#1 [Tied to You] : his to love

14. [Damaad Ji]

"Mr. Malhotra.." Rumika flinched.

"You like being scooped in my arms.. Mrs. Malhotra, don't you?" Yugant said while he stepped into the room.

"Isn't it opposite Mr. Malhotra... It's you who likes to pick me up in your arms the whole time."
Rumika said.

"True.. "

As the word left from Yugant's mouth, Rumika smiled but her smile dropped listening to his next words.

"Because my little wife bounces here and there everytime... I don't want her to get lost in this big world.. "

"Mr. Malhotra keep me down." She yelled

He kept her on the bed.

"And don't call me that. " Rumika scoffed.

"Call you what baby? " He said in a teasing tone whilst he also climbed over the bed.

Rumika's heart fluttered...her cheeks got red listening to that.

"Stop that." Rumika said looking at his lying figure.

"Stop what squirrel?" Yugant said raising his eyebrows while scrolling through his emails on the phone.

"Mr. Malhotra..."

"Yes Mrs. Malhotra?... "

Yugant said in a teasing tone making Rumika scoffed.

She huffed and laid on her side.

"Floccinaucinihilipilification" She muttered under her breathe.

Yugant smiled after making her wife all worked up.

He put his phone on silent and kept it on the side table.

He laid facing her back and pulled her in one go by her arm.

This time Rumika didn't flinch as she knew it was her husband every night routine pulling her close and cuddling all night sleeping in each other embrace.

Suddenly her eyes snapped. Her heartbeat was thumping like a DJ speaker does and butterflies were dancing in her stomach on the beat of her thumping heart when Yugant kissed her cheek.

He cuddled more and said near her temple.

"You look more cute when you are grumpy.. Mrs. Malhotra."

Yugant left her wife all stunned by his action.

She bit her lower lip and tried not to jump like her inner self was jumping in excitement.

Next day Yugant took Rumika to the hospital where her grandmother was admitted.

Rumika was getting restless with each passing moment. Her fingers were trembling imagining the worst scenarios.

Yugant held her hand giving her a squeeze while his other was busy in moving the steering wheel.

Rumika tightened the hold while she was looking down at her lap trying to control her tears.

She stepped down leaving his hand as soon as the car stopped infront of the hospital.

She ran inside the hospital but suddenly stopped in between the corridor as she didn't know the room no. her grandmother was into.

Yugant came from behind and held her hand gently. He walked leading her to the direction.

They stopped in front of a room and Rumika looked at Yugant.

He nodded and she opened the door.

"Dadi" A trembling voice left her mouth when she saw her grandmother lying on the hospital bed with injection injected into her hand and beep sound coming from the Heart rate monitor showing lines going up and down.
