Author's POV

" I can protect myself."
"Holy s**t!" Abhimaan's eyes widened. He looked pale as if he saw a ghost.
He slowly turned his head and looked at Krushi. She had her eyes close.
"I can protect myself from you. You stinking hippo!" She exclaimed and threw her hands in air as if fighting with someone and calmed down .
"Krushi" Abhimaan called her softly.
"Krushi" he waved his hand infront of her face to check whether she was sleeping or not. And it turned out that she was sleep talking.
"Oh God! She almost gave me an heart attack." Abhimaan breathed out in relief.
He adjusted her blanket and held her protectively so she doesn't fall while sleeping.

                    Krushi's POV

The hustle bustle made me awake. I was sleeping on a stone.
"Ouch my neck hurts! Ahhhh and also the back. Where did I sleep?" I murmured lazily.
*Looks here and there*
"Oh in hospital."
A hand was there on my thighs.
"Wth!"
"Ohh.. it's him."
*Takes the hand and throws back to him grumpily*
I went to the washroom with the water bottle and washed my face and mouth.
I ate the mint candy.
"Ahh..... Atleast my mouth feels fresh."
I went back to where me and him sat. He was not there.
"Where did he go?"
Suddenly someone turned me harshly.
I was about to slap that person but-
"Where were you?" It was my husband. He looked really angry.
"Why is he angry?" I thought to myself.
"What are you looking at? Answer me Krushi." He sternly said.
"I was in washroom."
" You scared the shit out of me. You should have informed me."
"I don't need to inform you everything."
"You should when you are at an unknown place."
"You are really irritating. Eat this, I don't like morning breath." I gave him a mint candy. He just sighed and took it.
" I know you can take care of yourself but it's .....you can atleast say me where you go so that I don't have to worry about you. You are now my responsibility."
"I am no one's responsibility. I can take care of myself. Now just shut up."
He took a deep breath and kept quiet.


             Abhimaan's POV

"I am no one's responsibility. I can take care of myself. Now just shut up." She grumpily said.
Oh! God give me strength. I took a deep breath to calm myself.
"Typical 20" I thought in my mind.
After sometime a nurse came and gave me a list to buy the medicines.
"You stay here. Don't go anywhere till I come." I said to Krushi.
"I am not a child ,senior citizen. I know how to fight."
What will I do with her!!!
I went to buy the medicines. On the way I called my driver to go to the hotel and bring Krushi's family to my house and also informed Kriya's father to be ready.
I bought the medicines and gave them to the nurse. And this time Krushi was sitting silently.
"After sometime we will go back. One of your family members will stay here while we go back to fresh up. And yes, your family will stay with us for sometime."
"You don't have to do anything Mr. Baraskar. If you are worrying about your hotel bill, we can afford that. So stop showing your non-existent sympathy."

"For God's sake Krushi stop talking like that. Put a full stop on your ego for sometime. It's my wish to worry about someone or not. I am not showing any fake sympathy. It's my duty towards you and your family to stay with you and help you in difficult times. They are also my family. I know you can afford the bill of my hotel but why should I let my family member to stay in a hotel when I have a house at the same city." It really hurted. I am not showing anything fake.

"They are not your family." This was it. My eyes started to get blurry.

"You know what you are heartless."
I stood up harshly and went outside.
How much shall she say those cruel things! What did that Vishal saw in her! How could Sanam even love such a girl! Do all girls in their 20 behave like this?
I stayed in the waiting area till her brother and Kriya's father came. I went to the ER with them.
Me and Krushi bid them goodbye and went to home. The whole journey was again uncomfortable.
On reaching I picked her up and took her inside. Her badi maa and mom came towards us.
I greeted them but only Kriya's mom responded.
I took Krushi to our room.
"You fresh up first."

Krushi's POV

"You fresh up first." Mr. Baraskar said. I just hummed and took my toiletries and towel and dress to the washroom.
After freshing up, I wanted to change my dressing. Before I could do that, Mr. Baraskar took off the bandage.
"I can change it on my own." He didn't say anything and continued changing.
"I said I can change it. You can freshen up yourself. Are you listening to me?" He didn't respond. I huffed and stayed quiet.
After dressing, he carried me to the drawing hall and made me sit on the sofa and went away.
All came and sat in the hall. Rohan bhai and Shanti aunty served everyone milk tea.
Vishal came and sat near me.
"I am sorry for yesterday. Here is your phone. I repaired it."
"Thanks."
"How is your feet?"
"Better than yesterday I guess." He smiled.
All were gossiping. Aunty and Chachi engaged mom and Badi maa in their talks. I didn't see Mr. Baraskar's grandfather today.
"Where is papa , Rohan?" Chachu asked.
"Sir said he will take his breakfast in his room." Rohan bhai replied.
"Did he decide not to come due to me? No, no..... Why would he do that?"
"What are you thinking?" Vishal asked.
"Nothing."
"Let's go for the breakfast." Aunty said.
Kaira helped me to walk.
We were about to sit when we heard a loud scream.
"Abhimaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!"
