Vikram POV

God, please let her be okay

She is a very innocent soul who has not even tasted any kind of happiness in so many years. After the death of her parents she made us her family but because of the threats she could never be there with us, all she wanted was a simple family life but she had to be away and fend for herself.

I started praying for her recovery. 

Diya, please be okay

I waited for a few hours before the attending doctor came out of the ICU. 

Doctor: Are you related to Diya ?

Me: Yes doctor, she is my fiancee, we were supposed to get married in a few days

Doctor: Did you know how long was she drenched ? 

Me: Doctor I belive she went out for a walk, she does that to clear her head. I was in my room while she was in her's. She was packing her stuff and may be then she went out. Why are you asking doctor?

Doctor: I am sorry to say this .....

Me: Vikram

Doctor: I am sorry to say this Vikram sir but I wish you were more informed about her whereabouts. Diya has a sprain on her leg, I think she hurt her toe, slipped and fell on her front. Her head must have hit a rock or a brick. She was in that water for a lot of time and I think its Pneumonia

Me: Doctor she actually gets cold easily, in our childhood too, she was more prone to get cold, that is why she was always restricted from eating ice creams and ......She actually was admitted to hospital twice for Pneumonia in her childhood and teenage. She knows that she should be careful, she knows that she has to be cautious when its raining but she loves rain and the breeze, she used to say that the smell of the wet soil when its raining actually refreshers her ..... 

Doctor: Its okay, Vikram, please provide the diagnostics details from the past, we will follow the same treatment regime. She has to be on hot fluids for a while, her lungs are filled with water. We have to put her on IV'S and nebulizers to extract all the water. It might take a while, but please be patient.

Me: Will she be okay ?? She is a good person, she is sweet, kind and .... She has to live

Doctor: We will try our level best, but belive in miracles. Rest all she has to be under observation for 3-4 days, she will be shifted to a private room soon.

Me: Okay

After Diya was shifted in to the room, my heart broke when I looked at her surrounded by all those tubes around her. The little scar on her forehead looked a bit purple and her face was pale, without her usual color.

Now all I could do was wait, I sat beside her, there were plugs attached to her hand through which they will be inserting the anti biotics which she needs, her hand looked small. I was careful not to hurt her in anyway but I wanted to hold her hand and convey it to her that I am right here by her side. I wanted her to know that she is not alone.

When I held her hand for the first time, I felt my stomach going into knots. It was the first time we were holding hands, and she is on the sick bed. I held her hand between my hands and kissed them tenderly. 

Me: I am sorry Diya, I am deeply sorry for all the hurt I caused you because of my foolishness. Please forgive me, you can be angry at me, you can hurt me back but not like this. Please be okay, please wake up. I need you, Zyra needs you and Aunty says when she looks at you, she sees a daughter in you. 

Wake up Diya

Seeing her lifeless made my eyes well with tears. I stood up and kissed her on her forehead trying to convey, how sorry I am for all the indifference I have showed her. I walked into the washroom to wash my face before calling my aunt to inform her about Diya's status. 

I stay with Diya through out the night, I go home to freshen up and bring some fresh clothes with me to the hospital for the next day. Zyra has been throwing tantrums, not seeing me and her mom, so when I showered and woke her up she held on to me while crying for a good one hour. I told her that mommy is sick, and she has to be a good girl so that I can take care of her mom. I dont know what she understood but she just nodded her head. I think Diya's maturity and understanding rubbed off on her.

After a good two days Diya has opened her eyes but we never expected it to be an awkward situation.

Diya POV

My eyes felt pretty heavy to me, I can hear the beeping of the machines and the smell of medicines and cleaning supplies. I was at an unknown room, There was an IV stand before me, the room had a good lighting but had a warmth around it, the beeping was from a machine attached to me. I felt a heavy weight on my right hand and saw that I had an IV tube attached to my hand

.What was I doing here ??

The last thing I remember was ... Ow why was my head paining

Then I saw a very scandalous but beautiful scene in front of me. I mean, it was scandalous because Vikram was standing in his towel around his waist and a towel drying off his hair .He was wet. I mean, he was just out of the shower. The orangy essence of his body wash was calling out to me.

Shut up Diya, remember he is kind of a jerk

A Handsome Good looking Jerk

Shut up !!

He turned towards me and for a moment he freezed and then he came out of his shock. He walked towards me and tenderly put his hand on the top of my forehead.

Vikram: Diya, are you okay?? You woke up after 2 days , is your head paining ?? Are you thirsty ?? 

Though his concern warmed my heart something else was diverting me

I blushed crimson looking at his towel clad figure

Me: Can you please put on your clothes ??

He looked at himself and realized he was actually in a towel and rushed towards the washroom to wear his clothes. His essence still around me.

Diya, you are such a pervert
