VEDANT

"Run run the furthest you can Saransh Mehra i will hunt you down every time you think you managed to escape " i say as i fist his collar looking straight into his eyes to let him know what he has gotten himself into

i so wanted to kill him the moment he touched her i warned him nicely twice

he makes her uncomfortable and i wouldn't let my precious hurt or worry over some useless piece of sh*t

i wrapped my hand around his neck cutting off his air supply pulling him up from the ground again making him face me as he struggled to even breath

"NOOOO" i heard her yelling as she shut her eyes tightly

"Don't do... this.. to me" she chanted grasping for breath clutching her shivering hands in a fist her nails digging inside her skin

i quickly got up leaving him to get his breath back and rushed towards her

i tried to hold her firmly by her arms but she shrugged my hands away

"stay away from me i didn't do anything"

she said as she stepped back still her eyes closed her wholeself shivering

my heart ached for her i know her nightmares i know her demons she is letting them empower over her i felt helpless i couldn't do anything to make her forget those haunting memories

i took some steps towards her and took her into my embrace she wiggled and tried to push me away grasping for breath i cupped her face making her look into my eyes i gestured her parents to go inside

"Breath" i say caressing her cheek wiping off her tears

"it's me jaan look at me please" i say as i kissed her forehead

she wraps her arms around me so tightly as if i will vanish if she leaves me even for a second her head resting on my chest

"He-touched-me" she mumbled between her crying grasping for little breaths as she sniffles

"Please save me-it feels disgusting his touch his voice everything about him is filthy" she said crying harder and clutching on me more tightly

"He's gone long ago meri jaan he won't come again i will never let something like that happen to you again" i say as i caress her head placing a kiss on her head to calm her down

"i can still feel his touch it felt the same today" she says between her sobbing as she loosen her hold from me and rubs her arm harshly where that fucker touched her

"i will erase his touch" she muttered rubbing harshly making that area go red

my heart broke seeing the most precious human of my life breaking down like this she has been through so much yet she didn't react like this in any situation her trauma got triggered again

i held her wrist stopping her from rubbing it more holding her hands close to my chest

"stop it mihi" i say as i wrapped my hand around her nape making her look at me

Her eyes were vulnerable void of any happiness few moments back she was smiling brightly like the rays of sun being playful with me and now her wholeself looks so lost

she stared at me with her red swollen eyes

"why me?" she muttered her eyes asking questions i couldn't answer for now

i attached my forehead with hers my nose touching hers

"I promise i will make it better" i say grazing my thumb on her cheeks wiping her tears

"you are not alone in this jaan" i say kissing her forehead she closed her eyes her breathing getting calm than before

"His touch is burning my skin i feel disgusted" she says while opening her eyes

i held her by her waist pulling herself closer to me as her hands rested on my chest to seek support

"He will regret this i promise" i say caressing her cheek with my thumb as she looked at me with hope

" i want you to feel my touch biwi i want you to know that no other man can touch you this way i want you to feel safe with me " i say softly as she looked into my eyes innocently

i moved closer and our breaths mingled as i kissed the corner of her lips then her cheeks caressing the red mark of her arm i looked into her eyes to seeking any kind of discomfort but i found none so i took it as a yes from her and captured her lips in a slow kiss pouring the sense of safety and all the affection i had for her i didn't got any response from her so i pulled out i didn't wanted to make her uncomfortable but the next thing she said made my heart skip a beat

"Do it again mr.malhotra" she said as she stood close to me breathing heavily she took me off guard by her words

i moved my hand from her waist to her nape as i attached my lips to hers taking her in a slow passionate kiss this time she reciprocated as if she needed this

her fingers tangled in my hairs gripping them lightly

i devoured her lips whole as if getting used to the feeling of her lips, her being this close to me i wanted to picture this moment in my brain till i take my last breath

our heartbeats synching together with the rain pouring down the intimacy calming our hearts i have longed for her to reciprocate my feelings i wanted her to feel every ounce of emotion i have for her in my heart

i pulled out from the kiss gasping for air

she hugged me tightly making me stumble back a little i smiled wrapping my arms around her i could feel her touch right on my skin as our clothes were drenched we stayed still letting the rain pour and wash away the pain

"You are my safe space mr.malhotra" she said her voice muffled as it was raining

You are my everything meri jaan

"I will always be here as i promised" i say kissing her forehead and she gave me a heartwarming smile and closed her eyes resting her head on my chest

"mihi?" i say as it was a few mins she didn't said anything

i tap her cheeks lightly but got no response she passed out

i lifted her in my arms and took her inside the mathur mansion everyone was worried their faces looked tensed i gave them a assuring nod and took her to the room

"Prisha can you umm..change her clothes i will call the doctor" i say and she nodded

i walked out of the room while dialing the doctor

***

"the frequent panic attacks took a toll on her physical health nothing serious to worry about she is just exhausted mentally try not to stress her out with anything" the doctor said as i walked him towards the door

"vedant you know how worse it can get don't let it happen again" he said in a serious tone and i nodded

"thank you uncle" i said and he just smiled nodding

i walked back to her room and saw everyone there

"she will be fine prisha" neeti aunty said patting her head

"she doesn't deserve this tai ji" she said while holding her hand

"nothing is serious she was just exhausted" i say to release the tension lingering in the room

"aunty" i say but she cut me off

"mumma" she said in a matter of fact tone i am still not used to calling her that

"mumma can you make something for her to eat" i asked as i sat beside her

she nodded and took papa and prisha out with her leaving me alone with her

"i promise i won't let anyone hurt you" i say as i kiss her forehead she was still unconscious her face looked calm without any strain

"you are my ray of hope mihika that keeps me going..you are the sole reason of my happiness i wouldn't let anyone snatch away that precious smile of yours" i mumbled holding her hand close to my heart giving it a soft peck

you are this well tangled in my soul that in order to take you away from me i must die

jeene ki wajah hain aap meri jaan

He will beg for his death i will make sure of it that it doesn't comes to him easily

soon she got conscious, adjusting to the surroundings she mumbled 'malhotra ji'

i hurriedly rushed to her buttoning up my shirt roughly as i came out of shower

"You are up how are you feeling?" i asked her and touched her forehead and then cheeks to confirm there wasn't any fever

"i am fine don't worry" she said smiling weakly typical mihika behaviour

"yeah i can see that" i say as i picked up the bowl of soup mumma prepared for her

"open your mouth"

"i-" i didn't let her say anything and started to feed her

"i am not a baby i can have on my own" she said in between

"yeah i know my darling wife but for now let me do it for you" i say as i continued to feed her until there was no soup remaining she smiled looking at me i raised an eyebrow and she just shook her head smiling

"have you eaten anything?" she asked

"i had coffee" i said keeping my arm around her shoulder she leaned in my touch

"that doesn't sound like a meal" she looking at me and i just smiled how selfless could someone be?

i took her in my lap making her gasp her cheeks were flushed

"kya kar-" she was about to say when i pecked her lips and i saw her go all red

i couldn't resist myself from doing so

(what are you-)

i kissed the red mark on her arm she created by rubbing it harshly i wanted to kiss away every scar she had inside out i want to shower her with all that she deserves

"sorry sorry" i said blowing air at her mark as she hissed while i applied the ointment carefully

"ese kya dekh rahin hai biwi? aap ka he pati hun" i say looking at her while tightening my hold around her

(why are you looking at me like that i am your husband only)

she tilted a little and rested her head on my chest her one hand resting just above my heart and other wrapped around my neck

"jaanti hun isliye he dekh rahi thi" she said making me chuckle

(i know that's why i was looking at you only)

"haan to aur kisi ko dekhiyega bhi mat aise dar jayega bichara" i said trying to not look over possesive and she looked at me with a questioning gaze

(yeah? don't even stare at someone like that he will get scared)

"kyun darega main bhoot thodi hun aur vaise bhi itna handsome pati milne ke baad kyun he mai kisiko dekhun" she said innocently playing with the button of my shirt arranging them correctly as i buttoned them roughly her cheeks turned red as she looked at my bare chest and diverted her gaze quickly i smirked internally

(why will he get scared i am not a ghost and why would i even look at someone else when i have such a handsome man for myself)

'aapse kyu mujhse darega na agar zinda bachna chahega toh' i muttered under my breath smiling at her last words

(why will he get scared of you he will be of me if he doesn't have a death wish)

wait did she just called me handsome? my ears turned reddish

"kuch kaha aapne?" she asked as i laid her beside me covering her with the quilt

(you said anything?)

"o ji kuch suna aapne?" i say in the same tone earning a light hearted chuckle as she shook her head

(did you hear anything?)

i smiled and pecked her forehead she closed her eyes snuggling into me as i wrapped my hand around her waist pulling her closer as she slept soundly
