Ruhanika pov

I was feeling relaxed that Ekansh didn't ask me anything about my past but he himself was zoning out since the phone call ...

" What happened...you seem disturbed after the phone call ? " I asked him

He shrugged and smiled at me

" Nothing.. just some business related issues. You should rest . ." he said stopping the car at entrance of house .

We both went inside only to see Rohan playing video game in living room ..

" You both are back ..well I made Ruhi sleep ..so you guys can rest without any worry " Rohan said

" You should go to sleep too " Ekansh said removing his tie and loosening his coat button..

" Hmm good night Bhai and Ruhanika Bhabhi " he said winking at us making me chuckled...

" Umm .. thankyou for today -

I said as i saw Ekansh going upstairs.but he stopped and look at me

" Thanks is not enough..I need you to tell me about your past .. " he said coming close to me

I don't want him to hate me . He doesn't love me but it's fine but I can't tolerate if everyone here also started to hate me what if he separate me from ruhi too ...no I need to let this go ... I can't tell him atleast not now

" Ekansh it -it would take hours to explain -

"Then i would listen to you for hours " he said making me nervous .

" Ekansh I can't -

Before i could say something his finger meet my lips ...

"Take your time Ruhanika.. but I want to assure you about one thing i don't care about your past. I still do not but what I see today is telling me your past is disturbing your present and your present is me . And Ekansh Malohtra wife only deserve happiness ...and if something is bothering her it's my responsibility to erase the reason .. " he said

My heart which is as cold as ice glacier immune to hatred words ..i could practically feel melting it ... But words are always not meant to be true that's the one thing i learned from my past ....

" Saying is easy ..you will hate me -

" I could never Ruhanika maybe at some point i found you irritating but hate is not something which i would ever feel for you .. a girl who is giving selfless love to my family i could never hate her infact I will always be grateful to you .. it's ok take your time . I know trust is not something which I can give you by words ..by time i will try to earn it . But if you ever feel like crying or sharing i swear I will not ask may single question to you ..." He said

" You said don't expect anything from me ..then why are you giving me opportunity to expect something from you ?? " I asked controlling my tears which could flash anytime...

" I never said don't expect anything from me ... All i said is I will give you respect, I will trust you but only thing I can't give you is -

" Love ..." I said as a chuckled leave my mouth...

" Ruhanika i-

" No it's fine infact we are better as friends i think... Love isn't something which could ever come between us and also it will make things awkward, right ??" I said

" Hmm .. good night " he said

" Good night to you too .. " i replied and went to my room ..

I close the door but i realised the door to my heart is opening for someone who will never enter ...

I went in washroom and changed my dress , clutching my hair into bun and sit to study and drown myself in books not before having a thought...

I am studying law because i want to give justice to myself...but today just a thought of having glimpse of kavyansh shook me to core .. will I able to challenge him in court??

Ekansh pov :-

I Miss you every second Ishita ...I am sorry for spending less time with you nowadays..

" You know after many days I feel my heart clenched for someone else expect you ... She never cried not even today just two tears but her shivering body was in my embarce showing if she cried she will drown in her own tears... I want to know what happened to her ...but she is not willing to tell me .. am I not trustworthy.. ?? You used to tell me every single thing what you ate ..what you cook and she is totally opposite of you a mystery... I can win anything but you know where I get defeated when my loved ones tears fell ..it made me feel like I am not enough..I am a failure .. i want my loved ones to happy..they are the reason I am living -

"Happiness is perfume you can't pour on others until you pour few drops on yourself.."

I turn and saw dad entering into my room...

" Sorry for eavesdropping... " He said and sit infront of me. .

" I am happy dad ..if you guys are happy I am happy too " I said placing Ishita frame on study..

" That's not happiness..you want to see your loved ones happy but have you ever thought that's what your loved one want. I am thankful to Ruhanika i have seen many changes in your I saw you laughing, teasing eachother... -

" But she is not happy -

" So as you ... You want to know about her pain that she didn't tell that means that's buried inside her corner of heart . You can't give her space in your room and you are thinking she will let you reach in the corner of heart?? " Dad said

" It has nothing to do with room -

" It has ..she is your wife doesn't matter in which situation she is your wife and it's undeniable fact . Some people can't tell you their pain you have to find them ...you have to observe them and for that you need to stay near her ..you need to understand her . Usually after marriage people go on honeymoon or any place to visit alone why Not because of privacy but also an opportunity to know eachother...your marriage situation is not same so we guys didn't forced you but atleast you can stay under one roof and try to know eachother... " Dad said

" Dad i only love Ishita and no one can take her place ... And I knew where this topic is leading" I said standing up ...

" Then why did you beg infront of God when you thought Ruhanika fall from stairs...a man who didn't step inside temple after his mother death ...then why -

" Cause I care for her but caring for someone doesn't mean loving... Yes she is close to me but she will never be able to take Ishita place -

" She is not someone who will take over someone place she is that type of girl who will win others heart and make a place for herself... and I am not asking you to forget Ishita ..Ishita was also like my daughter...but just how Ruhanika had a past and you don't want her past to effect her present that's how you had a past but your past is effecting your present too .. you both need to move on from your past ..from your past experiences...think it over ... " Dad said patting my shoulder

" I got a call from kavyansh " I said making dad stopped on his track...

" We will talk about this in morning..sleep for now tomorrow day will be hectic you made us shift into a new house cause of your wife comfort..." Dad said

" It's because i want the mansion to renovate..." He said

" I am your father Ekansh lie to someone who doesn't know you ..." Dad said and leave...

Author pov :-

Next day :-

After the Havan and Pooja Ekansh and family went to new house...

As they get out of car and move towards the new house Ruhanika eyes widened seeing the name plate ...

" Mrs Ruhanika Ekansh Malohtra.."

She look at everyone and all of them were smiling at her

" Mumma how do you like this surprise and your new home ... " Ruhi said holding her finger ...

" I will bring the plate of sindoor " dad said and went for a moment ..

" Ekansh this -

" I didn't bluff when I said "ghr ki Laxmi ko Laxmi Dene Mai kaisi sharm .. " i meant that ...

" You don't need to you can had dad name or rohan-

" Dear Ruhanika bhabhi we don't need it ... Infact that's good the house is on your name atleast in future Bhai can't say Rohan get out of my house.. " Rohan said while laughing....

" And moreover dad , me and Ekansh Bhai we all have each plot on our name ... You are the new member and take it as wedding gift from Bhai since he didn't give you any ... " Rohan said laughing

Ruhanika pov :-

This is what I was lacking...the respect and love which I am getting... And there love is making me more scared to tell them truth...

Soon dad come with sindoor thali and asked me to imprint my hands on wall ...

I called ruhi and make her dipped in sindoor and firstly imprint her small cute hands on wall .and then i imprint my hands on the wall...
