Preet slowly opened her eyes with difficulty. Her head feels heavy as she opens her eyes. She let out a tired sigh and blinked her eyes to clear her vision.
"Finally you wake up," she turned her head hearing a familiar voice to find Anaya sitting on the sofa near the window.
She frowns seeing her and tries to sit on the bed but screams in pain as she unknowingly puts pressure on her wrist.
"Aishâ¦" Anaya ran to her seeing her painful expression. And took her hand in her.
Preet groans in pain and looks at her hand to see it wrapped in a crepe bandage.
"Who did this?" Preet asked although she knew but still to confirm.
"Of course, ..me. If you remember, I am studying medicine, " Anaya said, rolling her eyes at her.
Preet looks down at her as she lightly caresses her wrist.
"Thank you,"
"Don't thank me. I know help in the morning so now we are even," she said in her ever arrogant tone.
"Take the painkiller. It will help. Did you eat something," Preet shook her head at her.
Anaya sighed and said,
"I will send someone with your food then you can eat medicine,"
"No one will do that. Your mother threatened everyone not to do any of my work," she told her looking at her with a blank face.
Anaya looked at her with a frown not believing her mother could do something like this.
"Stop lying. Why would she do that?" Preet smiled and let out a humorless chuckle.
"That you should ask her, " Anaya looked at her face and went out of the room.
Preet got down off the bed and walked inside the washroom to freshen up.
Sitting on the bed, she takes her phone and sees 6 missed calls from Veer.
She calls him back but his call goes to voice mail.
Thinking he might be busy, she stops calling him and orders food online. She felt like fainting at any time due to extreme hunger.
She went downstairs by taking support from the wall and railing. As she reaches there, Urmila and Sumitra are talking but stop seeing her. Preet walked past them and taking the parcel, she walked into the kitchen.
Anaya came down the stairs in a hurry and went outside after telling Urmila that she was going out.
After eating the food, Preet put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher. She started cleaning the table as she was the last one to eat.
Suddenly she leaves the cleaning towel on the towel and runs inside the kitchen covering her mouth with her palm.
Urmila and Sumitra look at her before Sumitra realizes something. She can hear her throwing up. Her eyes widened in shock at the reason for her state.
She looks at Urmila, who is still looking confused.
"This should have happened?" She whispered in shock.
"What Ma? What are you looking like this?" she asked in confusion.
Preet comes out of the kitchen with a tired pale face. She sighs deeply, feeling exhausted after throwing up everything she just eats.
Her stomach couldn't take spicy food after a whole day of hunger. That is why she avoids outside food. Even her own restaurant food didn't suit her.
She placed her palm on her tummy feeling pain there and lightly rubbed it to feel better.
Now Urmila's eyes widen. She looks at Sumitra who is equally stunned.
"No.." Urmila whispered in a daze.
She looked at Preet and felt unknown fear and anger inside her.
She saw Preet coming out of the kitchen slowly looking tired and pale. And went upstairs not even looking at them for a second.
"Our fear has come true," Sumitra said with hatred as she looked at Urmila.
"Preet!!" Urmila let out an angry scream as she held her head between her hands.
Smiling at her phone, Preet looks at Veer with love.
"You seem tired," Veer asked, looking at her face through the screen.
"Really?" she said softly with a small smile.
"Did you overwork yourself?" He narrowed his eyes on her but she just chuckled.
"Why are you so worried, Veer? It's nothing like that. Also, I am not going to a restaurant these days," she told him.
"Why? Are you unwell?"
"No, I just don't feel this going anywhere these days. I become lazy since you have gone,"
He suddenly smirks at her, making her raise her eyebrow at him.
"Don't worry you won't feel lazy after I come. I will keep you busy with meâ¦in our bed, what say, hmm?" Preet looks at him with wide eyes and slowly her cheeks turn into a deep red shade.
Veer chuckled at her flushed and embarrassed face.
"You know you look so beautiful with a blushing face just like a doll," she pouted, hiding a small smile that was threatening to come on her face.
"Don't talk stupid things with me. Did you have your dinner," she asked, distracting him from the topic.
"As long as I remember you enjoy when we do those stupid things,"
"Veer!!" she whined angrily, making him laugh.
"Oh yeah, I had my dinner, Biwi," he said, seeing her annoyed with his teasing.
She rolls her eyes but feels happy seeing him so playful.
They talk about his day and things from here and there.
"You should go to sleep now. You have a meeting tomorrow," Veer sighed loudly and nodded.
"Hmm, you also go to sleep,"
Preet smiles sadly, nodding her face.
"Come back soon," She said suddenly feeling emotion at the thought of not being able to feel his warmth and looking into his soft gaze.
"I will, don't worry. Take care," he assured in his soft gentle tone.
She nodded and smiled forcefully before he cut the call.
She hugged her phone to her chest leaned back against the couch and looked at the bright moon.
She stares blankly at the sky as her whole day flashes in her mind. No matter how much she told herself not to feel bad about their words and behavior but she couldn't help it. She considered Urmila like a mother figure and always cared for and respected her sincerely but seeing her hateful behavior she felt heartbroken and sad.
She can be tolerant if she hates her only. But more than her, she loathes Veer. The person she literally brought up and was like a mother to him. She was with him from his childhood and knows him better.
She sighs deeply feeling her head mess up all because of the chaos going on in her life.
Limping inside her bedroom she went to sleep after having a little snack which she ordered online.
After a week
Preet was coming back from her restaurant. She stops her car on the signal and waits for it to turn green.
She turned her head to the right while lightly drumming her fingers on the steering wheel but suddenly her action halted when her eyes fell on the person in the car beside hers.
At the same time, the signal turned green and the car went away. Preet quickly went behind that car.
"Anayaâ¦who is in the car with her?" she thinks seeing a boy in her car.
She saw the car turn toward Rajvansh Villa's lane before stopping just a street away from Villa.
Preet also stops her car on the corner but she can see them.
Anaya and the boy get out of the car. Anaya was about to walk away when that boy held her wrist and pulled her toward him.
Preet can't see his face but looking at them she can say Anaya was struggling in his hold. She was about to get out of the car when suddenly Anaya pushed him away, making that guy stumble a few steps back.
Preet stopped when Anaya went away toward their house leaving the boy in shock and anger.
She saw the boy glaring at Anaya's back before getting inside his car and going away at high speed.
Preet was confused because the anger and annoyance on Anaya's face were very unusual.
What happened just now and the look that guy gave to Anaya was bothering Preet. He didn't give her good vibes.
She was relaxed thinking that finally Anaya got rid of that pervert toxic boyfriend of hers. She didn't like him and his weird behaviors with Anaya.
She also made her way to Rajvansh Villa behind Anaya.
No, today she is not going to tell her to make her understand this time. She didn't have enough strength in her to deal with her stupid childish behavior. Also, she is done with her, giving lectures not to behave like a stupid teenager and trust any guys with good looks and their sweet fake words.
As she stepped inside the living she was welcomed by darkness. She frowns thinking why the lights are off. It's not late enough. She came at her usual time.
But keep that thought aside, she climbs the stairs carefully. Her food and hand are good now but sometimes her wrist hurts when she puts too much pressure there.
As she opened the door of her bed, she felt sudden warmth and a very familiar fragrance.
"Veer.." she whispered and a smile formed on her face. Her sad, tired face instantly brightened up.
Throwing her sandals and bag aside, she stepped inside the room in excitement.
She frowned not finding him in the room but then she heard noise from the washroom.
Without thinking anything, she went inside the bathroom but stopped at the entrance. She gulped seeing Veer showering looking so hot and seductive.
Veer suddenly turned his head, feeling the presence near him. As his eyes fell on nervous-looking Preet, a smirk formed on his face.
Preet felt goosebumps on her body when he came out of the shower, in his boxers only, while staring deep into her eyes.
Her lashes moved down suddenly, feeling shy yet excited.
Suddenly a gasp let out from her lips, as he yanked her into his arms. Her hands went to his shoulders because of his sudden movement. She blinked her eyes looking at his charming face.
"Did my wife miss me so much that she is even letting me shower, hmm?" She just smiled at him and hugged him tightly, hiding her face in his neck.
"I love you," she whispered against his neck, circling her arms around his neck possessively.
Veer tightened his hold around her and kissed her head lovingly. He hauled her in his arms and walked inside the shower cabin with her.
She smiled at him and placed her lips on his, kissing him gently. Then he took the lead and soon their unholy sounds were heard in the bathroom.
Laying bare under the cover in each other's arms, they enjoy the warmth of their body. Veer is playing with her small hand by lightly caressing her soft skin.
While Preet is staring at him with her soft gaze, admiring him openly. Veer turns toward her and smiles looking at her open affection for him.
"Don't look at me, Biwi. Or I will melt under your intense gaze,"
"I want you to melt so that I will collect you in my arms," she whispered near his face and sucked his lower lips sensually, earning a low groan from him.
"You don't know how much I miss you, Veer. Never knew you became so important to me that I felt incomplete without you. My life feels meaningless without you. I wanted to lose myself in you. Cage me in your heart so that I won't have to stay away from you ever," She whispered in her heavy voice while peppering kissing all over his face and neck. Tears are flowing from her eyes unknowingly.
Veer caresses her bare back gently and has his eyes closed feeling her soft lips on his burning skin. He felt himself turning on, at her innocent yet bold action.
He swiftly turned her on her back and came above her. As he looks at her teary doe eyes, he sighs softly and kisses her eyes before wiping her tears with his thumb.
"We will always be together and happy, I promise you. I won't leave you ever, Preet," he lovingly said to her and kissed her forehead showing his care and affection.
"I love you Veer," she told him, looking at him with her glossy eyes looking like a cute little baby.
"I know, love. You don't have to say that. Your these beautiful eyes are enough for me to know that,"
Saying he took her in a deep slow kiss before they lost in each other again.
Preet opens her eyes lazily and tries to move but a heaviness on her stops her from moving.
She looks down and sees Veer sleeping with his face cuddled in her chest. She smiles slightly and kisses his head lightly.
He is really here with her. So last night was real. She was not dreaming.
"Veer.." she called him in her sweet voice while stroking his hair.
"Wake up now," he sighs deeply against her naked chest tickling her skin.
He moves slightly and then opens his eyes. Blinking a few times, he rolls on the bed to lie on the bed on his back. He looks at Preet who is trying to sit on the bed while holding a cover hiding her chest.
"Good morning," she wished him in her sweet voice, making him softly. He also sat on the bed greeting her back in his deep hoarse voice due to sleep.
"I need to go to the office early today. I have some important work. I will go shower first, Hmm," he told her in a hurry after looking at the time.
"Okay. I will prepare breakfast then," She was about to take his shirt from the side but he stopped her.
"No need. I will eat in the office. You don't trouble yourself. Just take a rest," he assured and walked into the washroom in his boxers only.
When he comes out of the bathroom after showering, he sees Preet standing near their bed, wearing his shirt. He noticed his clothes on the bed.
"You don't do this. I would have managed for today," he told her softly and then shook his head when she held his shirt out for him to wear.
She helped him by wearing his shirt. Then she went inside the closet to find a matching tie for him while he wore his remaining clothes.
"Eat on time, don't forget that, okay? Take care," Preet said in her sweet firm voice looking into his eyes.
"Hmm..you too. And take a day off today, you seem tired," he said worriedly, caressing her cheeks.
"And whose fault was it, hm?" she asked, narrowing her eyes at him. He chuckled.
"Yours,.." he told her with a teasing smile.
She gasped at him and lightly slapped his chest making him laugh out loud.
"What? You were the one who started it. And seduce your poor husband," he told her and quickly pecked her lips.
"And you are the most innocent person in this world, my poor husband," she playfully narrowed her eyes at him.
"Not when my beautiful wife breath heavily under me and begs for-"
"Ahh..stop!! You are so shameless, Veer. Go away. You are getting lateâ¦go." she screamed before he could complete his sentence.
He laughed at her flushed face. She started pushing him toward the door while scolding him.
He held her hands as they reached the doorstep.
He smiles at her and kisses her palms.
"Stay insideâ¦" he whispered, looking at her body covered in his shirt only.
"I am going now. Take care. And rest well so we can be naughty tonight," he whispered, giving her a teasing look.
"You-" he cut her with a quick kiss on her lips and went away giving a teasing smile.
She giggles and closes the door of her room.
"Stupid.."
She murmured while smiling brightly and walked toward the bathroom to get ready for the day.
Sumitra came into the kitchen when Preet was making herself tea. She looked at Preet's glowing face and felt her inside burning.
Preet turned around to go with a cup of tea in her hand when she intensely came in front making the hot tea fall on her hands.
Preet let out a painful hiss and the cup fell from her hands, breaking it into pieces.
"Oh my god!! I am so sorry. I don't know you were turning," Sumitra consoled, showing fake concern to her.
She held her red burnt hand and looked at her with a fake apologetic face.
"It's okayâ¦" Preet said with a forced smile but her hand was burning badly.
She freed her hand from her and placed her hand under the cold water. She hissed again in pain because her hand was throbbing and irritating badly.
Sumitra smirks evilly and making an innocent face she again apologizes.
"Nani Ji, I am fine. Don't worry, it is not hurting more," Preet said, feeling irritated with her as she knew about her fake worry.
Saying one last sorry, Sumitra went away leaving Preet in pain. She smirks thinking something then looks at Preet.
"This pain is nothing. I hope you love my surprise,"
Preet pout looking at her hand which now turned deep red due to burnt. She gently applies ointment on the wound while hissing. She blows air as the ointment is irritating the burn skin.
"Aghh!! Why I am so clumsy, God!!" she sighed looking at the ceiling, done with her carelessness. Just now her wrist and foot got well, and now this.
She sighs at herself then pouts sadly at her injury.
Veer was in a meeting when one of the employees came running inside. He went to Veer and whispered something to him.
Suddenly his calm expression turned confused. He looked at the employee and then nodded,
"Ladies and gentlemen, the meeting is adjourned for now. I have something important come up," saying he went out of the room followed by his PA.
As he reached the waiting area of his floor, he looked at the two police officers and greeted them.
"Officers, what's the matter? How may I help you," Veer asked them.
"We have a complaint against you, Mr. Rajvansh. You have to come with us to the police station for inquiry,"
This shocked Veer to the core.
"What?! About what, may I know?" he asked.
"Under domestic violence and harassing your wife," his eyes wide in shock. This is impossible. He can never believe that.
"You must be mistaken, Officer. There is nothing like that. My wife can never do this," he said confidently but the other smirked at him.
"Please don't waste our time, Mr. Rajvansh. We will have a long talk in the station. Please come with us,"
Veer takes a long breath and decides to handle things with calmness. He follows the officer to their car and leaves for the station.
He wanted to talk with Preet but they took his phone. He knows very well someone is trying to defame him.
Preet served water to Damini as she just come back from her maternal house. Damini nodded at her in acknowledgment and drank the water.
Suddenly Urmila came there with her mother. She touched her feet.
"When did you come, Ma? You didn't inform me," Urmila asked, giving her a small smile.
"Abhi Aye hein. I think this is my home and I don't need to tell anyone to come here, right," Urmila's smile fell but she quickly gave her a tight smile and nodded her head.
"Of course, Ma,"
Preet went inside the kitchen. As she entered, Sumitra was already there doing something. Seeing Preet, she smiles at her.
"Arre Preet, have some juice dear. See how tired you are looking. Take care of yourself," she said, forwarding a glass of orange juice.
"Thank you, Nani Ji. But I am full," she politely denied it and turned off the gas switch.
"I insist. I am really sorry for my previous behavior. I am really wrong about you. I am sorry,"
"It's okay, Nani ji,"
"Still, I am genuinely sorry. You are such a sweetheart, Preet," she smiled at her feeling weird at her sweet nature toward her.
"I heard Veer come back last night," she asked.
Preet opened her mouth to say but her phone ring cut her off.
"Okay, I am coming. Till then keep the clients busy. Show them our luxury menu," she cut the call and went out in a hurry.
Sumitra scoffs at her, seeing her going upstairs in a hurry.
Urmila was talking with Damini as they were having their evening snacks. At the same time, a maid came running to them.
"Madam, the Police are here and asking for everyone," Damini frowns, then looks at Urmila who is also as confused as her.
They walk out of the dining room. The police officers stood up seeing them.
"Ji kahiye, officer. What made you come here?" Damini asked in a polite yet powerful voice.
"We have a case filed against your family, Mrs. Rajvansh. You have to come with us to the police station for further investigation," as the Police officer told her. They become shocked and too stunned to react.
Urmila looks at Damini with shock and a scared face. While Damini herself is terrified at the information.
"What are you saying, sir? Why does anyone do this to us? And you filed the case against us?" Damini felt humiliated and angry but she kept her calm.
"You will get answers to every question in the police station. Just cooperate with us. Please," Urmila felt tears in her eyes as one of the lady constables gestured to her to come with them.
"Ma.."
"Don't worry. Nothing will happen. Let's see what's the matter," Damini assures her, seeing her scared face.
When they are going with the police, Sumitra is looking at them with a smirk but seeing Urmila's fearful expression she feels pain.
"I am sorry Urmi. But don't worry I will make everything alright,"
She whispered.
As they reached the police station, Veer was already present there talking with the inspector.
"I just want to know who filed the case against my family, sir," Veer asked, looking angry as they were annoying him by asking stupid questions and forcefully accusing him and his family for doing violence and assaulting his wife mentally and physically.
And he told them he had not done anything like this for a thousand times but they were not ready to hear him.
"Veer, What is happening? Who is behind all this?" Veer turns and looks at his Dadi and Choti Ma.
Now he felt furious seeing his family in the police station when they were innocent.
"How dare you bring my family here without any solid proof. They are innocent. Nothing is proof yet," he said angrily to the inspector.
"I suggest you to control your anger, Mr. Rajvansh or it won't be time to put you behind bars. Instead of feeling guilty for abusing your wife, here mister is showing his arrogance," Damini still for a second hearing the officer.
"What nonsense are you babbling, officer? I know my grandson, he can never think about hurting Preet. And you are accusing him of abuse," Damini told him, glaring at the inspector.
"Of course you would support him after all the whole family is involved in domestic violence. I will make sure you all will stay behind bars as long as possible," The police inspector said while eyeing them.
"Don't worry your remaining family is coming to join you soon,"
Urmila sat on the bench while crying silently. She turned numb. Her brain stops working in fear. Don't know what will happen to them.
"We didn't do anything. Stop accusing us for such horrible crimes," Veer said, gritting his teeth.
"On what basis, you keep us in the police station," Damini asked.
"We have a witness, Mrs. Rajvansh. They must be here- they are here,"
They turned to see but looking at them their eyes widened. Damini looked at them in disbelief.
"Why did you do this?" she asked in a hard tone as her cold gaze fixed on them. While Veer is in shock.
Urmila glares at them and looks at them with her hard gaze. Feeling her inside burning in anger.
