Veer’s POV
The call I received fromHema this morning lifted my spirit to seventh heaven. I can’t believe Nadiarejected Sidd’s proposal and accepted mine. I am more than ready to face Siddtoday. I can’t wait to see his bitter expression. I was done getting ready likea target-getter and headed out.Upon reaching the studio,I saw Nadia standing in the compound. She was fidgeting, looking around likeshe was waiting for someone. She looks even more cute when agitated. She wasputting on a black fishnet, revealing her black bra and a knee-length blackskirt. Her all-black suits her fair skin. Her hair was swept aside. She lookedmore gorgeous and my heart slowly picked a race.“Sir, we are here,” mydriver’s announcement jolted me back to the reality that I had to alight fromthe car.“Oh,” I mumbled andopened the door.Nadia’s POVI couldn’t stay inside. Ihad seen Siya earlier and she claimed Veer wasn’tVeer’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
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
Nadia’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 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 why
Nadia’s POVThere was an excruciatingpain waving across my heart as I dragged my feet on the cold street. I held myhigh heels in my hand like a mad woman. My hair cascaded over my shoulders withsome strands framing my forehead but damp from my sweat and tears. The windsurged into my body, making goosebumps grow on my skin. The sky was starry butno moon. The sounds of people chattering from a shop couldn’t pull my eyes toit. The smell of junk food filled my nose, but it never made my mouth waterylike before. I was overwhelmed.How could Veer cheat onme? Did he pay me back for sleeping with Sidd while engaged to him? I wouldtake it as a payback, but my heart was still pained. Yeah, I overheard hisconversation with Siya.FlashbackI was bored at home. Veerdidn’t come to visit as usual but he called me to tell me he was busy. Idecided to pay him a surprise visit. Vaani opened the door for me and told meVeer
Veer’s POVTwo days later. I wasbusy in my room, settling one and two deals on my laptop. These past weeks havebeen hectic with Zeehan missing and Sidd comatose. If I decide to do all thework at hand, I would be comatose too, honestly. “Hmph!” I sighed, thinkingabout Nadia. When she said she couldn’t wait for us to get married, I wasbaffled. I thought she was going to leave me for Sidd since she had been drawnto him in the past few days. Could it be because he took a bullet for Zeehan?Well, Nadia doesn’t know yet but I had planned with Sidd.FlashbackI stepped out of thehouse, about to enter the car to go to Nadia’s place when Sidd drove in. I wasboth angry and surprised that he visited me. If he was here to confront me, Iwould have fought him till one of us got knocked out.“What are you doing here?”I growled, shutting my car door and casting a glare dagger at him.“Calm down, okay? I’m nothere to figh
