chapter 17

"Where are you jaan"?

She's like breath to me I need her. I check whole mansion but no I didn't find her. My mind gave me every possible point to not to freak out but I can't control. I try her phone but it switched off. Shit ,,,,, I found mom she must be know where she is.

"Mom where is Aarushi"? I asked her trying to not to freak out.

Mom looked at me for good two minutes. Litterly mom trying my patience

"She's I garden only don't freak out" she told me.

I Litterly ran towards garden and she is sitting there on couch engrossed in her novel. I ran my fingers in my hairs and take sigh of relief. She's look like a serene beauty when she totally engrossed in her novels and forget about this mean world. Someday I also want to hear from her about her fairy imaginary world and change that into reality just for her. But it doesn't mean i change no a big no my this version only for my jaan for world I'm still that ruthless fucking Mafia king.

I went and sat besides her and took her small hands in mine. She shocked from this sudden touch.

"Its me" I said her intertwined our fingers. Ok she's stubborn about this but I'm also her husband one and only.

"Where are you jaan? You know I found you in whole Mansion" I asked her more like complaining her and she blinking her eyes looking at me in surprised.

What doesn't she know that I can't live without her.

Ok she's not but one day she will....

She blinked her eyes looking at me. She looks so innocent. I drawn in her beautiful black eyes. Her eyes speaking less and hide alot.

She looked at me than one intertwined hands. She slowly took her hands back and distance herself from me. She closes her novel and put it on her lap.

But its different what she's read yesterday was different. Does she complete whole novel in two days?

"Did you finished that novel which you read yesterday"? I asked her out of curiosity

"Ji" She said tilted her head to me. Her sweet voice sounds like melody to me. I can hear her all day.

She keep distance herself from me. I understand how her that bastard brother portrayed our relation it's hard for her to trust on it suddenly. I am here near to her to hear her to answers all her questions. I waited for her to open up. She always gave me one word answers or just nodded her head. All those time when I saw her she happily talk to her friends also here she happily talk to everyone even to my brainless brothers but why not me.

Didn't she told her friends about our marriage? I will ask her...

"So did you decide from when you join your college"? I asked her and her head instantly turned to me. She looked deep in my eyes  something try to find.

"If you want more holidays then I inform your principal about this...."

"Did I have permission?" She asked me cut me off between i say

Who told her that she need permission to do anything? You jerk......

Ok I admit....

I turned to her and held her soft hand in mine. Her touch always did something to me  I became mad for wanting more and greedy

"You don't need my or anyone's permission to complete your dreams and your study. You can do whatever you want. And if you don't want to complete your studies you can join our company I can teach you about business "

I said her truthfully I am here with her always. In her every decision as I also want that she complete her studies but if she doesn't want she can join our company with me. But there is  little problem if she join company I didn't focus on my work. Don't joke with me how can i

"No no I want to complete my studies" She said excitedly her eyes shinning. She said over with so much enthusiasm that I understand how much she miss her college life  and friends.

"OK so you can....." I said but in between my phone rang  I took it out from my pant pocket it's from Krish. He must be asking about my presence as it's metting time and I'm here with my wife.

He is such a mood spolier.

I picked up his call...

"Speak"

"Where are you? That France person eating my brain" Krish shouted on me. He is angry means something is not normal.

"Coming in 15 minutes"

I ended the call and looked at her. She looked at her lap playing with her saree pallu. Damn she looks so innocent

"So you can join your college after the day of tomorrow because tomorrow we need to attend a party.....OK...." I said her and she like always nodded in yes.

My phone ring again...fuckers can't they handle a small metting for me. I didn't pick my phone as I know whom calling and why???

I need to go..

I stand up and she looked up at me. Fuck cancel all my meetings I need my wife

I kissed her hairs and I feel she froze in her space.

"I have a metting late at night so took your medicine on time and sleep. I will be late...OK bye.....take care jaan"

I said her I'm hurry tone and rushed to my car. Whoever spoil my time with my wife is gone today.

I sat in my car and drive to warehouse. Like always two cars full of armed guards follow me. I don't know how Aarushi react when she know about our real identity. I'm a businessman but this Mafia it's in my blood. I can't gave up this position however I get it as a Thorne from my father but I really earned it. Other Mafia afraid from me and I like it. I like to see terror in their  eyes for me. Can I kill them in an instant.....? Hell yes....

And I never regret it....

I reached warehouse and saw many cars with guards present there. This warehouse had tight security as international mafias are here. And even someone get a slightest idea of them to present here fbi police want not forces came here.

Lakshya my security head came and greet me. I nodded at told him to tighten security.

After Mishra ji Lakshya is the next man we trust. He is with us when he is 20. From past five years he manage all security related things also he know about my marriage to Aarushi. Because he is the one who send me her pics when I'm busy at work. Because I didn't trust anyone with what's mine.

I enter a room in warehouse it's a dull room with a table in middle and chairs around it with two lamps lighting that room, I can hear voices of shouting from there. It can be a headache metting for me.

I enter there and saw Louise Martin, is a man near his forty and had pale skin with black eyes slightly bald but a womenwhore and a Mafia from France shouting on Krish. Krish really tried to control his anger or I say he is in verge to bursting. Caspian Amato my Italian maifa friend who handle it there with me present and try to cop up with Martin but that fucker have a thick skin.

I took my gun out and shoot Martin's man who glared at Krish and cursed him. I can't handle my anger anymore. Hearing the gun shot everyone head tuned to me and then that dead person. Krish and Amato gave me a devil smirk.

I took slowly step to them and sat on chair near Krish, Amato also sat at his space but that fucker Martin still fuming in anger and looked at me like he will kill me like I am afraid of him.

"Lakshya clean this garbage" I ordered him and he came with some guards and tool that body with them.

"How dare you to kill my man?" Martin shouted and pointed his gun to me. But at instant 20 guns pointed at him. He looked shocked around him poor him.

"Like you didn't able to save your man......look I can show you how I kill him again to kill your every men here.....or with you" I told her gave him a devil smirk.  His facial expression change to anger to helpless. He can't do anything fbi search him everywhere and my one call and his life finish.

"I'm here for business" he said sitting on his chair. Guards back off but stood behind him.

"Good to hear from you....you remember" Krish said mocking him

"Come to the point Martin" Amato said and took out a file and gave to him. He took that file and read it.

I gave file to Martin and he read both file carefully after some minutes he again in his bastard mode

"But it's double price"

"You want arms or not" Krish asked him giving him glare.

"But it's not what we final" Martin defend him but it's to late

"Mr Martin no country ready to give to arms and for your protection you need it. Besides this you are on FBI's top hit list so if you didn't want your half life to interrogative with them so better of to accept our proposal" I said giving no choice for him to reject.

"But what about your rival he is after this consignment" Martin asked me with his fucking smirk

I fisted my hands controlling my anger that rival soon going to be dead.

"No one dare to stopped me and about your consignment it reach with you without any hindrance" I told him glaring at him

"I want in 25 days" he told us

"OK  don't forget about our  membership in France aristocrat society" Amato told him

"OK then deal done" Martin told and we shake hand with him.

"Brother congratulations for your wedding" Amato congrats me after Martin departure.

We hugged each other and he gave me a cheeky smile

"So when we are going to be uncles" Amato asked

"Yes brother tell us...Cas you have to hear his voice when I call him he is so frustrated like I intrupt something important " Krish said about that phone call. But really dude I had great time with my wife

"Shut up Krish....and we only get married last week" I told them but they decided to tease me full

"Forget about me about about you Cas...how's your girlfriend? When you both get married?" I asked him he has been in a relationship from two years now and she didn't ready to marry him

"Oo she's good like always...ready to kill me..I try to convince her for marriage hope she agree" he said us huffing

"Thankgod I'm single"  Krish said sighing

We went to Krish penthouse and talked for sometime having our drinks

"So you didn't attend tomorrow party" I asked Cas because he is going back in some hours

"Yes I have important work so I have to go...but why don't you come there with your wife for honeymoon"

Honeymoon she didn't talk to me looking at my eyes how I suppose to celebrate honeymoon

"Yaa if we plan to come there we definitely meet you" I told him

After some hours I headed back to Mansion. It's late at night everyone must be asleep. I want to see Aarushi. I unlock the door and came inside. I went towards living room but garden side lights still on. Who are there this late?

I went there and saw dad and dadu sitting on couch talk about something. Did something happen

I went there and sat near them.

"What are you both doing here"? I asked them they look at me from side eye and ignore me. Dude

"Thinking about our grandchildren" dadu said

"Daadu.."

"What???I'm over seventy now I'm retired and didn't do anything so how I get tired at get sleep. If I had little grandchild so I could play with them and then get tired and sleep....it's simple" he defended him seriously.

Why everyone wants to see my children?

I looked at them amazed and they both burst into laughter. What can I do to them?

"Here's your coffee" Abhi came with three cup of coffee seriously this time coffee

Dadu and dad took their cup controlling their laughing.

"Hy bhai...how's meeting? ......and why you both laughing like this?" Abhi asked making more piss me off.

"Its good" i answer him. He offer me his cup of coffee but I decline it and took out cigarettes packets and lighter.

"Why don't you quit it?" Dad asked. He hate my cigarette habit but I'm stubborn enough to not quit it.

I light it up and having a puff. It relex me.

"I'm trying" I lied to him

"We are seeing your trying" he taunt me

"How's Aarushi?" Dad asked after some minutes

"She's fine now." I said

"Did shs asked about her brother"? Dadu asked me.

"That's the thing I'm afraid of. She didn't ask me or I'm sure she didn't even know where ate he?" I said looking at them

"Did you know where are he"? Dadu asked me with a smirk. We Rathore share a same devil. Age doesn't matter for us that devil young always with in us with same power

"Obviously I know" I said

"So how you treat him?"Dad asked me

"I punish him like a real Rathore" I answered with a smirk and return same devil smirk

We talked on this for about an hour. We discussed about Tushar. We didn't let him go this freely. She dare to harm my wife my life she became mine before our marriage. I hope that its all what she say that day because if I knew he do something besides this I clearly gave him a hell death.

After dadu and dad, Abhi and me also went to ours rooms. I went in room and saw a neat bed. Where is She? It's late why she didn't sleep. Did she take her medicines? Did she had her dinner? God what I do with my wife??

First find her. Yes. I check closet bathroom, near couch whole room but she is not here. Balcony. Yes

I check balcony. There she is sitting on swing, scooped in herself seeing at moon. She wears a light blue color saree , her long back length hairs flowing with wind slowly, her big black eyes saw moon like she had desire to absorb all its moonlight. Indeed she is my moon. She is the moonlight of my light. Her cheeks shining in light and her pink lips highlight more to take me...

Control your fucking hormones....

She rubbed her arms She feeling cold here. She's not fully recovered yet and she sat here she catch cold easily.

I went near her and stand after her. I took out my coat and cover her. She startle by this and looked behind her at me. Her face told me how she is afraid..

"Aahhh"

"Shhh,,,,,moon it's me. Wear this  it's cold here" I said and made her wear my coat.

I sat on my knees before her took her cold hands in mine.

"Did you had your dinner"? I asked her

She nodded her yes

"Did you take your medicine?"

She again nodded in yes still looking at her lap.

"Jaan  look at me" I said her in my most clam soft tone. Really my wife shows me my different colors which I even don't know exist

She looked at me timidly. She blink her eyes to me. So cute

A smile broke on my lips.

"Why didn't you sleep yet? It's too late" I said and rubbed softly my thumbs on back of her hands.

"Vo I didn't feel my sleep so..." She said and turned her face to moon

"You like moon?" I asked her

She nodded her head turned her gaze to me

"I also like moon" I said direct looking in her eyes. Her eyes enough for me to drowning in her. She looked in my eyes finding answers of her unasked questions.

I get up and released her hands. She looked at me I miss our joined her. They looked perfect with together

"Come it's late you have to sleep and it's cold outside." I said and took steps to go in room. She follow me I can hear her sounds of payal.

Aarushi's pov

"Did I forget what happened to me in past"? Hell no

I can never forget that and forgive those person whoever responsible for threw my past in dark. People said never blame someone for your life its write to happen in destiny or its only you who can stop that from happen.

But somewhere it had there mistakes if they agree or not. I can't totally blame that but what if they hold their act or stop that so my life somewhere less complicated.

I like someone else marry to a person whom supposed to my tormentor but in his words he save me from my own brother's greed. I agree to his words.

I didn't tell anyone about this even my family di jiju and kittu not present there. My friends thought that I'm lost somewhere in little sense they are right. I'm lost in my life I don't know what my future hold.

Did he accept me after knowing my whole dark past?

Did he accept me after knowing that I like someone else before marriage?

How he will react? Mostly angry but I have to told him early.

But what us the need to bhai to marry me to him just for money. He is greedy I know but how to stoop so low in his act to fulfill his greed. What happen to me if this family really like he describes to me. The mere thought of this chill my spines

Where did he? I didn't saw a call from him or bhabhi after that. Did I asked Mr Rathore about tushar bhai?

No no what if he thought I'm with him in their plan. I don't want money I can earn that

I lost in my thoughts long forget the words of novel which I read but a sudden touch startle me to soul. Someone touch my hand. Before I can do something I hear his voice

"Its me" Mr Rathore. He looked at me with care and  affection. Did I saw right?

He held my hands softly his warm though hands gently touch my cold hands. His touch do something to me.

He wears black shirt with black pants with blue coat. Perfectly set hairs and first two buttons of his shirt is open gave a look to his well built body.

"Where are you jaan? You know I found you in whole Mansion" he said more like complaining to me.

Why he looked for me but wait did he call me jaan seriously no one call me that. In morning I'm his Aarushi now jaan. Wait his Aarushi. Either this man is mad or he made me mad

I released my hands from him and distance myself from him. He looked at me then our distance. I folded my novel and looking at my lap. I feel his intense gaze on me

"Did you finished that novel which you read yesterday"? He asked me like I have some work to do here. No one let me to do anything here. I can't even cook here. Even if I went to kitchen to drink water workers said me that they bring that to me if my husband know that I went there its not good for them.

So what I do

"Ji" I said and tilted my head to him. Did he really that nice or that day Mr Rathore was real?

Then he asked me that when I decide to join the college?

Like really didn't he is the one who told me to not to contact anyone or he do something bad.

Even he told me if I didn't decide yet he told my principal about my absence. Did he do that? OK he is rich but did he had that much powerful. But I only means to attend college and complete my degree so I asked him

"Did I have permission?"

He again held my hands in his harm hands its feel like ages I miss him warmth. Shut your mouth

And what he answer its shook my soul. I didn't need permission to do something even his. I can do whatever I want even he offer me if I didn't want to complete my study I can join his office no no our. But its his it belong to him and abhi bhaiya and Abeer it's not ours. Buy no I want to complete my degree I love that

"No no I want to complete my studies" I told him with excitement. It's will be so good to meet my friends my family after so many days. And I also have to inform my workplace about my absence.

He is about to say something but his phone rang. He picked it up muttered something under his breath. He looks irritated

"Speak" he told in  frustration on phone. When he speak to me it's only soft and calm tone and when talk to others it's harsh rude tone.

He cut the call and told me to that I can join college after the day of tomorrow because tomorrow is a party. But what can I do with a party. And then then he call me again jaan....

Did I feel butterflies? Did they exist? God its feel so good I looked at him digest the fact that in 15 minutes he call me jaan two times.

But did this is the end....no he kiss my hairs....damnnn

Why why God? He kissed my hairs it feel damn special no one did that before...OK I didn't gave a chance to any but he did without asking and I let him do.....why I can't feel weird or disgusted

Butterflies everywhere in my stomach....

Blush reach to my cheeks but before he saw he went because he is getting late for his metting.

He care for me. He didn't pretend to care me he really care me.

After that whole day I thought after this kiss and jaan and my dear Harshita tease me alot. Even Maa tease me saying he find me in whole Mansion like a madman. I had my dinner first I thought to wait for him but then I remembered what he said to me before he go. I thought that Maa or papa would said something that I didn't waited for my husband and ate but they support me. They are not like other orthodox family.

I came back in his room and change in a simple blue saree which had in my suitcase. I have to do something with my clothes. I fresh and change in it and took a novel. I read it for some minutes then I bore so I watched TV. I took that pillow and laid there and I feel his cologne here. That pillow and couch smells like him strong coffee mix smell

I need freah air. So I went to balcony and sat there. I feel cold here but not that much it's refreshing.

I feel someone's presence behind me and then I feel a coat on me.

"Aaahhh" I shriek left my mouth in fear and I looked behind only to saw my husband

"Its me" I said and made me wear his coat. His warm like his hands and same smeel from which I ran here from inside.

He sat at his knees front of me. Is he for real? Why he do all these? Even he didn't said me sorry for that night but did everything to make me feel special.

He caresses back of my hands with his thumb it's feel so good and special.

Am I special for him? Don't think any thing?

But wait did he call me moon? No no but he said looking at me  also to me. Did he really call me? This is the second name he gave me today? Now I'm sure he bange his head somewhere that's why he act like this. Or he had double personality disorder Oo my God my husband need psychiatrist.

I need to tell Maa Papa. Mr Rathore is elder in their siblings they all love him poor him.

Then he asked about my dinner and medicine did I take it or not. I nodded my head in yes not looking at him. His strong gaze make it difficult to look at him.

Then he again said

"Jaan look at me".... and I'm gone not me those butterflies. Lots of I feel where have you all been in those years.

I looked at him. He still in his office clothes his hairs now messy shirt sleeves roll till his elbow gave a perfect view of his veiny hands. I looked at our joint hands didn't it seem perfect? He gave a little smile to me. Smile looks good on him but that shouting and ragefull eyes of that day make me turned my eyes to moon to him.

"You like moon"? He asked me and I nodded my head like always

"I also like moon" he said and get up. Why this line seems like I hear somewhere.

He call me to inside because it's getting cold here I follow him inside without saying anything.

Once we are in room I call him.

"Mr Rathore"

Today I will  told him to sleep on bed it's very uncomfortable for him there. He doesn't even fit there and it's his room I feel guilty.

"Yes Mrs Rathore" He said and turned to me giving me a smile. His hands in his pockets making him more attractive

"Hmm you can sleep on bed...I will take the couch" finally I said him.

He looked at me for good minutes making me nervous did he angry on me?

He take slow steps to me and suddenly my legs seems heavy to me I didn't took a step. He stop he front of me and cup my cheeks with his one hands. He caresses my cheek with his thumb I can feel his breath on my face. I didn't look at his face he is too tall front of me.

"I can never put you in uncomfortable place and sleep comfortably on bed....now you sleep on bed ok...I'm going to change...good night" he said

I looked at him there is non ounce of anger.

He again kissed my hairs and went towards closet. I stood there dumbfounded
