Tumhare Liye (For You) CHAPTER TWO

CHAPTER TWO

—NEXT MORNING—

—BEDROOM—

—I woke up in a known silence. My head was pounding, and my mind was hazy—

—I tried to recall the events of the previous night, and everything went like a bullet train—

—I remembered his threatening voice, his words ripping my soul apart... and the conversation—

—As I slowly sat up, my gaze fell on the luxurious room. The opulent decor was now mocking me, feeling like a gilded cage—

—I felt trapped, suffocating under the weight of my circumstances—

MAHIMA ARYA MAHESHWARI (FL)

*Look other side*

ARYA VARDAN MAHESHWARI (ML)

MAHIMA ARYA MAHESHWARI (FL)

*Diverted my face and get down*

—As I stood under the hot water, the water falling on my face, my thoughts began to jumble—

MAHIMA ARYA MAHESHWARI (FL)

(I have to survive, so that I can see their downfall. I have to become a force that can be respected, to get back what is rightfully mine)

—But then, my mind went to him– Arya. I hadn't included him in my plans—

MAHIMA ARYA MAHESHWARI (FL)

(Tsk, when the time comes, he will discard me like trash. Besides, he already has someone in his life. I won’t waste my energy trying to make him mine)

MAHIMA ARYA MAHESHWARI (FL)

—The warmth of the water couldn’t overcome the coldness of my own resolve—

—I was ready to play the game, to outwit them all—

—His presence might complicate things, but I wouldn’t let him distract me from my ultimate goal:

—Power—

MAHIMA ARYA MAHESHWARI (FL)

*Came out of the shower and head towards the closet room*

—I opened the door without hesitation, thanks to Maria's description of the room's layout—

—The room was luxurious, with a huge walk-in closet that seemed to stretch on forever—

—From the plush carpets to the crystal chandeliers, every detail screamed luxury... even the air smells expensive—

MAHIMA ARYA MAHESHWARI (FL)

(This man is filthy rich, but what's he doing married to someone like me?)

MAHIMA ARYA MAHESHWARI (FL)

(He's got everything: wealth, good looks, a powerful family, and a life of luxury. Yet, he's locked down with a nobody like me!)

MAHIMA ARYA MAHESHWARI (FL)

(This isn't fair. He's got a reputation for being tight-lipped, Alas)

MAHIMA ARYA MAHESHWARI (FL)

It's fucked up. *Pinned the pallu of her saree, staring at her reflection*

MAHIMA ARYA MAHESHWARI (FL)

Looking good Ms... Mrs Mahima Arya Vardan Maheshwari. It's time for the show. *Smirked*

MAHIMA ARYA MAHESHWARI (FL)

*Walked out of the room, my heels clicking on the floor*

MAHIMA ARYA MAHESHWARI (FL)

*Come out of the room, saw no-one but heard water noise* *Get out of the room and started going downstairs*

MAHIMA ARYA MAHESHWARI (FL)

(The place is same as ever nothing changed, even now, the only family photos on the wall are mostly of the younger son and daughter. But there is no photo of him.)
