*Jiya Pov*  I woke up hearing my alarm and then started to get ready. After I got ready, I heard the shouts, but these were worried shouts. I rushed outside my room to see my Mom sitting on the dining table crying. While my Dad is standing beside her scolding her, but she just continued to release tears. “Can’t you be more careful?” Dad asked her. “You have been asking the same question.” Mom replied sniffing. “Don’t talk!” He said glaring at her and started applying something on her hand. “Who asked you to boil water for me?” Dad added shaking his head. “I know you want warm water to bath in this cold weather. I am trying to make sure you get them.” Mom said and hissed when he applied ointment on her hand.  “Ahhh!” I screamed while holding the bowl an

*Ajay Mehra Pov*  I walked outside my room a little earlier than everyday for the prayer event today. I saw that her door is still closed so I walked downstairs. “Why did you put her in Durga’s room?” I heard Mom’s voice when I asked for some coffee. “Because it is beside mine.” I replied, not looking up from the morning paper. “I don’t want anyone to stay in her room. She never liked it, don’t you remember?” Mom asked sitting beside me. “She is not here anymore, Mom.” I said gripping the paper. “And even if she is here she is strong enough to accept the fact that anyone can stay in her room.” I added. “Yes! She is really strong. But that day I thought she was weak when we got the news that she did suicide.” Mom said, and I closed my eyes. “If it isn&

*Jiya Pov*  I looked up from the office table set up for me in the office room when I heard a knock on the door. “What is it Kaka?” Mr.Mehra asked him. “Dinner is ready and Madam asked both of you to come.” He replied looking at both of us. “I am not hungry.” We both said at a time and then stared at each other. “But Madam asked…” Kaka trailed off. “All the work is finished, Sir. I am retiring to bed.” I said walking outside the room and went in my room. “Hello Dad!” I said when he lifted his call. “Is everything fine there?” he asked worriedly. “Yes! Do you need anything?” I asked him laying on the bed.  “No! Just wanted to know your welfare.” He replied. “Good night, Dad.” I said, hangi

*Ajay Pov*  I rubbed my forehead after she walked away and then felt something in my hand. I glanced at it to see a rose flower I bought for her when buying a bouquet for Mom and Dad. “Ajay! You have to stay away from her.” I heard Mom’s voice and turned to see both Mom and Dad standing beside me. “Why, Mom?” I asked her frowning. “You are giving her more attention, and it is not the right thing. I don’t trust her.” She replied frowning. “She is good girl Mom.” I said defending her. “See, you are already defending just some secretary in front of your Mom. She is already doing something to make you fool.” Mom said worriedly. “Mom! I will never become a fool, and she will want anything than to make me a fool.” I said shaking my head. “No! I am seeing you from this

*Ajay Pov*  After a few weeks, when Jiya reached the table in the morning, I glanced up to see a small book in her hand. “What is it?” I asked her cutting the apple into half. “Some client called and asked a few details regarding the new electronic device which is introduced into the market Sir.” She replied, and I nodded. “I will tell you the details, and you can inform him by yourself.” I said. “Sure Sir.” She said and opened the book. She started explaining the questions and Mom and Dad are having a talk with each other.  I walked inside the courtroom along with everyone and sat beside my lawyer. He gave me a look that we are failed. I glanced back and met Jiya’s stare. I turned back towards my lawyer and asked, “What if someone gave the statement regarding his cr
