEW HOURS AGO" he shouted sitting inside the car and went away.She looked at the disappearing car as a sob escaped her mouth.She went inside defeatedly.She broke down instantly reaching inside seeing 5 pairs of hopeful eyes.Everyone ran towards her."Di, please don't cry" Veer pleaded rubbing her ba
AUTHOR'S POVShe knitted her eyebrows in irritation when she felt something bright falling on her eyes.She felt cold. The warmness was gone.She rubbed her eyes and opened them slowly.She blinked a few times to adjust to the sun's brightness coming from the window.She looked beside her and sighed.She knew. She knew he will leave once he will be sober and that's exactly what happened.He left her. Alone.She heard a knock and saw Disha standing there."Disha?" she said as she walked to the bed and sat beside her."Abhi Bhai is downstairs. Go and freshen up. I bought you something to eat" she said monotonously."Disha, are you angry?" she asked with sadness evident in her voice."Why do you care?" she asked back with raised eyebrows.She doesn't like the way she was talking to her.She was talking to her as if she was a stranger."You're talking to me like I am a stranger" she said looking down at her lap."It's you who think of me as a stranger. Not me. You hurt me a lot. You insul
AUTHOR'S POVSmile. The one thing which was not leaving her face from the time she saw herself in the dress.Sitting in front of the mirror she can't stop smiling."Maan?""Hmm...""Maan?""Hmm...""Maan!""Huh? Yes, baby?" he placed his phone aside listening to her shout."When we will get married?" she pouted placing her head on his shoulder."Maybe in 5-6 years. Why?" he replied with a chuckle."That's long. But whenever it will be, I want my Mehendi dress green, Haldi yellow, and wedding red. Just like they are traditionally" she said dreamily, already planning her entire wedding in her head.He chuckled pulling her cheeks."As you wish, my love..."And he remembered.She smiled at the memory from their college days.The dress was green. Not so heavy. Just like the way she imagined."I know Maan you are angry. But I also know that you love me. And I promise I will gain your forgiveness before marriage" her thoughts were determined.She heard opening of the door and when she looked
AUTHOR'S POVSangeet and Haldi were also a close affair with family and close friends.All were living in the Verma Mansion for the time being.It was 10 pm in the night and everyone was already retarded to their rooms.Advaita could not get an ounce of sleep because of the wedding which was tomorrow.Everything was perfect just like the way she wanted except for the man who was doing it.You know that feeling when you know that the other person loves you, cares for you, worries for you but still, you can't feel that affection you want?Yeah, that's exactly how she was feeling now.She caressed his name on her henna with a smile."Why are you so stubborn?" she pouted caressing the name as if he was himself present there."Forgive me na" she choked on her tears still caressing his name.After some time, she sighed and wiped her tears.She decided to take a walk near the swimming pool hoping to get some sleep before her big day.The breeze was cold but soothing.She rubbed her palms tog
AUTHOR'S POV"You really thought that you can get away from me?" he took predatory steps forward, towards her.She gulped seeing his dilated pupils as she moved backward in response.Her back touched the wall as he wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her to his chest."You really thought you will marry someone else and I will let you?" he whispered near her ear.Her heartbeat increased hearing him."You were wrong my love. You are mine. Just mine" he said huskily.Her heart was dancing listening to him."I love you, Ms. Advaita Verma" he said directly looking into her eyes."I love you too, Mr. Siddharth Malhotra" she said smiling back...SIDDARTH MALHOTRA???She smiled in her sleep and hugged her pillow close to herself.She furrowed her brows in irritation when she heard someone knocking on her window and calling her in a hushed tone.She woke up irritatedly rubbing her eyes just to murder the person who broke her beautiful dream.She looked towards the window and saw only
