•Chapter-46•

Arjun's POV:

"Strip him." I ordered. Rahul smirked and did the honor. "Now.. now.. these are the same hands which touched my mother and my wife right? Let's see what I have stored in for you......."

That day his screams echoed in the darkness of the night... I gave him the most painful death.... I finally avenged my parents death.... And punished those who tried to snatch our happiness.

Smiling with satisfaction I drove towards the hospital where my wife is waiting for me... The dusk is clearing from the sky letting the dawn... Just like how bad things in our life left and good things are going to start....

       Driving towards the hospital  I noticed how good I felt when I took revenge. I reached the hospital soon. It became morning now.

        I went to reception and asked regarding my family.

         I went towards the wards where they are there. I noticed Anjali sleeping in the nearest benches and saw Aranya's family too. My father-in-law gave me a smile and I returned him one. I took both my in-laws blessings.

       I wanted to see Aranya first so asked him where she is. He pointed me the corner ward room. I nervously stepped inside the room and saw her unconsciousness state.

     I took slow steps towards her and settled on the near by stool. I looked at her small figure. I noticed some red marks on her hands and grimaced at that.

      I took her hand  and clasped it with mine. Our hands perfectly fit in eachother's. I grinned at that and saw her face. Looking at her almost pale face made me feel like a stupid. I should have stayed with her.

        I remembered her asking divorce from me... My heart ached at that. After what felt like few minutes I went away from her ward and reached my parents ward.
  
          I entered inside and saw their bodies lying their almost lifeless. Tears formed in my eyes. If not for them I don't know how I would have been survived all these years. Maa.. she just took care of me like a real mother.

      I went and sat beside her. Holding her hand in my hand. This lady became old and the wrinkles are started to appear on her white skin. I kissed her hands and cheeks. I kept my head near her stomach. A tear rolled down from my eye....

        "Iam not your real son... But still you made me feel like Iam yours. You are not only became a mother to me but you became my goddess too.  You were there all the time giving me love and cherishing every little moment as a great thing to you... If not for you and Dad I-I-..." I finally let go of my facade of being strong infront of only one woman apart from Aru. I cried holding her hand.

          The pain Iam enduring is so much that I just want to rip my heart. I want to cry badly.. my mom... My mom who bare me for 9 months in her womb.. and my father who was supposed to be by my side in my every ups and downs died on the same day...

        I felt like someone is running their hands in my scalp. I slowly got up and saw maa looking at me with teary eyes.
   
         Despite having tears in her eyes she gave me a smile. "Ia-Iam so-sorry Arjun.. I don't want you to get more hurt.... You deserve all the happiness in the world Mera bacha..." She said as few tears rolled down her cheeks. I shook my head and kissed her forehead. She hugged me close to her heart.

         "All hugs to your mother only? No hugs or kisses for this old man?" I heard my dad's voice and went towards him. I kissed his hands and hugged him tightly and carefully not to touch his wounds.

               "Ofcourse old man... How can I not give them to you?" I asked and he looked and smiled at me.  "Senti young man.." he mumbled and I laughed out loud.

          After spending some quality time with I came outside their ward only to see the corridor in chaos.

     I looked at my father-in-law who just came out of the room.  When he saw me coming he said that Aru is having nightmare and is creating chaos.
   
        I rushed towards her room and saw her fighting doctors and nurses. She is throwing everything.

         "Leave me. Arjun... They are hur-hurting me.... Please.. it's paining. He is touching me Arjun... " Her screams got stopped as I rushed and hugged her.  At first she tried to push me but one touch from me she stopped doing that.

          I saw tears... Her tears are questioning me that why I haven't reached soon... I wish I could.

           I hugged her and let her sleep peacefully. I looked at doctor motioning him to leave.

        I tried to go away but "stay close... Don't leave." She mumbled in her sleep. Sighing in defeat I slept beside her. Hugging her small body.... Even though iam angry at her for talking about divorce but still I will stay with her. Because I know it's her one of the dark time. She might become traumatized if not.

*Time skips -- after two months*

Aranya's POV:

It's been two months since that day where I thought I will lose myself. But fortunately Arjun came...

        It's been ok between me and Arjun. It's been two months since we had any proper talk. I can feel uncomfortable distance between us. That doesn't mean he wasn't there when I needed him. He was there even if haven't called him.

        Every night we will sleep in the same bed. We will sleep apart from eachother but end up cuddling in the morning.

         Arjun always tries to avoid touching me for some reasons which is making us far apart. One day it's heavily raining here and I still get blush at the same time angry thinking about it.

Flashback:

That day it had been one month since that incident happened. That day it's raining here fully and Arjun haven't reached the home yet.

       Waiting for him I sat in the living room. Upto then my legs got healed almost. That day he went to Rahul bhai's place as Rahul Bhai proposed Madhu for marriage. Discussions are going on. I was supposed to go but Arjun said he will take me some other time.

        The clocked stucked at 10:45 and still there is no trace of this stupid Insaan. Waiting for him I got tierd and  eyes are getting closed too. Just as I thought I am going to sleep. The electricity has gone. We have inverter so I thought nothing will happen but in the next moment a huge thunderbolt came and the inverter went off too.

         Sighing I walked to the store room and brought candles and lit them in the living and dining area.

                     I again sat in the couch. This time without any interruptions I slept.

              What felt like few hours I felt a hand running on my cheeks. It stopped on my lips. I slowly opened my eyes only to see Arjun looking at me with so much.... Ugh! What? Some strange emotion.

        Being this close to him made something to. He leaned on me and kissed forehead. Moving down he kissed my both and kissed my nose.

            Later he kissed my both cheeks and nuzzled my neck giving wet kisses here there. Taking my earlobe in his mouth he nibbled for some time.

           I closed my eyes "Arjun..." An involuntary moan escaped from my mouth. He came up and looked into my eyes... He was just few inches apart from my lips and Iam dying to taste him....

         Just as we about to kiss the lights came indicating that power has come ruining our moment.

Since then onwards he was not much intereacting with me. Sighing and shaking my head I kept music in my phone and started preparing dinner.

       Moving my hips I cooked the dinner.  Iam enjoying the music. The cooking is almost done but my playlist is still running. Dancing and taking the bowl to keep the curry Iam moving like a mad woman. But suddenly I felt someone is watching me and saw my husband at the kitchen door with an amused look.

          I blinked and raised my eyebrows. He is having a silly smile and teasing look on his face. I narrowed my eyes and shrugging my shoulders I changed the curry from cooking utensil to the serving bowl.

          Later after getting freshen up we both arranged the table to eat. We sat opposite to eachother and ate in complete silence.

Later he sat in the couch and is watching  t.v. I sat beside him.   Arjun is not talking to me. "Arjun?" I called him.

             "Yes Aru?" He asked. "Why are you avoiding me.? Iam seeing from the day one since that incident. Are you angry because I said I want to divorce you? That's why you are taking the revenge by not talking with me right? You are not even touching me.... Do I became ugly? Is that the reason why you are avoiding me?" I said as I started crying.

           "From where the hell that came from Aranya? I mean what the hell are you talking? I thought you were traumatized because of that day's incident and thought that... You don't want me to touch you! I don't know-" I rudely cut him off my kissing him I his lips.

(A/N: eww married couple and their romance *closing my eyes.* Go!! Why are you all looking at me? Read the next paragraphs. Iam already is dying with shy🤐🙈).

  He immediately grabbed my waist and pulled me in his arms. " I never knew that you wanted me too. Or else I wouldn't have ignored you." He mumbled breathlessly. I again pulled him into a kiss making him chuckle. I slapped his mouth watering chest.

          His hands went inside my top startling me. He cupped my bare waist and started kissing my neck making me for crazy. I tilted my head giving him more access to my neck as he hungrily attacked it.

         He switched our position so that now Iam laying in the couch he laid on me but didn't kept his weight. His hands travelled all over my body and stopped right down my chest. Looking into my eyes he slowly kissed my lips.

             "If I go any further from here trust me I cant stop myself and will do 'it'." He said sending shivers to my spine.
   
               "Then do it.." I said breathlessly. "No... I want our first to be more beautiful... I don't want it to be heat of the moment. Get ready tomorrow. I will take you out." He said now nuzzling my neck while I pouted.

              " Don't do that sweetheart. Once I start doing ‘it’ with you... You will be always tied to our bed. I won't leave you once I start..." He said making me blush. That night we cuddled a lot trying to keep our sexual desire apart... Which we succeeded. I can't wait for tomorrow.....

         In this moment I realized that... How much I love this man. With each second passing I can feel my love grow for him... Iam in love with this man so much that I can feel myself drowning in it.  Iam afraid that I won't be coming out again... And to be honest I don't want to come out too..

Here is the Chapter ❤️
