...Preet...
Next morning I woke up with the constant ringing of my phone, looking at the caller id I picked it up instantly.

"Bha Bhabhi." I heard Kashish sniffle from the other side.
I sat up with a jerk.
"Kashish. What happened? Are you okay? Is everyone fine at home?"

"Bhabhi I just went out for a drive and from the last 15 to 20 minutes there is a car following me and in that is one of the goons who_ who.."

"Who what Kashish?" I asked getting off the bed and walking to the closet.

"Who raped me Bhabhi." She said.
I was shocked but I had expected something like this to happen.

"Kashish what are you wearing?" I asked her.

"White shirt and blue tracks and a hoodie." She replied sniffling.

I simultaneously found something similar and got dressed. Picking my car eyes I ran downstairs.

"Where are you now?" I asked her.

"Indira Market."

"Exactly where Kashish." I asked starting my car.

"The Amul outlet at Indira market." She replied.

"Okay great, take a left from there and go straight, there is a building named Golden Heights, go in there. I have a friend who lives there, flat number 505. Stay there till I reach you." I warned her and hung the call informing my friend Palak who stays there about it and she was more than ready to help.
Driving I simultaneously called up Zayn.
He picked the call at the very first ring.
"Zayn, I need your help." I said.
Zayn was one of the crime department official.
I explained everything to him. He was the one who suspected threat for Kashish and we already had a plan ready.
Zayn connected Abhi and both of them got to work.
I purposely did not inform Kabir since I knew he would just panic and wouldn't let me do this.

Within minutes I was at my friends place.
I calmed Kashish down first. I instantly asked her for her hoodie and secured my hair in a side braid like her.
I asked her to get changed in one of Palak's dress and told her to take my car and go home straight where Abhi was waiting.
She was about to step out of the house when I called he and she turned around.

"Do not tell anyone about this. Neither you brother nor mine. At least not till I am home." I said hugging her only to be hugged back.

"And if by chance anything happens to me, never blame yourself for it and just tell your brother that I love him." She was scared hearing this.

Shit this wasn't supposed to scare her.

"Kashish I can trust you right?" I asked her and she nodded.

"I'll be waiting for you Bhabhi." She said confidently moving out of the house.
It was only when Abhi informed me that Kashish reached home safely that I got into action.
I pulled over Kashish's hoodie and went down thanking Palak.
I pulled the hoodie over my head and opened Kashish's car.
I was just about to enter the car when I felt a hand on my shoulder. The moment I turned around a man held my mouth shut so that I couldn't scream.
My plan was working the did misunderstand me as Kashish.

He dragged me to a white Innova. I placed the magnetic transistor on the car carefully that would lead Zayn to where I was .
I was thrown inside the car practically.
Within minutes I was driven to a deserted area.
I hand my hands tied and mouth shut.
The same guy pulled me out and threw me on a chair.

I heard shuffling but couldn't see anything since it was dark around.
I was sure we were in a deserted factory but where I had no idea.
Within minutes I saw a feminine figure walking towards me and then with a flash there was a high powered light being thrown on our face. The moment my hoodie was pulled down the lady cursed. I had heard the voice but I just couldn't point out.

"Idiot she is the wrong girl." she said and I let out a chuckle since my my mouth was no more taped.
The moment the guys pulled the tape it hurt like a bitch.

Hearing my laugh the lady was irritated but then her next words made me want to slap her.

"But never mind, she is equally important to the Malhotra's, especially my so called son." The lady said coming in the view.
I gasped out loud looking at her she was none other that Namitha Oberoi.
"Namitha Aunty." I said out loud.

"Ohh, yes it me My dear Daughter in law." She said pulling my hair as I winced.

"What did you think I will leave the Malhotra's so easily. You weren't on my hit list but the day you insulted me on the Diwali party I was so waiting for such a moment." She said and pulled me by my hair again and this time slapped me.
I wouldn't lie she was tough enough. The slap was so tight that I was sure my lips were bleeding and that this would leave a mark.
Coming in front again she took a seat opposite to me.

"So you were the one behind Kashish's rape?" I asked.

"Yes, it was me. Not only that do you remember Kabir's accident a few months back.
That too was planned. But he was saved I again tried killing him with the help of that bimbo Ananya but no you saved him but now who is going to save you? " She said proudly.

"You planned to kill your own son." I asked in disgust.

"Ohh, please he is not my son that bloody basta*d good for nothing assh*le." She cursed.

"Shut up you bitch." I said annoyed.
This time just this time let my manners F**k off.
She got her infuriated and standing up she slapped me again.

"If I was you I wouldn't be swearing at the person who can dig your grave right here." She said.

I laughed, yes I laughed. No I didn't loose my senses.

"Why are you laughing?" She asked irritated.

"If I was you, I wouldn't have steeped so low. But tell me one thing how can you be so dumb? You are planning my death? Do I need to remind
You who I am?" I asked laughing louder getting her worked up.

"I am the wife of Kabir Malhotra and the sister of Aryan Saxena. If even one of them comes to know you even touched me forget about the slaps, you and I both know who's grave would be dug." I said confidently and she looked scared.

"This. This is what I wanted to see. You being scared." I pointed out her face.

"What makes you think I will leave you alive?" She asked.

"What makes you think I am so dumb? I switched places with Kashish to confuse you guys. I planned all this. If I could plan all this wouldn't I have an exit out of here?" I asked her.
Getting worked up she picked up the gun and pointed it towards me and I closed my eyes. The moment I closed my eyes the only face that crossed my mind was his.
At the count of three I heard a gun shot.
I instantly opened my eyes only to find Namitha Aunty laying down in the pool of blood clutching her hand.
Police surrounded us immediately while Zayn and Abhi rushed towards me opening my hands and legs.
Abhi instantly pulled me in a hug as Zayn removed the clip from my hair that had a camera fit in it which recorded everything.
Handing it over to the inspector he too hugged me.
Abhi gave me immediate first aid.
Getting out of the place I asked the inspector who was dragging Namitha Aunty to stop.

"If you don't mind?" I asked the inspector and he moved back. The inspector himself was my uncle, Abhi's father.
I picked up a glass piece lying down and slashed her right hand. She clutched the bleeding area wincing and crying in pain.

"It hurts right? Exactly this was the way Kabir felt after his accident."
After that I slapped her hard.
"Feeling helpless? Exactly this was how Kashish would have felt." I said.

"Miss Namitha Oberoi, I have already told this to you and I am again repeating myself, so hear me out and hear me good you have no audacity to even touch my family. Before even touching them you have to go through me." I warned.

With that the police took her in their custody while Singh uncle hugged me.

"I am proud of you." He remarked patting my hair.
I looked back at my friend's cum my brother's and they looked equally proud.
I instantly ran and hugged them. No matter what these two idiots have always been by my side even in my most reckless plans and to be honest I felt blessed having them.

We then drove off to Zayn's place only to find a panicked Anya there.
After a earful of shouts to last me a lifetime, she re checked my wounds that was only a minor cut in my lip and scratches on my wrists.
Yes Anya too was a Doctor but a gynecological specialist along with a general physician.
I wasn't scared about all what happened today. I was scared to face my husband and my brother.
It was almost evening and my cheeks were better now. I hid the remaining marks with make up, my wrists were thankfully covered with my chura's after which I drove back to Malhotra mansion along with Abhi.
Kashish was pacing throughout the hall with a worried Karan behind her.
Shit I forgot to inform her that I was fine.
The moment she saw me she ran up to me and hugged me.
I calmed her down while a confused Karan gave the two off us weird looks.
I along with Kashish went to her room and locked the door.
Exactly the next moment she broke down sobbing.

"Kashish baccha, look I am fine, standing in front of you." I said wiping her tears.

"And those assholes are behind the bars. Now no one is going to harm my Princess." I said hugging her.

Later after meeting everyone and making Kashish promise me not to tell this to anyone I left for Saxena house. I was lucky enough that Aryan had an important meeting because of which he was out of town tonight and I had somehow convinced Kabir that I was shopping with Anya the whole day and that I was tired and would sleep instantly after going home.
Abhi dropped me home, my parents were busy at some party.
Tell me what am I doing here.
I walked back to my room totally tired. All the action from the day taking a toll on my health now well it isn't at all cool to go Jackie Chan in these days. Do not try this but if it's your family at stake I wouldn't stop you.

Tired I changed and jumped off on the bed.
I just couldn't sleep like last night. I kept moving and changing side feeling restless.
I was still tossing and turning when I felt an arm around my waist.
I was shocked to react at first but the moment he pulled me closer back hugging me nuzzling in the nape of my neck I instantly found my solace.
I quickly turned around. Thankfully it was dark and he couldn't see the slight mark on my lips which would hopefully be gone till tomorrow.

"I I just couldn't sleep." He tried elaborating but before he could speak anything ahead I smashed my lips to his. Kissing him senselessly.

"Tumhe Haq hai." (You have every right.) I said breaking the kiss.
He pulled me closer and gently massaged my abdomen.
I tried stopping him but his next words ever so efficiently shut my mouth.

"Mujhe Haq hai."( I have the right.) He said.

Smiling I cuddled deeper in his chest and he pulled the duvet up on us. I don't even remember when I fell asleep feeling safe.
