"Vedika, you sleep on bed, I'll sleep on couch. I don't want to make you uncomfortable." He said as she came out from washroom changing into her comfy clothes, he took a pillow from bed while she held his wrist stopping him, and looked at him.

"No need to sleep on couch, I'll sleep there, you sleep on bed I'll sleep on couch." She said taking pillow from his hand and kept on the couch.

"Maine kaha naa mein so jaunga couch par tum bed par so jao." He said pulling her closer. "Maine bhi kaha naa mein so jaungi couch par, aap par so jao." She said pushing him back.

After few minutes of arguments Vedika stopped him and said, "Wait let's do one thing, I'll make a line of  these pillow between this bed so that we both can sleep on bed."

She started making line between their bed she looked at him who was already looking at her intensily.

"Impressive mrs. Malhan, you are so smart just like your husband." He whispered in her ears making her blush.

"So jaye!" She asked making a distance from him at which he nodded. She laid down on the right side of bed while he laid on left side.

She closed her eyes letting the sleep embrace her, while her face was facing him. He admired her angelic place as she slept peacefully. He kept his hand on hers which was on one of the pillow and slept having smile on his face.

Midnight

"No, don't kill him. He's innocent. He did nothing." Vedika shouted, soon a gun shot was heard taking her heart out from her chest.

"Nischayyyyy!!" She shouted and woke up from her sleep and shaked because of fear, her heart was pounding fastly against her rib cage.

"Vedika calm down everything is fine." He tried to comfort her while hugging her from side. "Stay away nischay ji, or else he'll kill you too." She said trembling in his arms.

"Nothing will happen, it was just a nightmare." He said and rubbed her arms trying to give her the warmth that was much needed for her at that moment.

"No, he'll kill you. Anyone who loves me, he kills them just like he killed my mother. I can't cost your life Nischay ji." She said trying to push him while he kept tightening his grip on her.

He sighed as he knew about him she was talking about, and tried to calm her down.

He felt her weight on his shoulder and looked at her, only to find her sleeping on his shoulder. Tears rolled down from his eyes seeing her tear strained face.

He knew that she was traumatized, and was determine to protect her at any cost and will make those traumatized who gave his lady love trauma.

He made her lay down on bed properly and took her in his arms. Kissing her forehead softly he slept having her in his arms.

•••••••••

Next morning she woke up feeling some weight on her body and found herself in her husband's arms. A small smile adorned her face seeing him sleeping so peacefully and cutely.

"Done admiring me, Mrs. Malhan." He said with his eyes still closed, and she blushed looking away shyly. "Sharmate hue tum aur bhi Sundar lagti ho!" He said and kissed her cheek.

"Leave me Nischay ji, i have to get ready." She said trying to avoid the situation. "If you don't mind I can help you in getting ready." He teased her.

"No thanks." She hitted him with her elbow and got up from bed and ran to washroom. "Kabhi naa kabhi to kamre mein aaugi naa Chaand." He said from the room.

She kept her hand on her chest and rubbed it slowly trying to calm her uneven breathes. Her cheeks got red. A new type of feeling she felt while being with Nischay.

The feelings that she never felt before not even when she was with her ex.

•••••••••••

"Good morning Aunty." She greeted her mother-in-law Mrs. Dimple Malhan with a smile adorned on her face as she entered inside the kitchen.

"How dare you Vedika." Dimple aunty looked at her angrily while she was scared and felt her tears would come out from her eyes any moment.

"What happened aunty!" She asked stammering while her dimple aunty looked at her with a small smile.

"How dare you call me Aunty, I'm not your aunty but I'm your mother. So call me maa just like Nischay, Abhi and prerna calls me." As soon as she completed her words a lone tear escaped from her eyes.

"Maa." She whispered and hugged her mother tightly. She felt relieved while being in arms of her mother-in-law. She felt the same same warmth she used get from her mother while being in her arms.

"Before your marriage with Nischay, i had only one daughter but now i have two and the second one is you." She said  and patted Vedika's back softly.
