Nadia’s POV
I woke up and didn’t seeHema. Where could she have gone this early? I yawned, stretching my handsabove my head while heading to the kitchen. Reaching the living room, the doorclicked open and I turned my eyes to it. Hema walked in and I smiled. The smileimmediately faded when I saw Veer trail behind her. He closed the door gently.“Good morning, Nadia,”Hema greeted me with a warm smile.I smiled back at her,ignoring Veer. “Good morning, Hema. You didn’t tell me you would be out early,”I said as she moved closer to me.“You were fast asleep, Ididn’t want to disturb you,” she replied. She leaned into my ear. “It was amistake, please forgive him,” she added with a reassuring smile and left thetwo of us. I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms.“Nadia?” Veer calledlowly, closing the distance between us. “I am sorry. I wouldn’t do anythingto…”“I know. You don’t haveto apologize, I know whyNadia’s POVThe thought of Sidd outof danger and waking us soon filled my stomach with joy. I constantly foundmyself smiling, but still, I was sad deep down. If he wakes up, we will beback to how we used to be, hating and avoiding. It makes me sad.I was seated on the couchin the living room. Zeehan had his head on my lap while I ran my hands throughit.“Mummy?” Zeehan suddenlycalled, but didn’t raise his head. He seemed to be enjoying my fingers in hishair. “Yes, baby,” I replied.“Can’t I see my realDaddy?” he asked.My stomach flipped and myheart leaped to my throat. “W-what d-do you mean?” I fumbled.“I mean, if my dad isdead, can’t I see his picture? I just want to know him,” he said.Should I tell him?Doesn’t he deserve to know the truth now? If I didn’t tell him, sooner or later,he would still find out and get mad at me again. “Baby?” I called softly. “YourDaddy is… your daddy is
Nadia’s POVI ambled hand in handwith Veer down the street. He was keeping me company with a song. He sings sowell and I found myself melting at his voice. I was lost after some minutes,thinking of Sidd again. After that small gesture the last time, he has remainedthe same. I wonder how deep the bullet had penetrated his heart. Veer squeezed my hand,drawing my attention back to him. “Are you fine?” he asked, looking at me.I smiled and nodded.“Yeah, you sing so beautiful. Thank you,” I said.“Why are you thanking me?I am just doing my duty,” he said. I raised an eyebrow. “You don’t know being afiancé comes with lots of duties?”I laughed, leaningagainst his shoulder. “What duties?”“The duty of making youhappy and laugh like you are doing now,” he said.“You are just funny,” Ichuckled. “So, dutiful fiancé, I am hungry,” I faked a cry.“What? Then I am sostupid of a fiancé not to notice,” he
Veer’s POVI sat face to face withSiya in the living room. She came to visit me. We have been silent for a whilenow. I don’t know how to begin. I still love Nadia, no doubt. But I have to becommitted to Siya because she is carrying my child. She decided to make thefirst move as she came to sit beside me on the loveseat.“I… I’m sorry,” shemumbled, holding my hand. “It was all my fault. I shouldn’t have been stupidenough to reject your love in the first place. And I shouldn’t have takenadvantage of you when you were intoxicated,” she expressed. I couldn’t help butlaugh. “Veer?”“Sorry, my bad,” Ichuckled. “But it’s funny. Saying you took advantage of me sounds hilarious,” Isaid and burst out laughing again.She cuffed me on theshoulder. “Stop joking around.”“Fine, I would be seriousnow,” I chuckled and composed myself. “You know what, Siya. Truth be told, Idon’t feel anything for you anymore. When y

He fell on me, locking his gaze on mine. I felt my heart stop for a moment, lost in his twinkling, stardust-filled eyes. He leaned closer, he was going to kiss me. I got that. Something has to quench the fury of heat and electricity that sparked at our breath, catching up and blending in smoothly. I closed my eyes and our lips met while the thought of the door and the key that got us in this position flew out of our heads. At that moment, there was only me and him. He pressed his body against mine in an undeniable force, as if longing to become one. My hands found their way to the back of his neck, pulling him closer, wanting to feel every inch of him against me while his hands caressed my waist. The intensity of our bodies pressed against each other sent shivers down my spine, igniting a fire within me that could only be quenched by his touch. Our lips moved in perfect synchronization, each kisses more passionate and fiery than the last. I could taste the raw emotions that consumed us
***“Hey, madam!” I heard the husky voice of the bus conductor and I opened my eyes. “Aren’t you dropping?” he queried. I looked around me, everyone had gone out except me.“Oh, sorry,” I apologized and got down from the vehicle. I trekked a few distances and I was faced with the small company where I work as an accountant. I hurried inside and Amanda, my best friend flitted to me, holding my hand and pulling me along.“Why are you late again, Nadia?” Amanda queried in a low tone, careful not to be heard by others.“What else makes me wake up late, Mandy? The usual of course,” I responded, overwhelmed by the situation. For the past two months, I have turned into a perpetual latecomer just for a stupid wet dream.“The same wet dream again?” Amanda asked, stopping to face me with her arms crossed over her chest.“Exactly,” I sighed with deflated shoulders.“This is becoming serious, Nadia, come on, you need to do something about it, you can’t just continue living like this,” Amanda state
I got Zeehan some snacks and waited for Amanda to return from the washroom. Finally, she came along. “Were you giving birth in there?” I snapped.“Why? Are you going out?” she asked, moving to Zeehan. “Hey, my little boy. How are you?” she crouched in front of Zeehan.“Hello, Aunt Amanda,” Zeehan greeted.“That’s my boy. Will you give me your biscuit,” she pouted her lips, bringing forward her palm. Zeehan placed one pack of his biscuits into her palm. “Aww! My baby gave me a biscuit. Thank you. You can eat them, okay?” she returned the biscuit and ruffled his hair.“I’m going to see the boss, he called me,” I spoke out.“What happened again?” she asked, standing up.“Who knows?” I shrugged. “Watch out for my baby,” I said and turned to the staircase.I reached my boss’s office. He was standing close to the door. The moment I shut the door, he caged me between his arms, pinning me to the wall.“What are you doing, sir?” I asked, trying to wriggle free.“How come you never told me? How
Nadia's POV “Why now, Mandy?” I asked lowly. “It’s going to break me down,” I expressed. Sadness drove my voice and my heart became heavy with the weight of pain.“You have to tell me, Nadia. I’m your best friend, you shouldn’t hide it from me, please,” she begged. Her eyes glowed innocently, forcing a smile on my face. I sighed and adjusted on the couch again. I nodded.“It all started about nine years ago. I was still fourteen years old then,” I began. “I was a fan of Bollywood. No day passed without me getting stuck in front of the TV, watching my favorite Bollywood movie. A new season movie began and there he was. I was captivated by his good look as well as the role he played in the movie. I couldn’t express the joy that filled my heart and the imagination that struck my head. Seeing him come closer to his fellow female actors twisted my stomach. My feelings remained a mystery but I knew it was something special and I needed to hold on to it. On one fateful day, I took hold of my
