Chapter 95

Vimal watched the constables drag Pratik out and he informed the Inspector that he would talk later since he had to take care of his wife at the moment. The Inspector understood the situation and left from there. Vimal rushed to the bedroom to check on Chaitra and he saw her sitting on the floor with her knees pulled to her chest.

He crouched before her and pulled her to his embrace and kissed her temple. Chaitra burst out crying in his embrace and Vimal’s heart shattered on seeing his all sassy and lively wife broken in his arms.

Vimal: Calm down Ira, you don’t have to cry anymore. I m here now and my brave girl fought him well.

Chaitra pulled back from the hug and removed the shirt she was wearing and Vimal saw the nail marks on her shoulder, her nape had turned red from the way Pratik pulled her hair, her wrist had a bruise.

Chaitra was crying uncontrollably and Vimal cupped her face in his palm, he wiped her tears and kissed her eyes, his lips lingering for a while. All the moments they had spent together even before marriage and after marriage flashed through his mind and that moment he realized everything he felt for her was nothing less than love. He realized that she had won him as a whole, he realized that he would ruin the world for her, he felt he could stop breathing if something happened to her, he knew he would go to any extent to keep her safe in his embrace, the way she was seeking solace and his heart reached out to console her, he knew his mind, body, soul and heart surrendered to her completely.

He pecked her lips, a gentle one with no lust and he removed the hair from her face.

Vimal: Open your eyes and look at me Ira….look at me baby girl..

Chaitra opened her eyes that were red and puffy from all the crying and he rubbed his nose with her.

Vimal: I love you Ira….

Her sobs stopped abruptly and she looked at him in utter shock. Vimal kissed her cheek and leaning closer he kissed the bruises on her body.

Vimal: I love you Ira… love you so much. You are my life, my soul, my trust, my hope, my destiny and my love. You are my everything and I hate to see tears in your eyes Ira, I would rather die

Chaitra: you love me ?

Vimal: Yes Ira, I love you .. love you so much. I’m not saying this to console you nor I m in any heat of the moment but I really meant it. I really love you, I realized that there is no reason for my existence without you.

Chaitra broke down hearing his words and hugged him.

Chaitra: I love you

Vimal: Shhhh, now stop crying and lets get out of this place. I don’t want us to stay here and live any memory that would hurt you.

He carried her to the washroom and got rid of her clothes completely. He clenched his jaws and slowly washed her and aided the bruises before they got dressed up. They arrived at the parking and Vimal opened the door for her. He drove to a resort and booked a room for their stay. He ordered food for them but Chaitra refused to eat.

Vimal: Ira, I know this would be hard for you but I know you are a very strong girl and you have me. I will make sure he doesn’t see the daylight in his life ever. There won’t be any problem in our life ever, it would be only you and me, forever Ira.

Chaitra hugged him and Vimal slowly fed her before he cuddled her to sleep. Once she fell asleep he spoke to the Inspector and then he called his father and explained the situation and informed him that he would leaving the country for few days until Chaitra felt better. Later he called Rishi and informed him everything happened.

Rishi: Don’t worry Vimal, take care of Chaitra and about that bastard, I will take care of him. You need not worry about the case anymore, just focus on Chaitra.

Vimal: Thanks Rishi and I m taking her out of the country for a while and I m not planning on returning to that place.

Rishi: Good decision, you want me to find a place ?

Vimal: No, I will take care. I will inform you once I land at our destination and you let Aadhi talk to her.

Vimal cut the call and started booking for their travel the very next day. Once everything was done he called his PA and informed him to find a villa or a flat with high security. He looked at Chaitra who was still frowning and got in bed with her, he pulled her to embrace and watched the frown disappear. He kissed her forehead tried to sleep but he couldn’t as the scene kept replaying in his mind, unable to hold more he sent a message to his Rishi and smiled on seeing the reply from him.

The next morning Chaitra woke up and saw Vimal caressing her hair. On seeing her stir in sleep Vimal kissed her forehead with a smile.

Chaitra: Didn’t you sleep Vimal ?

Vimal: Now thats not the way you greet your husband Ira.

He cupped her face and pecked her lips and nose mumbling good morning. Chaitra wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his neck.

Vimal: Keep doing that and I will have to change all my plans now.

Chaitra: what plans are you talking about ?

Vimal: May be we are leaving the country for our much awaited honeymoon. What would be your reaction if I said that I have tickets to Greece, my wife’s favourite honeymoon destination ?

Chaitra straddled him in excitement and Vimal touched her chest and was about to squueze her bosoms but Chaitra swat his hands away.

Chaitra: I m tired…..

She laid on him and Vimal chuckled caressing her back.

Vimal: Get reay baby girl, I have got few clothes for us and the rest we shall buy on reaching Greece. Now get ready and our flight is in the afternoon, its already 10 now.

He helped her get ready and by afternoon they boarded the flight. Vimal had booked first class tickets and Chaitra leaned onto him comfortably. They landed in Greece in the early morning hours and as soon as they eached the hotel suite they fell asleep due to jet lag.

It was almost in the evening they woke up and Vimal ordered food since they were starving. Chaitra looked better and he saw her smiling at the view from the balcony. Chaitra’s mobile rang and she saw it was from Aadhi.

Vimal: She knows Ira, talk to her and I don’t want you to talk about this after today.

Chaitra bobed her head and Vimal left from there to give her privacy. He knew the girls and he was sure Aadhi would handle situtations well and soon he would hear Chaitra’s laughter. True to his thoughts he heard her laugh in few minutes before she cut the call and returned to him. She hugged him and kissed his cheek before she sat on his lap.

Chaitra: Thank you Vimal, for saving not once but twice. I was scared but I really fought him just like you expected of me even at the first time he tried to force himself. I slashed his arm too but I wasn’t strong enough to stop him completely.

Vimal: You could have just stabbed the knife over his chest and I would have handled it baby girl and dare you thank me once again, then I will show you exactly how you will be punished.

Chaitra chuckled and kissed his earlobe.

Chaitra: I love you honeybear

Vimal: I love you Ira

Chaitra: I love you hubby

Vimal: I love you baby girl

Chaitra: I love you Mr.husband

Vimal: I love you wifey

Chaitra: I love you Vimal

Vimal: I love you sweet heart

Chaitra: Won’t you question me why do I keep repeating ?

Vimal: I would love to hear your love for me just as much as you wish to hear mine. So, I wouldn’t mind if you said it a million or even a billion times. Now lets go shopping and buy some sexy outfits for my seductress.

They got ready and visited a mall to complete shopping and they had dinner before returning to their room. As soon they entered the room Chaitra felt giddy and Vimal immediately held her.

Vimal: Ira, what happened ?

Chaitra: Nothing honey.

Before she completed the sentence she lost her conscious and fell in his embrace. Vimal panicked and immediately carried her to the bed. He sprinkled water over her face but when there was not response from her he felt his heart beating eratically. He called the reception and called for a doctor to check her. He continued to rub her palm and sole trying to wake her up. On hearing the door bell he opened and let the doctor check her.

Chaitra opened her eyes in a few minutes after she was injected and saw Vimal sitting next to her with a worried expression.

Doctor asked few questions and Vimal furrowed on hearing her state that she was feeling giddiness for a couple of days by now.

Doctor: When was the last time you had your periods ?

Chaitra froze and saw Vimal too gulping to the doctor’s question.

Chaitra: I m late by 10 days and I m used to have my periods delayed by a week.

Doctor: Well, you should get tested using a HPT or I could arrange to tested for you by HPT as well with blood.

Vimal: Please arrange for it.

Doctor pulled out his mobile and called for his assistant to carry out the pregnancy test. Chaitra felt Vimal squeeze her fingers unintentionally. Chaitra excused from the doctor and pulled Vimal to the balcony.

Chaitra: Vimal, I want to know your thought before we get tested. Would you be happy if turns out to be positive or will you hate me and our baby ?

Vimal: What nonsense Ira ? Why do you think I would hate you or our baby ? Ofcourse I would be happy and you will be the best mother but I m scared, do you think I would be the best father to our baby, what if I couldn’t ?

Chaitra: You will be the best father Vimal, please don’t ever doubt yourself. My Vimal, my honey bear is the best.

Vimal: I trust you Ira

Chaitra’s heart welled with joy and excitement everytime he said that he trust her, that one sentence held so much value to their relationship.

Chaitra: Lets back, doctor must be waiting.

Vimal bobed his head and they returned to the room and saw the doctor and his assitant waiting for them. A couple of minutes they got the samples and informed that they would get the results at the earliest possible.

Vimal was feeling restless and Chaitra hugged him and stroke his back to calm him down.

Vimal: God, I don’t want to faint on hearing the results.

Chaitra: you remember the first night of our wedding ? You fainted and fell over me.

Vimal groaned hiding his face in his palm and Chaitra chuckled on seeing him blush as if he was reminiscing the memory. They got changed into their night clothes and watched a movie but their mind was totally lost about the results. They were biting their nails and startled when the door bell rang.

Vimal rushed to open it followed by Chaitra. They saw the doctor smiling at them and he was holding an envelop.

Vimal: Could you please tell us the results already

Doctor: Well, congrats. Your wife is pregnant and she is at the early stage so be extra careful no rough sex, no frequent travelling and possibly enough rest between your romance cause I see you are on honeymoon that you planned a bit late.

Vimal turned to Chaitra and she was in air and he was twirling her. They heard the sound of throar clearing and they saw doctor smiling at them.

Doctor: Sure, I would take my leave once you receive the reports from me.

Vimal got the reports from him and with a quick thank you he shut the door. He pinned Chaitra to the door and started kissing her. Chaitra felt his tears wash her cheeks, she pulled back from the kiss to look at him but Vimal shut his eyes and pressed their foreheads together.

Vimal: I have no words Ira… I won’t lie that I m not scared but I m happy, so happy. Thank you Ira.. I love you baby girl.. I will take care of you, protect you and our baby.

Chaitra kissed his forehead and he carried her to the bed and laid her carefully on the bed. He removed her top and kissed her abdomen, not once.. not twice… he continued to shower kisses until his eyes stopped shedding tears.

Vimal: I love you baby, I will protect you with my heart and life. Thank you for coming into our life. I can’t wait to hold you in my arms.

Chaitra was moved by the way he was acting around her and the baby. She realized the journey would be a roller coster with Vimal’s fear but she trusted their love more than anything.
