“I promise I will take care of her.”

Ranveer's POV

Next day as I was in my office working on some files my receptionist called me and told me that Sanjay Mathur wanted to meet me.

Why does Naina's Dad want to meet me?

I asked her to let Mr. Mathur in my cabin.

After few seconds he was in my cabin.

"First of all I am sorry sir, I was so engrossed in drinking that I did not think about anything," he apologized.

"I want to ask you one question.”

“What?” he asked.

“If I had not bought up the choice of marrying with Naina, what you would have done to return me my money back?" I asked.

"I have not thought about it," he lied and I did not say anything further.

"Sir I came here to tell you something as Naina’s Dad,” he said.

“Now you are getting married to Naina I want to tell you few things. Her Mom died while giving birth to her then I used to take care of her as we had no one because our parents were against our marriage. As she grew up, I started drifting away from her, first due to work and secondly due to my addiction. She does not know life as you do and is hardly aware of worldly matters. I will never call her stupid but she is naïve but you know what is best in Naina? She only listens to her heart and can go to any extent for the people close to her heart. Please take care of her as many people can take advantage of her nature," Mr Mathur told me.

"I know and I promise I will take care of her," I promised him.

Even though what he did was wrong and I can never forget how he betrayed me but at the end of the day he was Naina’s father and today he came here as her father to talk with me.

After that we started talking about marriage and he said that he does not want to invite anyone except Kamla Rai, their neighbour who was very close to Naina. I also had no guests from my side except for my Mom, Daya uncle and Harsh so we decided to get marry in temple tomorrow.

After some time he left and I called Mom. Mom was not happy when she heard we are getting married in temple but then she said that as I am getting married it all depends upon me and after talking with her for some time then I got back to my work.

*****

Next day I arrived at the temple and I looked at her. She had wore peach coloured lehenga, and even though she had worn no jewelleries except earrings yet she was looking beautiful but her eyes were red.

Maybe she had cried whole day.

I am so sorry for making you cry Naina but I will make sure this will be the last time you will be crying.

"Mom she is Naina," I introduced them and Mom hugged her.

"You are so beautiful," she caressed her cheek while complimenting her.

Pandit ji asked us to sit down and started the mantras.

After a while I put sindoor on her forehead and as I tied mangalsutra around her neck we both were married.

"Thank you once again for doing this for me Naina," her Dad said and hugged her.

"Naina I know you are against the marriage but please give a chance to Ranveer sir. I know him from a long time. He is a good boss but most importantly he is a good human being. I know Naina I could not become a good Dad but if I have done something good for you, that is getting you married with him. God has sent him because if I have chosen a groom for you he would never be good as Ranveer and I know you will not understand this now but soon you will understand and give him a chance. Okay?" he asked and she nodded her head in a yes.

An aunty came and stood in front of me.

"Ranveer in whichever circumstances you both got married but marriage is not a joke so please take care of her and I want to tell both of you one thing. Marriage is a teamwork. You cannot do anything alone. After marriage it is about doing everything together and making decisions after consulting each other because now you both are not alone, you cannot think of only yourself. You have to think about each other," she told us.

Maybe this is her neighbour, Kamla Rai.

"Aunty, I will take care of her and we both will keep in mind whatever you told us," I said on behalf of Naina and looked at her to see that she was already looking at me.

"Take care of yourself aunty and don’t take stress due to your school and tuition," Naina said as she hugged Kamla aunty and after few seconds they broke the hug and aunty kissed her forehead.

“Ranveer, take care of her and keep in mind what I told you. Never hurt your wife,” Mom told me as she hugged Naina.

“Welcome to our house Mrs Singhania, “ Mom said as she broke the hug and kissed Naina’s forehead.

"Congratulation, sir and madam," Harsh congratulated us.

"Thank you Harsh and Naina, he is my assistant, Harsh.” I introduced them and Naina gave him a small smile and greeted him back.

“This is Daya uncle, our house help,” I introduced them.

“Congratulations on your wedding sir and madam,” he greeted us.

“Thank you,” Naina said and gave a small smile.

After that we bid everyone goodbye and I kept her bag in the car and opened the car's door for her.

She looked at me and I smiled at her and gestured her to get inside the car.

She got inside and I closed the door and went and sat in the driver’s seat.

"So Mrs. Naina Singhania let's go to our home," I said with a smirk but she didn't say anything.
