Chapter 23
The moment Atharv woke up, Chandni made sure that she greeted him with a tight hug and a kiss and gave him all the presents she somehow managed to hide for the past few days.
Vikram had left the house quite early in the morning but promised Chandni that he will be back for lunch and will try to spend the rest of the day with both of them.
Chandni opened all the presents along with Atharv and played with him for some time before busying herself in the kitchen and making sure she prepared all his favourite dishes.
As Promised Vikram arrived at lunch hour and brought his own gift, a set of all the latest popular games for his PlayStation console and Atharv was ecstatic to say the least. But Chandni strictly forbade him to play any of the games right then as she knew

Two days later 7PM Sunday. Chandni emerged from the shower and quickly wrapped the new Silk Saree she bought for the housewarming party. She already felt exhausted and tired. All afternoon, she was busy overseeing the decorations and last-minute arrangements, and liaising with the event management team. Her tummy grumbled, reminding her that she hardly ate anything since breakfast as she was too busy, much to the ire of Nargis Chachi. But her biggest task had been to keep Atharv engaged and away from all the rush. She finally made sure he had an early dinner, and was taken away to Nargis Chachi's room by their housekeeper Shyamli, along with his iPad to keep him occupied. Vikram and Chandni even had a row about it earlier, as Vikram was of the opinion that excluding Atharv from the function w

Aryan was in two minds again whether to go to the housewarming party or not after his not so warm encounter with Chandni at the Football ground. But the matter was taken completely out of his hand when he heard a knock on his apartment door, and Rithika walked in along with Sachi and Sanjana.They completely pushed aside all his lame excuses for not being able to attend, and forced him to actually dress up.He almost had to shut the bedroom door on Rithika's face as she tried to force him to wear the suit she chose for him, making her furious. He apologised to her later of course, explaining that he rarely let anyone choose what he wore, which finally brought back the smile on her face."Ok Aryan, I want to leave my car here, because I hate driving in this traffic. Let's all go to the party in your car. And then, we

When your heart bleeds, bursting with the pain,the torn soul yearns for release, and your tears turn crimson. -- Celestial_SesiAryan gently tapped on Chandni's cheek."Chandni! Chandu! Are you okay? Please wake up! Let's go inside." There was no response from Chandni and Aryan wasn't sure if it was OK to carry her inside in this stage, if the guests were still around. He frantically looked around if anyone saw or noticed them, but thankfully this marquee was in a corner and well covered on all three sides.As his eyes roamed back to Chandni, his heart felt again that familiar tug and a deep sense of protectiveness. He was suspicious of her behaviour since he saw her, as she looked

Aryan anxiously looked at Chandni, who sat, almost still, with her eyes closed. He called her a couple of times but there was no response."Chandu, look at me. Please!! If you are feeling sleepy, why don't you lie down? I will get you some water. Maybe you will feel better afterwards! Just say something first!" Aryan knew he was rambling, but he didn't know how to make her come out of the current state.A slow smile developed on Chandni's face again and she snapped her eyes open, but they no longer looked playful or sad."Seriously Aryan!! Does drinking water make me feel better?" She asked sarcastically, rolling her eyes and cupping her face with both her hands. Aryan noticed that she had reverted to calling him Aryan again."And why do you think I need to feel be

Slowly, with much difficulty, Aryan tore his gaze away from her, as he noticed the beads of perspiration on her forehead. "Chandu DON'T!!! Please. Don't say anything that you will regret forever and don't tempt me to do something, which will then give you more reason to hate me than you already do. You are not in your control at the moment. I don't even know whether to believe you or not!!" Aryan clenched his hands tightly and pleaded with Chandni. "You still think that I hate you? Even after all that I said just now?" Chandni's eyes welled with tears again. Aryan's heart suffused with desperate love and longing for the woman standing in front of him, the only woman he ever loved, but so cruelly out of his life now. He felt compelled to answer her question with his own.

Maybe she got deceived by his manners and is now trapped in this loveless marriage! Well he had no doubt that it was loveless, otherwise nothing would explain this separate bedroom scenario. What the hell was Vikram doing right now, drinking with Raj Kaka when he knew that his wife was sick and just had an attack. What sort of a loving husband does that? Perhaps he was too quick to judge Vikram as a kind savior, who rescued Chandni from her disastrous marriage with Rahul. He didn't know what happened exactly. And what is it that Chandni said about everyone forcing her to confront her about her past, about him. Is that why Vikram... As he walked out of her room with his head bent down, deep in his thoughts, Aryan almost collided with Vikram and Raj Singh who were approaching from the other end of the hallway. "How

Aryan came close to Vikram and stood just a few inches away from him, his eyes spitting fire. "Do you know how it feels to see your parents chased by killers and to hear from strangers that they are dead?? Do you know how it feels to become an orphan and see yourself separated from the only family member you were left with, your tiny younger brother? Do you know how it feels to survive in the fields, your body and heart burning with revenge, but feeling helpless? Stealing food, working at roadsides, scraping just enough so you can make a phone call? You don't.... so stop lecturing me on what my priorities should be. When you go through all that, just after being mercilessly plucked out of your normal everyday life, surrounded by a loving family, then your heart and mind are filled with just one thought! To catch the criminal who did that to your family and make sure their deaths are avenged. This fire has

"Don't ... Don't say that!" She pleaded with him. "It is the bitter truth. I know I shouldn't harbour any feelings for you and I promise you, I will always respect you and your marriage, but it is what it is, and we both must accept it." Aryan said solemnly. "What good is that for either of us Dev? Do you see why I never opened up, why it was so hard to say anything to anyone? I never thought that I would ever see you in my life again. I trust VikramJi didn't take my therapist's words literally and forced this situation on us. He is my last hope now, my only salvation and I cannot doubt or question his motives." Tears were still freely flowing from her eyes as she spoke. "First stop crying, Chandu. I am so happy talking to you like this and you got nothing better to do
