Chapter 2
NOTE: It's the story Ridhima's mother is telling her so it has nothing to do with Ridhima.
Being the singing sensation of India, Rudraksha and Randhawa, the name is enough for anyone to go crazy. People of every age are a fan of his melodious voice...
"Sir, you have a show in half an hour." His PA Natasha informed him.
"Yes Natasha I know, give me some time" Rudra replied nonchalantly.
Natasha nodded before leaving him alone. Rudra sighed and thought about the upcoming meeting with his father. His father is really angry with him. It has been 7 days since he last met him or went to his home for that matter.
His father Mr. Pratap Randhawa is a very strict and orthodox man. He doesn't like his son's carelessness. He hates the fact that his son is a singer instead of being a well-known businessman. Pratap Randhawa has always dreamt that one day his only son will take over his empire but his son has disappointed him greatly. Pratap Randhawa is a person who believes in power, status and money and thinks life is incomplete without these. On the contrary, his son does not believe in such things. Beauty and perfection holds high status in his books of ethics while money and status are just nothing to him.
"Damn it. I will go insane with this drama." Rudra cursed while checking his phone as he read the text sent by his father asking him to come home as soon as possible.
Ignoring his father’ commands he performed his show and as always rocked it with his singing.
"Sir, won't you go back to your home?" Natasha asked him
"No. First I need to go somewhere else before going home." Rudra replied
"As you wish sir" Natasha said and left
Rudra drove his car towards the orphanage he runs in Mumbai. Not only in Mumbai but he owns orphanages and old age homes at many places in the country. Although he tries his best to manage them, there are few of his properties he never visited because of his busy schedule.
As soon as he entered the orphanage, cheerful voices of cute bunnies rang in his ears. "Rudra Bhaiya!" All the kids of the orphanage shouted enthusiastically while running towards him. He opens his arms to hug them but there’s one kid he loved very much.
"Why didn't you come earlier? I missed you so much" Tisha a 10 years old girl asked in a gesture as she can't talk.
"Awe my baby I'm sorry for being late. You know na I'm so much busy but see I still came." Rudra replied in a gesture with a puppy dog face. Seeing him in this state no one will believe he is the same superstar Rudraksha. It is as if he became an entirely different personality with these kids.
"Children leave him alone. Let him breathe properly. You all are suffocating him" Zoya their caretaker scolded the kids to which the latter said sorry.
"Hey, it's OK. I love them a lot. I don't feel suffocated when they hug me" Rudra said and all the kids smiled. Rudra spent time with them and totally forgot about his father and his calls.
He mostly talked with Tisha as not everyone knows sign language so no one talks to her. She feels lonely that's why whenever he comes here he spends most of his time with Tisha. She is the reason that he learnt this language.
After this, he went back to his parents' home.
"So finally you came, got time to meet your parents?" Pratap asked his son while eyeing him up and down.
"Dad, I was busy, that's why I couldn't come, don't make it a big issue" Rudra gritted his teeth trying hard to maintain his voice neutral.
"Don't forget you're talking with your father Rudraksha" Pratap reprimand him
He never called him Rudra. It's always Rudraksha.
"Why are you scolding my child?" His mother asked
"Rathi doesn't interfere in our matters. It's your love that has made him like this. You're the one who supported him to be a singer” Pratap said to his wife
"He is our only son. You should also support him. Anyways I'm not interfering anymore." Rathi said. Rathi is beyond beautiful. She is what we call beauty with brains and a heart of gold which is very rare.
At this age, she is still beautiful and can give competition to other girls. Pratap married her basically because of her beauty and father's status. He never loved her but never cheated on her as well. And why will he need to cheat? When Rathi was a submissive wife? Or you can say a doll whose key is in his hand. Connecting with her increased his power which perked his status and money as well. She also gave him a capable son.
But Rathi being the naive girl was head over heels for her husband. She was ready to do anything to please him. But when time came for her to choose between her son's happiness and her husband's ego she chose her son.
"Rudraksha, do you remember why I agree to let you be a singer?" Pratap spat the word singer like it burned his tongue.
"Yes I do. How can I even forget" Rudra said with a bitter smile.
His father was totally against his wish to become a singer but he accepted it in the condition that in future when he will take some decisions for Rudraksha to which he is bound to abide by.
"Rudraksha, do you remember Sikha? My friend's daughter?" Pratap asked him
"Yes. What about her?" Rudra asked him narrowing his eyes
He knew very well where his father was going with this conversation.
"Actually I like her very much. She is perfect for you and our family. I have fixed your marriage with her." Pratap said without any hesitation
"What?" Rudra practically shouted on confirmation of his suspicion.
"Yes, you heard right. Right after one week you will be engaged to her. Meet her and talk to her. She is a very good girl." Pratap said
Rudra was gawking at him. His father is dropping the bomb on him like it’s nothing. But Rudra doesn't have any choice except accepting it because his denial can affect his career. His father can do anything.
"Fine, I'm ready to get married to her but don't expect me to love her" Rudra said and went to his room.
Chapter 3It's the day when Rudraksha is about to get engaged with Sikha.He was least interested in it. He was only doing it as a duty but for Sikha it's anything but Duty. She is on cloud nine and why won't she? After all, she is getting married to the person she secretly loves and admires.Sikha is Pratap's best friend's daughter so she was associated with Rudra's family from her childhood. She always noticed Rudra whenever she was in the same place with him but Rudra never paid any attention to her. He always seemed too lost in his own dreamland.Sikha didn't mind it as she knew Rudra doesn't like to be with girls or in any relationship for that matter.And when her father told her that he is planning to get her married with Rudra her joy knew no bounds. It was a dream come true for her.She is getting ready in a peach colour lehenga for her engagement. Be
Chapter 4"So Rudra How's your work going?" His uncle, Ram, asked him"It's going good uncle, just need a little break from everything but still I have few shootings here" Rudra replied while sipping his juice."Bhai will you go with me to the orphanage?" Saumya asked him"Hmm, I will. I was thinking about the same. You said it before I could." Rudra smiled"All children will go mad when they will see the Great Rudraksha Randhawa. You know they all are your fans, they love you very much. I'm only waiting to see their reaction" Saumya replied happily.After their breakfast, they left for the orphanage run by Rudra. Thanks to his busy schedule, Rudra didn't get time to visit it at least once in like 5 years."Bhai wait. Stop the car, we need to take chocolates for them" Saumya said"I already had it with me as I said I was planning on
Chapter 5From now on whenever Durva is saying something it's in sign language as she can't talk. I won't mention it all the time.Durva looked at Rudra and her smile vanished. She slowly came towards them and bid hello to Saumya."Durva as you know his identity, Rudraksha Randhawa my brother and he understands sign language." Saumya said"Hi, you have a unique name Durva" Rudra said hesitatingly"Thanks" Durva replied"I heard many things about you from Saumya. I'm really impressed by your selflessness." Rudra said admiring her will to help children."It's not my selflessness. I love this kid, that's why I spend time with them." Durva replied"Saumya can you bring some things from the car I have left it on the back seat" Rudra saidSaumya nodded and left them alone."Durva I'm really sorry for what I said that time
Chapter 6Rudra is not happy with the arrangement of him getting married early. He is trying to accept the fact that he was getting married to her anyway, no matter the time. Two months or one month doesn't matter."Bhai what happened? You're looking stressed" Saumya asked"My wedding is postponed. I don't want it yaar" Rudra said"And why is that?" Saumya asked"Because I don't love Sikha this marriage is a burden on me and" Rudra stopped in the middle. He himself isn't aware why he is behaving like this."Bhai why don't you go and meet Durva and the kids? After all, you will leave soon" Saumya suggested. Rudra didn't like the idea of leaving. He doesn't want to leave from here and he isn’t aware of the reason why?"What will I say to her? That I'm going away because of my wedding?" Rudra asked"It's the truth isn't it?" Saumya asked hi
Chapter 7Koi baat nahi agarIshq meri qubool nahi tujhkoPar mere ishq kiTauheen na karnaKehke meri Bhul isko~Ankita Ghosh(it's fine if you don't accept my love but don't insult it calling my mistake)"You what Bhai? Like her? Or love her?" Saumya asked him making his eyes widen"What? Have you lost your mind? Me and love her?" Rudra said like saumya cracked a joke but from inside he knows what he feels for her."Then why did it affect you if she is dating someone or not? She has a life and she will also live her life isn't it?" Saumya’s retort made Rudra shut his mouth. He has no answer to her question."Bhai you know I can read people at least the one whom I knew and loved. You're denying your feelings. Don't do anything that will ruin three lives." Saumya saidAnd it's like he remembered that he is getting marri
Chapter 8"Then I'm giving you freedom Rudra. Go back to her." Sikha said, making him a shock.Rudra can't believe his ears. He knows that Sikha is a type of girl who doesn't like to share her things or leave them. How can she leave him this easily?"If you're joking then let me tell you it's a very vulgar joke" Rudra said"And why do you think that I'm joking? I know that it's difficult for you to believe me but I'm saying the truth. I will talk to our parents about this. They won't make any fuss. You can marry Durva whom you love" Sikha said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes"Thank you so much sikha, for understanding me and my love. You don't know what you did for me. I can't wait to introduce you to Durva. I'm sure you will like her as well." Rudra said with enthusiasmAfter sometime, Sikha left for her home. She didn't cry anymore. She went to her room
Chapter 1"Hey Vidushi, what are you doing here alone?" Ananya asked"Nothing just sitting here and cursing that cheater" Vidushi replied with a faint sneer playing on her lips."Huh? What does it mean?" Ananya asked"That jerk Rohan cheated on me, with that bloody Rita" Vidushi gritted out with clenched teeth."Ohh, I told you to not believe him. He is after all a play boy and just can't keep his dick inside his pants" Ananya said shrugging, knowing too well about the 'character' of Rohan."Yeah I now understand it better. Actually you know, it's good that he cheated on me. I was going to break up with him anyway. He isn't my type. I already lost my faith from love long ago. Don't know why but I never believed in it." Vidushi said"Vidushi why don't you believe in love? See I'm so happy with Virat. We are so much in love" Ananya said with dreamy eyes as if recallin
Chapter 2"Mr. Angihotri, the girl you have bought with yourself, has a deep injury in her head. So there are high chances she will forget about her past life" the doctor informed him"Can't you do anything about it? I mean won't she be able to remember anything?" Vidhan asked him hesitantly."There are chances she can but everyone isn't that lucky to get their memories back. We can't give you any assurance." the doctor shrugged as a matter of fact.Vidhan doesn't know what to do or think about it. The girl is in this state because she wanted to save him. It's another thing that he was there to save her.Vidhan came out from the doctor's cabin and sat outside. He informed his mother about the incident and was strictly instructed by her to not to leave the girl alone.Vidhan smiled thinking about his mom and her always ready to help attitude.After 3 hours the girl g
