The tap was opened and water was flowing with pressure, under the tap akshita was sitting while hugging her knees. Her body was shivering and tears were continuously flowing out of her eyes. Those nightmares weren't leaving her mind. Wherever she goes, it was chasing her.

Her heart was filled with fear and mind with darkness.

Suddenly the scene again confronted her as she started feelings disgusting of herself. Her nails began to scratch the skin of her body where he had touched.

'TONIGHT , I WILL MAKE YOU MINE!"

The sentence screamed out in her mind and with a heart wrenching veil she replied.

"NO!! DON'T TOUCH ME!"

She mercilessly scratched the skin over her arms and soon it turned red, some oozing blood.

The metal of the tap hitted her head but she didn't consider and continued doing the madness.

Her traumatic self wasn't allowing her to think anything rather than that man and his dirty deeds.

"Akshu!!"

Rudra broke out of the washroom door and found her under the tap scratching her own skin. He immediately closed the tap and kneeled down to her.

His both hands grabbed hers and tried to separate her from her own grip.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!! LEAVE ME!!"

She screamed again making his heart cry out in agony.

"Akshu!! It's me, rudra! Please don't hurt yourself! Akshu!!" He tried to bring her back to her senses.

Akshita still with no energy fought with him, she tried to punch him not sensing even his touches.

A while later she herself fainted due to loss of energy. Rudra picked her in his arms and brought her out in the room. He laid her on the bed and then seeing her drenched body decided to call someone.

He was about to go outside but the thought came into his mind. His whole family was stressed about her condition again if he broke out this sense to them then they will be heart broken. Sensing the seriousness he himself took the lead.

He came with her clothes and carefully handled her like she was the most delicate piece of his heart.

His eyes were moist with tears.

He opened the knot of her blouse and wiped the skin with towel. There was a fresh mark of scratching which she did last night. He leaned more and kissed over it to which her body reacted a little.

"I'm sorry!"

He wiped over the scratched arms with utter tenderness and kissed over them while blowing some air.

"I promise to take away your every pain." He promised and creased her hair.

Once wiping the skin he brought out a simple red salwar suit fir her and made her wear.

Then, he did the first aid of her hands which she had mercilessly scratched.

He kissed on her arms and sat down over the floor while leaving feathery kisses on her hands.

"I'm sorry! I couldn't save you from that man. Forgive me for my lameness." He cried not able to holding back the guilt and pain.

He flinched out of the nap and checked his surrounding. The dark room and the chair, where he was sitting and dozed off due to tiredness. His forehead was covered with the sweat bids as he grabbed the glass and filled some water for himself.

"What's the time?! How could I just sleep so peacefully?"

He cursed himself and stood on his feet to get back to her but his way blocked by someone.

"It's just a while you slept. Let's spend some quality time together." She said and held his arm, dragging him back to the chair.

"Leave me samaira! I have to check upon akshu__"

"Akshu! Akshu! Akshu!! What the hell is with her? What have you seen in her that you can't leave her for a moment?"

She gritted her teeth speaking out the frustration.

Rudra hardened his jaw as he was controlling himself from hurting her for saying unnecessarily for akshita.

"Just forget her and live in the moment!"

She creased his face with her palm and brought her lips closer to her. Rudra looked into her eyes with hard gaze and asked out.

"What do you want?"

"I want you!!"

"JUST LEAVE MY WAY SAMAIRA!"

He yelled with frustration and pushing her backward while glaring at her for such indecent act. She was literally seducing him.

"Why Do You Suddenly Care For Her So Much? You were married earlier too then why are you concerned for her now?" She replied with same rage.

"BECAUSE I LOVE HER! I LOVE AKSHITA!!"

Unwillingly the words come out of his mouth. He confessed what his heart wanted to. For few seconds his mind doubted him but then he got the clarity.

It's love. His care for her, his softness for her and everything he does for her was out of love. He never felt burdened with her responsibilities because of the love he has for her.

Though at the starting he didn't know about his feelings but now he knew it was love. He never considered there marriage before but now after falling for her, he wanted to be with her in any condition. He will go to any extend for her now.

Samaira saw him with anger and tears filled ears. While rudra wad in tears with a smile. He came towards and calmly stated.

"I know, you love me but I never felt the same for you samaira. So now just leave all these and move on. Akshita's love has won, she carved for me and now I wanted to be with her."

He told and without waiting left the room.

It was evening time as the sun was setting as usual.

Sitting over one of the couch of their room, akshita was blankly gazing at the setting sun. She was sitting with her arms hugging her knees and head rested over them.

Her eyes shut down as she was feeling light with the relaxing air.

Just when she was breathing soundly, a palm came resting over her shoulder and the nightmares triggered. She flinched with the touch jumping down the couch and instantly attacking the person with the vase kept on table.

Her hand was stopped in mid-way as she got the clear view of him. Her eyes moistened with tears as she dropped down the vase and ran to hug him tightly.

Rudra creased her hair as he ran his fingers through her locks.

"Calm down! You did right!"

He appreciated but she was feeling guilty.

"I'm sorry, I would have hurt you__"

"You don't have to! If you feel unsafe with the surrounding then it's your right to protect yourself. You did what you feel. Hmm?" He consoled her as she nodded still with a blank face.

Rudra felt sad as he was missing her smile desperately. Still understanding the situation he smiled for her.

"Let's sit together!"

He suggested and made her sit over the couch while himself sitting on floor. He held her palms and kissed over them while keeping them on his cheek.

Akshita was observing everything silently. She was feeling good and loved. He was loving her like she's the only person he wants. And she was liking this changed rudra. Her face flushed a bit when he continued kissing in her palms and so she diverted her gaze.

"You are looking beautiful!"

He complimented and her cheeks began aching. She couldn't face him more and so coming down from the couch she sat beside him, hiding her face in his chest.

Rudra chuckled and wrapped his arms securely around her.

He pecked a kiss on her forehead as they both sat there looking at the arousing stars and moon which was indicating that the night was there.
