FALLING IN LOVE

part-38(taking care of kk)

It was 8 PM when Kk woke up.

The first thing he noticed was Teja sleeping on the chair beside his bed.

Kk to himself: This girl is completely mad... Who sleeps like this? If she continues sleeping on a chair, she'll end up with neck pain. I should make her sleep comfortably. But she looks so cute right now... Am I falling for her? Ahh... I don't know.

He carefully got up and tried to lift her onto the bed.

But before he could do much, Teja woke up because of the movement.

Teja: Karan... what are you doing?

Kk: You were sleeping uncomfortably, so I thought I'd make you sleep properly.

Teja: Wow... are you serious? Are you a kid or what? Why are you trying to hurt my husband, Mr. Kundra? If something happens to my husband, I won't leave you.

Kk: Oh... really? But your husband is stupid.

Teja: Oyeee! Mind your language. Don't you dare say anything against my husband.

A smile instantly appeared on Kk's face.

Teja: Now go and get fresh. I'll make dinner.

Kk: No, no. We'll order from outside. And... I need your help to get fresh and change the dressing.

Teja: Hmm... okay. You wait. I'll be back.

Teja went into the washroom and returned with a sponge and a bowl of water.

Teja: You'll have to remove your shirt.

Kk: Teja, I can't remove it properly with one hand. You'll have to help me.

Teja: Okay...

As she started unbuttoning his shirt, both of their heartbeats increased.

Kk couldn't take his eyes off her.

Teja could feel his warm breath on her face, which made her even more nervous.

Slowly, she helped him remove his shirt.

To steady himself, Kk placed his good hand lightly around her waist.

Teja: Ka...ran...

Kk: Haan, Teja...

But Teja couldn't say anything.

She quietly helped him and then carefully cleaned his shoulders, chest, and back with the sponge.

For both of them, those few moments felt strangely different.

Neither knew what to say.

After finishing, Teja helped him wear a fresh T-shirt.

Kk: Don't worry. I'll change my pants myself.

Teja: Hmm...

Kk somehow managed to change and came back.

Meanwhile, Teja arranged all the dressing materials neatly on the table.

When Kk returned, she carefully removed the bandage from his head.

The moment she saw the stitches and the wound, her eyes filled with tears.

Kk immediately noticed.

He gently wiped her tears away.

Kk: Hey... don't cry. It's okay.

Then he calmly explained what medicine to apply and how to do the dressing.

With slightly trembling hands, Teja followed every instruction carefully.

Once she finished, Kk smiled proudly.

Kk: See? Perfect.

Teja finally smiled a little.

After that, they had dinner together.

Later, when they returned to their room, Teja picked up her phone and set an alarm for 6 AM.

Kk: Why are you setting an alarm?

Teja: Don't you want your surprise?

Kk's eyes widened.

Kk: So you weren't joking? Wow...

Teja: Nope.

Kk: Now I'm curious.

Teja: Good. Then be ready at 6 in the morning.

Kk: Teja...

Teja: Hmm?

Kk: You're not going to tell me?

Teja: Absolutely not.

Kk: That's unfair.

Teja: Good night, Mr. Kundra.

Kk: Good night, Mrs. Kundra... and don't forget, I'll be the first person asking for my surprise tomorrow.

Teja just smiled and switched off the lights.

Both lay down, wondering what tomorrow would bring.
