*Janice Pov*
“So how is life?” Abby asked, sipping her coffee.
“It’s good.” I replied, looking down at the cup.
“Janice! It’s been just four months since you got married, and you must be like having a grin or something on your face. What happened?” She asked, holding my hand.
“It is an arranged marriage Abby. It takes time for both of us to settle.” I replied.
“Your Mother-in-law is a complete fan of you though. Wherever she meets us, she just says you take care of everyone, and mainly David is involved in the business so much after the marriage.” Mom said proudly.
“Yeah!” I said, leaning back.
He is just hiding with the work, and that’s all. Whenever I try to talk to him little romantically, he would just start talking about the office.
Seeing that my In-laws are happy and satisfied that he is taking responsibilities. I have a feeling of love for him, but he is maybe still in love with her.
“Ok! I will just leave.” I said getting up.
“Stay for some more time.” Abby said, holding my hand.
“No, Abby! Thought of visiting you guys for some time returning from college. Now I have to go home and do some chores.” I said smiling.
“See my Daughter is always thinking about her new life.” Mom said smiling.
“Yeah! New life.” I said, nodding and walked outside.
In the evening, Uncle returned early along with David and we all sat for the evening snacks.
“I have a surprise for both of you. Now the company can be handled by me, and I am happy with David’s hard work, so I think you both should go for a holiday.” Uncle said taking out an envelope and placed it in front of us.
“Switzerland? Thank you Dad.” David said, smiling while I sat there in shock.
Is he really okay with all this? I thought confused, but gave them a smile.
“Are you sure?” I asked David when we went inside the room.
“About what?” he asked, frowning removing his tie.
“Honeymoon and all. We can skip it if you want.” I replied.
“No! I think it will be good for us to go there.” He said, nodding and I sighed in relief.
Maybe this holiday is needed. Maybe I will have a well married life with him now.
*Adithya Pov*
“You are early?” Parul said when I walked into our room.
“Yeah! I thought we could go out and Rome. It’s been so long right?” I asked her, and she nodded.
When we walked outside I sat on the bike wearing a helmet while she stood beside me fidgeting her hands.
“What is it?” I asked her frowning.
“Can we take a taxi or something?” She asked.
“Why?” I asked, frowning more.
“My skin will get so much dust with all the pollution and all.” She replied.
“Ok!” I mumbled, and we both walked a few minutes and took a taxi.
“I think you should buy a car, Adithya. I really hate two wheelers.” She said looking outside.
“My salary will not be enough.” I said staring at her.
“No! It is actually enough, right?” She asked, turning towards me.
“I am saving money for us.” I replied.
“What will we do after a few years with that money when we can get some needs now?” She said shaking her head.
“This is what I have, Parul.” I said, taking a deep breath.
“If only you can take over the business.” She mumbled and frowned looking outside.
The happiness I thought while planning this outing left with bits for each few minutes we traveled.
“I got leave for a few days, and I am deciding we should go for a holiday.” I said when we reached the home.
“Where?” She asked excitedly.
“Goa! I booked everything and we just need to pack our clothes.” I replied happily with her excitement walking inside our room.
I started taking out the clothes to freshen up, but I saw that she is silent. I walked towards her and held her hand.
“What is it?” I asked her frowning.
“Can we go out of India? I want to see some new places. I already went to Goa many times.” She replied.
“But this time I will be with you right?” I asked smiling.
“Yeah! I will be downstairs.” She replied walking outside making me shake my head.
Maybe next year I can just try to use some saved amount and take her to the place where she wishes. Nevertheless, this time it is kind of tight, and I have already made the bookings.
I should have asked her before doing anything. You are stupid Adithya. I scolded myself and freshened up a little.
I will try to make it up to her in Goa. I decided and felt content.
*David Pov*
Finally I will be going to Switzerland. I wanted to go there from a few years but my Dad never gave the proper money, but now I can.
I should say to my friends! I thought, and updated the status in the social networking site.
I glanced at Janice and saw that she is already sleeping. She can do all the shopping she wants there while I Rome around visiting all the places I like.
Then I saw a status update from Parul and saw that she will be going to Goa. I smirked, thinking already how disappointing she must be feeling.
But she is going for the honeymoon? Well, she can do what she wants. I thought shrugging and drifted off into sleep.
*Parul Pov*
Switzerland? I frowned, looking at his status. Now I so wish I didn’t put any status. So he is finally going there and that too for honeymoon.
I wanted to do so much shopping when I ever went for a holiday after the wedding, but here I am going to Goa.
I so hate my life right now. Can’t he just once look inside the business world? There will be less work and more money.
I always thought he was a nerd and isn't the nerds actually have a bright future. Then, what is he actually doing serving in the police department?
I shook my head, feeling the headache and drifted off into sleep with complete disappointment.
*Janice Pov* “Where is he?” I asked out loud still calling his number. It is the first day of our stay in Switzerland, and he is missing from the morning when I woke up. And now it is evening, but still he is outside somewhere not lifting his phone at all. I am scared here not knowing what to even do. What if something happened to him? I thought and immediately gasped scolding myself. That cannot happen at all. I just hope he is fine, and if he doesn’t lift his phone in ten minutes, then I will go to the police. Then I heard the door opening and saw him entering the room with a big smile. I frowned and walked towards him. “Where were you?” I asked him sighing in relief that he was fine. “Just went to a few places.” He replied still smiling. “I was so scared David. I was waiting for you, and you didn’t even lift your phone.” I said and sat on the bed. “I put it in silent mode so that no one disturbs me when I am enjoying.” He said and now I again frowned. “Enjoying?” I asked
*Janice Pov* “Bhai! What a surprise.” I said, lifting his call. “Of course it is a surprise when my so-called sister forgot that she even has a brother.” He said, and I rolled my eyes. “Bhai! Class will start in a few minutes. I will talk to you later.” I said, looking at the students walking inside the class. “After the class is over, just walk to the café near the college. I will be there soon.” He said hanging up, and I frowned. “So what happened?” I asked him sitting in front of him. “You have to tell me what happened.” He replied with a serious expression. “What do you mean Bhai?” I asked him frowning. “Before going for the holiday, I saw that you are always lost in thoughts, but now you don’t even smile. What happened?” He asked, holding my hand. “Nothing Bhai! It is general in the marriages I guess. I am trying to get to adapt to him, and he is doing the same.” I replied. “How much time will it take? It’s been what seven months already.” He said sighing. “No one wrot
*Janice Pov* Something is wrong! I thought, rubbing my forehead and paced in our room. I am thinking the same for the past few weeks. I thought everything was fine when we shared the kiss, but looks like there is something else. My thoughts stopped when he walked inside the room as usual late and placed his briefcase on the table. That’s all! And now he will walk inside the washroom not saying a single word. Then he will sleep sometimes having dinner and sometimes not. I decided to take a drastic step not able to stay back and let him do anything. That’s why when he walked inside the washroom, I immediately took his mobile and opened the lock. I saw all the messages and call log, and everything is perfectly empty. I took a deep breath and called her number. After a few minutes, the call is lifted, but she didn’t say a single word. I waited for a few minutes and immediately cut the call when I heard the movement inside the washroom. I deleted that there was a call done from thi
*Janice Pov* I waited for him standing near the college campus feeling nothing but dreadfulness inside. I really hope what I am thinking is completely wrong. “What happened?” Bhai asked when I sat in the passenger seat of his car. “I promised you right Bhai. If I think something is wrong, then I will come near you.” I said, looking at him when he stopped his car at the corner. “Yes! Did something happen?” he asked frowning. “I think so! I really need your support Bhai and don’t ask me anything until I am sure.” I replied, and he nodded frowning. Then I requested him to take me to the restaurant, and he did without asking a single question. After he parked the car, we both walked to the reception, and I calmly asked, “Is Mr.David Silva in room 240?” “Yes! Is there any problem? Because he asked us not to disturb him.” She said, and I gripped the table. “No problem!” I replied and walked towards the elevator along with Bhai. I pressed the floor button, and I can see him stoppin
*Ben Pov* “What are they doing here?” I asked Abby looking at the visitors. “What are they doing here?” Abby asked looking back. “I am asking the same Abby.” I replied, rolling my eyes and walked towards them, but my parents beat me and met them in the half way. “Please sit down. I will call Janice.” Mom said and started climbing the steps. “Dad! What is he doing here after everything he did?” I asked him. “Ben! We are trying to set Janice’s life. Don’t spoil it.” He said looking at me. “What happened to her? She needs a little time and after that she will be normal and her life is still good, and she knows what to do.” I said and Abby squeezed my hand. “What?” I asked her whispering. “They will not understand whatever we will say. Let Janice handle them and we will support her.” She replied in a whisper, and I nodded understanding her. “What is it?” Janice asked, and I can see her eyes completely red. “Let’s sit down and talk clearly.” Dad said and made her sit down. “I s
#After few months# *Janice Pov* “Be careful, Abby.” I said, holding her hand properly. “I am fine Janice. Don’t worry about me.” She said when I helped her to sit down properly. “I want my Nephew or Niece to be completely fine, so that I can play with them.” I said smiling at her and sat beside her. “I have been telling her that she should start taking her food on the bed, but she never listens to me.” Bhai said, shaking his head and served for three of us the breakfast. “Poor Bhai! You are torturing him, Abby.” I said, winking at her. “It is just eight month.” She said, rolling her eyes while Bhai glared at both of us. “We have something to talk to you.” I heard Dad’s voice, and he sat on the table along with Mom. “Uh, oh!” I mumbled. “Janice! We were ok with the divorce and all, and it’s been a few months since it happened. Now why don’t you meet new people?” Mom said looking at me. “No!” I said without a doubt. “Just meet them and look for yourself. You can’t stop your
*Janice Pov* “Good morning, Ms.Janice.” I heard someone saying like everyday from the past few days and I looked up from my cup of coffee and a piece of chocolate cake. “Good morning, Mr.Adithya.” I said and gestured for him to sit in the chair in front of me. “Cake in the morning time?” he asked, looking at the plate. “When the parents start giving some serious pressure every day, then we need something like this before starting the day.” I replied. “Even I need one then. Today I didn’t get to escape my parents and got another request or order or demand. Whatever they think it is.” He said, and I ordered another piece for him. “When the first time we did as per their wish, but it backfired in the worse way they should give us space for the next one.” I started. “But no! They start showing the same hurry as they did for first or even more. They make it seem like no one can live without marriage.” He finished. “Yeah! I mean who doesn’t get scared for the next time. We have so m
*Janice Pov* “Will you be fine today? I am thinking of going out.” I said entering Bhai’s room. “You have been taking care of me and my baby girl for this one week. Which is more than enough. Now go and have some good weekend.” Abby said rolling her eyes. “You are sure right?” I asked her again. “Ben is just here to take care of me. And today is Sunday right. Don’t worry Janice.” She replied smiling. “Bye!” I said and kissed the top of my niece forehead. At the corner of my eye, I saw Bhai entering the room. I cleared my throat and said, “Thank god! She didn’t get any of Bhai’s features and that just made her the most beautiful girl.” Abby stared at me confused, and I signaled her behind me. She nodded, grinning and said, “Yeah! I am so lucky that she got only my features.” “What the hell guys. I am not that bad looking.” We heard Bhai’s complaining voice and burst out laughing. “You both girls will be the death of me.” He mumbled and sat before Abby. “Don’t worry! Your daug
