"No!! I will walk!"
Ananya demanded. After being discharged, Ananya suddenly became stubborn. She wanted to walk with stick but no avail. So right now she was arguing with her attending nurse.
"But miss you will hurt yourself-" The nurse tried to explain.
"But atleast allow me to try!" Ananya asked.
"No! You will hurt your foot!" Nurse explained.
It was just that moment when Doctor and Debu arrived together. They were surprised seeing Ananya and Nurse arguing. On doctor's enquiry nurse revealed Ananya's demand.
"Ms Ananya! Please calm yourself! This act of yours can widen the hairline fracture to a crack. It will even painful than this one!" Doctor explained.
"But-"
Ananya paused. Her eyes were filled with tears. Debu felt guilty about this. Despite it wasn't his intention yet he became reason for it.
"I know Ms Ananya! Next week is a festive week. You must be feeling bad. But trust me it will heal soon. You need to be patient." Doctor explained and turned to Debu, "Mr Debu. Please you explain her!"
Both Ananya and Doctor turned to Debu who was standing near them. He was flustered as he nothing to say. Ananya glared at him while Doctor had hopes from him. He cannot defy either of them. Just then an idea struck in his head.
"Doctor! Let Ananya walk!" Debu said suddenly.
Both Doctor and Ananya looked up at them in surprise. Doctor blinked while Ananya cheered like a baby. Doctor gave him a hesitant look while Debu nodded his head as a sign saying 'trust me' .
"Ananya! Do one thing! Let's make a bet." Debu said.
"What bet?" Ananya looked at him.
"You go and sit to that wheelchair all by yourself and I promise to convince the Doctor that you can walk in fracture!"
"Hmm...okay.." Ananya nodded.
"But if you fail to do so, you will have to sit on your wheelchair until your recovery!" Debu challenged.
"Okay!" Ananya nodded with confidence.
"Sure?" Debu asked.
"Sure. I can do that!" Ananya said with confidence.
"Alright!"
Debu went to her side and fixed the wheelchair at certain distance from her bed. He gave her a thumbs up and she understood it as start. Taking support from the bed post, Ananya stood up. Her fracture ached.
Ahh...!
She groaned in pain. Debu instantly became anxious. He was about to hold her when she stopped him. She was determined. Taking support, she could only take two steps. Debu observing carefully stood behind her. She took another step. This time without support. Debu just has anticipated. Ananya lost her balance and slipped. She was about to fall.
Aaahhh!
It was just a moment before when Debu caught her. She was scared to core. She was in Debu's arms while Doctor rushed to her.
Isliye kehte hain Ananya, zid karna acchi baat nahi hoti!
Debu said. Ananya was silent. With a look of defeat in her eyes, she watched Debu who was looking at her with worry in his eyes. She could clearly tell that it was for her.
"Let me help you!" Doctor said.
"I can do it!" Debu said.
He who was holding Ananya with his one arm on her waist, with his other arm held Ananya up. She was now back in his arms. Within few steps, he reached her wheelchair. He gently helped her sit there.
"There you are! Now that you've lost, you will have to sit here-"
Debu stopped seeing her. Her face was wet. Tears were welling out of her eyes. Something instantly broke in him. She was sniffling.
"Ananya..." he muttered in shock.
Soon her sniffles turned into cries. She began to cry. Not like an elder person, but a baby who lost his favorite toy. Debu gently wiped her tears. But she instantly slapped off his hands.
"Ow.." it was hard slap.
"Its all your fault!"Ananya blamed.
"Ananya I-"
"Just stay away from me !" Ananya warned.
Ananya said wiping her tears. Debu became sad. As now he had to befriend her back. Genuinely too as well as to find her true identity because she was now a mystery for him. Vivaan who went to call cab, returned back. Soon trio stood outside hospital. Vivaan decided to bring Ananya's medicines after se refused Debu to bring them. Vivaan asked Debu to take Ananya back home as he had to visit somewhere (means Veerlok) too. Despite Vivaan's desperate attempts to mend things between Debu and Ananya, she was reluctant.
No way Vivaan! Dabbu meri wheelchair ko hath bhi nahi lagayega!
Ananya announced. Debu sighed. Vivaan saw something and smirked.
"Okay. You two wait for me in Parking Lot, I'll go and buy Ananya didn't medicines. And Debu bhaiya! Don't even dare to touch Ananya Didi's wheelchair. Okay?" Vivaan said dramatically.
"Sure! I won't!" Debu agreed realising why Vivaan meant so.
"Ananya didi will take her wheelchair HERSELF!" Vivaan announced holding his smile.
To kya hua! Mai khud chalakar le jaungi apni wheelchair! Mujhe kisi ki madad ki zaroorat nahi hai!
Ananya announced confidently. Vivaan left the place after Ananya gave him her credit card for payment. Ananya held the wheels of her wheelchair to roll them. Debu watched Ananya and then smiled as she stopped. In front of her where many stairs. Her face fell open in shock and soon turned cutely embarrassed one. Debu couldn't help but give a smirk of fun to her.
She looked up to him. Debu pretended to not to notice her and whistling went down the stairs. She again became shocked.
"DEBUU!!"
She called out in sadness. Debu stopped pretending to notice her. Then he pretended to clean his ear making her feel that she wasn't loud enough. Ananya was almost at the edge of the place.
"DEBU HELP!"
She bellowed. Debu finally stopped. He turned around to her and with a smile started to return back. Just he noticed something. His eyes widened in shock as he shouted,
ANANYAAA!!
