(Alternate Ending)

                                                                                                                     Dec 7, 2017

             This is an alternate ending, because I know how much everyone, especially me love happy endings.

              But before that, I want to thank all of you who were with me on this journey on this book. When I wrote my first book, 'Love Takes Time', 3K, 5K views on a book used to look big numbers to me, though now I know they are not.   But still , today when I see more than 22K views on my first book and 1.2 K on 'Valentines Love' that I wrote impromptu, I feel happy. Many of you who supported my that book are here too. So, thank you.

             I always feel that 'Love Takes Time', came out so beautiful. I know I am appreciating myself but that book has such pure, beautiful emotions and story that I myself feel that it's a great love story with a very good feel about it throughout. That book has slices from my real life, and at a lot of places Shanaya's and Abhimanyu's actions are my own. For that book I had references from my life at college and work, but  for this book I had no references from anywhere except the general awareness on life of musicians.  This book is total imagination.   I think ,It 's dark and complex  and very different from other one , yet very beautiful. Concert, Shooting-I, Flaunt It and Adios along with Ghosts from the Past are  my personal few favorites. Let me know which ones are yours in comments.

                      As I end this book, I have to say there were some readers I missed  a lot after I returned from break  I took in between, like Shaikhsahrish and Aarohi, who even nominated my last  two books for 'The literary Award'. And, Sarcastically whose comments  I was missing badly, surprised me by appearing on the last chapter. Thank you. Thank you for giving so much love, special mention Jabri and Sanya, and to all those who left comments and likes regularly and made me feel really really good. And those who never put any likes, thank you for taking out time to read this book.

             I would really want all the lovely readers to  care to comment on this chapter about the book, because that's what every author wants to read when the book ends. Once again thank you all for giving love and support to this book.  And let me remind you all, don't forget to click on like. Smiles.

Raina: You still awake? She asks looking in her watch leaning on the door.

Abhimanyu: You don't let me sleep. He smiles at her.

She smiles back.

Abhimanyu: You came back? He asks looking at her.

Raina: Ya! I thought, I should. She stepped in looking at the walls covered with her posters.

Abhimanyu: You are looking around as if here for the first time?

Raina: What do you mean? She turned to him.

Abhimanyu: Oh! You very well know what I mean.

Abhimanyu: So, what is it that you came back to threaten and warn me about this time. He said lighting a marijuana.

Raina: You know you are killing yourself slowly. You hated when your dad committed suicide, but what you are doing is no less than that.

Abhimanyu. Huh! He said smoking, his eyes barely able to keep  open.

Abhimanyu: Hate lectures! I wish you rather did something else in these hallucinations than just warn me.  Like, letting me have my way.

Raina: You should never get to have  your way. And I am not any hallucination. She said as she moved to the screen and picked up the glass from the table next to it and sipped water.

Abhimanyu: I don't want to see that glass falling and falling and never touching the ground ever. So, please don't drop it.

She dropped the glass and it broke into pieces with a loud sound. It jittered him out of his  hazy trance like state and got him more awake.

Abhimnyu: Are you real? How did you just walk in then? He watched her picking up glass pieces and throwing in bin.

Raina: You see the keys. She said showing him the keys, "I have the keys to your house."

Abhimanyu: How?

Raina: That I will tell you later, but now we got to go. I don't have much time. She opened the closet, got the suitcase out and started packing his clothes.

Abhimanyu: Where are we going? He asked smoking.

Raina: You are going to rehab now. I have already enrolled and made all other arrangements for your stay there.

He laughed," I am not going to any rehab."

Raina: You know, you can fuck all the women in the world for all I care, but you got to fucking get out of your this fucking retirement. She said staring him in eyes.

Abhimanyu: I haven't fucked in last four years, but you know, I can't function without these drugs. I can't leave them. He looked in her eyes.

She looked at him and swallowed down the lump formed in her throat  from what he just told her.

Raina: How do you look at the person you love and tell yourself to leave him to die?

Raina: Tell me? She asked crying.

He gulped, "You deserve better. I have truly always wanted happiness for you".

Raina: You are my happiness! If you are not there, I am not happy. You think you'll leave and I'll be happy in some part of the world. No. You'll go, but take life from inside me. Is that what you want to chose for me? Leave me living lifeless with tears forever, because once people go, there is no way we can bring them back. She cried.

He looked at her emotionally loaded just like her.

Raina: You helped me and walked me to this pedestal of name and fame. I didn't refuse your help. And now that I want to walk you out of this dark to light, you don't have an ego and refuse me.

Raina:  Hold my hand Abhimanyu. She offered her hand to him.

He held his hand. He loved her too much to chose lifelong tears for her.

Abhimanyu: I am too deep into them. I don't know if I can do this.

Raina: You were determined to make me this, and you did. I don't see  why if you are determined to quit your addiction, you wouldn't be.

                 They traveled in the taxi she hired from the airport to drive them to the international luxury de-addiction center located in the midst  of tranquil mountains of a hill station outside Mumbai. He fell asleep in the car and when they reached the center it was breaking dawn. The driver got out the car to stretch leaving them in. 

She woke him,"Hey! We reached".

"Am I dreaming? Am I hallucinating?" he asked opening his eyes on her.

"No, you are not. Let's go in and see your new home for next six months or may be more," she smiled at him.

"Hah! Do I really have to go?"he groaned.

"Ya, because if you don't go, I will forget all about non-violence. And won't mind doing practicals to show why we should practice only non-violence."

He laughed, "I think I would like to go without any practicals on me."

She smiled.

                                                           ***

            He had his own private deluxe room overlooking swimming pool with landscape gardens. The rehab was gated with high boundary walls surrounding it. Spread across acres of land, it was equipped with world class meditation and yoga hall, dining hall, swimming pool, library, recreation hall with TV and tables to play pool and tennis.  There were big ground where some patients sometimes played football or cricket.

             Rehab believed in total abstinence. No visitors, no phones. Only one computer with access to only gmail. Every patient had half an hour time allotted once in a week to mail. In case of any urgency their family could call in office or mail to authorities. TV with only cartoon channels. News headlines of the day were posted on notice board. The aim was to keep people away from negativity and not let them be on their own with internet, phone, tv etc.

He mailed to Sahil  and her in his time he got once in a week. They kept in touch via e-mails.

She read his mail while busy on her tour,

Hi Raina,

          I think I am in a boarding school again :). There are those terrible withdrawal moments in a day, but entire day isn't that bad. Morning starts with meditation and yoga in a group and it really improves how you feel throughout the day. There is nothing much to do on own as I am not really into sports, though sometimes I go and take a dip in pool. TV is disaster with cartoons like Dora and Chhota Bheem playing most of the day. Only 'Family guy' and 'Simpsons' are age appropriate :). Evenings are fine. Quite a few and elderly people gather in recreation to hear me sing and play my guitar and I love doing that. That's all about me. Howz your tour going? Though not a question I don't know answer of, but still.

Take care,

Abhimanyu

She smiled and  wrote a reply to him.

Hi Abhimanyu,

It' always feels so good to read from you. I love learning what all you did in a day and how your day went. I am on the road and busy. Shows going on well. Just finished in Manchester and tomorrow I have performance in Stockholm, and good and bad memories filling in me :). Hope we can put every bad time past us and start afresh. Those cartoons are not just age appropriate but only cartoons you'll find appropriate for yourself :). Count me in those people who love to hear you sing and play guitar.

Looking forward to your reply.

Love

Raina

                    They mailed each other but all they wrote about was where and what abouts of themselves. There was no lovey dovey talk, no I love you. Even when she dropped some hints, he chose not to pick them. His six months got over and they felt he was good enough to be an outpatient now. He didn't inform Sahil or Raina about it. Sahil was busy shooting his film and Raina was busy recording her album in LA. He didn't want to disturb them in their work with all the news that he was going to be out on so and so.

                                                                                  ***

As he walked out the gate with his suitcase wheeling behind, he saw Raina smiling at him standing next to a black SUV. 

Smiling at her, he walked to her.

" You look good" she told him smiling, her eyes tinkling.

" Ya! Back to health" he replied.

"What is this?" he asked looking at the bouquet of red gerberas in her hands.

"This is for you," she said handing the bouquet to him." I don't know what you like, so I got for you something I like". 

 She smiled and he smiled remembering  telling her exactly that while gifting her pen.

"Thank you for the lovely flowers." He took them.

"I wasn't expecting you, I thought you were in LA busy doing important things," he said.

"I was, but this is also very important to me." 

 He looked at her and she continued," I don't know if you'll ever be able to wade across and say those words to me, so I think I only will have to do this".

"I love you Abhimanyu. Will you marry me?" She looked in his eyes.

He looked in her eyes and after a moment of still, " You know Raina, I don't believe in marriage."

" Why? Because your mom left your dad who loved her a lot. I am not your mom Abhimanyu! I love you so much that I can never leave you and go."

Abhimanyu: I don't know if this treatment will stick or relapse. What if it doesn't stick and I get back to doing things again.

Raina: I will take my chances.

Abhimanyu:  I am thirty. Why don't you marry some guy your age?

Raina: Guys my age don't know how to love me. She smiled at him as she joked.

Abhimanyu: I bet, they don't,". he smiled  back at her as he blushed.

Abhimanyu:  Don't you think it's too early for you  to get married? I mean you have a career.

Raina:  I can have a career while married and why should I not marry? I am not looking for convenience to be able to easily walk out of it whenever I feel like. I am sticking to you in all weathers.

"Will you marry me?" she popped the question again.

"I'll be a fool to let you go. So, let me do this," he said keeping the flowers on top of his suitcase.

Abhimanyu:  You are the green in my blues, you are the light in my moon, you are the oasis in my desert, and you are the calm in my storm. I am this leaf of the fall that lay on the ground. Do you accept me to marry you?

 Raina: I love this beautiful leaf of fall more than leaves on trees in any other seasons. As far as lying in the ground, it's a matter of wind that it will be soaring, and even if not, I still love it.

 Abhimanyu:  That was one bad proposal. Did you like it?

She nodded looking confused.

 Abhimanyu: I thought you would, with nature and all.  But now, can I  do it my way?

Raina: I am curious how that would be. She said smiling.

He looked deep in her eyes, " You drive me crazy. You drive me wild. So, if you don't mind, can I stay inside and swim in your divine all my this life and beyond. I love you, Raina. Will you marry me?"

"Horny", she murmured and he laughed.

 "Yes, I will marry you. I want to marry you," she said.

"Can I kiss my bride now?" his eyes tinkled.

She looked towards the guard at the gate looking at them.

He turned to see. He took off his jacket and held it over their heads and they kissed, once, twice and few more times.

                                                         ***

           They got into the SUV after he let go the taxi that came to pick him. She took behind the wheel.

"I can't wait to get home. Though this SUV is not bad either," he said looking the insides of SUV. She just smiled.

"Well, when you get tired. Let me know. I can drive," he told her.

"What kind of marriage  wouldyou like?" she asked him.

" Well, you know I don't really believe in marriage, but now that I am getting married. I would really like it to be very simple".

Raina: I thought so. We will drive to court before home to get a date for our marriage. Sounds good?

 Abhimanyu: Court marriage? Perfect!

 Abhimanyu: Where do you want to go on honeymoon?

She blushed," Wherever you take me."

"Surprise me," she smiled.

"Hmmmm," he smiled back at her.

After a while, he said "You know it's good that you are driving, I don't have to keep my eyes on road. I can keep them on you." She smiled blushing.

"Want to hear some music?" she asked.

"Yeah, haven't heard new releases in six months."

 "Here take my phone", she threw it to him

"So, what are you going to play for me?" she asked playfully.

"Let me check the new hits," he said. " Slow Hands, this seems like good one since you like my hands so much all over you. This is for you". It played,

We should take this back to my place
That's what she said right to my face
'Cause I want you bad, yeah, I want you, baby
I've been thinking 'bout it all day
And I hope you feel the same way, yeah
'Cause I want you bad, yeah, I want you, baby  

Slow, slow hands
Like sweat dripping down our dirty laundry
No, no chance
That I'm leaving here without you on me
I, I know, yeah, I already know that there ain't no stopping
Your plans and those slow hands
Slow hands

I just wanna take my time
We could do this, baby, all night, yeah
'Cause I want you bad

Fingertips putting on a show
Got me now and I can't say "No"
Wanna be with you all alone
Take me home, take me home
Fingertips putting on a show
Can't you tell that I want you, baby, yeah

Slow hands
Slow hands

" Why do horny songs always peak to top? It's at one on a lot of charts, you know," she informed him.  "This sounds like something you'll write," she smiled at him.

"Oh really?" he expressed surprise, and smiled as the song written by him played. Since, he had lot of time in rehab with perfect environment to write, he wrote quite a few songs and mailed them to Mike which were all taken. He then played 'Until You', another song written by him.

Baby life was good to me
But you just made it better
I love the way you stand by me
Through any kind of weather
I don't wanna run away
Just wanna make your day
When you feel the world is on your shoulders
Don't wanna make it worse
Just wanna make us work
Baby tell me I will do whatever 

It feels like nobody ever knew me until you knew me
Feels like nobody ever loved me until you loved me
Feels like nobody ever touched me until you touched me
Baby nobody, nobody, until you

Baby it just took one hit of you now I'm addicted
You never know what's missing
Till you get everything you need, yeah
I don't wanna run away
Just wanna make your day 

See it was enough to know
If I ever let you go
I would be no one
Cause I never thought I'd feel
All the things you made me feel

 Nobody, nobody, until you  

Raina: I like this song.

Abhimanyu: Does it sound like I must have written it?

Raina: Hmmm.. doesn't sound like you but after hearing your songs you cut for in that USB,may be.

Abhimanyu: What? You got that  USB with my songs?

Raina: Ya , now please don't kill Sahil. She pleaded him.

Abhimanyu: Okay, just because you are saying.

Raina:  I just finished singing all those songs  for my next album, with credits to you for the song lyrics.

Abhimanyu: Really? 

Raina: Yep! You said I can use them.

Abhimanyu: Of course!

                                                                   ***

               After the court, they reached home early afternoon. 

"I want to show you something," she pulled him to the terrace from the common door. It had pots and pots of green plants  and beautiful  bright flowers of spring.

'It was indeed arrival of spring in his life'  he thought.

"Don't let them dry this time," he told her.

"I never will."

"Are you sure you want to live here after your marriage? he asked her  wondering if she would like to move into a bigger house."

" Home is where heart is, and I know  your heart is in this house  ,and my heart is in your heart. This house is perfect for us. I wouldn't need a house bigger than this. We are never moving out of this house," he looked at her lovingly as she told him.

  They walked inside the house and she turned towards his bedroom with him following her.

"Finally," he murmured looking up.

"Did you say something?" she asked.

"Nopes," he said as they entered his bedroom.

"What?" He screamed. "Where is is the bed?"

"We are getting a new one . I don't want you to be remember all those women."

"That hard disk crashed long time back . I don't remember any. I remember only you ."  Advancing towards her, he cornered her to wall. Nibbling  her neck, eating her lips, his hands headed towards her breasts. She picked his hand and moved away. His hands started slithering down the back of her waist to her buns. She picked his hands, and moved away.

"Is something wrong?" he asked breaking from the kiss, looking in her eyes.

"I want us to wait until our marriage to do this? Can you wait until then?

He looked into her eyes.

" I want you to know that we are married. I want you to know the difference."

" Where I have waited so many years, what are three more days? I can wait. But once we are married, I won't stop," He said looking in her eyes, and then his eyes slid to her lips and she looked down as her body heat up and cheek turn red on hearing that.

" My catholic virgin girl," he said breaking the sexually tensed moment." Want to go out for lunch?"

She looked at his handsome face and nodded blushing. "After lunch, I have to go home, but I'll come tomorrow and we can spend time together".

"I don't think it's a good idea especially when you want me to keep my hands off you. You know with just two of us here, things might just go there. You spend time with your family, because after that you anyways have to spend all the time with me. Uhum?" She nodded.

                                                          ***

          Three days later, they got married in a court in the presence of her family and Sahil's family as witnesses. He was happy that her family didn't beat him up like they did in his dreams.

          He flew her to Tanzania the same day for their honeymoon, destination she came to know only at the airport. "You have explored enough of other continents on your tours, so I thought Africa will be good since you love nature  and animals," he told her.

           After they were in their Four Seasons terrace suite , like he said, he didn't stop. He bathed her body in his kisses and their lips, hands and bodies went slipping and sliding in each other in the sensations of pleasure. For two days, they stayed in bed doing what lovers do on honeymoon, making love day and night and going out only for meals to the hotel's restaurant.  They enjoyed views of elephants, giraffes, zebras and deers from their room and terrace overlooking animal hole.

          Third day, they went out on a safari tour to see animals up and close in. Rest  of the days there, they went out exploring local cuisine and lifestyle and  had  hot bangin' sex on return to room. They had a great time dancing with tribes by fire. As he played their drums and tribes danced., she watched him all smitten. She realized how she was always smitten by him from the first sight itself, but never did she think that he'll be her husband one day, and so much in love with her.

            After a safari week  in Tanzania, they flew to Zanzibar Island for a week  of sun 'n' sand.  They took long walks along the shore, rolled on the private white sandy beech and  went all adventurous with diving and snorkeling.  He even kissed her under water with colorful fish swimming around.

                  They returned home after what felt like a dream. She had the time of her life with the love of her life.

                                                                        ***

(Glimpses from their married life)

          She traveled to LA  on few days of work here and there to finish and release her album for which she wrote a new song " That's the way it is'. She took a break from music  to be with her husband, and do what she always wanted to, work for the upliftment of poor and bring a change in their lives . With the help of her builder brother, she got rows of houses made for poor with better amenities at affordable rent in the outskirts but fast connectivity with the city.

         Abhimanyu produced a film for Sahil , for which he gave the music, the film was declared a hit. He turned creative producer for few talent shows and kids quiz which encouraged participation from government school with monetary awards for the winning kids, their subject teacher and their school. In two years of marriage, their son was born the year Abhimanyu won awards at several international festival for a musical film produced and directed by him. He had offers from Hollywood to give background score and soundtrack music in films. He agreed to an offer from Oscar winning director and two years down when the movie released he won the Academy Award for Best Original Music Score, the event he attended with his very famous wife who felt just so proud of him. She always knew he has it in him. He knew the steps of the ladder to where he wanted to reach.

                                                      ***

             As he kissed her all over with their two year old son sleeping next to them,

[they talk in whispers]

Raina: What if Ryan wakes up?

Abhimanyu: He is deep asleep. He is not going to.

Abhimanyu: You know I think it's time we have a daughter. Only she can now bring your dreams of becoming IAS true, because this guy is inclined to music just like me.

Raina: I know, he loves music. She smiled in his ears as he nibbled on her neck after collapsing on her.

Abhimanyu: I want to do something else now, other than music. He said as he positioned next to her

Raina: What?.

Abhimanyu: I want to write a book. Howz your work going?

Raina: It's very satisfying to bring smiles on the faces of people, but I am thinking of releasing a single too. I have written a song ' Power of Love'. You'll like it.

Abhimanyu: Hmmm.. he said as he drifted to sleep.

They were blessed with a baby girl ten months later who they named Ananya.

***

            He walked in the kitchen and put his arm around under her breasts from behind. Pressing them a bit and smiling he kissed her on cheeks," Sorry, for disturbing you in your sleep last night."

"I love it when you disturb like that. Howz your book coming up?"

" It's almost over. The editor from the publication house gonna edit before publication." He said still holding her from behind and kissing her as she turned the omelet in the pan.

" I am gonna make up for all the lost time. Thank you for giving me so much space and never complaining."

" I love all these new curves that our kids have given you," He kissed her on lips.

" Daddy, I can see you kissing mommy"

" Let go off me. What will Ryan think," Raina pushes him.

" Let him see. Unlike me, he will know what love looks like and how much daddy loves his mommy," he said and walked to dining.

" Where is your baby sister? He asked  Ryan sitting next to him for breakfast."

" You know how much Ananya sleeps in a day, daddy. It's like she is always sleeping."

" I don't know when will she hear her big brother play piano.  Ryan quipped.

He laughed, "she will very soon, but until then I can hear you play piano."

"You will? But you are always so busy," he complained.

"I can always take out time to hear you," he assured.

Her heart always filled when she watched them talk, and whenever she watched him hold their baby girl so warmly in his arms. She believed there could never be more beautiful sights for a woman than see her loving husband in such adorable moments with kids

                                       ***

            His book "Beats from the Heart of a Musician" went on to become best seller in India.It made it in the list  of best sellers in New York Times on some weeks. Translated in many languages spoken in european countries, it became one of the most loved books of critics and readers alike. He was invited  to talk at India Today Conclave and acclaimed journalist Prajdeep Sardesai interviewed him.

         "He is an Oscar winner music composer,song writer, producer, director, and an ex model. He has won an Oscar and recently he turned a writer with the best seller of the year. Reading through this book without shedding a tear or two is a challenge. The words in his book flow like his music. Please welcome the very good looking and multi talented Abhimanyu Singh," Prajdeep Sardesai introduced him to the audience.

He smiled at the audience as he took seat next to him.

Prajdeep: Your book is the best seller across the countries with amazing reviews and is seen as a strong contender for Pulitzer. Do you always aim that highest reward when you start on any work?

Abhimanyu: I never wrote this book with that ambition. But, now that you are saying, Pulitzer wouldn't be bad at all. He joked.

Prajdeep: This book is so honest that it instantly wraps you in it's emotions and gives you feels and jitters of getting caught in the web of substance and other addictions. How were inspired to write this book?

Abhimanyu: It's a memoir of my experiences and my fellow mates from the rehab. It doesn't divulge telling rights or wrongs. It just takes you through a journey and states the things as they are in an engaging way, and you anyways realize that it's the worst place to be in, and in reality there is nothing cool about the thug culture and substance use as songs like 'Rockstar' and others glamorize it to be which sadly youth instantly laps up. If your life is as interesting as a movie then your life is not good.

Prajdeep: You talk in book about your most horrible incidence of seeing yourself in mirror while having visual hallucination and completely freaking out. How did you not quit after something like that.

Abhimanyu: "That's what addiction does to you. You quit looking in mirror, but you don't quit the thing". He said in a humorous tone.

Prajdeep: You talked about everything without giving the story of tragedy and love that changed things from one another. You passed through it detailing your feelings making it an intriguing read.

Abhimanyu: This book is not my biography. He smiled as he joked. Audience smiled too.

Prajdeep:  You have a great body of work  even when you were not quite known. Is it true that you hated publicity?

Abhimanyu:  Ya, I avoided it like a plague. Even, now I do.

Prajdeep:  So, what brings you here.

Abhimanyu: I think this book needs to be visible and read by more people.

You are a very private person, but we would like to touch upon your personal life a bit.

Prajdeep: Define Love

Abhimanyu: My wife.

Prajdeep: For all those who don't know. Is global popstar Raina Shinde your wife?

Abhimanyu: Ya, I'm that lucky. He smiled blushing and the audience smiled and blushed with him.

Prajdeep: She said in an interview that you are the only man she had ever been with in her life. What do you have to say?

Abhimanyu: I wish I could say the same, but unfortunately I cannot.

Prajdeep: You have a reputation of being a playboy before your marriage. Many women have claimed that, and it's suggested in your own book. What do you have to say on that?

Abhimanyu: I wouldn't really call myself a playboy, but yeah I had sex with many women I don't even remember. So, their claims must be right, but all I can say is love can change you.

Prajdeep: Now you have two lovely kids. How is it to be a family fan?

Abhimanyu: Honestly, growing up I never knew what family or family love is like. My parents were divorced and all my life I was in a hostel. I never believed in a family and never thought I would have one, one day. But now that I have, I don't think there is anything more beautiful than a loving family.

Prajdeep: Any questions from audience?

guy from audience: I loved your book, but it left me yearning to know your life story as book gives only glimpses of it in coated language and never specifically tells it, leaving it open to your own varied interpretation of what it would have been.

Abhimanyu: I agree, it's not a story of my life. But it's my feelings, thoughts, different emotions that a druggie experiences, be it about life, be about sex and their art. It's an attempt to tell that you must always love yourself........ In the hardest moments of life, when you want to lose yourself, there aren't only bad things you can lose yourself to, but good things too. You can choose to be consumed by drugs and drown yourself in it or you can choose to be consumed by something good and rise. There are people who love you,  your kids, your parents. You don't have the right to take away the life they gave you. 'My life, my choice',  an easy phrase to put an end  to any discussion, but question the end it's leading to.' Choose life, no matter what. It's beautiful' is what it's basically trying to say.

guy from audience: I want to know how you keep yourself so fit when you are busy writing such a nice book and doing consuming activities like creating music.

Abhimanyu smiled and then blushed,"I think my wife would kill me if I tell that". All the faces in audience lit with wide smiles.

girl from audience: You have an Oscar, may be you'll get Pulitzer, what next?

Abhimanyu: Spending time with my family. I am thankful to my wife for being so supportive and for allowing me to be on my own whenever I wanted which was a lot of times when I was writing this book. I don't think there are any words I can use to thank her. So, I just want to love her.

Every body clapped as it got over.

Raina came to pick him from the venue, and as they drove in the car and passed by crosswords, she saw his book with the famous writers books in the bestsellers, on display at the window.

Raina: You added another feather to your hat.

Abhimanyu: You are the feather in my hat.

Abhimanyu: Well, still not as many as in yours. I think you must thank your songwriter for adding so many so early on.

Raina: Thank Mike? I want to kill him for giving me such a horny and raunchy image.

           'That's why some secrets should always remain secrets' .He never told her that he wrote those songs for her. He still indulged in ghostwriting here and there. Some habits never die and it's altogether a different high when your song plays at number one and no one knows it's yours, except you.
