Under the moonlight

Ammi was hospitalized for another few days. Haseena Bhaiya and I got a little too busy managing our work-home-hospital routine.

However, there was someone else, who stood by our side like a member of my family.

It was Vyom!

He stayed in the hospital till late nights and some days even brought food for Haseena or Bhaiya who ever was staying.

That caused Haseena and Bhaiya to grow really fond of him. And as soon as I would come to the hospital, I would always find Haseena and Vyom gossiping or laughing at something. They developed a great bond.

I never thought Vyom would be so considerate!

Whoever brought this man up, must be a strong lady indeed.

Well, Ammi was getting discharged tomorrow and tonight I decided to stay at the hospital. The city witnessed some serious kidnapping case therefore Haseena was busy with it, and bhaiya had to go out of town for an important security work.

I made soup for Ammi, and packed it neatly in a tiffin. There were a few items more that needed to be packed, which I did and left to change my clothes.

I put on a loose green cotton shirt and jeans, neatly tying my hair into a ponytail.

Picking up the packed items I placed them on my bike's front and texted Haseena :
I am going to the hospital. Dont worry take care ❤

She didnt read the message but it got delivered so I understood she must be busy. I started my bike and reached the hospital in no time.

"Vyom!" I called his name reaching the ward Ammi was admitted in. She was fast asleep in her room with a drib on, while Vyom sat outside the room, on the waiting seat, resting his head completely on it. I could see he was tired.

My voice made him open his eyes, he looked at me and said "oh you came! I gave Ammi the medicines and she is sleeping now. The nurse came about half an hour ago and gave her the injection and here I got the discharge paper which needs to be signed by either you or Haseena."

I acknowledged all of it with a smile and did something I never thought I would do. I held his hands and hugged him, tightly!

"Thankyou for everything." I said breaking the hug, it barely lasted for 3 seconds or something.

However Vyom stood frozen at this sudden action of mine. 

Gotcha Mr. Vyom!!! Its not just you who can freeze me with your sudden actions!

He smiled and said "I did nothing worth being thanked so many times. Take care of her Karishma"

I nodded my head in response.

"acha you sure you will stay here alone all night?" Vyom said diverting the topic. 

"yes"

He looked at me with an uncertain expression on his face. Then he inched closer to me and looked straight into my eyes 

"be safe, and call me if anything bothers you" he ordered, raising his brows slightly.

There was a hint of care in his tone however, no matter how much stern he tried to sound.

"sure Vyom, but I can take care of myself!" I replied, giving a slight opinion that his statement could have hurt my female ego!

"I know you can" he said "chalo then, I'll take your leave."

"I shall escort you to your car" I offered.

"No you stay with Ammi"

He said and walked towards the lift. As soon as the door was about to close I called his name "Vyom wait!!"
