"✨तुझे तकते तकते तकते उमर गुजरू✨"

Avika's POV

After Puja got over Avyansh went to take a call saying it's an urgent one and he hasn't been here since an hour. Roohi didn't stay for long and left to her apartment saying she has an early court session for tomorrow and Maa left with Samarth.

My eyes kept going through the clock hanging on the wall and it was 8 Pm.
A week later we have Diwali approaching and.. my Pihu's birthday.

I miss her so much. If she would have been here, her age must have been around 20 with her 5'6 height may be and Indian skin tone with full lips and voice which will always grab any living souls attention.
A tear fell down which I wiped with my thumb.

*Flashback starts*

"Stop doing it like that. That's not how I saw it in the video" Pihu said in high pitch voice coming towards me with a whisk in her hand

"Here take this" I passed a tool to stand for her to reach the kitchen counter

Folding her sleeves she kept her little feets on the tool and stood keeping a hand on my shoulder for the support.

"You keep doing it wrong. Againnn and againnnn" she glared at me like our mom does.

She gasped in shock when the bowl fell from her tiny hands and broke into pieces on the floor with the batter spreading on the floor

"I am sorryy" she said in her cute baby voice which would melt anyone's heart and came towards me and hugged my waist.

I suppressed my giggle and held her finger leaving the kitchen so that no glass piece hurts her feet.

"It's ohk we will make again tomorrow" I assured her getting inside the duvet beside her.

"Didi" she cooed beside my arms

"Yess" I turned towards her pecking on her nose

"Stay. With me" her last word was a whisper before she felt asleep keeping her head on the crook of my neck.
A smile appeared on my face while I snuggled closer and sleep engulfed me

*Flashback ends*

I couldn't stop the tears brimming in my eyes and sat on the floor of my room.
My lungs felt blocked and I was not able to breathe. I didn't even felt like breathing anymore. Seems like I didn't even felt like living anymore.

Everything around me felt blurred and I leaned on the wall.
This feeling..... feeling of emptiness and being helpless have always made my skin crawl with the need of burning the whole world. An eye for an eye. Blood for the blood. Murder for the murder.
Raghav is dead but.. he is alive. My dad. And I have all the wishes of slitting his throat with my own hand while his eyes are bulging out and heart pumping faster with the need of being saved and he begs for mercy but all he gets is an utter sharp pain which would burn his soul and his existence.
And everything went black...while darkness engulfed me..

Avyansh's POV

I came back to the apartment after making a call with the stylist for the finalisation of Avika's lehenga. Even though Maa said I shouldn't see bride's dress before the marriage but I want her to wear it chosen by me.

Looking around the living room and finding it empty I moved inside the bedroom to check where's Avika.
Unlocking the door I stepped inside which was in dark with all the lights closed but the moon light appearing inside the room was bright enough for me to see my Purple lying on the floor.

I felt panic and my heart beats getting faster with each step I took towards her. Her eyes were closed and cheeks with dried tears.
What the hell happened??

I patted on her cheek "Purple"... Helding her in bridal style I layed her on the bed
"Avika.. baby " I kept calling her and checked her body temperature which was normal.
Everything was so normal before I left and now seeing her lying like this, I feel ache inside me.

"Ansh" my head snapped towards her hearing a mere whisper and her eyes were still closed.

"Here. Drink water first" I made her drink water and sit on the bed with the support of headboard.

"Will you tell me what happened? Are you not feeling well? Ofcourse you aren't and why didn't you tell me?? Is it because you think I am not capable of taking care of you? Or you-

"Shhhhh. " She kept her index finger on my lips before letting me complete my sentence.

"Let me breathe first." She sighed and held her head with both the hands and rubbed with her face with the palm.

"It's just a headache actually" she said

"Just a headache and you were lying on the floor not responding me for more then 10 minutes??" I asked controlling the anger which was getting on my nerves.

"Pihu's birthday is on next week" she said in a low voice looking towards the window.
Fuckkk.
I can't say her that I understand her emotions but I am sure that I will kill both of them with my own hands even if it meant slitting my own dad's throat. No one gets to live after taking an innocent child's life.

I sat beside her gently rubbing her palm with mine untill our eyes locked and her eyes were red. How much did she cry??
A single tear dropping from her would make my heart break.

Removing my t-shirt, I slipped inside the duvet beside her and pulled her closer keeping her head on my arms and holding her from the waist.

"You won't ask me anything else?" She asked looking up at my face

"Agar tumhe batana hota toh tum khud batah deti. Lekin me intezar karskta hu"
(If you wanted to you would have said yourself but it's ohk I can wait)
I said and kissed on her head engulfing my breath with her smell which could only keep me sane.

"Good night husband" she said keeping her hand on my chest and closing her eyes.

A smile formed on my face. Indeed a lucky husband.

"Good night wife"

Taking my phone from the side I sent a short text to sushant and keeping the phone aside, sleep engulfed me.
