SAYESHA'S POV -

I open my eyes and finds some weight around my stomach. And then I lowered my gaze and found his hands wrapping me. My back was facing him and I was feeling soo many things at the moment while reminding our last night.

I slowly turned around trying not to wake him up, but to my bad luck, he was awake. And as soon as my eyes met his, I was really feeling shy at the moment.

“ Good morning princess!" He said in his morning voice and pecked my forhead.

“ Good morning!" I whispered.

Although I was not in a mood to get up. I usually slept alone while hugging my pillow, but right now, sleeping in his arms was giving me another level of comfort.

But, I have to wake up. I don't have a habit of getting up late from my bed. So I cover myself with the sheet and get up from the bed.

“ Stay here please!" He said while yawning.

“ Rudra.. I have to get fresh. Don't act like a small baby." I said while giggling at his cute antics and then went towards the bathroom.

Then I done my morning business and when I came in the room, I saw he has already bring the breakfast.

And we ate our breakfast together while talking about some random things.

Then again we sat at the couch. I was sitting on his lap and my back was facing him. His chin was resting on my shoulders.

“ Sayesha." He called out my name and I hummed in response.

“ May I ask you something." He asked and I nodded.

“ What's that mark on your back ?" He asked and I remembered.

Tears started forming while remembering that day.

“ A gift given by my grandmother!" And by listening to it. He made me turn around so I was looking directly into his eyes.

“ Rudra, Papa was a doctor and Mamma was nurse in a local hospital. And there they met each other and they married each other.

But my dadi was not ready for it. She hates my mother. And when she gets to know that Mamma was pregnant with me, she tries several times to kill me in her womb only. But some people said that who is protected by the god himself, no one can even touch them and luckily I survived. But again, she continued to hate me.

When I was 5, one day I was playing with my doll house, and by mistake the doll went towards my dadi's feets and I don't know what made her anger, she broke down all my toys and when I protest, she.. she put that hot iron rod which used to warm water, on my back.. " and by just saying that, heavy lump formed in my throat and tears started flowing from my eyes.

He hugg me tightly.
“ Shhh... Its okay. I am here." He tried to calm me but no, today I want to tell him everything.

“ From that day, mamma left her job and stay at home to protect me always but when Papa passed away, she have to continue her job but this time she opted for teaching so that she can give the home equal time.

At that day, when Papa gets to know about it, I saw tears in his eyes.

And you know what Rudra, at that day Papa told me one thing. He strictly warned me to not play with dolls forever, instead he asked me to stay strong and fight for myself. He said that instead of playing with these dolls which can make you just weak, play with that weapons which can help you to survive. And this sentence of him echoed in my ears from that day.
