*Ali Pov*“Wait!” Nicole shouted and moved to stand before the door while my hands are shaking with rage.“Move away, Nicole!” I ordered her trying to breath but she didn’t move an inch.“Don’t do this, Ali.” She pleaded with her eyes, but stood there stubbornly no matter how much I am pleading with my own eyes for her to move.Today I am going to kill him and end his twisted ways. I carried the scars for all his plans, but I will not let him play like this with my son.How dare he trap Harsha in that way and torture him for so many days? He is still hurting because of my Father and I can’t calm down.“He deserves to get hit by me, Nicole.” I said not understanding why is she protecting him.“I know! But I don’t want you to waste your energy twice.” She said when I reached the door.“What do you mean?” I asked finally holding the knob by pushing her a little.“Didn’t you hear what I said?” she asked back and held my hand before I can turn it.“What?” I tried to turn it without hurting
*Nicole Pov*“He seems to be really excited about this trip.” Ali whispered after sometime while I was still reeling to the fact that they both forced me to be in this plane.“It’s a given reaction. He must be missing his Mother. It’s been a few months since he visited her, right?” I asked not glancing at him, but stared at Harsha who is sitting before us while looking outside.“And I still think I shouldn’t be a part of this trip.” I added and he completely ignored me.“I want you to meet my Mom.” Harsha simply said and I frowned at him.Why does he want me to meet his Mom? Will it not be too awkward for everyone if I joined these two? If it is just his Mom, maybe it would be fine, but the plan Ali and I made was longer than that.“You know everything and you are still fine with it?” I asked in a whisper so that Harsha will not hear.“Actually, everytime we go for a visit I feel kind of a third wheel. And this time I have to explain something which would make them angry at me as my F
*Ali Pov*I know hearing my words everyone will think the same thing. However, I just don’t want two people to think in that way.I stepped towards her, but saw Harsha running away towards the kids. I was about to move towards him, but Jhanvi stopped me and walked in his direction.“Nicole!” I said, walking near her, but she is staring at Harsha and nowhere else.“What is going on? Why is everyone serious?” we all heard a new voice and turned to see an elderly couple walking towards us.“You guys returned two days early. Was the trip not good?” Mridula asked, walking towards them.“We were just missing home.” The man replied and glanced at me.“You must have taken after your Mother. I can’t see much of your Father in you.” He said looking directly at me.“Excuse me?” I asked him, frowning and everyone looked confused.“You know his Father?” someone asked and he nodded.“You remember I was talking about my old classmate who is the king of a small island. It is his Father, I was talking
*Nicole Pov*“Thanks for your help, James.” I said, smiling at him when he finally took out the last box from my home.“No problem! But these are a lot of stuffs that are getting transported.” He commented when I followed him outside.“Yes! I don’t know whether they will be fine until they reach India.” I mumbled worriedly.“Which place in India?” he asked when the delivery guy started loading the boxes into his van.“Kolkata! You can visit anytime you want and you will love the place.” I replied and signed the needed documents.But the van started moving and immediately stopped. I frowned and glanced before it to see a two people standing before it.“What’s going on?” I mumbled and started walking towards them along with James but got dragged to the side suddenly.“Hey!” I shouted and paused when I realized who it is.I stared at him in shock while he is staring back with a blank expression, but I can see him radiating his anger for sure.“Who are you? Let her go right now.” James or
“Nipuna!” I heard his voice which seems to be a little impatient, which is everyday situation, but today it seems to be more than that.“What is it?” I asked, looking at the door from the magazine.“You don’t know what I have found.” He replied, closing the door and walked towards me.“Of course I don’t until you tell me, right?” I asked raising my eyebrow.“You don’t know how important is this.” He mumbled frowning sitting beside me.“Aahil! Will you decide to tell me what it is or will you continue to ponder on how important it is?” I asked sighing.“Are you really going to show that attitude today?” he asked staring at me.“Then what do you expect me to do? You went to my Dad’s place yesterday, but didn’t tell me and then started gloating about it today morning.” I replied in a pissed tone.“You hate political talk.” He simply said like I was even stupid for being mad at him.“He is my Dad, but you took our Daughter with you not me. Does she like this talk? No, right!” I said, glar
*Kalpana Pov*“You are doing great.” I heard someone whispering while patting my forehead with a cold cloth.“Ahhhh!” I screamed for the millionth time with tears falling from my eyes.“Keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn’t lose consciousness.” I heard the instruction from the doctor.“Maaa….” I screamed, holding the pillow tightly, wishing she was here beside me.And suddenly I wanted to cry, ignoring the pains and everything. How did I reach this stage? I want to shout at myself.“Do you really love me?” I asked, staring at him.“Yes! And we are getting married too.” He replied smiling.“But…” I mumbled frowning and turned to stare at his mother.“I could never ignore his wishes even if I try which I did.” She said sighing making me flinch.My Mom died being as their caretaker, but that was too many years ago. I just came to thank them for their consideration for the education fees they paid a few years ago for my graduation.But had to stay back on Maam’s insistence and now
*Kalpana Pov*“What? But why?” I asked, staring at him with complete shock.“It’s been too long since you returned to work.” He stated leaning back in his chair.“I was on maternity leave, Sir.” I said, frowning at him and tried to control the panic settling inside.“We can’t let you continue here.” He said shaking his head.“I came to work even one week before my delivery. And I never took leave. I took this leave because I am sure no one can come under such conditions in the world.” I said standing up.“You don’t have a choice in this, Ms.Kalpana. You worked here for less than a year. So, we can remove you if you want.” He said and pushed forward the letter.“Please, Sir! I really need this job. I have a baby now to take care of too.” I pleaded him hating to do it for something which is my right.He just stared at me with a frown and tapped on the table. Then he took out another envelope before moving it forward.“I said you are just removed from here. However, this is something whi
*Kalpana Pov*“Are you Ms.Kalpana?” someone asked, startling me when I opened my mouth near the reception desk to introduce myself.“Yeah!” I replied, turning around to see an old man smiling at me.“Great! We were waiting for you.” He said turning around and gestured with his hand to follow him.“For me?” I asked, clutching the file to my chest.“Yeah!” he replied, turning around with a frown.“But I am just a normal clerk right?” I asked, not taking a step ahead and he just stared at me.“Our clerk left the company and made sure to leave lots of work. So, we are in dire need of a clerk. Any other questions?” he asked after a few minutes and I shook my head.“Good! Now, the timings will be from morning ten to evening five.” He added again walking.“That’s it?” I asked, remembering the timings of eight to six.“Yes! Will you continue to get shocked with everything?” he asked, turning back with a frown covering his face.“I am sorry, Sir! I am just little overwhelmed.” I replied, hopin
