Their Accidental Love

CHAPTER 5

ZOYA'S POV:

We reached the hospital and i was not surprised to see that he brought me to the same hospital me and his mom worked in.

I was really nervous, one, due to my attire and second it was my work place how everyone will react seeing me with kartik.

I was lost in my thoughts when light tugging on my arm brought me back.

"Where are u lost, shall i bring a wheelchair u might have difficulty in walking up that ramp" kartik asked out of concern.

"Wha- no no it's ok I'll walk, u don't have to" i quickly denied the offer, i was feeling really awkward and i really didn't want to add embarrassment to it.

We started to walk to the entrance, well kartik walking and me limping behind him.

At my slow pace i couldn't cope up with him, he walked back to me and offered me his hand. Oh God, i really hated people sympathizing me and my condition now was really sympathetic.

Nonetheless, i took his hand and we again started walking.

We stopped at the reception and kartik asked ishaani about Dr. Mala's room although we didn't have any appointment but she was his mother so he had the advantage.

Ishaani was literally drooling over kartik by the second she saw him. But as soon as she saw me, her eyes growing wide, roaming from both of us and finally stopping at our joined hands.

"Excuse me, i am asking you about Dr. Mala's room? " kartik said a bit louder probably running out of patience.

"Ahhm sure sir, i am sorry, please go straight to right, 2nd floor, 3rd room, also her appointments for the day are over, she might be free" she informed, finally returning to her professional self.

"Thank you"

As we walked past the reception and i looked around i saw everyone, doctors, nurses and some of the patients too probably because of Kartik, stopping to look at us.

God, this is too much awkwardness for the day.

While kartik ignored it all and kept walking, maybe because he was used to attention.

We took the elevator to 2nd floor and went directly to Dr. Mala's room.

Kartik knocked and waited for the reply.

"Come in please"

"Hello mom, look your handsome child is here to meet you" kartik said cheerfully as soon we entered.

She indeed was gathering her stuff, all ready to leave.

"Aryyy, what are u doing here, are u fine, what happened?" She asked all worried for kartik.

As soon her eyes fell on me, recognition filled her eyes and she looked questioningly at me and kartik and our joined hands.

Okay this is just too much, i started to take my hand back but kartik held it firmly not leaving it.

"Mom she is zoya"

"I know her koki, zoya what happened child?"

"Umm actually--"

"Mom we had a little accident, zoya has hurt her leg in the process please check up on her" kartik informed, getting straight to the point.

"What!!! How? That is exactly why i always tell you to drive slow, but u never listen, God zoya beta plzz sit"

She made me sit on her examination couch, i removed those stupid heels and she asked me to lay back.

She drew curtains and asked kartik to wait outside, for which i was very thankful to her, i was a bit uncomfortable to lay in his presence.

She examined my leg thoroughly, lightly pressing on pressure points and asking me for where its paining.

"You have sprained your lower foot badly zoya, but we have to do a x-ray also to see if there is any hairline fracture in the femur bone, its late now x-ray will be done tomorrow I'll give u a few pain killers and pain relief ointment."

She explained everything to me and wrapped a cast on upper part of knee.

She made me stand and helped me outside and made me sit on a chair, beside kartik.

"What happened mom, is everything alright?" Kartik asked impatiently.

"No, nothing is alright, zoya might have fractured a knee just because of your recklessness, this is getting serious now kartik, i need to have a word with you" Dr. Mala said angrily scolding kartik.

"I am so sorry zoya, i swear I didn't have any intention to hurt u, i am really sorry for everything" he said sincerely looking in my eyes, somewhere i knew he was not only talking about accident but also about what i had to face because of my family.

"It's ok kartik, Whatever happened it was not your fault"

"Ok, so koki, buy these medicines from the pharmacy and go drop zoya at her home, like a good boy." Dr. Mala said.

Me and kartik exchanged worried glances and kartik asked her about her leaving and she told him that driver is waiting and he'll take her home.

"I am leaving, zoya beta plz take care and don't feel shy to ask me if you need medical assistance, take my number" she said, we exchanged numbers and advising me to take care of diet and take medicines on time she left.

Me and kartik was left alone and i didn't had any idea of what to do next, where to go.

"Come zoya, we can't just stand here all night, u'll get tired" kartik said, breaking my chain of thoughts.

And with that we started to walk slowly towards the exit of hospital, with kartik again holding my hand.

He made me sit inside the car and went to buy medicines, he came back and started the car, i gave him a questioning look and he looked back at me assuringly.

I suddenly realized something and fished out some money from my bag and extended towards him.

"Oh no no! U don't have to zoya please, i know you are very self respecting but please Take it like an apology from me also i consider us as friends now please"

I really wanted him to take the money but i must say he was very good with words he convinced me and didn't take money from me.

I was lost in thoughts of how my entire life changed in a single day.

"Don't worry, everything will be alright, trust me." Kartik suddenly spoke maybe he sensed my thoughts.

I didn't have anything to say nor I thought that anything is ever going to be okay.

Although i trusted him, so i sat quietly. After sometime i started to doze off and sleep engulfed me.

Time skip:

I felt someone lightly tap on my shoulder, i opened my eyes to see kartik waking me up. I immediately woke up, realizing my surroundings we were still in the car.

"Come on, zoya we are here" kartik said getting out of the car and coming to open my side of door while i kept sitting there blankly.

I slowly got out, instant wave of pain hitting me.

It was very dark, as i looked around i saw a big building, i couldn't read properly what was written on the board but the last word said HOSTEL.
