Khanak's POV

Sometimes life also played such a game with us that we turned out nothing more than a joke, my life had also done the same with me.

I thought I had moved on in life, I was no longer the same weakling I was nine years ago but I was still at the same place where I was nine years back. The only difference was that in these nine years I had learned to show myself strong which I will do.

"If you don't want this then you don't have to go meet him. We'll find some other way to keep him away from you." my eyes lifted slowly fisting my hands on my lap to stop them shaking.

"This has to be done" This was what I really want, I couldn't run away from him, I could only stop him.

"Khanak" she sighed out heavily before shaking her head at me "Give me a call if you need me there"

A small smile appeared on my face seeing her worry and concern for me.

She was always the one who stood shoulder to shoulder with me without any expectation.

"And don't worry about Pragati, I am with her and so is the family." She patted my head before moving out while I just stared her retreating back.

I needed to check pagati before leaving.

I entered into the room to see Pragati sitting near the window with Ritika beside her, looking like a broken doll.

Ritika gave me a nod getting up and left.

"Pragati" She turned her head towards me slowly to peer at me with her blank eyes but I could read the pain hidden behind them.

I strolled to her sitting beside her where Ritika was a few second back as I placed my hand on her forehead to check her temperature which seemed normal "You don't have a fever anymore"

We heard heart wrenching scream which followed a series before I could escort Shivansh out to talk.

When we rushed inside to find see her writhing on the bed, drenched in sweat while shouting one thing "LEAVE ME, DON'T TOUCH ME"

I felt like someone had stabbed my heart, we somehow calmed her down but she ended up getting fever and we shifted to Ahuja mansion few hours back.

She jolted up getting frightened while her terrified eyes darted towards the door as she heard a loud sound while her trembling hands reached to my arm to clench it tightly.

"Shhhh..... you are safe here" I held her in my arms taking her to the bed while she was clinging me to like a sacred kid making my heart crumbled brutally.

I felt a strong urge inside me to kill her asshole husband after seeing the fear and pain on her face.

I had worked hard for the last two months to make her feel secure but that disgusting piece of shit man brought her back to the square. She went back to same Pragati I first saw on Hospital bed, scared and broken.

Her grip tightened on my arm when I tried to pull it to make her lay on the bed while her teary eyes were pleading me not to leave her. I sat beside her placing her head in my lap before stroking her hair softly to give her assurance which she needed the most right now.

"I am sorry" I mumbled making her raise her face up before snuggling more into me "d...don't l.....leave m....me Di"

Tears welled up in my eyes hearing her desperate plea "I will never leave you alone."
