Chapter 24

"Sahiba Angad Singh Brar outshined the first day of the Amritsar Art Festival with her exceptional talent and she was supported by her whole family."

"Sahiba Kaur Monga now Sahiba Brar has become one of the most instantly followed artist on Instagram in India with almost 100M followers. She has become the youth icon along with her husband Mr. Angad Singh Brar."

"Sahiba Angad Singh Brar has excelled the Amritsar Art festival held Martyrs Gallery, Jallan Walah Bagh, Amritsar. She has become a sensation with her extremely humble attitude and exceptional craft."

"Sahiba Kaur Monga, the wife of one of the most prestigious Industrialist and philanthropist Mr. Angad Singh Brar has achieved a great positive attention from the society towards her artwork. She is one of the most requested artists of the week in the state of Punjab."

Seerat was scrolling channels and the news channels were discussing the success of her sister who is now a billionaire's wife, a famous artist, youth icon, a powerful personality.

Seerat who craved for fame and money was jealous of the success and attention Sahiba got but she wasn't sore about it. She has Garry who will give her enough money so that she could live her life with comfort and luxury.

No matter how much lucky Sahiba is now, but once Garry gets his share of inheritance, her life will be settled. Seerat was dwelling on the fact that she left Angad for Garry who gave her huge promises of love and affection.

He was the most eligible bachelor, charming, handsome and filthy rich!

"Swag hai Jatt da" as he says.

"Garry will never let me down, no he wouldn't, he couldn't." She assured her wavering mind and calmed her nerves.

She knew that now she needs to speak with Garry, they have been undergrounded enough. Now was the time that he would take her home as his wife.

On the other hand a couple was having dinner with the wife making sounds of satisfaction. She was so happy to have the dinner in the place of her choice.

Sahiba was sitting on the traditional cot with her legs folded in Indian style in the open air and the ambience was so homely that for the first time Angad didn't feel awkward at this sort of place because he had his friend who was making sure that he feels the best.

Angad saw her devouring her lachha paratha along with her chicken curry and she looked like a little hungry lion ready to pounce on her food.

He then saw her picking up a huge glass of lassi and she drank it in one go which made his eyes go wife because he didn't think she could do that.

After satisfying her appetite, Sahiba burped and then released a sigh of relief that she got her favourite food when she was extremely hungry.

She wiped the sides of her mouth with the back of her hand and looked upwards to her husband who was staring with an open mouth, she put her finger beneath his chin and closed his mouth saying, "Angad, the flies will come" which made him jerk back to reality.

Both of them were laughing and enjoying themselves and then decided to take a walk in the pleasant breeze.

They weren't far enough from their car and the bodyguards were following them discreetly ensuring their safety. The environment was getting comfortable but the weather was getting colder.

Angad saw Sahiba shivering so he removed his coat but then he saw that she was wrapping up her dupatta like a shawl but still he made her wear his jacket because he knew that she will be cold anyway.

Sahiba was overwhelmed by this gesture and a drop of tear escaped from her right eye which was wiped by Angad.

Before even he could question the reason she said, "I have always been self-sufficient, thought that I don't need anyone but whenever mummy forgot my special moments I felt so bad even considered that she doesn't need me."

"Why does your mother ignore you?" He asked desperately because he wanted her to have her share of happiness.

"For Seerat di. She is her beauty queen, the one who could fulfil her dream by securing her future with a rich husband. Papa and I have always been side-lined by both of them, they never listen to us." She said and the pain was clearly visible in her voice.

"I tried my best to make myself understand that Keerat and papa are enough for me but that little child inside me who wants her mother doesn't stay quiet for long. She aches for her love but then I remember how she forced her decision on me without even caring about my opinion and all the love and longingness washes away." Sahiba said looking at the sky.

"Can you forgive her for what she did?" He asked.

"Maybe but I think now is the time for me to heal and she will highlight my wounds again unknowingly or maybe knowingly who knows." She said.

"I also had this misconception about you but when I saw you looking at your career with such a passion that you wouldn't give a damn to anyone, I was sure that you are a misunderstood identity who was trapped with threats." He said.

"Thank you for supporting me Angad. I really appreciate that." She smiled at him and his heart skipped a beat.

He calmed himself and smiled back, "No problem, you also supported me. This is a way to give you a thanks."

"Angad I want to tell you something. I wanted to tell you and your family about this matter from a long time but couldn't because you all are sore about this matter and wouldn't listen." She said.

Angad was now curious, "What is it?"

"It's about Seerat di." She sighed with closed eyes.

"Sahiba please don't ruin my day. I am really happy today with everything good happening with us fortunately, I beg you please don't say a word about her." He said closing his eyes.

"I know that you love her and you are bitter about her but Angad you need to know who was the man she ran away with." She said holding her hand.

"Who was he?" He asked her.

"It was Garry." She said.
