A New Beginning(II)
It was past midnight both of them was sleeping peacefully in each other's arms. Suddenly Mrinal felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. She woke up with a jerk and clutched her stomach. She tried to reach bathroom as fast as possible.
' Hey Bhogoban!! (Oh my god!), Mira how can you forget your date is near. ' She felt like she will cry. It was really paining a lot. Her cute pyjamas already got stain and she feared that the bedsheet must be stained.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door of the bathroom ' Baby are you inside? Are you fine? Are you injured? I saw blood on the bedsheet. Open the door baby. Wait I will call doctor. '
' ye..s .. ye..s Abhi. I am not injured. I am coming.'
' But then why are you bleeding Mira? Please open the door or else I will break it.' He asked due to panick. His heart hammered when he saw blood on the bedsheets.
' I am.. fine.'
She was thinking what she will do. All the things are in her room. She also wanted to change her cloths. But she didn't take her cloths.
Abhi was standing by the door only.
' Mira please open the door at least let me see if you are fine or not. ' He begged her.
' I am .. fine Abhi.' She replied clutching her stomach. After coming here in Singh Raizada Mansion Devika used to take care of her during her periods. But she is also not here. Though there are so many female people to take care of her but right now no one is here. But still Devika used to take care her like a small child. Preparing hot bags, making coffee, hot chocolate even late night she used to stay with her.
She slowly sat on the floor as the pain was increasing only. Her legs were giving up.
' Mira I am coming inside.'
* Bang*
Abhay came inside as he broke the lock of the door . Entering inside the bathroom he saw Mrinal sitting in a corner in a curled up position sniffling softly.
He marched towards her in pure horror ' Baby!! What happened? '
She looked at him as he softly caressed her hair sitting near her ' I got my periods. Khub batha korche. ' (It's paining a lot.)
Abhay knew about it. His Choti ma told him about it. But looking at her crying face he understood it is very painful in her case. It broke his heart seeing her in pain. He knows what he needs to do. Once he helped his classmate in his school. She was also crying in pain that day.
He quickly picked her up and made her sat on the counter top with utmost care.
' Mira Baby take a warm bath. I will bring everything.' He kissed her temple and prepared a warm bath for her. He again picked her up and made her stand near the bathtub. Then he left the washroom to give her some time.
Mrinal slowly stepped inside the bathtub after removing her cloths. She took a warm bath and slowly wore her bathrobe.
She was about to go outside she heard a knock ' Baby are you done?'
' Umm yes. '
And the door was opened as Abhi came inside. He handed her sanitary pads and her cloths and said ' I am standing outside only. Call me if you need any help. '
He didn't want to leave her but still left.
She nodded her head in yes. She slowly wore the sanitary pad and then her new pair of pyjamas.
She thought to go out but called him ' Abhi you can come in.'
Her voice was low due to pain. Abhay came inside hurriedly and asked ' Do you need any help? '
' No.. I am done. '
Abhay understood she called her to take her back to the room. He picked her up in his arms. Mrinal leaned her head to his chest.
Coming out of the washroom he placed her on the bed softly not wanting to hurt her. He already changed the bedsheet when she was taking bath.
Abhay asked her ' Is it paining a lot?'
' It pains a lot. ' She said sadly. He felt a pain in his heart hearing her.
' Ok you lay down Mira. I am coming in minutes.'
She nodded and laid on the bed. Abhay went to kitchen and made hot chocolate for her. He came inside the room and called her ' Mira baby drink this you will feel better.'
He placed the pillow on her back. He gave her the cup which she happily took. She drank it and mumbled a thank you. Abhay asked her ' Want some more Baby? '
She replied in no. Then Abhay placed the hot bag over her shirt as she laid on the bed. Mrinal smiled at him ' I am fine Abhi. You can sleep also.'
' I am here only. I will sleep after you. '
She smiled at him and closed her eyes. Before drifting to sleep she felt a soft feathery kiss on her forehead and heard ' I love you baby. '
********************************
*6 days later*
Mira sat near the window. Her cramps are less now. Abhay was sleeping near her. In these 5 days Abhay took care of her like a new born. He made her sleep on his lap like a baby. He tolerated all her mood swings. He didn't let her walk by herself. He carried her to the bathroom every time she needed to use. He cooked her favourite food also. Mrinal was amazed with his tasty foods. She remembered his teary eyes when he saw the bedsheet covered with her blood due to periods on the second day of her menstrual cycle.
In these days he used to ask ' Is it paining ?' , ' You are fine na ?' etc in every 10 minutes. For these 5 days he did his office work inside their bedroom. He used to cuddle with her until she falls asleep. He even messaged her legs as she had leg cramps due to periods. She felt embarrassed as he is elder than her. But he cared less. She felt bad for Abhay as he was doing so many things from cooking for her to carrying her everywhere. Abhay didn't want to take risk with her. He loved doing all these for her. She felt blessed getting him as a life partner.
Soon her mind went to the words of that girl whom she met in the hostel ' Abhay Sir is not some mere Mafia. He is a mafia who saved me getting sold, who saved my life, my dignity and promised me that he will send me back to my parents. I know he will. He even talked with the person with whom I was getting married. He is my true saviour, my hero. And now after seeing you I can say god has blessed him with a such pure soul for all his good works. I know you two will be always happy. And yes do come and attend my marriage. I will be glad. '
Not only her every girl whom he saved was thankful to him.
She felt ashamed of her behaviour. How can she think him as a monster? He is an angel in the disguise of human but can be DEVIL also. The murder of Mohit Aggarwal was the proof. She still shivers remembering that.
One week before they attended her marriage where she proudly told everyone that Abhay was the person who saved her. Even the groom also thanked him in front of everyone.
