A Murderer and The Nurse (Slow Updates)

Part 10

"Tejasswi" He acknowledged as he sat near me and I was little surprised he did so. After he got angry that day part of me thought he wouldn't talk to me again. "Hi Karan" I said and there was silence. An awkward silence since Karan didn't break his stare away from me. I tried to ease the tension by shuffling the cards. I jumped when Karan put his hand on my hand to stop me.

"Stop I don't want to play the cards" he said I was about ask why when he stood up and walked to the game table. He pulled out a board game and I knew from the box it was chess.

"Chess?"I asked to confirm his choice.

"Yup" He said as he started laying out the pieces.

"Well that was a bad choice because I will win no matter what" I told him

"You sure? " he asked with a grin.

"Yes. Because I never lost this game when I played against my whole entire family " I said smiling at the memory.

"Well aren't you something special. I just wish I had your talents" He said sarcastically. "And let me guess this family of yours is just happiest little bunch. The perfect rich family and the Royal Family. Am I right?" He said. His assumption about my family provokes me a little.

"No actually you are wrong. My dad died in car accident when I was 13. Then my mom shot herself because she apparently couldn't deal with the pain of my dad leaving us. So I lived with my broke grandparents for a while and we barely had enough food. I work my ass off trying to get good grades in a school. Then got my own place and job here with good money and now I live alone with no family around. So why you not just shut up with your goddamn assumptions and mind your own business " I said without taking any break. The look on his face was priceless

"I'm sorry Tejasswi. I had no idea" He said. His eyes held regret and pity.

"Anyway " I huffed out "I t's fine. But since I told you that. You has to tell me something about you" I raised my eyebrows.

"Alright" He shrugged. "What do you want to know?" He asked.

There was so much I wanted to find out about him. The words left my lips all at once "Did you kill those women? If you did what was your motive? What happened to them? And to be honest where you grow up? Where is your family? Do they know about all this? Where did u-.. "

"Woah woah woah" he put his hands up in defense. "Slow down baby. I will just answer one question for now" He said. Damn it. He would have answer more if I didn't interrogate him all at once. So have to choose one question now. I can ask him whether he is guilty or not but he already told me and wouldn't change his answer

"Ok if I ask you does u promise me to be honest?" I asked. He nodded and folded his arms together looking into my eyes with serious expressions

"What's your biggest fear?" I finally asked

He didn't answer me instantly instead his eyebrows scrunched together as he went into deep thought. I hate to say it but he was looking drop dead sexy.
" Good question" He mumbled. I waited patiently while he readjusts himself on the chair before meeting my eyes again.

"You really want to know what I really afraid of?" He said exhaling a deep breath. I nodded and he leaned in close.

"My biggest fear is that I will never make it out of this place. That I will stick here for the rest of my life. I won't be able to have kids. My own house. my own job. I will have to sit here with these idiots, Psychos and not being able to have normal conversation with anyone but you. I haven't got any sleep and I feel awful. I am fed up of hearing screams and mumbling whole night. This place is enough to make any person go mad. And what if I died here Teju? What if this building is all I see for next 50 years? People will say that psycho finally died in that building and the worst part of is that the fear never goes away. It is right under my feet". He finished putting his face into his palms.

I was taken aback by his rant. I didn't expect him to divulge so much and I suddenly felt pity. Yes I know he deserve worst punishment than this but what if he is innocent? What if he had to go through all of this for nothing? I pushed the thought back. Of course he is guilty. He has to be. "That sounds rough but I can't say I feel sorry for you" I told him he just sign and look down.

"You know if you tried to make friends with other patients it might not so bad" I suggested.

He scoffed and shook his head.

"What?"

"No thanks" He said

"Why not" I wondered

"Are you kidding me? They are insane. And that is second thing I'm afraid of the girl near my room keep talking with Amitabh Bacchan whole night. That Shamita aunty on that last table always trying to cook with invisible kitchen and walk like she is walking for a Fashion show. Ohh and how I can forget that boy in front of my room always kept saying- You are Karan and I'm Arjun from last life. I lost you in last life but I will not let you go this time. This is our destiny to meet here. Brothers Reunion" FUCKING HELL how can I make friends with those people" he said making disgust face.

"That's not true. A lot of patients aren't as crazy as they seem. Have you even tried to talk to them?" I asked

No and I have no intension to He said.

"Well that's stupid" I said

"Oh come on Tejasswi. Don't act like you would even go near these people if you were in my place?" he said and that was true. I probably wouldn't want to become friends with those people. I glanced at Karan. He was looking at me. His expressions were serious as he opens his mouth to speak.

Can I be Mr. Amitabh Bacchan? He asked. I suddenly burst out laughing. I was expecting him to say something serous.

"You have got a nice laugh Teju"

"What?" and then I realized he called me Teju. Twice.

"I said you have got a nice laugh Tejasswi"

He grins while that damn blush crept up my cheeks again.

"Thanks" I muttered. I tried avoid this awkward situation by concentrating on chess again .just before I was about to start the game again a huge rumble of thunder shook the room Rain.
