Ayush Pov:
I am grinning like a fool seeing her face hidden in my shoulder. She said I like you to me. She may think I did not understand when she spoke fastly but I understood clearly. I am very happy as she finally confessed to me.
"Nothing," she said, hiding her face in my chest. I gently moved her face with my hand from my chest and came face to face with her. We were staring at each other without blinking. At that moment I felt like kissing her but I controlled myself as I have been doing this lately so much.
"I think you said something like 'I like you'. Then why are you hiding yourself after confessing to me. I know it is your first time confessing , so don't worry I will not tease you. It is my first time." I said to her indirectly. I know very well she is shy after saying her feelings to me. She is blushing profusely as I can see her red cheeks. After saying the last sentence she grinned looking at me. After a second she realized what I said and got confused and asked the question which was roaming in her mind.
"What do you mean? Do you also have the same feelings for me? Please tell me na." She made a puppy face looking at me as if I was going to answer her question. I smirked looking at her reaction, so I thought to tease her more.
"I said it is also my first time kissing. I never kissed any girl before you. You are lucky you know that I am your first kiss who has never touched any girl." She was looking at me with a tearful expression and hugged me tightly, keeping her hands around my neck.
"I know as You don't know how to kiss the same as me." She was crying while talking to me and I got emotional when she was opening up to me about her feelings. I was doing wrong but I can't forgive her yet.
"I also like you Nikshitra. It is my first time saying this to any girl. I was afraid in my childhood that if I like any girl and if she rejects me after proposing. I can't bear it so I never used to speak to girls. My mom used to say when I meet my understanding partner you can share everything with her without feeling what they might feel of your actions. My mom used to say that if you can accept her in your life without changing yourself then you should remain with her throughout your life as I can't get a better life partner than her. So I am ready to be with you throughout my life Nikki." I said true words which were said by my mother. She was the only one who was the reason for my good upbringing. She used to say girls are very delicate as they will get broken easily when they have heartbreak. I was crying while saying my feelings to Nikki as I don't know if she will be there in my life or not. But I want to express my feelings for real.
But then I remembered that she is the reason for my misery and changed my expression thinking about her sins. I was very angry now but I smirked thinking how she easily melted to my words. I have to be very careful about my heart as I can't be pitiful towards her. It is an act to trust me without any doubt.
"Nikki, I will always protect you and take care of you. I will also take care of your dad. You don't have to worry, just trust me Nikki. I was not in my mind when I shouted at you on our marriage day. I was in tension at that time. Someone told me that you are bad and characterless. So I trusted his words and scolded you with bad names and slapped you. I am really sorry Nikki. I should have trusted you at that time. I got to know that the rumour which has been spread about you was false from my investigator. I was afraid that you would leave me so I changed my behaviour after knowing the truth. I liked you for a very long time so I requested your dad for your hand in marriage as I don't believe in love and all. Once again I am really sorry Nikki. Please forgive me. Trust me I won't believe anyone says bad things about you. I will believe in you only. " I am on cloud nine as my plan is working perfectly. I was afraid that she may not trust me as I have slapped her and scolded her with bad names, so I made up a story to believe in me.
I don't know that she already started trusting me after taking her to her dad's house . She has to trust me and love me then I can break her mentally and physically. It is the beginning of her end. All may think I am taking advantage of her situation but whatever she did to my family it is very less pain she is suffering. But.sometimes I feel pain when she is in pain or crying, I have to ignore it,
Revenge is my priority as of now. I like whenever she is close to me or kisses me. I got angry when she spoke to Sameer as he was her long lost friend. She was laughing with him like she never laughed in her whole life. She speaks non stop with him, what is there in him that I don't have. Why can't she speak to me Like that?
I know I am a boring and moody person but she can talk to me and I will listen to her. For a minute I thought I was jealous of Sameer but I don't think so. I am thinking too much about her, that's why my mind is playing games with me.
She broke the hug and started ignoring me as she turned her face away, not looking at me. She was feeling awkward after confessing her feelings first I know as I can see her nervous state. So I left her there without embarrassing her more. I can't act more in front of her. So to avoid that situation I left from there in anger to my study. I had to distract myself so I worked more. I slept in my study only not realizing how my eyes closed automatically due to tiredness.

After one week:
Nikshitra's Pov:
My life changed after confessing my feelings to Ayush. He is taking care of me daily. He did not even let me do single work. He completely changed, he helps me with everything I need without even telling him. He feeds me daily. He shifted my belongings to his room and I sleep daily in his room only as he gave me the orders to not put my leg outside of this room till I completely heal.
He took leave from his office for three days. In those three days I felt like a queen. He carried me everywhere I wanted without any complaint. He behaved very nicely with me. He always smiles at me. He used to bring snacks for me from outside. I used to eat lots of junk food whenever I was at home. I told him about that once then he brought it the next day. I was very happy that time when he brought chocolate ice cream with junk food. I ate all of that this week without leaving Ayush.
Whenever Ayush was not there, Meena aunty took care of my needs. She was there with me and changed my clothes daily and used to give me a sponge bath as my wounds are not completely healed.
Doctor came and checked today and he said it may take another week to completely heal my leg. So he said to be careful and not to move anywhere.
"Nikki, what are you thinking?" Ayush asked the question, came beside me and sat on the other side of the bed holding my right hand in his both hands. He is looking at me to give the answer to his question.
"Nothing, I was thinking about my life. How it changed drastically. I never thought I would marry a person who can have the same feelings as me. I did not think that he would reciprocate. Forget about that ,why are you late? Is there any problem in the office?" I was worried when he came late from the office. As usual he used to come in between 6:30 to 7pm. But today he came an hour late. I was ready to call him just now. He was smiling seeing my tense face.
"Don't worry sweetheart, there is a minor problem in the office. Someone in my office has betrayed and given the quotations to the other company. So the tender has gone to them. I don't know who did that. So we are searching but we have not got any positive result. Let's forget about this. I want to have a peaceful sleep with you." He said about the problem in his office. I want to change his mood so I diverted his mind by requesting him.
"I don't want to sleep Ayush. From morning till evening I am lying on this bed. Other than my mobile I don't have any work to do. Since this morning I have been scrolling through my i********: and watching kdramas. It is getting boring. Please take me to the living room. I have been seeing these four walls only from one week. I want fresh air. Pleaseeeeee.….Ayush." I made a cute pout face requesting him to take me from here. I can understand him as he was very tired from work so to change his mood, I made a request as I cant move from one place to another. It is getting congested to live in one room for a whole week.
So he carried me bridal style in his arms, without changing his clothes and took me to the garden. I wound my arms around his neck and stared at him continuously without blinking. I was smiling heartily when we reached the garden.
"Thank you Ayush." He settled me on the grass and sat beside me holding my shoulder.
"Its Ok. You will be fine within a week and you can do your normal routine. I know it is very tiring to sit in one room. I forgot that you need fresh air. You must be feeling congested sitting there alone. I am sorry." I regretted asking him to take me here. He was feeling bad because of me. He was tired and I am complaining. I should have thought about this. I am feeling bad. But I will remove his worries.
"Ayush please don't say sorry for everything which is not in our hands. I should say sorry to you as I did not even let you sleep. You were tired coming from office, I made a silly demand and without any complaint you accepted it." I said what I felt to him.
"Dont say like that Nikshu. Whatever you ask I will fulfill it. Now onwards no sorry. Ok." He said to me very sincerely, looking in my eyes while holding my hand in his hand. What I did to get this man. I got tears in my eyes feeling grateful to him.
I turned to the other side and wiped my tears without getting noticed. We were looking at the sky for half an hour without speaking a word, breathing fresh air. No words were spoken.
"In my childhood I used to watch stars with my mom. She used to say she wanted to go towards the sky and touch them. She was very fond of stars, whenever they twinkled she used to smile looking at them. I used to look at mom when she was looking at the stars. Now she has become the star leaving me alone in this world." One tear flowed from his left eye when he spoke about his mom. I was feeling pain in my heart when he shed a tear. I became sad thinking about his lonely life. I have my father with me but he dont have anyone to share his worries with. I hugged him to my chest and let him cry. He was reminiscing his memories of his mom. It will be painful for him. I also got tears in my eyes looking at him. I patted his back to let him go off his pain.
