BHAROSA KIYA THA TUTNE KE LIYE NHI.

The headline stated this in capital bold letters in the newspaper.

nobody knows who wrote this and who made someone publish this single line as a headline on the first page of the newspaper.

On a hidden place.
The newspaper first page was opened. The owner read it and thought who must have written it without writing any article on it.
It became the mystery of the town.

The next day,
Headlines were highlighted again with a new line without any article just like the last day.
But this time it stated that:

USSE UMEED HI KYUN RAKHNA HAI JAB JAANTE HAI WOH AAKHIR MEIN TUT JAAYEGI, BILKUL TUMHARE DIL KI TARAH.

On a hidden place,
The owner's pov.

Ab toh iss journalist se milna parega.

The owner's pov ends.

Third day started with a new headline which was highlighted again:

SHIKAYAT KYUN KRTE HO TUM US KHUDA SE JAB GALTI TUMHARI HOTI HAI TOH.

It was again void of any article with it.

This continued for a week everyone wondered who would be the person writing something like this and how can the newspaper publishers not stop that person do it. 

This was now became a mystery people started defaming the newspaper publishers. They started spreading negativity towards the publishers, the article writers through posting tweets in their social media stating that: 

The publishers and the article writers of "ARWAT" are posting headlines without any article. This is currently bugging the whole society and collapsing the teenagers thinking capacity. We request our citizens and our respected government to help us in the procedure of banning this publishers.

Thankyou!

In a newspaper department:

A man was seen shouting at his employees, " who is doing this? Can I know?"                   
Everyone flinched at his tone and looked for the said culprit. Every article writer was immideately called to report in ARWAT's  main office with their one weeks article. Soon they arrived with the said articles with them. The employees was asked to match their articles with the said newspapers.

The evening came but the culprit was not found. The owner of the  ARWAT was quite tensed as every article written by his trusted article writers was not in the deed. Their articles was not matched.

Seeing everyone in distress, a timid and naive girl, who didn't spoke a word till now finally said in her soft yet honey like voice.

"sir I am sorry."

All the heads was snapped towards her and the only expression stuck on everyone's face was shock. The colleagues of her was scared of what their owner will say to her as she was one of the best out of them and never in her 5 years job she ever came face to face with the owner.

"Sir I am sorry. I am the culprit of the deed."
She accepted it while fidgeting with her fingers and biting her lips nervously. Anyone can tell how scared she was through her face yet she accepted the crime. Yes a crime, a crime of bothering citizens.

A loud voice boomed in the hall.
"Fired!!"
The girl hung her head low and stood rooted on her place. The voice belonged to the owner who just fired her few seconds ago. She threatened her tears to not flow down her cheeks making it go red like cherries.
She thought she should explain why she wrote like that but neither the manager nor the owner asked about it. So, she stood their silently.

"Can't you hear? Pretty girl. I said you to go out of this department right now. You are no more a employee here."

A sob left her mouth she quickly pressed her hands and tried to calm herself. She couldn't believe just her one line headlines would be the only reason of the whole chaos, and will be the reason for her to get jobless.
She thought for a while to go and request to the owner but looking at the owner all the courage she gathered in those few minutes vanished. She took baby steps and disappeared in her cabin and then hastily packed her stuff. One of her colleague came to her and asked her,
"Why did you wrote like this and published?"
She looked up with her bloodshot red eyes, rosy cheeks and her nose was red as well. She was looking super cute but the tears was still flowing through her eyes. She didn't spoke a single word and continued doing her work. Her colleague pulled her harshly making her leave her things then and there and asked in high pitched tone.

"Why did you published something like that without informing us? What do you think yourself huh! Owner of this THE ARWAT's or what ? The owner did the right thing by firing you. You cheap girl!"

She wiggled in her hold and pushed her colleague and freed herself from her grip and ran out after taking her purse and the journey to the main door begun. She looked at the floor the whole way from her cabin till the main gate, she could feel some penetrating, hurtful and accusive gaze thrown on her and some gazes of disappointment and sympathy.
As soon as she took a step out of the department she hailed a cab though she had enough money to atleast survive for a month. Her savings which she thought to spend on her little sister's studies are now going to help her for a month. It was just a week before when she lost her only family, her little sister. Not a single soul asked her why did she wrote something like that. What she was going through. No one knew. This world was always cruel to her but she always was thankful to her Almighty to give her a life and a little job by which she can fill hers and her sister's stomach. Her sister was her life but since the day she left her. Every bit of her died then and their but she didn't gave up on life and survived. She knew giving up on life wasn't the thing to do. Though a day after her sister's demise she felt someone following her wherever she goes, she felt her every movements were being watched by someone. She was feeling uncomfortable in her own home. Which wasn't seemed home anymore to her it was just the four walls which once was called as her home. Now it is just nothing but four trapping walls.
Soon she reached her destination. She paid the taxi fare and settled inside her home, she got freshen up and arranged her clothes perfectly in their places. Soon the sky was wrapped itself in the blanket of darkness. The moment for her which was never bearable. The she laid on the bed and the streams started flowing through her eyes, she refrained herself from screaming but the tears uncontrollably falled soon she passed out while crying.

Midnight.

Mumma, mumma please don't leave me. Please. I will be your good girl mumma. See Shelby wants you mumma. Don't go.

Mumma.

A little five year old girl was seen holding a small baby girl close to her chest so the baby didn't fall. The two girls were crying. The baby girl was screaming. But the lady left. The little five year child went to the man who stood there looking at the scenario leaned towards his daughter and engulfed them in the fatherly embrace.

Dadda mumma left me and Shelby. You won't leave us na.

The five year child looked at her father with her doe-almond shaped honey brown eyes which was completely filled with tears and was continuously sniffing. The man stood up and fixed his dress properly and left the two child there on the streets.

Dadda. Dadda don't go. Dadda.

The girl sat on her knees and broke down completely. An old lady who was passing by witnessed the scenario and came towards the girl.

Baby, shh don't cry!
Seeing the tender five year old little girl calming her little sis overwhelmed her heart she just went to them and hugged them closed to her heart and whispered,
You both will stay with me. I will raise you up, my child.

The girl smiled heartfully and looked towards the old lady.
Old lady: Hey my child, I am Evalin Salvatore. What's your name?
Five year: Hey Evani Savore. I am Rosalind Arthur.
Old lady: Hey rose. What's the name of the baby and who is she to you?
Rosalind: Her name is Shelby Arthur. She is my baby. My little sissy. My everything. You know Evani when I was three my mumma she born and mumma used to give her more time and I always used to complain mumma that why you don't spend much time with me then you know dadda my Fye always came to my side and crasses my hair and said he will always be my saviour and he will always stay by my side.

Tears brimmed her eyes and she started sobbing uncontrollably. The old lady got confused why the girl started crying all of a sudden she asked her but got no response her sobs turned louder and hearing her Shelby started crying the old lady took Shelby in her arms and calmed the baby down. She tried to make Rosalind stop from crying but it was seeming to be impossible but soon she stopped crying. Evalin took them to her house and introduced those child to her son, Armour Salvatore and daughter-in-law, Amber Salvatore and also made Rosalind met with her only grandchild Asher Salvatore, who was only 7 years old. Rosalind Asher became good friends in a very short period of time.

18 years after,

Amber: Rose baby come down. Today Asher would come after 5 years from London. And you know he would be asking for you as soon as he enter the home.

Rosalind: Sorry Ambi aunty. I wouldn't be able to come right now. I would try to come by 5pm. Tell him that I am busy and yeah aunty mah baby is with me.
She cutted the call and again drained herself in the work she was doing. Her heartbeat became frantic listening about Asher.
Yeah she was in love with Asher when she was just 10 she realised her feelings and she somewhere hoped he loved her back. She couldn't thank Evani enough to make her meet with her love of life. Though Evani passed away two years ago that day was the worst day ever in the whole Salvatore house. Everyone was mourning on her death but Evalin's grandson couldn't come to her last day even. Though they video called him but still he missed his granny a lot.
Someone came from behind of Rose and closed her eyes and came closer to her ears and whispered.
Guess who is here?
Rose: Mi Amoré.

Asher: Rose baby what are you saying?
Rose: the truth Ash. I love you Ash. From the day I met you. I was deniably in love with you. I know it is too soon to confess about love but I think it is too late as I realised it when I was just 10 and you 13. You know the way you care for me, the way you adore me, the way you encourage me , the way you save me from every difficulties, the way you support me everytime I was sad. From my saddest of days to the happiest of it I find you by my side, my love. I can't imagine my life without you. I thought of a perfect proposal and a speech but I couldn't delay any longer my love. I was thinking of telling this to you at your home infront of everyone but my love you should know it First that your baby, your rose is deeply, madly and unconditionally in love with her Ash and I am yours, my love. Just yours. I love you, Asher Salvatore. Will you be my boyfriend for time being?

Asher was too stunned to speak. Never in his life he thought of getting a proposal from his Rose. He always maintained a safe distance from her because he never wanted to make her fall in love with him but the thing from which he was scared was already done. Now he was thinking how would he say that he is already in love with someone else. He already look someone else the way she looks at him. He can't be hers. How would he say? How can he break her tender heart? How can he? He looked towards Rosalind and found the tears brimming in her eyes. He knew if not today then it would be never. He need to tell her the truth.

Asher: Rosalind.. sorry but I don't love you.
She stood there dumbstruck and soon she composed herself as she saw him fidgeting with his fingers looking at her nervously which meant he has more to say.
Rosalind: do you love someone?
As if reading his mind clearly.
Her question made Asher shock but still he replied.
Asher: yeah in London I came across with Jane pearl. My Barbie. She became the world to me. We met in the college first year and since the day my eyes landed on her it never recovered from the disease named love. Since then I fall madly and deeply in the disease called love with my precious Angel.
Rosalind wiped her tears and a smile etched on her lips she couldn't think that love could be so pure. Though she didn't got her love in return but she was happy that Asher got his love of the life.
Rosalind: won't you introduce her to me?
Asher: yeah today evening she would be coming home be there.
Saying this Asher left. Breaking million pieces of the little girl's heart. Crushing it underneath his feet. She knew it was her mistake to think that he love her back. It was her wrong assumption. She fixed her composure and went to her rented apartment where she stayed with her sister. After she turned 18 she requested her Evani to let her work as she can be the burden on her and her Armour uncle. She got her dadda and mumma in Armour and Amber and they both got two daughters in form of these angels. Asher got two sisters and Rosalind got her love of the life whereas Shelby got her world's bestest Er. Yeah she called Asher as Er as since she was small she couldn't pronounce is his name properly she started calling him Er and he nevermind it a bit and she still call him that and he just laugh it off.
Rose got ready along with Shelby.
At sharp 5pm they reached Salvatore mansion.
Yup a mansion built by our Asher. He is a top class businessman of Los Angeles. And our little Rosalind is a well known journalist in ARWAT'S.

Rosalind setted her foot on the main gate of the mansion and she noticed a blonde haired girl looking etheral was standing just beside her Asher. She smiled and held Shelby hands and went inside.
Shelby: I am home. Amy where are you see who is here.

Amber: oh my baby is my finally here. Why don't you both stay with us ..ugh I miss you both so much.

She engulfed both of them in a motherly hug and patted their heads. After backing off she asked both of them to settle down and soon she came with their favourite pancakes for which Shelby gifted her with cheek kisses and she giggled in return. Armour who just entered his house saw this.
Armour: you naughty girl. Leave my wife. Find yourself someone to do all these lovey dovey stuffs.

Crimson hue spread on Shelby's cheeks and seeing this Armour chuckled along with Amber and Rosalind. Two pair of eyes were witnessing the exchanges among them but couldn't understand how can they actually forget that their only son is standing with their soon to be daughter in law. This infuriated Asher a lot and he bursted.

Asher: mom how can you do this with me? Huh.. are they two more important to you than me? Do you love them more?
He turned towards rosalind and continued.
Rosalind I never expected this from you. You snatched away my family. They were my parents but after I left it seems they had forgotten me. Wow! Slow claps for you. How unfaithful you are huh. First you took my friendship and misunderstood it with love and then you snatched away my parents from me. You couldn't save your family that's why you came here to ruin my relations right? You couldn't see how happy I was that's why you came here to ruin it. Just because you got a rejection. How insensible are you, Miss Rosalind Arthur.

Tears falled like a rainfall from Rosalind eyes she couldn't believe he was the same Asher whom she loved with every bit of her heart.Shelby held Rosalind's arms and engulfed her in a hug. She very well know how sensitive yet strong her sister is. Armour came towards Rosalind and patted his head and whispered sweet nothing's to her tried to console her..

Rosalind's pov.

"Aaya tha videsh se mera saathi, tasavur ki saugat- e- khushi ki, pr lagta hai woh bhi mere naseeb nhi."

"Meri khushiyan tere saath hi chali gayi thi, pr tere lautne par unke wapis aane ka intezar tha, pr itna na pata tha ki woh ab kabhi lautengi hi nhi."

Rosalind's pov ends.

She held Shelby's hand and started moving towards the door. Amber tried to stop her but she didn't. She kept on walking until the main door. As soon as she reached there Amber pulled her in a motherly hug and rubbed her back and said.

Amber: you are our daughter. Rose baby don't go. Stay with us. Baby we are really sorry from Asher's side. He doesn't know what he is doing. Please baby don't go.

Asher's blood boiled after witnessing this, he growled in anger.

Asher: mom what are you doing. Let this homewrecker go. How can she thought she can snatch away my parents in front of me. Listen Miss Rosalind Arthur don't you dare to show your stupid face again in this mansion. If I saw you anywhere near the mansion then it won't be good for you and to your dear Lil sissy.
Asher purposely added Shelby in the threat, the hatred which he was showing was only towards Rosalind but he knows if he want her to stay away then he need to drag Shelby in it.
After hearing this they both left. Amber sat on her knees and cried. Armour went to her wife and tried to console her whereas Asher looked guiltily towards the door. His childhood friend left her just because of him and is girlfriend Jane was taking in all the scenario she was aware of Rosalind and Shelby but wasn't aware what relation does they both share with the Salvatore's.
She went towards Amber and scooted till her length and said.

Jane: aunt I know I am no one to speak in family matters. I am sorry from Asher's side.

Amber looked at the girl and crasses her cheeks lovingly and said.
Amber: child, you know who were they?

She shook her head in no.

Amber: They were my breathe when Asher wasn't with me. They were the one who always kept me sane when I was alone at this mansion. They were my strength. They were my angels, my daughters and this idiot son of mine just broke their hearts. I hate you Mr.Asher Salvatore. Just get out from my sight right now.

Asher never saw this much hatred in his mother eyes. He didn't blame any of the sisters because he knew what he did was wrong he just didn't wanted Rosalind to be around him so that the feelings which was erupted would die, she won't be hurt each time looking at him and Jane but he messed up big time with his mother. He could feel his father's angry gaze, he knew his father is disappointed. He just took Jane's hand and said.

Asher: let's drop you home Ja...

He was cutted off in middle with a loud shattering vase pieces he looked towards the source of noise. His eyes widen to see his father's hand covered with blood. He ran to him and tried to held his injured hand but his father jerked it off and shouted.

Armour: Just go out of my sight. You made my precious cry. My babies cry. Never show me your face again or else I don't know what will be the consequences.

Asher hunged his head low and went away. All this was witnessed by Shelby who said Rosalind to go to the apartment meanwhile she will be back after talking with Amy. Her steps were halted since her Amy shouted on her only child. She could see Asher's guilt in his eyes. His face only told how guilty he is. A loud gasp escaped her mouth which she tried to cover up when she saw Armour's hand dipped in blood. She couldn't held herself back and ran to Armour's side and brought the first-aid kit to band-aid it.

Shelby: Dad. What had you done with your hand. Please, Amy and dad don't cry for us. I am fine and about Rose I will take care of her. And Er I am very much angry with you. Don't you dare to come near my sister. If I saw you near her then you won't be able to walk.

With this she left the mansion after giving hug to Armour and Amber and a final threatening look to Asher. She left.

It's been a month since they left.
Nothing was same in Salvatore's mansion.
Armour's and Amber's only child was married to Jane the next week of that fiasco. They didn't invited the girls as per Jane's request.
Jane had been the World's best daughter in law but as Amber couldn't forget her daughter's she couldn't see Jane's efforts. This made Jane too furious. Her efforts was being neglected by both her in-laws. She couldn't take it. She talked with Asher about it. But he always shrugged it off.

The present day,
In a hidden place.

Owner's pov.
Where are you Rose baby. I didn't got a glimpse of you after that fiasco. I am missing you so much. See I made you left me but now I have nothing with me. Not even a single soul is there for me. You know after you left my mumma disowned me after six months of your disappearance, my father disowned me from the CEO's position and now I don't have anything left. Not even a single penny because what ever was left with me Jane fled with it after two years of marriage. I am not a good person. I hurted my baby so much. I am sorry angel. Only if I realised my true feelings for you back then this wouldn't have happened. This situations are nothing but my stupidity. I am sorry my life. I am sorry my love. Where are you please come back to me.

Owner's pov ends.
He tried to search for her in every nook of the country but couldn't find her. He looked at the ARWAT'S journals and found those headlines without article. The words which were used seemed familiar to him. He couldn't stop himself from investigating. He looked for her in ARWAT'S just the day after she left. He found her address and everything from the ARWAT. It was pretty easy for him to get the information as his name is enough to make people work. Though Armour disowned him but it didn't changed for the society no one knew about this quarrel. It was just hidden under the mansion in which Asher still lives. Amber passed away a year ago and Armour doesn't comes out from his room. He is shocked of his beloved's death. He couldn't help but lock himself in their room. Amber was in depression and atlast her breathe became abnormal and she finally took her last breath. They were aware of Shelby's demise which was just after 6 months of Amber's. Shelby was always the sensible and the most sensitive among the three. She couldn't hold the shock of her Amy's demise. She went in shock. She wasn't the same anymore. One day she was walking on the road carelessly and the car passed by her and the driver said her to walk on road but the stubborn girl didn't heard and the truck hitted her brutally making the little girl loose her life. This was first noticed by Asher he couldn't help but cry on her Shell's last day. He couldn't withstand when he saw her in that condition. He informed Rose about it. She was no less after hearing of that. She quickly ran to Salvatore's mansion and engulfed her sis in hug and tried to wake her up, make her talk. She was too stunned to accept the reality at last Asher couldn't see his lady love, yeah his lady love. He realised his true feelings after 4years of her leaving the mansion. He gave a light slap not to hurt her much just to make her revive from the shock. They performed her last rites and Rose disappeared in the misty weather. The water poured on Rose but she cared little about it and continued walking as soon as she reached her home which was nothing more than a haunted four walls which always make her nostalgia.

At Rosalind's apartment
A knock interrupted her thoughts. She woke up and made her look presentable and went towards the door to look at the intruder. She wasn't pleased at all after seeing the intruder. Never in her dreams she thought he would come to her again after all this. Her breath got uneven and she saw black spots in front of her eyes and a loud noise of something fallen was heard. Yeah she fainted. Asher took her in his arms and made her lay in the bed. He tried his best to make her concious. He rubbed her palms and feet to make her feel hot but it was no use her face was turning pale with each passing second and her whole body was cold as ice her pulse rate was very low. A mere whisper was heard.
I lo....love y..you ..A... Asher.
I am sorry for everything.
And with this she breathed her last in her lover's arm.
Asher couldn't understand what just happened. He tried to wake her up but it was of no use. He was devastated but after a second he noticed her body turning in the shade of blue and the white foam bubbling out of her mouth. He understood she drank poison. He couldn't help but cry for his lady love. He joined their hands and forehead and placed a small kiss on her nose and closed his eyes while muttering.

I am coming for you my love.

Two days passed.
Two bodies turned pale was seen. They both were in the same position since that day. But the difference was none of them breathe for even once. Yeah that was their end.

The next day,
Headlines was highlighted again by the ARWAT'S.

TWO LOVE BIRDS WERE FOUND DEAD IN ROSALIND SALVATORE APARTMENT.
It is hereby notified that Asher Salvatore was passing by her home and found her already taken her last breathe and he couldn't withstand with it and he died on the spot.

The picture of them together in that certain position was printed.
