Siya's POV:

His words left me in thoughts...

I didn't know what to say...

But actually Daadi was right...

There is no point of continuing anything like this now 😒

We got in this marriage for our own commitments.

He to save Sehgal Mansion!

Me to save him!

But we had our own reasons...

But now?

For this relationship???

Do I have a reason to continue?

You don't really Siya? 😉

I don't know 😒

Are you sure Siyaaa? He makes a butterfly zoo open to all when he comes closer to you!!!

No.. nothing like that!

Shutup Siya!!! Accept it!!! Whole world can see it! Even if you deny!

Fine!!! There is attraction!

But love is a big word!

And is the key element in marriage! And I really don't know if there is LOVE!!!
I mean...I... I don't know  🙄

Well then don't you think you must give it a chance rather than giving up on it sooo easily!

Tell me ..can you live without him!

Ummm .....

You can't you fool! You know that!

Yeah ok fine! I can't!!! I ...I like his company...

But like and love are two big words!

I have a crush on him definitely but is that love...I don't know!

So you will just let it go???

Won't give it a thought??? A chance?

While my mind was still wandering in these thoughts I heard a knock at the door and saw it was Raghav...

He had come back with a laptop bag handing on his shoulder ...His suit was gone and had worn a blue tshirt...

I narrowed my eyebrows..

'Whatttt' he asked looking at my face..

'You...ummm..I mean ..'

'Madam I have been staying with you all these months when you were in coma. I'm your room partner!!!' he said..

And I looked at him while he settled on the couch in the room.

I was still shocked.

'I...I'll manage Raghav..I can call the nurse if needed' I said and he smiled...

'Look Siyu... My taking care of you is nowhere to influence you on your decision for tomorrow! This will still be on if you choose friendship alone and not our marriage! You are still my bestie Siya! Will forever remain one!' he said...

And I smiled...

'Did you eat the soup??? And oats?' he asked

I nodded a yes..

'Ok...time for meds comeon...' saying he gave me a few tablets and I made a face but when he threatened me that if not this then they will give me an injection I swallowed them without any complaints...but making gross expressions!!!

He started laughing 🤣

I looked at him 'What is so funny huhhh' I asked

To which he chuckled and said 'The girl who is so scared of an injection took two bullets on her shoulder and neck! Woooow!!!'

'Ohhh please... What did you want me to do.. wait for him to shoot at you? Nothing striked me at that minute'

'So you took it on you??? Really?' he said with his laughter gone and only a serious expression...

I gulped my saliva...I didn't know what to say ...I didn't have any words...

While I was still contemplating what to say...

I felt ny head in the warmth off his chest...

I closed my eyes. .

I loved that touch! This feeling!

In sometime he kissed my hairs and mumbled a goodnight..

'Sleep sweetheart... Your eyes need rest!' he again kissed my hairs...

I nodded my head and slowly lied down..

He was about to go away while I don't know what went into me...

I held his hand...

He turned around to look at me...

'Raghav... I ...I want to give this marriage a chance!'

I said with complete honesty and next I saw his eyes almost popped out... 😳

He came back and took a seat on the side of my bed...

'Yes... I thought about it a lot... Let me be honest...I don't know how is this going to continue...but I always wanted this marriage to last..'

While he looked shocked again...

'Yes it's sacred for me... But yes along with this I'm telling you with complete honesty that i don't know where this will go..I mean...I ...I like you... But emotions beyond that I mean...you know... Husband and wife...I mean'

To which I suddenly was pulled in a tight hug and I was shocked 😳

I felt his hands move freely on my back while his beardo face digged my neck releasing a hundred butterflies in my stomach...

His stubble tickled me a bit but his lips on my shoulders made my heart thump louder!

'Thank you sweetheart' he said ...

I could feel he was sobbing...

He pulled out of my embrace and said cupping my face...
'Dont worry... We will find our own little world sooner or later baby'

And kissed my forehead while I nodded and smiled...

He was still cupping my face and looking intently into my face...

While suddenly nurse came in and our moment was lost...

She checked upon my BP and checked my blood sugar levels too and confirmed I'm good.

While Raghav asked me to lie down...while I saw he was still working...

'Sleep Raghav' I told him...

He smiled and said 'I will baby... You take rest... goodnight'

And I smiled... There was a serenity on his face and a smile on mine...

It felt great 💖

***

I was been discharged while doctor had still denied me from walking... Although I was told to take baby steps with help of someone...

I was made to sit in Raghav's car with help of wheelchair but I hated the feeling of a wheelchair!!!

'Why are you upset? Today is your day ... everyone is soooo over excited there back home
..Entire family is waiting for you like you are a celebrity there...'

I smiled and said ' Yes I'm very happy to go back home...but I hate that wheelchair...it makes me feel low!!!'

In no time we reached home..

I saw our entire family waiting for me while Anuj pulled out the wheel chair from the backseat I made a gross face again...

But before I could say anything I was up for a shock...

Raghav had carried me in his arms like I was a little nothing...

My face was all flushed ...

'Ra...Rag...Rag...Ragh'

'Shhhh... Quiet!!! You only told na you hate wheelchair...this is my alternate arrangement...I hope you like my embrace...' he Said looking deep in my eyes and next second my heart was beating in my mouth.

While entire family was doing awwww about us..His eyes were still looking deep into my eyes...

We took everyone's blessings...

And next he slowly took baby steps towards his bedroom but didn't place me on the bed...

'Put me down on the bed' I said...

To which he smirked...

'Why...don't like your husband's embrace? Huhh?' saying he curled me more into his chest...

'Put me down now Raghav!!!' I said...

'Everything comes with a price...no free service madam! I'm a hardcore businessman now! So ....' he smiled mischievously

'So🤨' I raised my one eyebrow at him...

He bent his face towards me and huskily whispered...
'Kiss me Siya' he said and my eyes popped out 😳

'Yea... Kiss me if you want to land on bed if not...I don't mind you in my arms at allllll... Was unable to go to gym today.... I'll have a little exercise in the name of this!!!" He said
..
I narrowed my eyebrows...

'Put me down NOW!' I screamed

'Kiss me tight NOW!' softer than a whisper and I shivered....
And now he was eyeing my lips and I froze at his words and his eyes

I swallowed a lump of nervousness but his eyes were all shameless...

And here I was melting under his gaze!

Shit 🙈
