So finally as planned Zan and Anil came down to Maya’s house for a small get-together on 3rd March before Zan left for home on 6th March.
Anil had always been an introvert and Zan an extrovert. Although they were having a good time, talking and laughing, Maya couldn’t help but notice that whenever she got too busy talking with Anil, Zan’s expression changed.
Anil recently had broken up with his girlfriend Sana after his birthday party, as he got to know that Sana was cheating on him but he didn’t look sad, he looked worried.
Spoiler Alert: Next Update will be from the point of view of Z and that too in his words!
Maya was observing everything. All of a sudden Z excused himself for the washroom when Anil held Maya’s hand and pulled her closer and whispered in her ear, “Zan’s wedding is fixed. It’s an arranged marriage.”
For a moment Maya felt like everything is broken, shattered.
When Zan returned from the washroom she asked him if his mother was planning his wedding, he had a smug look on his face as he replied, “Only my mother can find an ideal partner for me. She knows what’s better for me”.
“I have work tomorrow, I think you guys should leave now”, Maya said in a polite yet firm tone.
Previously on The Chronicles of Maya: In The Hope of Yes
Anil looked at Maya and understood that it would be better if he didn’t say anything. He simply stood up, yet Z tried to ask her if she was feeling sick. Maya continued with her work excuse.
Z didn’t know what to say, so he left with Anil. When they left Maya broke down yet she made herself understand that it was for her own good…
You can read the previous chapters here: The Chronicles of Maya
As Z and Anil walked towards Z’s apartment, which was only a block away from Maya’s, a tear fell from Z’s eye and Anil’s heart sank.
They didn’t say a word to each other all the way.
to be continued…..
Was it a lie that Anil and Z said to Maya? Will Maya ever get to know that Z was hurt too?

Turning it to be more and more suspicious. Why will they lie to Maya and why not? Yes would like to know about Zan too.
This story is getting interesting with every chapter. I don’t want to imagine what will happen. I want your to tell. How do you manage to leave each chapter at such a turn….
I am so suspicious, I need to know more!
wow love this story get really interesting each episode and waiting for next! Thanks for sharing with us.
The more I read you, the more I can’t wait to continue traveling in this emotion and story that makes me reflect more and more …
Your writing is great. I have read a few chapters and am looking forward to the next instalment.
I am certainly curious on what will happen next. This is such an intriguing story.
Oh well!! I definitely didn’t see this coming.But I don’t think they lied. Why would they? For what purpose? If Zan didn’t confirm it, it’d be understandable. But he did. I don’t know what to think.
Poor Maya. Her heart can’t take anymore from this guy and she needs to forget about him
Thanks for sharing! I am suspicious as well!
He had a smug look on his face when she asked, as it may have been a lie? If it WAS a lie, and he went along with it, then I officially hate Z and hope Maya chooses not to be with him if there is no arranged marriage after all.
This is maybe my fourth time tuning into this story, and it gets more and more interesting every time I come back. I hope that you keep writing this for for a long time at least a while, it’s a nice story to read. Thanks for posting!
No guesses this time, just waiting for the next twist and turns of the story.
Loving the details of the story. It makes one not to stop reading when you begin
The Chronicles of Maya are getting more and more interesting! Can’t wait for the following chapters! 🙂
The tale is getting, even more, interesting and can’t wait to hear about this more. You should write more often
I would think that it was the truth, if he shed a tear. He was probably loving her too.
its sounds creepy,,,who is lying and who is telling the truth….fix marriage is not popular here in our country
Seems like the plot is thickening. Interesting story.
Oh ho…this seems to be a cliff hanger. Doesn’t seem to have an ending. Waiting to know more.
Love where this is going. It’s becoming my go to ‘drama series’ on the internet. I can’t wait for the next installment!
Oh dear, this is getting way too complex. Does Maya realise that there are a lot more fish in the sea?
This was interesting! I need to rewind to the previous chapters to catch up though!
I am definitely hooked on Maya and Z’s story. Yes, I would hear the story from Zan’s point of view. Excited. 🙂
I hope Maya finds out that Zan has feelings for her. Otherwise, Zan will probably not be happy in his arranged marriage.
I am so obsessed with your stories! I can’t wait to see where you’re going with this one, amazing…
I can be suspicious at times as well! Thanks for sharing this wonderful story, I am waiting for the next one.
Ah, that was interesting and sad to leave Maya broken like that. What the reason they didn’t talk to each other and Z had tears. Great writing!
I will have to go and read the previous parts to understand the plot. You are definitely keeping your audience engaged!
yes yes! I’d love more from the perspective of different characters. Great way to get to know more about each player in this game!
now the story is turning really interesting. waiting to know what happened next> you are so good with story telling art, the series is turning out really interesting.
I feel bad for Maya here. Your story really makes me read more. Looking forward to the next episode
This one sounds like an interesting one! Great writing. 🙂
Yes, I want to know Z side of the story. I am sure he has started loving Maya, but due to his history, he is afraid of hurting her & himself.
After always chasing this story & looking forward for next chapter, this is really an exciting story to read. I strongly encourage you to make it a book, sure lots of ppl will be loving it. cheers, siennylovesdrawing
This chapter is more interesting and infact, I had to browse earlier chapters once again, I lost this story track from my mind. So sorry!
Sounds like an interesting read, i really need to read the other chapters to see what’s going on.
Oh we can all relate to that silent walk home. You can feel the hurt in this, very well written.
This is EXTREMELY cool. Things always get interesting when the plot thickens, as they say.
Amazing… Very interesting story. Short for each blog post, but the suspense builds up so well!
Such an interesting post. Looking forward to more chapters
I look forward to reading what will happen next. So many questions.
wow…not again…I want to know what happens.This is getting interesting yet suspicious.
Deeper and deeper we go into the story. I have no idea where its headed, but I can’t wait to see.
great read. Love the way it’s a continuation and we have to keep coming back for more.
I am very curious to know more …
Oh no, I wonder why Z had a falling tear. I wonder if it is because of his arranged marriage. And poor Maya she is just stuck in limbo.
Ooo now here we get much deeper, you writings always have me on the edge of my seat…can’t wait to read more x
I love reading about Maya’s stories. Will keep an eye out for the rest 🙂
Now you got me hooked and I am dying to know the next part. Your post really makes the reader come back for more.
It’s funny how I’m coming back for more episodes – just like binge-watching my favorite series.
Every time the story takes a new twist, enjoyed it.. keep them coming.
Yeyi, I just finished the last part – and yet here comes another one. So exciting!
Geez, this story keeps working my emotions for Maya and whey are these guys so shady? I mean I get it that this arrange marriage thing can be hard but dang!
Can’t wait to find out what happens next. Will Maya be able to put up with this much longer?
I am curious now, does Z actually like Maya or not, what’s the tear for?
I’m intrigued. Waiting to know what happens next!
The chronicles of maya book sounds very interesting,I would love to continue reading!
I am so curious now, what will happen next? So many twists in this story! Awaiting your next post!
Good cliff hanger, now I’m wondering what will happen next. Can’t wait for the next chapter.
What an interesting twist to the story. I wasn’t expecting that!
I would love to hear the other side of the story. It only seems right. Poor Maya though!
Aaaahhhhh….I guess we will never know how Z felt, now will we?
May be…
What an interesting story! Also, it’s a great idea to write a story like this, in chapters posted every few days. Like a tv-show! I am so curious about what Maya will do next.
I think Maya should just move on and find someone else. If there is no communication between Maya and Z, then getting into that relationship has no happy ending.
I feel Z is lying for sure! I am looking forward to the next episode to see if I am right. Love reading Maya’s life.
The story is getting suspense. I cannot wait to see other episodes.
Haha, every week there’s a new twist which makes the story more interesting . Can’t wait to see what happens next!
good stuff in your book. Keep it coming as it gets interesting day after day.
You had me wanting for more! I love how the plot makes a twist and turn! I can’t wait for the next one! Pretty please….
This is a novella in making. I m curious to know what’s in store..
OKAY. This episode is very interesting but I’m completely lost in the story as I didn’t read the previous episodes. You’re such a good writer, I am going back to read the previous Chapters ASAP. I appreciate you for sharing such a story.
Part of me feels for Maya and part of me wants to smack her in the head for being so silly. Ugh.
So does that mean z loves her as well? Or maybe wants her to get over him & hence lied about the wedding….made anil lie too? Will Anil & maya end up together now that he is single.
Drama after the birthday party! Thanks for sharing
Poor Maya, I really feel for her honestly. I’m totally invested in seeing what unfolds next.
This just keeps getting more and more suspenseful. Poor Maya!
I love how this story us twisted! Would like to know more on what happened next! And why.
Sounds like a great story. I need to read more on it as I missed something.
The story is developing, I just want to read the entire book!
I don’t think that marriage should be a call from the parents. You and yourself and only your heart will choose who you think is for you.
Nice story. I’m waiting to hear Zan’s part of the story. I’m sure there is a twist somewhere in his thoughts or actions.
I couldn’t help wonder what will happen next? I mean, the story gets me hooked.
What will happen next to Maya???
Can’t wait to know what Maya will do next.
Maya has turned out to be a very interesting series and love your story telling art. Want to know what happens next…
I waited for this chapter and I am so curious now. What is going on with Z? the romance sounds super fun!
That was such an “aww” moment out there.. I hope Anil is not messing up.
Curious to know what will happen next! Looking forward!
interesting spin and so many unanswered questions. Can’t wait to hear more
Very interesting story. Really love the way you keep the interest of readers engaged throughout and build an atmosphere of anticipation.
“Only my mother can find an ideal partner for me”… RUN GIRL RUNNNnnnnnnn! LOL!
Every chapter becomes more interesting than the one before! Excited to read Zan’s part of story.
What wonderful and captivating writing! Very suspenseful.
It is getting more and more interesting now. Does Z loves Maya too? With each chapter it is getting more and more suspicious.
i am feeling more miserable than mAYA AND Wud like to request you to please make a happy ending ,,, inspite the spoiler has already come. i wish Maya is the girl choosen by Z’s mothers
I just love this story. I really want to know what happened next. Keep sharing.
That seems like an interesting story… I am intrigued! Will check out the previous chapters.
Now story is getting more interesting.Is it a lie or Z is only trying to know how Maya feels about him? looking forward for next part.
the story seems to be getting more exciting .. really love the way you are nareaitng and now I am so engaged and curious to know what is next on the line.. great job
My heart sank reading this I really hope there is a big twist in the making. With the spoiler alert I am already looking forward to the next post.
That looks interesting tale of Maya, liked your style of writing, will check other posts too.
There is a lot Z and Anil are not telling Maya. I think she needs to cut her ties.
Smart!
Super cool story line and enjoyed this read! Definitely looking forward to more and will be back to check out more of your site 🙂 Love the writing style too!
Anil is good friend. Zan is a coward. Lol. I hope Anil and Maya has relationship in next chapter 🙂 I’m waiting the next!!!
You got me intrigued. I need to read the other entries to understand the story!
Seriously, I want you to write the full story now… again left in the mid with storming thoughts… Next post mein kiya hoga…
All this time I thought z didn’t love maya, I’m surprised he does. I’m not sure why he is playing hard to get.
I am certainly curious on what will happen next. I eagerly wait for your post .This plot is getting intersting.
That’s hearttouching story, now I am curious to know how will he react after seeing tears in her eyes.
The thing with most love stories is that it always has its share of melodrama with all the crying and hysteria. Your story is taking a different turn with Z’s marriage on the cards.
This story is getting interesting with every chapter. I don’t want to imagine what will happen. I want your to tell. How do you manage to leave each chapter at such a turn….
From reading this whole series so far. I don’t think I trust either Z or Anil. Something fishy is going on and I think Maya knows what she needs to do.
Each episode is like a new story in itself. You are a blessed writer indeed. Yes, life can be mean and complicated. Can’t wait to hear the reality behind Z and Anil’s lie.
Day by day the chronicles of Maya takes a new turn. I am so intrigued by the twists and turns in your story. I loved the way you let the audience perceive the characters and their emotions with your writing. Looking forward to the next chapter.
A very interesting read. Keen to know the outcome.
Waiting for z point of view. But I’d also want Maya to move on instead of waiting on him.
This is an interesting read. I would love to know what happens!
The story is turning interesting each day and somewhere as I had thought, I still feel Anil is goofing around and what he told to Maya may not be true. He is playing a game here.
Awwww this sucks! I want to read what Z has to say about all of this. Hope he stands up for her.
I am very very curious!!! I need to know what is gonna happen, need to know so badly.
I am definitely invested into the story now. I am going to have to start and read it in its entirety. It pulls you in just in the little bit I have read. What will happen next? Dun dun dun.
Such a great cliff hanger! Can’t wait to see what in store for the rest of the story.
The character of Maya and Z are so intriguing that I can’t wash off my eyes from the same. This is quite a gripping tale.
So it was a little odd starting a story in the middle (because I think this is my first time to your site), but I like where this is going. I definitely like where this is going. So I’m going to head back to the beginning to start this story from the top!
Zan is complicated person. He wants Maya but still ignored her.
