Chapter 17:

"Richa" I was woken up. After crying I must have slept. I took a deep breath and opened my eyes; I was in a hospital. White walls reminded of my worst and best times. How I encountered the death of my husband and how I gave birth to Joy. Immediately I felt shuffling beside me, it was Rahul.

"Rahul" My voice groggy while I looked up into those dark orbs and emotions took hold of me. I sniffed and tears started flowing one by one followed by a river of it. He squished my face in between my palms and our foreheads met.

"I am so sorry Richa, so sorry" he shut his eyes close tightly and tears pooled out. He was vulnerable and so was I. I hugged him and he almost crushed me to him. I felt so safe, warm and loved. This was what I wanted, warmth.

"Baby it's my entire fault, so sorry" we shared the emotions and that's what it took us to realise that our love only doubled. His protectiveness made me feel safe and that's exactly what I craved right now. He kissed my forehead a couple of times and kept telling me how sorry he was and how he was going to murder that guy.

"Rahul"

"Yes baby"

"Please hold me" I buried my face into his chest "Hold me tightly" I cried. His hold on me tightened for the rest of the time. He held me for until as long as I wanted him to.

The sun had set by now and by now Rahul was squished in my bed. He held me and caressed my back for comfort. Joy was at home with Ma and Rahul's mother. In his embrace, it felt safe and warm that I didn't want to come out of it and so I didn't. The rest of the night I was lost in nightmares.

*****************************************************************************

A few weeks had passed by and to say I was depressed was an understatement. I felt so disgusted with all the parts of me where I had been touched that I just couldn't get the image out of my brain. Rahul had been continuously trying to support but he didn't speak to me. I knew he must be disgusted with me too and that's exactly why I always found ways to stay away from him.

So like every day, here I was, sitting on my couch, looking into nothing. I wanted Rohan to hold me, to kiss me and I wanted everything to go back to normal. But we do not always get what we want and it was difficult for me to even think about anything else, let alone take care of my child. My eyes wandered to the letters he had written to me. I had failed Rohan to keep myself safe; I had failed my son too. Sighing, I made my way to my room and sat on the bed. My eyes flickered to the box I had received after Rohan was... I walked upto the closet and pulled the box down. It had some other things which weren't of any importance to me. All his memories were boxed into an album I made myself. Us meeting, being together and marriage; other important stuff too. Then the last time he was here and the news after that. Then Joy's birth and some incidents with Rahul and how he reminded of Rohan. It was boxed up. I grabbed the bundle of the letters and pulled open the next letter.

My dear love,

How's my baby girl doing? I know I am not around but just a reminder that I will always watch over you. I love you with all my heart, till death do us part. Yeah sounds cliché, but it is true.

There is something I want to share with you, it is necessary that you read this carefully and keep it to yourself. Under any circumstances, my love, do not let anyone read this letter. Burn it if you have to, but it is confidential information.

The people we're fighting against aren't regular war people; they are a gang, a big dangerous gang. I am posted outside, thus you are safe but just so you know and they can harm you. They are drug dealers and Mafia men who can literally drag your life on hell. This guy Nico, he is a the biggest crime developer in southern Asia, of course we're trying to get our hands on his intentions without him knowing but that's just difficult and most definitely will take time. I know I won't be around to protect you but I want you to be careful, even Ma. I have already informed Avinash and Isha about the ordeal. Rahul is my fellow agent so when he isn't around here, I am sure he'll be there. Even If I am not around to protect you, he will be. So trust him and put up with any issues my love.

Lastly, I know I couldn't keep the promise of being there for you but let me tell you, I will be watching over you. I love you Richa, now and forever.

Love, Rohan

P.s. stay strong

That was the last of letters he had written. Tears were a string of material that just flowed down my cheeks. I should've known, trusted Rohan on this. It wouldn't have happened otherwise. I miss him so much; I want him to hug me and kiss my forehead and tell me he'll kill that bastard who put his hand on me. I put the letters back into the box and pushed below my bed before curling into a ball on the bed.

"I miss you Rohan. Please hug me" I whispered into air. That's when I felt two strong arms wrap around me. It felt safe and warm just like Rohan. I snuggled deeper into those warm arms and my eyes snapped closed. I breathed in his scent and his touch created a warm fuzzy feeling inside me; it felt right.

"Rohan"

"Yes sweetheart" I blinked a couple of times to understand. Was he really here? was it all a dream? What's going on? I touched his arms and instantly pulled back.

"Everything's going to be fine, love" he kissed my head "I am here now" he nuzzled my neck. I relaxed on his touch. It felt well, it felt home. My eyes dropped and fluttered close. Sleep took over in just a second.

When I opened my eyes it was morning. The past couple of days were bad. The nightmares were gone from bad to worse. I was scared to sleep at nights. I went to the wash-room to do my business and that's when my room door was pushed open. When I came out, I found Rahul sitting on my bed waiting patiently. I didn't speak just stared into his eyes and then looked onto the floor.

"He's arrested" he breathed. I looked at him only to find him looking at me, staring intensely but looking for some reaction.
