Zindagi ne ki hai kaisi saazishein
Poori hui dil ki wo farmaishein
Maangi duaa ek tujh tak jaa pahunchi
Parvardigara, parvardigara
Kaisi suni tune meri khamoshi
O parvardigara

*************************************

Here I am sitting on chair and continuously typing on laptop but my mind filled with thoughts of past events and top of that I try my best to ignore Dhruv. I don't know how to tell him that I am married.

"Buttercuppp are ok" Dhruv Dhruv slowly which is audible to us.

"Yaa I am OK Dhruv, no need to worry " I assured him with a lip tight smile.

"Pkka na ! You look tensed from morning and you are ignoring me " he said.

I look towards him and my heart twitched seeing him getting tensed about me. I take a deep breath, "Dhruv " I softly call him.

He look at me , I place my hand on his hand ,"Dhruv I am ok , no need to get tensed, now smile for your buttercup " I said with a smile.

Hearing me he smile widely, " Thank god you are ok " Dhruv said.

He get back to his work, I take a sigh ,"I am sorry Dhruv " I whispered while looking towards him, a tear escaped from my eyes.

Time skip to evening 5 , I close my laptop and pack my stuffs. I stood up and going to walk outside, "Buttercup " a voice appeared, I look back and found Dhruv running towards me .

He came towards me while huffing, "Buttercup, Buttercup listen " he said while huffing.

"Dhruv atleast take a breath then talk " I said. He take a deep breath, "Buttercup I am saying let's go on a date tomorrow " he said while rubbing his neck.

"What D..ate" I stuttered.

"I mean a friend's Date " he said.

I sigh internally, "Actually Dhruv I am extremely sorry , I have plans with my family" I said.

He feels little sad but he regain his smile,"It's ok Buttercup we will hangout some other day" he said with a smile.

"I am sorry Dhruv next weekend we will hangout definitely " I said with a smile, trying to cheer him up.

"Yes we will " he said while giving me a wink.

"Let's go together till parking lot " he said and drag me with him.

We walk towards parking lot ,"Well Dhruv I forget something in office you go" I said and ran in opposite direction.

I stop and look back to see if he's coming or not and to my luck he's not. I take a deep breath, "thank god he's not coming after me" I thought.

Suddenly a car honk heard ,I look towards and found Driver uncle waving to me, I walk towards him and sat inside the car .

"Riddhima beti how's your day ?" He asked with a smile.

"It's good uncle, wbu?" I asked him.

"Mine too" he replied with a smile.

Uncle Drive towards mansion, after 40 minutes we reached. I came outside and walk inside mansion .

My breath hitched seeing the person infront of me, "Mr.Rathore " I muttered looking towards him.

He's sitting on sofa while typing something on his phone ,He's in his casuals wearing dark blue shirt , rolled his shirt sleeves paired up with black pant.

"Why i am getting nervous infront him? Stay strong Riddhima " I muttered and walk inside. I walk upstairs in my room.

I place my purse on bed , I open my cupboard take out my dress and walk inside bathroom.

After 15 minutes I walk outside wearing Lavender colour anarkali suit, I walk towards dressing table, I comb my hair and apply Vermillion. I apply moisturiser, lipbalm and adjust my Chooda and Nupital chain.

I look at mirror,"Perfect " I muttered, grab my purse and mobile, walk downstairs.

Well tomorrow is Saturday this means holiday so, I am going to stay with my parents. I came downstairs and found him again typing something on his phone, I rolled my eyes,"What's with this Akdu always in his phone " I thought.

"Where are you going" suddenly a deep cold voice came makes a shiver ran down in my spine ,I stay rooted on my place. Akdu I mean Mr.Rathore
came infront of me and stand too close while staring at me.

"Kanha ji meri thodi si height or bdha dete, ye lambu k aage mein db jti hu humesha " I thought.

Again he came more close to me that I feel his hot breath on me,"I am asking you something " he again said in his deep voice.

"Wo..wo actually I am going to my parents house and I will stay there tonight " I said while not doing any eye contact with him.

He lean towards me more and i immediately close my eyes, "I am telling you last time talk to me while looking in my eyes" he whispered in my ears.

My heartbeat started rising, sweat form on my forehead, he stand straight passing me a smirk.

"Ye..ss I will remember " I said while looking at him.

"I am going and come back tomorrow " I slowly said and ran outside.

"What's with him? thank god I am safe now" I muttered while taking a breath.

I walk towards driver uncle, "Uncle can you please drop me to my parents house" I asked .

"Why not bacche, Yuvraj appointed me as your driver so, it's my responsibility " he said with a smile.

I open the car door and sat inside. I give him my address and we drive towards my house.

After 30 minutes we reach, "Thank you uncle " I said and walk inside my house.

My eyes turn teary seeing my sweet home, I ring the doorbell and to my surprise Papa open the door.

Seeing him I can't control myself and immediately hug him tightly, "Pa..paa" I muttered while crying in his embrace.

"Sssshh aise rote nhi you are my strong girl na! Then why crying?" Papa said while rubbing my back.

"Come inside " he said , I nod and walk inside.

I sat on sofa and look around in search of mumma ,"Papa Where's mumma?" I asked.

"Wo market gayi hai aati he hogi " he replied while sitting beside me.

I nod, "Acha tell me honestly, is he treating you right?" Suddenly Papa asked about him, make me caught off guard.

"Tell me beta? If he's not, no need to spend a life with a person who makes my daughter cry!" He exclaimed.

Hearing him my eyes turned teary and I immediately hug him, he hugged me back, "I don't care about what people say ,hoga wo Raja khi ka per, I only care about my daughter happiness" he exclaimed while hugging me tightly.

"Papuu no need to worry about he..'s treating me right and I am happy! Just chill" I lied , controlling my tears.

"Yk what Papa my in laws are besttttttt, I am very lucky to have them, they treated me like I am their daughter, they loves me so much " I said with a smile .

"Really I am relaxed that my daughter happy " he said while stroking my hair.

"Yk I plan so much for your wedding but now it's different situation " he exclaimed with a sad smile.

"It's ok Papuu " I said while pulling my father's cheeks, it's my habit to pull his cheeks whenever he's sad.

"Tum nhi sudhrogi na! Well shaadi toh nhi per ek grand reception toh hona chahiye, I will talk to your in-laws about this" he said with a smile.

Someone ring the doorbell, I walk towards door and open, found Mummy standing there with lots of bags in her hand.

"Mummyyyy mein aaegyi" I exclaimed with a smile.

"Pehle ise pakad or rakh ise udhr" she said while coming inside.

I rolled my eyes and take shopping bags from her hand and put it on table,"Idhr aa" mother said.

I walk towards her and soon she engulf me in a warm hug ,"Meri bacchi aegyi ,kitna ydd Kiya tumhe maine" she said , placing a soft kiss on my forehead.

"Miss you too mumma " I whispered hugging her more tightly.

She broke the hug ,"Or Bata sb wha kaise hai? or Yuvraj nhi aye?" My mother asked.

A lump form in my throat and urge of crying while hugging mumma increase but I gulp,"Wo..wo.. mumma unhe urgent kaam tha toh nhi ae, yk he's CEO of such a big company " I lied , controlling my tears.

Mumma look at my eyes for a minute,"Okay" she replied.

"Haa beta tum aisa kro mujhe Yuvraj ka mobile no. dedo mein khud unhe khud invite krta hoon, waise bhi wo humare Eklauta Damad (Son in-law) hai " Papa exclaimed while grinning widely.

My eyes widened hearing him,"What should I tell him? that I don't have his no." I thought.

"Papa I forgot to tell you that he have really urgent meeting so, he didn't receive calls, he said he will be here when his urgent work done " I lied again.

"Sorry mumma Papa for lying to you " I thought, looking down.

Before he ask further question,"Mummy boht din hogye mujhe Chole bhature khae hue please bnao na, please " I whinned.

"Aww I will " she said, giving me a kiss.

"Mumma mein apne room mein ja rhi hu " I said and walk upstairs.

Entering inside my room it feels like a heaven, I immediately lay down and hide my face in pillow and close my eyes. I stare to all over my room with a smile.

"Sukoon" I whispered, feeling relaxed and stress free after long time. I open my eyes and grab my bunny plushie , hug him tightly, soon sleeps consumes me.

I scrunch my eyes while opening, stretch my arms while getting up.  A yawn escaped, "wahh kitne dino bd mast neend ayi" I muttered.

I grab my phone to check time and it's 9:00 in the night, "What I sleep 2hours straight! Mumma didn't wake me up " I thought.

I stood up wear my sleepers and walk downstairs.

"Mummaaaaa" I call lazily while yawning and stretching my arms.

Soon my eyes landed on a person infront of me sitting with my father and talking, my eyes widened in shock seeing him in my house chatting and laughing with my father.

Soon his eyes landed on me , I am starting at him in utter shock . "Aise muh kholke kyu khadi hai?" Suddenly my mother exclaimed.

I realise I am starting at him with open mouth. Congratulations Riddhima for successfully embarrassed yourself infront of him, Taliya bajti rehni chahiye.

"But wait Ye yha kaise achnk? How he knows my home address " I thought

"Yuvraj please don't mind ye aise he hai" suddenly my Matashree ji exclaimed.

I rolled my eyes suddenly I notice his outfit, he's wearing black shirt with rolled up sleeves showing his well veiny hands and Rolex watch adore his left wrist, his shirt two buttons open from top completely showing his well built body,  paired up with black pants.

"Is he obsessed with black colour like me?" I thought. "But Jo bhi hai pura 3 course meal lag rha hai " my subconscious mind mocked me.

"Shut up you dirty mind " I curse under my Breathe.

"Taad kon rha tha use ?" My subconscious mind again mocked me.

"Chup hoja" I muttered, shaking my head.

"Idhr khadi hoke sir he hilane ka plan hai kya apka?" My mother mocked while smiling.

"Mummyyyy yrr " I whinned and walk towards dinning table.

I am going to sit beside my father but my Matashree ji again stops me ," Yuvraj ke bagal mein baith jao betaaa" she said while stretching last word.

I pass her a smile and sat beside Him , maintaining a proper distance between us.

Suddenly someone pull my chair slightly, I look at the person and found him pulling my chair closing the distance between us .

I look towards my parents to see if they see his little antic or not and to my surprise they were not, I take a deep Breathe.

He place his hands on my hands which is on my thighs and caressing it. I don't know why but his touch feels euphoric and I feels butterflies dancing inside my stomach.

I try to take my hand back but he's not letting it go , I look towards him and he pass me his famous smirk.

"Is he bipolar?" I thought.

"Yuvraj I don't know what's your favorite food, I hope you like this one" my mother said.

"Maa why I don't like food which is made by you" he said with a smile.

Hearing him my heart flutters , my parents smile at him," we are very lucky to have you as my daughter's husband " My mother exclaimed and her eyes turned teary.

Mumma is  serve him food but he stops her," Maa eat with us please  " he asked with a smile.

Mumma nods and sit beside Papa, we start eating food, "Mhmmm it's so tastyy, I love these Chole bhature " he said while eating.

"Thank you Yuvraj, mein boht khush hu ki apko khana pasnd aeya" my mother replied with a smile.

Here I am devouring Chole bhature like I didn't get food from many days. Soon we finish our dinner and mumma serve us kheer which is loaded with dry fruits.

"Yuvraj shaadi itni jldi jldi mein hui ki mein apse or apke parivaar walo se dhng se mil bhi nhi paya" suddenly Papa exclaimed.

"Well Papa-Maa I am inviting you please visit my hometown Jaipur my family is eagerly waiting for to meet you " he said with his famous deep voice.

"We will but use pehle apko apke poore parivaar saath humare yha aana hoga, I already give invitation to Your family " Papa said with a smile.

"We will" he replied with a smile.

"Humara Ghar aapke Ghar jitna bada toh nhi or hum apke jitne ameer bhi nhi toh agr apke Swagat mein koi kami hogyi toh maaf kriyega" Papa said while joining his hands infront of him, Mummy did the same

He held my father and mother hands, "ye aap kya kre rhe maa-papa you are my parents too , or ye sab mat kahiye please, aap humesha apna aashirwad dijye inn Hathon se naki haath joriye " he said while touching parents feet.

My eyes turn teary, " is he really that much good , I am the one who's thinking wrong about him" I thought while wippng my tears. Suddenly I remember what he said to me earlier my heartache remembering that .

He hugged my father, "I am going please visit my residence soon it's your home now " he said with a smile.

"Jrror " Mummy papa said together.

He look at my direction, "Riddhima will you coming with me " he asked, suddenly my name sounds good .

"Mein Kal aaungi ,aap jao or Dhyan se jaiyega" I replied while looking down.

He looks at me for a minute and nods , he walk outside with my mother and father followed him.

I also walk outside and it's raining heavily with lightening.

"Yuvraj it's raining heavily you can stay here tonight it's not good for you to go home in this weather " Papa exclaimed.

"Papa don't worry I manage " he said.

"No beta I am not letting you go , you have to stay here tonight and it's final " Papa said.

He smile"How can I deny you , I will stay but first I will park my car inside " he said and walk towards his car.

"For the first time I am seeing him smile that much and Kasam se Kya smile hai " I thought while staring at him.

Parking his car properly inside he walk inside with my father with a bag in his hand.

I came inside, "Yuvraj what's inside bag?" Papa asked.

"Actually it's my spare clothes, I always put my spare clothes in office and my car, pta nhi kb mujhe out of country jna pd jye " he replied.

Papa nods ," Beta take Yuvraj to your room " Papa said.

"What Me and him in same room on top of that my room " I thought.

"Meri life mein jitne jhatke milte hai use hisab se mujhe 'Most jhatke get' ka award mil jna chahiye " I thought.

I start feeding nervous ,"Beta le jao" Papa exclaimed.

I slightly nod ,"Ise Taraf chaliye , Mera room idhr hai " I said while instructing him.

He walk behind me, I feel eyes on my back makes me shiver, we walk inside my room, suddenly I start getting nervous.

"Umm..mm you can sleep on my bed and  there is bathroom" I slowly said while looking down.

He nods and walk inside bathroom, I take a sigh," Godd why my heart is beating so fast" I muttered .

After 5 minutes he came outside wearing cream colour loose shirt and black pants, his hairs were slight messy makes him look so handsome.

He walk towards bed and sat on , "Mr. Rathore my bedroom is not lavish like yours I hope you are comfortable " I said while fidgeting my fingers .

But to my surprise he didn't reply," is he ignoring me?", I thought.

"No he's not ignoring you he's just bipolar " I thought rolling my eyes.

I walk towards cupboard open it and take out mattress, blanket and one bedsheet.

I laid out mattress on floor and going to laid bedsheet but," What are you doing?" Suddenly he asked.

"Kheti Kar rhi hu, wanna join?" I thought.

"Umm preparing my bed for sleep' I replied. Suddenly he held my hand from behind.

"No need your bed is big enough for two of us , sleep on bed it's really cold " he said , dragging me towards bed.

"I will manage please leave my hand" I said while struggling in his hold.

I finally getting freed my hand from and going , suddenly he pick me up in bridal style makes me caught off guard.

"Ye aap kya kre rhe hai mujhe neeche utariye " I whinned while throwing my legs in air.

He placed me on bed ," If you dare to disobey me again then it's not good for you " he warned in his deep voice.

Anger started rising inside me, I stood up on bed ,"Aap mere Ghar mein reh ke or wo bhi mere room mein apni dadagiri nhi chla sakty" I said glaring at him .

He chuckled slightly, I going to step down but my foot slipped on bedsheet, makes me going to fall I close my eyes, before i fall he caught me by my waist and we end up of falling on bed.

I open my eyes and found him staring at me intensly but wait he's top on me, "What the hell " , I thought. My heartbeat started rising and some tingle feeling on my stomach

I try pushing him away from me but to my surprise he didn't even budge instead he held my both hands.

"Ye..ye..ye aaa..ap kya..aa kree rhe please dur hatiye thoda" I said while stuttering.

Still he didn't even move, my heart is beating so fast seeing our proximity, he's staring in my eyes without blinking and I notice he have such a beautiful eyes.

"I am just admiring what's mine" he whispered while making his face more closer to my face.

What is he by any chance address me as his , I thought.

I close my eyes ,"please don't please don't " I start mentally chanting this.

Suddenly his phone rings makes him move away , he close his eyes to control anger and curse,fuck.

He grab his phone and receive the call , I immediately stood up and ran inside bathroom and locks the door.

My heart is beating at this speed like it will pop out any minute, "Ye kya hua tha abhi " I muttered while huffing .

"Bhagwan ka lakh lakh shukar Hai mein Bach gyi" I muttered closing my eyes.

I change my clothes and wear light red colour kurti paired up with white palazzo, I tie my hair loosely.

I waited inside bathroom till he's sleep. After 5 minutes I slightly open the door to check if he's asleep or not and to my luck he's sleeping.

I take a sigh of relief and came outside without making any noise. I tiptoed walk towards bed and place pillows between us .

I grab my blanket , switch off the lights and lay down still maintaining some distance between us.

At midnight I suddenly feel someone is shivering and murmuring, I open my eyes and look at my right and found
Riddhima is shivering and murmuring under her Breathe.

Heavy rain and lightening were happening outside, suddenly a strong lightening happen,"Mummyyyyy" she shouts .

I place my hand on her blanket and found her shivering, I immediately remove her blanket and found her crying and shivering.

My heartache seeing her like this, "Riddhima Riddhima are you ok" I softly ask, but she didn't reply.

I remove the pillow wall which is created by her and move closer to her , I made her face towards me and she hugged me tightly clutching my shirt like koala.

I hugged her back, I place her head on my arm , covering ourself in blanket and hugged her tightly in my embrace.

"Jaan i am here na please stop crying , you are safe" I softly whispered trying to calm her down .

I get it she's Astraphobic , I place a soft kiss on her forehead and to my surprise she calm down .

After some minutes she's asleep now , she's still hugging me and I also hugging her .

I look towards her face and found her sleeping peacefully, unknowingly a smile formed on my face seeing her sleeping like a baby.

Some hair strands falls on her face , I remove them and starts admiring her face.

I don't know why but ,"Mein tumse jitni bhi dur Jane ki kosish kru utna he khud ko Kareeb pta hu tumhare " , I thought .

"Meine Jo tumhare sath kia wo unforgivable hai per mein chah k bhi kuch nhi Kar sakta, I am sorry Jaan" , i muttered.

"It's better that we will far away from each other " I thought while a tear escape from my eyes.

I joined our foreheads and close my eyes .
