"Leave my leg."
She cried in pain but he didn't let it go.
"How did it happen?"
She glared at him and he looked at her in realisation.
"Please don't tell you fell on the stairs or something?"
She continued glaring at him with teary eyes.
"Waise toh tumhe pure time argue krna hai. Lekin jab stairs uss krne ko bola toh wo pura karogi tum? Ban thodi na kia tha maine lift use krne se. I was teasing you, you stupid girl."
He said and she looked away. He was right. She could have used the lift. He couldn't even have stopped her.
Prateek examined her leg and called the attendee there.
"Get me the first aid box and the medicine box now."
The man sensed the urgency and ran to work. He came back with both the items in less than 5 minutes.
Prateek took the pain relieve ointment and put it on the swollen area. He started massaging it and she shrieked.
"Nhi please! It hurts. Prateek please leave it."
She cried clutching the couch tightly. She tried moving her leg but he held firmly. She clutched his arm and dug her nails in pain.
He let her and continued massaging.
"I know it hurts. But it is important. Dard reh jaayga warna."
He looked genuinely worried.
"I am going to break another vase of yours."
She sniffed and glared at him and he looked at her confused. Why was she after his vases?
"Why?"
"You broke my leg. It is fair."
"First thing, I didn't break your leg and second, you already broke my vase."
"Toh? Mera per tumhare do vases ke barabar hai na."
He shook his head at this crazy girl. Why was he even arguing with her.
He took the crepe bandage and wrapped it tightly around her swollen ankle to reduce to the swelling.
"Please aaram se."
She cried. The pain was making her dizzy. She rested her head back and he looked at her worried.
After securing the bandage he took a pain relief tablet and handed it to her.
He made her lay on the couch and let her rest. She didn't know when she fell asleep.
Next she woke up it was already evening. She sat up in haste and hissed as pain shot through her leg.
Prateek came in the cabin and saw her awake.
"You're awake! Kuch khaana hai?"
