𝑪𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒍 "Ahh.." I felt a sudden pain and opened my eyes. The first person I saw was Rishi, unknowingly a smile took over my lips slowly. I blinked my eyes few time and I realised I was in his room, I looked down at myself I was wearing his Tshirt and shorts.
"Sorry I didn't meant to wake you up" he said. He sat near me with my feets on his lap. He gently massaged my feet. "How are you now?" He asked to me but not looking in my eyes.
"I'm good" I tried to sit up but didn't have the much energy to do so. "You don't have to.." I pulled my feets from his laps but he grabbed it again and placed my feets on his laps.
"Its fine..just a little foot massage and you'll feel good" a small grin touched his lips. I layed down and closed my eyes feeling the gentle massage for few minutes. He knew the pressure points really well.
"What happened with you there?" his voice calm and softer than it usually is. I opened my eyes to look at him, he was looking at me, his eyes softens as I look into them.
"I..um..you know there was firing" I tried to make him familiar with the situation.
"Yeah, I saw the news" he said. He looked at my feet and massaged the soles.
I told him everything, he listened to me with all his attention.
"Why was it me when he told you 'I'll kill everyone you love?" he asked his first question, his head hung down looking at my feet. A sudden rush of guilt took over me. I regretted telling him that part of the story.
"It's...ummm.. actually easiest to get me killed by killing you first, 'cause they probably know until I'm with you no one can even touch me if I don't want them to" I practically whispered those words. The words fell from my mouth not knowing where they would lead to.
He nods his head by agreeing what I said. "I'd love to see them try though" a chuckle left his mouth. "No one can touch you" he muttered under his breath thought I did not hear it.
How can he loves someone else and still be this protective and possessive about me, like I'm his prized property or what. I let out a giggle at the thought. I glanced at time. 12:34.
"What's there to giggle?" a crease formed in his forehead in confusion.
"Nothing" I simply stared at him and folded my arms over my chest.
"You know I got scared when you called me and then I saw you in such a miserable condition for a second, you didn't look like the Coral we all knew" he didn't look in my eyes. He really does not look into eyes when he is nervous. I have caught off guard alot of times. His words made me realise it's the Coral no one saw.
" 'cause that's the Coral only my closed ones saw" I sat up taking my feets off his lap. "After Maa I never really showed much emotions to anyone in my life expect Daksh"
"I feel like you should often be the Coral you actually are" he moved closer to me.
"Coral isn't someone weak, she became stronger and stronger with time that's what actually Coral word means" I said to him. I know the moment I will start being the weak Coral people will approach me to give their sympathy and pity, I don't need all that.
"This isn't about being weak or something it's something you should not hold up for so long" there was concern in his voice. His voice weakened a bit like he has been through it. "I never liked India infact the I hate fact that I have to live in hometown after almost twenty years"
"What!?" I said in surprise. "Kolkata is your home town? You are not kidding me right?" I was freakin surprised.
"Yeah, I lived here until I turned 10 years old, then my father and I shifted to London." he said with frustration. He ran his hand through his hair annoyingly.
"What made you stay in India then?" I asked in curiosity. I was just hoping that he will not say he found his love or something. It'd break my heart if he says he found someone.
His eyes softened as he imagined the reason to stay in India. A small grin touched his lips. "I met someone, I didn't want to live not until I met her, she's the reason of my existence" he smiled at me.
I could hear my heart break into pieces. Like a heart made of glass slipped and broke into million pieces. I can not show him I'm broke so I just smiled assuring that he must be right about her.
"She must be lucky" I said with my head hung down obviously showing I was not happy.
"I'm more lucky 'cause I've her, my only reason to survive" he blushed this time. He looked cute when he blushed, I never saw him blushing. His eyes were stuck on me, I felt a sudden knot in my stomach. His gaze was like warm blanket on chilly nights, hot chocolate in a fuzzy winter night.
"Do we have something to eat?" I asked to change the topic and also I was hungry, last time I ate was 10 hours ago.
"Yeah" he stood and helped me to stand as I hurt my ankle. We walked to the kitchen.
I jumped and sat on the kitchen island. He pulled out the leftover from the fridge and kept in the microwave. I simply sat there watching him with my feets dangling in air.
