Ranjeet's pov

I walk back to our chambers holding my world in my arms. I can't express what i was feeling in words right now. I almost lost everything, lost her.. even the thought of it scares me.

My arms tightens around her unconsciously even at the thought of it. Her body got heavy as she fell asleep. I can't even imagine what she's been through.

" I'll make everyone pay for whatever they did to you ..."

I whisper looking down at her.. it was a promise to myself and her. The thought that she had to go through all that and i couldn't save my love was just making me so angry at myself...so useless. I wanted to punish myself for that.

I laid her on our bed without waking her up. I cleaned all her wounds , her body and changed her clothes. She got so thin..so weak.

The more i look at her in this state ..the more i curse myself.

After treating all her wounds ..i cover her up then laid beside putting her head on my arm. Cradling her close to me.

She looks so small in my arms... The peace she has on her face as she's sleeping is all that i want to give her all her life.

I want to be her calm in the chaos...not another battle that she has to fight...

I couldn't help but admire her , my love. I continued caressing her face , brushing her hairs giving her the peace that she longed for all these days.

It was next morning already.. i thought of letting her sleep some more. I had to get up to take care of all the duties that a king has to perform. even if i wanted to stay... I can't.

I try to slip away without waking her up. I sit up and was about to get off the bed when i felt a tug at my kurta. I turn to look at her

Her face filled with the expression of worry, hand tugging at a small part of my kurta like a baby not wanting to let go of her mother..

" Don't go...."

Her voice barely a rough whisper... My heart clenched at her expression. I can leave the world for her...

I caress her cheek with the back of my hand..

" Morning sleepyhead... "

I lie back down beside her holding her close. Her hand that was on my chest ..i interlocked my fingers with her holding it over my abdomen .

" I'm not going anywhere..."

I kiss her forehead to reassure her..

We lay down for a few minutes in silence..we both stare in blank space deep in thoughts..

" Aishwarya..."

" Hnn...?"

Even her small..' hnn..' .twists my stomach in wrong ways. God... I'm completely obsessed with this girl.. i can never let go of her.. she's everything to me..

" Do you miss your family?."

I had this thought for a very long time.. will she leave me again? .. her world is different than mine..

The thought of her disappearing one day just like that scares the shit out of me.

" Hn..."

My hand tightens around her..

" Tell me more about your family.."

My voice was surprisingly gentle and soft.

We talked for hours.. she told me everything about her life in the other world. It seemed so fascinating in so many ways.no wars..no power struggle..no blood baths ..deaths..

That life seems so peaceful.now i can understand how hard it must be for her to adjust here ..in a body of someone else..living someone else's life in a totally unfamiliar world... between totally unfamiliar people.

I wanted to be there for her ..i wanted her to feel safe , loved and everything she deserves.

Suddenly...i could see her expression a bit troubled.. she rubs her stomach..i could see her trying to hide it from me.

" What's wrong baby?.."

She shakes her head ... But i think i knew what was wrong..

" Is it your periods?"

She looks up at me in shock.. her face flushed red..

" Y..you know?"

She asks completely surprised

I couldn't help but chuckle at her flabbergasted yet cute expression.

I pinch her cheek playfully .. chuckling..

" Of course i know... I researched about it through books in the royal library when i first saw you in pain after our marriage holding your stomach. I couldn't help but worry about you. You wouldn't tell me even though i asked you ...so i had to know it myself "

I brush back a strand of her hair back explaining to her gently..

" Now go.. change. I'll let someone bring something to soothen your pain "

I look at her looking at me ..but this time her gaze soften and i could see a slight smile on her rosy lips..

" Kya chl rha h is chote se dimaag m ? Hnn...?"

" What's going on in that little head of yours? Hnn?.."

I ask tapping her forehead playfully.. but to my surprise..she plopped on her elbow and kissed my cheek making my heartbeat faster than ever before.

" Your gift for being such a good husband.."

Before i could process anything..she got up and walked to the bathroom tying her long hair in a messy bun..

I couldn't help but laugh putting my forearm over my forehead laying back looking at the ceiling

" You little minx..."

After that.. i made sure to take care of her for the next three to four days.. i now know.. she get really bad cramps..

And slow massage can soothen her pain a bit . More than that ...she gets really clingy. All she wants is me near her all the time.

Nothing but my presence can help her alot.. she becomes such a baby in her periods.. cute..

Oh god... I adore her so much... She'll be the death of me...
