"Theory or practical?" He asked, his voice low and husky as his eyes roamed around her body.
"S-sir?" She shuddered at how close they were standing right n...

I was still at a little bit daze as Suryansh brought me straight to the infirmary. I wanted to stop him from carrying me like that in front of everyone but I didn't get the chance to do so. He was fast to bring me here, and his face was stoic as the nurse checked on me, my pulse and blood pressure. It was almost scary as how serious he was looking.
When the nurse was done he asks curiously, "What happened to her nurse? She almost fainted, it's not normal." I could feel his concern through his words clearly. The nurse gave him a smile and replied, "It is nothing to worry about. It seems she was starved and dehydrated and on top of it she got very excited, it is just a reaction to that." She then looked at me and said, "Don't skip meals from now on okay? It is not healthy."
I gave her a nod. "Stay here for a few more minutes and then go back home." Saying the final words the nurse left. But now a deafening silence settled over the room as I was left only with Suryansh and I could feel him glaring at me suspiciously.
"You skipped meals?" he asked in a deep voice, I looked up at him, his face was so neutral it was too tough to understand if he was worried or angry at this moment.
"Yes, just the breakfast and lunch, that's it." I replied. It wouldn't have been a big deal it's just because it is quite hot these days so when you're at empty stomach, you sometimes do get dizzy. Suryansh came forward and cupped my cheeks.
"Why?" I wanted to answer him, I really wanted to tell him about my self doubts, my low esteem, what my mom said in the morning, etc. But I couldn't , it wasn't easy to open up about things like this. Even if I loved him, and had full faith and trust in him, it still felt too early to open up about so many things. It felt like I was going to let him invade a very personal space of my life, and I wasn't ready to let it happen.
So I denied shaking my head and tried to give the most common answer that one might think when you're starving, "I am trying to loose weight". This is an universal answer, to cover up for everything that is happening in your life. I mean losing weight was probably the last thing to do right now, first was to face all the self doubt questions and the taunts.
