For now and forever

52. No More Tears

Aaravi cups his face and kisses his forehead making him close his eyes. She then pecks his eyes, then his cheek and then his red nose making him smile. She also smiles seeing his smile. 

She is in a half lying position on the bed with pillows and cushion on her back. 

“I love you, Manyu…and I hate seeing my Manyu like this,” she murmured weakly, stroking his cheek with her thumb. 

“Then you should not do that,” he said, making her chuckle slightly.

“I am so sorry…” she whispered, rubbing the back of his head. He sighs and hugs her carefully. 

Abhi felt home in her embrace. He closes his eyes and lightly places his lips on the side of her forehead. Aaravi wraps her arms around him and leans her weight against him. 

Abhi pulls back and stares at her beautiful face as he is assuring himself that he is not dreaming. Aaravi kisses his cheek and smiles brightly seeing his love-filled eyes staring at her making her feel butterflies in her tummy.

“Don't look at me like this, Mr. Agnihotri,” she whispered playfully, tracing the side of his face with her thumb.

“You can't stop me after torturing me and making me go through hell. Just get well soon then I am going to take my revenge for making me go through hell,” he whispered back looking intensely into her eyes. 

She felt a shiver run down her body hearing his deep voice. 

Suddenly the door opening sound made them pull away from each other and look at the door to see Siya and Ruhaan with their other family members. 

Aaravi smiles seeing Ma coming toward her with happy tears shining in her eyes. Siya hugs Aaravi lovingly and caresses her face.

“Aaravi, meri Jaan. You stupid girl…you love troubling everyone,” she scolds her while crying making Aaravi smile at her.

“I love you, Ma,” Siya chuckled and hug her.

“I love you too mera bachcha. I love you too,” Siya said.

Abhi stood up from the bed to let Ruhaan sit with Aaravi. Ruhaan smiles at him before he looks at his daughter with a relieved and loving smile. He couldn't help but let his tears flow seeing her smiling back at him. 

Aaravi takes his hand in her and kisses them lovingly before smiling at him brightly.

“I am absolutely fit and fine, Daddy. Please don't cry, superhero,” she said and wiped his tears. 

“Finally I got my life back,” Aaravi felt emotion seeing her father crying. This is the most heartbreaking thing for any daughter. 

She just leaned against his chest and closed her eyes feeling warm and secure in his fatherly embrace. Ruhaan kisses her head, careful of her bandage wound. 

Then she met everyone one by one. Ryan playfully scolds her for making him cry so much. But seeing her sweet smile he couldn't help but kiss her lovingly showing his affection to his little doll.

The environment is emotional and filled with happiness. 

Aaravi looks around as she is looking for something. Seeing her like this, Ashika asked,

“What happened, Aaravi? You need something, Baccha,” Aaravi looked at her.

“Mumma, Abheer?” Hearing this Ashika smile and said,

“He is sleeping. Don't worry I will bring him here as soon as he wakes up,” Aaravi nodded with a slight smile but feels a little sad but she didn't want to disturb his sleep.
