39.
Naina slowly opened her eyes with difficulty. She weakly turned her face to her right. Her heart skips a beat when her sleepy eyes widen seeing tiny feet through the gap of the baby cradle.
Tears rolled down from her eyes in happiness as she saw her baby sleeping covered in a lilac color blanket but his tiny feet peeking from it.
She tried to move but she felt pain all over her body, especially her lower body. So she looked at her baby's cute little feet with adoration and a smile.
"Oh, finally mumma woke up, huh," she turned her head toward the door to see Ranveer coming inside. She smiles widely while hearing him.
He sat beside her bed on the stool and pecked her head.
"How are you feeling? Is it paining somewhere," She shook her.
"I am okay,"
"Wanna see our baby boy," she smiled lightly.
Ranveer walks to the cradle and carefully picks the sleeping baby in his arms.
"Let's meet your beautiful Mumma," he whispered to the baby and walked to Naina with a tiny human being in his hands.
He gave him to Naina who instantly wrapped her hands around him protectively. She looked at his little chubby face and smiled with tears.
She looks up at Ranveer who is adoring the beautiful sight.
"H..he is so beautiful," Ranveer slowly nodded his head and wrapped his one arm around the baby.
"He is…just like you," she cried in happiness and kissed her baby's chubby kiss lovingly.
She cuddles the baby to her chest and leans against Ranveer's chest.
Naina looks at her sleeping sons with a beautiful smile on her face. She lightly brushes her fingers on his little button nose, his long eyelashes and chubby cherry red cheeks. She giggles when he pouts cutely as she touches his little bow lips.
"I love you, my Jaan," she whispered softly and kissed his tiny fist.
She heard the door open and turn to see Ranveer coming inside with her breakfast.
"Come eat your dinner before his highness wakes up again," she chuckled and sat beside him on the sofa.
"Did you eat your breakfast?" she asked as she was about to take a bite of rice.
"Not yet but I will eat after you," she sighs and forwards the spoon to him.
He looked at her and then at the spoon with surprise.
"Eat it,"
He opened his mouth in a daze.
She smiled slightly at his expression. She looks down and takes a deep breath, she faces him.
"Whatever I said in the delivery room is true, Ranveer," she said in a low voice staring into his surprised and bright eyes.
"I don't know how but I fell in love with you. I love you Ranveer," she confessed, holding his hands in her.
"I love you too, Naina," he said with a smile, making her shocked and emotional.
"I will love you forever, Naina," he whispered and joined their foreheads. They smile happily, finally feeling complete with each other.
He kisses her forehead lovingly making her close her eyes in peace.
Naina was smiling while looking at Rajveer and Urmila taking rounds around the holy fire.
She heard cute giggling that made her look at her side to see Rajveer and Veer, who is only 5 months old, playing and giggling with each other.
She chuckles seeing Veer laugh hastily when Ranveer pokes his button nose softly.
"Instead of enjoying the wedding, you guys are busy with your play," she said. Both of them look at her the same. Veer let out a cooed, looking at her while Ranveer smiled at her.
After some time Naina stood up making Ranveer look at her in question.
"Washroom,.." she said, making him nod.
Naina was washing her hands when suddenly the door opened and instantly shut with a loud sound. Naina turns in shock to get more shocked looking at raging Deepti coming toward her.
"Deep-" before she could complete her word her face turned to the other side and a slap sound was heard inside the washroom.
"You bloody wh***, you…you destroyed my life. You snatch everything from me. You snatch my Ranveer, my love. Just because of you he broke our engagement. Only because of you, you b****. I won't leave you. I will kill today," Deepti shouted like a crazy person while choking her.
Naina tried to escape her and tried to loosen her hands around her throat while struggling in her hold. She digs her nails into her wrist but her grip stays firm.
To save herself, Naina stabs her heel on her foot, making her back off feeling immense pain in her foot.
Deepti looks at her with pain and hatred. Naina tried to run away from there but Deepti grabbed her hair before she could reach the door.
Naina let out a cry in pain while begging her to leave her.
"Deepti, please leave me. I know whatever happened to you was not right. And I am sorry for the pain and heartbreak you went through. We can talk calmly. Ahh!" Deepti tightens her hold her hair and laughs evilly.
"Talk, huh? There is nothing left to talk about. Today I will kill you," saying Deepti pulled out a knife tucked in her lehenga.
Naina looked at her with shock and wide eyes. Deepti gave her wicked smile.
"DEEPTII!!?" Suddenly Sumitra comes inside with a horrified expression and frees Naina from her. As her hands left her hair, Naina fell on the floor, feeling her body shaking badly.
"What was that Deepti? Do you want to go to jail, huh?" Sumitra shouts at her daughter, feeling frustrated with her.
Deepti broke into tears in her mother's arms making Sumitri sigh at her daughter's condition.
Sumitra looks at the frozen Naina sitting on the floor and glares at her.
"Now you must be happy destroying my daughter's life, huh? See what has to be done to her. She became crazy just because of you. I know very well all your drama from the very start," Naina looked at her with a frown.
"Don't act like an innocent. I know all that rape drama you have done to gain sympathy and attention from Rajvansh family. You have your eyes on their properties that why you have fake that rape, right?" Naina looked at her in shock and disbelief.
Does she think this about me? Am I this low and cheap woman in her eyes?
Naina stood on her feet with difficulty by holding the wall for support.
"And don't know whose dirty blood that your bas**** son. Girls like you are nothing but home wreckers. Don't know how many homes you have broken by warming the bed for men. Women like you can only become a bed warmer, not the wife or mother.
If you have little shame left in you then go kill yourself and that bas-"
"ENOUGH!!! Stop right there. If you utter one more word about my son I won't think twice before pulling your tongue out. Whatever you said I was tolerant because I was trying to understand your and your daughter's pain but that doesn't mean I am weak. My son is not a bas*****. He has a father,
Ranveer Singh Rajvansh. Be thankful that my husband didn't hear your word or he would have killed you with his bare hands for calling his son with names. Next time I hear a thing about me and my character I won't be this calm,
get that in your head and instead of wasting your time in humiliating me take your crazy daughter to some doctor. She really needs help, " Sumitra was shocked looking at the bold and strong Naina.
She can't believe her ears hearing her strong and clean voice like a lioness roar.
Naina gave them a look before she walked out. Sumitra clenches her teeth tightly in anger before looking at her lost daughter with teary eyes.
"Naina, soon I will break your this ego. I will make sure you regret hurting my daughter," she muttered to her through her teeth.
Naina comes inside the room and closes the door before she slides against the wall and sits on the floor. The hand fist her Saree tightly as she bursts into tears remembering the cruel words of Sumitra.
"It's not my fault. I am not a who**. I am not!!!" she screams in pain as those words revolve in her head.
Suddenly the door opens and Ranveer comes in but he gets worried seeing Naina crying bitterly sitting beside the door.
"Naina!!!" He ran to her and took her in his warm embrace.
"What happened? Why are you crying love? Tell me, …" he took her small face between his palms and gently brushed her tears away.
"It's not my fault, Ranveer, is it?" she innocently asks him, placing her palms over his hands on her face.
Ranveer frowned at her question, not getting it.
"First stop crying then we'll talk, okay?" he softly said, caressing her cheek with his thumb.
"No!! tell me is it my fault..tha..t I was raped, huh?" she desperately asked him, making him shocked and angry.
What nonsense is she saying? And who the hell feeds her this?
"Are you mad, Naina? It was clearly and absolutely not your fault. Nothing is your fault, you understand," he told her with fire in his eyes and firmness in his tone.
Her mind felt peaceful and secure. She hugged him tightly, hiding her face in his crook of neck. She closed her eyes and let her silent tears flow freely wetting his neck with her tears.
After sometime when she calm down and resting her head on his shoulder, Ranveen suddenly asked,
"Where does this question come from? Didn't I make myself clean before, huh?" She didn't say anything for a minute. She slowly raises her head and looks into his eyes with unknown emotion. Biting her lower lips she said something which shook him.
"I wanted to become yours in every way. I want us to take our marriage to the next step…as in physically," she said in her clean voice as now she is ready to embrace him and his love in every possible way.
"Wha..at?!" Ranveer stuttered and gulped in anticipation, understanding the meaning behind her words.
"Yes Ranveer. I am ready," He stares into her eyes to find any hesitation but finds nothing except for love and confidence in her eyes.
His lips curve in a charming smile and he kisses her forehead gently before looking at her shy smile.
"I love you, Naina," she looked at him with adoration and placed her lips lightly on his cheek.
"I love you, Ranveer," she whispered.
