Threads Of Destiny (Rudra & Naina)

•|chapter 5|•

Naina's pov.

I open my eyes slowly to find myself in a dark room. I try to sit up but something digs in my arm.

"Hey, are you awake?" I recognise the voice. It's Shreya. Rudra's sister.

"Yeah." My voice is groggy.

Light fills the room and it looks like she was taking a nap on the couch. An IV drip is attached to my arm.

"What is this?" I ask while trying to remove it.

"Don't remove it. You were unconscious, doctor said it's because your sugar level dropped." She explains and hands me a glass of water.

"Thanks." I sip on the water. My head is strill throbbing.

"How are you feeling now?" She asks cautiously.

"Better. It must have been such a scene." I say feeling embarassed for causing a scene.

"Pftt our family makes much bigger scenes than this on a regular basis." She waves her hand dismissively "Should I call you bhabhi?"

I almost choke on the water, it's then I realise I'm actually married to her brother and it is not just a nightmare. "I guess."

"Aunty and Anushka wanted to stay here but you were already out for more than two hours so mom took them downstairs to make them eat something, aunty was so stressed."

I am sure she was. My mother stress alot.

"What time is it?" I ask trying to look for a clock.

"It's 6:05 AM."

My eyes go wide. I was out for almost four hours. The ceremony was all done by two.

"Have you had something?" I would hate it if she was here all these hours looking after me on an empty stomach.

"Yes I did when Bhai came up and stayed for an hour."

I almost drop the glass "What?"

"Rudra Bhai was here for an hour before dad called him downstairs for some important work."

He was here? In this room? while I was unconscious? I take a deep breath in. He must have carried me because I remember him holding my arm and picking me up.

I carefully remove the IV from my arm and put a cotton to stop the bleeding. "Can you call my mom?"

She nods and leaves the room. I was about to get up when I hear a knock on the door. The gate opens even before I had a chance to say something and rudra walks inside.

He has already changed his clothes and is now wearing a white shirt tucked in his black pants. His sleeves are folded up to his elbows, my eyes shamelessly take in his veiny and muscular hands.

When I look up at his face, I saw his eyes on me so I look away from him.

"Are you shy?" He asks in amusement.

I scoff and look back at him, "Shy my foot. Its just your face doesn't pleases my eyes."

"But yours pleases mine just fine." He flashes me his sinister grin.

I fold my arms against my chest and look away from him partially because I don't like looking at his face and partially because I'm scared of him.

He walks to the foot of the bed and fishes my phone out of his pocket and throws it gently on the bed beside me.

I jerk upright and pick my phone up. "How did you get my phone?"

"Your mother gave it to me."

I narrow my eyes at him "Why?"
