❝ I guess our story ends here.❞

Raghav's POV,

I was sitting on my chair and going through some documents of the next surgeries when Siya barged into my cabin with a horrified look on her face. I rushed towards her as she put her hands in mine.

"Siya! What happen? Are you okay?" I handed her a glass full of water after settling her in a chair and she gulped it in one go. My heart beating wildly into my chest as if it would come out now or then.

After I rubbed her back and she calmed down a little, I bent down to her level. Putting my index finger under her chin I urged until she looked back at me with her tear-stained eyes. My heart clenched to see her in pain— like the day I saw her leaving.

"Ra-Raghav...h-he..."

"Who Siya?"

"H-he Da-danish... he'll ki-kill you.." saying this she covered her face with her palms as numerous sobs came after and I frowned.

What was he doing here?

"Siya. Siya, he can't do anything! It must be a joke to scare you. Bel-"

"NO! HE WASN'T JOKING... he was se-serious..."

Why was he scaring her? What was his problem now?

"Tell me what happened between you and him," I asked her as she finally looked up at me, preparing how to start.

"I was returning by the hallway after cleaning a newborn, that's when..."

🍃

Siya was too busy with her thoughts that she didn't catch someone following her.

Before she could take a turn she was yanked to a nearby door as the stranger put a palm over her mouth to muffle her scream.

She looked over to see Danish was smirking down at her and was gripping her waist tightly. She gave him a very angry look and eyed to where he was holding her.

He left her only to cage her by putting his arms over the door, intensely staring at her lips. But when he was about to put his finger on it she removed her face to another side only causing him to let out a dark chuckle.

"What.do.you.want?" she asked him through gritted her teeth as calmly as possible.

"You." her eyes widened to hear him as she tried to move from there by pushing his chest but he caught hold of her wrist and pulled her body closer to him.

"Leave me or else I'll scream!" she threatened to which he just shrugged carelessly.

"Don't you want to know who send you and Raghav's picture to your parents, babygirl?" Though she cringed to hear the name, her curiosity told her to listen.

"Who?"

"It was me." she gasped.

"Yes! It was me who clicked your pictures and edited them as intimate as possible. Don't you think I'm such a great editor?" He faked collared himself as she just scoffed at his words.

Tears started gathering in her eyes after remembering that incident. It was him who did it all, the reason for their separation. What else she could expect from this bastard.

"No! I'm not finished yet. I'm not a stupid doctor Siya. I'm in the mafia you know? In a disguise of doctor only to keep an eye on both of you."

"Wh-"

"I.am.not.finished. if you want to keep your sweet boyfriend safe then you've to come with me or-"

"I'LL NEVER COME WITH YOU! CAN YOU LISTEN? YOU PSYCHOPATH!" she yelled at his face as hot tears rolled down her cheeks and she felt her body go numb.

She couldn't believe he was in the mafia! It was too much for her brain to proceed through.

Pushing him with all her force she started running as his voice laughing from behind,

"BE READY FOR HIS DEATH!"

🍃

Raghav's mouth parted in shock by listening to her. He was aware of Danish's obsession with Siya but never imagined he could go to this extent.

His clouds of thoughts were cut when her sobs got louder this time, "H-he wi-will ki-kill yo-you ju-just fo-for m-me..."

"Hey! Shh... I'm fine. He can't do anything to me. We'll inform the police. Don't worry." he cooed to her as his shirt got wet by her fresh tears.

A knock on the door startled them both as Siya was fast enough to wipe her drenched eyes and moved away a little from his side.

"Come in!" Raghav called to which a frantic Natasha barged into the cabin to see her best friend was sitting there. She ran towards her and gave her a bear hug,

"Are you alright? You scared the hell out of me!" Concern was visible on her face. After getting a positive response from her she turned to Raghav who has now positioned himself in his armchair gazing over at them.

"Sorry Dr. Mishra, I was becoming nervous to not find her anywhere." he nodded quietly.

"By the way, Dr. Jha was looking for you Siya. We have the surgery from 4 pm onwards. Since he was asking to watch your skills." she informed her after closing the door and left from there.

"I-I've to go...um... sorry fo-"

"NO. no sorry. I can understand. Now smile, muskurate huye acchi lagti ho." She smiled hearing her own statement from him after so many years, causing a ton of butterflies to blow into her stomach as a little blush covered her soft cheeks.

"Thank you," she muttered shyly after waving a goodbye; leaving him chuckling at her cute antics. Indeed she was the epitome of perfection in his eyes. If it was him he could admire her all day long without being bored, he thought.

🍃

"Right. It was a hard surgery where there was a huge chance to lose the baby. And I must say it's very difficult for her to do the critical operation at such a young age when I, myself was all sweaty. I wonder if she'll become a doctor before the time comes and I can bet, you might be walked passed Dr. Mishra in this!" Dr. Jha was very impressed by Siya's work in the OT as all the doctors exchanged an amused look when only Raghav's eyes glistened with utmost pride for her success as if he didn't mind at all the mockery tone of Dr. Jha's. He felt so much happy that he couldn't hold the urge to hug her tighter in his arms.

In between their conversation, Siya didn't notice they were comparing her with him and she felt herself on cloud nine. The deep-buried ego in her heart caused her unfazed about everything but not after her eyes landed on his figure who was staring at her with admiration on his face.

Her heart took a backflip to see the person whom she thought should burn in jealousy was smiling at her as she felt herself so low in front of him. Though humans have their flaws but comparing herself with Raghav was what Siya never imagined she could be able to do. She felt guilty for thinking herself better than him. Because none could be as perfect as him. Never.

After the meeting ended Raghav took her hands and led her to an empty side and surprised her by hugging her tightly.

But what shocked her more was when a tear slipped down from his eyes and his green eyes stared deeply into her. She traced the teardrop with her fingers,

"It's happy tears. Congratulations!" He chimed happily.

"Don't you feel jealous?" She blurted out, failing to hide the strong urge.

"Why would I, when your success is my success?" she was taken aback by his statement. No ego. Which was quite weird for a renowned doctor like him. He had been the same one who used to give his credit to others, easily leaving his place for others' happiness.

A smile tugged over her lips to know the Raghav whom she loved was the same. She hugged him more tightly as she felt so content that she didn't take any wrong decision by choosing him as her man.

Her man.

Her heart felt warm and safe around him.

But who knew if it wasn't a mask in front of his usual self.

What are Danish intentions?
