A RoNakshi FF- Hero for Hire

Chapter 197

Sonakshi looked at Rohit, astonished, as he screamed so loudly at her.
Even Arihaan stirred, with the loud decibel of noise.
Rohit kept looking at her expression, then turned around, running a hand through his hair.

He turned back to see Sonakshi crying, her tears streaming down her face.

Oh, God! What have I done?

'Sona!'

Sonakshi got up to go. He caught her arm as she turned away from him.

'I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to shout! Woh bas..tum..please..'

He turned her head around by holding her chin. She was still crying quietly.

'Please! Aise mat karo..you know I can't see you crying like this..'

Sonakshi looked up at him.

'Rohit!'
She crashed herself in his arms.

'Hey! Sshhh..Sona! Aise mat karo..'

'I'm sorry..woh mein..'

Rohit looked down at her.
'Tum kyun sorry bol rahi ho?'

'You were right! I was over reacting..woh..bas..jo hua..Rohit! Mein bohot darr gayi thi..woh behoshi ke haal mein..woh khoon..itna helpless kabhi feel nahin kiya. Woh bechara to bata bhi nahin pa raha tha..mein..'
She sobbed in his arms.

'Ssshhh...bas, bas..Sona..tum ghalat nahin thi..maine hi kuch zyada bol diya..I'm so sorry..'
He kissed the top of her hair, hugging her to him.

'Kitna chota hai woh..or mein..mein thi bhi nahin uss ke paas..'

'Ab tum har waqt, har jagha to nahin ho sakti na..'

'Magar woh to..'

'It's not your fault, Sona..please! Itna mat socho..bacha hai, usse kya pata sahi, ghalat. Jaldi recover kar le ga..tumhe to pata hi hoga na..ab please, chup hojao..mujhe takleef ho rahi hai tumhe aisa dekh ke..'

Sonakshi nodded, her sobs quieting down. Rohit continued stroking her hair, and her back. And Sonakshi just stood there, seeking comfort in his embrace.
He looked down at her.

'Feeling better?'

Sonakshi nodded.
'Thankyou!'

'Ab iss se pehle ke woh waqai uth jaye, jao, fresh hojao.'

Sonakshi nodded again, and went to the bathroom, shutting the door.

Thank God! That almost blew up like a bomb..sorry...

'Da-di!'

'Mom! Suna aap ne?'
Sonakshi called out to Veena, from where she was sitting in the lounge with Arihaan.

'Aray, wah! Yes! Yes!'
Veena came out, doing a little dance.

Sonakshi laughed at her excitement.

'Shukar! Dada se pehle Dadi bol diya! Naren ko yaqeen tha, ke pehle Dada bolay ga! Yes! I won!'

'Oh, God! Competition chal raha tha Dada, Dadi mein! Suna, Arihaan?'

'Da-di!'
He called out, and Veena went over to give him a kiss.

Arihaan, was recovering well, after his mishap, a week ago.
Sonakshi hadn't gone to the hospital, cancelling all her surgeries and appointments.
Rohit had been after Sonakshi to go back, but she had been very adamant, not wanting to let Arihaan, away from her eyes.
