"What are you going to ask from me this time" sonakshi blinked at dev.

"Hmm.... promise me no matter what you are leaving this house" it was a request from him which really looked very strange to her.

"Why?" She questioned.

"For safety reasons. I'm here to protect you and you should promise me that you won't go out of this house" the way he spoke made her understand dev wasn't going to leave without finding the reasons behind her accident.

"Okay tell me our love story" she
Looking deep into his eyes and waiting for him to speak.
She was really showing a curious face to him.

"At the age of 11 I first saw you. In a beautiful long frock, you held a smile on your lips. Everything went really fast for me admiring you. Probably you must be 7 or 6yr old but was quite tall compared to kiss of that age." The way he was narrating the story made her go back to her childhood. A feeling of remembering who exactly he was made her jump out of her place.

"Now don't tell me, you knew me as a cry baby and spent one whole night with me in my aunt's house to just console me? That sweet little boy can never be you. Such rude man! Nooo" she spoke in shock not believing that they had a connect from a long time back.

"Good atleast you remember that. Yes doll, I looked at you cry from the Windows of my room. That crying face really didn't suit you and it was making my heart drop."

He moved over to her side. She turned to look at him as he brushed her hair behind her ear, his fingers lingering on her cheek, making her blush. "Fear of touch" she whispered as he took back his hands. "I still remember that day, you entered inside my room like a thief making me get scared. Having no other options I literally kept my mouth shut thinking you will tell my aunt that I plucked the flowers from your garden. You know what? Some where that day I felt like you should always be with me." While speaking to him about it she was blushing harder and harder and he was admiring her cheeks turn like a tomato.

"Actually I remember even writing about that day. Do you know read, but promise you should laugh as I must have  sounded kiddish" she said and for which he accepted without thinking any further.

"I remember saving it in my laptop. I will show you tomorrow" this time she was trying to hid one more emotion of fear in her face. "What about now?" He questioned her raising his eyebrows.

"Fine..." She said pulling out her laptop.

Her laptop didn't hold any passwords, dev felt that as little mysterious. She then clicked on to MY COMPUTER and then too many files arrived. "Half of them our trash" sonakshi said trying to delete a folder named as C- DISC dev asked her not to delete and requested her to quickly show what she wanted him to know. Opening the file she handed over the laptop to dev

10 years back, I met a boy, he is really so sweet. I felt so protective to be with him. When aunty scold me and I was crying today he consoled me.

"You, just leave from here" I said to him after noticing him jump into the room I was in through the Windows. "Shh... if you speak anything further, I will tell jatin's mom you plucked the flowers from my garden" he blackmailed me but also wiped my tears.

I held my breath, looking at my door with wide eyes. If my aunt  caught him here she would go crazy, or rather kill me.

"I saw you through the window. I just wanted to come and make sure you were alright," he whispered back,  hugging me tightly. That sudden affection from a person made me some where like him.

I still requested him to leave, not wanting to die but all he could tell me was "I’m not leaving until you stop crying" I quickly wiped my tears and smiled, that's when he jumped back to his house again

That was the first and last time, I honestly met a sweet guy.

P.S:- In future if I meet him, I should ask sorry for plucking the flowers in his garden and say thank you for wiping my tears.

"Reason behind you writing this hun?" Dev questioned her.

"In my 12th grade they asked about is there anyone you want to thank or say sorry, I only had to thank this sweet little boy I knew" she giggled a little and dev decided to end about everything they had to speak.

"Then how did we meet? Like I don't remember meeting you in my college or anywhere else. How was our meet after a long time? " Was her next question.

"You sound sleepy, I will tell you tomorrow" he replied handing over the tablet and a glass of water to her.

"I won't sleep until guy tell me. Okay atleast tell why was I looking so damn dull in that wedding picture of us. It really looks like you forced me to marry you. Isn't it?" He felt she was literally pulling his legs not forgetting any incidents of their life.

"No not at All, I didn't to force you to marry me doll. Actually I said that make up doesn't suit you, May be that's the reason you were angry on me" he told and tried his way to escape from that room.

"I believed. Why you also look upset?" She asked as he was standing in the door step. "Me... oh well, I was tired working continuously the previous day and looking at you dull, even my face changed. Now enough go to sleep. It's too late" he said shutting the door tightly and walked straight to his room.

"Why do I feel like she didn't forget anything and what's with this fear of touch?" That was the big question running in his mind and not allowing him take rest.

First, let me learn about the full history of sonakshi. He made it work opening a new fresh file with her name as the tittle. The flow chart started.

He decided to first pen down what he knew about her.

She lost her parents in a very young age. Her parents died in an accident. Sonakshi's guardian was her aunt, she always had an eye on all the properties Sonakshi owned in a young age. After learning about she can never own her properties sonakshi's aunt send her to an orphan age. She grew homeless and parent-less.

Sometimes jatin visited sonakshi in her place and most of the times dev accompanied jatin. Sonakshi hardly made friends with anyone. She was always surrounded with books.
She did her degree in medical at Delhi. She completely became a neurologist and married dev.

This was the only half story dev knew about sonakshi. He was waiting to know what happened in her college days? Because he stopped having an eye on her from the day she went to college. It didn't happen because he lost interest on her but he stopped eyeing her to be loyal to jatin and considering his words. Jatin was honestly very possesive about sonakshi he didn't allow his mom to keep hand on Sonakshi or any other person attack her. Jatin was definetly sonakshi's backbone and dev knew that too good.

Keeping aside the work dev decided to call the doctor who treated sonakshi. He had a doubt whether she really lost her memory. "Is anything wrong sir" the doctor asked in a panic tone. "Nothing I just need to see sonakshi's brain scan or MRI scan you too. I have few queries." That made the other person on the line get scared. If he sees the reports he will for sure find out the truth. The doctor decided to speak up the truth. "Sonakshi actually didn't have any memory loss.  She asked me to inform you she lost her memory. She threatens me with her life. I decided to tell you a lie. Sir, she's actually suffering from brain contractions but not memory lose. Somewhere 4yrs or 5yrs she would or might not have forgotten too. She needs some personal care." The doctor said and that somewhere made dev really get angry on Sonakshi. "That means she forgot but not really lost her memories" he spoke before ending the call.

He didn't like to believe that she was playing the fool with him. Even after knowing he genuinely didn't love her on the day of their marriage. That was it for him, now he felt like it was time to pull her legs. At the same time he wanted her to justify to him for lying about the memory loss.

Dev was trying hard to sleep, he really wasn't able to close his eyes at all.
He felt like someone was screaming. He wanted to know whether sonakshi was safe and moved out of his room. As he was stepping closer to her room, he heard the scream get loud. Knowing it was coming only from sonakshi's room dev forced himself to walk fast.

When he got inside her room, he looked at her shivering and screaming. He was afraid to look at her in that position. He felt a pain deep in his chest which tore him apart for leaving her alone. He wanted desperately to wake her up by holding her to him close and kissing the worst dreams of her. As she says she fears his touch he decided to give her space but that was just hurting him.

"Doll..." His voice came out in a broken whisper. "Please wake up" he tried hard to not touch her.

"This just the begining....." Those words kept on repeating in her mind. Breaking that random voice dev yelled a little more louder.

Her eyes slowly opened, believing she was in a better place. Fully opening her eyes to the dark room, she saw a shadowy dev a step away with a glow surrounding him from the dim light.

"What happened?" He asked brushing her hair.

"Bad dream" she gave a one word answer, her shivers didn't escape from his eyes.

Dev took a step closer to her. "That wasn’t just a Bad dream, was it?"

Wrapping herself tighter in the blanket, she showed him how scared she got. Sonakshi had no strength to deny that was just her bad dream. That was something which happened in her life, she knew it.

From the look on her face, he understood it was far from her bad dreams, but definetly close to her memories.

"Go back to sleep" he said and offered her a glass of water.

"You leave, I will take care. Sorry for waking you up" she whispered sipping the water. "Shh.... You mean to me doll" dev told and was about to leave  from the dark room.

"Dev...." She called for him.

"Tell me doll" he asked coming back to her.

"I can feel like I'm so used to sleeping with you. I don't feel good to sleep alone here." She didn't know what she said but all she wanted to say was stay with me!.

"Fine. I can understand." He replied making a pressure on the other side of the bed.

"Don't worry. I'm always there for you" His voice was soft yet strong, somehow making her feel safe. She smiled still maintaining a gap between them in the bed.

They way she behaved made him more anxious to know what she is hiding from him.

She thought his hand was going to reach out to her but he turned the other side from her and went to sleep.
