‘What happened? where was I?, Is this some kind of a joke or am I seeing things?, Am I awake or still asleep?,’ she tried hard to recollect things again, was she imagining anything or did she miss out on something,’ her mind was jumbled up again, she looked at the man in a daze as he neared her
“Its all true, everything happened for real, just that you lost consciousness half way through the ritual, but that was how it had to be,” he walked next to the bed, placing the glass of milk on the bedside table, he pulled a chair for himself and sat next to the bed
“Wh.. what are you talking about?, I sa.. saw you in the bo.. box, the kid, where’s the kid, the kid? her voice rose as she thought about the kid, she'd felt instantly connected to the child, “was he okay?, where is he? why was he in the glass box? if you’re here the
“4-4 years,” Maya’s hand subconsciously went to her chest, like she was trying to relieve herself from this feeling of strangulation.“Yes, 4 years,” his smile couldn’t hide the sorrow that shone clear in his eyesWe had met in college at Singapore where she was completing her architecture,”“College!?, you mean that you ...,” she looked for the right words“Yes, I was a rebel in my tribe and always wanted to explore different dimensions to develop this island for my people, so I wanted to learn things and had decided to attend a college, it was there that we met and eventually fell in love,”Maya was stunned beyond words as she tried imagining her little sister’s love story beg
Through broken voices and disturbances, Tazz could hardly make out anything of the conversation taking place inside, he shook John violently and demanded to be taken inside as he could no longer wait for Maya, he was worried about her.John woke up to a very aggressive Tazz, he shuddered at the aura that Tazz emanated, he immediately got on his foot and guided Tazz.“maasi mom, when can I see my little tigress?” he asked enthusiastically “Anytime my little doughnut,” she smiled warmly“Tee-heeehe heeee , little doughnut, I like that name Maasi mom,” he laughed happily“Why don’t you visit Singapore with him sometime,” she invited Petnovak and Damika&ldq
“NO, You can’t do that,” she looked at him with sudden deep sorrow mixed with anger in her eyes, Tazz was shocked, not knowing how to react, wondering what happened to have caused this change in her feelings towards this island, he tried to touch her cheeks to calm her down, but she pushed his hand away, like a stubborn little kid“No, No, NO,” she shouted, “I want to go see them now,”Tazz picked a plate and readied it for Maya, he served some steamed rice and some lentils along with fried vegetables, he spooned a portion and extended it towards Maya, feeding her, she simply looked away again, a big pout formed on her face.Tazz exhaled a sharp breath, “Maya, I said no means no, I don’t like repeating myself, now be a good girl and eat,” he held his extended arm like that
On their way back, Tazz kept stealing glances at Maya who remained quiet , she was overwhelmed with all that happened in the last few hours, suddenly she had a family, a nephew, a brother in law who was more like her brother, a set of elderlies who called her their daughter, it was like all of a sudden she had everyone, she had a home and she didn’t want to leave them and go away, she wanted to spend some more time with them, make and collect some more memories with them, she wanted to be with Little Tiger, she was happy that Tama had a brother and unlike her and Mahira's useless brothers, this brother of Tama would protect her. She felt happy that Mahira was still alive in that little kid.She felt a lump form in her throat and it pained, she had this urge to cry again, the more she controlled those tears the more it pained. She had found this treasure suddenly only because of her little dove, her Mahira. S
that’s when she froze as her gaze went to the bed.Sonia’s bare shoulders and slight bit of mounds of her breasts were exposed from the black satin duvet that she lay beneath. She was in deep slumber, a reddish purple bruise at the side of her neck and above chest glared into Maya’s eyes, Maya looked around , the dining table had 2 glasses of champagne, a finished bottle, some chocolate sauce and strawberries on a platter, cloths strewn across the floor, she caught a glimpse of black and red satin bra and lingeries thrown recklessly across the couch.Tazz’s shirt lay next to them and his pants were on floor at the foot of the bed, she remembered that he’d worn them yesterdayThe phone in Maya’s hand slipped and fell to ground, waking Sonia
Dear Readers, This chapter onwards we shall refer to Maya again as Mahira to avoid any confusions .When Mahira entered the Jindal tower, she looked exhausted, the journey back was exceptionally tiring, or maybe she missed the comfort of being around Tazz, she couldn’t sleep a wink , neither on the cruise nor when she reached home all exhausted. The house seemed to haunt her with the little sweet and sour memories that Tazz made with her in that one night stay he had at her house. She remembered how he looked overjoyed when she had prepared his favourite breakfast, then her heart cracked a bit as she remembered his request on the cruise, he wanted her to make him his favourite Paratha for breakfast till they returned.Putting her thoughts aside she went to the kitchen to get a glass of water for herself, placing the glass back on the kitchen table, s
"Oh Mahi!, How I wish it was untrue, but all this is for true my dear, they played you up, fooled you and so now I think you should put your foot down and fight to get that show of yours back to you, you cannot let your audiences be left at the hands of such despicable people who might give the callers some cheap, fake advice,"Mahira snorted a small smile, 'put my foot down !! for whom? for what ? for a show, Julie was kind to think about those callers and audiences who didn't even know me and vice versa, while here I am, ambushed by the very people whom I trusted , people whom I counted close to my heart were the very ones who had assaulted my heart, be it Tazz her love or Sam her friend, well, thankfully he was not a close friend like Ana or Mak,' she thought ruefully, she'd be devastated if it would have been them."Mahi, Mahi," Julie shook her gently, "It's okay, you
Sonia had a brilliant idea flash through her mind“Er.. Well, Miss Mahira, its okay if you want to quit, that’s entirely your decision, but I hope that we haven’t done anything to offend you, I hope you’re not upset with me till now,” she pretended to be concerned“No, absolutely not Miss Sonia, that’s not why I’m quitting, as I said I have some personal matters to look into in emergency, hence I have no option but to quit ,”“Oh I see, then who am I to stop you, you must go ahead and handle your issues right now, but Mahira, I hope you remember that you have signed a contract and you might be penalised for leaving without serving a notice period,” Sonia reminded her, “ and knowing Tazz, the way you left the island truly angered him, you never know, he may be t
