Chapter2 Uma made a concious effort to breathe slowly and deeply as he looked through the medicine cabinet. ” Losing precious time by frantically searching won’t help.” he told himself. Finally his hand rested on the bottles he was searching for. He carefully took them off the shelf and set them on his table. He then briskly walked over to another shelf full of empty vials. Picking one up randomly, he walked back to his table and started mixing the two medicines to form the concoction he needed. Within ten minutes, armed with the object he had come downstairs for,…

Chapter1 A wave of utter despair washed all over her as she stood over the sink fighting back intense nausea. ” I can’t go through this test. This is too demeaning. Even if I get the papers like this, what I will become will be unacceptable to Bhabho and myself. But without the papers, I have failed in keeping the promise I made to Ma Papa, to return Bhabho’s happiness. What’s the use of my life now?

Anya beamed and got down from Aashi’s lap. “Aachi don’t mind Mumma.” she said throwing Anika a cheeky look that made all the ladies in the room laugh out loud. ” Chalo Bhai.

I’ll text her.” Simran looked out of her side of the window. ” If she was wondering, she would have sent a message or called.” She breathed in deeply. ” Priyanka is deeply involved with Shikhar’s organization it seems. He wanted to discuss something about it with her urgently, two days before her big day.” Soumya heard a sharpness in Simran’s tone that made her uncomfortable. “…

It might help spread the message.” “Yes.” Priyanka agreed.” That sounds like a good idea. Once my opening is over, I’ll prepare for it. What are the documents you wanted me to look at?” Shikhar was silent for a couple seconds. ” Did you text Soumya that she should come to the boutique with Simran?” “I forgot. I’ll…

Now will you stop roaming the corridors at night with a candle in your hand?” “I did not roam with a candle.” Soumya said unable to stop smiling. “By the way, since when do you call Aai, Aai?” “Since this afternoon when she told me that she was very proud of me for being an excellent son, brother, and friend.” Soumya’s​ eyes became very wide. “She did?” “Yes.

He looked at her wide, open eyes with their anxiety and her soft skin with some color returning to it. It was a face that invoked myriads of memories, deep seated emotions, and a fierce sense of attachment in him.He felt a little speechless for a while. As Soumya felt the mounting tension within her, she decided to break the silence. “Let’s talk. You wanted to tell me something about your feelings and why you did what you did. I have had…

As he put on his comfortable pair of sweatpants and a fresh T-shirt, his mind kept going back to the stricken look in Soumya’s eyes. ‘What has happened? It’s my fault for sending her confusing signals and not saying anything clearly. With our past, right from its beginning, it would be so easy for her to come to wrong conclusions. I know she cares about me…” he ran a hairbrush through his hair and went to Soumya’s room, only to…
