Chapter 14

*Shrishti Pov*

"Go back to the hotel, Nitish. I will be here." He frowned hearing those words from his Dad.

It's been a week since I came here and after he tried to ask his Dad to come here every day, he is finally here but brought press with him.

I know I shouldn't get caught with the media as GH will be involved unnecessarily and I have to give this huge explanation that I am just his friend and not at all related through business.

I didn't expect that his Dad is in politics and right now running for an MLA and is already a mayor for Mumbai until the last term.

Nitish never talked about his family or even about his friends clearly except for a few incidents. The moment he called Nitish informing them that he is coming, I walked out of the hospital room to give them space.

It is a good thing as I didn't expect him to bring the media with him. I shook my head already knowing how it will be displayed in the newspapers and the television that his mother is ill and something added to it.

"Send them away otherwise I will call the police for disturbing my Grandmother." Nitish warned him as his Dad brought him outside the hospital room and away from the media to have a word with him.

If I was not sitting in this corner and looking at them from far away, it would seem like a father and son consoling each other.

"Why are you so rude about it? I didn't let them enter the room, right? They will leave within a few minutes and I will stay here. Your Mom is downstairs waiting for the media to leave. We both will be here and you just go and take a rest." His Dad ordered but Nitish stood there not moving an inch until everyone left the floor.

"Go!" He ordered again seeing him standing there and Nitish sighed before turning around only to see me trying to hide myself in the corner.

"What happened?" he asked frowning.

"Are you going back? Should I stay here instead of you?" I asked ignoring his question.

If I say that I didn't want the media to see me then I need to talk about GH and all this will be nothing but showing off.

He has enough things on his plate and I need not add something else which could irritate him.

"No! Mom is coming within a few minutes and they will be here. So, you leave with me." He replied turning back to stare at his Dad talking to his assistant I think.

"Why don't you ask him to let you know if they are going to leave? I will give my number to the attending staff here to call me if they are going to leave." He nodded but continued to stare at his Dad.

"Nitish!" I whispered holding his hand.

"Maybe, Grandma will get to spend some time with her son." He turned around hearing my words.

"I guess!" with a whisper, he started walking towards the stairs instead of reaching the elevator as we would have to pass his Dad if we take the elevator.

He didn't say a word while climbing down the stairs but didn't leave my hand and I had to rush behind him to keep up with him.

After reaching the hotel, he walked into his room leaving my hand and even forgot to close the door while I stayed outside for a few minutes before walking inside.

When I closed the door, I heard the shower running inside the washroom and thought maybe I should just leave.

What if I am not giving him space to deal with all this? Even I would wish to be alone but I am worried at the same time to leave him alone.
