Siddharth's POV

Nishika is sleeping in her room with a smile on her face. Suddenly she felt a slightpain in her abdomen and she woke up to look near her finding the bedside of Sid empty.

"Ooh yes tonight is his meeting with Italian client Mr Nicholas Brown and he told me that he would be busy so not to disturb if unless its necessary" she murmured to herself.

Yet she dialled his number because there is nobody in the home and her pain is growing bit by bit. She dialled his number but none is answering and otherside its shown that his phone is in silent mode and ringing again and again and he is busy discussing his deal with Mr Brown, his dream project of opening his branch of garments in Italy. He forgot the time that his wife may need him in this condition.

Nishika felt thirsty and found the jar near her bed empty and so with much difficulty she stepped out of the bed lightning the lamp nearby. She went to the kitchen and filled a glass of water with much difficulty while some water fell off from the glass. She drank the water and started to watch towards her room forgetting about the water on the floor and thus slipping on the water falling on the ground facing her front side towards the floor and a sharp pain rushed through her stomach and she shouted "Siddharth" loudly withering in pain.

I woke up from my dream or rather flashes of my past with Nishika. I looked around and found myself sleeping on the bed which I once shared with Nishika. I looked at the divorce papers on my hand and threw it on the ground. My eyes fell on the watch hanging on the wall and it shows 11 am.

"Shit in half and hour i should be in my office signing the final contract with Mr Ian Cullen"

I rushed towards washroom freshen up and found a new pair of my clothes in the wardrobe which was once gifted by Nishika but I never got the chance to wear it and today finally my dream is going to fulfill and its the best occassion to feel her near me. Finally its a NEW DAY in my life, after the deal i have to complete some work then my engagement, thinking of which my mouth turned sour.

Shaking the thoughts I rushed towards my office and thank God I reached on time. After an hour my meeting was over and now am into files to complete my pending works because again tonight I have to attend my engagement but my heart and mind both are not ready.

Suddenly I heard a knock on the door and there enters my younger brother Mr Virat Singh

Seeing him a smile crept on my lips "Oh my goodness, finally you're here after a long time, so you got time to meet your brother"

Saying so I stood up and we hugged each other but something is missing yeah his smile, "after a gap of six months you're meeting your brother and still no smile on your face? Does something happened? Are you not happy meeting me?"

At which he frowned and replied "I should ask the same question, why it seems that your smile is not genuine and your eyes why are they red?"

I looked away at his questions because he can read me easily like a open book "you're doing wrong bhai, Xara is not for you, she is not perfect for you, Nish Bhabhi was, is and always more than perfect for you... You both were made for eachother. Why are you not accepting that after getting your biggest dream and your heart's desire yet you're not happy, please understand you still has time don't destroy so many lives"

I looked at him with pain and confusion what actually is he speaking, "Chhote you're overthinking.... " He cut me off saying "the thing I have to say I already said to you, now its time for me to go to prepare for your engagement... Let's meet at home" saying so hugging me once again he left the room.

I sat back again to complete my rest of work but Virat's words are running through my mind, and then Nishika I donno where she is and how she is? Did she forget me so easily, no calls no messages nothing at all as if I never existed in her life.

________

After completing my rest of the work I am getting ready for my so called engagement but am not feeling the peace and happiness in my heart which I was thinking that I should feel.

Looking at myself in the mirror and trying to bring smile on it, I completely look like a clown but who cares when my mind is not at peace. I remembered the time when I first met Nish at our engagement, she was looking breathtaking beautiful that seriously I forgot to breathe that day

I

with Virat

and my mom Mrs Gayatri Narendra Singh

And my father Mr Narendra Singh

Reached the venue beforehand. I was waiting for this function to get over because there were so much pending works left in the office but my mind and heart both stopped working looking at the beauty infront of me and I can't believe that today she will be officially my fiancee Miss Nishika Gupta or soon to be Mrs Nishika Siddharth Singh

She is looking simple yet beautiful different from all the girls I ever looked at. I am looking at her like a fool and she is continuously looking down hiding her face from me while coming towards me.

I came to senses when Virat spoke in my ear "Bhai close your mouth and stop staring, bhabhi will run before the engagement you're making her feel uncomfortable" teasing yet putting senses in me. I very hardly took my eyes off her and started looking here and there and saw her breathing a sigh of relief still looking at the damn ground donno what's interesting in there.

Its time for ring exchange.

At first I extended my hand and she put the ring without actually touching my hand which disappointed me.

But the ring is beautiful and I am impressed by her choice.

Now she extended her hand and its my turn to put ring on her hand.

I took her soft hand in my and a electricity passed through my hand, her sharp intake of breath make me satisfy that she too is not immune to my touch.

I don't want to actually leave her hand but as the ceremony ends I have to let go of her hand but I promise to myself to held her hand in my hand FOREVER which I eventually broke.

The knock on the door bought me to present and I left the room for my engagement downstairs.

Xara is already present with her family

She is looking pretty but the feeling which I felt for Nish goes missing while I am looking at her.

The ceremony started and its time for the ring exchange.

Hum the jinke sahare
(The one who was supporting me)
Woh huye na humare
(She never became mine)
Doobi jab dil ki naiya
(When the boat of my heart sank)
Saamne the kinare
(The shore was right in front of me)

I looked at the ring on the hand of Xara and is about to put my hand infront of her I realised that I forget to take off the ring which once put on by Nish in my ring finger.

Hum the jinke sahare
(The one who was supporting me)
Woh huye na humare
(She never became mine)
Doobi jab dil ki naiya
(When the boat of my heart sank)
Saamne the kinare
(The shore was right in front of me)
Hum the jinke sahare
(The one who was supporting me)

All the flashes of our engagement, wedding night, gifts, her pain, her smiling face, me leaving her forever everything came infront of my eyes making me feel worst.

K

ya mohabbat ke vaade
(The promises of love)
Kya wafaa ke iraade
(The intentions of loyalty)
Ret ki hai deewarein
(Are just walls of sand)
Joh bhi chahe gira de
(Which anyone can break)
Joh bhi chahe gira de
(Which anyone can break)
Hum the jinke sahare
(The one who was supporting me)
Woh huye na humare
(SHe never became mine)

The nudge on my shoulder by my mom bought me back in present, I touched the ring and tried to remove it but my mind is against it and my heart is not willing to do so.

Hai sabhi kuch jahaan mein
(There is everything in the world)
Dosti hai, wafaa hai
(Including friendship and faithfulness)
Apni yeh kamnaseebi
(But it's my misfortune)
Humko na kuch bhi mila hai
(That I never got anything)
Humko na kuch bhi mila hai
(That I never got anything)
Hum the jinke sahare
(The one who was supporting me)
Woh huye na humare
(She never became mine)

A tear fell from my left eye and finally I made my decision to not to go on with the engagement because am not ready. And so I put my hands down and look towards Xara to apologise but a smile lingers on her lips confused me.

Yun toh duniya basegi
(Although my world will settle down)
Tanhai phir bhi dasegi
(But still loneliness will sting me)
Joh zindagi mein kami thi
(What is missing in my life)
Woh kami toh rahegi
(That void will always be there)
Woh kami toh rahegi
(That void will always be there)

Reading the confusion my eyes she started speaking " I knew it that you can never marry me because your heart belongs to Nishika only, you were always in love with her and now also you are deeply in love with her. We were never made for eachother, the thing which you are thinking as love is mere infatuation. That day at mall I kissed you for the first time to see if there is any spark between us but I found none like I felt with Zayed"

Cutting her off I questioned narrowing my eyes "Zayed?"

"Yes, Mr Zayed Bahri, my soon to be fiancee, the guy with whom am in love with" she replied and unknowingly I took a sigh in relief.

She continued " I realised it that day that we were not in love with eachother, and I found my life partner in Zayed, after that I tried to make you realise that nothing is between us but you dumbheaded when I provoke to leave Nishika and your house you left her and came with me. I never saw you happy after that. In every topic I used to bring her name so you realise that you are empty without her but yet you as usual like an idiot never understood me, so I have to play my final straw, our engagement and that's why I indirectly hinted you about divorce papers two days ago so you can meet Nishika and clear your mind. I was waiting since two months, may be you are slow but you will understand but am completely wrong, you're as usual late. She left you and still instead of finding her you're here getting engaged with me. Thank God lastly you proved that you aren't total tubelight and decided to cancel the engagement. Otherwise I would have cancelled it. Today isn't our but mine and Zayed's engagement, you mustn't read the invitation card, everyone knew about it except you stupid"

I am looking at her dumbfounded listening to her long speech, am not hurting another person, great superb its amazing, donno what actually am feeling. Finally a heavy weight lifted off of my heart.

"What? Why are you still standing here and looking at? Don't waste your time it's very precious ( there crept a smile in everyone's face including mine) go get your girl, go find the way to bring her back don't lose this chance... Beg her plead her do anything but don't lose her ever she is one of a kind, she is gem of a person"

Hum the jinke sahare
(The one who was supporting me)
Woh huye na humare
(She never became mine)
Doobi jab dil ki naiya
(When the boat of my heart sank)
Saamne the kinare
(The shore was right in front of me)

Nodding my head thus closing one more chapter of my life and wishing Zayed and Xara happy engagement ahead I left the venue running to my room wishing to spend the rest of my time of this NEW DAY alone with my memories and these new found feelings for my Nish.

"Am coming soon to get you back by hook or crook, I love you Nish"

Saying so smilingly after changing my clothes and thinking about her I drifted off to sleep.
