Hrita Roy's husband, Ishan Roy was an army officer. Now he is retired. His appearance, physical structure is very handsome in all aspects. His look still catches everyone's attention. Their only son Rudra Roy got the physical structure of his father and mother's milky white skin tone.
Rudra established his own construction business firm after completing his degree in civil engineering. It's been around 3 years since he started the firm and it's already doing very well. But in all these years, it's happening for the first time that he failed to focus on his work.
It felt every cell of his body and his mind had vowed to go on strike. They wouldn't let him focus on his work, if he didn't see the face of the love of his life.
He didn't see Zoya for a month. Not just a month, it'
F L A S H B A C KZoya returned from her fashion house and her gaze fell on a handsome man sitting on the sofa in the middle of the living room. It was none other than Rudra. She was leaving pretending not to see him."I was right, you're becoming more and more mannerless with passing days. Someone elder to you is sitting here in front of you and you are walking away pretending that he doesn't exist. What's wrong with you, Zoya?"Zoya was having a battle with herself which she couldn't continue and argued back with him. "Don't you have the lowest shame left, Rudra? How can you act so cool after taking such a big step? Shameless creature."Rudra looked at her with an innocent face. "What are you saying, Zoya? What have I
F L A S H B A C KAamna was cooking a lot of dishes today as Roy’s were shifting to the flat next to theirs. So, she had invited them for lunch. Hrita was her best friend’s sister and they were almost of the same age, so they were quite close to each other.In between, she went to her daughter’s room to call her. “Zoya, do you remember that we’re having guests for lunch today?” She asked, gritting her teeth.Zoya was working on some designs. Hearing her mother’s voice, she looked up with a frown. “I remember, mom. So what do you want me to do? They’re not here yet.”“Can’t you help me a little in the kitc
F L A S H B A C KJessica was disturbing a lot more than usual these days. She clinged to Manik all the time. She always looked for ways to stick to him. She had an intoxicating smile on her lips all the time that made Manik feel more terrible. He hated it extremely when she came around him.While buying his flat, he took a loan from this company thinking he was working here, so it would be easier for him to repay it. He was repaying it slowly but it was not done completely yet. That's why he couldn't resign from this job either.His flat was still in progress and needed some more days before he could finally shift there. If he resigned from here now, then he would need time to find another job and without a job, it was impossible to complete the flat. He was stuck in this stupid situation. 
F L A S H B A C KRudra and his family went to Zoya's flat for lunch. They had almost arranged everything. Only a few things were left that they could wrap before night.Rudra was quietly sitting on the chair. Hrita asked a few times what happened to him? But he gently smiled and said nothing.Zoya was arranging the table while looking at him from the corner of her eyes from time to time. She wondered why his eyes were so red. She felt bad seeing him like that.Everyone settled to have lunch. After lunch, Aamna was serving the cake to Rudra but he stopped her."I don't want cake, aunty. I'll have ice cream."Zoya's heart fell upon hearing him. Ru
F L A S H B A C KNandini walked near Manik. "Your coffee."Manik didn't react even after hearing Nandini's voice as if he knew that Nandini would come. Nandini felt that Manik didn't want to talk to her. He seemed to be in a serious mood. He dropped the rest of the cigarette and looked away. Nandini put the cup on the nearby table and moved closer to Manik and hugged him tightly from behind.Manik sighed silently and looked at the darkness. He wanted to hug her too, he wanted to hold her in his embrace and hide her from the world. But he couldn't.Nandini snuggled her face in his back and mumbled, "Sorry." In her sweet voice. Anyone would melt hea
F L A S H B A C K"Is she Manik's girlfriend?" This thought crossed Nandini's mind, seeing his behavior. Also it was the first time he got a girl home. "But that day Rudra Bhai said that Manik does not have any girlfriend? He bought the gift just like that and it was him who wrote the note."He lied.....Tears were forming in the corner of her eyes but she controlled it. She didn’t want to feel weak in front of them. She closed the door and went inside. Manik and that girl were sitting in the living room.“Why is she sitting so close to Manik leaving the whole sofa empty? He isn’t feeling her clinging to him now?” Nandini thought, making a ba
F L A S H B A C K"What will I do when my jasmine is not talking to me?""She will.""Does she want me?""A lot."Rudra's happiness knew no bounds after hearing her reply. He hugged Zoya tighter. Zoya too snuggled in his embrace."Do you love me, jasmine?"Zoya could feel her heart beating so fast that it might come out of its place. She moved away from Rudra's chest and stood a little away. Her eyes were fixed to the floor. She didn’t have the courage to look into those captivating eyes of Rudra.“I don’t you.”
F L A S H B A C KThe next morning when Manik woke up he heard Pallavi and Kabir’s voice, indicating they were back. He went to the washroom and looked at himself in the mirror. His lip had cut badly. Though he was supposed to be angry due to Nandini's act but he was not surprisingly. Instead, he felt a sense of tingling happiness.The thing that worried him was he couldn’t go out in front of anyone like this. They would surely question him about the cut and he couldn’t tell the truth. Next whole week Manik left for office early in the morning and returned late at night. He was wearing masks in front of everyone. He didn’t have his meal at home. Pallavi was worried for him and she forced him to eat a lot of times but everytime he escaped saying he had important work or he was late.
