"Call the doctor"

He laid her down on bed and sprinkle some water  droplets on her face hope she woke up but she's not. He took her hands and stared to rub her Palms but due to this her chuuda displace and he saw that burning injury on her wrist. He gently took off her chudda with care   and kept it aside and looking at it shocked. He didn't think clearly to saw her in pain.

Dadu Karan Radhika Abhishek and Krish came there running hearing his voice. When they saw her in unconscious state they all getting tense.

"Abhi call the doctor" Avinash shouted angrily.

"She come in some minutes" Abhi reply but he it clearly show that he also sad to saw his bhabhi in this state.

Radhika came near her and saw that Avinash held her left hand delicately in his hands and stare at that. She saw that injury and gasped in shocked.

"Avi..." before she asked something doctor came. And they went outside to let her checked Aarushi.

Avinash didn't want to go but Krish and Abhi took him to outside. He impatiently pacing outside his room. Anger build in him that mark that injury that tearing face of Aarushi came in front of his eyes.

"Avi what happened? And that injury?" Radhika asked him with so much difficulty as she is so much attached to Aarushi.

He rubbed his hands on his face in frustration and said

"Mom I don't know"

"What? What injury?" Karan asked hearing her

Avinash looked at his father and said taking long breath

"Her wrist is burnt badly"

They all in utter shocked after heard him and kept looking at him in disbelief.

"What but how" dadu asked in little anger

"I don't know dadu." Avinash just saying that he already is very tense and all this questions irritate him now.

"Mom she is in kitchen in morning. Is it from there"? Avinash asked Radhika after remembering that she cooked this morning.

Radhika shake her head in no with teary eyes she said

"No and if like this happened we all knew about this"

Abhishek side hug her and rubbed her shoulder saying

"Mom everything will be fine. Bhabhi will be fine"

Avinash became restless with time. The door opened and doctor came outside.

"How's my wife doctor. Is she fine?" Avinash asked her as she came outside.

The doctor look at everyone specially, especially Avinash.

"Is she's your wife Mr Avinash?" The doctor asked him.

He get angry hearing his non sense question and said

"Yes and we get married yesterday. Now tell me how's my wife"? He asked her control his anger.

"Yes she's fine now. But it looked like she didn't eat properly or not eating from past three days. Her sugar level is very low so I suggest you to not giving her any kind of stress. And I dressing her wound it is better in some days keep dressing it time to time and take care of her diet" she said and everyone breath of relief but not Avinash.

"Mr Avinash can I talk to you"? The doctor asked him more like said to him. He nodded and went little far from everyone.

The doctor look suspiciously to Avinash and he glaring at her.

"Doctor that wound..she's in kitchen this morning"

"No Mr Avinash that injury are 2 days old and there is something apart from that injury"

"What"?

"She had red marks on her cheeks and neck like someone slapped her or trying to force her. But it also not fresh. Look Mr Rathore I know your family from  past many  years and I know that you all respect women so much but about this I'm sorry to say but if you didn't told me that you married only yesterday I myself file a complaint about domestic violence. You know what I'm trying so say"

He nodded he only getting numb to hear all about her. His whole mind on his wife's condition he want to go near with her as soon.

"And about that mark it's hard to....?"

"I don't care about mark."

"OK then take care of her and take care of her diet"

He went to his room Aarushi sleep there whole family looking at her with caring eyes.

"Come let's go. Let her take some rest Avinash is with her" Karan said to them. And they went outside of room.

"Call me if you need anything" Krish said patted Avinash shoulder who's  eyes only at sleeping figure of Aarushi.

After when everybody went he sat besides her and take her hand in his and rub his thumb lightly on back of her hand.

"I'm sorry Aarushi. I have to talk to you hear your side also but I believe on your bastard brother. Even now I didn't know why he do that but I'm sure you gave me my answers"

He kept looking at her sleeping figure. He looked at her cheeks and neck and saw red marks clearly. At looking at it He understood that she tried to hide it with makeup. He took ointment and gently apply on her cheeks and neck.

For sometime He keep looking at her face and then he kissed her forehead. He took his laptop and sat on couch and started working to divert his mind. As he very well know that if his anger overpower him he even might kill Tushar now but he have to wait to hear her side.

After one hour Aarushi opened her eyes she feels her head heavy. It seems blurry to her she rubbed her eyes to look better. She try to sat and looked around her

"How I came in room?" She thought while looking around.

"Let me help you" Avinash said and put his laptop on table and came towards bed.

Aarushi feared looking at him. She sat there and trying to cover herself with duvet.

Avinash saw her and understood that she is uncomfortable so he stop there in some distance. Aarushi looked at side table she feel thirsty.

Avinash saw it and gave her glass of water. First she hesitate she looked at glass then at Avinash.

"Take it."

She took and drank it in one gulp.

"How's you feeling now?" Avinash asked her folding his hands near to chest.

Aarushi didn't look at him just nodded her head.  He looked at her for some minutes but she didn't looked at him.

"I'll bring something for you to eat." He said and going to out of room but stopped in mid as he hear her voice

"How I came here" She asked in her timid shaking voice.

A small smile appear on his face and he went to near bed standing there and said

"You fainted near stairs. And I bring to here. Don't worry doctor came and dressing your wounds"

As he said she looked at her wrist which is dressed now and she wear chudda in one hand and left hand chuuda kept on side table neatly. She thought that its a bad omen to took off chudda before atleast one month what she did now? She thought to wear it back some minutes later. She thought all of this fidgeting her fingers and Avinash keep looking at her. Controlling his urge to held his hands and hug her.

When she didn't reply he went downstairs to bring something for her to eat. First he thought to told his family that she regain consciousness but he stop thought to tell them after she eat something.

Aarushi's pov

Last I remember I am near the stairs coming to this room but after that when I opened my eyes it's like everything changed around me. That man my so called husband spoke with me softly which are hard to digest. Even he told me that he took me to his room but how like seriously in his arms. God why you keep doing this. Even they call the doctor and dress my wounds.

Now I'm sitting on bed thinking that how I face his family what I told them about this.

What I told them that just because of their son stubbornness I'm   here in this state. It's all happening with me because  their son wanted me as his personal slut for some months.

No I didn't told them they seem nice to me moreover Maa took stand for me front of those weird aunties.

"Eat this" I lost in my thoughts but came after hearing his voice

I looked in front me he stood there with a tray in his hands with a smile. What last night he told me to kill my loved once told me to destroy my life and now he gave me smile for what.

I keep looking at him in confusion and he put that tray in front of me on bed and said

"Eat after that you also take your medicine. Doctor told me that you didn't eat properly from past days"

His voice stern in last like he was angry on me. Like when he is not.

He sat in front of me with a good distance between us. He took the glass of juice and forward to me. But before that it reach near my mouth I took it from his hands and took a sip of it.

I think he understands that I'm anxious when he is around me so he said me to eat properly and went to balcony.

I drank juice and eat some fruits I feel his intense gaze on me. After these some meeting I knew his gaze or I say my body intensively know that he is. But a weird thing happened in all these that I didn't feel this intense gaze disgusting. Like I knew I'm mad but I don't have answer for it.

After some minutes he came back with a tightened jaw and a popping vein from his forehead and stood in front of me.

Looking directly into my soul I keep looking at him trying to find what I done this time that he angry.

"Do you know who is Manisha and Neeraj Rajput" he asked me in stern voice.

My eyes become moist after hearing their name I'm also happy but more anxious why they are here. If this devil know that who they are what if he do with them. I get off from bed and stood front of him.

"I asked something?" He again asked more like threatening

"Yes they are my sister and brother in law" I said and get up from bed. I gulped in fear what he will do

He took a step towards me and bent a little to match my height and said more like threatening me

" I know that you are hiding something from me whatever it is now I want my answers. I want the story behind of your this state. Probably your sister didn't knew anything but I want to know everything now. Your sister came to meet you so better of speak whole truth because I hate lies"

My eyes  widened after hearing him. I gulped audibly and nodded in yes. Did he really don't know that because of him I'm in this state. He is the main reason.

He held my right wrist and took me to out of room. We are going downstairs near the stairs I hear the voices of Manisha di she's shouting. I wiggled in his hold to free my self. When we approached half stairs he release me from his hold and I ran towards the direction where Manisha di and neeraj jiju stood.

They stood between in living room and everyone around them at distance. I hear her saying that

"Your son kidnapped my sister and he  marry with  her forcefully"

I ran and hugged her tight trying to hide in her embrace. To hide myself from that unknown fear. She caressed my hairs and said in heavy voice

"Aaru we are here. Don't need to be fear we are with you"

I sobbing hard  hearing this. I wanted to break myself now that feeling is hard to maintain. I'm tired now to hold this feelings either it's going everything good or break everything but what ever it is hope to better from this. She forcefully break hug and held my shoulder and asked me

"Tell me Aaru what happened"

I saw in her eyes I wanted to speak everything what happened with me I wanted to but when I saw tears in her eyes and a kind of defeat, my courage broke down.

I feel a hand on my head I looked up and it's Neeraj jiju he looked at me with concern. I hugged him he kept caresses my hairs and said me

"Aaru please told us what happened after we go. We want to know everything how you ended up marry suddenly how Aaru. Please tell us it's like we are not capable to protect you please Aarushi"

"no no jiju its not your mistake please don't feel guilty" I said breaking the hug and wipe my tears from back of my hand.

"Then tell us" Di said me caresses my cheek. I held her hand tightly and took a deep breath it's painful to said those words but I have to. Tears continuously flowing from my eyes.

I told them everything what happen after they left. How Tushar bhai and Priya bhabhi both sealed every way of mine to ran away or to contact them. How they told me that they sold me to him. What they do when I tried to protest. These injury everything I told them. How they told me if I didn't marry him he will kill Kittu.

"Di he sold me I'm not a thing na then why he do this to me. He told me that after some months that man left........di I'm not a thing"

I told them but ended up in hiccups.

Avinash's pov

I'm shock is an underestimate. I know something is hidden from me but this is beyond my thoughts. I looked at my family who all are frozen in their places no one even thought that she is hiding all this bitter words inside her. Even if she is in pain she is trying to look happy in front of my family. I feel guilty on my behavior.

"Di he sold me I'm not a thing na then why he do this to me. He told me that after some months that man left........di I'm not a thing"

Her words make me feel anger how her own brother said those cheap words to her. Now I understood all of this. He planned this everything for money and we both are in pawn but little bit he know that he was trying to play with Avinash Singh Rathore who has mind like a hawk.

"No Bacha you are  not a thing you are our strong Aarushi. And now you are coming with us" his brother in law Neeraj said wiping her tears and held her hands going towards door.

What the hell I never allow anyone to distance her from me. She is not going anywhere.  I went and held her hand which held by Neeraj stopping him to go.

"She is my wife she is not going anywhere" I told him looking in his eyes  gritting my teeth.

He looking  at me with same anger. I turn my face to Aarushi tears on her face pleading to let her go. But I didn't let her go in my every birth.

"Why she didn't go anywhere? She is in this state because of you. You are the main cause" he said backing my attention  to him.

"I'm not the cause it's that bastard who try to play with us." I said hard controlling my anger because if I wanted to give a quick solution I empty my gun in their head but I can't because it's my dear wife family. And I have to bear them.

He released her hands she looks at him like he betray her. Good for him to release her hands. He turn and stood in front of me and asked in high pitch tone

"Its really his plan but you are the equal part in that....."

"I'm not"

"Then what about your company shares and protery which you give him. Tell us haa....."

He asked me with bitterness. How he know all this.

I wanted to tell all this to Aarushi first but now I don't have any choice. I took a deep breath and looked at her she looked at me her eyes  asking so many questions.

"Avi tell us?' Dad asked me sternly.

"He tried to trick with me so I trick him in back. He told me to transfer company's shares and house and cars in Mumbai because Aarushi wants it......"

"But I don't......" She said more like statement.

"I know......that's why I told him to happen this marriage next day and I make papers for all that property but it state clearly on those papers that all this property it's on Aarushi Avinash Singh Rathore and Avinash Singh Rathore we both are equally partners of all that. So basically he gets nothing"

"But bhai forcefully  get my signature on some papers before wedding" Aarushi said to me. I surprise how she even consider him as her brother who told her those creep words. I know he did something like that.

I looked into her eyes and said

"Its doesn't matter because at that time you are Aarushi Sharma and I gave all of that to my wife and moreover that time our marriage is not registered so he got just a piece of paper nothing else."

She looked surprised and out of words. I think it's hard to proceed all of these to her.

I looked at my family dad gave me a pound smirk and mom looked like prasing me but more surprising, dadu standing proudly there but something it's not right. Krish and Abhi gave me a thumbs up look.

"But what about her consent  this wedding is happen without her consent so Aarushi is going with us" Manisha her sister said and step forward to held her hand but before it happen I stand between her and Aarushi. No one held that power to took her away from me. I glare at her and she glare to me with same intensity. She is pole apart from my Aarushi. My wife is cute innocent introvert but her sister is looking like a wild cat ready to fight.

"ENOUGH.." we stopped our glaring match by hear shouting of Dadu. Aarushi clearly sacred by his shouting and clutched my shirt sleeves from arms.

Ohhoo my cute wife. I told dadu later what he did now. He scare my wife.

"We all sit and talk properly on this matter" dadu said and sit on couch.

"Yes they are married now in a sacred bond its not a doll wedding that we break after some minutes we need to talk on this" Mom said and hoped that they both ready to talk and they did.

We all settled on couch in living room dadu is on single couch, mom and dad settle besides him, Aarushi sit on one couch between Neeraj and Manisha , I settle in front of her and Krish and Abhi sit besides me.

She held Neeraj and manisha hand I clearly seen that she trust them both blindly. Her head is low looking at her lap. I wanted to wipe her tears but I stopped myself.

"See from our side it's didn't as like that like your brother described. We went to your home asking for Aarushi's hand for our Avinash but I see that he didn't even told this to her" dadu said and looked at Aarushi she nodded her head in  no.

That mff......

"We all didn't gave permission to separate them  gave them a chance. And moreover divorce is not allow in our family." Dad said and last line sternly said. I looked at Dad how he even thought that I divorced my wife. No never

"But how you know about all this?" Krish asked which I wanted to asked from start. How he bastard told them opposite situation and they all misunderstood it

"He send us message that Avinash forcefully kidnapped Aarushi and marry her and in exchange He get some property so he didn't said anything"  Neeraj said looking tensed.

"We can't trust them."

Manisha said getting my attention why these sisters didn't trust him. Ok he did all this facade but did he something in past from which they all clearly don't trust his decision.

"But this marriage is truth and from starting We didn't hide anything it's just misunderstanding by Tushar.." Dadu said trying to get decision in my favor

I'm not so patience man but for my wife I wait my whole life.

They all quiet for some minutes we all waiting for their answer. Then Neeraj said breaking the silence

"OK but we wanted to talk Aarushi in private"

I went to told them no. But dad gave permission and told Abhi to took them in guest room. They all went and now every eye is on me.

"You know all these" Dad asked me little in anger.

"I only know half truth" I answered and looking at my side Krish glaring at me. I didn't even kill him he is my only best friend.

Abhi came and sit besides me.

"We  don't know how she bear all these. She suffer all this alone" Mom said sadly. Dad held her hand trying to console her. They all are sad and I'm like a manic hope that she will take decision to stay here with me near me. And if she will not then I gave her every reason to stay with me even she's far from me.

About half and hour later they came and stood near couch we all stand and waiting for their answer. She looks somehow sad.

Please jaan give me one chance I gave you every reason to be happy. I cherish your every moment just trust in this moment.

"Mr Rathore" Neeraj said to dadu and said

"We trust in your words and also Aarushi took decision to stay here i hope she never regret it" he said asking for confirmation.

Yes she never regret her decision I gave her all happiness i never let a single tear in her eyes.

Dad step forward and patted Aarushi head and said

"No my daughter never regret this decision we all with her always"

I looked at Aarushi her head is low she's still sad. Her sister Manisha  throwing daggers on me but it's not affect on me. Now my only concern is my wife.

Neeraj turned towards me and said in stern voice

"Take care of her  otherwise next time I will took her back and no one stop me"
