Rudra's hands caressed through her head as ishani lay tucked by his side sleeping. She was out like a light as soon as he hugged her. Her head on his chest and practically more than half of her body was over him but he was not complaining. The fact that she felt so much comfortable with them was something he was bragged in his head.

But he the scene of tears running down her beautiful face stabbed his heart. He wanted to kill her uncle and aunt in the most ruthless way but something was holding him back. Something was telling him that it was ishani's revenge and she should complete it.

A knock on the door took his attention. "Come in."

Siya opened the door peeking inside. She looked at them and smiled before entering inside carrying a tray with two plates of food. "Avyan told me not to disturb you two...but it was late and that's why I brought dinner." Siya said placing the tray on the bedside table.

Rudra nodded. His hands never stopping caressing her head. Siya looked at ishani longingly with a small smile. "You want to say something?" rudra asked noticing how her eyes hovered over the sleeping figure of ishani. Siya nodded and rudra curled his legs a bit making space for siya to sit. Siya sat by the edge. Her hands placed on ishani's hands holding it softly.

"I see so much of myself in her. The timidness, the shyness everything reminds me of my past self. Had it not being manav I would have remained the same I was 10 years back." A small slight smile grazed on his face hearing her.

He still remembered the day she came home 10 years ago. Manav's first wife was not a pleasant women and having his mother died when he was just 6 rudra never fully got mother's love. Till the age of 16 he and abhiraj were used to doing things on their own. From taking care of their two little brothers to handling themselves.

So it came as a shock to have a woman in the house. And that too only 9 years elder than them. Abhiraj straightaway refused to acknowledge her, rudra was hostile towards her. But the two younger ones latched onto her the moment she came. But overtime she won everybody over. She cared for them like a mother would and loved them, always prioritizing them.

"You never had kids of your own." Siya's eyes widened at his statement. She smiled a little and looked at him. "I got married to a man who was 11 years elder than me, I came into a house of four kids, do you still expect me to have kids rudra? Not that I am saying it's bad. Yeah I long for a daughter but I know better than to hope for it. You are like my own kids and moreover I could never bring this up before manav."

Rudra smirked as a question came into his mind and as a person he was he said it aloud. "Did you and chachu even kissed or had sex?"

"Rudra." Siya whisper yelled. Her cheeks covered with red blush. "Shut the fuck up." And with that she stood up. She glared at him who was laughing much to her dismay but her heart warmed at his smile. Rudra smiled rarely and it was these happy moments that siya wanted to cherish forever. "Both of you eat the dinner." She said with fake anger and wlaked out still hearing his laughter. She shook her head as the scene and walked away.

Rudra softly shook ishani. "Jaan, wake up." His constant shaking made ishani whine and she opened her eyes. She saw rudra's face over her and her eyes widen. She quickly sat up and found herself over him. Her face flushed red and rudra smirked. "Did you forget the kiss love? How can you be embarrassed after we kissed?"

The mention of the kiss made ishani bothered and hot. Crossing out her panic, everything was so damn perfect. She loved how he kissed her passionately and softly and how by the end he lost his control and kissed her hard. Rudra sensed her wheels turning in her head. His hands went behind her neck as he grabbed her close by her neck.

Their face close to each other and he sensed her heavy breathing. He smirked. Ishani gulped. Her insides whirled. She wanted those lips on her again. Rudra moved closer to her lips and in a swift motion his tongue swiped on her close lips. He moved back quickly and watched as she blushed furiously still in shock. "Let's make you eat huh."

Rudra rolled up his sleeves and began laying out the tray on the bed. Her eyes trailed on his forearms. The veins popping out of them. His hands were muscular and big. He could snap her into half with those arms and not to forget how it wrapped around her throat while kissing.

She clenched her thighs together feeling hot. Her insides ached and she doesn't knows why. She wanted much more than the kiss. The kiss only ignited her desires. Rudra well aware of her stare smirked. He sat facing her. "Jaan eat up."

Ishani looked at him and nodded.

After eating rudra went and kept the plate downstairs. By the time he was up ishani had made the bed already. She was applying the cream on her face. Rudra leaned on the wall looking at her. Ishani caught him from the mirror and turned around. "Go and get freshen up." But rudra didn't moved. He just continued to stare at her.

Ishani looked confused. She frowned and tilted her head slightly. Rudra closed his eyes and then opened walking towards her. "Go love you are fucking cute." He declared holding her face squishing it. Ishani looked stunned unable to say something. Rudra leaned down pecking her lips and then walking to the bathroom to get fresh. Ishani stood there for a while and then looked at the way he had gone and smiled widely.

The smile was wide and genuine not a fake one.
