Second chance on love !!

Shubman's POV:
                                    Isha was quite nervous about the public appearance and it was quite good than I thought. She had cramps again on the flight and she fell asleep resting her head on my shoulder. Once we reached South Africa, we all got to our hotel and met everyone there in the corridor only. Isha started getting along with all the bhabhis and sisters of the team. It's been five to six days since we came here and we still had 3-4 days to ourselves for practice and the match was after 5 days. Isha had to attend a meeting and she had some important work so she was going to the meeting. She was getting ready and so did I and bhai, bhabhi and Ishan along with Rohit bhai and Ritika bhabhi. We decided to go for meeting with her and then go for a safari park. Isha went for the meeting and we all decided to go there and surprise her picking her up. We all were there and so Ishan suggested me to go in and pick her up giving her the surprise. I agreed and was about to go to the lift when I saw a man, he was all drunk and was hovering over a woman and she was trying her hard to escape. I walked little more closer and saw it was Isha. That bastard was forcefully touching her. She was crying and that bastard covered her mouth so she don't scream. "Look at you, why are you behaving like you don't want me huh?? You was so in love with me, now I'm trying to make love with you and you are behaving like I'm stranger ?? I'm your husband darling. You dare to ruin my business huh?? Now look at you, so helpless, I'll ruin yo-" he was saying this and I punched him in the face and pulled Isha free from his hands. Isha was crying so much. "Hey, go away bastard" he said. "You stay away from my wife. Dare a step close to her and you'll be screwed" I warned hiding Isha behind my back. That man came to punch me when I ducked and punched him again. I gestured Isha to call bhai. She took my phone from my pocket and dialled the call. Soon Ishan and bhai and Rohit bhai were there. That man got so many punches in his face and Ishan informed police and he got arrested. I looked at Isha as she was crying and limping finding difficult to walk as that bastard must have dragged her. I saw her t shirt was torn I removed my jacket and made her wear it. She hugged me tight and was crying so much and soon she fainted. I held her not letting her fall. I picked her up and went to our car. Ishan opened the door and I sit in making her lay in my lap. Bhabhi and Ritika bhabhi were so worried to look at her this state. I tapped on her cheeks, "Isha, Isha, wake up sweetie. Isha, bhai please drive fast. She is not waking up. I'm gonna kill that moth...ker if I'll ever see him again" I looked at Isha and can't take my eyes off of her. I was constantly rubbing her palms and holding her close to me. She was looking so lifeless, the tear stains on her cheeks were clearly visible and there were marks on her neck and scratches on her hands. Bhabhi was rubbing her feets and both Anushka and Ritika bhabhi had worries written all over their face. Bhabhi had tears in her eyes. I didn't realised I was crying until I heard Rohit bhai saying, "Shub, she'll be fine, don't worry, stay strong bachcha" he said. I nod and we reached hotel and I quickly took her to our room. Ishan already had called a doctor and the doctor checked her and told us not to worry she faint because of fear and anxiety. He gave her an injection and told us to take care of her. Bhai and everyone also told me to call them once she gains her senses back. I was sitting there beside her looking at her throat she had fingers marks on her throat. She was looking like a little baby. I held her hand and after sometime she slowly opened her eyes and I said, "Isha, how you feeling??" And she screamed, "no no no, please don't just no" her eyes closed and she was frightened as hell, "Isha, Isha it's me Shubman don't worry darling I won't touch you calm down please" I said with lots of concern for her and she opened her eyes and looked at me and hugged me so tight. "It's okay baby, that jerk motherfucker will never bother you again. I'm right here darling. Why the hell was he doing that??" I asked her trying to calm her down. I hugged her and held her head close to my heart with all the love. "Shub, wo wo he he was m m meet. He s said he'll r ru ruin m me. He tr tried to r ra rape me, Shub I I'm he he'll he'll be ba back?? Please pl please don't don't l le leave m me a al alone p pl please" she cried and said this sobbing on my chest. My heart aches to see her in this state. I immediately calmed her down. I calmed her up and called the police informing them everything bout the incident. "Shub, I need to bath I'm still feeling his touch on my body.... I need to get rid of this" she cried. I can't just imagine how she is feeling right now. Your ex who never ever showed any emotion to you, who never touched you and who left you just for some random chick, suddenly meets you and tries to rape you is just crazy. I can't even explain how she must be feeling or how frightened she was in that moment. I nod and she tried to get up but she can't. I looked at her holding her close to my heart, "you need any help??? I mean umm" I didn't knew what should I say, I don't want her to feel bad after this incident and I don't want her to bother. She looked at me and sigh, "c can you lead me to the bathroom??" She asked, her voice softened almost a whisper. I picked her up and took her to the bathroom and placed her on the bathtub edge. "Take a bath sweetheart, and I'm right here in the room, just call me if you need anything" I said and she tugged on my t shirt, "Shub, pl please don't leave me alone, would you leave me and will never talk to me??? Am I that bad now that my ex came and tried to Rape me??? Will you divorce me because of wha what happened to today??" She sobbed, her hands shaking. I kneeled down and cupped her cheeks. "No, honey No I will never let you go. I promise Isha, even if this world stops turning, I'll always be there right beside you, holding you close, and I'll never divorce you not in the wildest dreams also. I love you so much that I can't see you like this. I can't bear tears in your eyes darling" I said kissing her head softly. Once she calms down I go out of the bathroom and she took the bath. Once she was done she came out of bathroom and I saw all the marks on her legs, neck, hands and shoulders. I rushed to her, "you okay??? I mean that monster really tried to ruin you, look at the scars. I'm sorry for all of this, I shouldn't have let you go alone, I should have gone with you. I'm the one who is responsible for all of this" I said, my heart breaking looking how hard it is for her. "Shub, please it's not your fault and it's not at all because of you. And why are you sorry?? You sorry for holding me through the bad time of my life?? Or you sorry for being nice and caring to me?? Shub it's not you, I've always felt so safe, happy and loved whenever I'm around you, and not only you, with bhai-bhabhi, Ishan, mom-dad and dadu-dadi. I love you all, and I know I'll be fine always if there's you beside me, holding my hand and leading me through the life. Shub I've never thought that I'll ever be able to feel how love truely feels, or how do you feel when you are being loved and taken care of. You made me realise what love actually is, it's without any demands, expectations and desires. It's just pure form of true friendship and trust. And I do feel that special trust with you" she said as she hugged me tight and tears rolled down her cheeks. I wrapped my hands around her and held her tightly as close as I can. After sometime I applied medicine on her scars. She held my hand and wasn't ready to leave it even for a second. We didn't go out for dinner as bhai and Ro bhaiya both sent our dinner to the room only. Once done with the dinner, we had a knock on our door and Ishan came in smiling cheerfully, he handed the ice cream to us and Isha was happy like children. No wonder she is as cute and adorable as Vamika. No wonder Vamika loves her a lot. Once she was talking with Ishan, and let go of my hand, I went out of room, and bhai and bhabhi was standing there looking at her, all smiling and laughing with Ishan. "Is she okay???" Asked bhai worried and bhabhi nodded too. "Yeah, she seems okay, but I know she afraid still. She wasn't ready to let go of my hand to open the door also. When she gained her senses back and I tried to talk to her she was freaking scared, she really went through alot and now I won't let her down at all. Bhai I have one request please, hum log apne parents ko iss bare me kuch bhi nhi batayenge. I don't think she'll feel good if our parents would know this. Please???" I asked them. "Ofc, no girl would be able to stay normal if their parents knows something like this. We won't, don't worry. And Shub, please take good care of her. Do anything but distract her from that incident" said bhabhi. I nodded and bhai gave me a hug. The days went fast and finally it was a match day. Everyone were going to the stadium and I was waiting for Isha to come out ready. "Isha, fast I'll be late" I said, soon a door to our bathroom opened and she came out wearing my jersey and black jeans of her. She was looking so cute. I smile looking at her. She came to me and hugged me and wished me good luck. We get going and once we were at the stadium, I called her and she informed me that they reached there too. Soon all the bhabhis and Isha also came to us and wished us the good luck. "All the best bhai" Isha said with bright smile, bhai hugged her and gave a small kiss on her head. She then turned to me and hugged me tight and wished me luck, "good luck Shub, I really wish you all the success and happiness. May this inning always be memorable for everyone" she said and I placed a soft kiss on her head too. "Thank you sweetheart, I'll try my best" I said as I placed a small kiss on her cheek. She was all red due to blushing. She then turned to Ishan, "good luck bro" she said with giggles and Ishan hugged her tightly and looked at her thanking her and he kissed her hand, and then bhabhi's hand too. "Hey, she my queen" said me and bhai together. "They are my besties" said Ishan smirking. Both Isha and bhabhi gave kisses on either side of Ishan's cheeks together. Ishan now started wiggling his eyebrows at us, "yaayyy, I got better good luck than you both" he started laughing and dancing and everyone laughed. All the ladies than left the room and we went to the ground. I scored a century and Ishan scored a century too, bhai also scored 90 runs unforgettable innings. And we won the match. Once over with all the celebrations and all I took my phone and dialled Isha. "Have you enjoyed darling??" I asked looking up at her, I can see her blushing. "Yeah, it was amazing Shub, congratulations for your century" she said. "All because of you, Lady Luck" I said and she denied, "it's because of your hardwork" she said. "Okay, umm have you had dinner ??" I asked. "No, umm I didn't felt like eating so" she said. "Okay, so we'll have dinner together in the room tonight. I have something for you" I said and she said okay. Once we reached the hotel and she was waiting for me, I go to our room and took a shower and changed myself in comfortable clothes. I come out and looked at her. "Ready??" She nods and I opened the dinner for us, after having a dinner we rested for some minutes and then I asked her, "wanna go for a walk??" She looked at me cheerfully, "yes, please" she said grinning wide. I took her to the walk and we were walking through the street holding eachother's hand and I led her to the ice cream shop. I knew she loves it so much. We had our ice creams and went back to hotel. She was very happy to watch the match in stadium.
