Our journey from engagement to marriage by Shipra Saini (thriller book recommendations TXT) 📖

His eyes turned to red due to anger. He clenched his jaw and fuming in anger. I put my hand on his face to calm him. He closed his eyes and take a deep breath. After that he took a cotton and dabbed in a sprit. He dab the cotton carefully on my lower lip. I fisted my hand tightly due its burning sensation.

I felt so blessed having him beside me this time. This is not the first time when someone one slapped me but this is the first time someone apply medicine on my wound. I feel so protected beside him. I wanted to forget everything for a second and wanted to be in his arms. I wanted to feel his warmth.

I throw the first aid kit on the floor with my hand which is placed on the couch between him and I, and hug him. He stumble little but balanced himself and hug me by my waist. I heard sound of glass but i ignored it. He pulled me more closer to me and buried his head on the crook of my neck.

"I'm sorry, I should have told you in first place when he first time threatened me." I said still hugging him. Tears came out from my eyes.

"Sshhh..Don't think about that. I will not let anything happens to you." He said while caressing my head still hugging me.

"I was afraid that he will do something worst to me so I didn't say anything to anyone and kept quiet." I said putting my head on his chest.

"He will not bother you again. But please never hide anything to me again. If something will bother you, you will tell me." He said while breaking the hug and carse my cheeks. I nodded my head while put my hand on his. I felt something wet on my hand. I looked at Siddharth's hand and its bleeding.

"Your hand is bleeding." I said holding his hand in mine which is turned into red due to his blood.

"May be got cut when he was traying to stab me with cutted glass. Leave it I'm fine." He said while taking his hand from me.

"No, it's not fine. We should have go to hospital." I said taking his hand back, tears are falling from my eyes looking at his hand.

"It's not necessary. It just a miner cut." He said.

"Stop acting like a child Siddharth. When will you grow. Let me dressing it." I said while wiping my tears and started looking at the first aid kit. My eyes fell on the broken spirit bottle and i cursed myself. I started looking around something which could help me to wash his wound.

"What are you looking at." He asked me.

"Do you drink?" I asked him looking at him.

"What..Yeah i mean sometime but why are you asking.?" He asked me confusingly.

"Do you have mini bar in your cabin?" I asked while looking at him.

"Preeti don't you think it's still early for drink." He mocked me.

I give him a 'not to mess with me right now' look.

He understand me by my look because next moment he pointed his finger at corner of the room. I got up from the couch and took a whisky bottle from the mini bar.

More tears fell from my eyes looking at his hand. He got hurt just because of me.

I took his hand and wash his hand with whiskey.

"Preeti where did you get the idea to wash the wound with drink." He asked me while i was busy washing his wound with whiskey.

"I watch in a movie. Some goons attacked a hero and he got hurted in between fighting with them. After that he washed his wound with his drink." I said still washing his hand.

He chuckled at my comment.

"You treated my wound just because you watched your hero treating his wound with his drink. What if something happened, what if infection spread my hand i have to cut it." He laughed.

"Shut up with your nonsense. I know what i am doing and it's just not because of the movie i read it somewhere, hard drinks contains the alcohol and alcohol is using to treat the wound." I said while applying the ointment on his wound. Thank god he didn't put it on the couch otherwise i also throw it on the floor. I really embarrassed from my previous act.

His cut is not deep but i am really afraid looking at his hand.

"Why you have to beat him like this just give him to the police. Now look you got hurt yourself." I said while whipping my tears with the back of my hand which fell from my eyes

I take my dupatta and tore a strip from it and started bandaged his wound with the strip. When I bandaged him he didn't say anything just looked at my every action.

He raised my chin with his hand and looked into my eyes. He came close to me and decreased the distance between us. He hold me by my waist and pull me towards him. My mind stop working, my heart beating fastly due to our closeness. He bent his head towards my neck and blow his hot air on it. I closed my eyes due to sensation. I clutched his shoulders tightly when i felt his soft lips on my neck. I felt the same sensation which i felt two years back.

I opened my eyes when he pulled himself from my neck then lips touched to my right cheek and he kissed me there and then to my left cheek. He then move to my forehead and kissed me there like he is telling me everything is gonna be fine. He is with me now and never going to leave me. I opened my eyes and looked at him. He is already looking at me intensely.

What are you doing to me Siddharth. Why are you making a difficult for me to stay away from you. I am afraid that If he keep doing this may be i will forgive him one day. It's already difficult why are you making it more difficult by staying close to me.

Suddenly his cabin's door open.

"Oh! I'm sorry I will come after sometime." Realization hit me and i pulled back from Siddharth when i heard Nick voice. He closed the door again and left.

"Are you fine now?" He asked me.

I nodded my head and said "I think i should leave."

I got up from the couch and walk towards the door.

"Preeti.. Are you still angry on me for my mistakes." I stop on my track when i heard his voice.

"Which mistakes are you talking about. If you asking about the loan, then I'm still angry on you." I said without looking at him.
