Eda's pov:
I stood dumbstruck at the end of first floor staircase. I should have listened to Reza and taken the elevator to third floor.
The squall in krishna's black orbs didn't went unnoticed by me. I gulped and look at Reza and he is no different.
"I will go talk to him" With longest strides Reza was before krishna's door. He knocked not once but thrice. My heart fell into my stomach, krishna was hurt I can see in the way he stands, speaks, looks. I puffed out large volumes of air when the door opened, not thinking much Reza walked inside and closed the door. Sighing I left to my room. They both are good friends hope this tiny misunderstanding doesn't taint their relationship, or am I just exaggerating? I mean I asked, reza didn't even completed the answer in fact I don't know whether he is going to say the truth or just say some story to get me off this searching mission.
My phone pinged with a message
Aditya: The package is delivered!

Smiling at the phone I sent a fast reply and placed it on night stand. Folding hands under my head I laid on bed staring at the ceiling fan.
"Now I can work fast!" Turning to the other side I closed my eyes, sleep consumed me soon this night.
Next day morning I went to the gym room as usual and Krishna is already there exercising heavily.
He look up when I walked inside
All the while to my routine corner spot he keep on staring at my back. I slowly pulled off my crop top, I am now only in my sports bra and yoga pants. I bent down to tie the shoelace properly, from the gap between my legs I see him staring at me almost with his mouth open. Noticing my stare he gulped and turned away, smirking I walk towards the rack to pull one mat. I plugged in my headset and started working on my body, I am on setu bandha sarvangasana then I heard a loud sound, I unlocked the asana and saw krishna's neck bleeding. I hurried fast to the drawers to bring the first aid kit. One gym equipment opened up at ends, the shrap metal might be the reason.
"No need" He stopped my hand from reaching him by patting his towel at the cut. I swat away his hand and kneel before him while he is sitting.
"Widen your legs krishna" I said rummaging through the kit
"Huh?" I look up, he looks bewildered so I moved his legs apart and move forward into the new space. I first cleaned the blood, he hissed, I lifted my head.
Time stopped
Universe disappeared
Surroundings blurred
In that minute I felt it, the pulsation of my heart, poor organ is beating so intense that I can feel the rhythm in my stomach.
Clearing his throat he look away first and I resume my work. All along his Adams apple keep on bobbing up and down making it hard for me to concentrate on the wound.
"Would you please stop gulping" He nodded looking into my eyes, hypnotized!
"There you go it's done" And we both stood up at a time bumping our heads accidentally in the process.
"Oops i am sorry" I hissed rubbing at my forehead
"Nope it's my mistake" And he left, no thank you, no appreciation. Whatever.
I got dressed up in a brown halter dress and stepped down for breakfast.
"When are you leaving?" I stopped in the middle of living room hearing his voice.
"What?"
"You got answer eda! Are you not leaving?" He shoved both hands inside his pockets, he wore a turtle neck tee, maybe to cover the wound.
