Abhay took her to their room. He entered his chamber and took her to the bedroom. He placed her there gently and sat beside her.

"Shreya, look at me and tell me did he—" Before he could speak more Shreya interrupted him.

"No, it was just what you saw and before he could do anything you came there…" She said and Abhay sighed in relief with his whole family who also came silently behind them.

Shreya was still sitting there like a statue. They all looked at her with concern. Abhay looks at the family members and indicates to them to go out from here. They all left from there.

"Shrey—"

"I want to take a bath…." She looked at him for the first time in a while. He nodded and took her to the washroom in his arms. He made her sit on the counter near the sink.

He was about to go to prepare the bathtub for her but she didn't leave his hand and got down from there she went near the shower and turned it on she was standing by back facing him.

Their clothes soaked in water, Abhay turned her towards him and saw her crying face. He saw her tears in the water. He wiped her tears and she looked at him and hugged him tightly.

"Why me Abhay? Why does Viraj have to come back into my life again? He gave me a wound for a lifetime" Shreya cried harder and slipped on the ground Abhay gulped his emotions and looked at her who was crying a mess.

The water was continuously flowing from the shower and wetting them.

He sat down to her level and held her tightly in his arms. He didn't say anything to her and let her cry when Shreya felt that now no tears were left in her eyes. She looked up at Abhay who was still holding her and staring at her continuously.

"Enough Shreya common now…" He extended his hand but she had no energy left in her; she just put her head on his chest.

He didn't say anything and turned off the shower first, he picked her up and took her to the closet.

He placed her on the couch and said with strictness.

"Shreya, go and change otherwise you will catch a cold…you change here I will change in the room" He turned to take his clothes but Shreya was still sitting there without any emotions.

He was about to go out from the closet when he saw her without moving a bit he went to her and sighed.

"Love, go and change or else I will change your clothes…" Abhay threatened her. She looked up in his eyes and without saying anything she went to take her clothes and Abhay was about to go into the room when Shreya said slowly.

"You change here I am going in the washroom, because if you change in the bedroom you will wet the carpets and throw your wet clothes and towel here and there in the room" With that she went into the washroom and Abhay chuckled.

After a while when Abhay changed his clothes and threw the wet in the laundry basket he went into his room and called someone. He cut the call and walked towards the balcony where he sat on the lounge chair.

In the meanwhile Shreya came out in a cotton suit with wet hair. Abhay heard her anklet sound and she saw him on the balcony. Abhay spread his one arm and indicated her from his eyes to come.

She walked to him on the balcony as she reached there he held her wrist gently and made her lay on him. Nobody said anything for some time. They were enjoying this peace under the full moon and the air was also blowing slowly.

"You okay, Shreya??" Abhay asked while caressing her back from one hand and her head from the other.

"I don't know, but this feeling is not going Abhay" She said in a slow voice and her eyes again filled with tears.

"Which feeling jaan?" Abhay looked down at her but she was not looking at him.

"This disgusting feeling of his touch I can still feel his touch on my body. This feeling is making me insane….I don't want this, I..I" She sobbed and looked at him.

Abhay bowed his head and kissed her as her tears were piercing his heart every second. He kissed her hard and rough. When he felt she was out of breath he left her.

"You're mine Shreya…only mine and now just forget about this I know it's very difficult for you but love you have to forget this incident…see I am here with you all the family is with you and that reckless person is also gone away from everyone's life" He kissed on her forehead.

"But will they understand me what if they–"

"You didn't even meet them or you already imagined their reactions" Abhay removed a few strands from her face and tucked them behind her ears.

Before she could say anything his phone rang and they both looked at his phone and it was flashing 'DAD' on the screen. Abhay picked the call and replied in a hummed voice.

"Shreya, go and get your dupatta" After cutting the call he said and she looked at him with confusion But she was not in the mood for an argument so she got up and went into the closet.

As she came out while setting her dupatta she heard so many voices from the living room of the chamber she followed those voices and went into the living room where she found everyone sitting there and arranging dinner.

"Aree Shreya beta common today your mother-in-law made everything according to your likeness which is something very rare, you know when i heard this i was about to get a heart attack." Madhav said and Shreya went to them.

Padmini looks at him with dangerous glares. Abhay and Shlok chuckled to see them. Padmini made her sit beside her and served a plate for her.

"We should admit today that Padmini is changing from devil mother-in-law to a sweet one" Vaishali said and smirked.

"I was always a good mother-in-law, Maa saa, right Shreya?" Padmini said and passed a plate to her. She took the plate from her hand.

"Huh..hmmmmm" She said without looking at Padmini and laughed Padmini who made annoying face.

"Sorry, I can't say anything about before but now you're the best mother-in-law anyone could ask for" She kept her plate on the table and hugged her tightly.

Everyone smiled at them and Padmini hugged her back. She broke the hug and took out a bag from behind her.

"Here, your mangalsutra, it is really beautiful. Your choice is really very good, I think you should wear it on the rajtilak '' She passed her the bag which fell from her hand while running away from Viraj.

She took this and showed it to Aanya and Vaishali who were excited to see this.

Padmini fed her from her hands and everyone made her engrossed in talking. They were cracking jokes or teasing each other.

Aanya was not there when this happened as she went to give her exam but when she heard all the things she felt like the earth slipped under her feet.

Even the whole family was in tension to see Shreya in this state but they didn't show it to her and try to maintain a peaceful environment for her. As they already know how much this thing affects her.

Soon everyone had their meal and when they felt that she was looking happy they all stood up to leave.

"Okay, so good night bacho we should leave now" Vikram said and Shreya smiled.

"Thanks to all of you I know that you guys came here just because of me. Thank you so much Maa, papa, Dada jii, Dadi jii, bhaiya, Aanya and Abhay for supporting me and didn't let me feel alone" A lone tear escaped from her eye.

Vaishali embraces her and Padmini scolds her. "Shreya we are a family and we should always support the other family member when he is in trouble so don't you dare to say thank you and all" Padmini narrowed her eyes and put her hands on her waist.

"See, she is the ideal and best mother-in-law who is scolding and threatening her daughter-in-law" Madhav teased her and everyone chuckled.

After that everyone left in their respective rooms and servants picked all the stuff from the living room. Abhay and Shreya also came inside their bedroom.

Shreya threw her dupatta on the couch and sat on the bed while thinking about something very deeply. Abhay put his phone on charge and moved towards her.

"What are you thinking Mrs.Rajawat?" He took her in his arms and sat beside her.

"Nothing just talking to God for giving me such a beautiful and supportive family" She looked at him and Abhay placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"You know Maa suggested something to me today" Abhay said and Shreya looked at him with focus.

"What?..."

"She suggested me to give you some self defense training as Maa saa and Dadi saa already took their training it just today Viraj was more quicker than them and before they could make themselves free he threatened them that he will hurt you and they knew very well that you don't know how to fight that's why they give upon him but as he still tries to take advantage of you they couldn't control themselves" Abhay said and Shreya nodded her head.

"I think she is right I should learn self defense, btw who will teach me like you will hire some teacher or one of your guards will teach me this" She asked and he chuckled.

"Why will I hire any teacher when I can give you special training?" He winked and her eyes widened.

"You must be kidding…" She mumbled and he shook his head with a smirk plastered on his face. She made a pout and soon they slept in each other's arms.
