Ruhani's POV

'Baby, you are burning,' I heard Vicky's voice. I tried to open my eyes but I was unable to open it. After few seconds of trying hard I opened my eyes to saw him sitting in front of me.

'Baby, you have fever. Please wake up and have a tablet,'  he said as he made me sat up and adjusted the pillow behind my back and after few second he gave me a crocin and a glass of water and I had my medicine.

Today we were going to leave for Singapore to sign a deal with a company but damn this fever. My whole body is aching and my head is paining so much .

'I will cancel the meeting with Mr. Bhatia, we can go to Singapore when you will get fine,' he said.

'Vicky, you can go to Singapore and attend the meeting.'

'No, I will not go without you and most importantly I will not leave you in such condition.'

'It's just a fever and uncle and aunty are here to take care of me and I will be fine in few days,' I made him understand.

'No, I will not go without you, we can postpone the meeting,' he said stubbornly.

'Vicky, we worked really hard for this deal and if this time Mr. Bhatia cancels the meeting then we will not be able to fix meeting with him for months and I want you to sign the deal as you also know how hard  all office staff and we both have worked for this hard for this,' I said cupping his cheeks in my hands.

'But, I  have to stay without you not for few days but for few weeks as he is a stubborn man and he will sign the deal after three to four meetings and that too, if he is satisfied,' he said angrily .

'But signing the deal with him is a huge profit for the company, Vicky.'

'In few weeks, six months will be over and you will go to your house. I want to spend the last few weeks with you, not in Singapore, alone.

'Okay, I will come with you, lets go. It's just a fever,' I said angrily.

'No, you don't have to come, going there can affect your health more. Baby, don't you think I should change the contract that you will live with me for years?' he grinned.

'Don't you dare Mr. Malhotra. I love you but I love my parents too and living without them for six months is okay and maybe you have forgotten the contract you made, it is clearly written there I  have to stay with you for six months and work with you as your secretary for one year. So, I will leave the house in few weeks but we can meet in office right?' I asked. and suddenly hugged me tightly which surprised me.

'Okay, I will go and I will try to be back as fast I can. Take that tablet which I gave three times a day, after every meal and take rest. If your fever does not go down by tomorrow, visit a doctor with uncle. I will ask uncle and aunty to take care of you and wherever you go, ask uncle to take you. I will call you whenever I am free,' he said as he broke our hug and I nodded in understanding and a small smile escaped my lips looking at how much he cares for me but then a thought occurred in my mind which made me upset.

Where do I stand in my life?

I know he cares for me a lot, but he never said he loves me.

However sometimes by his actions, I am sure that he loves me but I want to know exactly how much I matter in his life.

'Vicky.'

'Yes, baby?'

'When you will be back I want you to talk with dad,' I said but instead of saying anything he kissed me and left to pack his bag and I knew he didn't want to talk now on this topic. But I want him to talk with dad and solve everything  and then maybe I will get the answer of one question and that is-

'Does he love me?"

In an hour he left and till the last moment he was upset as he was going without me, leaving me when I am ill . 

He instructed uncle and aunty everything before he left. 

He and his protectiveness . I don't know what to do with him.

After he left aunty gave me lunch and ordered that if I will not be okay by tomorrow she will take me to doctor as Vicky ordered.

I took the whole day rest and at night as soon as he reached the hotel he called me and again repeated all the things.

I can take care of myself. When he was not here I was taking care of myself pretty well and he thinks I can't take care of myself. I didn't yell at him as I knew he cares and he must be pretty tired due to the journey. After some time he cut the call and I went off to sleep.

In next few days I was fine and I heard from Vicky that first meeting with Mr. Bhatia is done and now after few meetings, hopefully the deal will be signed between two companies.

For the past few days I relaxed the whole day or chatted with Aunty. I spend my  afternoon in coffee shop with Anaya ,Sameer and Shamika. It was so nice to be back in the coffee shop. Vicky used to call me every night and we used to talk until I fell asleep. I miss him a lot, I hope he will be back soon as after few days I will be back to my house.

Today was 22nd June and it was Anaya's birthday. I bought the cake yesterday night only. For the first time my eyes opened at 6 a.m, maybe because it was my best friend's birthday. I got ready and wore a blue gown which reached upto my knee .She had gifted me this last year on my birthday.

I decided to go early to the coffee shop and give her a surprise as she used to always scold me for being late. It was 7 a.m. and uncle dropped me to coffee shop. I asked him to go back home as I will be spending the whole day in shop. He agreed but asked me to call him before leaving so that he can come to pick me up. Usually shop opens at 9 a.m and Anaya is here by 8 a.m. 

I opened the shop and went in the kitchen and hid the cake somewhere she can't see and sat on the bed. I still remember when she told me about placing a bed in kitchen so that staff can take rest. It was really a unique idea and she can only think this.

I was scrolling through my mobile when I heard the kitchen door open.

I turned around to see my worst nightmare .

'Ra...Rakesh .. you ?' I stuttered as he was coming close to me.

'Yes baby, how are you? I missed you so much,' he said with an evil smirk on his face.

'You were in prison right?' I asked as tears were rolling down my cheeks as my past flashed in front of my eyes.

'Yes baby, but I missed you so much that I ran away from prison just to finish what I was not able to finish that day,' he said and pushed me on bed and he was on top of me.

I was crying and kicking him hard but he put a handkerchief in my mouth and held both of my hand. I was continuously kicking him and hoping someone would save me but he didn't budge then he tore my gown but before he could rip my undergarments off I felt someone pulling him off me. I was relieved that someone saved me. I removed the handkerchief from my mouth and looked at the person who saved me and I was shocked as I never expected him to be here.
