Exploring The Bond,Within (Completed)

6. Healing and Thinking and denying it in mind.

She came into her senses, got back her conciousness and now laid on the bed after the doctors had performed necessary checkups and nurses were busy in dressing the wounds she had got, but were that the only wounds she needed to be healed from or was there a heart to...a wounded heart and it was not only her but even his heart too had been wounded and that also needs to be healed, but how...she thought to herself. And before that she needed to remember how did she met with an accident and what actually happened because the only memory she had was Shiva dragging her to the roadside from the cliff and it all became blurry then in her mind, she needed to see him...was he okay...was he safe...did he too met with an accident; and her eyes searched for him like ?she thought to herself and till now she had not spoken anything as the nurse was covering her with the bedsheet she murmured..."SHIVAAA....".

Nurse asked her to say again and she again with some more pressure of voice, managed to say, "Shivaaa...kaha hai?", to which the nurse replied, "Haan, voh bahar hai...aapko leke aaye tabse yahi pe hai"

And she was more than shocked after listening this, so it was he who had brought her here and more than that he had stayed with her, though she was not aware of how much time it had been after her accident that she was here but she melted right away on the only thing that he had stayed....it again triggered her, but in a different way now that what was it, and what did he actually wanted...to leave or to stay? She had no answer to this because when her heart said that even he wanted to stay, seldom his actions said that he wanted to leave.

She was so immersed in her thoughts about him, she did not pay attention to the whole family who had came in her room now, Dhara, Suman kaki, Mami, Gombi, Krish, Rishita, Dev, Anita di...almost everyone but still her eyes searched for him, amdist the whole room filled with people who loved her and undoubtedly even she loved them but right now her eyes, heart, soul all searched and yearned for Shiva...he peeped through the circle window in the door and immediately her eyes reached there;as their gaze met..he stopped for a moment or two, as if it had calmed down the inner tornado going on within him and as if her eyes had assured him; somehow even she felt calmed down,...knowing that he was safe, he was okay...definitely made her feel her a lot better now.. but suddenly he moved his head and now she was not able to see him, so she managed to raise her hand as if she was stopping him from leaving and that's when everyone's attention went on the door where apparently none was there...and she had been refraining to answer the questions of due care and concern but she only opened her lips to say, "Shivaa...shiva kaha hai?", and from this sentence mostly everyone understood and forcedly made mami and themselves move with a reassurance to be back soon and to take care.

Now, he entered, as he walked in slowly, to her he looked so cute, that her heart skipped a beat...as he walked again, now as he had changed his clothes, he slowly went and stood beside the bed; she moved her hand and grabbed his little finger indicating him to sit..he sat and in reply, he separated her grip from his finger,to which her face showed that she felt like a heartbreak but immediately as he grabbed and held her palm with a loose soft grip, she smiled....she said in a slow voice, "Shivaa tu thik hai?", he nodded to it and added, "Pani piyegi?"...and instead she smiled a little more and said, "Kabse..". He stood up and poured water from jug to glass and helped her to sit with support, he held the glass near her lips to which she drank but as she drank a little fast, she coughed,and he patted her as well as rubbed her wet chin for water to dry and here on the other side, her heart was constantly skipping beats one after the other; her body got goosebumps but her heart was elated; meanwhile in this whole process, they didn't realize that they were holding hands now, none of them wanting to loose...

Shiva had no idea what to talk and he just said, "Jab kabse paani pina tha aur yeh sab they tab kyu nahi bola..." to which she replied, "Koi mere man ki baat teri tarah nahi padh paya..", this made him smile and he won't even deny to this fact; as the time passed it was evening by then and family members again came to meet her, now she interacted with all, she seemed contented now, maybe her heart had already felt what his heart failed to but never mind, she thought, even Dhara, Krish and all noticed them holding hands and talking normally to each other...and startled even they thought that were they actually waiting for loosing each other and would realize it then that they were in love, they chuckled on this as they saw Shiva feeding her with the soup-rice and caring like she was a little baby, and she being a happy baby ate and even made him eat that too, and Shiva, who would never eat something like this even if he was ill, he ate that...and as everyone took a leave telling Shiva only to stay with her at night because seeing both of them hold hands like this, they were convinced that they would not like if anyone else insisted to stay with her.

She was feeling restless now, as he saw this he asked that what happened to her and if she needed him to call the doctors to which she said, "Arre mai din mein 3 baar nahati hu but ab kabse nahayi nahi to bechaini si horahi hai...", Shiva face palmed after hearing this and replied, " Kaisi magarmach jesi aurat hai is halat mein full AC mein bhi nahana hai". He told her to wait and went to search for nurse but failed so he came back, shifted her to the seat and started doing himself with hot water...as he rubbed the wet towel on her hands and then her legs and slowly and gradually neck and face, they didn't realize how close their faces came...and as the nurse walked in he quickly told her to continue it and left the room.
