Akansha looked at us in shock. Her eyes started to water slowly, I knew she had misunderstood the situation. She immediately turned and ran out. I moved Jennifer away and ran behind her like mad."Akansha!", I shouted as she ran out. I followed her out of the hotel to find her nowhere. My throat went dry. I was sure she had misunderstood the whole situation and that was not a good thing.I started looking around, maybe she was somewhere, after all - she could not vanish in thin air.I started running from one end of the footpath to another screaming her name. After a while I stood hopeless along the road as cars zoomed past.I felt a hand hold mine. I immediately turned to find Jennifer looking at me empathetically."Trust me, she'll understand.", She said softly as she handed me some money."Get to her. ", She said. For a moment, all my anger for her seemed to melt away as I took the money and immediately caught a cab.It took quite some time to reach the apartment we had been stayin
I drew in a sharp breath. A feeling of deep and intense hatred seemed to grip me.That disgusting man was still upto breaking me and Akansha apart! I so wanted to murder him!I pulled out my mobile phone and called Jennifer, if she could get me into jail she could do much better with Anirudh.She picked up the phone quite instantaneously."Everything is fine?!", She asked immediately, sounding tensed."No, but I need your help.", Saying so I told her the plan to which she agreed quite instantly."I'll do as you say, just explain things to Akansha. I'm sure she will understand, she is just manipulated.", She said as I agreed and hung up the call.I walked out of the room, looking for Akansha.I found her standing at the balcony looking out blankly. I tiptoed behind her when she said,"You know what Neil? You will never change..", she whispered as her voice broke away. I wrapped my hands around her as she tried to shove me away."You trust me?", I asked in a low whisper drawing her clos
Third Person's Point Of View°°°"Wake up.. it's a new day!", The alarm continued singing it's way into Akansha's ears who was trying hard to ignore her phone's alarm and sleeping.She had been working almost the whole night yesterday.The alarm continued ringing, irritating her more and more.At the end she gave up.She sat up on her bed irritably turning off the alarm feeling extremely irritated."I don't wanna wake up!", She said as she got off the bed. Her long hair a wild mess as she suddenly looked at the wall clock. It was six thirty."Oh God! Nesha!", She said running out of her room into her seven years old daughter's room. She walked in to find the room empty. She looked around with a raised brow."Nesha..", she called out but her daughter was nowhere to be found.She immediately got out of the room to find her nowhere."Nesha! Where are you?! It's getting late.. mom's getting scared now! Come out!", She said, her heart thumping wildly in her chest."Mommy!", She heard her d
Neil's Point Of View°°°I gave her a pleasant smile."So? What's the deal, Mr. Parker?", She asked with a sigh."I have a question if you don't mind.", I said sounding as sugarcoated as ever."Please.", He said looking down at the papers."How is it that you did not marry that douche bag, Anirudh?", I said sitting back on my recliner keeping my feet on the table."That is none of your business, Mr. Parker.", She replied curtly.I nodded."Alright, let's not waste time. I hope you can type the specifications of the deal so that we can go on to legalising it sooner.", I said as she pulled the laptop towards herself and turned it on."I'm giving you the specifications of the contract.", I stated as she gave me an irritable look because of the way I was sitting. I ignored it very graciously."You should be referred to as Client and I should be referred as Company. I like it that way.",I stared as she merely nodded."Company's obligations.", I stated."Hmm.", She said after typing it."1.
Neil's Point Of View°°°"No, I would not give up. I will make her suffer enough so that she can realise what she had done. I hate you Akansha! I hate you so much!", I said in gritted teeth as I rose up from the recliner rubbing off my tears of rage and got out of her office.I got into my car and started driving back to my head office which was around seven kilometres from here. As I drove with irritation crossing all the bounds I suddenly noticed a crowd at the side of the road. I immediately got out of my car and headed towards it. "What's the matter, dude?", I asked getting into it. I found a girl, not more the six or seven sitting on the main road with her forehead bleeding as she cried."She's not ready to come with any of us!", Someone said as the girl kept on saying,"Call mom.. I'll go with her..", in between sobs. I knelt in front of her, suddenly my heart of steel melting away."It's okay..", I whispered as she looked up at me, her chubby face completely tear smitten. "
Neil's Point Of View°°°Just then I heard Akansha's panicked voice outside the ward."God.. she's so tensed..", Nesha said bringing her hands in front of my face, as if to hide it."Ah.. your mom is not leaving any one us today, I'm sure.", I said with a wink as she barged in and lifted Nesha in her arms. I sat merely looking at Akansha kissing her daughter incessantly."Who asked you to run across the road?", Akansha asked, her eyes watering."Sorry, mumma..", Nesha said wiping off Akansha's tears as I suddenly realised that I was smiling. I immediately changed my expression into my usual grave face.I stood up to leave when I felt Nesha's hand hold onto mine. I turned slowly, partly unsure of what I was doing. "Wait.. Mom did not thank you. Mom, say thank you to him.. he's my new friend and he saved me!", She said.Akansha looked at me for a while and then said, "Thank you very much, Neil.", With a nod. I nodded and immediately decided on leaving. I more time I spent, I found it
Neil's Point Of View°°°I stood opposite the statue of Jesus. Wasn't this the place where it all began? I remembered standing opposite to a similar statue in London, cursing my luck. A sudden painful smile came across my face.How ironic was all of this, wasn't it?I sighed and looked down as Akansha walked into the church. Everybody started applauding, but I did not turn back this time. I was too pained to do anything. She soon came and stood beside me, as I immediately brushed off my unconscious tears. No! You're not breaking down, Neil.. Not now, not ever!My mind screamed at me as I agreed to it.Father started the rituals, again.Both of us had replied with an "I Do", although we had definitely meant not one of them, at least me. During the whole thing my eyes had been fixed on that statue of God.My mind seemed to ask him.. Why? Why me?But of course, no reply ever came. "You may now kiss the bride.", The Father said. Last time I had very graciously declined that offer and
Neil's Point Of View°°°We reached the hospital soon as I jumped out of the car in haste. Just then I noticed that Akansha sat there, very still. "You're not coming?!", I shouted at her as she was pulled out of her trance."Ye-Yes.", she mumbled and got out of the car and followed me inside. I was going mad with panic but then what else could I do? I immediately rushed to the reception."Nesha Goenka-""Yes, yes sir. She was admitted a while ago. Sir you will have to go to the ICU. Second floor, towards the right.", She stated quickly looking at how panicked I was. I immediately rushed towards the elevator followed by Akansha who looked like she was still in a shock. I couldn't care less about her though.We reached the ICU soon as I was informed that they were still treating Nesha. I sat on the seat outside the ICU feeling sick of life and existence. The doctor came out looking extremely worked up."You are her?""Father.", I immediately stated not even realising what I was sa
