Ranveer 's POV

I am sitting in my car trying to analyse the new information. I was right about the fake call on my wedding day. It wasn't a prank call but pre - planned. Someone was fully aware that I would called if any such situation arise so they intentionally did this to bring me out of my house.

Priyanka was their target. Thank God they saw the door closed and left thinking no one's at home otherwise I don't know what would have happened and what would have I done.

Even some people tried to sneak in the Oberoi Mansion. Fortunately Shivaay bhaiya is very careful when it comes to the security. This was all a big game plan. Someone is targeting the Oberoi family. If they got hold of any of the family member then they could easily blackmail Shivaay bhaiya. I can't let this happen at any cost. He's the only one who....

I must ensure their security. It's not only duty as the ACP but also as the son-in-law of that house.

Especially of Priyanka. She's completely my responsibility now. I promised bhaiya and I never back off from my words no matter what. I quickly dialled Nimbu 's no.

' Hi ' she said in an excited voice.

' Nimbu, it's me Ranveer. I know you're expecting someone else but what I've to say is very important so listen carefully. '

' Kya yaar sare romantic mood ki tayetaye fiss kar di tum ne. Bolo kam kya hai? ( What man! You have spoiled all the romantic work. Say the work)

' I want you to provide police protection and keep a watch on Priyanka for 24*7. Her life's in danger. Make sure no unknown person comes around her especially with any weapon. Follow her everywhere she goes. '

' What's the matter Ranveer? ' she asked being tensed.

' I'll tell you later. '

' Ok Mr husband,I would do it. '

' Nimbu, inform me only if a problem arise. I am trusting you with her security because you're my good friend. Don't make a mistake. '

' Yes sir.'

I started to drive. After an hour I came to my house. I just want to sleep now.

After locking all doors and checking all windows I went to the bedroom. Priyanka was peacefully sleeping on the bed with a smile adoring her face. I guess she's dreaming.

I quickly changed my dress. I saw that few hair strands on her face were disturbing her. I sat beside her and tucked them behind her ear. She turned to the side. Now my hand is now under her face touching her cheek.

Her soft hands quickly grabbed my arm. Her hold was gentle yet firm.

' I love you Ranveer. Please don't leave me alone. ' She said in her sleep. Is she dreaming about me?

I slowly removed my hand so that she won't get disturbed. She looks so cute and adorable when she's sleeping just like a baby. I felt an urge to pull her cheeks but stopped as I don't want to disturb her beautiful sleep and dream.

She was so jealous of Nimbu today. I never knew she can be so possessive. To think that she can kiss me in front of all those people and media was like nest to impossible.

She looked more pretty in that possessive avatar. Her lips felt so sweet with a taste of strawberries. She's more sweeter than any dessert.

Wait a minute, what am I thinking? Like seriously, how can I be so cheesy? What's happening to me?

It's true that I accept Priyanka as my wife but I hate her. I really hate her to the bottom of my heart. I just can't ever forgive her for whatever she did to my sister. How can any brother? If even her own brother would have been at my place then I am sure he would do the same.

Few drops appeared in my eyes as I remembered that dreadful night which ruined my life, all thanks to you Priyanka.

Flashback (3 yrs ago in Pune)

It was a dark stormy night. It was rainy heavily. I drove the car as fast as it can go. My heartbeat was increasing by each passing second. Never in my life, I had been so afraid for anything.

' Slow down Ronie. It's not a plane.'

Nimbu said from the back seat ti which I paid no heed.

' Relax Ranveer, everything is gonna be alright. She's fine. Don't worry. '

Abeer, my friend, on the passenger seat, tried to pacify me but only her smile could calm my heart now. I just want to see that she's ok. I don't want anything more than this in the world.

I applied brakes as I saw my car parked on the side of the hilly road. I jumped out of the car and ran to my car.

'She's not here. Where did she go?' I said banging my hands on the car in frustration.

' Relax. She won't have gone far. Let's look around. ' Abeer said.

We again sat in his car and I drove downhill. After sometime, we saw a little shop by the roadside.

' Suniye bhaisaheb, kisi ladki ko dekha hai aapne aas pas kuch der pehle? ( Listen brother, have you seen a girl around here a little while ago? ) '

' Saheb, aaj humne yahaan kisi ladki ko toh nahi dekha par kuch der pehle ek ambulance ek ladki ko pas hi ke ek hospital me lekar gayi thi. ( Sir, today I haven't seen any girl around here but a while ago, an ambulance took a girl to a hospital nearby. )

An unknown fear crept into my heart. With my every breath I was just praying for her safety.

Abeer quickly took the hospital 's address and drove the car. I was too blank to do anything or think straight. Nimbu was trying to console me but I didn't hear even a single word. I was numb with fear. I got just pray and do nothing else for her. I never felt so helpless in my life. Even in the worst of the situation, I always had the control but today I was felt so weak and small.

I don't know when we reached the hospital. I just followed Abeer 's lead. I know he could handle this situation way better than I could. He was talking to the receptionist, showing her some image in his phone. Tears had started to form in my eyes which made my vision blur. I was trying hard not to let them fall. I didn't want to lose hope.

Abeer took me to some room. He looked so tensed and worried.

' Be strong Ranveer, be strong. ' That was all he said before opening the door of the room. I knew what he meant and what I am going to see. Still in some corner my heart, I still had hope so I prayed to God for the last time. With shaky steps, I entered the room.

There I saw her, lying on the bed with all kinds of machines attached to her body. She looked so pale and fragile. Her life hanging by a thread. With shaky hands, I took her hand in mine.

' Nooooooo. This can't be true. Please Aaru get up. Please Aradhya don't leave me. '

I fell to my knees by the bedside still holding her hand. I don't know when tears started to flow from my eyes. They just flowed like a waterfall. Abeer and nimbu hugged from each side, trying to console me.

Flashback ends

Hi everyone. So here I am done with another part. This part revealed quite a few things. Hope you like it.
Thanks for all the votes and comments. They really inspire me a lot to write more.
A good news for you all. My school has finally closed and my summer vacation has finally started. (I am so happy.) So I would have considerably more time to write my book. 😊😊😊
But don't hope too much from me. I still have my coaching classes and holidays homework to do. 😜😜😜
