So I have decided to set a target to complete this book as soon as possible. Honestly I'm not getting the proper result of my hard work. So it is what it is.

Author's POV

Adi took Vidya in his arms and settled her in his car. He drove her to the nearest beach. It was a calm cozy night that vidya wanted since this morning. The pain she suffered from was killing the inner soul of Adi.

Kuch yun ishq tha unn dono me

Ki mehfoos na rkh saka voh

Chal diya agni pariksha me

Apna naam dene ko.

Keh diya h usne usse

Mohabbat h vo uskj

Aankhon se drd chupaye

Aisi zakham h uski.

They didn't talk. They were silent listening the sounds of the waves. One man approached them and gave them two cups of coffee. He told to add extra sugar in her coffee.

When she tasted she unknowingly looked at him—as if asking " How do you know? Nobody knew this. Not even Parul " He did this so many times but she noticed today. Not because she had nothing to think. But she had too much to process. Her mind was giving the signals to rest yet her body was denying the fact. She was screaming inside and looking the silent waves outside. She was healing her heart by breaking her wounds. It was peaceful yet disturbing.

She was breaking her soul just to protect herself. But little she know what's about to happen next.

Adi's POV

I'm sorry vidya. I couldn't protect you. I was so close to you yet always distant. I want to save my little vidya. My soul , My heartbeat, My calmness, My reason to live. I know you're hiding too many things but I can't ask you. Not because I'm afraid you'll break down again..but because I'm doing the same. I'm doing the same Thing bacha.

I'm hiding so many facts about your own life. I know each and everything yet I'm hiding the fact. Just few hours more maa will tell you everything. She'll answer your questions. You can question us. Doubt us. But just don't leave me janaa.

Vidya : " Adi..tum kabhi mujhe chor ke jaoge toh nhi na? "

( Adi you'll never leave me right? )

Adi : " Kabhi nhi. Mar jaunga par- "

( never. I would rather die- )

Vidya : " Aisi baatein mt kaho..dil ghabra jata h "

( Please don't say this. I am afraid to lose you )

Author's POV

They looked at each other. Some droplets fell on her forehead. She looked up and screamed " ADI BAARISH ". She stood up and started enjoying the soft droplets falling on her. Adi was looking at her like she was the only thing he wanted that night. She was finally happy. It felt like God was giving her a reward for being a strong lady. She was his favourite.

She was all wet. Her hair was messy. Her face without makeup. Her pink top blue jeans are wet. Yet to him she was looking the most fragile, beautiful lady there. He carried her in his arms and covered her with his jacket.

" Thand lag jayegi janna apko. Chalo ab car me bht bheeg li. "

" Lgne do mujhe thand ap smbhal lena. "

They laughed. They sat inside the car and looked at each other. She was looking effortlessly beautiful. Her big eyes were seeking his attention. He wanted to kiss her. He wanted to feel her. He wanted to tell her how much He loves her. By gathering all the braveness he had he finally asked

" Bacha..Can I kiss you? "

" Adi..apko puchne ki zrurt nhi "

He leaned closer, and she felt the warmth of his presence surround her. Their eyes locked, and everything else faded away. Slowly, he lifted her chin, and their lips met in a soft, lingering kiss. It wasn’t hunger or lust—it was something deeper, filled with care, love, and the silent promise.

His hand moved to her waist, holding her gently. His lips met hers for a soft, lingering kiss, and then he whispered,

“Do you know the best part about your face?”

She shook her head.

He kissed her cheeks softly and said,

"They’re as pretty as your eyes—and they make me want to smile every time I see them."

Then he leaned closer to her ears, pressing gentle kisses,

"They’re the best because they listen to all my stupid talks, even when I ramble."

His lips traced her eyes next,

"Because they see me in a way no one else can."

Then the bridge of her nose,

"And this.. reminds me that I want to stay close to you, always."

They stayed like that, his hands holding her, her heart quietly learning why he loved every part of her. She rests her forehead in his shoulder and slept.

After 2 hours she woke up with a sound of glass breaking. She opened her eyes in fear only to see some stranger yet familiar people in front of her. She couldn't speak as if her voice was stuck.

" Beta tum uth gyin? Ab kaisa lg rha hai tumhe? "

( You're awake? How are you feeling now? )

Savitri spoke in a soft tone. Her smile assured Vidya that she's safe here. They know about each other but this was the first time they were talking. After sometime Vidya was frank to her. They started laughing and talking. Just then Adi and avi entered with a file. They kept the file in front of vidya. Avi rested his head in her lap and asked

" Bhabhi maa, agar hum apse apke bhale ke liye kuch chupaye..toh kya ap hume chor dogi? "

(Bhabhi maa, if we hide something from you for your own good.. will you leave us?)

" bilkul nhi Avi. Mera ab aplog bhala chaho ya bura, mai aplog ko aur ni chor skti "

( Absolutely not Avi, I can never leave you guys )

She said while caressing his head. She was running her fingers through his hair. Just then she felt someone's eyes on her. When she looked up..she was shocked. Adi in front of her while making a baby face. He ran to her and rests in her lap. On each side they were sleeping like a baby..

[ Now let's reveal the truth ]

Savitri : " Beta you need to know something "

" Apki asli maa ka naam Rakshita h aur apke papa ka naam Samar. Yeh Mr and Mrs. Reddy ne apko adopt kiya h. Actually beta...Rakshita meri best friend h..aur tum meri best friend ki beti ho. But ek accident me unn dono ki jaan chali gyi. Aur hume bola gya ki inke sth ek bachi thi uski bhi saasein nhi chlri h. Aur hume laga vo tum ho. Par baat yeh thi ki waha koi dusra bacha aa gya tha. Car accident me 3 logon ki jaan gyi apki mummy apke papa aur ek bachi. Aur apko zada chot na aaye isiliye ek aunty apko whaa se orphanage leke chali gyi. Par isse pehele ki hum aplogo ki body dekh pate unhone sb kaam kr diya tha. Apka ghar ka naam Nyra tha. Par jiss orphanage me ap rhe ho unhone apka naam Vidya rkha. Hume aakhir tk yhi bataya gya ki ap mar chuki ho "

( Your real mother’s name was Rakshita, and your father’s name was Samar. You were adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Reddy. Actually, dear.. Rakshita was my best friend — and you’re her daughter. But both of your parents lost their lives in an accident. We were told that there had also been a child with them whose breathing had stopped, so we believed that child was you. But the truth was, another child had been brought there. In that car accident, three people lost their lives — your mother, your father, and one child. You were taken to an orphanage by a woman before we could even see the bodies. Your name at home was Nyra. But at the orphanage, they named you Vidya. And until the very end, we were told that you had died.)

" Mai janti hu Preeti ne tumhare sth bht glt kiya hai. Usse mai khud saza dungi beta..par please yeh ghr chor ke mt jana. Bahot saalon ke baad mili ho tum mujhe mat jana ab kahi. Mai janti hu tumhare sth pichle 4 saal se kya hua hai. Maine he kaha tha Adi ko tumpe nazar rkhne ke liye, par iss gadhe ko tumse pyar he ho gya "

( I know, dear... I know that Preeti has wronged you deeply. And believe me, I will make sure she gets the punishment she deserves. But please, don’t leave this house. I’ve found you after so many years — I can’t lose you again. I know everything you’ve been through these past four years. Every pain, every tear. I was the one who asked Adi to keep an eye on you, to protect you from afar. But this fool... he went and fell in love with you instead. )

Vidya laughed softly and said

" Kahi nhi jaungi maa, yeh mera apse wada hai "

( I won’t go anywhere, Maa that’s my promise to you.)
