Vimal and Chaitra returned home at night and entered the washroom to bath. They stood together under the shower and Vimal was holding her waist and peppering kisses on her shoulder blade.
Chaitra: Are you happy ? How do you feel now ?
Vimal: Happy and I feel like another burden taken away from me after I saw our little princess. Rishi said that she is my princess too.
Chaitra: Ofcourse she is our princess and I m planning on staying with Aadhi and baby for a while.
Vimal squeezed her waist and Chaitra hissed in pain glaring at him. Vimal turned her to face him and bit her cheek not so gently, he squeezed her bosoms and glared at her.
Vimal: Dare you have any idea on leaving me alone even for a minute Ira.. I swear to fuck you senselessly until you will not be able to get off the bed. You will not leave me and that is final.
Chaitra: Honey bear, you could come with me. We shall stay for a while and look after Aadhi and the princess.
Vimal: I would love that but you will forget me once you meet Aadhi and baby. Don’t you think your baby needs you to cuddle at night ?
Chaitra slapped his arm with a pout and draped a towel around her body. Vimal watched her dry her hair and apply moisturizer to her arms and legs and his eyes shamelessly followed her very moment.
Chaitra: Stop staring and get out. I need some sleep tonight so keep your hands to yourself.
Vimal: No promises Ira….
Chaitra picked a T shirt and shorts to wear but Vimal threw them and gave her his shirt while he wore only a boxer. Once she was done he carried her to the bed and cuddled to sleep.
A week passed and Aadhi and Rishi were taking care of the baby together. Rishi adored his daughter and wife sleeping on the bed and he felt content in his life. He took care of his daughter at night and woke up Aadhi only to feed their daughter.
By morning Rishi arrived at the living and saw it was all decorated with flowers and balloons. Both their parents were busy in looking after the arrangements for the naming ceremony. Vani who helped Aadhi in bathing the baby walked out leaving Aadhi to get ready. On seeing his mother Rishi immediately jogged to his room and saw Aadhi dressing up their princess. Rishi helped her and an hour later they descended the stairs with Rishi carrying their princess. They all saw the baby wearing Rishi’s jewels that was gifted to Aadhi by grandpa.
They saw a priest who was ready to start the pooja and Chaitra, Malini rushed to Rishi to look at the baby. The couple sat for the pooja and Rishi placed baby on Aadhi’s lap. Once the pooja was done everyone was curious to know the baby’s name.
Rishi: Our princess has all our hearts so we name her ” Hridhaya” and we call her ” Ridha”
One by one called the baby with the name and Aadhi gave the baby to Vimal. He carried Ridha and kissed her forehead as tears rolled down his cheek. Chaitra wiped his tear and everyone showered gifts for the baby.
Everyone saw Vimal not leaving the baby for a minute and even Chaitra and Malu gave up after trying hard. He sat on the couch and was talking to the baby and Chaitra couldn’t avert her eyes from watching the adorable scene. Vimal saw the baby sucking on her fist and immediately called Rishi.
Rishi: Wow, our princess is hungry ? Lets go to mamma.
He carried Ridha to their room and saw Aadhi, Malu and Chaitra chatting as always. On seeing Ridha who was about to cry the girls walked out and Rishi laid their baby on Aadhi’s lap while he sat next to her. He chuckled on hearing their princess slurp and kissed her toes.
Aadhi: Are you happy Rishu ?
Rishi: Happy ? Are you kidding me Aadhu ? I m on cloud nine and I have no words to express the way you have turned my life into such a beautiful painting. I m loving every bit of this happiness and you are the reason behind all these. I love you baby..
He leaned close and pecked her forehead and kissed her lips. It was a beautiful moment for them and Rishi carried Ridha and let Aadhi to rest for a while.
Vimal and Cahitra stayed the night as they couldn’t leave Ridha even for a while. Once Ridha fell asleep they entered the guest room to rest for the day. Chaitra was smiling at him and he pinched her cheeks knowing the reason behind her smile.
Chaitra: Would you be happy to have our child.. I mean we never used protection so what if I get pregnant ?
Vimal: Ridha is our princess but we can’t keep her all the time with us atleast until she is ready to stay away from Rishi and Aadhi but our baby will be with us all the time. I could watch her sleep, change her diapers, I will never let her leave my sight even for a second. Even, I will learn to bath her and she will be our life.
Chaitra saw the way his eyes carried the glint while he spoke but that vanished immediately and she saw him rubbing his chest in discomfort.
Vimal: But I m scared Ira… I m scared .
Chaitra: Do you trust your Ira, honey bear ?
Vimal: I trust you more than anything and anyone Ira.
Chaitra: Then trust me hubby, only good things will happen to us. Nothing will stop from us from being happy and living to the fullest of our heart. now tell me what if we have a boy ?
Vimal: Boy or girl, I want to raise our baby like you and Aadhi, to be selfless and love everyone from the bottom of the heart but I don’t want our children to go through anything that we all had faced in our life. I don’t want the history to repeat, not in our children’s life.
Chaitra: Mister Vimal, our baby is not yet born and you are worried about the future already but still don’t worry, no history will repeat and we shall guide our children so how about we start the process of baby making ?
Vimal: You will never stop until I do it with my own ways, Am I right Ira ?
Chaitra: Ofcourse but hold your horses and we are not doing anything here. so shut your system and lets sleep.
Vimal groaned and saw her already pulling the comforter to her chest. He sneaked inside the comforter and hugged her as they fell asleep.
Morning Vimal got ready and arrived at the living. He smiled on seeing Aadhi and Chaitra talking with the baby and Rishi working on his laptop sitting on the single seater couch opposite to them.
Vimal carried Ridha in his arms and kissed her cheek.
Vimal: Good morning princess, time for me to leave but I will be back soon to play with you.
Vimal laid Ridha on the baby bed and saw Chaitra wasn’t ready yet for office.
Vimal: Excuse me madam, don’t you think we are running late to office ?
Chaitra: I don’t feel like working today. Please honey bear, let me stay back with Aadhi and Ridha. I will be back home in the evening.
Rishi: Vimal, there is no way we would get some attention now so you better leave and I will send her with driver.
Both Aadhi and Chaitra scoffed to his words and Vimal cleared his throat calling Chaitra to walk him off. Aadhi controlled her smile and watched Vimla and Chaitra leave the home. Vimal stood leaning on the car and cocked his eyeborws at her.
Vimal: I will miss you Ira. Call me once you are back home and I will start early too.
Chaitra: Ofcourse honey bear, I love you. Take care
She was about to leave but Vimal pulled her back holding her wrist and kissed her lips and pecked her forehead before he drove away leaving her flustered. Chaitra spent the whole day with Aadhi, Rishi and Ridha. By evening once she was ready to leave, Rishi informed the driver to drop her home.
Chaitra immediately sent a message to Vimal that she had reached home and entered the kitchen to cook dinner for him. Vimal who was already on way back to home smiled on seeing her message. He stopped by a florist and bought her favourite flowers and took a couple of minutes to buy her favourite chocolates.
Chaitra was in the middle of the cooking when she heard the door bell ring.
Chaitra: Who could be here at this time ? Could it be Vimal ? Ofcourse he would have thought of surprising me.
She turned off the burner and rushed to open the door. She adjusted her hair and opened the door only to be shocked on seeing her cousin Pratik. She was about to shut the door but he kicked the door and Chaitra fell on the floor to the force. He barged inside and shut the door giving her an evil smile.
Chaitra: Get out you bastard.. my husband will be here anytime and he will kill you this time.
Pratik: Seems like you are so happy with that fucking bastard and you thought I will let you both live in peace after everything he put me through ?
Chaitra: stay away Pratik. I m warning you for good. Then I was only his sister’s friend but now I m his wife and he will show you hell.
Chaitra rose to her feet and tried to run to her bedroom but he caught her hair and Chaitra screamed in pain.
Pratik: He tortured me for a week, he used me like a punching bag. It would be fair only if I give back to him so how about I get a taste of his wife afterall I would have been your first if he hadn’t showed up that day.
He pushed her on the couch and hovered her, his hand trying to get hold of her shirt but Chaitra fought him and tried to push him.
Pratik: Stop fighting bitch, there is no one to save you today. I have been watching you for the past 10 days now.
Chaitra kicked him with her knees and tried to escape from him but he pulled her shirt that got ripped. Chaitra picked a cushion to cover and ran to the dining where she picked a knife and threatened to kill him.
Chaitra: Get out you fucking monster or I will not think twice to kill you with my hands.
Pratik: Seems like you got wings little birdie and how about I cut off those wings ?
He jumped over the dining table and tried to get close to her but Chaitra slashed him on his arm as tears rolled down her eyes.
Pratik grit his teeth on looking at his bleeding hand and threw a plate on her hand. The knife slipped from Chaitra’s hand and she pushed the chairs and all the things trying to get to the door. Pratik caught her hair once again but Chaitra was quick to release the lock of the door. Right in time Vimal entered and his blood boiled on seeing the scene before him.
Vimal instantly pulled Chaitra towards him and punched Pratik until he fell on the floor with a bleeding nose and lips. He straddled Pratik and continue to hit and punch him.
Vimal: You mother fucker… how dare you..how dare you touch my wife ?
Vimal held both the hands of Pratik and twisted it back breaking the bones. Pratik started screaming and Chaitra heard footsteps of the neighbours so she quickly rushed to their bedroom and shut the door. One of the neighbours called the police and few even tried to pull back Vimal but he was so mad in killing Pratik. He rushed to the dining area and picking the knife that was on the floor he returned to Pratik and slashed his arms and stabbed his thigh.
Vimal: I will fucking kill you. you heard me ?
Vimal pressed the knife more on his thigh and all the neighbours were now scared on seeingt he scene and rushed out immediately. Police arrived and with great difficult they pulled Vimal away from Pratik. The Inspector who knew the history of Pratik informed the constables to take Pratik for treatment and in the meanwhile he looked at Vimal who was still raging.
