❝She loved poetry, he was a poem. A poem Hiding Behind Smiles.❞


~•~•~


Ridhhant Gupta is known to be the best friend of one of those rude CEOs, with his jovial jokes and smiles he hides something, or someone, so much of a void and pain inside him.

Until his Mom sets up a personal assistant aka 'YouthSitter' that's what she calls it, for Ridhhant.

How far will the two souls here go on the journey of smiles and sorrows?

~•~•~•~

"These scars and bruises are very
different, because they are so
Close to who I am." I murmured caressing his skin.

"They are a part of me
and everytime I love too deeply
or care too much, they
re-bruise and reopen." I finished and gave a gentle kiss on his forehead.

"They wouldn't re-bruise." I said into his ears.

"I..I don't know..what to say," his low whisper echoed  in the silent room and I smiled. "Then don't. Just stay here in my arms."

"Say it, just once, that you love me, my Sweetheart. Just once, please," he pleaded. I finally surrendered, tears misting my own eyes as all rational thoughts scattered, "I love you. I never stopped loving you." "And I love you infinitely more," he declared, leaning closer towards my lips. I placed a trembling hand over his mouth, halting him in his tracks, and shook my head slowly. "We can't. It's wrong. We can't betray our partners." *** Two hearts, torn apart by the cruel hand of fate, find themselves face to face after 4 long years.

Book 1 of "𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐐 𝐀𝐔𝐑 𝐑𝐀𝐀𝐇" series INAYA'S POV Before me, he sits. After 7 long years-7 years of absence, he shows up. Yet, when I study his eyes, I find nothing but unfamiliarity. His once warm, brown orbs are now veiled with darkness, devoid of any emotions, with a coldness that chills the air. His rosy pink pigmented lips, which once used to mold in a tender curve in my presence, now refuse to smile. Am I looking at the same person? How can his face be so familiar, yet his essence a mystery? Is he the same person-the Ishaan I once loved? The love that remained unspoken seven years ago, the love that refuses to fade? Is he truly the Ishaan Shekhawat that resides in my memories, or a specter of the past, wearing a guise of indifference over the soul I once knew?

As he approached, he cast a lingering gaze over me, a captivating look. Meanwhile, I found myself fawning over him, struggling to find the right words. Rudra's intense gaze softened into a warm smile as he approached. "You look absolutely.. heart-stopping, Bhigi Billi," he complimented, his voice a low, intimate whisper that made butterflies dance in my tummy. I'll ignore the fact that he called me bhigi billi. Baad mein inka sar phoodungi. (I'll bash his head later.) My cheeks flushed, and I managed a shy smile in response. I stammered a heartfelt "Thank you, Patidev," feeling a bit self-conscious under the weight of his gaze. His expressions, though intense, held a certain intimacy that made the room feel smaller, like it was just the two of us in that moment. As he stepped closer, he gently whispered, "You've taken my breath away." The sincerity in his voice stirred something within me, making my heart race. "I should be the one saying that," I replied, trying to keep my composure, but my voice carried a hint of vulnerability. Rudra's hand reached up to tenderly brush a loose strand of hair from my face, and his thumb traced a gentle line along my cheek. The room seemed to fade away as he leaned in, his lips near my ear, and whispered, "Rab ne bana di jodi?" His eyes fixed on the vanity mirror. Looking at us. I looked at the mirror in front of me. We both together looked perfect indeed. Sach mein rab ne bana di jodi. .・。.・゜✭・. Meet Rudra Pratap Rajvansh, the dashing and responsible CFO of Rajvansh Co., and also the handsome Prince of Udaipur.

"You keep your feet out of that door, don't blame me for the bloodbath it starts," He said through his clenched teeth. "So be the good girl that you are, go back to our room and wait for me like a good girl," he said softly, caressing her cheek with the back of his hand. "I hate you," Ridhima gritted angrily as her tears clung to her lashes. "Even in your hatred I see love for me," he said and pecked her lip softly. "If you lock me here I will... I will... I will cut my wrist," Ridhima stuttered, looking at his eyes firmly. His eyes flared in anger. He grabbed the back of her head and jerked her head up, her lip just an inch away from his as he trembled with anger. "Go ahead," he gritted. ______________________ Start :- 31 Jan 2024 Ends :-
