Our Shallow Past

Anonymous Heir

Arjun’s POV~

Last night...

Haa... I can’t sleep. Because whenever I close my eyes. *closes his eyes* I can see her, gently pinching my ears, and saying "its cute" and suddenly my stomach starts to behave weirdly. It tickels. It weirdly tickles. Ahh.. I can’t sleep. I guess even she is not sleeping 

Next morning 

My head is aching. I had got dark circles under my eyes. I went out from my room to see Maya eating the breakfast.

Wow she is eating her breakfast like nothing happened last night.

"Even I didn’t slept last night. But I have a habit of it because of you." She said. How did she knew what I was thinking?  She is something else. But I should control my feelings towards her. I am not capable of keeping her happy.  I will tell her about me and what work I do. Ahh it aches but , she will remain happy. 

Continuation...

 Maya widened her eyes. Her beat stopped.  She looked at Arjun . His eyes clearly showed sorrow. 

His heart was shattered. He slowly left her hand and went in. Maya tried to stop him but he didn't. 

She looked at Vikram with ragging glare. But she calmed her self down and said." We will talk about this tomorrow." She said. " But Maya...." he was going to say something but, she stopped him and went running inside.

Arjun was sitting in his room all alone. Maya saw him and went in and sat beside him. She held his hand gently and rested her head on his shoulders. "So.. when are you planning to go with him." He said.

She looked at him in shock.  She got up and ragged out from the room. After some time he realized his mistake. He went out looking for her. She was not there at home.

He started to worry. He went out running, looking for her. He didn't know what to do and suddenly he stopped in his path and felt on his knees. Tears started to come from his eyes. Just then he felt someones presence in front of him. He looked above to see Maya in front of him. She forwarded her hand. He took her hand and pulled her in for a tight hug. "I am sorry." He said and started to cry. And suddenly her eyes filled with tears and hugged him back. 

Next morning 

Maya opened her eyes. She saw Arjun beside her sleeping soundly on the bed. She blushed, making her face red. He looked really cute. Without trying to wake him up from his beauty sleep, she slowly tried to get up, when suddenly he grabbed her waist with his strong big hands and pulled her towards him. She fell on him gently he then wrapped his slight muscular arms around her.

"Where are you going? " he said with a flirty tone and gently kissing her neck.

She turned towards him and wrapped her hands around his neck. She looked at him and smiled brightly. He gave her quick kiss on her lips. She blushed and kept her head on his chest.

They both came out to have their breakfast when suddenly they saw Vikram and an Old lady in front. They both stood up. The old lady teared up and ran towards her to hug her." Oh my daughter.  We all missed you so much." She said. Maya widened her eyes.  "You are my mother?" She asked in disbelief.

The mother cuped her face with her hands and nodded. Maya hugged her tight, and from the corner of her shoulders she got a glance of Vikram. "So he is my husband." She thought. 

They all sat on the sofa with serious environment around. "Why did I tried to end my life?" She asked. 

They both looked at each other. "You were a drug addict." Vikram said . Maya  widened her eyes.

"You used to take drugs so much that once you even tried to kill me for the money. And then we sent you to a rehab. But you ran from there and you went missing since then."  The mother explained. Maya froze. Suddenly she stood up and went inside. Her mother tried to stop her but, she started to burst in tears. 

"We will go for now, when she is  comfortable tell her to call us so that we can  come and take her." Vikram said as they both were standing out ready to go. Mother cupped her hands around Maya's face and kissed her fore head.

She smiled and went away. Arjun went in with a cold face. But Maya could see the sadness in his eyes. Suddenly she saw that Vikram's car keys were left on the table . She took the keys and went to give them 

At night..

Arjun was out in the balcony, smoking his cigarette. Suddenly he threw the cigarette out in anger...."It's good to see that you are now controlling your habits." Someone said from behind. He turned to look it was Maya.

She smiled and came toward him. He turned away in anger. She sat beside him and said. "I am calling them tommorow." She said. He looked at her in disbelief.  She smiled and gently held his hand. "Trust me." She said looking deep into his eyes. Arjun smiled and nodded.

Next day

Maya's mother and Vikram had came, they were really happy.  "Where are you suit case, Maya?" Vikram asked. She smiled and said " Ya but first listen to this.." she took out her phone and played the recording.

~"You did a great job."

"Ya, it was so cringy. But we did it. Now when I will get my payment." 

" You will get it soon, but first let her come home." 

This was Vikram and her so called mothers voice. They both looked shock. "How did you came to know?" Vikram asked. 

"Last night.....

When I went in, I was a little doubt full about you both and also about me taking drugs, So I called the doctor who treated me in the hospital. Thank god I had took his phone number. I asked about it to the doctor, but he had to check my reports so he said it will take time. But when I went out to give your car keys I saw you both talking, and for evidence I recorded everything thing."  She explained. 

They both were shocked to hear this. "Oh.. thats why she said to call them here." Arjun thought.

" But you can't leave me like this I'm still your husband." Vikram said with the devilish smile on his face. But instead of a worried face she smirked and said. "You were my husband. I gave you divorce 3 months ago." Everyone in there gasped.  "H...how did you came to know about it?" He asked. 

She smiled and tapped her index finger on her head. She had regained her memory. "But if you don’t remember, I will remind you don’t worry dear." 

"My Parents died when I was 18. But they made a will for me. Until I am 23, all the money will be kept safe in a bank and only some money will be given to me for my expenses. He knew everything thing, that's why he made me fall in love with him and when we got married he treated me like shit." She explained.

Vikram's expression changed into a devilish smirk.

"Who will not fall for it. The money, the fame and a beauty like you.." he said while gently running his fingers on her face. She jerked his hand off in anger. 

Arjun and Jai looked confused. "What is he talking about Maya?" Jai asked. Vikram started laughing "Aren't you both taking care her because of her money? She is Maya Malotra. Heir of Malotra Pharmaceuticals. The famous and anonymous heir!!!"
