"Enough! I don't want it!"

He told looking at her and then back to the mobile screen. Akshita who was making him drink the soup looked annoyed. She glared at the phone and before thinking much snatched it away from his hands. Rudra looked with a stunned expression at her sudden strictness.

"I don't have a whole day to pass around. Drink it fast or I will throw your phone." She offered one more spoon after threatening him.

"You should love me instead of showing fake strictness. Don't forget I'm injured." He made cute expression with a dramatic hurt face.

Akshita who was ignoring everything of his act was greatly affected from inside. She and her God knew how badly she was controlling her blush and the admiring smile she always had for him. Once making him drink the whole bowl she kept it on side and wiped his lips with the cloth.

She came little closer as the medicine were out of her reach. Whereas rudra was enjoying it all. He blowed air on her face distracting her and earning a sharp glare which went unaffected as the next move which he pulled shocked her. He leaned more and kissed on her cheek making her drop the box on ground.

She shockingly gazed at him who gave her a best innocent smile.

"What happened? You alright?" He asked adding more to her irritation. She opened her mouth to speak something but a knock interfered them.

"Can i come in?"

They saw gauri approaching from the entrance. Rudra smiled and nodded his head. She gave a sweet smile to both of them and sat near rudra. Her eyes scanned his wounds and instantly filled with tears. She hugged him to her heart to make it realise that her brother is fine. She was too sensitive to see any scratch on him as before her own children rudra was like one. She always considered him as her own son due to the age gap they had.

Whereas rudransh exchanged tensed looks with akshita who was sitting just behind gauri. She too kept her palm on gauri's back and rubbing there in a soothing manner.

"Jiji? What's the matter? Why are you crying? Does anything happen? Are you stressed because of that man? Please don't think about him. I know you are worried for sakshi and mehul__"

"I'm worried about you."

"Me?" He blankly gazed not knowing how to react.

"Of course you! I always loved you like my own child rudra. How will a mother not be worried for her child? Don't you love me enough to take care of yourself__"

"Jiji__"

"Don't talk to me!"

She stated trying to hide her tears. Rudra whereas cupped her cheek and wiped her tears. He then held his ear with the safe hand making cute faces to mend her.

"Please forgive me. I'll be cautious from next time. Please, see it's hurting more to see your tears."

She couldn't hold more as his pitiful voice melted her heart in just seconds. Pulling him into her embrace she kissed on his forehead and ruffled his hair.

"All love for your brother, jiji. Am I not important here?" Akshita dramatically stated as gauri glared at her playfully and stretched out a hand for her. She excitedly held it and hugged her.

"You all are over pampering me. I'm all good now!" Rudransh spoke out getting irritated with the weird behavior of his family members.

Akshita squinted her eyes and slapped lightly on his injured arm which made him yell at her.

"What woman? Are you planning to kill me with this pain?" He complained hissing a little. At first everyone were silent but then burst out laughing.

"I'm alright!" Akshita made faces while uttering the sentense which was actually for teasing him.

Mamta came in between them and grabbed his ear in her fingers.

"Dare you scold my daughter like that. And what was that? I'm alright. Keep quite and eat properly. Akshu, you did right by slapping. He needs one."

"Ahh, maa! You are keeping her over me." He pouted his lips and exchanged a 'I'll see you later' look with akshita, who was laughing from behind with a teasing look.

"Why not! You troubled her a lot!"

She left his ear then caressed his hair. Gauri from side feed him a bite. The eldest Rathore, Pratap was seeing the seen as he was finally feeling satisfied. Now his family was together as due to samaira's presence he always used to fear that in her influence rudra may leave them but at the end everything went well.

"Rudra, you should rest now. Akshu take him to your room. And you all sleep now. Enough of fun." Pratap stated as raghuvendra helped him standing and left with him.

Akshita came near him as she pulled the chair for him and held his hand in a sense to protect him which curved a smile on his face.

They climbed the stairs as he checked if someone was around and once confirming bent towards her kissing over her cheek. Akshita gasped as she snapped at him with hung open mouth. She left his arm and stopped on her place while rudra gave her an innocent smile.

"Stay away from me."

She stated but he stepped closer to her.

"Why?"

She glared at her angrily which was seeming cute to him as he pinched her cheek and leaned closer just to blow air on her face.

"If you keep making such cute faces then how will i control myself?"

She stomped her foot over his one and walked out of there towards there room.

"Ouch!" He laughed and followed her.

It was midnight and rudra was struggling with his injured hand. He was feeling the constant pain out of sudden. Akshita had dressed it before sleeping and he had taken the medicines too.

Unable to bear it he woke up and sat upon his place resting his head on the headboard while holding the hanging hand. His uneven breathing normalized after few minutes as he huffed out of relief.

When he settled down with the pain his vision stuck on the figure beside him. Akshita was peacefully sleeping on her side with a pillow between them. Her hair was open and spread over the pillow. Her face relaxed and lips curved in a small smile with her long lashes resting on the fair cheek.

His heart felt the peace as he bent on her side. Keeping his moves slow he blowed little air on her face which tingled her as she digged her face in the pillow.

"Rudra__" She whispered still deep in the slumber.

Whereas hearing the name rudra felt his heart stopped beating. His smiling face curved into guilt as the past events hitted him again.

She loves him so much that even in sleep she was taking his name. She always kept their marriage above everything, always prioritised it above all and in returns what he gave? Pain? Even if he had no relation with samaira, he did wrong. He hurt her. He forced his decision on her which was completely wrong.

Intentionally or not but he had always hurt her and now it's time to give her what she deserves. She has the right to be angry on him and it's his duty to do everything to take her back in his life.

"I promise to win you back sweetheart. I will pay for every pain I have given to you. I will turn your every suffering into happiness. I promise to devote myself for your love. I love you!"

He promised and kissed on her forehead and the remaining night spent just looking at her beautiful face.
