30th SeptemberTamaz and Maahir were in the office, striking their last attack on Diana Industries to snatch their most anticipated project."Will it work in our favor?" Maahir asked a little suspiciously when his lips pressed into a thin line."Of course," Tamaz said while typing on the screen."But...""Don't underestimate Rudra's plan." He said while glancing at Maahir."I'm not, Tamaz. I've seen his capabilities live, he can do wonders in deals." Put his head down in deep thought."Then... What's with that look?" Tamaz pointed his index finger with a puzzled expression."We can't underestimate Daniel Bhatt. He's still the chairman of Diana Industries." Maahir said while he became lost in his thoughts."I agree.""Hmm.""Is anything wrong?""No! It's just that...""Have you got any internal information from their side?""Um... Yep!!""What's it?""Apparently, Diana was all out to get the deal to save her pride. She's even ready to accept immense losses."Tamaz shook his head in res
Dressed in a velvety maroon knee-length dress, which hugged her slim curves. Her hips swayed while a dazzling charm radiated from her exposing her skinny legs. With her maroon stilettos clicking on the white marble floor, her straightened hair flowed with the cool breeze giving her an exquisite glow.08:00 PM. Tanvi reached Ocean restaurant, Mumbai when her colleagues were already present in the private room. Looking at the underwater restaurant, her mind blew, and she gaped at the mesmerizing beauty. Entering their hall, with the aqua presence a refreshing wave overwhelmed her.The large dining table surrounded by beige walls with the noise of flowing water felt so surreal that they jumped out of joy."Ugh! You came finally," They complained with a pout.She chuckled, "I'm just fifteen minutes late. Don't make a fuss out of it." Tanvi cheekily said, "Happy project closing party guys," she made a toast to her colleagues.They ordered a feast of Indian cuisine. While eating, "Tomorrow
The earthy smell occupied her house while they lay beneath the sheets. With the earsplitting thunders, they took the pillows and tried to cover their ears but failed. The sounds of water droplets hitting the streets were like a rhythmic concert.Tanvi woke up and reached the window. Gazed at the cloudy sky while lightning struck with thunders gave her peace. "To calm my inner turmoil, maybe I needed this." She pondered and slid the window open.She put her face out while the heavy rain struck her delicate face with full force. Yet, she didn't even feel an ounce of pain. Instead, her lips curved into a warm smile.After playing wholeheartedly in the rain, she became drenched and danced in the room with banging music like a crazy kid. With all the sounds, Ameera finally gave up and joined Tanvi. The cheerful waves of laughter resonated in the house.Looking at her accustomed attitude, "Thank god. She's back." Ameera felt relaxed. A burden in her heart faded."If he dares to do anything,
01:00 AM. Inside her house, Diana was still mad with the embarrassment at the Builder's Dynasty. Sat in the living room holding a wine glass in her hand with an owlish look a vicious grin escaped her lips.Grabbed the photo frame and stared at the tall man intently while brushing her fingers across him, "You're indeed ruthless, Rudra.""You've successfully tricked me." With that, she threw the wine glass, and the white marble floor was stinking with the smell of wine.Strode towards the window, pushed the curtains aside, and glanced at the calm water, "you hurt my pride." She mumbled. "What I didn't do for you?" A troublesome expression settled on her face, "yet you didn't spare me for once?""You'll regret this, Rudra." Her hands clenched while memories hit her."I'll make you pay for your deeds." She asserted and dialed Farhan.Farhan rubbed his eyes and lifted the call, "Yes, Mam?""I want the insider information on what Rudra is up to.""Mam..." His drowsiness vanished hearing tha
Tanvi sat inside her house and began thinking about what her mother said earlier. "I know how much you wanted to hear about me getting married, mom." She muttered holding onto the pillow."This time I won't hide from it." She promised to herself."Either way, I couldn't escape from it forever. Why not now?" Glanced at their family picture, "If this was the price to pay to make you happy, then I'm willing to do it.""I'll try with my all to fix my marriage as soon as possible." Her eyes gleamed with the determination to fight her fears."Aiyah!" She gasped and hit her head, "I forget to tell you about the conversation with Riaan's mother." With that, she dialed her mama."Hi, sweetie!! How're you?" mamma asked."Hello, mamma!! I'm good, how're you and papa?""We're good, sweetie. So any progress with Riaan?" she asked with curiosity."Huh! That's the first thing on your mind?" Tanvi hissed in annoyance."Ew... It's not like that. I'm just... being snoopy." Her mom adjusted her saree an
Tanvi finished work early and got home a little earlier than usual. She quickly changed into her pajamas and flipped onto a music channel while sitting on the couch, and began painting the completed draft.The silent hall was replaced by relaxing music. Those heart-touching beats were easing her nerves while filling her soul with endless peace. Music was her best method to alleviate her mood, and soon, she started humming the tune.When her round black eyes were focused on the swift movements of the ink and brush, her body began swinging freely with the background music, which was a feast to her ears.Her keen concentration was interrupted when a loud vibrating ringtone kept on making an irritating sound. Her slender fingers searched on the couch beside her, but to her surprise, it's not present there."Ugh! Where's my mobile?" Her eyes rolled across the living room, but there was no trace of it."Ah! This is frustrating," her fists punched the couch while yelling and stood up to stop
14th October"Let's go for a walk?" Marina asked Tanvi when she was sending the last report for the day. Raised her head and gestured with her hand, "Five minutes."Marina nodded, "I'll be outside."Tanvi finished her work and strode outside where Marina was waiting for her."Hmm. So, what's up?" Tanvi asked with a smile while moving forward inhaling the fresh breeze."You need to say. How things were going on?""About?" Tanvi asked with a frown.Marina chuckled, "your engagement."Tanvi's cheeks reddened with the mention of it, she touched her nose while her eyes gleamed, "Riaan was coming in less than two weeks.""Wow! That's good news." Marina exclaimed lovingly while glancing at her."Hmm.""How about your parents? Are they satisfied?""Yep!! Both families agreed to it. My parents were like on cloud nine, their long-awaited dream was coming true." Tanvi said becoming a little sentimental, remembering how much she delayed it and caused worry for her parents."At least it was happen
10:00 PM. At home.In the freezing night, his eyes fell on the swimming pool. The sudden urge to relieve the stress that's bothering him kicked in. Strode to the glossy, flat-surfaced, marble-tiled pool area, he gasped heavily as if he's suffocating with the events, "I needed it." Rudra muttered and dived in with no second thought.Intermittently, when he's in the water, his tensed muscles will relax automatically, as the turquoise water itself was a remedy that soothes his nerves and heals him. It gives him the strength to fight back. In short, it's his heaven.In those definite moments, he'd kept the past aside, cease to analyze the future, and enjoys being in the water. He doesn't worry about what's wrong, what he's supposed to do, who he'll become in the process of fighting his demons. In its watery embrace, there's only the present, nothing more.After spending a few hours swimming, he lifted his exhausted body while water droplets were receding from him. Sat on the marble-floor
