Balraj POV

The memories of my little flower playing with me still haunted me at nights. My Priye was taking really good care of me. My left ankle had a wound, since a piece of metal had pierced it while I was hallucinating.

This wound was the reason why I couldn't walk properly for another fifteen days, but my babygirl never left me alone. She had applied for a long leave at her college, and Preeti used to teach her important topics on the calls at nights.

My body was so malnourished that sometimes I would flake out without any prior symptom, but she never lost hope in me. Gradually, Ma's health was improving because she was observing my condition, that was getting better day by day.

Priye gave all her time to me. She used to prepare delicious healthy cuisine for me, and took special care of my diet and exercise. After a month of being discharged, I could finally walk properly, on my own.

"Priye!" I called her out, and she hummed.

"Hm!"

"You should continue your college now. How long will you stay here and serve me? You have a life."

I told her, and she glanced at me with narrowed eyes.

"My life is you."

She stated bluntly, but her words emanated love for me. She loves me so deeply.

"I want you to be one of the best lawyers of our country, and you certainly cannot become that by sitting here and taking care of me. Anyone will do it."

I asserted, and she took a place beside me. She cannot even sit on my lap now because I'm weak.

"No one will do it with the dedication I have for you."

She mumbled, intertwining our fingers. My fingers are wrinkled and crooked now, unlike before.

"Acharya ji had told me that you would take months to heal, but with my presence, you are able to walk just within one month. Let me be here."

She exclaimed, pecking my cheek softly.

"And your studies?"

I asked her, gazing at her beautiful tiny face. Her eyes have lost the sparkle too. She is working too much these days.

"I'm managing it. And if you really want me to focus on my studies, then get well soon."

She declared, and went away to fetch my medicines.

"I'm trying my best, but....."

I muttered, and suddenly my gaze fell on my fingers that she held a few moments ago. They are thin now, no more good looking.

"You are....the most handsome man of my life, Raj. Stop letting the stupid thoughts trouble you."

I was shocked to see her standing before me, her face right in front of me, and her eyes widened with anger. She notices me when I feel low about myself.

"Look at you, Raj. You were leaner when you came here, and now you are gaining weight. Just a few more weeks, and you can perform Yog and exercise. You'll get your muscles, confidence and aura back. Why do you stay so low?"

She encouraged me, and I smiled at her words. She is right. I can get back what I've lost - be it my strength, my lovelife or my daughter.

I did not complaint after that, and focussed on working on myself. I ate everything she offered to me without any complaints, and gradually my muscles began growing.
