Chapter 43

Siya's POV:

Ariya crawled to us slowly and laid down on Arjun's chest along with me. Her eyes were stooping, my baby was feeling sleepy. After all she enjoyed a lot today and also tired. I kissed her nose which was so close to me while Arjun kissed her head and told me "Shall we go Siya, Ari is sleepy."

I nodded my head and about to get up but he pulled me close and looked straight into my eyes. " But I don't wanna go back home baby, I wanna hold you like this all life." He told with so much sincerity making butterflies dance in my tummy.

Did he just called me BABY! From when did he became romantic?

I laid back on his chest and started breathing the air around me, enjoying the climate in beach with my husband. After few minutes we got up and started walking towards our car. Ari was asleep and he held her while I held his other hand to walk in the impossible sand which was difficult as well as delightful to lodge your feet into it. On the other hand I felt very comfortable holding Arjun's hand.

I sat on the passenger seat whilst he gave Ari to me and occupied the driver seat. Dropping the glass window, I saw the beach longingly. I could see Arjun, Ari and I playing happily there, this was the best day in my life.

I sighed in relief and turned towards Arjun, he was busy reversing the car. Suddenly something urged me to kiss him and I did. It was a quick peck on his cheek.

He looked at me shocked, "Arjun this is one of the best day of my life, you know how much I enjoyed after so long. Thank you." I thanked him whole heartedly. He gave me a heart warming smile stopping the earth and ceasing everything around me.

He started reducing the distance between us and I was so lost in him to coherent his intensions. His face was just inches apart when we heard a horn. He banged the steering wheel with the curse and gave a deadly glare at the intruder making me chuckle.

He started driving, in the time I made sure Ari is comfortable in my arms. I need to give her a bath tomorrow she's very tired right now. All on a sudden Arjun pulled the brake and I was jerked front due to the force but thank god my baby is safe.

"Siyaaa.... Are you ok? " Arjun panicked and hugged me. I nodded my head and looked front. There were few men with kniefs and guns glaring at us. My breath hitched and I gave a dreadful look to Arjun.

One of the men gestured us to come out, my body started shaking badly " Whatever happens.. You are not stepping out. Am I clear?" Asked Arjun to which I nodded my head dreadfully.

Arjun opened his door and was about to step out but I held his hand. "Arjun don't go please.. They look so dangerous."

"I will not let anything happen to you both." He told me and stepped out without turning his back. "What if something happens to you?" I told this to the closed door, he was fast.

A deadly silence was prevailing around me all I could hear was the soft snores of my peaceful sleeping baby unaware of our situation. My eyes pooled when Arjun stood in front of them. A bulky man started walking towards our car but the next second I found him flying in the air. My pulsation stopped when I heard a gunshot my eyes started searching for my Arjun immediately. He backlashed the man and his gun fell down before another could take the gun, Arjun lunged him to death. Tears ran down my cheeks all I did was praying for my husband.

God please!

One after the other everyone fell on the ground. Arjun got into the car and hugged me tight. I didn't want to let him go but for now I need to leave this place so I didn't abject when Arjun left me and ignited the engine.

Who were they?

It didn't looked like a roadway robbery. They looked cruel and done things intentional. Arjun looked like a erupting volcano in front of them all I could witness was the determination to save us in his eyes.

I looked at him he had a cut in his forearm and it was bleeding, he got yet another injury in his back. I was shocked with this whole scenario and still couldn't come up with a solution. I touched his hand but Arjun didn't turn towards me like his usual self. He was deep in his thoughts like me and looked scared. For the first time I saw fear in his eyes. Fear of losing me and Ariya.

Even I was totally terrified and scared of losing my Arjun.

We reached home soon and got into our room. I changed Ariya's dress making her whine in sleep then I turned to Arjun who was pacing back and forth in our room.

"How the hell this all happened and who are they? Where did they come from? I wanna know everything and I wanna slit his throat with my own hands... How dare he try to hurt my family I wi-" he stopped squawking in the phone once he noticed me looking at him.

He threw his phone on the couch and kneeled in front of me. "I'm so sorry to put you into this Siya. You know what I always try to make you happy, I try my best but something has to happen ruining our happiness. I know you are mad at me but ple-" I didn't let him complete but hugged him tight. Why would I be mad at him? Infact he put a stake on his life to save us, I was scared and worried for him. What if something happens to him? Could I able to digest that? The answer is I couldnot and I would die without him.

After wiping my tears, I broke the hug and looked at his fore arm, it has a slit and his white shirt was partly drenched with blood. I started to unbutton his shirt making him give a intense look filled with love and pain. I removed the shirt making his well sculptured body visible to me.

Without uttering a word I took him to the washroom and splashed cold water on the wounds and asked him "Are you feeling better?" He didn't say a word but wiped my tears. I then took him back to our room and started treating his injuries with the first aid kit.

I was so close to him and his eyes were boring holes into my soul but it felt so right. Matching his gaze I asked him "Is it paining a lot?" But I didn't get any reply. Hurriedly, I took a painkiller and made him gulp it with water. Not even a single second he skipped looking at me.

I was about to get up but he got hold of my waist. Our nose were touching each other, he wiped my tears again and asked me "Why are you crying?" I didn't answer but looked down at his chest and continued crying.

"Answer me love!" He pulled me further more by my waist. My one hand on it's own accord touched his chest and my other hand brushed his stubble.

"Because I can't see you in pain. I can't. I...I'm sorry Arjun. Everything is because of me. You were so discreet about us stepping out of this mansion but it was I, who urged you to take us out. I didn't listen to you and kept poking you to take us out ignoring your warnings and presage. And today you are hurt because of me." With that I cried harder connecting both our foreheads.

"Hey...baby don't cry. Please I will not let anything happen to you both. I will rather die than let some filths lay hands on you and Ari, I will not back away even though I have to lose my lif-" I stopped him placing my palm on his mouth.

"I will kill you if you say that again, have you thought about me once before uttering that word. What will I do without you? Arjun.... Do you think I can survive without you?" I asked him sniffing while he slowly brought his palms to cup my face.

"I have all rights to hurt you physically, verbally, mentally but I can't tolerate someone else hurting you. Seeing you in pain is killing me alive, I'm sorry... I... I do care Arjun... Nothing in this world is important to me more than you. So please don't get hurt again and hurt me." I spoke looking into his eyes after so long.

And I spoke the truth I LOVE HIM, nothing in this world could change that fact.

His hands were around my waistline, slowly crushing me to him making various heavenly sensations arose in my body. I hugged his bare chest keeping my head pressed to his chest hearing his heart beat.

Tears slid down my eyes on it's own accord making me tighten my grip on him every passing second. "Hereafter I will not question you. I will do as you say. I will be a good wife." I told raising my face to look at him.

He pulled me up and briefly kissed my forehead, his lips started lingering along my cheeks and jawline but this time I didn't protest instead I felt alive and every cell of my body carved his touches. I wasn't scared anymore because I wanted him. I closed my eyes relishing the moment but suddenly he stopped.

" Thirty days love, give me just thirty days. I'll finish everything... I mean everything and we'll start afresh. I just need your support baby, I just want you close to me and want you to trust me." He told looking at my soul through my eyes, I sensed a determination and confidence in his words along with immeasurable love.

After nodding, I pushed him on his back and laid down on his chest breathing his scent which helps relaxing my thuddering heart. Tangling my leg, I spread my arm over his torso he pulled me further close to him and hugged me tight not even letting air between us.

We both drifted to sleep hoping a better tomorrow. I trust him, all I have to do was give some time for Arjun, he would definitely fix things right.

My eyes opened when I felt a tingling sensation, Sun rays sneeked through the curtains spreading warmth into our room. Arjun was wide awake, staring at the ceiling he was drawing patterns in my bare waist it was tickling me to laugh.

"You are awake?" He asked me. I gave him a reassuring smile and was about to get up but he pulled me back to his chest. "Stay!" told him resuming his drawing skills in my back. If I would have been the old Siya, I would jerk his hand and taunt him but after last night I couldn't. I mean what's the use? When he sensed that I didn't ignore him, he hovered over me and stroked my cheek. He slowly started closing the distance between us but before that a delicate kiss landed on my cheek.

My baby with half sleepy eyes kissed me and snuggled close to me, Arjun chuckled while pulling both of us back to this chest.

This is the best morning of my life!
