Ch 14

Author's pov:-

Rajveer's and family's heart got shattered when they got to know that Abhira lost her memory and became 7 year old child minded girl. Its hard to rajveer to accept the truth but he is happy that his wife, his janeman is safe and alive .

But something came in Rajveer's mind

" wait ? When I was taking her to hospital, the injury on abhira's head was minor injury and doctor said to them that Abhira had a major injury and lost her memory due to it ", he said to himself

Rajveer turned to doctor, his expression cold and serious"doctor but abhira got shot in her chest and the injury on her head was not a major one, and now you are saying that she lost her memory? How can it be happen?", rajveer questioned doctor narrowing his eyes

Sweat started stream on his forehead and doctor looked nervous and avoided rajveer's gaze

"Tell me , how can it be happen?", rajveer asked, loudly making doctor to stagger back

"Sir , sir---", doctor stammered, his voice trembling and barely a whisper

Just then suddenly , Aryan felt dizzy and was about to collapse but rajveer and rudransh catches him and makes him to sit in a chair. Preeta rushes to Aryan side and Aliya went to bring water bottle for Aryan.

"Papa, be careful. I know it's painful but abhira is alive and she is safe. I don't care that she is child minded now and for your kind information your favourite daughter in law was also a child minded before this attack. The difference is that then doctor didn't approved that she is mad but now doctor approved that she is mad . Im ok with it Papa, abhira is still my wife and I will handle her", rajveer said to Aryan, by leaning down beside him.

Upon hearing rajveer's words preeta and Aryan felt a very happy that rajveer got changed and started to accept abhira as his wife. And rudransh was celebrating this happy movement in his mind but at the same time he is sad as abhira lost her memory.

But the doctor was not able to control his laugh after hearing rajveer's words and he laughed so loudly that the nurse who was going beside him by taking the medicines,was got scared and threwed all the medicines from her hand bymistakely in fear.

And after that that doctor got scared and stopped his laugh. Aryan got angry and stood up from his chair and Said " my daughter in law lost her memory and became a 7 years old minded girl and you are laughing at her condition? Seriously? How dare you hah? Go- go from here immediately or else I will kill you ", shouted Aryan loudly, his eyes red and his loud tone echoing throughout the hospital and Aryan was about to slap that doctor but rajveer and preeta stopped him with a great difficulty and doctor ran away from there.

And Aliya came with water bottle and gave it to Aryan. Just then a loud broken glass sound and abhira's screams heard to them from abhira room. Then rajveer immediately ran towards abhira's room .

Rajveer rushed through the hospital corridors, his heart pounding with urgency. The echo of Abhira's terrified screams guided him like a beacon, pulling him toward her room. He pushed the door open to find her thrashing against the doctors, her face wet with tears, her voice hoarse from crying.

"Stay away! Stay away!" Abhira screamed, her eyes wide with fear.

Rajveer took a deep breath, his heart aching at the sight of her distress. He stepped forward slowly, his hands raised in a gesture of peace. "Abhira, it's okay. You're safe. I'm here to help you . Don't worry jaan, im here no-one are going to hurt you ."

Abhira's eyes darted to him, unrecognizing and filled with terror. She continued to struggle, her cries piercing the air.

"Noooo , no...no.. .... du....dur raho ", abhira stammered, her voice barely audible and hugging her knees to her chest and trying to hide.

"Mumma..... Mere mumma,..... Wh...where...my mumma where", Abhira murmured, her voice trembling due to her sobs , her heart beat was increasing

Preeta couldn't control her tears upon seeing her daughter in law in that state,Preeta took a step forward, but Aryan gently stopped her with a hand on her arm.

"Preeta no , don't go ", Aryan whispered but firm

Preeta shook her head "how can I leave her alone in this situation Aryan---",

"Abhira is scared now. Look at her ", Aryan said and pointed towards abhira "she is shaking with fear. She lost her memory , she doesn't remember us . Now she is scared of people, let doctors and rajveer handle her", Aryan assured preeta placing his arm around her shoulder

Preeta reluctantly stepped back, her eyes filled with worry

"Come on dad! are you still trusting rajveer ? , he is responsible for abhira's current state and you are telling that rajveer will handle Abhira bhabhi ", rudransh argued

Upon hearing rudransh words, gaurav fumed in anger "stop it rudransh!", Gaurav scolded rudransh "don't you dare to speak an another word against rajveer. I know that he hurted Abhira, but he hurted her due to some misunderstandings . But now rajveer got to know that Abhira is innocent and he is trying to rectify his mistakes. I saw regret in Rajveer's eyes. Did you ever saw rajveer crying for others? He didn't cried even a single day in his life but yesterday I saw rajveer crying for abhira , after her operation he stayed all the day night with her , clutching her hand, till today. He didn't even rested for a second after that incident", Gaurav said his face laced with disappointment with rajveer's family

"Yes rudransh bhaiya, rajveer bhaiya changed alot", Aliya support rajveer

The Rajvanshi's stood silently outside of abhira's room

Meanwhile in Abhira's hospital room :-

Abhira's cries filled the hospital room as she curled into a corner of the bed, her knees hugged tightly to her chest. Her wide, tear-filled eyes darted nervously between the unfamiliar faces of the doctors and rajveer. Rajveer stood a few steps away,, clenched his fists to steady himself. He felt a deep pang of guilt seeing her in this state, so childlike and vulnerable.

Rajveer took a deep breath, trying to steady his own nerves. He couldn't break down now. He had to be her anchor. Slowly, he crouched to her level, his voice soft as a lullaby.

"Abhira," he called gently, "it's okay. I'm here."

"Tum log kaun ho .... Mein kaha hum ", Abhira asked innocently, still hugging her knees to her chest

(Who are you? Where am I ?)

"You are in hospital abhira ", rajveer said , his voice too soft and gentle, not to scare Abhira

"Wh....why ", Abhira stammered

"Because you were injured. Doctor's are not hurting you, they are here to help you ,bachaa ", rajveer Said

But abhira isn't convinced

Rajveer moved closer and hugged her, his voice soft and soothing. "Shhh, Abhira. I'm here now. No one will hurt you, I promise. I will never let anything happen to you ".

Her movements slowed, her sobs quieter as she focused on his calm, kind face. Rajveer sat down beside her, maintaining a comforting distance.

"I want my mumma.... Call my mumma", abhira cried

Rajveer felt his throat tighten. How could he tell her the truth? How could he shatter her fragile world further? He took a deep breath, forcing a smile. "Your mama... she had to go to a special place. She's a lawyer, right? She went there to fight for something very important case "

Abhira eyes widened with innocense as she remember that her mother is a lawyer "haa yes my mumma is a laawyerrr", Abhira said

Abhira's tears fell harder. "But why did she leave me? Why didn't she take me with her?"

Rajveer swallowed the lump in his throat and forced a gentle smile. "She didn't take you because she wanted you to stay with me. She sent me to take care of you, to protect you. She said it's my most important job, and if I don't do it, she'll be very upset."

Abhira blinked at him, her innocent gaze searching his face for truth. "She did?"

"She did," he confirmed, nodding solemnly. "And she also told me to tell you something very important."

"She said if you don't listen to me and let the doctors help you, she won't eat her food," Rajveer said, leaning in conspiratorially as though sharing a secret.

Abhira gasped. "Mumma won't eat? But she needs to eat to be strong!"

"Exactly, bacha" Rajveer said, smiling gently. "So you should listen to me , okay?"

Abhira hesitated, still clutching her knees. "But... but I don't know you?"abhira questioned rajveer

Rajveer smiled gently, though his heart broke a little at her question. "I'm Rajveer. I'm your husband and you are my wife Abhira rajveer singh rajvanshi ."

He gently squeezed abhira's hand , ". I know you can't understand what is happening here but Abhira trust me , im your husband and they are our family ", rajveer said gently and pointed towards rudransh, Aryan,dadaji preeta and Aliya who were standing with tears at the entrance of the room.

"What is the meaning of husband ? How did you became my husbo(husband)?", abhira asked to rajveer, with her innocent and wide eyes with confusion, her voice sweet.

"It means...I'm someone who loves you very much and I will bring whatever you want , like candies, chocolate,ice cream, jewellery whatever you want and is always here to protect you from demons. Like a best friend, but even more special."

"But I still don't understand, Mr husbo", abhira innocently asked in her child like voice , scratching her head

"Ok bacha i will explain. When a man and women get married they became husband and wife . And in the same way we both got married and I'm became your husband and you became my wife . Through marriage you and me became wife and husband ", rajveer said to abhira, gently squeezing her hand.

"What is marriage?", abhira asked innocently to Rajveer.

"Marriage means a man and women promise eachother to love and forgive , to trust eachother in every situation, to care eachother, to love eachother , to grow old eachother and especially to respect eachother till there last breath. And a wife and husband will be eachother's true friends ", rajveer said to abhira , his eyes filled with love for abhira .

Preeta and Aryan were proud after listening rajveer's words and they believed that he has changed. And they went near rajveer and abhira, include rudransh and Aliya.

"Yes, absolutely right, Rajveer", preeta whispered to herself tears streaming down from her eyes

"But how can I trousty (trust) you , that you are my husbo(husband)?", Abhira said and after few seconds something crosses her mind "ok, i will ask you some questions, if you answer all of them, then I will believe that you are my family", Abhira Said firmly, narrowing her eyes dramatically making rajveer to get scared a little bit

Rajveer nooded

After few minutes, Abhira decided that what questions she'll ask to rajveer.

"Ok , now tell me what is my favourite colour?", she asked innocently

Rajveer started to think and he remembered his and abhira's conversation on their first night. "Yeah I remembered, you favourite colour is purple, pink ", rajveer said loudly in excitement

And it was a correct answer and Abhira got shocked, a bit Happy but her questions are not finished

"Then tell me what my dream?", Abhira asked, mischievous smirk on her face

"Your dream is to become a lawyer like you mother", rajveer answered quickly

Slowly Abhira started to trust rajveer and she forced herself to ask another question

"What is my favourite food among them, momos or chicken or icecream?", Abhira asked smartly, but hopping that rajveer will answer her questions, because deep down somewhere in her heart she wants rajveer to become her family member

"All of them ", rajveer answered loudly , stood up abruptly in happiness that he answered all of her questions

"Haa it's correct", abhira said
But she is bit confused about what happened with her but somewhere in corner of her heart , he is feeling safe with rajveer and his family

"Yeeeeee", rajveer shouted and jumping in happiness, like a child

"Humm, ok then , Its confirmed that you are my family", Abhira declared, her face lightening up though she doesn't want to show it

"Now will you believe that your mother sent me to you ?", rajveer Said gently but firm

Abhira hesitated, then nodded slowly. "Okay...but only because Mamma said so."

"But Mr. husbo, i don't want to be your wify(wife) . Iam still a baby girl. Let's be frwends (friends) "abhira said , crossing her arms and trying her best to keep her face serious

Rajveer smiled "ok my baby girl . Let's be friends , the best friends", rajveer said , pating her head gently

"Ok then , from now on , we are besties and I will listen to you like mumma said ", abhira said to rajveer

Rajveer smiled, his heart swelling with relief. "Good girl. Now, can I tell you a secret?"

She leaned closer, her curiosity piqued. "What secret?"

Rajveer leaned in conspiratorially, lowering his voice. "These doctors are like your mamma's helpers. They're here to make you strong and healthy so she doesn't worry about you."

Abhira glanced at the doctors nervously. "But they have needles. I don't like injections!"she declared, crossing her arms stubbornly.

Rajveer crouched beside her, adopting a playful tone. "Okay, okay, fine! I'll tell them not to give you the injection," he said, turning to the nurse with a wink that Abhira couldn't see. "No injections for Princess Abhira!"

The nurse paused, confused, but Rajveer subtly signaled her to wait. He turned back to Abhira with an excited grin. "Now, how about I tell you a story? A really fun one!"

Abhira's curiosity overpowered her fear, and she tilted her head. "A story? What kind of story?"

"A story about a brave princess and her best friend knight," Rajveer said, sitting cross-legged on the bed. "Once upon a time, in a magical kingdom, there was a beautiful princess named Abhira. She loved purple flowers and chocolate cakes. But one day, the princess fell into a deep sleep, and only a magical potion could wake her up."

Abhira leaned closer, her eyes wide with wonder. "What happened next?"

Rajveer grinned, making exaggerated gestures. "The princess's best friend knight-Sir Rajveer-found the potion. But there was a tricky part! The potion had to be given with a tiny prick, like a little ant bite."

Abhira wrinkled her nose. "Ant bite? That sounds scary!"

"Oh, but the princess was so brave she didn't even feel it!" Rajveer said with a laugh.
As Abhira giggled, immersed in the tale, Rajveer subtly signaled the nurse. She swiftly and gently administered the injection, and Abhira didn't notice a thing, as she was captivated by Rajveer's animated storytelling.

"And then," Rajveer continued, "the princess woke up and became the strongest, happiest princess in the whole kingdom!"

Abhira clapped her hands, her laughter filling the room. "The princess was so brave!"

Rajveer beamed, brushing her hair gently. "Just like you, my little princess."

Before Abhira could reply, the door opened, and Rajveer's family entered. His sister, Aliya, walked in with a bright smile, followed by his brother, Rudransh, who looked amused at the scene.

Abhira's smile faded instantly. Her eyes darted to the new faces, and she clutched Rajveer's arm tightly, hiding behind him. "Who are they?!" she whispered, trembling. "Are they bad people? Are they here to hurt me?" abhira asked to rajveer in confusion after seeing preeta, Aryan, rudransh and Aliya, but unknowingly she clung to rajveer in fear and hiding behind him

" She is Preeta Singh Rajvanshi my mom , your mom too and he is our dad ,and beside dad , he is rudransh my brother and she is Aliya my sister and they are our family", rajveer said excitedly to Abhira., points towards them

"Ooo, they are our family", Abhira exclaimed in confusion

Seeing her happiness rajveer got up and placed his hands on her cheeks and Said "haa , they are our family '.

Preeta couldn't control herself now "how are you my child? Im your preeta ma ", Preeta gently introduced herself to Abhira, her voice like a Lullaby

"And I'm your Aryan papa , I will buy so many toys and icecreams for you and I will help you to become a big lawyer, because I'm also a lawyer ", Aryan said trying to friendship with abhira

"Really ", Abhira asked excitedly, still hiding behind rajveer

"Yes bachaa ", Aryan Said

Abhira smiled

But rajveer doesn't want them to get close with Abhira

"This is Aliya, my sister. She's super nice and loves making new friends." rajveer said , pointing towards Aliya

Aliya crouched down, waving gently. "Hi, Abhira. It's so nice to meet you! I'm Rajveer's younger sister."

Abhira peeked out from behind Rajveer cautiously but didn't say anything.

"And this," Rajveer said, motioning to Rudransh, "is my brother, Rudransh. He's the funny one in the family. He loves making people laugh and he is a singer too , but bathroom one."

Rudransh grinned, kneeling down beside Aliya. "Hi bhabhi , will you sing with me ?"

Abhira shook her head, still hiding behind Rajveer. "No,"

"Your name is soo weird Mr husbo brother (to rudransh)!. I will call you as rudra ", abhira said , actually she declared

"As you like bhabhi", rudransh said , bowing down his Head

"But stop calling me bhabhi. Im abhira ,not bhabhi . Why are you calling me like that. ", abhira asked angrily and she turned to rajveer" Mr husbo, they are teasing mee", abhira pouted

Rajveer is trying to hide his smile "Abhira, it's not a bad word-"

Abhira, angrily interrupting "It is! You all teasing me! I'm gonna tell Mummyyy! Hmph!"

"Ohh... Abhira didn't like it? But... but Bhabhi doesn't mean bad. It means... 'Beautiful Happy Angel Baby Heroine Innocent!' See? B-H-A-B-H-I!"aliya said

Abhira blinks, confused but curious.
"It means... beautiful angel?"abhira asked

"Exactly! That's why you're our Bhabhi!"rudransh teased her

Abhira looks at them with suspicion, then slowly smiles.
"Okay... but only if it means angel. Not bad boy word." abhira said

And she went close to rajveer, taking his hand , she said softly. "I don't like them. Mr husbo, I only like you. Don't let them take me away."

Rajveer's heart ached at her words. He turned to her gently, holding her hands. "Hey, no one's taking you away bacha . I promise. They're here to meet you because they care about you, just like I do."

Abhira's gaze shifted nervously between Aliya and Rudransh. "Really?"

"Really," Rajveer said with a nod. "And you know what? Aliya makes the best pancakes, and Rudransh knows the funniest stories. Maybe they can share those with us sometime."

Abhira hesitated, her grip on Rajveer's arm loosening slightly. "Okay... but only if you stay with me Mr husbo."

"Always," Rajveer said, ruffling her hair gently. "Now, how about we all sit down and hear another story?"

Abhira nodded slowly, finally stepping out from behind Rajveer, though she kept close to his side.

But abhira becomes silent and started to think about something. And seeing her , Aliya asked"what happened bhabhi, what are you thinking about?".

"Ok! But where is my home? What is Rajveer's job ? Why all the doctors are getting scared by seeing him?",she asked innocently, her voice filled with a mixture of wonder and mischief.

Rajveer, standing by her side, felt a blush creep up his cheeks. He was about to respond when Rudransh stepped in with a playful grin"Well, Abhira bhabhi," he said with a playful grin, "Rajveer, he is a mafia king. That's why everyone's acting like they've seen a ghost."

Abhira blinked, her eyes widening in shock. She turned to Rajveer, mouth slightly agape. "You're a king? Like... a real king?"

Rajveer chuckled, trying not to laugh at her confused face. "Not exactly a king, princess. More like the boss of... well, let's say some important people. You could call it a kingdom, but not the kind with castles and crowns."

Abhira frowned, trying to process it. "But... you look so normal! You don't even have a crown or a throne!"

Rajveer smiled softly, crouching down to her level. "That's because being a mafia boss isn't about wearing a crown or sitting on a throne, sweetheart. It's about protecting the people you care about. Like how I'm protecting you."

Abhira thought for a moment, then burst out laughing. "So, you're like a superhero, but you wear suits instead of capes?"

Rajveer grinned. "Exactly. I'm your suit-wearing superhero."

"Wow," Abhira said, her voice filled with awe. "I thought mafia kings were scary, but you're like a nice one!"

Rajveer winked. "I'm glad you think so, princess. Just remember, you're safe with me."

Preeta, who had been silently watching the interaction with a warm smile, couldn't help but chuckle. She approached Abhira with an arm around her shoulders, her voice gentle and comforting. "But don't worry, Abhira," she said with a loving tone. "Once you're out of here, we'll take you to our big, beautiful palace. It'll be like a fairy tale, and I promise you'll love it."

Abhira's eyes sparkled at the mention of the palace. "A palace? Really? Like in the stories?"

"Yes, really!" Aryan affirmed, his voice full of maternal affection. "And if Rajveer irritated you , you can come to me , I will beat him " Aryan said , glancing at rajveer

"Noo Aryan papa, Mr, husbo is good boy . Don't beat hum, I don't like seeing him crying ", abhira said , possessively clutching rajveer's hand

Rajveer, still blushing but now with a hint of amusement in his eyes, looked at Abhira and said, " hayee mera bacha you are the first person who said that I am a good boy ."

Abhira giggled, her innocent laughter filling the room with a lightness that seemed to chase away the tension. "I think you're a good person, rajveer. I like u," she said, beaming at Rajveer and Preeta.
