Chapter 15
Pratigya was upset, she didn't now why Krishna's words were peirching in her heart. Why am i letting him affect me so much? I never act like this. Is he changing me?
She entered Komal's room, took her shoes off and sat on the bed. He did touch me so why is he denying it? Why doesnt he just admit it? He does not seem like a bad person – good sibling a far as Komal told me...then why does he lie so much?? OH my god, he affects me in a way that i can't think properly
She sat there for a long time before she heard a knock on Komal's bedroom door – looked up to find Krishna standing at the foot of the door. What is he doing here? Shout at me more?
'Tum yaha?' Pratigya enquired.
'Can i come in?' She nodded yea. 'I wanted to talk to you'
Pratigya was aout to interrupt, she didn't want him shuting at her again but he never let her. 'Look please listen to me first then say whatever you want, it's important' Krishna practically begged.Wow he sounds really desperate, wonder what he wants to say.
'Look i made a huge mistake, but it's not what you are thinking – we were both misunderstood'
HUH? Pratigya was now more confused than ever. Krishna seemed to have noticed her reaction, so he added 'I am talking about the incident on the plane. Look I am not the type to admit this but....' He was struggling.
'You like to tease girls?' Pratigya suggested. 'Its not a nice habit.'
Uh oh? Thought Pratigya. He looked angry at her suggestion. Krishna walked in a jiff up to Pratigya, grabbed her by the upper arm and pulled her close. Their bodies were touching, faces was an inch apart. Both staring at each other, Krishna was angry while Pratigya shocked. She couldn't believe how close they got in the past days. Why is it that I am is always bumping, falling or just always so close to Krishna. She felt a slight shock running through her, and her stomach was tingling. What is that?
'NO' Krishna said angrily. 'How many times do I have to tell you, this is not easy for me, please let me finish.'
She could feel his warm breath on her face.Wow what is so hard for him to say, i should just stay quiet for now.
He seemed to have realised he was this close to her, he quickly let her go and took one step back.
Her upper arm were quite sore, she took a quick glance at it and saw red marks. She got scared, what if someone notices? She quickly put her hair in the front so it is less noticeable.
'I admit to what happened on the plane is real...but i didn't know it happened until you mentioned it a while back.'
She absolutely didn't get it, she was now even more confused. 'Can you be more clear, i don't get you at all.'
Krishna sighed, 'Look you had you hand on the handle right?' Pratigya nodded yes. 'And i grabbed the handle because.....'Pratigya encouraged him to speak further on. 'bacause i get scared of plane rides...and i had my music on full blast so I didn't hear you and I was so scared i didn't know your hand was there – so you see we both were misunderstood, so i jus came here to.....'
Krishna didn't get to finish off because Pratigya started laughing – hard. She couldn't control her laughter.
'hahahaha.....scared....hahaha....planes' OMG i cant stop laughing.
She was laughing really hard, that she didn't noticed Krishna'a hurt and pissed expression. She was now closing her eyes and clutching her stomach. After few minutes she was starting to calm down. That means he didn't mean to do what he did, i should apologise to im for terrorising him then. She opened her eye to find the room empty and Krishna no where to be seen.
'Krishna?!' She looked around the room, the closet and the bathroom but didn't find him anywhere.
Gosh me and my laughter, why can i control myself? Se then started laughing again for no reason. After five minutes she calmd her self down and decided to go look for Krishna. She walked in to the hallway, and she could see Krishna sitting in the living room on the sofa watching TV.
She called out his name loud 'Krishna!' He looked up, got up from the sofa and was trying to runaway from her. Shit i really embarrassed him, but i wont let him leave. She was determined.
'Krishna, please stop' Now she was slightly running. She didn't notice the small step that was coming up. She missed the step, se didn't know what was happening and went falling down, screaming at the same time. She landed hard on her forehead. Her eyes were dazed, she could hear something in the background but was not sure what it was. She felt the pain starting to kick in. Everything was unclear and fuzzy and slowly she drifted in to unconsciousness.
'GRR, shes so stupid and immature. She doesnt understand anything i am saying' Krishna murmured in anger this as he left Komal's room. 'just laughing on like a hyena hahahahaha' He realised he was talking to himself, so looked around to see if anyone saw him, no one was there.
He went back to where he was previously, on the sofa. He sat back down, and turned the TV on.
After a few minutes he heard Pratigya calling him, he looked over and saw her walking towards him. Oh no, what is she going to do now, laugh at me more? Let me get out of here.
He got up and walked fast towards the entrance door, and then all of a sudden he hears a scream Pratigya?! Krishna got scared and turned around quickly, he found Pratigya on the floor.
She's just joking, so i stay here...cheeky girl. 'Pratigya stop messing around and get up already – Okay i have stopped now, what did you want to say?'
He waited, dammit she wants me to bed im sure of it..god these girls can be so irritating.
'okay pleaseeee Pratigya say something, im begging you' He begged in front of her literally. He walked up right next to her and she still hadn't move. That is weird, why is she not getting up. What does she want me to do?
'Pratigya enough is enough, get up and tell me straight otherwise I am going' He demanded. She was lying face down on the floor. how long can she stay like that on the cold floor, she would eventually get sick.
He sat there in that position and looked closely, but she didn't see her move at all, not even breathe. What the hell?
He decided to turn her over – the first thing he saw was her forhead, there was a big bruise forming and it was slightly bleeding.
'Shit' Krishna said out aloud. He quickly picked her up by her neck and legs and took her in to his room, since it was much closer. The only thing going in his head was O.M.G why didn't i look sooner, she was actually hurt and me being a pompous idiot didn't even realise...dammit!
He gently laid her down on the left side of his bad, being careful not to hurt her anymore than he did. He was blaming himself for what had happened to Pratigya.
Krishna quickly ran to his washroom to get the first aid kid, he ran back and sat on the right side of his bed and then started cleaning her wounds gently.
He didn't think that it was this serious, he looked at her bruise which seemed to be swollen even more now and the colour was now gone to dark purple. Shit it looks so bad, what have i done?
Krishna was really worried for her. He had called up the doctor who had checked up on Pratigya and said it was not serious. Thank god! He also said that she will be in quite pain afterwards for a few hours; he had given painkillers for that.
It now had been few hours and she still had not gotten up, he was sitting right besides her on the bed. He looked over at her; she was looking absolutely beautiful while she slept. He didn't realise but he was moving closer to her and then jumped back again as she stirred a little. Shes waking up!
Slowly she got up, she looked around clueless then eventually her eyes fell on Krishna. She tried to speak, but her was was un-clear and hoarse. After a few attempts she said, 'You...here?' Her voice was croaked and she still seemed confused.
'Remember you fell....' He stopped for her to regain her memory.
"Yeah i kind of remember. I was following you wasn't I? Why were you running from me, now look what happened' she was back to her old self.
Pratigya got up off the bed fast and she looked dazed, she was standing in one spot holding her head like she was about to faint.
Krishna quickly ran to her side amd held her around her shoulders. 'Are you okay?' Krishna asked. 'What are you doing? Stay put on the bed; you should b resting not walking around. Sit back down on the bed'
She obeyed him, which was surprising to Krishna. 'Im sorry my head is not working right' she laid back down on the bed. 'My head is hurting so much, i can't take it'
Krishna explained how the doctors had come a little while ago andchecked her.
'How long was i out for?'
Krishna checked his watch on his left hand, it was now 4:00pm. 'About 4 hours!' Wow had it been that long!
Pratigya looked shocked, 'Really that long!' She grabbed his left hand hard and looked at the time. He realised that, when she pulled him, he became much closer and he kept staring at her while she checked the time.
She looked up to see his face was right there. He could tell she was embarrassed, but he was not moving further back. She smiled and sat back down as before.
He gave her the painkillers and they sat in awkward silence.
'Sorry!' They both said it at the same time. They then looked at each other and laughed,
'You go first' Again they had said it together, they started giggling which eventually turned in to a laughing fit. After a few mintues they calmed down, this time it was Pratigya who spoke first 'Look I am really sorry abaout laughing earlier – I was shocked and wasn't expecting such an answer. Either way I shouldn't have laughed – fighting about all of this is just too immature, what do you say?'
Krishna replied, 'Exactly – I also wanted to say sorry for walking out of here, I have a very bad temper problem....'
Pratigya didn't let him finish off 'Just like me hahahahaa, no wonder we are always angry at each other hahaha' Pratigya realised she interrupted Kirshna. 'Oh sorry, please continue.'
Krishna didn't mind her interruption, he had more time to stare at her. I could look at her talking all day; she looks absolutely beautiful when she laughs.
'Its okay, don't have to say sorry over a small matter. I should be saying sorry to you, look what I did to you? I nearly cracked your head open LITERALLY! And you are so normal about it.' Krishna was quite upset now, Pratigya seemed to have noticed and replied
'Hey hey Krishna, It's not your fault. It was my clumsiness; I missed the step in the hallway and fell. It was not you that sent me face first on the floor.' She then started laughing again.
Krishna was more memmerised with her, she laughs so much. Her laughing was making him laugh as well. She had the cutest, funniest laugh. It started low then gradually became louder.
'Sorry I have these laughing attacks alot. I know i laugh weird' Pratigya said.
'Noo it was very cute, make me laugh as well' Krishna replied.
Pratigya smiled, she put her hair behind her ear. Krishna culd tell she felt slightly awkward at his comment. Dammit me and my big mouth?!
'Thanks'
Krishna eyes suddenly went to her upper arm. He saw red finger marks ther. Is that my finger marks? Pratigya's eyes followed his and she noticed wat he was staring at so intently and quickly covered it up with her hair.
'No, don't!' She stopped; He got his hands and moved her hair out of the way. Pratigya shivered at his touch 'I already saw it, no point hiding it. I did that didn't I? Oh my god, i can't belive it, I am so Sorry. I get so angry sometimes that i don't realise what i do! Please forgive me' Krishna begged, which was truly odd for his character.
'Dont worry, it's not a big deal. I understand things happen. You don't need to apologise, I have already forgotten about it' and she smiled at him.
She is the most understanding person I have met. Krishna thought. Then he told her to get rest now. He got up, but he realised she was getting up as well.
'Wait what are you doing?' He grabbed her by the shoulders and tried to make her sit down. Instead he tripped over her leg and he fell on top of her on the bed. Both shocked, staring at each other. Pratigya-suprised and Krishna had an adoring look on his face. Wow, why does this keep happening to me? She has this affect that I can't explain. Praitgya was staring at him with the same look, both of them were confused as to what connection they have between each other.
At the same time Komal and Arushi had just walked in and they both were shocked at what they saw!
How do you think Komal and Arushi will react?
