A Case About Love

CH 5: RUHI IS TENSED..!

AUTHOR'S POV

“How're you feeling now?” Rehaan asked.

“Doctor, I'm having a severe headache” Kritika replied.

“Just take a rest after having your breakfast, the headache will be gone….it's just the effect of anesthetics….and also you'll be having liquid food for today” Rehaan said in his professional tone.

“Okay Doctor!” Kritika replied.

Just when Rehaan was about to exit the ward with the nurses, Kritika called him.

“Doctor!..” came Kritika’s voice.

Rehaan gestured to the nurses to go ahead and he came back again in the ward and stood in front of Kritika.

“Yes…” Rehaan asked.

“Doctor, I want you to call my assistant Ruhi….and…umm…can you tell me about what happened yesterday….I mean I remember that I got hit by a truck and after that my mind went blank…..as far as I remember I was with a….umm….. Khadoos ….yes I was with a Khadoos ….and I'm pretty sure he can't bring me here so who is the gentleman who brought me to the hospital?!” Kritika said all her confusion.

Rehaan chuckled a little bit and then started clearing her doubts. “Ruhi will come here by 9 am…and the Khadoos you're talking about is my brother, Ishaan Malhotra, the same FBI agent who is investigating the case regarding your company…Ishaan brought you here yesterday when you were bleeding heavily and was unconscious....and Ishaan will be here in a few minutes” Rehaan said clearing her doubts and left the room after giving her a smile.

“Why will Ishaan come here?” Kritika thought to herself.

Her stream of thoughts were broken when she heard the door of the ward click open revealing Ishaan.

“Good morning Miss Singhania!” Ishaan said entering the cabin.

“Good morning Mr Malhotra!” Kritika wished him back.

“Umm…” they both said at the same time in a hope to start the conversation.

“I'll go first…I was just saying that…. umm…thank you for bringing me to the hospital yesterday…now you say what you were saying” Kritika said.

“Hmm…I brought you breakfast…have it!” Ishaan replied.

Kritika murmured a thanks taking the breakfast from his hand. There was an awkward silence between them. After sometime Hriday and Karan entered the ward.

“Hii Kritika..!! How are you?” Karan asked in a cheerful tone.

“I'm fine…. sorry but I didn't get you…” Kritika said in a confusing tone as she was really confused.

“Oh! Forgot to introduce ourselves….I'm Karan and he is Hriday…we both work under Ishaan sir” Karan said clearing her doubts.

She just mouthed an ‘o’.

“Aan…I just want to ask all of you that..umm..do you have my phone with any of you or have you seen it anywhere?!” Kritika asked everyone. Everyone nodded in denial but everyone knew that her phone was with Ishaan.

“Okk…can you please inform Ruhi then..to buy me a new phone before she comes here?!” Kritika asked and Karan nodded. Karan then dialed Ruhi’s number and informed her to buy a new phone for Kritika.

Karan and Hriday were chit-chatting among themselves as they're best friends. Ishaan was busy with his phone on the couch doing something. And Kritika was reading a magazine which was on the bedside table. After almost half an hour, Ruhi entered the ward. She was panting heavily due to running. Karan then offered her a glass of water and she took it murmuring a thanks to him.

“Ma’am are you okay….are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?!” Ruhi asked in a panicked state, tears brimming from her eyes.

“I'm fine Ruhi…Shh baby…don't cry” Kritika said wiping Ruhi's tears.

Ruhi Rajput, age 23 years, was really special for Kritika. They shared a great bond. When Ruhi was 18 years old, she ran from her house because her parents used to abuse her just because she's a girl. That's when Kritika found her and helped her to complete her studies and she also offered Ruhi a job as her assistant. They're now been friends for over 5 years and Ruhi genuinely cares for Kritika.
