This short story is set in 1950, India, in a small hill station known as Chail in Himachal Pradesh. A Horror story that also gives a glimpse of the lives of people in the hills. Its my first attempt to write a story. 
      Naresh Sharma, 30 year old advocate, comes all the way from New Delhi to meet his 70 year old bedridden client Ashutosh Mehra. Naresh's father Amit Sharma was a corporate lawyer who worked with Ashutosh Mehra for 20 years until his death due to cancer.  But a small hill station like Chail couldnt support Naresh's sky high ambitions and therefore he decided to move to the capital of the country with his widowed mother.  On the other hand, Ashutosh was disappointed with Naresh's decision which he took some 3 years back .  Ashutosh, has a tea and coffee estate, he is rich and lives in a spacious, luxurious bungalow. But he has no family except an old, obedient servant who has witnessed every aspect of Ashutosh's life.  Ashutosh knows that he will not survive, all his organs are failing one after another and he doesn't have any heir too and so one morning he calls Naresh and asks him to come to Chail to his bungalow regarding it but the bungalow is hiding many secrets under its expensive carpets, behind its costly, silky curtains  which when disclosed will turn Naresh's life upside down. 
      What is the house hiding from Naresh ?

Getting dressed I grabbed the hodni (scarf) as a mere source to cover my shame, he pulled me out of the room. With the pain all over my body especially the lower body, I wasn't able to walk; matching his speed was out of the question. I pleaded with him to stop, to have mercy on me but just like last night, my words were sent to deaf ears. Not able to match his pace, my steps were misplaced making me fall but it didn't stop him. He dragged me down the stairs in the same state injuring my entire body. I cried helplessly but none of his family members had even a hint of guilt. Everyone's eyes hold only one emotion for me which is disgust. Sitting on a knee he grabbed my hair in a painful grip and the words that came out of his mouth were something which I never expected. "The biggest mistake I've made in my life is, loving you." He said while tears flowed from his eyes. ••• Malika Adsule, a Clinical Researcher, is a quiet girl but for her close people, she is everything but quiet. She doesn't like to make anyone sad and silently listens to what people say without back answering though she will fight for her self-respect and rights. Nahush Mhatre, an Architect, is a very successful and rich businessman. Well-mannered, well-behaved, respective man. But no one can stop his wrath once a person gets on his bad list. What will happen when Malika has to leave her boyfriend and get married to Nahash only for her parents' happiness? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Namaskar guys! It's my first story. I never tried writing a story before. Hope you like it. Cover credit goes to Azura_Zephyr❤

As I took a seat beside her, I realised that she was awfully quiet. "Is everything fine", I asked her. Naina licked her lips and looked at me. For a few seconds none of us said anything and then finally she said- "Aakash, my family has a second-hand car. I have been earning for quite sometime now but my savings aren't enough for even a bike. We live in a small apartment, which you have seen already, throughout my life I have shared everything...my books, clothes, shoes, cosmetics, even my laptop with my elder sister." I did not understand why Naina was saying all this with a sad expression. To me, everything that concerns her always feels happy and worth being proud of. She continued- "What I am saying Aakash, is that I am nowhere worthy, capable, or even habituated of a life where my husband owns a house with an elevator or where he wishes to buy me a helicopter. We are so different, Aakash. This scares me a lot". Not even for a moment have I ever felt that Naina would be insecure of my living standards. But, I understood where she was coming from. "Naina", I replied, "All this extravagant decorations, this lavish home, my expensive lifestyle,none of this means anything to me. It is a facade I have to maintain for the world. YOU ARE MY HOME". *** Here's the story of Naina Khanna and Aakash Arora. Two people who are from completely different backgrounds, however destiny brings them together and their souls connect. But, when dreams come true unexpectedly, can you keep them safe?

Plagued with the worries of the future and yet healing from the scars of her past, she was yet to pay any heed to the present. She was the queen of the world of What-ifs What if I never get a job?

She proved true to her description when, one night, she cuts off the wire of his music system in the middle of a raging party. That was his first impression of hers. He also never expected her unrelenting efforts to befriend him. When he finally gives in, the possibility of tomorrow increases with every shared laughter and stolen glance. Will their love survive self-imposed obstacles, helicopter parents, and the two-foot gap between their balconies? Or, will it remain a fond memory to smile upon when a day gets a bit more difficult than the rest? TRIGGER WARNING: Though this story is mostly a feel-good rom-com, it does address certain heavy topics like illness, suicide attempts, and domestic violence.
