Point is journey! Every character has its own journey, Had Nikita been at this state before Tharun, Had she realized this truth about Jay before Tharun she would have instantly expressed her love to Jay and would have opened her heart in a heartbeat. She would have made Jay feel secure in love, she would have made him learn to safely love again, she would have patiently waited for him to start loving again and would have helped him the process but alas life doesn't work that way so does this story...the knowledge of why Jay has been that way all this time despite sharing great sex with her and unresponsive at rest of the times she just learned through her experience from her own state with Tharun...Had Tharun not been in her life at all, she would have eventually just parted ways with divorce even though there is no man in her life as soon as loan is paid off....Couldn't you see, Tharun in her life, Sharmi in Jay's life are teaching them life lessons in their own way.....

In a way they are becoming catalysts for the real couple to understand each other better than they did when they were together.... So point is journey to a place where they both learn to love in a way a couple should learn and in process realize all their mistakes they did all this time which kept them away from each other emotionally...so I feel there are more lessons to learn for Jay esp and Nikita too before they can sit and talk through and become one, if at all that is possible. 

Major obstacle from Nikita's side is her nature of keeping promises above everything in her life....she promised to stay with Jay for loan, as wife, as a partner to show world that she is his wife for his family....she is so bound to that promise that she forgot to love herself and think about herself for a long time...she craved that love from Jay but when she did not get it and when she met Tharun its like a drop in the dessert that sucks rain, she in her desperate state again bounded herself to Tharun with a promise...even in that state she made sure Jay is fine, he has some one who can take care of himself, he doesn't turn into some one she would hate eventually in his desperation..... so she kept him apart, her promises have been her doom and she needs to raise above those to see what she truly needs in her life, who is that one person who actually in real will keep her heart happy...everything else is meaning less until she realizes it no matter how many times she sleeps with Tharun. 

For Jay, he has been this giant troll who is stone hearted and never has been responsive and talks less too...maybe he has become like that since his GF cheated him and that trauma can sometimes make one hate love and hate being in love again...though he can see that Nikita has always been his savior, been his companion, been there for him through thick and thin, he never appreciated it expressively until she is vexed up and planned to leave him, So his hidden feelings has risen once he started to experience the fear of losing her....so he still has to become that responsive husband who shows how much he loves his wife, mere words are not enough, he could take a leaf from Tharun who thinks about Nikita all the time, a simple gesture of taking her to movie as she has been tied to house taking care of Jay was such a thoughtful gesture...Jay needs to learn such thoughtfulness to be able to give what Nikita has always wished it came from Jay. 

So this journey is from far from over to be able to resolve with a simple chit chat between lead couple....they are not ready yet nor they understand each other well yet....let see what's in store further in the story. Tharun's heavy involvement emotionally with Nikita is also a threat for the couple, when he is giving readily what Nikita always wanted with out much efforts like Jay, her tending towards her lover than husband is easy and she doesn't have to struggle against and fight against the promise she gave too but unfortunately heart doesn't work that way, the way mind works....so ending will be interesting.

WAIT, WHAT DID I JUST READ?


When I was thinking it was impossible for Nikitha to go back towards Jay, especially after the way she and Tharun had been having intense sex in the bed, suddenly you brought in the mirror to show what she was doing? Like a relisation? I have never seen anything like that even in movies.

I was jerking off to the scene unfolding between Nikitha and Tharun. When he asked for a second round, I was seriously wondering if they would try a new position or something. Because just minutes back, she was responding to his request and wholeheartedly tried for him. But then came the surprise. Nikitha locked her gaze on the mirror. THE TRUTH OUT - UNEXPECTED and UNBELIEVALE YET IT WAS SO GOOD. 


But WAIT DEAR AUTHOR

Before this scene, I actually wanted to scold you for bringing in the Nikitha and Tharun sex scene at all. In the previous chapter, we were left on a massive cliffhanger about who had come to Jay’s house to save him! I knew it could be Nikitha, but I was hoping it would be someone else. If it was her, I thought it would feel fake. After treating him so coldly for a whole week, why would she suddenly support him? Maybe she would bring the loan closure papers to show the uncle, but the uncle had not come for that, he came there just to ridicule him, right? So revealing loan paper looks illogical. 

When such a serious incident was happening on Wednesday evening, the chapter ended abruptly on that cliffhanger. So I was furious when the next chapter went back to the Wednesday morning incident. Then you started explaining the mirror magic, and Tharun was spouting some nonsense that I mostly ignored because, the entire setup promises a upcoming hot sex scene, At least, I thought, I had a hot sex scene to enjoy.


But what i got after that was completely unexpected. Without any preaching, without anyone telling her anything, Nikitha learned her lesson through her own actions. She stood in Jay’s shoes for once.

Beautiful. Poetic.

Now that she has arrived at Jay’s place, the entire setup feels so authentic. She looks so much more beautiful as a character now.
Can’t wait to see what you have in store next!

Im Glad you Enjoyed it :)

[heygiwriter]

Now the next question is: who really deserves Nikitha?



Right now, I want to delete all my expectations and wishes from my mind. I just want to stay open. Let Nikitha, that sweet soul, choose whoever she wants. Let her enjoy whatever she wishes.

She is entering a long period of turmoil now. She already lost her mother once and may be longing for real love. Her father was just acted like  stranger to her, as he only listened to her stepmother. I believe half her life has been loveless.

When she entered Jay’s life, she was honest and loyal. She carried genuine love for him. That’s why it’s so believable that she couldn’t endure the pain when she realised Jay compared her to Anjali, his side chick, and put them on the same level.

To a girl who grew up with a stepmother, it makes complete sense that she would naturally hate any woman who comes in as a side chick, right? So did the author create the stepmother character just for this purpose? and the step mother was cruel like she planned to marry of her to old man for money !

Now I understand why she got so hurt when Jay equated her with Anjali. Even if he said it only once, it must have dug deep into her wounds. That’s why one single action still makes her so mad at him.

Given such a loveless history, it makes sense why she went to Tharun when he gave her everything she needed.

Nikitha is a beautiful, misunderstood soul for the larger part of her life. I can really relate to that.

Now she have Tharun's care and love,
Now she understood Jay's sincere love, (expressed like her)

After years of being unloved in her stepmother’s house, the author has gifted her with two loves at once.

YES. 

She yearned for Love, that she didn't get from her own home. 

Her story comes a short flashback but i had removed it considering pace. 

She had a beautiful life, when her biological mother was alive, who was a musical teacher by herself. Where she gained knowledge of playing Piano. Which is why when she found piano at Tharun's apartment she played it instantly, his house warmly reminded her mother because of piano. 

But i reduced those details, as following scene they had to kiss, and some other elements. 

Nikitha is even misread by many users, but we cant help it, like how she lately understood Jay, audience will take time to understand Nikitha, but before the climax, she would be understood by many. 

Regarding who she will end up, i didn't think that way, climax will be mostly how she going to stay happy, and making her people happy :)

[heygiwriter]

Let me hear the Guesses

Nikitha is right now stuck between two love.

Who she would choose, who will win her. 

What would be perfect :)

[heygiwriter]

Is she heroine or some roadside whore

if you have ny guesses just post it or ignore, its just his wish

[heygiwriter]

It is inevitable, the author asked for it, hence the comment:

You can ignore this Heygi, because I want your Ending, stemmed out of your mind. 

There are several believable ways this story could end, depending on the message the author wants to leave. Here are four strong possibilities:

Ending 1: Jay & Nikita Reconcile (Redemption Arc)

- Jay genuinely realizes that Nikita is the love of his life and works to earn back her trust.
- Nikita struggles because she has feelings for both Jay and Tarun, but ultimately realizes that her emotional bond with Jay never completely disappeared.
- Tarun notices that her heart still leans toward Jay and chooses to step away gracefully rather than become someone's second choice.
- Jay and Nikita reconcile, but only after rebuilding trust slowly, showing that love alone isn't enough—effort and accountability matter.

Theme: Forgiveness, growth, and second chances.

---

Ending 2: Nikita Chooses Tarun (Moving Forward)

- Jay's realization comes too late.
- Nikita decides that the affair permanently broke the foundation of her marriage.
- She honors her commitment to Tarun, who has consistently respected and supported her.
- Jay accepts the consequences of his choices and later finds someone new, entering a healthier relationship after learning from his mistakes.

Theme: Actions have consequences, and life moves forward.

---

Ending 3: Nikita Chooses Neither

- Nikita realizes she's been defining herself through relationships.
- She ends things with both Jay and Tarun and focuses on rebuilding her own life.
- Tarun reconnects with his own future, perhaps even reconsidering his past relationship or simply moving on.
- Jay also moves forward, eventually finding love again after becoming a better person.

Theme: Self-discovery, independence, and emotional healing.

---

Ending 4: Three Different Paths (Bittersweet Realism)

- Tarun recognizes that Nikita's feelings for Jay haven't completely disappeared and decides to let her go.
- Jay tries everything to save the marriage, but Nikita believes too much damage has been done.
- They divorce peacefully.
- Years later:
 - Jay finds a healthier relationship after changing himself.
 - Nikita finds happiness with someone completely unexpected.
 - Tarun also finds love elsewhere.

No one "wins," but everyone grows.

Theme: Sometimes love isn't enough, but growth is.

---

Which Ending Feels Most Natural?

Given the setup, the most emotionally realistic ending is probably a blend of Ending 1 and Ending 4. Tarun is emotionally mature enough to recognize that Nikita's heart still has unresolved feelings for Jay. Whether Jay and Nikita actually reconcile should depend on whether Jay earns forgiveness—not simply because he regrets his mistakes.

That kind of ending respects all three characters:

- Jay faces the consequences of his affair and grows.
- Nikita makes an active choice instead of being pulled by guilt or obligation.
- Tarun keeps his dignity by refusing to stay in a relationship where he isn't truly chosen.

You laid a route map of all possibilities. 

Hats off to you. 

There is one dynamic, which you didn't post it. But thats fine, the climax may look even more unexpected that way.. However, climax indeed have some of points you had predicted. 


I loved it, something are truly put up well. Like you thought well 

Lets see what others say.

[heygiwriter]

My cent

Nikitha diagnosed with cancer both stand by till her death and remain unmarried with her memories out of true love

Areey Bhaiyaa. Why this Golaveri

[heygiwriter]

Ya I thought of it, a surprise ending, the 5th possibility. Not going to reveal. 

As I always keep saying surprise me. Let us hear others. 

And no one ever made me invest this much time in xossipy.

Now its my turn. Hats off to you buddy. 
But always 

[heygiwriter]

Dear Heygi, don't do this 6 things

1.Nikita Chooses Jay Only Because of Guilt

She loves Tarun but returns to Jay because they are married or because she feels guilty for sleeping with Tarun.

Why it doesn't work: The ending is based on obligation rather than genuine love. It weakens Nikita's character by taking away her agency

2. Tarun Turns Into the Villain

Tarun becomes possessive, manipulative, or abusive just to make Jay look like the better choice.

Why it doesn't work: If Tarun has been portrayed as a decent man throughout the story, changing his personality at the end feels like a cheap plot device.

3. Jay and Tarun Fight Over Nikita

The climax becomes a physical confrontation or a dramatic "choose one of us" scene.

Why it doesn't work: This shifts the focus away from Nikita's decision and reduces her to a prize rather than the person making the choice.

4. Sudden Pregnancy Decides Everything

Nikita becomes pregnant, and the pregnancy alone determines who she ends up with.

Why it doesn't work: A pregnancy shouldn't be used as a shortcut to resolve emotional conflicts. It avoids addressing the real issues of trust, love, and accountability.

5.It Was All a Misunderstanding

Jay never really cheated.

Tarun and Nikita never actually loved each other.

Everything is explained away in the last chapter.

Why it doesn't work: It erases the emotional stakes and makes readers feel their investment in the story didn't matter..

6.One Character Dies for Shock Value

Jay dies.

Tarun dies.

Nikita dies.

Why it doesn't work: Unless the entire story has been building toward tragedy, killing a character just to end the love triangle often feels manipulative instead of emotionally satisfying.

Assured, None of this is in my mind. 

There is a pregnancy angle but its like a sweet one. The decision of hers and this has no relation.

please forget this and fuck :D

but it had couple of things already arriving in next chapter.

[heygiwriter]

Chapter 117 - Unexpected move from Nikitha

The tension in the living room was thick enough to choke on.  The older man’s presence filled the space like an unwelcome storm cloud, bringing back years of family pressure and humiliation in a single glance.


NIkkitha asked  “Why did you follow me from the medical shop? And why did you run straight here the moment my car got into an accident?” 

Accident? Jay looked at her with a question! Nikkitha told him it was a small hit, nothing big, the bumper got damaged. 

Jay did he had anything. Sharmi, did you offered him tea? 


The uncle blinked, momentarily thrown off by her directness and composed demeanor. Back then she looked vulnerable.. Now she looks bold. He was not sure if he should continue the filthy game of accusing them for an inappropriate relationship. But looking at her boldness, he decided to drop his smartness. 

Between you didn't answer my question.. Why did you follow me from the medical shop? And why did you run straight here the moment my car got into an accident you could have said a Hi to me..


“Ahh,that one Nikitha,” he recovered quickly, forcing a sheepish laugh. “I didn’t follow you. I was actually on my way to deliver invitations for my family function happening next week in the village. I was actually on my way home to Invite Jay,  I just happened to see you at the medical shop… with some strange man. Naturally, I got concerned.”

He pulled out a printed invitation card and waved it half-heartedly, but his eyes narrowed with malicious curiosity.

“Between … I’m just curious. What were you doing with that man outside the medical shop? Buying birth control pills, no less. Maybe you bought it for family control.. But see people often misread it, even a few minutes back I was scolding Jay mistaking you all for something else. He laughed like he was joking. He had expected denial, or at least awkward silence from a vulnerable woman, if she knew that he would accuse her. Not this bold woman stepping into the fire.
Nikitha sensed an opportunity, She asked so what?

Sudagaran the uncle looked at her, the posture, the boldness, He actually wanted to spin a tale on Jay's wife, exaggerate it to Jay and make him and his wife fight, use the same story to spread across the Village to shame Jay, but Nikitha’s answer indirectly alarmed him.


Still he decided to confront decently unlike how he showed authoritativeness towards Jay. Also at the same time accuse conveniently to hurt them deeper and check how far they can take it.


Sudagaran continued , Don’t tell me you two are already divorced and living with other people? If that’s not the case, then you are roaming around with another man while your husband is here with some other woman… It's disgusting. Not suitable behavior for our family at all. 

What exactly is happening here?” Any one cares to explain. 
Nikitha clearly sensed it.  She could see the uncle’s mind working — he wanted to humiliate Jay, dig for dirt, and use whatever he had seen to create maximum damage.

Uncle stop your acting, not at all believable. “You rushed here specifically after seeing me, right?” she asked calmly. “You came to rush here, just to irritate Jay with whatever filthy story your mind cooked up?”

The uncle laughed awkwardly, but there was venom underneath. He thought she was going to deny, however he realised he was caught red handed by her when she catched his intent of coming here.… “It’s not what I thought, daughter. The world today is like that. Elders like us have to consider all possibilities.” If nothing works between you, it's fine. Family honors have to be protected. 

Jay watched the exchange with growing dread, his injured elbow throbbing. He expected Nikitha to scold the uncle for his nasty mindset. Instead, she did something far bolder.

“Yeah,” Nikitha said, her voice clear and unashamed.
Sudagaran looks confused. 
What, yeah? He asked. 


Nikitha stepped a bit, and pointed her hands towards the door,  “See the man still sitting in the car outside? He is my lover. It was him who saw us together.”
The uncle’s face went blank with shock. He had come prepared to ridicule and sow doubt, expecting tears or desperate lies. Nikitha’s open admission left him speechless. The anger busted in him.

“How dare you…?” he finally sputtered. “How dare you speak to me like that? I’m your father’s age! You shameless girl — saying such things directly to my face!”

He turned to Jay, voice rising. “Jay, look who you married! She is not a proper woman. I always knew she would bring shame. Divorce her. Come back with me. Marry my second daughter. You know why I’ve always trolled and belittled you? Because you shamed me by rejecting my daughter and choosing her. Other than that, I have no personal issue with you. I always liked you and wanted you in my family, the moment you went out of me for someone i had to act like this. Now I see how you live your life, enough Jay come with me.. I will take care of you.”

Nikitha’s eyes flashed with defiance. Before Jay could respond, she stepped forward.
“Mr. Sudhagaran, you were speaking to me. Why are you pressuring Jay? Handle your issues with me directly.”

Jay quickly caught her hand and pulled her aside, voice low and urgent. “What are you doing? I know you want to break this marriage eventually, but let’s keep it between us. This is not the time to let my family know everything. You just admitted to an affair in front of him. He’ll spread it everywhere. Don't you know it will damage my reputation and name further?”

Nikitha looked at him, her gaze steady despite the storm inside her.
“Have I ever asked anything of you after our marriage?”
Jay paused, searching her eyes. “No.”

“Then consider this the one thing I’m asking.
Leave this matter to me. I need to handle him this way.”

Jay said I would do anything for you, but if you think like that, you are doing and damaging my name deliberately so that i would hate you and choose his daughter or someone, that wont work..  A damage to reputation or name is nothing before you leave me, I almost experienced that. 

Nikitha looked at him, her expression softening for the first time in days. “Trust me this one time, Jay. This wont hurt you.. It will get back everything you lost.”
Jay searched her eyes. For a brief moment, he saw the old Nikitha — the woman who had stood beside him through chaos. He didn’t understand her plan, but he chose to believe in her. He was even okay if she was deliberately doing to hurt him, he thought he could take this as a punishment for everything he did to her. 

He finally said,  “Do whatever you want,”  
Nikitha gently released his hand and walked back toward the uncle, her posture straight and confident.

“Uncle, your intention to threaten and ridicule him is already done. If you’re satisfied, you can leave. Or if you have any other purpose worth our time, we’ll listen.”
Sudhagaran’s face twisted with irritation.

 “You bitch! You think you can talk to me like this? I’ll not leave it just like that. Don't ever think of steeping into my Village.

Nikitha laughed lightly — cold, controlled, and cutting, who said I would be coming to Jay’s place. He may be coming there. But i wont, she opened her mobile and showed a flight ticket to Cochin. It's a trip to Cochin next week, days didn't match with your function, but I will be with Tharun for the entire week. 

Shut up bitch, the uncle sneered with irritation. Jay,come back to the village next week. I’ll speak to your parents. Let me get you married to my second daughter. You don’t need this poisonous woman.”

If you are done just leave my place, Nikitha 
The uncle stormed out, muttering threats under his breath. The door slammed behind him.

The room fell into heavy silence.

[heygiwriter]

Chapter 118: Fractured Trust & Silent Deals

---

Sharmi stood frozen for a few seconds after the uncle stormed out. The door slam still echoed in the house. She had witnessed everything — Nikitha’s bold, almost reckless admission, the uncle’s stunned rage, and Jay’s quiet compliance. Her mind was spinning.

As soon as the uncle’s car disappeared down the street, Sharmi turned toward Nikitha, eyes wide with disbelief and anger.

“What the hell were you thinking, Nikitha?!” she burst out, voice sharp. “Don’t you know this will damage his reputation? What if that man spreads this story in the village? If you want to break things with Jay, fine — do it within these walls. Why drag his relative into it and ridicule Jay in front of him like that?”

Nikitha remained silent, her expression unreadable.

Sharmi turned to Jay, her voice softening with concern. “Jay… I’m sorry. She didn’t look like the kind of person you deserve. She’s poisonous. Look how she just threw you under the bus like that. I came here to take care of you, but standing in the same place as her disgusts me. A part of me wants to leave right now… but another part feels bad for you. I feel restless leaving you with her. Just be careful, okay? Call me anytime you need anything. My house is always open for you. My husband is an understanding person.”

Jay gave her a tired but grateful smile. “Thank you, Sharmi. This is my place. I won’t leave Here..”
Okay understandable, stay here. But just answer my question Jay, she is throwing mud on you before your relative, cant you stop it and defend youself that she is lying. 

Jay looked at her and said, she never asked me anything so far, this is the first thing she asked me, how could i not do that. 

Sharmi looked at him with pity and frustration, then glanced back at Nikitha. 
“She is actually asking for your life, Jay. That’s what she wants. Beware.”

With that, Sharmi left, the door closing behind her with a heavy click.
The house fell into complete silence.

Nikitha didn’t bother responding to Sharmi’s outburst. She simply looked at Jay for a moment, then said quietly, “Thank you, Tharun,” before walking toward the door with her phone already to her ear. Jay assumed instantly who she was calling.

He didn’t say anything. He simply went back to his place on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

---

Later that evening, Nikitha returned with grocery bags. She moved around the kitchen quietly, preparing dishes, while Jay was flodded with thoughts, he could not believe how Nikitha had thrown him before Sudagaran. Hours later, his thoughts was disturbed by nice aroma, smell of cauliflower soup and ginger chicken. The familiar smells filled the house, stirring old memories.

When dinner was ready, she gently called out, “Jay, dinner is ready.”

They sat across from each other. Jay looked at the carefully prepared food, then at her face.
“Why are you cooking something special like this?” he asked quietly. “What do you want?
 Why are you suddenly nice to me?”

Nikitha served him calmly. “I just thought of cooking something special. Nothing else.”
Jay’s voice was low but pointed. “Do you do this on purpose so that my parents will look out for a new bride for me?”

Nikitha paused, then met his eyes. “If that was my intention, instead of instigating that, I would have asked you for a divorce, we need that before looking out a bride for you.”

Jay stared at her. 

Then looking at him, Nikitha said... “As you bring up that topic… we must proceed that too as soon as possible.”

“No,” Nikitha said firmly. I don’t want anything to do with divorce right now.”
Ask me anything but not this. 

Nikitha asked "Ask you anything?
Jay looked at her and said. “Whatever you want except Divorce..”
Nikitha thought for a second and said. “Go to your village next week for the function.”

Jay’s expression hardened. “Why do you want me to get humiliated there too?”
Nikitha looked at him steadily. Think positive,  trust that something good will happen to you.

He looked like lost in deep thought investigating the new request.
Nikkitha said,  I won’t ask for divorce for some time if you do this.”

Jay was silent for a long moment, struggling to understand her intent. 
Finally, he nodded, when he realised she wont stress about divorce for sometime he said, “Then it’s a deal.”

The silence that followed was heavy. Both of them ate without looking at each other, each lost in their own thoughts — wondering how much longer this complicated dance could continue.

[heygiwriter]

Chapter 119: Slipping Truths & New Requests

---

The immediate next day was Nikitha’s turn to stay home with Jay.

From the moment she woke up, something felt different for Jay. She moved around the house with a quiet familiarity, preparing kanji with ginger, helping him wipe his face with warm water, changing his clothes with gentle care. It was almost like the old days, before the walls had gone up between them. She even started small conversations — asking how he slept, whether the pain in his elbow had reduced, reminding him to take medicines on time.


Jay noticed it all. For the first time in many days, she was being herself around him again. The cold distance had softened. She no longer avoided casual talk. But instead of relief, Jay felt a strange unease. He kept guarding himself.

Don’t give me hopes, Nikki, he thought bitterly. The irony was painful — he had once wanted to fight for her, to pull her back from Tharun. But now that she was showing closeness again, fear gripped him. What if this has some intention behind it?


During lunch, as she served him lunch, he finally spoke.

“I don’t know if I should be happy that you’re acting normal again… or fear that you have some reason behind it.”

Nikitha looked at him, spoon paused mid-air. “Why do I look strange to you now?”
Jay met her eyes, voice low but honest. “After your cold distance for so many days… after you threw me under the bus when Sudhagaran came… and now the soup, the ginger chicken, your sudden care, your new request about the village… I can’t stop doubting your intentions.”

Nikitha stared at him for a moment, then let out a soft, almost bitter laugh. 
She composed herself and said quietly, “We once agreed that ‘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 without ego.’”

She paused, her voice turning heavier.

“After recent developments… I’m not sure if we can be like that anymore. The emotions around us have complicated everything and destroyed the friendship. Like you said… we should not have loved each other. The moment I realised there was love between us… everything collapsed.”

Jay caught the word instantly. His eyes sharpened.
“So… Do you agree that we had love?”

Nikitha realised her careless slip. She looked down at her plate for a second, then said softly, “Yes… I would put it that way. If not for love, you would not have suffered like this… and I would not have either.” It's better to agree and move on. 

Jay’s heart twisted. He leaned forward slightly. “If you realise there was love… then why did you choose Tharun?”

Nikitha looked at him, but didn’t respond immediately. The question hung heavy between them. Jay urged gently, “Why do you think you are obligated to him just because you had sex? See… it’s nothing to me. All I need is you.”

Nikitha’s eyes flashed with guilt and discomfort. “Wait… wait, Jay.”

She stood up abruptly, leaving half her food untouched. “It’s not just sex. I love him. I chose him. It was way before I realised you were in love too. It’s better for us this way. 


“You know why I was cold before? Because of this. I genuinely want to continue our good friendship. I fear what if your feelings cause me discomfort that would break my friendship with you. I have no one except you till Tharun comes in. I don’t want to miss you. I still want to be in your life. I want us to be the old us — the friends before love. 

At least that phase… will it work?”

Jay smirked, but there was no humor in it — only pain and exhaustion.

“What kind of friend do you refer to, Nikitha?” His voice was quiet but sharp. “Which friend will agree to marry someone in distress? Which friend would shower all the love through sex? Which friend would get into an affair with someone, just to safeguard one? Which friend would take the blame for the disgusting letter he never wrote?”

He looked straight at her, eyes burning.

“Everything I did… not because I thought you were a friend. It’s because I thought you were my woman.”

The words landed like stones. Nikitha stood frozen for a second, unable to meet his gaze. The weight of his pain, his love, his sacrifice — it all crashed over her at once. She turned away from the table, unable to face him any longer.

She walked toward the kitchen sink, her back to him, trying to steady her breathing. The silence between them was deafening.

---

The night passed in the same quiet routine - food, care, medicine.

Nikitha moved around the house with quiet efficiency, serving Jay his dinner, reminding him to take his medicines, and adjusting the pillows behind his back so he could sit comfortably. She gave him space, speaking only when necessary, but the weight of her own words from lunch pressed heavily on her chest. Every glance at Jay’s tired face replayed the pain in his eyes when she had said she loved Tharun. The guilt was suffocating.

She wanted to talk to Tharun - to hear his calm voice, to feel his steady presence — but she stopped herself. He was already covering her workload after office hours, staying late into the night to finish reports and proposals so she could focus on Jay. Disturbing him now felt selfish.

She couldn’t sleep.

Lying beside Jay in the dim light, she stared at the ceiling, replaying the lunch conversation again and again. His pained expression. His quiet accusation. His words about which friend i refer to, the sacrifices he made.

as the words kept repeated in her ears, that's when she noticed it. 

“Which friend would take the blame for the disgusting letter he never wrote?”
Jay didn’t write it.

She had known it deep down — a quiet instinct she had ignored not because of anger, because it came from Jay's mouth. But when the same Jay utters exactly opposite way, hearing it from his own mouth, seeing the exhaustion and honesty in his eyes, made it undeniable.

I knew it. I knew it, she whispered to herself in the darkness. She realised not just Tharun, that day Jay too decided to take blame to protect her Name. Indeed at the end it was Jay whose name got damaged. 

Ever since the mirror discovery at Tharun’s apartment, a part of her had wanted to treat Jay with dignity — like the old friend he had once been. But she realised now that trying to force their friendship back to how it was would only complicate everything further, especially after how he had responded. The love, the hurt, the memories — they were all tangled too deeply.

She decided she would stay distant, but she still wanted him to have everything he deserved. She would orchestrate it from afar - making sure he was cared for, supported, and protected. Clearing his name from the letter was the first step. She couldn’t let him carry that false blame any longer.

Nikitha turned slightly on the bed, careful not to wake him. In the quiet darkness, a new resolve settled over her. She would help him. She would fix what she could. And then… she would finally let go.

But even as she made that silent promise, her heart ached with the weight of it all.

Chapter 120: The first unnoticed distraction. 

The next morning, when Sharmi arrived for her shift, Nikitha left for the office without much conversation.  As soon as she reached the office, she didn’t waste a single second. Her steps were hurried, almost urgent, as she made her way straight to Tharun’s cabin.


The moment she stepped inside, she closed the door behind her and locked it with a soft click. Without saying a word, she walked straight into Tharun’s arms and hugged him tightly, burying her face against his chest.

Tharun was caught off guard. He could feel the tension in her body — the way her fingers clutched his shirt, the slight tremble in her shoulders. Something was clearly off. He wrapped his arms around her without hesitation, one hand gently stroking her back while the other held the back of her head.

He didn’t ask anything right away. He simply held her, letting her breathe, letting her warm herself in his embrace. He could sense the emotional storm she was carrying — the weight of guilt, confusion, and exhaustion. In recent days, he had been covering a lot of her work too, staying late to finish reports so she could focus on Jay. Last night had left him drained, but the moment she walked in, all of that faded. Her needs came first.
After a long, silent minute, Nikitha finally pulled back slightly, still staying close in his arms. Her eyes were tired but determined.

“I need two things from you,” she said, voice low.
Tharun looked down at her, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “Tell me.”
“First… we should reschedule our Cochin trip.”
Tharun raised an eyebrow but didn’t interrupt.
“And the second?”

“We must find the real culprit who wrote that letter to HR.”
Tharun frowned. “Wasn’t it Jay who wrote it?”
“No,” Nikitha said firmly.

Tharun studied her face for a long moment. “What happened? Did he do some drama that you believed him. after he himself agreed he wrote it?”
Nikitha raised her hand and gently placed it over his mouth, silencing him.
“Just listen to me. I hope you trust me. Jay didn’t do this.”

Tharun removed her hand slowly, but his eyes remained locked on hers. He could see the conviction in her gaze. Something about her belief in Jay’s innocence alarmed him — not out of jealousy, but because it showed how deeply their history still ran.
He leaned back slightly, still holding her close.

“I promise I will help you,” he said sincerely. “But I demand to know the full story. Why is this so important now? Your hug tells me a huge story…what bugged you... you look distressed.”

Nikitha looked into his sincere, worried eyes. She took a deep breath.
“It’s not the place,” she whispered. “Let’s go to our home.”

Tharun let out a soft, amused chuckle. “You would shuffle me as you wish between two homes and one office. I have to work round the clock…” He teased her gently, then smiled. “Nothing is more important than what you want.”

She smiled back, the moment they entered car, Nikitha had said everything, everything including the Mirror moment. She wanted to be honest and open atleast to one heart, and she choose Tharun. But she doesn't know Mirror moment had sent a different message to him.

Thirty minutes after every story landed in his ear, they entered Tharun’s apartment. The moment the door was shut, Nikitha hugged him from behind, resting her cheek against his back. I’m sorry for hurting you,” she murmured.

Tharun turned around and pulled her into his arms. “Even if you lied about loving me to Jay… I’m happy with that lie.”

They looked at each other for a long moment. The tension, the guilt, the unspoken feelings — everything melted into a deep, sensual kiss. Their lips moved slowly at first, tender and exploratory, then with growing hunger. Tharun’s hands roamed her back, pulling her closer as the kiss turned passionate and rich with emotion. Their tongues danced, tasting each other deeply, breaths mingling in soft, needy gasps.

The wall clock that read 11:10 AM slowly turned to 12:20 PM.


Both lay naked on the bed, bodies glistening with sweat. What started as passionate quickly became intense. Tharun was on his back, breathing heavily. Nikitha had been riding him with desperate need, her hips grinding down in long, sensual strokes. But somewhere in the middle, her mind had drifted.

Even as Tharun thrust up into her, filling her completely with every powerful stroke, Nikitha’s thoughts wandered. She was distracted, The guilt twisted inside her even as pleasure coursed through her body. She moved on autopilot, her moans soft but distant, her eyes half-closed as her mind stayed with Jay.

Tharun noticed. He gripped her hips tighter and suddenly sat up, pulling her closer. In one swift motion, he flipped their positions, laying her on her back and thrusting deeper. He leaned down and captured one of her full breasts in his mouth, sucking hard before biting down on her sensitive nipple — not enough to hurt, but enough to send a sharp jolt of pleasure through her.

“Ahh—!” Nikitha gasped, her body arching violently as the bite pulled her back into the moment. The sting mixed with pleasure brought her focus crashing back to him.

Tharun smirked against her skin, biting the other breast with the same intensity, his hips never stopping their deep, rhythmic pounding. “Stay with me, baby,” he growled, voice husky. “Don’t go anywhere.”

Nikitha moaned loudly, her hands gripping his shoulders as she finally surrendered to the sensation. For the next several minutes, Tharun fucked her with raw, passionate strokes — deep, steady, and possessive. Their bodies slapped together, wet sounds filling the room as he drove into her again and again.

When he felt himself getting close, he pulled out and moved up her body. Nikitha, still breathing heavily, slid down between his legs. She rested her head on his stomach, looking up at him with hazy eyes. Tharun held his thick, throbbing cock in his hand, stroking it slowly, the swollen head glistening with her juices and his precum.

He guided it toward her mouth. “Open for me…”

Nikitha parted her lips obediently. Tharun tapped the heavy head against her tongue a few times, then slowly pushed inside. She took him in, sucking gently at first, then with more hunger as he began to stroke himself faster. Her head stayed resting on his stomach, eyes looking up at him as he fucked her mouth with his hand guiding his cock.

Tharun groaned deeply, his free hand tangling in her hair. He shook his cock gently, letting the head rub against her tongue and lips, coating them with precum. Nikitha moaned around him, the vibration sending shivers through his body. He kept stroking, faster now, the wet sounds of her mouth mixing with his heavy breathing.

Finally, with a low, guttural groan, Tharun came hard. Thick ropes of hot cum erupted into her mouth. Nikitha took every drop, swallowing as much as she could while some leaked from the corners of her lips. Tharun kept stroking himself through the orgasm, milking the last few spurts onto her tongue, watching with dark satisfaction as she took it all.



When he finally finished, he pulled back slightly, breathing hard. Nikitha lay there, head still on his stomach, lips shiny and swollen, a small trail of cum dripping down her chin.

Even though they were both still recovering, Nikitha’s mind was elsewhere. She had come here to tell him everything, to plan how to find the real culprit — but the session had consumed an hour without any progress.


Tharun noticed her distant expression. He also remember she got distracted when they were in the middle. He gently stroked her hair and asked, “You look lost, darling. What are you thinking?”

She looked at him, still catching her breath. “Nothing…”

Tharun smiled, his hand sliding down her back. His hardness hadn’t fully left. He pulled her closer into a hug and whispered teasingly, “You’re mastering the cowgirl position, huh? How about round two?”

She smiled softly, but shook her head. “No… Let’s stop here. Let’s spend our time catching the person behind this letter.”
Tharun looked at her for a moment, then kissed her deeply one last time before they both got up to get ready for the rest of the day.

Is there no one to check what they are doing in office hours…and they say they have this policy on courting….and they are doing it so openly…..lol

Looking at her with dark satisfaction…..something is cooking….

No one, both are business department, they would easily tell they went to check for new client or something, their job nature often has often travel. We had a chapter explaining roles and responsibilities. May be you guys missed it. 

And the floor they moved now has none, just two of their cabins, as from HR to other top tier rank workers moved to different building, even this was mentioned twice to thrice in old chapters.

[heygiwriter]

My bad….apologies….
Since they were doing it so openly…even after they were caught and a letter written against them….and when one of them know it that someone has spied on them…this thought came to my mind….

they locked the door and being cautious. Its not open. She cautiously ask suggest him to go to their house, just for even talks. Will show the weightage of it . quick hugs and kisses are not an issue. 

btw why do i even feed this much details

[heygiwriter]

Some on plz clarify me

"Nikkitha realized Jay's love only when she had a sexual relationship with Tharun."

"Nikkitha is trying to maintain a good relationship with Jay. She felt hurt and saddened after Jay expressed all his feelings."

"When she is with Jay, she longs for Tharun. When she is with Tharun, she longs for Jay. After Jay revealed the whole truth, she went to Tharun and had a sexual relationship with him. What kind of state of mind is this?"

Let me put it in clear words. 

Nikitha loves Jay, and she is moving towards Tharun, She had decided there is no goingback as of now. 

Scenarios: When She is with Jay.
Given the case, she is lying herself to Jay that she loves Tharun, or she pretend act cold, whenever a conversation brings out some truth or realization, she needs Tharun for emotional support. 

Scenario: She is with Tharun.

She never longed for Jay, when she is with Tharun, atleast in recent times,. First time when they had sex, she asked him to take distant to forget jay memories, but strangely it came, that was the only time. 

The second time they had, Jay memory trigger by her own words, a Dejavu, she didnt long for him, thats a wrong word, she was pushed into guilt.

The third time, she got distracted, because more than love or sex, she wanted to act quick and clear Jay's name, its not longing for Jay. 

Ever since she took decision, she was loyal to Tharun, he never made a careless touch, that brings any memories or thing that will instigae a physical need, she choose only Tharun to hug, kiss and sex. 

Very Very Basic bro.

Is finding out who the letter that important or the events that unravel during the process really determines where Nikitha's heart really lies ? Beautiful descriptive writing that doesn’t hold back. The use of sensory details made the setting feel vivid. Sorry for bringing this up again but Nikitha is kinda giving a full on Mirna vibes. Or is it i am still hungover the character. Thank you for an absolute surreal experience. You are a master weaver.

Letter is important, she needs the warm, hence she wants to please Tharun, she need it to at the moment, but the need of leter that would clear his name is important to, she is in a mindset that, she should make his life better and move on, its more of responsiblity that caught her now.
