I felt someone tapping my cheek lightly and heard the familiar voice, "Mita...Mita...."

I tried to open my eyes. The tear stains blocked my eyesight that's why I blinked my eyes to adjusted. Finally, I saw him. I tried to smile, "Shlok."

He nodded with ensure smile and asked with concern, "Mita, are you injured?"

He opened the rope which were tied on my hands and legs. I shook my head, "No, but my body is stiffed."

He nodded and helped me to stand up but I couldn't stand properly. I didn't know since when I was tied there.he asked me with concern, "Do you need me to carry you."

I shook my head, "It's ok. I can walk." Shlok said, "Let's go from here."

I nodded and I saw that injured man who was tied with me also untied and he and other man were covering us.

I didn't know how Shlok reached there and I didn't want to know. I want to go home and slept on bed.

We passed by a hall. I thought it's only a way to exit because I looked karan was there with his men. They had weapons otherside I saw middle aged man with his mask man. They also had weapon. If it was only tv serial scene or any novel scene, I enjoyed. But it was happening in reality. I was scared. I was scared for karan. I looked Shlok with worried eyes. He put his finger on his lips to keep quiet. I knew I shouldn't talk anything in that suitation otherwise I would create more problems for them.

I took deep breath and nodded. I should have trust on karan. I didn't understand completely but I could guess few things. As we took steps towards exit, few mask men stopped us who has weapons.

Shlok and my side had only two men while one was injured but otherside had four men. It means we are on weak side. Shlok hid me behind him for protect me. I had no courage to come forward.

A mask man shouted, "Boss, they tried to escape."

Everyone looked towards us. I looked towards karan and our eyes met. I saw many emotions into his eyes. I felt warm inside my heart.

The middle aged man said with excitement looking towards me, "Well... Well... the main lead came herself."

Karan warned him with anger, "Ashok, She is innocent. Why don't you let her go? It's between both of us. I am here."

The middle aged man whose named is Ashok laughed loudly, "My wife was also innocent. Do you think I will let her go? My wife is death so she will also die."

Ashok pointed his gun towards me while karan pointed his gun towards Ashok. I knew shlok wanted to protect me but a masked man held him. I was so scared that I closed my eyes. I heard the voice of gun shot one after another. I closed my eyes tightly and waited for bullet. But I felt someone hugged me tightly. Without opening my eyes, I could tell who was the person. How is it possible? Because he was standing a far from me. I opened my eyes for confirm and met his concern eyes. I noticed his lips moving ups and down. There was loud voice of firing. When I noticed what he was asking, I nodded. I held my tightly into his embrace and kissed on my forehead, "Let's go from here."

I nodded. He instructed Shlok and his team, "take care of them." They nodded and he took me out from that building. We sat in car and I asked with concern, "What about shlok and others, karan?"

He started engine and replied, "Don't worry. They will be fine." He put my hairs behind my ear and asked again, "Are you injured?"

I shook my head, "No, i am fine."

He nodded and the car started to run on road. I closed my eyes and the scene was playing into my mind one after another. I was so exhausted. I knew I was safe now with him but I couldn't help but shivered after recalled what happened there.

I didn't know when I slept.

I woke up when I felt someone unbuckled my seat belt. I opened my eyes and looked him. He carried me into his arms. I said into low voice, "I can walk myself." And put my hand on his arm but I heard the hissed voice from his voice. I felt something wet on my hand which gripped on his arm. I widened my eyes and looked at my palm doubtfully. I cried, "Karan, are you hurt?" I didn't notice he was hurt. I struggled to come out from his arms. He let me go. When I stood straightly on my legs, he replied, "It's small. I am really alright."

I looked at his arm which was bleeding. Even he bide the cloth on his injured arm but there was blood. How can it small? I looked at him and gulped my saliva, 'doesnt he feel hurt?'

He took my hand into his hand and said with ensure, "Mita, I am really fine. Let's go inside."

I nodded and I noticed we were at his home. When we came into hall, Sameera and doctor were waiting for us. Sameera came to me and hugged me, "Are you alright?"

I nodded with teary eyes, "Yeah, I am fine but he is injured."

Sameera left me and asked him with concern, "Bro, are you injured?"

He didn't reply to her but said to doctor, "Examine her completely if she is injured."

I said with taking deep breath, "Karan, seriously, I am not injured but you need treatment first. Please."

He looked at me when he was sire I am serious, he nodded.

The doctor examined his injury. Sameera and I was nervous when we saw his injury while doctor was examined. Karan's face was pale. I can say surely he was in pain.

After examined, the doctor told, "the bullet passed from your arm that's why it's not deep. But you need to take care of your injury."

After prescribing medicine and treating his arm, the doctor left. Sameera and I settled karan into his room.

Sameera told me, "You take bath then come to eat."

I nodded and she left. I went to bathroom for taking shower because my clothes were dirty and there was sweating smell from me. After taking shower, I came out from bathroom. I looked Karan was shivering.

I sat on bed while stroking his hairs with my hand, "Karan, do you want to change?" His body was hot with fever. The doctor gave him medicine to decrease the fever and pain but he was shivering with pain and fever.

He nodded and I went to bathroom for wet towel. I took out his clothes from wardrobe. He said in low voice, "Give me. I can myself." Thank god, he was conscious otherwise it's hard for me. I only helped him to dry bath and changed his clothes.

After it, I helped him to lay down while I sat on bed with patting. He said in his low voice, "Mita, I am sorry."

I stroked my fingers into his hairs. I said while try to smile, "Karan, it's not your fault."

He tried to say, "But..." I cut him off, "Karan, try to sleep. It will help you to ease pain and decrease your fever."

He nodded and closed his eyes. I sat there like it for few minutes. When I noticed he really slept, I left the room.

I came out dinning table where Sameera was waiting for me. She waved her hand towards me, "Natasha, come fast otherwise it will be cold."

I nodded and we started to eat. Sameera asked, "Are you really alright?"

I nodded. Then she asked, "How is he?"

I told her while gulping my food, "He is sleeping now. Did Shlok call? How is he?"

She replied, "he is fine. He told everything is under control."

I nodded then she added, "Natasha, if you want to ask anything or tell something, you know I am here for you."

I nodded, "I know. Sameera, give me some time."

She nodded and we ate silently after it. After eating, I came to room where karan was sleeping but there was sweats beads on his forehead. I took the fresh towel and wiped carefully. I wrapped quilt carefully around him and laid on bed other side.

It was evening time and slept enough that's why I was not sleepy. I knew it was nobody's fault. I turned towards karan who was sleeping soundly. I was sure I love him. Even, I don't care what's the truth. I held his hand into my hand.

At night, I felt movement on bed. I was not sleepy soundly that's why I woke up. I looked karan was trying to sit. I sat down immediately and asked him, "Karan, do you need something?"

He replied, "No, I want to go washroom."

I helped him to sit and said, "Let me help you."

I send him to bathroom and said, "If you need something, call me."

He nodded and I left. I waited him to come out. When he came out, I went to him and took his arm. I helped him to sit and asked with worried, "How are feeling? Are you feeling pain? Let me take your temperature."

He took my hand with his uninjured hand and said with smile, "Mita, it's ok. I am really fine."

The tears came into my eyes. I said with hoarse voice, "I am worried for you."

He made me sit on bed beside him and wrapped his arm around my waist. I put my head on his chest. I felt his temperature was normal. I felt relieved.

We sat there like it for few seconds. I recalled he didn't eat since we came back. I raised my head and asked, "Are you hungry?"

But He asked me, "Did you eat?"

I nodded, "Yeah, Sameera and I ate at evening."

He looked at wall clock and said, "then let's eat."

We came to dinning table. I was wondering to look there was bowls on dinning table. And the food was hot that's why I don't need to reheat. It seemed Sameera left it for us.

I served two plates for us and we started to eat. Karan asked while eating, "Mita, if you want anything, you can ask."

I knew what he wanted to say. I took deep breath and told with surety, "Karan, I don't want to know anything. I trust you."

He looked at me with surprised and asked again, "Are you not curious to know what happened there? Why did he kidnap you?"

I bit my lower lip and shook my head, "No, I am not curious." After taking deep breath, I continued, "Karan, do you know when I was there, what I was thinking? There was only one thought into my mind why I was stupid that I wasted so much time to decide to marry you. When I know clearly that I only love you. If I will marry someone in this life, it's only you.

There was only regret into my mind that why didn't I marry you till yet? Karan, in future if I die, I want to die as your wife."

Karan stood from his chair and put his lips on my lips.

After kissing, we were panting. He scolded me while controlling his breath, "Mita, never think about die, understood? Do you ever think about me? What will I do without you?"

I smiled and took his face into my hands, "I was only telling you what was I thinking."

He put his lips again on my lips.

The following morning,

The doctor came and checked his bandage. He told, "The injury is fine but need to take care few days till it will heal completely."

After it, the doctor left. I told Karan and Sameera, "My family would be worried that's why I need to go."

Karan wrapped his uninjured arm around my waist and pulled me towards himself, "You are bold after one night. Hmmm? Did you forget how you were scared and worried last night?"

I blushed when I recalled what happened last night. If he was not injured, then...

I pushed him away lightly and said with seriously, "Karan, my family would be worried for me. And you know my parents will be angry if they got to know we are staying into one room before marriage."

Karan asked with hurt expression, "then who will take care of me when I am injured? By the way, We are getting married in the end of month."

I heard Sameera voice, "Actually, I informed uncle and aunty that you are staying with us. Natasha, you will safe here that's why they agreed. So you don't need to worry."

I smiled and thanked her. She smiled back but said with serious tone, "by the way, both of you should control yourself in front of others. Bro, you are injured that's why I am letting it go this time."

When I understood what she was saying, I felt embrassment. I lowered my head to hide my embrassment.

But karan said nonchalantly, "Why should we control ourselves? We are getting married and we are young. That's why it's natural. If you have problem, then find boyfriend yourself and get married soon."

Sameera glared him and left. I looked at him speechless. He looked at me and smirked, "Why are you looking at me like it? Do you want to continue where we left last night?"

I was blushed deeply and hit lightly on his chest and scolded him, "Karan, you are injured."

He hissed with pain, "ouch, it's hurt."

I panicked that I hit strongly unconsciously. I rubbed where I hit and asked with concern, "I am sorry karan. I didn't mean it."

He took my hand into his hand and kissed my hand. I smiled, "I was kidding."

I tried to be anger that's why I glared him but looking his dazzling eyes, I smiled.

After two weeks,

Our marriage was destination marriage. Only few and close relatives are invited into our marriage. The reason was first, the venue was far from our place and second, karan said it's for my safety.

After that incident, karan didn't want to take any risk for my safety.

We took our vows like other normal couples but the difference is the flower petals were showering from sky by private jet. Karan and I took our seven vows with taking eachother's hand. I looked my parents, his parents and our siblings. Everyone was happy for us. My heart felt warm when I looked Karan's smiling face when we were taking vows.

I never thought that one day I met a person who loved me so much and I also love him so much. I was feeling blessings that I met him and find my true love.
