"She is living here since 2 months, Karan!" Abheer said shocking them all.
"What!" Rajput's stood up exclaming.
"What are you talking about Abheer? Say things clearly." Karan said in a little stern voice. Abheer so wanted to lash out on him for the way he talked, but controlled imagining himself in Karan's shoes.
"What is happening? Ruha, say something." Nitya asked making Ruhanika more nervous. 
"Wo... actually...." she looked at Abheer who nodded in return.
".....I was working in Ra..thore university as a Professor. That was where I met Abheer ji first time, when he was chief guest in an annual event some months before. He happened to save me from fall...ing when I fainted due to exhaustion in my pregnancy." Ruhanika said making the ladies gasp.
Coz this thing was unknown to Rathores too.
Abheer looked at his princess who was just looking at him with doe eyes. She became shy a little and hid her face when Abheer smiled at her.
"He then waited for me to wake up and then himself dropped me home that day. Since then we became really good friends. He used to pick me up and drop me to college so that I don't get tired using public transport. He used to make sure if I had my lunch properly or not, or had my supplements or not. He used to check on me if my baby is troubling me." Ruhanika chuckled remembering that days. They have come so far!
"It all happened when it was Abhay's birth anniversary. I went to Maa's temple to pray for him, that's when I was attacked by some goons." She still felt a little scared remembering that day.
"Th..they tried to kill me. The pandit ji of temple who luckily saw them dragging behind the temple came to my rescue. He hit one of them grabbing all of their attention. So I took a chance and ran to save myself. But I didn't realise when the main road started while running and I was in front of a car!.....
Some next moments went in blur and I was just numb in pain. The only last thing I remember was being carried away while I kept clutching onto my belly just praying for my unborn's safety." A small sob left her mouth. Ladies all stood their teary eyes.
"The moment I opened my eyes, my head was hurting. I saw my left arm and shoulder in a big plaster, my ankle was fractured. All I can feel was lot and lot of pain all over my body. But in all that I could not feel my baby inside me." Her voice shivered a little.
"I panicked remembering the accident, the goons and attack. All I wanted to know was safety of my baby and that little life didn't leave me like her father!" Her tears left her eyes.
"It was Abheer ji who calmed me down. Who told me where I was, that my baby was fine and with me in this world. She was born prematurely, that's why kept in NICU for some days. Since then Abheer ji was with me in the hospital taking care of me. He didn't leave even for his important meetings to take care of me. I met whole Rathore family for the first time in hospital. They took care of me just the way you would've done maa-babasa. They used to sent all the 3 meals for me, used to come visit me everyday to not let me get bored. 
I was told not to put pressure on my feets and much physical movement due to my fractures. That time I was so scared and worried that how would I manage myself and Abhaya once I was discharged. But, Rathores and Abheer ji came to my rescue. They told me that I have to come with them so that they can take care of me and help me with Abhaya. I was hesitant at first but their genuineness and care made me agree. I swear maa they literally made me feel like I was at my mayeka!" Rajput's smiled in tears when they saw how happily Ruhanika was describing about Rathores. 
"They didn't let me do anything. Maasa used to feed me with her own hands. The younger clan was mostly busy with Abhaya. They took care of me a lot in initial days when I was healing. And Abheer ji was always there. You know bhaisa, it was Abheer ji only who named Abhaya!" Ruhanika said smiling at Abheer.
