Niharika's POV
I left my office early as I had an appointment with my beautician today. My heartbeat was racing heavily the whole time. I was in the dilemma whether I should go for it or not. I called upon Sapna and told her about her off for both Saturday and Sunday. I wondered if whatever I was doing was correct but I realized that I wanted it.
Without thinking much, I got my whole body waxed for the first time. A unique sense of sensation was filled up in my body upon the thought of planning this up for tomorrow. Pretending to read the magazine, while my pedicure and manicure was done,I wondered how he would react upon seeing me. Will he love me as I am? What if I am not good at his expectations? Something bubbled up inside me.
I went shopping, precisely lingerie shopping today again, for the first time in my life. I purchased a sheer purple piece and a matching loose robe with it. I wanted to be sexy and presentable in front of me. I wanted everything to be spe

Arpit's POVI wondered who could be behind all this. What kind of storm is approaching in our lives? I sped my car and rushed towards her home. Reaching at her house, I rang the main door. I was surprised when no answer came. My heartbeat began to race and I wondered if something bad was coming up. I called her over the phone only to find no response. I called her again. After calling her thrice, she finally picked up the phone."Niharika, are you fine? Why aren't you picking up my call?" I said immediately in a worried tone. I was already shocked today."I am fine. I was in the shower. You seem worried. What happened?" She asked as she heard my voice."Open the door, I will tell." I said to her, seemingly devastating.She hurriedly came downstairs and opened the door. I could hear her footsteps. She had draped her purple colored towel around her. She placed her arms around me and asked, "What happened, baby?" I entered the house bolting the door with o

Niharika's POVI was utterly devastated and afraid of the consequences if the pictures were released anywhere. I felt grateful to the lord to have Arpit in my life. He was so very understanding and rational. He literally didn't even judge me for once. I didn't even once plead to him to listen that it's not me. It was him who consoled me saying that it's not me and things will be fine. My man is indeed the best. I sat there thinking about everything and appreciating his personality traits as he fed me the breakfast.The doorbell rang. I was embarrassed to face Raghav or anyone. I couldn't believe these people would look at the vulgar pictures of someone with my face on it. I clutched the yellow envelope in my hands which was lying on the sofa and hid it in the kitchen.Raghav had come in with Shristi. He saw my pale face and looked at Arpit with a confused expression. He sat on one of the accent chairs and said, "Madam, what's the matter?"Ignoring him, I aske

I can still adjust with a past.Wiping my tears, I tried to maintain my composure as I got off the car in front of the gate of University Girls Hostel. I saw Raghav and Arpit sitting nervous in a cafe beside the hostel as Shristi reached out to call Raghav. It was already evening as the hustle-bustle of the campus seemed to be quietened.We went inside and sat in front of them.Arpit and Raghav were both looking at each other. Raghav pressed the palm of Arpit signalling to speak up."Nih.., Niharika, I..I.. am sorry. It's all.. it's all because of me." Arpit said, stuttering as he controlled his tears.My world shattered at once. My worst fear was in front of me.Fighting my tears, hiding my emotions and maintaining my composure, I

Niharika's POVI was finally relaxed at the turn of events. I was fortunate enough to have Arpit in my life, I realized.The chain of my thoughts were broken, when I heard Arpit's devastated voice."I am sorry, Niharika. You had to face too much because of me. I am sorry."I moved out of the café after making the payments, ignoring this idiot completely. He followed me in the parking lot. He was in deep thoughts and I was indeed, irritated at him.I sat on the passenger seat of my car and gave him the keys. I didn't want to drive. I wanted to share his company.He sat in the car and cupped my face with his trembling hands, apologizing again."Why the f*ck are you apologizing for something for which you aren't even at fault? I won't be annoyed at you because of that psycho." I screamed at him."You trusted me without judging me at once, matters me, dear. You never gave me any chance to get annoyed. The encounter with psycho doesn't matt

Niharika's POVI wished the lord that everything should be fine as his mom opened the door. He announced, "Mom, misunderstanding is clear. Please let us in. We need to tell you."I believed he did so because he wanted his mom to keep calm. His sister, Meehika chirped from inside, "O! Thank God. Mom was upset so called us over. Come, spill the beans."We entered his home when I saw his brother-in-law Arnav sitting on the sofa. Yash was sleeping in his arms. Poor boy, he finally gets to spend time with his dad, my mind wondered. Meehika just came over and gave me a hug, "Are you fine, Niharika?"Nodding my head in affirmation, I wondered if she was the first to ask me this. My would-be mother-in-law was giving a silent treatment while Arnav had picked his son and taken him inside."Come on, sit and stay calm. I will get water for you." Meehika said, turning towards the kitchen only to find his husband bringing us some juice and snacks.I inwardly sm
