Author's POV :-
"Aahhh!", rajveer cried out , as her hand touched his wound on his chest.
Abhira immediately got up and terrified as rajveer was winching in pain . Tears strated to stream down. "Puchku, is it hurts?", abhira asked, with concern, her hand gently placed on his wound.
Rajveer nooded
His body ached from the wounds, but he forced a smile when he saw Abhira clinging to him, her small arms wrapped tightly around his neck. She was sobbing uncontrollably, her tears soaking his hospital gown.
"puchku... you scared me... you scared me so much!" she cried, her voice cracking between sobs. "I thought you... you were gone."
He gently placed a hand on her head, stroking her hair to soothe her. "Hey, hey, I'm right here, Abhira. I'm okay," he whispered softly, his voice filled with warmth. "I'm not going anywhere, I promise."
But Abhira didn't let go. Her fear ran too deep. "You pranked me! You told the doctors to lie... to say you died!" She pulled back slightly, looking up at him with tear-filled eyes, her face twisted in both anger and sorrow. "That's mean, puchku! I was so upset!"
Rajveer chuckled weakly, though it hurt to laugh. "I didn't mean to scare you like that. I'm sorry, Abhira. It was just a joke, a stupid joke," he admitted, trying to calm her down.
Abhira's lips quivered as she pouted, clearly still upset, but Rajveer gently cupped her face. "Don't stay mad at me, okay? I'm here, and I need my little Abhira to smile again. Can you do that for me?"
After a moment, she wiped her tears with the back of her hand, nodding reluctantly. "Okay... but no more pranks, puchku. No more."
Before he could respond, the door to the hospital room burst open. Rudransh, Gaurav, and Aliya stormed in, their faces filled with a mix of worry and frustration. They were feeling happy and anger at the same time as rajveer pranked on them .
"Rajveer! You idiot!" Gaurav shouted, throwing his arms up in the air. "Do you think we enjoy heart attacks?!"
Rajveer bittied his lips to control his laugh.
"Abhey suvvar, (hey pig), do you have common sense? How can you prank on us huh? Me, Aliya, rudransh and especially abhira bhabhi was crying vulnerably for you .we and abhira didn't ate anything from yesterday and abhira was sitting beside you from yesterday's night without sleeping. Here we had a mini heart attack because of you and you are sleeping happily and pranked on us?Do you even know what you have done?", gaurav shouted in anger but concern too.
"It's ok gaurav, let's make his own prank into reality. Now you will die in our hands, you idiot !", rudransh shouted and came towards rajveer and before he can do anything, abhir came between him and rajveer and she hugged rajveer tightly, shielding him with her body.
"No, don't hurt my puchku again. Please rudransh bhaiya ", Abhira said innocently, hugging rajveer tightly and rajveer was continuously staring at her , his eyes with regret, love .
Rudransh stepped back , understand abhira's emotions but still angry on rajveer.
"But we can beat him after his recovery right? I swear, no one can stop me on that day, not even Abhira", Aliya said firmly, crossing her arms, rolling her eyes.
"Hello Madam ji , i think you forgot something. I'm the one who saved you from that monster. If i wouldn't took those bullets on my chest, you would have been in my place now", rajveer dramatically said to Aliya., teasing her.
"Oh, now it's my fault, is it?" she shouted, her eyes filling with tears. "You're in this hospital bed because you saved me!"
Rajveer smirked, teasing. "Well, you could've moved faster."
Aliya let out a frustrated cry
Aliya's tough exterior finally cracked. She broke down, rushing to his side and hugging him tight, her face buried in his chest. "You idiot... I thought I lost you," she whispered between sobs, her voice fragile.
Rudransh joined the hug , his arms around rajveer and Aliya."you burried us to death man. How can we leave without you huh?
Gaurav, though still annoyed, finally sighed and stepped closer, placing a hand on Rajveer's shoulder. "You idiot," he muttered. "Don't ever do that to us again."
Rajveer smiled weakly, gesturing toward Abhira. "Come on, Abhira. Group hug," he whispered. She hesitated for a moment, wiping her tears before joining the embrace.
A moment later, the doctor entered. "Rajveer's condition is stable, but he needs full rest," he said, glancing at everyone. "No stress, no work for a while. He needs time to heal."
Abhira, her arms still around Rajveer, looked at the doctor with determination in her eyes. "I'll make sure bhaiyya doesn't get hurt again. Ever." Her voice was strong, though her childlike innocence was still there. Rajveer smiled at her words, his heart swelling with love for her.
The room fell into silence as their thoughts shifted to their loss. Rajveer, his voice now filled with sorrow, whispered, "Dadaji..." Tears welled up in his eyes, and soon, Aliya and Rudransh joined him, their grief over their grandfather's death too much to bear.
Through the tears, Rajveer gathered his strength. "We've lost so much. I couldn't save dadaji, Chachi ji and chachaji " he said, his voice cracking.
"How Useless I'm?I'm the worst person in the world", rajveer blamed himself, closing his eyes to control his tears.
"Bro, don't say that. You are my best brother. You didn't had any idea about that attack, neither of us too. It's a destiny brother. Dont blame your self", Aliya whispered, her voice smooth and she squeezed rajveer's hand.
Rudransh placed a hand on Rajveer's shoulder. "He wouldn't want us to cry, but... it hurts."
Rajveer, trying to gather his strength, spoke again, his voice full of love and concern. "We need to take care of Riya. She lost her parents, ... We have to treat her with extra care."
"But we still have each other", Abhira said, love and responsibilities evident in her eyes.
Rudransh nodded, wiping his eyes. "We will, Rajveer. She's family."
Rudransh glanced at Abhira, his eyes narrowing slightly in confusion. "And what about the baby boy? Who is he? Why were you carrying that baby around you?"
Abhira's eyes softened as she looked down at the small bundle resting in a crib beside her. She smiled through her tears and gently said, "He's mine... and Rajveer's son."
Aliya, gaurav and rudransh got a high voltage shock. "Ayein? Bhabhi, when did you became pregnant and when did you delivered baby ? What's happening yaar? You guys married recently right?that too without me ?", gaurav asked with confusion, and scratching his head .
Rajveer widened his eyes with annoyance because of gaurav illogical thoughts. Rudransh and Aliya shook their head and bitting their lips to control their laugh.
"Hey half brain fellow, they had married recently and there was no pregnancy announcement of bhabhi and you are asking them that when she delivered baby?", rudransh mocked him, lightly beating on gaurav head.
"Well guys, we decided adopted that baby boy. Abhira because close to that baby boy and that baby boy is a orphan too and I thought to send him to our orphanage but abhira wasn't ready and she was tensed about his future and his adopted parents character. I thought her concern is right. So we decided to adopt that boy. I thought to Tell about this to you all but circumstance weren't in favour", rajveer explained them.
"It's a very good decision, bhabhi and bhaiya. We are so happy for you both.", Aliya said exclaimed, with happiness. She was happy that she became aunty. She hugged Abhira"congratulations mummy Abhira ", she said, teasing her tightly.
"Well bro thank you for fulfilling my wish to super chachu ", rudransh said .
"Yee , I will be your son's best friend too!", gaurav exclaimed, with happiness.
All of them were so happy and hospital room was filled with their happiness and love , care for eachother.
After few days:-
Rajveer was discharged from hospital but wounds were still raw and didn't healed fully. Doctors said him to take bed rest for one week and strictly suggested him not to do any work and not take strees.
Rajveer, abhira reached to Rajvanshi's mansion. Abhira was tightly holding his arm not leaving him even for a second. They both got out from car .
As he entered, he heard a familiar voices - his (childhood) and Dadaji's. And he looked towards garden and remembered his childhood time spending with dadaji , and some memories flashes infront of him , in which dadaji and rajveer was playing hide and seek and dadaji twirling rajveer around and becoming a horse for him and rajveer was sat on him and dadaji pretended as horse for rajveer.
And he remembered the bedtime stories dadaji told rajveer and teaching him business techniques and making him to sit on ceo chair of Dadaji's empire and giving his blessings to him.
Rajveer felt emotional, ofc he will, he lost his one of the biggest supporter and the person who loved him the most, when he was suffering in his childhood due to his parents. Tears streamed in his eyes but he controlled his tears and signed heavily.
Abhira understood what rajveer feeling now. She tightly clutched his hand "don't cry puchku, dadaji always be with us . Dadaji loves you more ,right! If he sees that you are crying because of him , then dadaji will also cry ", abhira innocently said to rajveer, her eyes filled with concern and pain .
Rajveer stumbled but Abhira tightly holded his arm and both exchanged their looks. "Abhira leave me, you can handle me , i mean my weight. You are so thin like skeleton. you will also fall with me jaan," rajveer said to her, lightly teasing her about her weight.
"No puchku, I will not leave you. If i leave you you will again leave me and will get hurt again. I can handle you. Ima strong girl now. You took care of me when I was sick now it's my responsibility to take care of you", abhira said, her maturity is evident in her words and not understanding that rajveer is teasing her .
Both went near the entrance of the house, where dadiji, rudransh, Aliya,riya, Manish uncle and suwarna aunty were waiting for him and abhira.
Abhira quickly went in and took a handful salt from maid and removed nazar (ritual of removing bad eyes)rajveer . And rajveer was amazed to know that Abhira knows how to remove nazar.
He entered inside the mansion and he immediately went to dadaji, who was looking lost and her eyes red . Dadaji cupped his face and cried. "My son , I was so scared, i thought I lost you too after your grandfather deadth. I lost your grandfather but now I can't loose you too , beta", dadaji cried her hands on his cheek and a tear was streamed down rajveer's cheek.
"Ok sorry dadiji. I couldn't save dadaji, chachu and Chachi, if happens, please forgive you worst grandson", rajveer begged.
"No beta, you are the best grandson. It's all a destiny, everyone should die at the end but your grandfather dismiss was too fast . You saved me, Aliya, Riya and rest of the family. And you risked your life for Aliya. You are the best gift our family have , rajveer", dadaji said , proud in her eyes for rajveer, she gently runned her hand on his hair .
After that ,riya rushed towards rajveer and hugged him tightly and started to cry vulnerably, rajveer winced in pain both physical and mental. His guilt consuming him that he couldn't do anything to pacify his little sister.
"Bhaiya, thank God you are back, I was so scared bhaiya. Please don't leave us . I'm alone .I lost my parents, now I can't lost by big brother", riya begged, her voice trembling due to her sobs.
"No bachaa, i won't. I will strangle your next if again ou Said that you are alone. Did you remember when you were kid , you used to take me your school and introduced me to you teacher that I'm your chote papa (it means father figure or paternal uncle), in your ptm (parent teacher meeting), whenever chachu and Chachi were not available or when you got less marks in exams and to escape from their taunt in meeting. You are my little sister. In india, but bride is equal to father and it means that I'm your father ok", rajveer said , whole heartedly, placing his hand on her head .
Riya nooded. Tears streaming down her cheeks, now due to happiness and in confidence that her elder brother is with her .
"And I'm you mother then! ", abhira excitedly, her face glowing with happiness.
All felt happy and rudransh, Aliya, rajveer, riya had a group hug.
Dadaji prayed to God that their grandchildren should be happy and should stand with eachother in every situation, forever.
Finally rajveer and abhira told to all family members that they adopted the baby boy as their child and everyone was happy and feeling proud for their mature step , except dadaji. She doesn't want a stranger and boy if other family blood to become the part of Rajvanshi's.
