Breakfast is almost ready, you go and set the table?" Samaira asked one of the maids. She woke up earlier than usual and fresh and up not wanting to face him again. Being in the same room with him was torture for both of them. Both were avoiding each other. He slept on the bed and Samaira on the couch to keep her distance. He also didn't pay any heed to her. "After all, it's my room and She disturbed everything." With this thought, he slept soundlessly.Samaira went to the dining table, where everyone was present even Abhimaan. She glanced at him for a microsecond and served tea and breakfast to them. "You too sit with us, we will serve ourselves." It was Gautam who spoke, breaking her thoughts. Every day she ate with them. But, today she didn't want to. Being in the same room with him was already enough for her. He didn't say anything, didn’t even look up towards her. He poured himself his coffee, avoiding her. She felt bad."Dadaji, I made this fruit salad with almonds for y
The following night, Abhimaan was on Terrace, drinking and fuming with anger at Samaira. A mere girl has ruined his peaceful and content life. Even turned his whole family against him. Of course, her innocent face is not her reality. What kind of person would trade some other girl in their daughter's place?What kind of person would break every contact with their so-called daughter?And in what place would someone agree to spoil her own life?She has hatched some big plans. And my family is getting easily fooled by her innocent charm and beautiful heart. Bloody hell!"Abhi...." He closed his eyes and took a long breath to calm his inner rage. He put his glass aside, not wanting his mother to see him drinking. "Please Mother, I'm not in the right state to talk. We'll talk later." He said will finalty. "My sweet, sweet boy.." He felt her caressing his back, almost soothing him of his tiredness. He felt warmth instantly. A mother knows exactly when her child needs her love and war
Following the address given by Mrs Annie's, Samaira reached the library. It was not far from the penthouse. As soon as she entered the place, she took in the surroundings. The place was big but had a homey and warm feeling to it. It smelt of books, her favourite scent, next to mud after rain, it smelt heavenly. In her school, whenever there was a free period, she used to spend her time in the library. Many classmates of hers used to call her a bookworm, maybe she was one. But then again, she has no one else other than books. She used to be a chirpy girl as long as her parents were alive. Then, no one scolded her and watched her under a scrutinizing gaze. But, some incidents have the power to change someone's life, personality and more. She got her library card and roamed around the different shelves. She went to her favourite genre, biology and medicine. All subjects related to the University's academic and research programmes had been included in the collection. The library also
Samaira wiped her tear with the back of her hand, this is not something new. She is habitual of her loneliness. She sends a message to Ritika about her rank, she was not feeling like to talk anymore. She walked upstairs to her room and sat there near the window. She can see the whole beautiful city from there, maybe searching for someone. She missed her parents, her uncle... at least she can share her happiness with him. She signed with sadness on her face. Her phone buzzed breaking her thoughts, she saw the number which brought a little smile on her lips."Maa..." She said keeping up the phone."How's my Samaira doing??" Arunima asked. Samaira's eyes got wet immediately hearing her soothing voice. She can feel the love in her voice. "I....Am....good.." She replied with so much difficulty. She bites her lower lip to control her upcoming sob. "Beta, what happens?""Gautam...please come.." Arunima sensed her crying voice. She looked towards her husband, who is reading sitting on
Do you... want something?" She asked him, avoiding looking into his eyes."Yes…" He replied, eyeing her soft, pink lips.And everything went silent.No one said anything: she was waiting for him to say something. The silence was making her more uncomfortable. She looked down and mentally scolded herself for her messy state."What will he think about me, now?""What..." She asked again, almost in a whisper.Suddenly he came out of his trance, running his fingers through his hair. He looked away briefly."Behave Abhi!!""Where is Mrs Annie? Tell her to cook something for me." He said and was to turn around when her sweet voice stopped him."This voice!!""She is not here." She said."What do you mean she is not here??""Her shift is not over yet!" He said checking his wristwatch."Umm...There was no work... So...." She stammered again. She gulped and looked directly into his eyes to look confident.He was standing there quietly, waiting for her to complete."I asked her to leave early,
The next day, it was her first day of college. She was happy, excited too. She was going to her dream college - to fulfil her dream. She will always be thankful to Abhimaan for this.Back in Udaipur, when she lived with her uncle's family and they denied paying her college fees - she started to teach in a primary school, pursuing a simple graduate degree.She wanted to save money for her dream. Her aunt used to take half of her salary saying she has done a lot for her, so she has the right on her earnings. She always saved the other half but little did she know the amount was like a tiny drop of water in the ocean.But she never stopped. She always had that hope in her heart that one day a miracle would happen and she would get to live her dream. For once in life.Finally, she was going to live her dream.Her father's dream.She smiled looking at her reflection in the mirror. She wore a white top and black jeans, and a pair of white sneakers. She also wore a shrug above it, which she
Samaira had no idea of what just happened. One moment she found him in front of her, and in the next, he stormed out of the cafe.She went to the counter, where Ritika stood looking lost in some deep thought. Ritika was looking at her laptop screen with a sweet smile on her lips."Ritika, what are you doing?" Samaira shook her."I'm dreaming." She mused with a lazy smile.Samaria smiled at her friend's antics. Ritika came out of her dreamland and sat straight."Hey Sammy, did you see the hottie ?" She asked, jumping on her seat with full excitement." What hottie?" Samaira replied with a confused look.She only knows one hottie!Her mind automatically went to Abhimaan - how charming he looked in his formals sitting a while ago in front of her. But then...A slight mistake! He is a hottie with a HOT temper.An Angry Bird."Arey duffer, I'm talking about the man who just left from here. You know who he is?" Ritika said, earning Samaira's attention to listen to her.Samaira understood wh
A shiver ran down her body, he was standing too close to her. He didn't know what his proximity was doing to her. She breathed sharply."No one walks out on me." He said."So, don't ever do that." He whispered in her ear, making her nervous all over again. She could feel his menacing tone which was enough to lose all her confidence.He made her turn towards him by grabbing her arm. She was looking down - she had lost all her courage."Look at me when I'm talking." He said but she didn't budge. She was fighting with her inner turmoil. His hold tightened on her arm making her wince.He didn't like this strange behaviour of hers. He was feeling insulted by her actions. She was getting on his nerves now.He opened her palm and put the card in her hand, harshly. He pulled her a little closer so she could feel his hot breath on her face.She gasped at his action."Don't ever behave like a brat in front of me. Just do as I say." He said gritting his teeth and unknowingly hurting her.A painf
