Love the update. Eagerly waiting for Anya's love session. 😊
Word Count: 1
Each one us has heard the phrase," Water under the bridge," meaning something which has happened in the past that can't be changed. But that's not exactly the case always, because all know past can be changed but it might not be forgotten easily. What might be happening for several years could be put to rest by one strong step, a step that might shock all the self obsessed and greedy souls, who are so drowned in their own lives so much to not see the hurt they are causing the others. Hence, one statement, few words, one right announcement brings chaos and uncertainty but excitement as well.
Anant was pacing around the small cottage, as the doctor checked on Navya. He was outraged, agitated and furious at his family but at the same time he was helpless too. His helplessness was driving him insane because he should be the first one standing up for her, but he never spoke one word against the cruelty done to her.
He exactly remembered that 11 year old, bubbly and chirpy Navya, whom he saw for the first time in his backyard dancing in the rain like a carefree girl. Those beautiful eyes were filled with life and mischief, at that time which he found very fascinating and amusing too but now those eyes were lifeless. There was no shine in them, they only held pain, hurt and a silent plea which he very well know but still he wasn't doing anything.1
He was thinking of a way out only, when he saw the doctor along with Nimisha coming out of the Cottage. The second Navya fainted in his arms, he has scooped her up in his arms and laid her down on her bed while Nimisha called the doctor.
"Doctor how is she?She is fine right!" He asked rushing to them while nimisha was taken aback by the level of concern she saw in her younger brother's eyes. He never cared for anyone this much, but today for first time she felt that, he cared. He really did!
"She is fine. She is just stressed out and I don't have to tell you the reason of her depression now, do I Anant?" The lady doctor replied and Anant looked away not able to see the truth of his family in a strangers eyes. She was their family doctor, hence she very well was aware of the Bajpai's behavior with Navya as she herself has witnessed a great deal of it when she came to check up on Sughanda a few times.
"Anant bhai all I can say is you have power too, use that to save someones life rather than letting those powerful people hurt an innocent. Because God forbid, if something...
"Don't say a word more!" He declared with confidence cutting the lady off while both the women were taken aback by his sudden statement. Giving one look to Nimisha he made his way inside the Cottage, wanting to check on her himself.
Anant locked the door and took slow steps towards the bed where she laid. Her face was pale and he could sense the swelling of her eyes even when they were closed. He sat down on his knees and raised his one hand to stroke her cheek.
He hesitated for a moment, but finally, listening to the voice of his heart, he caressed her one cheek, with the back of his fingers with an unknown emotion forming in his dark eyes.
Navya opened her eyes slowly to only see Anant infront of her and for the first time, she saw something different on his face. She felt the touch of his skin on her cheek and her eyes watered sensing his care. It was in his eyes at that moment and he didn't need to voice it out, because she knew him inside and out.
Anant pulled away his hand and stood up on his feet, giving his back to her while she sat up straight on the bed. Both closed their eyes as a lone tear escaped but not wanting to show their vulnerability to the other, both quickly wiped it off.2
"You rest for the day. You have weakness. I will send Jennifer with your food and then take your medicines," he said in one breath and walked out of the room as Navya kept on staring at his retreating back with a heavy heart.
It was 7 in morning, when navya entered the Singhania House, and the second her eyes went on the big dining table, her eyes widen in shock.
Anant sat there eating an apple while nimisha was seated beside him and the rest four members stood there shooting daggers at him while he simply ignored them and resumed his eating activity.
"Big brother, I am not a model that you are staring at me with so much of love. Look at your wife and please your eyes," He stated with sarcasm dripping from his each word while navya gasped in shock. Never did he talk to anyone this way, then what happened suddenly.2
And most important the bajpai's on the dining table. That was a real shocker.
"Ahh, navya. Good that you are here. Now listen to me. From today onwards you won't take anyone's meal in their rooms, not even mine. You will serve them here on the dining table". Anant announced standing up, as navya made her way towards the table while nimisha controlled her laughter seeing the horrified looks on the four faces.3
"What??" All the four screamed together while Anant raised his brows and replied, "Did you all got a hearing problem? Should I speak again".
"What does this mean that we will have to sit here and eat?" om asked annoyed.
"Ahh, Ohh. This means that, the poor dining is getting bored because we aren't using it, so I thought that why not provide it some entertainment when we have done the courtesy of placing it in this big house," he replied with an evil smirk.
"I am never going to sit here and eat. I want my meals in my room only and when we have this burden so what's the point of even troubling ourselves. She will do our work". rama argued and navya flinched again at the word which didn't go unnoticed by Anant.2
Turning his attention to his sister in law, he glared at her first and then spoke in a harsh tone, "Bhabhi, I thought you were a biology student, but I am surprised at your knowledge that you don't know that one human should keep on walking to keep themselves maintained. Breaking mirrors is a secondary job, so you can surely do some trouble of picking up your body from your room and walking over here".2
"Is this the way to talk to your Bhabhi?" mohan asked outraged as rama shot daggers at Anant while navya looked away seeing the murderous looks rama was sending in her and Anant's direction.
"Bro, when you yell or throw files at people's faces, do I speak in between? No right, so shouldn't you be returning the favors too!" Anant mocked while a small smile crossed navya's lips, as she heard his words. She never needed more other than him acknowledging the truth.6
"And one more thing, from today onwards Navya will only do my rest of the work. I have recently found out that she doesn't do your works on time, so she will only cook meals for all but the rest of the things she will only do for me," he added while Sughandha gaped at him in shock and om and mohan gritted their teeth in anger and rama walked off to her room, cursing him.
Navya gazed at him in a surprised look, while nimi too stood up from her place now. Surely, her brother has finally decided on to something, and she was sure of it by the looks he had in his eyes.
"Have you gone mad?" Sughandha asked pissed. Shock would be understatement for her in that moment, but the animosity she was feeling for Navya, was beyond than any hate or rage.
"What's there to be mad in this my dear Mom? She will work for me and I will only pay her because I am feeling like you all are forgetting that, what you all earn in one year, I earn that much from my one show. So if I pay her appropriately for the amount of work, she does for us, I don't think anyone should be having a problem with that".
He replied and started to leave but stopped as he turned around remembering something and walked upto Navya while she looked down embarrassed.
"Don't dare to defy my orders from now. Now come with me!" He ordered authoritatively and started walking ahead towards the Elevator while she followed him, too confused to even say a word.
Once inside his room, after a confused ride in the elevator of half a second, navya finally gathered some courage to question him. He started to remove his T-shirt as she walked upto the cupboard to take out his clothes.
"Why did you do that?" She asked ironing his shirt as he ran on the treadmill engrossed in watching a movie.
"I did what I wanted to do. Don't question me because I hate it," He replied with attitude in his voice and she shook her head at his tantrums. Only God knows what is running in his brains.6
"Don't go. Stay here only till the time I am home!" He said as she was about to leave after cleaning everything, while he still did his workout.
Navya turned around as she saw him standing in the middle of the room looking intently at her. She took slow steps towards him as they continued their eyelock, while their heart beats raised on its own accord.
"Why are you doing all this?" She asked nervously standing infront of him, and he raked his fingers in his hairs again and again, as he too was feeling those alien feelings. He never thought to ask her to stay but when he saw her leaving, he couldn't help it.
"I don't know!" He replied and walked off to the washroom, while she smiled a little through her tears. He was making her feel something special, something different which was straight from her heart and never had she felt that way for anyone in her life.4
On one side where the two hearts have started to come close inspite of all the differences prevailing around them, on the other side those who were the ultimate eaters of power were busy planning the downfall of this new growing bond.
"How could he do this to us?" Mohan yelled pacing around his parents room in the evening. All the four have summoned there to discuss the sudden turn of events but more than discussion, it was the taking out of their frustrations.
"She had filled his ears against us otherwise the Anant who never spoke one bad word, Today he cross the line," om said thoughtfully while all three agreed.
The basic reason for them not taking any drastic action infront of Anant was only the fact that he was a star. A rising star who was bringing them, enough of Fame and glory and for one single person, they can't lose that hen with golden eggs. They all knew that if they went against him, then he was even capable of taking them all down, hence they kept quiet for the time being. But how can money minded people ever take their humiliation. They seek for an opportunity to counterattack, isn't it so now?4
"Let him go to Goa, then I will teach that Navya, a good lesson that she will forget complaining," Sughanda declared with an evil smile on her face, while all three gave knowing smiles to each other.9
Navya was laying on her bed, with a smile continously playing on her lips. She had been back to the Cottage after cooking the dinner, as per Anant's order, she was not suppose to stay after her work was done.
She had been overwhelmed with emotions for him, and she couldn't help but feel like smiling throughout. It was after years, that she was smiling but still the pain in her heart couldn't be healed in one day after all, the infliction of pain had been for several years now, one day can't erase the bad memories but surely his support was making her feel confident.
"Mumma, you always told me that he is different from everyone. For the first time, I felt it. He really is different. Different in a good way," she complimented Anant smiling all the while. Sadly, it is the truth of life that those who had been craving for love since days, even if they get one percent of it, they feel that they got everything and Navya could be considered among one of them.
She picked up the radio and switched it on, and the second she heard the song, a blush crept her cheeks because it actually defined her current situation.
Main Pareshan was being playing and suddenly, she felt like dancing, her favorite time pass. She stood up from her bed, and with confidence started doing the steps like that of the professionals lost in her own dreamy world.1
The song was about to end, as navya was going around in circles not caring of the direction she was going, but simply moving with the rhythm of the music, and before she could hit the wall, she landed straight in the arms of the owner of the dark eyes, as they stood in the pose.
"So you have secrets too?" Anant asked in his husky voice, while Navya's eyes were still shut tightly, but Anant kept on smirking as his mind planned a mischief.3
The hearts are growing fondness for each other, while secrets are making their way out for the two souls to connect in a more stronger bond!+
How was the chapter guys? So Our Navya dance too, exciting isn't it so? So what mischief do you think, Anant is planning?
