The only thing to suggest that there was life still, were her breaths, which barely managed to stir the air above her face and each successive one was followed by longer and longer gaps. But she did not want to give up yet. Her soul still clung to her physical body hoping for some reprieve, after all what wrong had she done..?
So thus she remained, her ears straining to hear sounds of approaching humans who may stumble across her and save her ebbing life, for she was too young to die...
And just before her brain slipped into unconsciousness, hope arrived in the form of sounds of a trotting horse and therefore a rider. She listened as the horse protested being reigned in, the rider wo had obviously seen her jumped down and strode towards her, his stride sounded full of youthful confidence (her wishfulthinking.) She heard theswish of his long cloak as it swung from side to side in rhythm with his stride..Hmm a nobleman! He paused by her side and then she heard the leavescrackle as he bent down to examine her face closely. She hoped that he liked what he saw and was willing to give her the breath of life. Her diminishing heart beat quickened as she felt his warm breath caress her cold cheeks. She strained to open her eyes, but couldn't...
Several moments passed and yet she did not feel his warm lips on hers...
'What The Hell are you waiting for? Get on with it! Have you forgotten the basics of Life Support?' She wanted to scream at him but couldn't...
Somehow her Prince had been distracted by an irritating sound in the background, which seemed to get louder and louder by the minute...
Khanak who was obviously quite irritated for being disturbed from her wonderful dream, picked and said somewhat sharply...
Hello?..This is Dr Khanak Agarwal..?I don't think I'm on call..
Hello..Dr Khanak Agarwal, your most deserving patient needs you now..
Waa...t..What??.. Shantanu is that you?..(Khanak was now wide awake, propped herself up on her elbow..a look of worry on her face.)
Yes its me, sweetheart.. Didn't you tell me in your note that I could call you at any time and that "It Wouldn't Be A Bother?"..hmmm..didn't you??..
Shaan said in his low husky baritone.Khanak almost felt as if he had been spying on her in her dream and had called her just to make her feel more vulnerable..
I..I did not mean in the middle of the night except for emergencies of course..!
She replied in a loud whisper looking around hoping that Palak did not have her ear to wall. Her room was next to hers.Well this IS an Emergency! First of all Megha wants her teddy back!
Well, you could have called about that in the morning, tell her that it'll take another couple of days! He's scheduled for surgery tomorrow.. So now are you satisfied?
No!!! The actual emergency is not that! Its me!
Ever since I saw you I have lost my sleep and it has got worse day by day! Not only that..you have changed me! I had pledged to not to trust my soul to any woman..ever! But you have made me believe that my life is incomplete without you!.. I have become a Love freak! I listen to old love songs, I watch old romantic movies! I even want to pick up my old violin which I haven't touched in ages and come and serenade you under your window..a la Romeo!! Though I'm not sure if you'll hear my music above all this din! Which floor is your apartment on??...
Its on the 5th Floor, but you don't have to do it! Please.. I have to get up early in the morning! You ARE bothering me!
No my dear! You are lying! I'm bothering you but in a different way.. I can feel it even on the phone. You are almost gasping with excitement., your cheeks are flushed and you are hugging your pillow tight to prevent your hands from shaking!...
He heard her gasp out loud..so he knew his guess was at least partly true...then she said in a matter of fact tone..
Enough! Stop! I don't care whether you sleep or not..I'm going back to mine!..
Not so soon, My dear! Remember you are my doctor? I won't let you sleep until you say I Love You!..
What?? Why should I say something I don't feel?..
Thats besides the point and I know exactly the state of your heart! I won't let you go unless you say those 3 words!..
Khanak laughed...If I don't, what will you do?..
You wouldn't dare!!..
Try me sweetheart! Love sets no limits!...
When he heard no sound from the other side..he imagined Khanak mind in a frenzy, she was very stubborn..
Alright! If you won't say it, I'll accept an alternative!..
Uh huh..! Madam is receptive, sweeet!! Okay I'll let you go if you say Yes, when I ask you if you love me!..
No sound from the other side but he knew she was listening..
So my Sapnon ki Rani..do you love me?
No, I don't!..
You at least like me..
Okay..I guess so!..
Then love's not far away, is it..?
Hmmm.. Do we have to do this?
Remember..phone..Palak.. Say you like me
Yes..
You love me..
Hmmm...I love all of mankind, so if you are Human ( which I doubt very much,) then I love you!..
>she laughed..Haiii!! Khanak I'm having a heart attack..can you come here Please??...
Then hearing her giggle he said..in his honey glazed voice...
Inkaar mein bhi Ikraar nazar aata hai😳
