I changed the title from Fragile hearts to RUIN....
Changes will be done after completing the book.
Author's pov
In the evening Arushi got a call. Making Rishi lie on the bed from her stomach, she took her phone and left the bed. On the way to balcony, she galnced at Aditya's sleeping form on the couch and rolled her eyes. His mouth was wide opened for flies to make their house.
"Hello."
"Ma'am.I am shekhar. I had sent you the document. It has the result." Arushi got happy with the news.
"That's a great news. Thank you so much Shekhar for your help."
"No problem mam. You please check it and tell me if there is any problem."
"Ok. Bye."
She turned only to face a tired Aditya.
"What." She asked on seeing him staring at her.
"Who called you at this time ?" He asked.
She smiled and snapped. "Tera baap. Go and sleep if you don't want to hear another chalisa from my mouth." With that Aditya ran and lied on the couch as he was already exhausted with their hour ago fight.
Arushi sighed and checked whether Aditya slept or not. Making sure he is not awake, she opened her phone, touched the document sent by Shekhar.
Please be negative..please be negative
She chanted continuously.
Test Result: Positive
Arushi gasped in shock. Her knees weakened and she fell down on the floor. She was devasted with the result.
Result is positive. She uttered in horror and started crying.
"I never imagined this." She murmured and stared at the screen showing result.
"You should not cry Arushi. You have to be strong. Now you have to be even more strong and deadly. You can't lose."
Wiping her tears harshly, she got up and took a deep breath. "I will destroy you soon."

The next morning Arushi woke up and went to the kitchen. She saw the maids preparing food for all. An idea popped in head and she smirked.
"Good morning all." She greeted them. The maids stopped their work and greeted her back awkwardly. They were shocked with her surprise entry.
"Good morning ma'am." Arushi nodded and looked at the dishes prepared.
"So everything is done ?"
"Yes ma'am. Breakfast is ready. Next we will start with lunch preparations."
She frowned and asked. "What about you guys ?. Don't you need rest ?" They didn't answer but remain silent. Their silence itself gave answer to her.
"Ok fine, but I am going to give rest for you all."
"Ma'am but."
"No buts and ifs. Everyone can take leave for 3 days plus you can take the food which you made to your home also."
"Ma'am sir won't like this. He won't give us salary."
"Areey I am here na. Don't worry about salary and all. You guys go, enjoy with your family and be happy."
Swetha Singhania got astonished seeing the maids going out from the mansion with their bags.
"Areyy, aap log kahan ja rahe hain."
"Main aapko batata hoon, mummy ji." Arushi interrupted sweetly and walked towards Swetha.
Mummy ji. Did she forgive me ? Swetha thought
"Um..beta what are you doing here ?. Go and take rest in your room" She tried to say ignoring her fear as Arushi's action was unexpected.
"Don't worry mummy ji. I will take rest. I just thought to take a look around and refresh old memories." Arushi taunted giving knowing look. Swetha gulped and tried to smile.
"What happened to the servants ?. Why are they going ?" She asked.
"Oh that, I just gave them leave."
"You did what ?" Abhimanyu shouted from the stairs.
"Hai, brother in law. I hope you had a great sleep since your dear sister in law came." Arushi grinned making him irritated.
"First you reply to my question what did you do to our maids ?" Abhimanyu asked again.
"Maine unhen chhutti de di, for three days. Is that a problem brother in law ?" She asked innocently. Abhi's eyes widened hearing 'three days'.
"Who are you to give leave to our staffs ?" Abhimanyu retorted back angrily.
Hearing the commotion, Aditya, Priya and Gautham ran towards the hall.
"Arey bhaiya tum itni jaldi bhool gaye. Don't worry I will make you remember. I am related to your dear brother. Main uski patni hoon."
Aditya froze in his way hearing Arushi's words. He stared at Arushi in disbelief.
Did she...did she accept me
He pinched himself to know whether it was his dream.
No no it's not my dream. That means she really said those words.
Aditya grinned happily. He just wanted to hug Arushi tightly and lay in front of her legs thanking for accepting him.
"Here comes my husbad." Arushi walked towards Aditya and stood in front of him.
"See your brother forgot who I am and is questioning my decisions. I am your wife right ?" Arushi asked. Aditya looked at her wide eyed.
She shook his shoulders. "Bolo na. I am your wife right?"
"Ye..yes."
"See." She turned towards Abhimanyu. "Your brother also gave you answer. Now do you have any doubt."
Abhimanyu ignored her and moved towards Aditya.
"Adi, your wife is crossing her limits. She gave leave to our staffs without asking us. Now who will cook food."
"Ohhhh..So my brother was worried about food hmmmm..."
"Kri...Arushi what is happening here and why did you do this ?". Aditya asked.
"I was bored husband. So thought of having an entertainment." Arushi smirked and sat on the sofa one leg over another. Aditya looked at her confused.
"Am I your entertainment ?". Abhimanyu growled.
Arushi grinned and nodded. "Yes. You are my entertainment brother in law.
Abhi's anger increased listening her words.
"Leave all these. I have a wish. Your new bride wants to eat food prepared by my in laws. Will you make my favourites for me.?
"No..of course Arushi. We will prepare for you." Aditya interrupted Abhimanyu.
Arushi jumped from the sofa, ran and pinched Aditya's cheeks "My lovely hubby." Aditya blushed. Others looked her as if she has grown two horns.
She forgot everything. Priya thought.
"I want to go outside for an urgent matter. I will go and get ready till then make food for me." Saying this Arushi rushed upstairs.
"Are you mad Adi ? Why did you listen to her ?."
"Bhaiyaa, she forgave me. Ma, she accepted me as her husband." Aditya expressed happily. Swetha nodded in tears.
"I am so happy today. She saw my tears and decided to forgive my sins. Is that a big thing bhaiya ?."
"Adi, don't trust her easily. She is very cunning." Abhimanyu tried to make him change his mind.
"Bhai stop you are talking about my wife. I trust her." Adi retorted.
"And this trust will once kill you." Abhimanyu warned.
