Rajvardan spent his whole night admiring his small baby. He was lost in her childhood memories how cute she was and how cute she still is.

She was lying on his chest while one of her hands was on his shoulder and another one was clutching his shirt tightly, as if she feared something. But he promised he would make sure her fears vanished. Neither Rajvardan feared anyone, nor would his wife ever have to.

He noticed some movement. She slowly opened her doe orbs and saw the calm yet handsome face of her husband, whom a few hours ago she considered her enemy.

Now she was lying on his chest, seeking comfort. She tried to move away from his chest but hissed when her back wound stretched.

“Ahhh…”

Rajvardan, who was admiring her a few seconds ago, immediately frowned. He slowly made her sit on the bed and asked,

“Ibu, what happened? Are you okay? Is it hurting somewhere? Are you okay?”

She didn’t reply to him. She just hugged him tightly and said,

“I am so bad. How should I ask for forgiveness?”

He cupped her face and said,

“Shh… my small baby was never wrong. It was the circumstances that made you do this.”

She also cupped his cheeks and asked in a broken tone,

“For how long will you defend me? Tell me, Hukam.”

He looked straight into her orbs and said,

“Till eternity.”

He slowly placed his lips on her forehead.

“Ibadaat, I want you to learn to fight for yourself.”

“You are there to save me, Hukam. I don’t need anyone else to protect me.”

“What if I am in some danger? Who will save me?”

She gasped. He gave her a smirk and said,

“Obviously, you. So I’ll wait for your wounds to heal soon. Your training will start.”

“No, I don’t trust anyone,” she said stubbornly and huffed.

He giggled and pulled her cheeks.

“I’ll train my small baby.”

“Hukum,” she said meekly.

“Yes, Vardan’s baby,” he said while pecking her hands.

“I am hungry. Can you cook something for me?”

He lifted her up and took her to the kitchen. He made her sit on the slab and started preparing a basic Indian thali.

He prepared it, fed her, and later asked her to freshen up. After that, he treated her wounds.

Both were sitting on the couch when, out of nowhere, Rajvardan asked,

“How did you meet Rudra, Ibadaat?”

Her orbs shined, and she asked him,

“Are you sure you want to listen to their love story? It’s so beautiful.”

He asked curiously,

“I am in to listen to their love story.”

If you want to know Rudra and Supriya’s story, go and read Her Tamed Beast. It’s available on Wattpad.

When she finished telling their story, Rajvardan said,

“Wow, Bhabhi is so strong, and Rudra, my bro, went through so much but never shared anything with me.”

“But I can never become like Supriya didu. How strong she is, her love for Bhaiya… and here I am, insulting you so much, but still you love me till the moon.”

She said while fidgeting with her fingers.

“Yes, she is very strong. I agree. But Ibadaat, everyone’s journey is not the same. They faced many difficulties but ended up together, and that’s what matters. And if I talk about us, you were a kid when they brainwashed you. So it’s not your mistake. But see, we also ended up together, and that matters, right? So stop blaming yourself and live the moment.”

She looked at him excitedly and said,

“You know what? I also want to make our story awesome.”

He laughed from his heart and said,

“My cute baby, it’s not a story. It’s a journey that we live every single moment.”

She fake-dusted her clothes and said,

“Okay, okay. I wanted to make our journey awesome, so do you want to join me?”

She forwarded her hand, and without any thought, he placed his hand on hers and gave a light squeeze.

“Okay, so Hukam, our first journey will be friendship. So, do you want to be my friend?”

“Yes, why not? Who will not accept this proposal from such a cute baby?”

She forwarded her hand and said,

“So give me my gift.”

He smirked and did the same.

She huffed and said,

“I’ll give you tonight.”

He copied her and said the same, then started laughing at her.

She stood on the bed, pushed him onto the bed, sat on his stomach, and started tickling him. He started laughing, but within seconds, the situation turned calm.

When he hovered over her, he noticed that she was shivering. He immediately realised what he had done he had triggered her.

He moved aside, made her sit, and said,

“Relax. It’s your Rajvardan. Don’t get scared. I’ll always protect you, Ibu.”
