Devi's POV

After doing all other chores, I stood near the sink. I took the sponge in my hand and a bowl and started to do the dishes as it was the last work to do now. I pushed my hair strands back that were slightly wet in sweat now. The back of my hand brushed against my forehead. Water droplets fell along with my cheek.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

My phone rings that was placed on the kitchen counter. I looked at the caller ID while still washing the bowl.

It was Noor's call.

I reached for the phone but it slipped from my hand as soon as I picked it.

Oh no no no!

I tried to hold it before touching the ground but unfortunately the glass bowl fell from my hand and shattered into pieces.

The Phone? I gasped, fear ran down

through my body.

It broke too.

I quickly picked it up. It was half broken.

I tried to switch it on.

My hands were trembling against it.

"Please, Agar ye khrab ho gya to bua meri jaan le lengi?"

Come on!!

I sighed as the phone finally got on.

But half of the screen was not visible.

"Oh No"

I stared at the phone.

what if bua got to know about it?

My hand I put automatically I reached the ground for support as I sat.

Aaahh...

I cried in pain as a glass piece pricked my hand.

Are nahi!

I forgot about the bowl.

I put the phone down and took the piece out of my finger.

I hissed again as I felt a sting of pain in my finger.

The blood came out through the cut.

A tear slipped through my eye. I put my finger in my mouth to stop the blood.

"Hay Ram! Ye kya kiya tune?"

I stood abruptly as I heard Bua looking at the bowl shattered on the floor and then she glared at me.

I clutched my clothes and it stained my white kurti.

"You broke it? Can't you work properly?"

She snapped at me, making me jolt a little.

"Bua vo..."

I tried to explain,but instead of listening to me, her eyes found the broken phone on the floor close to my feet.

"Oh my god! You broke the phone too?" She rushed towards me.

"Bua, I was... aahh "She gripped my wrist causing pain to my finger which I literally forgot about but she rejuvenated it.

"Your father bought you this, huh?"

she snapped before twisting my wrist painfully.

I cried in pain as tears fall from my eyes soaking my cheeks.

She gripped my hair and shaked my head.

"ek kaam dhang se hota h ya nhi tumse?"

My hand instinctively went near her hand in defence.

She pushed me on ground. I fell on the ground. My hand landed on the glass pieces infront of me.

I cried in pain. Not just one, now my hand was bleeding with many small glass pieces pricked in my skin. I hold it tightly while crying.

"Now clean all this mess!" she ordered and left without even caring about my hand that was all soaked in blood now.

I sobbed uncontrollably as it was hurting like hell.

And the fact that no one is going to care makes it hurt even more.

My heart ached.

why me? why God?

why did you take my parents?

Why did you choose me for all this pain?

what did I do to you?

My throat burned as I hiccuped. I gulped all the pain collected in my throat but it didn't make it less.

It came again burning in my throat as if the pain was choking me.

" Please God...hitch... Pleaseee Don't do this to me now.. hitch... I can't handle it now" I muttered under my breath along with hiccups.

I closed my eyes tightly as tears fall.

I gasped for air. My body started loosening. As soon as my hand folded a little, I realised the glass pieces are still there. I hissed again as the pain reformed...but it never ended, it's just that I forgot about it. I took out a glass piece from my hand.

"Aaahh..." Blood dripped on my lap, staining the white kurti.

"Devi! ye kaise hua?" I heard Noor standing at the kitchen door looking at me in panic.

She rushed forward and knelt before me taking my hand in hers.

"Pagal h kya tu?... ye kya kr liya?" Her voice cracked with panic as She stared at my palm blooming in blood.

I wanted to be brave. I wanted to say It doesn't hurt too much though it does.

But all I could do was to stare at her while tears constantly fall through my eyes. I felt her hand wiping my tears away.

"Bas chup ho ja... chup bilkul "And it made me cry even more breaking down in her embrace.

She picked out the tiny shards one by one, her touch was featherlight, filled with care and love.

Everytime... everytime I feel like no one is going to come save me, no one is here in this world to ask

"How are you, Devi? Are you alright?"

She came.

She came everytime I need her without even asking.

Sometimes I feel like our souls are connected like it hurts her too when she sees me in pain.

I saw a tear slipping through her eye when she was focused on picking the glass pieces.

I swallowed the lump in my throat.

Why are you so good, Noor? that it feels guilty even in asking something from me.

Why don't you leave me on my own?

"Shut up!" She whispered, her eyes on my palm.

"Pr maine to kuch kaha hi nhi?" I whispered back.

She looked up at me. "Pr maine sb suna" She muttered.

We both looked at each other as if communicating with eyes.

A smile came on my lips.

"wah beta ji ! Tujhe chot lgi h aur tu hs rhi h?" She said while carefully picking out the last piece.

I hissed.

"Bs bs ho gya." She whispered assuringly and my smile widened.

"I am not a kid" I muttered.

"Yeah yeah I know it." She replied with a fake serious face.

"terko to serious hona bhi ni aata" I giggled.

"Shut up!" She slapped my arm lightly while giggling herself.

"chl teri dressing kr deti hu... Dekh kitna khun beh gya!"

"Ye saaf bhi to krna h " I said while pointing towards the glass pieces scattered on the floor.

"I will do it, You go to your room. M abhi aati hu ok?" She said.

I did not argue and went to my room.

Shiv's POV

"Bola to ha"

I replied to Rudraksh on phone. Rudraksh my best friend since childhood.

I fixed my collar with my free hand while walking through the corridor in office.

"No No No I don't believe, Schi bta tu shaadi kr rha h?" Rudraksh asked.

"Kyu, m devdas hu? Jo tujhe ykeen nhi ho rha h?" I replied seriously.

He chuckled. "Nhi Nhi aisa kuchh nhi h bs tune pehle btaya nhi Kya hua? kaise hua? How did you find Bhabhi?"

"Fursat me btaunga kbhi" I replied while opening the door of my cabin.

I saw Aarav with a file opened in his hand.

"Hey bro! what's up?" Aarav said while putting the file back on the table.

"what are you doing here?" I asked him while entering in the cabin.

"M to bhed chra raha hu yaha" Rudraksh said on phone.

I clicked my tounge in frustration.

"Tujhse nhi puchha" I said.

"Nothing bhai. Maine socha thoda office ke bhi gede shede maar le" Aarav said while sitting on nearest couch.

I nodded.

"Rudraksh, I will call you later. Abhi tu bhed chra le" I said

on phone while sitting on my chair.

"my cat and Meow Meow with me huh" Rudraksh said.

"Improve your english man" I said with a chuckle.

"Shi khel rhe ho beta, ok bye" he said and hung up the phone.

I diverted my attention towards Aarav.

"Pehle to kbhi yaad nhi aayi tujhe office ki"

Aarav laughed dramatically.

"Kya bhai, aap bhi pichhe hi pd jate h"

"I came to tell you that Masi has arrived for the wedding and Bua as well"

I nodded while removing the watch from my wrist and put it on the desk.

"Maa ne bola h ki vo sh shaadi ki shopping krne ja the h"

Aarav said

"ok" I replied

"And they called you too." He said

"I am very busy today & can't..."

"Bhabhi bhi aayengi" He cutted me in between.

"M itna busy bhi nhi hu m aaj vaise" I said before clearing my throat.

"Hm..Hm.." Aarav teased me with a smirk.

"But I will be late.. Tum log jayo m ajaunga" I finished without looking at him.

"ok bhai jaisa aapka hukum" Aarav bowed dramatically at left.

Maa called devi.

"Hello beta"

"Hello maa. kaisi h Aap?" Devi asked softly.

"I am good beta. How are you?"

"I am good too Maa."

"Beta hum aaj shadi ki shopping ke liye ja rahe hain. I've sent the driver to pick you up... and no arguments, you are coming.Ok?"

"Ok Maa" Devi replied.

"May Noor also come Maa?"

"Of course beta."

The call ended.

"Tere phone ko kya hua, ye tut kaise gaya?" Noor asked as she finished dressing her hand.

"It fell on the ground" Devi replied while taking her hand back.

"Oh"

"Maa has called us for shopping and You are coming with me"

"Ok, I am coming baba" Noor said while giggling.

"You should change. Your dress is stained in blood." She added.

"Right, I should change." Devi said and went to change.

After few minutes. She came out.

They heard a car horn.

"I think Gaadi aagyi hai, chale?" Noor asked.

"Yes"

They both went outside and sat in the car.

"Chaliye bhaiya" Noor said.

Shiv's POV

As I was working on my laptop regarding my new business idea, Mr. Trivedi rushed in the cabin, breathing heavily as if he came here running.

"What happened Mr. Trivedi? All right?" I asked him as he came and stood in front of my desk.

"Sir... Sir actually Your new business idea..."

He was still catching his breath, his voice tensed.

"What about that?" I asked as my eyes narrowed in confusion.

"It got leaked!" he finished in one go.

"What?" I snapped in frustration and anger.

I stood abruptly.

"How?" I ran hand through my hair as anger boiled within me. I tried to calm down. I drank the water from a glass placed on my table.

Relax Shiv!

But how could it happen? It was a secret. No one knew about it. Not even Dad. Just me and Mr. Trivedi.

It was so crucial for our company to grow even more.

"Sir, Corna company has announced your idea as theirs. They copied it for sure. Every little detail is similar to your idea. It isn't a coincidence." Mr. Trivedi's voice tensed.

"Who can do this? Who can leak this information?" I questioned myself while placing hands on the table.

"Sir..." Mr. Trivedi spoke.

"Hm?"

"Mr. Veer came to your office before you today."

I looked at him.

Veer? He can't do this.

But..he can do anything to win.

Something that will turn out against our company?

No he won't. We manage it together professionally.

Because the compa

ny belongs to Papa.

He won't do anything against Papa.

But a part inside me was still seeing him as a suspect.

I stormed outside to clear the turmoil.

I drove towards our house.

"If he has done it, he will surely regret it"

I muttered under my breath as my jaw clenched.

The car's engine roared...
