Chapter 21 His care
Vanya's pov
I woke up from sleep and saw him sleeping beside me at a safe distance. I was thinking of going for my morning Jog. I stood up from bed and stretched my body ready to go until he tucked my wrist.
"Where do you think you're going?" he asked with his cold and raspy tone.
"For jogging!" I replied being obvious.
"And who gave you the permission!" he asked.
Now who the hell is someone to give me permission. Me!
"I don't need anyone's permission!" I arrogantly said.
"You're not supposed to take any stress" he said in a serious tone. Concern was evident in his voice. I sighed.
"Aaryaant I'm not taking any stress..it's just I'm fed up with being in these four walls... please I'll come back soon." I said trying to make him understand.
"Ok then let's go together" he said getting up and stretching his muscles.
"You know you don't have to" I assured him.
"And you know it's my time for jogging so I'm joining you. Now shut up and let's go." he shushed me.
After freshening up we left with our luke warm lemon water bottles.

The entire time aaryaant was scolding her to keep her speed slow and if she'll not he'll not allow her to walk further. She reluctantly obeyed him and they came back.
Vanya went to another room and got ready in a simple grey co-ord set. She was doing her hairs when aaryaant entered with her morning dose of medicine and a glass of water. He was leaning on the door adoring her. He's seeing her in casuals for first time. She's always in her formals but now that she knows he won't let her go anywhere till she gets fine, she opt for casuals. She met his gaze and he strode towards her with an expressionless straight face. She looked at him trying to understand him but he handed her medicine. She had her dose and before she could say anything he left.
Aaryaant was making broccoli and stilton soup for Vanya. Ariv and vartika entered the kitchen and saw him making soup.
"I feel like there's something between vanu di and Bhaiyah" Ariv whispered.
"There's definitely something! I can't disagree after seeing bhaiyaah's reaction when he got to know that her injuries will take time to heal as they are internal." she said glancing at him.
"Good morning bhaiya" they wished him coming towards him.
"Morning.... How's you vartika?" he wished with a smile and asked her.
"I'm totally fine and I know I don't need to worry about di as you're here..right!" she said before aaryaant could say something making him smile while nodding.
"Breakfast is ready, call everyone to the dining area." aaryaant said. They nodded and left to call everyone.
Everyone is present at the dining table except Vanya and aaryaant.
"Where's Vanya?" aaryaant asked coming out of the kitchen with butlers carrying the dishes.
"She's on a call" Ariv said making him angry. He strode towards her room and pushed open the door glaring at her.
"What's up with you Vanya Kapoor!....I strictly told you not to touch any phone or laptop! Then why?" he exclaimed getting angry on her.
"Aaryaant I was just informing my PA to postpone meetings!" she tried to make him understand.
"You could have asked me or any of us" he said calming a little. She nodded and tried to make an excuse but couldn't give any.
"Let's go for breakfast everyone must be waiting!" she said diverting him. He looked at her sternly for good 5 seconds then left holding her hand.
"Eww who made this... I'm not gonna drink this!" Vanya exclaimed as soon as aaryaant served her soup. And the next second silently started having her soup seeing aaryaant glaring her.
"It's soo good to see vanu dii is atleast scared of someone!" vartika chimmed.
"I'm not scared of anyone" Vanya exclaimed arching her eyebrow at her. Aaryaant cleared his throat making Vanya look at him. He was giving her a 'you're scared of me' look while she was just side glancing him.
"We know that very well" the others sarcastically said.
"Just eat your breakfast and leave everyone...I have a lot to work on!" Vanya said.
"You're not doing anything!" they said altogether. She flinched at first but then nervously glanced at them.
"I mean you all have a lot to work!" she said trying to coverup. Everyone suspiciously looked at her and then nodded.
After breakfast everyone retired to their respective works. And aaryaant left to his study. He in no way going to leave her alone.
