Chapter 48: "Adi...How much did you remember?"

"Good evening Gentlemen and ladies...this evening I'm honored and privileged to able to stand here in front of so many socialites. It's been a while I came back from abroad, but misery is that I still have the same boss...", He sighed everyone in the hall started to laugh.

"...Not only did he came, but his temper also followed him...Anymore sentence about him, I may lose my year-end bonus.", He sincerely bowed to his boss making everyone laugh out loud.

"Jokes apart...I'm happy to be able to take the position as V.P of MEDIA SCORE....", He started to continue the speech for a few good minutes.

Soon the Host took the charge.

"I'm totally in Awe to see the great friendship between... Mr.Karan, Vice president, and Boss, Not only they've been great achievers at a young age, but also shocked the business world by making MEDIA SCORE to spread over all the world.", The host spoke.

"...This evening, I invite the Board of directors, THE TEAM HOPE, and the socialites to enjoy the gala with ease.", The host said as the party officially began.

Every year the first dance is done by Elder Mishra and Suhani, but this year now that Anan took the charge the responsibility fell on him. Onlookers were more than interested to see the handsome man join hands with the beauty on the floor.

Anan walked onto the Dance floor...yet Aditi was nowhere to be seen. Everyone started to search for her.

Anan's eyes also started to search for his little wife.

Priya who saw that Aditi was nowhere to be seen...Her heart started to beat vigorously with a small hope.

"Boss...Now that Ms.Aditi is nowhere to be seen, is it okay to replace her...?", One of the directors spoke out of concern.

"she's here...", Some from the crowd shouted.

Every one eye turned towards the girl who wore an elegant blue short prom dress...as she walked towards the podium.

"Apologies to everyone...the before the dress was not suitable for the dance floor, so I had to change to this one.", Aditi spoke as she entered the dance floor.

'I'll bear you just for today...tomorrow it will be only me who can stand beside Anan...", Priya thought as she gritted her teeth.

"You look stunning.", Stephany spoke as she helped Aditi onto the dance floor.

Anan took Aditi's hand into this as they bowed to each other... The music officially started, Everyone in the room held their breath to see the beautiful view in front of them.

Both looked like a perfect match when they paired each step. Aditi rolled and walked into Anan's arms making every girl in the hall feel jealous.

"Hubby...I'm afraid I'll be an enemy of every girl tomorrow.", She slowly whispered.

"No women can match my wife...rest assured I'll make them regret becoming your enemy.", He smiled and replied.

Karan extended his hand to Wendy as they entered the dance floor too, Rishi searched and couldn't help but extend his hands towards Sandy. Sandy didn't mind as she accepted his invitation...Few more socialites also started to join the dance floor.

Lia and Riya who were busy gritting their teeth...couldn't do anything but see the view in front of them.

'This Wendy...Once I make Karan mine, I will see your end and pay you back everything you once owed to me.', She swore.

The dance ended as Karan and Anan walked towards the socialites.

Priya walked with two wine glasses in her hand as she extended one to Anan.

"Hello Boss, I'm Director Priya...couldn't meet you earlier because I was aboard for a while. Brother why don't drink anything should I ask the waiter to get you a juice.", She knew Karan didn't drink any alcohol from the moment he returned once from abroad when he was 18.

"I don't think we are enough close for you to call me as a brother...In this world there is only one person who is eligible or has a right to call me that.", He coldly spoke as he stared at his so-called relative.

Embarrassment appeared on her face...before Priya could respond.

"Director Priya aren't you aware that Boss is allergic to alcohol?", Rishi questioned her as he stared at her.

The glass in her hand shivered.

"Apologies I didn't know.", Before she could properly say something Anan didn't even bother as he took the newly brought glass by Rishi and walked towards Director Dharma. Karan scoffed as he stared at her.

"What a pretty face...but that's all she has.", Someone from the crowd said.

"What pretty face? Didn't you see the beauty that came with Anan...after seeing her how could you call this one a pretty face.", Ben scoffed.

Rohit who was trying to meet with Aditi instantly failed as he could only keep a dark face and sip his wine.

Later the party came to end. Anan and Karan entered their respective cars and left.

Aditi was permitted to leave as she was pretty tired since morning...Wendy and Aditi left the venue as they walked into the parking area...The two handsome men who left a while back were standing under the tree as the air between them seemed odd.

Aditi sighed as she put on a smile and dragged Wendy towards them.

"Mr.Karan it was nice meeting you...If nothing we will be leaving.", She smiled as she walked towards Anan.

"Anvika...", Karan out of mind called the name out loud.

Anan's eyes darkened as he stared at Aditi whose eyes were filled with anxiousness.

"What did you call me?", She questioned him...her head seem to remember a man.

'Anvi...you are the only one for me, Anvi...let's not talk with your mom and her son.', he said as he held her dearly.

'Mr.Vastav...care about your wife first, Anvi...come let's go.', He pulled her as they ran towards the garden.

'Karan...Anvi...careful.', A woman's voice was heard as both twins smiled and looked at each other.

'Bobo...I can't run anymore.', her little self spoke.

'How many times I said not to call you that...', The small boy pinched her cheeks.

'Brother...it hurts...ah ah...', her little self spoke out in pain.

'Now will stop calling me with that damn...nickname?', The boy questioned in all seriousness.

'Bobo...you are hateful.', She hit his hands and ran away.

'Dummy...stop, don't let me catch you...' The memories stopped.

Aditi's heart started to hurt...her eyes were filled with tears.

"Bobo...", She gently whispered.

"What did you say?", Karan's eyes widened as he shivered in shock.

"Karan she's not fine we'll speak tomorrow. I'll take her.", Anan spoke as she took Aditi into the car.

"I'll leave my sister in your care.", Anan spoke...Wendy was touched, she now knew Anan regarded her as his sister.

"I wish to say the same.", Karan said as he saw the couple walking in. Karan felt unknown emotions in his mind.

Drake opened the car...Karan and Wendy entered.

After seeing him so vexed.

"Don't worry...Aditi is stronger than you think.", Wendy spoke as she stared at him.

"Can I ask you for a request?", He questioned as he saw her.

"Speak...", She agreed.

"Can I know about Aditi's life all these years?', He questioned.

"I'll tell you...but after Aditi accepts you.", She said.

"I understand...Thank you for being there for her.", Karan saw how she fought with Riya for Aditi the other day...He was filled with admiration and unknown feelings towards the woman in front of him.

"She is my friend and my family...of course I'll protect her even I have to sacrifice my life.", She spoke as she saw that she reached her apartment.

"I'll be leaving.", She said as she walked out.

After the car left...she walked into the elevator as the door closed, her legs gave in...she fell onto the floor.

'What should I do? Is this really what you call fate? god...I'm not sure, not sure...if he remembers me, not sure if the girl she spoke is me or not. Not sure...what am I going to do.', tears fell from her eyes as she wiped them and stood up.

'I have to be strong...before I know the truth, I can't be weak.', She thought as the elevator opened.

THE VILLAS.

The moment they entered the house...Aditi pounced on Anan who's closing the door.

She tip topped as she pressed her lips against his...Her tears didn't stop falling, Anan who's stuck in between Aditi and Door couldn't help but give in to his wife.

Her hands roamed overall his body as he removed his coat...Her hands touched his shirt button, she tried and tried but no matter how much she tried she couldn't unbutton his shirt.

Her lips meet with the blood...as she opened her wide to removed her lips from his and see his lower lip bleeding.

"I'm sorry...I didn't mean to.", She was shocked at how violent she was a moment ago...she felt disgusted by herself.

Anan smiled as he pulled his crying wife into his arms.

"Adi...How much did you remember?", his question shivered her.

"Just a bit...but that's enough to know my identity.", She spoke.

"I know you feel bad for Wendy and extreme guilt for her...I know it isn't easy for 2 women at age of 18 to take care of a child, I know how horrible you feel that the reason for Wendy's trauma is your own brother...Stop hurting yourself, there is only one thing I can say...from that day onwards, he didn't even dare to touch the alcohol or stopped searching for that girl...he's been living in a nightmare too. He was drugged and was not in conscious...that drink was given to him by one of his friends...he didn't expect it to have Alcohol and drug.", Anan patted her head as she spoke.

"Why Wendy...?", She questioned. Anan's eyes widened, it's like he knew something but has no intention to spill a word out.

"Adi...just know, no one can escape the fate.", He said as he pulled her out from his arms and stared at her.

He bent down as he gently pressed his lips against hers...this time it was filled with warmth and love.

"Anan...I love you...each day I will love you more.", She spoke.

Anan who was controlling himself couldn't help but lose all his self-control. Seeing her little prom dress.

"Did I say you look stunning in this dress...?", He asked as he stared at her.

"No...Why?", She giggled as she replied.

"The moment you walked onto the dance floor I wanted you to take you out that place and lock you in the bedroom for the next few good days.", He whispered in his sexy voice.

She blushed as she stared at him...His lips raised as he pressed his lips on hers and started to unzip her dress.

"Let's go up..."She spoke in a hoarse tone.

He lifted her as he walked upstairs...The moment he entered the master bedroom. Their clothes left their bodies as they were spread on the floor.

"Adi...no matter what Identity you carry...you are you to me...Anvi or Adi...you'll always be my one and only.", He said.

As her head started to dig out few memories...

'No matter what...I'll try my best to make him love me.', Her little self spoke.

'You are 10 years...what love? Dummy.", Karan spoke.

'Bobo...I love him.', She proudly said.

'I heard he's extremely cold Anvi...listen to me, he isn't the one for you.', Karan said with all seriousness.

'hmmph...you are just jealous...he's more handsome and knowledgeable than you.', She walked away as she pulled out a picture from her pocket.

"Brother Anan...I will make you mine.", She shouted at top of her lungs...she helplessly smiled as she stared at the picture like treasure.

Aditi's eyes opened wide...Anan gently kissed her neck making her feel unknown emotions.

She held his face as she stared at him eye to eye.

"Brother Anan...you are finally mine.", She said as she stared at him.

Anan's eyes widened...his memories kicked his brain.

The little girl who just fought with her brother and ran towards the garden as she shouted his name and said she will make him his...his little self who listen to the little girl couldn't help but feel his reddened ears as his heartfelt the warmth.

He stared at the woman before his eyes...his eyes were filled with warmth.

"You remember?", His hoarse voice was heard.

"Just a bit.", She pecked him as she smiled.

"There's still time...you will soon get back everything...not only your memories but also everything you've lost.", He said as he pressed his lips on hers. The session continued until midnight as Aditi was completely exhausted and fell asleep in his arms.

Early morning.

Aditi woke up as she couldn't find Anan by her side. It was the weekend. So she took the bathrobe beside the bed as she walked out of the bed.

A little letter on the table was found.

"Meeting your brother I'll be back...sleep some more Mrs.Anan. -Your Hubby.", The letter ended.

Aditi stared at the letter for few good minutes...her mind seemed to make some decisions as she walked into the washroom.

Karan's apartment.

"What do you want to know...?", Anan questioned Karan who was seating opposite to him in a private room.

"From start to end everything...How did you know her? Why wasn't I aware of it? What exactly do you mean by marrying her?", Karan spoke.

Anan stared at him...

Meanwhile.

Aditi got down from her car and entered a building...she walked into the elevator and entered the floor. The elevators door opened...and walked towards a room.

She entered the room as the door closed showed the sign..."Psychiatrist Stella."
