CHAPTER 58 Hey, who accepted you as my husband?
Ten days passed by, and Rudra was still unconscious. Tanvi is daily staying in the hospital sitting beside him, talking to him, dressing him, and taking care of him.
She got deeply attached to him, not even a minute did she leave his side.
Tamaz and Maahir tried to make her relax, but she is adamant and always want to be by his side. “If Rudra wakes up, I must be beside him,” Tanvi told stubbornly.
“How can I ever forgive myself if you never wake up? I am losing my hope Rudra. Please give me some faith that you will become well.” She entwined her hands with his and kissed his bullet stitches near the chest and stomach.
She held him in her palms and felt unbearable affection towards him. She remembered how he took care of her during her nightmares, how he gave her warmth in her worst behavior, and how he tolerated her even under stress. Reminiscing on their intimate moments, his loving pecks, his cologne, she shed tears freely without her notice.
Meantime, the battle came to an end, and both parties suffered heavy losses. Tamaz and Maahir decided not to tell the world about his condition. Entire people are thinking he is on his honeymoon enjoying with his wife while Rudra is fighting for his life.
The doctor approached them and said, the specialist from Australia came to check on Mr. Rudra. He is Mr. Steve, the top surgeon in Australia. “Ms. Tanvi, we know about Mr. Rudra and are trying every way possible to get his consciousness. Let us hope for the best.”
After a few hours, Tanvi, Tamaz, and Maahir are eagerly waiting for the news from Mr. Steve. It’s been a long time since Mr. Steve started to evaluate his reports and checked upon Rudra.
Mr. Steve said, “I did a complete check on his condition and found the chances are minimal.” He then added, “He is struggling to wake up, but his body is not responding. He is fighting for his life, and he got the will to survive. There is a slight improvement, but we can not predict whether he will recover or not.”
Their hopes plummeted after listening to what the specialist said. “How can he… he cannot do this to me… to us… he can never leave us like this.” She stuttered and lost her control.
Panic struck her so hard that she cannot think properly. Tanvi is speculating on what the specialist said again and again.
After a few hours, she found hidden courage in her, and said, “Mr. Steve said his condition improved slightly, which means he is responding to me.”
“He got the will means Rudra is reluctant to leave us. We should give our best, and Rudra will recover.” Her eyes brighten with the thought of Rudra waking up.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
She remembered her promise of waking him up. Tamaz and Maahir felt blessed to have Tanvi, and they understood, “Because of you, he is at least responding and fighting for his survival. You are the reason for him to get back. He has a family now, and how can he leave you like that?” Rudra will wake up for sure, Tanvi, don’t give up on him, they added.
“I know, Tamaz. I won’t ever give up on him. I realized what he did for me, and how can I leave him after knowing everything?” Tanvi said while biting her lip while stopping her tears.
Tanvi held his hand and kept it on her cheeks, and she is talking to him while remembering all her best memories.
She believed his mind is responding to her words and touch, which will give him the courage to fight. She is trying continuously to get the mighty king back.
Later, she longed for him a lot, and she flourished kisses on his cheeks and hands. She saw a slight movement in his finger, and Tanvi jumped with joy since he is reacting.
She ran out and informed Tamaz and Maahir, and their mood alleviated in an instant.
The doctor came by to verify it, and he said it is a good sign. “If you continue to take care of him, he might recover soon, Mrs. Rudra.”
Tanvi blushed on hearing Mrs. Rudra, and she is more than resolute to get him back.
The bright sun came kissing her, forcefully she woke up and is mesmerized seeing the godlike man in front of him. “When will you wake up and hold me in your arms, Rudra? I am missing you a lot. I miss your voice, your domineering glares, your touch. Please wake up, don’t test my patience.”
She stood up and slept on his bed, hugging him in her tight embrace and kissing him. She caressed his eyes, nose, cheeks, and stopped at his lips.
Tanvi brushed his lips with her finger, and she came moving closer to him, inhaling his intoxicating scent. It became a drug to her from these past days. With the sudden urge to claim his lips, Tanvi held his cheeks and slowly kissed his lips, and she noticed him kissing back.
She is stunned and did not understand what happened. “Am I dreaming? Why did I feel like he kissed me back?”
Tanvi is in her thoughts for a second, and Rudra locked his lips with her and embraced her. He was reluctant to let go of her and whispered in a hoarse voice when she is in his arms, “How are you, wifey?”
Tanvi was startled by seeing him awake and did not understand how to respond for a moment. Then jumped with happiness and sighed with relief, “You are awake, Rudra. You are back to your senses. Omg!! Thank you, God!! Thank you so much!!!”
On seeing her bright smile, Rudra felt relaxed. He wants to see the cheerful self in Tanvi always, and today she came to him and cuddled him.
She hugged him, and she couldn’t be able to stop herself from doing so.
The excitement, relief, happiness everything came to her as a blessing by seeing him awake and listening to his voice and feeling his touch, which she longed for. She felt as if she conquered the world.
“How are you feeling, Rudra?” She asked in a concerned tone, her gaze affectionate.
“Having you by my side, I am good, Wifey,” Rudra said in a loving tone. It’s rare to see him talk sweetly, maybe because of many days resting in a torpid state or being happy to have her, he became more romantic!
“You don’t know how much we worried, don’t you dare do that stupid thing again, how can you risk your life like that?” Tanvi said in a demanding tone.
Rudra chuckled, “Anything for you, Wifey. I cannot lose you. I cannot withstand seeing you in that condition.”
Eyeing her, he added, “It would be better to have you safely though my life is at risk. Moreover, you are in this mess because of me. I must protect you.”
“If I am unable to save my wife, how will this world see me? Will it be worth it to be called a loser? I prefer death than be a failure.” He caressed her and made her sit beside him.
Hearing his words, she felt so moved! “What did I do to have you as my husband?” She pondered with a slight smile on her face.
Mr. Ishan Rudra Chauhan confessing his love, and how can Ms. Tanvi Siara Agarwal deny it?
Tanvi blushed with his words. Rudra is not a lovey-dovey type of man.
He speaks less and proves it with his actions, yet today he spoke to Tanvi so casually and opened his heart to her, he became a husband to his wife who is waiting for him, not the President of the Chauhan Group of Companies.
After a few minutes, “I forget to tell this good news to Tamaz and Maahir,” Tanvi remembered and called them.
“Come to the hospital, Tamaz, and bring Maahir with you.” She said.
“We are on our way, Tanvi,” Tamaz said. “Did anything happen? Are you alright?” They worried.
“Relax, I am doing good. You people Come fast.”
Tamaz and Maahir noticed the excitement and happiness in her voice, and they hope there will be good news. With that thought, he roared the accelerator of his Maserati.
Rudra snickered by seeing the child-like Tanvi in front of him. “Come to me, Wifey,” Rudra demanded.
“Hey, you are just awake and ordering me. It is not fair.” She pouted.
Seeing her innocence, he felt blessed. “I always wanted you to be happy, and today you are laughing in front of me. It is more than enough for me.”
“What? Will you not obey me?” Rudra faked a solemn glare.
“Okay, fine. You win.” With that, she sat beside him, and he pulled her much closer. She is stunned by his mood swings, “What on earth happened to him?”
He chuckled smugly seeing her reaction. “Tell me what happened when I’m not by your side? Did anyone bother you? Did anyone mistreat you?” He asked with concern visible in his eyes.
“Yes,” She said with a sly grin.
“Who dared to do that?” He asked with a cold tone clenching his fist.
“It’s you. You are the one who made me cry like hell, and you are the one who worried me to death. You did everything.” She said while hitting him on his biceps.
He was dumbfounded by listening to it. “I didn’t understand whether I should laugh or cry.”
His lips twitched upwards. She grinned aloud after seeing his dumb expression.
“It’s good to tease you, hubby.” She added while holding her stomach to control her laughter. He is more than satisfied witnessing her like this.
Soon, the doctor came and did a thorough check-up on Rudra’s condition, after a series of examinations, “He is perfectly alright.”
“You are lucky to have her by your side. You are the result of her continuous effort and determination towards you. She didn’t give up on you though we give up on your condition.” The doctor said.
Rudra nodded his head in contentment. “When can I get discharged?” He asked.
“Tomorrow after a complete check.” The doctor said.
The couple is discussing things and giggling aloud, then Tamaz and Maahir came in and jumped with happiness upon seeing Rudra awake. Tamaz hit him, “You make us grieve to death.”
“I am glad you are back, Boss,” Maahir said with his whole heart looking at Rudra. On seeing the scene, Tanvi felt like she was the odd one out and thought of giving them some space.
She stood up and is about to leave, “Where are you going?” Rudra inquired without leaving her hand.
“Umm… Just thought of giving you some space,” Tanvi said with hesitation while seeing the ground. “No need, you are my wife, and they are the people whom I trust the most. We are like a family.” He declared by flabbergasting Tanvi.
“Hey, who accepted you as my husband?” Tanvi bickered with him.
“Then why are you here if you are not my wife?” He taunted her in the same tone.
“I am just here with the concern since you saved my life, it’s my responsibility to make sure you are good.” She responded with a smirk.
Rudra was astonished by her sudden change of emotions. “What the heck is this? Is she gone nuts?” He is bewildered, “What drama are you playing again?”
“Am I a drama queen or what?” She snapped back. “Huh!!! Then why did you kiss me?” He asked unabashedly, and she is stunned.
Not expecting he will reveal it so openly in front of Tamaz and Maahir, she lost her face. “Don’t imagine things. Why would I kiss you?” She bantered with him.
“What the FUCK? Why would I imagine? Do you think I am crazy or what? My stomach and chest got hurt but not my brain,” he is losing his cool.
Seeing them bicker, Tamaz and Maahir found it a rare sight, yet they felt moved knowing only she can control him.
Tamaz and Maahir both gave dirty looks to Rudra, and Rudra was beyond shocked by the dauntless Tanvi.
“You are always a lunatic, forget about the injury, now you became crazier,” she said without a doubt.
“It seems I lost to you, wifey. You win.” He accepted defeat.
She felt proud of herself and patted her shoulder, “Wow. The almighty king admitted his failure,” and sneered in victory.
He then pulled her towards him by making her sit back on him, and she was caught by surprise by the sudden turn of events.
“You guys stop your public display of affection. We bachelors cannot take it.” Tamaz said while chuckling.
“It’s your problem,” Rudra and Tanvi stated in unison.
“Madam, you shifted to the boss’s side and left us alone, which is unfair.” Maahir blurted out, and instantly he shut his mouth, yet Rudra gives him a nasty glare.
The day went by with laughs and bickering, and they were happy after so many days with a pleasant atmosphere.
