Part 25

'Nikki wait ......' Abhi shouted, trying to stop Nikki from running away.

'Ouch ......' Nikki stopped, screaming in pain, as she twisted her leg, while running in a hurry to get away from him.

Immediately, he was besides her, squatting in front of her, taking her feet in his hands, as she stood on one leg, trying to balance herself taking support of his shoulder with one hand, and the other hand to lift up her saree a bit, so that he could have a look at what had happened to her.

'Stupid girl, look what you have done now!' he exclaimed in frustration. 'Your ankle is swelling up already.' He was now gently touching her ankle, trying to sooth away her pain.

'Nikki, I have yet to meet someone more stupid than you. First of all you wear these sky scraper heels, than you want to sprint wearing a saree. What do you expect to achieve, a gold medal for a 100 meter dash?' he asked angrily.

'Dr. Modi. Chodo mujhe ...... who asked you for help? I can manage on my own.' She retorted angrily, trying to put her feet down once again and walk away from him.

'Ou .........' she screamed as a sharp pain shot thru her ankle. And as soon as he saw her tear filled eyes, he felt bad for shouting at her ......

'Is it paining too much? I am sorry! Please Nikki ..... just let me help you!' saying that he lifted her in his arms. Her arms went around his neck, taken by surprise by his action, as her teary eyes looked into his concerned ones. She could hear his heart beat as fast as hers, as her head rested on his chest, and she snuggled even closer to him, seeking his warmth and support. He carried her effortlessly to a pool lounge chair which was lying close by. He made her sit there, with her legs stretched out in front of her. And he sat down next to her. Slowly he removed her heels, and took her tiny feet in his hands. He could not hold back a smile, as he thought ..... even her feet were so tiny compared to his hands. And a feeling of protectiveness overtook him and a serious expression came back on his face. He felt her ankle slowly, caressingly and tried to rotate it slowly .....

'Ou ......' she let out once again, pain showing in her eyes.

'I am sorry Nikki! Is it hurting too much?' he asked softly, pain reflecting in his eyes too. 'It looks like a ligament tear. I will have to go and get some ice first and then will have to put a bandage around it. That will ease your pain.' Saying that he got up to go. But Nikki stretched her hand out and held his hand.

'It's paining too much. Please don't go. It is too dark here. No one is here. I am scared.' She said with tears gathering once again in her eyes.

'Nikki, just give me a minute. I really need to put ice on your ankle, else it is going to get much worse. Please ...........' saying this he cupped her cheek. Slowly, she let his hand go, but fear and pain clearly visible in her eyes. Abhi's felt a strange heaviness in his heart, on leaving her, even though it was for just a few minutes.

He pickup some ice from the bar and rushed back to Nikki. As soon as Nikki, saw him, there was a big relief on her face and she let out a huge sigh. Abhi realized that she had been holding her breadth in fear of being alone in the dark.

'Nikki, relax, I am back now. And your ankle will also become alright.'

He started applying ice on her ankle. She winced in pain and the chillness of ice. Abhi was very gently, and kept on rubbing his warm palm on her ankle in between to sooth her and take away the chill from the cold ankle. Slowly, Nikki felt the pain ease, and she started relaxing. She rested her back and head on the chair and looked at Abhi lovingly. Just then even he looked up, and saw her love filled eyes on him. And his heart missed a beat. He had been dying to see that look in her eyes .....

'Is it better? Has the pain receded?' he asked.

When Nikki nodded her head affirmatively, he stopped rubbing the ice. He took her feet in one hand and held her leg with the other. Slowly started rotating the feet, to see if her ankle could take it. And this time she did not wince. Satisfied that she was better, he let the leg down slowly.

But his other hand which had been holding her small feet, now started caressing her feet gently, moving from her heel to her small toes. He smiled as he noticed, how they were painted in bright red colour. His thumb was now stroking the inner arch of her feet, and he could see that she was not objecting to his caresses, but infact enjoying, as she closed her eyes in resignation.

'Nikki ....... ' he whispered. And she slowly opened her eyes. He could see the same desire what was rushing within him, reflected in her eyes.

He moved up closer to her on the reclining chair, to bend his head close to her, to take her lips in a kiss once again. And she was ready and eagerly waiting this time, as her lips parted for him. She could feel his urgency as his tongue entered her mouth ..... teasing her, tasting her, making her go crazy with desire, till she could not resist him anymore. She was completely lost ...... in the passion of his kiss. She did not even realise, when their positions reversed, as he was now lounging in the chair, and Nikki was lying half over him, tightly held in his arms, their lips still sealed in a kiss. Her petite body was pressed so close to him, that they both could feel each and every part of their body fussed together. As his lips moved from her mouth, down to her shoulder, giving her light kisses all the way, his hand started exploring her bare back. And every time his hand stopped at the string that held her blouse on her back, her heart beat quickened. She had no idea that it took every bit of his will power, from undoing that string ..........

'Nikki ...... ' he whispered with an urgency that she could not understand, looking at her deeply into her eyes, 'do you know what you are doing to me?'

And as she looked up, blushing profusely, 'I am like a lost traveller in a desert who hasn't had water for days together, and you are like my oasis. Can u imagine what will happen when I come close to you!'

Slowly, he released the pressure with which he was holding her, so that she could move away. But she was unable to move, mesmerized by him. She kept on looking at him, taking in each and every detail of him, his eyes hooded with his desire for her, his beautiful lips, which transported her to heaven every time they touched her, his strong jaw with a slight stubble which tickled her every time it touched her, his firm neck and his strong shoulders. She could spend days just gazing into those beautiful brown eyes, kissing those amazing lips, caressing that rough stubble, and snuggle her face safely into that neck. Slowly she bent her head and kissed his neck gently, just where his pulse was beating at a super fast speed. Nikki had been unable to stop herself from undoing his first few shirt buttons, as her hand had creeped inside on its own, feeling each and every inch of his smooth mascular chest. Her roving lips and soft fingers were taking his desire to newer heights and ......

'Nikki, you don't know ..... you are treading on a very thin ice. You are inviting trouble ..... than don't tell me that I didn't warn you.' Abhi whispered still trying not to loose complete control over his senses. His sweet temptress was going to kill him today for sure, he thought.

Hearing his voice, Nikki, suddenly realised what she was doing. She jerked herself out of his arms and sat up feeling embarrassed. She straightened her saree cautiously and tried to get up. But was unable to stand on her feet and fell back onto the chair, into Abhi's lap. She looked at him shyly, not knowing what to do.

'Wait!' Abhi told her gently, then moved her to the chair, got up and bent down, giving her sandals in her hands, scooped her effortless into his arms. With her arms wrapped around his neck he carried her back to the deck, where everyone was dancing and enjoying the evening.

'Nikki, kya hua?' Ridhima was the first one to notice Abhi carrying her. And she came running towards them.

Then everyone followed ......

'Oh ..... it is nothing to worry about. She twisted her ankle while we were taking a stroll. I think it's a ligament tear. I already applied ice, but her ankle is still sore. She is unable to put weight on it. It needs to be bandaged and she needs to give it a rest.' Abhi explained to everyone as he gently put her down on a chair. He pulled another chair and lifted her leg gently to rest on it. And moved away, as everyone wanted to check out if she was fine.

'Guys, please don't worry. It is nothing ..... I am okay. If someone can give me a pain killer, I guess I will be fit to go.' Nikki replied with a smile.

'Here you go, Nikki.' Ridzi produced a medicine from the first aid box. She also took out a crap bandage and started wrapping it tightly around her ankle. Nikki winced, as she felt a small bit of pain shoot through the ankle. And she looked up to see straight into those chocolate brown eyes, which were worriedly observing her.

'You okay?' Abhi asked seeing her wince.

And Nikki just nodded her head. She was worried that if she tried to speak to him, her voice will betray the turmoil which was going within her.

'Guys, please you all go ahead and enjoy yourselves, I am fine here. I will just enjoy myself looking at you all having fun.' Saying that she urged all of them to go ahead and dance.

She found Sneha looking expectantly at Abhi, maybe thinking he would ask her for a dance. But Abhi did not show any interest. Then she moved towards him and asked,

'Abhimanyu, how about a dance? I haven't seen you dance even once! Come lets go.' Saying that she literally pulled him to the dance floor. Abhi could not say no without hurting her, so just kept quiet and did not object. But when he turned around, he saw that Nikki looked very pissed off. Luckily for him she cannot run away anywhere, he thought to himself!

As the music was fast, Abhi could maintain a distance between him and Sneha. Finally as the song ended, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the ordeal was finally over. Just as he was about to tell Sneha that he was heading back to sit down, he heard Ridhima's voice,

'Abhimanyu, it is my turn now. Remember your promise' she said teasing him. But he threw a worried look towards Nikki, which made Ridhima laugh at him,

'Don't worry, Nikki will not kill you for dancing with me. She may not trust you, but she trusts me completely' she said mocking him.

Saying that both of them started dancing together, as Armaan went and sat next to Nikki.

'So how is it going?' Ridhzi asked Abhi, giving him a knowing look. Abhi knew exactly what she was trying to ask.

'I don't know!' Abhi replied, after a long time, thinking deeply. 'I have hurt her so deeply, that she is finding it very difficult to trust me again.....'

'But ......' Rihzi prompted him.

'But I know that she loves me. I know that she is not happy without me. But the question is .... will she be happier with me?' he asked Ridhima with a sadness that made even Ridhzi sad.

'Ofcourse, Abhimanyu. You know you can make her happy. We all know that her happiness lies with you. But both of you are stubborn. You find it very difficult to accept that you love each other and cannot live without each other. And the day you both accept it .... everything will be fine.' She replied.

But Abhi still wasn't sure about what Ridhzi was saying .....

'Moreover, she is noting the subtle changes in you. She appreciates this new you. She knows that you have made an effort to make upto her, by taking care of her friends, even though she was not around. So don't worry, just keep pursuing her, don't give up, and you will see that she will relent' She said with a smile.

On the other hand, Nikki was seeing Abhi and Ridhzi dancing as well as in a deep conversation. She was very surprised that Armaan who was sitting next to her, was so cool about it.

'Armaan, kya hua? How come there is no reaction from you, even on seeing Ridhzi dance with him? The old Armaan would have punched him by now.'

'You are right, Niks. The old Armaan would have punched the old Abhimanyu. But not anymore, I already told you that we both have changed. Actually loosing you, changed both of us.' He replied sadly. 'I missed you so much, Niks. Don't go away again.' He told her squeezing her hand and looking into her eyes.

But she didn't reply to his request. For she knew that it was not possible for her to stay back. So diverting the conversation, she said,

'Ridhzi seems to have a lot to say to Dr. Modi, nahi?'

'Hmmm, you know they both have always shared a special bond. Though Dr. Modi is not a very open person, he somehow listens to her. And they both understand each other without saying much to each other. And one person who can read a riot act to him, apart from his mom and Tia, is Ridhzi. He will listen to whatever she says.'

Nikki smiled at Armaan and said sadly, 'I am glad ...... atleast Abhi had someone whom he could talk to.'

'Nikki ..... why don't you give him another chance ..... maybe it will work out this time. Do you want to loose him forever? Are you ready to see him with someone else? Will you be able to find your happiness with someone else?'

Nikki looked at Armaan, very surprised to hear all this from him. She could never believe that Armaan and Abhi would get along, after what all had transpired between them. But surprises never seize .....

And thinking about what Armaan was saying, she became sad. Suddenly the sight of Sneha and Abhi dancing together came before her eyes, and she muttered to herself, 'I will kill whoever comes close to him.'

Armaan looked at her with surprise, and asked, 'Did u say something to me, Nikki?'

Nikki was embarrassed with her reaction, and just shook her head. By now the music had ended and Abhi and Ridhzi were walking back towards them.

'I missed you ......' Armaan told Ridhzi flirtingly, his loving eyes on her beautiful face.

'Armaan, tum bhi na! I was away for just a few minutes .......' Ridhzi told him blushingly.

'Kya karu, Basket, tumhare bina, few minutes are also like few hours ......' he said teasingly.

Abhi was now looking longingly at Nikki, his eyes expressing the same sentiments .... that Armaan was talking about .....only he could not put them into words! This last one year without her had been like a lifetime in hell. It is true what everyone says that you realize the value of a person only after loosing them. He had realized Nikki's importance in his life only after she walked out of his life. And if she leaves him once again ..... he didn't know what he will do or how he will live without her .... he did not want to talk think about it also .... he firmed up his mind that he had to talk to her ..... convince her not to leave him again ..... convince her to give him one more chance.

'Chalo, lets go dance ......' Armaan took Ridhzi by her waist and walked away to the dance floor.

Abhi came and sat down next to Nikki. The music was quiet loud, so he decided to sit close to her, so that they could have a conversation.

'So Nikki, tell me how do you find your work? Are you enjoying it? Do you like the new hospital? Is it as good as Sanjeevani? Have you made friends there?' Abhi surprised her by trying to make a conversation with her ......

'Why do you want to know all this?' She asked him suspiciously.

'Nikki, u have such a suspicious mind! I am just curious. I just want to know ..... that's all.' he told her getting a bit irked by her behaviour.

Feeling guilty she replied, 'The hospital is good ..... and I am loving my work. It is really interesting and I have got a chance to work with one of the leading doctors in paediatric oncology ...... couldn't have asked for anything more' she said enthusiastically. 'This keeps me very pretty busy ..... so haven't got much time to socialize.' The last part she said avoiding his intent gaze on her.

And he understood .... that she had also buried herself in her work ..... to get away from her thoughts .... to forget about everything else. And once again he felt sad, that he had hurt her so badly .... and now both of them were suffering.

'Nikki, will you be ever be able to forgive me and come back here?' he asked her softly.

She just kept on looking at him. Atleast, this time she could not run away from him, without answering. Then with a sadness in her eyes, she looked away saying,

'It is not easy! You hurt me very deeply, Abhi. It will take me a long time to forgive you and forget about it. Believe me that I am trying very hard, but .........'

'I understand, Nikki. But as I have told you earlier too ..... I am sorry about what I said that day. I don't know why I jumped to that conclusion. All I can say is that, I was already very jealous looking at your friendship with Siddhant, and then when he said he was not approving the financing ..... I just flew off my handle ....... lost all control ..... was not able to think straight ..... I don't know how I could forget that how hard you had worked to get the land allocated from the minister ..... inspite of the fact that I had given up on it ..... also how hard you were trying to understand me and make our relationship work .... were also trying to get your friends to accept me. I was jerk .... for saying all those rotten things to you, but all I can say is that I loved you a lot then ..... and was always scared of getting hurt.'

'And now .......?' she asked expectedly.

'And now ..... I love you even more, Nikki!' he said looking at her with eyes full of love. 'I have realized my mistakes, and tried to change myself ......'

'I noticed ......' she said with a smile. 'You are much more tolerable now ......' she said teasing him.

Both of them relaxed a bit ..... and Abhi gave her a heart rendering smile.

'Accha .... so now you are tolerating me ..... hmmmm..... thank you so much, Dr. Nikita, I am obliged' saying that he twitched her nose.

'So Abhi, tell me about your work ......' Nikki asked him curious to know all about it. She felt so good whenever anyone mentioned that he had been doing so well, especially after the merger. He had been in the news a few times this last one year, and she could not stop her heart from swelling up with pride on seeing him, even though she had been so angry with him. Whatever happened between them she knew that he deserved all the success.

So Abhi described in detail, what all he had done and how challenging it had been, and how hard he had found the new position and new responsibilities before the things had started to settle down.

'And Nikki, all this was only because of you. Every single day I remembered how hard you had worked, so that I could get the New Sanjeevani Project financed. Only because of all the effort you had put in, did that proposal of merger had come up ...... '

She looked at him embarrassed .... she was not used to hearing praises from him. All he had done earlier was scold her or get angry at her for her smallest mistake.

'Oh my God .... I cannot take this .... Dr. Abhimanyu Modi .... praising me' she teased him. 'I think I am hearing voices ...... for he can only shout at me' she said jokingly.

'Ok ... Ok .... karolo mera majhak .... I will also get my chance one of these days' he replied with a smile.

Just than Tia and Sid walked up to them, tired of dancing. They both looked so happy together!

'Kyun Bhai, you look very happy! Kya baat hai?' she asked looking from Abhi to Nikki and back to him.

'Why, Tiu, haven't u seen me happy earlier?' he asked her with a surprise.

'Not for last one year. You have been a monster to live with.' She replied making a face at him, and then looking at Nikki, as if trying to relay to her something. Embarrassed Abhi did not look at Nikki, but replied,

'Joothi ..... Sidhant tum bolo, have I been a monster. Am I not a nice and a polite person to be with and work with?' he asked Sid, dragging him into the argument.

'Bhai .... Tia .....' he was confused looking from one to the other, not able to decide on whose side he should be, in either case he will be beaten up.

'Hain Bolo bolo .....' Tia gave him a warning glare.

'Koi baat nahi, Siddhant, don't be scared of Tia, you just tell the truth' Abhi mockingly goaded him.

Now Sid was in a fix, either way he was going to be beaten up. He looked at Nikki pleadingly, to save him.

'Actually, Tia, you are right. Abhi was always a monster to work with. He was ready to jump on everyone, waiting for them to make a smallest mistake. So I am sure this would have creeped into his behaviour at home too' she said challengingly, looking into Abhi's eyes and then continued , 'Hey, I have a nice name for him, Tia, Monster Modi! Howz that, it suits him na?' she high fived to Tia and both started laughing. Sid also had a tough time stopping himself from bursting into a laughter.

Abhi made an angry face at them, and walked away to the bar, fuming at them. Incidentally Sneha was also standing there and he joined her. He ordered a drink for both of them, and they started talking to each other, laughing with each other. He kept on throwing amused glances at Nikki, seeing her getting angry at him.

'Sid, you better tell your cousin to keep away from Abhi' she finally blurted out, unable to stop herself anymore. Both Tia and Sid were surprised by her outburst, but as they recovered gave a slow happy smile to each other.

'Kyu Nikki? Kya baat hai? Don't you like her? Or is it that you don't like her because Dr. Modi seems to like talking to her?' he asked her in a serious tone, but his eyes were teasing her.

'Shut up, Sid! Just do as I say and don't ask so many questions, okay?' she retorted without replying to his question, blushing and trying to hide her eyes.

And both Tia and Sid were ecstatic, especially Tia, to see Nikki's react like this.

The evening ended with a happy note. Quiet a few of them high and happy, especially after that marathon round of Tequila shots. They all started to challenge each other, goading each other into going for one more round. What was this thing with guys, they cannot resist a challenge, if it was with regard to a girl or booze .... it was like someone had challenged their manhood, Nikki thought highly amused. But she was glad Abhi had kept away from it .... for he knew his capacity .... and never got near alcohol .... how much ever anyone challenged him.

And as they were ready to leave, Nikki got up slowly, tried to hop on her good leg. She found that she was able to manage, but with considerable effort.

'Nikki, let me help' Abhi told her softly. He swiftly lifted her into his hands, even before she could respond.

'Kyu? Ab mil gaya time tumhe?' she asked sarcastically. 'I can manage myself, you don't need to carry me.' She told him in mock anger. Her hands around his neck now, and she was glaring at him.

'Nikki, chup karo, warna, I will just let you go, right now' he threatened, loosening his arms. But she clung to his neck closely. Seeing her reaction, he smiled satisfactorily.

Nikki was glad that he carried her, for she would not have been able to hop on one leg all this way. Armaan had called the limo driver already, so he was waiting for them at the gate, as they got down from the ship. Muskaan opened the door of the car, as Abhi bent down to place Nikki gently on the seat. Before moving out of the car, he swiftly gave a peck on her cheek and said,

'Good night, Nakhrewalli Nikki' the last part only for her to hear. And she shot him a surprised look before replying,

'Goodnight, Monster Modi' at the top of her voice, right in his ear, deafening him, and everyone around heard her call him a monster.

They all burst out into a laughter ....... and they all parted, telling their byes, goodnights and see you's.

You're gonna kill me Annie! I need oxygen! What do I tell to the doc who just left? My heart rate went up after he left? Baapre, we'll have to call him back now! Hay Rabba, maine kya galti ki ke aisi Dr.Modi jaisi saza mili? ☺️
