She was in a bed a luxurious one at that as her gaze finally registered her position her eyes widene filling with a mixture of shock and utter bewilderment
" hey bhagwan hum yaha kab or kaise aaye, how on earth did i end up on this monster's bed hum to car main the na " she gasped, her heart pounding against her ribs
Panic seized her making her breath catch in her throat
" oh forgot how you got here, before that dracula comes and sees me on his bed and eat me raw, get out of here ayesha run for your life "
She quickly got off the bed she bolted towards what she hoped was the bathroom not daring to spare a glance around the room her haste proved to be her undoing as she collided with something or rather ' someone ' with a bone jarring force
She braced herself waiting for her behind to kiss the floor but she didn't fall she fluttered her eyes open and there he was — AYANSH
His strong arms had instinctively shot out one wrapped securely around her waist the other one supporting her back he had clearly just stepped out of the shower
His sculpted naked torso glistened with drops of water and a single towel hung precariously low on his hips
Ayansh gaze dark and intense was fixed on her face but ayesha's eyes disobedient and bold were already betraying her they were shamelessly devouring his perfect chiseled eight-pack abs, tracing every defined line, every curve of his powerful physique
She could feel a blush creeping up her neck but she couldn't tear her gaze away
Ayansh feeling the blantat admiration in her stare a slow predatory smirk began to play on his lips and without a word without a moment's hesitation he released her the sudden loss of support sent her sprawling unceremoniously onto the plush carpet
" if you were just going to drop me, why did you even bother to catch me you dracula " she shrieked, her voice laced with a potent mix of pain and fury as she rubbed her aching backside
" exactly! I shouldn't have bothered and wait a sec what did you just call me? Dracual? " his voice dropped, each word laced with a dangerous edge his eyes narrowing to slits
" no i didn't say dracula! Why would i say dracula you're not dracula.....dracula.....i mean, you're not...." She stammered her words tripping over themselves in a desperate attempt to backtrack
" quiet biwi " his voice cut through her rambling, sharp and authoritative he glared at her a silent threat in his eyes and she instantly clamped her mouth shut
Her gaze dropping to the floor like a chastised kid
He turned and began to stride towards the colossal walk in closet
" huh dracula indeed I'll call him what he is " she mumble under her breath, a defiant whisper " dracula dracula dracula "
" BIWI " ayansh's voice boomed startling her, he had clearly heard her she instinctively brought a finger to her lips, her eyes wide with a childlike fear and cast her gaze downwards once move
He shot her one last withering look before disappearing into the depth of the closet
As soon as the door clicked shut she collapsed onto the floor, crossing her legs and resting her elbows on her lap her hand cradling her cheeks a dreamy almost maniacal grin spread across her face
" is unwanted shadi main bhi kya maal pati diya hai aapne hume bhagwan ji meri jitni bhi shikiyat thi na is shadi ko lekr aaj sub khatam are aise maal pati ko dekh kar kahi hum hi na khatam ho jaye thanku thanku bhagwan ji thanku hey bhagwan " she practically sang, her voice filled with almost delirious joy as she began to roll around on the floor giggling like a madwomen
Just then he emerged from the closet fully dressed and his eyes fell upon her, still rolling on the floor like an escaped mental patient, a look of utter bewilderment mixture with hint of disgust contered his features
" what the hell......what is this crazy behavior? Don't tell me i actually ended up marrying a lunatic " he muttered to himself shaking his head
" bi-biwi are you.....are you alright " he asked, his voice hesitant addressing the women who was still blissfully rolling on the floor
At the sound of his voice she stopped her bizarre rolling, scrambling to her feet in a flurry of motion
" haa hum to ek dam thik hai ji " she chriped her voice dripping with an almost unbelievable innocence as she calmly walked into the bathroom as if her previous antics were the most normal thing in the world
He stood there dumbfounded watching her retreating figure before slowly shaking his head, a faint almost imperceptible curve a hint of a smile touched his lips and he left the room
ON THE OTHER SIDE
" ahhhhhhhhhhhhh mummy " kritika peaceful slumber was violently shattered by a piercing scream that ripped through the quiet morning
Her eyes snapped open and she bolted upright in bed heart hammering against her ribs as she frantically searched the room
" where in the earth did rudra ji go " she mumble, her voice thick with sleep and confusion as her gaze darted around the empty space beside her
" are main yaha hu kabhi niche bhi dekh liya karo na " rudra's voice laced with a mix of pain and exasperation boomed from the floor
She finally looked down her eyes widening in alarm to find him sprawled on the cold hard ground one hand clutched tightly to his lower back a grimace etched on his face
" what on earth are you doing down there i explicitly told you to sleep on the couch not the floor " she exclaimed her voice mix of exasperation and bubbling concern as she swiftly swung her legs off the bed and hurried to his side
" are you...are you completely blink kriti dikh nahi raha ki main gir gya hu " he retorted his voice sharp with irritation his face contorted in pain
" aap to hai hi gire hue " she muttered under her breath a ting unbidden giggle escaping her lips as she fought to keep a straight face
" what? What did you just say you cunning tigerss " he demanded his eye brows furrowing in a comical attempt at severity
" hehe nothing at all rudra ji come on let's get up " she quickly back tracked, offering him a hand with a gently tug she helped him to his feet and carefully guide him back to the relative comfort of the couch
" aap ye batiye aap gir kaise gye " she asked, her voice now softening with genuine worry as she exclaimed him for injuries
" look at me my little innocent tigress and look at this wretched glorified plank they call a couch i just couldn't get comfortable and i must have rolled right off " he grumbled rubbing his aching back
" did you.....did you get hurt " her voice was barely a whisper now laced with a palpable tremor of concern
" hurt? Me? No, not at all who said anything about me being hurt i'm practically made of stone kriti that ridiculous slogan ' mard ko kabhi dard nahi hota ' was clearly coined with me in mind " he declared dramatically his voice dripping with sarcasm
" oh really you're not hurt " she asked again her innocent eyes searching his face completely missing his sarcasm
" oh for haven's sake yes i'm hurt my blind tigress it's agony look at me i think my back is shattered call a doctor quickly " he yelled wincing as he tired to shift
" ok wait but listen i'm just sayi........" She began trying to say something
" no i don't want to hear it just call the doctor mommmm my back " he interrupted her cutting her off mid sentence with another pained cry
" wait rudra ji listen na..........." She tried again her patience wearing thin
" no i told you i don't want to hear it " he insisted his voice raising
" quiet rudra " her voice suddenly boomed sharpen than he'd even heard it
He flinched his eyes wide in surprise and clamped his mouth shut instantly
" better now show me exactly where it hurts I'll just put some balm on it " she said, her voice remarkably casual as if she hadn't just silenced him with a single word
Rudra eyes widened comically
" aren't you.........aren't you ashamed " he stammered a blush creeping up his neck and across his cheeks
" and why on the earth would i be ashamed " she countered crossing her arms around her chest
" because.........because you'll be seeing me without my tshirt " he mumbled casting a shy almost hopeful glance at her
She stared at him for a moment an expression of utter disbelief on her face before she slowly began to turn and walk away
" ok ok sorry please kriti just put the balm on " he pleaded his voice taking on an almost child-like cute quality
" such a drama queen " she thought to herself a small smile playing on her lips
she walked over to the bedside table opened the drawer and pulled out a tube of healing cream she then returned to the couch and sat beside him
" take off your tshirt " she instructed her voice calm but firm
He hesitated for a brief moment his eyes meeting her before slowly almost reluctantly he pulled his tshirt over his head the sight of his bare torso made her cheeks flush a deeper shade of red she quickly averted her gaze looking anywhere but him
She took a deep steadying breath then she squeezed a generous dollop of cream onto her finger and gently began to rub it onto the area of his lower back where he'd indicated pain
" ah " a sharp, pained gasp escaped rudra's lip as her finger made contact
" sorry just a little more it's almost done " she murmured, her touch softening in a few more moments she was finished
" there it's done now you should rest " she said starting to get up from the couch
Before she could rudra's hand shot out his fingers closing gently around her wrist with a soft deliberate tug
He pulled her towards him she gasped softly as she unexpectedly landed on his lap her eyes wide with shock staring up at him
" wh-what are you doing let go of me " she stammered, her voice barely a whisper a frantic flutter in her chest but he seemed not to hear her words instead he leaned closer his warm breath ghosting over her cheek and pressed a soft lingering kiss just below her ear
She froze every muscle in her body locking up in stunned silence
" sukriya " he whispered, his voice deep and resonant sending shiver down her spine
she slowly turned her head her face a fiery crimson her eyes wide and disbelieving without a single word she scrambled off his lap and practically fled towards the bathroom
Leaving him chuckling softly to himself a triumphant smile on his face
IN DINING HALL
the clinking of cutlery and low hum of conversation filled the spacious dining hall as everyone settled into their familiar chairs
Ayansh arrived walked in with an air of quiet confidence and took his usual seat his eyes however immediately gravitated towards shivansh, manvi and ruhaan who were practically vibrating with suppressed mischief their faces adorned with knowing impish grins
Ayansh raised an eyebrow a silent question in his gaze
" what " he asked, his voice calm but firm
" kuch nahi bhai kuch nahi " manvi chirped her eyes sparkling with unshared amusement
" bhai why weren't you at the gym this morning " shivansh piped up a carefully innocent expression on his face
But before ayansh could ever formulate a reply shivansh's face broke into a full blown smirk
" oh forgive me i completely forgot why lift dumbbells when you were already lifting our dear sister-in-law yesterday "
A wave of laughter erupted around the table
Ayansh however shot shivansh a look so deadly so chilling that instantly wiped the smirk from his face and snapped his mouth shut
" biwi is practically lighter than a feather " ayansh mused inwardly a faint smile playing on his lips despite the obvious teasing
" kriti beta where is rudra he should have joined us for breakfast by now " priya ji asked her voice gently and a little concerned
" umm choti maa he'll be here any min now " she replied her voice still a little flustered
" but wait a sec........why is bhai's hand on his lower back " shivansh observed, a curious frown creasing his brow as rudra slowly made his way into the hall
His hand still firmly pressed against his waist he finally reached his chair and sank into it with a soft sigh
" rudra beta what happened to your back " nitya ji asked, her voice laced with worry
" nothing mom just a little bit of pain " he replied, trying to sound nonchalant
" hmmhmmm bhai what exactly did you do to get a backache " shivansh persisted a mischievous smirk returning to his face as he winked teasingly
At shivansh's loaded question kritika's eyes widened in alarm and a deep flush spread across her face she immediately bowed her face desperately trying to hide her embarrassment
Rudra was about to snap back at shivansh but then his eyes fell on her and seeing her mortified expression a slow knowing smirk began to form on his face he turned back to shivansh
" you should ask your bhabhi this is all her doing " he declared with a slight wicked smirk
Kritika's head shot up her eyes blazing with indignation as she glared at him, he however skillfully avoided her furious gaze
" bhabhi what on earth happened that caused bhai's backache " shivansh pressed clearly enjoying the drama
" if something had happened the pain would be in my back not his " she muttered softly to herself barely audible but rudra with his heightened sense caught every word and a hot flush spread across his own cheeks
" oh god how utterly shameless is this girl, muttering such thing in front of everyone what if someone heard her " he thought mortified as he stole a glanced at her
Then speaking louder kirtika declared " i didn't do anything truly he's lying "
" oh she's clever too just you wait " he thought, a playful smirk dancing on his lips
" oh i'm lying then tell everyone the truth " he provoked her his voice goading
" it was bcs of that cou.........." She began her voice rising in indignation before she suddenly clamped her mouth shut, realizing the secret she about to reveal
" what bhabhi ji please finish what are you were saying " she urged his voice thick with teasing anticipation
" yes yes bhabhi tell us what....." Manvi insisted leaning forward expectantly
Everyone at the table looked at her, their eyes filled with curiosity but Kritika said nothing her head still bowed in mortified silence Rudra looked at her truly seeing her for the first time that morning, and noticed how deeply embarrassed and uncomfortable she was
" Enough Everyone quiet down, right now " Rudra's voice suddenly boomed, sharper than before Everyone, except for Ayansh, flinched and immediately fell silent
" I fell off the bed that's why I got hurt! Now are you all happy? " Rudra declared, his voice firm ending the interrogation
"Not too badly, I hope If the pain is too much, should I call a doctor " Nitya ji asked, her concern unwavering.
"No, Mom it's not too bad, and there's absolutely no need for a doctor " Rudra said with a reassuring smile. "My personal doctor has already taken care of me "
Kritika's cheeks once again flushed a fiery red and she nervously glanced around avoiding eye contact.
"Ayesha Bhabhi, where is she? I don't see her," Rudra asked looking pointedly at Ayansh a faint, knowing smirk playing on his lips
"Bastard," Ayansh cursed him silently, taking a sip of his coffee.
"I was just about to ask the same thing, Ayansh, where is Ayesha?" Nitya ji chimed in.
"Mom, she'll be here any minute," Ayansh replied calmly
