Arjun PovAnaira had gone back and I was left all alone. Mama(maternal uncle) and uncle were with me. Everyone was on their way to the hospital when I called them to bring some warm clothing for us as it was getting cold. They were just halfway so they turned back to the mansion. About half an hour later my phone vibrated indicating an incoming call. Leena was calling me. Seeing the caller my face lit up. I moved a little farther, away from the older males. “ Hi sweetheart, already missing me.” I was grinning ear to ear. If someone sees me, he would judge me as a fool.“ Arjun, this is not a time for jokes.” Her anxious voice alerted my senses. Something was off in her voice.“ What happened? Why am I getting the vibes that something is not right.” I tried to keep my voice steady“ Nothing is right. Anaira.” The way she took Anaira’s name made me anxious.“ Leena, everything is fine. Is she hurt? Please tell me fast. Just a few days back I found my sister.” M
Anaira Pov The bright light dancing on the window, penetrating through the curtains awakened me, making me aware of the beginning of a new day. I stretched my limbs and opened my eyes. My head was throbbing with pain but why? Then all of a sudden like a flashlight, last night's incident flashed in front of me like a slideshow. All of my senses were awakened by this realization. Was it really Bhai or someone else? Who was my saviour last night? Was he really my saviour or someone who took advantage of the situation or one of them? I turned my head around and synchronized the room. The room looked familiar but how come? I still remember leaving the house. A snap of fingers broke the chain of my thoughts.“ I see you are awake.” I was never relieved so much, after hearing the familiar voice. Leena stood there with a tray in her hand. She came near me and touched my forehead.“ How are you feeling? Here I have brought your favorite breakfast. Aloo kachori and chutney ( a type of dip).
Anaira PovThe three of us guided Ma and Papa to the table where two garlands were kept in a tray. They exchanged the garlands. All of us showered them with flower petals. The grass was filled with various coloured flowers. The air was filled with love and compatibility. On one side of the garden, a table was set with all types of delicacies, sooji halwa( desert), jalebi( desert) aloo paratha, cutlet, idli muffins, pancakes, fritters. I helped Ma and Lenna helped Papa, who sat in the middle of the table. After serving them all of us sat with them.Arjun joined us after some time but he was silent except for a few forced answers. I was feeling guilty. After finishing my breakfast, I stood up and went inside. As if on cue, Arjun entered, I dragged him to the other side of the room which was a little bit secluded.“ Arjun, I am sorry. Please forgive me. I was being childish. It was all my fault that I ran away without thinking of the consequences.” I held my ears and dropped to my knees
Arjun povI wouldn't have forgiven myself if anything had happened to Anaira yesterday. She is not only my sister but also my friend's would-be wife. After so many years of loneliness, Jai had found his happiness in Anaira. His heart would have shattered if anything had happened to Anaira. It was a childish act which I needed to stop. Seeing her sleeping peacefully is a relief. and now I should leave as tomorrow is a big day for the three of them. Their parent's silver anniversary. Uncle and Aunty were very upset by her antics. Thinking all this I drifted to sleep. The next morning, I went to have a look at her and found her talking to Sheena. Anger took over me after I remembered yesterday’s incident. I went away after greeting her. We didn't even acknowledge each other ‘s presence during breakfast. I was being childish but I couldn't help it, I can't even imagine the consequences of her childish act. She is my sister and after a lot of nagging on her part, I forgave her. After
Anaira Pov Hearing the screech of the tires I came running towards the entrance. My happiness knew no bounds, the moment the car entered. Kavya ran towards me the moment the car halted. She came near me and hugged me.“ I missed you, mama. Did you not miss me? You never came to visit me. Why? Am I so bad?” Her voice was hoarse, tears were glistening in her eyes. My heart ached to hear my little girl who is also my lifeline complain about such a trivial matter. I was now regretting all the antics I had done.“ Never think like that. You are my heartbeat.” I was kissing Kavya’s forehead. Kavya's favourite uncle approached us. “ Come on princess, everyone is waiting for you.” Arjun took Kavya’s hand and went inside but not before winking at me. I felt embarrassed at his implication. He went in whistling. “ I feel so lonely. No one is there to care for me. I think I should return.” Jai whispered near my ear. Heat rushed through my veins due to his being so closed. He planted a k
Jai Pov I wished I could have spent some time with Anaira but here she went in and enjoyed chatting with everyone. Now she is going to help Kavya in getting ready. I took it as an opportunity to steal some moments. After a few moments, I excused myself and followed Anaira. Kavya was asking for a sibling from Anaira. A smirk found its way to my lips. With calculated and steady steps I entered the room and hid myself behind the curtain that was near the door so that Kavya couldn't see me. Anaira was clueless about my presence. Taking it as an opportunity, I slid my hand on her bare back and whispered in her ears. She was startled to hear my voice. Before she could speak anything, I started kissing the nape of her neck and her bare back. An involuntary moan escaped which alerted Kavya. Hurriedly I retreated from the room and in the process bumped into someone.“ Bhai, why are you running like this? If some female ghost is after you or did you just come
Jai Pov An ap on my shoulder made me turn around. “ Hi, Jai. God to see you after such a long time.” She said with a smile on her face.“ Hi, Mala. Only if I can say the same for you. You haven't changed a bit. How come you are here? ” I scratched my forehead. I didn't want to talk to her. All of a sudden she pulled me from the collar of my shirt and pecked on my lips. Before I could react she hugged me. “ Oh Jai, I am unable to move on. I still love you. Please marry me. I have changed a lot. Just say it once that you love me with a kiss and I will leave you. I will cherish this moment forever.” She whispered to me. She looked at me with pleading eyes. I felt helpless but I wanted her out of my life so I turned around to see if anyone was looking our way. As such it was the deserted side of the garden. “ I love you,” I whispered only for her to hear and peck her lips. Yes, I don't know why but I can see a wicked smile.“ Jai you can't get rid of me. Before I forget, I want to t
Anaira Pov Everything was going so smoothly that no one would believe that it was all last-minute preparations. Everyone was happy. Their faces said so. Jai took me aside to have a couple photoshoots. I was feeling awkward at first but after a while, I felt at ease and we gave so many intimate poses. Jai went near the photographer.“ Listen, mister, these photographs are meant only for me so you better get them ready and then delete them. If I ever find them anywhere then you wouldn't want to know the consequences of your deed. Better do as you are told.” He gave him a look which said, “Dare you go against me?”“ Sir, rest assured. It is against our work ethic to share pictures without consent. One more thing sir, do you want a hard copy or a soft copy.” He spoke in a professional tone.“ Show them to me and then I will tell you which ones I want in hard copy and which one in soft copy.” We followed him to where his laptop was. Jai selected five pictures of which two were to be made
