Diya pov

"Arju water"

"Arju milk"

"Bring me napkins"

"Call mom"

"Bring me medicines"

"Can you ask mom to make me some porridge?"

All my work from the morning was done by Arjun as I lied to him saying I am not feeling well, so he is taking care of our son with help of mom who often ran to her room so that I could make Arjun talk to her.

He, being a good father pushed his ego and anger aside and talked with mom for taking care of him. But the conversation is too simple.

Cleaning him, feeding him milk, making him sleep, cooing him when he cries, not even once I saw Arju's face change to anger. He likes taking care of his son, he likes killing his precious time to take care of us. 

During this time he received many important calls but pushing then aside he stayed by my side and I have to maintain this lie at least for another day, I stayed quiet rather than sending him to do his work.

"Drink it completely Diya" he ordered me mixing milk for our baby.

"Yuck," I placed the milk on the table not taking it completely.

"Ok, then be ready to have the next juice" I mentally scolded myself for saying stomach pain as a reason. From the morning I am drinking only juices but my tongue is craving some hot spicy food.

"Arju please have a concern for me, these liquid foods will kill my tongue if another drop falls on my tongue. Then you have to face consequences" he laughed hearing me and filled the bottle with milk keeping it aside.

Taking a seat close to me he put his arms around my shoulder, "then I have a better way" I questioned him confused, his smirk grow wider as he leaned to me making me lean backwards until my back hit the bed.

"Arju" my voice came with a mere whisper with his closeness and seductive perfume completely lost my sense without any contact with each other.

I felt his hand on my hips still maintaining his eyes on mine with mischief and love. Beyond that look, I saw a per cent of lust when his eyes moved down to my neck for a snap of the second, "snow" he whispered slowly as calmed himself down closing his eyes for a second and his whisper automatically made me close my eyes. 

The eyes which always hides emotions are now letting me see it. When women's are speaking thousands, men's eyes are speaking millions to their loved ones which they hide easily from others. The emotions, pain, the excitement they hide unlike women have more power. 

"Hmmm," my voice barely reached my ears, poor him. It would never reach him.

I felt his hot breath near my ears increasing my heartbeat, "look into my eyes snow" his lips were an inch away from my ear. When I shook my head it touched my ear sending shivers down my spine.

"Do I have rights on you snow?" my eyes snapped open, "do you doubt it?" I asked.

He smiled, "the changes we took, the changes we gave, the mistakes we made to the reasons which we never made, many such important errors occurred in our lives, almost thrilling, almost raising terrors made our love look incomplete. I am wondering how our life changed for a few months, the terror I am still feeling if something wrong happened scares me.

Promising to me I came here last week to leave everything behind and run to some unknown place but a single hug and tear compelled me to take my decisions back" I gripped his collar grabbing his attention.

I shook my head to not continue more those days are too painful to remember, he smiled, "loving is a challenge is to prove to our heart how strong we are when hurdles interrupt us Arju. We did a doctorate in it. We lost our trust, we hated our lives but still, our love brought us back binding our fate together"

Moving close to him I put my hands around his neck, "can I know what actually happened in our lives?" my brain was too eager to hear everything from him.

"Poor heart of yours can't digest it snow" his thumb caressed my cheek lovingly, "let's leave it?" he asked nodding his head.

"Your arms will provide me with the power to fight right and I want to know everything, the truth of this world"

Taking a deep breath he held my hand in his and started talking looking into my eyes, "your father and mother loved each other during their teenage. Your grandfather was a school teacher but they had a huge debt for your grandmother's treatment but she didn't survive. Your mother's parents are rich by birth. They had multiple industries, factories and even school and colleges. Having no idea to let your mother out of the house your grandparents arranged a teacher who can teach her from home. That's when your grandfather, your father's father started to take classes for your mother. Your parents saw each other during your mother's 10th grade. Later their friendship developed into love. During college days your mother joined the same college as your father, slowly your father started to love your mother's money more than her with the luxury things she had.

When your mother's parents came to know about their love they opposed it knowing your father's intention but your mother was adamant to not obey their words. During their college days, your father's newly developed friendship made him have contact with goons and many other peoples who are in indirect contact with illegal mafias. He was asked to donate one billion to have direct contact with them. 

His only choice is your mother, by marrying her he will get her whole assets so when he approached your mother's parents they rejected him without second thoughts which angered your father and he killed them showing that as an accident to your mother's eyes, all their assets got transferred to your mother's name. Later your mother and father got married, he asked for money from your mother for business. She gave them but when his greed for money developed love on your mother and you faded away slowly. Your mother started to know his true face and she transferred all her assets in your name due to fear of your father. You have the rights to sell it or change into others name at your 25th age. When your father came to know this he killed your mother" silent tears keep on flowing my cheeks.

How cruel he got just for money killing his own wife. Arju brought me to his embrace, "shall I continue?" I nodded wiping my tears.

"Later he started the business by getting a loan from banks. His connection to the illegal market developed also he started it out to the world by blackmailing other businessmen by kidnapping their family girls, women trafficking became his identity. You were also baited in it at the end but fortunately, I stopped it before it happened" 

It felt very hard to breathe, a father trying to sell his daughter for money and to gain trust from another man. The worst thing ever a daughter should hear. What if Arjun was not there? What if he didn't know about this?

"I would have killed myself before something happened" 

"Let's not talk about something that will never happen Diya. You are safe with me. You were surrounded by hundreds of my men every day since I came to know about your father's true colours, he might not reach your single hair without my acquiescence"

"Why didn't you told me anything concerning this Arju? I would have been cautious with him and this would not have happened" I asked him.

He hugged me to his chest, "this would never reach your ears if I told you then, also I had already burdened you with my words and activities. At first, I intended to finish this without conveying it to your conversance but everything got ricocheted" that was true I would have not believed him before my father. I was ready to leave my father but not ready to hate him or hear words abreast him before our marriage. Sorry even after it.

"Sorry," I said kissing his chest above his t-shirt. 

He laughed cutely, "my lips are up here Diya" blushing I hid my head on his neck, "sorry Arju. Now I trust your every activity which has hundreds of meaning in it. But can I know when are you going to forgive your brother and parents"

"Do I have the right to be angry with them to forgive them?"

Moving away from his neck I glared at him, "then stop talking with me"

"you are becoming more demanding day by day" he instantly moved down to my lips and bite it a bit hard leaving me flabbergasted. He laughed at me seeing my non-blinking lashes, "sorry my beautiful snow. Can I apply medicine for it?" he asked innocently blinking his lashes.

Angrily I moved forward towards him and bite his cheeks hard. "oh, and there's a woman in my life who's wild and yet soft" he held me in place from moving away from him, "wild like a cute cub and melting like snow in my arms. Have you seen her?"

"Yeah I have seen her roaming angrily with a knife to kill her thick-witted and cunning hubby" he chuckled loudly making my heart skip multiple beats. He still has a charming smile on his face glorifying a woman's heart, how many days have passed since I saw this smile.

"What can I do? My wife is not ready to let her husband near her. Now with your permission..." he moved down to my lips but I stopped him placing my forefinger on his chin, "smart huh?" he shook his head, "just one kiss snow" he removed my finger from his chin.

"Not before you answer my question" I stayed adamant, "let's talk it after it. I will answer you" 

"Never. Answer me first when you are going to talk with mom, dad and Advi" his face turned cold as he moved from me but I got him in place, "say now" I ordered him.

"When I feel like talking I will definitely talk"

"Arju why are you behaving like a kid? You yourself saw him yesterday right? See how hurt he is without talking to you. He is disturbed from heart Arjun. He thinks he can't function without his brother. I am not asking you to help him but be his moral support. Your words would help him Arju" 

"Do you think I am happy seeing my brother whom I love more than you taking drinks that too blaming me?" he lashed out, "he is my first child Diya. I am more concerned about him but..."

I interrupted him, "stop with these buts Arju. You won't know how much he cried whenever he spoke hurting words to you? Every time he would cry for speaking those words to you, he was not angry with you but upset with your behaviour, he even punished himself for hurting you. I have spent days to pacify him to take him out of depression. He stopped talking with Yaashvi, he stopped speaking with us when he came to know you when you went to Australia. He suffered more than me Arju. Please talk to him"

His face turned away from me angrily, "that's why he got engaged without me right?" that was a burst of laughter with a ridiculing look, I grabbed his collar to look into my eyes, "it was a compulsion. We forced him to have an engagement to divert his attention from you but after everyone left he removed the ring and threw it on the floor because he thinks that was not an engagement without his brother" shocked expressions pasted on his face from my confession. He looked at me without blinking, 'really?' look.

I nodded, "that was the reason you were angry with him right? Not inviting him for his engagement?" smile plastered on my lips, he shrugged his shoulders trying to escape from this topic, "you are behaving like a child Arju if you told me this before I would have explained it," I said pinching his nose tip.

"That doesn't mean I am going to talk to him now" I smiled at him, "don't need to talk now take your time and talk to him tomorrow morning"

"That's too soon" he complained, "good things need to be done quickly, so be a good boy and talk with him tomorrow and to mom and dad..." he placed me on the bed quickly, "seems like you are perfectly fine. Do your work I am going out"

"Arju..." I called him who is trying to run out of the room escaping from me.

'Today I am settling an end to your temper, Arju' 

"Arju my stomach is hurting" he stopped hearing my cries (fake), "what happened?" he came instantly next to me with a hesitation to touch my stomach or not.

"Can we go to the hospital? Is it unbearable? Do you have any medicines?"

"call mom" I whispered in pain as he immediately ran to call mom and came back within few seconds with a frightened look. 

'Aww, my sweet Arju, LOVE YOU 3000. Don't be feared. I am perfectly fine but please talk to mom quickly. I can't act for long'

When mom saw me with a worried expression I winked at her without letting Arjun know my intention, she understood me and smiled at me with relief.

"Mom, my stomach is paining"

"Arjun we need to buy some herbs for making medicines for her come let's go to the supermarket" she called Arjun who instantly nodded his head and walked out grabbing his wallet and car key.

"All the best mom, take your time but when you return he should be hugging you" she caressed my head, "I will at least to make my daughter smile" with that they walked out leaving me with Yaash who came to meet him after a week.

"How is your work Yaash?"

"Horrible every day making worse my brother is eating my brain at home" she took my son, "my only relaxation is this little man," she said kissing his cheek with a bright smile on.

When Arjun's absence hit Advik it directly shook Advik and Yaashvi's relationship. He completely avoided all of us, especially Yaash. He was guilt about separating his brother's family by sending him to Australia, so how can he be happy? Yaash didn't show the pain on her face.

Her reply was simple, 'I waited for years to come near him. If it was true we will be happy together'

She didn't have any crispy conversation with him not initiated a fight but when Advi removed the ring made I hate myself for forcing him to get engaged.

"Yaash you are not angry with me?"

She saw me with the perplexing look, "what is there to be angry on you Diya?"

"Your engagement day" I took a deep breath, "that day Advik removed the ring you wear him, I saw you Yaash you were silent but it hurts you right?"

"Relax Diya. I agree I have hurt that day but I and Advi had a conversation about this before engagement. He came to our house and took me out at night which was very unusual as he never took me out after the day he proposed to me.

He explained to me he can't take the engagement as an engagement without his brother in it. That would purely be a ring exchanging ceremony without any feeling involved in it. I was hurt but later when I started to think about his situation and love for his brother I started to accept it. If my Advik's heart is not stable and his mind is not ready to accept that day from his heart then what is the use of it. We agreed to get engaged for our family. Our real engagement will happen with his brother beside Advi. I will be with him with every step he takes" I hugged her tight with happy tears in my eyes.

"He is lucky to have you Yaash" I broke the hug and glared at her, "but why did you hide your love for him?"

She showed her teeth smiling, "sorry"

I pulled the pillow to my lap and moved close to her, "okay tell me every single detail, I wanted to ask it but right now I am in listener mode" her cheeks went in the shade of pink.

With that we had our never-ending conversation recalling both our love stories with a smile, smile and only smile.
