Raghuveer

''Party without me , not fair.'' I addressed my emotional siblings leaning on the door of the room that held all our memories. Bahi and Raksha opened one arm each for me and felt the happiest man on the earth . We brothers playfully crushed Raksha between us as she whined like a baby. Yes, she will always be our baby. Raksha stretched out on a couch with her head on bhai's lap and legs on mine. She kicked me once asking to massage her feet. I smiled and obliged. It took me back to time when Raksha was 3 , I was 6 and bahi was around 10. Whenever we would go out she would get tired walking 2 steps and hop on to bhai's back. Bhai would do all she asked as he met us just once a year. He would loving put her to sleep and she demanded sleeping in his lap and I was forced to massage her feet till she slept. I chuckled recalling the memory and then tickled her feet making her squeak . In return I got kicked by my baby sister. We recalled our memories sharing some good time. Later , Bhai walked Raksha to her suite. He hadn't step into the place since Raksha openly expressed her hatred , but today she pulled him along. I know she again wanted to sleep with her head on his lap. Some bonds never change even with differences.

Though, I feel bad that Raksha is going away . Yet I am satisfied that she will have her dream which she fought for so long. She will have a man like Adi besides her as a friend, only if she realises his worth in time. He can be affectionate and ruthless both sat the same time. For now I have to leave everything on time.

I will be leaving tomorrow to drop Raksha off to Delhi. It's just a day away from Dipu and I am not liking it. I sense a strange pain in her eyes which makes me stay close. I offered her to accompany me but she refused stating I should be with Raksha. I just want these hours to fly fast so that I can be with my wife again. She is planning to visit her maternal home and I have no intention to allow her. Why the family who didn't care for months is suddenly interested in her. I know Rana Mahendra Singh . he is a vile man and no way I am leaving my woman at his mercy. But for now I won't let my thoughts out to Deepika, she will panic.

When I moved back to my suite , Deepika was nowhere around. I checked in the kitchenette and other rooms before moving to porch. Moving back to the bedroom I decided to try her number, she might have gone to check on granny . Just then I heard sound of water and smiled. Her absence for a second, sends shiver down my spine then how would I survive a day without her. There is no way I will let her off to Suryagarh alone. If she wants she will have to take me along . Turning the phone on mute, I moved towards the bathroom pushing the door open. ''Get out Veer'', she gasped pulling the foam all over her bare form lowering herself in the bath tub. Chuckling,  I closed the behind my back walking to her, ''What is that you are hiding that I haven't seen before'', I said squatting beside the tub, brushing my finger across the length of her wet arm.

''that doesn't mean I am not entitled to some private time.'' , she replied all worked up , her eyes throwing flares at me. She was trying to scare me but she appeared to cute to be scared off. Standing up , I unbuttoned my shirt throwing it in one corner . She watched me wide eyed squirming in a corner, ''What are you doing?'' , she asked in a bare whisper with a flushed face.

''Joining you''. As I was about to step into the tub, she open the faucet on my face with full force. She laughed as I turned my face away to save my eyes. I waited for her to have her turn. She realised I wasn't backing out and lowered the faucet blinking. ''Sorry, I am done'' before she could reach the towel on the side shelf , I grabbed it throwing it far from her reach, ''Veer are you mad''

Getting on to the opposite side I leaned closer making her lean on the tub more, ''I am and you don't know the limit of my madness''. She stared in to my eyes as I hovered over her. The water droplets settled on her face made her look irresistible. My heart rushed and eyes dropped to her lips, as I moved closer she placed her palm on my chest to stop me. I suddenly felt annoyed with her move, ''Don't do that again Dipu''

''Then let me be more comfortable, I need to dress. Please.'' She pleaded. Hiding her nakedness with one hand and pushing me with another . Leaned closer I kissed her once before stepping out. Lifting the towel I extended it to her. She gestured me to turn around and I did. I heard the splash as she stepped out draining the water off. She moved out of the curtain and squeaked, ''I thought you left. Please go out I need to dress''

''its any ways of no use'' , with that I scooped her up bridal walking into our bedroom. I gently placed her on the bed and she rolled off quickly to escape. ''veer you are leaving early morning. Get some rest''

I got annoyed for continuous attempts to push me back, ''Tell me you don't want me around. Don't make excuses'' . I was mad at her. Her eyes went big, she picked up a t-shirt and threw over her freshly showered body , throwing the towel in one corner. My eyes moved with her movements. The material culnged to her half damped body , making my throat go dry. She walked to me displaying her bare long legs. ''Why are you angry? You know I can't take your anger''

''Then stop pushing me . I hate it''. I did, I hated any separation from her in any form. It annoys me when she pushes me back even as a joke. She kept her head on my chest slowly wrapping her around my waist, ''fine, I am sorry. Now just go and get rid of your wet jeans'' . She lovingly pushed me and I pulled her back. ''We both are getting rid of whatever isn't required.'' She blushed deep lowering her head. Grabbing her chin between my fingers I lifted her face up bringing id close to mine, ''Never forget , you are mine. ''She nodded smiling emotionally as I lowered my face to seal our lips.

After an hour or so we lay there in each others arms all exhausted . I had upper half supported on the headrest cushion. Dipu was cuddled beside me with her head on my shoulder. I knew sleep was the last thing I wanted tonight . Removing the hair strand , I pecked her forehead, ''Come with me to Delhi'' I knew I sounded desperate but for some strange reason , I was scared to leave her behind. I felt she would vanish. She smiled and left a trail of kisses against my jaw line, ''Its Raksha who is important now''

There again, she ditched my words sweetly. ''I don't want you to go to Suryagarh without me''. Her body stiffen , but she stayed quite. We have had the conversation too many times and have ended up quarrelling . She fears for my life and I for her. I opened my mouth to ask something and she placed her finger on my lips, ''I don't want to fight you Veer. Not tonight. '' She moved her fingers in line with my features , her eyes following the trail, ''What are you doing?'', I asked playfully . She lifted her body up and pecked my lips, ''Imprinting all of you on my soul. I love you Veer. Please, don't hate me ever'', a sobbed escaped her lips as she buried her face in my chest. My arms cocooned her automatically. ''You are something to me, I can't explain. My heart has you all chained. Hate or Love I don't care, It's you I cannot share''

She stared at me all surprise. My palm cupped her cheek, ''What I said, I meant all of it. I can't share you with anything and anyone. Remember that''

''What about our kids, I mean in future when we have them?'' She asked amused tilting her head. I pulled her closer, ''Not with them too. They can have your spare time. You are all mine. '' I could feel her laughing against my chest . She moved out of my arms and sat up pulling the sheets around her beautiful form, ''You are crazy Veer. Are you the same I married or you have changed?'' She asked with a smile caressing my locks.

''All your fault. You made me lose my sanity'' . Pulling her close I added, ''and now pray to almighty that I don't turn into an animal''. She laughed and then placed her chin on my chest, ''even then I love you with all my might. I will do all to bring my old Veer back''

I just stared at her smile which wasn't reaching her eyes. There is no point I ask her and I don't want to spoil hers and mine mood. Smiling I hugged her close puling the duvet over us. She kept talking for few minutes before dozing off. I stayed up all night watching the girl I can kill for. My feelings for her are run deep in my blood. Even if I come to hate her some day , I would want her with same madness. I don't know when and how I fell for her . I just no, I won't spare a soul who will even try to keep her off my life. A strange fear ran down my body making me sweat. In a reflex I crushed her to my body waking her up, ''something wrong''. When I nodded negative, she smiled once opening her arms wide for me. Without wasting a second I moved over her pouring my madness on her. We kept drowning in our feelings before slipping into a blissful slumber.

***

Raksha was already seated in the vehicle after emotionally greeting everyone. It was Bhai who didn't show an emotion, but was affected the most. Ananya took mom inside and my eyes went to my love. She stood there with a broad smile on her lips and tears in her eyes. I consoled myself stating its just a day. But don't know why, I feel I am not going to see her again. I just don't want my fears to come true. She is the first one I want to see once I am back. Giving her one long glance I quickly got into the vehicle. Please God! Keep my love safe.

3rd POV

''So my Son In Law is travelling to Delhi. Just what I want, make sure he is so comfortable in Delhi that returns Jaigarh in a never ending sleep. '' He instructed his men dismissing them. ''This is ruining my pride Raghuveer Rathore . I want Deepika withering in pain for life, she crushed my name eloping with that man and now she took my birth right. '' Rana Mahendra laughed at his plan, ''You are a bad luck. You wanted to escape my clutches , but now you will willingly walk into them to be imprisoned for life''
