Anvi******"Why does he own such a big house, Di?" I questioned Mrs.Chetna whom I have started to call Di as she was older than me while sipping the luscious hot coffee prepared by her."He is planning to bring all his family here in London itself," she replied, taking a seat beside me in the garden of the house."That's very thoughtful of him. Otherwise, I have seen people who don't care about their family once they stand on their feet." That was a fact that I stated. Nikhil did have great thinking."Nikhil is different. He thinks of his family's needs before he thinks of himself."Chetna Di had a proud smile as well as admiration in her eyes for Nikhil. He indeed was someone intriguing that I was thriving to know more about him.I was enjoying the hot coffee thinking whether to ask Chetna Di if she had switched off the lights of my room last night when I heard her calling me, "Anvi.""Hmmm.""Last night Nikhil told me

Nikhil******I used to be a bully once, back in school. With time I realized how evil my actions were, how someone was hurting because of my act. I stopped when my conscience stopped supporting me. I stopped when my alter ego loathed me. I stopped when the girl I used to bully was nice to me despite my evil acts.That was the first time I felt ashamed and changed for good. I wasn't the same person anymore. I vowed never in my life I will ever hurt a soul.But all my vows, my promises were nothing when I realized I had again hurt someone deeply, such that she was not ready to even see my face.It was one in the night and I was in my car in front of Dia's house like I had been doing for the past four nights. After office, I had been staying outside her house in my car just to seek her forgiveness. But she had never once heed attention.She was hurt and her actions were justified. She was not to be blamed, I was.My trance broke when so

Author******"Let me pay," said Anvi, snatching the packet of wafers she had picked from her husband."No, Anvi, I will pay." Nikhil retorted taking back the packets."Nikhil, I have bought this for myself I will pay." Anvi grabbed the packets glaring at Nikhil."So what? Anvi, you are my wife and it doesn't matter if I will pay for your stuff."Anvi got irritated hearing him and said sternly, "Nikhil, I will pay for my stuff and that's final."The couple because of their fight had gathered a lot of attention. Even the cashier couldn't dare to meddle."No, I will..." Nikhil was interrupted by Jai who was annoyed and pissed off watching two grownups fighting like kids over something which can never be considered an issue in his eyes."Shut Up!" Jai whisper yelled."Both of you move aside," Even Niharika's voice was strict.Anvi and Nikhil moved aside as neither of them wanted to make their friends anymore f

Nikhil******My fingers ferociously worked on my laptop keyboard as I was reverting to my work emails."Nikhil, stop it." I heard my wife who was reading a thriller novel sitting on the same cozy bed kept on my favourite spot but she was sitting in the opposite direction."What should I stop, angry bird?" I asked while my eyes lingered on the laptop."The sound of the keyboard is irritating me. I am not able to concentrate," she whined. I didn't want her to be disturbed but replying to those emails was important as hell to me."Anvi, just five more mails, please.""Aghhh, No, not even one." I looked over at her from my laptop and said, "Please, don't be mad at me. Give me a few more minutes.""I am leaving," she was about to leave, leaving me alone which was the last thing I wanted."No, you can't," I put my legs on her abstaining her from moving."You are unbelievable," she said, closing her book loudly.

Author******"I made a mistake," Anvi said over the call to Niharika."What happened?"Niharika asked, being concerned and worried for her friend. Anvi couldn't utter any more words and was only crying. Niharika was unable to hear her clearly and tried to calm her friend first."First of all, stop crying, ok."Anvi anyhow composed herself and asked her friend."Can I see you?""Right now?" It was seven in the evening and Niharika couldn't understand what exactly had made Anvi see her suddenly."Ye...yes.""Okay, stop crying. I will ask Nikhil to send you over." Niharika suggested."No, no...not him." Anvi resisted, making Niharika skeptical over Nikhil being involved in whatever had happened."Ok, I will book a cab and send you the details." Anvi agreed. She wanted to be with someone close for a while. There were only three people Anvi could be with, either Sara, Vritti, or Niharika. She didn't want to bother Vritt
