Ankita's pov
I was standing in the middle of a garden which was filled with beautiful flowers. I was waiting for someone who was late as usual.
I was admiring the newly bloomed red rose when a voice came from behind.
"Ankita."
My lips curved in to smile hearing the well known voice and I turned around to see him standing there folding his hands near his chest.
" Aarush...I was waiting for you…" I said shyly ,feeling his intense gaze on me. Seeing him looking at me like this ,I almost forgot that I was angry with him for being late.
"That's why I came here to meet you." Aarush said, giving me a wink.
"But you are late." I said huffing in anger.
"I am sorry ,jaan...but I promise I will never be late again and always be by your side. " He said.
He forwarded his hand towards me .
I happily forwarded my hand to hold his .
But before I could touch him he started to walk backwards…
"Aarush...Aarush where are you going?" I asked ,panicking.
"I am going ,Jaan….but we will surely meet…very soon." He said with teary eyes and suddenly he disappeared.
"Aarush ….Aarush …..Aarush " I kept shouting.
"Di...Di...what happened?"
I heard someone calling me from a distance. But I kept muttering Aarush's name so that he would come back to me again.
"Di...di wake up." The person called me and started to shake me.
"AARUSH "
I screamed and woke up with a jolt.
I looked around to see the different surroundings.
Realisation dawned upon me when I realised that I was in my bedroom.
"Di…"
I looked towards my sister Tithi who was looking at me with a worried expression. She offered me a glass of water and I drank it.
She wiped my tears making me realise that I was crying.
"Same dream?" She asked me.
I nodded and my vision once again blurred with tears.
She hugged me and I started sobbing. She held me tight till my sobs died down.
"Are you okay?" She asked, breaking the hug.
"Yes," I said, wiping my tears.
After making sure that I was okay,she lied down on her side.
I lied down on my side and turned my back towards Tithi facing the wall and tears started to roll down my cheeks.
It's been three weeks since my husband...my Aarush died.
Ours was a love marriage.
4 years ago He was here in Goa with his friends when we met. We liked each other in our first meeting itself. Before leaving we shared our phone numbers and from then we started to keep in touch with each other.
After six months ,once again he came here and that time he proposed to me. I also wanted to give this relationship a chance so I said yes and eventually I fell in love with him .
After 3 years of dating ,we decided to get married . Our parents were okay with this relationship so we tied a knot.
Life was going smoothly. Soon we completed our one year of married life and celebrated our first anniversary happily with our family and friends.
After three months of our anniversary, he got a job in Paris and decided to move there. I stayed back because my passport and Visa weren't prepared.
On that unfortunate day , he left for Delhi from where he would board a flight to Paris.
He boarded the flight but before he could reach Delhi,unfortunately the plane crash happened which took away my Aarush ,my happiness with me.
After that my life became miserable….I was devastated. After two weeks of his death I left my in-laws' house as my parents insisted that I should return back to my paternal home. My in-laws didn't want that but after lots of pestering they got convinced.
I was relieved as well because that house had always reminded me of Aarush and our beautiful memories.
I looked towards the watch to see it was 3 am. I sighed and wiped my tears. I closed my eyes to catch some sleep.
Eijah's pov
I was doing my workout in my gym when suddenly somebody entered the gym room making me alert.
"Hello baby ."
I groaned hearing the most screeching voice.
I hate it when someone disturbs me when I do any kind of work.
I looked towards my right to see the source of my headache standing there with a smile on her face.
"What? I thought you would be excited after meeting me ,but here you are looking at me with a bored expression. " She said with a pout .
"I don't show excitement much ,you know that and your presence doesn't excite me ,Amelia." I said with a monotonous tone and kept the dumbbells aside.
"Well,if you give me a chance I can make you excited ….and I am sure we both won't regret it." Amelia said, running her finger seductively from my forehead to my right cheek.
I smirked ,making her bite her lips .
Before we could say anything to each other,a knock interrupted us.
"In," I said ,keeping my eye contact with Amelia.
"Boss,we need to……" Romano stopped seeing Amelia .
I looked at him and then looked back at Amelia.
"Meet me at 9 pm tonight here...in my mansion." I said seductively to Amelia.
"Sure handsome.." she purred like a kitten and walked away.
"Tonight!!! Seriously!!" Romano exclaimed with a shocked expression.
"You will know Romano..now say what were you saying?" I asked.
"We need to move to Goa…. Our Indian branches are needed to look over.. mainly,the construction business.
Moreover we found the man who was with Williams and helped him about the security scandal. He is the major link ...you know what I mean." Romano said.
I clenched my fist in anger.
"We will leave tomorrow in our private jet...and we will take Williams with us...he is important to us . " I said and dismissed him.
I went towards my room and took shower.
After having my lunch, I was sitting in my room to do some work.
Suddenly my phone rang and I looked at it in annoyance as the caller had broken my concentration which I hate most.
But soon my frown turned into a smile as soon as I saw my father's name and his smiling face popping up on my screen.
I picked up the call.
Eijah : Hey Dad.
Mr. Lockwood(Joseph) : Eijah ,my son….how are you?
Eijah : I am perfectly fine...how are you guys?
Mr. Lockwood : We are fine as well...tell me when are you coming? Your mother is very upset with you as you didn't meet us for the last 5 months.
Eijah: I am coming tomorrow Dad..
Mr Lockwood: Wow...wonderful..After you come back, we will start the preparation for your wedding.
I shook my head and said : Of course...now I have to go. Bye Dad..see you tomorrow.
Mr. Lockwood : Bye.
I kept my phone aside and smiled thinking about tomorrow.
Got a little shock? ;)

Elijah's povI stood in front of my parents' house and rang the doorbell.After sometime the door was opened by Martha who is our full time help.At first seeing me she was shocked and then she smiled brightly."Elijah baba,you are home!!" She said .I nodded and asked,"Where are Mom and Dad?" Although she has always been very sweet to me since my childhood, I wasn't so comfortable showing my emotions with her. So it's very rare that I have shared my smile with her. But acknowledging her warm behaviour, I behave softly with her...as much as softly I can.And Martha aunty has gotten used to it."They are in the study. " Martha aunty said ,giving me a glass of water.I thanked her and went upstairs after drinking the water.I stood in front of the study and knocked on the door. "Come in.." I heard Dad's stern voice."Hello family …" I said entering the room.Hearing my voice ,Mom and Dad looked up from their books and their expressions changed from shocked to smiling."Oh my God!! Eli
Ankita's pov I woke up in the morning and looked at the other side of the bed to see it empty. That means Tithi has woken up. I got down from the bed and went to take shower. After taking shower ,I got ready for the day and went towards our dining hall. I wore a spaghetti strap black top and comfy grey sweats. Keeping my hair open ,I decided to apply just lip balm. "What's up people?" I said taking a seat on the dining table . I looked at my father to see him having his tea whereas my mom and Tithi were busy discussing something. "Nothing...just preparation for lunch and dinner." Mom said. "Okay." I said while serving myself Roti and sabji. "Di...why don't we make Naan for dinner? It will be great ." Tithi said. I thought for some time and said ,"Done ,So dinner is on us Naan & Paneer ." Mom nodded. Dad said,"Wow...today's dinner is going to be very interesting...mere toh muh mein abhi se hi paani aa raha hai (My mouth is watering from now.)' Mom narrowed her eyes and

Author's pov After 3 daysThe Sun shone brightly….the weather was moderate and absolutely pleasant…But it was totally opposite in Sharma house,it was gloomy...especially Ankita.She was sitting in front of the mirror in a white salwar suit ….her eyes were full of tears. Tithi looked sadly at her sister ...she wanted to remove pain from her sister's life but it seems to be next to impossible because the reason of her happiness is no more…..Aarush is no more.And exactly one month ago Ankita's husband died . Today Ankita held a special puja (prayer) for her deceased husband.Tithi sighed and walked towards her sister ."Di,get up. Let's go...it's time for puja." She said softly ,holding her Sister's shoulders. Ankita looked at her and quickly wiped her tears. "Let's go." She said and went towards the living room with her sister. They reached the hall to see pandit ji (hindu priest) and Ankita's in-laws sitting in front of Aayush's photo . " Come sit beta,we were waiting for you."
Author's pov The sun shone brightly ,disturbing Ankita's sleep. She groaned and turned to cover her eyes from the Sun rays. But she failed as her sleep has already broken. She opened her eyes and yawned ,looking at the surroundings. She sat up straight as soon as she came across a very different surrounding ."How come I am here?" Ankita said to herself. She tried to remember what happened last night but she couldn't remember anything except that she slept ….after that everything was blank.She groaned as she felt a terrible headache. "Oh it's good you are awake." Hearing a voice she turned around to see a girl around her mid twenties standing in front of her with a smile."Who are you and why am I here?" Ankita yelled at her, who was busy doing something on her phone. "You will know everything...just wait for sometime." The girl said calmly."I am not interested in anything...I just want to leave from here."Ankita said loudly,standing in front of her with her back to the door.
