Jai Pov The realization that because of my father, Anaira and Arjun lost their parents hit me hard. I don't want to pressure Anaira for anything. She is my best friend's sister and hence will remain dear to me, but if she doesn't want to be my wife, then I will not force her. However, it is quite difficult for me to live without her. After Anita, she was the first woman ever to cross the boundaries I had set, and the thing is that I allowed her to break those boundaries which she had broken without making any effort. Like Arjun, she has a heart of gold. I need to collect my haywire thoughts. Maybe a walk in the garden would help me sort out everything. I was going out when I felt a hand on my shoulder. “ Bhai, I want to talk to you.” Both of us went out into the garden. “ Bhai, I know you must be worried that since now you are not our brother, we would treat you differently or, worse, would not acknowledge you as our brother. Nothing has changed. You are and will always be my elder
Arjun Pov Kavya came running inside. She was looking anxious and nervous. Tears were gushing from her eyes. “ Didi,” She called Anaira. I ran to her and picked her up. “ Princess, what happened? Why are you crying?” I wiped her tears with the back of my hand.“Chachu's dad is lying in the garden. He is not answering. Blood is everywhere.” Her sobs increased. I was stunned for a few moments. Hearing everyone’s loud voices and their running out brought me back. After handing Kavya to Anaira, I ran towards the direction of the pool. The scene in front of me shook me to the core. Jai was lying in a pool of blood. He was not responding. Instantly I dialed the emergency and called an ambulance. I went near him kept his head on my lap and shook him. Uncle sprinkled water, but he didn't respond. Raghav was trying to tie something to the wound to decrease the flow of blood. There were bruises on his face. Something caught my attention, and without attracting anyone's attention, I picked i
Author’s Pov After what felt like an eternity, the doctor came out. Immediately we surrounded him. “ Doctor, how is my son?” Yashvardhan was the first person to speak up.“ The operation was successful.” All the faces were beaming with pure joy.“ But,” He continued. “ Due to the large amount of blood loss, his heart rate and blood pressure have dropped. Though blood was transfused on time, his body went into shock, which meant his brain was shut down for some time. We are doing our best, but it seems he has lost the will to survive.” The doctor paused for some time“ Doctor, please save my son. His daughter is too small to lose both her parents. She is waiting eagerly for her father's return. You are considered equal to god. I beg you.” What an irony of life. He is the king and still begging and pleading with folded hands. With all the wealth and money he has, he cannot buy his son's life.“ Sir, I am just a human being who is trying his best to save your son. That is my duty, but
Jai Pov"Where am I? I Don't remember anything. Hope Kavya is safe with Dad and Arjun. What place is this? I don't know anything about it, but it seems so peaceful. Wait, it seems like heaven. Am I dead? No, this can't happen. Kavya would be all alone without me. Let me move around a letter so that I may know what place this is. "After moving for some time, I saw a lady with her back towards me sitting on a bench. I started moving towards her. She looks familiar from the back side. Just then, she turns around and walks towards me. I can't believe my eyes. I was looking at the first love of my life, my wife, Anita. Wait, if I can see her, then definitely, I am in heaven. With slow and calculated steps, she approached me." Jai, is that you? What are you doing here? How is our daughter Jai? Please tell me if she looks like me or you. Since you are here, our daughter will be all alone. No, Jai, you can't remain here. You need to go. Our daughter needs you. " "Anita, wait, you want to le
Anaira Pov I am on cloud nine today as Jai will be discharged. He has healed, and even I have healed. Ma, oops, I know you must be wondering who Ma is. After she came to know everything, she started taking good care of me. She had abstained from doing household chores even after I had recouped. " Anaira, how are you feeling? I have brought this vegetable porridge for you. It will speed up the process of healing and will give you energy. " She kept a tray that had porridge and juice in it. " Aunty. " She kept her hand on my lips. I wiggled my eyebrows, asking her why she kept her hand on my lips." From now on, call me Maa. I know it is too hard for you to forgive my deeds, but I would be forever indebted to you if you would forget the past and call me Maa. I don't want to take your mother's place, but I would be happy and contend that you have at least forgiven me and given me a place in your heart." From that day on, I have started calling her Maa. It was a sweet gesture from
Jai Pov"Dad, you are here. I was searching for you in the whole house." Quickly I pulled myself away from Anaira. I was feeling embarrassed as my daughter saw us in a compromising position. I crouched to her level and pulled her into my embrace"Sweetheart, I was coming to meet you but someone has locked me inside the room. " I gave her a sad look." I wanted to meet you, Dad. I missed you so much." A lone year dropped from her eye. I felt bad for not meeting her first. " I too missed my doll." I peppered her teary face with kisses and started poking fingers." Daddy, stop. Daddy please." She was laughing as I kept on tickling. We played like that for a few minutes then I got up dragging Kavya, I went near Anaira." Sweetheart, would you be happy if I married your Anaira didi and make her your Mom." Anaira hid her face in my shoulder while Kavya started jumping and clapping." Hey, Anaira didi will be my mom. I would have been sad if you would have married someone else. Anaira didi,
Jai PovAfter lunch, Arjun and Raghav dragged me to one of the rooms where they helped me in getting ready. I had inquired with them several times about the event that is supposed to take place in the evening but both the thickhead dimwits were not telling me anything. I was walking on a thin line. My patience was hanging on a thin wire which could break at any time. Finally, both of them asked me to accompany them to the garden. I was awestruck by the way it was decorated(Psst, if you want to know how it was decorated then please go back to the last chapter). They made me sit on the sofa. I was looking here and there searching for my Angel but she was seen nowhere. Even Kavya was missing. I was about to ask Dad about Kavya when my eyes landed on the entrance. There she stood looking like an epitome of beauty. The saree did justice to her curvy structure. It accentuated her curves sensually. I was drooling at my fiance. With each step she took towards me, my heartbeat accelerated. Sh
Jai Pov“ It is my angel’s birthday today and nobody has even cared to inform me. Wait, when Arjun and Anaira are twins then their birthday should be on the same day but today is not Arjun’s birthday then how is it possible.” “ Don't put so much pressure on your mind. Both of us have been brought to different places. Hence the different birth dates.” I was not satisfied by Arjun’s explanation. As Dad had told us it was their birthday party that he was going to attend. I glanced in my Dad’s direction. He stood near me.“ This is the actual date of their birthdays but I had changed Arjun’s date as it always reminds me of the horrific incident and how I failed my sister.” Dad was about to step down when I held his shoulder.“ Dad, even I am the reminder of that day.” “ Never say that Jai. You were the only best thing that had happened on that fateful day. Don't curse yourself. You are a blessing to our lives. I know you are trying to cover the fact that you don't have a gift for her.
