chapter 25

"Its beautiful" She said in her sweet low voice as she saw the shining bright lights of whole city which are burstling with noises but from here it looks tiny and quite.

Avinash stand leaning against the car boot crossing his arms to his chest. His heart swelled up with the affection for Aarushi. A smile appear on his face when she turned and gave her a best smile.

"Thankyou for this" She said standing near him leaning against car boot.

"Its my pleasure jaan" he said bending front of her make her giggle.

They both standing there in complete comfortable silence. They both find there peace in each other presence they are complete for each other

Avinash's pov

"Aarushi you said before you play badminton at state level why you didn't play further?" I asked her as she told me at dinner that she played badminton and then she had to leave as some circumstances. Why I have this feelings that its related to that her bastard brother? He is that fucking person i want to kill with my bare hands, want to torture him and the torture process is start but I need to know every thing he do with my jaan so I gave him fucking suitable death in my style.

As I asked her, something change in her I can see in her eyes. The flicker of sadness something broke in her.

"Vo  Tushar bhai doesn't like when I play in front of men in shorts or in skirts" She said in meaking voice gazing at one point in light.

She didn't turn or look at me. I went near her my arms around her shoulders. I rubbed her arms slowly hoping to give her silent support. She lean in my touch accepting my silence support for her.

"Avinash....do you....do you somehow know where is Tushar bhai and Priya bhabhi?" She asked in cracking voice. I held her near me close and kiss her top of her head.

"Why jaan? Why do you want to know about them? They hurt you. Trying to ruin your life" I said as keeping my rage in control its not her fault

She looked from my chest her eyes is glistening with unshed tears

"He is my brother Avinash we share same blood. Eventhough he did everything to hurt me but we can't change the fact he is my brother and Priya bhabhi is bind to him so we are family"

"No jaan that's not a family where we force someone to do something for our own benefit" i said cupped her cheek rubbed my thumb on her cheek. A tear escape from her eyes

"I want answers Aviansh...why they did this to me...back then I'm afraid I escape from there plan.....but now Avinash what happen if you really like they told me and...u-use me....and th....throw me out......I'm.......I'm....no..not....a.... "

"Shhhh..shhh..jaan. I said never, never even try to think about those filthy words for you. You are my queen my everything I never use you for my profit. I never let anything happen to you never touch you without your permission jaan please don't cry..you are beautiful jaan my favorite person" I said hugging her tight near to my heart. She sobbed harder I rubbed her back kiss her head many times. She's my life I can't anything happen to her.

But wait that she did mean by she escaped before. Did he trying to do something to my jaan? I have to know....

"Moon" I said I low voice

"Hmm" She hummed still hugging me

"Is they try to contact you"? I asked her

She shook her head slightly near my chest.

That's  good if that bastard tried to came near her I cut them from between. Still I cut him but after some painful experience.

I break the hug and kiss her forehead our eyes closed savoring the moment of peace.

"Sorry" She said in low voice looking at down.

I make her look up by touched her chin with my thumb and finger

"And why so?"

"Because I cry. It's a date and I ruin it"

"Jaaan...it's our emotions and I'm happy that you trust in me for showing your tears. We didn't cry before strangers we cry with people whom we trust. So thankyou it's best date ever"

She looked in my eyes deeply how I tell her she reach to my soul. If she demand my soul I happily give her.

She turn and wipe her tears back her eyes on city lights. Her arms crossed rubbing her arms with hands. It's cold here and she wear this saree.

I went and opened back door of my car and pull out my coat I keep it for emergencies. I went back to her,  still her eyes on city lights. I cover her shoulder with my coat. It's big for her petite figure. As she feel warmth her gaze turned to me.

"Thankyou"

"You know what's the best thing of this date?" She said and I looked at her waiting for answer

She gave me a best smile and said

"That there is no guards with us"

My Dumbo cute little wife she doesn't notice them.

I smile shaking my head.

"Why you afraid of them?"

"Obviously who doesn't. They look like scary angry very angry hulk. Ready to kill anyone. I don't like them I didn't feel good."

"Did they say something?"

"No that's the problem they didn't talk. they walk behind me like a shadow. A scary shadow always angry like you" She said dramatically

"When I'm angry with you"? I asked gasped. I know I had angry on her but I wanted to heard it from her

She turned to me completely I snacked my arms around  her waist. I think she didn't notice it yet.

"Ohoo. You are angry on me even when we first met remember you came to my home with Maa Papa and Dadu and you look at me with those two angry eyes like time" She trying to intimate my angry look

"Ishi I'm not angry on you it's just your bastard brother who shout on you which I don't like so it's trigger me anger"

"And why on our wedding night? And please don't call Tushar bhai bastard" She asked in little anger making a pout

"Because your bastard brother told me that you tried to ran away with your lover and it's making me super angry. And bastard suit him"

She gasped making her eyes wide showing me her anger.

"But I'm not going anywhere as he snatched my phone and how I ran at last moment then he sl..." She saying in flow but stopped saying something I notice her changed expression to relieve to horror sad.

I clenched my jaw I will gave them thousand percent more pain than he gave to my ishi.

"Moon. Come it's late you have your college in morning" I said her in calm voice.  If I said something in anger it trigger her more pain.

She nodded and we both sat in car. It's complete silence between us but its not awkward. It's peaceful she is my peace.

....

My phone rang continuously from five minutes I can't ignore as like always she slept  late at night she read a novel. Until  now I'm not the reason to wake her up whole night but it will change soon.

"Avinash your phone" She mumbled in sleep. I saw her face close eyes long eyelashes pink heart shaped lips little pout. She held the pillow which are between us like a wall.  I hold her hand after she sleep and she held it tightly. I envy with that pillow. Seriously She cuddle with it not with me even I'm a good cuddler. I don't know who gave me this title but I'm no offense. She slightly open her eyes

"Good morning" She said in her sleepy raspy voice.

Shit my morning wood twitch. I need cold shower even last night I took one.

I smile and stretch my hand to side table pick my phone. Who's bastard calling me this morning.

I put the phone near my ear still laying on my stomach.

"It should be important"

"Boss there is a blast near construction side" Yash said in shaking voice

"Fuck....call ambulance and force I will be in 20 minutes there" I said in urgency sat on bed. I looked at my side she try to open her eyes. I put my hand on her head slowly carenessing it she close her eyes drift back into sleep

I cut the call and ran to bathroom took a quick cold shower and dressed up. I went back to room but stopped in front of her closet she always wears traditional yet I know she feel uneasy asking me about to wear western but who I am gave her giving permission. She's my wife my equal not slave or my employee.

So took a forward step I opened her closet and took out blue jeans and top she looks fabulous in it. I hanged it on closet and outside and stick a  note to it.

I went back to room she sleep peacefully looking serene. I went near her and sit on bed near her bending kiss her forehead she stirred in her sleep.

"Jaan I need to go office,  some emergency. Eat your breakfast properly and I will meet you at lunch. Ok. Bye jaan. Miss me" I said near her ear kiss her head , forehead and both cheeks. Her face turned into red.

My blushy mess

I kiss her crown last time and took my loaded gun phone and wallet and went to outside.

Lakshya already waited for me with loads of guns and guards. They all bowing there head in front of me I  ignore them and sat in my car and speed up towards construction side. It's a incomplete building of our new hotel its a joint project with a London based businessman.

I get to know who is behind this though I have some idea but who knows I have many enemies with no count. So it's hard to decipher but not impossible. I reach there in no time as we speed it with out care.

I saw two ambulance and some health workers running there gave medical help to them. One side of half constricted building blown up turned into ashes. This is not our first joint program with foreign company but every is important for us.

My guards cover up whole area and helped to injured people and some cover up whole area  for security

"Boss...one guard dead...one have some injury as other are outside covering up area not in building" Yash said came running to me.

I nodded closey looking around. Lakshya stood beside me also looking for some cue. It's hard for them to come here and throw a bomb or blaster as the security is very tight.

"Lakshya stop construction and send every material to lab for testing" he nodded and get to work.

"Boss Mr Denial, wanted to talk to you about this matter" Yash said in  scared tone not looking at me

"Who told them"? I raged on this news. This is impossible to reach this news so quick to them unless I gave them but it's look like someone is ready to die

"Boss..I...don't know he call me told me to set metting with you unless he cancel this project"

"Set metting with him in one hour and remember I'm your boss not him. And the guard who died told his family  to not to take tension they are now our responsibility and take care about their needs and for other guard send him to best hospital and treat him" I order him and he nodded ran away immediately

It's going to be a long day. After inspection from there I went to my office and direct to meeting room I have back to back two meeting one with Mr Denial and other with departments head.

I'm not answerable to any of them if I'm not behave like a sane in office I might prefer to kill Mr denial. But I prefer to separate my both business not to build a good reputation among them because my Dadu built this business from scratch with lots of difficulty I never want to ruin his hardwork.

After coaxing Mr Denial and save this project and took a good class of departments head I went to my cabin. With resting cold expressionless face is easy to intimidate them they stamming or sweating when they gave me reports. My emotions only reserve for my family not for everyone.

As i close the door of my cabin a familiar aroma hit my nostrils. I saw a tiffin on the coffee table near couch. It's from Mansion but Mom never send me breakfast and it's  not even time of lunch. Who send this.

I sat on couch from aroma I guess my wife cooked it but I want to know. I open tiffin box and there is note stick on it.

"Eat your breakfast properly.

Take care. We will meet at lunch. Bye take care

Mrs Aarushi Avinash Singh Rathore "

Oo God why I'm so lucky. I imagine her blushy red cheeks when she write it. Her shy smile her battling eyes. She took opportunity of my absence and make breakfast what I do with her.

I want everything to do with her but God she didn't gave me permission. Stop this nonsense I need to focus on my food.

I folded the note and put it safely in my wallet with her photo and open tiffin box. She made idli sambar with coconut chutney.

I dig on food and it's really good it's best. I gave a flying kiss to my wife and eat all of this almost clean everything. I remember last night she told me about her allergy to peanuts. So I order head cook to not put peanuts in any food or not in kitchen.

Let's wait for lunch now...

Aarushi's pov

How he is so sweet and caring? He comfort me with his actions those  just small for him but for me its a new world.

I feel safe with him more safe that I feel in my past 22 years. He is my safe place. Not around him he also  makes me feel safe in his house in our house. I never feel this safe in my own house.

But he didn't know about my dark past I want to be selfish but I can't. I have to set boundaries I can't let them break easily I didn't want to hurt him he deserves best and I'm...I'm tainted

About morning I hear his conversation on phone he look tense but more angry. It's must be something big. Even he have to go he took out clothes for me write a beautiful note.

"If Mrs Rathore like yesterday date then please please wear this.

I feel grateful to you..

Mr Rathore"

How he is like that. I tried to not look at him ignore his actions but no he is always there showing me full affection.

I wear the dress he choose for me it's simple classy just as I like.

He told me to eat breakfast properly so as he is not around and he also went early in morning so I decide to make breakfast for him. If he was here he didn't let me cook so today I took this opportunity I cook idle sambar and coconut chutney and pack it in tiffin box with a note and write his own words which he said me in morning.

I spent my morning with my family and then I went to college. Today Lakshya bhaiya also not present here they must be busy.

Everything is fine in college besides Sneha and her minions bullshit. Seriously now I'm fed up with their words. Today morning when me and my friends met Naksh they saw us and start to talking shit about us and throwing comments on us. Naksh tried to stop them threaten them but their is no effect. I stop Naksh and my friends to reply to them as they are not important for me but somewhere in my heart I'm hurt by their words. Putting a smile on my face I went to take class. Abeer and Harshita also in this college but in different departments. They both came sometimes to met me with their friends, they didn't know about our relation but thought that I'm like big sister to them so they should have to talk to me with respect.

I'm in library right now trying to read so their harsh words didn't repeat in my mind. My friends also with me here they didn't left me alone.

My phone pinged with notification I forget to silent it. I open my phone to see the notification it's from Avinash

"Thankyou wifey for breakfast. You are the best cook. ❤

Will meet at lunch. Miss me"

My cheeks heated with blush. The tingling sensation appear again how easily he make me feel important

"Why are you blushing"? Rohan asked me in slow voice. We all four sat on one table in library

"It must be jiju" Palak said wiggling her eyebrows. They all gave me a teasing smile

"Shut up you all"

"Yes yes and then you are making sounds with your husband" sam said winking

God their unfiltered mouth. What happen when they meet him today. He already shows his affection by kissing if he will know I'm this shy he must be double it.

"God guys please don't open this your unfiltered mouth in front of him. Please" I said pleading them but whom I request they are devils.

After college we all standing in parking ready to go for lunch. Lakshya bhaiya came as soon he saw us. All guards behind him in car. Cars stopped in front of us  but today I want to go with my friends like in back time I used to go on their bike and scooty.

"Lakshya bhaiya I am going with my friends on scooty" I said him as he opened door for me. He looked near me to my friends almost glaring scanning them.

"Its not safe mam" he said in firm tone

"It is safe"

"But mam boss will kill us if he knew"

"Nothing will happen I told him."

"But mam..."

"Its my order" I said in stern tone crossing my hands around my chest

He gave me pleading look but then nodded in yes. We all beaming smiling and settle in our vehicle. Rohan and Sam on in his bike and me and Palak on her scooty.. simple.

All cars cover us one car is our front guiding us to restaurant.  And four cars behind us. I didn't know where we are going Avinash told me he booked table for us. We reach there in 20 minutes. It's different restaurant from last night. We park our vehicles and then all guards surrounded us like a wall.

"Guys it's feel like we are some celebrities" Rohan said smiling as we went inside restaurant. It's good cozy but giving rich vibes.

Guards escorted us directly to a private booth in vip section on second floor. No one on this floor.

"Why no one is here"? Palak asked looking around to guards.

"Mam sir will be here in ten minutes" Lakshya bhaiya said me. And then we all settle on our seats. Sam and Rohan sit front of me, Palak sit on side head chair and beside me is one empty chair for Avinash.  I'm facing Rohan who gave me cheeky smile

"Aaru, who is he"? Sam asked about Lakshya bhaiya who was standing near elevator

"Lakshya bhaiya he is head of Rathore's security" I answer her

"He is handsome" Palak said openly checking her out

I turned my gaze to him but he looks like a normal person to me not that handsome

"Is he?" I asked furrowed my eyebrows

"You are blind" Sam retorted. I saw Rohan who fuming in anger seeing Sam's eyes on Lakshya bhaiya

"Aaru I think you should tell Mr Rathore about Sneha. She bullying you and its not right" Rohan said trying to change the topic

"No Rohan I don't want...."

I said but cut off on between hearing Avinash voice

"What you don't want jaan" he said and I still on My seat. He kiss my hairs bending a little. He wear black shirt with black pants. His upper two buttons are undone giving a peak of his tone physique. His shirt sleeves folded till his elbow. I mesmerized by his beauty he is handsome upper class handsome. Did I hit a jackpot?

He looks handsome in everything messy hairs geled hairs. Folded sleeves full sleeves. And when he came from his gym his sweaty arms neck shine like crystal.

God Aaru stop drooling over him....

Samaira, Palak and Rohan stand on their seats. I also stand and introduce them.

"She is samaira"

"Hello samaira

Hello jiju. Can we call you jiju?"

"Absolutely"

"She is Palak

"Hello Palak

Hello jiju"

"And he is Rohan"

"Hello Rohan

Hello jiju"

Avinash turned to me and gave me a side hug again kiss my head. I saw my friends with open mouth as they know I hate physical touch and here I'm hugging him and all thing.

We all take our seat. They gave me a teasing smile does I'm blushing?

"Aaru I'm hurt"? Rohan said dramatically

"To hoja" I  reply as we know all three ladies know that he is more drama queen then us. He gave us a side eye and said

"You never hug me"

"Why I hug you gave me a reason"

"I'm your best friend even Sam and Palak hug me but not you"

"Oo hello we didn't hug you. It's you who are cling to us" Sam reply Nonchalantly

"And Aaru have jiju to hug why she hug you" Palak said further making me count how many times we hug. I feel Avinash hand on mine his warm rough hands held me softly. He rubbed his thumb on back of my hand.

"Right Aaru"

"Right" my trance broke hearing their banter "moreover why I hug you. Tell me last time when  you took a shower?"

"I'm against the idea of wasting water"

"You bathed last week right" I said wiggling my eyebrows.

"Ewww Rohan"

"Yes but wait how do you"? Rohan said in surprised putting his hands on table bending front

I gave him a wide victory smile.

" I guess and you are a fool so accept it easily. Aahaa...I'm genius" I said flipped my hairs

We all laughed on our actions. We are like this mad cool and full of humor.

Then we all start our conversation Avinash bond  with  them easily. We order our lunch and then soon it serve us. Like always Avinash serves more in my plate my appetite is small but he is hell bend to expand it. I looked at my plate it's full then I looked at his plate it's half eaten. Why he is fast eater.

"What happen jaan"? He asked me. I sat leaning to chair crossing my arms.

"Your plate had half of food and mine is still full why you put more" I said with a pout

Why I'm behaving like a child with him?

"it's half because I ate half"

"I want your plate please"

"Let me feed you then we have icecream" he said and make me feed from our plates.

We have ice cream after lunch but he didn't have he is not a big fan of this but I can eat ice cream anytime.

"Thanks jiju. The food is really good" Palak said as we are done with our food and now ready to leave.

"I'm glad you like our service" he said chucking. Thank God he is in good mood otherwise I thought he came here with his gun. But wait our. Why our. No way its also belongs to Rathore's.

"Is it belong to Rathore's?" I asked him holding his bisep

"You are also Rathore and yes it belong to us."

I'm surprised how many business he owns.

"Aaru we all very happy for you" Sam and Palak said group hugging me. Rohan nodded with same smile. I said thankyou with smile

We all said bye to each other and I went to back side door with Avinash and security and my friends went from front door. Why I don't know?

"Avinash how many business do you own?" I asked him as we approached to back side door. His demeanor change to a cold arrogant egoistic boss.

"I will sent you a file which all the bussiness WE own" I said emphasized on WE.

I gave him a good smile hoping he didn't get angry. He wrapped his hand around my waist and pull me closer.

Author's pov

Yash is standing with Lakshya at the back door waiting to arrive his boss. He is confuse at his boss arrival here. He didn't know about Avinash marriage so he thought its quite unusual for him to came for lunch.

But when he  saw Avinash with a girl wearing chudda vermillion and nuptial chain he surprised and stand straight in shock. He continually staring at them. Avinash gave him a death glare broke his trace he averted his gaze.

Avinash arrived near car and open back seat door for her.  All guards stand there head low. Lakshya went and stand beside Yash. Who are froze sensing  Avinash soft gaze for her.

"Ye kya h"? Yash asked Lakshya in slow voice

"Our lady boss" he reply not giving him much attention but this one word enough to feel the threat behind this. This mean the lion become more protective towards his kingdom.

"Are you not coming?" Aarushi asked him clutching his coat.

He cupped her cheek with his one hand his gaze softened looking at her.

"Jaan I have some meeting to attend and then will  have dinner with some minister. So I can't come. You go take rest and please eat dinner on time ok. I will be late tonight"

She nodded listening his all work schedule. He chuckled looking at her. He patted her cheek and give her a smile and kissed her  forehead and made her sit in car. Two cars of gurads went after her car. After her departure he went towards Lakshya and Yash near his car. Yash still digest what happening front of his eyes.

Lakhya nudged his elbow to him to broke his trace. Yash compose himself not ready to become a prey to his boss.

"Boss you are right they mix explosives in building material and shoot from far at night it catches fire and explosion held" Lakshya said briefing him all possible accident

Avinash nodded and gave him a smirk. He kept his hands in his pockets looking at them

"Saala do din kisi ko marro nhi to dar Khatam ho jaata h" he said and open driving seat door of his car.

"Find out who is after all this. And buy that company who deliver us raw materials and I want that owner I warehousetomorrow" He ordered them and they all set instantly in their cars went to their destination. Whole day Avinash is busy with work in meetings and then dinner with minister. Actually its like minister who want help of Avinash in his work.

Avinash's pov

Its late in light when i reach Mansion. I wanted to go to our room and held ishi in my arms but my work calls me. I had some files to check and sign them. So I plan to complete my work in my study and then went to room and look at her whole night.

I totally engrossed in my work but my mind keep remembering me about afternoon incidents when  I'm with my wife with her friends for lunch. She is totally different person with them carefree, naughty , full of life and the smirk on her face. She looks so hot in that. I'm already very happy that she wear my chosen clothes its like I'm winning her. I know her act when she went with her friends on scooty. I didn't told in front of her because I want that she live her life fully not in anyone's fear.

I almost done with my work it's one at night  I know she didn't sleep until. I need to change her this habit. My phone pinged with a message It's from Abeer. Why he message me this late.

"Bhai where are you"? He asked

Hope he didn't pull any other new stunt.

"In my study" I reply and put the phone on table. Took my file and start reading. After two minutes the door burst open but it's locked and no one other then ishi know passcode.

I looked at my front and Abeer came with a laptop wearing headphones and phone in his hand. He looking worried and angry.

"Abeer what is..."

"Bhai" he taking long breath didn't let me complete my sentence. I'm very angry on him how he easily break world top best security system

"Bhabhi"
