Waking up from the sedatives anshika opened her eyes and looked around seeing the white ceiling and then her eyes went to the person who was laying on the bed edge holding her hand
Her body felt like she has been crushed under truck tires tears flowed down her eyes as her body shook from the terror and snapping her hand from the men hand she sat up back feeling her body torn
Aditya snapped as he sat up and looked at her broken reaction he tried to reach her but she cried and tried crawling back saying "please don't please it's hurting"
Her face hiden behind her arms that blocked the person face and Aditya body shook from rage as he forcefully embraced her and after some time she calmed but her emotions shut down as she spaced out sitting on bed in his arms Aditya laid her on bed carefully as she looked up at the sky and Aditya looked at her holding her hand as he pressed the bell doctors came and checked her
Shivank and his family also came as her mother cried in her father's arms and shivank stood behind holding his tears looking at his sister who was laying on hospital bed with bruises all over her body after doctor went out informing them about her condition shivank wiped his tears completely and went and sat on other side kissing her forehead but anshika was still laying with any movement
"Golu say something bacha we all are here"
Seeing her not responding her mother cried more in her father's arms as he took her out worried she might get sick.
Aditya caress her knuckles rubbing small circle on her back hand
"Kitten??" Aditya softly called her and again she didn't looked at him
"Golu you don't have to overthink anything"
This time anshika looked at Aditya and without any emotions she said her voice hoarse from all the crying earlier as she said after thinking hard if it wasn't Aditya she would've died...
"Thank you for all the things"
Aditya body instantly stiffened thinking she is blaming him for everything it was his fault because of his past she got kidnapped and everything happened with her but ...
Why something he felt he felt that somewhere anshika was not mocking him or blaming him??
But still he found himself getting panic shivank look at her in disbelief and cupping her face he looked at her in anguish and said "anshika are you so blind that you don't want to see that because of this guy you got in everything you got hurt , kidnapped and you lost your innoc..." He couldn't complete his sentence as tears trailed down as he looked down trying to keep him from shouting he didn't kill Aditya because he saved her but no matter what he would never be happy with his and anshika relationship.
Anshika was not understanding as she wiped his tears and her emotions came on high as seeing his brother tear bought tears to her eyes and said "i know i got in trouble because of him and got hurt so much but also because of him I'm saved otherwise your sister would've been ra...ped by several men's"
Anshika words choked as she smiled softly but hissed in pain from her cheek and lip injury.
Aditya and shivank froze hearing him but instantly they breathed a sigh of relief and Aditya cupped her face with his big hands kissing her instantly anshika blinked unsure what happened shivank clenched his fist as he shoved Aditya away and said "I'm still here bastard she's weak and injured yet you can't keep your tongue inside"
Aditya blushed and rubbing his neck he replied "not my fault your sister is irresistible i just lose control in front of her but wait.." he was being shy but then he turned all serious and said "i saw them i saw the blood it looked rather they forced you"
Shivank jaw dropped as he looked at him shocked at his shy demeanour and then serious and clearing his throat he turned and said "bache can you tell what happened there are don't worry we trust you"
Anshika face was red from embarrassment and injuries bandages were paste on her face on many small injures on her face from beating as she avoided both men eyes and sighing she fiddle her fingers and started "i was going back home but then my phone battery dead i thought bhai will come finding me through location but instead a knock came when i opened the window someone put the clothes in my face before i could see who it was i was unconscious when i opened my eyes i was tied down on chair and i heard some olders guy talking to someone on call and was shocked when i hear Aditya name i was confused because i thought no way the mafia...."
Anshika was saying with tears on her eyes but stopped as her eyes locked with Aditya he lowered his head ashamed as he thought because of him her life was in danger and she heard and now she knows he was in mafia he doesn't even know what that old bastard told her if he said anything more...
Seeing his reaction she said "so he was right he wasn't lying when he called you previous boss you actually were in mafia?"
Shivank sighed and said "it's all past let's not dwell he saved you that's all i know but that wouldn't stop me from killing him if he hurt you again or someone did because of him"
Aditya looked at him and said "so you're accepting your brother in law? Good sale sahab"
Hearing him shivank rolled his eyes and seeing there love anshika cleared her throat and said "I'm still here you both are talking about me I'm the person he's calling you brother in law and I'm also the person he's accepting you pay attention I'm lonely if you give attention to eachother"
Hearing her they both smiled and the atmosphere lightened a little as they kissed her and anshika continue "when i came to know you were in mafia and he had some business and seeing him talking that way i observed him and his voice and actions i knew he was nervous maybe a little he was unsure of his actions when his men came and he ordered them to force me i was scared and i stopped pretending to unconscious and tried to stop them but they didn't and in the end i lied and said if you do something Aditya will kill you all and that moment he hesitated for some reason...
But his men started undressing me and in panic i kicked in his groin and the men in anger slapped me and then smiling he ordered his men to beat me because of my words the blood was not mine it was because i cut the man hand in panic and fear seeing this he smashed my head in wall and i fell fainted i don't know what happened after that but i don't think they did that because i knew they were afraid of him"
Aditya and shivank both nodded sighing in relief but then they heard her voice again
"But I was so scared i thought i would never see you both again..."
They stiffened as they look up at her her eyes glistening tears rolling down but she was nodding smiling thinking their heart ached for her and Aditya greeted his teeth, shivank clenched his fist and he quickly embraced her and in the moment Aditya also went to hug her but he hugged shivank as anshika was in his hands and shivank glared at him and growled "back off lovesick bitch don't show off your love infront of me".
Seeing them anshika was confused but relieved also as she smiled and chuckled and said "what happened between you you're not at each other's throats??"
Aditya settled back and shrugged and said "nothing happened and you..." Aditya said but turned to shivank and continue "don't catch feelings for me I'm your sister exclusively husband I'm her's and only her"
Shivank rolled his eyes anshika shiffled a laugh and said "I'm liking this far more than i could imagine"
Shivank look at her and said "don't get cocky I'm enduring his presence only because he saved you i could've killed him if not and you bastard if you ever treated my sister badly I'm gonna settle my score with you once and all"
shivank said threatening Aditya but Aditya smirked and said "don't worry baby your place can't be taken in my heart by someone else now would like to give your sister and your brother in law some privacy"
Anshika eyes widen as she burst out laughing while wincing in pain seeing their bickering both look at her and smiled seeing her happy again caressing her hair shivank stood and went outside not before glaring at Aditya
The door closed and Aditya couldn't stop himself and cupping her face he kissed her as if she was the oxygen he needed sucking her lips that tested like antiseptic full of medicine but he still couldn't stop himself anshika was stiffened but relaxed as she opened her mouth when he bit her lips gently and thrusting his tongue inside her mouth he explored her mouth licking her cheeks from inside feeling the cuts on his tongue and smiled between the kiss knowing how always anshika bites inside her cheek whenever she's in deep thoughts
Exploring her mouth as he sucked her tongue pushing his lips inside her mouth wanting to breathe in her mouth after few minutes later as he felt her breathless he pulled back both lips pale from sucking but anshika lips were rosy from the bite as he connected his forehead against her and breathing heavily he whispered "i was scared"
Anshika smile softly while breathing heavily and said "I'm fine"
Hearing her Aditya shook his head and said "i was scared you will leave me again i thought i would die if i ever feel that pain again you don't know my soul left seeing you in that situation as if my blood drained and rage filled me but i just want to say..."
He stopped thinking of he should say or not anshika Cup his face gently as her hands were bruised hurting her in moment and softly she encouraged him "say what??"
Aditya closed his eyes and finally said " you're not scared of me please tell me you'll never be scared of me because I can't see you scared of me but I'm proud to say i tortured and gave the most brutal death to that bastard who dared to touch you"
And I'm sorry i lost my control over that I just couldn't think after seeing you like that"
Hearing him anshika was scared a little but more felt warmth finally first time she felt she's someone special, first priority, someone who would do anything for her ,to protect her,to punish anyone who hurt her suddenly she remembered her bullys and Said softly "if i would've told you about my bullys you would've killed them but they already died"
Hearing her Aditya hesitated and avoided her eyes contact as he thought she's upset
Seeing him pulling back sitting on stool looking at his lap like he was hiding something she blink and a small smile appeared on her face and she asked "don't tell me you had something more to tell me??"
Hearing her Aditya hesitated scared of her as he sneakily took a glance at her lips to see the situation seeing her smile he breathed a sigh of relief and gave her mischievous smile and said "I'm sorry kitten I just can't control myself when it comes to you and yeah it was me who did that i just couldn't believe myself that i didn't knew that so i hurt them and hurt myself and tried to push myself away from you but i just couldn't and instead of that i started yearning for you"
Anshika smiled and open her arms gently and Aditya quickly took her in his arms and smiling anshika replied
"Thank you, thank you for everything you're the bestest thing happened to me and i couldn't ask for more i didn't knew what I wanted yet I had you, i still have you and I will have you in future too and i want you to know that I'm sorry too for hurting you intentionally or mistakenly but I want you to understand i chosen my brother over you earlier because I was naive and all my life i only had bhai
Who cherished me, loved me, did everything to keep me safe even when mumma papa was never there for me so i felt indepted my life i wanted my brother to have everything it didn't matter if it was my reaction to you or anything but things have changed and I understand what difference is and what's the key to everything and that is love i wanna love you like my person because you make my heart restless and make me feel the things I've never feel
Yeah i did forget you for some time but trust me the moment i saw you my heart felt restless again"
Anshika confessed her tears continue rolling down her cheeks wetting her shirt as he caress her head and his smile widened his heart skipped a beat tears roll down as he kissed her head and said "this is the bestest moment of my life thank you for giving it to me kitten"
Outside the door shivank smiled hearing the last few words of their and thought 'my baby is happy what could I ask for more Aditya please never hurt her she's my life i raised her like my own child i hope she finds her happiness with you'
Doctor came as shivank stopped them and said to come later after few minutes giving them privacy he left also, he was going to go inside to inform doctor was going to hold some test on her but hearing them he stopped.
Time went by and after one month anshika discharge day came till this day anshika was admitted but Aditya also didn't go home some nurse was now familiar with them and always giggle while gossiping about them shipping them as the bestest couple after knowing they're going to marry in few months, anshika and Aditya love grew and seeing them happy shivank thought he made the right decision by letting her be with him and they become bestfriend again.
Anshika injuries took time to get heal because her ankle and ribs where she got hurt more because of the glass that pierced her stomach destroying her ribs but now she's fine.
Doctor came to checked on her and found them cuddling sighing he knocked to gain their attention anshika blushed in embarrassment as she pushed Aditya and he got up sighing glaring at the doctor but one glare and Aditya smiled politely making shivank laugh as he saw his reaction and said "woah the daring Aditya oberoi' being scared of a girl younger than him you should've known it's hospital not your home bastard who told you you can sleep with the patient"
Doctor sigh as he stopped them from going further as he said "Mr Aditya i wanted to anshika can get discharged as you know but there was some test result which we did yesterday and after that we got to know Ms .... I mean Mrs anshika oberoi is severely malnourished so i would suggest you get a help of dietician that way her immune can get stronger otherwise it'll be not good for her and if you plan child in future also"
Aditya frowned not noticing anshika embarrassed awkward smile as he glare at doctor second time first was when he said Ms and now this as he said "what do you mean if ofcourse there'll be children why would I not plan child who gave you the right to think like that and...."
Aditya mouth shut as anshika held his forearm and digged her small nails giving tight lip smile glaring at him and he turned to her and gulping he turned and said "I'm sorry doctor I'll take those necessary action I'll take good care of my kittens "
Hearing him anshika hold loosen and she mumbled kittens?? Aditya nodded and looked at her as if saying are you serious
And sighing he said "kittens my kitten you and then our baby kittens ofcourse i want baby girl boys are annoying girl would be nice pretty and kind hearted like my big kitten"Â saying this he smiled and doctor shook his head smiling and went back shivang just smacked his head and said "so annoying talk about this later first help her get ready mom dad must be waiting at home mom health is not good so she's not here I can't help your kitten you help her I'll go and look for dietician and after that will prepare the discharge papers ready" saying that he went out closing the door
Anshika hid her face in a pillow embarrassed and shy as she heard shivank words of helping her change from the day one Aditya didn't let anyone touch her so he did her every work other than medical work even one time a male nurse was sent to inject her IV drip he didn't let him and asked for a female nurse from that moment nurses started gushing on him for being possesive and protective.
Anshika look at him and said "wait till i get my strength and I'm gonna kill you"
Aditya smirked and replied to her "wait till you get your strength we'll have many times then you can get your precious time in killing me or killing time with me doing some naughty stuff we don't want to fall back in giving mom her grandchildren do we?"
Anshika face went red and she shook her head knowing nothing can happen to him.
Aditya smiled and helped her with changing after a sponge bath and after half an hour he was done
Anshika felt fresh and light after the sponge bath as she didn't had bath for a week almost one time he gave her hath and a little water made the stitching infected and doctor stopped her bath for a week letting it dry for next bath.
Shivank discussed and after preparing the discharge papers he went and sliding the door he stepped inside and said "we can go now"
Aditya nodded and picked anshika up and anshika wrapped her arms around his neck shy buried her face in his chest,shivank rolled his eyes and said "we can also use wheelchair you know but you just can't put your hands away from her"
Anshika felt shy infront of her brother but Aditya just ignored him and said "just get her stuff I'm fine she's mine so i could never be able to forgive myself if i let her sit on that ugly wheelchair and she loves being in my arms you can't just see are you jealous"
Shivank Scoffed and said "she's my sister behave respect me I'm your brother in low or i might change my decision of your marriage" Aditya ignore him and went by as he knew he was just joking everyone started gathering wishing them bye and some nurses were giving them gifts and complimenting them being a cute couple shivank took the gifts and luggage thanking them back as they sat in car Aditya pulled anshika tucking her close to him holding her close in the back seat while shivank sat in passenger seat and driver drove back to anshika place where her parents was waiting for them.
Anshika fell asleep and didn't saw when there destination change from her home to a venue the car came to a hault after one hour and Aditya caressing her head carefully woke her up, shivank got out stretching as servent came and bow him showing him the way as he englufed in brother duties.
Anshika woke up blinking she looked at him snuggling to him Aditya smiled and said "wake up sleepyhead there's surprise awaiting for you"
Hearing him anshika looked up at him blinking as she nodded excited as Aditya got out of the car and opening the door wide he gently carried her taking her out of car as anshika blinked confused and said "we aren't at home i thought we were going home"
Aditya smiled and carried her inside the venue anshika looked around and said "Aditya why are we here i think we're at wrong place where are you taking i think it's someone wedding please don't create scene here adi please"
Aditya just smiled at her and said "why do you think I'm here to create trouble and i that troublesome in your eyes kitten??"
Anshika shook her head and said "no not that but why are we here if someone caught us we'll be going jail adi"
Aditya chuckle at her and said "aren't you curious about your surprise??"
Anshika mind drifted to surprise and she looked at him and asked "yeah what's the surprise I can't wait now tell me now I'm really curious"
Aditya smiled and kissed her head and kicking the door he entered inside anshika looked around and her eyes widen seeing the bridal lehnga and everything along with jewellery and all she turned to Aditya and said panicked "Aditya the hell you're doing it's bridal room why are we here you won't to get caught oh my good where is your brain I'm telling Bhai wait where's bhai ji??"
Aditya laughed at her and placed her on the bed and cupping her face he said "my silly kitten it's your room"
Anshika didn't acknowledge anything as she retored "for god sake adi it's bride's ro..." She stopped herself her eyes widen as she looked at him and said "do you mean i .. I'm... the bride??"
Aditya chuckle and nodded at her and kissing her forehead and hair he exclaimed excitedly saying "it's your surprise our marriage"
Anshika couldn't think properly as she started tearing up and fisting his shirt unknowingly she asked "is it really our wedding day?? Did you mean I'm going to marry today do you really mean it??"
Aditya smiled at her brushing her hairs from her face kissing her forehead look at her face which reflected true happiness, joy which made his heart swell with pure joy and made it beat his heart faster as if it wanted to explode caressing her cheeks he sat beside her placing her in his lap and said "yeah little pie it's our day this time we'll be marrying in front of everyone"
Hearing her nickname given by him years back her heart raced and she hugged him pressing her face in his chest and said "I'm soo happy i loved your surprise you're still the bestest i love you soo much adi you're the bestest"
He froze his heart swelling as he blushed looking away he breathed few times to calm down but anshika heard his heart rhythm and smiling she said "adi?"
Hearing her call him he hummed caressing her head encouraging her to say.
"Do you know your heart is beating so fast i feel soft, comfy and secure as if it's my home" anshika said making his hood on her tighten as she placed her small hands on his heart and said "here as if i always belonged here can I stay here with you always?"
Anshika asked softly caressing his heart Aditya hold tighten yet more as he buried his face in his neck and mumble "finally you know where you belongs, don't worry little pie I'll make sure you stay here in my arms always I'll make sure you return to your home every day and stay here when you want to and even when you don't want to because you're mine and i hope you know that because there's no way out of here now"
He uttered those words with possesiveness and love that made anshika tear up and smiling she nodded
There moment broke when a knock came on door he wiped his own tears of joy before she saw them smiling he kissed her hair and said "come in"
Anshika tried to stood up but he didn't let her and seeing her blushing face he smirked and said "what's the fear my love we're going to marry and already married before i already had a taste of you and everyone knows about us, then why embarrassed??"
Anshika slapped his shoulder flustered and said "behave"
The girls came inside and saw them Aditya was smiling softly at Anshika as he made her sit on bed comfortably and turning to the makeup artists,his face cold again as he said "make her ready quickly she needs to sparkle today treat her with out most care she's
'Mrs Anshika Aditya oberoi' if you did anything wrong then forget working in this industry I'll personally block list you" he said coldly threatening them as they work for his company that deals with big film stars and many more.
Anshika sigh seeing them back cold again pulling his shirt from behind she shook her head stopping him from saying further as he nodded and turning to her he kissed her and went out giving privacy.
The make up artist breathed a sigh as he left and help her get ready while Aditya got ready in another room after one and half hour they were ready and it was already evening as the stars shine in the open sky along with fireworks continuesly making it dreamable
Aditya sat in mandap as anshika parents stood nearby watching pandit ji chants some mantra proceeding with some rituals that Aditya needs to do
All the guests were sitting enjoying the lavish venue of their relatives daughter marriage being envious some of them who knew who Aditya was Aditya side relatives were curious to see who he was going to married knowing his cold demeanor they were curious to see what girl can turn the cold Aditya heart because some of their daughter liked him but he didn't even bait them a single glance they were envious knowing he was rich now and he should marry someone from their home and religion but Aditya ended up marrying a brahman girl even when he's punjabi so their was obviously something better in the girl to make him forget the religion.
Anshika side were envious because they thought anshika was always shy and quite how can she marry someone with this high status, their ego were hurt seeing her marry someone rich when their daughters married someone poor getting scammed by some reason, when their daughters marry someone like those how can anshika marry someone this rich and he even was from other religion.
But no one dared to say anything knowing anshika family never listen to anyone after they separated them from them and came to live in city rather than village.
Pandit ji called anshika parents and asked them to bring bride they informed shivank and shivank leaving the work he went to anshika room and saw her sitting on bed in bridal attire wearing jewellery and soft makeup that made her glow seeing her shivank heart felt heavy remembering the first time he saw her distressed scared with messy makeup and hair wearing bridal lehnga running to him on the airport and his thoughts went back on thinking if he was right by letting her marry the same person she was running away from but knowing the only person make her happy and feel safe was also the very same person so he pushed those thoughts back of his mind and smiling he went and kissed her forehead anshika smiled softly feeling nervous.
As he caress her face and said "still have the time bache if you want to run away I'm more than ready" he teased her seeing her nervous as she hit lightly on her arm and whine "bhai please I'm already nervous I still can't believe I'm getting married".
Shivank laughed and said "it's okay bache we're with you don't you know when your brother is right beside you why are you nervous then you should know by that now no-one can point a finger on you i know you're insecure because of those bastard of relatives but didn't you see before how i smacked their faces how dare they say in our matter when they didn't before, don't worry just focus on your big day Aditya is waiting for you in mandap those bastard relatives are here only because of maa you know how silly our maa is her kindness has no bounds"
Shivank console her and anshika nodded her tears dropped from the corner as shivank wiped them and kissed her forehead and said "let's go hmm??"
He said softly and picked her up because of her leg injury doctor gave strict restrictions on walking too much in not necessary he denied it and now wearing heavy lehnga along with jewellery he didn't want any problem so he easily picked her up as anshika wrapped her arms around his neck as shivank took her outside towards the mandap walking by the guests as everyone looked at them in distaste seeing her brother taking her to the mandap like this but no one said anything as some looked at her with envy and some looked at her with sparkle seeing her beautiful lehnga and jewelry .
Her parents looked at her with love her mother shed tears and her father console her as shivank made her sit beside Aditya but Aditya swiftly took her in his lap sifting her not wanting to make her uncomfortable by letting her sit on small stool everyone gasped anshika eyes widened as she looked at him through the viel Aditya just kissed her forehead and smiled at her and said "i don't want you to uncomfortable sitting there and it's closer i need you i thought i was going crazy for being away from you after almost two hours"
Pandit ji shook his head and smiled at the couple and started proceeding the marriage rituals ahead everyone was looking at them in astonishment and jealousy seeing their love and everything so lavish.
Mantra chants were heard then pandit ji asked them to stand up for pheras Aditya stood up holding anshika in his arms and took pheras and after completing the pheras he sat down again and after that pandit ji asked Aditya to fill anshika mang with sindoor he filled her mang with dark red sindoor as the sindoor fell on her nose in the procedure anshika mom smiled at it and anshika glared at him and said "my nose"
Aditya smiled and said "sorry little pie i was excited and my hand shook let me wipe it"
He was going to wipe it but her mother stopped him and said "it's okay bacho it's a good sign when sindoor fell on bride nose in the procedure it only shows how much her husband loves her"
Aditya looked at her nose and nodded and said "okay maa but you should've informed me before i would've made sure more sindoor fall on her nose but it's fine"
Anshika blushed and looked down at her lap as pandit asked Aditya to tie the mangalsutra around her neck, Aditya carefully tied the mangalsutra around her neck and whispered in her ear between the procedure "now officially you're mine again my little pie".
