Author’s P. O. V.
Yash looked at the sack of clothing he needed to put in the boxes; he kept looking at Shayra’s picture once in a while and smiled at her.
“You remember, you gifted me this shirt on our 9-month anniversary?” He looked at the peach-colored shirt and smiled.
“You were heavily pregnant with Aahana and sometimes so grumpy because of the mood swings,” He said to her picture as he chuckled.
He finished keeping all the clothes in transparent boxes and put them in the corner of his closet. “I am a widower and I shall live like one,” he said to himself before he put all the white clothes on hangers; everything now in his closet was white; not even a trace of color anywhere near his side of clothes.
He did not separate Shayra’s clothes; he kept them the same, “It will feel like you are still here,” He said as he touched one of her dresses.
Taking a quick shower, he wore his white clothes; even his belt was white.
“Jaan, I need to have a word with Sherlin, I will be back,” He said to her photo before he walked out of his room and went straight to Sherlin’s room.
“Sherlin,” he called her name as his eyes---
“FUCK!” He cursed as he turned around.
“What the heck Yash!” Sherlin screamed at him as she pulled the bed sheet to cover her body. She can’t believe he just walked in on her naked.
“Don’t you have manners Yash? You are ought to knock before coming inside a lady’s room!” She quickly wore her panties but a sudden cramp made her slow her movements.
“I did not know you were changing, hell, Don’t you know one should lock the door before changing?” He was burning in anger; the image of her naked back came in front of his eyes as he dug his nails into his skin.
He was not supposed to see her like that.
“Yash, go out please,” Sherlin said in a low voice as she held her belly in pain.
“I need to have a word with you, I am waiting outside,” Yash said and walked outside leaving Sherlin alone as she sat on her knees trying to rub her belly.
A tear escaped her lips as she remembered the cause of this pain; falling from the stairs was the worse thing that happened to her. She was perfectly fine and so was her baby but she lost him.
“Mimi… Mimi,” Little Aahana caught her attention as she called Sherlin in her baby voice; aahana was smart for her age; She could walk straight, and had activities like an adult girl. You should watch her wearing a skirt and how she folds it before sitting anywhere.
Too smart for a two-year-old.
“Hey, mera baccha,” (my baby) She cooed at her as she came to her; her voice was still filled with pain but when she felt little aahana wiping her tears as smiled and kissed her forehead quickly.
“Mimi…” that was what she called Sherlin, she would not call her maasi even after telling her thousands of times that she was her aunt not her mother.
Well sweetheart now you are her step-mother
Sherlin ignored the voice in her head as she put little aahana in the middle of the bed so that she does not chase her toy and fall.
Quickly wearing her clothes this time she heard a knock on the door of her room. Making sure Aahana was safe and playing she walked towards the door and pulled it open.
“Yash,”
“Sherlin we need to have a word,” He said as she nodded and gave him space to step inside her room.
“Why did you lie to maa?” Yash asked as soon as Sherlin closed the door behind her. Folding her arms around her waist at the pain she looked at him like he was the biggest idiot of the century.
“Are you really this stupid or did your brain got wiped out with all the gel that is resting on one side of your hair?” her say attitude did not set well with him as he frowned.
“This is not—“ She cut him off as she put the hand mirror in front of him; true to her words; half of the gel in his hair was on one side.
He groaned; shayra used to make his hair every day and now he is getting difficulty in everything; even his hairstyle does not listen to him.
“Can I help?” she asked when she saw his knuckles were bleeding a little; she did not ask him the reason but started to fix his hair once he dropped his hand to his side.
“I lied so she could be free of guilt,” Sherlin said as she picked the comb from the table; standing on her toes she started fixing the gel.
Yash chose to keep quiet as he looked at her; “ why would maa have any guilt?” Yash asked.
Sherlin shook her head at him, men!
“You were forced to grow up so soon because of your past and now she could not save you from the pain of love, maybe I would not have understood it 3 years ago but now? I am a mother too, I know how it feels to see your child in pain and not able to do anything about it,” She said as she remembered the time doctors gave a shock to bring her Babyboy back to life; he left the pain, the little human went through so much pain but she could not do a thing to lessen that pain
And then he left. He gave up fighting for breaths.
Sherlin quickly wiped a tear off her cheeks before she looked at him,” If you would have told her that her son was about to commit suicide what would have happened to her old heart? She is aging Yash, we need to take care of her,” She said to Yash as he nodded.
“Thank you,” he said as she finished fixing his hair.
Yash walked out of her room as a maid came with a hot water bag, “These will help,” He said before he left the room.
“I can kill you in your own houseAnd make it seem like an accident”Author’s P. O. V.Yash walked downstairs as his mother stood up; “where are you going Yash?” she asked.“Office,” He said before he touched her feet to take her blessing. His mother kept her hand on his head as she looked at him with a worried look on his face.“maa…” He looked at her as she took a deep breath.“You should take a rest,” She said to him but he shook his head; work was the only thing that could keep his mind off things and save him from going into depression.If he was not already.“I have no more excuses to avoid work maa, I need to be there,” Yash said; he was skipping work for the last 3 months but now he does not have any other reason to avoid work.“How much will Jai handle alone? He needs my help,” Yash said as his mother nodded at him; he walked out of the mansion and sat in the car.There were a lot of media people were standing right outside of his mansion; he was not in the mood to bear with
Wo aksar puchti thi“Main mar gyi toh kya kroge?”Pata nhi tha kambhakt sach meiChor kr Chali jayegi(She used to ask,“What would you do?If I die,”Little did I knowShe would actually leave me)Author’s P. O. V.“I hope you know what you need to do,” Yash stopped as she heard Jai speaking to someone on the phone; he was confused so he opened the door as Jai turned around.“Hey…” He sound a little breathless but I let it go and nodded at him.“Whom were you talking to?” I asked as I took a seat.Jai felt his heart rate pick pace; he couldn’t let Yash know what has happened. He did not look to his left; he knows very well that Yash is the master of body language, and if anything, he will catch him within a second.“Nothing, just a man was found stealing from the factory, I was just talking to them,” he made it up quickly as Yash nodded.Jai was about to walk out of his office when Yash called his name from behind; “yeah?” He turned around still a little tense.“Cancel the usual acti
“Mere ishq ke maeine,Ishq se pucho,Ishq bhi sharma jayega,”Author’s P. O. V.“How did it happen?” The doctor looked at Kabir as he started bandaging Zoya’s hand.“I fell from the stairs, losing my balance,” She answered as Kabir nodded at her; she can’t let anyone know what happened in the house with her.The doctor finished putting a plaster on Zoya’s hand as she opened her eyes; her condition was still not stable and having a broken hand did not help either.“Don’t move your hand too much, it’s a minor fracture but it is on the wrist so I may say be careful, “The doctor instructed Kabir as he nodded; he was wearing a turtle neck; the marks on his neck were not visible, on the other hand.“I’ll take my leave,” Kabir nodded at the doctor before he walked him out, Zoya winched as she tried to move her hand, a bandage was wrapped around her head; Kabir did hit her head hard.She smirked as Kabir came back to the room with an injection in his hands. Zoya gulped, he knowingly gave her
Author’s P. O. V.Yash entered his room and was greeted by the site of his beautiful Jaan waiting for him as always; he smiled at her photos before taking the blazer off his body.He sat on the bed before he sighed; getting close to Sherlin was hard for him, especially when they hated each other’s guts.Getting into the shower he let the warm water run down his body as he closed his eyes remembering the day Shayra started to behave differently with him.“Yash get up!” Shayra screamed at him before she opened the curtains to let the bright light in. Yash frowned, she used to wake him up with so much care what happened to her today?“Jaan?” He sat up straight before he rubbed his eyes to get rid of the sleep in his eyes. “Yes?” he asked as he looked at her fixing her dress in front of the mirror. “Are you going somewhere?” now that was the biggest mistake he did. But she did not answer and ignored his existence. “Jaan?” he called her as she finally looked at him; if he was not upset
Author's P. O. V. Getting out of his thoughts, Yash walked to Sherlin's room to see Ahana. The little girl already lost her mother, she should not feel her father too does not care for her anymore.Shayra left him with a responsibility and he ought to fulfill it, he knows how hard life is without a father, Yash at least had his mother to support him and here Ahana was fighting with everything alone.Knock! Knock! Yash waited patiently for her to open the door but even after a few minutes she didn't, he knocked again Knock! Knock!Sherlin still did not open the door, and Yash grew worried for his daughter as well as Sherlin."Sherlin? Sherlin?" He banged his fist on the door as a weak voice came from the other side of the door."Yes, Yash?" Yash pressed his lips in a thin line, at least she could have opened the door."I need to see Ahana," Yash said."Umm... She is with maa... I put her to sleep before we went to KKN, " she said from the other side of the door as Yash nodded but wh
Author’s P. O. V.Yash held her legs tightly as she started whimpering; Yash looked at her tear-stained face; she was still wearing the black dress from earlier the only difference was; this time it was not perfect in its place to cover her breasts.Half of her breasts were slipped out of them, Yash sighed and pulled the covers above the bed and put them on Sherlin’s shoulders who clenched onto the covers as she looked at him; her eye makeup was all over her face.Yash moved a little away from her before he went to the bed side and opened the first drawer; Shayra made it a rule for everyone to have a first aid box in the room that too in the first drawer.He picked up the ointment and some wet wipes before he went back to sit beside her. Her eyes were still full of tears when he gently pulled her arm to him and cleaned it with the help of wet wipes.Sherlin hissed as the pain started to sink in but Yash did not make an attempt to lessen the pain; he learned only from her that only pai
Author’s P. O. V.“No!” Sherlin screamed but she was once again pulled back by her towards him as he started getting closer to her lips. “Once I take you, you will satisfy the customers,” He said as She gulped; she never wanted this. “get away from me,” She tried to starch his face but he slapped her hard. Her ear started ringing and before she knew what was happening to her she passed out once again. .“Please let me go, my mum thinks I am still at the house, she needs me, she can't even cook on her own, she is sick!” Sherlin cried as she joined her hands in front of the man who raped her earlier; her clothes were in their place but she knew, he did her. “ahhh… what a sad story,” He said as he looked at the bed; he just took her virginity on the very same bed; it had blood marks on it. Making her gulp; she did not want to go through all that once again. “You may go, you can even keep your phone with you, you may even continue your studies too but I have a condition…” he said a
“I am not the hero of your story,”“and I might be in love with the villain” Author’s P. O. V.Sherlin was leaning on Yash’s shoulder; she was sobbing as she told the entire nightmare to him; his heart clenched in pain; she was betrayed by him and now she is struck in the past that is why all these wired dreams were hunting her.“Did any of these ever happened in real?” he asked as Sherlin wiped her tears.“No,” She whispered shaking her head.Yash nodded, “Hey… it was just a nightmare, nothing but imagination, nothing happened okay? You are safe, you are here,” Yash said as he tried to make her feel better.“But what if he comes back? What if he tried to stanch everything I have, what if he took away Aahna from us!” She cried even more as Yash made a fist of his hand.The thought of losing his daughter made me mad; he already lost Shayra, and he can’t lose his daughter too. He put his hand on her cheek before he wiped her tears with the help of his thumb.She stared into his eyes; t
