Four weeks went in a blink. Haseena had recovered a lot while living with him. Now she could walk but sometimes she needed support. Today she had a check up with the doctor.

"Ms Mallik, I am, am shocked!" The doctor exclaimed witnessing her condition.

"Kyun doctor?" She asked.

"I can't believe ki aapne itni jaldi itna improve kar liya!" The doctor said making her smile.

"A month before your mid riff was damaged badly and now you can walk. That's some miracle!" The doctor chuckled saying.

" Doctor, it's all because of Anubhav sir!" She said with gratitude filled eyes.

" Yeah?"

" Yes! His care healed me!" Haseena said emotionally but composed herself.

" I must say Ms Mallik. You're very lucky. Maine bohot aise log bhi dekhe hai jinke family members bhi unke liye kuch nhi karte...par dig sir is really concerned about you. Regularly akar aapke progress ke baare mein batate hain aur tips lekar jaate hain ki aur improvement kaise hoga!" The doctor's words made her stunned.

" What?!"

" Yes!" The doctor said. Haseena was too overwhelmed to react. They talked for some time. And Haseena stood up to leave.

" Thank you doctor!" She turned to leave when the doctor called her.

" Haseena!"

" Yes doctor!"

" I've grown quite close to you, so ek personal baat kahun?" The doctor asked.

" Surely doctor"

" I've never seen a senior caring so much for a junior, Maybe you are special!" The doctor said with a smile. Haseena looked at the doctor and left the room giving her a grateful smile while her words lingered on her heart.

She came out of hospital to find Anubhav waiting there for her in the car. As soon as he saw her, he immediately came out of the car and held her hand and opened the door for her with another one. She looked at him intently while he made her sit in the car holding her hand.

"Kya kaha doctor ne?" Anubhav asked pressing the accelerator. But haseena was quite lost to answer. Anubhav looked at her not getting an answer.

"Haseena ji!" He called her but she wasn't responding. Instead was looking constantly at the road. Anubhav grew worried as he thought that something about her health wasn't right maybe.

He looked at her palm which was resting on her thigh. He moved his hand slowly towards hers with a constant nervousness. He was about to touch her palm when he heard her scream.

"Sirrr!!!" He looked at his front and immediately turned the steering wheel to left as a truck was approaching them with full speed. And the truck was gone and they were back on the straight road. Haseena exhaled heavily as her nerves relaxed along with him. He looked at her but immediately concentrated back on the road.

"Aap thik hai?" He asked is a raspy voice as his Breath had been stuck due to hyper tension.

"Ji!" She nodded.

"Hume maaf kar dijiye, humara dyaan bhatak gya tha!" He said apologizing.

"Koi baat nhi!" She said as she noticed his tension.

They reached home safely. Anubhav helped get inside. She moved inside her room while Anubhav sat on the couch in drawing room running a had in his hair.

Haseena
I am unable get out of the words of the doctor. Her words made me feel both happy and restless. His care actually fluttered my heart but is it true that...I am still special to him. I remember his words in the jungle that he hates me. But now, It's sure that he doesn't hate me, but does he like me? Am I special to him?
