Awesome update

Thanks

[heygiwriter]

Amazing writing man!

No matter what happens with the ending, I think you pulled off this story better than the last one which lost meaning with Sneha, here you kept the emotions in check and not get rolled over and over. Keeping all 3 characters true to the point at the end is not an easy task, even though sometimes I criticize for the writing liberty on the characters, the story and writing is top notch. Give us an ending that fits right in your mind and ignore out banter lol

~RCF

Thanks, but the story had just started. :)

[heygiwriter]

What a beautiful narration……awesome and amazing…..

Suspense…will Jay Survive….
More so…will Nikki survive….from the guilt…..

Cult writing…..

Thank you :)

[heygiwriter]

Excellent writing, 40 chapters in 2 days should be record even for your standards.
Especially last 10 chapters were peak thriller with raw sex and emotions. Waiting to see what happens next.

Ha Ha thanks, its just the start lets see. but from here the scenarios should get heated like pace will be moving faster

[heygiwriter]

Tharun is calm and calculative. He clearly saw how nikki reacted, once he gets full backstory he could see all red flags. Nikki may not see it clearly but like sharmi he will know jay isn't letting go of her. Nikki thinks Jay and sharmi are together still loves him, what more Tharun can do to make her forget Jay? Most of her decision revolved around jay. Whether nikki jay gets back together is entirely different matter, will Tharun accept someone who is not committed 100% to relationship.

There is a difference between love, lust, possessive and obsession. 

The Characters will dance in between. 

Jay already predicted what would be happening there, thats the reason he raced ahead and got into accident.
Nikitha now knows Jay had indeed came for her, but she wanted to stick to her decision for the good of everyone. 
Tharun, who got to know truth now may lost his calculative apporach and will take decision rash, that minimize line between love and obsession. He even got a taste of her. His first women who he had have sex. 

Sharmi will act rashly due to the guilt consumed. That will be the plus and minus to entire story. 

Who kept the Letter, is diluted to little before whatever displayed between the adults. 

Will she stay in promise to Tharun?
Will Tharun continue to stay same after knowing all truths?
What will be Jay reaction when he got to know the truth about Tharun and Nikitha consumated sex?
Will Nikitha get to know all misunderstood facts including Sharmi's marital life?

Story had just began

[heygiwriter]

Heygi bro super and congratulation  for roller ghost update .Ur super man bro ...UR updating in midnight & rlying cmts  in early morning .

Nikki , Jay & Tharun ......No one here loser . all are getting benefits. Jay & Nikki realize there love & Affection . Tharun got  nikki's hot body .

Jay truly loves Nikitha - its a known story.
Nikitha loves him but she denies - but when she realize it was late as she herself made things complicated.
Tharun is sincere towards Nikitha, he had just consummated a relationship with her.

[heygiwriter]

Good but do not drag like last one which creates unnecessary complications which becomes a saga....

As for my usual prediction comments...   

Tharun will use his ever green weapon which he has been using all this time - Sex, more and more to show he is the one for her or to show himself that he owns her...sometimes might force her which makes her compare how men behave when they are in jealousy which enlightens her that Jay that day behaved liked that because he loved her.....Dumb Nikita will have moment of truth lol and more and more to come on the other side of Tharun...Author cooking negative shades of Tharun now, all this time he made him hero 

Jay will know about Nikita's commitment and it will break him, he will slowly drift away from Nikita...showing her mirror image of what she has done to him all this time....
Sharmi will be the new Byomkesh Bhakshi hunting the one who wrote the letter 

Give us faster updates, story is fun so far and entertaining.

~RCF

 I know the prediction will come closer to this but thing is 

Tharun indeed been sincere to Nikitha. 

Which will make it complicate, the trio will go through, love, lust, betrayal, obsession, possessive, fear of lose, sacrifice, display act of selfishness / selflessness at time, and ultimately leading to a mess of emotions. My vision is just this. But im planning to make it crisp and avoid long saga tale for sure. Because it consumes too much time.

[heygiwriter]

I see where you’re coming from, and honestly I don’t think Tharun needs to be turned into a villain either. It’s more interesting to explore how good people can still struggle, make mistakes, or react poorly when they’re pushed emotionally. That kind of conflict feels a lot more real than a simple good vs. bad setup.

I also get your point about Jay, he’s been carrying a lot and it’s affected how he comes across, especially in Nikita’s eyes. If Tharun goes through something similar, it could parallel Jay’s journey in a meaningful way rather than just creating a rivalry.

That said, I wouldn’t go as far as saying Nikita doesn’t deserve either of them. I think she’s still figuring things out, and while that confusion can hurt people around her, it also makes her human. Not everyone recognizes what they have right away, especially when emotions are complicated.

At the end of the day, I feel like the story works best if none of them are painted as completely right or wrong, just people trying (and sometimes failing like Sharmi)  to handle difficult feelings.

True

Chapter 102 - The Full Truth


Nikitha and Tharun waited silently in the car outside the hospital until they saw Sharmi’s car pull up. Only after Sharmi hurried inside did Tharun start the engine and drive away into the early morning darkness.

The tension inside the car was suffocating. Tharun’s hands gripped the steering wheel tightly as he finally exploded.

“You said you would accept my love and marry me,” he began, voice shaking with hurt and anger. “But the moment Jay is in trouble, you run behind him. 

You claimed him as your husband in front of everyone! What the hell is happening, Nikitha? Were you two pretending to be strangers all this time?”

He laughed bitterly. “I feel like a child who finally got his favorite toy… held it in his hands for a while, and before the warmth could even settle, someone snatched it away.”

Tharun glanced at her, eyes dark. “Look at your thighs, Nikki. My semen is still there dried. Look at your body — the marks I left on your neck and breasts are still fresh. Even before any of this faded, you dropped a staggering knife into my chest.”

He continued, voice cracking. “You hid such an important truth from me. Your husband was always around you.  After everything… after you chose to marry me? Didn’t I even deserve to know?

I always thought your husband was some guy abroad and you were in a troubled marriage. But Jay? Never in my wildest dreams. Whatever I saw today — the way you ran to him, the fear in your eyes, how you claimed to be his wife — makes me wonder if you’ll ever be able to ignore that love you still have for him.”


Nikitha turned her head toward him, eyes glistening. “Do you think I will choose him now, and leave you for him? after what happend with you? I remember my promise. and i took the decision thinking a lot.  About tonight..  Things escalated tonight in a way I never wanted. 

I already told you once — I was hiding the truth in the beginning when we became friends. 

Now after what you saw.. Did I look like some disgusting creature to you?”

Tharun shook his head. “You’re mistaken, Nikki. The issue is different for me, i see something else. 

I saw how you suffered seeing him injured. Are you sure you want to be in my life? I’m not asking because I doubt you. I’m asking because I don’t want you to get hurt later.”  He pulled the car over near the villa resort and turned to face her fully.


“Like last night you asked me to accept you before you changed your mind… right... 

I’m giving you the same chance now. I can’t ignore the love you displayed for Jay tonight. It alarms me something else. It’s okay — we can consider last night as an oversight, a mistake. I’m ready to let you go. But make a decision wisely. Choose right. Before I change my mind.” This doesnt mean i want to leave you.. i want you badly, want you truly.. but only for myself.. i cant see you loving someone else. So decide.. find where your heart is and make a decision..

Nikitha said not necessary.. Im certain. 




Tharun said no, i dont see a clarity here.. i dont want you to make decision without proper understanding, without asking your heart.. I dont see a valid reason why you should avoid him when you have such a deep love...

after a minute of silence, he turned to her. 

He paused, breathing heavily. “If you cannot make a decision right now, at least tell me your full story. Let me try to understand where it got so complicated… why you both couldn’t proceed with your lives.”


Nikitha looked at him for a long minute. Tharun stepped out of car, walked around, and opened her door. He said before we enter Villa i need to make a solid decision. I need to see where we are, i need full truth. She nodded in acceptance.. He grabbed her hand firmly and led her toward the quiet beach side behind the resort.

They sat on the cool sand, the sound of gentle waves in the background. 

After a long silence. 
Nikitha took a deep breath and began.

“My life has always been troubled because of my stepmother,” she said softly. “She made my life hell after my mother passed away. One day, she tried to force me into marriage with an old man for money. I didn’t want that life. On the day of the wedding, I escaped from the marriage hall and ran to a nearby temple.”

She smiled sadly. “Jay was already there. He had gone to marry his lover, but she didn’t show up. Instead, she married someone her parents chose. In my panic, I falsely claimed Jay was my lover to escape my relatives who were chasing me. In the chaos, we ended up getting married that same day.”

“It was a marriage of convenience for both of us. Jay also wanted to avoid marrying a relative his family had chosen for him. His family got furious and threw him out. My stepmother tricked me into signing papers and stole all the property my mother had left for me.”

“We came to Bangalore with nothing. We started our life together… but mostly as friends. We supported each other. But when we were alone… things escalated. We slipped into a friends-with-benefits zone. That’s when Jay took up a big challenge with his family — to prove his own worth without their help. We both needed to build something for ourselves. I also needed money to fight a legal case against my stepmother.”

“That’s how I joined the company. Jay’s company had a scheme where coders could refer people directly without strict background checks. I learned sincerely, improved myself. But the company has a strict policy — couples cannot work in the same place. So we hid everything. We lived like strangers in public. That’s why we kept lying to everyone.”

Nikitha looked out at the dark sea, her voice growing heavier.

“But this was just the tip of the iceberg. The moment we started protecting that lie… my relationship with Jay began crumbling.”

She fell silent, letting the weight of her words settle between them as the waves continued their steady rhythm on the shore.

[heygiwriter]

I felt the same. Helping and rescuing someone alone isn't love, right?


Jay's mobile phone is actually a strong piece of evidence. When Sharmi searched for photos, the only picture of Jay and Nikitha together was their temple wedding photo. Okay, let's assume they intentionally avoided taking pictures together to safeguard their relationship. Even then, why was the only photo the marriage picture?

That simple scene tells us a lot about the kind of relationship they shared. I genuinely believe both Jay and Nikitha had taken each other for granted all these years. Not even one casual photo together, yet they had a regular physical relationship? That contrast says a lot.

I strongly feel they both became too comfortable and stopped making an effort to cherish their relationship. It was only after Tharun entered their lives—only after Jay felt challenged—that things started changing. Suddenly, he wanted to prove how much he loved her.

Similarly, Nikitha was upset when Anjali entered the picture, but deep down she knew Anjali was never a real threat. Anjali was already married, and Nikitha understood she wasn't going to affect her marriage with Jay. So she never truly felt challenged.

Tharun was different. His presence challenged Jay emotionally, making him realize what he could lose. In the same way, when Sharmi entered Jay's life, Nikitha finally felt that same insecurity. That's when she was no longer willing to simply let things go.

But the real challenge begins now. Unlike Sharmi, whose relationship with Jay was largely a misunderstanding and whose marital status is still unknown to Nikitha, Tharun's relationship with Nikitha is real and fully acknowledged by her. She accepted his love and experienced it herself.


What Tharun said in the last chapter really stood out to me: he told her to take her chance and said that if, after seeing Jay's true love, she still wanted to go back to him, she could. That moment showed what kind of person Tharun is. He isn't trying to force her or manipulate her; he's giving her the freedom to make her own choice.

I think that's what makes the upcoming chapters so difficult. If Nikitha reaches a clear decision, she will inevitably have to hurt one of them. There is no painless outcome anymore, because both relationships have become real in different ways.

To me, that's one of the most interesting aspects of the story—both Jay and Nikitha only seemed to fully recognize the value of their relationship when they genuinely feared losing each other. Now, however, Nikitha isn't choosing between an illusion and reality; she's choosing between two genuine relationships, and that is what makes her decision so heartbreaking and make readers panic. Personally readers may root for both Jay and Tharun, in way that they don't get affected much and get happiness in a fitting way.

Good observation

[heygiwriter]

The glimpse of Jay, when Tharun goes inside Nikitha is a nice touch. It was time he got into accident right. I just imagined a melancholy bgm while they are having sex, my mind imagine Parallel like a split screen. 

On Top Jay is being rescued from car after accident, the rod hitting the car by mechanics to break the door. That ting sound. 

On bottom, Tharun enters Nikitha, with that Thud sound.. 

and the melancholy BGM plays.. 

Ufff cinematic..

 thanks

Waiting for the climax

Consider the previous chapter as Interval

[heygiwriter]

Chapter 103: Stones and Bricks


The waves gently kissed the shore as Nikitha continued, her voice soft but steady, carrying years of buried pain.

“It was the time I almost thought Jay and I were finally becoming a real couple,” she said, staring at the dark sea. “We had agreed to see what the future had in store for us. But it didn’t work that way. I only felt obligated in the relationship because of all the sacrifices Jay had made for me.”
She took a shaky breath.

“In order to protect our secret, Jay got into a relationship with Anjali. At first, I was shocked. I wanted to fight him. He said Anjali was getting too close to uncovering things about him, so he had to play foul and keep her in check. But then I reminded myself — I wasn’t his real wife. This was just a marriage of convenience. I had forced myself into his life.”

“Whenever I looked at his interest in Anjali, I thought… maybe if I had never entered his life, he would have met someone who truly matched his preferences. When we returned home and he didn’t even care to say sorry or try to appease me, I became certain that I was a forceful presence in his life. That feeling kept returning, again and again.”


“For almost a year, it was torture for me. I never raised a single concern.”

“Sex between us was regular in the beginning. At first it was pure heat and passion. Then it slowly became a duty… then just a routine. When I wanted it to feel like love, he never reciprocated. I felt so empty inside. Luckily, we were still good friends, so I didn’t take it completely to heart. But I never realised how deeply I had fallen in love with him over time.”

Nikitha’s voice trembled slightly.


“That’s when the scenario changed. You came into the company. At that time, I was madly in love with Jay. But the moment he told me about you eyeing me and that he had made some kind of deal… I felt disgusted. He had his reasons, his hands were tied. You said you would overlook the Jay-Anjali scenario. Deep inside, I would have been happy if he had fought for me. But when he spoke about it like it was just a news story, I felt disappointed. I started questioning whether I really loved him or if it was just familiarity and duty I mistook for love. I realised he had never truly seen me as his real wife.”

“Still, I didn’t complain. It was a split-second thought that stayed with me forever. I joked about it and buried the feeling. I even laughed and told him, ‘You actually sold your wife to safeguard yourself? Glad I’m not your real wife then. At least I know my market value now.’ I had never seen myself as so cheap before… but I consoled myself that it was the practical solution to keep you away from doubts. So i played along to the deal. That’s how you truly came into my life.”

She looked at Tharun for a moment.


“Somewhere around that time, I remembered the words I once shared with Jay: ‘If we don’t meet a proper better half… even if we have affairs outside, our friendship and understanding will safeguard our relationship. We would crawl back to each other without ego.’”

Nikitha continued, “But the moment you truly entered our lives, things changed. My romantic life with Jay actually improved for a while. He didn’t judge me when I teased you with playful texts and minor flirts. But that spark faded quickly. On the other end, whatever you did to impress me made me want the same from him. I never told him. When you flirted with me, he would stay close — it felt like a playful game for us. We never imagined you could change so much between us.”

“But that didn’t stay long. My wanting only increased. The urge you showed, the special attention you gave me… I had never received that from Jay. Then you surprised me by coming home that day and kissing me. That night I saw a side of Jay I didn’t want to see. He tried to show ownership over me.”

Nikitha’s eyes were wet now.'

“That was the real crack. He said something like, ‘That bastard Tharun… when Anjali goes to him, I fucked her senseless to show her who she belonged to. You… you’re my wife. You are mine. Will I just watch?’ In his eyes, Anjali and I were the same. Your Side Chick and I are same? Am i an object? If he truly considered me his wife, he should never have agreed to that man-to-man understanding. My marriage with him ended that very night.”

Tharun intervened - So Sharmi is not the reason why you dont want to be with him? is the crack appeared even before. 

Nikitha: Yes. 

Tharun: Then why did you not leave him early?

Nikitha: I just want to give some time to him, i believed he will realize. 

“I genuinely wanted him to realize what he had done to me — how he had treated me. I demanded that I needed to feel loved. Slowly, stone by stone, brick by brick… everything we had built started falling apart.”

“It was time we started dating properly, but deep inside I carried so much guilt. You gave me all the love I had been craving. You started winning me bit by bit, while Jay failed miserably. 

I suffered every time he suffered. The more i navigated towards you, it hurts me deeper with the thoughts of Jay. 

“Sometimes, letting one go is also love,” she said quietly. 
“I realised I loved Jay too much to keep hurting him… and to keep hurting myself by staying in a relationship where love had become one-sided and painful. I cannot be a dutiful wife without feeling loved in return.”

and the time when he finally made me realize about his love it was too late, i had crossed lines i shouldn't have. 

Also,  “The moment I realised he could take other women, I understood he wouldn’t stop with just Anjali.
Even after claiming he loved me, he continued approaching Sharmi. We saw them together the other day. I hope she marries him. I have decided to move on with you.” 

Last evening, i urged Sharmi to take a decision to marry him. 

“Today we are here. Right now, I have only one thing in my mind — let him live his life and I will live mine. Separated, for the better. It’s a decision I took over time… and it became final after we consummated our relationship last night.”

Tharun listened quietly, then asked, “I understood everything… but why did you finalized the decision after we had sex?”

Nikitha looked straight into his eyes. “The moment I slept with you, everything I built with him was broken. I broke the trust. I broke the love. Do you think it would be okay to go back to him and say I had sex with Tharun and expect him to forgive me?”

Tharun smirked and looked at her understandingly.

Tharun asked one final question. 

This is just a What if question. Think and answer: Okay, we started our life now, you are forcing yourself out of Jay circle. What if Mithra comes tomorrow and wants me back? And I have to leave you? Will you be able to convince Jay to take you back? Do you think he will accept you?”


Nikitha looked at him for a long moment, then stood up and started walking back toward the villa without answering.

Tharun rushed after her, gently stopping her. He told, its just a What if!!

Nikitha replied calmly, “Before taking the flight, I already moved out of Jay’s house. I’m staying temporarily at a women’s hostel. Maybe I’ll make it permanent instead of shifting between you two.

And for the record, I guarantee you — I won’t stand in the way of Mithra.”

“Calm down,” Tharun said softly. He pulled out his phone, opened WhatsApp, and handed it to her. “Search for Mithra’s contact.”

Nikitha asked why?

Tharun: Just do it!

There was a long message sent last evening — exactly when she and Sharmi were talking.


It read:
“Mithra, I have decided to call off our relationship. Years of love, but I never felt I got anything back. I cannot stay in this life. I’m moving on and you should too.”

The message was sent but unread.

Nikitha looked up at him, surprised. “How did you send this before knowing my decision?”

Tharun smiled gently. “I predicted it. The moment you said ‘take me somewhere’, I realised you had started giving me space. You just hadn’t announced it yet. I wanted to surprise you… but you surprised me instead.”


His hands reached her shoulders. “I love you to the fullest. I’ve read you even before you could say it.”
Nikitha’s face softened with gratitude. She caught his hand and said, “I’m sorry I could not love you back right now… but i will....”


“You dont need to say anything i understand.” Tharun whispered.


He put his arm around her. “Lets go...”

As they walked back, Tharun added, “You and Jay had a seriously interesting tale. Anyone wish such dramatic tale. You both loved each other without realising it. 


Any how, I’m glad Jay slipped
Nakitha: Why?

Tharun: Because i got you now..
Nikitha was no mood to laugh. 

Tharun continued however, I didn’t think he would stoop so low with that letter.

Nikitha’s voice grew firmer. “Tharun, I somewhere still feel that he is not the person who might do such things...”

“But he agreed, right? He admitted it,” Tharun said.

“That’s the most disappointing part,” she replied. “I could not see him turn into a villain. I moved out when I felt he didn’t protect me. But looking at everything…”

Tharun stopped her gently. “Don’t say you’re going to find the truth.”

Nikitha sighed. “I wish… if he wasn’t the one who wrote them, I still want to believe that. But when Jay himself agreed, I couldn’t think otherwise.”
The beach fell silent except for the sound of waves. The first light of dawn was beginning to touch the horizon.

---

As dawn began to break, the beach fell silent except for the gentle sound of waves.


Nikitha had chosen Tharun — not out of overwhelming love for him yet, but because her love for Jay ran so deep that facing him after that night felt impossible. That was the clear, unspoken answer Tharun decoded from everything she had shared.

It heavily raised his insecurity. For a moment, he wanted to tell her to take a full day to think, to breathe, and then come back to him only if she was sure. But he held his tongue.

Her entire story had also given him a clear glimpse of where he stood in her heart. He was the one she turned to for clarity. For healing. For the kind of love she could finally feel. Those three reasons were enough for him right now.

Tharun tightened his arm around her shoulders, determination burning quietly in his chest. He had already won her body. He had won a relationship. Love… he trusted it would come soon. He was ready to fight for it — to win her heart completely, day by day.

The first rays of sunlight touched the sea as the two of them walked back toward the villa, a fragile new beginning unfolding between them.

[heygiwriter]

Chapter 104: A New Promise


The villa bedroom still carried the heavy storm of emotions in recent hours. Even though Tharun had claimed Nikitha’s body so passionately just hours earlier, he now understood she was emotionally somewhere else — still partially belonging to another man. He had heard her full story, confirmed her choice, and knew in his heart that he finally had a real chance.

Lying beside her, Tharun reflected quietly. At first, he had worried that if Jay grew bored of Sharmi, he might try to win Nikitha back. But after everything she had shared on the beach, he felt relieved. It wasn’t Sharmi who destroyed their marriage — it was Jay’s failure to meet her emotional needs, to make her feel truly wanted and protected. Still, winning her heart would be a herculean task. Winning her body had been easy. Winning her love would take time, patience, and consistency.

Early morning sunlight filtered through the big glass windows, gently scratching across the room despite the curtains. Nikitha lay beside him, staring blankly at the ceiling, lost deep in thought.

Tharun knew she needed comfort. Without a word, he pulled her into his strong arms. She looked at him, slightly puzzled. He spoke softly, “If you want to cry, shed it on my chest.”

He hugged her warmly, pressing her face gently against his bare chest. Nikitha’s body tensed for a moment, then she broke. Quiet sobs escaped her as she clung to him. Tharun held her tightly, stroking her hair until the tears slowly subsided.

“Thank you,” she whispered against his skin.

Tharun kissed the top of her head. “Nikitha, from today onward — whether you’re fully prepared or not — I will be your love. I will be your husband. Jay is your past now. I know you may need time, and I won’t pressure you. But we should start thinking about the legal side. Unlike me and Mithra, you and Jay were actually married. You should get a proper divorce. Not immediately… but sooner rather than later.”

Nikitha looked up at him silently.

“Did I hurt you by saying that?” Tharun asked gently.
She didn’t reply. Tharun gave a small, understanding smile. “I know… Don’t I know my Nikitha? I’m just reminding you of the long road we have ahead. I want you for myself, completely. Don’t get scared by the details. We’ll figure everything out together, at your pace.”

He continued, “Meanwhile, I’ve planned to meet Mithra in two weeks. I sent that message to prepare her. I want to meet her in person at her clinic in Cochin and give her proper closure.”

Nikitha looked at him for a long moment. “Take me with you. I will accompany you.”

Tharun raised an eyebrow. She explained softly, “I couldn’t think about the next course of action properly. Luckily, I chose to stay at the women’s hostel. But I feel I’ll need some emotional support. I might feel odd and lonely at the office…”

Tharun understood immediately. It wasn’t that she was missing him — she was afraid of facing Jay alone, whether at home or in the office. She wanted Tharun’s presence as a shield, as a constant reminder of her choice. Thats why she needs Tharun at office and she reminds about staying at hostel. 

He smiled knowingly. “Sure. I’ll take you with me. I’ll even give you a proper introduction if she agrees to meet. And about the hostel… don’t stay there for long. Move to my place when you’re ready.”

Nikitha shook her head. “No. I will stay at the hostel. Once everything becomes legal with my separation, then I’ll move in with you.”

Tharun didn’t argue. He leaned in and kissed her forehead, then her cheek, then the sensitive spot on her neck. He gently caught her face, tilting it up, and pressed a deep lip-to-lip kiss on her. She didn’t fully reciprocate at first, but she didn’t pull away either. Tharun understood her emotional state completely.

“Promise me with this kiss,” he whispered against her lips, “that you choose me. That no matter what happens from now on, this is our choice. You will never leave me.”

Nikitha looked into his eyes for a long moment, then softly replied, “Mmm.”

Tharun opened her mouth with his and sealed the kiss. This time, Nikitha responded — hesitant at first, then with quiet surrender. It was a short kiss, but heavy with assurance and promise. Nikitha would be his.

When they finally parted, Tharun stroked her hair. “You must be tired. Try to sleep for a while.”

“I can’t sleep,” she murmured.
“I’m expecting Sharmi to call us so we can go to the hospital. 
I don’t know why she hasn’t called yet.”

“Let her call when she wants to,” Tharun said calmly. “Until then, have a nap.”

Nikitha closed her eyes. Her mind was a whirlwind of mixed emotions — guilt, relief, fear, and quiet resolve. In every tide of feeling, she kept choosing Tharun. Against her own heart, for the good of everyone.

Little did she know, a new set of revelations was waiting for them in the coming hours.

[heygiwriter]

Wtf she is doing what kind of woman she is in one side she loves Jay and still she is kissing Tharun even after the accident why don't wait why I don't understand she really wants to break Jay heart I guess so that Jay do something stupid and she has one more reason to move away from Jay I hope she gets her mind cleared and take some time off alone after knowing the truth and evaluate things with clear mind then something can happen otherwise constant presence of Tharun is not going to help her choose what her heart wants. She doesn't have guilt that her husband is in car accident is in hospital coming to her to prove her love and she is still kissing another man and sleeping with him and promising to stay with him reality going to hit her very strongly

Truth - truth is she had moved on, she is not going back, the kiss is her assurance for Tharun, the hesitation or not reciprocating is due to her inner turmoil about her husband at hospital. I cannot spoon feed, some situations can be understood from action.

[heygiwriter]

Ok man so Nikkita and Jay will not be together after all sad but that's life not always goes according to you

That you need to wait and watch, if everyone wanted to know the climax, how it will be interesting to watch a film?

[heygiwriter]

Chapter 105: Bitter Confrontation


After a tired and exhausting sleep filled with restless dreams, Nikitha jolted awake. In her dream, Jay was calling for help from the hospital bed while she and Tharun rushed to save him. Strangely, even in the dream, she knew it wasn’t real — yet she couldn’t wake up. The car they were in met with an accident and flipped, just like Jay’s had. Her body jerked violently.

Tharun immediately caught her, pulling her close. “What happened? Bad dream?”
Nikitha shook her head. 

after few seconds she said . “Let’s not wait for Sharmi anymore. We should go ourselves.”

Tharun nodded. “Okay. Get freshened up and dress neatly. If we’re going to act like we’re unaware, we need to look the part.”
They got ready in thirty minutes. Tharun then called Sharmi.

“Hey Sharmi, where is Jay? I couldn’t reach him.”
Sharmi’s voice was sharp on the other end. 
“Is Nikitha with you? I need to speak to her.”

Tharun handed the phone over.
Nikki puts an act when she got the phone: “Hey Sharmi, good morning. What’s the agenda today?” 

Sharmi asked sarcastically, before her tone turned venomous. “Are you even a woman? You know what your husband met with an accident last night, and instead of being there, you were having a sexual night with another man? How cheap can you be?”

“Mind your words, Sharmi,” Nikitha replied coldly. 
“You really know nothing about us, and I didnt know Jay met with an accident"

Sharmi: “I don’t care. I don’t wish to speak to you… but unfortunately, you are still his wife. Come to the hospital soon.” 
Sharmi gave the address and hung up.

Nikkitha was quite prepare for this.. outburst from Sharmi..  Both Niki and Tharun started in car. 

Thirty minutes later, they reached the hospital. Sharmi was waiting at the reception. As soon as Nikitha walked in, Sharmi thrust a set of documents into her hands.

“What is this?” Nikitha asked.
“Papers that need signatures. The hospital wants them from family.”

“Can’t you sign them?”
Sharmi laughed bitterly. “I’m not his wife.”

Sharmi observed her for a moment. There was no visible shock or fear on Nikitha’s face.
Her temper exploded.
“You bitch! Did you forget Jay is your husband?” Why are you still acting like you are strangers even now.?

Nikitha was unprepared for this direct, face-to-face confrontation. She froze for a second.

Sharmi continued furiously, “What? Are you scared that your secret lover Tharun will know your secret? 

Hey Tharun, you might be in a higher position, but you’re just an asshole who stole another man’s wife!”

A few people in the reception area turned to stare. Both Nikitha and Tharun felt a wave of shame.
Tharun stood silently. Nikitha stepped closer. “Stop this, Sharmi. Don’t drag him into this unnecessarily.”

“Oh, so you’re protecting your lover now?” 
Sharmi sneered. “But you can’t even show basic panic about your husband’s condition? Don’t you even want to know if he’s safe?”

Tharun remained unshaken. Looking at his posture.. Sharmi smirked. “So Tharun already knows you and Jay are married, yet he still stole you?”
Nikitha pressed Sharmi’s hand firmly. “This is my personal matter. You don’t get to bother about it. 

If you’re so worried about Jay, then you take care of him. Why are you bothering me? Let me be the sick bitch who cheated on him and moved on. You’re his new girlfriend, right? Last day you both had early morning sex. Did we object or create a scene?”

“What the fuck! That’s the limit!” Sharmi shouted.

“So you take all decisions based on your assumptions? Poor you… I never had sex with him. Last morning I fainted in the room. He just stayed with me. You can ask the reception — a doctor visited us.”

Nikitha was visibly shocked by the revelation. Her heart ached. But Sharmi wasn’t done.

“Looks like Tharun has polluted your mind by spitting so many lies about Jay.”
Nikitha’s voice turned firm. “If you want to blame me, do it. But don’t drag Tharun and he doesnt stole me from anyone, i choose him He is my future. He is going to be my husband. So behave. If you care about Jay so much, just marry him and take care of him.”

Sharmi responded furiously, “You bitch, get your senses back. Won’t you even ask me directly?”

Didn't i? Nikki said.. “I spoke with you last evening.
Why were you going to tell me you won’t marry him?”

“Yes,” Sharmi said, raising her hand to show a ring. 
“I’m already married.”

Last night he was trying to clear that misunderstanding.
Its my fault, i thought you would stay last night. 
But you went away outside to have sex with Tharun. Frankly speaking you don't deserve him.. 
but what to do he madly loves you. I fear what will he do if he come to know all his effort went in vein and for nothing.. 

He would be shocked to know, you had sex with Tharun while he was at hospital.

Nikitha’s world felt like it was crashing. All the misunderstandings, all the assumptions…
She staggered backward. Tharun quickly held her steady as tears welled up in her eyes.

Sharmi continued mercilessly, “What? You feel bad now? You realise you’re a bitch? 
Go and fall on his feet once he recovers. 
Beg him to forgive you. Beg him to give you a place in his heart and his home.”

Nikitha looked at her with trembling lips. 
However she quickly got herself together.. 

She waited for few second processed everything and said.. “You are right about one thing… I don’t deserve him. That’s why I’m moving on. By now you should know this marriage was out of convenience, there is no love... its just a deal to protect each other. It was never meant to last forever, and it has ended. Yes, maybe I misunderstood your relationship with him… but I chose Tharun for different reasons.”

Sharmi mocked her cruelly, “Why? Because Tharun performs better in bed? Or because he has more money to offer?”
“Mind your words,” Nikitha fired back.

As the argument escalated, a nurse approached them hurriedly.
“Jay’s attenders? The doctor is calling for you.”

the entire confrontation had came to a point, the ugly fight was put to an end by the doctor's call.

Chapter 106 - The Weight of Duty


As soon as the three of them entered the doctor’s room, they left their heated arguments outside. The doctor greeted them politely and began explaining Jay’s condition.

“The good news is that he is recovering well. His condition is stable, and there are no signs of brain bleeding or any injury that requires surgery. We’d like to keep him under observation overnight one last time. If everything remains stable, we can discharge him tomorrow morning.”
The doctor continued, “He has sustained a moderate head injury — a concussion — and a hairline fracture in his elbow. 

The fracture will heal with immobilization, but the head injury requires patience. 
Recovery over the next few weeks is just as important as the treatment he’s received here.”

“Once he’s home, he needs complete physical and mental rest for at least a week. No business meetings, no long-distance travel by road if it can be avoided, no heavy work, and no stressful discussions. He should eat light, nutritious meals, stay well hydrated, and take the prescribed medications exactly as directed.”

The doctor, who had spoken to Nikitha the previous night and knew they were separated, stressed the next part while looking directly at her:
“It’s important that someone stays with him, especially during the first few days. He may become dizzy, forgetful, or unusually tired. If he develops severe headache, repeated vomiting, confusion, weakness, seizures, or becomes difficult to wake, bring him to the nearest emergency department immediately.”

“One more thing…” The doctor paused. “Please don’t give him any upsetting or emotionally stressful news right now. Avoid arguments, business pressures, or anything that could cause significant emotional distress. His brain is still recovering.”

He handed over a thick file. “I’ve prepared a complete discharge summary along with copies of his CT scans, X-rays, blood test reports, and treatment notes. There’s also a referral letter to a neurologist and an orthopedic specialist in Bangalore. He should have a follow-up within five to seven days.”

The doctor finally asked, “Who is going to sign these documents?”

Sharmi immediately pointed at Nikitha. “She. She is his legal wife. Only she should do it.”

Nikitha wanted to close this hospital chapter as quickly as possible. She decided to sign after everything was out there, but before signing, she glanced at Tharun. He gave her a small nod — It’s okay, do it. She signed the papers without a word.

Sharmi watched the entire exchange with visible irritation.

Once they stepped out of the doctor’s room, Sharmi turned on Nikitha again. “You signed it. You are his wife. That’s the reality. Stop fooling around with Tharun. Once he gets discharged, at least for the sake of your marriage, you should be with him. Kick Tharun out and go take care of Jay properly.”

Nikitha replied calmly,  “I remind you - i know to live my life, i don't want anyone else to dictate me what i should do. The marriage between me and Jay was fake. It was a deal for the company. Nothing more.  Tharun knows everything, still We kept it quiet to protect our secrets..”

Sharmi’s eyes narrowed. “Oh, then I should take the same route… to safeguard the secrets that came to my knowledge. You need to be in his home, taking care of him until he gets fine.”

Nikitha looked stunned. The threat was clear.

Tharun stepped forward. “What are you threatening us with? We don’t care. Go ahead and tell the world. We are ready for it.”

Sharmi laughed coldly. “That’s okay. I know you guys are shameless. But what if I tell everyone that you purposely sabotaged the company deal so you could take a day off outside the city for a sexual fling? And that Jay found out about your foul play and got into the accident because of it? I can easily spin that narrative. Can you challenge it before the company?”

Nikitha was shocked. “What kind of nonsense this is? That’s not what happened! The business meet failed because Dhruv was not the person he projected himself to be.”

That may be the truth but “Who cares?” i will pin my own lie Sharmi shot back. “I will paint that story. When company find out about your affair, you’ll just be thrown out. But if company top rank people get even a doubt about sabotage, they will make your life hell with cases. I will gladly stand as a witness. You don’t have anything concrete to defend yourself. The news about the car accident at a distant location which is not even related to place the company had initially booked..  And you both staying at a luxury villa… imagine how that will look.”

I know we will be questioned too, I Jay will gain sympathy, i will play innocent, to back my innocence, reception people and doctors where there. Who will stand for you to prove your side at Dhruv place? or how will reason why you took her somewhere outside like 30 kms away.  

Tharun looked at her in disbelief. Nikitha read the tension on his face.

Tharun finally spoke, “I will face it.”

But Nikitha stopped him. “It’s okay. Anyhow, Jay has no one else right now. I will take care of him for a few weeks. We are not that heartless.” Its just your assumption i will leave him alone in this tough time. 

Sharmi smirked, dont act like you are gracious enough. Without my threat you would have moved an inch. 

Tharun looked at Sharmi and said coldly, “We are not demons. like you try to pain.  We atleast try to speak — unlike you drama queens and kings.”

Sharmi was about to retort when a nurse approached them hurriedly.

“Jay has woken up. Does anyone want to visit him?”


The nurse’s words hung in the air like a challenge.

Sharmi and Tharun immediately started walking in the direction the nurse had gone. But Nikitha’s legs felt weak, as if rooted to the cold hospital floor. Her heart hammered violently in her chest. After everything that had happened - she had no guts to face Jay right now.

Her throat tightened. The thought of looking into his eyes made her stomach churn with shame.

Chapter 107: Fragile Facade


The moment Tharun and Sharmi stepped into the ward, Nikitha stumbled slightly outside the door. Her heart pounded with fear. Facing Jay after everything that had happened felt impossible. Yet she forced herself to breathe deeply. She knew she had committed to taking care of him for the next few weeks.

She had originally planned to leave him once they returned from the business trip and move permanently into Tharun’s house after the legal separation. But fate had other plans. The accident and the doctor’s strict advice had trapped her in this situation. She wiped away a tiny tear from the corner of her eye and walked weakly toward the room.

Tharun entered first. “Jay… you’re alright. Just stay strong. One more day and you’ll be discharged.”
Jay turned his head away, clearly not ready to see Tharun’s face. Tharun noticed and quietly stepped back. Sharmi entered next, looking genuinely worried.

“Jay, we’re here. Don’t worry, you’re going to be fine. How are you feeling?”

Nikitha came in last. She stood silently near the bed. Her eyes flooded with unshed tears the moment she saw him lying there — bandaged, pale, and vulnerable. She tried hard to hold them back.

Tharun didn’t miss the way Nikitha’s body shivered or how her eyes flooded with unshed tears. He quietly excused himself.

“I need to speak with HR and update them. You take care.”

As he left the room, he turned back and gave her a subtle signal — It’s okay. Be strong.

Nikitha didn’t utter a single word. But her trembling body, the way her eyes glistened yet refused to let the tears fall, and the deep worry etched on her face told a story that only Jay could truly understand.

Sharmi also stepped out shortly after, deliberately giving them privacy. Deep down, she hoped her earlier threat would force Nikitha to stay with Jay. She believed the closeness would give Jay a chance to speak his heart and bring them back together. She feared Tharun’s presence would only complicate things, so she had strategically chosen to threaten them.

---

When she stepped outside, she saw Tharun sitting quietly on a visitor’s chair, not on any call.

“Let’s call HR and inform them properly,” Sharmi said. “The representatives must have already heard about the accident. The local cops were here a few minutes ago taking statements. We should get ahead of this and avoid unnecessary doubts.”

Tharun nodded. “I haven’t figured out what to say yet. I’ll just inform them about the accident. We can figure out the rest later.”
But Sharmi already had a complete plan in her head.

When Tharun called, the HR head had already received vague information and was about to call him back. As Tharun began explaining, Sharmi suddenly grabbed the phone from his hand.

“Doctor is calling you. I’ll speak with HR,” she lied smoothly.
Tharun realized what she was doing but stayed silent.

“Sir, Jay got into an accident,” Sharmi began. “He is okay now and will be discharged tomorrow.”
The HR head sounded relieved but immediately asked, “Good to hear. But why did you all go to a place completely unrelated and far from our booked hotel? The representative said first Tharun left, then Jay followed. Did both men fight or something? You know the story — Jay had written those letters about Tharun and Nikitha. I got scared if some enmity happened.”

Sharmi replied calmly, “No sir, nothing like that. It’s totally unrelated.”
The HR pressed further, “Then why an unknown place? Do you know any details?”

Sharmi took a breath and delivered her story smoothly:
“It’s a long story sir, but let me tell you in short. Soon after arriving, I got sick and fainted. The reception helped me get a doctor, and I had to stay here. Jay stayed back with me. Meanwhile, Nikitha and Tharun went to meet Dhruv. The meeting failed. Only Tharun knows the exact reasons. He felt guilty about returning empty-handed, so he contacted some friends who were staying at a luxury villa. Tharun sir went first to discuss business matters. He requested Jay to join him at the same address to discuss about coding.. Since I was sick, Jay and Nikitha stayed with me initially. Jay left later to join the meeting and met with the accident on the way. Tharun was the one who got the call and admitted him. This is what happened, sir.”

Her lie was so smooth and well-structured that the HR completely bought it.

“Alright. Let’s postpone this trip. From the start, something has been strange with lots of disturbances. When can he be discharged?”
“Tomorrow, sir.”

“Okay. You all come back tomorrow with Jay. I’ll make the necessary arrangements. Don’t worry about the failed meeting. I’ll speak with Tharun when he’s free. Take care of Jay. I want all of you to return safely.”

“Sure, sir,” Sharmi said and cut the call.
Tharun looked at her with a mix of disbelief and disappointment.

“You project me as some sinister, manipulating person… but look at you. How smoothly you lie.”
Sharmi shrugged without any shame. “I lie for the greater good. I manipulate for the greater good. It’s not a selfish act.”

---

Inside the ward, the air felt thick with unspoken pain.

Jay slowly raised his trembling hand toward her. 

Nikitha hesitated for a brief second before gently taking it. His palm was cold, the IV line taped to the back of his hand.

“Doctor spoke to me,” she said softly, forcing her voice to stay steady. “You’re fine. Just one more day here and we’ll go back tomorrow.”

Jay looked at her for a long moment, searching her face. “I came rushing… to stop you before anything could happen between you two.”
Nikitha swallowed hard. “It doesn’t matter now. I just want you to recover soon. Other talks can stay away for now.”

Her words sounded gentle, but to Jay, they rang hollow. For the first time, he could clearly feel the fakeness in her tone — the careful distance, the rehearsed calmness. The way her eyes struggled to meet his, the reluctant way she held his hand, the slight tremor in her voice… everything told him what he had feared the most had already happened.

He was glad she had come. She had a chace to cut him off, Tharun might restricted her to be here. But they did came here. Glad they behaved human.. he thought.  At least she was here. But the ache in his chest was sharper than any pain from the accident. The thought of Nikitha is here not for love or care, just on humanitarian ground. 

He remembered how she didnt answer direct about she and tharun turned into one. 

he got a doubt, like what if something really medically happened to him after the accident?
he slowly decided to ask her...

“Did the doctor warn you about something?” he asked quietly. 

“Like in the movies — don’t tell the patient anything shocking? Because I can sense so much fakeness in your words, Nikki.”

Nikitha froze. Her heart skipped a beat. In that moment, she realized that not only Tharun, but even Jay could still read her so easily. The realization hit her like a wave — she had messed up everything. Badly.

She had no words to counter him, no way to shut down his painful observation. Her throat tightened as guilt flooded her.

“I’ll… I’ll go meet the doctor and get a note of your dietary plans,” she said quickly, pulling her hand away. “Stop overthinking.”
Jay didn’t argue. He simply closed his eyes, the corner of his mouth twitching with suppressed pain. He knew things had come to this point. There was no denying it anymore.

As he lay there silently struggling with the heavy truth, the door opened and Sharmi stepped back into the room.
