GARDEN TALES

SAANVI'SPOV

Its been a week and my ansh is not talking to me .
Dad says he is suspicious of me...and is trying to find the truth

But the main thing is who changed the reports ..if it wasnt me ?

Currently, I am in the room  when Aadhya storms in.
Aadhya : Bhabhiiiii, aap mujhe classical dance sikhao , please.....
Saanvi : kyu ?...tujhe to classical dance pasand  nhi tha
She blushed and said "Avyan ko  pasand h jo ladkiya classical dance krti h"
I laughed .
Avyan is her school crush.
Aadhya : Bhabhi maa, pleasee.....next week  is dance competition and i have submitted my name for participation.

I gasped and said " u did this!!!!??? to impress ur crush!!!!??...itna pyaar kaha sikh liya "

Aadhya blushed and giggled and said " aapse aur bhaiya se"

I hummed and said " Aachha , i will change my clothes and we can practice dance in ur room"

Aadhya smiled and says " bhabhi, garden me practice krege pleasee"

I nodded.

After sometime , 

We both entered the garden in  matching green kurti and plazo set.

"Okay," I clapped my hands, "let's start with the basic mudras first."

Aadhya tried to follow my movements, but her hands were stiff and her expressions even stiffer. I chuckled. "No, no... your eyes should speak, Aadhya. Classical dance isn't about steps; it's about emotions."

She pouted dramatically. "Emotions tab aayenga jab  mera Avyan dekhega."

I burst out laughing. "Yeh love ka chakkar tujhe bigaad dega!"

As I adjusted her posture and showed her a few moves, I noticed movement from the balcony above. My eyes flickered up — Ansh.

He stood there, phone to his ear, face half-hidden in shadow. His usual work-call expression — composed, stern, unreadable. But when his gaze met mine for the briefest second, he paused mid-sentence.

Then... he hung up.

And raised his phone again.

Recording.

My heart fluttered before I could stop it. But I quickly looked away, pretending to fix Aadhya's stance.

I could feel his gaze on me .
Aadhya noticed it too and teased me " bhabhi , bhaiya ka dil ki heartbeat light ki speed se bhie jyada tez h abhie "

I giggled and blushed and whispered" ignore him ".
After an hour  of practice, Aadhya grew tired and ran away to grab water and for a quick break .
I stayed back  and was about to turn around to go to the table in the garden where i kept a rubber band .
I went there and felt the familiar scent behind me.

I ignored him and began to tie my hair up in a ponytail. 

I could feel him staring at me.

I whispered " aese kyu dekh rhe ho ?"

He whispered back " Dekh rha hu ki koi itna khoobsurat kese ho sakta ...tum toh chand se bhie jyada haseen ho....aur khule baalon me toh tum meri jaan hi le leti ho "

He says and take away the rubber band from me .
I turn around and look at him and said " ignore kyu kr rhe ho aap mujhe ?"
He smirks and says " sach bata do ...aur main tumhara hojaunga "
He held my hand and said " chalo , tumhe kisise milwata hu "

I frowned and followed him .

He took me to the other side of the garden where he has forbidden me to go.
I said " Ansh, why are we here?"

He shrugs and i heard a roar and flinched.

Ekansh smirked as i hide behind his back .

He opened a secret door and we entered the other side .

I peeked in and saw no one  and sighed.

But then i felt some soft furs on my plazzo and gulped and whispered " ansh"

Ekansh laughed and said " Saanvi , relax ...he is my baby ~ my hades...he is a good boy ...he is not dangerous "

I widened my eyes and look down and saw a white tiger with pretty blue eyes and  i froze.

I look at ansh and made puppy eyes and he pursed his lips in order to stop his laugh .

I then moved my gaze towards hades and he growled .

I flinched and jumped into ansh's arms.

Ekansh laughed and said " Hades, calm down buddy .....your mommy is a bit scared of you ...give her sometime ..i know you missed her ."

I frowned and look at ansh .

He smiled and said " I have been training him to meet you by using ur dupatta so that he can recognize you....and but from the last week, i havent met him ...but he still remember your scent ."

I nodded and he said " he wont harm you ....he is dangerous for the people who hurt u and not to u , vita"

I smiled and hesistantly  forward my hand and caress hades's head.

He let out a soft rumble as if saying that he likes me and pressed his head on my palm.

I whispered " he- he likes me ?"

Ekansh smirked, crossing his arms. "Obviously. I told you — he only senses danger, not innocence."
He paused, eyes flicking toward me. "That's why I brought you here. I wanted to see if he still trusted your scent."

I frowned, my hand still buried in Hades's fur. "Still? What do you mean by still, Ansh?"

He tilted his head slightly, that usual calm yet unnerving tone slipping back. "Someone was here last night. This gate was open. But Hades didn't react — which means whoever it was, smelled familiar to him."

My stomach tightened. "Familiar?"

He nodded once. "Either someone from this house..." His gaze landed on me, sharp enough to slice through the air. "...or someone he connects with you."

I frowned and said " so , you think ..i brought someone over ?"

Ekansh : I dont know ...whether to trust you or not , saanvi .

He then look at hades and says " take care of your mommy ...i have a meeting"

Hades nodded obediently and ekansh left

I giggled  and said " i dont like the name hades."

Hades look at me and made a sad face.

I settled down and sit on the grass and hades came and rested his head on my lap and caress his furs and then whispered" can i give u another name , hades ?"

Hades as if understanding me ..nodded.

I pouted and began to think while hades stared at me ..excited to hear his new name .

After 5 minutes, i clapped my hands excitedly and said " you are my golgappa ...cause i love golgappas"

Hades roared making me flinched and began to run around his garden happily.

I giggled and said " golgappa, ruko ..."

My golgappa stopped and came to me .

I reached out and scratched behind Golgappa's ears, giggling as he nudged my hand with his nose. "Okay, okay... you really like this name, huh?" I whispered, leaning closer to him.

He let out a soft growl, almost like a laugh, and rolled onto his back, showing his belly. I couldn't resist—my fingers grazed his fluffy belly, and he wriggled happily, pawing at the air.

I was playing with golgappa, when i heard someone speaking on phone call in the garden.

???? : Why dont you understand ...ekansh is still suspicious of our daughter - saanvi ?

?????? : I miss you too , darling...i will come to meet you tonight  at  our home...Bus kuch mahine aur ....i will create such a scene ki ..ekansh khud hi saanvi ko ghar se nikal dega...aur vaise bhie i am mixing slow poison in every Rathore's meals....so kuch mahino me ..Rathores are the end hojayega....i promise baby..... Ekansh aur Saanvi ki nine  months anniversary will be the day when  Rathore's legacy will vanish...and then no one can stop  you and me from being together.

The voice wasnt clear but i have heard this voice before .

I look at golgappa and said " mommy needs to go , baby "

I kissed his head and walked out to the garden and saw nobody .

I tried to snoop around when my phone pinged with a message from an unknown number ,saying " dont  do what you are trying to do ....curiosity kills the cat and i dont want to kill my own daughter "

I gulped and look around ..only to find myself alone in the garden.
