26.

"come on abhimanyu one more bite" ishika spoke as she was feeding him soup. "Jaan i am already full I don't like it" abhimanyu shook his head pursing his lips. Ishika sighed "abhi you gotta finish this" abhimanyu was still not opening his mouth. He was tired of these different kinds of weird tasting soups.

"Mr Singh, are you opening your mouth or not?" Abhi knows whenever she is angry she calls him Mr Singh. He couldn't afford to make her angry so he just opened his mouth to drink the bitter soup. After he was finished Ishika helped Abhimanyu lay down properly. "Now rest" Ishika was about to go to the couch but Abhi held her hand.

"Jaan i listened to you and drank the soup.. now you listen to me" ishika frowned looking at Abhimanyu. "What do you want me to do?" Abhimanyu didn't say anything, he pulled her towards him and she landed on him. "Abhi you are hurt" abhimanyu tucked the hair strand behind her ear which was falling on her face.

"I am alright i just wanted to hug my wife.. this bed is enough for two people" ishika huffs and slides besides abhimanyu, Abhi wrapped his hands around her waist pulling her close with her head landing on his chest. "That's it jaan I'll be alright now" abhimanyu whispered and kissed her cheeks.

Ishika buries her face in his chest. It was after days she got to feel his warmth. Her messy mind automatically calmed down and she closed her eyes feeling his rhythmic heartbeat.

Meanwhile:

Neel was busy tracing the person who hit abhimanyu. He doubted it was a normal accident. He had read the messages from stalker , he knew it was intentional and once he finds out who that fucker is he won't leave that guy for hurting his friend.

Raghav walked in neel's cabin "bhai.. that number plate is destroyed" neel sighs he was scared of this thing cause once the number plate is destroyed tracing it would be harder. "Who owned it before?" Neels asked, pressing his nose bridge. "Someone named Ashok" neel hums , "get information about this guy named Ashok.. he will may be lead us to the stalker.. that stalker isn't dumb to use his own car"

Raghav nods and leaves Neel's cabin. He was going on his own when he saw a familiar figure standing out of his cabin leaning against the wall. He couldn't believe his eyes that someday Ananya would actually go and visit him. He walks close trying to hide his excitement. He clears his throat, gaining Ananya's attention.

Ananya looked at him and stood up straight. "H..hi" she spoke awkwardly, she didn't know how to greet him, like he was a bodyguard too and he was COO of Elite Security. "Come in and talk" Raghav could figure out that Ananya must have something to say. He led Ananya to his cabin. Ananya sat down on the small couch in his cabin.

She was fidgeting her finger nervously. "Hm so what do you wanna talk about?" Raghav asked, "how do you know i am here to talk about something?" Ananya asked looking at him "if not why would you come here?" Raghav Signalled her to drink the coffee.

"Can you..train me?" Ananya asked after taking a sip of coffee. It tasted just how she liked it. "train you?" Raghav asked confused, "till now I was pampered by my mother, father and my two brothers.. that i thought the whole world is the same.. but now i know how a person can turn into a monster, i don't want to stay weak and vulnerable anymore.. i want to strong enough to protect myself and my family"

Ananya let it all out she had been feeling for months. Raghav very well knew that the incident had shattered her. He himself still feels his skin hair when he remembers that night..what if he was not there on time.. what could have happened.

"Can you?" Ananya asked, looking at him. "I can..but can you take in my training? I don't go easy on anyone.. will you be able to endure it?" Raghav asked , he was strict when it came to training. He won't go easy on her just because he loves her, what's the point if she can't learn it. He got to be harsh when training.

"Don't worry I'll endure it" Ananya spoke determinedly. "Tomorrow 10 am sharp be here" Raghav spoke and got up. "Come I'll drop you home" ananya got up too "but i got my car"

"I won't be at peace if you go alone.. I'll drop you" he walked out of the cabin without waiting for Ananya's reply. Ananya pouts she found it rude that he didn't let her deny but also she felt her heart skip a beat knowing how much he cared. She walked out of the cabin following him out to the car.

Raghav drove to the mansion and dropped her. Ananya was about to walk in, he called her out. Ananya looked at him waiting for him to talk further. "Ananya, it's okay to make mistakes.. you always learn from your mistakes.. don't be hard on yourself" he gave her a small smile and drove off.

A week later:

It's been a week since Abhimanyu was admitted to hospital and now it was time for his discharge. Though he was getting discharged he was not allowed to go work or stress his mind for someday. Armaan finished all the discharged formalities.

"Let's go home bhai" armaan and ishika helped Abhimanyu to the car and armaan drove to the mansion. After a long drive they reached the mansion, radhika welcomed abhimanyu and ishika led abhimanyu to Their room. She helped him to bed and put a pillow behind his back.

She sat down beside him. "Jaan you should rest you must be tired" abhimanyu spoke caressing her cheeks. "you have been taking care of me without resting.. you'll get sick" abhimanyu continued, ishika shook her head "i am fine hubby I'll feed you and rest"

"Jaan my hands are legs are alright i can eat myself" Abhimanyu spoke waving his hands in front of her. "I'll get your porridge" Ishika got up to leave and Abhimanyu held her hand and pulled her on his lap. He wrapped his hand around her waist and her hand automatically went on his chest. He leaned close to her ear "Jaan you aren't listening to me these days" he whispered his hot breath felt in her ear and she felt a tingling sensation.

"I .. i am listening to you okay" ishika was shuttering, he always does this always makes her stomach full of butterflies. Abhimanyu left kisses on down her neck and Ishika clutched on Abhimanyu's shirt tightly. "A..abhi... you are hurt" abhimanyu tightened grip around Ishika's waist. "Jaan i haven't hurt my lips.. i can kiss you"

He looked at her and cupped her cheeks "am i making you uncomfortable? Hm?" He asked in a soft tone. Ishika shook her head "no.. i mean i.." abhimanyu shushed her "it's okay wifey.. just rest now okey?"

"But your food?" Abhimanyu pats her head "maid will get the bowl of porridge and I'll eat it all okay?" Ishika forwarded her pinky to him. "Promise?" Abhimanyu chuckles at his wife's cute behaviour and tangles his pinky with her. "promise jaan" Ishika nods satisfied and lays down beside him.

"Now sleep wifey or else.. I have other ways to make you tired and you know..." abhimanyu said, teasing her. Ishika's ears turned red, she turned to the other side and she covered her face with a comforter. "I am sleeping i am sleeping" abhimanyu just laughed and wrapped his hand around her pulling her close.

Her back hit his chest, he buried his face in her neck and they both drift off to sleep.
