"I'm sorry", we said in unison. 

I lost in her eyes. I want to remember this moment forever. That emotion in her eyes, that genuine emotion in her eyes, I never felt anything this strong and raw before. I swiftly looked at other direction. I felt something filled in my nerves. I couldn't bare it and I couldn't handle it anymore. I afraid if I continue to look at her eyes, I may trap in this time loop. 

She wounded her hands around my right arm and rested her head on my shoulder. A lone tear escaped my left eye and a smile broke out my lips. I felt like my world came back to me. I leaned back in chair and we sat in that peaceful silence for few minutes. Vivek and Siva sat in opposite chairs. 

"How all this happened?" she mumbled. I have to be honest now. 

"We were drunk and couldn't process that sudden situation properly", I admitted. I felt Siva's angry look drilling my body. She didn't comment anything and listened silently. 

I checked time and it's already crossed 12. "Come on I will drop you at your place". 

She raised her head from my shoulder and looking at me with disbelief. Suddenly she slapped me. It's not hard and hurting but sharp and unexpected. Vivek and Siva looked with shocked faces. 

"It's not good to stay out at this time", I mumbled with hesitation. I don't know what will I get if I talk more. 

"You are right here with me, then for what you are bothering?" she raged.

"I mean..."

"Shut up.... just shut up", she yelled. I zipped my mouth. She will kill me definitely if I open it. Vivek smirked at me. I think that idiots are happy.

"Now we are sitting here because of your drunk and drive stunt and again you are talking about using bike", she taunted and mumbled something I couldn't hear. 

"I'm sorry", I whispered. 

"What you can achieve with that fucking sorry?" she mumbled. Meanwhile doctor came to us.

"How is he?" I asked raising from my place.

"Nothing to worry. He has a little fracture like hair line fracture just above the right wrist.... It will take 6 to 8 weeks to heal completely. I wounded a bandage and he has to use it until he recover completely." 

After that doctor gave a long lecture and warning for drunk and drive. All the while Vivek, Siva and Chaitra threw daggers with eyes. Here it's our fault so I stood silently and took everything. 

"Now happy", Chaitra commented with anger. 

"Come on lets go to Vishwa", Vivek said. Siva nodded and followed Vivek. Chaitra is highly disappointed with me.

"I'm sorry.... I won't do it again", I said and she just nodded. And it's clear that she didn't believe it.

"Really.... I promise I won't do it again. I won't drink like this", I said. She hugged me for few good seconds.

"I'm very scared. I can't even handle the thought that if anything happen to you. I'm not angry on you. I couldn't understand how to say what I'm feeling that's why I behaved like this..... I'm sorry", she said rubbing my cheek where she slapped. 

She raised to her toes and placed a kiss on cheek. I don't know how to take it, simply everything paused in its place. I saw love, concern and the fear of losing me in her eyes. 

We both went to Vishwa. He had given room 8 in general ward. He leaned back on bed and a cream coloured bandage wounded from palm to elbow. He restricted to use that hand.
