Saanvi pov

I was thinking deeply about my concerns regarding Ishu, when my sight fell upon a car pulling up in the parking lot, outside the window.

It was Mr. Raghav's car.

What is he doing here?

I saw him getting out his car with a few people, or may I say bodyguards.

Ofcourse, he was the M.D of a big company.

Oh yes, I had forgot to mention, in these two months(I told you, you may consider two months skip), the company had gained many profits.

Soon, he disappeared from sight, and few moments later, there was a knock on the door to let people inside know that someone was about to enter. And slowly, the door opened.

And then, Mr. Raghav came inside with a seemingly tensed face.

In these two months, Mr. Raghav and Saanvi had gotten more informal and friends like work buddies.

Their cabins were attached, only seperated by a wall. Which again, was connected by a door.

This made their work more easier. And not to mention, their friendship to bloom easier too.

And both of them had started to care for each other in this duration, although as a brother and sister but always maintaining their professional identity.

"Mam, are you okay? I heard that a man has choked you. Wh-what happened? Why happened? How happened? No, why did it happen and how did it happen. Yes."

Raghav bombarded Saanvi with more questions and was clearly in no mood to stop just now, unless interrupted by someone.

"Raghav, Raghav, Raghav. Calm down. Look, I am fine. Ok? There is someone sleeping next to where you are standing and I would not like anyone getting disturbed by you."

Saanvi said in soft voice and looked at Nisha after saying it. The tone she used implied that she did not not care about Raghav's concern for her. But she would not like it if because of that worry, anyone, Nisha included, would be broken away from the peaceful slumber she was in right now.

"Sorry mam. But before that, you have to promise me one thing. You will not call me Mr. Raghav from now on. Only Raghav. As you did now. It feels nice from your mouth, and does not feel like I am talking to my boss.

"Ok, fine. But, you also have to promise me something," Raghav looked confused. "You too, would not call me mam but Saanvi. "

"Ok ma- I mean Saanvi." Raghav said and smiled. But soon, it changed again. And worry took over his gorgeous face once again.

Saanvi sighed, knowing this time, she would not be able to escape from telling Mr. Raghav-I mean Raghav the truth.

"Yes, you cannot escape from telling me the truth. About how you ended up here. How you met this girl, which I can see you did by the way you see her with worry filled eyes. Oh my, my heart hurts seeing it, you never gave me any kind of affection like this."

Raghav said being over dramatic. Of course, this fellow had to do this. But, it brought a smile to Saanvi's face but soon settled down too. Then, she began telling him everything.

"So, long story short, the day I arrived in the city, I wanted to breath some fresh air. But, I forgot it was the city, not the outskirts. So, I could not find it. But anyway, after a long time, I found a garden with beautiful flowers."

Then, Saanvi looked at Nisha and continued.

"When I was admiring the flowers, she came to me and introduced herself. And then started explaining the flowers and from where they came from. And after that day, I often used to visit her and we grew a bond like sisters. But I knew something was off, and yesterday, I was coming back after meeting her when I realised I had left my phone with Nisha. So I went back and knocked at her door. Even though no one came, I heard something breaking. And my instincts told me to see what was inside and I pushed the door and to my luck, It was unlocked. There, a man was beating Nisha." Raghav interrupted me.

"Who was that man? Why was he beating her?"

"That man was her father. And as to why he was doing it, I think I should let Nisha decide whether she wants to let you know or not.

And when the man saw me, he had his disgusting eyes on me. Then we had a small fight. And I called the police after I had locked him in a room. But he got out, I don't know how. Then, attacked me and tied me to a wall, maybe pillar. I don't remember. And also threw Nisha beside me, then choked me. But fortunately, till then police arrived and rescued us. And I know you are furious, so don't worry that man is in the jail,he will be treated as the way we like."

Saanvi huffed a breath after telling the story to him.

"Can I kill that, bastard?"

The way he said that made Saanvi laugh. But also admire him because he was ready to kill him because the man tried to hurt someone who he held dear.

"No, you can't. You are not a murderer. Don't ever even think about it. Besides, it is not your job to punish him, nor your right."

Saanvi looked at Ishu.

"It is the police's job to punish him and Nisha's right to punish him. We both are nowhere in it."

"I might not be in it, but you certainly are. He tried to kill you."

"Just because I got in the matter of his and Nisha's. Which I never will regret. Ok. Enough of this talk. I am really hungry. Did you bring something to eat?"

Raghav chuckled and shook his head. But took out a bag of food from a bigger bag.

"I can't believe you still want to eat food when you have nearly escaped death." Raghav said jokingly. Even though it was serious and he knew it.

"Shut up. Now let me it peacefully. Oh, did you eat. Oh, wait. I should have known the answer. No, you didn't. Am I right? Come on, let's eat."

Raghav said nothing, knowing he couldn't deny it. Because Saanvi knew him all too well.

When they were eating, they heard a shifting voice and looked at the hospital bed and saw Nisha was awake.
