Obsessive Flames of Love

Listening to his words, Tanvi felt a lump in her throat. She saw his expression, his dark black eyes, she found a pure man behind his facade, and he is not a monster whom she feared.

He became a normal man who fears losing her, who lost his mother when he is a kid. Tanvi understood, “Behind the cruel man, there is an ordinary man who lacks affection and love.” Tanvi didn’t understand one thing, ‘people are plotting against him and her’.

By the time bright sun rays were striking her, Rudra had left the mansion. Tanvi anticipated seeing him, but she didn’t have that chance. She felt bored staying in the palace, yet the people didn’t allow her to go outside. She dialed Rudra for the first time, to get his permission.

“I want to go out. Your people are not permitting me to do so.” Tanvi said with a frown.

“Not now. We will go out soon,” Rudra said patiently.

“Hmph. What is this, Rudra? You married me, get me here, and not let me go outside? Is this called your so-called love? Caging me like this is not love and is called madness. Fuck you and your rules.” She shouted at him.

Unexpectantly, Rudra is silent this whole time. He regrets approaching her in the first place. He has unbearable pain of breaking her heart and fear of anything happening to her. He is way more stressed.

His company is facing losses, and his people were sacrificing their lives. He is feeling low like hell. No one knows what Rudra is facing, and he won’t show any emotion. He is cold like stone and an indifferent man to the world.

“Listen, Tanvi, this is not the correct time. Stay at home. I promise you. I will take you out. Give me a little more time.” Rudra said in a not so harsh tone.

Meanwhile, Lucas, Diana, and their men were surrounding the mansion. Rudra got the information, and he immediately decided to go there. His gut feeling is saying, ‘something will happen’ for sure.

To his annoyance, his gut feeling never went wrong to date. He hated to admit this, but he is struggling a lot to fight this battle without much sacrifice.

Tanvi is more than adamant, she doesn’t know the situation, and she is unaware of the danger.

She is thinking of ways to go out, after some struggle, ‘yay. I found a brilliant idea’. Tanvi exclaimed and secretly went into the maid’s dressing room and got a burkha with her.

She dressed up in that burkha, which covered her whole face and body. She smirked proudly and again attempted to go out of the mansion.

“Huh. After many days I came out, and oh god, it felt awesome.” Tanvi felt grateful and mumbled under her breath.

She removed her burkha and was in ripped jeans and a crop top. Simple, but classy attire, since she is a fashion designer too.

On the other hand, Rudra got to know through the signal from her ring, that she is moving away from the mansion. His heart sank and ordered to speed up the car.

In a few minutes, their enemies got her vision and became ready to shoot her.

She is smiling and enjoying the view of nature unknown to the danger.

She is running, shouting, and dancing like a crazy woman. Since it was a private island, very few people are present, and she felt like she is the only person. Their people were attempting to focus on her, but she is not giving them a chance.

Rudra’s men also got the news and got out to save her. Heavy tension appeared on the island. People were on red alert, everyone holding guns, surrounded by strong fighters with bulged muscles and frightening appearances.

Fortunately, Rudra reached the place on time, and he noticed his enemies’ presence. His muscles tensed with the adrenaline rush, and he immediately ran out towards Tanvi.

Instantly, a bullet fired from a pistol, and the sound reminded him of that night. He shouted her name, and she was startled and moved aside, lucky she escaped!

Rudra’s men were still approaching the scene, and a series of bullets got fired, Rudra is fighting with his two guns, and Tanvi is frightened to her core seeing the scene.

She didn’t understand what is happening? Meanwhile, Diana focussed on Tanvi and shot twice at her.

Rudra saw that, and the fear of anything happening to his beloved wife drove him insane. He pushed Tanvi to him, causing the bullet to dig into his chest and stomach.

Rudra groaned, and blood spilled onto Tanvi. He puked blood out, and Tanvi is shocked to see it.

She felt a huge blow and was stuck there. Diana left the gun and was shaken to her core, and Lucas entered the battle.

Rudra got shot, he is on his knees, yet he is reluctant and is still shooting to beat Lucas. “Go away from here, Tanvi,” he shouted with all his strength.

She is crying on seeing him like this. The almighty king is like this because of her. “I cannot leave him in this state.” She is grounded. “Run from here now.” He screamed with the little energy left in him.

“I will be with you no matter what. Don’t push me aside, Rudra.” She said with determination in her eyes and voice. After the words left her mouth, she is stunned.

She didn’t understand what happened to her and what made her speak like that. Meanwhile, Rudra’s men approached the scene, and the battle begins, but Rudra became unconscious with the excessive loss of blood.

Tanvi lost her wits on seeing him in that state, and she is crying her heart out. “Rudra got the bullet to save me. My husband, the man whom I thought I hate, whom I called a monster, took the shot for me and is now motionless.”

Blood is flowing uncontrollably from his body. Rudra’s men managed to drag him into his car without much damage, and Tanvi hopped into the car and roared the accelerator. Her hands are shaking, and tears are flowing breathlessly.

Using the map, she reached the hospital and admitted him. Tamaz and Maahir made the required arrangements at the hospital before her arrival and were on their way.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Rudra is in the ICU, and the doctors were operating on him for the past four hours. Tanvi stood there like a statue outside the OP. The nurses and other medical staff are running to and fro from the operation theatre.

On seeing that, her heart is sinking to the depths. She blamed herself for not listening to him. She is weeping, not knowing what to do to save him. “I cannot forgive myself if you did not wake up, Rudra. Please wake him up, God.” She sobbed her heart out.

All the moments they spent were appearing in front of her as memories. Tanvi hated to admit it, “but he gave me the warmth and comfort when I needed them the most, though not in an ordinary way.”

“But he did everything for my safety, risking his life for me was beyond anything.” With that, she remembered how he took the bullet for her.

“I never believed when you said you will do anything for me even showing your back to the world.” She dozed off in the days when they were still Ms. Tanvi and Mr. Rudra and felt numb with her foolishness.

“Taking the bullet for me means am I worth beyond your life to you?” She questioned herself, but it felt more like a statement to her.

“But, Why Rudra? What Have I done to you to be this obsessed with me?” She is reminiscing their moments, and a sudden flash of Rudra in the pub on the day she lost her job got struck her.

She is bewildered, and words were not coming from her mouth. “It means we were closer than I thought? But why did you do this for me? Why did you put your life in jeopardy for me?”

Memorizing him in this state, she felt a heavy pain in her heart and felt suffocated. “You are the mighty Rudra and the only successor for the Chauhan Group of Companies. How can you prioritize my life before yours??”

Tanvi burst out in tears remembering him drenched in blood while her breath became much more difficult to her.

After an hour, the lights in the operation theatre turned off. Tanvi ran to the doctor anxiously, she is waiting to hear that he is okay, his life is not in danger. But destiny will not be that manageable.

“How is he doing, doctor?” Tanvi asked with a hoarse voice. Tamaz and Maahir are waiting for the news. Their mood dampened to see the powerful Rudra on a bed, lying in an unconscious state. They never expected it would turn out like this.

“We did our best, but we cannot say anything at this moment.” The doctors said.

After hearing it, Tanvi’s heart broke, and a piercing pain hit her. She felt unbearable grief. The fear of losing him stabbed her deep in the heart. “Can I see him?” She asked in a barely audible voice.

“Not now, Ms. Tanvi. We will shift him to the general room, then you can see him.” With that, the doctor left.

Tanvi, unable to endure the pain to see him in this condition, collapsed right there. Tamaz and Maahir took her and admitted her to the hospital. They felt another setback seeing her faint silhouette.

They saw the fear in her eyes and understood that Tanvi fell for him without her notice.

“First Rudra, now Tanvi, Hey God!! What is happening to them?” Tamaz worried as he held his forehead.

Maahir is walking in front of Rudra’s room expectantly. “I never forget how much you helped me, Boss. I am like this just because of you, Boss. You made me the man who I am now.”

“Please save him, GOD. He is a very good man, save him. He needs to wake up. The love of his life realized his value. Don’t take him away now.” Maahir pleaded with tears in his eyes.

“Boss!! You must wake up to have her.” Maahir wiped away the teardrops.

A few hours had passed, and Tanvi woke up and is searching for Rudra. But he is nowhere to be found. She recollected that he is in an unconscious state.

She wept a lot and prayed a lot, but the mistakes are not easily be corrected. ‘Her single mistake costs his life.’

Two days passed by, yet there is no improvement in his condition. Tanvi approached the doctor and asked about Rudra.

“Ms. Tanvi, we removed the bullets from his body. But, Mr. Rudra took heavy stress, he struggled a lot mentally, and his body is not responding to the treatment. His brain is mentally dead now, and his body gave up.”

“There is no movement and will in him for his life. He is in a comatose state. We don’t know when he will respond. He might wake up at any time or never. You need to be patient.” The doctor said with pity.

Tanvi is depressed by listening to the words and blaming herself. “Because of me, you ended up like this. Please get well soon, Rudra.”

“I will listen to whatever you say, and I will not bother you with my drama. Please wake up.” Tanvi cried while holding his hand.

A week passed by, and he had not yet responded. Meanwhile, Tanvi got to know about Rudra a lot from Maahir and Tamaz.

How did Rudra get connected to her, and how much he loved and wanted her? How much he tried to protect her and why he did force her to marry him?

She found every answer behind his actions. She understood all the things he did for her. She felt unbearable pain for him, and unknowingly got connected to him and longed for him.

She promised, “I will wake you up, Rudra. Doesn’t matter how hard to get you back, I will not let my husband live his life in a comatose state.”

“You loved me when I never loved you, but when I realized and need you, you became unconscious. It is not fair. You need to wake up, Rudra.” She held his hand and kissed him for the first time, but sadly he is not feeling it.

“I want you, Rudra. I accept you as my husband. Only you are capable of my husband. I need you by my side. I am not able to see you like this.” She muttered wiping her tears from the corner of her eyes.

Gazing at his unconscious state, she added, “My dear husband, fight with me, shout at me, quarrel with me, do whatever you want, but please wake up.”

“Held me in your arms, kiss me, give me all the warmth and make me yours, Rudra.” She kissed his forehead and put her head on his chest with unexplainable emotion in her heart.
