Hey readers😊

Double update......for all you sweet readers😉 Promise kiya that ki main jaldi hi aaungi aur mein aagyi......the reason why it took me long was that i was not well.....even now i not completely okay ....but still thought to make you guys happy by updating.

Enjoy😍😍😍

Walking hand in hand with him was really torturous......his grip on my hand tightened every passing second as more pain pierced into my nerves......but i was challenged to put up an extremely fake smile on my face throughout to look presentable to the invited guests.

When we were almost in the sight of my paremts, i couldnt bear any more pain with his harsh grip, that i tried with all my might and slipped off my hands from his hold. When i glanced at him hurtly, he just looked ahead to our parents whereas i gave a glance at my now reddened palm......my hand looked as if burnt in the hot stove. It was that red with his hold tightened around my soft skin. Even there was shooting pain in my palms now.

But i dint get much time to mourn over my paining hands as we were already infront of our beaming parents. Mumma took Kabir into a happy hug and he bend down to take papa's blessings. Meanwhile Dad gave him a disapproving look and he mouthed a small "sorry" making Dad sigh deeply. But he neither looked at his mother nor acknowledged her presence.....now does he also have a problem with his own mother as well........just can't get information to know about this suspicious peraonlaity.

I was truly amazed by his acting skills that he showcased in front of our parents.....nobody would tell that he was the same Kabir Singhania who degraded me and pushed me out form his life a few hours ago ......hats off to his oscar winning acting.

Then mumma clasped my hands and i hissed due to the pain, gaining all the eyes around to focus their vision on me and mumma's eyes widen at the reddness colouring my hands. She worriedly asked "What happeneded Kia? Why is your hands so red? Also there is swelling in your palms?" and thats when everyone mlnear surrounded me and looked at me for an explanation including our friends who hadnt noticed Kabir's tight grip on me earlier.

Inorder to not worsen the situatuon with guests around who would go gossiping around even if they get a single hint of anything, i trailed out chuckling nervously " Mumma its nothing to worry about..... What happened actually was that i hit my hands on the nearby surgery table.....at that time it didnt pain much so i neglected.....but looks like it just got swelled on our way back home......it will get alright soon....so stop worrying." i said cupping her face gently at the end.

Mumma still looked worried but now she hit my head and scolded me saying " You are grown up Kia.....atleast now just take care of yourself......you care for all your parients in the world but when it comes to you ......you just neglect yourself......this is not gonna be like this.......i want you to take proper care of yourself." She said seething anger eyeing my red hands as her eyes were wetted by some tears.

Then papa said "Your hands are really so red Kia......you should have taken care." He said seeing my condition in a disspointed tone and i smiled brightly.....as brightly as i can in this situation and said trying to lighten up the atmosphere "Papa......you know that i am your princess......i am a fighter papa.....i will be back to my own good self really quick....so dont worry." and then he smiled slightly at me and hugged me close to his chest where i felt a warmth generating in my body around papa's presence......seems like this is the only safest place for me.....now and forever.

Then he patted my head "I know that sweetheart." and mumma scolded us saying "Rajeev you are the one who is spoiling her......dont always support her like this....this will make her more ignorant about her health." but papa just ignored her advice and asked "What about the patient?" I was a little hesitant but answered as i had no other way " The lady was pregnant.....so there were some complications. We saved her...." "but the child couldn't make it up." finished Nitya completing me with a failed face. Mumma patted both our heads and said "Seems like the child wasnt supposed to be born now.....dont worry you guys did a great job. Atleast you could save the mother right. You guys did a great job." And papa passed us an encouraging smile.

Then mumma along with the others dragged both me and Kabir to the centre and made us both to be seated. Then mumma took my hand in hers and gasped "Oh my God....Look how red and dark your mehendi has coloured your palms." and she swayed her hands and swinged her hands around our heads with money and asked the waiters to pass it on to the poor. Then Nitya and Riya yelled making every eyes to be pointed towards us "Seems like Kabir is going to love you a lot after marriage....after all thats what your mehendi screams right now.....you are literally glowing Kia." They announced and i chuckled bitterly at Kabir who didnt even bothered to make a move to see my sulken face which they announced to be as glowing.

While i gained those helpless glances from Reh, Sid and Abhir. Seems like all three were feeling terribly guilty for his actions.....but that was not needed. Its he who should feel guitly and not them......but do i care if he is guilty or not......not that i take some concern over it.

Then even Nitya and Riya got their mehendis done and finally mumma asked Kabir "Beta do you want to write Kia's name on your hands?" and even before he would reject the offer, i beat him to it saying a loud "No" and mumma raised her eyes questioningly and i chuckled and answered a little low this time "No mumma....i was saying he wouldnt like all that. Leave it na." but he threw a bomb saying "Its okay mumma....i can write her name on my hands when she can write mine on hers." and mumma's face lit up brighter than the sun and she grinned at me showing her all 32....oops sorry maybe she doesn't have a full set.....but with all her teeth. I was quite surprised but them the surprise on my face subsided as i knew that he would be probably doing all there not to create a scene and act all lovey dovey to ensure that his reputation doesnt go down in the society.

Typical Kabir Singhania.

Then the mehendi artists took up their work and proceeded with Kabir's mehendi and i heard him whisper something into them secretly low. I didnt care much but to make up my moood more sour, i saw Reh and Sid far away and watching Kabir with pure hatred. I felt as if i was the one to create a rift between these best friends. But then they looked up to me and passed me a smile.

Later the mehendi was finished and mumma awwed us by taking his hands in hers and calling all the guests around.

And that was when i saw an initial K with S inscribed in mehendi beautifully on his hands. It was sinple yet elegant .....but K would stand for me obviously but what does S stands for and to my happiness and relief, mumma voiced out my inner question and he answered her smiling slightly "K for Kiara and S for Singhania.....as she is soon going to be one.......its that she is also our family now.....right Dad." He asked and his dad nodded happily but i knew that this was just a fake act to convince his dissapointed dad after his late arrival.

Then soon the function was wrapped up and we went back home tired by all the rituals and me mainly because of today's showndown at his office and then the critical surgery we performed. thee smile with which i kept my foot out of the house in the morning was no more on my face when i enterd the dark hallway and then went straight to my bed.

Quickly yet hastily pulling away all the jewellery and that heavy outfit.....i changed and went to bed in the hope to grab some sleep......only if i get some......i would be able to be decked up for the next functions.

And point to be taken into important consideration.....he didnt even utter a word to me throughout the function.

It took me long but i was finally off at somewhere between 1.45 and 2.30 am the next morning.

Next day was quick as in a flick of an eye. And again the same routine followed but this time. Riya and Nitya arrived early in the morning to wake me up and followed me up through my whole breakfast, some funny talks and then atlast to my outfit selection and makeup.

My outfit....it was a pretty off white silvery shimmery lehenga......not too heavy but just making sure to enhance myself for the sangeeth.

Then within half n hour we reached the venue and not like last time.....Kabir was already present but Sid and Reh and even Abhir was nowhere to be found.

Kabir lead us and especially me to the main stage but this time i didnt gave him the chance to hold my hands.....i dont wamt to get maried with a broken hand.....so i protected myself this time.

His outfit was so hot and he looked so damn handsome to be true....but another true fact though was that he was no longer to be mine now.

Then we entered the open outdoor venue and saw some people busy gossiping about the luxurious decorations while some envied our pair.....but look people we aren't that lovey dovey couple whom you should be jealous of.....we are already in a broken relationship....but alas i couldnt keep my thoughts to the world.....because mumma and papa are excited as hell and i dont want to kill their happiness.....atleast i can do this much for them for they have endured all pains to bring me up to this level.

Parallely my eyes wemt to the dinning area with delicious north Indian dishes and desserts but right now i was not hungry. For reasons you all know.

Soon Nitya and Riya left my side as they had to play up with the dj for the songs as there was a dance battle going on between the groom's and bride's side.

When i was looking around, i saw Abhir at a distance waving at me and then came runing to my side and asked me "How are you bhabhi?" and i smiled at him genuinely saying "All good Abhir......" Then i paused and he asked "Is there something you want to tell me Bhabhi? Go ahead.....just think me as your younger brother....you can open up to me about anything." He said encouraging me and i asked him more like in a requesting tone "Abhir can we talk somewhere in private?" He nodded right away and lead me to a secluded area where there wasnt anyone present at that time.

Then i released a breath and made him sit on a chair while i sat next to him and trailed out genuinely "Look Abhir......i know that your relationsgip with Kabir has changed a lot after what happened yesterday night......all i want to tell you is that its between the two of us.....just the two of us....between me and him. So you dont have to keep a cold face to him just because he spat those piercing words for me.....no you dont have to do that....i know you love Kabir more than anyone and you respect him too.....you would have a lot of memories connected with him and no matter what happens you should stay beside him. Here you cannot just ignore him or hate him for what he said to me.....we are adults and we will sort it out in our ways......you shouldnt spoil your relations with him for me. Remember i came just a few days back into your life but he was there from the start. It wouldn't be justified to just ignore him like that. So go sort it out with your bhai Abhir.....there is no point in giving him a cold shoulder when he is someone so special to you." I finished as i felt a huge weight off my shoulders instantly.

When i didnt get a response, i found him shedding tears as fresh tears rolled down his cheeks and it pricked my hear.....ofcourse it was true that i met him just a few days back....but he made a huge place in my heart and i had already started considered him as my younger brother.....a brother whom i always wished i had.

I quickly engulfed him a tight hug and tried sushing him by cooing sweet nothings into his now pink ears. Sooner or later he ws calm enough to voice out and when he spoke, this time he held my hnds "You know What
