•Chapter-57•

Priya's POV:

      I removed my outfit and started changing Diya's diaper. After that I washed my hands and started cooeing her to sleep. Barely after few minutes she closed her eyes and I kept her in the crib sighing when the door burst open making me startled. 

      I saw Abhay grinning as he came inside. He took my face in his and kissed my forehead making me smile. "She slept?" he asked removing watch from his wrist to which I nodded my head.

               He went to closet and came after changing. He came back and hugged me from behind as I leaned over our balcony's railing. His one hand on my collar bones area while his other hand on my waist as he rested his face in my neck sending me the familiar shivers that always comes when he is near to me.

     I sighed with the relief and rested my head against his shoulder. He suddenly scooped me in his arms making me startled and sat in the couch that was placed in the balcony itself. He made me sit in his lap.

          I rested my head against his chest again as he started to massage my head making me moan in relief... He kissed my temples and hugged me tight. I circled my arms around his neck as his grip tightened around my frame. "I missed this." He said. "Me too..." I replied earning a grin from him. I leaned into him as he took the scene to an end with his mouth watering kiss sending me into a whole different dimensions with all those familiar feelings. As I was about to kiss him back I heard Diya's cry and pulled away. "Time for parenting." I mumbled and he chuckled before getting up from the seat. We went inside and he took Diya in his hands as he pushed me to lay on the bed. He cradled her and started sweet talking to her..

       The sight infront me is enough peaceful to push me into a deep slumber as I know no matter what my husband will be there with me and protect our family from the storms we will face... And I am very glad that I am not alone now...and I have him with me...

     The next day Abhay suggested us to leave for zoo since he that was Saturday... The time is 7 by then and we started getting ready. Me, Naina, Abhay and Vinay bhaiyya are leaving for the zoo since my in-laws thought to rest.

         The ride to zoo park is very smooth with songs playing in the background. I called Sameera to invite but for some reason she seemed busy to me.

           Soon I saw the board of the park. We parked the car, got out of it. After buying tickets we all entered inside. Slowly we started looking at those animals and Diya was very excited when she saw an elephant.

             We all are having fun time and soon it's noon and Diya needs her food, so Abhay asked us to take break near the small food store near by. Me and Naina along with Diya sat in the chairs there as the men went to order food. After sometime they came back and we all are after I feed Diya.

     We again started exploring the place and the whole time Diya watched every animal with keen look on her face. She wasnt even afraid of those animals. All the time she was either giggling or clapping.

             The dusk started to fall down and we decided to leave. We three aka me, Naina and Diya waited as the men went to bring the car. We were just talking when I heard the sounds of some people quaralleing.

   We turned towards the sound and saw a man messing with Abhay and Abhay is having a calm face.

        I took large strides towards the place.
" What is happening?" I heard Naina say and saw the man infront me smirk as he took in my appearance making me huff.

                   "Hm... Now I know why my boss is interested in this woman!" He said checking me out. I frowned and I heard Abhay's growl.

             "Hahaha don't growl at me boy!" He said and before Abhay can lunge on him Vinay bhaiyya stopped him.

              The man infront of me chuckled... He is clearly not knowing with whom he is messing. " I will see you later but now give me that girl in your hand." He said to me and my scowl deepened at him.

        I secured Diya in my hands and he took steps towards me but I didn't flinch. I felt him try to forcefully take Diya from my grip when he was roughly pushed away from me.

         In a a fraction of seconds I heard him scream his lungs out as I saw Abhay twisting his hand. He pushed the man down and kicked him on his face. He bent down and started punching him. Soon the crowd gathered and then Vinay bhaiyya called to someone. Soon we saw a car coming.

      Abhay released him and dragged the man who is half lifeless and fill of blood body with his right hand. A man got down from the car and Abhay pushed that man to the the other man who just came. "Cut his hands and legs and send them as gift from my side to his boss. This will become a lesson to him to not mess with me again." I heard him say and come towards us.

       As soon as he looked at me I found his eyes softening. He came towards me and took Diya in his one hand while his another one circled around my frame. So many questions are running in my mind. One of them is Who is DIYA? And why they want HER.

Sameera's POV:

I took the veggies from the fridge. Washed them with the water nicely.

     I took rice and after cleaning it with water thoroughly I removed the water and kept the rice aside and started cutting the  the veggies. After sometime I started making pulav with them. Soon the pulav completed and I started to stir it for one last time when I felt someone's presence behind me. I turned to see Vikram.

       He stared at me with blank face. "Another attack on Diya." He stated making my breath hitch. "Is she okay?" I asked frowning deeply as the little girl's face flashed infront of my eyes...

          "Yeah. Vinay called to inform." He said . "Shall we go and see them once?".I asked him putting the stove off. "No need baby.. Abhay will take care. Don't worry." He said kissing my forehead as I hugged him.

       Later I served the dinner and we both are in the silence my mind still on Priya and Diya... I know Abhay will survive anything. He is the Devil of Devils after all... But Diya and Priya...

            I closed my eyes and sighed as I sat on our bed. I felt Vikram's presence beside me. He pulled me into his lap making me.startled suddenly and my hands reached his shoulders. He gave me a goofy smile making my heart skip a beat. "Stop over-thinking about it wifey... If something happens Abhay is there, I will be there, Ajay is there... Don't give too much pressure to that peanut size brain of yours!" He said chuckling making me gasp.

            "What did you say?" I exclaimed and he laughed looking at my expression making me pinch his hand making him hiss... "So my brain is peanut size na.. then leave me now. I have to sleep and let it get sharpen." I said and pushed him away and laid on my side of bed. I felt him lay in the bed too and he came towards me and his breath fanned against my ear as goosebumps arose on my body.

                " Sleep only makes you dumb you know... Sleeping so much will not help you sharpen your brain." He whispered as if it's a secret in my ears making me role my eyes. As if I don't know! "Ahan? Then what should I do to sharpen my brain sir?" I asked turning towards him as now our noses are touching now. "There are so many lessons to become sharp........" He said said seductively as his hand travelled to my hem of the top as he lifted it cupped my bare waist. "Looks like I have to start them to sharpen your brain." He said kissing me behind my earlobe as my fingers got locked with his hair. "Yes please..." I said making the beast go more wild...
