***Author's Note : In this chapter, Mrunal is trying to find her long lost serenity that she seems to get by being with the one person that she yearned for so long - her Saviour, hence the selection of the bgm - Alaipayuthe Song...

Mumbai

Kumar residence

Dhiraj bid bye to his family for his military training and made sure that his parents don't hide the Mrunal issue from her new family.

But Deepika was hesitant and told him that she would once the issue is cooled down as she feared for her daughter's safety.

Screech!

Mrunal jogged towards her brother who hugged her tightly looking over Rajeev who was silent.

He hugged his bestie and whispered "...please take care of my sister...she needs her saviour to protect her from all the dangers...promise me, Raj!!"

Rajeev covered Dhiraj's hands with his and nodded to look after Mrunal with all his might.

Mrunal was feeling sad on knowing that she would be able to see her brother only after two month for his wedding.

The family had to postpone the wedding as the military officials called back all their soldiers for a sudden mission.

Nair Mansion

Mrunal was helping out the maid to prepare the food for the family for the evening. 

"...Chech?!!...." Niti came in the kitchen to enquire with Mrunal on her problem. Mrunal was listening to her as she shifted the curry from the stove and explained the maid to transfer it to the bowl.

As she was making the vegetable soup for Rajeev, she heard Niti talk about Vineeth not taking her words seriously on their relationship.

"...Niti...give him some time...maybe he wants tosettle down first...you know before he wants to take your relationship to thenext level..." Mrunal then started making the sweet dish after keeping the soupto cool down. Rajeev liked cold soup in comparison to the hot soup asinstructed by Sonia to Mrunal.

As Mrunal fried the flour balls in the wok, Niti explained to her that she had waited for more than 2 years to make him confess. But to her disappointment, Vineeth would only consider their relationship as being only as live in.

Mrunal halted her actions, looked at the naïve girl and replied "...don't worry...I will tell Rajeev to talk to him...hm?...for now...help me make the sugar syrup...please?!!!"

Niti then saw the way Mrunal pleaded her with her doe eyes and chuckled to help her sister-in-law.

Czech, The HQ

"...and?!! What are you suggesting? That I give up my position, huh?...don't you dare to advise me...on something like this, huh?!!" the man-boy growled at his men who dared to raise his voice at the failure of another shipment being captured by the authorities.

He took out his katana cutting off the man's head with a grunt, making the others flinch.

"...don't any of you dare to open your filthy mouth in front of the Papi...got it?!!!" the angry boy then threw the blood drenched katana on the ground and walked towards his chamber eyeing his mistresses.

"...he is just basking in his glory of getting his father's position...by luck...if it was not for the sudden death of the Papi...we would not have to bear this idiot in that chair...we need a good leader...not a coward like him!!!...call the Black Scorpion...and fix a meeting with the Underboss...I wanna deal with this stupidity asap!!!...." the Consigliere whispered to his associate who nodded at his words, totally agreeing to the situation in hand.

The mafia world which was created by the original Papi was going down because of the once golden rule which would lead the successor to take the throne of the deceased Papi. The consigliere wanted to regulate the new rule of Papi mafia clan, in accordance with the Underboss. But his hands were tied because of the existence of the spoiled brat of a Papi.

The now successor was a spoiled brat who had no credits to his, which made the men vulnerable on his careless decision-making technique.

He was not able to deal with the shipment issue which were getting under the authorities because of his false egoistic behaviour with the bribed off authorities working for the Papi mafia.

So, it was time for the Papi Consigliere to take the matter in his hands and call in the rightful Papi who had actually killed his chosen Papi single-handedly with bare hands. That person deserved to be the next Papi and not the spoiled brat.

In the evening

Nair Mansion, The dining table

Vineeth was smacking his hands on relishing the dishes making Mrunal smile at his antics. Niti chuckled at the way her boyfriend was praising the new bride who was just serving him the other dishes. 

"...Chech...don't makehim too fat...with your love...he will blast!!!.... *chuckles*..." Niti madefun of Vineeth who stopped his eating and glared at her who pulled her tongueto tease him more.

"...Niti!!...its fine...let him have whatever he wants...anyway...when you go back to your busy schedules...you will hardly get any time to have your food properly...so...for now both of you...can have your fill as much as you want...hm?" Saying so Mrunal was happily making them have their fill of the marvellous food that she had made.

Her eyes then went towards Rajeev who had been watching the scene, couldn't help but just gaze at her care for his family.

He turned to walk towards his room, making Mrunal excuse herself to take care of her tired husband.

Rajeev's room

Mrunal saw that Rajeev was drinking the cold water from the mini fridge and his brows were scrunched. 

'...maybe the office is making him tensed again...' Mrunal's wife mind whirled towards the stress that her husband was suffering.

As her soft touch made it to his arms, he tilted his head to see her smiling eyes which relaxed his burning head.

"...Can you talk to Vineeth?..." Her words confused him who asked her.

Mrunal helped him to remove his coat while answering "...he need to tone down his boyish nature...Niti is worried that he is not serious about their relationship...I mean...he is a good lad...but she also need his attention...you know as being his loyal girlfriend...."

"...have they fought?!!...." Rajeev asked her while folding his cuffs and sat on the edge of the bed. Making Mrunal happy that she was able to drift away his stress from the office.

"...No!...oh my god!!!...no Raj!...they have not...on the contrary...they love each other so much...just like us..." saying so, she sat on his lap who caressed her bare waist looking in her almond caring eyes.

"...just...he needs to understand the dynamics of a good relationship...like how you have...how to express your love...in the right manner...at the right time...something like that..." Mrunal was fondly rubbing his hair while being close to his lips making him relaxed with her sweet voice and presence.

"...do talk to him, hm?..." a tensed Mrunal locked her gaze with his, who nodded with a smile at the way his smart wife cared so much about the family.

A smiling Mrunal then caressed his chin moving closer to his lips. He felt her need for a kiss which he fulfilled with his American kiss which she absolutely loved.

He got lost in the moment where Mrunal was lovingly caressing his soft hair, making him forget his tiredness of the day. Her moans made him bring her closer if possible, making him grab her waist tightly not resisting her sensual self in the soft saree.

When her tongue tried to explore his mouth, he jolted back scaring her.

'...the assassins kill their victim with their venomous kiss of death!'

He remembered his training against the mafia assassins and their varied technique to kill their victim with hate and many a times with their lust.

"...um...I need to refresh...I am hungry? *chuckles*...hm?" He excused himself by taking his changing clothes kept by her on the bed.

A rather confused Mrunal shaked it off, arranging his scattered off accessories in its proper place. She then told him to come down for the dinner with her soft voice.

Rajeev was amazed at her aura which was screaming a petite wife trying to please him and his family with her immense care and support.

And on the other hand, being an assassin who had the guts to kill with no remorse.

'...I need to find out the real you... asap...' he felt the warm water shower fall on his cold scared self for himself and his family.

For a few weeks,

Mrunal was totally engaged in her family trying to make their life as comfortable as possible.

Latha would love to engage in the new bride who would at times, make plans to have a ladies small get together in either of the houses.

Prisha would try to avoid the said party but when her Latha mom would insist, she couldn't argue much.

Her confusion was on how Mrunal was able to forget that she was married to the once alive Mafia lord Akash aka Papi and be able to comfortably blend with her current in-laws.

Was it a trauma setback? Or...

Was it fake?

Mrunal however, was too happy in the family surrounding; clearly ignoring the fact that Rajeev was avoiding any kind of intimacy with her. 

Be it him coming late at night or at times sleeping in his study room, she only worried for his physical and mental health with her love and care.

She was content with all that she was receiving from her in-laws, to let her forget her traumatic incident.

Being with her family, was the most important setback for her. She knew the aftermath of what her sin would have on her family and her in-laws, but for now she just wanted to relive her life.

She can think about her tragic death warrant by the hands of the Mafia Capo or the authorities; whenever it may come in the scene.
