Author's POVA loud knock on his door broke his sleep. He grunted opening his eyes, not fully though. Roaming his eyes around the mess he had created last night, Arjun sighed rubbing his temple."Get out" his annoyed voice resonated in the whole room and was enough for the maid to leave."Fuck" he cursed as his foot hit the beer bottles which were spread on the floor. Kicking the bottles, he got up and blinded the curtain. He met with an eerie darkness. But that didn't bother him at all, it never does.He was staring at the mango tree which he himself has planted when he was getting this mansion built.The yellow delicious mangoes were dangling from the stems. He is fond of mangoes, has always been. It's smell helps him to feel calm, he likes the sweetness of this particular fruit. But, this is not the reason why he himself planted the tree. 16 years ago..The giggling of the kids were annoying him. He just wanted to run away from here and never come again. The kids were playing and
AUTHOR'S POV"What happened, Maa?" Saanvi asked seeing her mother's tensed face."Your Mausi called" Saanvi nodded as Namisha continued. "She is quite tensed about Vinnie" Saanvi rolled her eyes and sat beside her mother."Maa, Vinnie will be okay. Trust me. She is an adult now." Saanvi said."I know but...she is a girl, Saanvi. The parents of a girl always live in fear" Namisha stated with teary eyes.Her sister called today and told her how much she and her husband are worried about their daughter, Vinnie who has gone to a different city for further studies.Namisha can clearly feel the fear of her sister. As she herself was and is always worried about her daughter. And last night was something which has triggered that very fear of her."Maa" Saanvi shook her mother who was lost in her thoughts."I will prepare the dinner" Namisha softly said caressing her daughter's hair. Though she smiled but deep down she was still very much scared.The mother daughter duo w
AUTHOR'S POVThe shock was clearly visible on her face. Her tears were flowing unknowingly making her mother's heart clench in pain. The papers were scattered on the floor. The papers of their destruction."How could he?" Saanvi gritted with fire in her eyes. Her fists clenched in anger, "He...he can't snatch OUR house" her voice and body shook due to the rage she was feeling.The man whom she now despises the most has sent her notice. The notice of leaving their home because he has bought the land and will construct a building there.Anger and disgust. Only two things she is feeling for Arjun right now. She just wants to slap him and send him behind the bars.She knows that he is doing this intentionally. Just because she has rejected him.As for Namisha, she was totally numb. She doesn't know what to do now. Fighting is not even an option, she is not a fool to fight against the biggest personality of Maharashtra."Saanvi....where are yo---"I will be back, Maa" Saanvi said and stor
Saanvi's POVSuch a coward he is. When he couldn't break me, he decided to snatch my house.What a looser...I chuckled dryly thinking about Arjun and his cheap doing.He thought I will get scared and marry him? What a fool he is...The saying is not wrong, money isn't enough to make you a good human. For that, you need a well upbringing which surely his parents never did.Bloody bastard.Maa is right, I can't cry because my tears will give him satisfaction which I don't want.I sighed placing the ice pack on my bruised arm. The area was stinging really badly and both of my hands were paining a lot.He is a monster. How easy it is for him to give me bruises and pain whenever he wants. What does he think of me? Am I not a human being? Do I not feel pain?And then he claims, he has feelings for me.What a joke!!!I remember how badly he squeezed my arms and wrist.A satisfied smile formed on my lips thinking about the slap. I am so happy that I slapped him. He deserved it.When he can
4 months later...Saanvi's POVMy teeth started chattering the moment I stepped outside. It was a cold freezing morning. The weather has changed drastically from cold to freezing, during nights especially.I wrapped the warm shawl around myself and sat inside the cab.The warmth engulfed me and I removed the shawl. Even though I was wearing a sweater and a jacket but still I was shivering.I adjusted the woolen cap on my head and took out the woven gloves from my purse to wear them.It's November already and life is going pretty fine lately. I have got a job as an article writer here. I go to the office thrice a week to type few articles which get covered by the editors.My salary is decent and as a part time job, I still check the expenses and profits of Aadekar uncles's grocery store. I and Maa have started forgetting about him. But what we can never forget is how he snatched our home. He never tried to contact me since then. I am sure he doesn't even know where I am living curren
SAANVI'S POV"Okay, Reeva. I should go now. Maa must be waiting" I said looking at my watch."Thank you for visiting me, Babe. I miss you" we both hugged each other, sadness engulfing us suddenly.Biding her adieu, I sat in the cab and blinked away my tears.Ughhh. These emotions.Why is it so hard to say goodbyes? Especially to your close friends? I got really attached to her in just a short span of time. We used to spend hours in each other's houses. Now, I don't have any friend there. By five p.m. I reached my house.I closed my eyes as the cramp suddenly hit me again. I did take the pill but as it was my first day. The pain will keep reducing and coming again."Have you locked the door?" Maa asked wrapping the shawl around herself."Yes, Maa. Now come and sit here" I said forwarding my hand which she took and sat beside me.I bought an electric heater for us as the winters are going to be unbearable here. It's just early November but the weather is already bad. In Mumbai, w
3 MONTHS EARLIER....Advik was worried for his friend who was drinking continuously. He surely hates him now for what he has done to Saanvi but seeing this vulnerable side of his friend is not settling well with Advik.Taking a deep breath, he decided to make Arjun understand for the last time.Arjun's eyes were red and drowned in sadness. He has tried everything but couldn't find Saanvi. It's like she vanished in thin air.It's been months and still no sign of her. In the day time, he shouts at his employees to reduce his frustration.In the night, he drinks to forget everything about her. But that doesn't work either."Let her leave in peace, will you? Just forget about her, Arjun. Maybe she isn't the one for you" Advik politely said in an attempt to convince his friend.Arjun was contemplating on this. He started taking Advik's words seriously. Maybe she is not written in his fate.Maybe he will never find her again."Move on from her and focus on your work. Can't you see the loss
AUTHOR'S POVNamisha's mind stopped working. Her whole form became numb. She wasn't able to think properly after the bomb her daughter dropped on her few minutes ago.She was worried when Saanvi knocked on the main door loudly and continuously. Namisha was cooking so she took a minute to open the door. Her heart fell seeing the red face of her daughter. She could clearly see the fear in her daughter's eyes.

You are going to your Maasi's house early in the morning" Namisha informed in a straight tone.Saanvi's head snapped in her direction and she gave her a confused look."What do you mean? I am not gonna leave you alone
