I whimpered in pain.Elijah threw me on my bed and shut the door with a thud. I rubbed my wrist which was bruised because of his hold."Why the hell did you open your mouth ? Why the hell did you mention about your pregnancy?" He told me in an intimidating tone. "You are saying as if they won't know in future...for your kind information,you can't hide a pregnant belly."

Hues of Love 20. The Aftermath
Elijah's povI was sleeping when a shrill tone of my phone broke my sleep.I groaned and got up. Looking around my surroundings, I understood that I was in Ankita's room and was sleeping on the coach.Once again my phone rang . I immediately cut it as the sound may disturb Ankita's sleep. My eyes fell on sleeping Ankita. She was sleeping peacefully with IV attached to her hand.Slowly the incidents of yesterday came to my mind and anger started to rush through my veins.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath . I opened my eyes to see Ankita stirring in her sleep.I stood up and walked towards her. I stood in front of her.After some time,she opened her eyes and whispered, "W..a..t..e..r." I took the glass and helped her to drink the water by lifting her head a little up. Thanks to God that she was in a daze , otherwise she would have refused to drink it from my hand."Wh..what ha..p..pe.ne...d to me?" She whispered and tried to open her hazy eyes."Good morning, Sweetheart. " Heari
Hues of Love 21. The Devil
Ankita's pov Misery ,hatred,humiliated -- these things I felt since the day kissed me. Luckily for the last three days my tormentor is in Germany so I didn't have to see his face.Though Jenny came to meet me ,I wasn't in a mood to listen to her blabbering. I was feeling irritated with everything. I was so drowned in my anger that out of anger I stopped having my food and didn't take medicines. I remember that day I was applying a balm on my head due to the headache. After doing that, I went to the washroom to wash my hands. I closed the door and entered my room. Suddenly everything went back and fell down on the floor with a thud.I don't know how long I was out. When I started to get consciousness, I heard some whispers. Before I could properly gain my consciousness back ,I slipped into a deep slumber. I was in a deep slumber when sunrays fell over my closed eyes,disturbing my sleep. I groaned and opened my eyes but regretted doing that as I felt a sharp pain in my head.Slowly

Elijah's pov After a week"Randeep,in my studies now." I said in the call.I sat down on my chair and took a deep breath,resting my head on the head rest.I remember what I did a week before.I did something which I had not done for anyone...not even for my parents. I said sorry to her. I can not say sorry to anyone as I feel that it makes me inferior in front of others. But after saying sorry to her I didn't feel anything like that….in fact I felt lighter than before. "But it's your right to kiss her...you are her husband." My mind said to me."But it's wrong to force her." My heart said.I agreed with my heart."Then it's also wrong to marry her forcefully…" my mind said.No no never...I will never sorry to her for that.

There he was standing with an angry look on his face.He stood in front of me and picked up the diary which fell down on the floor."I asked you something…." He said in a stern voice .I took a deep breath and said ,"It...it was on the table...so...so I..I picked it up." He sighed and closed his eyes.

Hues of Love 25. The Invitation
Ankita's pov The sight in front of me made my jaw drop . There were some people along with the staff running here and there as if they are really busy. I followed them as they went towards the right side of the hall. "What's going on? Who are they?" I asked a staff member ,pointing towards the mess and the unknown people. "Good Morning Madam. They are here to renovate this room as Kitchen. We are helping them." He said and left. "Kitchen?" I asked myself as I saw everyone working there. This room was exactly in the middle of mine and Elijah's room. Does he feel so hungry that he needs a kitchen on this floor as well? "Good morning, Bhabhi." I heard and turned around to see Randeep,smiling brightly at me. I smiled in return though the word Bhabhi made me feel uneasy. "Good morning. " I replied. Only Jenni and Randeep make me feel comfortable here…not totally but still they make me feel. Though Randeep and Elijah are cousins but still very different from each other. Elija
