One doesn't have to debate much over the feelings of dread that rise in one's heart when they are surrounded by constant fears in their heart and mind, because it is absolutely understandable that your senses are blocked. It is a fact which surrounds our human world, that fears are the worst creations of our own minds which when reside in our soul then it becomes inevitable to destroy them until you have removed every existence of evil from your life. People think that by plotting and planning, they are creating examples of powerful people but the truth is that, they are only creating examples of soul-less people who doesn't feel an ounce of pain when they trouble the others. But given that, if some don't care about anyone's emotions, then it doesn't mean that the rest of world will also turn heartless and won't feel the pang in their heart on being tortured or when their love is tortured. No matter how harsh situation becomes, if your aim is honest and respectful then definitely that almighty will pave a way for you to fight off the demons of the world and shield your soul mate like a rock, which helps you to fight the tides of the sea.

Two days! Was the exact time since Anant got that horrible nightmare, of losing navya forever and since then his entire body was riding a drive of tension, anger, frustration, helplessness and pain. A deep and excruciating pain, which was his constant partner now, because every time his navya would look at him, his guilt used to overpower his heart and soul for lying to her for something which concerned her, but his insecurity to lose her was clouding his mind without fail.2

It was past midnight, when he sat up straight with a jerk on his bed sweating profusely, after experiencing the nightmare again, but the only difference being that every time his voice in real would be stuck in his throat, whereas in the dream he would be calling out her name for his life.1

He wiped off the sweat, and turned to his left, to see navya sleeping peacefully with a soft smile on her lips. He sighed in relief for once, and bending his head down, he planted a soft kiss on her lips and moved back as she stirred in her sleep.

He shifted back a little, and rested his head on the headboard, closing his eyes trying to fight off the stress which was bursting his head. He had only two days left, and still he wasn't sure whether to go ahead in his plan or not. On one side, it was navya's self respect and pride and on the other side, it was their love, their marriage and her trust on him at stake. Can he afford to lose her like this?1

Before he could think more, he felt her soft lips on his knuckles and he opened his eyes to see her holding his hand while she smiled softly at him. She scooted closer to him, resting her head on his chest as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

"Anant, I am noticing since two days, something is eating you up but you are smiling for me. You don't have to hide from me, please tell me what is troubling you?" She asked caressing his chest a little while his body froze hearing her words which didn't go unnoticed by her. She looked up to stare at his face, to see his tensed face.12

She sat up straight and cupping his face, she made him look at her, while he avoided eye contact with her. Every time, he would meet her eyes, he would feel that he was cheating on her. Even though he was not doing anything sinful, but lying to the girl who loved him more than herself was more or less equal to cheating only in his eyes.

"If you won't tell me the reason of your trouble now, then I will start crying," she warned seeing him still quiet and he immediately looked into her eyes to see tears already brimming in them and he pulled her to himself, hugging her tightly.1

"Don't cry Moonlight. Please I am sorry. It's just I had a bad dream, and since then I got a headache. That's it. Nothing more!" He assured her as she parted from him and she sighed in relief. She was dreading that something horrible happened which he was trying to hide from her, but now hearing his reason, she felt a little relaxed that he was not in any other trouble.+

"Ohh, only this much problem and here I was thinking all sorts of nonsense. Silly me!" She smacked her head with her palm and he smiled faintly not wanting to make her doubt him.

"Come lay down. I will give you a super cool massage and your all bad dreams will go away". She suggested pointing to her lap. He obliged laying down, closing his eyes, as she massaged his scalp with her one hand while he held her other hand close to his lips and soon sleep engulfed him.

Navya shifted his head slowly, to his pillow and covering him properly, she planted a kiss on his forehead.

"I just wish whatever you are hiding from me, you get enough strength to reveal it to me because I know you are lying to me but I won't ask you back, because I can't worry you when already there is so much going on around us". She mused mentally, staring at his face with painful eyes. She knew, to hide one truth he was lying to her every second but she also knew that, if he was masking something then it is surely very harsh, which he was not able to reveal but she will never doubt him, no matter what happens.2

No matter how many lies he tells her, she knew she wasn't ever going to lose her faith in him because if navya started doubting her Anant, then it would only mean that she was doubting the universe and how can someone doubt the universe?1

"When do you plan to introduce her as your wife?" nimisha asked the next morning as they all sat to have breakfast, while the four Bahpai's stood in the side, dressed in the uniforms shooting daggers at navya who was oblivious to everything.

"Tomorrow in the press conference as I am leaving for Delhi in the night". He answered and all stared at him in shock, except of nimisha who already knew about his plan.

"Delhi? But why?" navya asked confused as she wasn't even aware of any happenings, while Anant side glanced to see rama smirking at mohan who was giving amused looks to his parents.1

"Ohh, I forgot to tell you, there is my one friend, who is going through financial crisis, so I have to go to Delhi for four days. I will leave tomorrow night". He explained and her face fell, as all the excitement to attend the Ball with him left her body. Now what will she do alone in that stupid Ball? Anant sensed her upset face and to lighten her mood, he added, "But you are definitely going to the Ball. And I don't want to hear anything on this. You have just signed two new shows, so it's necessary for you to attend the public gatherings. And don't worry, nimi and Sarthak will accompany you".

She nodded still not happy, that he didn't tell her about his departure before, but the more prominent topic in that moment, was that he won't be there with her in her first Ball.

"What type of ridiculous coffee is this?" Anant yelled frustrated sipping the coffee, then all of a sudden he threw it infront of rama's feet, making her jump back, before the hot liquid could touch her, but Anant so wished that it would have burned her there.

"Don't you even know how to make a damn coffee, you good for nothing woman? What are you good at, apart from bitching around and doing sadistic activities?" He screamed standing up on his feet, as navya and nimisha followed his league while the four looked at him appalled.1

"Now what are you staring at, clean this bloody mess now or do you want me to get an invitation for you?" He ordered burning his angry gaze in all of them. He couldn't confront them openly, for their disgusting act due to navya's presence, but he had vowed to make their life hell by torturing them.1

"And listen carefully all four of you, if you want to stay here, then stay in limits only, or else be ready to be thrown out on the streets soon!" He warned and giving one last glare to them, he walked out of the living room, before navya could question him anything because he saw, a number of questions crossed her face in that moment, and he didn't have any answer for it.

"What's wrong with him? All of a sudden, he has closed himself. Please God, keep my Anant safe".navya prayed as she entered their room, later in the noon. She has been hell busy in her rehearsals from past two days, hence she decided to relax a little for a day, since they have to answer hell loads of query of media the next day and she was sure that they were going to fire all sorts of tricky questions.

Before, she could think more, she heard a mocking voice, "Seems Anant got bored of you pretty fast that is why he seems to be more than frustrated these days and look, he is going out but he didn't even informed you. Poor Navya".

Navya turned to see sughanda and rama standing there with smirks on their faces. She gave them blank looks because glares are for enemies and she didn't considered these people worthy enough to be her enemy also.1

"Even if he has got bored, it's my problem right? So why do you care, go party in your cottage. Will suit your troubled nerves which enjoy inflicting misery upon others". She replied confidently as they both walked in shooting daggers at her.

"And next time before entering my room, make sure that you knock on the door because I hate if anyone invades my privacy. Understand?" navya added masking her real self aside, as her anger took over. Every time, she saw their face she could only hear their disgusting words for Anant, and her screams of that horrendous night.1

rama and sughanda gritted their teeth in anger, and sughanda spoke angrily, "You are forgetting your manners. Don't forget that your husband is my son".

"Wow. What a memory you have Mrs. bajpai, you finally remembered that he is your son too? A son whom you didn't wanted to come home because he was ill". navya mocked clapping her hands.1

"He was your son, but now he is only my husband and nimisha's brother. You lost the right to call him son, the day you started considering him a money hen". navya replied angrily emphasizing on every word, while her eyes pierced both the women, who stared at her angrily.

"Now are you both going out or do you want me to tell the guards to pack up your bags and leave you all on the street?" She warned not even wanting their presence around her anymore. She didn't knew why but she felt suffocated all of a sudden.

They glared at her, and turned around on their heels to leave, sharing victorious smirks. Once outside anyone's ear shot, rama whispered, "Today you dared to mock us, soon the entire world will mock you. Then we will see how your darling husband saves you bitch". sughanda gave her an evil smile and they both walked off to do their respective works.1

So much was their hate for one innocent girl that, they didn't even cared of the fact that they too were women only, and how could they even think of damaging other girls reputation.

On the other side, Anant stood infront of the lake under the Howrah Bridge in the evening as his eyes gazed at the fire he had ignited to burn every single memory of him with his family.

He threw the photographs in the fire, with his eyes burning every single face, in the flame of his hate and rage.

"Today I Anant Bajpai do the funeral of the son in me. I kill every shred of emotions that are attached with you all and from today onwards, I am only a husband and lover who will go to the end of the world to protect my Navya". He vowed in his mind, already planning to make their lives hell once he gets his hands on the laptop.1

"I was an idiot to feel hurt for hurting you people, but now no more. For hurting monsters and heartless people like you, even God is not going to feel bad so who am I?" He added after a while sitting on the rock, staring at the ashes of the photographs which was now visible as it started raining heavily extinguishing the fire.

"This press conference is organized to inform you all that I am no longer a bachelor," Anant announced in the morning stepping up on the podium which was set up in the venue decided by him, earlier that day. The entire media gasped in shocked, as they started whispering around.

"So put your hands together for my lovely and gorgeous wife, Navya Anant Bajpai". He declared as navya came out from side room followed by nimisha and Sarthak while media stared at the slim diva clad in a black net saree, with her bridal signs on. They couldn't believe their ears that she was the same girl who was launched a few days back, and now she was already married to the richest man of the city. How?

Anant came forward as navya climbed the steps of the stage, holding his hand, and he lead them towards their seats.

"Sir, why this secrecy in marriage?"

"Ma'am, was his family against your relationship that you both have to marry secretly?"

"You two belong to the same world now, is it affecting your relationship?"

"Where did you got married?"

"How did you two meet?"

The media fired back to back questions while navya stared at Anant feeling lost at words, she held his hand under the table and he assured her by squeezing it back.

"Firstly, will you even let us speak, then only we can answer your queries!" Anant stated with a grinning smirk on his lips making the entire media chuckle. He sure knew how to lighten the environment.

"Well, the reason behind our secrecy is that we didn't wanted any chaos. We both wanted a peaceful wedding and you all also know that, if I would have invited you people then instead of taking my wedding vows I would be answering your queries". He answered laughing at the last part making everyone smile, including navya.

"Ma'am did you both married after your launch?"

"No, we were already married when I got launched. Our wedding wasn't planned. It was in the spur of moment that we decided to tie the knot before I made my debut". navya replied confidently in her sweet voice as the media already started appreciating her calmness.

One of the reporters who was a puppet of Sonia, was shooting glares at navya, and not liking her getting all the attention of the rest of the people, he asked all of a sudden, "So we should assume that you married Mr. Anant for the sake of fame? Isn't it so Mrs. Navya Bajpai?"

navya stared at him in shock while Anants jaw clenched in anger, and he screamed, "The conference is over!"

"Now that I have asked the much needed question, so definitely you will finish it off. Afterall truth is always bitter. So it is true that she had married you for fame!" The reporter concluded while everyone started whispering around, and Anant stood up angrily on his place, and holding navya's hand, he climbed down the stairs to exit the venue. nimisha and Sarthak gave disgusted looks to the reporter because they already got the hint that he was one of the Kapoor's puppet.1

"Tell that princess Kapoor that by asking gross questions to us, she isn't going to win the jackpot!" He commented standing infront of the reporter who was smirking at a teary navya. Why was she being mocked still? When she was a maid then they humiliated her now when she chose this stardom, still they were taunting her. Why type of sadistic world it was?

"Did I do anything wrong by coming in your world?" navya asked Anant, at night as he packed his stuff in their room. The whole day they both didn't had any conversation and neither did Anant talked to her the previous night, since he got wet in the rain, and then he just dozed off after having the dinner while navya understood his tiredness and slept quietly.

Anant walked up to the couch, and sat beside her and taking her hands in his, he spoke calmly, "You haven't done anything wrong. Making an identity for yourself is the best thing one human does to satisfy their heart and soul. You have talent and you are using it in the right direction so how can it be wrong?"

She hugged him tightly, letting out her confused tears and he rubbed her back, wanting to soothe her pain.

"Just a little more love then no one will dare to hurt you. I promise!" He vowed in his mind as he planted a kiss on her forehead.1

"See, in this Emotional Melodrama, I forgot to do the most important thing!" He complained parting from her and she wiped off her tears, as they both stood up.

"What?"

"Sexy Romance!" He answered pulling her to himself with a jerk, by draping his one arm around her waist while his eyes danced in mischief. She controlled her blush as he winked at her, bending his head down to kiss her.2

"You will get late". She reminded him and he ignored her remark, and placed his lips on hers, as she automatically wrapped her arms around his neck and their lips started to move against each other slowly and steadily matching their slow heart beats which relaxed due to their proximity.

For others world was the other countries but for anant and navya, world was in each other's arms.

"You are not upset anymore, right?" He asked as they parted from each other but still held the other in their arms. She nodded a no with a smile because she didn't wanted him to worry when he was leaving for important work.

"I love you!"

"I love you too!"

"Me, more!" He argued.

"No, me more Anant!"

"Me more naya!"

"Me!"

"Me!"

"Anant!"

"Navya!"

They both stared at each other and burst out laughing as they joined their foreheads, while her arms caressed his nape and his caressed her waist with their eyes glued to the other.

"Love birds, romance when he gets back now come out!" They both heard Sarthak's voice from outside, and they looked at each other controlling their heated cheeks.

"Take care of yourself and don't you dare go out alone!" He ordered and she nodded rolling her eyes. He kissed her forehead, and she corrected his coat collars with a sad look on her face because he strictly ordered her to stay indoors hence she wasn't even suppose to accompany him to the airport which was irking her but she agreed for his sake.

"Take him safely!" navya ordered to Sarthak as they both stepped out of their room, while he joined his hands infront of her and replied, "As you say your highness!"

navya hit him on his shoulder making him wince as Anant and nimisha smiled seeing their sibling bond and their eyes brimmed with tears. It was such a pure and sacred bond and their family was hell bent on humiliating it. Didn't their soul mocked them for even once?1

Anant side hugged navya planting a kiss on her temple, and started to walk away with Sarthak. navya stood there watching him leave and her heart started constricting in pain all of a sudden. She couldn't bear to live without him, and now she had to be away from him for four days. How was she suppose to live?

"Are you sure, you want to go ahead?" Sarthak asked as they reached his place where Anant was suppose to hide for two days until he gets the laptop. It was his way to make all of them think that, navya was defenseless and he was nowhere in sight to protect her and he was sure the over confident, Mule heads they were, they were going to be over excited and that is when he will turn the tables.

"Very sure!"

He looked at the pendrive in his hand as an evil smirk formed on his lips, as his master plan ran in his head.

He took out his cell and dialed his security's number, and once the call was lifted he ordered, "Make sure others are around navya and nimisha always. I have decided to play that pendrive in the Ball. It's going to be a blast for their every slap now!"

"Kapoor's are going down for sure!" He ended the call as he and Sarthak exchanged knowing evil looks, as their master plan was in full force to be brought into action now.

As the big night of dinner and dancing proceeds, generally it creates a magnificent environment around for all the youngsters, since they get the chance to go for the one evening with their desired dates, dressed in the color theme with the matching masks on their faces, concealing the real faces behind the mask. It's a night of passion, romance and fun but when the evil ploys are decided to be displayed in this night of passion then it's not fun that is up on the mind, it's the tension, suspense, and mystery that sets the environment and that is why we say, Find a perfect mask and wear it so that no one can identify your real identity as you gear up yourself and embrace your strength to beat the evil in their own game but with a twist in the tale because at times of such actions only, there is a high possibility of things going out of your hand, and you might end up in situations which you didn't thought but it's ironic to say now that it is more like a suspenseful evening and captivating tale for you to decide whether you were on a right step or not.

Navya's excitement for the ball was gradually replaced by the feeling of loneliness, since 24 hours. The subsequent queries that her mind was constantly throwing at her due to Anant's sudden change of behavior as well as his unplanned visit to Delhi, was worrying her to the core. She was so preoccupied in his thoughts that she avoided her rehearsals as well as talking to anyone and simply stayed aloof in her room, trying to find some way out because she knew for sure that he was up to something.

Surely, she didn't posed numerous questions at him like those typical wives who would interrogate their husbands for their every move, but her inner conscience was Scared and Afraid. Afraid that she might lose him forever, and if that happened then she was sure, that she won't live a second longer.1

It was the evening of the Kolkata's biggest yet most awaited Masquerade Ball for the year of 2016. The entire city was in mood of fun, dance and entertainment while navya stood in the room of her balcony, gazing at the lonely moon.

How ironic it was to her that she loved watching the serene sight of the moon in the dark sky, and her love called her as his Moonlight?

"Mumma- Papa, I don't know what is going on around us but all I know is that I trust my love and I have full faith in him that he will never do anything which will hurt me, so please keep him safe," she prayed mentally closing her eyes as a tear roll down her eye and she immediately wiped it away, remembering her promise to Anant to not cry in his absence.2

"Here you are and I have been finding you in the whole house!" She heard nimisha's frantic voice from behind. She turned around to see her standing there with a big grin on her face, while she raised her one brow at her curiously.

"Come in and see for yourself". navya followed her inside to the bedroom area, to only gasp in shock at the sight infront of her which she controlled covering her mouth with her one palm.

There stood a number of different color party gowns, followed by the matching accessories, sandals, clutch in a row, arranged neatly while the two beauticians stood there with the makeup kits in their hands.

"Well your darling husband and my cranky brother has gone a drastic thoughtful therapy so we are to get dressed in these now for the Ball". nimisha teased with a wink, making navya blush in embarrassment as the beauticians gave her amazed looks.

nimisha went ahead to chose her dress, while navya stared at his big portrait that hung on the wall with admiration and just the message beep of her phone, brought her out of her reverie. A big smile formed on her lips as she read his message, "You are the sun in the morning and the moon in the night but I want you to look like a rose tonight. P.S. I should be the first one to see my princess, so don't forget to send me your picture. Missing you Love. Can't wait to be back to you. Your's Awesome and Tubelight Husband".3

She chuckled reading the last part of his message, and quickly typed a short message, and sent it to him," When you wanted me to wear red only, then what was the need of sending so many dresses? P.S. You would have seen me live, if you wouldn't have gone away. Miss you too. Come back soon. Your's and yours Moonlight".

She joined nimisha and both got engrossed in selecting their dresses, and finally after ten minutes both were able to select the perfect ones, matching to their hearts desire, while navya followed her Anant's order specifically.

"Ma'am you look stunning!" The beautician who helped navya to deck up, complimented once she was done with the touch ups. Though navya herself was an expert but she knew that her Anant would feel happy if she gets ready by a professional so how can she even deny his wish?1

"I will take your picture, so you can sent it to Sir". The girl offered and navya smiled realizing that he already instructed them everything beforehand.1

She stood up and posed for a few snaps, and once done the girl passed her the phone as she sent it to her beloved husband, who instantly replied, "I am Dead. P.S. Don't let anyone to stare at you or else I will break their legs. P. PS. I wish I could kiss you now, but sadly have to go. Bye. Have fun and Don't miss me much".

Navya blushed reading his message and before she could even reply, Sarthak and nimisha barged in to only wink at the figure clad in red, who looked ready to kill one and all, but her husband was on the top most list.

"Whoa! Did he died or not?" Sarthak teased as navya hit him playfully on his forearms, while nimisha laughed. She couldn't believe that she was laughing in such tragic scenarios but realizing that her brothers navya was the one who brought smile on everyone's face contrary to the others who were ever ready to hurt her always.

"If you are so keen on dying why don't you get married?" navya teased back to Sarthak who made an annoying face, because like nimisha he was far away from marriage stuff too and also because, he didn't think that being an orphan, anyone would even like to give their daughter to him, so there was no question of marriage. He was happy being independent.2

"Ohh please keep me away from the mess of marriage. I am happy being a bone in between my best friend cum brother in law and my sister cum sister in law". He replied back smirking making navya and nimisha roll their eyes at him.

"Let's Go or we will continue to chat here only and the ball will even get over". nimisha stated logically putting an halt to their chats, and they all made their way out of the room.

"You look beautiful!" navya complimented nimisha, as they both sat in the back seat of the car, while Sarthak sat infront with the driver. She shook her head in amusement at her remark. She was dressed up in a Peach gown will little silver embroidery which was an one side off shoulder dress.1

Seeing them both busy in their talks, Sarthak quickly sent a quick text to Anant who was also now getting dressed up in the black tuxedo, looking devilishly hot and handsome.1

"Just one hour more for your destruction Vikram Kapoor!" He mused putting on his blazer as an evil smile played on his lips, which only screamed payback that will destroy all those who tried to hurt his precious love.

"I am going to leave for the venue while they might be reaching anytime soon. Make sure you all are on your decided places, and keep someone near the system control room so that if by any chance we get late in our mission, then those two are not able to go ahead in their plan. Is that clear?" He ordered on the micro phone, which he was wearing in his ears to his security man.

On receiving the response, he made his way out, towards his car and took his seat on the driver's seat. "I just wish she doesn't recognize my presence around her or else everything will get in a mess," he prayed inwardly closing his eyes for a while then sighing, he ignited the engine, to reach his destination.1

"Wow, this place looks beautiful!" navya complimented stepping out of the car admiring the Ball Venue. They just reached after a ride of twenty five minutes, and she couldn't help but notice the decorations of the place. It was the first time she was witnessing the gorgeous and extravagant beauty of the town which was accompanied by the loud music which made the atmosphere perfect for the night actions and suspense.

It amazed her that she had never seen this before but can she even blame anyone but her twisted life? But now everything was worth her wait, since her husband made everything perfect for her.

"Navya This is for you!" Three kids came running to her with three red roses, and she took them with a smile yet confusion evident on her flawless face which was glowing in the light of the heavenly moon.

She noticed the note attached on all three and the second she turned them around, her eyes gleamed in shyness while her cheeks heated up in embarrassment as the other two gave her knowing looks seeing the content written on the note attached to all three roses.

Rose 1:- I

Rose 2:- Love1

Rose 3:- You

"All should salute our genius Romance King!" Sarthak applauded as the three made their way to the mask stand to select their desired masks, while Navya shook her head at him and started selecting a matching mask for herself. Nimisha and Sarthak both got into argument with an old couple who wanted the same mask as Sarthak but he didn't wanted to compromise.1

Navya was busy examining all, when suddenly she smelled his fragrance around her, as he was stepping out of his car on the back entrance unaware that she already felt him around her.

"Anant!!" She whispered his name softly, closing her eyes as her heart picked up its race, knowing fully well that he was around her, but her mind dismissed away the idea already knowing that he was in Delhi.

"Come on Navya or are you going to stand here!" nimi dragged navya inside the Ball, and she was circulated instantly by the mob of her new fans as well as the media who questioned her about Anant's absence.

"He is out of town for an important work so he couldn't make it to the Ball!" She replied calmly to the reporters not wanting to throw any attitude at them for their previous encounter on the press conference.

It was a negative side of being a celebrity that no matter whether anyone like being queried about their personal life or not, they still have to answer politely or else the next day, the news of one no comment is made into one hot gossip which only gives chance to the people to talk all sorts of gibberish about the celebrity.

navya suddenly felt someone's gaze at her from her left, and she turned to see but to her disappointment, her eyes didn't find anyone. Her eyes scanned the entire dimly lit room in between the crowd of thousands of people who were talking, laughing, eating, dancing, or simply sitting around on the big round tables in groups.1

"What happened?" nimisha asked seeing her lost in thoughts as they were looking around the place taking slow steps to the drink section.

"Amm, nothing!" She replied hesitantly and putting on her mask back, she and nimisha got engrossed in their private enjoyment while Sarthak who understood navya's state, immediately contacted Anant on the micro phone, "Dude, where are you? I think she already got a doubt!"

"I am on the first floor now. I saw her when she was answering the media, maybe that is when she felt my presence". Anant answered waving his hand to Sarthak as he looked up.

"Are those two here?"

"Not yet but they are on the way".

"Make sure navya doesn't go near the entrance nor Sonia comes around anywhere near her". Anant ordered thinking something while Sarthak agreed.

"Sir, the laptop is with Vikram. He is entering from the Door Two. Sonia is wearing some pendrive in her neck now, I heard Vikram talking to her about it to keep it safe. You will have to get that". They both heard the voice of the security man in their ears and Anant gasped in shock and almost yelled, "Neck??"2

"Shit!!" Sarthak cursed.

"Sir, two of us will hit Vikram from back, but Sarthak Sir has to bring him to the lounge area, and we will snatch the laptop but with Sonia, only you can do anything. So please be fast. She is entering from the Door One." The man added explaining the plan which he made with his team.

"I will do it but Anant isn't touching that s**t!" Sarthak stated and admonished the idea immediately, not even liking that his best friend would have to touch some other girl behind his sister's back. Even though it was for her own safety only, but still he couldn't let him proceed with this, knowing fully well that it was fatal to his married life.

"I will do it Sarthak. For navya's sake, i have to do it. She knows that you are in town, and she will fool you easily. The only one she won't be able to fool is me because I will change my ways with her and due to the full mask, she won't be able to recognize me". Anant reasoned calming his nerves already because his whole body felt like it would burn the minute he had to touch someone else. Dancing with troop girls was a different scenario, whereas touching the ultimate problem was a big disaster for him surely.1

"When you have decided then what choice do I even have!" Sarthak stated frustrated already.

"Now, go ask nimisha to take her to the dance floor as she looks pretty upset now and then you go throw acid or cold drink on that leach of a guy!" Anant ordered taking a good look at his navya, who seemed to be lost in her own self only. She missed her Anant badly but the more irritating fact to her was that, she was feeling that he was nearby. How ironic?

"Come on you two beautiful cupcakes, let's dance!" Sarthak offered standing infront of them forwarding his both hands, while even wearing the masks, the girls rolled their eyes at him.

"You will ask us and we will agree, like really?" nimisha teased.

"Then go both if you dance while I will try to find some chick for me". He answered jokingly making navya laugh a little and Anant sighed in relief. He hated seeing her depressed face and he would even kill if she is hurt by any means.

"It's better to let people think that we are lesbians rather than they thinking you as a open two timer!" nimisha added with a hint of sarcasm and humor in her tone and dragged navya to the dance floor before Sarthak could kill her.1

"Why didn't you give me the real acid only?" Sarthak asked pissed examining the glass of alcohol in his one hand, as he marched towards Vikram who was coming from the opposite side, holding the black bag in his hand.

"Go!" Anant ordered and Sarthak purposely dashed into Vikram ruining his shirt completely, and before Vikram could even recognize him, he hid behind the nearest pillar as Vikram cursed under his breath.

"He is making his way towards the lounge to reach to the washroom. Be ready". Anant ordered to the guys who were already hiding in the lounge area.

The minute Vikram entered the lounge, they switched off the lights and the people who were already there from before hand, started whispering around and taking the opportunity the guys hit Vikram on his head from behind, as he fell on the ground and they immediately dragged him out from the back door, while the others switched on the lights and due to the loud music playing in the background no one even got the hint of what perspired in the darkness.1

"Sir, he is with us. He will remain unconscious for a long time probably. Our man is destroying the laptop now!" The guard dictated to Anant and Sarthak as they sighed in relief at their half victory.

"Where is Sonia?" Anant asked as his eyes were glued to his navya only through out. It felt to him as if no one existed any longer for him apart from her and same was the case with her. Though she was smiling and dancing with nimisha and other ladies, who had joined her but her mind was constantly drifting to her Anant.

"On your left!" Sarthak replied seeing her on the first floor as she was making her way towards Anant only, who stood in a corner which was absolutely dark.

"All the best buddy!"

"Time for action, Anant". He mumbled to himself as he put on his mask covering his face entirely, so that she won't even be able to recognize his one glimpse also.

"Ouch!" Sonia winced as Anant purposely dashed in her, hitting on her shoulder all the while feeling disgust towards her as well as himself, that he even have to get close to her a little. But a lot more was yet to come.

"Ohh my, I am extremely sorry darling!" Anant apologized changing his voice a little so that Sonia won't even have the slightest of doubts on him while his heart was already twisting inside the ribcage at the endearment he used for her. Sonia already felt getting attracted to the hot male personality infront of her, whose lips portion was already visible.

"That's fine Mr.," Sonia accepted his apology, touching his biceps while Anant looked at where her hands were placed, and annoyed but masking his frustration, he took her hand in his, as he caressed her knuckles and replied in his sexy accent, "Arthur Davis from UK".

"Sonia Kapoor!" She introduced with a big smile on her lips as she moved closer to Anant now, who cursed her mentally for being a real life pain. He really wondered what type of category she comes from? But the answer was only one, cheap and disgusting.1

"So can I know the reason why this lady in black is not wearing any mask?" He asked sweetly as they started climbing down the stairs. Though, he wanted to go upstairs only, but Sonia made her way down, and not wanting to make her doubt him, he too followed her league all the while dreading the consequences if navya saw him.

"Ohh, you see Mr. Davis I hate these masquerade balls. So annoying!" She replied batting her eyes lashes sweetly at him, and then all of a sudden she linked her arms with Anant shocking him.

"I hope you don't mind because I don't have any date and I saw that you are alone too". She added justifying her actions to him while he left out a silent smile but inwardly he already planned to have a bath with some acid, to kill her disgusting touch from him.

"Ahh, not at all Ms. Kapoor. How can I mind anything by a beautiful girl like you!" He answered as she pulled him to the corner of the room wrapping her arms around his neck, caressing his nape. If he wasn't doing it for his love, the he was sure he would have murdered her by now.

"So I see we are already gelling together!" She stated caressing his chest and to not feel her unwanted, he too wrapped his arms around her waist.

"You are pretty fast. Never expected any Indian to be so fast". He commented.

"Well if an Indian wanted to gel with a foreigner like you, then they have to be fast. Isn't it so?" She replied chuckling and he too chuckled along with her, while his eyes got fixated on his navya who was now visible a little clearly on the dance floor, and before she could look straight in his direction, he pulled Sonia to the lounge area making her squeal in excitement that atleast someone wanted her, after Anant rejected her mirthlessly.2

"Why don't you take out this mask?" She asked as he pinned her to the wall, and her hopes already raised on it's own accord in anticipation of what was to come. She started caressing his chest from one hand, while her hands moved to the mask but he caught her wrist immediately.1

Smirking evily, he replied, "Not so fast!"

"Then how will I see you?"

"What's there to see?"

She grabbed him by his collar, as she nuzzled in his neck, and he pressed his lips in a thin line, controlling his anger and disgust on her for feeling his skin this way.

"Why are you uncomfortable? This all is so much common in your country isn't it so?" Sonia asked as she opened his bow, caressing his nape with her fingers. She was already drunk heavily, as her tone was slurry and Anant was sure that she will already give in the second he touched her a little more. That was the reason, he chose to do it because Sarthak was least into handling a girl.

The lights were switched off suddenly, as Sonia hid her face in Anant's chest, on the pretext if being scared, while he ignored her lips on his shirt, and raised his hand to caressed her neck, so that he could take out the chain, which held the pen drive, which was shaped like a locket.

Sonia's hands moved in his hairs, as she started moving her fingers in his scalp and she got the knot of the mask, as Anant was busy opening the pendant lock, on the pretext of caressing her skin.

She undid the knot on one side, while Anant undid the chain slowly from her neck, as her lips were continuously moving on his chest, and the moment Anant got the locket in his hand, he threw it outside the near by window, as his security stood there to catch it, while the mask fell from his face.1

Just then the lights were switched on, Anant heard a loud gasp from his right, and the second he turned his head to the direction, his body froze to see a wide eyed navya standing there, with disbelief evident in her eyes.

"Anant!" She could only utter lowly, as her one palm covered her mouth, while Anant's head slumped down in guilt as he parted from Sonia with a jerk, pushing her away.

It was the test of her love, her trust, her faith, and above all their sacred bond of marriage!1

This chapter is divided into two parts. This is part 1, the next part is the suspense part which will be posted tommorow

hope no one is hating Anant for touching Sonia. He didn't have any other choice

How stupefying will be the scenario in which you will witness your beloved husband in the arms of someone else? Isn't it one absolutely heart wrenching moment for a girl to find her live with someone else, when she had been thinking all the while about him? The feeling of desolation that emerges in the heart and mind are unexplainable because nothing can explain the hurt, a wife feels when she sees her husband with other woman. But contrary to the actual scenario, there is a saying that, Not always our vision witness the truth, but at times there are deeper and hidden truths behind certain actions which could only be explained with time. The most important step in that moment is to only have faith in one self and their love, because if we lose faith in our relationship then it only means that we are losing faith in the extent of the love and trust we have established so far with our partner. It's a task which is impossible given the scenarios but it isn't unachievable. All one needs is patience and strength, because yelling and creating a scene in such complicated situations, only ruins one's life and now definitely one doesn't want to end up ruining their own created little heaven.7

Blurred vision, parched throat, rooted feet and sweating face were the exact descriptions to explain Navya's current state. Her teary gaze fixated on her Aanant who stood infront of her, with his head hung down in shame not even able to meet her eyes, which was pleading her already to console her but he didn't even have courage to take a step towards her and to explain her his innocence.1

Sonia who had supported herself by holding the wall, now eyed Anant with menace in her eyes and suddenly the realization dawn on her. Her hand went to her neck, and she gulped a lump in throat comprehending the situation carefully that he was aware of their plan.

"Shit!" She cursed in her mind, and just then her eyes landed on navya who was still standing there with a pained look on her face. A smirk formed on her lips as she mentally cheered and murmured to herself, "So you were trying to save your precious wife but now you only landed in trouble Anant. Now see how I make her hate you".2

Nvya's eyes went on his neck all of a sudden, and her hand which covered her mouth, fell down on her side, as she recognized the lipstick mark.

Sonia smirked at her and linking her arms with Anant shocking him, she said in a fake concerned tone, "Ohh Anant don't worry. You can clearly tell her that you don't want her anymore because she isn't anywhere near to me. And you want me in your life not her".1anant jerked her hand away in annoyance, and turned to look at navya who was now taking slow steps towards him while her eyes were transfixed on him.

"Navya!" nimisha and Sarthak came running from behind to only gulp a lump down their throat seeing the trio together.

They all have been dancing all the while feeling something unusual and that is when navya suggested to have some juice rather than just moving around in between the people, but on an impulse instead of going to the drink counter, she made her way to the lounge area feeling something familiar in the air, while the duo was engrossed in ordering their drinks unaware that navya was missing and finally, after a while when they finally realized both of them dashed towards the lounge area the first thing.1

On approaching navya, she waited for him to meet her eyes but when he didn't even looked at her, sighing she took out her silk napkin from her clutch, and raised her hands to wipe off the marks from his neck much to Sonia's shock. She was thinking she will either slap Anant or accuse him but instead here she was wiping his neck as if it wasn't a big deal for her.2

Anant raised his eyelids to see big tears formed in navya's eyes, but she wasn't letting them fall.

"How can you even ignore these marks of love on him navya? Didn't you saw, what was happening between us?" Sonia questioned and before navya could reply her, Anant beat her to it, "Just shut up or else you don't even know what I am capable of. Nothing happened between us so stop creating a ruckuss because I very well know what you are trying to do now".1

"What am I doing now? Tell me! navya herself saw us together in each other's arms so stop lying infront of her because you are no saint. You were trying to take advantage of me so now don't behave like you didn't even touched me". Sonia argued angrily making Anant grit his teeth in anger while nimisha and Sarthak took a good look at navya who was oblivious to the drama around her but they knew better than anyone else that she was controlling herself from breaking down.

"You are a bloody manwh**e!" Sonia roared and the second her words echoed in navya's ears, the wife in her took over the charge of her body, and her palm directly met with Sonia's cheek without even a prior warning and all of them stared in shock, as Sonia held her cheek with one palm still trying to get over the fact that she had been slapped.2

"You s**t how...," SLAP. navya glared at her as her angry gaze pierced in her eyes while she gulped seeing the blood shot eyes of the girl infront of her, whose face was spitting fire in that moment. She couldn't believe that she was slapped twice by navya.2

"Before using that word for anyone's husband, ask their wives the next time whether they trust their husband or not? And if you can't do that then remember these slaps because if next time you even used that word for my Anant then you can't even imagine what I will do with you".navya warned her pointing her one index finger at her with her eyes blazing in anger.

Anant's eyes brimmed with tears hearing her trust on him, and his love. He couldn't believe that inspite of seeing him in that situation, his navya was trusting him. What he had heard and known till now was that none of the girls would ever trust their partners in such circumstances but still his navya was an exception.3

"How can you even believe him inspite of everything that you saw just now?" Sonia questioned outraged getting over her shock. She still wasn't able to believe that she wasn't able to break them apart.

"Because I live in him. I know him more than I have known my own life but let it be, a self centered and disgusting person like you won't ever understand our relation of love and trust. But let me tell you one thing clearly even if millions of girls like you come and claim infront of me to be a part of his life, I am not going to believe them so try all you can because navya is never going to lose her faith in her Anant. Mind that always and tell this to your companions of evilness too". Navya answered in a stern tone, then before Sonia could say another word, she entwined her palm with Anant's and dragged him along with her out of their sight.

Nimisha and Sarthak gave one last glare to Sonia before stroding off after the couple, while Sonia cursed them under her breath and vowed, "You will pay for the slaps navya and I will make sure of it".1

navya stopped in a little secluded corner of the huge Ball room, as Anant waited for her to ask him anything or even cry a little but before any if that could happen, his cell rang breaking their trance from the other.

"Yes, what happened? Did he gain consciousness?" He asked as soon as he received the call of his security while navya scanned his face from her blurry vision, not understanding anything. Though her heart was aching badly but she had always learned to control her emotions and she was sure that he wouldn't want her to breakdown in this messed up environment.

She could feel the tension of his muscles clearly, while her heart and mind were constantly debating on what to believe and what to make out of his actions. Surely, he did lie to her but she only wished that, he had a big reason for it or else she will shatter into pieces.

"Bring him in consciousness and make sure he comes to the Ball only. Even their parents are here". Anant ordered as he eyed the senior Kapoor entering the room with an annoyed Sonia and he didn't have to think twice, that she had already told them about their failed plan and also her missing brother.

As he finished his talk, nimisha and Sarthak too have joined them while navya was simply staring at the ground, not knowing what else to do. Anant exchanged worried looks with nimisha who assured him through her eyes to have a word with navya.

Anant stepped forward and cupping navya's cheek with his palms, he raised her head to meet his eyes and his heart twisted seeing her red eyes.

"I know I have lot of explaining to do and probably you want to yell at me too, but just give me half an hour and after that I will answer your every question. Just know that I love you only. There was no one and there will be no one else in my life apart from you". He explained in a calm tone, then kissing her forehead he made his way towards the small podium as nimisha and Sarthak reassurednavya through their eyes.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, may I have your attention please!" Anant announced on the Mike as the music system was switched off while everyone gasped in shock, seeing him there. Whispering started around as the Kapoor's were staring at him grudgingly while his men brought Vikram in the room who looked at everything in confusion, as his hands were tied with rope.1

"Patience please. I know everyone is shocked seeing me here but I went to bring something special or precisely a few truths which needed to be revealed infront of you all so that you people don't get fooled by Mr. Nishant Kapoor and Vikram anymore!" He added with a smirk on his face sharing an evil look with Shraddha Kapoor who was eyeing her husband and daughter with disgust.2

The projector screen came alive, while nishant's and Vikram's eyes went wide in shock as they saw themselves on the screen making dealings of their black business of drugs and arms.

"These two people are no saints. These people are fooling you all in name of the textile business, but in turn they are using your invested money in this black work which in turn will ultimately result in your loss since the papers are and all investment are made by maximum of the business men over here". Aanant declared while everyone gaped at the screen in shock and Vikram glared at Anant with menace.

"How could you do this to us Mr. Kapoor?"

"We trusted you for our business and here you are ruining us. What type of a creep you are?"

The Business associates yelled angrily while Nishant gulped.

"Mrs. Kapoor I am sure your husband wants to know how I got to know about all of it, so let's explain him and even if he dies in shock I am sure I or anyone else won't be bothered". Anant added gaining everyone's attention on the old lady who stood there with hate on her face for her husband.2

navya watched everything in a daze not even getting one single thing, while nimisha looked in confusion towards Sarthak whose eyes were glued to the centre of the room.

"How could you stoop so low Nishant? My father trusted you so much to hand over his properties to you and here you were ruining his name in name of business and not only that you tried to ruin a girls life. What type of a father you are, inspite of having a daughter you tried to play with a girls dignity, and then instead of stopping your kids, you were supporting them? Shame on you and both of you. I am ashamed to even call you my kids". Shraddha accused her husband not even caring of the fact that she was humiliating him infront of all.1

"Shraddha, you?"

"Yes, me. I am the one who told Anant about your black work after I saw everything three days back, and he told me about your wrong doings. The day before yesterday, when you and Vikram were doing the dealings I recorded it and gave it to Anant to expose you infront of all because I can never support a man who doesn't respect a girl. You tried to ruin an innocent person then how do you expect me to support you?" She added glaring at him while navya looked at Anant not understanding a word.

"Inspector arrest both of them!" Anant called in the inspector while Nishant and Vikram looked in astonishment as the entire police force marched in.

"Mom, how can you?" Sonia questioned stammering on her tongue, while Shraddha turned to look at her, with a glare and without another word, she slapped her daughter and yelled, "Go back to our house now or else you will also accompany them to the prison. You disgust me. Today you proved that you are his daughter only because you are filled with pathetic genes in your blood".1

Sonia glared at her, and giving one hateful glance to Anant and navya, she stormed out as the cops took away the other two culprits.

"Navya, forgive me please for all the things they wanted to do with you. I can't even imagine how you must be feeling now, but I know that you are stronger than any of us. Please if you can, forgive us for putting you through hell. If I knew that my kids were going to be this disgusting then I wouldn't have ever given birth to them. Please forgive a mother". Shraddha apologized walking up to navya who stood there in a daze not even sure of how was she stopped to react.

She didnt knew what was happening around, and top of that nothing was making sense to her and suddenly this apology, was making her head spin.

"I don't know for what you are apologizing me or what is happening over here but all I know is I am no one to forgive anyone. If you want to seek forgiveness then ask that almighty, because if he does then who am I to even go against him". She replied in an honest tone and walked out, tired of all the whispering around.

"Navyaaa, love please listen to me!" Anant ran after her as she ran inside their home, the second he halted the car infront of the bajpai House. Throughout the drive, she had been silent while he was dreading her reaction on knowing the truth. Surely, the storm was composed now, but still he wasn't sure of the unveiled consequences.

"navya, please listen to me once!" He yelled running after her as she climbed the stairs to their room instead of taking the elevator while the bajpai's stood in the living room perplexed.

Anant who saw them shook his head in disgust, and marched up to his room, as nimi too gave them disgusted looks and stormed off to her own room.

The second she entered their room, she walked inside the washroom banging the door shut as she leaned against the frame of the door, and her figure slumped down and finally, the pool of tears flowed from her almond eyes.

"navya, open the door please. Let me hold you love. Please. Don't this to yourself". Anant pleaded banging on the door in concern and worry. His heart was dreading his dream now and he couldn't leave her alone. Though she didn't knew anything still but he couldn't help but feel, lost and scared.1

"Please Moonlight, let me explain you everything once. Please come out". He pleaded again hearing her uncontrollable sobs from inside. He ran his hands in his hair in frustration not knowing how to calm her down.

After a while of continuous pleadings, she finally opened the door of the washroom and emerged out with puffy and swollen eyes. He immediately pulled her in his arms as she stood still.

"I am here Moonlight. Don't worry please!"

"Did you...ki," She stammered in her muffled voice and his heart beat dropped at the thought of what she wanted to ask. He knew how difficult it was for her to even rationalize anything with so much of happenings but he also knew that she couldn't throw away his images with Sonia like that.

"No love nothing happened between her and me. I won't lie to you that I didn't touched her because I did but know that, it wasn't the way I touch you. I did that only because I wanted to protect you and fulfill the vow I took in our weddings to always become your shield before any mishap could even touch you". He answered parting from her but still holding her in his arms as she continued to let her tears out.

She looked up to see sincerity in his eyes and cupping his face with both palms, she stroked his cheeks and mumbled in stuttering tone, "I love you ...a lot, Anant. More than I can ever express in words. I can ...bear anything but I can't share you with anyone else". She broke down in his arms hugging him tightly, clutching his shirt at his back.

"Sshhh, you don't have to share me with anyone. I am all yours. Anant will always be of navya". He consoled rubbing her back as she continued to sob.1

"I thought I lost you!" He voiced out his doubt.

"I thought the same!" She stated her own as they stood there holding each other in their protective embrace.6

After a while, when she had quitened down, she parted from him, and asked the one question, which he was dreading since the drama took place, "What was the reason of your lie?".

He took a deep breath looking straight in her eyes because now there was no backing out from the truth, but he didn't knew how was she going to handle the truth but still he answered in a hesitant and low voice, which pulled the ground beneath navya.

"They got your and Sarthak's morphed video".

"Whattt??" She gasped in horror as her feet staggered back, while her eyes widen in shock as the reality of his words hit her hard like a rock, and her body felt numb as the earth spinned around her in circles.

The trauma one feels when they are subjected to the most heinous truths about themselves is inevitable. It is that phase of our human life which is unavoidable because one can surely resort to necessary precautions to protect their loved one's from facing the most brutal humiliations but the irony isn't lost that when the truths come out, it freaking hurts directly in the heart; the most sensitive organ of our body. And the most helpful yet entrusted step in this crucial phase is the support; the support of your love. Generally, when in a relationship a girl is victimized most of the partners give up on them, not because they don't love them but because they are not strong enough to fight for them or make the things right for both of them. The most important facet of a relationship is support, an infinite support between the two people who are bounded for life because they are not tied together to show their dominance but they are together due to the commitment of love, due to the compassion they have for the other and due to the connection their hearts feels when they are together or anywhere around. Thus, isn't it absolutely obvious now that if your love is in pain, your first priority is to comfort them, provide them the much needed solace which will ensure them your constant presence and trust in them.

The numbness navya felt in her entire body could exactly be felt by Anant's torned expressions on his face, and a defeated look in his eyes. He had saved her from the outer humiliations but it still didn't meant that, he was able to save her from breaking down inwardly because the truth was nasty and he didn't have to think twice as to how much damage it will do to her? He was afraid of this; the current state of navya, it seemed to him as if she lost all her strength in that moment.3

Navya took few steps backwards, until she hit the wall and then her numb figure slid down against the wall, as she felt she no longer had any strength to even stand. Her eyes though were open but she felt blankness in them, her voice was choked in her throat while her forehead was covered in sweat. Her breathings were uneven while her heart constricted in pain inside her chest but she didn't cried.2

"Morphed pictures with Sarthak!" The words kept on ringing in her ears continuously while Anant watched her with pain. He himself felt defeated and in that moment, he just wished that it was better if he was an orphan rather than being born between heartless people who didn't have any ounce of guilt in them for the damage they were doing to someone who wasn't even asking them anything but Love. Why was it so difficult for people to understand their love?3

Navya closed her eyes, tired of looking straight at nothing in particular. She didn't wanted to say a word, nor move her body, she just wished darkness to consume her and free her from this constant pain in their life. How much more were they going to struggle? Why was this world making their union so painful? Didn't they felt any remorse for insulting a bond of a brother and sister?16

She didn't realized that her tears had already started to flow from her eyes, until she felt Anant's familiar hands wiping the sides of her eyes and then he engulfed her in his protective embrace.

Words were not needed between them anymore to convey the gravity of the hurt they were feeling in their soul, their silence also revealed them the inner turmoil they were going through. They were one of those pairs, who believed in showing their love through actions not by words because just mere words, doesn't mean that we love our partner, the greater depth arises when their actions make us feel loved.

"I never...saw him...or anyone else...that way, Anant. I only...loved you...," navya explained after a while stuttering on her tongue as her tears flowed uncontrollably and Anant didn't made any efforts to stop them because she needed to let it out of her chest.

"You...don't ...believe them?" She asked in a little scared tone, afraid that she might lose him forever, if ever he got a doubt on her love. He continued to stroke her back with love as she clung to him for her dear life. She knew he will never doubt her, but her insecurities were taking a toll on her rational thinking.13

Anant understood her inner fight and pulling her apart from him, he cupped her both cheeks, bringing her face closer to his, he sucked her tears away as she let him comfort her.

"I can doubt the entire world but not my navya I know Moonlight, there is no one in your life apart from me. Please don't be scared. I am not going to leave you ever". He consoled her, planting a kiss on her forehead and she cupped his face, and requested in a muffled voice, "Please... Make me...yours".

Anant stared at her suddenly taken a back by her request and explained in a composed tone, navya I don't need any prove. You don't have to do this for me. I know you are mine. We will go ahead only when you want it not like this when you are vulnerable".

He scooped her up in his arms and carried her to the bed. She kept on gazing at his face with tired eyes, as he laid her down on the bed and covering her with the duvet, he started to make his way towards his side, to only be held by her at his wrist.

"I am asking you because I need an assurance for you and for myself that I am yours. I don't know for how long are we going to fight with everyone but I want you to know that I will always be yours," she stated in a broken voice making him sigh. She wasn't screaming or yelling the pain out, but he knew for sure that she was torned apart from inside and only he can take that pain away from her.1

He sat on the bed and she rested her head on his chest, as he wrapped his arms around her small trembling body and then slowly and steadily, he laid her down. She closed her eyes as her tears made their way out from the sides of her eyes and Anant removed his blazer and shirt as he came beside her.

He bent his head down as he planted soft kisses on her face while she clutched the sheets on her either sides, as she felt him hovering over after a while.

"Tell me to stop when you want!" He whispered before pressing his lips on hers, and she simply nodded wrapping her arms around his neck, trying to forget all the bad happenings of her life and cherishing the warmth of his love as he moved down to her throat, jaw and neck. His hands caressed her tiny waist while her fingers brushed the scalp of his hairs.

Every kiss he gave soothed her broken heart little by little, and the moment he united them, navya held him tightly as lone tears escaped her eyes, while she felt completely his in that most precious moment of their lives when they finally, united their souls forever.

Anant opened his eyes in the morning to see navya still sleeping, cuddled on his chest as his one arm was wrapped around her shoulder. He shifted her on the pillow slowly, planting a kiss on her forehead, as he stared at her pale face and puffy eyes, which were clearly visible even when she was sleeping.

He kept on staring at her for a while, and then suddenly a smile made it's way on the sides of his lips as he thought of a plan to bring a change in her mood. He immediately got down the bed and wearing his shirt, made his way straight to the Kitchen to only see the two lady devil's arguing over something.1

"Something going on between the two lady devil's?" He asked in his evil tone gaining their attention, while Jeniffer who stood in the corner controlled her laughter at his endearment.1

rama and sughanda glared at him while he passed them evil smirks, which only meant that something was going on in his mind.

"What are you doing over here?" Both the women almost shouted.

"Well if you are going through an amnesia, then let me remind you that this is my home. I can as well roam around anywhere I want," he replied hopping on the counter making both the ladies move back in annoyance.

"For the entire week you both won't work in the kitchen," he stated and the women's face lit up suddenly, and shooking his head, Anant dropped another bomb on them, "Instead you both will work in the garden along with your darling husband's".3

"What??" Jeniffer covered her mouth with her palm, seeing the Panda eyes of sughanda and navya while Anant's lips twitched in a playful smirk.

"Have you gone crazy? How can we work the entire day in the sun?"

"Well there are millions of people in this universe who work under the direct heat of the sun so I don't think that you two are any exception. And think of it as your wifely duties". He reasoned jumping down the counter while the women gaped at him in shock.

"And by the way rama bhabhii I heard that you have been trying to reach out to your family in Lonavla, then let me tell you don't reach them because even if you call them, they aren't going to receive it". He added making her eyes go wide in shock. She had been trying to call her family since they all were thrown out but her all attempts were failed making her frustrated.

"What did you do to them?" She yelled glaring angrily at him.

"For now nothing apart from giving them a little warning to not take your any call or help any of you or else I will take over each of them". He answered arrogantly scratching the back of his neck while his eyes were dancing in mischief.

"You all enjoyed playing with navya's innocent heart, now I will enjoy playing with your lives that you will beg me falling on your knees but I won't grant you forgiveness. I could have easily put you all behind bars, but that will be too easy punishment for you because you all deserve to feel every single pain you made her go through and until the day I am alive, I will make sure you all suffer." He declared in a stern tone piercing his gaze in theirs which scared them because of the fury they saw in his eyes.2

"Even if this world calls me the worst son I won't hesitate in hurting you all now because I am only a husband from now onwards and this husband will fight for his wife and avenge you all for every assault you did on her soul". He added in a confident and determined tone making them gulp in fear, because they were absolutely powerless now. No one was there to save them, not even the Kapoor's.

"Get out now!" He yelled and both of them ran out while he smirked behind their retreating backs.

"Jeniffer, I would have have appreciated your help but since you are busy smiling so go do other work. I will do my work on my own". He said turning her attention to her who was giving her amused looks, but hearing his sudden remark, she flushed and walked out in long steps.1

"Moonlight, see in your love I even started cooking. Just great". He said to himself with a smile on his lips, as he chopped the vegetables to prepare Upma.2

navya stretched her arms on the other side to only find Anant missing, and she sat up immediately as her eyes searched around their big room. Seeing his shirt missing, she realized that he might have went out and she rested her head back on the head rest, thinking about everything once again.

"Because of me he is going through so much Mumma, but still he is fighting for me and our love but for how long will we keep on fighting like this. Won't we ever get any peace?" She mused mentally with closed eyes, and then she felt two soft pecks on her both eyelids and immediately she smiled faintly realizing that it was him.2

"Surprise!" Anant squealed excitedly as navya opened her eyes to see the decorated tray of breakfast infront of her. It comprised of vegetables Upma, fruits precisely cut and she didn't have to think twice before recognizing the presence of ginger tea.

A red rose and card with the title, My Lovely Wife, was placed on the tray and navya's eyes brimmed with tears as she picked up both the things in her hands, caressing them with love.2

"Too bad love. Here I bought everything to make you smile and here you are crying". He complained pouting his lips and immediately she wiped off her tears not wanting to upset him. What happened has happened, they both can't keep on crying over the past through out, hence it was best for both of them to behave normally around the other so as to heal the other with their strength and support!

"See I stopped crying". She stated holding his hand and he smiled.

"That's like my beautiful Navya!" He complimented sitting beside her, wrapping his one arm around her shoulder and she rested her head on his shoulder feeling at peace.

"Did I hurt you?"

"How can you hurt me when you are the only medicine to my all pains?" She asked instead of replying to his question looking in his eyes, and his heart swelled in pride hearing her words.2

"So do you!"

"I love you". She confessed kissing his cheek softly making his heart beat raise in excitement with just the three words. He at times wondered, that did every men felt this special when their wives confessed their love but then his own inner conscience would answer him that, he felt special because his navya was the most strongest yet the most purest person of the world. He had hardly known anyone who would be selfless yet strong to fight with so many hurdles all at once.

"I wish you would keep on saying those three words forever!" He demanded as he fed her the breakfast and she did the same. Smiling, she leaned in near his ears and whispered multiple times, "I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you...

Though she still felt hollow inside her chest due to all the happenings but she didn't wanted to make his efforts go in vain. She loved him enough to mask all her pain from him, and smile because that's what he deserved, for making her life beautiful.

Anant grinned widely, and smashed his lips on hers, kissing her passionately as she smiled feeling his minty breath fanning on her lips.

"If I didn't stop now, then I don't think I will even let you out of this bed so let's get up and get dressed because today I want you to start another new beginning". He teased as they pulled apart after a while and she shook her head correcting his shirt collars.

"How much practice did you do to make me feel better?" She teased back making him scowl.2

"Amm. What the Moonlight? Why would I need practice to make you feel better? I am a born trained for you". He replied opening his shirt buttons making her eyes go wide in embarrassment.

"No need to show me your talents now. We need to go for work too". She said standing up on her feet to only wince a little but he immediately held her at her waist with a smirk.

"Leave me!" She pleaded pouting her lips while his smirks kept on broadening as he kept on pulling her closer and closer.

"Mrs. Anant you should have known by now that when Anant holds something he likes, he never leaves it no matter how hard it becomes to hold". He replied with a victorious smirk on his face and she rolled her eyes at him.

"Mr. Anant if you won't leave me, how will I get ready? And logically, I can't dance in your arms". She asked and stated at the same time making him frown in Irritation. Here, his mind was planning some mischief to bring her back to her real self and here she was throwing water on his dreams.

"Why are you frowning?"

"Because you are not letting me have fun". He replied in a pissed tone and she controlled her smile seeing his annoyed expressions and in audible curses.

"Laugh. Come on laugh then I will show you, my new Romance technique". He declared as his hands made it's way on her tickling spot and her eyes widened in shock as she realized his antics.

"Anant, no. Please". She pleaded trying to remove his hands from her sensitive spot, but he already began tickling her making her squirm in laughter, as he too joined her and both fell on the bed, in each other's embrace still laughing.

"You are so bad. My stomach is paining from laughing so much". She complained as he nuzzled her neck softly, giving her hot wet kisses making her toes curl up at the touch of his lips on her skin.

"But I won't get tired of seeing you laughing. I missed your laugh". He stated stroking her one cheek while his one hand was entwined with hers above her head.

"I love younavya!" He whispered and took her lips in his, as she kissed him back feeling herself getting lost in his love and protection. She was indeed one of those luckiest girls if the earth, who has got the best man as her love and husband who will even bring the world at her feet and she couldn't help but feel thankful to that almighty for giving her the best husband.

Her phone rang suddenly breaking their romantic moment and he cursed the intruder under his breath.

"Arghh!" He cribbed as she pushed him off her and she got down to take the call while he mentally planed to switch their cells off from hence forth before even beginning their romance.

An angry expression crossed her face and she showed the caller ID to Anant as he gritted his teeth in anger.

"What does she want now?" Anant asked frustrated seeing Sonia's name flashing on the screen, while navya pressed the speaker button so that he could hear too.

"What do you want?" navya asked sternly while laughing like a crazy, Sonia replied from the other side, "Meet me in the evening at the Howrah Bridge all alone. I have some important challenge for you".2

Without even hearing her reply, Sonia cut the call making them exchange confused looks.

"You are not going anywhere near that crazy woman". Anant declared seeing navya thinking something.

"What challenge she was talking about?" She asked to no one in particular.

"But even if I don't go, she will use her twisted ways to reach me so it's better I go and see what does she want now and who told you I will go alone. When I have you always, how can I be alone. We are two bodies, one soul". She comforted him hugging him tightly.

"I will go to meet Sonia in the evening". She declared staring straight in his eyes, parting from him, while he nodded as his own mind started rationalizing Sonia's steps and he decided it was better to go with the flow rather than forcing things because he couldn't risk his navya's safety.

When you have the support of your love with you, then every difficulty becomes easier to handle as your love becomes your biggest strength!
