Ruhanika pov -
Despite my order for him to leave my room, he remained, staring at me intensely.
Despite the discomfort, there was a sense of peace in the air.
I couldn't help but long for his brown eyes that I had dearly missed.
As we locked gazes, lost in each other's intense stares, I found myself once again captivated by the emotions reflected in his hazel brown eyes.
Our silent exchange was interrupted by the arrival of his daughter.
" Popi - popi can I stay with uhhh"
I said "call me ruhh di"
She nodded yes and asked her dad
"can I sleep with her please please"
she said showing doe eyes to him
He looked at me and i understood the meaning still after years we understand each other by just our eyes just wow
He said crunching down to her level
"Yes my precious you can and don't disturb her, first come down and have food "
He asked me for food which I gracefully denied
he looked at me with concern and was about to ask but soon his wife came and interrupted
" hanvita baby come out mummy let's go down for food"
I expected Hanvita to go with her but to my surprise she embraced me in her tiny arms
"no I will come with ruhh di only "
I was confused but shrugged it off and said her
" beta you go I will come afterwards"
As I can't have anything before doing my prayers to lord Shiva and having the same meal as we all took the promise
And it was raining hard I haven't had anything since my flight
Reyansh gave me a weird look and went out
Soon I was alone and I felt hurt looking at him with his own family and here me got damn
I went inside the bathroom and changed into my comfortable clothes
It was still 8 o'clock at night so I guess I should wear oversized cargo pants with oversized top
I heard knocks at my door as soon as I opened I saw raghav standing wearing casual as I told him to
I was not in the mood to go down and face them but staying up won't help
I asked raghav about my Dubai work as we captured it we still have to work a lot at it
We both were discussing while heading down
I don't know I felt dizzy
We were walking down the stairs and I saw reyansh chacha looking at me with moist eyes he was like my father's figure but he ruined it ...
soon I felt everything moving
I lost my balance and was about to fall but raghav caught me and held me in his arm rushing down the stairs
Reyansh's sister was there too and after looking at me like this she called everyone
Author pov -
Ruhanika wasn't unconscious, but her body felt weak from dehydration and hunger, having gone without food or water.
Raghav helped her to sit down, then stepped outside to take a call, gesturing for Ruhanika .
Reyansh's mother came near her with concern
'beta,What happened why do you look pale ?"
Ruhanika said with stern and slow voice
" Stop calling me beta you lost the rights "
They all were already confused but her health was all they mattered
Hanvita got sacred looking at her like this
Reyansh stood at a distance, aware that approaching her might cause her to panic or worsen her condition.
Only he understood the struggle of restraining himself from intervening.
Shortly, Raghav returned, holding his phone, drawing everyone's puzzled attention.
Ruhanika's horror was evident, knowing exactly who was on the other end of the line and dreading what would come next.
Despite Raghav's urging, she pleaded with puppy eyes, reluctant to answer.
However, Raghav's own apprehension mirrored hers, indicating the gravity of the situation.
Amidst the silent confusion of onlookers, all eyes focused on Ruhanika, observing the return of her familiar demeanor with a sense of relief.
Summoning her courage, she reluctantly took the phone and answered, her voice trembling with fear.
(Abhas- Jojo )
Ruhanika - he...hello
Jojo - where are you ruhh ni lies
Ruhanika -uh... Uhh at someones house
She knows right now she messed up
Jojo - are we lieing ?
She got scared and because of her hunger she was on the verge of crying and she cried no one can stop Jojo to come and kill everyone she kept silent
Jojo - okay acha listen baby, are you okay?
Ruhanika - hm
Jojo - eat your food
He didn't said but ordered her
Ruhanika - but ......Jojo
Her eyes got moist everyone was unaware of whom she was talking to but after looking at her she meant that person
Jojo - see bacha your promised won't broke just do the poja in their house and eat food there ,your health is more important and no is there right now to handle you expect raghav and you are at rajvansh we never know someone over there and plus you have enemies you news of coming India has been leaked soo eat that's my order and I have eyes on you so don't
Ruhanika - okay okay I will eat
Everyone was happy looking at her obeying at someone and they can look affection and respect for the person but one question were making them curious who is the person?
Soon they ended the talk
Ruhanika glanced around at everyone staring at her she sighed high
She asked in her back to cold voice
Do you have a lord shivling in your Mandir ?
They looked at her with a puzzled face
Nikita with a done tone inquired
'Why? "
Ruhanika looked at her in disbelief already her hunger was not helping her mood
She rolled her eyes and retorted
"Just answer me "
Reyansh's bua responded sharply, "Yes, we have. But you're not going anywhere. Who's to say you won't pilfer some gold accessories?"
She mentally cursed her because she didn't had energy to fight back
Reyansh couldn't hold back his pent up frustration In all the chaos and roared in his darkest voice
' no single question will be asked further unless you want to face me "
The silence takes place in Rajvansh palace no one can voice over reyansh decision knowing the aftermath
Ruhanika couldn't help but feel a hint of amusement as he raised his voice at his family, a rare occurrence for him.
Despite this, she maintained her composed demeanor, showing no outward expression as she remained seated, patiently waiting for the drama to unfold.
A small, victorious smirk danced across her lips.
Looking at the Chaos
She loves drama
She gestured raghav to say he told
" Actually ma...uh... ruhanika has to perform some ritual to lord shivling so she can have food she can't have even one drop of water so can you show me the way till then ruhanika will change into her clothes "
Reyansh nodded and took her to the room
She went back to her room to get ready
Confusion gripped everyone as they struggled to comprehend the situation.
Reyansh urged Hanvita to eat, but she staunchly refused, declaring that if Ruhanika wasn't eating, neither would she.
Reyansh felt a mixture of happiness and concern witnessing Hanvita's growing affection for Ruhanika, aware of the implications it held for their future.
The sight of Hanvita forming a quick bond with Ruhanika brought joy to everyone present.
Meanwhile, Nikita couldn't shake off her fear of losing Reyansh.
As Ruhanika descended the stairs in a white saree, Reyansh found himself captivated, unable to look away.
She just captivated the beast in her small fingers
