Hey guys,

I would like to dedicate this chapter to all those who are starting a new phase in life with or without someone.

Cheers to all those another phase in life 💞💞

Love

His arms are strong

enough to hold every

fear, every beautiful

broken piece of me.

This man doesn't

just make me complete

He completes me.

I felt myself drifting off to the lanes of my thoughts as I viewed the trees running backwards the same way beautiful moments passed by in my life.

The affairs in the bank was not quite so normal. They did my iris scan, took my finger prints and many more. It felt as if I went through a full body check up.

"You won't be going back to collage hostel, due to security reasons. Sorry beta, but can't do anything about that."

I turned hearing Dad's words.

I knew this would happen but it's okay I guess. Marrying a man who owns a big part of the wealth in the whole world is not easy, with the new lifestyle comes a constant fear of life and safety. But I'm gonna miss the hostel life. Will Rits and Dan stay with me if I ask them? No I can't do that I can't deny them the hostel life.

Wait... I think I forgot something...

"Dad, it was a joint account right, then why Abhimanyu didn't come?"

I really don't know when I became a person who depends on someone else this much or longed this much to see someone.

"Abhi already did it, you are a new member to the family. Our family has a section in the bank as in we have collaborations and all, so you were added to the Shekhawat clan today."

Dad explained, I sort of knew it since I saw the way employees in the bank acted.

"Dad I can't use the money, Abhimanyu is not even here, you know right." That the thing I need is not the money or glamour but a certain person in my life. I wanted to say but I refrained myself.

"Beta you have to accept this, you are Abhimanyu's wife, you are a part of this family and you have full rights on everything around you. And as for his presence, do you really think he will let you away from him? Trust me there are more cameras than you can count in that mansion. And he have also left a human camera ie, Roger. You don't know both of theirs relationship I'm still not able to come in terms with the fact that he left Roger with you. The only thing is you guys won't be having much of direct contact to each other, otherwise he is always with you. He is just one call away from you." Dad spoke mirth coating his tone.

"He really planned everything. Right?" I said as if I was accusing him than a question.

Dad took a moment to answer the question his lips curving into a small smile.

"He is like his Mom. She was a person who always planned everything. Not only that, but every decision or look he gives out has that Anuradha touch in it. That same perfection, elegance.

I really had my doubts when he came up with the idea of this marriage.

All my doubts evaporated the instant I saw you walking in with that tray, ready to strike the first chance you get." He laughed even making me laugh, remembering that moment.

"Anuradha Mam was one of a kind, at the time when I started the Shekhawat industries she was the one who guided me, she was a bestfriend at the same time a strict teacher. I still remember asking for Radu's hand in marriage from her, since their parents died when they were young. So Mam was nothing less than a parent for Radhu. She was a great support all through it. Now when I think of it I'm not sure whether I did all that was in my power for her or Abhi."

Hearing the doubt in his words I can only imagine how great Abhimanyu's Mom was, to make such a great person like Ajay Shekhawat to have this much doubts about his actions.

"Dad, you should never have second thoughts or doubts. Trust me you did great. You can't even imagine how greatful Abhimanyu feels for helping him through the dark. He loves you Dad don't even ponder on that."

This is the minimum I can do for him as his wife.

I didn't notice when we reached the mansion. I saw Mama and Ananya coming out with their luggage. Yes they are leaving. I think it's high time I start doing things for myself. After hearing this much about a lady who stood in the world alone and now realising I'm her daughter-in-law I feel I have to be strong not because she was strong but for becoming who I really have to be, meant to be.

Ananya hugged me tight against her frame making me come out of my thoughts.

"I'm really gonna miss you Di. Call me when you get time. I love you." Her eyes filled with tears ready to spill.

I hugged her back, just like that without another word we both knew it's time for goodbye. I kissed her cheeks, both of us smiled looking at each other. I'm thankful that she didn't bring up Jay in between all these.

Next Mama came and hugged me.

"Take care beta. Call me everyday okay." With that she kissed me.

Dad gazed at me before side hugging me. "Stay strong." He whispered in my ears. After about 10+ hours for the first time I smiled truly without a trace of fakeness in it.

"Bye Aaru"

With that they left.

I felt a presence beside me, I turned to see Roger standing to my left.

"Did he leave already?" It was more of a statement than a question and we both know whom I was hinting to.

"Today 6am in the Private Jet. He reached half an hour back." I thought he was leaving after Mama and Dad. Guess he doesn't have anything to hold on to here. I thought with dismissal and dejection.

I'm thankful that Roger didn't play dumb about Abhimanyu's whereabouts.

"Can you stay in a room near mine inside the Mansion? Please."

I pleaded in a voice which I will never believe to be mine.

"Sorry but I can't I will stay there only I have messaged two of my numbers save it call me whenever you need me."

He told while pointing towards the outhouse which was very near the mansion and had a small connecting passage to the mansion.

So finally it's two of us I guess!

"Aaru!"

I turned back hearing Roger.

"Please check your Email. And the things from your hostel is placed in the hall, check whether anything is missing. Here is the ATM card for the expenses. The maid prepared food eat it. And yeah, water the plants in the balcony and don't stay late."

Roger kept on rambling and finally stopped.

"Did he say anything else?" I asked

"No" Roger replied absentmindedly maybe after realising his words he looked up, his eyes ready to fall off from its sockets. I couldn't hold back and started laughing.

Roger kept on staring at me. He started once I sobered up.

"You know right all this is for your own good?"

At that moment I knew he is not just a bodyguard for Jay nor is he for me.

"I know, but it's hard. You know first rejecting the marriage then coming to terms with it then having 3 or 4 days which was nothing short of living a dream and again another day, all of it is a over. He left not even thinking of saying a proper goodbye, I mean a conversation where both of us speak. But trust me I'll be all right. Good Night Roger."

I turned on my heels and headed to the Mansion. I saw the bags from hostel placed there. I took them with me, me being the lazy ass surely won't do it after a decade if I didn't do it now. When I entered the room I noticed something different, but I was not sure what but when I entered the closet it was clear as daylight. Half of the closet which was covered with Jay's dresses and accessories were empty, just the way I feel now.

Empty...

No, no more tears I told myself while my fingers curled and fisted together.

I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat. I took a deep breath effectively bringing my emotions in control. I started sorting my things placing it in my side of the closet. I took a bath and went downstairs with the laptop which was placed there which I bet was my Husband's gift for me. I reheated the dinner and had it. I think the maid will come in the morning.

After dinner I settled on the sofa and opened my mail in the laptop.

Veracity

I clicked it knowing full well what it was.

It was basically like a Google form I had to decide my branch for internship, the package and everything. I was informed that the appointment form and rest will be directly given by the collage.

So this is it.

I'm back to my old life after a small roller coaster ride. But this time around I knew for sure there was always a person behind me ready to catch me, not out of responsibility but because he trust in me, trust in a person I will be in the future.

And he is ready to give me wings to fly......

Fly High......

Btw guys I would really like to change the blurb as I was always thinking of doing it after the revelations. But I really don't know what to write(I'm really not good in that, I promise I tried.) So if you have any idea or blurb. Please help me. DM me if you have any idea. We can move on with it if me and
