.......and they fell in LOVE

12. Returning home...

Dedicated specially to 2702_aanchal and RitviSwe.

Muskaan's pov

I silently followed him to the car. He took out the first aid box from his car and started healing my injury. He didn't speak a word. I kept on staring at him though the ointments were paining a bit at my injury spot but I was almost oblivious to those sensations. My mind was preoccupied with some other thoughts.

The way he started fighting back when they pushed me. His words...

How did u all dare to touch her?

I just won't let anything happen to you

I care for you because I.....
What was he going to say? Should I ask him again I thought. At that time he almost finished my first aid and put a bandage on my cut area on the forehead.

My eyes suddenly went to his hand where I saw he has several cuts and blood almost oozing out.

" You are injured badly. You also need a first aid " I said while taking his hand in my hand.

He freed his hand from mine with a sudden jerk and replied "No need, I can take care of myself "

" Ya, I can see that. Just stop this nonsense and let me do the first aid properly " I almost scolded him and forcefully took his hand and started removing the blood stains with cotton.

He at first tried to free his hand but my grip was so firm that he had to give in. After that he was sitting quietly and I continued my work.

I even felt his gaze on me for a several times. After finishing the first aid. He started to drive back to our home.

After few minutes of silence, I decided to ask him again because it was making me restless.

" You didn't complete your sentence and gave me the proper answer" I said looking at him.

" At first you answer my question, why did u went out of the car though I reprimanded you? Why did you came in front of me to save me? Why did you threaten them about not touching me further again? Why?" he asked me.

I was shocked. Yes, why I even did that? I myself had no answer to these questions or may be I just don't want to know.

I avoided his eye contact and started looking outside the window not getting any answer. There prevailed a silence again.

" Who were they? I mean who send them? Who was their boss? Did they mention anything or you got any clue?" I as usual broke the silence after a few minutes diverting the topic.

He motioned his head indicating a NO.

" Even I'm new to this company. I really don't know who or which companies are our competitors and moreover who has such evil intentions " he said.

" Ya, but your dad will surely know. You should ask him about it. We need to be careful. They were dangerous " I said

But I don't know why his face changed again hearing my sentence. He got angry again which was clear from his face. He made his grip more firm on the steering and continued driving without giving me any answer

Sensing something wrong, I didn't ask him anything further.

" We are going to a hospital first, and then I will drop you to your home, you need a check up. It's a deep cut" this time he spoke after reaching Mumbai.

" No please I'm absolutely okay. Please take me to my home directly. It's already late. I informed my parents when I started from Mahabaleshwar. They already called me many times. They are really tensed. I need to go home. It's not a very deep cut. I will be okay " I said.
He insisted me a several times more but finally gave in as I just wanted to reach home , only then I will be okay.
