Naina went and joined her friends for another ceremony which was decorating the room of bride and groom , her friends noticed that she was looking weak but naina denied and convinced them that she was just tired nothing else ,they decorated the room with white lilies and Red tulips since Anita loves flowers ,they decorated the bed with a big heart with the help of rose petals,they sprayed some perform and it was done ,Priya went and brought Anita into the room she made her sit on the bed, naina and neetu looked at her with smirkes on their faces
"Nervous ?" Priya asked and Anita nodded her head
"Or excited ? " Neetu asked raising her one eyebrow getting a glare from Anita in return,they stopped teasing her,they saw Anita fidgeting with her fingers ,she was shivering ,naina Priya and neetu sat down beside her ,they didn't know what to say as they looked at each other
"Anita don't worry I am sure jiju won't do something you don't like " naina said Anita looked at her as her face calmed down a bit ,she smiled and nodded her head but she couldn't stop herself from asking " how are you so sure about it?"
Naina didnt even know why she said that ,she just wanted to comfort and erase the tension from Anita 's mind
"I don't know it just came out of my mouth " naina said
"Do you feel safe around ahaan ?" Anita asked naina out of nowhere making her raise her eye brow in confusion ,she asked this question when they literally had a fight and he mishaved with her ,naina didn't know what to say but she didn't want to worry her friends so she nodded her head,obviously she wasn't lying ,she feels safe around ahaan " WHEN HE IS NOT RUDE OR POSSESSIVE TOWARDS HER "
Anita was about to question something again but they heard a door knock which saved naina from the situation,naina covered Anita with the veil over her head,Priya neetu immediately got off from the bed but before naina could leave,Anita held naina 's hand stopping her in her tracks " what happened to you ?" She asked
"Nothing happened" naina lied she smiled widely trying to convince Anita that everything is fine
"Stop smiling so much it looks fake " Anita said making naina chuckle ,her friends knows her from head to toe she thought
"Stop thinking about me and all the best,enjoy your night with your husband " naina said and immediately walked towards the door leaving Anita in shock ,she never heard naina being so bold when it comes to convos like this,may be this is ahaan 's effect she thought . After having a talk with ahaan last night,Anita was worried that this might cause problems between him and naina since Anita revealed about rudra but seems like she was wrong ,she felt relieved that she was just over thinking and ahaan wouldn't be so childish to fight over one sided love ,her attention was diverted towards the door where akash and his friends were standing ,akash was trying to sneak a glance towards Anita but Priya blocked his way
"Jiju sochna bhi mat ,jab tak aap hum ko shagun nahi de dete you are not allowed to come inside " Priya said
"Ok ok tell me how much " akash asked
The girls looked at each other with a smirk on their faces and said loudly
"Poore 1 lakh " naina said making ahaan cough loudly ,vineet and abhay 's eyes widened in shock
"Naina ye kya bol rahi hai tu " Anita said slowly though it was a whisper but they could hear her
" Humne joote chupaai ki rasm bhi nahi ki ,itna tho expect kar hi sakte hai na jiju common yaar" Priya said with a small Pout making abhay chuckle
"Common jiju Anita jaisi biwi mili hai aapko aur aapko pata hai she is looking like a princess and you are standing here and wasting your time " naina said as soon as she said she immediately covered her mouth with her hand realising what she just spilled out ,her gaze went on ahaan who was looking at her in disbelief,and akash was looking flustered ,abhay and vineet bursted into a laughter
To save the situation ahaan stepped in
"De de akash ,bhabhi ke aage ye 1lakh Kam hi hai " ahaan said
"Mai Dene hi waala tha wese bhi like naina said I don't want to waste my time " akash said making everyone laugh while naina looked down ,her cheeks flushed and ahaan was just looking at her with a smile on his face
Akash handed the money to the girls
"Abhi sirf 40k hai cash I promise I will give the remaining money tomorrow " akash said and the girls smiled
"We were joking jiju hum aapse 1lakh thodi lenge " Priya said making akash smile widely
"But I didn't know this kid from your group is wild one " akash said placing his hand on naina's head making her more flushed
"Jiju please " naina whined and ran away from there ,others laughed loudly
Everyone left the room leaving the bride and groom alone

Ahaan was sitting in the garden area with vineet and abhay ,the boys were smoking while ahaan was sending some mails using his laptop
"So? " Vineet started the convo
"So what ?" Abhay asked
"Hum sab do teen din Mai waapas Delhi chale jaayenge aur isko koi farak hi nahi padh raha dekh kaise laga huwa hai laptop pe" vineet said looking at ahaan who was busy working eventhough he heard it but didn't react
"Hmm baat tho tu bilkul sahi keh raha hai ,ahaan ! kuch time ke liye hum saath mai hai humare saath baat tho karle phir tho tu kahaan hum kahaan " abhay said
"Naatak mat karo dono tum log bhi kahaan call karte ho mujhe " ahaan said
"Tu call receive karta hai kabhi ? Din Mai call kar nahi sakte kyun ki tu hospital Mai hota hai ,raat ko tu hardly calls receive karta hai ya phir Tera mobile switched off rehta hai ,tujhe pata bhi hai tera bhai kitne calls karta hai hume ye puchne ke liye ki tu theek hai ya nahi ,2 saal beet gaye ahaan tujhe Delhi waapas aa ke ,ek baar ghar chala Jaa ,your family miss you so much" abhay said
Ahaan closed the laptop and said " bahut late ho gaya hai let's go to sleep "
"Kab tak bhaagega ,Running away is not a solution" vineet said as ahaan tried to walk away again ,ahaan stopped in tracks ,he sat down on the bench
"I am tired " ahaan said
"Ahaan please ek baar Delhi waapas aa jaa ,apni family se mil le they all are so worried ,your brother don't tell you anything because he doesn't want to force you and want to give you space but he is always so worried for you " abhay said he placed his hand on ahaan 's shoulder
"I will think about it ,i still need some time " ahaan replied looking at abhay
"It's been more than 2 years already,how much more time do you need ?" Vineet asked
"Bas kuch time aur " ahaan replied looking down
After the convo ,none of the boys spoke anything,they sat there silently ,ahaan was emotional ,vineet and abhay understood his situation
They heard some voices from the other side of the garden area ,they turned around to see who it was
Naina was on the phone call ,her friends were with her ,the girls were giggling and laughing while naina was talking on the phone
Naina 's pov
After all the ceremonies we went back to our room , I changed my dress as it was a bit heavy and I was so damn tired ,neetu and Priya too looked so tired ,after changing we sat on the bed ,I was lying down and got lost in the thoughts ,I still couldn't forget the harsh words of ahaan ,I was still in disbelief
"Naina what happened?" Priya asked
I didn't say anything
" Ahaan ne kuch kahaan kya tujhe? Did you both fight " Neetu asked and that was it I broke down
Priya immediately hugged me and asked me to stop crying
" Stop crying " neetu said
"Huwa kya hai kuch bolegi ?" Priya asked ,she wiped my tears and made me look towards her
"Wo" before I could say something my mobile rang , I took my mobile to check who it was
"Bhai? " I said and looked at Priya and neetu ,even they got tensed up
I immediately wiped my eyes properly and got up from the bed, Priya neetu followed me ,the network was horrible so we had to go to the garden area
"Bhai aap itni raat ko ?" I said
"Disturb tho nahi kiya na ,tu so gayi thi kya?" Bhai said
"No Bhai i was awake kaise ho aap aur baaki sab kaise hai " i asked trying to sound as happy as I can
"Naina tu tho apne bhai ko bhool hi gayi ek call Tak nahi kiya tune " Bhai started complaining ,Priya and neetu started giggling since they snatched my mobile and kept it on loud speaker they love to make fun of my brother,they address him as Hitler because he is strict and scares everyone around him including me but he loves me so much
"Naina how are you ,tu apna khayaal tho rakh Rahi haina ,dawaayi time se le rahi hai ya nahi aur ye dono hass kyun rahi hai ask them to be ready to get lectured by me when they come back to Mumbai " Bhai said making us giggle
"Bhai relax I am fine ,yes I am taking my medicines on time ( i lied ) everything is
fine ", i said
" Naina what's wrong with your voice ?" Bhai asked
Shit my voice probably changed because of heavy shouting and crying session I had ,I looked at Priya and neetu to save me but they just stood still looking at me by raising their eye brows
"Bhai wo naina ne ice cream khaa Li tho shaayad isiliye gala baith gaya hai " neetu said loudly
"Ye dono sach keh Rahi haina naina tu sach Mai theek tho haina " Bhai asked again I bit my lowerlip,tears started rolling down my cheeks as soon as I saw ahaan at a distance,ahaan was still staring at me,he took a step forward but abhay stopped him
"Naina?" Bhai called my name loudly
"Naina kya kar rahi baat kar " Priya said shaking my shoulders
I immediately wiped my tears and tried to speak normally
"Bhai I am feeling sleepy Mai aapse Ghar aake baat karti hoon " i said when I was about to cut the call
"Naina I won't be there ,mujhe ek case ke investigation ke liye Mumbai ke baahar jaana padega so I called you to inform about it " Bhai said making me sad
"Par Bhai 2 din baad tho reception hai aap aa jaaoge na? " I asked
"I will try to come back as soon as possible but pakka kuch keh nahi sakta par i will try ,agar nahi aa paaya tho tu please Anita ko sorry bol dena meri taraf se chal bye I have to read some important documents regarding the case " Bhai said
"Aap abhi tak police station Mai hi ho ?" I asked
"Yes abhi thodi der Mai nikal jaaoga" Bhai said
I checked the time it was 1am already
"Bhai it's midnight already,mom wait kar rahi hogi " i said getting little frustrated by Bhai 's behaviour,he rarely gives time to our family ,i understand that he is a police officer and he has to be very devoted to his duties but he hardly makes time for us ,it's only me who argues with him regarding this matter ,mom dad never says anything to him
"Simran it's an important case" Bhai said he was so serious about it,so I got curious
"It's a rape case " Bhai said making me little tensed , because I heard about this case two days back
"Bhai don't tell me you are investigating about the case where two government officials are linked into it " I asked ,my heart was beating so fast ,I read the news few days back ,the rape case was filed where the culprits are from well known political party
"Naina tu ye sab mat soch ,the case was filed in my police station and I know how to deal with it ,tu tension mat le ,chal good night I will call you soon " Bhai said and ended the call before I could response to it
"He always takes risk he never cares about himself or our family" i shouted in annoyance
"Naina itni tension kyun le rahi hai Vikram Bhai is the best officer of Mumbai and he knows how to deal with such criminals " Priya said
"But it can be dangerous " neetu said
"Exactly it can be dangerous he never cares about us " i replied
"Par naina it's a rape case don't you want the victim to get the justice she deserves " Priya asked
I looked at her and just nodded my head
"Tension mat le and trust your brother " neetu said
"Chal bahut raat ho gayi hai let's go and sleep " Priya said
We were about leave when suddenly ahaan held my hand making me stop in my tracks
