Author’s POV

Two weeks later

"Bhai (Brother) this one is the last spoon so eat it quietly otherwise no one will be worse than me" Aashi threatened him like Vishant while moving the spoon towards his mouth who was not ready to take even a single bite because he was tired of eating tasteless food for the last 12 days but what was his fault in this since he regained consciousness they were treating him like patient and had banned his every activity like he couldn’t get up from bed except for washroom, he will be given only the food that the doctor had mentioned in his diet chart, he couldn’t do office work until he was fully recovered.

He was tired of saying that he was alright to do his work own, so stop treating him like a patient, but salute to his family who didn’t understand such a small thing.

He knew that they cared for him but this was pure torture bro.

"I don't want to eat this anymore.  For God's sake, why don't you all understand one simple thing that I am fine now, so stop treating me like a patient and you Aashi, you do not think that your husband's influence has increased on you too much, but my dear sister, if you glare at someone even in anger, then it seems as if a small child is looking at with her cute doe like eyes. I like pinching your tomato-like cheeks, my little doll" Karan told her lightly pinching her cheeks making her frowned at him.

She shot her angry glare at him but Ajay gave her his wide smile in return as she was looking adorable in his eyes.

She scowled jerking his hands away from her face when she saw him smiling at her cheekily.

She whined like an offended kid keeping the plate on the side table "I am not a child anymore, I am now...."

"That you have grown up now" Ajay Mahi, and Amisha shouted in unison that they had been hearing from the last 2 weeks which made her angrily pout.

Whenever someone called her a child, she reacted in a way and now everyone was used to it and everyone enjoyed teasing her because when she turned red in anger and they found her even cuter than before.

A lot had changed in these two weeks, their life too.

That day was still fresh in Aashi’s memories when Nitin took them to the hospital where she came to know that one of her family members had been shot and he was undergoing an operation. She didn’t know who it was but her heart started beating like crazy that one of her loved ones had been shot because she knew behind the closed door of the operation theatre there were her family members whether it was Vishant or her father and brother because Karan was in front of her.

She didn't know how to react, should she ask who was inside or wait silently but was waiting that easy???

No, waiting was the most difficult time as we were unaware of what it will bring us.

She was fighting with herself, then suddenly she felt someone's touch on her shoulders and her body reacted automatically, due to which she lost her balance, but before she fell, his strong arms held her protectively to whom her heart was connected.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt somewhere??" As soon as his concern filled voice reached her ears, she broke down in tears wrapping her arms around him, started crying like a baby keeping her head on his chest "Vishant I am very scared"

These were the only words she uttered before fainting in his arms and when she regained consciousness after a few hours, she found Mahi in front of her whose eyes were red like blood and there were dry tears on her face, seeing her like this she became panicked and didn’t not calm down even for second.

Then Vishant entered the room and taking her in his arms told everything that Ajay was out of danger now but he hadn't regained consciousness yet so they will have to wait for him to regain consciousness before meeting him.

Seeing her condition, Vishant advised Mahi and Aashi to go to a hotel to rest, but both of them refused.

They decided that they stayed in the hospital and waited for Ajay to regain consciousness, which came after a long wait of hours.

"But no matter what happens, you will remain our younger sister for us who is very precious to us" Mahi said hugging Aashi from the side pulling out of her thoughts.

" It is true that I am your younger sister for all of you, but I have grown up now. You people pamper me like kid, I don't have any problem with it, infact I will be happy, I have many people to fulfil my demands, but......"She stopped in middle and her expression became serious and her eyes held some strong determination.

She looked at everyone whose full attention was towards her.

"But what baby??" Ajay asked her.

Aashi took a deep breath to gain strength to say whatever bothering her and asked Mahi and Amisha to sit down.

She looked them and told them what she wanted to say for the last two weeks but was not getting the chance "But stop hiding things from me thinking I am weak. I know that you all love me a lot so do not want me to get hurt but you all may not be with me every moment to protect me. I am not saying this to hurt you all but please try to understand me, I want to learn to stand up for myself, I also want to be strong like Di (sister) who don’t afraid of anyone, I also just want to be Aashi who has a different identity of her own, who can stand firm in front of any difficulty. I'm tired of being what I am. It's not that I am not proud of myself but I want to be better. Please help me with this. I want you all to stand by my side, not like a shield in front of me, but shoulder to shoulder."

With every word her voice got heavy and her eyes breamed with unshed tears but this time she didn’t not want to be weak but wanted to tell what she had stored in her heart till now.

She had accepted that she will do anything to make her marriage successful and ease Vishant's pain but she wanted respect and equality where she could say anything to him without fear because she couldn’t spend her whole life like this. She had no problem in obeying Vishant if it was good for them but she didn’t want him to dominate her and a life where her thoughts and opinions had no value.

There was no doubt that Vishant loved her with his everything and could do anything for her, as he promised her that he would take therapy to control his anger issue and he was taking it, but it was not enough because it was not only Vishant's fault, it was also her too, not only was his anger a problem, but she was also overly submissive, which allowed Vishant to dominate her, which was not right.
