HUMRAAH ~

chapter 12

HIS curious gaze tailed my crimson
silhouette wandering in the room; the
movement of my hands hastily opening
the cupboards and drawers and closing
them with a resounding thud; the swirl of my dress when i turned around and the struggle to walk in that heavy garment.

Dark irises chased my ambling frame
disappearing into the bathroom and
emerging a few moments later with my left hand carrying a pair of white rags and a tissue paper roll; my right holding a glass of water.

"Here. Clean your wound with this." I
carefully placed the items on the the
bed.

His eyes widened in astound at me
benign heart and his lips amusingly curled upwards at me hasty retreat after settling them.

"Thank you, rush " His voice was a soft
murmur.

A small frown settled my face at the
way he casually took my name.

As if he had known her since
forever.
I kept my lips corked and took another
step back as i watched him pick up the
small white rag that i had thankfully found in the bathroom.

My eyes narrowed irritatingly at his
dawdling attempt to sterilise the wound. Hewas doing nothing but bringing the cloth close to his wound, hissing and blowing on it, and then pulling back his hand without making any effort to clean it and stop the bleeding., He couldn't stop stressing over treating .

I clenched my jaw and i failed to
understand why my chest constricted
with a strange feeling while looking at him immersed in that hopeless struggle.
Should I .. no! No.maybe??

I knew i couldn't just stand there and
watch him. And this man clearly didn't care about the fact that anyone could show up here any minute.

"Give it to me. I... do it."

his head shot up and so did the pulse of her heart

Sami looked at me reluctantly stretched
hand, completely taken back by my offer

Sami "Huh... no, why would you?"

Rush -"Because you can't seem to do it,"

His lips opened and closed like a fish and
a faint shade of red contoured his features. She must be thinking you're
a pathetic wuss.
He heaved a sigh and nodded his head,
extending his arm to hand over the cloth to me... his eyes cruising over me outstretched hand. At that moment, an inexplicable desire to take my hand in his bloomed within him.

His fingers faintly trembled when i
scrupulously plucked the cloth from his
hand my bangles chiming when i
did-and he promptly rolled his fingers
into a ball of restraint, withdrawing his
hand and pinning it on his thigh. Rein it in,you idiot .

I was mesmerized by his veins Literally out of my sense but i soon remembered I was angry with him so i tried not to make it obvious but his arms ahhhh!!!!!!!!!

I moved forward, folding the sides of my lehenga and dropped down onto the far side of the bed;
I abruptly stood up again drifted closer and my stiff frame sunk down-far enough to keep to keep me far but close enough to make me A fiery blush spread across my cheeks but i refused to lose her composure.

Saim's lips twitched with mirth at
I conflicted actions and flustered
expressions. He watched my dipping the
ivory cloth into the glass of water and
when i veered towards him, he noticed
How my eyes were strictly trained down
to his wound.

His gaze traced the golden jewelry gracing my forehead above my
shimmery eyelids.

The reposeful sway of my sooty eyelashes held him spellbound and he couldn't tear his gaze away from me no matter how much he wanted to.

Or maybe he didn't want to At all.

I wrung the cloth and brought it to his
exposed, battered skin coated with red.
Blood was seeping out of the gash
and i couldn't even imagine how much pain he had been bearing till now. With utmost delicacy, i proceeded to clean the blood that had smeared around the edges.

The air between them became calm and
heavy; with my silence and his staring.
"Beautiful." His said
fractured the silence, making my heart
skip a beat. I didn't dare to lift her eyes. I knew he was looking at me.

So, i resumed wiping around the wound
and voiced in between. "Why are you stearing at me ??."

His chest rippled with a deep chuckle
and my hand felt the electrifying effect,
sending a quiver down me spine.

"Coz- I nvm " he drawled.
I stayed quiet and kept my focuson sterilising the wound,Try to hide my expression on him complement and the most importanttrying not to blush

I lightly tapped the cloth over the cut to restrict the flow.
Silence had barely enwreathed us again
when it was again dispelled by his voice.
"So, do you know him i mean arsh or what ever his name is??

I pulled in a sharp breath and gritted
My teeth,
"That's none of your business."

"But I still want to know."

At that, my head flapped up and my steely eyes clashed against charcoal.

A painful wince suddenly left his mouth, before i realized that i had pressed the cloth on the gash a little too harsh due to angry. I immediately eased my grip and bit her lip, hoping i didn't hurt him.

"You did that on purpose, didn't you?"

He queried with feigned displeasure.

I laced my brows into a scowl. "No, but I might if you don't stay quiet."

Sami's lips stretched into a whimsical smile and soon after, his throaty laughter rang in the air.

Rush- Shut up i say !!

Sami- "Jo hukum."

He turned his head on the other side...
Slowly, i Exhaled and the next moment, he returned to her with his lethal eyes.

A surge of sizzling heat simmered up my
cheeks and my quickly lowered her gaze,
I resumed my work to stop the bleeding with a thumping heart.

I tried to fill my brain with other thoughts but they somehow found their
way back to him ,

Sami- u didn't answered my question tho!! Do you know him

I signed no he is zee's cousin and now a good friend of mine ig

Sami - oh !!

He was a bit jealous ig but he was looking damn cute awwww!!!

Then i pressed the edges of the square-shaped bandage she had created with tissues one last time before i hand retreated back and i rose to her feet; leaving him feeling cold.
He couldn't discern if it was because of the absence of his jacket or me .

I She had barely taken a step when i realized i should remove the stuff i had placed on the bed for his aid.

The moment my body spun around, the fabric of my lehenga got caught in my heels and she stumbled forward, losing my balance and descending right into the guy seated on the bed.

Sami was busy unbuttoning his shirt when a startling gasp resounded in the room, making his gaze sweep up and his eyes bulged out of his skull when they fell on the falling frame her.

Before Sami could even move a muscle,
My body crashed into him, propelling
him backwards and his back hit the soft
mattress i was on top of him in all my heavy attired glory.

"Ow ow, it hurts!" Sami yelled, shutting his eyes tightly.

His pained groan reverberated in my ears and i slowly raised my head;

My breath flew my lungs when the
horrifying realization of their position.

I was lying on top of him; my hands
were laced around his shoulders and the
flair of my dress tangled between his legs.

My limbs froze and my mind went
completely blank.

And to make my state worse, his eyes flew open and those obsidian irises pierced right through my soul.

His wound ached because of my form
pressed against his chest. His hands ached to hold me. And his heart ached with a mad desire for the world to stop so this moment never ends.
