FALLING IN LOVE

part-83(i did not wanted to hurt u)

Teja: And without you, I'm nothing, Sunny. Nothing... I'm really sorry, Sunny. At least look into my eyes. Don't I deserve one chance from you?

She paused, tears falling from her eyes.

Teja: I think I don't... I think Maa was right. I should have died... I should have...

Kk couldn't hold himself anymore.

He immediately pulled her into a tight hug.

Kk: What do you mean, "I should have"? How can you even think like that? Why don't you understand that you have become my life? I can't imagine my life without you. Why can't you understand that, Teja?

His voice broke.

Kk: I'm sorry that I keep running away. I'm sorry that because of me, you felt alone. But in my anger, I didn't want to hurt you by saying things I didn't mean. I just wanted to understand what was happening. That's why I came here.

He tightened his hold around her.

Kk: I'm sorry, Teja. And please forget whatever Maa said. She said it in anger. Please forget it.

Teja: Hmm...

They stayed in each other's arms.

For almost an hour, they sat there quietly.

But after some time, Teja started feeling uncomfortable.

A sharp headache began building.

Her hands started trembling.

Teja: Su... Sunny...

Kk immediately turned towards her.

He had been enjoying the view, but the moment he saw her face, his expression changed.

Kk: Teja? What happened?

Teja slowly placed her trembling hand in his.

Teja: Sunny... can... can we go home? My... my head is hurting a lot...

Kk immediately became worried.

Kk: Teja, we'll go home. But first, relax. Did you take your medicine before coming here?

Teja looked guilty.

Teja: No... Omi bhai told me to take it... but I said I would have it later...

Kk: Yaar, Tejaaa...

He ran towards the car.

Kk: Wait. I think I have it in the car.

After searching for a few seconds, he finally found the medicine.

He quickly came back and gave it to her.

Then he held her hand and started talking softly.

About random things.

About their future.

About her studies.

About the silly things she did.

Anything that would distract her.

Slowly, her breathing became normal.

The trembling reduced.

And after some time, she fell asleep on his shoulder.

Kk smiled sadly.

He carefully picked her up in his arms and carried her to the car.

He adjusted the seat so she could sleep comfortably and drove back home.

As soon as they reached home, Kk carried her inside.

Km and Tm were sitting in the hall.

Km: Sunny! You discharged her? Why didn't you inform us? We would have prepared something to make her comfortable.

Kk: Mom, let me put her to sleep first. Then I'll talk to everyone.

Km nodded.

Kk took Teja upstairs.

He carefully placed her on the bed.

He covered her with a blanket.

Adjusted the pillow beneath her head.

Brushed away the hair covering her face.

And stood there for a few moments just looking at her.

Then he quietly came downstairs.

Tm immediately stood up.

Tm: Sunny... she's fine, right?

Kk took a deep breath.

Kk: Physically, she's improving.

He paused.

Kk: But mentally... no.

Kk: She's not fine.
