Its five in the morning and Saurabh wake up. People change with time. The one who preferred to wake up early , still sleeping on the bed.She is clutching a pillow tightly.Saurabh removed it from her hands and cover her with blanket. After freshen up,he starts checking emails. There is report of her blood test from pathologist. She is anemic and has deficiency of micronutrients. He scheduled a meeting with physician and nutritionist.Her body is trembling and he adjusted temperature of air conditioner. Its been nine and most of pending work is done. His phone starts ringing.

"Hello sir."

"Why are you disturbing me in the morning Nina ?"

"Sir,there is a F.I.R. filed against you ."

"and "

"And you have to present in court for hearing.They claimed that you  have   kidnapped a woman from her home"

"I am not going to come on this date .Tell our lawyers to manage this time."he said and cut the call.

"Brother in law , you will not let me live peacefully."he muttered to himself when Harshil's number flashing on screen.

"Where is my di(big sister)?"desperation is present in Harshil's voice . His father approach lawyers but legal proceedings take time. He can't wait for that. He is extremely worried for his di.

"Where she belongs to."

"Just shut up you moron.Give phone to her,I need to talk her."

"Not possible."Saurabh said, looking towards Surbhi who is still sleeping peacefully.

"I'll not let you have your ways with her. I'll snatch my di from you. Just wait and watch."its not a bogus threat. Harshil is damn serious about this. He can't wait and watch things happening infront of him.

"Surbhi is mine and forever be mine."

"Look Saurabh,"Harshil never called him by name its always bro but things changed with time."I know it's hurting your pride that someone is there to take responsibility of Surbhi.Someone is ready to accept her with her illness. I always supported you earlier but not this time. Romil loved di from adolescent years. Leave your ego and let her go."

"Look kiddo,stay in your limit. I told you earlier and I am repeating again 'Surbhi' belongs to me."

"That's why you left her to die . She belongs to you that's why she is suffering. She belongs to you that's why you broke her trust. You broke everything she admires. Answer me dammit why you did that ?"

"I am not answerable to anyone except Surbhi."

"I expected this from you. You are answerable to her because she is not in the condition of asking questions. You know, you are pathetic."Harshil wanted to slap this person for his atrocities.

"Devil,monster, hypocrite, cruel bastard ,pimp ,say whatever you want.I don't care about your opinion."Saurabh cut the call.This phone call left a very bitter taste.

"Send the incharge of security in my home office."he told his secretary on phone.

"Sir,you have called me."Satendra singh ,his security incharge asked.The man is tall and muscular build body.His appearance is intimidating and full the requirements of this job.

"Yes,I want you to do two work for me."Saurabh paused for a moment."First , tighten the security around me and my home.I want to scrutinized profile of everyone working in my home.Put everyone on surveillance . Don't let anyone enter before security check and my approval. Second thing you have to do is ,you have to bring a file from a doctor's office."Saurabh said and Satindra's brows raise in surprise by second work.It doesn't related to his business than why...he dropped the thought immediately.

"Everything will happen as per your instructions."he bowed his head and left.

After finishing some more work he went upstairs.He found, Surbhi is moving in bed ,she is waking up.After fifteen minutes she wakes up.

"Good morning."Saurabh said with a warm smile.Her eyes stopped at his smile.She stare him and he hadn't interrupt her.

"You,happy."she pointed towards his smile.

"As long as you are at my side I'll be happy."he said with tone.She looks at her side then his side.She is sitting across him and both of their side is empty

"Side?"She asked.

"I mean to say that if you are present around me,I am happy."he explained and she nodded her head.She look around to figure out things.

"Toilet is in left."he said in soft voice.Its not easy for him to do it at daily basis.He is man of command and authority.He use his charm to get things done.Its hard to maintain calm demeanor.

Surbhi got information provided by him.She step down on the floor

"I can assist you."he offered and she jerk her head in no.He saw a maid passing by and sign her to come in.

"She is Ana ,she can help you."he said.May be she is comfortable with a woman . Surbhi did the opposite and hide behind him.She clutches his shirt tightly. He asked Ana to leave and turns towards her."It's okay.She is gone." he caressed her head and she relaxed a bit.H e doesn't say anything further and let her decide.

She moved inside without locking the door.She managed somehow with herself.

Her condition arise so many thoughts in his mind. We take things for granted when it's easily available.We never appreciate being human with sound mind and perfectly functioning body.When lost any of this then we realized value of it.He never thought that one day Surbhi lost her men... It's tough for him to admit it.She not like a mental patient who needs to put in mental asylum. She is afraid of strangers and intimacy.She catch things slowly and struggle to form proper sentence but she is not mad.

A nudge bring him back to reality.Surbhi is standing there with a toothbrush in hand.

"You want me to help you?"he asked

"It fall."she replied but he didn't understand.He hold her hand and put paste on brush.She tried to brush but paste fall on the tiles of washroom.He did it again and this time hold her hand.They were standing opposite to a mirror.Her gaze followed his gesture.She brushed her teeth with help of him. He asked her to stand under shower,check temperature of water.He switch on the shower and she almost managed to clean herself.He dried her body and make her wear a knee length dress.

"Come "he make her sit on the stool of dressing table.He combed her hairs and her facial expression told that she enjoyed the process. She looked him in mirror than his work with her hairs.He is struggling to  braided her hairs despite of taking guidance from youtube tutorial.She sat like an obedient child for not  troubling him more. He did it at last and took a sigh of relief.She clapped like an innocent child who doesn't understand tricks of manipulative world.

He bend on his knees across her.H e took her hands in his. Her eyes stay on him."Sweetheart"he said and she liked the endearing word.She mouthed the word again.

"I'll not hurt you ."he repeated his promise. She doesn't know how to respond with it.she focused on her lap.
