FALLING IN LOVE

part-36(Ka....ran..)

Teja: Oh yeah! I think I have collected all the things needed to change the balcony. Let me do that today... and surprise Karan.

Teja then called the helpers, and with their help, she packed all the old stuff from the balcony. After that, she cleaned everything.

Then she started arranging it. The first setup didn't satisfy her. She rearranged it again, but still didn't like it. After changing everything around four to five times, she finally arranged it beautifully.

It took her more than five hours. She had started at 7 in the morning, and now it was 1 in the afternoon.

Teja: Ahh... finally done...

Helper: Ma'am, eat something? Sir will scold us if he finds out you didn't eat.

Teja: Okay, okay. I'll eat. Don't worry.

Then she went downstairs and had her breakfast-cum-lunch.

After that, she checked her mobile to see if Karan had dropped any message.

But nope... nothing.

She waited for another hour.

Then Teja called Karan, but his phone was switched off, which scared her.

She thought of waiting a little longer.

Finally, she called Omi, but he didn't pick up either.

Teja started getting worried.

Still, she waited.

It was already 4 PM, but there was no update from anyone.

Teja: What should I do? Why am I feeling something different? God, please... please keep them safe.

It was around 5 PM when she heard the doorbell.

The moment she heard it, she ran downstairs.

Karan had come back, but he had a bandage on his right hand and another on his head. Omi was supporting him as they walked inside.

Teja: Ka...ran...

Kk: Teja, don't worry. I'm fine...

Teja: What is this? How? Why?

Karan slowly walked towards her.

Teja: Okay, we'll talk afterwards. First, let's go to the room.

Then they went upstairs. Omi helped Karan reach the room. Since he had to go back to the hospital, he left soon after.

Teja wasn't looking into Karan's eyes. She quietly arranged the bed while Karan sat on the sofa.

Kk: Teja...

Teja: Karan, come. I've arranged everything.

Kk: Hmm...

He tried to get up.

Immediately, Teja went to him and gave him support. With her help, he slowly reached the bed and sat down.

Teja then bent down to remove his shoes.

Kk: Teja! No, no... what are you doing?

He held her hand with his left hand and gently made her sit beside him.

Then he removed his shoes himself and held her hand.

Kk: Teja...

Teja: Hmm...

She was looking down.

Kk: Look into my eyes, Teja.

Teja: Hmm...

Slowly, she looked up at him.

Kk: Teja... actually, what happened was...
