Chapter 38âWhere is she?â Samanvay asked Dolma when he opened his eyes and found himself in a hospital bed. He was tired and in a lot of pain, still all he could think about was his wife when he didn't find her in the crowd of people surrounding him. There was only Dolma and doctors along with the medical staff. No one else. âWhere is Manya!â Samanvay demanded Dolma who jumped at his sharp tone. âMaster she. She..â âDolma, where is my wife!â He shouted angrily hearing her stutter as he tried to get up from the bed. The doctor rushed to stop him, âMr Goenka you need rest. Please don't stress yourself.âSamanvay gave him a threatening glare and the doctor froze in his steps. Samanvay couldn't believe his wife not only shot him but left him when she should be taking care of him. Does she really hate me this much? Samanvay thought. Does my love really mean nothing to her? Samanvay was stunned and angry at the coldness of her heart. How could someone be this cruel? She even tresp
Samanvay laughed at the anger in her words. He never thought this would be his first romantic talk with his wife. âYou witnessed my love for Lisa which is not a lie, Manya. As I said, she is my friend. The most important person in my life is Lisa Mccain. I can die for her and she for me.ââSamanvay. I am not getting your point here. Why is she this important to you? She treats her husband like garbage but treats you as if she couldn't live without you. Her husband hates your relationship with her.âSamanvay sighed. âNo he doesn't think like this. John has no such doubt about our relationship as you have.âShe gave him a skeptical look. âI sawâŠâHe placed a forefinger on her lips. âManya. Listen to me carefully, I don't like giving clarifications about my character to anyone. Lisa is only a friend. A very close friend. Lisa, John and me, we both were in the same Orphanage. We lived our whole life with each other. Lisa took care of me when I used to get sick, she stole food for me when
âWhy are you standing here?â Manya scolded her wounded husband as she walked and stood beside him. Samanvay was staring at the calm sea. The calmness looked exactly as the one before the storm. He glanced at his wife with raised eyebrows. âI was thinking about something.âManya gave him a small smile and encircled her arms around his neck, looking into his dark yet sofy eyes. âWhat have you been thinking, Samanvay?â âAbout our baby. I want the best for him or her,â He caressed her lower lip with his thumb while gazing into her beautiful deep eyes. âI will give our baby the love and care and protection I never got, Manya. Our baby will be the happiest kid on this planet.âManya smiled hearing him. âYes, our baby will be the happiest kid in the world,â She said, giving him a soft kiss on his lips. âCome let's have lunch. I cooked it myself.âThat really shocked Samanvay. âYou know how to cook?â He asked with raised eyebrows. âI thought you were not inclined towards these homely matt
âManya!â Niam Sehgalâs voice boomed through Samanvay Goenkaâs living room, making Manyaâs eyes open wide as she broke their kiss and turned towards the direction of the voice. She got to her feet, stunned seeing her father and brother along with police officers there. âDad, Anav? What are you both doing here and what is the meaning of this?â She demanded an explanation from them, her eyebrows clenched together in a deep frown as she eyed police officers. Anav remained silent while Niam was giving Samanvay a murderous glare. âI came here to save you from this hooligan!â He snapped at his daughter who let out a deep sigh.Fuck man! Father-in-law and his ugly timing. Samanvay cursed Niamâs entry as his wife broke out of the kiss. He let out an irritated breath before turning to the tyrant standing in his house and shouting at his wife. He was so impressed by his guts that the old man brought police to his home as if they could touch him. Didn't he know who Samanvay Goenka is and how
âHow are you feeling, Darling?â Samanvay asked Lisa who made a face. She was not happy that she was far away from Samanvay. But due to Milan Goenkaâs knee surgery Samanvay asked her to stay in Mumbai. He promised her that he would bring Manya back to their house. Lisa had no choice but to stay back; however, she kept checking on her baby through Samanvay. âI am fine, what about our baby? Is he fine, Sam? Is she taking care of my baby?â she demanded inquisitively. Samanvay gave her a stiff nod. âManya is taking care of our baby, Lisa. You don't have to worry about it. Take care of yourself and Father.â âI am taking care of him. But I want you to take care of our baby, Sam. My Jacob is in her womb. If anything happens to my son, I won't tolerate it.â The corner around Samanvayâs eyes wrinkled once again hearing the tone of possession in her words. Samanvay could see her obsession was back. He needed to talk to John about starting her therapy once again. With a charming smile to
âI have a surprise for you,â Samanvay said, pulling her close to him as they entered the premises of Goenka mansion. Manya smiled, âWhat surprise?â She asked, gazing at him through her long lashes. He kissed her knuckles softly. âYou will know,â He told her, his deep voice fluttering her heart and she rested her head against his chest. Manya was truly, genuinely in love with Samanvay. Nevertheless, She was still in shock at her feelings, she who promised herself to never love anyone again fell this strongly for him? How did this happen? Manya didn't know but she wanted this feeling to stay. They entered the mansion hand in hand. Today, Manya was feeling like a newly married woman stepping into her husband's house for the first time. âSam, You came back!â Lisaâs excited voice sounded, making Manya stiffened as she sighed deeply seeing Lisa running to them. âHow are you and the baby doing, Manya?â Lisa asked Manya with a smile. Manyaâs eyebrows curled together at Lisaâs calm tone
âHer therapist has high hopes. She is showing positive results from the last few months. Her addiction to liquor is reducing.âSamanvay sighed in relief. He had Lisaâs therapy started immediately after he returnedfrom Greece. He was thankful to the lord for helping him in this. Now that she was showing positive results, He could gradually start hinting to her about his babies. She could be an aunt not a mother to them. Manyaâs delivery date waa around the corner. The last seven months passed in a blink, with happiness and ease as Lisa kept her promise and maintained a difference from Him and Manya both. She was blissful about the arrival of the babies.âWith Godâs will, she will be fine soon, John,â Samanvay was optimistic about her getting fine but not John. He knew the truth behind Lisaâs liquor de-addiction. She was thrilled to get her hands on Samanvayâs son. She was adamant Manya would give birth to boys only and She had already claimed them as hers and Manya as nothing but
âMom?â Manya was stunned seeing her mother in her house. âWhat are you doing here?â Hina Sehgal gave her daughter a soft smile. âI came to meet my grandchildren.âManyaâs throat welled with emotions hearing that. She longed to talk to her mother during her pregnancy phase however, she couldn't. Her pride didn't allow her to take the first step not after what her Father and Brother did. Samanvay never talked but she was aware of how her father was creating issues for him. Manya loves her mother but she knew her fatherâs domineering nature would never let her mother talk to her. The fact that she was standing in front of her today, was not less than a shock to Manya. âWhat about Dad, Does he know?â She couldn't help but ask. Hina smiled at her daughter's questions and walked further in the room. âI thought you would be happy to see me here but you keep asking questions, Manya.âManya held her motherâs shoulders lightly, âYou know I am happy to see you here, Mom. But you know how Dad
