*Nakul Pov*“Hey! Hungry?” she asked, walking into the room and I placed the files away fed up with reading them.“Yeah! How was the show?” I asked, looking at her smiling face.“It was the most amazing. I will go and change. We both will have our dinner because I am also feeling hungry.” Saying that she was about to walk out of the room but I called her back.“Shift all your things in this room.” I said the words as an order to which she stared at me for a few seconds before looking at the cupboard.“I still remember you shouting me to get out.” She mumbled and I flinched but shook it away immediately.“Well, there was supposedly exchange of brides and I was angry, hurt and so many things.” I said and she finally turned towards me with a smile.I sighed in relief realizing she was not upset, but then frowned when she suddenly chuckled. I raised my eyebrows questioning her reacting and she moved near to me.“I was not blaming you at all. That time I was stupid to keep my things here a
*Maheshwari Pov*“James!” I heard a voice screaming his name and there was a cough added to it too.I frowned halting my moments of peeling the vegetables and waited for the voice again thinking I must have imagined it.“James!” and that made me step away from the kitchen before reaching the living room to see two people standing there with frowns along with two bodyguards having nervous expressions.“Yes?” I asked making the two people frown at me.“Who are you?” the old woman asked and I frowned back.“This is my house.” I replied, making her gasp while the woman with her frowned before glancing at the old woman.“This is my grandson’s house.” I got the words from this old woman making me frown more.“You are Nakul’s Grandma? But he doesn’t have one, right?” I asked frowning.“I am kind of like that to that sweet boy but I was talking about James.” She explained and I immediately grinned before reaching near her.“You are James Grandma? Wow! I wanted to meet you for so long.” I said
*James Pov*“James!” that’s all Grandma said while I continued to stare at the door through which Swathi just walked away.“You shouldn’t have brought Tina.” I mumbled, turning to stare at her only to see a hard expression.“You shouldn’t have hid the truth of your marriage.” She retorted and I sighed, knowing well I can never win with Grandma.“You heard what she said and I knew you wouldn’t accept for any divorce in our family name.” I explained but she just stood there.I ignored her glare and continued to repeat whatever words Swathi uttered before leaving from the house. Wishes fulfilled after two months? What the hell is she talking about?“Poor Tina! I have been talking about the marriage with you and now if she knows you are already married, then I don’t know how much devastated she will be.” Grandma’s dramatic words brought me out of my thoughts.“She is not poor Tina.” I rolled my eyes, making her move to smack me again but I stepped back.“You don’t have care for your wife
*Nakul Pov*I couldn’t help but feel relief inside staring at the ceiling while Maheshwari is already asleep in my arms. I thought this feel would never be near me again with only guilt inside.But James made sure to remove it with evidence. I closed my eyes smiling thinking about the way I left to his office in between dinner not understanding his urgent call.“James! What is this about?” I asked, reaching his room and saw another guy with him shaking James hand.That guy nodded at me and left the room while James had this grin on his face before turning the system towards me and typed something making the picture of me driving the car fill the screen.“Why are you showing me this?” I asked him frowning.“Look closely, Nakul. There is someone in the car.” He replied and I stared at the pic more closely to see he is right.“Mom!” I whispered and I should have remembered her being in this accident too leading her death but this is too much.“I forgot about her.” I mumbled and glanced a
*Nakul Pov*“Nakul!” I finally came out of my thoughts to see Maheshwari looking at me with worried eyed and I tried to smile.I really did try, but I just couldn’t not understanding each of my Mom’s behavior stumbling in my head each head. It’s as if I didn’t open their bedroom door, but a door to my locked away memories.“Will you come to work today?” she asked with a hopeful tone and I shook my head in negative.After the fire memory, I continued my life, but each memory is making me stumble back and I did a big mess out of an important deal making us lose it.“It will be good if I don’t come for a few more days until I settle myself.” I gave the same excuse and she sighed nodding.Oh god! I am vexing her with my attitude and everything. I was supposed to make her too happy and here I am sulking.I moved myself to assure her and promise that everything will be fine, but if suddenly felt like I don’t have any energy left within me.“Just remember that I love you.” Saying that she wa
*James Pov*“Now, you are going to die.” Hearing those words from the device made my blood run cold along with everyone in the room.“But let’s wait for some time.” These added words are like some sort of balm to the pain and I glanced at the man who is locating the place with more hurry than before.“Don’t fall asleep on me like that again.” We heard the annoyed voice with felt so sick and I took a step back staring at Nakul who is looking pale now.Swathi moved away from him and walked to the door where I am standing typing on her phone, but I immediately took it away from her to which she glanced up.“Don’t call your parents and get them worried. We will find her and it is better to inform them after doing that.” I said staring at her tear filled eyes.“You sure you want to find her?” she asked, taking her phone back and stared out.“What are you saying?” I asked her frowning and she immediately stared at me with complete anger.“What am I saying is how you acted like a jerk with
*Maheshwari Pov*I took a sip from the coffee and closed my eyes, feeling an inch of relief which I know will wash away after finishing this and facing the future.Why? I thought, frowning still not understanding his behavior. I would have thought he would question me or even show anger, maybe even hurt yesterday.But all he did was tucking me in his arms and caressed my scalp while not giving me a chance to say anything. I still remember how many times I opened my mouth to talk to him.However, each single time he could just hug me more tightly and make a sound to maintain silence. Why? I thought again and turned around opening my eyes before pouring the liquid in the basin.“Coffee was not good?” I gasped and turned around to see him walking into the kitchen with a blank face which he held on to from yesterday.“Do you want some?” I asked, suddenly feeling awkward and that was more painful than the confusion I had in my head.“Sure!” saying that he looked around but not at me before
*James Pov*“I didn’t do anything wrong. He killed her and I will kill his wife.” I groaned pressing my forehead with the heel of my hand.“That’s it!” I said, moving away from the glass and walked to enter the room where the bastard is being investigated.It took one week for me to get a chance of being in the investigation because of the hard officer in this city, but now even though the chance will be taken away with my interruption, I can’t stand back and listen to this crap.“He didn’t kill her! She killed two people. Actually was about to kill ten children, but he saved them.” I stated and nodded at the officer.“He is a drug addict and will keep on saying the words like a broken record. We have the complete acceptance of his crime and will send the tape of it by tomorrow. I don’t want anyone else to waste their time on this man. We had enough of this.” I added and glanced back to see the main officer walking into the room.“What is he still doing here? Yesterday I said he needs
