You're Here♡

3. Spaces Between Us.

He frowned by the direct rays of sunshine which disturbed his peaceful sleep, and opened his eyes to see he's still in his hospital room.

He can feel the dull headache which was in his routine now, he sighs and turn to his side to check the time on his phone that's when he felt a squeeze on his right hand and saw her.

The sight just warmth his heart, Zeeniya was sleeping beside him while sitting uncomfortably on the chair, she was holding his hand in an angle that was uncomfortable for her but to reduce the swelling of his hand due to IV's, her head was just resting on bed beside him,

He just stared at the fortunate sight,
Her generosity amazed him again, he deliberately broke her heart 7 years ago, he cut her off completely without giving her any answers but she didn't for once complained about it, she's just here with him without any bitter feelings,

He was witnessing this sight after a very long wait, he was witnessing her care again after he lost the chance with his own mistakes, she must have many questions and she deserves every answers.

The hairs strands on her face was disturbing her sleep, he smiled seeing her twitching her nose again and again trying to get rid of the hair strands.

She didn't want to use her other hand, she was sleepy, that why she was afraid that what if that hand collide with the wires attached to him, that will hurt him. So she was trying to get rid of that hair just by twitching.

"She still twitch her nose like a toddler." Ziyaan thought and smiled wholeheartedly.
The urge to tuck the strands behind her ears overpowered him, he was about to touch her hair but something in him stop him... he pulled his hand back.

That's when she wakes up and itch her nose and set her messy hairs then checked his hand and sigh in relief, the swelling was less than last night...

"Good Morning" he whispered

Zeeniya looked up and saw him staring at her.
"Are you awake?" She didn't notice that.

He shakes his head "Still sleeping"

She chuckled lightly and takes her hand off his hand "You were uncomfortable while sleeping because of your hand so..." she try to explained. He nodded his head.

"How are you feeling? Do you need anything?"

"Just water" he dodge the first question smoothly

She nodded and pour water in glass from the jug, than set his bed in a position to make him sit and help him drink the water.

"Its 8 in the morning you slept for just 3 hours, it's better if you sleep again after eating something" she look at his warm eyes with her soft orbs

"I don't feel like eating anything, specially not these hospital meals" he sulk and confessed truly which he never did infront of anyone before

She turn to put the glass back on the table "I know, that's why I won't force you to drink these tasteless soups, but what about some chips" she asked excitedly

He was surprised "Chips? Really? Are you even a doctor?"

"I'm a psychologist" she smirked " that will change your mouth taste and Lil bit of chips don't hurt anyone anyway, just don't tell anybody" she whispered the end near his ear.

"I want the chips NOW" he whispered back,

she chuckled and turned to take the packet out of her bag,

These doctors just can't stop making a patient bored by tasteless food, she ate lots of chips after her surgeries even the nursing staff was fed up of her not so healthy activity, but they like her a lot to say something about it.
