Her Mysterious Lover

Falak’s POV

.

The door of the elevator was about to close when a black shoe came in between the closing doors, and they retreated back. Looking up from the shoe, my eyes went to its owner’s face.

“I’m sorry to interrupt you, Sir.”, Albert apologized. “But Ma’am didn’t have her breakfast and medicines. If you don’t mind, then can you please stay for a while.”, He requested dad.

Dad looked at me and then at the wrist in his hand. “You didn’t have your breakfast until now?”

“I…I..”

“I’m sorry, Beta. I should have asked that question before. This gentleman is right. You should have your breakfast and medicine before leaving.”

I couldn’t say anything and just nodded my head. We stepped out of the elevator, and the first thing was I saw the broken vase on the ground and an angry man near it. I avoided looking into his eyes, knowing that he was already staring at me.

Dad let go of my hand, and I walked slowly toward my room, or say my ex-room. I just prayed in my mind that he wouldn’t create a scene in front of my dad.

Aarvik’s POV

.

I couldn’t believe that I had finally found my little princess!

Who wasn’t so little anymore.

But I was least expecting that she would be staying with a man who claimed to be her boyfriend, but she denied it! But then, I was not a fool to do not to believe in the things which I was observing. I would have kicked anyone’s butt if anyone would have kept staring at my daughter for this long. That, too, was in front of me. But in this situation, I doubt that I could do that.

Klaus, if not this was the name of the gentleman, was the reason because of which I finally found my Falak. And I was grateful to him, but his action clearly showed that he would take my daughter away from me again.

He finally turned his gaze toward me when Falak disappeared into the room. We both stayed for staring at each other. This was the first time I was meeting anyone who was interested in my daughter, and he was definitely not hiding in his intention.

“Please grab a seat, Sir.”, He said, offering me to sit on the couch. I nodded, and we both again sat on the couch, and I was sure that he was also feeling awkward, just like me!

The person who had stopped the elevator cleaned the vase which he had broke. I wanted to know more about Falak, but asking this question from her would look a bit weird, so I finally opened my mouth to break the silence.

“For how long have you known Falak?”

“All my life.”, He responded. “We’re in the same school.”, He added to explain his point.

“Something is troubling you. Is it related to Falak?” I asked.

He nodded his head and finally gave all his attention to me as if something had just come to his mind. “Sir, you said before that you will return my favor someday. So, can you do something for me?”

“Wow! I didn’t expect that you ask for my favor. That too, this soon. Anyway, go ahead.”

“I don’t want you to take Falak this soon. I mean, can you please postpone your plan for a while?”

“And why is so?” I asked, raising my brow.

“I don’t want to hide anything from you, Sir. Just before you arrived here, we disagreed over a fact, and now she wants to leave me because of that. If you will take her from here, then I doubt that I can get any chance with her.”

“An argument or disagreement over something can never end anything.”, I said, making him realize that he was worrying for nothing. “It’s a mind that decides something quickly, not a heart. If she wants to leave, then let her go because sometimes distance is really important to understand the depth of the relationship. If two hearts are meant to be together, no matter how long it takes, how far they go, how tough it seems, fate will bring them together to share their love forever.”

“So by giving me all this lecture, you want to tell me that you’re taking her away from me?”, He asked, ignoring everything that I just said.

Kids these days!

“I’m ready, Dad.” I heard Falak’s voice, who was finally ready and had carried a small bag in her hand. Was I doing this right?

Obviously, I was. After all, I was finally taking her to the place where she belonged.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

I turned my gaze toward Klaus before speaking. “Thank you again, young man! I don’t know whether you would like to come or not, but if possible, please try to come to our place. One of Falak’s cousins is getting married on 20th April, and my whole family will be delighted to meet you and express then gratitude toward the person who finally helped me in finding our missing princess.”

“20th April? I mean, after 11 days?” he asked to reconfirm.

“Yes! But since this Indian wedding functions will start a week ahead of the wedding.”

“Oh! Does that mean I can come to your house by the 13th or 14th of April?”, He asked, getting my point.

I couldn’t believe that I was helping this young man!

“Sure! You are more than welcome.” I smiled at him and then looked at Falak. She had mixed emotions on her face. “Come, princess! Give this bag to me.”, I said, trying to take her bag, but the same man who stopped the elevator interrupted in the middle.

“Please let me!”, Saying this, he took the bag from Falak’s hand.

***

I wanted to take a cab to my hotel, but Albert insisted on letting him take me wherever I wanted to go. Throughout the ride, Falak had silently kept her head on my shoulder.

Not that I was complaining about that, but she looked extremely sad.

“Do you want to see someone or visit somewhere before leaving?” I asked softly, caressing her hair.

She nodded her head before speaking, “Albert, please take us to the orphanage first.”

“By the way, do you have a passport?”

“I have. But…”, She responded.

“But what?”

“My documented name is Falak Srivastava.”, She whispered in a low tone. I tried not to show any kind of anger though I started boiling in anger hearing that SURNAME.

“It’s okay, Bachha! (Child)!” I replied. “I will need it for applying for an Indian eVisa.”

“Are my other documents required as well?”

“No. I can get all the remaining things done.”, I responded. After that, I spent all my time with my princess, knowing where she spent the last ten years of her life. She didn’t open up about the remaining thirteen years of her life. Nor do I ask anything about that.

I even met her best friend, Ashley.

“I hope you have made all the arrangements because I’m bringing that criminal and my daughter from tomorrow’s flight.”, I asked one of my colleagues.

“Don’t worry about that, Sir. I have managed all the paper documents and took permission from higher authorities as well.”

“Perfect.”

“By the way, is it true that Adhiraj Srivastava is in a coma?”, He asked.

“Yeah! Someone broke his head like a watermelon.” I chuckled, recalling who did that to him.

“Aren’t you unhappy with the thought that someone took that chance from you?”

“I was. But when I came to know that a young man did that to him just because Adhiraj pushed her from the stairs. I can’t hold my happy tears that someone else there too who share the same feeling as mine when it comes to Falak.”

Angela’s POV

.

“Did he say that he’s coming tonight?” I asked again with Dad, my father-in-law.

“Yes!”

‘Not again!’ I thought in my mind. The arrival of Klaus was not good news. Neither of me nor for my baby. He hated me with passion, and I could visibly see anger in his eyes for me. I couldn’t cry on my fate more! My father never loved me and always treated me like shit just because I was a girl. The man who loved me left me alone in this world to deal with my own problems. My father-in-law was just interested in his grandchild, and my husband had nothing to do with me.

Only if I would not have been pregnant then would he have killed me to take out my father’s anger on me.

“Angela,” His voice roared in the whole mansion. And I couldn’t help myself from shivering.

I couldn’t take one more bite, knowing that he was coming toward the dining room.

“Stop eating and come here, NOW,” He said and placed some papers on the edge of the table on another side.

“Klaus, can you please softly with her?” Dada asked, on which Klaus narrowed his eyes.

“You want me to GO soft for that girl who is the reason behind my misery?”, He scoffed and then looked back at me. “Are you coming, or I will have to drag you from your chair?”, He asked me, on which I quickly left my chair because I really didn’t want to deal with his anger.

“Here! Sign on this agreement.”, Saying this; he pushed that paper and a pen toward me.

I read the first page of the paper. It was some kind of contract. I tried to turn the page to read the full contract when he stopped me.

“Sign it.”

“But I want to know what is written in it.”, I said in a low tone, not to increase his temper than he already was.

“This contract states that you will end our marriage after the birth of your baby. And also give the full custody of your child to me.”, He said in a cold tone.

My hand quickly ran to my stomach.

‘I wasn’t not going to give my baby to anyone. And I couldn’t even end this marriage because Dad would kill me along with my baby if I would do something like that.’

“Sign it.”, He said and pushed a pen in my hand.

“I…I can’t..” I said, shaking my head. And the next thing I knew, my head was slammed against the table.

“Klaus” Dad shouted as he saw Klaus choking my neck, pressing my head against the table. He tried to push Klaus away. “I have transferred all my shares and property in your name just like you promised. Now, keep your promise as well; I want this girl alive until my grandson is born.”

Hearing this, Klaus let me go.

“I swear, dad. I will end up killing her if she won’t leave me. Because I’m losing my mind with the thought of Falak leaving me because of HER.”, He said, and his words were laced with venom. “She thinks that my so-called wife should not suffer more than she already, but I’m no saint. I will make her life a living hell.”, He threatened.

I couldn’t help but cry hearing his bitter words.

“I need this paper signed by you by the morning.”, He said, looking at me. “And these crocodile tears won’t affect me. I would not be doing this if he wouldn’t have forced me into this marriage. What did he think that I’m a good boy and will keep you happy, huh?”, He smirked like a devil before walking toward his room.

Dad looked at me for a while and then left from there.

I looked at my plate full of food, but I had lost my appetite.

A part of me lost wanted to curse Klaus, but I knew he was stuck in this situation because of me and my baby.
