Shubman Pov :-

"Ishika" I screamed as I ran towards her catching her on my arms . My eyes betrayed me , continuously shedding tears .

I carried her and laid her down in my car and took her to the hospital . The doctor said she fell unconscious due to hypothermia ( basically body temperature decreased a lot ) . He said she would be fine by morning and that I could take her home with me .

I went home laying her down on my bed . I went to the kitchen and heated some water and filled it in a few hot water bags . I took the hot water bags and went to my room . Her lips had turned pale and she looked like Anna ( from frozen ) who was about to freeze. I couldn't see her like this.  I covered her with a few blankets and placed the hot water bags near her armpits to give some additional warmth.

I did not expect new year to start this way. I sighed and just went to the bathroom to take a hot shower and came back dressed in my pjs . I thought of going to sleep and went to lay down on the couch but sleep betrayed me . All i could think of was her.

I did not realise I felt so strongly until now . I tried to close my heart , block these feelings from such a long time but today I came to realise that I couldn't. 
This girl was making me feel things that I had promised my self to not feel again but I couldn't help it . I was falling , falling hard for her .

Her thoughts weren't letting me get an ounce of sleep so i just got up to check up on her. I sat next to her on the bed checking her temperature. She was still cold but better than before .

I sat beside her admiring her beauty for a while . Ishika squinted her eyebrows her lips quivering . It seemed like she was having a bad dream . I kept my hand on her forehead petting her. She seemed to relax after feeling my touch.  I kept stroking my hand on her forehead until I fell asleep .

Third person's pov :-

Ishika woke up in the morning feeling all warm. She tried to get up but felt arms around her which where preventing her from getting up . She looked at Shubman sleeping beside her . He looked like a small puppy in his sleep . She couldn't help but smile . Her head was aching as she remembered what happened last night. She was supposed to be angry at Shubman but she couldn't. 

How could someone be angry at him? He saved her at midnight which means he was searching for her , which means he realised his mistake . How could she be angry at him but he did need to know that .

He had hurt her before and even broke her heart and this was toxic. If he really liked her he had to earn her trust. She was not going to go back to him running just because he said sorry . She hated herself for forgiving him so easily but that did not mean she would forget . She had promised herself to not let anyone use her again but for now all she could care about her love who was sleeping next to her. His arms wrapped around her waist.

She decided to enjoy the moment a little longer as she cuddled with him savoring the moment . His musky sandalwood scent comforted her. She rested her head on the side of his neck gladly enjoying the love and comfort that she was gonna miss in the future .

She kissed his neck tears slipping her eyes as she drifted asleep in his comfort. Little did she know he was awake , his heart aching as his neck moistened with her tears .
