Their Accidental Love

CHAPTER 4

KARTIK'S POV:

I was returning home from freddy promotions after a hectic day. I decided to take a shortcut in order to avoid traffic. Little did i know that this shortcut road will change my life forever.

I was driving myself coz ravi (my driver) had asked for a leave this morning due to personal reasons and i couldn't refuse him, that man has done so much for me.

I was driving really fast as road was almost empty and deserted. Listening to AP Dhillon, i got busy in my mobile for a second, next thing i know was a girl came running from God knows where and stopped right in the middle of the road, what a stupid lady.

Thankfully i hit brakes just in time and i heard the most dreadful sound of tyres screeching, damn my Lamborghini!

Well i need to stop behaving so materialistic and check up on that girl, with that thought i got down the car to see her sitting in an awkward position holding her right leg.

"I am so sorry, i tried to hit brakes just in time so u won't get hurt but everything happened just so fast" i apologized to her, although i knew that it was not my mistake well maybe half of it but i was not responsible for her getting hurt.

ZOYA'S POV:

"No plz i am sorry, i was running like a fool and not paying attention to my surroundings" i apologized to the stranger who was kind enough to check up on me although i was the one at fault.

I looked up to see the person and froze!

Kartik Aaryan was standing right in front of my eyes!

I took my sweet time admiring him and appreciating the fact that this man looked 100 times more handsome in real.

He was saying something but i couldn't comprehend his words. Another wave of drastic pain shot through my right leg making me groan.

Kartik's facial expression immediately turned anxious and he looked genuinely worried for me which was a rare thing to see in a celeb like him. He sat down on his knees beside me and examined my leg.

"Oh no, it seems like a fracture" he said.

"What!?"

"Yea but a hairline crack please don't panic" kartik said

he tried to comfort me well it did work.

Next, he offered me his hand to get up and i had no choice but to hold his hand i could not get up own my own.

With great difficulty and continuously suppressing my painful grunts i got up and kartik immediately took a hold of both my shoulders. I won't lie it felt really awkward as no man has ever touched me like this but of course i had no choice but to hold on him.

He made me sit on the passenger seat and went to get my bag which had fallen in the process. I sat there admiring his beautiful car, the seat was way more comfortable than my bed back at home, the interior of the car was breathtaking and i never sat in a car before let alone such expensive and extravagant one.

I was still admiring the car when kartik came back and turn on the ignition, ready to drive that's when i came into my senses and realized what i am doing.

"Where are you taking me, it's ok i am not that hurt i can go on my alone" i stated trying to unlock the door.

"It's ok relax i am just taking u to the hospital and u can't even stand up on your own let alone walk" i knew he was right but i wasn't letting my guard down.

"It's ok, I'll manage" i said still trying to open the door but that damn thing wasn't opening.

"Oh God, women just stop struggling it'll not open unless i want it to. And please trust me, i know we shouldn't trust strangers but right now u don't have a choice, also this road is deserted so i don't think u can manage alone at this hour of night"

Ok, now he was stating facts. So i kept quiet which he took as a hint to start driving.

"Umm, sorry I didn't catch your name" kartik said, trying to make a conversation breaking the awkward silence.

"Zoya Khan"

"Oh khan, nice. So what do u do" he further asked.

"I am receptionist at XYZ Hospital" i replied.

"Really! My mom also works there u might know her Dr. Mala Tiwari" he told me enthusiastically.

"Yea i know her well she is a gem of a person. Everyone knows and respect her in the hospital" i told him.

"Yea indeed she is. She is very compassionate about her profession and always kept it as her first priority. Through her breast cancer treatment she didn't stop going to Hospital to offer her services to other patients despite the fact she was advised to take rest. Literally a war had taken place in the house on this matter and in the end she won, she always wins anyways and it was decided that she I'll go only for 3-4 hours" kartik continued telling me about his mother and i kept listening, it seems he is really close to his mom the way he talks about his mother.

"You are really close to her isn't it?"

"Yes i am really close to her and i talk to her about literally everything i am so blessed to have her as my mom"

"And she must be blessed to have a son like you" my voice broke a little as i got a sentimental thinking about my mom.

Kartik must have noticed it.

"What about your family?"

"I have a family but practically they are everything except family".

"What do u mean"

"I lost my mom, dad at 11. My uncle and auntie took me in and made my life living hell" i said emotionless.

"Oh God, i am so sorry about it. What are u doing here alone at this hour, don't tell me they kicked you out of the house" he said horrified at the idea.

"No they did worse than kicking out, so i ran by myself"

"Mind sharing?"

"Yes, they tried to sell me to an old, ugly, mafia man for just 5 lacs"

"What the actual fuck, uhh i am sorry but that's just too much to take in, they were your blood relatives u were their responsibility" he wasn't able to digest it.

"Well no one wants a responsibility so it was easy for them to just sell the responsibility and make some money out of it" i sighed.

"I can't believe people like them still exist, u know what, you made the right decision of running away from those shitty people, your deserve better than it" he said looking at me and i smiled slightly.

Rest of the journey to hospital went smoothly with a comfortable silence in the car.
