Flame of Eternity

Anya's POV:
As Ishan bhaiya told I went to meet the mafia lord king man, "Shubman Gill" at his own home. I had a feeling like I'm going in a lion's den on my own. I went there and met him, as Ishan bhaiya lead me to his room, I heard him talking on phone to destroy someone, I was surely afraid of this man now. I don't think he ever care for someone out of his family. I went in and checked his injuries. I tried to lift his arm up but he got angry and a beat skipped in my chest as I was trying not to ran away. Finally when I went home I felt a relief. Soon I fell asleep. Next morning I woke up and got ready and made a breakfast for me and Aaru. "So di, how was your first day with that Khadoos Billa??" Asked Aaru munching on his food. I smiled "Khadoos Billa aek dum uske name jesa hi hai, Khadoos" I said rolling my eyes and we both laughed making fun of him. After that I dropped Aaru to the library and I went towards the Gill residence. Once I enter the home, "hey, aa gai Tum?? I thought you will also back out as all the other doctors. It's so nice to see you here sweetie" said Shahneel bhabhi. I smiled, "no and don't worry I won't back out as I promised aunty, I'll make your brother fit and fine again and till then I won't leave him alone. I don't care what I need to go through" I said and she smiles wide hugging me. I slowly went upstairs, to Shubman's room, I knocked on the door, "it's open, c'mon in" I heard him say. I slowly opened the door and "close that door behind you" I heard him say again as he was all focused on his laptop. There was a man standing beside him. He looked at me and passed me a smile. I smiled at him and stood there silently waiting for Shubman to get free. "Take a seat, or you'll be tiered. I'll need some more time to get free" said Shubman finally looking at me, he was leaned against his head board of bed and has no shirt on. For a second I got lost in his deep ocean like eyes. "That's not a problem Mr.Gill, I can wait outside if you want" I said still looking him in the eyes. He looked at the man, "Aman, go and discuss all of this with Ishan, I'll sign it later" he said and that man smiled and took all the papers from him, "anything else you need sir??" He asked politely. He nodded and said, "give me my cigarettes" and that man opened the drawer beside his bed, "here you go sir" he said giving him the cigarette. He then went out and closed the door behind him. "Why do you smoke?? Mr.Gill, It's so unhealthy and it makes you so weak from inside" I said looking at Shubman. He looked at me as I coughed. To my surprise he threw his cigarette out of the window and said, "please be comfortable, I won't have cigarettes from now on" and smiled a little. I smiled at him. "Okay so Mr.Gill-" and I was cut in-between. "Please don't call me Mr.Gill, it feels like I'm at office or something. You can call me Shubman. Just Shubman" he said. I nodded. "So Shubman aapko abhi kesa feel ho rha hai??" I asked him slowly. He said, "I'm feeling good now" and I smiled at that. "Good, umm so let's do the dressing first and then will do exercises slowly as per your body allows" I said and he nodded. I than sat beside him, and untie his bandage and it was good now. I did the dressing and tied new bandage on his leg, "and we are done with the dressing now" I said looking at him only to find him looking at me smiling. "You should smile often, you got a beautiful smile" I said and he nodded, "thank you." I then made him slowly move his leg. He tried really well but I can sense he had so much trouble with the movements. Then I made him do some lite exercise for his shoulder. He was trying his best and to stop him from getting more pain, I held his hand strongly. His biceps were so strong, it could make sway a person just holding by one arm. And a tattoo of angel on his chest, was looking so good. After an hour or so, when we completed our exercise session, I gave him a lite massage on his shoulder. After it I looked at him, extending my hand, "this was a nice session Shubman. Take good rest and we'll meet tomorrow" I said as I took my phone and kept it in my bag. "Thank you for the session it feels good now" he said shaking my hand. I smiled and left. "Maybe I was wrong, he isn't too bad, I think he don't allow anyone to mess with his family. He is nice though by heart" I said to myself. I then went home and discussed my day with Aaru and we had dinner and went to bed. I wasn't feeling sleepy so I took my phone and googled about Shubman. Turns out he really is a person who don't know anything to talk or react rather than his business. I went to sleep and met him next morning. Just like that days passed fast, and Shubman was feeling good now. His shoulder injury was all cured now. He was able to lift weights too now. But his leg wasn't that strong still. It was almost a month and he was now able to move his leg fine. So today I went and made him exercise a little for his leg. "Shubman, aapko ab thoda thoda chalne ki practice bhi karni chahiye. Aapka per ab thik ho rha hai, you need to start putting on your weight on your leg too" I said. "Okay, but what if I'll fall" he said and I chuckled. I then helped him get up from the bed, and held him strongly by his waist with my left arm and held his hand around my neck from my right hand. In last some time we became such good friends. Or I can say very good friends. I made him take little steps and we went to the couch in his room. He then slumped himself on the couch as he can't hold himself anymore. Which caused me to fall on him as he is tall and way too heavy for me. I fell on him and he held me close to him protectively from my waist to not let me fall on the floor. We shared an eye contact and it felt that he needs to say something but he is not telling it. I was lost in his ocean deep, shining brown orbs filled with some unknown feeling. We was still in that position I'm on him and he was lying on the couch beneath me, our faces were just inches away. I pulled myself up and stood up. "I'm sorry, you okay?? I just lost my balance and fell on you" I said. He smiled, "it's okay, am good, you okay??" He asked softly. I nodded. I then went home and was unable to throw him out of my mind. I just can't remove his smiling face from my eyes. I was so confused that what if I'm falling for him. I was feeling something more than good friends for him. Aaru also noticed it. I can't help stop thinking about him all day and all night. Oh god is this how love feels ?? Am I so in love with him?? Why do I feel like this when I'm not with him?? Why I always want him around?? Why am I always wishing for his good health?? Why do I always have butterflies in my stomach whenever he smiles or he is talking with me?? Why the hell I feel some kind of strong bond with him whenever I touch him?? There's no comparison of us. He is literally a king and I'm just an ordinary person. He is really a good person by heart. I smiled to myself scrolling my Instagram. Just then I got a message from Shubman. "Hey, need to ask you something. Can I call you??" I typed "yes" and instantly I received a call from him. "Hiii, Shubman aap thik to hai?? Itna late baat krna hai so all okay??" I asked him with little worry. "Hii Anni, umm I'm fine I'm good, just don't worry, I was actually wondering, umm kal mujhe office me aek jaruri meeting attend krna hai, and as you know I'm not able to stand or walk for so long, and the meeting will be long so I was wondering if you can join me there at my office?? I mean if it's just okay with you, I don't mind if you say No or you don't wanna join" he said. "Umm no no it's okay, I'll join you there's no problem with it, I'll be there so don't worry. And umm can you send me your location?? I mean I didn't know where is your office so" I said. "Ohh umm no no you don't need to come there on your own, I'll send Aman to pick you up. Just get ready at 9:30am. Aman will be there. And umm take Aarav with you and drop him to the library as usual don't hesitate for it" he said. "Umm thank you but don't worry I'll be there on my own, I mean why bother Aman??" I said, "am not bothering him, he'll be passing by there so that he can pick you up from there. Please I insist" he said very politely. I said okay and we cut the the call.
