[18]

It's almost 10 at night when Ranveer reached his home. Don't know why he couldn't stay longer but at the same time he has to finished the given work.

Previously he didn't mind doing his work but now don't know why as much as he says he wasn't able to concentrate on work. Over that Ikshita's behaviour.

She was behaving strangely. Sitting in front of his table or talking unnecessary. And her accidental touches making him uncomfortable.

Was she always like this?

The shocking part is his brother who is so protective is not saying anything to her . Otherwise he always say not to mingle with servents.

He came out from office building without informing anything.

Dhruvika's behaviour is unusual...has been always unusual though cuz before marriage she was something like today but she wasn't behaving like this after marriage.

He reached home and his eyes went surprised seeing the door is not locked.

He entered only to panick.

There are many blood drops on floor.

He put the bag there and started to search for her in fear.

She is okay...she has to be.. he chanted

he spotted her in bathroom doing something.

He went closer and his eyes widened seeing her hand.

"how did this happen?" He asked taking her hand which was she washing.

"Just happened" she tried to took her hand back from her panicking husband.

"Just...?" He was shocked and almost going to faint ...may be.

"Why are you behaving like this? It's just a small scratch" she shrugged her shoulder as she successfully took .... snatch her hand from him.

He just looked at her in shock.

"Move I have so many work" she tried to go away but he hold her hand...

"You are not doing any work" he spoke gritting his teeth.

Dhruvika scrunched her eyebrows seeing some emotions in her emotionless husband.

Anger.

He took out his handkerchief and warped arround her wound and dragged her out.

He started his bike but she didn't sit.

"Please sit" he spoke suppressing his anger. Her wound need treatment.

She huffed and hopped on.

"how did this happen? This is so deep that we have to put three stitches" the doctor said writing the medicines.

"Accidentally" she said making her husband close his eyes in irritation.

She didn't cried but she was scared when they put stitches. Seeing her scared he hold her shoulder and she hide her face on his stomach. He closed his eyes when the needle insert in her skin like he is the one who is in pain.

She did same when they gave her injection making her husband more scared internally.

He don't fear anything but she is so .... delicate, soft. It must be paining as hell . He thought.

"Be careful and have these medicines"

Ranveer took the prescription and cone out holding her hand then he brought the medicine before coming to his bike.

It's already midnight. The outside environment is chilly.

He took out his overcoat and wrapped arround her shoulder before starting the bike.

She wore it properly before hopping on. She sat putting her leg each on other side. As she was wearing Kurti she didn't have any problem.

Ranveer started the bike.

In midway Ranveer felt her waight on his back.

She has slept .

Ge stopped the bike and tried to take the sleeves of the overcoat but she has wore it so he took her both hands especially the wounded hand carefully and warped arround him.

He hold her squiz her hands under his arms as he has to start the bike but after starting he hold them .

She would fell otherwise.

He gave himself excuse.

He stopped the bike and shake her.

She groggily opened her eyes, hooded with sleep.

She went inside the house and then room before plopping herself on mattress. She didn't even care to discard his coat

Ranveer entered after sometime and went to kitchen and started to look arround. He don't know k' in kitchen.

Then his eyes fell on a hot case. He opened it and found rotis and other hand curry.

She must have cooked. He cursed himself...why is she working not going back.He served in one plate and took the water bottle before coming inside.

She was sleeping. He sit beside her and shook her.

"What?" She asked irritatedly.

"Eat and then sleep" he said.

"No I am sleepy" he sighed and put the plate on floor before making her sit...

"Whaat?" She pouting.

"Eat " he forwarded a morsel. She ate it and then did something which made his breath hitched. She leaned to his chest.

His heartbeat increased. But he continue to feed her .

"No more" she said

"A little..."

"Nooo" she said making his sighed.

after that he foreward the medicine but she was too sleepy. He carefully foreward them to her mouth but when his fingers touched her lips he got stiff.

She took the medicine and gulped as he made her drink water. He then took little amount of water and almost hasitatly and nervously wiped her lips.

"Done?" She asked

"Hmm" and she fell on mattress. His nervous instantly got replaced with amusement.

He came out holding the plate.

After getting changed he went to kitchen and took the plate where she left the food and served himself from the hot case. He ate silently and then went to sleep.

She was in deep sleep. He saw she has put her wounded hand in a odd position. He carefully took it and placed on pillow carefully.

He looked at her. When Ikshita touch him accidentally he felt like his skin got burnt but when she touched him he didn't feel like this. Her touch is like something which is undesirable. he won't accept but it's gave him a satisfactory feeling. Like it's belongs to him.

Why?

Next day he woke up earlier and clean the house. He saw broken planters. May be she got hurt here. He cleaned them mentally deciding something.

He took out bread and put jam on it and cut some fruits. He ate and then served carefully on plate and cover it with another plate.

He got ready but then remember about his overcoat which was she is wearing. He looked at her who was in deep sleep. He don't have other pairs of uniform here. They are present in servent quater.

She was in deep sleep and doctor has also said to give her rest.

It won't be problem to go without overcoat...

But then what should he do about the lock.

He got an idea and massage her.

Use the backside door. I am looking the main door from outside and another pair of key is present on table.

And have breakfast then the medicine which I put on the plate.

He went close to her and adjusted her blanket and don't know how his hand raised his own to her face but before it can touch her face he realised and took it back...

What's he is doing?

He lock the door and come out..

He reached office. As he thought there is rarely anyone present. He went towards his table. He needs to finish it then he has to talk with security as Agastya has to go another city his father order him to take care of things.

He rushed towards his table but frowned seeing a lady there who's back is facing towards him.

His steps get slower as he reached Little away she turned with a smile.

Ikshita..

"Oohh Ronny you came I was waiting for.........." Her smile dimmed as her fell on him....his collar.

Lipstick mark??
