THEIR UNWANTED MARRIAGE

PART 26

Happy Reading!

Abhishek's POV:

Arohi was sitting on mylap, silent tears rolling down her eyes. I let her cry because I knew that she needs to be strong in front of Ritika.

No girl deserves to be treated this way. I met Ritika only once, on the day of event, and I could see the shine in her eyes, her jolly and bubbly nature. But the Ritika I witnessed just 2 days later is so so broken and vulnerable. Her eyes hold the fear of being used again.

I swear I'm going to make that bastard's life a living hell. I'll make him vanish in thin air and he will have to meet torture and the evil side of Abhishek Mehra.

I looked at Arohi, her head is on my chest and hands around my torso, crying silently. For the first time her silence is killing me.

We sat in silence. After some time she broke the silence "Abhi?" I hummed.

"Thank you" she said looking up. I raised an eyebrow as to know why. She chuckled and pecked my lips, taking me by surprise. "Thank you for supporting Ritika and letting her stay here"

I chucked and took her into a soft kiss. I left her when she was breathless, and she snuggled more into me. I held her close to me and a smile formed on my face.

We stayed like that for a long time. Me playing with her hairs and her playing with my ring.

"I'll go check on Riti" she said getting up.

I switched off all the lights and then went upstairs to her room. She was sitting there by her side caressing her hairs.

I went in and stood there. "You c-can sleep in m-my room if you want" I offered. But why am I stuttering.

She looked at me then at Ritika. She thought god knows what, then tucked her properly with the duvet and kissed her forehead.

"Umm.. I'll stay here, what if she needs something or wakes up at night" I nodded and went to my room.

I changed my clothes and was sitting on the bed when my phone went off with Varun's text.

Varun - Everything good?

Me - Yeah.

Varun - Ask bhabhi for some details about that fucker, we need to find him.

Me - I'll ask her tomorrow.

I kept my phone aside and laid down. I don't know when I slept.

.

I got up and went to check on Arohi. I opened her door and found both of them sleeping. Turning the door close I went to hit the gym.

After gym I went for a shower. When I came out Arohi was there taking out my clothes.

"How's Ritika?" I asked taking my shirt.

"She woke up some time ago. But she's not saying anything" she said with a sigh.

We can't even imagine what she must be going through, all we can do is support her and be there for her. Looking at Arohi, I can tell that she didn't sleep properly. She must be awake the whole time, waiting for her to wake up, but then eventually fall asleep.

I pulled her in a hug "It's okay. She needs time. She went through a lot" she just hummed and snuggled into my chest.

"Breakfast is ready, come down" she said breaking the hug and I just nodded.
