Happy Reading!

"Why" Arohi asked looking at him with teary yes.

Abhishek gave her a confusing look. "Why what?"

"Why are you taking care of me?" a tear slid down her eyes as she tried to take a deep breath.

Abhishek wiped her tears with his thumb "Shh it's okay Aru. Just breathe" he caressed her hairs.

"Ab.. Abhi I.. I ca.. can't bre..." she tried saying but failed miserably. Tears slid down her eyes continuously and she had more trouble in breathing and was shaking very badly. She was getting unconscious.

"Shit! No no no please Aru stay with me. Don't close your eyes" he patted her cheeks to keep her conscious. She looked at him with difficulty. "Abhi.."

"I won't let anything happen to you baby. I'm right here. You're safe. Just a little more then everything will be alright" he said pulling her more close to himself. She just nodded and held him close, her life is dependent on him. Her nails dug deep into his skin.

The elevator started and finally they were going up to the penthouse. He immediately told his guards to call the doctor for Arohi.

The elevator's door opened and Abhishek picked up Arohi in bridal style and took her to his room. He put her on the bed and turned on the AC.

He took a cold water towel and wiped off her sweat. She was still shaking and breathing heavily. He made her drink water and then lay on the bed and caressed her hairs.

The doctor arrived and checked her thoroughly.

"How.. how's she doctor?" Abhishek asked.

"Mr. Mehra your wife is fine now and is sleeping. She is a little weak, but she will be perfectly fine in a day or two. She just needs proper rest" doctor replied

"Okay doctor, thank you" he said and the doctor left.

Abhishek POV:

I went to my room and laid next to her, caressing her hair. The face that always glows and shines is now looking so weak and pale.

It's been more than a month and a half of my marriage with Arohi. I am used to bickering, fighting and fierce Arohi.

When everyone fears to even say a word to me, my wife snaps me back everytime. She never fears me or anything.

But today she was terrified in that elevator. The way she was shivering and sweating.. Seeing gasping for breath made my heart churn.

What if she was alone? What if I wasn't there? What if something happened to her? What if something major happened?

Arohi is my responsibility. I can't let anything happen to her. I tightened my hold on her.

"I promise I won't let anything happen to you baby. I will take care of you." I said to her sleeping form.

"Baby? Oh of course she's your baby" my conscience mocked me.

"Shut up you moron" I said.

"Well if I am a moron so are you. You know we're the same right?" I mentally rolled my eyes.

I was deep in my thoughts when Arohi turned and kept her head on my chest and hugged me. I kept patting her head when she snuggled more into me, as if I was a teddy bear.

I covered her properly with the duvet and kissed her forehead and kept her closer. I don't know when sleep engulfed me.

I woke up due to the sudden moments. I opened my eyes to look at Arohi struggling to get out of my hold. We were spooning and she was trying so hard to get out of my hold.

"Sleep Aru. It's just 4 in the morning" I said patting her head.

"Leave me" she struggled more and I tightened my hold on her.

She tried her best but she is not even half my size. At the end she had to give up. I smirked when she leaned back. I snuggled into her neck, her breathing got hitched and she gasped.

"Sleep baby" I said kissing the back of her hair.

She turned and kept her head on her chest and held me. I held her back and we both dozed off.

________________________________________

Arohi and Abhishek were sleeping peacefully in Each other's embrace.

They heard a knock on the door. Arohi squirmed and cuddled more into Abhishek.

Abhishek was the first one to open his eyes due to the knocking, he was going to get up when Arohi cuddled more into him. He stilled himself to make sure she doesn't wake up.

He picked up his phone and checked with his buttler to know what the matter was. He told him that Mrs. Annie came to call them for breakfast, when they both didn't come downstairs.

He checked the time, it was half past eight. He was late for office and Arohi for college. He was going to wake her up but then he saw her angelic sleeping self.

He shook his head and texted his assistant that he is taking a day off.

Well of course how can he disturb his wife's precious sleep and especially when she is hugging her teddy bear.

He checked his mail while his other hand played with her hair.

.........................................................................

An hour later Arohi woke up. Her blanket felt so warm. She wanted to stay in the bed forever.

She slowly opened her eyes. She was confused to see the surroundings, this wasn't her room. She tried to recall last night's happenings.

Abhishek. Mehra Mansion. Elevator. Panic attack. Abhishek

She slowly turned her head up and saw her devilish handsome husband doing something in his phone while she was all snuggled into him. Her head was resting on his bare chest. His one hand was under her head which was playing with her hairs.

Her lips parted as she looked at him. This is first time she is slept with him like this.

Abhishek felt her gaze on him, he smirked and said "Stop staring creepo"

Her eyes widened and she looked away "I.. I wasn't staring" she said clearing her throat.

"Yes of course. You were gazing right?" He said and she smacked him which made him chuckle.

He kept his phone away and held her with his both arms and kissed her hair.

"How are you feeling now?" He asked

"Better"

"So you want to get up or snuggle more into your teddy?" He asked with a smirk.

Her eyes widened and she sat up straight. "I am up. What time is it?" She asked face palming herself.

"It's 10" he replied and she jerked her head to his direction. "WHATT" she shouted.

"Why didn't you wake me up? Oh god I'm so late" she removed the duvet and got up in haste but suddenly her head started feeling full and she felt dizziness. She held her head and sat.

"Are you okay Aru? Is it hurting too much?" He asked holding her from back. He pressed her head lightly with his fingers.

"I.. I am fine Mr. Mehra"

Abhishek didn't like her formal behaviour. He liked the way she called him "Abhi" last night. But now they are again back to square one.

"You are weak and you need to rest Aru" he said cupping her face.

"Arohi" she said removing his hands. He frowned. "Doctor told you to take rest"

"I am fine Mr. Mehra and I don't need rest. I am going to the college" she stood up and started moving towards the door.

Abhishek turned her and pinned her to the dorr frame. "You. Are. Not. Going. Anywhere" he said in a seriously cold tone. Shivers ran down her body.

"You are no one to tell me what to do or not" she replied in the same tone as his, looking straight into his eyes.

"Why do you have to be so stubborn Arohi"

"Why do you have to control my life?" She asked "See whatever you did yesterday for me I am thankful for it. But that doesn't give you the authority or something over me Mr. Mehra" she completed.

"I am you husband and I have the authority over you Mrs. Abhishek"

"Seriously?" She asked with chuckle. "I am not your slave or employee that you have authority over me" she announced.

"Well you can check the marriage certificate wifey. I have all the rights over you wifey." He said tugging her hair strands behind her hair. "Take a rest for today. From tomorrow you can go to your college okay" she just nodded, a deep red blush forming on her face.

"I.. I want to.. fres.. freshen up, so le.. leave me" she said stuttering. His proximity was doing something to her, the feeling was unknown to her.

Abhishek's hold loosened on her and moved back putting his hands on his pocket. She turned and ran to her room. Her heart beating frantically in her rib cage.

Abhishek just chuckled at her. He liked his effect on her. She might act all fierce but his proximity does affect her way too much.
