Okay here you go "My little friend" the next instalment..
Part 40 - Aryaa breaks down again.........
Aryaa sits in the corner of the bus and dwells on the days happenings. so much had happened and she didn't even dream for agony to strike all in a day's time. First news from the hospital, then finding out that the job was offered by none other than Aman Dev Pratap Singh and then her injury not to mention this strange pull towards him..... Too much. She sighs as the pain in her foot eases a bit but it all comes forward as she worries. Hoe will I managa to raise 50,000/- I have to somehow, I will. I managed to get 40,000, Now I have to get the balance 10,000/- This is my promise to you... and again the tears overwhelm her and unknowingly she removes his crumpled hanky and furtively wiped her tears brimming and threatening to fall down. then she smeeled his aftershave on the hanky and again was lost haunted by his hazel eyes and that dimpled smile. She sighed thinking 'no he will get only pain if ther is anything between us. No destiny can't have played any worse game than this. No I am not for him.. This has to stop. with a promise she gets up as her stop comes and she alights to enter the hospital.
As soon as she disembarks, the break of squealing tires stops her and she falls down on her side. she is winded by the hard push of the car and she mutters. Thankfully the push was not so hard. She is winded though as she hears the familiar swearing words "Damn, are you okay?" and she stares into those hazel eyes which refuse to stop haunting her. His eyes change expressions as quickly from apology to concern and then to shock on recognition. He whispers "Aryaa " with more concern now. His damn does it and she breaks down crying all over again. Why is she so timid today. This is not the first time she is experiencing so much agony. then why? Why does this man have so much power to bring her to tears? She knows the answer, but refuses to admit it. For the time being he swiftly checks her leg for injuries, asking her if that hurts. Though his gestures are mechanical, his hands affect her and she again hides behind anger using it as a strong weapon.
"My my My, the rich man after all has a heart. Why the concern? After all, all you rich men know how to trample every person on the road, then why do you feel bad about it I wonder! You almost killed me! Don't you know that people still have a right to walk towards the footpath when they get off a bus. Or don't tell me you didn't see the big red bus in front of you. Ah let me guess, you must be talking on your cell right. I knew it..." By now all he could do was stare in awe at her fiery eyes spitting out venom and he could see that she was using the anger as a weapon. A small group had gathered around them and all he did was smiled amusedly. He simply winked at her stopping her tirade mid-way and then he sighed and lifted her swiftly in his arms. For a moment she was gaping as if a tornedo had just spun her around in its swirl. His arms felt more like the tornedo and her heart thudded yet again from being so close to him. His chest brushing so close she feared and hoped he didn't hear her heart racing. She looked away then realising where he was taking her, immediately began her tirade again "Put me down you big oaf! Put me down, I can walk by myself! " and then he looked at her silencing her with one look. "I know Aryaa you are strong, but please, please let the doctor make sure you are fine. I will leave you after that. I promise." His gentle pleading and cajoling tone was her undoing. The tears flowed and he looked helplessly at her pained by her tears, for long moments before carrying her into the hospital in the emergency department.
the moment they entered the hospital she tunred white as a sheet. No not here, I hope we don't meet her. God, I hope the doctor doesn't dilly dally for long. She grabs him more hardly around his shoulders and he feels her tension transmitted through to him. He glances at her below half-closed lids and saunters with her towards the bed indicated by a ward-boy. He effortlessly puts her down and while about to straighten, her hair lock gets entangled in the Gold chan around his neck. She winces as her hair are pulled at the roots and he too jerks back low bending towards her trying to dislodge the hairlock. Their fingers touch inthe processs and her head is bent but can feel his electric hazel gaze on her. Boring into her head and trying to see through like an x-ray. He smoothly disentangles it and while she is doing it sees the picture in the chain and all her misery comes back twofold.
Dev and Kaajjal smile at each other when aman gets so close to aryaa. They know it will lead to love only. They know the pain is there too, but they are happy, they trust Aryaa. they touch their heads to each other and smile happy that love finally met love.
He follows her eyes and looks at the picture of his ma and dad in his ma's chain. He knows the story behind this chain, but then gets distracted by her scared and fearful look in her eyes. He is about to ask when the doctor comes and breaks the moment. He clinically checks her and pronouces her to be fine. her wound on the foot, he asks if she gort it from this accident and she assures him and he re-bandages it but not before commenting on the previous opne being a perfect dressing. he prescribes a few antibiotics for better and quick healing and Aryaa murmurs a suitable reply. In her mind dhe thinks, 'i'll be damned if I am going to spend a paisa on medicines for myself. ha, antibiotics can go to hell' aman follows her eyes closely and wathces her closely with narrowed eyes asif reading her thoughts. Out aloud he says to the doctor, "I was responsible for the wound on her foot so I shall bring the medicines" she cuts him "Thank you for your time Mr. Aman Dev Pratap Singh. I will manage, thank you very much." Sjhe grabs the prescription and just then she walks in. Aryaa is terrified. 'No, please let her not see me. Please... God please not now. Go Aman, please leave now.' Aman follows Aryaa's gaze and just then someone else from outside the ward calls her and she leaves and Aryaa heaves a big sigh of relief outwardly showing it. aman doesn't miss anything. He then looks at her and she drops her gaze again hiding. He promises to find out the mystery and with a nod leaves.
Aryaa tries to get up. The doctor asks her to be careful as the wound is still raw and fresh. the cut is pretty deep and will take a few days to heal. he passes her instructions and she nods promising to take care and leaves. She goes out tentatively, scared to find Aman standing somewhere round the corner when she catches her again. 'Aryaa, what happened to your foot." she looks around to make sure and sighing with relief as she dopesn't see him anywhere she turns and says "Ah kulkarni madam, nothing. Just dropped a vase on it. I am fine. I was just about to come and see you." Nurse clicks her tongue in a motherly fashion and acosts Aryaa into her cabin. "Come lets discuss that over some tea. Looks like you need some..." aman comes out of hiding. Hmmm now why does aryaa want to keep this "Madam Kulkarni" a secret? he shakes his head and then gets distracted by his cell ringing. sighing he sees its Kiran and then smiles again. Okay Aryaa two can play the same game. Okay, lady you asked for it and then you know me, Aman Dev Pratap Singh. I am DK's sone for nothing. Okay Kiran here comes your brother. need you to do something love. Here I come ...... and he answers her phone walking towards the car........................
And Dev and Kaajjal simply smile down their love showering their blessings. Both looking into each other's eyes, feeling proud of Aman today. "Bilkul apne papa par gayaa hain, mere akdu jaisa hi hain' And dev smirks again replying "Yes Jaan, yes like me living for his love and life only..."
Preview : Aman is suspicious of Aryaa's behaviour........
Love comes closer to love, But the mystery still continues....... 😃
