The Eternity of Love

Chapter 40

Suddenly the door opened, making him turn his head. He looked at the door and found Diksha. She came running to them and asked, "What happened to her suddenly??"

"Don't know. When will the doctor arrive??", He asked, while rubbing her palm.

"She will be here soon", Diksha replied and sat on the another side of her. She took her another hand in hers and started rubbing it. Anaya was still shivering. Arhan asked Diksha to put on one more quilt on her. She nodded and went to take another quilt.

After a while, The doctor arrived and checked Anaya. She put the thermometer in her mouth and waited for some time. After checking the readings of thermometer, she took out a injection and injected Anaya.

Arhan was standing right beside her, when the needle made its way inside her skin, she hissed in pain and held his hand tightly. Arhan didn't say anything and let her do what she was doing. As the neddle started emptying itself inside her, she felt pain. She held his hand even more tightly and dig her nails.

The doctor pulled out the needle after emptying it. She turned towards Diksha and informed her about Anaya's state, "Relax no need to worry. It's just seasonal fever, she will get better by tomorrow morning". Diksha nodded and went to drop her at the door.

Arhan looked at Anaya, whose face was completely pale and she was breathing through her mouth. He was no longer able to see her like that, so turned to go but, his steps halted when he felt a hold on his hand. He turned and looked at Anaya who was holding his hand.

"Please, don't go. Stay with me", she pleaded. Her voice was barely above a whisper. Her eyes welled up with tears and soon they overflowed. Arhan immediately rushed to her and sat beside her. He wiped her tears saying, "Shh...don't cry. I'm here only". She sobbed and placed her face on his palm.

He smiled and put the hair strands behind her ear with his other hand. "Sleep", he whispered, while caressing her head.

"You will stay here, right? You won't go after I fall asleep, right?", she asked in a baby voice, showing her puppy eyes. Arhan smiled and shook his head in no.

"Promise"

"Promise, I'll never leave you"

The way he said these words, acted as a painkiller to her. A wave of relief washed over her and a small smile tugged on her lips. The determination in his tone, the concern in his eyes was clearly showing his love.

Yes, she was feeling insecure because he wasn't confessing his feelings. She started overthinking that what if it's not like that it seems? What if she misunderstood his feelings as love? What if he does everything as a good human? Moreover the distance was just worsening her state.

But after looking in his eyes, all her doubts flew away. Today she realized that they both don't need words to talk, their eyes are enough. Their care, their concern, their tone, their behavior, everything confess their love towards each other.

They don't need words to describe their feelings, they understood each other's state just by looking into each others eyes. This was beauty of their love.

Gradually she fell asleep. His hand was still stuck between her face and pillow, but he was liking it. He was just looking at her face lovingly. The peace on her face was bringing solace to his soul. At that moment, he realized that no other person has this power to make him feel in such a way.

Only she can make him feel in a way where he can experience both fear and love at the same time. He was falling for her again and again. Even a mere action of her makes him fall for her. He was just lost in admiring the beauty sleeping in front of his eyes with a small smile on his lips.
