Saving Grace 55. Knowing him.
Ananya’s povI was waiting for Veer in his office while he had gone to attend his meeting. I was at peace now that everything was falling in place. I had ordered food for us wishing that it wouldn’t take long for Veer to complete his meeting otherwise the food would get cold.My phone rang in the silent office making me jump in fright leading me to hit the side table and the files placed on it fell. I ignored the ringing of my phone and started placing those files back together in place.My eyes caught a particular heading and the curiosity in my body forced me to peek into it. Though it was wrong for me to go through Veer’s office files behind his back but the title was so much of importance for me to not look at.My breath caught in my throat when I went through the contents of the file. Everything made sense to me then, all the questions of mine were answered when I looked into the contents of it. It was clear to me that he had a motive behind that deal but now that I got a clearer
Saving Grace 56. encircled in problems.
Veer’s povIt surprised me how life works. I thought a true man writes his own life but clearly I was wrong. I remember my Nanu telling me that one day I would find a girl who would turn my world upside down.And all I did was just laugh at that time. But now that I looked at the woman in my arms I wondered if he was true. Surely he was. My wife was the only woman who was on my mind and my body all the time. I expected her to pity me as an orphan when I told her about my past but all she did was cry for my pain and curse my parents.Even my mother.Mostly people who knew about my past pitied her but a part of me as a son was angry on her for leaving her children in this world to live a life of an orphan. The person who truly understood me without even telling me was my wife.The conversation with Anu in the office had an impact on her. She was quiet since she came home and wasn’t talking to me. She responded to me though but it was like she was holding herself back. It was true that I
Saving Grace 57. Peace in the chaos
Ananya's pov It was true that I hated Tanya but knowing that she was the person who might have helped Rehan escape mixed that hatred with anger. I couldn’t believe that she would do so much.“That doesn’t matter how I know that Rehan was last seen with Tanya Shrivastav. I want him behind the bars as soon as possible.”Veer barked into the phone. Ever since I told him that Tanya might be the person helping Rehan it felt like there was switch to his anger. He busted.Even Nani was worried.I walked to him where he was barking orders at his poor detective, who must have scared to death by my angry man and snatched his phone away.“Daniel, this is Ananya. Find Rehan but don’t overwork yourself. Please take care.”And then I cut the call, only to see the furious face of my man glaring daggers at me. Holding his hands I wrapped his arms around me and placed my chin on his shoulder, his arms wrapped around me but the tension did not leave his body.“We’ll find him soon and for that you need
Saving Grace 58. Rehan is gone.
Ananya's pov Rehan’s death was the shock in the family. It was his funeral today. Mama and Mami were inconsolable and Sarah was mourning over her brother’s death. Veer and Nani on the other hand were completely silent. They were doing all the rituals that required to be done but I knew there something going on.Veer was sitting on the sofa, a five o’clock shadow marring her face, giving him a regal look. Placing my hands on the either side of his head, I pressed my fingers to his forehead, applying pressure. He didn’t say anything but I could see the stiffness in his posture had started to loosen up. After few minutes he stopped me from doing anything and grabbing my wrist he sat me down beside him, holding me to his chest.“What are you worried about Veer?”My voice held concern but I got no reply, instead a quick peck on my forehead and a tightened hold on me.“Nothing important.”When in reaction he got was my death glare he chuckled slightly and then sighed heaving a deep breathe
Saving Grace 59. Mumbai
Ananya's pov “Anu, I am going to office and would come early. A business associate has thrown a party for his fifth marriage anniversary and we need to attend it. Be ready by 7 tonight.”Veer’s voice rang in my ears while I pulled the duvet over my head because the devil husband of mine had removed the blackout curtains and was ready in his crisp suit looking as handsome as ever.I squinted my eyes open at him in annoyance while he smiled softly at me. He threw rob over me and walked out of the room taking his phone with him.“I am making breakfast, come down in 10.”A groan of disapproval escaped my lips while I dragged my lazy ass out of the bed to the bathroom to freshen up. It had been few months since we shifted to Mumbai and things have been going well since then.Sarah and Nani were in London, while Mamu and Mami are in Punjab and Veer and I have been living here in Mumbai and to be honest I have never been happy.We have the whole house to ourselves with no disturbance of any
Saving Grace 60. A date to remember.
Ananya's pov The whole day I spent with Veer making up for the lost time with my husband. And no, we did not made love or had sex for once in the whole time. Instead we spent the whole day decorating our house, making it more homey watching movies and then lazing around.“We need to decorate the house.” He said looking around the walls. “I think it is fully decorated and there is no need for any makeover of something.” The penthouse was pretty much aesthetic if you would ask me. It was definitely very cool and I liked when I visited it the first time. “Yeah, I know. But it doesn’t feel like home.” A smile graced my lips when he talked to me and continued looking around. And that’s how we started decorating our penthouse giving it a homey feel by placing our favorite flowers in the flower vase, hanging some family pictures besides the stairs wall that led to our room. Veer placed a picture of us at his study table with me kissing on his cheek and smiling softly with his eyes close
Saving Grace 61. Phoenix
Ananya’s pov I woke to the warmth of my man, and his breathes hitting my face, with my whole body over him. How did I end up on bed from the railing, I didn’t bother answering the question popping up in my head. I took my sweet time looking at the beautiful creation made for me. “It’s rude to stare, Anu.” A smile crept its way to my lips while I pressed my lips to his cheek, giving him a big smooch, popping a dimple on his face. In turn I was turned on my back with him over my chest, cushioning it as a pillow, he went to sleep again. “I want to sleep. Don’t disturb.” A warning left from his mouth as he pulled the comforter over us. I smiled and cuddled to him, tightening my hold over him. A few minutes later of closing my eyes, I realized I couldn’t sleep anymore, so I left the bed, with so much difficulty pushing Veer off me. I had ordered us breakfast, a proper English breakfast for my husband while heavy Indian breakfast for me. I went under the shower while lathering my body
Saving Grace 62. Karma
Veer’s pov Communication with Anu was always a different kind of thrill, because her reactions are always unexpected to me in most of the circumstances. I thought she would cry listening to my sob story and might even pity my childhood, but instead I got the title of phoenix. The amount of trust, love and care she has for me always scared me. The more her expectations and belief in me increased, the more my pride grew but at the same the fear of disappointing her as well. It like a vertical lines of a railway track, they go side my side but never meet each other. “Come on, let’s have dinner.” I said moving away from Anu kissing her cheek softly. We sat at the dining table having dinner our conversation moving around our days, and some funny stories of my dear wife playing pranks on her friends or brothers that had us laughing out loud. We sat at the balcony of our room looking at the city lights of the busy city when Anu questioned me out of the blue that threw me off. “Do you
