Veer opened the door of the cab and helped Preet out of the car. After paying the fare, they walk toward the house while Veer has his arms wrapped around her to help her and support her in walking.
They stepped inside after he opened the lock and made her sit on the sofa carefully. Preet sighs in pain as her side is paining while walking.
Veer went inside the kitchen and came back with a glass of water for her. She drinks the water then places the glass on the table and leans against the backrest of the sofa.
"Let go to the room, so you can rest," she nodded and stood up holding his hands.
She slowly started walking with his support. He tried to pick her up but her wound hurt badly. So he couldn't pick her up.
She sat on the bed and sighed in content before looking at him with a small smile.
"I feel really good now," he chuckled at her and kissed her forehead.
"You rest. I will go prepare our lunch, hmm," He told her but she looked at him with narrow eyes.
"What about your office?" she asked fearing he missed his work because of her.
"I am on leave. My boss happily gave me leave for a week because I managed to secure a huge project for the company, so yeah.. " he said, shrugging off. She nodded and then gave him a proud smile.
"So proud of him. Although it's nothing for my smart and sharp-minded husband," she proudly said which made him happy as she appreciated his work which no one ever did, no matter how much he worked hard or got a billion-dollar deal.
"Okayâ¦now rest I will be back with our food," saying he ran out of the room in a hurry. Preet smiles and closes her eyes to give her body rest.
Sitting in the living room, Veer was giving medicines to her after they had a light lunch. They frown as their bell rings. They shared a look before Veer stood up and went to open the door.
As he opened the door, he saw a little girl standing in front of him with little white flowers in her hand. She grins cutely while looking up at him.
"Hello, tall uncle..I am Riddhi," she said, making his eyebrows raise in amusement.
Her smiling cute face melted his heart,
"Yes, Missâ¦how may I help you?" he asked.
"I am here to meet, Angel Aunty. Is she here?" she cutely asked.
"Angel aunty?" Veer frowned as he looked at her with a questioning look.
"Veer, who is there?" comes Preet's voice.
Veer notices the little girl's face brighten up hearing Preet's voice.
She ran inside the house lightly pushing him. Veer was stunned at her move and opened his mouth but then huffed as she laughed cutely.
He walks behind her and finds her sitting with his wife. He saw them talking while smiling. Then he remembers she is the same girl he once found Preet talking with, in the garden.
"Who is he, Angel aunty?" she asked Preet, furrowing her forehead as she pointed toward Veer.
Preet chuckles at her and then looks at Veer, who is silently listening to their talk sitting on the one seater sofa.
"He is my husband," the little girl gasped, then looked at Preet with big eyes. Both Preet and Veer chuckle at her expression.
"What happened?" Preet asked, still smiling at her.
"He is pretty," she whispered to Preet, making Preet laugh at her. Veer frowned as he couldn't hear her.
"Really?!" Preet asked, making her bobble her head.
Riddhi grinned at her and said,
"Can I give him a few flowers from this?" Preet giggles as she asks her to give Veer flowers that she bought for her.
"Yeahâ¦why not?" She grinned and pulled out four flowers from the bunch of flowers.
She went to Veer and stood in front of him.
He looks amused while Preet is biting her lips to control herself from laughing as the scene is really cute and funny.
"This is for you," she sweetly said, giving flowers to Veer.
"Thank youâ¦but didn't you bring them for her?" she nodded.
"Yes! I don't want you to feel sad. Also you are pretty," she said coolly, making Veer shocked while Preet laughed covering her mouth.
Veer smiled at her and patted her head.
"I don't know I was pretty but thank you for telling, dear,"
Veer mutters dramatically which makes Preet giggle while Riddhi nodded while proudly grinning.
She then sat with Preet and asked her where she was and how she was missing her. Preet patiently listened to her babbling and answered her question telling her that she was a little hurt so she was at the hospital for two days.
After spending an hour with Preet, Riddhi's mother comes to take back and have a casual talk with Preet. They became acquaintances with each other while Veer was cleaning the kitchen.
"I am feeling really tired now. Just wanted to sleep," Preet tiredly said as she lay down on the bed after Veer arranged pillows behind her.
"Just let me change your bandage so you can sleep," he said, taking out the medical box.
She sighs loudly and makes a pout as it hurts so much but she is helpless. He sat beside her on the bed after washing his hand thoroughly.
He looked at her face and smiled lightly,
"I will be gentle," she gave a sad smile and prepared herself for the upcoming pain.
"Just relaxâ¦" he whispered, giving a quick peck on her pouty lips.
He raised his shirt which she was wearing and removed the old bandage. He gently and carefully cleaned the wounded area.
Preet closes her eyes tightly as the cleaning medicine is irritating her wound.
"Bas ho gaya,..relax," Veer said softly while cleaning around her wound. She hisses as he touches her wound and tries to twist her body but he swiftly places his hand on her stomach so that she doesn't move.
He threw the dirty cotton and looked at her eyes closed tightly while she was breathing through her mouth.
He softly caresses her tummy to calm her. Applying the ointment over the wound, he covers it with cotton, ignoring Preet's groans and painful screams. He then wraps the bandage around her waist and secures the end with a tap.
"See it's done," he told her and then pulled down the shirt back like before.
She took a deep shaky breath still closing her eyes as she was feeling sensation around the wounded area.
Veer looked at her for a second then walked inside the bathroom to wash his hands.
Coming out of the bathroom, Veer chuckled seeing Preet sleeping in the position he had left her. He gets on the bed beside her and covers her with the duvet. Placing a kiss on her forehead, he lay beside her, turning to her side. He maintains a little distance because he doesn't want to hurt her.
"Good night," he whispered and held her hand before closing his eyes.
Few days later
Preet is glaring at Veer who royally ignored her glare and flipped the sandwich to toast it.
"Jaan, why are you burning me with your killer gaze," he said as if he didn't know why she was so angry.
"As if you don't know," she mutters, narrowing her eyes while sitting on the dining table.
He chuckled at her and placed a sandwich on the plate and tea for her, he walked to her and sat beside her.
"Okay, enough of a complaint for now. Have you breakfast then take your meds like a good wife," he said and kissed her puffy cheek.
He again went to the kitchen to prepare another sandwich for himself and coffee. They had their breakfast with Preet being angry with him while he tried to persuade her.
So Preet is angry with him as he was ignoring his work and not going to his office for 4 days. She told him a hundred times that she is okay now and can take care of herself but her loving and protective husband turns deaf when she tries to make him understand.
"Okay fine, I will go office from tomorrow, happy?" he said as his ear started bleeding hearing her babbling.
"Yeah, very happy!" Preet said, hugging him tightly and pecking his lips a few times while grinning at him.
Veer rolls his eyes at her and holds her.
"Seriouslyâ¦you are so happy to send your husband to the office. You know, you are weird," he said and earned a punch on his back from her.
"Ouch!!" He let out a fake groan in pain which she also knows is fake and giggled as they pulled away from the hug.
He smiles seeing her laughing and pulls her into a soft intense kiss. She sighs again at his lips and moves her lips along with his.
"I love you," He whispered against her mouth and deepened the kiss, turning her into a breathless mess. Their chest brushed against each other as they were breathing heavily.
They pull away feeling the need to breathe. They smile, staring into each other's faces, and join their foreheads.
"I love you more," Preet whispered looking into his eyes.
A few months later
It's been months since the day of the attack on Anaya and Preet. Now their life can never be more beautiful than it is. There is nothing but bliss in their life. They are happy and content now and couldn't ask for more. They are enjoying the middle-class life.
While Aarav and Avni are ready to welcome their baby. After Veer talked to Aarav regarding their talk in the hospital, Veer felt bad for his brother and then called him. They have a long and heart-to-heart conversation with each other. Veer makes him understand his point of view and Aarav also understands him after whatever he went through, in that house. He thought Veer's action was somewhat reasonable.
Preet also sometimes talks to Avni and asks about her and the baby. Anaya has been staying with Aarav and Avni since then and she is quite happy with them getting the love, care, and attention that she needs at this tender age.
But Urmila's condition worsened. She turned almost lifeless. Everyone maintained distance from her although sometimes Anaya and Avni came to meet her. Seeing them, she breaks down and begs them to come back but Aarav is not ready to forgive her yet. Rajveer mostly stays outside the country to look after the foreign branches of Rajvansh. And when he stayed in the Villa, he gave her the cold shoulder but still she tried her best to talk to him. He ignores and spends his time in the study room.
Damini still stays in the village and spends most of her time in the temple, praying and asking for forgiveness from the almighty and her deceased son and daughter-in-law. That's the only thing that provides a little peace she has longed for all these months thinking about Veer and Preet. But somewhere she is happy for them that they finally left that hell hole and are living happily. Yes, she knows, they are living in Naina's house. Anaya told her.
Urmila now wants nothing but her family back. She is dying every second with them. She even stays away from her mother who still tries to brainwash her mind but she is not in the state to process anything. Sumitra's hate keeps on increasing for Veer and Preet when she notices her daughter is turning mad slowly, without anyone around her to care for her and love her. This reminded her of her dead daughter.
Just as Naina snatched Deepti from her now her son will do the same with her other daughter which she won't let happen. She will not let history repeat itself. Her worry and fear keep on increasing seeing her daughter getting deep into depression.
Another beautiful morning and the sun rays sneaking into a room through the curtains only to find two bodies sleeping entangled with each other just like their soul entangled last night making them tired.
Preet slowly opened her eyes and stretched her body. She blinked her eyes and looked at the clock and sigh tiredly. She moved her sleepy eyes beside and smiled lightly, finding her husband sleeping peacefully, enclosing her in his arms.
She tried to come out of his hold but he tightened it more. She huffs and shakes his body.
"Veer, leave me. I am getting late," he pulled more and groaned near her neck and he hugged her tightly.
"It's Sunday, love," his deep and hoarse voice sent shivers to her spine, making her body feel a ticklish sensation.
"It's 11 in the morning. We are already late, Veer. You can sleep but let me go at least," he opened his eyes and looked at her beautiful glowing face.
He kisses her chin softly making her sigh knowing his intention.
"No, Veerâ¦I am already- mmm" she moans loudly and arcs her back while he smirks.
"Yes,â¦love, you are saying something?" He teased her while sensually rubbing her thigh.
He slammed his lips on her red one and kissed her deeply and passionately. He comes above her and pins her hands beside her head.
The kiss then slowly turns gentle and slow as they are licking and chewing each other's lips, igniting the fire of desire and love inside them.
"May I, my heart?" He asks her, kissing her red hot cheeks.
"Pleaseâ¦" she whispered and entwined their fingers while staring into his dark eyes with love and desire for him.
