Shubman's POV:
Soon the 4 months passed and Isha is almost running on each and every single person's mind of my family. And to be honest on mine too. After Tara I never thought I'll ever be able to trust anyone again. But Isha is totally different from other girls. For her family matters the most, her duty and responsibilities matters the most than herself. Isha has been by my side always and I also got recovered completely now. I can walk and run too but I didn't told Isha about this yet. My whole family knows this except her. She is the cutest soul I've ever met. Her smile, laugh, the way she blush, the way she looks at something all focused, the way she plays with Vami, the way she also gets happy whenever we are watching a match. She taught me some good business tricks and I taught her about cricket well to be honest three of us. Right now she was making our teas, green teas and milkshake. "Shub, mujhe pta hai sabse jyada funny kya lagta hai?? Kii Isha tujhe AAP bolti hai" laughed bhai, Ishan, bhabhi and our parents and grandparents too. I chuckled, soon she came out and handed us our teas. "Shubman, aapki lemon zest, and mint green tea" she said forwarding the mug. I took it from her hands, bhai, me and Ishan chukled slightly as she called me AAP again. We spent some good time and now after dinner I went back to our room with her help. Oh my goodness she was so tiny, she bent little and I took seat on my bed, she placed pillows behind my back. She turned to go and twisted her ankle and was about to fall when I pulled her on me by her waist snaking my arm around her waist. She landed on me and looked up in my eyes, I didn't break the eye contact and looked deep in her brown orbs drowning in it. And I noticed tears coming out of her beautiful eyes. I placed her on bed wiping her tears. I didn't let go of her waist. I asked her to share whatever is going on in her head. She told me everything about her past, how her ex husband used to behave and what did he said, how did it felt, that he never gave her really any importance. How he used to ignore her and not even touching her ever. What kind of man was he?? Who fell for some random chick instead of this gem of a person I wondered. I'm already very much into her. She is the best and I kept comforting her and she fell asleep. I placed a small kiss on her head. Tomorrow is her birthday. We all planned a surprise party for her birthday. Next morning no one was home as it was just us and bhabhi took Vamika with her. I was all ready and after that slowly Isha stirred in bed and opened her eyes and got up. She did the light stretching sitting on bed. That's when she looked at me, I smiled, "Good Morning" I said, she smiled and said, "Good Morning Shubman. What time is it??" She asked. "It's 9:45 AM" I smiled. "Whattt??" She almost screamed shocked and get down the bed with jerk and fall down as she tried to walk on her feet. "Oouuucchhh, aaahhhh mammaaaa unhhhh it hurts" she whined. I bent beside her. I forwarded my hand and she took it, I helped her sitting on bed, as she sat there I took her left leg in my lap. She tried to take her leg back but I held it. "Shubman chodiyena, mujhe accha nhi lag rha aap mere per chu rahe hai. It's wrong. Please Jane dijiye na" she said wiggling as I held her leg. I smiled at her cuteness, "kyun??? Jab mujhe cramps aate the or mere per me dard hota tha tab Tum bhi to massage krti thi naa ?? Mere mana karne k baad bhi. So it's my turn now, so sit quietly and let me do my work" I said. "Par shubman aap samjhne ki koshish kriye na, aap husband hai mere, aapko ye sab karne ki koi jaru-" she was saying something when I cut her in between putting my finger on her lips, "shhh, it's okay, I'm doing it anyway, you just lie down, Isha, I'm your husband please let me" I said and she became quiet. I smiled and felt little weird that what's wrong with me and why am I forcing her for something and that's too on her birthday. I know she had a toxic past. An I knew she was still afraid of it. All she was in need of was Love. I looked at her face from the corner of my eyes, as I gave her foot a little massage. She was sitting back with a little pout. I chuckled at her, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to force you but you aren't ready to listen to me. Anyways how are you feeling??" I asked her. She looked at me blushing so much, "I I'm I'm f fi fine" she stuttered. I smiled. "Can I ask you something??" She asked me, I nodded. "Why didn't you wake me up?? I mean it's too late" she asked. I looked at her only to find her looking at me curious, "no one's home, it's just us. And besides I knew you was crying last night and you had pain in your ankle. Birthday girl" I said giving her a big smile. She was shocked as I told her birthday girl. "You know?? I I mean you remember my birthday???" She asked blushing little. "Obviously, I know and I remember. Miss wife, Happy birthday" I said and she smiled bright with a single tear tingling in her eye. "Thank you so much Shubman" she said pulling her leg back, "I'm feeling good now. Thank you" she said. "No need of that bestie" I said. She slowly got up and walked in bathroom. She came out and got ready. "Chalein ???" She asked looking at me. I smile and we get going. We stopped by Vamika's school and met her teachers. Then we go for the checkup. Once all done and we are back home, I started the TV and Isha went into kitchen and brought two mugs of green tea with her after sometime. "Ye lijiye aapki green tea, or khane me kya khayenge?? Ghar pe koi aur to hai nhi so aapko jo khana hai wahi bana deti hu" she said as she too sit there beside me taking her mug in her hands. "Isha, can I ask you for something?? Can you give me please??" I asked her. She looked at me like a child, while she nodded, "ji, boliye kya chahiye aapko?? " she said. "Tum-" "what???" She cut me in between as I was saying, "Tum, Tum keh kar Pukara karo mujhe. AAP kya hota hai?? Mujhe bilkul bhi accha feel nhi hota" I said and she relaxed. "But me Tum kese bulau??" She said innocently. I chuckled, "please?? Hum to best friends hai na?? Or wese bhi jese bhabhi bulati hai bhai ko wese hi Tum bhi mujhe Tum keh kar bulaya karo or else me tumse baat nhi krunga" I said pouting. We stare at eachother and burst out laughing and at last she agreed. "Isha, I was wondering maybe umm would you like to go on a date with me?? I mean only if you are comfortable and want to do this" I said. I looked at her face, she finally had tears in her beautiful eyes. "Shubman, I trust you but don't know why am afraid to fall now. What if I'll get hurt again?? This time I won't be able to bear it. I don't know what I want and my hopes are crazy" she said sobbing. "Isha, why are you thinking about falling and getting hurt?? But what if you fall and I'll catch you and will hold you in my arms close to my heart forever???" I said calming her down. She looked at me in the eyes and I didn't break the eye contact. She really is more beautiful than anything in this world. "Shubman, what will everyone think?? I mean bout we dating ???" She said. I smiled looking at her, "well they won't have any problems as we are already married I guess??" I said and she nods. But I knew she is literally feeling confused. "Don't worry just take your time and tell me whenever you are ready" I said. And then our door bell rang. Isha opened the door and bhabhi, bhai and Ishan came in. "Isha, please aek cup coffee bana de baccha" said Bhai. She nodded and went to the kitchen. But to our surprise she didn't came out in few minutes. Bhai got up and went to kitchen to have a glass of water, "Ishaaaa sambhal ke" he screamed. We got up and went to the kitchen and saw coffee spilled on floor and little on her hand. "What's wrong ?? Dhyan kaha hai tumhara?? Abhi Tum pe gir jati coffee. You scared the shit out of me. Tum theek ho??" Said bhai as he pulled Isha to the side and gave her a hug. "S sorry sorry bhai wo I just lost the balance. Umm don't worry I'll I'll just make another coffee for you. Umm I'm sorry" she said and made another coffee and gave it to three of them when all four of us were debating about something, when bhabhi asked, "right Isha?? Isha, Ishaaaa" bhabhi touched her arm. She came out of her trance, "hmm, umm bhabhi I'm I'm sorry I didn't heard what were you guys saying. I'm sorry, excuse me" she said went up to our room. "What happened to her ?? Why is she behaving lost today??" Asked bhai and bhabhi. "I'll just go and check on her" said Ishan as he got up and started to go towards mine and Isha's room, "Ishan you stay, bhabhi can you go and check on her please??" I said stopping Ishan and requesting bhabhi. "Shub, sab thik hai na?? I mean I've never seen Isha so lost and worried. All okay between you two??" She asked me worried. I nodded and said, "bhabhi trust me, everything is fine between us but she remembered her past last night and she was crying until she started sobbing hysterically. Bhabhi I know she needs time and just so that she can change her thoughts I asked her out today. I asked her to go on date with me. But now she is afraid of getting hurt again" I told and three of them nodded. "Agar koi problem hai to I think we should help her solve it. She has been by our side from the day she came to our home" said Ishan. "I'm so worried for her, pata nhi kya chal rha hoga uss bacchi ke dimag me" said Bhai. Bhabhi said, "guys let's do something I'll go to her first, and when I give you guys sign just join us and we'll make her feel comfortable together" and we all agreed.
