*Adithya Pov* I heard the faint ringing of my mobile but I ignored it and turned away to continue my sleep. Nevertheless, it still continued to ring. I lifted it with still closed eyes and said, “What is it?” “Woah! Are you still sleeping?” I heard Rajeev’s voice. “Am I late?” I asked and opened my eyes to look at the clock and saw that I have still two hours to get ready. “Of course not! You are never late.” He replied. “Why are you calling me?” I asked him getting up and groaned feeling my head pounding. “First, take some medicine and then I will tell you.” He replied. I rolled my eyes and took it from the drawer beside my bed and then drank some water. After a few minutes, I opened my eyes and felt little well. “Now tell me.” I said, standing up. “Who was there with you yesterday night?” he asked and I frowned. “Why?” I asked him. “Because whoever she is scared our common bartender so much that he called me after dropping you saying or even pleading that to make sure th
*Janice Pov* I glanced at everyone and saw that even today they all are silent. What is more surprising is even Bhai is silent along with Abby for the past few days since I told them regarding my decision. I can totally see my parents trying to change my decision so much, but I am not budging at all. In all this silence my phone rang, making me startle a little as it is already late night, so I don’t even know who is calling. I saw the caller Id and immediately lifted, saying, “Hello?” “Sorry for calling you at this time, but just got some free time now.” He replied. “It’s ok! Anything happened?” I asked him playing with my food. “I got the court date for tomorrow evening.” He replied. “So early.” I mumbled as I thought it will take few more weeks. “Yeah! I found a small-time slot so got our names registered there. Is that ok?” He asked. “It is completely ok. We will meet tomorrow directly then.” I replied. “I will not be there at the café I guess. It is not good to see the
*Janice Pov* I woke up hearing some stupid alarm which is definitely not good to wake up with pleasant mind. I yawned and saw that he is also waking up and just trying to shut down the alarm. I got up from the bed and walked towards the window to open the curtain. “You are up?” He asked, and I looked back to see him standing near the bed yawning. “Who will be not after hearing that?” I asked back. “It’s pretty bad right? That’s why I am using it so that I will wake up correctly without late.” He replied. “But 6?” I asked him frowning. “I actually go to the station at 7.” He replied. “OK!” I mumbled and he nodded, walking outside the room. I decided to get ready myself not knowing what else to do. After getting ready, I walked outside to see him sitting on the bed wearing uniform. “I think we should have breakfast.” He said and I nodded, walking outside the room along with him. We saw that his parents are also just about to sit at the table. So we both sat beside each other
#After two months# *Janice Pov* “How is my cute niece today?” I asked, lifting her and smiled. “You are early this Sunday.” Abby stated. “Just got bored at home so I came here early today.” I said, smiling and played with the baby. “Janice! Did you have your breakfast?” Mom asked. “Yes, Mom! Let’s just go to church.” I replied, and she nodded smiling. “Have some more Janice. You may get hungry.” Dad said and I nodded, sitting at the table. They both are completely normal towards me, but still didn’t accept my marriage. Well they will soon I guess. These two months passed normally actually without any bumps and all. His parents didn’t accept me, and mine didn’t accept him. Every day is the same without any change. We both wake up hearing that hideous alarm and get ready and have breakfast. He leaves, and I leave after some time. We both meet again at the café for a few minutes and continue our day. He returns late, and we have dinner together talking about the day, and that’s
*Third Person Pov* She felt him opening the doors and walking inside the room like every day. But still she didn’t turn away from the window. It is not at all done. He is pretty late today, and she doesn’t know what to even think of it. Is this marriage is also becoming like the first one? Like him completely staying away from home and me. What should I tell to stop this and start new? When he walked inside the room and saw her looking outside the window. She didn’t even turn when he made a sound, but putting his belt on the table. He cleared his throat, but still she didn’t turn towards me. Why does she always look outside the window like her? He thought, looking down. Is this marriage is also becoming like the first one? Her being slowly getting distant and all. It is not good for them, and he needs to say something. He glanced at his wife and calmly said, “I know you love him, but I think it would be better for us to start our life together immediately.” She turned back to
*David Pov* I walked inside the house holding the parcel and saw that the lights are already switched off. I sat on the table and started having the food which I bought from outside. When I finished it, I walked in the kitchen to see her empty parcel near the basin. I am so used to love the outside food, but now I wish I can have some homemade food at least a little. I sighed and walked inside our room to see her already sleeping. I changed into evening clothes and lay on the bed thinking how my life just changed to my wish, but I am not happy. “Why are you so late?” Parul asked, turning towards me. “You are not my wife.” I replied, closing my eyes. “And you are not my husband, but tell me why.” She repeated. “The work is tiring and it took more time today. And it's not like you care at what time I arrive and all.” I said shaking my head. After that divorce, our parents asked us to move out, but didn’t cut us off from the business or money. I am still working at my company, an
*Janice Pov* “You will be fine.” I mumbled knocking on the door. “I don’t think so.” He mumbled back and before I can say anything, the door opened. “Janice! What a surprise?” Bhai said, smiling and I can understand his surprise because this is definitely not a weekend, and it is the evening after my college timing. “Abby wanted to meet me.” I said and gestured behind me. He glanced at Adithya and immediately his eyes went wide. I know I think I really made a mistake by pressuring him to be here. “What is he doing here and that too in uniform? Dad doesn’t like it remember?” he asked. “Today he picked me up from college. He told me that he would drop me and leave, but it is not nice right? Dad needs to start accepting him.” I replied, and we both walked inside holding hands with Bhai little nervous but excited to know what happens. “Dad!” I mumbled when we saw that he is sitting on the couch. “Janice! You are…” he trailed off seeing Adithya. Dad just ignored him while he gree
*Janice Pov* We both got up hearing the nice and melodious alarm clock which I bought with a smile. Even though all this is good I miss that hideous clock. I miss scolding it. I walked towards my cupboard to take out a dress when I heard him clearing his throat. I glanced back and raised my eyebrows in question brushing my teeth. “Do you know we woke up at 7?” He asked and suddenly the toothbrush slipped outside my mouth making him laugh. “You will not leave me alone right?” I asked him in breaking words, and he shook his head getting up. “I am a shtubun girl.” I replied. “What?” He asked, frowning. I gestured at him to wait for a second walking inside the washroom and after cleaning my teeth I walked outside saying, “I am a stubborn girl.” “Not more than me.” He said shrugging and walked inside the washroom. We took our turns to have a bath and then got ready for the day. He still prompted for every second saying he has seven buttons on his shirt, but he was lying. When we
