From now Till eternity

45.

After changing into simple clothes, Aaruhi lay down on the bed but she is feeling sleepy. She stares into space thinking about everything that has happened to her in the last two days.

Slowly her eyes filled with tears as she realized how she could fight for others if she couldn't fight herself and save herself from evil people. How incompetent she is.

She wipes the tear as it slips from the corner and turns on her side, closing her eyes, not wanting to think about anything. But tears keep rolling down from her close eyes noiselessly.

“I am here, Dad. Just leave that bastard for me. I will take care of him," Abhi said looking at his father then looking at his grandfather for approval.

Ryan and Abhi are sitting with their fathers and grandfather in Ruhaan's office to decide the fate of Samrat, for the unforgivable crime he had committed.

Jaiveer looks at his grandson who is burning in anger for revenge.

“Abhi, leave him for me. I suggest you not be involved in this. You are participating in the election, it may harm your image, " Arjun suggested.

"But Papa-”

“Trust me, he will not be able to see the open sky for a lifetime. No one can get away after hurting my children. He will rot in jail, I will make sure of it. I don't want you to get your hands dirty for that pest," Hearing Arjun everyone agreed. He is a top lawyer who knows how the law works. And he is an expert in turning the case in his favor. Also he doesn't want his children to be involved in unlawful activities.

He knows how to play fair yet dirty. And he won't get easy on anyone who hurt his princess. He makes sure he regrets every single minute of his life.

“I am with Arjun Bhai. He is right," Ruhaan second him.

Jaiveer gives a nod to Arjun.

“Abhi, let Arjun do his work. He will deal with him and law," Abhimanyu silent for a moment then nodded reluctantly.

All the while Ryan is looking a little lost and tense. He is thinking about Aaruhi and is worried for her.

Ruhaan notice his son's expression and ask,
“Ryan, is everything alright?"

He look at his father and give a quick smile,
"Yes Dad…”

"Bhai, you should go and rest. Last few days were really stressful for you,” Abhimanyu told him, knowing he must be thinking about Aaruhi.

“Abhi is right, beta. Go rest for a while. Abhi, you also go, " Arjun said.

The young men left the room leaving the elders who got busy discussing politics and business.

As Ryan slowly opened the door of his room, he saw his wife sleeping on the bed. Closing the door, he walked towards her and saw her eyes close.

His heart clenched seeing her eyelashes wet with tears. With his thumb, he gently wiped her lashes and kissed her head.

Suddenly, her eyes flew open feeling his lips on her head. She stared at him, blinking her eyes.

“ I disturb you..." He slowly said.

She sat up on the bed saying,
“No, I was just lying,…” 

“Did you eat something?" He asked her, sitting on the bed in front of her.

Nodding her head, she slowly slid to him and placed her head on his lap. Ryan smiles at her and places his hand on her hair.

She closed her eyes when he started running his fingers through her hair and gently massaging her head.
