You Are Mine

**Tani's Pov**

I feel blessed to have a family like this. Everyone is so understanding, attentive, and caring. Living with such loving people is like a dream come true. I never thought I'd experience this kind of love and acceptance, especially after the pain of my past. The scars of my childhood, the feeling of being unloved and unwanted, still linger. But being with my husband and his family has slowly started to heal those wounds. His comforting touch, gently rubbing my back, sends shivers down my spine. It's as if he's soothing the deep-seated fears and doubts that have haunted me for so long. He doesn't leave my side for a second, sensing my every tremble. His silent support gives me strength, and when he asks me to look into his eyes, saying 'I am always with you,' I feel a deep sense of reassurance. It's as if God himself is reassuring me through his loving gaze, telling me that I'm enough, that I'm worthy of love. This feeling is indescribable, a mix of emotions that fills my heart to the brim. I feel seen, heard, and loved. Oh, God, this feeling is pure bliss! For the first time in my life, I feel like I belong, like I'm home. The darkness of my past is slowly fading away, replaced by the warmth and light of my present. I'm finally learning to trust, to love, and to be loved in return."

The chain of my thoughts shatters into a million pieces when I hear his dominating voice, like a stormy wave crashing against the fragile shores of my mind. 'I'm asking politely, Armaan,' he says, his tone laced with a hint of warning, a subtle tremble of anger that sends shivers down my spine. 'If you don't tell me what's on your mind this time, I will punish you.' The words hang in the air like a guillotine, threatening to sever the delicate thread of trust between us. His anger is palpable, a living, breathing entity that pulses with a life of its own, simmering just below the surface like a volcano waiting to erupt. But it's not just his words that unsettle me - one piercing glare from him is enough to make my heart race like a wild animal trapped in a cage, desperate to escape. 'So, you want punishment?' he asks, his voice dripping with a mix of frustration, concern, and a hint of desperation, like a man clinging to the edge of a cliff, fearing the loss of the one he loves. I hesitate, unsure of how to reveal my deepest fears, like a child trembling in the dark, afraid to confront the monsters that lurk within. It's not that I don't want to tell him everything; it's just that I'm terrified of being rejected, of being hated for who I truly am - a fragile, broken soul, stitched together with threads of hope and fear. The thought of losing him, of losing this fragile connection we share, is too much to bear, like a weight crushing my chest, making it hard to breathe."

"Ah, so you didn't want to speak to me?" he says, his voice dripping with anger and disappointment, making my heart sink. "Very well, I'll punish you as you wish." His words send a shiver down my spine as he calls out to someone in a loud, thunderous voice, making me jump in fear. "Mukhtar! Someone was standing at the gate. I have seen him; he's the head of security here." Mukhtar steps forward, trembling slightly, and addresses him with a nervous "Yes, sir..." I can sense his fear, his reluctance to be involved in this confrontation.

Mukhtar is ordered to go and free them, and then they're told to come to the garden until he arrives. The man scurries off, clearly intimidated, leaving me feeling anxious and scared. But what catches my attention is the change in Mukhtar's expression - a flicker of surprise, a hint of curiosity. Who is that someone, and why is he scared? I wonder, my mind racing with questions.

But then, Mukhtar's gaze turns to me, and his eyes hold sympathy for me. I feel a lump form in my throat as I sense his concern. "But, bhai, you can't do this," Adi suddenly says, his voice firm but worried. "Yes, Armaan, hum tujhe ye nahi karne denge," Yuraj bhai adds, his tone authoritative. "How can you even think this?" Rohit bhai asks, his voice laced with disgust.

The room erupts into chaos, with everyone speaking at once. "Shut off, everyone!" He shouted thunders, his voice commanding silence. "Go to the hospital every one and I don't want any excuses from anyone as today is Karan's surgery. I will not go anywhere, adi said immediately after him he says, his jaw set in determination.
Ok as your wish but don't you dare to follow me or disturb me or you will not able to face consequences....
