The new dawn rose, the only sounds being her Veda's breathing and the chirps of the various birds outside. The weather was beautiful, with a few clouds in the sky and the warm sunlight coming through the trees beautifully.

Veda stood in front of the mirror, gently drying her hair with the warmth of the dhuni, the soft flames dancing beneath the wooden frame. The ancient method, passed down through generations, was a ritual she cherished from a young age, passed down to her from her late grandmother. She closed her eyes, letting the warmth seep into her scalp as the feeling of calm filled her insides.

It almost felt therapeutic.

As she tended to her hair, Veda's thoughts drifted to her conversation with Vidyut. His words still echoed within her: "Love is a beautiful emotion, but the person you're giving your love to should be deserving of it." She replayed their conversation, finding solace and a sense of strength in Vidyut's words.

    Adyant woke up, feeling an unusual sense of lightness. He turned to his side, expecting to see Veda's beautiful smiling face, but she was already up and getting ready in the bathroom."Veda?" he called out, trying to sound casual.The bathroom door opened slowly, and Veda stepped out, her expression neutral."Good morning," she said, her voice lacking the warmth from the previous night as if she had forgotten everything which had happened last night Adyant felt a pang of disappointment, but couldn't quite put his finger on why."Good morning," he replied back, trying to gauge her mood.Veda began to get ready, her movements swift and efficient with no expression on her face.Adyant watched, sensing a distance he couldn't explain but all he felt was a sense of emptiness inside him again."Veda, can we talk?" he asked, sitting up in bed.She paused, her eyes meeting him for a brief moment as he looked at him for a minute, her expression unreadable."Not now, Adyant. I have to get the k

    Adyant stepped out of his office building, greeted by the warm evening sun. The day had been long and grueling, but his mind wasn't on work. All he could think of was Veda.He had already made sure to block all of Vidyut's phone numbers and he had no interest in hearing that man's nonsense any longer.Adyant's thoughts drifted back towards Veda again. Her word's still lingered in his thoughts: "There's a lot you don't know about me, Adyant. You never tried to know, and maybe... maybe you'll never know."Her words haunted him as the guint gnawed inside his chest continuously.As he walked towards his Mercedes, he noticed a street vendor selling roses and flowers nearby. The vendor's enthusiastic call caught his attention and he looked around to find the man behind him."Sir, take one for your lovely wife! Make her day special!" The man said, showing Adyant all those red roses.Adyant hesitated, but the vendor's words struck a chord inside his heart. He thought of Veda, her gentle smile

    Adyant's onyx eyes slowly opened, greeted by the warm sunlight streaming through the window. He winced slightly, rubbing his temples. His head pounded, a lingering reminder of last night's whiskey.He sat up, scanning the room. His eyes darted towards the other side. Veda's side of the bed was empty, her pillow untouched."Veda?" he called out, his voice hoarse.Silence.She was nowhere to be seen.Adyant swung his legs over the side of the bed, planting his feet firmly on the ground. His mind replayed the events of the previous night – the Antakshari game, Vidyut's presence, Veda and Vidyut laughing and playing together and his own outburst.“Fuck! What the hell had come over me last night?” He muttered to himself, cursing as he remembered everything which had happened the previous night.Regret crept inside him, mingling with his morning-after haze.He made his way to the large balcony, squinting in the bright glimmering light. The garden below was peaceful and serene but the tuls

    Adyant stumbled through the front door, his vision blurry from the whiskey and the alcohol running inside him. The evening's events replayed in his mind, fueling his jealousy to a huge extent.Vidyut's smile, Veda's laughter, their victorious hug. Every moment taunted him.It haunted him.He staggered upstairs, his footsteps heavy. The bedroom door creaked open, and he entered, slamming it shut behind him.Veda lay asleep, her peaceful face illuminated by the moonlight.She looked serene.Adyant's gaze lingered, his emotions in turmoil as he wished to take her in his arms and punish her with a brutal and rough kiss which she could never forget in all her life.He approached the bed, his movements unsteady. Veda's gentle breathing contrasted with his own ragged gasps."Veda," he slurred, his voice low and husky.Veda stirred, opening her eyes slowly "Adyant? What time is it?"Adyant's eyes narrowed, his jealousy boiling over. "Time…..Yes you had such a good time today. You were enjoyin

    Days blended together, each one a reminder of Veda's silence which continued to haunt Adyant. His routine became a mechanical exercise, devoid of purpose or direction. His mind wandered, conjuring images of Veda's smile, her laughter, and her gentle touch.One afternoon, as he entered inside her studio, Adyant noticed Veda's perfume lingering in the air.Fragrance of Jasmine.The scent triggered a cascade of memories, and he felt an overwhelming urge to be close to her, to be near her, to touch her cheek and brush his hands fingers against her smooth neck."Veda?" he whispered, hoping she'd respond to him.She looked up at him, her expression neutral."Yes?"Adyant's heart sank, but he refused to give up."I want to talk, Veda." He spoke with a softer voice than before.Veda nodded, her eyes returning back to paintings as she sat down on the couch.Adyant sat beside her, his proximity stirring a mix of emotions inside him. He longed to reach out, to touch her hand or brush a strand of

    Days passed, and the tension between Adyant and Veda remained palpable.Veda's defiance had left Adyant shocked, unsure of how to respond or talk to her Adyant wandered the empty halls of their mansion, feeling lost and isolated. He didn't know why but Veda's silence was eating him alive. He felt as if something inside of him was ripping apart.He felt empty.He felt alone without her.He missed her voice, her smile, her gentle touch and her brown eyes looking at him with a sense of longing.But whenever he tried to approach her, Veda would politely dismiss him, her eyes cold and distant.She would try to stay away from him. She would go out without telling him anything and would come back after hours with a genuine smile on her face.As for the other times, then she will remain the same loving Veda with the family and kids but with Adyant she behaved like a stranger with whom she was just sharing a roof with and nothing else.It felt as if his existence didn't matter to her anymor

    The evening casted a shadow of darkness over the Rathore estate but another storm was brewing inside Adyant and the darkness inside him was ready to consume everything which Veda held precious.Adyant stormed into their mansion, slamming the door hard behind him. The silence that followed was oppressive, heavy with unspoken tension. Hours ticked by, each passing moment amplifying Adyant's rage. His anger had been simmering since Veda's abrupt dismissal and ignorant tone on the phone and an unknown feeling which felt like jealousy was burning inside him ready to consume Veda along with him in the fire of his fury.As he ascended to their bedroom, his resolve to confront Veda grew more. The door creaked open, and Adyant entered, his eyes blazing with fury and rage. Veda lay on the bed, lost in thought, her expression serene. The toddlers were already sleeping peacefully in their crib. The calmness that surrounded her only fueled Adyant's ire."Who was he?" Adyant demanded, his voice lo

    Veda stepped back from her canvas, eyes shining with tears. The vibrant colors and bold brushstrokes seemed to pulse with life, reflecting her own transformation as a Phoenix."Breaking Free" was more than just a painting. It was her declaration of independence, an evidence to the strength she'd discovered within herself.It was the witness of her power which she had uncovered within herself.Her phone buzzed, breaking the spell of the mesmerizing creation. Vidyut's name flashed on the screen, and a warm smile spread across her beautiful face."Hey, beautiful," his voice wrapped around her like a gentle embrace. "How's my favorite artist?"Veda's heart swelled. No one had ever made her feel seen and appreciated like Vidyut did."The painting's finally done," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. The words felt like a revelation, a confirmation of her growth and new found strength."Can't wait to see it," Vidyut replied, his enthusiasm felt infectious. "Tonight?"Veda hesitated,
