Chapter 30

Shivali's POV

I sat criss crossed on the floor as I use the shovel to plant the saplings into the earthen pots and sigh looking at the mess I have created around me. It has been the third day and I am still just as clueless as I was on the first day I started

"This is much more tiring than I though it would be" I said using my mud covered palms to my shoulder as I lightly massaged them in with my fingers. I closed my eyes as I planted the saplings properly into the earthen pot

"Finally, thankyou bhagwan ji" I said joining my hands with the shovel still in my hand. I looked around the balcony and saw all the saplings in the earthen pot properly kept there. I rubbed my palm together looking at the wet mud on the floor

"I have to clean this up too now. Why did I ever thought I would enjoy completing this project?" I said in a tied tone releasing a some air through my mouth as I sat on my knees and looked around getting ready to stand up 

I screamed as I leg slipped on the mud and I bumped into the earthen pot behind me and I fell down on the flor again. I opened my mouth and felt my knee hurt which probably rotated as soon as I slipped

"Shivali" I heard a voice and raised my eyes as I saw Devesh ji standing at the door with his eyes wide open as he looked at me worry. I blinked my eyes in his direction as he stepped towards me carefully taking his every step till he reached me

"What did you do here? It is literally looking like you played in mud" he said with his voice slightly on edge as he came to stand just in front of me. I groaned as I again tried to find my footing and atleast stand up

"I was planting the saplings in the pit and it tends to get muddy" I said slowly shrugging  and saw an amused look cross in his eyes for a mere second before he blinked his eyes and stared down at me

"Are you going to help me stand up and get out of here? I also needs to clean this up and if I can't clean it today, it would disturb my schedule and I get irritated if my projects are not completed under the deadline I set" I said blinking my eyes in his direction

"Here, hold my hand but hold it near my elbow" he said forwarding his hand in my direction and I gulped a little as my eyes moved around the veins covering his arm. I shook my head almost immediately as I held his arm and he did the same 

"Don't throw me. It hurt really bad the first time" I said as I felt his strong grip around my arms and I knew instantly that If I lose my footing there would be only two thins, either I don't fall or we both fall breaking my bones 

I lift my feet off the floor and stable myself as I stand up lighting. My feet slips beneath me and I shriek as his grip get even stronger and he stabilizes me pulling me closer towards himself and I felt my breath become ragged by our proximity

"I got you" he said as I stood straight and my right hand loosened around his. I took a breath as I looked into his eyes and saw him very very close to my face. He stepped back still holding me and I turned still holding him closely

"Ahh" I said as my leg again slipped and I felt his arm snaking in on my waist almost immediately stabilizing me as he pulled me closer. I raised my lashes to look into his eyes and saw him already staring at me as he licked his lips

"How about you keep your feet on mine? I don't trust your footing at this point" he said just against my ear and his breath brushed just against my neck and I took in a deep breath as it tickled a lot of senses inside me
