Anu’s POV “ No, Sid…i won’t be able to join the party…you carry on with your friends “ I said pressing the 4rth floor button as soon as I stepped inside the elevator. “ oh C'mon ... .it will be fun Anu “ Sid stood beside me, trying to convince me to attend the party he’s hosting tonight. Sid is my colligue come friend, and the only person in the office with whom I can really connect because he’s the only Tamil guy in the office apart from me. In the initial stage of shifting to Mumbai from Chennai I was a bit unknown of the locations, plus every random person I saw would always be in a rush for something or to reach somewhere. The city is always rushing for what I don't know but somehow I got used to it. Unlike me, Sid is a Mumbaikar from birth as his parents got settled here long ago so being born and brought up in mumbai, Sid knows the life hacks of mumbai more than me. To be particular, it was one of the reasons for bonding with him. I was new, and didn’t know the transpor

Author’s POV “Why wouldn't she text me ? it’s been twenty one days already “ muttered Rishi who was hopelessly staring at her recent social media post. Checking on her via social media has become one of his frequent acts nowadays. He wouldn’t even care about taking off his shoes and changing his formal clothes after coming back home but he would pull out his phone and start scrolling through her feeds. It’s been many days since he received any text or call, the last text he got from her was twenty days ago when he returned to bangalore and she texted him to ask if he reached safely. Once he replied with assurance that he is back home safe and sound, the text ended with awkward silence between them leaving no choice for him to know whether she is doing fine or not. He has been silently stalking her on social media since she asked for some time off from him and he couldn’t text or call her after that. But at the same time he couldn’t just stay still, he needed to know if she is safe

Author’s POV “ What do you want now ? '' Anu fumed in anger, glaring at Rishi, who was seated across from her on the couch in the hall. It’s been a few minutes since Masha called him in after convincing Anu for this. Since Anbu didn’t want to be an awkward and unwanted part of this conversation between Rishi and Anu, she assured him that she will wait in his car till he is done. Masha had taken Ria to upstairs before calling him inside the house as per Anu’s demand. Anu didn’t want Ria to know about Rishi. Meanwhile Rishi took a brief moment to examine his surroundings. He could say that she had maintained the home well and tidy but what surprised him was those brown carton boxes which were placed here and there in different sizes, some packed and some half packed. Leaving the furniture, other things seemed already packed and ready to be moved. He realised that she is in the process of shifting to somewhere else, but he won’t dare to ask her about it. Anu’s eyes reflected th

Author’s POV “ Are you sure no one would catch us here ?” questiONED Anbu as soon as she stood behind Rishi, who seemed lost in gazing at the night sky. Turning around he shook his head with surety and spoke “ don’t worry, everyone already slept and i’ve asked one of my cousin to look out for us “ “ Hmmm “ she responde, looking around thinking of a way to start the conversation. The terrace was covered in peaceful silence, the dim lights provided enough brightness there. Covered under the night sky and serene atmosphere, both of them stood in an awkward silence for a minute. She began “ um…..what’s both…. “ “ let’s sit over there “ He spoke pointing at the right corner of the terrace. She and both of them sat down beside each other leaning on the wall behind them. “ what’s going on in your mind ?” She had no patience after watching him avoid looking into her eyes a few times. Every passing second was filling her with more questions and disturbing thoughts, He looked

Part 70 Author’s POV“ Keep your phone with you all the time, “said Rishi, rotating the steering wheel with his one hand while his other hand was behind the back of her head, on the seat as he glanced back to make sure of the clear spot to park. “ hmmm “ Anbu responded while she was lost in some thoughts.“ don’t skip meals even if you’re busy, “ he said, halting the car in the perfect parking slot and releasing his seat belts. “ Hmmm “ she again hummed without even paying attention to her surroundings. Looking at her he spoke “ don’t eat too much of oily foods, you’ll end up having upset stomach ““ Hmmm “ her eyes were fixed to the front of the car as she aimlessly kept playing the pendant of her chain. “ Try to make time and call me, or text me “ turning towards her side, He said to gain her attention. “ Hmmm “ she was still lost in her thoughts that she didn’t even realise that he was gazing at her for the past few minutes. with a playful smile lingering around the corner o
