❝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."

"I will accept your resignation but under one condition," said Vikram Singhal, playing with the paperweight akin to the manner he was playing with the woman trembling in fury. "And why are you under the impression that I will respect that condition, SIR?" Shikha feigned determination, knowing that if Vikram Singhal wanted something, he would get it by hook or by crook. She knew that her words would merely count as feeble and futile efforts of a fawn to fight off the mighty lion and nothing more. Her shivering form and quivering lips had given away her fears to her predator. His pupils dilated with desire and a lethally addicting ecstasy as he inched closer every moment in fulfilling them. "You cannot leave the company without serving your notice period, until and unless, you pay me a compensation of ₹3,00,000, and as far as I know it is not possible in your case to bring that amount. That leaves you with no choice, but to comply with my wishes," said Vikram. He smirked victoriously at her rattled form. She inhaled sharply, gathering every bit of strength remaining in her and hoped against the hope that he would not demand what she had imagined. "What do you want, Sir?" "You. I want you." __________ Vikram Singhal, a ruthless and shrewd gangster, ruled the business world under the guise of a business owner and ruled the whole of Uttar Pradesh as a dictator, till he fell for the impressionable Shikha Agarwal after a chance encounter. Shikha Agarwal, an orphan raised by her elder sister, believed the world was full of beautiful roses like herself, till the thorns of those roses surface in the form of a certain Vikram Singhal. They were two different worlds which had clashed because of his obsession, but will they ever merge to create one beautiful world for themselves? *Slow burn. Not a submissive heroine.

Just leave me the fuck alone" Aanya said or more like screamed those words on his face. " Oh, so my Baby does know how to curse. Amusing." He said, with a pained smile plastered on his face. " You..." Her words were sealed between her lips when she found he was standing right infront of him. Their forehead touching each other while their lips just an inch apart. She raised her hands to hit his chest. " I fucking hate you " She whispered the words against his lips while hitting him. Her eyes held unshedded tears and anger flashing through them. He held her hands and put a halt on her actions. His voice turning darker and lethal. " You don't hate me Aanya and you know it and this will be the first and last fucking time these words will slip through your pretty lips. Am I clear?" He warned her while caressing her face while his thumb wiping the tears sliding through her eyes. " Kyu kr rhe hain aap yeh sab ?, Kya hazil kr lenge aap aise? " Her lips were trembling as she muffled a pained sob before her lips. It's been a year since he lost her. Now, he is back to make her his and this time, separation is not a choice he will give her. ************ _______________ #1 india on 11/11/2023 #1 childhoodsweethearts on 11/11/2023 #1 desi on 14/11/2023 ________________

You have something of mine in your possession -My heart _________________________________________ She was his childhood enemy, His most cherished memory. You say beautiful and it's her smile he sees, You say nuisance and he'd tease her it's was she. She was the laughter to his tight-lipped smile, The glaring eye to his teasing smirk, The noise to his silence, The chaos to his quiet, The question to his answers, The chai to his espresso, She was the fairytale to his tragedy __________________________________________
