Sonia's point of view... "My first condition is..." I started and he raised his hand. My voice caught up in the middle of my throat and I jerked a little. "I have a little to no patience, make sure you don't test it" he added a warning, it wasn't like he was listening to what I wanted him to, but it was more like he wanted me to tell him what he wanted to listen to. But...! No matter how much he threatened me, I had to take the risk. So, mustering all my courage, I closed my eyes and blurted out. "You must not ask me where I learned that art of curing!" I can't believe I just spoke out my first condition before him. There was silence filling the room. I anticipated a grunt at least. But nothing. Feeling weird I slowly opened one of my eyes to peered at him. His eyes were fixated on me, without even a blink and there wasn't any kind of expression on his face.I gulped down as his tensed silence was more terrifying than his grunt. He had been staring at me and suddenly he retorted

Author's point of view... Inside the Thakur Mansion, Mitali had a restless night. The day before was horrible for her. She lost her father and the one she loved was married to another girl. Who could sleep calmly in a situation like that? But the first phone call in the morning turned on her spirit. That dull and energy-less face was overexcited talking to someone on her phone. "Are you sure she slept on the balcony?""Yes ma'am, I sent you a video, you can check it on your own" the man on the other side confirmed confidently and sent the video to her. This might be the best news that she might have ever heard in her life. Though she knew that Arjun never touched any women or never let any girl lay a finger on him, she doubted that he might as the girl he married was so beautiful. Sonia had a face and figure that could make anyone crazy about her and Arjun was a man in his primes. But when she heard that Sonia slept on the balcony alone, she was overwhelmed. "I knew it, Arjun,

Arjun's point of view... I fought with Neha when I was little, for a beautiful doll she had, that I was pleased with. At that time everyone including my Mom tried to convince me that boys do not play with dolls.Yes, I knew it. But just because I liked it and I can't have it, I tried to ruin it.Mom stopped me and promised me that I would get my beautiful doll when I grew up. I thought it was so childish that I believed that. She said that the doll would stay with me forever and do whatever I told her to do, unlike the plastic ones. Every time I see this girl, standing before me, trembling, I remember Mom's words again.Is she a living embodiment of Mom's pledge, obediently awaiting my command? Intrigued, I find myself wondering if she is the very doll Mom spoke of.I was in my inbuilt study room when I saw her coming out of the bathroom. My eyes stuck on her and I felt an unknown jerk all over my body as if I touched a current wire. It was an inbuilt room separated by a mirror

Author's point of view...Savitri joined them and called the little girl out. "Nikita, come out and say hello to your aunt" The girl slowly walked out and nodded. "They are Neha's children," she introduced them to Sonia with a friendly smile, "That's Neal and she is Nikita" The kids were so adorable that made Sonia bend forward and kiss them both affectionately. She didn't even start to talk to them when their mother stormed to them, out of nowhere and pulled her kids away from Sonia.She was ferocious as if Sonia was not a human but a plague that could affect her kids. "Hey, you...!" she grunted at Sonia, pointing a finger toward her as a warning, "Don't you ever dare come any closer to my kids" Sonia jolted back and hung her head, calmly. It was painful, being treated that way.What did she do wrong to get humiliated like this? Among all the family members she met so far, Neha and her grandfather were indifferent toward her. "Come, let's go" Savitri patted her shoulder as a g

Author's point of view... Right in the middle of the pooja, Arjun's phone buzzed disturbing him, though he waited till the pooja ended before he strode out silently to attend it."Boss, you were right!" Dheer exclaimed confirming something right when the phone connected. Arjun's eyes narrowed and he turned around to glance at his wife for once then took a few more steps ahead. Striding completely out of the house he hummed, gesturing Dheer to continue. "Sir there is a ditch in Maam's details," said Dheer confirming, very attentively as if he was still going through something while talking to him. "What is it?" Arjun grunted slowly, but a little eagerness could be noticed in his voice. "Their family shifted to Mumbai a few years back and she joined the college but there are no details about her high schooling or anything else in her records," "What...!" Arjun exclaimed, "Did you check it properly?" he asked rather irritatingly."Yes sir, I am still on it" Dheer retorted immediatel
